Chapter 602: : The difficulty of governing a country

The population growth of a country is related to many aspects. It is not simply that the country encourages more children, so that the country’s population can increase.

First of all, there must be enough men and women of the right age. A couple can give birth to one person in about two years. One million couples can increase the country by one million babies, but this million babies will not be accurate data. Hygienic conditions and delivery conditions must be considered, and even the health of the mother must be taken into consideration.

Until modern times, mothers who naturally give birth to babies are very dangerous, and there is no rare occurrence of mothers who die in childbirth, let alone in the year 348?

The mother and child are safe during the birth process, and how to raise the child is another problem. In the age of inadequate medical conditions, adults will have no life after a cold, and babies with weaker resistance will be at high risk as long as they get sick.

"...To increase the population, the big man needs to do too much preparation." Ji Chang was embarrassed. He didn't dare to say to Liu Yan that he couldn't do it. He could only talk about the difficulties: "First of all, it is food. There must be enough food to dare to have more children."

Liu Yan nodded, of course he knew this.

"Women are also labor. The common people have no qualifications for women who are pregnant or not to participate in labor. Even if they are close to giving birth, they should still work." Ji Chang was not from a family, but he was a local citizen in his early years. Very clear: "But working during pregnancy... a lot of accidents happen."

To be honest, Liu Yan also farmed at home when he was young, and his mother worked when she was pregnant with him, and she did nothing less than picking and harvesting rice. Of course, she knew what was going on in common people's homes.

Modern medicine recommends that pregnant women exercise more, saying that more exercise helps to give birth naturally, but exercise and work are two concepts. The doctor’s recommended exercise is to walk more, but to work is to carry heavy objects and some More intense things.

For the people nowadays, don’t expect to be pregnant to avoid participating in childbirth. That is a blessing that can only be enjoyed by the young grandmothers of powerful, aristocratic families, and officials. Therefore, the emergence of large-scale pregnant women in society is definitely a big or a small one. matter.

Liu Yan thought of something and asked suddenly: "How is the research on growing beans?"

Just like many modern people, Liu Yan comes into contact with too much information consciously or unconsciously. Knowing that is one thing, and how to do it is another. It’s like using a mobile phone but not knowing how to make a mobile phone. The truth is the same.

The so-called planting beans, in fact, is to study the use of cow pox to get a vaccine. Liu Yan doesn’t have the ability to do it himself. He probably writes a charter when he knows it. How to get the results is the business of the people below. .

"Many prisoners of war died..." Ji Chang was actually full of suspicion. He couldn't understand how vaccinia inoculated to a person's arm could prevent smallpox from being infected: "But it has already begun."

Vaccinia? In fact, it started with human vaccinia, which was vaccination from some people who got smallpox. It was first studied in the 16th century in the 1st dynasty. It was not until the end of the 18th century that a British doctor named Jenner developed the vaccinia. It was until 1979 that the World Health Organization solemnly declared that "smallpox was extinct on the earth", which was another great contribution made by the people of the Tianyi Dynasty to the world in addition to the four great inventions and rice hybridization. (But in fact, no one is grateful to the people of Tianyi Dynasty, and thanks also to the foreign devils)

To advance in medicine, clinical trials are absolutely indispensable. Medicine began to enter the peak period of research. It was during the Second World War. Germans first conducted various experiments on prisoners of war (mostly Jews). Japanese people also conducted various experiments with people from all over the world (731), even in various countries. All kinds of experiments were carried out, and the Yankee used his own soldiers to do the experiment and had a big accident.

The Han country wants to improve medical methods. Of course, various tests that are reliable or unreliable require living bodies. Taking foreign prisoners as test subjects is better than using their own robes to perform surgery.

Eating the weak and eating the weak is the truth. There is only a stand but no right or wrong. There are no human rights organizations. The Han country can even do large-scale murders. Other things will not be taken seriously at all. It really complies with the phrase "My hero," "He’s the enemy".

Liu Yan was stunned immediately, and asked angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Ji Chang quickly pleaded guilty, and then looked for a new topic.

