Chapter 141 Ye Xuan: Want Population Growth? Then We Need To Encourage Childbirth!
Chapter 141 Ye Xuan: If you want the population to grow? Then you have to encourage childbirth!
This time, Dao Yan was really convinced.
colonial ruling.
Practice slavery.
It is indeed easy to manage those foreign people.
but.
Problems also arise.
Daoxing stroked his beard and asked Ye Xuan for advice.
"If we engage in slave trade and sell foreigners in the territory, what will happen if the vassal country does not have enough population?"
The purpose of Huaxia's territory expansion is to gain material benefits such as population and land.
carry out colonial rule.
The land is theirs for the time being.
But the population...
By selling the aliens in the colonies as slaves and losing their population, they would not be able to reap the benefits of their population. In ancient times, population was also an important resource.
If you raise troops to fight.
Strong men will be needed.
These strong men come from the territory.
As Ye Xuan said, the colonial people were sold as slaves.
In this way, the actual benefits of population will be gone. When you want to raise troops to fight, it will be difficult to recruit troops from the colonies, and the people in the colonies can only be used as cannon fodder.
There are pros and cons.
Ye Xuan said four words.
"Encourage fertility."
“Encourage procreation?”
Dao Yan was puzzled.
Ye Xuan explained:
“Proposing policies to encourage childbearing17.”
"This can solve the population problem of the feudal state."
"How to do it?"
Dao Yan's brows furrowed deeper.
"Propose policies to encourage childbirth."
“One is to use legislation to directly reward or punish.
“Another way is to carry out macro-control through institutions.”
"There are examples of this in previous dynasties."
"Like the Spring and Autumn Period."
“Slavery was practiced among the nations at that time.”
“The area of cultivated land and the amount of labor force directly affect the strength of the country.
"So, during the Spring and Autumn Period, people and land were often plundered from outside."
"But because there are constant wars."
"The labor force, which is dominated by young and middle-aged men, has suffered a massive loss."
"The former Yue King Gou Jian encouraged fertility policies in the form of legislation."
"A strong man should not take an old woman, and an old man should not take a strong wife. If a woman does not marry at seventeen, her parents will be guilty; if a husband does not marry at twenty, his parents will be guilty.
Those who are about to be spared should be informed and doctors should be ordered to guard them. To give birth to a husband, two pots of wine and one dog; to give birth to a woman, two pots of wine and one dolphin. If three people are born, the male and his mother will be born; if two children are born, the male will be with him. "
"Among them, people are encouraged to get married and have children early."
"The more babies you have."
"The imperial court will subsidize more livestock, grain, wine and meat."
"Any family that gives birth to a boy will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a dog.
"Any family that gives birth to a girl will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a piglet."
"In addition, when giving birth, the court also sends doctors to help and take care of safety."
"If there are too many babies."
"The imperial court provides money to support him."
"A subsidy will be provided for the birth of two children."
"If you give birth to three, the court will help raise one."
"In addition, it is also stipulated that when men and women reach the age of marriage, men are twenty and women are seventeen. If they do not marry, their parents will be punished.
"At the same time, marriage between men and women with a large age gap is prohibited."
"It is forbidden for young men to marry older women."
"It is forbidden for an old man to marry a young woman."
"This ensures that fertility rates are not affected."
"In addition to Vietnam, other countries also have similar policies."
"It's the Warring States Period."
“Countries carry out macro-control through systems.
“During the Qin Xiaogong period, Shang Yang’s reform made clear the national policy of ‘taking agriculture as the basis’. "
“Civilians are generously rewarded for paying food and other supplies to the state.
"And confer a knighthood."
"This indirectly increases the motivation for civilians to have more children."
“This is macro-control through the system.
"Western Han Dynasty."
"The Han Dynasty proposed the policy of reforming the people and recuperating."
"Because the population was skewed at that time."
“So social norms are particularly lenient towards widowed and divorced women.”
"The royal family also accepts women with interests to marry royal members."
"in addition."
""Book of Han·Huidi Ji" records:"
"If a woman is between fifteen and thirty years old, she will not marry. It is a five-year rule."
"Five calculations, that is, the head tax is calculated five times."
“The Han Dynasty adopted this policy to allow women to marry.
"After all, five times the poll tax is a huge burden on ordinary families, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it."
"Other dynasties had similar policies."
"It is recorded in "The Book of Jin: The Third Chronicle of the Emperor":"
"In the tenth month of winter, at the end of Xinsi, if the girl is seventeen years old and her parents do not want to marry her, she will be married to Changdong."
"It means that if a woman is not married at the age of seventeen, the court will force her to have a husband.
"Except by force."
"Each North Korea will also strengthen policy propaganda."
"In "Quan Tang Wen", there is a record of Emperor Taizong of Tang's marriage proposal."
""Ling Yousi Encourages Folks to Marry".
"In this article, young people of appropriate age are advised to get married early."
"Young people who are widowed or divorced should also choose a spouse to add more children to the country."
"For families in need, the local government will provide subsidies to help them get married."
"Whether it's enforcement or incentives."
"It is better to carry out macro-control through the system."
"This has greatly promoted people's fertility."
"but."
"The economic foundation determines people's lifestyle."
“Only a stable and relatively favorable social environment can determine population growth.
"in short."
“It is to allow the people to have food, constant production, security and a future.
"Only can we promote population development."
"This is the most critical and important thing."
After talking a lot, Ye Xuan stopped, took a sip of tea to relieve the thirst in his mouth, and then looked up at Dao Yan, who was looking down at him with a pensive face.
"People of other races cannot be trusted."
"Non-my family, its heart must be different."
"It will take at least decades, or even hundreds of years, to educate and assimilate them.
"It's better to just enslave them."
"Moreover, what the emperor encourages is colonial policy."
"I will definitely not agree to move the people of Ming Dynasty there."
"Therefore, we can only propose policies to encourage childbirth, or carry out macro-control through the system, to promote people's childbirth and increase the population of the vassal state."
"call!"
Dao Xing let out a heavy breath.
He didn't expect that if he wanted to increase the population of 447, there would be so much knowledge in it.
Although he also thought of some points.
But not so detailed.
However, Ye Xuan informed him of all the policies to encourage childbirth in the past dynasties and asked him to learn from history and learn how to promote people's fertility and increase the population.
today.
He really learned a lesson.
It seems that he must read history thoroughly.
Learn more about this.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for the tip."
Daoxing stood up and thanked the staff in his hand.
Ye Xuan waved his hand.
"No need."
"These are the policies of various dynasties in history. In fact, I don't need to tell you. If you want to look up the content in this area, you can definitely find it easily.
What I am telling you now is just to save you some time. "
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Dao Xing's mouth.
Ye Xuan thinks too highly of him.
If you want to investigate such detailed information, it will take at least a lot of time and energy, and it is not as easy as Ye Xuan said.
So no matter what, he had to thank Ye Xuan for helping him with such detailed suggestions.
The two sides chatted for some time.
Daoxing then bid farewell to Ye Xuan.
Dao Yan gained a lot from this visit.
Although Dao had already had an idea in mind regarding some of the plans for the vassal state.
Dao Xing can handle it well without Ye Xuan's guidance.
However, Ye Xuan's courage and strategic vision really put Daoyan at a disadvantage.
No wonder the emperor and the prince valued Ye Xuan so much.
This guy is definitely no ordinary person!
