Chapter 740 The scene of the prosperous world, it should be like this (three in one)(2/2)
And these wealth is not like the Ming Dynasty when global trade first appeared in history. The wealth that flowed into the Ming Dynasty was only in the hands of powerful bureaucrats and gentry, and now most of it is in the hands of the court and has entered the national treasury.
It is not like the world hegemons in later generations, where all the money they earned from the world flows into the hands of capital tycoons, but their own government is still heavily in debt.
Therefore, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, can spend money at will to promote fertility.
Anyway, this money is just metal left in the treasury, which does not reflect the value of the currency and is easily consumed and stolen. It is better to spread it out in this way to promote fertility and promote domestic consumption.
...
With the crackling sound of firecrackers, it sounded.
Renqing Lane in Changmen, Suzhou, ushered in the most lively moment of her day.
A magnificent archway has been officially completed.
The archway was established by local officials for Ge, who had given birth to ten children in the alley.
Therefore, Ge was also named a first-class imperial edict by the emperor, which was treated well by the local government.
At this time, Jiangsu Governor Li Huming followed Ge here humbly and said with a smile: "Madam Ge, look, this is the archway built for you under the order. In the future, any official below the earl will have to dismount when he comes here!"
Ge clasped his hands together on his chest: "Amitabha, this is all the emperor's kindness!"
"That's right, the so-called "many children and more blessings" is the greatest contribution in this world to have children!"
Li Huming said this naturally to the women who came with Ge.
These women all looked at the men in their homes because of this.
Most of these men looked embarrassed because of this. Although giving birth is a woman's business, now because of the court doing this, the pressure from parents and wives at home is also a bit too high.
They thought they could have a free time at home without joining the army or working, but they didn't expect that they would have a "production task" at home.
"Send the money."
Ge said at this time, according to the current customs, the archway was built, and her newly-sealed high-quality imperial edict was to be paid for the joy of her.
"Why!"
So his brothers and uncles instructed the hired workers to carry several baskets of small silver coins and spread them to the streets outside the archway.
Because the people are rich, the small-denomination happy money is mostly used by children to grab snacks, and adults are disdainful to grab it, and this is precisely in this way to create a scene with many children.
At this time, the children who had already prepared on both sides of the street immediately ran to pick up the wedding money.
There are a large group of people, and they can’t count them.
Zhu Youjiao issued a policy to encourage childbirth not long after ascending the throne, and subsequently issued such decrees one after another. In addition, the people's living standards have improved, so now, there are many children in each family, and most families have six or seven children.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to have so many children in Renqing Lane now.
The chirping sounds made by the children when they picked up wedding money kept ringing with the sound of silver coins falling to the ground.
Adults such as Ge and Li Huming laughed.
This is the case in the prosperous times.
The eldest son Zhu Ciwei, who happened to be passing by here because of his order to patrol the world, also saw this scene.
He had to admit that his father's great efforts to encourage childbirth caused the number of Han people in the Ming Dynasty to increase wildly. According to this trend, the kings of later generations would probably have to continue their father's expansion policy due to this population pressure.
Although the number of Han people is increasing significantly now, it will indeed cause great problems when productivity stops improving in the future and resources cannot increase.
But now, the large increase in the number of Han people is indeed conducive to the external expansion of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao and his assistants did not spend money randomly. Encouraging childbirth is indeed the most important internal affairs to be grasped at the moment.
Because there are many new Han people, there are a steady stream of young Han men and women going north or south.
"Respond to Your Majesty's call, go to the hometown of snow! Go to the end of the sea! There is a vast world where we can realize our ideals!"
"The glorious China has lasted for five thousand years. How can the young people of our clan be imprisoned by the old Master's teachings? We should shed our sweat on the new battlefield and write our legend!"
"What is the great way? It should make the under the sky all the land of the Han family! They are all the people of China! Then we know etiquette and transform from the king! This is the responsibility of our youth! The glaciers in the north are waiting for you to break, and the wilderness in the south are waiting for you to open up, so that the civilization of China can cleanse all the ignorance and backwardness in the place!"
...
In Tongguan.
Meng Ziqiang, a Jinshi who was responsible for missionary education, was shouting slogans to a large number of young people who were in charge of missionary education, and was called to the court with a passionate expression.
These young Ming people in their prime were therefore carrying bags with smiles and bedding basins in and out of Tongguan.
Whether from east or west, it seems that the end of the abortion cannot be seen.
And these people were like the flowing Yellow River, divided into countless tributaries and flowed to the border of the Ming Empire.
Even on the distant Baltic coast and around the Vyborg City, a large number of young Han people gathered here as soldiers or local officials, technicians and cultural teachers.
"In the Rakshasa Kingdom, the number of Eastern people is still increasing, and they never seem to be short of people!"
"Now it seems that if there is really a country in this world that can unify the entire world, then there will be only this Ming country from the East. Their population base is really unimaginable. Therefore, Your Majesty, we must quickly expand our army before it moved more Han people in the Baltic Sea area, and take the initiative to send troops to stop the expansion of the Eastern people. Otherwise, the demise of our nation will only be a foregone conclusion!"
