Last year, the land administration was rectified and the land was cleared across the country. In ancient times, the land clearing was always accompanied by a population check.
Today, the Ministry of Household Affairs has handed over a summary, and the population in the south is increasing too fast!
The last census was conducted five years ago. There were 86.77 million people (over 12 years old) in the whole country, and now it has soared to 99.15 million people (including newly occupied areas such as Vietnam, excluding overseas territories such as Luzon).
The average annual population growth rate has been above 2.5%.
Jiangsu's population growth rate is the fastest and has remained above 2.9% for a long time. The population of the province has exceeded 9 million. The surrounding area of ??Nanjing is Jinling Prefecture, which is directly administered by the central government and is not under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu. However, Shanghai and its surrounding areas are under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province.
Excluding the urban population without land, Jiangsu farmers have about 8 mu of arable land per capita.
It seems that there is a lot of arable land per capita, but it includes a lot of coastal saline-alkali land. Moreover, there are many rich families in Jiangsu. As long as they honestly hand over their land property, each person can keep 20 acres of good land. This 20 acres of good land per capita can be converted into more bad land. Therefore, the per capita arable land of ordinary farmers must be less than 8 mu.
Furthermore, because children do not register for household registration until they are 12 years old, farmers have a lot of children in their families. If children are included, the per capita arable land of ordinary farmers in Jiangsu is very likely to be less than 5 mu.
The Jiangxi side is even more terrifying. Since Zhao Han ruled the earliest and escaped the great famine in the late Ming Dynasty, the population did not drop as sharply as the Jiangxi side. Although they continued to migrate to the north, the current population has exceeded 10 million. On paper, the per capita arable land area of ??farmers is less than 6 mu (excluding children under the age of 12), which also includes a large amount of mountainous land.
In addition, there are many nobles in Jiangxi, such as Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, whose military merits have exceeded the limit of 100 mu per capita, and a large number of soldiers have also been granted land due to meritorious service. In some families with many children in Jiangxi, after the children are 12 years old and registered, the per capita arable land in the family is less than 3 mu.
Jiangxi has many mountains and little land, how much food can be grown in a few acres of mountain land?
The people in those mountainous areas still eat sweet potatoes and corn as their staple food, and they can't afford rice at all. The more children you have, the more difficult life is for a farmer.
More and more farmers in Jiangxi, because of their limited land resources, are scrambling to farm the land of nobles and rich families. In recent years, the nobles who have given more land and the rich families who have reserved more land no longer need to buy foreign slaves to farm the land. There are also many young farmers who came out of the mountains, handed over the land to their father and brother for farming, and went to work in the county town by themselves.
Fujian is even worse, with less arable land but a growing population.
In the case of only a few acres of land per capita, and most of them are mountainous, more and more farmers in the coastal areas of Fujian go to sea to run boats. But they are unwilling to immigrate, even the nearest Taiwan, they do not want to emigrate there, and always keep their household registration on the mainland.
Taiwan Prefecture is currently under the jurisdiction of Fujian. In addition to Taiwan Island, Ryukyu County and Fangzhang County established in Ryukyu are also under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Prefecture.
Zhao Han said to Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Immigrants to the north were suspended last time, but the south still cannot stop. There are too few Han people in Taiwan, especially in Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties. The total number of Han people in the two counties is only more than 30,000. Fujian and Guangdong provinces will immigrate 50,000 people to Taiwan within three years."
"Abiding by the order!" Guo Shunyu cupped his hands.
Zhao Han thought for a while, and continued: "Jiangxi has too many people, and 10,000 people emigrate to Hebei every year."
Zhao Han still takes good care of the people in Jiangxi. After all, it is the land of Longxing, and he can't bear to immigrate to the remote and bitter Liaoning.
Hebei is an excellent place to immigrate. The current population of the province is only 1.8 million (excluding Beiping Prefecture). Although it is relatively cold, you can divide the fields when you go there, and they are all divided into good fields, which is much more cost-effective than farming mountainous land in Jiangxi.
If this growth rate continues, in five years, the national population will be close to 120 million. In another twenty years, the per capita arable land area in several southern provinces with large populations will fall below 4 mu. Fifty years from now, the conflict between man and earth will become very tense.
However, it is a good thing for overseas expansion and industrial development.
The more tense the conflict between man and land, the more people are willing to go out to sea, and the more people are willing to leave the land and work in factories.
But if there are too many, it will definitely explode.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, the population was counted in the eighth year of Shunzhi, that is, the first two years. At that time, the population of Dingkou was 10 million, and it can be speculated that the population was about 30 million to 40 million. After only fifty years, the population of the Qing Dynasty had risen to 80 million. Fifty years later, the population of the Qing Dynasty soared to 180 million. Twenty years later, the population exceeded 200 million.
A population of 200 million is estimated to be the limit of the sweet potato prosperity, and uprisings of various scales will continue to emerge.
Of course, the population can continue to increase, QingHowever, China's diplomatic note has not yet been sent.
The gold seal of King Nanbawa engraved by the Ministry of Rites has just been brought to Guangzhou by the envoy. However, the letter of credence of Sultan Nanbawa has been presented, and he has essentially become a vassal state of China.
The Dutch army came outside the city of Nanbawa.
The Sudan of the country was shocked, and quickly sent people out of the city to shout: "Nangbawa has surrendered to China, we are China's vassals, attacking us is a war with China!"
The Dutch general who returned from the victory in Sri Lanka didn't care about so many, and immediately ordered: "Either submit to the Netherlands, hand over the gold mines, and allow the Netherlands to preach here. Or accept the shelling!"
?After several days of shelling, the Sudan couldn't bear it anymore, and actually went out of the city to surrender.
The Chinese envoys also took the king's golden seal and came to the nearby waters by boat.
The Dutch warship came, and the two sides communicated, and the Chinese envoy was a little speechless: the king he was ordered to canonize actually returned to the Netherlands.
