Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he saw the news.

The rise of Xixia was the result of countless Song army corpses. First, the four states were determined, then Yanzhou, then Lingzhou, then Xiaoguan, and even expanded the sphere of influence to Liupanshan for a time.

Therefore, the recovery of Xiaoguan was of great significance to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, now we can only take it down and have to survive the attack launched by Xixia. Several fortresses will be built around the surrounding area in the spring of next year. Only then can Xiaoguan truly belong to the Song Dynasty.

But where can Xixia draw out heavy troops and counterattack Xiaoguan now?

And there was also an unexpected surprise. Because the wind and snow were all the gains from the sky, Han Yun made a profit from the Helan Stone. The sacrifice was not heavy, so almost all the national money and silk support were rarely used in this battle.

In Yanhe Hall, the ministers looked at each other, but there were many people who were happy and few people who were speechless.

Indeed, in recent years, Wang Ju is not as good as Wang Anshi's ability to make money. The national treasury has accumulated very slowly.

Even the national fiscal revenue has dropped slightly, including Yunnan Two Roads and Jiaozhi Road, as well as Banking Department and Qi Shang Taxation, which is only about 180 million yuan.

But don’t forget how many policies that benefit the people have been implemented in recent years, and there have been two consecutive major battles.

Internal governance, finance and martial arts almost all reached the peak of the Song Dynasty!

So many ministers couldn't help but look at Wang Ju, and a light of respect flashed in their eyes.

No matter how much Wang Ju lacks, this talent can definitely be comparable to all the wise ministers of the ages.

Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, don't enjoy it. With the ability of Zhang Zhima, only if the court does not restrain it, it is not surprising that even destroys Xixia. What I am thinking about is another thing, that is, the number of households in the world. When I was in charge of political affairs, I asked the Ministry of Revenue to calculate the number of households in the world. The number of households in the two roads and Jiaozhi Road in Yunnan was more than 900,000, and the remaining more than 17.1 million households. Among them, the main households were more than 12.26 million households and the customers were more than 4.9 million households. But this year, there are 1.38 million households in Yunnan and Jiaozhi Road. These three roads are rough, so there is no need to worry about it. Then, the number of households in other roads is more than 12.8 million households, and the number of customers is nearly 6 million. That is, the number of households in the original number of households has reached more than 18 million households."

Everyone knows how many households Wang Ju has taken away in recent years. Because many of them are refugees, it is impossible to count them, but everyone knows that at least more than 200,000 households have been taken away.

There were two casualties caused by the fallout. This was the case. In just five years of the Song Dynasty, one and six million households were added. In fact, Wang Ju was speechless. To date, the statistics on the other side last winter were only 1.5 million households! Moreover, the number of households in each household may be smaller than that of the Song Dynasty.

But this Wang Ju was helpless.

However, through this comparison, everyone is still in a heavy mood.

This is the sacrifice brought about by continuous migration and two crushing defeats. If not, how could the population of the Song Dynasty expand now?

"You guys, please understand what I am. Don't count on the other side. Your Majesty, although I am incompetent and have seen many disadvantages of the Song Dynasty, I have no wisdom to solve them, but I am barely competent. At least under the leadership of my ministers, the burden on the poor people has been reduced in recent years, so fewer and fewer people are willing to go to the other side. This is also a proof that there are fewer and fewer people who are desperate to survive. But even more, the other side is unwilling to accept it."

"As I suggest, the other side will move a large amount of gold and silver to our dynasty, and even the economy on the other side will be extremely empty, and even the principal in the other side will be moved over. Everyone is trembling with fear to maintain the credibility of the bank, and the merchants will sell a large number of mine workshops to the people who have become rich first. However, because the gold and silver have been mobilized too much, the other side will be in a difficult position, so I propose a 30 million yuan, which is beneficial to our dynasty, but it is not a good thing for the other side. It overdraws the future trade of the other side. However, it is a helpless move. Only in this way can the economy on the other side be turned on. But only this time, if I do this next time, all the merchants on the other side will be disgusted with me, and I will not be able to exert any influence on them. I have kindness to them, and they are also repaying my kindness, but there will always be a time for this kindness to repay me!"

This is a half truth and half false statement.

But from next year, the other side will no longer support as much as before, and it will indeed affect the development of the other side.

However, this can further reduce everyone's suspicion, especially Zhao Xu's suspicion.

"It is not only about donations, but also about migrating the people. The other side is the world created by merchants. They aim to make profits and use their intentions to migrate the people. However, now there are more and more people, and they are not so eager for the people. In addition, there are many scholars and officials in the court who are full of doubts, so they are not willing to migrate the people on a large scale. Therefore, the crisis of population expansion will become more and more serious as the future goes."

Everyone's faces were also heavy.

If Nanfang Third Road included, there would be almost 20 million households.

How many people are there in this family? Later generations often count as one family and five. It turns out that they thought that in ancient times, it was a family planning China.

Let's look at these records.

"The number of people in Shu increased every year and the land was empty, so the lower households had thirty or fifty acres of land, or 57 acres of land; and if they were not familiar with each other, they would die of the ravines." There were more than a dozen people in Bashu!

"Only by borrowing silkworms to do business, a family of ten people raises silkworms and ten foils... It is very accurate to calculate food and clothing for this year." Chen Yu's "Book of Agriculture" refers to poor households of four or five grades, and one household is calculated by ten people.

"Three people have a bowl of lamps, and they are spun at night. They have eight people in the same room. They are often insufficient to cook rice." So poor that there are eight people in a household.

"When Su Song was in the museum, he hired a maid and asked what his family was. He lived outside the Cao Gate, but... Shi Lian asked what his family was. What he did? He said that ten people were like, and there was no other career." A family of ten people.

