The Rise of the European Emperor

The reason why Jeffrey dared to propose "encouraging births" was not only because he wanted to earn performance to keep his position as prime minister, but also because he had confidence in the national strength of Beihai State.

Population upbringing is nothing more than basic necessities of life. Clothing is hard to say, but food, Beihai country is not short of. At least, Jeffrey, as the prime minister, knew that Marin had so much food that it was used for large-scale winemaking. Even, the brewed wine is too much to sell. As long as Marin is willing to give up the food, it will be easy and pleasant for those women to have a few more children...

As for living and transportation, there is no problem. For serfs, there was nothing "good". Because, if they want to leave the manor, they must obtain the permission of the serf owner, and they don't have that much freedom at all. While living, it may be difficult for other countries. But for the North Sea country, it was too simple. Big deal, build a few more adobe houses. Dirt and thatch are everywhere, and it costs nothing to repair the house. This kind of house, which was disliked by Chinese people at the end of the 20th century and regarded as a symbol of poverty and backwardness, is actually an artifact in the eyes of the ancients...

The adobe houses are stronger and stronger than the thatched houses where the poor lived in ancient times, and are less susceptible to wind and rain. Also, adobe houses are cheap to build because so little of high-value building materials, such as masonry and wood, is used. As long as there is enough labor and craftsmen who can build, you can repair as much as you want, as long as it doesn't take up space. Moreover, the adobe house is very comfortable to live in.

Its only downside is probably that it looks shabby. In addition, adobe houses cannot be built too large. After all, adobe structures cannot support buildings that are too tall.

But for the ancient serfs, these shortcomings were not shortcomings at all. Many serfs in ancient times lived in broken thatched huts that leaked wind and rain. If they could live in thick adobe houses that sheltered them from wind and rain, they were considered high-end, so why would they dislike them? Only modern people who pursue a high-quality life will dislike adobe houses.

Food, housing, and transportation are not a problem. As for clothing... Marin seems to have recently made clothes made of thatch, which can keep out the cold... In this way, food, clothing, housing, and transportation don't seem to be a problem. So, what's wrong with encouraging birth? What's more, to spend food, it is also paid by Marin, which has nothing to do with Jeffrey, he just talks...

And Jeffrey's mouth cannon just moved Marin...

...

Under normal circumstances, Marin is a person who is eager for quick success, and always pursues speed, peace and stability. However, the population growth cannot be too fast. If other countries are willing to send their population to you, of course they can rely on immigration to rapidly increase their population. But now it is an agricultural society, and population means productivity. Therefore, although they did not care about Marin's immigration behavior at the beginning (there are some surplus labor forces in various countries), but at a certain stage, the surplus labor force was gone, and Marin began to dig their non-surplus labor force, and those princes began to oppose Marin's immigration policy. Because, Marin's immigrants are robbing them. In an agricultural society, robbing people is robbing wealth, who is so happy? Therefore, most of the princes began to resist Marin's immigration.

In the context of resistance to this quick method, Marin also had to calm down and think about a safe solution. And Jeffrey's plan to encourage births in the country is indeed very reasonable.

Goujian "sit hard and taste courage", and how much population has been increased by "ten years of gathering together, ten years of lessons". Marin does not know, and there is no precise record. However, Marin knew exactly how much the population of Xinhua had increased from the end of 1949 to 1980.

The family planning of later generations in China made it clear that when the country was founded, there were only more than 500 million people in China, but in 1980, in just 30 years, it had reached 1 billion, almost doubled...

In the 30 years from 1949 to 1980, China was still very poor, and the child death rate was very high. In her previous life alone, Marin's grandmother gave birth to seven children, but only three survived because of poor medical conditions. In such a situation where medical conditions and living conditions are very backward, the population has nearly doubled, let alone deliberately encouraging births?

...

In fact, the current material living conditions of Beihai State,

It is much better than Huaxia before the re-opening. Although this is the beginning of the 16th century, because of the use of enough three major fertilizers (nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potash fertilizer), the yield per mu of Beihai State is as high as 500 pounds or more. And what about Huaxia? Although there was a chemical fertilizer industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the scale was small and the output was low. The fertilizer produced is simply not enough. Most of the rural areas are still using ancient farming methods, yielding two to three hundred catties per mu. It was not until after the opening that a large number of large-scale chemical fertilizer production equipment was introduced, which gradually solved the problem of insufficient supply of chemical fertilizers.

