Yang Yuanzhao came from later generations, very well aware of the importance of people, not to mention that the labor force represents the most basic unit of a country's manufacturing industry, let's just say that the country is strong, a country without population, there is no future, after the rise of the industrial revolution, the country that has gone to the top of the world, only Britain has the smallest population, but if you count the Commonwealth, colonies, Britain's population is also extraordinarily large, it is because of national liberation, federal separation, Britain can not catch up with the footsteps of the superpower, It became a relatively embarrassing country in Europe in later generations.

Population and land area, this is one and the same thing, but also from the very beginning, Yang Yuanzhao valued the place, his will directly affect the will of the entire Chinese government, population is always in the first place in the Chinese government, the rise of the northwest, the miracle of Baotou, are inseparable from China's huge population, before these people just do the most primary, the most ordinary labor, this labor has created a huge and brilliant civilization of the Chinese nation, now, with the industrial upgrading of Baotou, With the completion of China's industrialization process, and even to a certain extent, China's productivity level has surpassed that of all the industrial countries in the world. How much will China do to China with these highly educated people who know what is going on abroad, and some of them are even important members of industrial production, and China must get them, and they will contribute to China's development again.

China currently has a large population, under the attention from top to bottom, Southeast Asia, China itself. After the consolidation of the population, China's total population is now rising. Among them, there are 520 million people in China. The reason why there will be more than 70 million, on the one hand, from Southeast Asia, from abroad to return back about 10 million, among these people there are only a small number of Chinese, the rest, some may be abnormal natives, or the ethnic group formed by Chinese and local natives, and only a huge population base in China. To be able to dilute these people, in China, they are not even a larger minority, and as long as there are a few generations, they will not be much different from the people of their own country.

Relying on forced integration and an increase in immigration, after all, it was a minority, and the other, from 1908 to 1915, was accompanied by a decree of peace. The investment in medical care, the housing project, the food and clothing project, and the abnormal mortality rate have been greatly reduced, which is very considerable. In later generations, before liberation, the average life expectancy was only more than 40 years, because of the impact of the war. It is also because of medical conditions, the reason why Chinese have more children. It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to support my children.

Now, the Northwest is advancing the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and the examination of Western medicine combined, the final effect is far better than Yang Yuanzhao expected, medical investment, so that the mortality rate is greatly reduced, in the past may be mortal, now can be saved, a variety of new drugs and new medical equipment investment, greatly increased the average life expectancy, from 1910, the average life expectancy has increased significantly, to 1915, after the establishment of the entire Chinese medical system, from less than 45 years old, increased to 65 years old, and is still increasing.

Correspondingly, the fertility rate has also increased, in the case of food and clothing, and even under the conditions of gradual prosperity, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is to have children, China has stabilized the minimum wage, as long as you have mastered a technician above level 2, it is no problem to feed a large family, plus China's protection in terms of children, medical care does not require money, and there are nutritional subsidies every year, giving birth to children and raising children, not only is it not a burden, but it will become an easy thing, although the time is very shortAccording to Chinese statistics, since 1913, the annual fertility rate has increased significantly, and the fertility peak brought about by a healthy life has increased by 20 million.

The combination of these two figures increased by up to 30 million people, but China suddenly increased by 70 million, and the remaining 40 million people are hidden population. China is too huge, even if it does not occupy Siberia, even if it does not occupy Southeast Asia, the whole of China has 11 million square kilometers of land, plus the recovery of the land occupied by Russia, that is, 13.5 million, such a huge land, it is very difficult to manage, in a large sense, the household registration problem, has always been the most basic government to count.

In the feudal dynasty, the most basic organization is the county, one or two thousand households in small counties, thirty or forty thousand households in middle counties, and large counties may reach more than 100,000 households, but these are not the most basic population data, which is calculated by household, and those who really know the most basic data are afraid to enter into the village, or even the township, which is precisely what the feudal dynasty cannot govern, after all, the agrarian society, the income is limited, if even the level of the li, are included in the government system, the number of officials is too huge, No dynasty can bear it, even the level of pit officials in the Song Dynasty has not reached the level of officials stationed in every li, even in the village.

