sweeping the world

Chapter 809
If Liu Yan wants to have a larger population, relying solely on the uterus of Han women to increase the population will be really slow.

If we really want to keep the bloodline pure, the number of Han ethnicity after the founding of the Han Dynasty will be close to [-] million. If mixed races are not recognized as Han, the population will definitely decrease.

Calculated with a population of tens of millions, definitely not everyone is at the right age for childbearing, and the number of women who can bear children will not exceed 150 million at most.

At the same time, among the 150 million women who can become pregnant, not all of them can safely give birth to babies under the current sanitary conditions and technological level.

The babies born are also not able to grow up healthily for everyone. In terms of the current general probability, only six out of ten babies can finally grow up to adults. Such a high mortality rate in ancient times was one a common phenomenon.

It takes at least thirteen or four years for a human being to become a new reproductive individual. Each new generation requires a period of growth, which is a very long process.

"I can't wait that long." Liu Yan never concealed his ambition: "If there is really not enough population, expanding outward is an extravagant hope. Even if it is defeated, what's the use if there is no population to use in the past."

All the ministers heard Liu Yan say similar things more than once, including that the current era is the best era for the expansion of the Han people, and if they do not seize the opportunity in front of them, they will inevitably suffer.

As long as they are central officials, they have a clear impression of the current structure of the Han people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people killed each other and experienced two large-scale typhoid fevers. The population dropped rapidly from the official record of 600 million to 760 million.

"Success or failure is turning around, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times." Liu Yan is not poetic, he rides in the car on the road and watches the scenery that is constantly passing by: "The mountains, rivers and earth are always there, but people It's generation after generation."

If you really look at bloodlines, it is unknown whether the population of the Han Kingdom established by Liu Yan can exceed 15 million. It will take about [-] years to have a population that becomes a labor force, which is something he cannot accept.

Another thing is that the ancestors of Zhu Xia were just a few people at the beginning, they absorbed and merged the defeated tribes in the process of continuous conquest, and gradually made their own tribes grow stronger. If the ethnicity is simply confirmed by blood, No one, including Liu Yan, dared to say that their blood was the blood of the first generation of Zhu Xia.

It is said that it is Zhuxia, which means that it is a combination of multiple ethnic groups, and a sense of ideological identity is generated in the form of culture.

A nation must never give up on annexation and integration of other nations. In fact, that is also the correct way to increase the gene pool.

To put it simply, brothers and sisters in the same robe or brothers and sisters must not marry. At the beginning, it was not against incest, but in fact, it was understood that the offspring born would have various genetic diseases.

The difference between humans and animals is that they will make changes when they know they are wrong. Animals will repeatedly combine close relatives to produce offspring. Since the IQ of animals is the same, unless there are obvious physical defects, it is difficult to see whether the intelligence is up to the standard. It turns out that people are really different. No one wants their offspring to be mentally retarded.

The patrolling team has turned back, and once again walked the route from Gaoxian, their destination this time was Ma Shijin.

Liu Yan spent a total of five days inspecting the Northeast Plain. He inspected a few places and had an intuitive impression of the local area.

This place is different from other regions in Han. It will start to snow in autumn, and the ground should be covered with ice and snow near the middle of autumn.

Liu Yan's going to the grassland was delayed because of an enemy attack, and he was trapped in ice and snow in the northeast. Although both were forced to stop, they were really not the same thing.

Compared with being involved by enemy troops, difficulties arising from nature will have more uncertainties. At least those enemy troops will not pose a real threat to Liu Yan. Even if the patrolling troops cannot handle it themselves, they will be over time. The ground moved back, and countless troops from King Qin rushed to reinforce.

In many cases, nature is not something that people can resist. If there is a sudden snowstorm, people who have prepared for the cold will inevitably suffer casualties. If you want to open a way to get out, you really don't know when it will be.

By coincidence, as soon as the patrol team returned to Gaoxian, news of a sudden heavy snowfall came, making it impossible to do any outdoor work and traffic was cut off.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has already carried out the transfer of slaves in advance." Lu Taihui followed Ma Shijin before returning to his job: "The one your Majesty saw a while ago is one of them."

