After returning from Yingyou Island, Lin Fu sent Lin Mengde and others away and returned to the camp on his own. At dusk, he accompanied Su Mei and Xiao Man to have fun in the garden. When it was getting dark, Liu Shidu came over to ask for a visit.
"Liu Shidu, please give him some time to get close to Zong Ting and Cun Xin. However, he came to bother me again. Could it be that he was worried about not getting the book I promised to give him?" Lin Fu was quite upset that Liu Shidu came to see him alone at this time.
Puzzled, he told Su Mei and Xiaoman that he had promised to give Liu Shidu "The Art of Speculation" while watching the performance during the day.
Su Mei smiled and said: "Master Liu may not be so small-minded, thinking about your husband's letter. I guess he probably has some ideas that are contrary to Meng Degong, and he feels that writing a letter to him may not be convincing, but he hides it in his heart.
I can’t express my feelings quickly, so I took this opportunity to come alone to express my opinions…”
"Then ask him to go to the study room and wait..." Lin Fu frowned slightly. At present, many new laws and regulations have not been established. It will take a long time for the laws and regulations to be finalized and rigorous. Lin Fu cannot yet put them into place.
Everything was left to the Duke's Council and the Privy Council, and Liu Shidu was led to the study room where he usually received guests in the inner room.
After Lin Fu took a breath, he called Song Jia and rushed to the study room together. He smiled at Liu Shidu who was sitting in the back room and said, "I haven't sent anyone to deliver the booklet yet, but Mr. Liu came to say thank you first..."
…”
"Shidu didn't dare to ask the lord for the book. He really has other doubts. I hope the lord can explain it to the master." Liu Shidu blushed and respectfully invited Lin Fu and Song Jia to come in.
Lin Fu looked at Liu Shidu's face and wondered what he would say if he asked to see him alone.
"If anything happens, just sit down and tell me."
Lin Fu sat cross-legged with a long case in front of him, and invited Liu Shidu to sit in front of the case so that he could talk easily. Lin Fu casually invited Liu Shidu to sit in front of the case. It was cold outside, so he simply burned a stove in the study to keep warm, and placed an iron sheet on the stove.
The kettle is boiling with a "pop" sound.
"Jiangdong County was divided into four divisions: Jianghuai, Huaixi, Chongzhou, and Jiangning. The Dingtian, account and other data of Jianghuai Division had been merged before the division came..." Lin Fu sat cross-legged casually, but Liu Shidu turned his waist
He straightened his limbs to show his dignity and sat across from Lin Fu, which was actually more strenuous than sitting on a chair. He slowly said what he had been thinking about for a long time.
The split of Jiangdong County has been something that has been going on since Lin Fu's first year.
Jiangdong County was split into four parts, and two Xuanfu Envoys were set up. The two Zhili Prefectures were under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council. After the split, the Yamen Office was set up, and the split and merger of Dingtian and other data were also the most urgent things for the Jianghuai County Secretary. However, these data
They were all forwarded to him through the Privy Council. There was no need for Liu Shidu to avoid Lin Meng and report to him alone.
There was no need for anyone else to wait on him, so Song Jia held a pot for Lin Fu and Master Liu made tea. He asked boiling water to be poured over it, and the aroma of tea filled the house and awakened his nostrils. Song Jia put the kettle on the stove and retreated behind the screen; Lin Fu then
Without saying a word, she motioned for him to continue.
Liu Shidu thought for a while and replied: "The records of Ding Tian were recorded in fish scale books in the old days, but there were even many errors and omissions, and there were many omissions and omissions, which were not enough to support good governance. However, the Lord was implementing a new policy in Huaidong. Except for Ding Tian, the people's mouths were not as good as the old ones."
, grain production, property, marriage and childbearing age, maternal deaths, infant deaths, the number of mulberry and cotton fields and cattle feeding, all can be traced in detail, which is very convenient for people's livelihood and governance, and it is actually good governance. Only with detailed data can we
We know for sure that the power of the new policy is far beyond the power of the old..."
"Yes, yes, yes, if you only report the good news but not the bad, you won't miss the opportunity to drink with Zong Ting and the others..." Lin Fu said, asking Liu Shidu to put down the burden and tell him if he has anything to say.
