"Okay, we've almost had enough of the quarrel, and we can talk about business." Yuan Shu was dazed for a long time, looked at the time, stretched out, and said.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision." After hearing Yuan Shu's words, the civil servants who had been arguing in a group stood back to their original positions and said in unison seriously.

Seeing the indifferent-looking ministers below, Yuan Shu's mouth twitched slightly. These literati were indeed a bunch of stinky hooligans. It's hard to imagine that they were arguing with each other just now, but now they are sanctimonious as if nothing happened.

Sighing slightly, Yuan Shu glanced at the three people paddling aside and selectively ignored Guo Jia: "Wenhe, Gongda, this matter will be left to..."

"Your Majesty!" Before Yuan Shu could finish his words, the "wooden man" Xun You suddenly stood up and said, "I am currently dealing with the fertility matters of my great Chu. I am really busy with my affairs."

"Hmm." Yuan Shu tilted his head and thought for a while. The matter of childbearing is indeed important and complicated.

"Then since Gongda can't be separated from each other, Wenhe, I'll leave it up to you to arrange this matter. After setting the rules, let me make the decision."

"Nuo!" Jia Xu, who had always kept his emotions secret, couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard this, and secretly glared at Xun You and Guo Jia.

What kind of job is this? It is purely offensive. No matter how it is handled, some people will definitely be dissatisfied in the end, and most people will be dissatisfied. Every time he encounters this job, Xun You pretends to be dead, and Guo Jia even more

He was such a scoundrel that he couldn't do the job at all, so everything fell on him in the end.

Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had no choice. If he didn't have no choice, he wouldn't want to embarrass Jia Xu, but he had no choice.

This kind of matter should be handled best by Tian Feng, the selfless leader of domestic affairs. However, although Tian Feng is selfless, he still has biases in his heart. If left to him, the national treasury will bottom out in a short time, which is a matter of people's livelihood and infrastructure.

This is a good thing, but the country's economy may slow down its development. This is something Zhang Zhao, who puts national interests first, cannot tolerate, and Yuan Shu cannot accept.

There is a balance in everything. Favoring the people and undervaluing the economy is not a long-term solution. As time goes by, the economy will decline and everything will get worse. It is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs. Tian Feng’s idea is good, but being too benevolent as a politician is also harmful.

Development. Zhang Zhao and Tian Feng are exactly the opposite. He comes from a noble family and puts national interests first and treats the common people like ants.

Although Tian Feng was nominally the leader of the civil servants, in fact, Zhang Zhao was the most capable in terms of internal affairs. However, Zhang Zhao had flaws in his character and was not as upright as Tian Feng and had an overall view of the situation, so he was suppressed below.

Now, due to problems with Tian Feng's own tendencies, Zhang Zhao, who had been holding back his anger, could no longer bear it and started to confront Tian Feng in the professional field.

Yuan Shu's ideal leader of civil servants, Zhuge Liang, is far from old and qualified, and his abilities are not yet fully mature, so he is unable to bear this responsibility. Therefore, Yuan Shu can only put the heavy burden on his daily life. Although he can paddle, his qualifications and abilities are not enough.

Enough for Jia Xu, Xun You and Guo Jia.

Among them, Guo Jia has a dissolute personality and is not good at internal affairs. If you leave it to him, he will just go to the tavern and ignore it. As for Xun You, he himself is more busy with the things he is responsible for. The birth of the people of Dachu is a big problem.

This extremely important issue involves all aspects and cannot be ignored, so Yuan Shu did not dare to put pressure on him. As a result, Jia Xu was the only one left to take the blame.

Jia Xu himself had learned what Li Ru had learned throughout his life. He was knowledgeable in everything from governing the country to internal affairs, and he was considered almighty. In addition, he had never formed any clique for personal gain and was devoted to self-protection. Therefore, his relationship with all the counselors was only

He can be said to be plain, and he doesn't favor or dislike anyone. He eventually became the most ideal candidate in Yuan Shu's heart.

Although he was displeased, Yuan Shu had already spoken, and Jia Xu could only hold his nose and acknowledge it. However, he was not someone who would not fight back just because he was being tricked. He glanced at Xun You who was pretending to be a sculpture, Jia Xu said

Xu said calmly: "Your Majesty, Xu already understands the relevant situation of various states, counties and departments, but I don't know whether many issues regarding fertility still need to be adjusted. After all, as the territory and population of our Dachu continue to expand, materials and

There is a shortage of manpower, and the policies implemented at the beginning seem to be inappropriate and require certain adjustments."