From ancient times to the present, the population tax is one of the largest revenues of the feudal dynasty, to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, after the implementation of the policy of the gentry to pay grain in one piece, even the high-ranking families began to hide the population, which represents their intuitive interests, especially for the small people of Shengdou, under the premise that a copper plate has to be considered for a long time, it is good to have 7 children, and to be able to report 5. In many cases, many people do not report their household registration, in order to reduce this poll tax and make their families live a better life.

The chaos in the late Qing Dynasty made this concealment rise a lot, the more rich and developed the place, the more obvious it is, the death, disappearance, going to sea, too many reasons, a county, a hundred miles, only the county lord is an official, and the rest are all officials, and it is impossible for them to pierce this layer of window paper.

At the beginning, when improving the household registration and registering the population, many people had some concerns, and God knows if this government is a false shot, and when the time comes, these household registrations will become the basic basis for them to pay taxes.

However, the Northwest does not look down on the small profits of agricultural production at all, this is an industrial society, after a raw material, processed into a basic industrial product, the benefits generated are huge, if it is not for the sake of ensuring food security, even the agricultural tax will be directly abolished.

The Qing Dynasty was harsh on taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and more and more labor was dispatched, and it was really the government to make a list, and the people were going to break the money, and even in some places, even the field tax had been received for decades, but after the founding of China, not only did it start with two exemptions and one supplement, exempted from the poll tax, most of the field taxes, and subsidized the transfer of grain to funds.

It's just that in this way, the people feel very happy, but compared with the harsh taxes of the Qing Dynasty, the northwest has more subsidies, what birth subsidies, nutrition allowances, compulsory education, lunch nutrition, as well as literacy rewards and compulsory training, minimum living guarantees, such as medical guarantees, the former is for children, and the latter is for adults, these names that have never been heard of have become Chinese characteristics, as long as you are willing to work hard, study and work, you can live well, the most important thing is that Most of the fields can be rented out and handed over to the production and construction corps to manage, although the price given by the production and construction corps is not high, but it is almost the same as they are full of cultivation for a year, don't underestimate this thirty percent, this is taken for nothing, the tax burden or something is deducted, in the past years, they came down a year, the year is good, and it is only such a number, the year is not good, maybe there is no such number.

The income of the production and construction corps is more about the improvement of the planting area, mechanized production and the improvement of crops, and these required inputs are relatively huge, as individual farmers, they only need to take money for nothing, and they can also enter the factory to work, which is simply killing two birds with one stone, except for some real old stubbornness, no one will choose to farm their own land.

However, there are many subsidies in the northwest, but many subsidies are linked to household registration, no household registration, you can't get subsidies, at the beginning, there are people habitual hiding, but then, the subsidies in the northwest are not only implemented, but more and more, looking at the household registration, under China's subsidies, changed the fate, a lot of money every month, and can even be based on this, learn technology, become workers, workers make more money than farmers, this is after China popularized the policy of the northwest, all workers, However, people who do not have a household registration cannot enjoy these, or spend their own money to study, but after they have learned, they also need a household registration to go to the factory.

Direct interests, is always easier to change a person than endless preaching, many of China's policies are like this, under the premise of money, with interests to attract, you can change a lot of things, come and go, few people hide, under the premise of further improvement of the household registration policy, after these hiding households come out, of course, the population has risen significantly.

500 million people, in the world, the vast majority of countries, is an astonishing number, almost ten times that of Germany, and even the world's major powers, their populations combined, may not be as much as China, according to reason, China should be satisfied enough, in Yang Yuanzhao's view, more is needed.

China's later generations have a population of 1.3 billion, India is about the same, the world's more than 1 billion people, there are only these two countries, China has embarked on a completely different path from the previous life, not only entered the era of industrialization earlier, in the level of science and technology, has far exceeded the world's mainstream powers, I believe that with China's heritage, will become stronger and stronger, in this case, 500 million people, never the end.
