The big man has a living father

Chapter 237: Prohibition of Enclosure

Aren't you using the combative nature of football to solve the problem of idle workers getting together and easily rebelling?

How come after it was accomplished, the aggressive nature of football became a violation of the original intention of football?

Isn't the original purpose of football to allow people to vent?

Huo Hai glanced at Huangfu Hua and said, "There's nothing wrong with what I said. Football has had rules since the beginning. Winning and losing are decided on the field. What happened off the field was unnecessary."

Huangfu Hua understood that you were not only destroying the bridge after crossing it, but also throwing dirty water on me.

Huangfu Hua asked in detail about the scale of football, the rules of football, the organization of football matches, and also learned about the construction of wooden stands.

Then he asked: "If it is true as imagined, some teams will be liked by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in the future, how big will the stadium be?"

Huo Hai: "Since so many people like it, of course we have to make a profit. It would be a shame if we don't do business with it, so naturally the ticket prices will go up."

"Besides, 100,000 people is not a lot of talent. A million or tens of millions is not impossible."

Huo Hai was a football fan in his previous life and was very familiar with the rules of football.

Moreover, Huo Hai is not the kind of fan who has only watched football for one or two years and only understands the surface. After watching football for a long time, he will find that football is a game.

A football match is essentially a game that utilizes time and space.

There is a game between players and substitutes, and there is a game between players and head coaches.

The head coach has to negotiate with his opponents and also with his boss.

Even fans often have to play games with the team.

These games are complex.

In the past, Chinese football was not good for many reasons.

The most important thing is that teams from all over the country are unable to gather too many die-hard fans and cannot label themselves.

European teams, for example, can say that they are a workers' city so they are a workers' team. There are also rich people's teams, and they are even divided by groups, such as Tottenham, which is a Jewish team.

in the country, who is not a workers' team? This has lost the most serious reason for struggle.

There is no reason for struggle, and there is no possibility of real fighting, so it is inevitable that tacit ball will appear, and tacit ball will evolve into a fixed match.

They started later than others, and were easily influenced by favoritism and were a breeding ground for match-fixing, so it was difficult for them to get back on their feet.

The reason is that human energy is limited. If the level of a place is not high to begin with, and the players are fighting with their teammates and trying every means to fix matches, how can there be progress?

It takes high-level competition to train strong players.

Other football powers also have match-fixing, but they first acquire competitive ability and then gamble. It is different from first gamble to get a few qualifications and then exercise competitive ability.

This is just one of the reasons, there are many reasons why football is bad.

But in Huo Hai's current opinion, the environment in these aspects of the Han Dynasty is much better than in his previous life.

The Han Dynasty is far inferior to its predecessor in many aspects. Compared with its predecessor, its industry is like a baby among babies.

But in Huo Hai's opinion, the big man will definitely beat his predecessor in football in a short period of time.

In the past, there were only a few thousand professional players in the country. It was said that there were only 11 players who could play football among 1.4 billion people. In fact, the truth was that among the thousands of people, there were only 11 players who could play football.

But in Dahan, millions of workers will soon start playing football.

There’s no other reason, it’s just too boring and there’s nothing else to do.

It's so hard to have some fun, but it's gambling.

Most people will definitely not gamble after learning that gambling is illegal. After all, it is hard to live a good life, and most people will not do dangerous things to dig holes for themselves.

As football matches become more numerous and a daily routine, and as a distinction between strong and weak players is established.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, we launched the official football lottery.

The gambling culture can be destroyed with just one blow.

As for capital taking a fancy to football and starting commercial operations, there is a possibility that gambling will reappear in the form of football betting.

That is a matter for the future, not for the present.

There is another advantage to launching football now.

That is, since the military no longer needed so much cowhide equipment, cowhide was mostly used by adventurers who went westward to explore and develop the country.

But how much can they consume?
What about sheepskin?
Now that there are more cotton products, the use of sheepskin has dropped dramatically. No matter how many sheepskin rafts there are in the Yellow River, they cannot use so many. Now that people are allowed to eat sheep, there are even more sheepskins.

Nowadays, lambskin leather shoes are everywhere in the streets, while pigskin leather shoes were only popular for four years before they disappeared from the stage of history.

But there is still a lot of sheepskin and cowhide to use up.

A ball can solve this problem.

