Chapter 129 The country has a population of 1.4 billion!
Jian Yunsang has never liked Grandma Jian.
Two years ago, not long after Chaochao was lost, her grandmother found out her phone number from somewhere and called her, asking her to have another child as soon as possible.
She also said that a wealthy family like the He family needed a boy to inherit the family property. Chaochao was missing, and if she didn't give birth to a child during this period, the He family might kick her out. By then, she would be left with nothing and wonder how she would live in the future.
Jian Yunsang has always been concerned about Grandma Jian's old age, so he doesn't want to make her angry. Therefore, what she says goes in one ear and out the other, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.
But that phone call touched Jian Yunsang's bottom line. She scolded Grandma Jian mercilessly, and the old lady fainted.
Grandma Jian has always lived with Uncle Jian. Uncle Jian was scared to death, but he also knew that what Grandma Jian said was heart-wrenching. What's more, Chao Chao is also the daughter of the He family, and the He family cares about her so much. If he dares to scold Jian Yunsang because of Grandma Jian and make a big deal out of it, the He family will not forgive him.
In the end, he only had a quarrel with Jian Zhengqing.
Since then, Jian Yunsang has never spoken to or met Grandma Jian again.
She thought Grandma Jane was only trying to urge young people to have children, but she didn't expect her to be so outrageous. Now she is still thinking about asking her father to give birth to a son.
But for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of joy when she knew that her father was being urged to have a baby at such an old age.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jian Yunlu shouted, "Sister, I'm so worried, and you're still laughing. You don't know, after you made grandma speechless last time, she was fully prepared, and this time she spoke very clearly. She said that my parents have no sense of the overall situation, are not patriotic, and don't respond to national policies, unlike her, who always follow the country's pace, and the country will not harm us. Listen, this is more than just a heightened level."
Jian Yunsang raised her eyebrows. This really amused her. "She follows the country's footsteps? Well, when the family planning policy was implemented, why did she suggest that my mother secretly give birth outside?"
"She refused to admit it, and said that we are selfish now, only thinking about living a good life for ourselves, and not knowing how to increase the population of the country. She also said that if the future is full of people like us, the population of our country will be extinct, and she will die with her eyes wide open. In fact, I really want to say to her that the country has a population of more than 1.4 billion now. If it really waits until it is extinct, she would have died hundreds or thousands of years ago. How could she not die with her eyes wide open?"
Jian Yunsang, "How dare you speak like that?"
"I dare not." Jian Yunlu was instantly deflated, but she knew that her sister would definitely dare to do so.
She didn’t know what her sister said two years ago to make her grandmother so angry, and she really wanted to learn from her.
But then I saw my sister’s expression and felt that I might never be able to learn it in my lifetime.
Thinking of this, Jian Yunlu became even more discouraged and leaned weakly on the back of the front seat.
The interior of the car was very quiet, but the Great Qi Dynasty under the sky was very restless.
Emperor Jingxuan almost spit out his tea. He asked the ministers in disbelief, "How many? How many people did they say they have?"
The ministers swallowed hard, and someone said, "One, fourteen hundred million!"
I must have heard it wrong. I must have heard it wrong.
Do they know how many people there are in 1.4 billion? Do they know how big a country is needed to feed so many people?
With 1.4 billion people, there isn't enough land to go around. Even if there are sweet potatoes, they can't possibly feed so many people.
Even though the ministers present were well-informed, they still felt that such a number was like a fairy tale.
They encouraged production and worked hard to develop the economy and agriculture, and the population has grown rapidly. Now there are nearly 200 million people, more than in previous dynasties, and they are very, very, very proud.
Now tell them, how did the population of later generations reach 1.4 billion? Didn't most families only have one or two children?
It was the Grand Tutor who reacted quickly. He slowly closed his mouth and said in a deep voice, "In order to feed so many people in the future, I'm afraid that high-yield crops are not just sweet potatoes."
"Yes, yes, it must be." The Minister of Agriculture nodded eagerly in agreement, looking at Emperor Jingxuan eagerly, hoping that the emperor would agree and send people to continue looking for other food.
However, at this moment, Emperor Jingxuan lowered his head in thought and did not receive his gaze.
After a moment, he raised his head and said, "If there are 1.4 billion people in the future, there will be at least 200 to 300 million children. Tianmu means that all children must receive nine years of compulsory education, and their financial expenditure can actually support it."
The other ministers looked at each other in confusion. Yes, how could they have forgotten about this.
According to the population of Daqi, the number of children in later generations is more than the total population of Daqi. In other words, if converted into Daqi, all Daqi people have to pay for nine years of education? ? ?
"hiss"
Just think about it, it’s a terrifying astronomical figure.
Where did the imperial court of later generations get so much money?
The Minister of Finance wanted to glue his eyes to the sky, wanting to see how money was made. He wanted to learn, and now filling the entire treasury with money was his ultimate dream.
However, what was displayed on the sky screen was very limited. If they wanted to get more information, they could only keep an eye on it.
While driving, Jian Yunsang looked at the listless Jian Yunlu through the rearview mirror, raised an eyebrow and asked, "You are quite worried. Grandma is urging me to give birth like this, what does Dad mean by that?"
Jian Yunlu snorted, "Of course Dad doesn't agree, but grandma is old after all, and Dad can't argue with her. What if she..." She was embarrassed to say it. Ever since her sister had an argument with grandma and made her faint, grandma always complained of dizziness and heart discomfort. She often went to Jian Zhengqing and said that it was Jian Yunsang's fault.
What can Jian Zhengqing do?
"Anyway, we can't argue with her. She won't listen to reason. My dad even said he was going to get sterilized. When grandma heard this, she said if dad dared to do that, she would hang herself at the door of our house. Sister, you don't know, grandma is really capable of such a thing. Last time she banged her head against the wall. She really did it. We were all scared to death."
Jian Yunsang really didn't know about this. The older the old lady got, the more stubborn she became, and the stronger her obsession with having a grandson became.
Jian Yunlu sighed, "My dad could only go along with her and verbally agreed, but he didn't really do anything. Seeing that my dad was adamant, grandma went to talk to my mom, saying that my mom was useless and couldn't give birth to a son, which made my dad lose his roots. It's so funny. Whether to have a boy or a girl is a man's decision. What does it have to do with my mom?"