Liu Shidu went on to say: "... In the past, for girls of childbearing age, childbirth was a matter of life and death. Jianghuai was good, but there was a saying that one hundred lives and one death. When giving birth to children, poor families had the most difficulty in maintaining their health. After six or seven children were born, many died in infancy.
, only two or three children can grow up. However, the Lord governs the Jianghuai River, implements new policies, and makes all prefectures and counties implement health laws. The old views on difficulty in childbirth and child mortality have been gradually improved in recent years. These have been gradually improved in Hailing Prefecture.
In the inventory after the first year of Yongxing, detailed records were obtained, including the first scene of the prosperous age, and Shidu came specially to congratulate the lord!"
Lin Fulue guessed Liu Shidu's purpose of coming, but seeing that he was still secretive up to this point and did not dare to tell the truth, he sat down with his hands in his hands, holding a lamp, and waited for Liu Shidu to continue hesitantly.
"Last year, more than 80,000 children were born in Hailing Prefecture, and 186 pregnant women died; 4,000 children under ten years old, including dead babies who did not survive, died in infancy due to illness or accidents.
There were more than 30,000 people who died. In the first year of Yongxing, when the number of births was the same, more than 500 mothers died, more than 15,000 children died in infancy, and adults died due to illness or accidents.
, it’s only slightly more, not a big change…”
Lin Fu pressed his hands on the long desk and remained silent.
In the first year of Yongxing, various conditions in Hailing Mansion had improved, but judging from the data of that year, nearly 20% of the children still died and could not grow up to adulthood; even then, the young children in Hailing Mansion
The number of premature deaths accounts for about 6% of newborns. It is no wonder that people at that time had a tradition of having many children.
"..." Liu Shidu said, "Due to the Lord's good governance, after excluding the migrating Ding households last year, Hailing Prefecture had an increase of more than 48,000 Ding households; but in the first year of Yongxing, this number was less than three
Wan. Earlier, from the Qingyu to Chongguan years, the number of Ding households in Hailing has been decreasing instead of increasing..."
Hailingfu is undoubtedly the place where, except for a few areas such as Chongju and Jeju, the New Deal has been implemented most thoroughly and for the longest time. It can be said that the power of the New Deal has been fully demonstrated.
Excluding the factors of mass migration, a high proportion of net increase in population is definitely the prelude to a prosperous age.
However, it is obvious that Liu Shidu has a different view on this.
"The net increase in the Hailing Mansion in one year is more than 48,000!" Lin Fu gritted his teeth and sucked in the cold air.
Traditionally, the net increase in Ding households has been regarded as one of the core achievements of local officials.
Population growth also has the most direct stimulus to local and central government income growth, which will also lead to an increase in national strength.
The actual situation is that the long-term war has brought about a sharp decline in population, making the land relatively abundant. Now and in the future, a large number of people will be needed to fill the sparsely populated areas in Jingxiang, Henan, and Guanzhong due to the war. Therefore, the Privy Council also intends to lower the marriage rate again.
childbearing age to stimulate population growth.
In the past, whenever great chaos was resolved and a new dynasty was established, a policy of recuperation and rest would be carried out, and young girls would even be forced to marry and have children at an early age to increase the fertility rate and stimulate population growth.
The pros and cons of anything are relative and there is a balance point.
The most intuitive understanding of the benefits of population increase is that more people are more powerful and more people are more powerful. However, the population increase is too fast and exceeds the growth rate of food production. When the production of food and other necessary materials for survival cannot meet the demand,
When the total population demand increases, it will induce a series of vicious disasters such as famine and war.
The population of Hailing Prefecture has a base of 1.6 million; after deducting the factors of population migration, from Qingyu to Chongguan years, the population of Hailing Prefecture did not increase but declined; and in the first year of Yongxing, there were 30,000 people
the net increase; by last year, the increase had risen to 48,000 people - and the township system of Hailingfu has been established, and the local statistical data can be said to be complete - this means that the population of Hailingfu is naturally
The growth rate has already risen to about 3%. If it is not controlled, it will continue to rise in the next three to five years.
