Chapter 400 Population

"Conquer the world?"

Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

"Great Qin now has hot weapons, and I will also ask the arsenal to produce more advanced fur-colored guns. These weapons are more powerful than crossbows. By then, only tens of thousands of people will be able to easily conquer a country.

Conquest has become easier! So conquering the world is not the most important thing at all!"

Ying Feiyu stretched out a chubby little finger, shook it and said.

"Conquering the world doesn't count?"

This really puts Ying Zheng in a difficult situation.

Internal affairs and defense against foreign enemies are the most important things for a country. Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, they don't need to worry about attacks from foreign enemies. He really can't think of anything that is the most important!

"Procreate!"

Ying Feiyu slowly uttered two words and raised his eyebrows at Ying Zheng.

"Fertility?"

Now not only Ying Zheng was confused, but Lian'er was also confused.

The two looked at each other, their faces suddenly flushed.

"What does this child know at such a young age?"

Ying Zheng thought the child was making fun of him, so he pretended to be angry and scolded him.

"Father, what I said is serious...!"

Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes at him and continued: "Isn't it a waste to just conquer the world and conquer the land without anyone to manage it? And it will take at least fifteen or six years for a generation to grow up. While the Qin Dynasty is still here,

If you don’t dominate the world, you will have to call for procreation. After conquering all other countries, this generation will have grown up, just in time to manage and utilize those lands!”

"Oh! So that's it!"

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, "This is simple. I will issue an edict later and let the people of the world have more children."

However, Ying Feiyu still shook his head.

"When did the Qin Dynasty ban childbearing? It's just that there is not enough food to eat, and high taxes have to be paid. After a certain level, the people will no longer have children!"

Da Qin collected taxes based on head count.

Regardless of whether you are a child or an elderly person, you must pay taxes.

Even if a family has no ability to work, the tax is absolutely unavoidable!

This also leads to many people trying to have as few children as possible!

It's just that there are no measures in this era, and a child will be born accidentally!

If it could be controlled, it would probably be the same as in later generations. Each family would only have one child, and that would be enough to carry on the family line!

"If my father reduces taxes, grain production increases year by year, and the people have enough food and clothing, and have extra money in their hands, and with the encouragement of the imperial court, they will naturally have more children, and in the future, all the lands conquered by the Qin Dynasty will be filled with people.

Managed!”

“If it’s for land management, wouldn’t immigration have the same effect?”

The old coward Ying Zheng still didn’t want to let go.

After the Xiongnu's territory was conquered, many people immigrated there. Over time, they could assimilate the people there. He planned to use this method in the future!

"Immigration does need to happen, but it also needs to be done in a reasonable manner. It needs to be done while ensuring a sufficient population. You can't turn Daqin into an empty city just for the sake of immigration, right?"

With the current population of Da Qin scattered all over the world, it would be like pouring a ladle of water into a lake, without causing any waves at all.

So what he meant was to take advantage of the fact that the Qin Dynasty had not yet completely pacified all the countries, so as to create good conditions for the people and stimulate their desire to have children.

When the Qin Dynasty really pacified the world, this wave of immigrants began to grow and develop gradually.

"Brother Zheng, I think Fei Yu is right!"

Lian'er was the first to nod in agreement.

It’s not that I have to support the views put forward because of my son.

But this idea is worth admiring!

Now that Da Qin's territory has just expanded, it doesn't seem like the population is small!

When Da Qin's territory expands to the whole world in the future, this population will definitely not be enough!

"But... if we want to reduce or reduce taxes, I'm afraid that if a natural disaster occurs in the future, the court will not be able to spend money to deal with it, and then it will cause unrest...?"

Ying Zheng scratched his head and kept thinking.

He did think that this guy was right, but he was just worried that he didn't have enough money!

"Father, my son has now conquered the Three Kingdoms. There are many rich mineral deposits. As long as you send those slaves to mine, won't gold and silver continue to enter the treasury? There is no need to worry about natural disasters!"

"Besides, now that food income has increased, even if there is a natural disaster, people will still have enough food in their homes to last for a while!"

"Even if the food at home is not enough, we can mobilize the entire Qin Dynasty to donate food to the disaster area. And those wealthy businessmen, if they donate a lot, we can give them an honorary title. In this way, are we afraid that they will not pay?

"

Ying Feiyu said with a smile.

"Well! You still have more ideas!"

After listening to his method, Ying Zheng nodded happily.

Those wealthy businessmen have money, but they just don’t spend it outside!

If there is a false name given by the court and they are advertised in newspapers, they will definitely spend money to support the disaster area!

Of course, this is also good for them.

It is equivalent to giving yourself a big advertisement, and the ensuing effect must be huge!

"Then...father has agreed?"

Ying Feiyu asked with a sideways face.

"I have no problem here, but for such a big matter, I have to discuss it with the ministers!"

"Okay! As long as Father agrees!"

Once the old guy Ying Zheng is dealt with, things will be easier for the ministers in the court.

"Can you tell me about turtles this time?"

Ying Zheng stared at him with interest and asked with burning eyes.

"Actually, it's nothing, they're just some marine animals, but the taste is much better than the ones in our rivers! For example, crabs have sharp corners on both sides, and are two or three times the size of river crabs. They taste so fresh,

And the octopus...!"

Ying Feiyu told Ying Zheng vividly and vividly, which made him salivate.

"Next time your kid goes to sea again, you must take me with you. I also have to see that strange animal with eight legs!"

After listening to Xiao Shota's words, he suddenly felt that he had taken the wrong route during his four previous eastward tours. Why didn't he go to the beach for a walk?

As this boy said, it is so delicious to take a boat out to sea, enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the chirping of seagulls, go fishing, and eat seafood!

"Father, when will my son and his ministers go to sea again without being protected? Moreover, you are still required to preside over the major affairs of the court. If I am gone for several months, what will happen to the affairs of the court?"

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head repeatedly, he didn't want to go out with such a burden.

Isn’t that equivalent to a pair of eyes staring behind you all the time?

"Of course, the ministers will handle matters in the DPRK. The three provinces and six ministries each perform their duties and handle the matter properly! Furthermore, before I visited the east, I was away for more than a few months. This was a common occurrence for a year and a half.

,Isn’t the imperial court still operating as usual...?”

Ying Zheng was determined to win and said: "Before, there were often provocations on the border. Now that the Xiongnu have been destroyed, the border is much more stable. If I leave for eight months, there will be no problem at all!"

"That's it, it's settled. Next time you leave, you have to take me with you. Otherwise, don't go anywhere!"