Even after the Yuan Meng urged Hangzhou to become disabled, "the number of households in the city is roughly 300,000 and the population is about 1.5 million", and one household still has five people (Marco Polo's Travels).

Wang Ju didn't know how many households in the Song Dynasty averaged, but through the migrant poor people, it can be seen that these people were extremely poor, and even their relatives remained in the inland. One household had more than five.

Therefore, Wang Ju estimated that a family in the Song Dynasty could reach six and a half people, and that was the lowest.

That is, the Song Dynasty now includes the Southern Three Roads, as well as the Shengfan and the Far-lost households, with a population of at least 130 million. If it is estimated to be more than 150 million, it may be nearly 150 million!

"The more we benefit the people, the more we will expand the population. Especially on Fujian Road, since the extremely poor people have been migrated away greatly, coupled with the pull of trade, a fourth-class household can often have five or six children. It is really enviable to think about it. Your Majesty, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I have only a few children so far..."

Zhao Xu was also happy.

Although Wang Ju gave birth to several children, he survived, but compared to this, Wang Ju is really inferior to Zhao Xu.

The other ministers were also very happy.

Actually, this is a big pit...

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to bring several kinds of grains from the other side. Although I went to the other side, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were sacrificed, and even the most important people were often awakened by nightmares, but having these kinds of grains can be considered a loss of merit."

This is a merit, a merit, and a boast.

Otherwise, people will be eliminated in the future.

However, Wang Jubiao is very reserved.

"If it weren't for annexation, with our dynasty's emphasis on farmland water conservancy, coupled with miscellaneous grains, and newly developed territories, it could accommodate at least 30 million households. In fact, this is also an immortal merit. During the Tianbao period, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, such a large territory accommodated many households. But with the merger, the situation would probably be less optimistic."

"Don't count on the other side," Wang Ju said again: "The more people on the other side, the more beneficial these merchants are, but in order to migrate the people, they encountered pressure from many parties. Although they donated so much money, the number of people gradually increased, and merchants on the other side lacked motivation to migrate the people."

This is also necessary.

As the number of people on the other side increased, the court's suspicion became increasingly serious.

Don't be suspicious, we don't care anymore now.

Actually, it is still as much as you can migrate. It is as much as you can migrate.

However, the nature is completely different.

"And there was economic tension on the other side, not only donations, but for these donations, merchants sold many pit mine workshops to relieve their economic pressure. The main thing is to resettle migrating people. I used to not migrate too many, but they didn't listen. Now they all regret it. Everyone, you understand what I mean, that is, even if the population of our dynasty has expanded to 50 million households in the future, merchants on the other side have no motivation to migrate large numbers of people to alleviate the pressure on our dynasty, and they do not have the strength to resettle too many immigrants. The number of migrating in the past few years has almost reached the extreme that they have endured!"

"There is no motivation to migrate on the other side. Internal policies benefit the people and benefit the people's reproduction. The population will expand faster. If there is no merger, our dynasty can accommodate 30 million households and there is still a lot of time to buffer. The key is also the merger. Your Majesty, although these policies benefit the people, they benefit all the powerful and powerful. The more wealth they have in their hands, the more powerful the merger. If the merger reaches a certain level, even if there are miscellaneous grains, the country will also experience a crisis."

"There is another proof that the official households in the Song Dynasty were exempted from two taxes, but the non-official households transferred the land to the name of tenant farmers in order to avoid taxes. The real tenant farmers became fake owners, which reduced the number of customers and increased the number of main households, resulting in the "spoken name of the property, the strange name of the tenant, the fleeing, the lawsuit urged the department to distinguish the head of the household, the family was destroyed, the family was exhausted, and the family was exhausted, which was not enough to compensate. Therefore, when the service was in service, the people avoided the property, and those who were powerful had their own property to hide, and those who were weak had their wife and fled. After a year or two, they could not be determined.

.’ Further forced the customers into desperate situation. Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty, the incident was investigated one after another. In the seventh year of Xining, only one county in Wuxi, Changzhou, and five thousand households escaped from the strange name. In the second year of Yuanfeng, the strange name of the two roads in Huainan reached 475,965 households! Wang Jue's name of the strange name of the tenant, which is the number of customers counted by the Ministry of Revenue, is much less than the actual customers). Therefore, this time, when I asked the Ministry of Revenue to order each prefecture and county to check the number of households, I marked the number of each household."

"No more customers, this main household has more than 12.9 million households, only more than 3 million households in third-class or above, the fourth-class household is more than 4 million households, and the fifth-class households have more than 5 million households! Can fifth-class households still be considered main households? However, in order to collect taxes, the governments of various prefectures and counties have even a small asset and a mu of arable land in their hands, and they are also classified as main households. Putting aside the false main households that are possessed by a strange name, the poor people still account for the majority of the proportion of this main household!"

"Besides, I sent the Ministry of Revenue to verify that the main households are more than 12.26 million, but now after so many people-friendly policies have been implemented, the main households have only increased by more than 500,000. Looking at the proportion of customers, even though so many people-friendly policies have been implemented, so many extremely poor people have been migrated, but the number of customers has increased by one million. This shows that the scale of mergers is expanding and spreading."

Don’t go down to investigate anymore. The Song Dynasty is so big that it is not easy to investigate.

However, these cold numbers are the best proof!

Why did Wang Ju prepare to promote the contracted mountain, mound, tidal flats, lakes and lakes system after this household count? Because with this data, there is soil for promotion.

The annexation is too powerful, and the court needs to introduce some policies and regulations.

But it's not too late to come out now.
