Among the officials in the entire court, 60% of them were from the same place and were from fellow townsmen. What kind of scene would this be?

Lujiang has truly enjoyed the benefits of the Jiangnan Army's new policy, and it can be said that it is the most comprehensive implementation of the Jiangnan Army. Today, the people of Lujiang have truly supported the Jiangnan Army like everyone else.

Once this group of people enters the officialdom, both the court and the local forces will inevitably be greatly tilted towards the Jiangnan Army under the influence of these new governors. At that time, as long as the Jiangnan Army did not make major policy mistakes, the forces in the Han Dynasty will definitely be as solid as a decisive thing.

What's more, for the entire Jiangnan, it will have to occupy at least 20% of the quota. If 80% of the officials are from Jiangnan, the court will only be controlled by the people of Jiangnan. Even if the emperor wants to deal with the people of Jiangnan, he is afraid he will be powerless.

What's more, behind these Jiangnan officials, there must be a Jiangnan army with strong combat power standing armed to the teeth.

It seemed like Sun Ce was just a trivial matter, but Emperor Xian, who was not sure, could only nod and agree in confusion. After all, this officialdom and place really needed a large number of officials to operate. Even if it was a temporary selection, someone had to do it.

"Fourth important matter, issue an edict to the world to encourage childbirth! All married couples of appropriate age in the Han Dynasty are encouraged to work hard to give birth. Is there a heavy reward for families with more children? Each child will be given a corresponding food subsidy every year until he is sixteen years old!

Moreover, this law must be used as the basic law and must not be changed for thirty years. After thirty years, we will correct it as appropriate depending on the situation!"

During yesterday's discussion, Sun Ce heard what Li Ru reported that Jiangnan had only added less than 300,000 newborns last year, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

In Sun Ce's thought, most of the more than 4 million people in Jiangnan were refugees who had gone through war and various disasters. Most of the people who could escape into Jiangnan alive were strong young and middle-aged people, and they were the right-age population for childbirth.

Under the policy of encouraging childbirth in Jiangnan, at least one million newborns should be added to Jiangnan every year. You should know that even if one million newborns can be born every year from now on, it will take nearly twenty years to restore the population of the Han Dynasty to 20 million.

With such a low population base, if you want to increase the population of Han Dynasty explosively, you have to wait until these children grow up before you can achieve it.

But the new population of only more than 200,000 is only a year. When will it take to return to 20 million? This made Sun Ce almost unbelievable, and he asked repeatedly with a dark face. Even if only half of these people can have children, what will the 700,000 couples do?

After Li Ru and Zhou Yu explained, Sun Ce realized that giving birth is a big deal for each family, and it cannot be given birth by just talking nonsense. It is the limit for a couple to have one child in a year, and no one can skip the process of ten months of pregnancy.

Furthermore, the refugees who have just arrived in Jiangnan are mostly men and fewer women. Many men cannot find the corresponding woman to get married. If you want to have children, you must have enough women. It is impossible for a bachelor man to get a child facing the wall.

But this just settled life has made most men busy rebuilding their homes. In order to make money to support their families, many men have left their wives and engaged in long-term work such as going out to open land, building roads, building canals, and doing business.

Li Ru thought that it was already too much for more than 200,000 newborns last year. If there was no policy to encourage childbirth, I was afraid that this number would shrink by at least half. After all, women who are pregnant will have to reduce their labor force at least half.

It also has a great impact on the recovery of a family's living standards. Although the subsidies from the Jiangnan Army can make the whole family live without worries, someone will always have to feed and teach them when giving birth. This greatly restricts the energy of a family.

Anyway, the policy of encouraging childbirth in Jiangnan Army will not change. Many people think that they can make their lives better and more comfortable before enjoying this free child-raising plan in the government.

This is simply inconsistent with Sun Ce's original intention to vigorously increase the population. After all, the resources that the Han Dynasty lacks most now are the population. However, with various restrictions, it is useless for Sun Ce to be anxious alone.

But he immediately gave Zhou Yu a new order. A man who is a man who is about to get married at the age of 16 will be married. If he is over the age of 18, the government will arrange for the man to get married. However, there is still something to talk about eugenics and good parenting.

The men arranged by the government must be strong. As for whether they are handsome or not, only God knows. Anyway, there are many men today, only women are short.

This order was issued, among the nine thousand beauties brought back by Sun Quan from Nanyue, as long as the woman who had not yet married was arranged to get married, she was immediately assigned to marry. There was no way, everything was based on the population development of the Han Dynasty. No one can do much.

Therefore, this article must be mentioned as the important matter that Emperor Xian wants to approve. After all, the efforts of Jiangnan are not as effective as the entire Han population.

