Chapter 1025: The World Is Yellowed
What will the world look like in the future? Lu Qian had pondered this matter more than once.
After suppressing the Celestials and Europeans, can the Chinese rule the earth forever?
Or will there be a new 'war of independence' between the latter and the empire itself when the Americas are greatly developed? Even after gaining a foothold in Europe, will the Lu Qi vassal state still be respectful to the Central Plains after a few hundred years? Lu Qian felt that the War of Independence was inevitable, and it was impossible for Bi Gong to last for countless years after all.
The genes hidden in the bones of the Chinese determine their fate, and when the vassal states straighten their waists, it is hard to believe that they will obey the Central Plains, but fortunately, Lu Qian himself died at that time I don't know how many years.
Time is invincible, and the friendship and blood ties between countries are diluted, so can there really be loyalty?
As for other 'regional civilizations', such as Tianzhu, Tianfang, and Yishen, he doesn't think the latter can still have room for 'resurrection'. Heaven and one god are destined to become a 'regional' belief in the world in hundreds of years, and the carrier of the two can only be regional civilizations.
It's like Tianzhu in the 21st century.
The only people who can break Lu Qi's monopoly and world hegemony are China's own people.
But this will be a very slow evolutionary process, just like the Zongzhou in the past. Looking at the current Americas and Europe, it will really take a long, long time for Lu Qi's vassal states and colonies to accumulate enough strength to challenge the empire.
The specific timetable will probably be linked to the reproduction of the Chinese population. It depends on when the Chinese can dye the whole world yellow!
And what is the population of Luqi today? Speaking only of the population of the traditional Central Plains, 100 million is only a lot more, and with the population of the southwest, northeast, northeast, and northwest, 130 million is also a small amount.
And if you count the Han people from Goryeo, Japan, Cochin and Nanyang countries, it is not much worse than 150 million.
Under the rule of Zhao and Song, the people of the world multiplied and there were a number of men, such as the head of the Yang family of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion in the script, which could only belong to the big family. In ordinary households, it is very rare to have three men. Look at the three heroes of the Ruan family, what did the brothers foresee Lu Qian becoming poor before? The high poll tax is a powerful tool to stifle population growth.
But now?
When eating, drinking, and clothing are not a problem at all, having more children and more blessings will become an inevitable choice for the people of the world.
Qilu, which was the first stable of the Lu dynasty, has only been thirty years before and after, two generations and insufficient, the population of the entire world has increased by more than half, who can underestimate the reproductive ability of the Chinese?
Corn has yet to be cultivated, but sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops have been quite popular in China. Of course, not many people in the current Lu Qi Dynasty live on sweet potatoes and potatoes every day, but such a high-yield grain crop is a great guarantee for the foundation of the empire.
Looking at the Ming and Qing dynasties in history, the population at the peak of the Ming Dynasty was 1.5/600 million people. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, social turmoil, China's population declined rapidly, and it can be said that it fell to the bottom during the Shunzhi period. But later, after the "prosperous Kangqian era" of eating chaff and drinking thin, the population growth of the Qing Dynasty showed a slanted rise. According to statistics in later generations, at the end of the Kangxi Dynasty, the population of the Qing Dynasty was about 80 million. By the Yongzheng Dynasty, because of the abolition of the poll tax, the Chinese population had skyrocketed to 120 million; in the middle of Qianlong, the Chinese population exceeded 200 million for the first time; and by the end of Qianlong, before the Great White Lotus Uprising, the Chinese population exceeded 300 million for the first time.
From the end of Kang Mazi to the end of the ruined family, in less than a hundred years, the population has skyrocketed nearly three times! This kind of geometric growth has never occurred in the history of the Chinese population for thousands of years, and even in the history of the world's population.
What is the reason? The effect of abolishing the poll tax must be faced, but the high-yielding coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are also crucial!
Now Lu Qi has also abolished the poll tax, which was not done at the beginning of Lu Qi's establishment, but in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the poll tax that had been floating over China for more than a thousand years was completely gone.
And even if the poll tax is not abolished, the poll tax of the Lu Qi Dynasty is not heavy, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the income of the people. How much of an obstacle does this have on the reproduction and growth of the population?
Speaking of which, none of them are as deterrent as the earlier immigration authorities. However, because of the earlier drowning restart incident, while some big names such as Li Guang and Zhang Xiaochun were deflated, the specific regulations of the latter have also undergone new changes.
This is not to say that all minors are excluded from the statistics, but there is a restriction that after each household has four minor children, the poverty income will increase in a corresponding proportion.
This is not Emperor Lu's fraternity and benevolence, he is worried that the next generation of the empire will live in a relatively poor environment and will not get good development, after all, in his previous life, among the older generation in his hometown, there are not a few brothers and sisters, seven, seven, or eight. Even if the parents earn a lot, so many mouths to eat and drink, it will definitely affect the standard of living. Some people drop out of school after only two years of study, and some have no chance to study at all......
Lu Qian: Is he doing this purely to stimulate people? Forcing you to keep up with the money! However, facts have shown that this can greatly stimulate the people's enthusiasm for labor and wealth creation.
Earlier, there were many underage apprentices in the workshops and factories in the Central Plains, and in the case that education could not be popularized at all, there would definitely be some half-grown children in various families who were not serious. Rather than letting them wander around, it is better to send them into the factory to experience the cruelty of the adult world one step earlier.
And to ask parents why they want to send their children to the factory, it is a very simple thing, as long as they are not big-hearted parents, they will definitely worry about what happens when their children grow up. Don't send people to places where they can make money, blindly persuade them at home, and wait until they are adults to be on the statistical list, but they will drag the whole family back. No one was relocated thousands of miles away for a reason to eat and drink, wasn't it?
Skip that topic and turn your attention to the population.
Lu Qian didn't break the gourd and smash the scoop, which greatly damaged the vitality of the whole world. Zhao Song's foundation was taken down by him almost without breaking his bones. In this way, on the basis of retaining the family background of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Lu Qi Dynasty, which developed more rapidly and superiorly than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at the end of this century, even if the population could not reach 300 million like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, it would not be reasonable to be a lot less.
Conquered a large area of land, and in the next few decades, I don't know how many people will be accommodated. It's also population, isn't it?
And when China's population reaches 300 million, will the whole world [Eurasia] belong to China?
You know, the current HRE is only 8 million, Byzantium 10 million, France 5 million may be less, and then counting Spain, Portugal, Italy, Spain, as well as Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, the overall number is about 40 million. As for the heavenly side, before the war, the Seljuks and Fatimids were only a little more than 20 million tied together......
So, you don't have to divide you, me, and me, everyone is a little brother tied together.
Because according to the ruling model of Lu Qi's conquest of the world, it is really difficult for the white race to explode in half a century. For the next half century, nothing but endless wars awaited them.
War, war, war.
Add to that the dark reign of monotheism......
In this way, by the next century, the entire Eurasian continent, except for India, which is difficult to dye yellow, will not be a problem. Then, the whole world will not be a problem.