As for the reason why Hailing Prefecture has experienced a high proportion of net population growth in recent years, Liu Shidu also made it very clear. Since the 10th year of Chongguan, many new government measures have been gradually implemented in Hailing Prefecture, which has made Hailing Prefecture's young children
The mortality rate has dropped sharply, as well as the mortality rate of adults from diseases and the death rate of childbearing women year by year.
Population growth is a plural growth. A natural growth rate of three percent may not seem large, but it only takes about twenty-three years to double the population from the base level, and it takes forty-six years to double the population from the base level.
Quadruple it——
Liu Shidu carefully observed Lin Fu's expression and speculated that he must have realized that rapid population growth was not necessarily a good thing, so he continued: "After Emperor Gaozu established the dynasty, he also carried out a policy of rest and recuperation in order to keep the population strong, but his government
Not as far away as the lord. According to the actual survey of Ding households in Hailing Prefecture, the population of Ding households has only doubled in the past two hundred years. According to the lord's government, private planning based on divisions, twenty-three years later, Ding's population has only doubled.
The population will double..."
The war has caused a sharp decrease in population, and there is relatively sufficient cultivated land, which has created relatively sufficient space for the recovery or increase of the population. However, if this space takes more than two hundred years to slowly fill up, at least in the early days of the dynasty, it will not be possible.
If it creates too big a problem, it will lead to great rule in the early decades or even nearly a hundred years of the dynasty due to the gradual increase in population and the orderly development of more land.
At present, the counties south of the Qinling Mountains and east of the Xiajiang River have a population of approximately 50 million. If the New Deal is fully implemented in the counties, the burden and survival pressure on the people will be reduced, health and medical conditions will be greatly improved, and the population will remain at 100 million.
A net increase of three-quarters would double the population to 100 million within 23 years.
If we say that after 23 years, the land south of the Qinling Mountains can still support a population of 100 million, but in the next 23 years, the population will double again, and the number of people living in the Qinling Mountains and south of the Huai River will reach 200 million——
Coupled with the natural increase in population in the north of the Qinling Mountains, as well as in Sichuan and Daxiguan, if the population growth rate of the new empire cannot be curbed, the total population of the new empire will be close to 400 million in 40 to 50 years. By then,
Can such a dense and huge population still be affordable with the existing cultivated land and crop yields?
Lin Fu looked up at Liu Shidu. Unexpectedly, he, who was born in the traditional imperial examination, would think of the problem of overpopulation before others. Why would Liu Shidu bypass Lin Mengde and go directly to him? He should appear with Lin Mengde in Haizhou Mansion.
There were exchanges on the population issue, but the issue of overpopulation was obviously a bit ahead of its time. It is not difficult to understand that Lin Mengde ignored it and even sneered at Liu Shidu's concerns.
Perhaps many people would be puzzled by Liu Shidu's concern over the high proportion of net population growth in Haizhou Prefecture, instead of being happy about it?
With the further development of Guangnan, Yizhou, Qiongzhou and other areas, with the continuous improvement of farmland water conservancy construction in other areas, with the continuous improvement of planting species and the use of more fertilizers, Lin Fu believes that Qinling Mountains and the south of the Huaihe River can be
It is not a problem for the region's total grain production to increase four or five times. As long as the grain is relatively sufficient and the population is surplus, it can be absorbed by the emerging industry and mining industry, which will once again stimulate the development of social productivity.
It’s just that the increase in total grain production is a long-term process. To double and then double grain production, it may take seventy or eighty years, hundreds of years, or even longer. And once the population increases in just forty or fifty years
If the growth rate doubles and then doubles, it is likely to exceed the total supply capacity of food production in the world, which becomes a huge hidden danger.
Liu Shidu could not be more optimistic about the prospects of increasing grain production than Lin Fu. If he realized the problem of overpopulation, he would have even stronger worries.
The new policy implemented by Lin Fu was supposed to unveil the rule of the prosperous age. It was normal for Liu Shidu not to like Lin Mengde and others when he talked about the hidden dangers of overpopulation. Liu Shidu did not write a special letter stating the matter, but
He wanted to make a special trip to see him alone, which showed that he was also prepared to reprimand Lin Fu, to fight in person, or to judge the depth of the matter by observing his words.
"It's a prosperous time for people to thrive, but Liu Gong is worried that the land can't bear it." Lin Fu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Liu Gong is worried about this, from now on."