After the snow season, there is nothing else to do in the Northeast except Maodong, so the Han Kingdom will not leave so many slaves doing nothing.

Slaves staying in the Northeast will not only cause waste, but also a double waste of materials and labor.After all, slaves cannot be allowed to freeze to death and starve to death. The additional clothes must be added, and then they must be burned every moment. Stoves, kangs, bonfires, etc., even if local wood is available everywhere, what can be consumed is in advance. The wood in reserve is not the wood that is so frozen by ice and snow that it is difficult to burn.

Han Country is currently extremely short of labor force. After the Northeast enters the snowfall season, development will inevitably come to a halt.Transferring slaves from the Northeast to places that also snow but not as bitterly cold as the Northeast, or even to places where there is no snow at all, is what those slaves should do.

In fact, Gaoxian went to Zhuoxian County, and Gaoxian went to Mashijin. The two roads were transporting people and things to the inland every day. When Liu Yan's team set off, it happened to be another batch of vehicles full of slaves.

The Chi Road invented in the pre-Qin period, its ease of use is beyond imagination, the speed and capacity of the vehicle may not be multiple or heavy, but compared with simply traveling with two legs, or traditional horse-drawn carriage, it is faster and has a higher capacity. too much.

"It took more than two years to build these two roads, and there were more than 20 casualties." Sang Yu accidentally read the relevant documents: "There are enough timber resources in the local area, and it would take longer to switch to other areas. , there will be more casualties.”

Road construction has never been easy, and there are still special surveyors to designate routes. If you don't know how to choose a road construction route, it will be more difficult.

"More than 5 slaves died in the Chidao from Zhuo County to Gaoxian alone, including those who were disabled." Liu Yan attached great importance to Chidao, how each Chidao was built, and how much cost and casualties were involved in the construction process , have personally checked the information: "That is the premise for us to cherish the lives of slaves."

Liu Yan remembered a lot of materials about road construction.

In order to build the road to Shu, Li Tang dug the plank road, and thousands of people sacrificed one after another.

In modern times, the Chinese traveled across the ocean to pan for gold. However, the gold was not found, but was sent to build various roads in batches. Under every sleeper of the North American railway was a Chinese. Corpses are no joke.

The road they are using now from Gaoxian to Ma Shijin takes more time than the one from Zhuo County to Gaoxian, and the casualties are more serious.That's because the terrain on this side is more complicated, and some areas had to be opened up. Fortunately, there was gunpowder, otherwise, I don't know what kind of monkey years will be repaired, and the casualties must be several times more.

The first time Liu Yan stepped on Ma Shijin was before the establishment of the Han Dynasty. At that time, they were forced to evacuate Changguang County, or first went to the Miaodao Islands to take a breather, and later found this place of cultivation and rest in the Liaodong Peninsula. .

Ma Shijin is actually the modern Lushun. There is a natural deep-water port on this side, and it is very convenient to build a port.Not only does it have a natural deep-water port on its side, but there are also circular arms on the periphery, leaving only one channel for ships to enter. As a military port, it is more likely to avoid sudden attacks by surface enemy ships, but if it is blocked, you want to go out It's not easy, and there are pros and cons.

To enter the Liaodong Peninsula, the patrol team must first pass through a city wall that is more than ten miles long.The reason for the establishment of this city wall was that the Murong Yan Kingdom came to attack at that time. Liu Yan didn't have many troops at that time, so he gritted his teeth to build the city wall defense line with few resources, which also made Murong Yan's army feel that the cost of a strong attack was too high and chose to retreat. .

This is the part of the city wall that Liu Yan built using the system, and it was used later for the construction of the palace city, such as the palace city walls of Linzi and Xinchang'an, which were actually built using the system, not rammed earth structures, but made of of stone.

Now the Murong Yan Kingdom has been destroyed. Although there are still Murong remnants, they are too far away from the Liaodong Peninsula.Including Liaodong and other places and the peninsula are all Han soil. The city wall of the Liaodong Peninsula actually has no great military value, and it only serves as a symbolic meaning to guard 500 people.

