Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 504 Population Expansion
The Global Fleet delegation is still carrying out activities in France, and Bai Mingxiu's body is still continuing his normal life as an emperor and college student in the Taiping Palace.

"It's going to be a sophomore in a blink of an eye." Bai Mingxiu touched the bun on his head, he was quite used to the feeling of long hair now, and felt that he was very rock and roll.

Beside him, Miss Lion sat leisurely on the large sofa in his palace, with her shoes off, revealing a pair of pure white jade feet, holding a popular novel in her hand, reading it boredly.

"Your Majesty, how is your relationship with that little girlfriend of yours?" Sister Lion asked very gossip.

Bai Mingxiu blushed inadvertently, and said, "I haven't fallen in love yet."

Bai Mingxiu studied at Minghua University for a year, so he kept a low profile.Of course, this student missed more than one-third of the class. If he was not a "privileged individual" and the school gave him the green light for attendance, this guy would have failed his class in the first semester and was persuaded to leave.

Although it is a university in the seventeenth century, since its establishment, Minghua University has made use of a lot of the experience of Bai Mingxiu's later universities.Multi-element scoring systems such as exams, homework, social activities, attendance, etc., such as the evaluation of faculty members, such as empowering students to choose some courses they are interested in as supplements, and such as the construction of popular school clubs.It can be said that in today's Minghua University and even in all universities in Ming Dynasty, the life of students is extremely colorful.

Moreover, as a place with a prosperous academic style and an open mind, this is also the most prosperous and blatant place for free love.

Bai Mingxiu met Su Wanxi, a female classmate who ran away from home alone and came to the capital to study at the beginning of school, and became closer to her.The two would sometimes make appointments to study together in the library, and even took the same elective course in the second semester.What made Bai Mingxiu dumbfounded was that this slightly nervous girl discovered that the boy she had been getting along with was actually the emperor himself when the first semester was nearing the end.

Basically, except for her, the whole school knows who is the emperor.

But this is also the aspect that Bai Mingxiu admires her very much. She looks weak, but she has a strong heart. She is not contaminated by the world and has a pure heart.When getting along with her, Bai Mingxiu was very relaxed.

Even after finally finding out that he is the emperor, Su Wanxi and Bai Mingxiu are still together often after struggling for a long time.It's just that the relationship between the two has never been broken, and they belong to ambiguous men and women.

In certain circles, many people know that the emperor seems to be engaged in a college romance, and people also admire Cinderella, who has no background, and climbed the real dragon.But the new court of Bai Mingxiu was different from the old one, and none of the ministers opened their eyes and dared to interfere with the private life of the emperor himself.That is to say, people like Sister Lion who are close to Bai Mingxiu will joke with him.

Miss Lion giggled, "You're eighteen, it's time to think about getting married."

Bai Mingxiu said lightly: "When compulsory education becomes more popular and society develops a few more years, I will set the age of marriage to 20."

Sister Lion sat up a little, and said: "It's useless to order. Many people may serve wine first but don't get a marriage certificate, so they get married like this. And for you, isn't Ming's birth rate and population growth important?" , restricting the age of marriage can be detrimental to this.”

Bai Mingxiu is very open-minded: "It should be increased, it still needs to be increased. Besides, is prenatal and postnatal care also very important?"

Bai Mingxiu has heard these days that many families are already giving birth in large numbers after being able to support themselves. Since the 17th year of Yongli, there has been a wave of baby boomers in Ming Dynasty, and even the cabinet has held many meetings specifically for this purpose. , discussing Ming's population issues and related social issues.

However, Bai Mingxiu himself has set a tone, which is to let the economic and social wealth grow and outperform the population growth.As we all know, the succession of dynasties in Chinese dynasties is related to population expansion and uneven distribution of social resources, which lead to conflicts and conflicts.Daming is still in a relatively low population. If the population growth rate is too serious, it may have a negative impact on Daming.

But the actual situation may be much better. For example, in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty in history, the population increased from less than [-] million in the late Ming Dynasty to [-] million in the Qianlong period. This growth rate can be said to be amazing, but the overall society is still stable. However, everyone later interpreted the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong as the prosperity of sweet potatoes, thinking that the high-yield crops from the Americas fed more people, rather than any good governance.

Daming is about to rush into a civilized country in the electrical age. What's even more exciting is that Bai Mingxiu has already acquired the entire Southeast Asia for Daming, the huge Lingbei, Inner Asia, which is already empty of population, and even Australia and the Americas with excellent conditions Under the guidance of Bai Mingxiu, the Chinese with a growing population in these new world sites can go to other places to relieve the conflict between people and land.

The cabinet also made some suggestions, including that families with more children in the future can recruit their children to join the colonial plan and go to other places such as the Department of Propaganda and Comfort.

But at least for now, the population growth in the mainland of Ming Dynasty is still completely within the range that the provinces can bear.

In the second year of Guangfu, the average natural population growth rate of the provinces directly under the Ming Dynasty was as high as 2.75%, which means that within a whole year, Daming had a new population of more than 200 million.The cabinet and various think tanks all believe that Ming must maintain a high natural growth rate for at least 30 to 50 years in order to achieve its goal of truly dominating the world.Therefore, the cabinet is also implementing an ambitious immigration plan, that is, within five years, one million people of the main ethnic group will be transferred to the Department of Propaganda and Comfort every year.In this way, on the one hand, the local population of the Ming Dynasty is also continuing to grow positively, and the Xuanwei Department of the Ming Dynasty is also rapidly enriching the population and gaining opportunities for development.In order to achieve this ambitious goal, the offices at all levels have carried out vigorous education and publicity work, which has already achieved initial results.

By attracting overseas workers and short-term and medium-term immigrants, the Ministry of Immigration Affairs has absorbed a large number of immigrants, and at this stage they are mainly sending them to various propaganda departments in Nanyang.Take Java Xuanweisi as an example. The registered population of this Xuanweisi has reached 150 million in the third year of Guangfu, and [-]% of them are Chinese. As a result, the Chinese on Java actually overwhelmed the natives and became the main ethnic group.

After the establishment of the Bangladesh-Myanmar Propaganda and Consolation Department, Wu Min also strongly urged the Ministry of Immigration Affairs to favor the immigration of Bangladesh and Myanmar, so it is foreseeable that a large number of Chinese immigrants have entered this area.

Bai Mingxiu also plans to recruit more immigrants at this moment, and go to Morocco and Gibraltar, a pair of relatively distant propaganda departments, to consolidate Ming's influence in the West.