Where do you think about it?"
"Before the eighth year of Chongguan, the country was in difficulty, but it could barely survive. In the winter of the ninth year of Chongguan, the Yanhu invaders and the chaos in Huaisi completely damaged the vitality of the country. Why did Huaisi become in chaos? How can we overcome these?
I have been thinking about it repeatedly over the years, and the results are not long ago. The first is that the refugees who poured into Huaisi were deceived by the brother-in-law of Mrs. Qiaoguo and rebelled; the second is that the local officials in Henan, Guanzhong and Yanjing were responsible for Chong Chong.
Looking at the severe drought that spread to more than 20 counties in 1989, the treatment was ineffective, or in other words, it was impossible to treat, causing the affected people to flee, impacting surrounding counties, and forming a refugee wave of millions. Third, the new agricultural science
Zheng Zheng believed that the severe drought that spread to Henan and Guanzhong in the eighth year of Chongguan and nine years was closely related to over-cultivation and the sharp decrease in forest land in these places. Shidu also believed that this should be the case. Fourth, over-cultivation and the sharp decrease in forest land.
It is directly related to overpopulation. Fifth, even if the land is over-cultivated, in the disaster-stricken areas of Henan and Guanzhong, the number of grain fields that can be cultivated by young people has been reduced by more than 50% in the past two hundred years, and private grain cultivation has
The decrease in the amount of food and the lack of changes in taxes have resulted in a significant reduction in the grain reserves of ordinary people and their ability to survive famines. The vast majority of people cannot withstand the disaster of two seasons of no harvests..." At this point, Liu Shidu lowered his head and swept it on his sleeves.
With two eyes, it was obvious that he had come prepared. He was afraid that his memory would be incomplete as he aged and his words would be disordered, so he deliberately wrote the key points on the inside of his sleeve.
Lin Fu took a look and saw that Liu Shidu's sleeves were densely written with words. He thought that he had already thought deeply about this and listened to him continue without interrupting.
"Sixth, land annexation has caused the disaster-stricken areas to have surplus grain, which is mostly concentrated in the hands of big landowners. The poor people are unable to buy surplus grain to tide over the famine, so they can only leave the disaster-stricken areas to tide over the famine years. Seventh,
The people affected by the disaster poured out and impacted surrounding prefectures and counties, forming a larger-scale refugee group of hundreds. Eighth, during the Chongguan period, although Jianghuai was a land of plenty, it was unable to accommodate millions of people due to population overflow.
The disaster-stricken refugees were planned to move south, and the refugees were stranded between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, unable to make a living. Eventually, others took advantage of them and turned into civil unrest. The Huaisi civil unrest was followed by the unrest with the bandits from the two lakes and the people building embankments on the Yellow River.
Taking advantage of each other, they swept through the Central Plains in just a few years, turning Jingxiang and Henan into ruins. The two lakes, two rivers, and the Jianghuai region were also greatly affected. The combination of these factors left Yanjing unable to do anything.
To calm down the Yanhu and She family bandits, so when Emperor Chongguan was entangled, he made a hasty plan and fell into Yanhu's trap..."
Lin Fushen thought that the development of new craftsmanship would naturally lead to the formation of a strict system of new learning. He did not expect that it was Liu Shidu who first formed new thinking based on many new policies and new craftsmanship. Lin Fu did not remember the overpopulation in later generations.
What is the specific content of the theory, but Liu Shidu's new theory on the relationship between population and war, and population and cultivated land obviously transcends the old era.
"What Mr. Liu said is quite new. There are many reasons and countermeasures. I asked Mr. Liu to write a special letter and send it to him. He can also call the government meeting and the Privy Council to discuss it." Lin Fu said.
Seeing Lin Fu's statement, there was no anger on his face. Liu Shidu felt relieved and said goodbye. Lin Fu asked Song Jia to bring the booklet "Speculation Technique" translated by Song Shixian himself from the study room and asked Liu Shidu to take it back.
After Liu Shidu left, Song Jia sat down according to the table. Lin Fu said with a smile: "This old man Liu clearly wrote a special letter, but he didn't take it out. He just asked him to make another trip tomorrow..."
