Liu Yan wants to have more people and rely solely on the womb of Han women to increase the population. That speed will be really slow.
If we really want to keep the purity of blood, with the number of Han ethnic groups after the establishment of the state of Han, the population will be nearly ten million. If mixed race children do not recognize that they are Han, the population will certainly be reduced again.
In terms of a population of tens of millions, not everyone is of childbearing age, and the number of women who can bear children will not exceed 1.5 million at most.
At the same time, these 150 pregnant women, under the current health conditions and the current level of science and technology, not everyone can safely give birth to their babies.
Similarly, not everyone can grow up healthily. In today's general probability, only six out of ten babies can finally grow up. Such a large premature death rate was a common phenomenon in ancient times.
It takes at least thirteen or four years for people to become new reproductive individuals. Each new generation needs a period of growth, which is a very long process.
"I can't wait that long." Liu Yan never hid his ambition: "if there is really not enough population, it is an extravagant hope to expand outward. It is considered to be down. What is the use of no population in the past."
Many officials and bureaucrats have 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. If they do not seize the present opportunity, they will inevitably suffer.
As long as they are important officials in the central government, they actually have a clear impression of the current structure of the Han people. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people killed each other and experienced two large-scale typhoid fever. The population dropped rapidly from the official record of 56 million to 7.6 million.
"Right or wrong, success or failure, turn your head empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for several times." Liu Yan is not poetic. He takes a ride in the car on the road to watch the scenery passing by: "mountains and rivers often exist, but people are generation after generation."
If you really want to look at the blood line, it is unknown whether the population of the Han country established by Liu Yan can exceed ten million. It will take about 15 years to have a group of people who become labor force, which is something he can't accept.
Another thing is that the ancestors of Zhuxia were so few people at the beginning. They absorbed and integrated the defeated tribes in the process of continuous conquest, and gradually expanded their own tribes. If the ethnicity is confirmed only by blood, no one, including Liu Yan, dares to say that their blood is the blood of Zhuxia in the early generation.
It is said that Zhuxia represents the combination of multiple ethnic groups and produces a sense of ideological identity in the form of culture.
A nation must not give up the merger and integration of other nations. In fact, that is also the right way to increase the gene pool.
Simply put, brothers and sisters in the same robe or siblings must not be combined. At the beginning, they did not exclude incest. In fact, they understood that the offspring would have various genetic diseases.
The difference between people and animals is that they will make changes when they know they are wrong. Animals will combine close relatives again and again to produce offspring. Because the IQ of animals is like that, unless there are obvious physical defects, it is difficult to see whether the intelligence is up to the standard. But people are really different. No one wants their offspring to be mentally retarded.
The patrol team has turned back and took the Chi road route from Gaoxian again. Their destination this time is Ma Shijin.
Liu Yan spent a total of five days on the Northeast Plain and inspected several places. It was enough to have an intuitive impression of the place, and he would not go further north or East.
This place is different from other areas in Han Dynasty. It will begin to snow in autumn. It should be covered with ice and snow near the middle of autumn.
Liu Yan was delayed when he went to the grassland because of an enemy attack and was trapped by ice and snow in the northeast. Although they were forced to stop, they were really not the same thing.
Compared with being involved by the enemy, the difficulties from nature will be more uncertain. At least those enemy troops will not pose a real threat to Liu Yan. Even if the patrol troops themselves are uncertain, countless Qin Wang troops will rush to reinforce as time goes by.
In many cases, nature is not what people can resist. If there is a sudden snowstorm and there is preparation for cold, death and injury will inevitably appear. If you want to open a way out, you really don't know when it is.
Coincidentally, as soon as the patrol team returned to Gaoxian, there came the news of a sudden Blizzard over there. No outdoor work could be done, and the traffic was cut off.
"The prime minister's office has already carried out the work of transferring slaves in advance." LV Tai will follow Ma Shijin before returning to his post again: "Your Majesty saw one of them some time ago."
