Section 442 Population Forced War

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As soon as the Son of Heaven issued an edict, Guanzhong shook first, and then the world shook!

The pillar of Liu's regime, the vast number of small and medium-sized landlord classes, first welcomed the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Because, obviously, the biggest beneficiary of this edict is them.

The poor and the Qianshou, the lowest class in society, let alone having four or five, can raise two children, and they are already Amitabha thankful.

Only the landlord class had the spare energy to raise more children.

But the big landlords, aristocracy, and bureaucracy did not need the so-called rewards in the edict of the Son of Heaven.

A little bit of a slip in their fingers is much more than that reward!

Only the broad masses of the small and medium-sized landlord class have the ability to raise a large number of offspring and pull them up.

However, even the small and medium-sized landlord class struggled to raise four or more children.

What's more, if there are many children, WWW.UUXS.CC it will be a big problem when they split up in the future.

I don't know how many well-off families, just because of the separation, they suddenly fell to the point of being the head of the common people.

Therefore, the Han folk have a very extensive tradition of infantile drowning.

Not only will the baby girl be drowned, but the baby boy will also be drowned if the day of birth is unlucky, the brothers have enough, and so on.

And in this day and age, there is little contraception and the birth rate is very high.

Every year, in fact, a large number of babies are drowned by their fathers and grandfathers before they have time to open their eyes to see the world.

This kind of behavior is called non-lifting.

Is it cruel?

Cruel indeed!

However, ignorance or reason. dominates this behavior of people.

Although Shilin public opinion has been whipping this ignorant and selfish behavior of infantile drowning, it has had little effect.

In this day and age. There is no concept of human rights, let alone a law on the protection of mothers and children.

The Father kills the Son. It is justified and irreversible!

However, people's hearts are made of flesh, if there is a way, who wants to kill their own children with their own hands?

And most families still have the tragic tradition of killing one child a year - the birth rate is too high!

Liu Che's edict undoubtedly gave a direction of relief to those families who had been tortured by the murder.

They finally had a reason to convince themselves and their people to raise the babies, rather than abandon them or drown.

After all, for small and medium-sized landowners. Exemption from forced labor and taxes, priority in land vacations and even relocation to Guanzhong, and a few rods are very tempting.

Moreover, a son, as long as he is raised, is a strong laborer -- most of the small and medium-sized landlord families work in the fields themselves -- and they sit at home to collect rent, and they are all real local tyrants. A bully who colludes with the government.

An obvious example is the later Han Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Before Liu Xiu rebelled, he had read and studied, but he had even gone to the ground. Take the hoe.

And the Liu Xiu family is not an ordinary person, his grandfather at least had the title of nobleman, and he is a real Liu clansman.

Two days later. Liu Che made up for this edict again.

He ordered the prime minister and the imperial historian to add an article to the Han law. This law has been added to the heading for the performance appraisal of officials.

This law says: Whoever has more than 400 stones, and his heirs are not more than three. All the halls, and those who do not raise them, all of them!

This is obviously the one-vote veto system of the plagiarized post-parasitism committee.

It's just that the parasitic committee is getting out of the way if there are too many children, and Liu Che is punishing those who have given birth to less, and the drowning person is dismissed.

As soon as this law came out, it was immediately well received.

Public opinion thinks it is benevolent government.

Of course, occasionally there were a few voices that did not fit the crab, shouting what to say, this is the Qin law.

But there are few people who bird them.

Qin law?

The entire Han law is the Qin law of the cottage......

In any case, after this set of combination punches, Liu Che feels that a baby boom can be formed in at least the next ten to fifty years.

Push the population of the entire Han family to a new high.

At the very least, twenty years later, Liu Che felt that the population of the Han family should reach about 10 million households, about 70 million.

The great idea of achieving a population of more than 100 million within 50 years!

In this pre-AD era, as long as the population of a country and a nation exceeded 100 million, it was almost equivalent to inventing the atomic bomb.

You must know that if the Han population succeeds in breaking 100 million in 50 years, then it is very likely that the other humans living in other parts of the earth, including Antarctica, may not be as large as the Han people!

Such a huge population is enough for Liu Che to complete his future colonization plan.

Of course, if the population really exceeds 100 million, no, or even only needs to reach the level of 10 million households, the pressure on the Han family will become huge.

Until that time.

In front of Liu Che, it is estimated that there are only two paths.

One is to use iron and blood, sword and fire to open up living space for their own people who are waiting to be fed.

Another one......

In an agrarian society, especially in this era when agricultural technology was quite primitive and even iron tools were not yet popularized, the population of 70 million, with the current land situation of the Han Dynasty, was almost a huge bomb.

Only based on the most universal model of one man and five people and one hundred acres, at least 1.2 billion mu of land is needed to feed these 70 million mouths, and the area converted into future generations should be about 600 million mu.

