    The land to be conquered in the future is at least tens of millions of square kilometers, which requires a large population. In fact, even if we develop domestic demand, we still need a large population.  There are examples that show that population is the basis of a country¡¯s industry. If the population is less than one million, there is no possibility of industrial revolution.  With a population of less than 10 million, there is no possibility of a second industrial revolution.  With a population of less than 100 million, there is no possibility of a third industrial revolution.  And in future development, as the division of labor becomes more detailed, more talents will be needed, which will of course require more people.  In the future, humans will break out of the solar system. Wang Dou estimates that there are not tens of billions of people, so there is no need to talk about it.  At this time, the fertility of the Han people was very good. It was normal to have seven or eight children in a family, but the mortality rate was too high. For example, in Wang Dou's family, his mother Zhong gave birth to no less than six children, but only Wang died.  Fighting an only son.  There are also various diseases that are also afflicting the people at this time, especially women. Therefore, it is necessary to develop female doctors and cultivate gynecological experts.  Wang Dou wrote above: "Female medical departments will be opened during the scientific examination, and the grade and treatment of female medical officers will be the same as that of male medical officers. Every county must set up a female medical clinic to treat women. To avoid material disputes, men will stop." Wang Dou also wrote  He said: "Infant drowning is strictly prohibited. Violators will be punished with murder. The local security chief and township chief will be punished." He added: "Both parents are guilty of drowning infants. The youngest children and girls will be confiscated and raised by the state."  Looking at the possible future population of the various governorates, Wang Dou frowned slightly. Even though he had thought of many ways and measures, the population price was still too small compared to what he wanted.  Western people have a relatively low concept of leaving their homeland, but their colonies are often hampered by the small population of their own countries, so it is difficult to develop.  The Central Plains has a large population, but they are limited by the concept that it is difficult to leave their homeland. The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own doghouses. They are not willing to leave their hometown and go abroad either because they cannot survive anymore.  ¡°When the population of a place is less than a certain level, it is often difficult to form a stable social atmosphere, making local people want to take root, and it is difficult to stabilize the place.  Just like if a county only has a population of more than a thousand, the county will slowly die.  He focused on the vassal kings and wrote: "All vassal kingdoms are prohibited from enfeoffing lands in China. The relatives of each vassal king can go to the country of the Protectorate. They are allowed to recruit their own population and troops to attack it. The fiefdom is based on the size of the county, five thousand  Only square kilometers. Those who take the initiative will receive a 20% discount on the central government's property." Wang Dou wrote: "Anyone who dares to resist will be exiled to the governor's territory. In addition, the intelligence department can secretly incite rebellion among some feudal lords.  After the rebellion was over, the leader was punished and all the subordinates were exiled. Half of the population of those who participated in the prefectures and counties were exiled to the governor's office. "Wang Douping wrote that to solve certain population problems, he took a closer look at each governor's office.  Strategy for attacking and plundering the government.  In the Western Expedition, it is no problem to kill all the countries along the way, the upper and middle levels of each tribe, destroy all their books and intellectuals, and wipe out all traces of their culture.  But Nanlue He thought for a while and then wrote instead: "Indian culture is special, and the hierarchy has not moved for thousands of years. It can be a white Brahmin or a white Kshatriya, without affecting its high-level interests. The vassal king can also be exiled here.  " After careful consideration of the future development of each Protectorate, talents will become very important and precious, and even old intellectuals will be in high demand.  He thought for a while and wrote: "We can hoard a large number of prison officials and old scholars and buy them at auction. The starting price for a scholar is 500 silver yuan. For a scholar, the price is 5,000 silver yuan. For a Jinshi, the price is negotiable. For wholesale, the minimum price is 10 people.  The price is 20% off. "  After confirming all the matters of the Protectorate, Wang Dou reviewed this internal affairs. Regarding the personnel and taxes, he originally planned to divide the land into small households, but after careful consideration, he decided to cancel it all.  