Vol 3 Chapter 428: Population Policy

After formulating a strategy of marching west, the entire empire, a huge war machine, quickly started to operate, and began to execute every link in accordance with the combat plan. Pre-war mobilization and common sense training.

Fighting away from home and abroad involves the final solution to the large-scale operations of the Soviet Union. Pre-war mobilization and common sense training are important. For example, operations involving soil, vegetation, building materials, bridges, and roads will be carried out in a simple way. Training, to avoid finding problems when you go to the place.

As part of the logistical support of the entire plan, the empire used dozens of Chang'e airships to provide effective supplies to the Western Expeditionary Force. The overall length of this airship reached 255 meters and the maximum diameter reached 41 meters. With a height of 46 meters, they have an amazing transport capacity. Together with the numerous huge airships that will be added in the future, they will provide logistical transportation supplies for front-line operations.

These things have a set of systems, which are run by the various empire departments under the Empire Base Camp. Zhang Shusheng does not need to be as comprehensive as before. In addition to some scientific research issues when necessary, his focus has now shifted to two aspects, management. Civilization and some particularly significant scientific and technological projects.

In terms of state management, things are not easy. The huge empire of more than 20 million square kilometers has many things that require him to make decisions, such as population issues.

On December 17, 1946, Zhang Shusheng called on Imperial Deputy Prime Minister Liu Shaoqi to discuss issues related to the empire's population.

As the deputy of the imperial prime minister Zhou Guolai, Liu Shaoqi's ability to govern the country is actually not bad. He is also known for his ability to govern the country. He has achieved good results in the empire work in charge, especially economics. Construction work and social reform work.

"Chairman, the issue of population growth in our country as a whole seems relatively simple.

Before liberation, the population growth of the country except for the southwest. Although facing disadvantages such as poverty and backwardness, class oppression, and warlord melee, it has basically shown a normal growth trend. The population growth rate in the southwest has been fast, more than double the national average over the same period. Reached an average of 3.2%.

According to the statistics of the Southwestern population on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population of the Southwest is 190 million, accounting for one-third of the national population.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the rapid economic development and good social policies, and the beneficial effects of a peaceful environment, the annual population growth has remained at 3.5% ... "

Liu Shaoqi gave a brief account of the population of the empire. At the end of November, the second census of the country was completed, and the total population of the entire empire reached 830 million. Among them, there are about 780 million native citizens, Southeast Asians in Southeast Asian provinces, and Soviet ethnicities in the Soviet-occupied areas. It has increased by about 230 million in ten years. The growth rate is very fast.

According to the different citizenship cards, the first three categories are counted as the core citizens of the Chinese nation, also called local citizens. In the fourth and fifth categories, these new nationalities, which are changed from the population of the occupying Power, are called new citizens.

In the original official estimate, the empire's population exceeded 700 million, but it was not expected that it would have exceeded the 800 million mark. According to the laws of the empire, plus those who are citizens of the empire abroad, the entire empire has a population of more than 850 million, about 860 million or more.

Without shortage of land. The imperial government has been encouraging childbirth, implementing free medical care and free education for young people under heavy financial burdens, coupled with a large immigration policy without shortage of land. The population of the entire country is growing very rapidly.

Because China has never had a good contraceptive habit, although the Southwest has already had such an artifact. But people still maintain the habit of giving birth, and the more children and grandchildren, the better the habit, as long as the family can raise them, they will have them.

Coupled with the good policies after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the population growth is naturally astounding.

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but groan slightly, this number could represent many meanings.

Originally, due to the horrific massacre of the Chinese nation by the Japanese aggression war, a large number of people died. The direct loss of the population was about 50 million, the indirect population loss exceeded 100 million, and the displaced population exceeded 100 million.

The Japanese army lost just over one million people, and this number also includes some things that are difficult to determine.

Of course, the long war between warlords, liberation and anti-liberation ...

