The son crosses every night

When Tang Hua was 36 years old, he did a big thing—promoting family planning.

As soon as the memorial was presented, the whole world was shocked. At the court meeting, there were many officials who were fierce and bumped against each other to persuade him to withdraw the memorial.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion all over the world, and many people even bluntly said that this is a policy that is harmful to the country.

Gu Tangyu, as the venerable of the five, did not say a word, but asked people to copy the memorial of Tanghua into a mansion newspaper and circulate it around the world.

Tang Hua didn't do anything after handing in the memorial, and took his people back to Biezhuang to continue farming. Over the years, he has grown high-quality rice, high-yield peanuts, introduced corn, and gained the title of "God of Agriculture" among the people. .

He has a high status and a high status, since he fled to the villa, few people bother him.

One day, he had just returned from the field when He Hua came in and reported in a low voice, "Young Master, the chief assistant, Mr. Ye, is asking to see you."

"Oh, he's the only one?"

"No, he also brought Master Lin, Master Xu, and Master Dou with him."

Tang Hua smiled: "Okay, go and tell them, I'll come as soon as I change my clothes."

Tang Hua had already guessed that someone would come to talk to him about this, so he wasn't too surprised.

He Hua saluted, bowed his head and left.

Ye Zhan and others sat in the living room and waited. The tea is good tea. Take a sip, and the long-lasting fragrance will linger in your mouth for a long time.

The pastry is also a good pastry, soft and delicate, with a mellow milky taste, fragrant and sweet.

Everyone sitting here couldn't sit still.

Lin Ningping asked softly: "Master Ye, do you think the prince will meet us?"

"It should be. The prince has always been gentle and kind. He submitted this memorial. There is no reason for us to come and ask."

After Ye Zhan finished speaking, everyone suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and their faces became calmer.

After asking for a while, Xu Guoxiang had nothing to say: "The cement made by the prince is really easy to use, and the carriage has not encountered bumps all the way."

"This cement is indeed a good thing. The reservoir can be repaired quickly and well, thanks to it."

"After the reservoir is repaired, the annual increase in grain production will increase. It is rare that the granaries in the world are full, and the treasury can save tens of millions of taels of silver every year."

The young official Yu Linxi who was following beside him smiled, "Speaking of which, thanks to the new rice seeds introduced by the lord, there is more food grown in the lower official's house, so there is money to come out to take the imperial examination."

"My lord's action is in the present age, and in the Spring and Autumn Period."

The more we talked about it, the more we felt sorry.

Tanghua's contribution is so great that even lying on the bed will not prevent him from becoming a sage prince, but he has written such a memorial that shakes the national policy.

This, this, this is really: Qingben is a beautiful woman, how can she be a thief!

It just so happens that this prince is deeply favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty will never refuse any memorial.

It seems that His Majesty intends to publicize this absurd excerpt for a few months, and then implement it thoroughly. Several old ministers persuaded him left and right, but His Majesty just kept silent, as if he had made up his mind.

Over the past few days, their hair has fallen out a lot from the pumping, and their beards are almost graying.

If it wasn't really impossible, they would not rush to the door, and planned to persuade the prince first.

"My lord." Xu Guoxiang's sharp eyes saw Tang Hua walking towards him.

The others hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"My lords, you don't need to be too polite." Yan Hua gently motioned them to sit down, "I just came back from the field and went to change my clothes. You have been waiting for a long time, so I don't think it's strange."

Everyone said, "Don't dare."

Tang Hua smiled, "Your lords are looking for me today because of family planning, right?"

Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted again, saying that they were offended.

Tang Hua asked them to sit down, and Ye Zhan said: "This matter of family planning, the officials and others have many doubts in their hearts, and please ask the prince to clarify the doubts."

Tang Hua listened attentively, "Your Excellency, please come."

His national family planning policy is very simple. Referring to Ruan Shijie's family planning policy, he briefly changed it according to the situation of the Dasheng Dynasty. In summary, there are three.

The first is that men and women must be over [-] years old before they can get married.

Second, no matter how many concubines there are in monogamy, only four children are allowed, and the fifth one will be fined, and the fine will increase exponentially.

Third, men who are willing to undergo sterilization can choose to send a child to a government school, and can enjoy the public medical services supported by the imperial court, and there are also slight tax concessions.

Tanghua has not produced a condom for the time being, but the vasectomy technology has matured, and he also has people promote it. As long as men are willing to accept this minor operation, the success rate of contraception can basically reach [-]% after six months of operation.

Ye Zhan said: "My lord, you don't agree that having more children is more blessing?"

Tang Hua smiled: "Many people think that having more children and grandchildren is a good thing. Dare to ask Mr. Ye, whether this good thing is a good thing for the grandfather or a good thing for the children and grandchildren?"

