I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

At this time, Yuanguo was in the stage of half recuperation.

Because of Zhiyao's arbitrarily equalizing the land in Song State, the situation of Yuan State has fluctuated a bit.

A large number of nobles are dissatisfied that those who have not done meritorious service can be rewarded, thinking that it is very unfair to them, but they dare not express their dissatisfaction, and only express their worries through various channels.

Li Shu of the Song Dynasty was of course very happy, he did nothing and had a piece of land under his name.Although this piece of land cannot be bought and sold, the ancestors have never been able to own the land under their names. How could they sell it when they suddenly have it in this generation.

Li Shu in other regions heard about the events in the Song Dynasty, and they were looking forward to the implementation of policies in other places day and night. With thoughts, they naturally became less focused on doing things, which affected production to some extent.

"These labor pains were already expected."

"The widow also knows why the officials objected. It is not just dissatisfaction, but also the fear of the unknown."

"This matter has a huge impact, and it is normal for people's hearts to be unstable. I ask you to wait for two years and see the changes in the Song Dynasty."

"If there is no benefit at that time, the widow is not a person who knows his mistakes and does not correct them."

Zhiyao is the founding king of the country, and has accumulated enough prestige from fighting east and west.

What if the successor wants to play reform?Not only will the pressure be greater, but there is no corresponding prestige to suppress opponents, which is very likely to cause chaos in the country, and even the ending of a change of dynasty.

Zhiyao knows what she is doing and the correctness of how to do it. She just understands that if it is not correct, good results will come out. Too many correct things will always be hindered, so that it cannot be implemented at all, and even good things become bad.

If Zhiyao hadn't completed the reform of the military system of the original country, even with his prestige, he would not have dared to use the land equalization system.

Historically, the land equalization system was formed out of the needs of the changing times, and it took hundreds of years to form subtly. It did not change and be implemented in a short period of time as a national policy one day.

What changes have taken place in the military system of the original country?In the past, the country issued an order, and the nobles completed the recruitment in their own fiefdoms. Since they could not leapfrog the command, the object of soldiers' allegiance was the nobles, not the king of a country and the country.

To put it bluntly, every aristocrat can be regarded as a warlord integrating military and government. Their willingness to be loyal to the monarch is naturally the armed force of the country. Once they do not take the monarch seriously, they are armed.

The royal family of Zhou was facing that kind of situation. Otherwise, the emperor of Zhou would be the co-lord of the world, and all the princes would be the subjects of the emperor of Zhou. How could it be that after the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor of Zhou could no longer be seen scolding Fang Qiu.

Zhiyao doesn't want to be the emperor of Zhou. She is clearly the king of a country, but in fact she can't do anything.

The reform of the military system in the original country was quite simple. After Zhiyao implemented the operation of destroying the family and building the country, the country's territory was divided into counties and counties, and then slowly took back various powers from the nobles by boiling frogs in warm water.

First of all, the compulsory military system began to be implemented in the original country, which means that all men of the right age have the obligation to serve, including corvee service and becoming a soldier to participate in defense or invasion tasks.

Zhiyao did not grant the qualifications for enlistment to ordinary Lishu in a very short period of time. The whole process took more than 20 years and was progressively progressed one by one. It was not carried out all over the country at once.

The first place where compulsory military service appeared was in Qidi. At that time, Chen Guo in Donglai didn't know whether to move or not. Facing the direct threat from Wu Guo, new interest groups were wrestling with old interest groups.

At that time, the aristocracy of the original country did not object. Firstly, it may be because they did not realize what Zhiyao was doing, and secondly, there was a real need for it. Otherwise, Qidi might be lost again.

Subsequent lands of Yan and Qin were like Qi lands. Ordinary Li and Shu would be conscripted for two to three months every year, and someone would be responsible for training their obedience and teaching related fighting skills.

In the early days, there were trained people who generally performed local garrison tasks, such as eliminating bandits in the surrounding area.

I have experience in several garrison missions, and if I am recruited again, I will go to a certain border county. Maybe it is purely to defend the border there, and I may also encounter border friction. Compare.

Those who have experience in frontier defense will face the next task of being recruited to enrich a certain legion, and then follow the legion to participate in large-scale battles.