So, it's time to roll out the football.

After Huangfu Hua left Huo Hai, he quickly pushed the matter aside.

It is very easy to promote the movement among the 120,000 police officers within the police force.

As I said, whatever the leaders like, the people below have to follow and set an example, there is no need to enforce them.

Huangfu Hua got a group of police officers to play football, and with so many subordinates watching, the news that Huangfu Hua liked playing football soon spread.

Then the sport of football spread among the police.

At the same time, not only internally, but others are also learning.

Whenever a game is going on, there will always be people watching. After seeing a new thing, few people can resist trying it out themselves. With a football, people can resist trying it out, after all, no one wants to be a goalkeeper, but they can’t resist the itch of their feet.

Soon someone started learning.

Within a month, football became popular throughout Chang'an.

Huo Hai doesn't have time to play. Recently, Huo Hai has been promoting education. Huo Hai wants to introduce nine-year compulsory education.

However, there seems to be something wrong.

Because there don't seem to be that many professional teachers.

Nine-year compulsory education means that at least all children of school age must be enrolled in school.

The new studies of this era take nine years to learn, and if you really learn it, you can almost go directly from elementary school to graduate school.

So Huo Hai took a step back and changed it to six years of compulsory education.

As for the school age, it was lowered by two years to nine years old.

In this way, after learning, you are usually fifteen years old, and after adapting to the new environment, you will be sixteen years old. You are no longer a child laborer. This is more in line with the current environment.

This also means that once the child is nine years old, the couple will have time to have another child.

Even if a family does not have three generations living together, it is possible to have more than one child.

Even a dual-working family can have children.

During Huo Hai's planning, he saw a lot of the Han people's latest statistics.

The population growth of the Han Dynasty was extremely exaggerated, so exaggerated that if Emperor Wu of Han had not suppressed it, all the court officials would have been intimidated.

Twenty years ago, Emperor Liu Che conducted a population census. The number of households counted and the average population per household calculated was almost 30 million.

Including those who may be hidden, the total number is 40 million.

Before Huo Hai began to develop new business reforms, the population of the Han Dynasty increased by nearly 10 million. In addition to the population that joined from various tribes around the Han Dynasty and all the people within the borders of the Han Dynasty who were originally barbarians but are now Han people, the total population is more than 70 million.

Now, eight years have passed.

The population of the Han Dynasty is... 120 million.

Almost doubled. The scary thing is that the average age of the men is less than 20 years old.

Eight years ago, the average life expectancy of a Han Chinese person was about 40 years old. Taking into account the number of children who died young, the average life expectancy was 30 years old.

Currently, the research institute estimates that the life expectancy of the urban population in Greater Han is over 60, and the average life expectancy of the rural population is estimated to be 48.

However, there are not so many people over the age of forty in the Han Dynasty.

About six years ago, when newly trained doctors began to spread across the country, people in various places who were almost certain to die at the age of 40 suddenly seemed to never die and their life expectancy continued.

But the question is, how many of them are there? When their generation was born, the Han population was only about 30 million.

Fewer than 700,000 people are born each year.

And now? Nearly 10 million people are born every year!
A large number of families have more than three children, and many families with four children have emerged.

So, one thousand children and hundreds of thousands of "old people" in their forties are considered the average age.

By this calculation, the average age of the Han people is no more than 20 years old.

According to this calculation, in about ten years, the Han Dynasty will experience another population explosion.

Because ten years later, eight or nine million people will reach marriageable age every year.

This number is much more exaggerated than the one calculated by Zhang Tang and Liu Che.

Because Zhang Tang missed one thing.

Full, warm and lustful.

In the past, people were too tired from the busy farming season and had no time. After summer, it was too cold and they had no interest. In spring, there was a gap between harvest and harvest and they were hungry and had no energy. In summer, it was too hot during the dog days of summer and they could not come.

There isn't much time in a year to do that.

Now, in spring, cats meow loudly, and people feel itchy. In summer, it is hot, but the building with attic is still quite cool. In autumn, the food is full of oil, and there is plenty of energy. In winter, it is too cold, and the house is warm. There is nothing to do in the dark house, so it is better to do something.

It’s not that these people want to have children, they have no choice but to do so.

Most people will give birth if they get pregnant and will not buy pesticides.