In later generations, China had a completely developed national territory, but the cultivated land area was only 2 billion mu.

It doesn't take much thought to know.

If he can't help his people get enough living space, enough land to feed them and their descendants.

Then, according to the tradition of the Chinese people, they will never be willing to sit at home and wait for death.

Princes and generals, rather have a kind of thing, is the true portrayal of the Chinese peasants can no longer live.

The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

At that time, even if there were more Virgins, they would not want to be killed by the peasants. The only way to do this is to follow Liu Che and conquer foreign lands together. Colonized India.

And as long as these newborn people can be fed, it is equipped with the militia training system of the Han family. After some improvements, a mobilization mechanism was introduced.

By that time......

The Han people can mobilize in one part and pull out millions of bayonets to teach Europa ghost animals to be humans.

The real whip is broken!

More importantly, in this era, population is equal to national strength, equal to tax revenue, equal to combat effectiveness.

As long as it can feed the people of that order of magnitude, then the Han court will inevitably be able to get sufficient tax revenue and enough manpower and material resources to carry out larger-scale construction and innovation.

"This is probably the Western Han Dynasty's version of the Demographic Forced War, right?" Liu Che stood in the attic of Beique. Overlooking the scenery of Chang'an.

But how far this plan can be completed in the end, Liu Che still doesn't have much bottom in his heart.

After all, this era is a medical desert, with a high birth rate and a higher mortality rate!

Moreover, diseases are rampant, such as the minor illness flu and the bubonic plague, which has been almost eliminated in later generations, but in this era, it is a real killer, taking countless lives every year.

In this day and age. Humans are quite fragile.

For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, war and wind and cold combined to create a tragedy of 'no rooster crow for thousands of miles, and white bones are exposed in the wild'.

and even the aristocratic landlord class. also died in droves.

Even now, Liu Che is also facing a huge test.

The experience of his previous life let him know, more than ten years later. The Han family will usher in the biggest natural disaster since the founding of the country!

It's a super combination of earthquake + drought + plague.

It claimed millions of lives in a single year, leaving most of China blank.

This super combination. In the previous life, forcing the Han family to have to give an order. It is forbidden to feed livestock corn, and even the clothes of officials, strict regulations have been made, and you can imagine what a catastrophe this is!

Fortunately, Liu Che was reborn through time, so he could avoid this tragedy from happening again at this time.

He clearly remembered where this super-catastrophe began, where it reached **, and when it ended.

Therefore, Liu Che has already begun to lay out.

One of the most obvious signals is that Liu Che ordered Shangyong County to move southward, especially Shangyong County, directly to an area far away from the Longmen fault zone.

In the previous life, the earthquake in Shangyong County, which lasted for 22 days, almost razed the entire Shangyong to the ground, and tens of thousands of people died. The county seat of Shangyong County has become a pile of rubble.

This super earthquake, according to Liu Che's estimate, at least, has a magnitude of eight.

But it's not all earthquakes.

Just a small portrayal of the period when the continental plate was active.

In addition to Shangyong, the Han Dynasty suffered four other large-scale earthquakes within a year.

Hanzhong County, Hengshan County and Yunzhong County became the hardest hit areas.

Hedong County, Hexi County, and Guanzhong were hit by Yanzhòng.

What's even more terrifying is that after the earthquake, or in the gap between the earthquake, drought and plague are rampant, and this is the real killer thing!

Liu Che remembered clearly that in his previous life, in the face of this disaster, the entire Han family was at a loss.

The imperial court had to declare a state of emergency, which was almost equivalent to that of later generations, to impose strict controls on grain, cloth and salt, and to impose mandatory quarantine on the disaster areas.

This incident, in the history books of later generations, is just a record of 'not going up for the year, forbidding the world to eat and not making the year'.

But as a person who has come over, Liu Che knows that in his previous life, this huge disaster was the culprit that defeated his emperor father, who could have lasted a few years.

The year after this super disaster, the emperor's father died.

And now, Liu Che must thank God for giving him a chance to be reborn again.

After he ascended the throne, he continued to make various moves to prepare for this super disaster that would come in more than ten years.

Migration is just one of them.

The relocation of a large number of people from the earthquake-stricken areas to the safety of the northeast, North Korea, and Wuchu in the south has also begun.

Of course, each has its own excuses.

And, for the time being, the range of action is very small.

But there are still more than ten years, enough for Liu Che to evacuate most of the population in the disaster area before the disaster strikes.

As for the rest, those who do not want to go.

Liu Che is the emperor, so naturally there is a way to let them go!

"However, in the future, I am afraid that this matter will become a symbol of my deification!" Liu Che touched his chin and thought.

It hardly takes any thought to it.

This is a miracle!

It is the best proof of the king's power!

I am afraid that thousands of years after this incident, Liu Che may become a part of myths and legends. (To be continued......)
