The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was born, and my immortal identity was exposed

Chapter 85 Let’s not talk about it, let’s create a human first (please collect, please recommend!!!)

The ancients were a little afraid of the power of nature.

Storms, thunderbolts, meteorites falling from the sky...

Because they didn't understand the laws behind it, they imagined all kinds of fairy tales and ghosts, giving them a layer of mystery.

And from Jiang Sheng's mouth, the hundred-foot-tall building, the dam blocking the river, and the bridge across the river...

All this made Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Meng Yi and Wang Ben yearn for it.

This is a transformation of nature, a miracle made by man.

Jiang Sheng still has a lot to say.

Up to nine days to grasp the moon, down to five oceans to catch turtles.

The footsteps of human exploration have even rushed out of the solar system.

The Voyager [-] and [-] probes are still wandering in the boundless universe.

Perhaps one day, the earth civilization will be introduced to the whole universe.

All of this is beyond the imagination of these ancient people in front of them.

But Jiang Sheng knows the truth of accepting what is good, and the popularization of science does not happen overnight.

The ancients had already formed their own worldview, and it would only be counterproductive to say so much hastily.

The main purpose of saying this now is to arouse the interest of the two emperors, Ying Zheng and Li Shimin.

For a strong country, infrastructure is a must.

Building high-rise buildings can solve the problem of population and housing in the future.

In Jiang Sheng's view, in the era of the two emperors in front of them, population was a big problem.

In the Qin Dynasty, not to mention, the population was just over 2000 million.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was not as good as Yingzheng at the moment, with more than 1000 million.

Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the population was only 300 million at its peak.

Just like the real-time strategy games he had played, the population had to be created first at the beginning, otherwise how would it develop?

Lao Zhao and Lao Li want to conquer the world, how can they do it with a population of tens of millions?

The construction of water conservancy can solve the drought and flood disasters and ensure the harvest of crops.

With food, the stability of the country can be guaranteed.

Everyone is hungry and want to attack other countries?It's fine if you don't start an uprising.

As for the cross-river bridge, it's all a matter of later.

It is the same as the highway, which facilitates the communication between regions and reduces transportation costs.

"Hey, I'll test you." Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "What is the most important thing if you want to build these?"

Wang Ben laughed: "Master Immortal, you stopped talking just now, it's cement! We need to develop cement!"

Meng Yi also asked tentatively: "Could it be the steel bar? The immortal master also said that the cement needs to be matched with the steel bar to build such a majestic sight."

"No, no!" Jiang Sheng shook his head.

Ying Zheng and Li Shimin looked at each other, and said in unison, "It's manpower!"

clap clap clap!
Jiang Sheng clapped his hands: "He's the emperor after all, that's right!"

Going around and around, the topic came back again.

Ying Zheng sighed: "All the buildings I ordered to be built before require a lot of manpower, let alone those that the immortal master said?"

Li Shimin felt sorry for him: "That's right, the population of the Tang Dynasty is declining now, and what I want to do is also very limited."

In ancient times, population growth was a difficult problem.

Hunger, disease, and war have all greatly affected the population.

As early as the Warring States period and even the Western Zhou Dynasty, some vassal states issued policies to ensure marriage and childbirth.

For example, giving material rewards to those who bear children, or stipulating how old they must be before marriage and childbearing.

In the Qin Dynasty, marriage and childbirth were also a major event.

Men who are six feet five inches tall can marry, and women who are six feet two inches tall can marry.

And once the marriage is formed, it will be protected by law.

If a man and a woman commit adultery, both parties will be considered a crime.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Law also has the shadow of men superior to women, it also restricts the power of husbands.

If the husband commits domestic violence, it is illegal and can be punished.

Compared with the three obediences and four virtues of later generations, the husband guides the wife, it is somewhat better.

There were also regulations in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records:

In the early years of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong "declared that men of [-] and women of [-] or above who have no husbands and families should be married with gifts from the prefectures and counties;

Look, if you can't get married, the country will find a way to help you solve it.

But even with such policies related to marriage and childbirth, the effect is not satisfactory.

Jiang Sheng threw out another shocking thunder: "Lao Zhao and Lao Li, the descendants of China, when the population was the largest, there were 14 million!"

He has learned his lesson this time. The unit of billions has different interpretations in different periods, and it is easy to use tens of millions as billions. The two people in front of them can easily understand it.

"What? 14 million!" Ying Zheng exclaimed.

Li Shimin's face was full of disbelief: "Is this too much?"

Meng Yi and Wang Ben opened their mouths, unable to speak.

"So, you have to work hard to increase the population, not to mention the large number, first set a small goal, ten million!"

Ying Zheng smiled wryly: "The fairy teacher said it quite simply."

Li Shimin also said melancholy: "Humans are not livestock, so they are born when they are born."

They were actually very moved by Jiang Sheng's words. With such a large population, they could easily form an army.

When it comes to war, just pile up can kill those opponents.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I don't want you to create so many people overnight." Jiang Sheng said with a smile: "This is a long-term strategy for you, just take it slowly."

"I also ask the immortal master to teach me!" Ying Zheng and Li Shimin said one after another.

"If you want to increase the population, the first thing is to let the people have enough food and clothing."

"If the seeds I give you continue to be planted, they will definitely be able to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people, so I won't mention this issue for now."

"Besides, it's not that the common people don't want to have children, the main reason is that the price is too high."

"First, the tax issue. After pregnancy, it is difficult for a woman to engage in labor, and paying taxes has become a big problem."

"So, I want you to reduce taxes appropriately."

In fact, regardless of ancient times or modern times, the cost of having children is an important issue restricting fertility.

Regardless of the ancient taxes, there are still various hidden costs in modern times.

School district room, cram school...

All of this is on the heads of the parents. If there is a mine at home, who would dare to live longer?
Ying Zheng and Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully.

With the seeds Jiang Sheng gave them now, the increase in food production is inevitable, and there is no need to worry that the treasury of the Great Qin and Great Tang will become empty.

Furthermore, economic construction will definitely be carried out in the future. When commerce develops, business taxes will inevitably increase.

What's more, there are banknotes as a means of cutting leeks!
"Secondly, in the era you live in, the medical conditions are backward, and it is too dangerous to have a child, and it is easy to lose the size."

"This is easy to solve. Medical skills must be developed. I will teach you some basic medical knowledge in the future."

"In addition, it is necessary to prevent early marriage and early childbearing!"

"Ah?" The four people present were confused, what's the reason?
What about increasing the population?
