The System Made Me a Fool

　　"This..." The man was immediately speechless.

　　"As for your harassment by Japanese pirates, it's even more nonsense. It's a model of giving up food because of choking. The sea ban policy at the time of the founding of the country played a role in stabilizing the political situation to a certain extent. But now the country's situation is basically stable, which is different from that of that time. The situation is very different. Opening the sea ban and going to sea for trade are naturally accompanied by risks, but compared with the tens of millions of taels of silver that these bring every year, what is it?"

　　The minister blushed and said: "The great scholar is not right. The sages of ancient times have all said that they value righteousness over profit. Your Majesty is the king of a country, so how can you take interests so seriously."

　　Wang Meng snorted coldly: "Governing a country and self-cultivation are fundamentally two different things. Your Majesty's emphasis on benefits is also for the people of the world. If you give up profits, wouldn't you give up the interests of the people? Water can carry a boat and capsize it, Your Excellency, forget it. Yet?"

　　At this time, Yan Ge saw that Wang Meng and the minister were almost arguing, so he said: "Okay, don't argue. Wang Meng's words are very reasonable, this matter is settled like this, don't worry about it. Say it again!"

　　So the other ministers who still wanted to speak had to hold back their words.

　　In fact, these measures mentioned by Yan Ge can bring huge income to the country. No one has any doubts about this matter.

　　The problem is that some people read too much, and even think that it is a sin for the country to make money, so the root is still in the mind.

　　Yan Ge asked, "What else do you have to report?"

　　At this time, Lin Song said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has an idea."

　　Yan Ge frowned, thinking that the old man was going to sing the opposite of what happened just now.

　　Unexpectedly, Lin Song coughed a few times and said in an old voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is highly regarded by you and can take on the important task of Situ. In his position, he seeks his government. Since the old minister is in this position, naturally there are some targets against our country. I want to seek His Majesty's opinion for the consideration of population policy."

　　Hearing Lin Song's words, Yan Ge's eyes lit up: "Elder Lin, please speak."

　　"At the end of the Liang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and Shenzhou was in chaos, causing the world's population to drop sharply. After the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, although Emperor Taiwu adopted a series of strategies to restore the population, due to a series of natural disasters, military chaos and other reasons, the population of our country has remained constant for decades. Staying around 8000 million people and not going any further."

　　"Now that His Majesty has regained power, cleaned up officials, saw auspiciousness, and reformed the economy, it was the time for Longtu's great cause. The old minister believed that corresponding policies should be formulated to encourage fertility and increase the number of households.

　　After all, the matter of manpower is a century-old plan of the country, and it will take a long time to take effect. Your Majesty is young now, so take this opportunity to set a plan for the future. When Your Majesty is in his prime, my country will be prosperous and strong, and the population will be prosperous. When you swing your whip across the universe! "

　　"Okay!" Hearing Lin Song's words, Yan Ge couldn't help but get excited and stood up excitedly.This opinion put forward by Lin Song is right in his heart,

　　Lin Song continued: "Your Majesty, the measures to promote population development drafted by the old minister are as follows."

　　"One is the birth reward. When a woman in the Great Wei Dynasty is about to give birth, she can report it to the local government, and the local government will send a special person to assist the delivery to ensure that the women can give birth smoothly."

　　"If a male is successfully born, the household will be rewarded with two pots of wine and a dog. If a female is born, the reward will be two pots of wine and a pig."

　　"If a family can have more than three children, the local government needs to hire a wet nurse to help it raise them. If a family has more than four children, it will be rewarded with three pieces of Gebu and one husk of food. In short, the more children born, the reward. more."

　　Yan Ge agreed that this is the opposite of the modern family planning policy, and it will have a very good effect on stimulating fertility.

　　"Second, create conditions for reproduction."

　　"All idle women in society, such as singers, widows, etc., need to be registered by local household registration managers and organize matchmakers to match up with local single men."

　　"If there are those who can't be matched, a special room will be built for them to combine with bachelors, and their children can be raised by the government. If it is found that the in-law's family forbids widows from remarrying, each will beat his in-laws twenty willows!"

　　Be obedient, Yan Ge said in his heart, this ancient man is really outrageous. This second item is simply to make women of the right age have more children, and those who dare to block will be severely punished.

