Increase production and serve the country!

In Daming, this is not just a slogan, but an action that must be practiced.

"Every Ming family has to have six children!"

Have six children, that's the minimum.

If possible, what's the point of having a football team?

As early as the Nanhua period, Emperor Zhu did everything possible to encourage immigrants to give birth. Not only did he give various housing benefits, but also to ensure the fertility rate, Nanhua built a second hospital, the Maternal and Child Hospital. Afterwards, every newly built city had to build There are two hospitals, one is the First Hospital and the other is the Women's and Children's Hospital. The latter is free for women to give birth.

Even in the "housing system" established by the government and the company, only married men can apply for rental housing, otherwise they can only buy commercial housing. Even as early as the Nanhua Company period, a special salary system was formulated-childcare allowance , Employees can receive an additional childcare allowance of 0.5 yuan for each child they give birth until the child reaches the age of fourteen.

You must know that in Daming, one yuan is basically a month's living expenses for many people. The childcare allowance of 0.5 yuan is almost equivalent to that Daming is helping his people raise their children.

But even so, Emperor Zhu didn't feel that the government was losing money.After all, through this kind of encouragement, the daimyo got the most precious manpower!

This is the most important.

And in order to solve the problem of the shortage of women, contract maids and contract women workers, of course, have been implementing the "labor introduction system" until now.

Why rack your brains to increase the marriage and childbirth rate.

In the final analysis, it is still due to insufficient population.

Daming is too big and the population is too small.

Especially in the early days of Nanhua, facing the danger of being invaded at any time, Emperor Zhu had to think about how many babies in Nanhua came to this world overnight after waking up every morning.

Later, after annexing Chile and Argentina, Emperor Zhu would wake up every morning and think about how many babies were born yesterday.

Of course, those were Hispanic and biracial babies.

Babies are productivity and fighting power.This is definitely not a question of ebb and flow, but a question of survival.

Fertility rate is the basis for Ming to gain a foothold in this land. If Ming wants to rule this land forever, it must have enough population.

What is the population of Daming now?

Twenty-three million!
That's right, at the end of 1874, the population of Ming Dynasty broke through the 2362 million mark for the first time, reaching an astonishing [-] million people.

Two years ago, Ming's population was only [-] million, of which [-] million were Hispanics, West Indians, and Indians.

What did Ming's population explosion come from?
Of course the birth rate.

In 1872, the Chinese population of Daming was 213 million newborns.

In 1873, the Chinese population of Daming was 301 million newborns.

In 1874, the Chinese population of Daming was 380 million newborns.

At the same time, the number of Chinese families in Daming is about to exceed the 400 million mark.In October this year, the number of immigrants exceeded 10 million, including 100 adult men, 61 women, and 32 children...

"Da Ming, there are still 100 million bachelors!"

Seeing the ever-increasing number of bachelors, Emperor Zhu was also very melancholy!

Can you not be sad.

Is a million bachelors a potential social security problem, but every year of delay means that Ming has one million fewer births!
"Honey, what's the worry?"

Looking at Zhu Xianhai who was frowning into a ball, Charlotte, the queen of the empire, walked to his side with a high protruding belly. This was her fifth pregnancy.

Emperor Zhu has always been responsible for himself. In the past few years, in addition to having four children with the queen, Elizabeth gave birth to him five, Marlena gave birth to him three, and Monica gave birth to him. Six were born to him, two to Maria, and even seven to several ladies-in-waiting of the palace or maids in the households of the wives.

As the father of twenty-seven children, no, he is about to have thirty children, Monica is pregnant again, and Song Bing, the Chinese teacher of Elizabeth's family.

In short, he, the emperor, is still conscientious, not someone who shouts slogans in vain.

"Sad man!"

Emperor Zhu frowned and said.

It's a sad person.

"Worry about the underpopulation!"

Looking at Charlotte's swollen belly, Emperor Zhu said while stroking it.

"Now the Quadruple Alliance has been established, but in the Quadruple Alliance, we are the weakest link. I am not referring to industry, but population. The population of France is only 3700 million people, and the population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is 3400 million people. , the most populous is the Russian Empire, they have a population of close to 9000 million, and the population...is the combat power!"

Once again, Emperor Zhu was a little jealous of Russia, there is no way, there are so many families!
Why, Germany will replace France as the most powerful country in Europe. Population is their biggest advantage. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out, the population of Germany has skyrocketed to 4100 million, while France has only 3600 million left.Since then, the population gap has continued to widen.Historically, by the eve of the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the birth rate in France had dropped to a terrible 18%, while that in Germany had remained at around 50% for a long time.Thus, Wilhelm II's empire was sitting on a population of 6690 million, while the opposing Third Republic had a measly 4000 million.

The population gap made France destined to fall into the ranks of second-class powers, and the population of nearly 7000 million was the reason why the Second German Empire dared to challenge the United Kingdom. At that time, the United Kingdom had only 4500 million people.

In the competition between big countries, industry and technology are important, but the population in the industrialized era is also a "non-renewable" precious resource.

"And what about us? There are only [-] million people!"

In Emperor Zhu's population calculation question, non-Chinese people will never be included. In fact, the reason why Ming Dynasty has not established a parliament until now is, in the final analysis, to prevent the proportion of non-Chinese population from being too large and occupying seats in the Congress.

Well, that's right.

The Ming Dynasty was a monarchy empire, or the kind with special officials.To fuck Congress.

"With such a small population, we really can't do anything. Any country in the alliance can crush us. I mean the population."

Charlotte, the empress of the Ming Empire, immediately rolled her eyes when she saw her husband's dull look when he mentioned population.

"Forget it. A few months ago, I remember that Zuo Zongtang happily said that the population structure of Ming Dynasty was good, and the adult population was far better than that of European countries. Didn't you still agree with it at that time?" "Uh... "

His wife's words made Emperor Zhu dumb.

Indeed, to a certain extent, the population structure of Ming Dynasty is indeed very good. After all, in the past 14 years, most of the people who immigrated to Ming Dynasty were young and middle-aged people, and almost none of the immigrants were over 45 years old. There is no one who meets the retirement standard, and there are only a handful of people over the age of fifty.

How many adults over the age of 16 and under the age of 50 are there in Daming now... 920 million!
And 90% of them are young and middle-aged men and women under the age of [-]. Based on this calculation, the population situation of Ming Dynasty is indeed not that severe.

"That's different. After all, my Ming Dynasty is really vast and sparsely populated! South America has 340 million square kilometers, and North America has more than 380 million square kilometers. It is also a big country with a land area of ​​700 million square kilometers and a population of only [-] million. Not enough to watch!"

The underpopulation of the Ming Dynasty must be directly related to the vast land and the scarcity of people. Emperor Zhu selectively ignored the reality that most of the land in Alasla, the Northwest Region, and the Beihai region was uncultivable.

"Who said, 600 million families, [-] million births a year, [-] million people in five years, [-] million immigrants in five years, [-] million families, [-] million children, [-] Within a year, the population will exceed [-] million..."

Smiling at the emperor who was worried about population, Charlotte said.

"In-laws, as the emperor, you should consider the education of millions or even tens of millions of newborns every year in the next few years. After all, the Ming Empire implements compulsory education!"
