If we have to follow the population base of more than 30 million, the most inflated estimate is that if Sima Ji, the King of Yan, lived for thirty years, could see the day the population of the Jin Dynasty exceeded 100 million. This is not an exaggerated calculation.

Comparing an example from later generations, during the 30 years since Mubarak ruled Egypt, the Egyptian population increased from 35 million when he came to power to 83 million. After a few years, Egypt's population successfully exceeded 100 million. Then the population of the Jin Dynasty is about 35 million now. If he became an old man in his seventies, he would be able to successfully see that day.

Moreover, this expansion is getting faster and faster, because the population base is getting bigger and bigger, the emperors of Kang and Yonggan in the Qing Dynasty were indeed ruthless, and they have almost eliminated all the threats from the traditional agricultural empire. In just a hundred years, the population of the Qing Dynasty expanded to 400 million, which has approached the limit of Chinese land.

The reason for saying that it is a high-yield foreign crop is not very important. The main factor is that the time of peace and war has been around for a century. It has become very precious in Chinese history, and the population will naturally expand more and more.

Sima Ji definitely wouldn't play fertility restrictions, so there is only one way to start a war with the outside world. Learning from Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han successfully used the war against the Huns, which not only did not increase, but instead decreased. After all, he defeated the Han Dynasty and suffered both losses and the Huns.

There is only one way to use foreign wars to drag down population expansion and delay population explosion.

"I actually felt that in the past, I would not have too many people to support the Nanzheng except the royal family, especially the people who relocated to the land and moved to the country. In addition, they might have some resistance to death. Now it seems that it is not impossible to fight for the people's hearts to go to war with the outside world!" Sima Ji looked at the confidants sitting in the list and said, "At the end of the day, I will let the Secretariat pass the imperial edict to the Yishuai Ningzhou. During this time, I hope that you will spread the trend of population growth in the Jin Dynasty as much as possible, so that the people must know that as long as the growth of registered population from the Taikang period to the present, I will directly ask the people whether they want to starve to death because the land is not enough, or to go to war with the royal family. I believe this is not difficult to choose. The people can continue to live, but the land does not have this function."

"If Mo Jiang is willing to do this, he will definitely let the people support the King of Yan and the royal family to go to war with the outside world." Qian Ming said with a solemn expression, "If Mo Jiang had not been doing this for three years, he would not have thought that the household registration would have grown so quickly."

"There is still time now. It is okay for our current land to carry 10 million households, but it won't work any more." Sima Ji scratched his scalp hard. He always thought that the population problem was still far away from the Jin Dynasty. In fact, it was indeed very far away than other dynasties. How far is it, thirty years away.

When he was the prince, he would never have thought that one day he would be worried about the population growth. After all, he had a long time to go to grab people. But things were like this. Although this trouble has not arrived soon, he is also coming step by step.

There is no problem with the royal family. You should know that over the past three years, many Sima's children have grown up and reached the age of being able to be crowned kings. The desire for fiefdoms is increasing day by day. Now, as long as the people know their current situation, Nanzheng is gathering the national strength to promote it.

This matter is not enough to gather the national strength. It is not difficult for the natives on the islands in Southeast Asia, but the climate is difficult. If the grassland can also be farmed, Sima Ji would not have to go to war across dimensions.

But population growth cannot be said to be imminent now, but entering the fast lane has been a matter of decades. While you are not too old, you must divert conflicts and start a war to the outside world. Now it is a good time to start a war.

As soon as a group of confidant generals left, dozens of royal families arrived at the Yan King's Mansion again. Before Sima Ji returned to Jicheng, he left behind to go back to see how the shipbuilding of the Youzhou navy had progressed. If he was ready, he would start the southern expedition. The word Nanzheng is now a word that the entire royal family is obsessed with, and they are more anxious than the Yan King.

"No need to hide it, many royal children have not yet been granted the title of king. I understand." Before the royal family members who came to the Yan Palace spoke, Sima Ji began to say, "Every year the fleets we go out have progress on new land and islands. I believe you have seen it, it is not smaller than the states of our Great Jin Dynasty. The world now belongs to the emperor, and the other world belongs to our kings, which is enough to be the fiefdom of our kings."

The land islands that Sima Ji mentioned are actually lands that were not occupied by the East Indies and the Indochina Peninsula, but not Australia. It is no mistake to say that they are not smaller than this world. In the traditional sense, the world is the area after the Qin Dynasty unified the Warring States Period. It is three million square kilometers south of the Great Wall, and the area of ​​the Indochina Peninsula plus the East Indies is 4.5 million square kilometers. In addition to occupying land in the state and Funan, more than three million is enough.

