As Guo Kai's words made it clear, everyone's eyes lit up. The Qin Dynasty was not short of money. Even every year, the internal history of Su, the imperial servants, and the Shaofu Yamen all had extra spending quotas that they could not meet.
Da Qin lacks nothing now, it only lacks people!
Think about the current territory of the Qin Dynasty, with thirty-six counties and counties, plus the newly conquered Yelang and Dian kings, the territory is unprecedentedly huge, nearly six million stone (the maximum unit area in ancient times is approximately equal to square kilometers), but what about the population?
, but only 30 million.
On average, each person can own 300 acres of land!
Therefore, what Da Qin lacks most is people. With Da Qin's current financial, material, and land resources, even if the population increases to tens of millions, Da Qin's land can fully afford it!
"There will naturally be penalties as well. For example, if a man is unmarried at age 22 and a woman is unmarried at 20, taxes will be increased, etc. The specific details are still discussed by Zhi Su Nei Shi and the Chinese Academy of Sciences!" Guo Kai continued.
"Encourage childbirth, regardless of gender!" Fusu finally confirmed the consensus reached during the discussion at the court meeting.
Not only the common people have to do this, but officials must also take the lead!
If the government works hard and the government comes up with determination and policies, there will naturally be nothing that cannot be done.
As for punishing those who drown babies?
When the new laws on rewards and punishments are promulgated, those people may only regret it and wish to strangle themselves to death.
There is no better way to kill than to kill one's heart!
In the past, villagers might sympathize with them, but when the law is promulgated, morality will be picked up and these people will be ridiculed.
"Tingwei, to govern the internal history of millet, the National Academy of Sciences will come up with a charter as soon as possible and promulgate the decree nationwide!" Fusu finally made the final decision and passed the resolution.
Because it was a resolution passed unanimously by the top and bottom, the three major government offices also quickly came up with the charter, stamped it with the imperial seal, and promulgated it nationwide.
The reality was just as Xianyang expected.
The people were a little confused at first, but after learning about Guo Kai's probability of becoming a talent, the people suddenly understood.
So what if the first thirty years were a little harder and a little tiring?
If you have more children, you won’t have no one to support you when you get old.
If you have more children, one of them will become a talented person. As long as one of you becomes a talented person, you will have enough food and clothing in the future!
If you have more children, even if they are not successful, the whole family will be able to have enough food and clothing every day!
Not to mention that if you have more children, the government not only reduces taxes, but also prioritizes work arrangements and even helps you raise your children!
So, watching the neighbors who had drowned a baby girl, they all stayed away silently.
Who can be a good person if he can drown his own children?
And those families who had drowned their children regretted and blamed themselves after the new law was promulgated. If they could have persisted for a while and gritted their teeth until the law was promulgated, why would they have done so?
They are all my own children, a piece of flesh that my wife shed after she was nine months pregnant!
There is nothing more heart-wrenching than killing someone!
The government does not pursue them, but can they get over the hurdle in their hearts?
"Why...why wasn't this decree promulgated earlier!"
Almost all families who have drowned their baby girls do not regret it.
And this inner suffering will accompany them throughout their lives!
"Fusu is finally able to stand on his own!" Ying Zheng, who was on the tour, watched the new decree being promulgated, and then went into the countryside to understand it in person. Then he had to sigh with emotion, Fusu was finally able to stand on his own.
.
At least the people support and recognize this new law.
"In less than ten years, our country, Qin, will experience rapid population growth!" Li Si also lamented.
During the six hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the population only decreased but did not increase. Especially in the late Warring States Period, the population growth was completely negative.
After Fusu's decree is promulgated and implemented, it is conceivable that the population of Daqin will probably double in less than ten years!
And with more people, the national power will become stronger!
The more people there are, the more things can be done.
In particular, they left the peacock to Fusu as the glory of Fusu's dominance over the world.
Originally, they expected to attack Peacock with an army of 300,000, but with the growth of Qin's population, the army that can be mobilized by then will probably exceed one million or even two million!
This also gives Da Qin more error tolerance!
At that time, even if Peacock returns to the heyday of King Asoka, it will not be able to compete with Qin, because Qin can lose once, twice, or even three or four times, but Peacock will be destroyed as long as it loses once!
The demographic dividend was extremely terrifying in the era of farming war.
Someone means you have power, and with power you can do more things!
Especially the old nobles of the six countries who were sent out, after finally annexing the Seleucids, they then fought and annexed each other, established a new empire, and were ready to compete with the Central Plains.
As a result, looking back, Da Qin has a population of tens of millions, but how many are they?
"I always feel that the title of Emperor of Eternity will be replaced by Fusu!" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and others with a smile and said.
Li Si and others looked at Ying Zheng and knew that this was relief rather than fear.
After all, who doesn’t want their children to be better than themselves?
If your children can surpass yourself, I am afraid they will be able to laugh out of their dreams.
But now Ying Zheng can imagine that by the time of the Fusu dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will be countless times more powerful than it is now, and will truly dominate the world and span the ages.
His current achievements will only become stepping stones for Fusu to reach the top!
"Then let us old people completely clear the way for the future of our children!" Ying Zheng smiled and held Li Si's hand.
"Okay!" Li Si also nodded seriously.
Let them clear everything and lay the foundation for an unprecedented world!
"People!" Jin Yao, who was inspecting Longxi, Jincheng, Zhangye and other counties, also had a headache.
Da Qin's current territory is so huge that both the Shandan Army Horse Farm and the Hetao Plain have only been developed less than a third, let alone the endless grassland.
The fundamental reason that limits all this is population!
In addition, the development of Jiangnan is also in short supply!
After the development of Jiangnan, Huguang will also be developed, but there is still a shortage of people!
The Hetao is known as the fortress in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is known as the land of plenty, and Huguang is known as the world-famous city!
This means that Da Qin's actual development of the land within its territory is only minimal.
The key to limiting all this is population!
In addition to the hinterland of China, after the expedition to Peacock and the conquest of Peacock in the future, millions of people will also have to migrate there at every turn, but there will still be a shortage of people!
Even if the population of Da Qin were to be doubled and thrown into this huge territory, it would be like sinking into the sea without making any waves.
"So, set a small goal and make a million dollars?" Jin Yao looked at the sky with a smile.
"I'm afraid ten million won't be enough. If we follow the blueprint your Majesty has planned for Great Qin, I'm afraid thirty million won't be enough to make even the slightest ripple!" Chen Xian said with a smile.
