After the banquet, Ying Zheng summoned his wicked husband alone.
"My dear minister, the population policy has achieved remarkable results. What are your plans for the future?" Ying Zheng asked.
The wicked man pondered for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, I believe that the population policy is on the right track and can be appropriately adjusted to a more long-term plan. In the past, we focused on rapidly increasing the population size; now we can pay more attention to improving the quality of the population."
Ying Zheng agreed: "Your words are quite right, my dear minister. So, what specific suggestions do you have?"
The wicked man said, "Your Majesty, I believe we can proceed from three aspects. First, further expand the scale of education to improve the quality of the people; second, improve the medical system to protect the health of the people; third, develop the economy, increase employment, and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so that they will naturally be willing to have and raise children."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree with all three points. However, I have another question.

How can we increase the proportion of Han people and consolidate the rule of our Great Qin?"

At the same time, we should promote Han culture so that all ethnic groups will accept the rule of the Great Qin."
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "What you say is quite right, my dear minister. I will entrust this matter to you. I will fully support you."
The wicked man respectfully accepted the order, but his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. He knew that population policy was not only related to the present of the Qin Dynasty, but also to its development over the next few centuries. As a time traveler, he was well aware of the lessons of the Qin Dynasty's rapid demise in history, and the population issue was one of the key factors in that demise.
Today, through a series of policies, he has significantly increased the population of Qin, improved its population structure, and enhanced its overall quality, laying a solid foundation for Qin's long-term stability and security.
"The people are the foundation of the state; when the foundation is firm, the state is at peace," the wicked man said silently.
