Taking the Qing Dynasty as an example, the imperial court opened an official marriage agency-Shantang. Its function is to help unmarried men and women find suitable partners and get married and have children as soon as possible. For the feudal dynasty, population was the first fighting force. As long as there are many people, hundreds of thousands of troops can be formed in minutes. Those who dare to provoke themselves? Small barbarian country? Whatever you want? Sweep? Clean.
The most important measure is to strictly limit the age of marriage for men and women. The Western Han government stipulated that women must get married before the age of 15, or they will be charged five times the poll tax. During the war years, the policy was even more ruthless. For example, the Northern Qi policy promulgated a law: if a woman is over 0/4 years old and unmarried, her parents will be executed once she is found.
Faced with such a strict policy of the imperial court, the average family will choose to obey. If someone really exceeds the legal age (30 years old) and does not get married, the government will send staff to arrest them, and then it will not be as simple as a fine!
Of course, the court also understands? Give a stick and a candy? The fact is that families with more children will get some material rewards. Gou Jian in Vietnam once ordered that pregnant women who were about to give birth should be looked after by doctors sent by the state; There are different material rewards for giving birth to boys or girls; If there are more than three children in the family, the state also provides free wet nurses. As for why Gou Jian introduced such generous fertility conditions? Don't forget, everyone? Sleep on your laurel? This story. It is his greatest pursuit to defeat Wu and avenge his death. For this lofty goal, everything is worthwhile.
With the development of the times, the courts have introduced more and more humanized systems. For example, family members can follow soldiers stationed in other places, and couples who can contact at any time will naturally increase the fertility rate.
