Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 866 Rapid Development

Seven years ago, the total population of Datang was 4000 million.

Now the total population of Datang has reached 7000 million!

Except for the descendants of East Turks and Goguryeo, the natural population growth rate of Datang has reached a very high level.

At this time, there is no birth restriction, and you can have as many children as you want, and no one will ask you to apply for a second-child certificate or the like. As long as you can afford it, you can have a hundred or eighty children.

Natural population growth is affected by many things, such as the level of medical care, the degree of stability of life, and so on.

The most powerful department of Xincheng Medical College is obstetrics and gynecology.At the beginning of the establishment of the medical school, obstetrics and gynecology was the most unpopular subject, because in the impression of these ancients, it was all filthy things, and it was easy to be contaminated with unclean things.

Due to the influence of the patrilineal clan society, few people are willing to study obstetrics and gynecology, because it is shameful.

Not long after the establishment of the medical school, the Women's Association began to make efforts, and the implementation of various policies made people flock to obstetrics and gynecology.

Under someone's deliberate guidance, Sun Simiao completed his medical masterpiece 'Qian Jin Fang' more than a year ago.

And it has been improved in many aspects, completely surpassing the original Qianjin Fang.

In the past, people in the Tang Dynasty had a very low chance of surviving children, and two or three out of ten could survive.And now, out of ten, six can survive!

People's lives are better, and mothers have enough milk to feed their children, and they are no longer yellow and thin without milk.

Coupled with the follow-up of the current compensation plan, farms have been built one after another in various places, and goat milk and milk can feed a group of young children.

There is more food in the family, and I don’t worry about the child growing up and having nothing to eat. As long as you can give birth, the imperial court will give a certain amount of subsidies.

After giving birth to a child, after being registered with the county government, a monthly subsidy of ten renminbi will be given!
Don't underestimate the ten Wen, enough to buy two stones of rice or twenty catties of milk.The purchasing power of Datang copper coins is very high!

Datang's prices have not changed much in recent years, and even dropped a little.Because of the high grain yield and the application of machinery, all living materials are not as difficult to produce as before, and have even reached the point of saturation.

This is also why, there are many merchants from the Tang Dynasty who are willing to go to Japan to develop, because the profits there are too high!
The naked temptation of money!
The number of court officials gradually increased, and the functionality of the court also gradually increased.

The wave behind pushes the wave ahead, and many senior citizens who have no real talent and learning are sent home by official letters from the iron-faced old man of the official department.

Nearly [-] students from the four colleges in Xincheng step into this society that needs talents every year, and the imperial examination is held once a year.

It can be said that Datang's current official gap has already been plugged, and the imperial court has also adjusted and refined the tasks of various departments in the past two years.

Moreover, there will be an assessment every year, which is a bit similar to the Jingcha in the Ming Dynasty, but its strictness is far beyond.

The salary of officials has been adjusted several times, and now the monthly salary of a seventh-rank official has reached [-] cash, and there are other welfare bonuses at the same time.

It can be said that as long as a county magistrate can increase the population of the county under his rule to Wangshi, and at the same time, the living standard of the people reaches the second level stipulated by the imperial court, the monthly salary plus bonus can get two consecutive!
Yes, that's right!Datang officials are now no longer annual salary, but monthly salary.

And the salary is no longer replaced by food and cloth, but is issued by the Shengshi Bank's redemption.

No one questioned this form, and no one questioned the authenticity of the redemption.Throughout the Tang Dynasty, there were many banks, but these banks were all based on the banknotes issued by Shengshi Bank.

With regard to basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation, [-]% of the people in the Tang Dynasty now have enough to live a full meal, enough clothes to wear, and even a change of clothes.

Well, on the one hand, it's even more convenient now!
The development of the road construction plan is not just the laying of various traffic arterial roads.

The county magistrate of Shiping County called the merchants in the county and Lizheng of each village to work together to repair the roads from each village to the county.

The people in the village contributed, and the merchants in the city contributed money. The county magistrate applied for a construction team from Xincheng, and led the people to repair the roads at the village and township levels!
At first, the county magistrates of several surrounding counties didn't understand Fu Xichen's honey sauce operation.

But when the road was built, they saw that there were suddenly many merchants in Shiping County who went there to buy land and build workshops, which drove economic development and enriched people's lives.

They are jealous, they can still play like this!I didn't see that Fu Xichen was rewarded by the court for this incident, and His Majesty the Emperor's verbal praise!

It's just that the old man refused to leave the county town of Kaixianping, willing to be a county magistrate.

At first, people thought he was stupid, but after thinking about it, they realized.It turns out they are the stupidest ones!

Shiping County is now about to become Wengcheng of the new city, and it is very likely that it will be merged into the new city in the end. At that time, Fu Xichen, an old man, is likely to be counted among the officials of the new city.

Helpless, other county magistrates can only sigh!emotion!

Why did Mr. Ping go to Shiping when he was not sealed in their county seat at the beginning!

With an example to follow, all counties in Gyeonggi-do began to build roads.Gradually, county magistrates in other places also learned this, but there are some who can't afford it!
why?The land is sparsely populated, and there are no special products that cannot be developed at all!

The road construction plan is just one of them, and there is also Datang's railway!
There are five railways planned, with a total length of [-] miles. They connect Lihe City, originally located in Koguryo, in Liaobei Province, to Gaozhou in Lingnan Province. They pass through Hedong Road, Guannei Road, Henan Road, and Huainan Road, connecting the north and the south. .

The other one starts from Wujun and goes all the way west, winding around the mother river, and finally connecting to Lanzhou.

The railway that has been laid now has a length of two thousand miles, from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then to Yangzhou.

Connect the most prosperous commercial cities in the north and south to make business activities more frequent!

The construction of railways not only brings convenience and quickness in transportation, but also stimulates economic and industrial development.

Datang's steel production is now increasing every month, there is no way, the demand is huge!

The eldest grandson's family could no longer afford such a big business, and gradually other people joined in.

Of course, the big steel suppliers couldn't get up without the emperor's permission.And those small iron and steel merchants can only follow behind to drink soup.

But I can't stand the soup, which is delicious, and it can still keep you full!

They don't need to buy ore to mine, they just need to provide smelting services to those big miners, enough to make them a lot of money!

Of course, in terms of the secrecy of the smelting method, they have all signed the regulations issued by the government, and some people from the government often come to visit.

No one dared to reveal it!