Smallpox is actually the plague. In history, the outbreak of plagues can always cause a large-scale population decline. The first nation to create a “biochemical virus” of plague was the Huns. They used this self-mutilation method to prevent the plague after losing streak. For a period of time, the counties of northern Xinjiang in the Western Han Dynasty suffered a lot from the pursuit of the Han army, and even the Han army who expedition to the grassland suffered heavy losses.

In addition to the Xiongnu, the most thorough use of the "biochemical virus" was the Mongol Empire during the Temujin period. The Mongolian army would inevitably collect corpses and throw them into the city when encountering a siege, and used the primitive "biochemical offensive" to take down the world. The largest empire on the territory. They were able to kill at least 200 million people in the Cold Weapon Era, and the biggest method of killing was to create a plague, which was truly unprecedented.

"...It must be for the people to have land to raise children." Ji Chang just talked about how to encourage childbirth. One suggestion is to reward land. He said with a serious face: "The big man is constantly expanding. There are too many places. However, there are no people to settle down. This expansion is only to increase the area of ​​the picture album, and there is no real benefit to the country."

The territory of Han is increasing every moment, but the population distribution is mostly concentrated in the abdomen. Among them, Qingzhou, which was captured the earliest, is the most densely populated. The second most populous state is Yangzhou, which was recently captured. The third is Yuzhou has the least population among the remaining Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Shuozhou, Jiangzhou, and Guangzhou.

According to the statistics of the census data, Qingzhou alone accounted for more than 4 million. That is an effect of Liu Yan's early use of Qingzhou as the basic disk. Waiting for the relocation of the center to Xiangguo has driven some population movements. But the population diversion to Qingzhou is actually very limited.

There was a city in Yangzhou called Jiankang. During the period of Jiankang as the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the population exceeded 1.7 million. If history has not changed, the highest peak has a population of 2.3 million.

Yangzhou is a Jiankang city alone, with 1.7 million people. As a nation’s capital, the development around it is certainly not bad. The density of counties and counties far exceeds that of previous dynasties. The population of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty is almost squeezed in one state. The rest The more south and southwest the state and county, the more extensive the land and the sparsely populated.

Hearing the phrase "Yu Guo has no practical interest" made Liu Yan's cheek twitch a few times, but he had nothing to refute.

The territory of each dynasty was large and small. The more the center of the empire, the greater the population, and the more the frontier, the more sparsely populated the area. This has not changed even in modern times, and even the population of a certain modern metropolis can top some remote provinces (states).

The current era is a bit special. The Central Plains has been ruled by the Hu people for decades. The Hu people have implemented a policy of reducing the number of Han people for a long time, so that the core area of ​​the Central Plains is no longer a densely populated stage.

For example, during the reigns of Shihu and Shile, apart from the settlement population of Xiang Country (including the surrounding areas) exceeding 3 million, the population distribution in various places is actually very abnormal. The most exaggerated thing is that even a single figure is invisible in a certain area.

In addition to Shi Jie Zhao Kingdom, there were similar situations including the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The most densely populated small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Yangzhou, and the least populated was Jiaozhi. After the Han state took over the rule of Jiaozhi, excluding the Han descent from the garrison statistics, only 211 people were pitiful.

"Then come up with an effective and enforceable policy." Liu Yan agreed with the policy of giving land rewards to having children, and was also worried about the abnormal population distribution: "The center often encourages people to migrate, but the effect is..."

Ji Chang did not conceal his expression of overjoy. He had begun to think that the military of the Han country needed to be suppressed. Direct suppression is naturally not a good way, but it can start from the land first, at least first to break the restrictions on the land that cannot be obtained by the military.

"The minister must be close to what he can..." Ji Chang paused, intentionally or unconsciously said: "The king intends to let the veterans settle in place, which is a good way."

"Even so, how many people can be arranged?" Liu Yan is very clear about Ji Chang's careful thoughts, but he does not intend to stop him at all. He is the ruler of the entire country, not the spokesperson of the military alone. The balance between the two sides is for King's Way: "The prime minister should know that the source of veterans is far from enough!"

The prince of a country began to think about balance, which is a good phenomenon for Ji Chang, but he did not expect Liu Yan to suppress the military to an imperfect level. He did not even think that one day the status of civil servants could surpass that of generals. Because it is clear that Liu Yan is a king who will never stop his land ambitions.