"Generally speaking, Liu Gong's new comments are not likable. If you don't understand his heart, most people will think that he is using the matter to criticize the new policy," Song Jia said. "Liu Gong may be afraid that if he submits a special letter, there will be no possibility of change..."
Lin Fu smiled calmly. He knew that Liu Shidu was capable and his knowledge was first-class in the world, but he had been immersed in officialdom for a long time and it was difficult for him to have a cautious temperament.
When it comes to the problem of overpopulation, Lin Fu has not thought about it.
In the fourth year of Yongxing, taxes were reduced in Jianghuai prefectures and counties. Each household was only reduced by one ding tax, and the rest were levied. This time, the ding tax was divided into acres, and the remaining ding tax actually still existed as an additional tax. On the surface, it was not wanted all at once.
The annual revenue of the central government was reduced too much. In fact, Lin Fu had no intention of canceling the remaining tax from the beginning to the end.
The new tax policy will levy up to double the basic land tax on households with more than a certain number of acres of land. The purpose is to inhibit the gentry from annexing land for rent. The "residual tax" will be retained and will not be fully apportioned.
When a Ding enters a mu, a situation arises where households with multiple children have to bear an additional Ding tax. The actual purpose is to curb the current situation of people having too many children.
Although there are many pedantic and stubborn people in this world, the vision and knowledge of the great men and women who stand at the top of the current can actually transcend the limitations of history.
Lin Fu said to Song Jia: "Go and get my pamphlet with 'Chongmi' on the cover and Dingtian materials from the five counties of Chongzhou..."
"Ah!" Song Jia stared at Lin Fu for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Have you long realized that there are hidden worries behind such a large increase in the number of people?"
Lin Fu did not let Song Jia read some information, but many of Lin Fu's fantastic ideas could often be found in those thread-bound books. Song Jia once asked him why he kept it secret, and Lin Fu once joked about it
This is a heavenly book taught by an expert,
Lin Fu nodded.
These pamphlets were actually used by him to record his thoughts and thoughts, so it was no big deal. He did not ask Song Jia and others to read them because some of his views were too ahead of the times. If Song Jia and others were to read them, it would only increase their confusion.
As for the joke that it was a heavenly book, she was worried that Song Jia couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly read it, just to have an excuse.
"You have been aware of this hidden worry for a long time, but why didn't you mention it for a long time? Could it be that if Mr. Liu doesn't open this layer of paper, you will give up." Song Jia asked strangely.
Lin Fu smiled and asked Song Jia to bring a few notebooks from the wooden box and the information on Ding Tian from the five counties of Chongzhou.
After Liu Shidu left, Lin Fu asked her to bring the Chongzhou Dingtian materials and the "Heavenly Book" that Lin Fu always carried with him. He guessed that there was a specific reason.
"For the new empire, population will be the most important resource," Lin Fu sighed lightly, opened the note book and looked at the data he had recorded earlier, and said while reading, "However, too much population,
It will also make the land produce insufficient rice and grain, and mergers and acquisitions will be rampant. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Without a balance, natural disasters and disasters can cause disasters that will destroy the country. We must pay close attention to Chongzhou.
The number of Dingkou increased naturally, reaching 20,000 in the 11th year of Chongguan, and 40,000 in the first year of Yongxing. If it were not for the high death rate of soldiers who joined the army from Chongzhou in the later years, Yongxing Yuan
The number of Dingkou in Chongzhou will naturally increase after 2010, and it is likely that it will continue to rise. At this time, there are 1.2 million people in the five counties of Chongzhou, of which 280,000 are the additional increase after the 11th year of Chongguan.
That is to say, excluding factors such as migration, the natural population increase rate in the five counties of Chongzhou in recent years has been 30%..."
Song Jia looked through the information on Dingtian in Chongzhou and found that there was no detailed increase in the number of Dingkou before the first year of Yongxing as mentioned by Lin Fu. She knew for sure that Lin Fu had long been aware of the hidden worries about the sudden increase in population, but he did not announce it to others, nor did he.
I know that his booklet contains many secrets that others don't know.
When he woke up on the Weiyang ship, Lin Fu was confused for a while. Although he had many fleeting impressions and memories of later generations, they were not profound and could not be organized into a system.
