I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 717, population issues

"Sell this thing to me, I am willing to spend 100 million yuan to buy this patent!" Wu Min said anxiously when he knew it was a new machine.

Buying patents is already a very common thing to do in the big business. Of course, this kind of thing mainly depends on the vision. If you buy a good patent, you can make a lot of money. This is not uncommon in Jidu. This patent is useless, and that is a waste of money.

Wu Min can confirm the patent of this radiator, which is definitely a powerful weapon.Jidu is good for everything, but the winter is too cold. If it is not for the help of the heated kang, many people would not be able to survive the winter.

Obviously, the practicability of this heating system is stronger than that of a kang. If you buy this patent, not to mention other places, even a person who has installed a heating system is enough for him to pay back.

But Guo Jiajie said with a calm smile: "It's not that I don't want to give my brother this face. I just said clearly that this heating furnace was made by a group of students from the School of Mechanical Engineering led by the government. The patent is not in my hands at all. How could it be sold to you?" , Brother Wu, if you really want this heating patent, you can go to the ruling party to buy it!"

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Wu Min and the others could only smile awkwardly.There is no mention of purchasing patents anymore. This is a machine developed by the ruling party. If he proposes to purchase patents, it is not a solicitation.

Guo Jia clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I won't chat any more, this time I'm looking for you brothers, it's a fortune-making business, I need you brothers to do it!"

"Did you find gold or silver in Crab Island?"

Crab Island is a remote place, what kind of business can make a fortune?

In everyone's impression, Crab Island is just logs and sulfur mines worth some money. I haven't heard of any special products!

But thinking that Treasure Island is near Crab Island, maybe Cao Cao had a good run and discovered gold and silver mines, so these people asked this question.

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "I really discovered a gold and silver mine, and my lord didn't even have time to mine it myself, so how could I distribute it to you brothers!"

Wu Min said strangely: "Since no minerals have been discovered, what else do you have on Crab Island? It is impossible to buy and sell people, this is something that the ruling government severely cracks down on. I don't want to be imprisoned by the big money court!
They thought about it. Apart from logs and sulfur mine specialties, Crab Island also had some savages. In recent years, Cao Cao has sent 10 savages to work in Youzhou and Liaodong every year. It is said that they have made a lot of money!

Guo Jia laughed and said, "We don't dare to do things that violate Dagan's laws and regulations. Naturally, it can't be some kind of human trafficking!"

"Do you feel that the business environment in Jidu is especially unfriendly to businessmen like us. Over the years, the wages of big workers have been getting higher and higher."

Guo Jia's words immediately reached their hearts.

"That's not the case. There has never been a dynasties that have treated workers so well like this dynasty. Not to mention food and housing, the monthly salary has to be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it has to be increased every year. Otherwise, they will not be able to stay. People, welfare benefits are also indispensable, vegetables are eaten in winter, cold melon and ice water are eaten in summer. That's all for a powerful family, and it's unprecedented for a worker to be so precious!"

Another person also complained: "Is there any way? If you don't pay a little bit better, you can't recruit people at all. Now there is no shortage of manpower. Not long ago, during the autumn harvest, the rural areas recruited wheat harvesters, and it cost 100 people a day. Money, those who work harder can earn 3000 yuan a month, which is worth three or four months’ salary in our factory.”

The countryside today is not what it used to be. Everyone has become a small landlord with plenty of money in their hands. If we don't improve welfare benefits, we can't even grab these people. "

The power of the land equalization order began to gradually appear in Dagan villages. Every household of ordinary people has 100 mu of land, and the income of these lands is [-] to [-] yuan a year. The annual income is roughly around [-] to [-] yuan. On average, it is not much worse than working in the city. In addition, in recent years, the contracting projects of orchards have been opened up. Ordinary people can contract orchards in the form of village teams. Therefore, the income of rural people in Dagan is even higher.

If it weren't for the good living conditions in Dagan cities, complete infrastructure, abundant supplies, and numerous entertainment venues.This person's city has crushed the countryside both in terms of spiritual life and material life. Otherwise, the attraction of the population in the city is really not as good as that in the countryside.

Wu Min also complained: "Where have all the people gone now? In the days of the Han Dynasty, which state didn't have tens of millions of refugees, and every year there were people who couldn't survive rebelling. Now it's all right, the world has only just been pacified , there is a shortage of people everywhere.”

Businessman Deng Rui said strangely: "Not long ago, the imperial court counted the population of the entire Dagan, and there are tens of millions of households, nearly 5 million people, which is not much worse than the population of the Han court at the time. Why is the population so short now? , no one can be found anywhere.

This is also where many people are confused. The Han court counted the household registration about 60 years ago. At that time, there were about 1000 million households in the country with a population of more than 5400 million.

And the Dagan court also counted the population once when the world was just unified. There were more than 1000 million household registrations in the world, and the population was slightly less, only about 4600 million.

But at the same time, the imperial court also counted the number of newborns. Every year, the Dagan imperial court has more than 300 million newborns. Although it is not known how many people die every year, there are not many people who died of freezing in winter these years. It should not be many.If it goes on like this, even if only less than three years have passed, the population of Dagan should have exceeded 5000 million, which is not much worse than the original Dahan. Why can't we find people doing things everywhere?
Hearing these people's words, Guo Jia smiled lightly and said, "Now the Dagan imperial court has a population of nearly 5 million, which is really the only population. Although it seems that the number is the same in the Han Dynasty, it is actually a big difference. In addition, everyone has experienced this chaotic world. Back then, there were not millions of big men, and millions of dead people. Now it has only been peaceful for a few years. How could the population recover so quickly?"

Now there are tens of millions of households in Dagan, but it is because of the relationship with the land. The land equalization order allows one farmer to get 100 mu of land. At the beginning, the common people separated their families in order to get more land. Now many families have two people or even There are three people, so it seems that there are many people with household registration, but in fact there are very few people.

At that time, Dahan had to pay poll tax. In order to pay less money, many people could only reduce the number of people in their household registration, and Dahan’s powerful clans did not pay tax, just like Yuan’s family is also a family. , but I'm afraid the Yuan family has more than a few hundred members.

Not to mention that during the period of the Han Dynasty, the grassroots government offices had been paralyzed. There were no statistics on how many refugees there were among the people, and there were no statistics on how many Nanman and Beidi people were in the territory of the Han Dynasty. My younger brother estimated that the real population at the end of the Han Dynasty was much larger than the population counted by the court. If the current population of Damo and Nanban is included, the original population of this land may be close to [-] million.

Although the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty was not violent, the world was unified by Lei Gong after only a dozen years of fighting. However, in just a few years, the number of people who died in the whole world was close to 5 million, half of them. People died in wars, plagues, and famines. "
