Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1157

“According to statistics, after the end of the Civil War, the population of the empire grew steadily, and there were probably more than 20 million new people.”

Speaking of the welfare system, Pang Yukun thought of the population growth of the empire. After all, this was the most intuitive response.

“Twenty million in ten years, an increase of about two million people per year. Ten years ago, the population base of the empire was 80 million. The annual growth rate is about 2.5%, which is a little bit low.” Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun said: “In the first few years, the growth was slow, but since the emperor promulgated the welfare policy, the population growth of the empire has accelerated. According to statistics, the growth rate is 5%.”

Xiao Ming nodded. Population growth is a long process. It is impossible to make the population of the empire grow from 100 million to more than one billion in less than a hundred years.

The only thing he can do now is to encourage childbirth and speed up this process. The reason is very simple. The huge land occupied by the empire needs to be occupied, otherwise sooner or later these lands will be occupied by other countries with explosive populations.

After all, in addition to the war of blood and fire, human beings really have to face the war of reproduction. When the population of a nation is declining, it will not be able to control the land being occupied by other races with a large population, and his previous glory is just for Others do just wedding dresses.

Because of this, he will increase the population of the empire as a war.

Since he is from modern times, he is very aware of the truth that the more developed the society and the richer the material, the population growth rate of this country will continue to decrease, even negative growth.

In the future, the empire will also face this problem, so he must not take it lightly and have to take advantage of the initial stage of the country’s development to have more children.

So he said: “In this way, you can improve the empire’s childbirth welfare policy during this period. All families raising three children or more and five children will enjoy life-long free education and medical benefits. All families with five or more children In addition to the above benefits, they will also receive maternity subsidies from the court and free transportation benefits.

After a pause, he went on to say: “People are reluctant to have children because of the pressure of life, so the empire involves peoples livelihood. At present, education in the empire is completely free except for universities, and the medical part is free of charge. The ultimate goal is to realize that all medical care is free in the future. Moreover, the empire will build welfare houses throughout the country. Families with more than three children can get a free share.

Pang Yukun had no objection to Xiao Ming’s ideas. Now that the empire’s finances are becoming more and more abundant, the implementation of such benefits is completely affordable.

He said: “The old ministers will give these policies to the states when they go back. It’s such a cheap thing, I’m afraid the people will cheer.”

“This is exactly what I want. No matter how much territory the empire lays down and no one cultivates, it will be wasted.” Xiao Ming frowned, Fiji is old, Pang Yukun is old, and he is getting old.

Time waits for no one. Taking advantage of this, he will try his best to do something that will benefit future generations.

The issue of childbirth benefits was skipped, and he continued: “After the internal combustion engine is used, oil will be the lifeblood of the empire for a long time in the future. For this reason, it is necessary to plan ahead.”

Pang Yukun said: “The lower officials have ordered the empire to establish oil storage depots in various states, and take advantage of Persia’s no regrets, and spare no effort to store oil.

Xiao Ming nodded, “In addition, there are ore transported back from various colonies. After meeting the empire’s domestic needs, the rest is used to reclaim the sea and make land for future generations.”

Pang Yukun noted this incident.

The two said that the motorcade had arrived at the palace. After getting out of the car, Pang Yukun returned to his official office, while Xiao Ming went directly to the bedroom.

…

Moscow.

While the Empire was rejoicing for the successful flight test of the plane, Ekarina frowned. News from the border kept coming, which made her fall into panic.

“In a month, the imperial army occupied Yelets, Caravel, Mondomussen, your majesty, now Moscow is completely defenseless against the imperial army.” Ivanov worried.

Ekarina said: “No one thought that the Empire would suddenly launch an attack on us at this time. Obviously, the Empire is in the corresponding French Henry.”

Igor said: “Your Majesty, compared to France, the most important thing for us now is to protect ourselves. The defeated soldiers are talking about the terrible weapons of the empire. It is these weapons that easily destroyed the fortress on the border of the empire. Many people say these. Weapons cannot be stopped.”

He is the commander-in-chief of the Tsarist Russian army, and what he cares most is war.

Ekarina squeezed her eyebrows. She did not expect that the Empire would have such a powerful force to attack Tsarist Russia directly. After all, they had a stalemate in Central Asia for several years, and she thought it would continue.

“In order to deal with a possible attack by the empire, we must bring back the troops preparing to go to France.” After hesitating for a long time, Ekarina made a very difficult decision.

Now no one can predict what the empire will do next, whether it will continue to wander the border, or will it be a full invasion?

As the Queen of Tsarist Russia, she must consider her country, as for Europe, she can only let it go.

Neither Igor nor Ivanov had any disagreements. It was not Britain that was at risk, but their Tsarist Russia. Now Yekarina suddenly regretted mingling with the British.

Obviously, the empire is becoming more and more difficult to provoke.

The order to withdraw to France soon came from the Kremlin~~ This news was also received by Vidomija.

Several months passed, Vidomija lost a lot of weight again, and when she heard the news, her spirits were suddenly wilted.

“The three fortresses on the border between Russia and Russia were destroyed in a few days. Ekarina is probably very scared this time.” Vidomija said.

Brooke said: “Indeed, after all, hundreds of thousands of Ottoman troops never crossed these three fortresses, and the Eastern Empire only had five days, but it is said that this was because of a strange weapon, such as machine guns and cannons. It is said that it is extremely hard and runs faster than a horse.”

With Vidomia’s insight, she could not imagine what kind of weapon this was, but even if Tsarist Russia was so frightened, it must be a weapon that changed the balance of the battlefield.

She sighed and said: “We cant make a desperate move. It seems that its time to talk to the Empire. We cant stay in Tsarist Russia forever, and Ekarina is not credible. If necessary, she will even hand me over to the Eastern Empire. In exchange for benefits.”

Brooke is also worried. The situation in Britain is very serious now, and they really can’t wait any longer.