Many people have just had their period for two months and then stopped. Experienced women know what happened.

It is impossible for the population not to expand.

In this case, more consideration needs to be given to six-year compulsory education.

Because this means that after tens of millions of Han workers generate income and taxes for the court, they have to support 60 million students.

Even if there are only 8 million people every year, with six years of compulsory education, that would be 48 million students.

It's very expensive.

I just don’t know whether Liu Che is willing to do so.

If he is willing, then the big man will tighten his belt and slow down the pace of development in recent years.

When the illiteracy rate drops below 20 percent, the wages of workers, who earn an average of 3,000 yuan per person, will skyrocket, and then the Han people will be rich.

Liu Che had a doubt.

If a person with education can earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, or even more in the future, where would that money come from?

Huo Hai had to remind Liu Che that money was just a number, and the current stable economic policy of the Han Dynasty was just to use appropriate money to express the fruits of labor of all the workers of the Han Dynasty.

More and more people are educated, and the average working capacity of these people is far greater than that of ordinary laborers. The results of their labor will skyrocket, and it is normal for the per capita wage to skyrocket.

But this was the last surge.

When everyone becomes educated, wages will not increase by dozens of times. They can only increase slowly every year, reaping the benefits of new technology while suffering the effects of inflation.

Liu Che reacted and realized that he was confused while counting the money and forgot what money was.

In addition to people and money, Huo Hai also paid attention to something unusual.

In many places, people with foresight or information sources began to acquire land.

Huo Hai's Huo's Trading Company and Liu Che's own people were buying land across the country.

At present, more and more land of the Han Dynasty belongs to the two of them.

There are two reasons for buying land.

First, development requires land. If the land is in your hands, you can just draw lines on it at any time in the future. You don’t have to deal with disputes, and you won’t be suddenly blackmailed by a high price.

Second, after obtaining the land, they can rent it to farmers at a very low price, allowing them to farm and thus ensure food.

If land remains so expensive, and if workers continue to make so much money, how many people will stay to farm?

They will all become workers.

There is only one way to solve this problem.

[The use of agricultural land shall not be modified. 】

If agricultural land is always agricultural land, no houses or roads can be built, and no factories or commercial activities can be established without approval.

Then there won’t be so many people buying land.

Even if someone buys it, the price won’t go up.

Only those who can obtain commercial permits can increase the price of land.

In this case, the high price is not the land, but the strip.

The solution to the second problem is still this one.

As long as the conversion of agricultural land to commercial use is prohibited in certain high-yield areas, these places will not be able to develop business, and the people living there will have no place to work and will have to farm.

Although there will still be many people who decide to leave, more people will stay.

However, Huo Hai only handed this item to Liu Che, and did not raise it at the court meeting like the police system, which required it to be implemented.

Because Huo Hai was actually reminding Liu Che that land use rights and owning land are two different things.

Being allowed to own and being allowed to use the land are two different things.

Huo Hai held so much land and did not want to harm his descendants. Huo Hai would accept any policy that Liu Che wanted to set.

If Emperor Liu Che stipulated that all land belonged to the Han Dynasty and private individuals could only purchase the right to use it, Huo Hai would also accept it. After all, he owned so much land that it could be directly converted into the right to use it, so any profit he could make was a good one.

If Emperor Liu Che stipulated that private individuals could continue to hold land with malicious intent, then the land should be divided among the children. The focus in the future would be to have more children and divide the land so that no one would covet it.

By the time Huo Hai had sorted out these issues and made a plan, several months had passed.

In Chang'an City, playing football has become the first choice for many workers during their rest time.

Watching football has also become a favorite activity for many children and workers who don't want to be too active.

There are even a few teams that are relatively famous among the people.

The Royal Arsenal, the Coal Mine Team, the Railway Team, the Royal Guards, the Research Institute Team... These teams are backed by super large enterprises. They select the best from within their own enterprises and quickly promote those who play well to their main teams, and then start to make appointments for matches everywhere.

These teams have won the most games, so they are very famous and have a lot of supporters. Every time they play football, there are huge crowds of spectators on the sidelines.

Several large companies even bought the factory sites in Chang'an City that used to be workshops but have now been relocated, demolished them and turned them into a large stadium, which they use as the home team's stadium.

Huo Hai didn't expect this thing to develop so fast!