When Xun You heard this, his fixed eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly felt something bad.

It’s hard to take advantage of this poisonous man!

Sure enough, following Jia Xu's fluttering words, before Yuan Shu could respond, Tian Feng and others opened fire on Xun You.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the fertility rate in Dachu is too high now, with too many newborns. The fertility rewards and protections Your Majesty originally set are no longer appropriate. After all, we do not have so many kindergartens, kindergarten teachers, doctors and other talents.

, there are still so many poor people in the newly acquired land who need treatment, so it would be better to allocate this share to the newly acquired land."

"Your Majesty, what Tian Yuanhao said is totally wrong. The current state treasury has been losing money for several consecutive years since taking over Sili, and cannot make ends meet. It is true that some of these maternity protections should be abolished, but the remaining money should be returned to the state treasury and the remaining talents should be used

For state and county officer vacancies.”

"Your Majesty, our Liangzhou has suffered from drought and food shortage for many years. Now we still have large areas of grassland to continue to develop, and there are countless people who are in urgent need of medical treatment and scholarly education. Your Majesty, please give this share to me, Liangzhou!"

"Nonsense! You, Liangzhou, have allocated a large amount of money and food every year in the past few years, and the breeding industry is almost on the right track. Why do you still need so much money, food and manpower? Your Majesty, our Sili is really poor now! Back then, the tenth room was

In Jiukong, there are still countless people displaced, with no guarantee of housing and medical care. It’s extremely miserable!”

...

Jia Xu's words were like a depth bomb, detonating the court that had finally calmed down again, causing Yuan Shu and Xun You to have headaches.

Although Jia Xu said this as a retaliation, it has to be said that there were indeed certain problems with the fertility support policy set by Yuan Shu at the time. It was too generous. Yuan Shu had never experienced that kind of hardship in his previous life or in this life.

, did not know the fertility status of the people, and made wrong judgments.

Tian Feng and others had considered this issue earlier, but at that time Yuan Shu had a small territory, extremely rich money and grain, and was in the midst of a struggle for hegemony. A larger population was indeed a good thing, but it was not unsupportable, so he did not raise the issue.

But now, the world is about to get on the right track, and there is a shortage of people and money everywhere. There are big problems with the family planning policy that was so generous at the beginning.

In a society where the small-scale peasant economy is the mainstay and the people generally have a low level of education, they promote more children and provide almost complete protection. How terrible will the people's fertility rate be? If nothing else, in the early days after the founding of the People's Republic of China, just planting flowers

Come and see that generation.

The slogan "Strength in numbers" puts forward, how many children can a family at that time give birth to? It is common for an ordinary family to give birth to more than ten children, not counting those who died of starvation. Among these ten children, due to poor medical conditions, the youngest

People would die from minor illnesses, and many died in infancy. The number of people who could reach adulthood was about five or six, which was also the real fertility rate at that time.

You know, at that time, the average medical conditions in our country were not much better than in ancient times, but the exploitation and privileged classes were basically solved, and a certain amount of food and clothing problems were barely solved.

And now, when Yuan Shu also shouted such a slogan, the same situation even more terrifying appeared. Most of the earliest families living in Yangzhou now basically have never stopped having children, and they almost never stop having children.

A new child was born in the family in the middle of the year, and it has not stopped until now. In fact, if you think about it, this situation is quite normal. In this era, there are not many entertainment projects, and there is no feasting and entertainment at night. What can you do when it gets dark?

In addition, Yuan Shu has basically contracted most of the materials needed for the child's growth. Without pressure, they will naturally raise the child from birth to child. Anyway, there are rewards and no pressure after the birth, which has advantages and no disadvantages.

, there is no life in vain.

With so many children, Yuan Shu not only had to reward the families who gave birth to them, he was also responsible for raising these children and even providing them with a certain education. The money and food he needed to spend was simply a bottomless pit.

After successfully raising the fertility rate of the people under his command to the terrifying level it is now, and continuously reducing the premature death rate to less than 10%, Yuan Shu has also successfully placed a big burden on himself. Every year, when he sees his subordinates

While they are happy that the number of newborn babies is rising steadily, Tian Feng and others are also distressed by the manpower and material resources that the country needs to cultivate so many children.
