When he accepted Gao Su's population and annexed the two Fusang player populations, Luo Ji had confirmed it well, and at the same time had made a simple estimate in his mind.

I can't say how accurate that estimate is, but after all, he has been an emperor for so many years, and he has a certain number in his mind about how much the population of his Wanjie civilization can grow in the next few decades.

And it is precisely because of the number that he is basically at ease with the current grain output.

But now, the whole situation has obviously far exceeded his expectations at the time!

The office of the Capital Bureau of Statistics is located in the office area of ​​the Imperial Palace. Barenke made this trip without much effort, and quickly brought over several statistical tables.

Find an empty table and spread out the statistics tables by year.

His gaze swept over quickly, and after scrolling through the demographic tables of nearly fifty years in one breath, Luo Ji gradually realized what the problem was.

Nearly 40 years ago, the annual population growth rate was basically within Luo Ji's grasp.

But after that, the rate of population growth has obviously started to become somewhat abnormal.

Afterwards, Luo Ji, who seemed to realize something, quickly checked a certain data, and then the whole person suddenly realized.

It's not that the number of new population increases every year, but the number of deaths per year has dropped!

Or to put it another way, the citizens of his ten thousand world civilization began to live longer!

Under normal circumstances, the birth of a new generation also represents the aging of the old generation.

While new life is born every day, there are also countless lives that grow old and die. This is a cycle.

To some extent, a balance has also been reached.

Makes a civilization, under normal circumstances, the population will not experience an exaggerated surge.

But what if the new generation has fully grown up, and the old generation has not died of natural old age?

The entire balance that was originally maintained will naturally be damaged to a certain extent, and the extent of this damage will become more and more exaggerated as the years accumulate!

"Barenque, you go to the Bureau of Statistics again..."

Luo Ji, who was looking at the statistics in his hand, ordered again.

After running errands a few times, Luo Ji's desk was completely covered with documents, and at the same time, Luo Ji's thoughts were basically clear.

According to the latest statistics, the average life expectancy of a human citizen of the Ten Thousand Realms Civilization is currently 84.3 years old.

This average lifespan is already very high. Just relying on this average lifespan, many of them can easily reach the level of four generations living in the same family, and some of them have a lifespan that is longer than this average lifespan. high!

In order to obtain a more reliable data, Luo Ji asked various departments to conduct more detailed investigations and statistics in the following days.

Finally, according to the data, a result is obtained.

That is, within their Myriad Realms civilization, there are more than one group of human races whose lifespans have become longer.

Among them, it has been clearly confirmed that they are members of the state religion!

Among the members of the state religion, many of them are over a hundred years old, and one of the oldest is already one hundred and nine years old this year!

Even in today's Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, an old human being can live to be eighty or ninety years old, and it is considered a long life. Those who are over one hundred years old can basically be regarded as Renrui.

It's not unusual to have a few like this, but within the state religion, there are many!

In addition, there are more old members in their 80s and 90s.

Although those believers were not young when they officially joined the church, they have been performing well in the decades after joining the church, and they are all extremely devout believers.

This made Luo Ji realize more clearly that such a situation would probably be due to the belief power accumulated in those believers.

Luo Ji himself had experienced this.

Those beliefs will have a beneficial effect on the body invisibly. If the body is healthy, the life will naturally last for a long time. This is a matter of course.

As for the other group of people with longevity, Luo Ji had some expectations, and that was the soldiers who had served in the army.

According to the report submitted so far, the first batch of retired soldiers in the forging realm, although their hair and beards are all white, and they are in their 70s or 80s, they are still in good health. Compared with children, they are not inferior.

Looking at that posture, it would be fine to live another ten or twenty years.

At that time, it is estimated that there will be a large number of centenarians.

But don't underestimate the number of retired soldiers every year. After a few decades, the number is already quite astounding.

At the same time, the significant increase in average lifespan within the civilization is probably inseparable from Luo Ji's large-scale popularization of 'basic body training' in his early years.

Even if it fails to reach the physical fitness level, the effect of strengthening the body is still very good.

Many citizens, after realizing the benefits, do not need to be urged by anyone, and they will practice hard on their own.

In this way, with the significant increase in average lifespan and the emergence of many high-lived people, it has directly led to the Myriad Realms Civilization in the past few decades, while maintaining the continuous increase of the new population, the original population, the mortality rate has dropped significantly. , and finally the total population began to rise significantly.

Under this premise, if you look at it separately every year, you really can't see anything, but once it is piled together, the total population has obviously increased by a lot.

Looking at this situation, increasing the area of ​​farmland, thereby increasing the grain output in the next few years, has really become a matter of urgency.

And this land area, while suitable for farming, must also be large enough. In order to increase grain production, at least 500,000 mu of land is required. On the premise of ensuring this minimum, the bigger the better.

However, on the main continent, except for the deep mountains and old forests that are still under development, the land that can be used is basically occupied.

Can't let him give an order to demolish the original building and change to farming?

It's not a good idea by any means.

As for speeding up the development of those deep mountains and old forests, and then increasing the area of ​​farmland, the efficiency is too slow.

With this thought in mind, Luo Ji, who was dragging the system map, finally set his sights on the New World.

"By the way, there is a new continent!"

Over the past few years, the main task of the New World is to engage in construction and development, and the supply of food is basically provided by the main continent, and there is not much development in agriculture itself.

Taking this opportunity, just let the New World develop agriculture.

On the New World side, there are currently some places. After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ji issued an order directly to the governance officials on the New World side.

Let them get ready to build a large farm with two million acres of land!

The Plus Sixteen of the Silver League!