Every time Emperor Xian recited one, the ministers in the hall opened their mouths. No one had thought of these policies. Everyone knew that the population of the Han Dynasty had decreased dramatically in the past thirty years.

There are many people who complain about the world, but no one has ever thought about the trick of encouraging childbirth to restore the population. Even if someone thinks about it, he dare not say it. He has no food in his hands, so he naturally has no confidence in his words!

Is it really necessary to give birth to many people but there is no corresponding food supply. Will the newborn children starve to death? That is really a tragedy of human ethics. Can the Han Dynasty survive? Unless the sun really comes out from the west.

Zhong Yao, who was afraid that Sun Ce would cause trouble, asked Li Ru with some doubts: "Mr. Li, this is a strategy to encourage the people to have a large amount of childbirth to help the Han Dynasty recover the population. However, if there is no corresponding food supply, it will probably cause great unrest in the future!"

The food crisis in the capital has not been resolved yet, and the Ren Jiangnan Army is full of speculation. In the past few days, the emperors and ministers who were afraid of hunger always felt a sense of suspicion before they saw sufficient food.

Zhong Yao was inexplicably worried, but it caused a burst of laughter outside the hall. A proud voice sounded: "What's the idle thing about your old man? No food! Hehe! Joke, now the military farms of the Jiangnan Army are managed by my elder brother, how could there be no food!

The newly planted Chameng rice last year was harvested for two seasons a year. According to my elder brother's calculations, the tens of millions of mu of military farms alone collected as much as hundreds of millions of hu of grain. Moreover, there are more civilian fields.

It is easy to raise 50 million people even if you raise the grain in Jiangnan! Do you have so many people to raise now?”

Everyone was shocked by the heroic voice and looked out of the hall in surprise. However, they saw Zhang Fei, who was wearing a black beard, smiling proudly outside the hall gate. It seemed that he was very proud of his elder brother's great achievements in the past two years.

Sun Ce rolled his eyes secretly: "This black-skinned guy doesn't know that the grain output is also a military secret? It seems that when I go back, I will ask Lu Ziheng to strengthen his awareness of confidentiality in the entire army."

Dong Cheng, shocked by the series of news, asked in surprise: "General, who is your elder brother? Can you actually know the detailed number of Jiangnan Army's military farms? Could you just boast about deceiving the emperor here?"

"Bah! You old guy, my elder brother, that's a brother who is even more close than my brother! If it weren't for the thief Lu Bu, my elder brother would be the general of Zhendong and the upright Xuzhou master? Where would he go to Jiangnan to manage the farmland? It's so damn!"

Speaking of the latter, Zhang Fei's loud voice involuntarily fell down. Liu Bei fell to such a point, but his third brother had done a good deed. But he was still able to fight outside now. When Zhang Fei thought of this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Why did I leave my elder brother and second brother behind and follow Sun Ce alone? But seeing that my elder brother is still very good at managing military farms, the second brother is busy training all day long and he is not attentive to him.

Alas, if Lao Zhang guards a place without moving and has no war to fight, that would be a life-threatening person.”

Hearing the words of this strong man with black face, Dong Cheng also asked with a trembling voice: "Your elder brother is the former governor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande? He is a dignified general in the east of the town. How could he go to Jiangnan to be the head general of the military farm?

Has he been hiding in Jiangnan after he was defeated by Lu Bu? A man and a real man were in a slump after losing a battle. He was really useless! He even claimed to be a royal relative, which really embarrasses the emperor!"

Dong Chengxin felt something, but subconsciously said these stupid words, which immediately angered a group of people.

The straightforward Zhang Fei's face was as dark as ink, and he pointed at Dong Cheng and cursed: "You old man, my elder brother had provoked you or snatched your little wife. If my elder brother hadn't worked hard and planted so much food, you would have starved to death!

Now that you are full and not hungry, you are even scolding the person who gave you food. You are the old man who deserves to be killed! Come on, take my old Zhang and spit out all the food you eat.

The rice my elder brother grows, and I don’t feed you this old man to pigs and dogs! I’ll die for you!”

At this moment, Zhang Fei, who was rushing upwards, was rarely sarcastic, which made Emperor Xian and the people around him change their faces. However, it made everyone in the Jiangnan Army feel angry.

If it weren't for the military farming of the Jiangnan Army, there would be no extra food to feed these old ministers who would only open their mouths to harm others. Zhang Fei shouted and wanted to rush into the palace to take Dong Cheng down. However, Zhou Cang, who had already received the hinting from his lord, hugged him and walked out of the palace gate.

Although Zhang Fei steadily beat Zhou Cang in martial arts skills, once he was hugged tightly by Zhou Cang, who was stronger than his strength, if he had not fought to the death, Zhang Fei would have no choice but to hold Zhou Cang with his brute force. He could only keep shouting and cursing along the way.
