"The noble man just said 'resentful', and the villains really dare not have it. Who is the best time for today? The villains know very well. It's not that the Holy Emperor is in power, so how can we have a good life?"

"Little old man, little old man..., the only thing I can't figure out is... it's that immigrant."

"Average 20 trump card per person, all dolls that don't speak with teeth must be included, and old men and ladies who can't do work must be included. Isn't the emperor moving us all to Hezhong?"

"The court used ten times the land as compensation, which was very kind and righteous. But we are not unable to survive.

Zhao Gou talked to him about an old man in his fifties. He wore a torn straw hat on his head. His hair exposed on the brim was completely white. He was covered with a gray and yellow jacket on his shoulders. His entire spine was black and shiny, as if he was coated with oil.

His hands were as rough as the bark of an old pine tree, with cracks and cuts. Deep wrinkles were carved on his face. He was very quick and rubbed his hands constantly.

"Old brother, the court has tried to make everyone immigrate. After all, this is also for everyone's descendants."

Zhao Gou could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere.

As soon as the old man said this, all the farmers' eyes became pitiful. The annual income of twenty trump cards per capita is an income that a large number of farmers' families cannot achieve at all.

Especially after the burden was reduced, many families had children and grandchildren. In the past, at most three or two children were out of control in the family, but now they were like the flood that broke the dam.

It's not a question of how many children you have to have, but a question of how many children your own men can get pregnant.

Chinese people have always had the traditional idea of ​​having more children and good fortune. This thinking does not go against drowning babies. Ducking babies is because they are poor and difficult to support their families. Too many children and good fortune is the ideal of all Chinese people.

But suddenly this "per capita" income made families who were originally very beautiful suddenly become uneven.

There is no way. The dolls that have been added in the past few years have not yet grown up.

The old man who spoke was a very representative one. He had two sons, and when the Jin people went south, he had one. Now the only son has five children in his family. The eldest granddaughter is about to kiss him, and the eldest grandson is already fifteen, but the three two, three or four-year-olds below suddenly pulled the family income below the red line.

Zhao Gou was not angry at all. Before the policy was promulgated, he could think of the public's resentment, otherwise how could he play the trump card of "ten times".

"Everyone think about it. The court worked hard to take down the land in the west, but everyone was unwilling to go. The land still lived in the original natives. Can they be the same as us?"

"The territory in the west is not even a few Han people. Even if it is occupied by our Song Dynasty soldiers, can it be considered as the land of the Han people?"

"Now, no one moves. Twenty years later, all the children are grown up now, and even the children are already there. At that time, all the old brothers must be gone.

But what will happen to your children and your grandchildren?"

"Now every household can live a beautiful life because there is enough land in the world for you to cultivate. But when your descendants grow up and the population in the world has increased, the land in the world is still as large as before."

"Now your family has thirty acres of land. When your two sons grow up, each of them will have fifteen acres of land. When your grandson grows up, you will say that the family is still two males, and then your grandson will only have seven acres and five cents of land..."

"The population will continue to increase. As long as the world is peaceful and the administration is clear and there are not so many corrupt officials, the population will continue to increase."

"At the beginning of the Song Dynasty's unification of the world, there were less than 7 million households in the country, which was about 40 million. But in the fourth year of Daguan, there were 20 million households in the country, with a population of no less than 110 million."

"But the world of Song Dynasty is still so big. There is still so much land."

"You said, if this goes from 20 million households to 40 million households, from 110 million people to 20 million people, or even more people..."

"The people of the world can live a harmonious life, and your descendants can live comfortably?"

Zhao Gou explained the population crisis to them. The old men and even their family members who were surrounded by not far away were all stunned.

Even Yue Fan and others were stunned.

"When everyone is 5 acres of land per capita in the world, everyone can still live comfortably, but when everyone is 1 acre of land per capita in the world, then everyone will be uncomfortable."

"In a word, there are many people and few lands!"

"If there is another natural disaster and the officials are corrupt, can the people still survive?"

"At that time, the public is full of grievances and the Emperor Star is shaking. Officials, rich people, and even the emperors and officials at that time, all of them sat on the pile of medicine powder. Everyone was afraid that they would not act rashly. Everyone was afraid of a spark who would light up the medicine powder, so that those who had no money and those who had no power would be completely destroyed."

"This was the case with the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the same was the case with the Huang Chao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as the court does not step out of the Central Plains, any dynasty will not escape this circle."

"But how can the court avoid this situation?"

"That is not to force the people under their rule to not eat enough or have children, but to use the sword in their hands to find more land for their descendants and strive for greater living space. This is the correct solution to resolve the crisis."

"As for how to obtain more land and strive for greater living space, it is not only the responsibility of the court, but also the people of the world, right?"

"That big territory is empty there, and there is no Han man who can be seen for hundreds of miles. The court does not immigrate. When will the newly opened territory in the river be transformed into the territory of the Song Dynasty?"

There is no need to continue speaking. Zhao Gou's words are enough to make the farmers in front of him understand. However, he finally said: "The court understands that the people's hometowns are hard to leave, so he gave a tenfold exchange. So the people also need to weigh the court?"

There was a silence under the tree, and no matter how many old men or their relatives were nearby, they all felt sad on their faces.

They really don't want to leave their hometown and be moved thousands of miles away.

But when they touched their conscience, they could not say that the court was in vain of human life and the lives of the people.

Ten times the preferential treatment really makes them unable to say anything.

"Hey, if I had known today, I would have gone to join the army." Among the people around, a young man in his twenties said, clenching his fists.

Because military families are not in the migration sequence.

And at this time, the young and strong man with unwilling face was definitely not the only young man who cried out.

"Nonsense. What's the point of being a soldier? There is no eyebrow on the battlefield, and I'll lose my life if I accidentally do it. Old man, I don't ask you to be rich and powerful, as long as you are safe."

"Don't tell me those great truths. I have ears to your father, and I have listened to those great truths. The court said it right, but you don't allow you to go any further than that—"

The young father saw that his son was angry and even clamored, and then he scolded him for a while.

"Stop going to the inspection department to join in the fun in the future!"

The Inspection Department is like a police station in later generations, and is a subordinate agency of the county magistrate (police bureau). In addition to arresting theft and stabilizing the local area, it has another function to control the township heroes.

The latter is a township militia trained during the slack season. It is based on Baojia, but it is not compulsory.