Fu, which began with Shang Yang's reform in the Qin Dynasty, is also a way of talking about head tax and labor. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called household registration, salt, banknotes, silver, and the labor attached to the Dingkou.  Taxes and servitude are inevitable throughout life. Even if the government sometimes exempts people from taxes during disaster years, they will not exempt them from taxes.  Even if you don¡¯t have any land and you become a refugee, the government may not levy taxes on you, but you still can¡¯t escape your taxes.  There are also servants accompanying it.  In the Ming Dynasty, the labor force was very frequent, the money for labor service was very complicated, and the people were miserable.  This is also why Li Chuang¡¯s slogan ¡°If you don¡¯t do a job, you don¡¯t pay for food¡± is so seductive.  During the Qing Dynasty, it was proposed to divide people into acres, but it was just a division. The head tax and labor burden were still there, but part of it was borne by the landowners and gentry, and some taxes were merged.  Wang Dou believed that it would be better to put an end to the tin silver system and the labor service system. There were a lot of hidden fields in all dynasties. It is easy to understand that the gentry, officials and businessmen used various means to hide it in order to avoid land taxes.  However, there are a large number of hidden households in each generation, which is the scourge of poll tax and labor service.  A large number of hidden households?It is extremely detrimental to national planning because it is difficult to propose development goals without knowing the specific population size, which is extremely detrimental to economic development.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT  ¡°And if the system is well designed, the money spent by the government will eventually return to the government.  Because although hiring workers costs money, workers still need to eat, drink, spend money, and have entertainment. This will drive the development of a large-scale tertiary industry and enhance domestic demand.  As domestic demand increases, part of it will naturally be transferred back to the government in the form of taxes, which is just a round trip. It also promotes economic circulation and enhances economic vitality.  Hiring workers can also create large-scale employment. This is a trick that has been tried and tested by various countries in later generations. If labor is levied, it will increase instability factors on a large scale.  The most famous example is the "One Eye of the Mo Dao Stone Man, Inciting the Yellow River to Rebellion" during the Yuan Dynasty. This is forced labor.  If the common people are all paid enough to make a living, it is a foreign rule, and those who secretly spread rumors may be picked out and torn into pieces by the common people, because their jobs are smashed.  People in future generations are looking forward to infrastructure construction, hoping that their hometowns can build bridges and roads, and any high-speed high-speed rail will pass through it. But if this kind of infrastructure construction involves large-scale expropriation of people to work for nothing, Yang Guang is the best example.  Wang Dou concentrated for a long time, and finally wrote: "In terms of land tax, all miscellaneous taxes, fire costs, and extra taxes are exempted. All taxes and servitude are exempted!" Wang Dou wrote this sentence to represent the future under his rule, which has been implemented for thousands of years since the Qin Dynasty.  The system of servitude will end at his hands.  Just this short sentence will cause earth-shaking waves in the future.  With this short sentence, Wang Dou will be remembered in history, and the history books will be passed down by thousands of people. However, maybe If Wang Dou does this, as far as the people are concerned, whether they are gentry or ordinary people, they will naturally raise their hands.  I support it with all my feet, because this is earth-shattering benevolence.  Needless to say, ordinary people have been suffering from taxes and servitude for a long time. Even some gentry and wealthy families may have hundreds of people in their family. Through various means, they only need to pay a dozen people's silver and servitude. However, it does not mean that they are willing to pay.  This money.  ??????????????????????????So the exemption of taxes and servitude during the introduction must have received rave reviews from the people, and the opponents came from the government.  Because this means that fiscal expenditures will increase on a large scale and people will have to be hired for everything. What should some poor local governments do if they have no money?  If there is no money and the people cannot be requisitioned, the necessary projects cannot be started. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the agricultural society, the tax is roughly this amount, and even decreases as the dynasty lasts. