My Great Qin Cannot Die - Chapter 575

“Can Aiqing have confidence?”

This sentence made Li Si stunned for a moment, but he knew that Ying Zheng rarely asked his ministers like this, because the handling of some things was not a matter of confidence.

Daqin is pragmatic.

What’s more, he is the prime minister who is the head of the hundred officials. He advocates legalism, and he is naturally extremely pragmatic. Therefore, Ying Zheng rarely sets a time limit for the minister for one thing.

However, this time Ying Zheng made an exception.

Li Si’s expression moved slightly and he couldn’t help but look at Ying Zheng. He naturally knew that Daqin had developed rapidly in recent years, but he felt a sense of urgency even more.

This kind of feeling is like Ying Zheng’s urgent hope that all problems will be solved in a short period of time.

For a moment, he wanted to ask Ying Zheng, but over the years, all the decisions Ying Zheng made may be incomprehensible at the time, but in the end they were all proven correct.

Because of this, Li Si pondered for a moment, and finally fell silent, but chose to support silently.

The Daqin Empire has today, and he also has a contribution from Li Si. As long as Daqin is moving in a better direction, he is willing to give all his energy.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, this minister will definitely complete this matter!”

He only said one year, but the first emperor gave him three years. Obviously, the first emperor also knew the difficulty of unifying the culture. The people of Da Qin had just lived and worked in peace, and even Li Si did not want to kill.

“Your Majesty, the country is peaceful at present. With Your Majesty here, it is easy to promote the Academy and suppress the remnants of the hundreds of schools of thought.”

“Even if there is cultural unity, as long as the court does not change, as long as the court perseveres, it is only a matter of time.”

Speaking of this, Li Si looked solemn and turned towards Ying Zheng, saying, “However, the issue of Mobei and Baiyue is the top priority.”

“Only by completely integrating the Central Plains, can I, Daqin, advance, attack, retreat and defend. Whether it’s westward or southward, it’s not a big problem.”

“Hahaha……”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but smile and shook his head towards Li Si: “Right now, the biggest problem in our Qin Empire is the population problem.”

“As the Prime Minister of Great Qin, Li Xiang also personally presided over the land reform, and in the process, he conducted the Great Qin Empire Population Census.”

“My Daqin population is only 40 million. It’s okay to occupy the Central Plains, but if the troops go west, the Daqin population is far from enough.”

Having said that, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, “I, Da Qin, have been encouraging fertility all these years. Does the Prime Minister have a good plan for this?”

population!

This is a big problem.

At this time, Da Qin, no, or the entire Central Plains was very proud. From the perspective of the Central Plains, only the descendants of Yan and Huang were considered people.

Barbarians are all around!

Even Confucius is the same.

In Daqin’s statistics, the population is only counted as the bloodline of Yanhuang. This matter seems simple, and it only needs to encourage fertility, but Li Si knows that when the productivity cannot keep up, when the food is insufficient, there is no way to increase the population.

Thinking of this, Li Si turned towards Ying Zheng and said, “Your Majesty, if you want to increase the population, unless the rice is successfully planted and the navy gets the grain that His Majesty said.”

“At the same time, Daqin has been recuperating. Only in this way can I, Daqin, achieve a population explosion!”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said, “I, Daqin, have always had no rigid requirements for marriage. You said that if the court stipulated that anyone over the age of fourteen must start a family. .”

“At the same time, let the government officials take action, and various policies are inclined to encourage them. I will strive to double the population of Daqin within 20 years!”

“Within ten years, the population will exceed 80 million. This…” Li Si felt that it was a bit nonsense, but in the face of Ying Zheng’s request, he had to agree.

Because Ying Zheng’s policies are all encouraging, not compulsory, even if they get married at the age of fourteen, this is very common in the Qin Empire, and it is not something that never happened.

“If there are no disturbances in Daqin, and the food is sufficient, if it reaches a prosperous age, it will not be difficult to accomplish this goal.”

Having said that, Li Si threw his hands towards Ying Zheng and said, “Your Majesty, I have too many things in my hands now, and I don’t have the energy to pay attention to this matter. It is better to let Xiao He be responsible for this matter.”

“This person is above the people’s livelihood and has some abilities.”

“Um.”

Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Li Si, smiled lightly, and said, “Alright, let Xiao He and Fusu be in charge of this matter. After all, the population problem is the biggest problem of our Great Qin Empire.”

“promise.”

Li Si knew that he did not lie. In recent years, the number of corvés in the Qin Empire has become less and less, and the court is recuperating. Whether it is driving or dredging the river, it is basically done by slaves.

In this way, the people of the country have nothing to do except busy themselves, and the harmony of yin and yang is the only fun, and the birth rate will naturally increase.

“After Li Qing goes down, let Xiao He, Xiangta, Chen Ping, Fusu, Fan Zeng and Wei Liao come to the study!” After drinking a sip of tea, Ying Zheng said towards Li Si.

“promise.”

Nodding in agreement, Li Si looked solemn. He knew in his heart that the Daqin Empire had finally entered into a formal order, Qin law was gradually being repaired, and various systems were improved. Talent worries.

The development of trade routes and the development of grain crops will make the people of the Qin Empire more and more prosperous.

After half an hour, everyone came one after another and bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng: “My son…I will greet Your Majesty, His Majesty is ten thousand years old, Daqin ten thousand years——!”

“You gentlemen don’t need to be too polite.”

As soon as Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, he motioned for Fusu and the others to take their seats, and then said, “Just now, I discussed with Li Xiang some questions about my Daqin.”

“I agree with Li that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The biggest problem in the Qin Empire is the population problem. Over the years, the imperial court has been encouraging fertility, but the population growth is not obvious!”

“I intend to hand over this matter to Xiao He. Various policy support and propaganda must be in place. I want Daqin to double the total population in the next 20 years!”

Having said that, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Xiao He: “Xiao He, do you have confidence in this matter?”

Hearing this, Xiao He’s expression was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the First Emperor came to him for this matter, and at the same time disappointed in his heart, he handed over to Ying Zheng and said, “I will do my best to accomplish this goal.”

Looking at Xiao He who was disappointed and undisguised, Ying Zheng chuckled and said, “Xiao He, don’t think this is a small matter. The reason why I gave it to you is because I am optimistic about you.”

“This matter is the future theme of the Qin Empire.”