After entering Liaodong, you can clearly distinguish the difference from the Northeast. You can see forested villages and towns, but it still looks much more desolate compared to the interior.

"There is a lot of snow in the northeast, and there is only rain here." Yu Yi didn't understand what that phenomenon was, and he had never been to the Liaodong Peninsula: "The two places are not far apart, but they are two scenes."

Liu Yan has personally experienced more than once that it is raining on one side, but there is no drop on the other side without taking a step. I don't think there is anything strange about it.

When they entered the Liaodong Peninsula, what they saw was prosperity.

The population of the Liaodong Peninsula was nearly one million when it was the largest. Although they did not live in one city, villages and towns could be seen everywhere, and of course there were farmlands that had been developed.

Today's Liaodong Peninsula still has a population of more than [-]. It is considered one of the most populous administrative regions in the border area. Most of them followed Liu Yan when he was down and down. There is no shortage of meritorious family members. They also regard themselves as the people who are close to the emperor.

When Liu Yan went on patrol to this place, the people were greeted by tens of thousands of people. The whole station, including the surrounding areas, could be seen as human beings, and the ground was shaken by the shouting of slogans one after another.

"Your Majesty." Su Lewan looked very old to me, and was elected as a representative to meet Liu Yan. He was dressed in a costume: "Your Majesty has come again after eight years. The old man finally saw Liu Yan again. His Majesty."

In fact, Liu Yan has already forgotten who the person in front of him is. Firstly, he is not impressed with Su Lewan, the patriarch of the first batch of Qiang family accepted in Changguang County. Secondly, there are too many things to deal with every day. It's not easy to keep everyone in mind.

Of course, Liu Yan wouldn't just plainly say that he didn't know her, but would smile kindly and ask how he was doing, how many children and grandchildren he had, and so on.

"I'm living well, and I have many children and grandchildren, all of whom are serving His Majesty." After Su Lewan, I also specifically mentioned Su Dong, the sheriff of Liaoxi County, as my eldest son, who had met Liu Yan more than once when he was a child.He mentioned a few more later, whether as a local official or in the army, it seemed that the whole family was working for Liu Yan: "I am old, so I will retire here."

It was only then that Liu Yan remembered that this family was originally from the Qiang nationality, but it was also a Qiang nationality that was almost Sinicized. It was one of the families that he took the initiative to defect to when he started his family.His next thought was that there were six members of the family serving as local officials. The most promising one became the sheriff of a county, and the ones who were worse were also important positions in the county. Not to mention the other four were in the army. , the highest position is the school lieutenant, which can be regarded as a family of officials.

Their original surname is Su Le, which has been changed to Su surname. They will not be the best family after they become Han people, but they seem to be doing well. There are not many naturalized Han people like the Su family. The best among Huahu is Qian Jiantong, who was originally a Hun.

The welcome ceremony will soon end, and then there will be an official carnival. Liu Yan will definitely participate in it, even if he pretends to remember the hero and be kind to the people of the Dragon, otherwise he will be mean The stain of widowhood.

There are naturalized Hu gangsters in the Han Dynasty, but they only account for a small proportion of them. The center only has about 90.00% nine points and countless nines. It will reach around [-]. In fact, the real right to speak is still in the hands of the ancestors, that is, the Han people.

The current official household registration of Han Dynasty only has one ethnic group. If the household registration is not Han nationality, it will definitely not be able to participate in the system. Liu Yan does not need to carry out minority projects for the world to see. He knows that the purer the ethnic division of citizens, the better.

After boarding the ship, Liu Yan asked someone to find Su Dong's resume. It can be seen that Su Dong's ability may not be so outstanding, but he still belongs to the type of dedication.He saw that another Su Bei who was a school captain had a much better resume.

"There are 17 people in the direct lineage of the Su family who died in the battle, and there are more side branches..." Liu Yan is actually afraid of the family of officials, he knows very well that all families of officials and officials can become aristocratic families or even powerful families at any time : "No matter what the future generations are, at least any generation of pioneers has contributed."

If you have worked hard for most of your life, you will be rewarded. If you have worked hard for most of your life, but you have not created any value, even if you create something, it will not be helpful to future generations. What is the difference between living in vain?