Ye Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tanghua smiled, and without waiting for his answer, he took the initiative to say: "This is probably a good thing for my grandfather. My grandfather had five sons, and each of the five sons had five grandchildren. My grandfather had five sons, 25 grandchildren, and a total of 30 descendants. And as long as there are one or two filial people among them, my grandfather will have no worries about food and clothing in his later years."

"And what about the grandson? The family originally had 25 mu of land. If the grandfather had two sons, and the son had two grandchildren, each person would get more than twelve mu, and he would have no worries about food and clothing. If the grandfather had five sons, the son would have five grandchildren. , a total of [-] grandchildren, one person has two acres of land, and it is difficult to even make ends meet.”

Xu Guoxiang couldn't help but said: "It's said that good men don't eat separate meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes. How can they all rely on their ancestors to live?"

"That's right, it's a little unfilial to seek family property."

"The two adults are worrying too much. There are so many births. Even if you plan, you can't figure it out. There are too many people and disputes are easy to arise." Tang Hua looked at them gently, "If you can't survive, you must find other ways, be honest. Those who are smarter go to open up wasteland, those who are smarter do other things, and those who are more arrogant steal and rob. Our Dasheng is so big, and our children and grandchildren are endless, where will we go to open up wasteland and where will we find other jobs?"

"This……"

Tang Hua went on to say: "The population of Dasheng was at most 6000 million when the first emperor was around. The population reached 3000 million after the chaos in the frontier. In the past ten years, the weather has been good for Dasheng, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the population is at least [-] million. [-] million. You are the mainstay of the imperial court, and you should have heard a little about the population of Dasheng."

Ye Zhan nodded heavily, "Indeed."

Tanghua's tone was more gentle, "We are all officials, meat eaters, and herdsmen. The people below cannot see this. We should have a long-term plan. I have made some achievements in recent years. Most of the people are farmers. My seeds, even if there is only one or two acres of land per capita, can still earn food and clothing. In addition, some achievements have been made in medical treatment. The number of infant deaths has dropped from half to one-third or even lower. If we do not control the population , 50 years later, the population may reach four to five billion."

The faces of all the officials here are a little heavy. The population is large, so it is natural to fight.

Han Feizi's "Five Beetles" has already made it clear.

Tanghua said softly: "I hope that the people should not be endlessly numerous, but should live longer and better. Those who don't ask for seventy clothes and silk eat meat, and those who can afford seventy clothes and cotton will be fine." .”

After Tang Hua finished speaking softly, Ye Zhan couldn't help but his eyes were red, and he stood up and bowed, "Your Highness has long-term vision!"

The others also looked reddish, and bowed to salute one after another.

Tang Hua helped Ye Zhan up and let him sit back in the original place, and let the others support each other and sit back in the seat.

Tang Hua glanced at them, "I also know that as soon as this memorial is published, everyone who greets me is full of infamy. What am I trying to do? I am not married or have children. I am nearly forty years old. Even if I live a hundred years, I will only have one Good life for decades."

When he said this, he sighed deeply.

Including Ye Zhan, the others looked evasively and did not dare to meet his gaze.

Tang Hua went on to say: "Family planning is difficult, but it has to be done. I advocate family planning not only for the above reasons. You should have heard that I can get the fairy dream. In my dream, if there is no family planning, Dasheng The fate of the country has been around for a hundred years."

Everyone was shocked, "Is this really true?"

Tang Hua smiled wryly, "When did I ever tell a lie? It's just that it's not easy to tell the public about the ghosts and gods."

All of you here are silent after hearing the words, and they don't know what to say.

After sitting for a while, everyone took their leave.

Tang Hua watched them leave with a smile on his lips.

On the second day, several good articles suddenly flowed out from several big teahouses in the imperial capital, and the entire imperial capital immediately circulated and copied them. There were still discussions in the library funded by Zhan Hua.

On the third day, "On Family Planning", "What is Family Planning", and "Only the True and Righteous Can Risk the Disgrace of the World" were widely known.

On the fourth day, "My Views on Family Planning", "On No Family Planning", "Who Opposes Family Planning", and "The Family Planning I Support" appeared in the tabloids circulated by Baixin's subordinates.

As soon as this opening was opened, countless articles were released one after another.

The more the arguments became clearer, the vast majority of people in the imperial capital supported family planning. Gai Yintanghua's family planning proposal was not harsh, and each person could have four children.

If there is no family planning and the medicine produced by Tang Hua and others, many people will live five or six, six or seven children no matter how many children they have. Such a plan can get two fewer children, but it can be exchanged for many benefits. It is not a loss. .

Gu Tangyu published the memorial for two months, and that was it. After that, almost no one opposed the family planning.

Family planning has been promoted as the basic national policy of Dasheng, and it has become the only feudal dynasty in this world to implement family planning.