But now, due to the strong rise of the Southwest, the Anti-Japanese War ended with the defeat of the Japanese army without real fighting, and the war of liberation was ended by the action of the Southwest with a sharp knife. The entire historical process was completely changed, and the entire nation suffered far less losses than originally History.

In the original history, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can maintain a population growth rate of more than 2% every year. Although the country is poor and poor, it still faces problems such as hunger and natural disasters, but the population is growing rapidly.

Today, the empire's population growth rate can maintain an average of 3.8%, but it is actually very fast.

However, unlike the original history, the entire Chinese nation was overwhelmed by the hundreds of millions of people. Compared with the original history, the Chinese nation only had more than 9 million square kilometers of land, and a large amount of land in frontier and sea areas was still in a different state of dispute. The territory of the empire is more than 20 million square kilometers, and the area of ​​effective arable land is nearly three times its original history. Encouraged by the country's correct population policy, the entire nation has not been dragged down by the population.

The accurate population figure of 830 million is not much, but Zhang Shusheng feels that it is small, especially the number of local citizens of 780 million.

"Our population is still relatively small! The 830 million people, compared to the 2.6 billion people in the world, although we make up a little over a third, are far from enough."

Zhang Shusheng spoke earnestly to Liu Shaoqi.

Not to mention that the population required for advanced civilization is an astronomical figure, even after occupying half of Eurasia in the next few years, this population is not enough.

The world is huge. There is endless land waiting for the Chinese nation to enjoy just half of Eurasia. There are endless resources waiting to nurture and grow the Chinese nation ...

The population will become a burden on the country in difficult times, but after civilization evolves, a large number of people are necessary to achieve high civilization.

Society is made up of people. The more people and the higher the quality of the population, the more developed and larger the society will be.

Facing a huge population gap. Zhang Shusheng was more anxious.

It is impossible for him to take decades to slowly give birth and accumulate slowly. Instead, he must once again accelerate the population growth rate with some active and effective policies. The reason for not implementing a more aggressive population policy from the beginning is to worry about the impact on rapid economic development and war.

Today, the empire is established, and since the founding of the country 13 years ago, the economy has developed to a very considerable height. Both science and technology and industrial development are progressing in a leap-forward manner. The country is getting richer and stronger, and the territory is getting bigger and bigger. With the development of science and technology, the demand for population has once again made Zhang Shusheng aware of the need to implement a new radical population policy.

"Yes, if you look at the seventh five-year plan and the fourth ten-year plan. Our population gap is very large."

Liu Shaoqi nodded. Of course, as Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire, he knew how big the ambition of the Empire was, and how big the territory would be in the future. And he knows that since the capital of the empire has made up its mind to win at least half of the Eurasian continent, it will certainly be achieved under the leadership of his Majesty.

At that time, only seven or eight billion people seemed stretched.

Of the seventh five-year plan and the fourth ten-year plan formulated by the Imperial Court, the ten-year plan was completed. In 1956, the empire's population would reach 1.5 billion. Among the newly added fourth and fifth categories of citizens are India, Central Asia, and the newly occupied areas of the Soviet Union. The total population of some countries in the Middle East will reach about 400 million, and the number of local citizens will increase from 830 million to 1.1 billion.

This growth rate is very easy to make people feel like night and day, at least Liu Shaoqi is very clear. Without a radical population policy, this population growth plan would be almost impossible to complete.

Normal speed. Even with the expansion rate, in 1956, the number of the first three types of citizens of the empire, that is, the number of local citizens, could only reach 950 million to 980 million. Now it is necessary to increase the local population by more than 100 million .

This task is very heavy.

"Yes, we have a huge population gap. From the current several programs to stimulate population growth, three programs are for local citizens and the fourth is for all citizens. But no matter which one is, we are facing The problem. The three solutions for local citizens all face the common problem, that is, the task is too difficult. Although the fourth plan is the easiest to implement, it needs to be directed to all citizens. "

Liu Shaoqi knew that if this population growth plan was aimed at all citizens, it would be easy to complete. However, His Majesty has repeatedly emphasized that the population stimulus plan must first target local citizens.