　　"The third is to ensure the quality of the population. Make the strong people not take old women, let the old people not marry strong wives, women who do not marry at [-], their parents are guilty, and husbands who do not marry at [-], their parents are guilty!"

　　Hearing this, Yan Ge was completely convinced.What does this mean? It is to advocate early marriage and early childbearing, eugenics and eugenics. Modern demographers have been tinkering with things for a long time, but this old man has already seen it in his heart.I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy!

　　"Fourth..."

　　"Stop, Mr. Lin, you don't need to say it, you are the Situ, in charge of the household registration of the whole world, you can do what you say, and I have the power to support it. I just need to see that fifteen years later, I will be full of people in Dawei. That's it!" Yan Ge waved his hand.

　　"Old minister obeys!" Lin Song knelt down and kowtowed with satisfaction.Although he was sometimes dissatisfied with Yan Ge's absurd moves, the emperor never lost his mind on these key decisions!

Chapter 60 Let You Know

　　After the meeting, Yan Ge left Ge Jianzhang alone.

　　"Ge Aiqing, what do you think this is?" Yan Ge brought Ge Jianzhang to the palace's inner vault. When the vault door was opened, thousands of bags of seeds were densely packed inside!

　　Ge Jianzhang took out a few tree seeds and put them in his hands to examine them. He saw that they were all crystal clear, very different from normal ordinary mulberry seeds.

　　"Your Majesty, this is?" Ge Jianzhang asked in surprise.

　　Yan Ge smiled and said: "Ge Aiqing, this tree species is called 'Changsheng Daye Mulberry Tree'. The mulberry leaves can be picked in three months after planting, and can be planted anywhere in Dawei. Its fruit is plump and sweet, and its yield is several times that of ordinary mulberry trees. Its mulberry leaves are also generous and tender, which are suitable for feeding silkworms.”

　　"What! There is such a miraculous tree species!" Ge Jianzhang was stunned, he couldn't understand how much economic value such a mulberry tree with abnormal growth speed would have.

　　Yan Ge patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there is something else for you to see."

　　Saying that, Yan Ge brought Ge Jianzhang to the Tianxing jacquard machine he ordered the craftsmen to build according to the drawings, and ordered a textile worker to demonstrate it in front of Ge Jianzhang on the spot.

　　So our Lord of Yishangshu was stunned to watch the super-fast weaving process of the man using the Tianxing jacquard machine.

　　"Ge Aiqing, if there is such a thing, how much can I increase the production of cotton cloth in Wei?" Yan Ge asked.

　　Ge Jianzhang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if this machine can be produced, every family in the Wei family will have no worries about dressing. I just don't know if this kind of magic machine can be built into a second machine?"

　　Yan Ge laughed and said, "Ge Aiqing, what do you think this is?"

　　After saying that he took out the design drawings of the Tianxing jacquard machine from his arms, Ge Jianzhang believed that this thing could really be built in batches.

　　"Ge Jianzhang obeys the order!" Yan Ge ordered.

　　"The minister is here."

　　"From now on, you will set up a silk branch in the Textile Bureau, and promote the planting of the long-great mulberry tree species in the important silkworm breeding areas of Dawei. You must show me that this thing has spread all over the mountains and fields in three months. Then start to expand. The scale of silk fabric manufacturing will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

　　"As for the construction drawings of the Tianxing jacquard machine, you immediately organize the mass production of artisans. Be sure to have sufficient machines in the fastest time, and then hire labor to spin cotton on a large scale, so that I can see cotton like linen as soon as possible. An easy-to-get event!"

　　"I obey my orders!"

　　Ge Jianzhang took the order and left.Yan Ge silently opened the system mall panel.Today's reminder from Lin Song made him notice something he had overlooked before, and that is the importance of population in a feudal country!

　　In modern society, due to the popularization of automation and the high-level development of science and technology, the relationship between population and productivity has been narrowed a lot. Therefore, the strength of a country is often related to its population.

　　Less has nothing to do with half a dime.

　　Even an overpopulation can become a drag on national progress.

　　Poor countries such as Nepal and Mengala are dragged to death by excessive population.

　　But in the feudal society, due to the general low productivity, the population base has almost become one of the decisive factors for the prosperity of the country!

　　For example, if the population of the current Great Wei increased five times, then in the simplest terms, the tax revenue would be increased five times, and the army would also be increased five times. !