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the highest tax rate was during the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang period.  The government has no money and has to do things, so it is impossible to prevent the people from working completely in vain.  Wang Dou has his own method of making money, which is enough to pay for future project costs, but it cannot be one size fits all. It must be done step by step by region.  Wang Dou wrote this short sentence. His expression was calm and his writing was very plain. However, he knew how big the movement would be in the future.  In fact, Wang Dou thought of many ways to deal with the problem of hiding the household, but he found that any method was useless. The so-called sharing the family into the whole family had no effect, so he simply avoided it.  ¡­ ¡­ Next, Wang Dou reviewed and revised several items, such as the training of technical schools and mathematics talents, scientific examination subjects, the establishment of customs, etc.  The last article he read was about the Industrial Revolution.  "The premise of the industrial revolution is the agricultural revolution. Only when the people are well fed and have more surplus materials, will there be demand for exchange and a huge market will be born. In order to meet the huge market demand, production-oriented businessmen must increase productivity and produce massive amounts of goods.  Commodities continue to meet the needs of the people. When the demand for commodities cannot meet the needs of the people, production-oriented businessmen must improve equipment and develop higher technologies, and the industrial revolution is born. " "So the premise is the agricultural revolution. If there is insufficient grain and rice.  , the people are hungry and cold, even if they forcibly develop industry and produce goods, the lack of purchasing power of the people will only cause overproduction and form an economic crisis. The essence of the economic crisis is that the people have no money and domestic demand is sluggish" Wang Douzhu wrote: "The essence of businessmen is greed.  When there is overproduction, they would rather pour goods into the river than lower prices. Therefore, the only way to solve the economic crisis is not to rely on the conscience of businessmen, but to boost domestic demand and make people's pockets richer.  "The only factor that determines the fate of commodities is the market. There are two types of markets: internal markets and external markets. To avoid excessive economic fluctuations, we must not rely too much on the external market."Domestic demand should be given top priority.  ¡± He wrote: ¡°So the first five-year plan should focus on farmland water conservancy and infrastructure construction. In five years, hunger and cold will be basically eliminated. The per capita annual national income will be about 12 to 15 silver dollars, and the gross national product will reach  " "After the second five-year plan, strong domestic demand, coupled with the vast market for external land conquest, there will be the possibility of an industrial revolution.  " Wang Dou leaned on the chair and thought for a long time. He finally took a puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt in the vat, closed the book, and put it in the drawer. " Footsteps sounded, it was the guard camp leader who gently adjusted the clock to the sun  Voice: "General.  Wang Dou said: "Is everyone here?"  "Zhong Tiaoyang said: "No matter whether they are civil or military, they are all waiting in the lobby.  " Wang Dou took a breath: "Then let's go.  " He said: "It's time to start.  " They walked out of the public house. In the corridor outside were soldiers from the guard camp, who were guarding the camp every three steps and one post every five steps. They were all wearing fish-scale armor and stood motionless. Only when Wang Dou came over, they looked at him with incomparable reverence.  They entered the meeting hall. When Wang Dou turned around the screen, he saw the hall full of people, including civil servants and generals from the Protectorate. They were talking softly, and their voices were mixed, as if they were expressing various emotions.  When Wang Dou appeared, they all looked over, their eyes full of excitement, excitement, and nervousness. Many people's faces even turned red. Wang Dou walked toward them with a smile, and everyone gathered around him.  , they said excitedly: "General.  " "General.  " "General.  " They called, and their voices became louder and louder, and finally seemed to merge into a buzzing sound. Wang Dou looked at them with a smile, and he whispered: "Are you all ready?  " Zhang Gui shouted: "General, everything is ready.  " Wen Fangliang said: "General, everything is ready.  " Han Chao said: "General, we have already prepared.  " Everyone said: "General, everything is ready.  " A smile bloomed from his face. At this moment, Wang Dou was in a daze. Finally, the day has come. He took a deep breath and said: "Then, let's issue a ******, a general mobilization of the people!  "(~^~)