After the snow season, there is nothing else to do in the Northeast except cat winter, so there will not be so many slaves doing nothing in the Han country.
Slaves staying in the Northeast will not only cause waste, but also a double waste of materials and labor. After all, we can't let slaves freeze and starve to death. We should add more clothes, and then burn them all the time. Even if there are local wood everywhere, what can be consumed is the wood stored in advance, not the wood that is hard to burn by ice and snow.
The Han country is extremely short of labor force. After the snowfall season in the northeast, the development must stop. The slaves should be transferred from the northeast to some places where it will snow but not as cold as the northeast, and even to places where it won't snow at all. Continuing to shine and heat is what those slaves should do.
In fact, Gao Xian goes to Zhuoxian county and Gao Xian goes to mashijin. The two roads are transporting people and goods to the mainland every day. When Liu Yan's team set out, it happened that another batch of vehicles loaded with slaves set out.
The gallop road invented by the first Qin Dynasty is more useful than expected. The speed and loading capacity of the car may not be many pieces and multiple, but it is faster and more loaded than simply driving with two legs or traditional carriage transportation.
"It took more than two years to build these two roads, and more than 200000 people were killed and injured." Sang Yu inadvertently read the relevant documents: "there are enough wood resources in the local area. If it is changed to other areas, it will take longer, and there will be more deaths and injuries."
Road construction has never been simple. There are still special explorers to specify the route. It will be more difficult if you don't know how to choose the route of road construction.
"More than 50000 slaves, including those with disabilities, died from chidao in Gaoxian County alone." Liu Yan attached great importance to Chi road. He personally consulted the materials on how each Chi road was built and how much cost, death and injury the construction process had: "that's still the premise for us to cherish the lives of slaves."
Liu Yan remembers a lot of information about road construction.
In order to build the road to Shu, Li Tang dug the plank road. Thousands of people sacrificed one after another. It took several generations to build it again and again. The death and injury should be calculated by hundreds of thousands of people.
In modern times, Chinese people traveled across the sea to search for gold. However, gold was not found. It was sent to build various roads in batches. Under every sleeper of the railway in North America, there was a Chinese body. It's no joke.
The road they are using now from Gaoxian to mashijin takes more time than the one from Zhuoxian to Gaoxian, and the casualties are also more serious. That's because the terrain on this side is more complex. Several sections have to open mountains. Fortunately, there is gunpowder. Otherwise, I don't know what to repair, and there must be several times more deaths and injuries.
Liu Yan first set foot on Ma Shijin before the establishment of the state of Han. At that time, they were forced to evacuate Changguang County, or they first went to the Miaodao islands to breathe, and then found this place for cultivation and rest on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Ma Shijin is actually a modern Lushun. There is a natural deep-water port on this side, which can be easily built. It has not only a natural deep-water port on this side, but also circular arms on the periphery, leaving only one channel for ships to enter. As a military port, it can be more likely to avoid sudden attacks by enemy ships on the water surface, but if it is blocked, it is not easy to go out. It has both advantages and disadvantages.
To enter Liaodong Peninsula, the patrol team must first pass through a wall more than ten miles long. The reason for the establishment of this wall was that Murong Yan came to attack at that time. Liu Yan didn't have many troops at that time. He used few resources to establish the wall defense line, which also made Murong Yan army retreat because it felt that the cost of strong attack was too high.
This is the only place where Liu Yanli built the wall defense line with the system. Behind it, the palace city was built and used. For example, the palace city walls in Linzi and new Chang'an were actually built with the system, not rammed earth structure, but stone.
Now Murong Yan state has been destroyed. Although there are still Murong remnants, it is too far from Liaodong Peninsula. Including Liaodong and other places and the peninsula are all Han soil. In fact, the city wall of Liaodong Peninsula has no great military value, only 500 people are stationed as a symbolic significance.
