Yang Zhong found Yang Song in the study and reported: "Your Majesty, the food brought back by the caravan has arrived!"

"Well, it's good to be here. Is there anything else?" Yang Song sat behind the desk and asked without raising his head. He was currently comparing the small map and drawing new maps, all of which belonged to hostile forces.

.

Since they were already hostile, they had to prepare in advance, so Yang Song sent people to notify Di Qing and asked him to send people to explore the terrain of these territories!

Yang Zhong continued to reply: "Back to you, yes, there is something wrong with these grains. They are all black beans that I have never seen before!"

"Oh?" After Yang Song heard that it was food he had never seen before, he raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Are these black beans inedible?"

If so, then he has plans to send troops to attack the city. Anyway, the other party now regards the Xia Kingdom as hostile.

Yang Zhong replied: "That's not the case, it's just that these beans are very unpalatable. Even if they are ground into bean powder, they are all black, not to mention ugly, and very rough!"

Fortunately, Yang Zhong's answer temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending troops, as long as these unpalatable black beans can be eaten.

If the people of the Xia Kingdom don't eat it, aren't there still those southern barbarians who are mining?

Thinking of this, Yang Song asked Yang Zhong: "Have you tried using these black beans to recruit people from refugee camps?"

"Back to the king, I tried it, but it doesn't work! The refugee camp can only use these familiar foods produced in the country. According to my speculation, it should be related to the eating habits of the people in the country!"

Yang Zhong's answer made Yang Song not too disappointed. He had thought of it himself, but he just wanted to give it a try, but there really wasn't any loophole in the result.

Think about it, if the standard of 'edible' is used as the definition of 'food', then there will be more things to use to recruit people. Even if the grass, weeds, and tree bark are 'edible', isn't it?

Say, these things can also recruit people?

The result is definitely not possible. Only food recognized by the people of Xia Kingdom can be used as an exchange for recruitment. In this way, the conditions for recruitment are a bit restrictive!

Recruiting people would consume a lot of the country's food reserves. Therefore, Yang Song could not rely solely on systematic refugee camps, but had to find another method.

But now there are only a few ways to increase the population of Xia Kingdom, one is natural reproduction, the other is plundering the outside population, and the third is using food to recruit refugees.

The third method is to consume a certain amount of food in a short period of time and quickly expand the population. The advantage is obvious, that is, the speed of population expansion is fast. As long as there is enough food, there is no problem in expanding the population by hundreds of thousands a day, but the disadvantage is

It is also obvious that the consumption is too great, and the current Xia Kingdom does not dare to let go of the recruitment. Moreover, if too many refugees are recruited at one time, the Xia Kingdom will also suffer from indigestion, and any kind of chaos may happen!

The second method has already been tried by Xia State, that is, the southern barbarians who are mining. The advantage is that it can quickly increase the labor force. Even if they die from overwork, they will not feel bad. There are many disadvantages. There will be casualties during the expedition.

Consumption; even slaves still need to eat and consume food. This method also has the most important shortcoming, that is, when the foreign population exceeds the number of main subjects, it is easy to be de-assimilated!

The first method is slow, takes a long time, is stable and controllable, and does not consume much in a short time. But in the long run, when the baby grows up from birth, the consumption is not small at all, but this method has a maximum

The advantage is that these people who have grown up have the strongest recognition and sense of identification with the Xia Kingdom, and under the compulsory education of the Xia Kingdom, the success rate is very high!

The indicator of talent rate alone is worth investing in. Therefore, he issued an order: to encourage childbirth throughout the country, couples in Xia must have one child (except for infertility), and a pig will be rewarded for two children.

The reward for the third child is a house, the reward for the fourth child is ten acres of land, the reward for the fifth child is a contribution medal, the reward for the sixth child is ten years of tax exemption, and...

Anyway, the more children you have, the greater the rewards will be.

As for why the first child is compulsory, it is because it is an obligation! As a citizen of the Xia Kingdom, you have an obligation! So there is no reward!

In the propaganda of Yang Li of the Publicity Bureau, Xia people, whether they are officials or common people, whether they are monarchs or farmers, as long as they are Xia people, in this new world, for the sake of the entire nation, in order to survive, that is to increase the population.

A must!

That’s why this order was issued. The term of this order is ten years!

It’s not that the period of encouraging childbirth is only ten years, but the content of the rewards will no longer be applicable after a certain period of time and should be revised!

Moreover, after ten years, we will know whether this order is useful or not. If it is not useful or of little use, there will be a time limit that can be more flexible!

In general, in order to increase the competitiveness of the ethnic group, the number of people is necessary! For the sake of civilization and the ethnic group, Yang Song will do whatever it takes!

Even if this place is full hundreds of years later, we will seize the living space of the indigenous people, even at the risk of war!

Even if after thousands of years there are no natives on this planet and all the people on this planet are Xia people, then let’s go into the universe!

He still doesn't believe it. With the current education system, thousands of years later, he still won't be able to travel among the stars! If he really can't, then this ethnic group will be exterminated by himself, then he can only blame himself for not living up to expectations!

Yang Song didn't want to think that in a few decades or hundreds of years, there wouldn't even be a single person who could speak Chinese in this country. If this happened, he might as well not come to this world!

This is a battle for survival, but also a competition of intelligence and courage!

This is also the only motivation Yang Song has after coming to this world.

If Yang Song had no desire to move forward, then he could now be a domineering monarch of a small country south of Tianma Pass, and there would be a system to help him, and no one could restrict him!

Fortunately, he still has a long-term vision and a little ambition, and does not only see the territory in front of him. Fortunately!

…

Yang Song instructed: "Since it can't be used for recruitment, then send it to Feilong Island and feed it to those Nanman!"

Yang Zhong cupped his hands and accepted the order and said: "Yes, I will do it now!"

"Wait~!" Yang Song stopped Yang Zhong who was about to leave and asked: "Is the output of the ore produced on Feilong Island enough?"

Yang Zhong didn't think too much, he just calculated it in his mind and replied: "Go back to your Majesty, Ying Jing is enough!"

"Oh, really? That's okay. Remember to maintain the output of ore, only more, not less!" After saying that, he waved his hand and told Yang Zhong to leave if nothing happened!

When Yang Song thought about so many foreigners in the country, he was always a little worried. He always felt that these indigenous people would cause some trouble, so he asked Yang Zhong to increase mineral production and not let these indigenous people be too idle!

These captured natives were all young and strong women. Working together created a very troublesome problem, which was the fertility problem of the natives.

Originally, we planned to only have young and strong women, but there were not enough people, and in order to maximize the use of the natives, we had to bring these strong women as well.

Therefore, it is easy for "happy things to happen" when mixed together. Therefore, the island is divided into two concentration camps for men and women, who live and work separately.

And once a pregnancy occurs, then I'm sorry, the Xia Kingdom does not support the indigenous people who have no labor force, so they have to be used to feed the fish!

The loss of one or two natives is not a big deal, and it won't delay anything. But once this trend is indulged, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Xia Kingdom wants labor, not to help these natives immigrate overseas!