For example, Lin Fu knew that smallpox was an extremely virulent contagious virus and that to prevent smallpox, he needed to "vaccination", but in fact he only knew the term "vaccination" and what exactly "vaccination" meant.
There is no impression at all - just like most ordinary people know that gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of ancient times, but among ten ordinary people, not more than half may know "monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal".
Before he woke up on the ship, Lin Fu was just an ordinary person, with a fleeting glimpse of later generations, lodged in the body of a scholar from a strange era.
In the long years that followed, Lin Fu adapted to this era, while organizing the fleeting memories of later generations and striving to form a system. At the same time, he also studied the miscellaneous craftsmanship of the day very carefully, hoping that the two could have a better harmony.
, can be beneficial to the leapfrog development of this era.
To say that Prison Island is just Lin Fu's experimental site, Chongzhou is the first city that Lin Fu has worked hard to manage. The various changes in Chongzhou have affected Chongzhou's land, population, customs, breeding, epidemics and other aspects.
The research is actually carried out over the past few years of Lin Fu's career.
Don't forget that Lin Fu successively appointed Wu Meijiu, Li Shuyi, Chen Lei and others to govern Chongzhou, but his familiarity and profound understanding of Chongzhou, including Wu Meijiu, Li Shuyi, Chen Lei and others, were far inferior to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu has been studying the population and life expectancy of Chongzhou for a long time. In the early days, he was also shocked by the high mortality rate of infants, young children and teenagers before Chongzhou.
Before Lin Fu officially implemented the New Deal, excluding the factors of war and large-scale severe epidemics, the infant mortality rate in Chongzhou exceeded 20% in a normal year, and men usually only had a 50% chance of surviving to the age of crowning; it was also the case for infants
, the high mortality rate of young children and teenagers makes the average life span of Chongzhou people only 35 years old. On the contrary, many people survive into adulthood and survive into their 60s or 70s.
There are many factors leading to the high mortality rate in today's world. Malnutrition, poor sanitation conditions, poor living habits, weak immunity and poor medical conditions, as well as the large number of children in the world and insufficient care for young children, are all important factors for the high mortality rate.
In the tenth year of Chongguan, the Donghai bandits attacked Chongzhou City and massacred all the gentry and civilian households in the city. As a result, Lin Fu was able to completely control Chongzhou and took the lead in implementing various new policies in Chongzhou without resistance.
Lin Fu implemented the New Deal, including the construction of Chongzhou New City. Even if there were no conditions to realize a modern urban system, the planning and design were basically based on modern industrial and commercial cities. Once the New Deal was implemented, it did not even deliberately pay attention to the high mortality rate.
As if a miracle had happened, the rate of takaya breakage dropped immediately.
Due to the huge number of immigrants in the early days, the Dingtian data of Chongzhou County Government was not as detailed as Lin Fu's private transcription and analysis. It was almost the third year of Yongxing, when Li Shuyi, Lin Mengde and other talents paid attention to the increase of Dingkou.
It is listed separately in the Dingtian Fish Scale Register of the five counties of Chongzhou - these data were not even accessible to Liu Shidu five years ago in Yongxing - but Lin Mengde and others regarded it as a powerful effect of the New Deal.
Even Song Jia, who prides himself on being talented and thoughtful, failed to see the hidden worries of overpopulation behind the high net population growth. In fact, the rapid increase in population in Chongzhou in recent years would be called Chongzhou's emerging weaving and dyeing, shipbuilding, and ironmaking industries.
And HNA and other industries can accommodate it. In fact, even if Chongzhou can be developed and reclaimed millions of acres of wasteland, it will be completely consumed by the extra population in the blink of an eye...
If the new empire wants to finally lay its foundation, it cannot do without the advantage of population. At the same time, a dense population can ensure that emerging industries obtain enough surplus labor and a large enough sales market——
There is a good thing about having a large population, but once the population is overpopulated and resources are consumed too much, the disadvantages of intensifying the cycle of domestic conflicts will be increasingly exposed.
Of course, in Lin Fu's view, as long as the Nanyang route continues to extend westward and finds a new continent with extremely sparse population density, the excess population can be alleviated through large-scale immigration——
As for the present, Lin Fu is not afraid of excessive population growth. His policy of penetrating colonial merchants in Haidong and Southeast Asia also requires the export of a large amount of surplus population.
