Huang Xiao sighed: "Yes, this is a difficult problem. This requires us to regulate marriage and set a legal age for marriage. For example, a woman must be at least sixteen years old before she can get married. Otherwise, it is illegal!"
Zhu Youxiao was startled: "Sixteen years old? Is it too late?"
Huang Xiaodao: "Everyone in my place is twenty years old, and in a few areas the age limit is eighteen. Of course, the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with my place, the national conditions are different, but sixteen years old, just right, no matter how early, the girl has not yet grown up, in the future It is also very disadvantageous in terms of fertility and other aspects, it is very easy to cause premature death, and it is also harmful to girls’ lives!”
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Huang Xiaodao: "After the age of marriage is stipulated, there must be a minimum age for marriage. Let's set it as twenty-five. You must get married at the age of twenty-five! As for the land, I leave it to my parents, but we don't have to So entangled, after she gets married, five acres of land will be redistributed to the girl, while the original land will be left to her parents, as a reward for her upbringing!"
"Besides, the world is so big, land is nothing! What does eldest brother say?"
Zhu Youxiao was startled, then laughed.
"Yes! I'm in a dead end. The earth is so big, what's five acres of land? If I weren't afraid that the people wouldn't be able to plant their crops, I would be able to afford ten acres of land by myself! Just do it like this!"
"In this way, both parties must be very enthusiastic about the marriage! After the woman marries a daughter, the income from the land will belong to her parents alone, and after the man marries a wife, he will increase his real estate by five acres! If he has more children, the land will also increase. many!"
When he said this, he paused and said, "Brother, will this increase the family's land holdings? Will they become new small landowners?"
Huang Xiao was stunned and said: "Brother, you are right, you will really become a landlord one by one, but so what? Every landlord, who doesn't want to live this kind of life? And with the increase of land, There will be new troubles, that is, we can’t farm!”
Zhu Youxiao was also stunned, "Yes, this small population encouragement plan will also extend to so many problems. It seems that every policy issuance must be carefully studied, and orders cannot be issued on impulse! Dear brother, how do you deal with this situation?"
Huang Xiaodao: "There are several solutions. One is to imitate Western barbarians and capture slaves all over the world. For example, we capture all Westerners as slaves and let them help the people farm!"
Zhu Youxiao shouted: "This is the way! These barbarians should also have a taste of being slaves!"
Huang Xiao smiled: "However, I am a little hesitant to do this. It is not that I have any sympathy for these barbarians, but I am worried that these barbarians will make my Chinese blood impure."
Zhu Youxiao was startled: "Well, that makes sense. Brother Xian, please tell me about other solutions."
Huang Xiaodao: "Secondly, although the land is distributed, the nature of the land must be stipulated. In essence, the land is state-owned, and the people only have planting rights and no trading rights.
In this way, land annexation can be curbed to the greatest extent. The current farm model can solve the land problem, that is, the collaborative mechanism, which gathers the power of the entire farm, will alleviate the problem of insufficient manpower! "
"Thirdly, with the continuous advancement of technology, I believe that keen businessmen will develop targeted machinery to replace human labor, such as cultivators, seeders, and harvesters. In this way, the labor required for the same cultivated land will be greatly reduced. !”
"In the end, I estimate that it will take at least several generations to achieve the situation we are worried about. After decades, we can also adjust the policy appropriately, such as no longer rewarding land, but giving equal rewards in cash, and No one has to stipulate that only land can be rewarded!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly: "Brother Xian is right! Brother Yu is so stupid and has fallen into a dead end again! Yes, you can give me money!"
Huang Xiao smiled.
Zhu Youxiao said: "However, I was really tempted when I just said that the Western barbarians would be my slaves and maidservants in China! Dear brother, tell me, is there any way to make them useful to me without polluting me? Where’s the Chinese ancestry?”
Huang Xiao smiled: "Isolate it. For example, Dongfan Island is a natural sugar production base. Then we can let the Nanyang natives grow sugar cane and make sugar for our Ming Dynasty. For example, the black land of Rakshasa Country is suitable for growing wheat, so let Westerners go to work as serfs to help me grow wheat in the Ming Dynasty! For example, if Nanzhou is rich in mineral resources, let Westerners work as mining slaves. All dangerous and dirty work is their task! "
Zhu Youxiao laughed and nodded: "That's what you should do! This is retribution!"
Huang Xiao nodded: "In addition, we have to seize the babies from their childhood, isolate them from their parents, and send them to specialized schools for brainwashing to fundamentally destroy the roots of their culture. After several generations... Humph! I am He’s following the same example, no one can blame him!”
"This is called: If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history! If you want to destroy your clan, you must first destroy its culture!"
Zhu Youxiao praised: "Awesome! Such a true and wise saying! A wise brother is a great talent!"
Huang Xiao said coldly: "As for today's generation of Western barbarians, reform them until they die! This is the price! If we weren't moral Ming people! Even if we kill them all, it wouldn't be a big deal!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "Yes, we, Ming Dynasty, are a naturally noble race, not like barbarians. Let's deal with it like this!"
Huang Xiao nodded: "Let's go back to the matter of encouraging population. After rewarding land, we must also give certain monetary rewards so that people can better raise their children!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "Yes!"
Huang Xiaodao: "In addition, restrictions on girls must be relaxed in terms of education. Both boys and girls must enter elementary school! The age is set at five years old! Girls can also be promoted to Tongsheng, Xiucai, Jinshi, and even Jinshi. Of course, they can also enter the court as officials!
Moreover, the marriage of these talented and educated women must be postponed, and parents are not allowed to hinder their children from studying for any reason! Otherwise, he will be sentenced to a serious crime! "
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Huang Xiao continued: "Since the restrictions on women have been abolished, the low-level status of craftsmen, military households, etc. have also been abolished. Although we still adopt a hierarchical system, we must achieve equality between men and women and equality among the people to the greatest extent. This is also a Extremely remarkable progress!”
"Brother, there are too many topics today and the time is almost up. I'm going to take a look at the samples of silver dollars and banknotes."
Zhu Youxiao stood up without finishing his thoughts.
"I have benefited a lot! My dear brother, I am rich in knowledge and talented! My dear brother, I can conquer the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty by myself! Brother Yu, I have learned a lesson! Please accept my worship!"
Zhu Youxiao solemnly bowed as a teacher.
Huang Xiao gave him a hand.
He smiled and said, "Brother, thank you very much. Let's go."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at Huang Xiao with a smile.
Huang Xiao walked away.
Zhu Youxiao spread out his pen and paper and wrote quickly at his desk, recording the discussion one by one.
Huang Xiao went directly to Hongxing Machinery Factory and met Li Wangyue.
