Chapter 606 Bubbling (Part 2)(2/2)

Moreover, under Wang Jujie's advice, the maritime merchants also signed an agreement with the migrant people. If an accident occurs, each family can compensate 100 yuan for their relatives who are left in the mainland. The regulations are also made to settle the local area and immediately ask them to write a letter, and then take it back to the country by the sea boat. Moreover, Wang Ju warned the people that they secretly agreed with their relatives before the migration and made a mark on the letter to prevent the maritime merchants from sending people to fake their relatives to write a letter back after the incident.

There is another flexible regulation. If the spices and pearls brought back by the maritime merchants are smuggled, there is no way. If they do not smuggle into the port, they must be bought by the Neiku.

The inner warehouse does not pay for copper coins, but mostly exchanges materials such as silk, porcelain, tea, etc., or gold and silver with sea merchants.

Therefore, if the people gain something overseas, they will pay for the silk gold and silver spices in the inner warehouse, and the maritime merchants will withdraw a portion of them from them and distribute them to their families and relatives.

Why do sea merchants use household calculations? As long as they are one family, whether they are one or ten people, they pay a 100% ticket fee.

This is intended to encourage the whole family to migrate.

But it was overseas. Except for those people who really couldn't survive, the rest of the people were willing to go overseas together?

Therefore, most people have families and family members stay in the mainland.

Then in the second year, many people really wrote letters back, and some people began to gain a lot of gains, and the maritime merchants did not embezzle their income, and sent people to their families with silk and gold and silver paid in the treasury one by one.

However, the postal reform was lucky enough to allow ordinary people to communicate. Moreover, it was mainly implemented for Kapok Branch at the beginning. Fujian Road was the best, otherwise it would be difficult for people from all households to contact.

Wang Ju also handed over some letters collected from the people after the memorial, using them as a proof that although the people went overseas, they did a good job, and were even several times better than the treatment of Kapok Shi migrating people.

But then the controversy began.

With this push, many poor people will undoubtedly flee overseas.

One reason was that it affected the relocation of Kapok Sect, and the other reason was that it affected the local temples and the tyrants of the powerful. Some people wrote letters to impeach Wang Ju.

Wang Ju returned another memorial.

He first talked about the population density. In the two prefectures of Huanqing, including the foreigners, there will be no more than 60,000 households. However, in Jianzhou alone, the number of households in Fuzhou and Quanzhou reached more than 600,000, which is almost seven to eight times that of Huanqing, the two prefectures!

Not only these three states, including the entire Fujian Road, Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan West Road, the population is too dense, so the people cannot support more children, which has led to many parents drowning their biological children alive, including Zhang Dun who almost drowned by his parents. The Zhang family is still relatively well-conditioned in the local area. But Wang Ju didn't say this, after all, he had to give Zhang Dun some face. And now this situation has spread to Huangzhou and Ezhou.

The earth is limited and the people are thriving. Is your majesty, would you like this tragic situation to continue to happen and expand?

In fact, it was just migrating some people to leave Fujian Road. The population density of Fujian Road was too high, so I planned to take half of it. As long as his father no longer drowns his children, he would recover in thirty years.

But how can half be taken away? How many families need to be? How many sea boats have to be loaded and how many people have to be placed? Do marine merchants have this ability?

The reason why the powerful temples oppose it is because the larger the population density and the tighter the land they own, the land they own will appreciate. If the land is small and the people are more popular, the treatment given to the tenant farmers will be very poor, and then they will make more profits. As for the people drowning their children, they will care about their nothing.

However, after migration in these two directions, a situation will arise. The population density decreases, the desire for arable land will also decrease, and the value of arable land will also decrease, so the merger situation will gradually decrease. Because the number of people decreases, these great landlords and monks cannot cultivate themselves. In order to hire the people, they have to gradually improve their treatment so that they can leave tenants. Isn’t this what your Majesty, you are eager for?

In fact, Wang Ju had said to Zhao Xu before.

The biggest crisis in the Song Dynasty was poverty and weakness, and there was a bigger invisible crisis, that is, the population was expanding violently. There were more than 14 million households in the household registration statistics alone, and the hidden households and foreign households were not included.

This is the most fundamental reason for the crazy merger of arable land.

Like in the early Song Dynasty, land prices were so low that they were afraid of people, and the return on investment in land was low. So how many people would spend a lot of money or use various means to merge with conscience?

If this continues to develop, once the Song Dynasty's households doubled again and there is no need for foreign invasion, the Song Dynasty will be over. Because it is impossible to support so many people. This is very fast, if there are no other accidents, at most, the population of the Song Dynasty will double in seventy or eighty years.

Moreover, the opposition from local tyrants began as early as the Kapok Branch, so Zhang Dun deliberately discussed with Wang Ju, and then launched the Postal Post Reform.

Wang Ju deliberately reminded him again, yes, the local tyrants opposed it. Although the sea was not as terrible as the people rumored, it was indeed risky. Even though Wang Ju was in Quanzhou during his time, he heard accidents in several sea boats. It was better than letting the people drown their children alive.

No matter what, the people's self-parent planning is really too tragic.

In addition, Zhang Dun had a deliberately conducted an investigation for Kapok Shop before. Five of the ten families on Fujian Road did this. In this era, there were almost no scientific contraceptive measures except for women's safety period. Even during the safety period, they might not be safe, and they would get pregnant at any time. So even if they were ruthless, they would be indispensable.

Therefore, Zhang Dun said that even though some deaths occurred in migrating to the south, it was much less than this mortality rate. Are these babies not human lives?

What else did Zhao Xu say?

But under the encouragement of Wang Ju, the number of migrant people was very shocking. Almost 20,000 households disappeared from the household registration, and even affected Liangzhe West Road. This was just the number of households, and there were a large number of hidden households and fled. These people were the people who could not survive and migrated out. However, these people could not count them.

However, local officials were a little awe of Wang Ju. Although Wang Ju arrived in Quanzhou, after he made a fuss, six or seven bigwigs in the court, including Sun Gu, were demoted, and Chen Xiang almost disappeared. Even Wen Yanbo's resignation was vaguely related to Wang Ju.

Moreover, this migration did not start when Wang Ju came to Quanzhou. In the winter of the fourth year of Xining, some merchants started to do it. However, after Wang Ju came to Quanzhou, he further expanded it to evacuate the local people and give everyone more vitality.

Indeed, the land on Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road is even more tense, especially on Fujian Road. Because there are many people going out to sea, not only sailing, but also fishing, there are many people who believe in gods and worship ghosts, resulting in the emergence of a large number of temples. But these temples are the most greedy, and they occupy almost a quarter of the arable land on Fujian Road.

However, after Wang Ju's promotion and further evacuation, this situation gradually improved, which was also convenient for governance.

Furthermore, due to the promotion of Wang Ju, the commercial taxes of governments in various places surged. Now the political achievements of the Song Dynasty are linked to the economy, and the emperor does not speak. Therefore, from the officials in the capital above to the officials below, everyone turned a blind eye. But they did not expect that such a greater reward would arrive.