This cyclical progressive mode can only be played in the original country, which has a sound management system and a sufficient population to take it slowly.

For example, in the Yue Kingdom, there were only more than 200 million people under Goujian's rule. When more than [-] troops were needed, it was equivalent to mobilizing more than one-twentieth of the population.

The population of the country is one thing, but the source of suitable soldiers is another. It is necessary to eliminate the old, weak, women and children. There may be only 200 people who can serve as soldiers in Vietnam with a population of [-] million, and it is impossible to recruit all suitable soldiers. The people all pulled into battle.

Xiaochao will end.

Zhiyao called Zhixuwu, Han Geng and Zhongxingqi to have a private meeting.

"Government, how is the census going?" Zhiyao directly entered the topic.

Han Geng recalled it for a while, and said: "Gyeonggi (Western) Jin and Qi are still completed, and the progress of Yan, Qin, Zheng, Song, and Wu is...slow."

Then Han Geng said: "Only counting the places where the census has been completed, the total population is 900 million."

This is counting the number of registers, including slaves who have been freed in recent years.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the population not counting slaves should have exceeded 550 million. The population of Wei State, which had gone through the baptism of war, was about 40 million, and the population of Qi State was about 120 million.

The Yuan Kingdom has been established for more than 20 years. During this period, slaves have been given the opportunity to be free, including production and battles. They have successively liberated quite a large number of slaves, and the Zhi clan liberated the most slaves.

More than 20 years have passed, and a generation has grown up. The combined population of Jin, Wei and Qi is 900 million, which is actually about 100 million less than Zhiyao estimated.

This 800 million only counts men and women over the age of 13, and does not include men and women under the age of 13. Adding men and women under the age of 13, the total number of Jindi, Weidi, and Qidi can definitely exceed [-] million.

Jindi had not experienced much war damage, and the living environment was not considered to have deteriorated. The lost population would only appear in natural deaths and most of them died in battle.

The first development of Zhiyao is Jindi. Whether or not there is enough to eat is the key to the increase and decrease of population. Jindi must maintain the attitude of population increase.

In the data center that Han Geng took out, the Jin area alone accounted for 900 million of the 700 million population, and the rest was divided between the Qi area and the Wei area.

"So many?" Ji Seogo looked surprised.

Zhong Xingqi said: "In this way, plus Zheng Di, Song Di, Qin Di, Yan Di, Wu Di..., wouldn't it be..."

Han Geng shook his head and said, "The lands of Yan, Qin, and Wu hardly have too many people."

The total population of Yan State before its demise was only 90 million. When Yuan State destroyed Yan State, it did not go to war too much. It was just that the Yan army suffered successive defeats against the foreign allied forces, waiting for Yuan State to become the ruler of Yan State. The remaining population It is estimated to be more than 70?
The situation in Qin is more complicated. Their original population should be 50 million, but more than half of them are still nomadic.

When Yuan State destroyed Qin State, Qin State fought with Yiqu and Rongdi for several years. Later, the original army invaded and caused a large number of Qin people to flee until Yuan State ruled Qin with only 60 million people left.

The state of Zheng was even worse. They first fought a "20-year" war with the state of Song, and then they were repeatedly invaded by the state of Chu and Jin. At its peak, the population of Zheng was only 110 million. At the end of the period, only about 60 remained There must be fewer people when it is the Yuan country's turn to rule Zheng Di.

On the other side of the land of Wu, there was a confrontation between Wu and Chu first, and then the Yue State destroyed the Wu State, and then the Chu army and the Song army entered to wreak havoc, and the original army and the Chu army frequently fought against each other.

Originally, the population of Wu State should be close to 140 million. After a series of wars, the original army is still cleaning up. The estimated population is only 50 million, right?
It is equivalent to saying that in less than 20 years, Wudi lost one-third of its population.

Song is the place where the original population is the largest, but the original population of Song is only 90 million, the basic value is not much, and the upper limit of the population that can be added to the original country is extremely low.

That is to say, even if Qin, Yan, Song, Zheng, and Wu are counted, the population of the original country can be increased by about 350 million.

Zhiyao probably has a clue in her heart.

Not counting those under the age of 13, the current population of the original country should be around 1000 to [-] million.

Including people under the age of 13, the original country should have a total population of more than 300 million.