　　Worry about the crisis in the north!

　　Think about it, even in modern society, doesn't China's rapid development coincide with China's demographic dividend?

　　Lin Song's plan is indeed very useful to promote the population growth of Dawei, but the problem is that the payoff period is too long.Even if Lin Song's policies are fully implemented within a year, the population that started to soar this year will not be transformed into productive forces until at least fifteen years later.That is to say, it will take about twenty years before the effect of Dawei's population growth can be realized!

　　The period of fifteen to twenty years was a little long for Yan Ge. He vaguely remembered that when he first flipped through the system mall, he had seen props to increase the population.

　　Sure enough, Yan Ge found a prop called "Ren Ding Xing Wang Card" in the system mall.

　　【People's Prosperity Card】

　　Class A items

　　Redemption consumption: 8000 points

　　Effect: Country population increases by 10%

　　(Restriction: The maximum number of people's prosperity cards of each level that can be used within one year is three)

　　The effect of the Rending Xingwang card is simple and rude, and it can directly increase the population of the country by 10%, and the A-level card only needs 8000 points, which can be said to be extremely cost-effective.

　　Unfortunately, the limit is also very clear, only a maximum of three cards can be used in a year.

　　In addition to A-level, the highest level of Rending Xingwang card is S-level, the effect is to increase the population by 20%, and the point consumption is 1.5, which is basically equivalent to using two A-level cards together.

　　Yan Ge made a rough calculation. If he uses 1 S card and 2 A cards a year, the population of Dawei will increase by 6.5 times in just five years, and the population of Dawei will directly exceed five [-] million!

　　Combined with Lin Song's policy of encouraging childbirth, Da Wei will not worry about population issues from now on!

　　Of course, the only limiting factor for population development is food production. If the population really increases by 6.5 times within five years, with the current level of land and food cultivation, then a terrible famine is bound to await the people of the world.

　　Therefore, when you want to use Dingxingwangka in the future, you must make sure that the supporting food production can keep up.

Chapter 61 The Mission Is Finally Completed

　　Yan Ge checked it and found that his current accumulated stupor value plus points are just enough to exchange for an A-level Rending Xingwang card, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and changed one to try it out.

　　Then there was a flash of white light, and Yan Ge used the Rending Xingwang Card!

　　Suddenly, many men and women of different ages appeared silently in the whole territory of Dawei. No one questioned where they came from, as if everyone should have appeared there.

　　The population of Dawei has increased by 10%!

　　……

　　After exchanging the Rending Xingwang card with satisfaction, Yan Ge remembered that he still had a beauty card in his hand that was useless!

　　When this fellow was thinking about poisoning which beauties in history, Xu Kun, the palm print of the East Factory, was outside begging for a meeting.

　　"Eunuch Xu, what's the matter?"

　　"Your Majesty, the old slave asked you for instructions, what should the Zhou family do?" Xu Kun asked.

　　Yan Ge made a gesture of beheading: "Of course, it's a special!"

　　"Wait a minute, have you found out that there is any deeper involvement behind the Zhou family?"

　　Yan Ge always felt that the Zhou family only tried to discredit the emperor for Zhou Han's sake. Although it made sense, it felt a little far-fetched, so let Xu Kun see if he could dig out other people.

　　Xu Kun said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has checked in many ways, but I really can't find anything behind the Zhou family. They also insisted that no one else was involved in the torture of the Zhou family. It was their own idea, so the old slave tended to think that they had The defamation of His Majesty's organization is spontaneous."

　　"Yeah." Yan Ge nodded noncommittally, "You step back first, I'll consider this matter."

　　You can't even ask the Dongchang prison guard, is there really nothing else to dig out?

　　wrong!Yan Ge thought that in addition to punishment, there is another way to make a man tell the truth.That is beauty, and it needs to be a peerless beauty!

　　At this time, Yan Ge touched the beauty card in his pocket, and after playing with so many beauties, it was time for him to create a beauty tool specially used for beauties.

　　Of course, this beauty plan is not for Xia Ji to personally attend, but for her to select some girls from the brothels in various places who have been in the scene for many years and cultivate them.

　　It is obviously better to let the brothel women complete some special tasks.

　　……

　　So he was absent, holding the beauty card in his hand, and silently reciting a name in his heart.