That is to say, before the re-opening, the agricultural output in most areas of China was not comparable to that of Beihai. Moreover, because the rural population is too large, each family can only be allocated a few acres of land. As a result, the standard of living in the Chinese countryside before the reform was not as good as that of Beihai in 1508. At that time, most people were starving and thin, and those who could grow into fat people were either leaders or cooks...

There is still a large area of ​​land in Beihai that has not been cultivated, and there is already too much food to eat. In addition, the North Sea Fishing Ground and Newfoundland Fishing Ground can supply a large amount of salted fish, so that the North Sea Country has no shortage of food. Therefore, raising a few more children is simply light and stress-free.

The only thing that can't keep up with Huaxia before the re-opening is probably medical treatment. After all, at that time, miracle drugs such as penicillin had become popular. But for the countryside at that time, the supply of medicines may not be sufficient. In his previous life, Marin had an uncle and an aunt who died of illness because the medicine in the village hospital was not complete.

Calculated in this way, Marin’s Beihai country and the Chinese countryside before the reform (not counting in the city, before the reform, the city and the countryside are two worlds, mainly in terms of medical conditions. Because medicines are given priority to the supply of cities .) Compared with , there is actually an advantage...

...

After making up his mind, Marin and Jeffrey drafted a document to encourage childbearing. Moreover, learning from the Soviet Union, Marin also proposed the concept of "hero mother"-any woman who has more than four children (not including 4) can be awarded the title of "hero mother".

"Hero Mother" is not a useless honorary title. Women who are awarded the title can not only get a bronze medal (Marin is stingy and refuses to use gold and silver), but also has preferential treatment in life. For example, in serfdom manors, "hero mothers" are not allowed to work in the fields during their child-rearing period (in feudal times, women had to work in the fields even after the recovery period after giving birth to children). Children, however, can be allocated more abundant food than young laborers. Moreover, the "hero mother" will be rewarded with beautiful clothes issued by the government every year...

If it is under the land division system, you do not let her go to work in the field, for the sake of family life, women will rush to work in the field. However, in the era of serf manors, serfs were actually similar to farmers in large collectives, and they were all assigned by the above. The difference is that the serfs are assigned by the serf owners, and the large collectives are assigned by the leaders...

It's rare for a serf owner to show kindness and not let him go to work in the fields, and the treatment is even better, even a woman can be tempted...

...

Of course, in order to prevent the danger of women giving birth (in ancient times, it was very dangerous for women to give birth to children, mainly because medicine was too backward and there was a lack of medical talents), Marin decided to establish a A maternity hospital, and recruited local women for medical training, specializing in delivery for women in nearby villages. All childbirth expenses are paid by the government.

In order to have enough wards to accommodate pregnant women, Marin decided to use the most cost-effective method to build a large-scale adobe house community and build the hospital ward area into a small village model. Anyway, this year, land is the least valuable. The adobe house does not cost much, and it is not too expensive to trim a few more adobe houses to serve as wards.

Then, Marin will call all women who have experience in delivering and caring for mothers near the maternity hospital to the hospital to be responsible for delivering and caring for mothers and babies. And these women who are midwives will become full-time maternity hospital staff in the future, and the treatment will be favorable...

...

As for the full-time doctors in maternity hospitals? This Marlin really can't help it. Because he didn't have any relevant talents in his hands. Although it is said that Marin has two highly skilled Mongolian doctors, Mozhigen and Battelle. However, Mongolian doctors are good at bruises, bone setting and veterinary medicine, but they are really not good at gynecology.

Therefore, Marin plans to send people to China and the Arab region to find full-time gynecologists, please return to Beihai with a high salary, and then teach a group of full-time gynecologists. However, this process can take years. Before full-time gynecologists take up their jobs, maternity hospitals can only use some midwives to support them...

It just so happened that Marin was about to intersect with China's Ming Empire. Marin planned to get some highly skilled doctors, even imperial physicians, from the Ming Empire at any cost. For doctors who are proficient in gynecology and pediatrics, it is even more important to win. At that time, the obstetrics and gynecology hospital will not only be responsible for delivering women to ensure the safety of the mothers, but also increase the number of pediatric subjects to treat children to prevent premature death. As long as children don't die easily (in ancient times, the death rate of children was very high, and it was even higher in areas like Europe with medical scum, and it is common for children to die in the king's house), doubling the population or something, it is a breeze...