After entering Liaodong, you can clearly distinguish the difference from the northeast. You can see the forest of villages and towns. Even compared with the mainland, it will still look desolate.
"There is a lot of snow in the northeast. There is only rainfall here." Yu Yi didn't understand what the phenomenon was. In fact, he had never been to Liaodong Peninsula: "the two places are not far apart, but they are two scenes."
Liu Yan has personally experienced more than once that while it is raining, there is no drop on the other side without taking a step. He doesn't think there is anything strange.
When they entered Liaodong Peninsula, they saw prosperity.
The population of Liaodong Peninsula was nearly one million when it was the largest. Although it did not live in a city, villages and towns could be seen everywhere, and naturally there were farmland developed.
At present, Liaodong Peninsula still has a population of more than 500000, which is one of the most populous administrative regions in the border area. Most of them follow Liu Yan when he is down. They do not lack some meritorious families. They also regard themselves as the people close to the son of heaven.
When Liu Yan went out to this place, the people were greeted by thousands of people. The whole station, including the surrounding areas, saw whether people were removed or not. Bursts of slogans shook the ground.
"Your Majesty." After su Le finished, I saw that he was old and was elected as the representative to meet Liu Yan. He was dressed in all his clothes: "Your Majesty has come again after eight years. I finally see your majesty again."
In fact, Liu Yan has forgotten who the person in front of him is. First, he is not impressed by Su Lewan, the head of the first Qiang family accepted in Changguang county. Second, there are too many things to deal with every day. It's really difficult to remember everyone clearly.
Of course, Liu Yancai won't say he doesn't know, smile kindly and ask how he is doing, how many children and grandchildren he has.
"Well done. There are many children and grandchildren. They are all working for your majesty." After su Le finished, I specially mentioned Su Dong, the Sheriff of tieliaoxi County, saying that he was his eldest son. I met Liu Yan more than once when I was a child. He mentioned several later, either as a local official or in the army, as if the whole family were working for Liu Yan: "I'm old, so I'll provide for the aged here."
Liu Yan remembered that the family was originally Qiang, but it was also almost sinicized Qiang. It was one of the families he took the initiative to join when he started his family. His next thought was that there were six local officials in the family. The most promising one was the Sheriff of a county. The worse one was the important position in the county, not to mention the other four in the army. The highest position was the school captain, which could be regarded as a family of officials.
Their original surname is Su Le, which has been changed to the Su surname. It will not be the best family for foreigners to become Han people, but it also looks quite good. There are not many naturalized Han people like the Su family. Qian Jiantong, who was originally a Hun, is the best among the naturalized Hu.
The welcoming ceremony soon ended, and then there was an official led carnival. Liu Yan must participate in it. Even if he pretended to remember the meritorious officials and be kind to the people of the dragon, otherwise there would be a stain of being mean and ungrateful.
In the state of Han, there are domesticated Hu Huns, but they account for a small proportion. There are only 99.9% of the centers, about 10% of the middle-level people who are born of domesticated Hu Huns, and about 20% of the grass-roots people. In fact, the real right to speak is still in the hands of the Han people.
The official registered residence of the Han nationality is only one ethnic group. The registered residence is not Chinese. It is sure that it can not participate in the system. Liu Yan does not need to engage in the project of ethnic minorities to the international community. He knows that the national division is the more pure and better.
After getting on board, Liu Yan asked people to find Su Dong's resume. At first glance, Su Dong's ability may not be very outstanding, but it still belongs to the type of dedication. He looked at the resume of another Subei who was a school captain, which was much more beautiful.
"Seventeen members of the lineal clan of the Su family died in the war, and there are more collateral branches..." Liu Yan is actually afraid of the official family. He knows that all official families can become aristocratic families and even door lords at any time: "no matter what future generations are, at least any generation of pioneers have paid."
If you have worked hard for most of your life, but you haven't created any value, even if you have created anything, it can't help future generations. What's the difference between living in vain?
