I am Da Song

Chapter 645 Final Chapter One
In fact, talking so much is completely gimmicky. In the final analysis, the grassroots will not be able to have children in the later stage.

Of course, this unaffordable child means that after the family has a child, it will not be able to keep up with the average living standard of the society.

Give birth to a child, throw them into the field, just dig the soil, and rely on ten acres of thin land, it can still be done with hunger and fullness.

But this kind of life, can't afford clothes, can't afford furniture, I'm afraid few people are willing to live it.

So Zhao Huan sat on the train and said: "It's hard to say whether we can reach [-] million people before the population declines. Maybe the total population will start to decline before the population peak is reached."

Wei Sheng exclaimed: "I only heard that the population is constantly expanding, how can it naturally shrink? Don't we have a chance to touch the scale of [-] million?"

Zhao Huan said: "In the past, the population only increased but not decreased because, except for the scholar-bureaucrats, almost all civilians were confined to the farmland. 90.00% of the peasants did not need to consider the decline in class. They were already at the bottom of society, so they were open to having children. .”

"In our dynasty, the imperial court no longer emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, and does not establish a land system. As a result, all peoples are prosperous, and a large number of handicrafts have emerged, workshop owners, merchants, village owners, and outsiders."

"These people don't have enough money to develop the economy, and even lead to usurious loans."

"There is a huge urban class in the country, and farmers only account for 90.00%."

"When I come to accept the soil, what do you think the peasant class accounts for today?"

The officials on the train began to think about it. Wei Sheng said: "Based on the current counties of 840 counties in the imperial court, even if the population of the counties is more than 800 million."

"Combining the owners, officials, and princes, the non-agricultural population is estimated to exceed 5000 million."

Calculated in this way, the agricultural population of Song Dynasty dropped from about 90.00% to about 60.00%.

However, Zhao Huan looked at the fields outside the train and felt that a large part of the 60.00% of farmers were not farmers in the small-scale peasant economy.

Many of them farmed for the owner this year, and may go to the city to work for the workshop owner next year, and they may have crossed the ocean in the year after and appeared in the sequence of overseas development.

This is the most different point between the Song Dynasty and other dynasties.

So Zhao Huan said: "More than 30.00%, close to 40.00% of the urbanization rate, the industrialization process of the empire has started. The remaining farmers will continue to move to the city every year. Only the basics for maintaining land production are left among the people. quantity."

"The population will shrink naturally by then."

To verify what Zhao Huan said, it is necessary to witness with the dimension of ten years as a unit.

And the first node that was valued by Da Song was the 31st year of Jianye.

This year is Zhao Huan's 60th birthday celebration.

In ancient times, at the age of 60, one knew the destiny.

Even Zhao Huan, the emperor, was already a little old, with a few strands of white hair among his thick black hair.

The empire has been in the hands of his emperor for nearly 40 years.

This is a time enough to change the color of the world.

Today's Song Dynasty only relies on authority, which is enough to make the world fear.

The terrifying prestige of the empire has penetrated into every corner of the world.

The city of Rome in Italy had already been breached by Zhao Huaizhong. He repeated the historical situation and massacred priests in the church.

It's just that this time the massacre was on a larger scale. More than 8000 Christian priests were massacred, including a large number of cardinals.The Pope was sent to Tokyo by him.

In this case, the Christian world quickly accepted the fact that the Pope was appointed by Tokyo.

The fall of Rome dealt an unparalleled blow to the entire West.

In particular, the British royal family, which fell together with Rome, was completely wiped out by the Song Dynasty, which strongly shocked the resistance beliefs of all small western countries.

Western royal families have introduced Eastern civilization one after another, and dare not be known as Christians.

The whole world is shivering under the feet of the Central Plains, only Spain and Portugal are a little cautious in the corners of the border.

It is said that they started the era of great navigation, rowing all the way to the south coast of Africa and the east coast of South America with small sailboats.

However, this did not attract the attention of the Eastern court at all.

After all, when their small broken ship encountered the tall warship of the empire, it would be blasted to pieces in an instant.

Even if they encounter civilian armed merchant ships, they will be captured as trophies.

The entire imperial court is more concerned about the changes in the Central Plains.

The prince personally organized the emperor's 60th birthday celebration, and he must deliver a satisfactory answer to the emperor.

Zhao Huan's birthday is Tianshou Festival, and this festival already has a very standard procedure.

Jiaofangsi started preparing for singing and dancing a month in advance.

Envoys from various countries have already arrived with their tributes.

But this year the focus is not on the envoys from all over the world, but on the content prepared by the crown prince and the third division.

On the day of Tianshou Festival, the first link is for the prince, Zaizhi, prince and clan to celebrate their birthdays.

Looking at the young and vigorous prince, he led Baiguan to pay homage to his birthday.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "I feel that I am still very young, so there is no need to make such a fuss about my birthday."

"But on second thought, I have been in charge of the world for nearly forty years. Time flies by like a fleeting horse."

"I heard that you have carefully prepared a tribute, where is it?"

The prince immediately took out a bright yellow brocade from his sleeve and handed it to the servant beside him.Then he said: "It's my map of Jiangshan Sheji in the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Huan slowly opened the bright yellow brocade full of words, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "This is to show my merits. Prince, please tell me in detail."

The prince immediately opened his mouth and said in detail: "Daddy prospered the Song Dynasty for more than 40 years. The people didn't know about soldiers, but they were taught by the rich, and the industry was extremely poor. The officials have been in power for nearly [-] years, and they have recruited heroes from all over the world. They are innumerable. Heart and soul, use his words respectfully, so as to bring peace, and those who have a long way to go, will be reserved for the use of the third generation's descendants for a hundred years, and we rely on it today."

"Under Dad's rule, the population of our dynasty has reached more than 21 million people. There are 6000 billion mu of arable land."

"The wealthiest people among the people have tens of millions of wealth. They cannot be listed in this kind of world."

"Those with millions of fortunes gather from all walks of life, in all prefectures and counties. Those with one hundred thousand fortunes count in the tens of thousands. Those with tens of thousands of fortunes number no less than 200 million households."

There are only 200 million households with a lot of wealth. The wealth of the Song Dynasty can be seen in general.

It can be said that at least two tenths of the total population of Song Dynasty are in a state of absolute wealth.

And less than [-] guan does not mean poverty.

A farm owner's annual income is only a few hundred dollars.

So Zhao Huan said with relief: "Nearly [-]% of the people in the world are rich and prosperous. The wealth of our dynasty can be described as extremely."