"The capital given to the people to support their families is not limited to the one-mu three-cent field." Liu Yan has never focused on agricultural production. He said in a serious tone: "We have engaged in collective farms, except for farm work. There is also manual production, and the prime minister should pay equal attention to them and not be careless."

Ji Chang understood Liu Yan's meaning very thoroughly, that is, pay equal attention to agriculture and industry, not only pay attention to agricultural production, but also not forget industrial development, and even perceive the encouragement of business.

"Shang Wang, Yuan Shuo four years... The big man is short of food to the point where he needs to apply..." Ji Chang was cautious when he said this, he even swallowed, observing Liu Yan's face before continuing. : "The country's first priority is food. Without food, people's minds are unstable, which is likely to cause social turmoil. It is even more important to the king's hope for population growth."

Liu Yan's face is twitching again. He knows a lot of things. How to govern a country is completely a novice. At least it is not like some princes or aristocratic children who have been cultivated since childhood. It is clear that there cannot be too many things. Take it for granted.

Grain is of course the most important resource of a country. All development is based on the premise that there is enough food. It would be unrealistic to talk about industry and the like before that, and even suppress everything that can affect agricultural production. Matters specifically to increase the labor force involved in agricultural production.

"...The army is conquering Linyi and Funan. It has repeatedly seized large quantities of grain and transported it back to Dahan's homeland by sea, but..." Ji Chang said that today, despite Liu Yan's ugly face, he continued: "If you think it is simple Relying on looting can maintain the country's food needs, and the big man is in danger."

Han's looting of grain from the southwest was within one or two years. In addition to farming, there was a period of time earlier when grain was obtained from the sea and looted livestock from the Hu people.

Regardless of Liu Yan, he has restored the old land of the Han family, but there are not many prefectures and counties that have re-developed agriculture. Qingzhou has recovered the best, and Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou are also good after they settle down. , But Yanzhou is mountainous and basically does not produce much, and Yuzhou, which is relatively south, has relatively considerable grain output.

Liu Yan quickly reacted. He knew where Ji Chang’s "daring" came from today. It was the continuation of Shi Jie and Zhao Guo could easily be destroyed. The Tuoba dynasty could not become a country, and Zhang's Liang Guo could not be a trouble, Murong Yan The country is about to be conquered. All signs indicate that there are fewer and fewer enemy countries that the Han army can conquer. Civil officials want to draw the country's focus to internal affairs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"The big Han has a lot of arable land, but there are really no people in those places. The grassland is not a place where there is no production. You can graze and maintain the needs of the army horse. The cow can be used for production and eat its meat, and the sheep can weave and eat. Its meat..." Ji Chang said sincerely: "A hundred waste is waiting for you, King!"

Liu Yan smiled, not a negative smile.

At present, the distinction between civil and military is not that big. There is no actual distinction between civil and military groups. It belongs to the kind of beautiful age in which a horse can be used as a general and a horse can be governed by government. Tumbling.

Liu Yan laughed because he was happy to know that the country finally did not regard the grassland as a burden. He knew how to use the grassland from the textile, dairy industry, and meat industry. Then the grassland would no longer be lost to the country. place.

The Central Plains dynasty has always been threatened in the north. Many dynasties are not incapable of attacking the grasslands. They really don’t know how to use the grasslands after they are laid down. The result is that they don’t cherish them after they are laid down. After an alien race is destroyed, another will be produced. The alien races encounter the invasion and destruction from the grassland again and again.

"The minister heard that there are other kingdoms to the west of the Western Regions. The Wusun of the pre-Han Dynasty was healthy, and the remnants of the Dayue clan had a kingdom, and the Sasang kingdom (the Sassanian dynasty) of the descendants of rest. There is a sea farther away. The Great Qin Inner Sea, the Great Qin is not a pre-Qin, but a thousand-year empire..." Ji Chang didn’t know where he got the news. He talked about it for a long time, and some of them hadn’t even heard of Liu Yan. Then the conversation changed: "Chen Convinced that the king said that the world is far greater than the "world" that the sages of the past dynasties said. The king has the ambition to make the sun shine all in the Han soil, but the internal affairs are not ruled, so why does it mean that soldiers will come forward?"
