"This plan is very good, Mister is a great talent!”
"Not spending a single cent to repair the road, this method is really not bad.”
"If that's the case, it's indeed much better than conscription. The people can build roads and earn money when they're idle. This will also help the people's livelihood!”
Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were full of praise for this suggestion!
Even Chong Zhen couldn't help but nod his head. This method was indeed good. In Great Qin, there were people who specially checked and approved all projects, and it would be difficult for merchants to get away with it. The quality of the projects would also be greatly guaranteed.
After using this plan, Great Qin would have countless roads in less than eight to ten years. This would be a huge profit.
"Sir, I'm also moved by what you said!" Chong Zhen smiled bitterly." However, if I want to replicate this plan in the Ming Dynasty, it's definitely not feasible. There are too many corrupt officials in this world. It's difficult to guarantee the quality of the project.”
"Indeed!"
Everyone nodded in understanding!
The Great Ming Dynasty had many drawbacks at the moment, and it was indeed not suitable to play this kind of trick immediately.
The Great Qin Dynasty didn't have this drawback. Old Zhao's methods were iron-blooded. Who would dare to cause trouble under his hands? Was he not afraid of death?
"Moving 300,000 households to the north and having cement to build roads, Old Zhao, you'll be busy for a while!”
"However, this is not enough. I want to set three new national policies for Great Qin!”
As Ji Han ate and drank, he threw out another bombshell!
Hearing that, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben's eyes lit up immediately.
"Sir!" "What new three national policies?" asked Ying Zheng, his face full of anticipation. Please tell me, I'm all ears."
After all, Great Qin had benefited greatly from the three national policies.
If they could obtain Ji Hanxin's guidance, Great Qin would definitely benefit greatly.
" The first plan is to increase grain production!" Ji Han went straight to the point and said,"I gave you so many food seeds last time, so find a place to plant them and promote them so that Great Qin no longer lacks food!”
"When potatoes and other crops increase in production on a large scale, and there is a surplus of food, a portion can be used to trade with Chongzhen, and a portion can be used to encourage the people to raise pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. They can also encourage fishing to increase their meat intake, so that the people can be healthy and lay a foundation for a hundred years!”
"Well said, sir!" " That's a good idea," Wang Ben agreed immediately." We're poor, and we've always dreamed of living a good life. If we could have meat every day, we'd be able to live a good life."”
"This plan is not difficult!" Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly and said," I've already asked people to speed up the planting. In less than two to three months, this grain seed will be spread all over the major prefectures.”
"Yes!" "Second, increase the population!" Ji Han continued in satisfaction. Great Qin had been conquering for many years, but it had not had many people. Even if it conquered endless territory in the future, it would not have enough people to defend it, so it was very important to increase its population.”
"The number of people in a country determines its strength and glory. As such, let's set a small goal to increase Great Qin's population to 300 million!”
"300 million?"
"So many?"
"This, this is too exaggerated, right?"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Great Qin's current population was only around 20 million, and it was difficult to increase it to 300 million.
Humans were not pigs. How could it be so easy to increase production?
On the other hand, Ying Zheng's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly!
If Great Qin's population increased to 300 million, it would be able to easily recruit 10 million soldiers. Just imagining that 10 million soldiers sweeping through the various countries made Old Zhao drool.
"First, you're right; without a population, how can Great Qin dominate the other countries?”"But how can we increase the population?" asked Ying Zheng excitedly.”
"Don't be anxious!" Ji Han smiled and said," I've set a national policy for a hundred years. This population increase isn't something that can be done overnight. We have to look at it in the long run!"”
"Therefore, if we want to increase the population, we have to implement two major strategies. One is to reduce taxes, and the other is to marry and have children later!”
"Hmm?"
Everyone was dumbfounded again!
What did these two strategies have to do with increasing the population?
"Lowering taxes is mainly to let the people eat, wear, and live a rich life!”Ji Han explained," This kind of person is full and warm, so he'll yearn for sex. It's late at night, and the people have nothing to do after eating and drinking, so they should be happy. Coupled with the fact that they lived a rich life and were not afraid of having too many children, wouldn't the population increase?”
Ji Han's simple explanation made everyone burst into laughter!
In fact, this was the case regardless of the dynasties.
For example, the high housing prices in modern times were absolutely a good tool for sterilization, forcing the common people to not dare to have children.
If you want to increase the population, you have to make the people rich!
As such, Great Qin's burden reduction had to continue.
Of course, Old Zhao wasn't worried about reducing taxes because of this.
With the increase in grain production and trade, the income from commercial taxes would increase greatly. At that time, the national treasury would only become richer.
"Sir!" " We know that lowering taxes can increase the population, but why can delaying marriage and childbirth also increase the population?" Wang Ben asked curiously. Wasn't there a conflict? They should encourage childbirth. How could they marry late and have children late?”
"Humph!" Ji Han coldly harrumphed," Right now, women in Great Qin can get married and have children at the age of 14 or 15. Their bodies haven't even fully grown yet, and seven or eight out of ten children will die prematurely. How can this increase the population?”
"Late marriage and late childbirth means to let women marry later and let their bodies grow better before they give birth. It's the same principle as letting a fruit tree grow more before bearing fruit!”
"Once the age of marriage and childbirth for women is raised to eighteen or twenty years old, the premature death rate of babies will plummet. By then, eight or nine out of ten babies will be able to survive.”
"Only by doing this, together with a good medical environment, can Great Qin's population continue to increase, and Great Qin will never lack soldiers!”