After all, the population stimulus plan is not about letting people have more children, it is also related to issues such as free medical care and education, and even to benefits such as state population subsidies. Zhang Shusheng did not want to spread this welfare quickly.

It is an iron fact that local citizens must be better than the fourth and fifth categories of citizens. And this situation of core citizens being superior to others is also common in other civilizations of the universe.

"The fourth plan need not be considered, and for other newly-added ethnic groups for a considerable period of time, the empire will not implement family planning, but it will not implement population stimulus policies, such as India."

Zhang Shusheng knew very well the strength of the country of India. Now the population has reached 250 million, letting it live, let alone welfare and stimulus policies. As long as war and excessive severe hunger are not affected in this country, then if the empire goes smoothly Occupy it, merge its territory into the Chinese Empire, and in the next ten years, it can easily achieve 100 million or more population growth targets.

To use the limited financial resources of the empire to support newcomer races like India in the future, Zhang Shusheng would never do it.

Let you join the empire, give your land and resources to the empire, and you will enjoy no war, unified and efficient state management, regional reforms, which will step by step increase new occupations such as India in the future The society and living standards of the region are more straightforward. The empire will send people to govern regions like India, but the finances will not be inclined, and the empire will not spend energy to build and improve the life of the Indian nation. No stage, everything depends on the self-development of this area.

Of course, the immigration plan of local citizens is not affected by this, and many immigrant cities will also enjoy the care of local policies in the future.

From the very beginning, Zhang Shusheng decided to think differently from the beginning. The reason is simple. Why did the Chinese nation nurture these backward nations? Even if the age of the universe is approaching, only these nations will serve the Chinese nation.

New nations that perform well naturally have corresponding treatment. Lazy and ignorant nations will live your day of peace. There will be no starvation on a large scale, and of course there will be no benefits. The Empire abandoned those backward, hopeless races, not the region.

In Zhang Shusheng's conception, such as India, there will also be many bustling immigration cities in the future. There will also be bustling metropolises and large port cities, but those are the residences of future native citizens. Just like India in the original history, a very developed city, but there are extremely poor areas nearby. Unless many new occupation areas in the future can develop on their own, they will also face a serious slum-like wealth gap in India in the future.

Of course, for a long time in the future, such as the coming of the Universe, these backward and poor areas will also develop, but they are still far from catching up with the empire's native areas, catching up with immigrant areas, and catching up with Europe. Where population quality and basic conditions are relatively good.

Therefore, Zhang Shusheng naturally decided to implement a population stimulus policy for local citizens.

"Which province is the fastest growing population now?"

Zhang Shusheng asked.

"Bashu area. Due to the good industrial foundation and developed economy, the development time 20 years earlier than other areas, so that the population growth of the entire southwestern region is very fast, especially the current population growth in Sichuan is the fastest!"

Liu Shaoqi said briefly.

The kingdom of Tianfu was originally a fertile place. No matter what period of time, it is not worrying about food and clothing. The population growth in such areas has always been fast. Especially since the Southwest, I have enjoyed the huge benefits including free education and social reform ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The population growth is naturally faster, and relatively speaking, Sichuan ’s population growth is faster than that of Yunnan and Guangxi. A lot faster, this is the result of regional conditions and socio-economic development.

It can be said that Sichuan is currently the most populous region. Economically, Sichuan is also stronger than Yunnan and Guangxi. Even though Yunnan has one of the oldest industrial and technological bases in Dongchuan District, Sichuan has Chengdu and Chongqing as its core. Yi triangle district, rapid economic development, industrial science and technology education development is even faster.

"Sichuan! I haven't walked back to the southwest for many years. I might as well take this opportunity to go back and take a look at the current population and fertility situation."

Zhang Shusheng went to the southwest several times in a hurry, but this time he went back and forth, there are many places full of memories, and he is going to see them together, such as Kunming, Dongchuan District, Huize, Lishuping, Yibin, Chengdu ...