"Uncle, it's not that we are anxious, but we have to settle this matter, right?" Sima Bing, the King of Guangyang, said that he was not anxious, but his expression was obviously very anxious, and he blurted out his words, "We are also trying to open up the territory and establish unparalleled achievements and leave a name in history."

It sounds so nice. Sima Ji had a sensible expression, but wasn’t it for his own fiefdom? He opened up territory, established unparalleled achievements, and left his name in history? If he wanted to kill people and seize land?

Sima Bing is the son of King Sima Ji of Qi. He had already been king. However, later, King Sima Ji of Qi was killed by King Sima Yi of Changsha, and all of Sima Ji's sons were deposed. After Sima Ji entered the capital, he directly pushed the conflict between King Qi and King Changsha to the plan of alienation of King Sima Yong of Hejian, and restored the throne to Sima Yi and Sima Ji's sons, but they did not give them the fiefdom, as if they had forgotten this matter.

The title of the King of Guangyang is just literal. The land on Guangyang is not his fiefdom.

Now he is not sure whether the King of Changsha and King Qi still have hatred, but he, as the King of Yan, is still reasonable on the surface and dare not make any mistakes.

"I can understand the feeling of King Guangyang making contributions to the country. Since I said this, I will not hide it. What blocked Ben'an was not the local natives who could fight. I had seen the combat power of the natives in Linyi before. It was very brave to go barefoot." Sima Ji sat upright and said, "The southern expedition was for the fiefdom of our royal family and for the people to have a piece of land to cultivate. However, my Central Plains soldiers were not able to adapt to the environment in Jiangnan. This battle must be helpful."

"It's like King Shu taking Xianbei soldiers as the leader." King Qi Sima clapped and said quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, King Liang Sima Xi cleared his throat and reminded Sima Shenyan. Although this is something that everyone in the world knows, it is not good to spread after all.

"It's right to say that, probably that's it. I chose elite soldiers and horses in the country, and selected 50,000 infantry and 20,000 naval troops. However, such a large piece of land and so many islands, to be honest, I may not be able to complete it all until I die. The 70,000 water army of 6 is not a big number compared to the number of these islands, but this is also the limit that I can do." Sima Ji sighed, "The soldiers and horses conquered in the Central Plains are all strong and strong. They have given double status and treatment compared to ordinary soldiers and horses. It's not enough to recruit more people. After all, the world has only been stable for three years, and they can only do so."

There was no exact number of Indonesia in the later generations of the East Indies, but it was about 20,000. Sima Ji said that he could only get one a day, and he could not finish it until he died. It was a complete truth.

"So, we must naturally be able to adapt to the local climate as an auxiliary. In recent years, we have rewarded the Yishou in Ningzhou. From time to time, we find a Yishou to the capital to prepare for this. This is the same reason why the Barbarian tribe in Yangzhou, Guangzhou was given official seals. Only when they are willing to serve us can we minimize the losses." Sima Ji looked at the vassal kings and said, "It has been more than three years of preparation now, and I also think that we can start the southern expedition. However, before this, we will issue an order to let these Yishou and the Barbarian King enter the capital. Don't talk nonsense at that time."

"Don't worry, King Yan, we know the importance!" The kings nodded one after another. Today they officially heard the progress of the southern expedition from Sima Ji's mouth, so they were naturally in a good mood, saying that these are all people of my great Jin Dynasty, and it is appropriate to be inclusive and inclusive.

"Since that's the case, just wait for Ningzhou Yishang to enter Beijing!" Sima Ji yawned, and the royal families said goodbye one after another.

The next morning, Sima Ji entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor and visited the queen of the central palace who was still recovering from postpartum.

"I'm sitting alone in the deep palace, and the King of Yan is very interested and went back to Jicheng." Yang Xianrong said with a sick look, "I had arrived in the capital yesterday and only came here today."

"Don't I avoid suspicion? Do you let me go out and shout that the prince is my son?" Sima Ji smiled bitterly and said softly, "You know this, and I can't have a third person to know."

"You have changed thousands of palace maids in the entire palace. Who dares to talk too much? You liar. You have been lying to me." Yang Xianrong said with a hint of shame flashing across her face and biting her silver teeth. It was not until the two of them were in the room that they knew that they had nothing in Taishan that day. Of course, this was just mumbling and asking, "Every time they entered the palace, they said they came to ask the emperor for the imperial edict. What about this time?"

"Please give an order to summon the Yishang of Ningzhou, Jing and Yang's Barbarian Kings into Beijing, and the leaders of the Qiang people in the northwest." As soon as Sima Ji opened his mouth, Yang Xianrong looked like this, "The King of Yan is really busy with all his affairs and works hard for my great Jin."

"When you work hard, your son is the cheapest." Sima Ji paused, "Thank you for your hard work."