Lin Fu also suppressed the hidden worries of overpopulation out of various complicated and even contradictory considerations and trade-offs.
Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced by Liu Shidu, Lin Fu will naturally not suppress it by force, but will do some work to pave the way for future population control.
Song Jia looked through Ding Tian's information, stared at Lin Fu, and asked doubtfully: "The data you know should be recorded in the fish scale book. Even if there are occasional mistakes, it should also be included in other official documents - except for military information."
You have no other eyes and ears besides the Department of Internal Health and the Department of Prefecture, County and Township. How did you calculate the increase in population in Chongzhou before the second year of Yongxing?"
"It is said that the secrets cannot be leaked," Lin Fu proudly raised the note book in his hand, and explained to Song Jia with a smile, "Of course you can't tell the secrets just by looking at the Dingtian fish scale book. The junior high school in Chongzhou
The public school took shape as early as the 11th year of Chongguan. However, there was a tradition of abandoning dead babies in the wild in Chongzhou. I also set up a children's grave in the 11th year of Chongguan to forcefully collect the remains of minors. This kind of data has been collected several times.
By comparison, it is not difficult to conclude that the number of people in Chongzhou increased before the second year of Yongxing, and there was no need to rely on the people below for everything. It seems that I have no thoughts..."
"Being an errand under you is really hard life. I can't fool you even if I want to." Song Jia said with emotion.
"Chongzhou is my foundation, why don't I pay extra attention to it?" Lin Fu said, "As for other prefectures and counties, do I even have so much energy to take care of them?"
It is said that Chongzhou is the foundation place, not because Lin Fu laid the foundation of Huaidong there.
It is because the high mortality rate in Chongzhou has dropped sharply since the tenth year of Chongguan. Almost 150,000 children in Chongzhou were able to survive because of this factor. At the same time, Chongzhou’s public school system was the earliest to develop.
There are 367 elementary public schools, almost reaching the density of one elementary public school in every 35 villages; and there are 56 higher public schools, which are equivalent to junior and senior high schools in later generations, including medicine, administration, agriculture, etc.
There are a total of eleven new schools of government, shipping, and other new schools.
The entire public school system in Chongzhou has a total of nearly 190,000 students, with adults reaching the age of 30 and teenagers as young as six or seven years old. Seventy percent of them are children from Chongzhou. The enrollment rate of children from Chongzhou has also suddenly increased in recent years.
Increased to 40%.
In comparison, the development of public schools in Jiangning and Mingzhou is much slower. There is not much resource investment at the moment, and there is no rush.
In the Chongzhou public school system, there are more than 20,000 young children from Chongzhou, especially those who have been fully educated by the New School for six or seven years and have been deeply affected by the New Deal. This group of people has either already been, or will gradually be able to do so in the next two or three years.
They were arranged to work in emerging industries, military camps, Haidong and Nanyang, or in prefectures, counties, townships, and government agencies.
Led by Chen Enze, Hu Qiaozhong, Hu Qiaoguan, Luo Yicheng, Tang Xitai and other Chongzhou boys, the earliest group of Chongzhou children who followed Lin Fu numbered more than a thousand, and most of them have become the backbone of young people in the military, political, commercial and industrial fields; now with
In many matters involved in the New Deal, children from Chongzhou can be seen anytime and anywhere. As a larger number of children from Chongzhou are trained from the earliest and perfect Chongzhou Public School system, the current development of the New Deal will be alleviated to the greatest extent.
The problem of insufficient human resources at the time.
Obviously, the children from Chongzhou, including a large number of general children who were naturalized in Chongzhou, were loyal and supportive to Lin Fu in a way that children from other places could not match. They filled a large number of manpower vacancies in the New Deal, like a network woven throughout the southern governments.
Counties and various businesses ensure that there will be no major unexpected factors during the period from public administration to the actual creation of the new empire.
Lin Fu is now asking Chongzhou children to work in a place and be mentally prepared to take root here. In Haizhou City, the frequency of use of Chongzhou dialect is even higher than that of Jiangning Mandarin, while Haizhou dialect
