Chapter 965 Ming's Population Crisis

Chapter 965 The Population Crisis of Ming Dynasty (Second Update, please subscribe)
Every imperialist has his stand!
This is a fact that no one can avoid.

Even the hardcore "Huaxia Party" like Zuo Zongtang gave priority to the interests of the Ming Empire when facing the direct interests of the Ming Dynasty.

The decrease in immigration will affect the interests of Daming, so how could Emperor Zhu not know about it?

"Immigration is definitely going to be affected."

Emperor Zhu nodded and said.

"Immigration has been the lifeline of Ming Dynasty for many years, and it is also the capital of Ming Dynasty's rise. However, the old thinking must be changed. We can't just focus on China. Maybe Chinese immigrants are the source of labor for my Ming Dynasty, but now my population of Daming Not a lot, after all, we have the best population composition ratio in the world - most of them are young and middle-aged! Our population born in a year is even more than the sum of England, Germany and France!"

"Ying Jiu, what was the population of newborns in the empire last year?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there are more than 550 million people!"

Wang Youling's answer made Emperor Zhu look quite complacent, and his heart was full of pride.You know, at this time, the annual birth population in Germany is only 170 million, and France is only more than 140 million. As for the UK, it can't catch up with France!
This is only the native land, and does not include the vast African colonies.The current birth population of Ming Dynasty is almost equal to the sum of Russia and France, or the sum of America and Germany.

And all this thanks to what?
Of course, it was Daming's extremely excellent population composition—most of them were young and middle-aged.

Over the past 20 years, the main force of immigration every year has been young adults aged 15-45. They are not only the labor force of the prime of life, but also the main force of fertility.A good living and working environment, coupled with all kinds of official encouragement - even direct payment of money to encourage, has resulted in the birth rate of Ming Dynasty has always been at an extremely high level.

Unlike Nanhua Town, which only had more than 20 people 1000 years ago, Daming now has a population of 5700 million ethnic Chinese!And half of them are newborns in the past 20 years.

And that's not counting the colonies!
"550 million!"

Emperor Zhu said.

"In terms of new population, only China in the world can surpass us, and even Russia cannot compare with us. A large population of childbearing age will inevitably bring about a large population growth. The population of Ming Dynasty is entering a period of rapid growth. Therefore, in the future, rather than introducing immigrants, what we need more is to consider the work of the new generation of youth in our country. What is the purpose of the colonies we have established today, including the twelve northern provinces? It is to prevent our future generations from Worry about living space!"

People without foresight must have near-term worries. In fact, when he learned that the population of newborns in the Ming Dynasty exceeded 500 million, Emperor Zhu knew that the "population crisis" of the Ming Empire had been resolved.

What does 500 million births each year mean?
Ten years is 5000 million!
Of course, this baby boom won't last.When the immigrants in the 1865-1880s entered middle age or became old, the birth peak would decline, but even if it continued to decline, what is certain is that ten years later, Ming Dynasty would become the country after China and Russia. There are only three countries with a population of over [-] million. As for India... it is not a country at all.

Twenty years later, at the beginning of the new century, the population of Ming Dynasty will reach 20 million. By the middle of the new century, the population of Chinese descendants in Ming Dynasty will reach 1.3 million. There is no suspense.

The only question is, can Daming's land support such a large population?

The answer is yes!

Because Daming owns the earliest vast land in the world.Let alone [-] million, even doubling it would not be a problem.

But at that time, there may still be tens of millions of Europeans and Europeans and Indians in Ming Dynasty. This is no problem. They will eventually be assimilated into Ming Dynasty, just like the current Northern Twelve Provinces—that is, the former Brazilian region. There are 600 million Europeans and European-Indian and European-African mixed blood living here. In the past few years, their future is very simple, that is, to become subjects of the empire.

It's just a mere 600 million people, and they will definitely be diluted into the huge population base of the empire.Of course, they will also affect Ming Dynasty, just like Argentina's tango, and Brazil's samba will also become a local characteristic dance of Ming Dynasty in the future. The mutual influence and convergence of cultures is inevitable.

"Immigration, for Daming now, is no longer a matter of life and death like it used to be! Therefore, we have to start adjusting some policies."

Pursing his lips, Emperor Zhu walked slowly to the window, stood by the window of the palace, and when he stared out of the window, he could no longer see the broad Xin'an River, but a piece of lush grass and a garden with a unique landscape.

This is the biggest difference between Zhongdu Palace and Yingtian Palace.

In Yingtian, looking out from the window, you can see the Xin'an River, which is as wide as the sea, but what about here in Zhongdu?It's green, it's...

At the beginning of last year, after three years of intensive construction and construction, when the first phase of the Zhongdu project was basically completed, Emperor Zhu ordered the capital to be moved. Everyone knew the reason for the Ming’s capital move—in order to completely annex Brazil. , Emperor Zhu never denied it.

After all, the purpose of occupying Brazil is for expansion, for the living space of the Chinese nation.

Staring at the garden outside the window, Emperor Zhu continued.

"For example, the threshold for native immigrants in the empire should be raised appropriately. The threshold for overseas provinces and overseas colonies can remain unchanged. However, the principle of attracting Chinese immigrants will not change. This is a basic matter of principle, just like some of our current Outstanding young people can go to Huaxia, and outstanding young people from Huaxia can also come to us, choose..."

Staring out the window, Emperor Zhu thought of another world. A large number of outstanding European scholars flocked to the United States during World War I and World War II. For them, the United States is a choice.

"When they encounter injustice in their own country, when they suffer blows in their own country, they can come to Daming, or go back to China, and they can contribute their intelligence and talents in another familiar country, for China, not for outsiders ..."

Turning around, Emperor Zhu looked at Zuo Zongtang, Wang Youling and the others with a smile.

"Just like Aiqing, what I want to give them is the power to choose - in today's world, not only the ruler chooses the ministers, but the ministers also choose the ruler."

Facing His Majesty's gaze, Zuo Zongtang smiled.

"Your Majesty, from my point of view, if given a choice, they would prefer to choose Daming!"

"Not necessarily, isn't there a lot of people who choose to go back to Huaxia?"

Wang Youling said with emotion.

"Many young people are always full of ideals and ambitions. In the Xinghan Army, there are many young officers who grew up in Ming Dynasty!"
