I am Da Song

Chapter 542 Average Lifespan

After this mighty impeachment by the Procuratorate, Yuan Fang was officially placed in front of everyone.

Whether to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty or become a supplier of slaves has become a question that all distant countries and the Song Dynasty are thinking about.

To become a vassal state, it is natural to be under the control of Song Dynasty.

The rule of the empire has never been affectionate. Only a little tariff is relaxed and designated by the central government, which will have an extremely serious impact on the economy of the dependent country.

There is absolutely no economic autonomy without sovereign autonomy.

And this is the tenderest and most lenient of all reigns.

But if you don't want to be a member of the Song Dynasty civilization system, the consequences will be even more tragic.

They were forced to become the supply places for slaves, they were excluded from the civilization system, their resources could not be sold, and thousands of people were captured because of a little food.

Da Song represents the world today, and it is by no means empty talk.

In the 17 years since the establishment of the industry, there are more than 4000 million people in the Song Dynasty alone, which accounts for about 30.00% of the global population.That is to say, the world (including the New World) has a total population of more than 4 million.

However, if the vassal states of the Song Dynasty are included, the population of the Confucian cultural circle is close to 40.00 million, accounting for more than [-]% of the global population.

In addition to Persia, India, Southeast Asia, Egypt and other regions, the population quickly exceeded [-] million.

This means that the population of the Great Song civilization system accounts for more than 75% of the world.

Therefore, after this impeachment, Zhao Huan found that he seriously underestimated the impact of Central Plains culture on the entire world.

Especially underestimated the impact of a dynasty's continued existence.

Before Zhao Huan, during the Taishang period, the civilization of the Song Dynasty had a profound influence on the surroundings and continued to spread to all directions.

The regimes of all the surrounding countries are similar to those of the Great Song Dynasty. Even in the Zhuliya Kingdom in the south of India, the commander of the army is called the Minister.

In the Buddhist Kingdom of Sanqi, if you want to sell spices, you have to write a letter to the emperor of the Central Plains, begging the Song Dynasty to lower the tariff and save some Lilan for them.

In this situation, it is as if the Tang Dynasty had not experienced the Anshi Rebellion, was still strong and brilliant, and had firmly controlled the Western Regions for 300 years.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to imagine the terrifying influence that the culture of the Central Plains has on the local area.

And the aftermath of this impeachment has not stopped, and the merchants, captains and explorers returning from Nanyang have gathered in Tokyo.

Among them, Han Sui came back relatively late. He set sail from Java Island, weathered the wind and rain all the way, and even did not avoid the storm, and rushed back to the Central Plains immediately.

This made him feel particularly emotional. Fortunately, he invested in the shipyard in Suzhou. The top-level giant ship in Song Dynasty was as high as more than [-] shi (six or seven thousand tons), which was not weaker than sailing battleships. Scattered by the storm.

In late autumn, the ginkgo trees in the palace are full of golden leaves.

Just like the poem "Double Ginkgo" written by Yi'an Jushi Li Qingzhao: "The charm and grace are not very good. The sweet oranges in front of you can be slaves.

Whoever taught you to pluck the stems and branches, the jade bones and ice muscles are not willing to wither. "

In this season full of gardens and trees, merchants, captains and explorers finally walked into the palace representing the highest power in the world.

Han Sui has seen the prosperity and beauty of Baihuazhou, but still feels that this palace is the most beautiful, with typical elegance, majesty and magnificence.

Entering the palace, Han Sui finally saw that familiar face.

More than ten years have passed in a flash, and it is now the 17th year of Jianye. The emperor who was in his 30s at the time is now 46 years old, but he is still as gentle as jade.

The years seemed to have left no traces on his face, the emperor was still so young and full of energy.

This is natural. In order to maintain the emperor's physical condition, the imperial consortium has done its best, spending tens of millions of assets every year, which is higher than the national fiscal revenue in Taishang years, and more than the military expenditure of millions of imperial troops. Even bigger.

Therefore, Zhao Huan's state is not weaker than those female officials in their 50s and 50s in later generations.The face of a 30-year-old looks like a young man in his [-]s without any vicissitudes or wrinkles.

It may seem counterintuitive to describe young people in their 30s, but it is inevitable for the progress of the times.

In the Han Dynasty, the average life expectancy in the whole country was less than 23 years old, so you can call yourself an old man at the age of 30.

When the Chinese Empire was first established, the average life expectancy was 35 years old. People who died at the age of 60 were regarded as old people, and more than half of their lives were passed in their 30s.

But in the new century, the average life expectancy is 80 years old, and the average life expectancy of an academician is about 103 years old (the recent death of a chemical academician was 30 years old).Therefore, using 60 years as life expectancy, the 20s are indeed the [-]s of the [-]-year-old in the impression, which can be regarded as the time of youth.

Even the average life expectancy of 80 years old means that the life of people in their 30s has just bid farewell to the ivory tower and started to start.

The current civil servant rule in the Song Dynasty is very strong, and the death of every commoner is recorded in detail in the household registration.

Now the average age of death in Song Dynasty has advanced to 47 years old.

This number is not as good as the peak peak of 65 years old during the Qianlong period according to later generations, and it is also not as good as the average life expectancy of 56 years on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion.

However, this figure for later generations is taken from the data of characters in the history books of the Central Plains from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty for more than 300 years, of which more than 500 people have clear dates of birth and death.

In other words, these people are all famous people in history!Belongs to survivor bias.

Calculated according to the number of future generations, which dynasty lived the best?
The answer does not need to think too much, it is the Northern Song Dynasty.

The average life expectancy trend of the Song Dynasty is indeed worthy of the love of later generations.Except for the period of war between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, nearly 200 years of peaceful development have rapidly increased the life expectancy of the entire Song Dynasty.So the Song Dynasty, especially the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed a livable dynasty, suitable for time travel!

The most surprising is the Qing Dynasty.After the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong, the average life expectancy declined smoothly but rapidly, which proves that people's life at that time was getting worse and worse.

In the general direction of the history of this statistical table, productivity has been continuously improved and materials have been continuously enriched, so the average life expectancy of people has also continued to increase.However, the obvious anti-historical trend in the middle and late Qing Dynasty may be due to the literary prison and high-pressure rule, which led to the depression of people's spiritual life.

In this table, the average life expectancy of the Song Dynasty is also the highest, at 67 years old, the highest in all feudal dynasties.

After all, the Song Dynasty had developed medicine, and there were even nursing homes, relief workshops, and pharmacies that were forced by the government, and there was no war.

But the 67-year-old data is meaningless. Survivor bias leads to the relatively older age of those who are left in the history books.

However, the average life expectancy according to government statistics now includes figures from all social classes, from princes and nobles to infants who died prematurely.
