"Your Majesty, the current population of our country, Qin, is over 43.16 million!"

Zhang Han's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Hiss..."

After a series of numbers, all the ministers in the hall suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"I really didn't expect that there are actually so many people in our Great Qin now?"

"Yeah! I didn't expect that either! I thought it was the local officials who lied about their political achievements in order to look good!"

"You don't know if you don't check it. If you check it, you'll be shocked. The population of Daqin has grown so rapidly in the past few years...!"

After the shock, the ministers gathered together to discuss.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the ministers' faces, Ying Zheng felt even better.

Zhang Han took advantage of the situation and handed over the prepared memorial.

Jing Fu took small steps and hurriedly ran down to pick it up, then turned around and presented it to Ying Zheng.

"Okay! Okay, haha!"

The memorial clearly states the total number of people in each county, including parts and numbers.

After Ying Zheng took a closer look, Long Xin was overjoyed, and the entire hall echoed with his devilish laughter!

"Your Majesty, now our people in Great Qin live and work in peace and contentment, and the population continues to grow. This is the best time to immigrate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The population of our country Qin has skyrocketed in recent years. Within three years, there will be another 10 million or even 20 million people. It is indeed a good time to immigrate!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal...!"

After determining the current population of Da Qin, ministers stepped forward one after another and proposed immigration.

"Um!"

Ying Zheng nodded noncommittally and looked at Wang Ben, Zhang Han, Meng Yi and other veterans, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, after our Da Qin soldiers arrived in Yizhou, they immediately carried out a sweep of Yizhou and subdued all the natives just after the New Year! Without the threat of the natives, the immigrants of the people will be much safer!"

"Yes! Only by immigrating can Yizhou completely become our land of Great Qin!"

“With the state’s rich resources, it can greatly increase people’s income!”

"Yep……!"

Wang Bi and Meng Yi were the first to speak out, followed by several others who supported immigration.

The development of Nanyang was very successful. The first batch of people to Nanyang were given large areas of mountain forest by the imperial court and allowed them to plant rubber trees.

Before the rubber trees grow, you can pick spices and cut those natural rubber trees to increase people's income!

In order to facilitate the people, Nanyang is now very lively with ships coming and going to transport goods every day, turning the land of Nanyang into a part of Daqin!

"What do you think, kid?"

None of the ministers had any objections, and Ying Zheng turned his attention to Ying Feiyu again, wanting to see if he had any different opinions.

"Father, Da Qin's resources are limited. It will definitely not be a problem to feed the current people. However, as the population continues to increase, from 40 million to 100 million, or even one billion, these resources will become increasingly large.

Less or even exhausted!”

"Now that there is land for people to immigrate to, it is the best time to disperse the population. I am sure that I will support it with both hands!"

In fact, there is no need to ask him this question.

It was he who proposed the idea of ​​migrating to Nanyang in the first place.

As long as there is enough population, he is the most supportive of immigration!

From ancient times to later generations, people have fought for a little bit of territory for generations, just to gain more resources!

Now that resources are available and people have unlimited space for development, is there anything to hesitate about?

"The development of Nanyang has driven many industries. When Yizhou develops in the future, it will drive more industries! When more people live there, I can build factories there!"

Most of the current factories are concentrated in Xianyang, and pollution problems will definitely be faced in the future.

Therefore, Ying Feiyu starts planning now to disperse the factories to minimize pollution to the natural environment!

I hope that thousands of years from now, the sky will still be blue and the water will still be clear!

This is why he hasn’t gotten rid of the plastic yet!

That thing can really facilitate people's lives, and the cost is not high.

But it is also true that it pollutes the environment!

"Well! Okay! Then the matter is settled!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ying Zheng waved his hand and announced immediately.

"Zhang Aiqing!"

"I'm here!"

"Let's go back to the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss the most suitable number of immigrants for each county and come up with a charter!"

Ying Zheng announced with a serious face.

"yes!"

Zhang Han happily accepted the task.

Even though this matter may seem simple, there is a lot to say in it!

It must be determined based on local farmland conditions and population size.

It does not mean that there are three million people in this area and one million people in that area. Just take away two million from the area with three million people.

That would only cause Great Qin's economy to decline and would not have any effect on growth!

A large population in an area can only mean that there is more farmland or more job opportunities.

Otherwise, why would the people crowd in this area and not leave?

Once a large number of people are transferred from here, no one will take care of those industries and farmland, and food production will decrease!

Not to mention taking 10% here and 10% there.

It seems fair and harmless, but in fact the population in some places is exactly the same as the cultivated area. Once a few percent of the people are removed, the labor force will be reduced, thus reducing the cultivated area!

Daqin's industry and commerce have indeed been booming in recent years, but most of them are ordinary farmers.

You must immigrate while ensuring that the cultivated land remains unchanged!

Therefore, determining the number of immigrants is not a good thing.

If it were before, Zhang Han would definitely have a frown on his face and ask Ying Feiyu what he should do!

But this time is different. The census has just ended, and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs have just returned from various places, and they know the local situation very well.

Now when I take on this job, I just hold it in hand and there is no problem at all.

Within three days, a detailed charter will definitely be produced!

"Do you have anything else to report to my dear friends?"

"I have something to report...!"

Ying Zheng was very happy today and handled all the matters reported by the ministers properly.

After the morning court, the ministers walked side by side towards the outside of the palace!

"It seems that the encouragement of childbearing in recent years has been effective. The population of Daqin has increased so much!"

"Yes! It seems that the local governments really did not lie!"

"There are definitely false reports, but some people have no fixed residence at all and move around, and the government has no records!"

"Well! There are not many like this!"

"Now that's good, everyone has an ID card. From now on, no matter whether they are born, old, sick or dead, they have to go to the government office to register their household registration. The population number reported after that should be accurate!"

"Yep……!"

After the early dynasty, all officials were still lamenting the sudden increase in population.

"Now we have a population, but people may not be willing to immigrate!"

"That's right! Even if the quotas for immigrants in each county are set, it is estimated that not many people will sign up!"

"Yizhou is really too far away. Besides what happened before, who is willing to take the risk? Even if the soldiers purge all the natives, the effect will not be great!"

"How effective it is depends on how well the ships sent out by the various aristocratic families are harvested...!"

Ministers fully support immigration, but they are not very optimistic about the effects of immigration.

Not to mention that each county has limited quotas.
Chapter completed!