Including the slaves, the population definitely exceeded 500 million.

With such a population, it may not be as large as a modern province, but don't forget that it is 455 years ago.

Until Qin State completed the unification war, the total population of Zhuxia land was only about 2000 million.This is the data after 230 four years.

With such a long time for development, the production level must be improved no matter what?
"Maybe in another ten years, counting the population and newborn babies of Chu, Ba, and Shu, the population of the whole country will exceed 500 million." Zhiyao was full of longing.

After all, the original country's medical technology has been improving, and the implementation of equalization will inevitably usher in a population explosion.

Speaking of it, most of the progress in medical treatment is focused on dealing with trauma, and the progress of internal medicine is relatively slow.

The progress of surgery is reflected in the fact that there are too many wounded, enough materials, and a platform for communication, it is really difficult to think about progress.

Drug trials and the addition of prescriptions are too time-dependent, and there must always be sufficient clinical verification, and there are not many prescriptions that can be used for similar diseases with traditional Chinese medicine, and the control of medicines is also too particular.

But in general, the contribution of the Chinese medicine system to Zhu Xia is far greater than imagined, and it is relatively mild, and operations that are clearly harmful to human life rarely occur in the data.

Europa has a long history of bloodletting treatment. A person is obviously weak enough to die, and then bloodletting... Immortality is simply enough life.

Ten years later, the population of the original country is likely to reach 500 million?This generation should no longer experience frequent wars, and a stable life will inevitably lead to rapid population growth again.

Take the Western Han Dynasty as an example. About a hundred years passed between Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the population was 300 million. By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the population had reached 5000 million, an increase of 700 million.

At present, many daily tools in Yuanguo are more advanced than those in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, especially Zhiyao brought many living habits to avoid illness for contemporary people. In another 100 years, if there is no large-scale war, it is unreasonable to compare The population growth rate of the Western Han Dynasty is slow, right?
There is only one point, how many people can be supported by Zhuxia's land, there is actually a fixed value before there is new food that can fill the stomach.

During the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty, the total population was about 6000 million.

The total population at the peak of the Sui Dynasty was about 5000 million.

There are relatively big disputes about the largest population data of the Tang Dynasty, ranging from 6000 million to 4000 million.It is proposed that the population of the Tang Dynasty was 4000 million people from Japan.

When the Song Dynasty had the largest population, it reached an astonishing 1000 million to [-] million people, and its territory was the smallest in Zhengshuo in all dynasties. It is really surprising to have such a large population!

The population of the Ming Dynasty, according to the records in "History of the Ming Dynasty", reached more than 6000 million at its peak, but some relevant scholars believe that it should exceed [-] million.

So, how could the Song Dynasty feed more than 1 million people?Because their handicraft industry is extremely developed, and their sea trade is also extremely prosperous, they can purchase food in large quantities from Nanyang and other places to return home.

In the Ming Dynasty, the army first reclaimed the barren land, and then turned it into civilian use, and developed almost all the places where food could be grown.

Taking the general value, Zhiyao thinks that her generation will expand at most to a slightly larger territory than Qin Shihuang's before his death, and it will not increase much if it is increased.

In the generation of Zhikai, Zhiyao will leave a last word before his death, and to stabilize the rule, no longer rapid expansion, the most is to win Monan, and then expand to the west of Hexi in a limited way.

The Korean peninsula does not take it?To be honest, it is a barren land. The so-called "Three Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" are really mostly mountainous areas. There are other better places. What is the comparison with a place full of mountains.This is also the reason why the Central Plains dynasties looked down upon it.

Zhikai should win the Korean peninsula, not because of other reasons, but because the local government migrated from Zhuxia, taking it and letting the survivors of Zhuxia over there return, it can achieve the effect of enhancing prestige.

"In at most three years, I will start the battle to destroy Chu." Zhiyao needs to see whether the capture of Bashu will go smoothly.

Not surprisingly, the Yuan country will first invade the Shu country next year, and successfully wipe out the Lianba country together.

During this period, it will take one or two years to survey the passage of the Dajiang River, and then to stabilize the rule in Bashu, and then to launch the war of destroying the country against Chu.

In these three years, Zhiyao will prepare an army of at least 70 for Chu!
