When he took over Gaosu's population and annexed the two Fusang players' populations, Luo Ji carefully checked and made a simple estimate in his mind.

I can't say how accurate that estimate is, but after all, he has been the emperor for so many years, and he has an idea of ​​how far the population of his civilization will grow in the next few decades.

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

But now, the entire situation is obviously far beyond his expectations at the time!

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

Find an empty table and spread out all the statistical tables according to year.

His eyes quickly swept over, and after flipping through nearly fifty years of census tables, Luo Ji gradually realized what the problem was.

Nearly forty years ago, the annual population growth rate was basically under Luo Ji's control.

But after that, the population growth rate obviously began to become a little abnormal.

Then, Luo Ji, who seemed to have realized something, quickly flipped through and checked a certain piece of data, and then he suddenly understood.

It’s not that the number of new people added every year has increased, but that the number of deaths per year has dropped!

Or to put it another way, the citizens of his civilization are beginning to live longer!

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

While new lives are born every day, countless lives also age and die. This is a cycle.

To a certain extent, a balance has been achieved.

This makes a civilization, under normal circumstances, not experience an exaggerated population increase.

But what if the new generation has fully grown up and the older generation has not yet died of 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 go by!

"Barenque, please go to the Statistics Bureau again..."

Luo Ji looked at the statistics in his hand and ordered again.

After running errands several times, Luo Ji's desk was completely covered with documents, and at the same time, Luo Ji basically sorted out his thoughts.

According to the latest statistics, the current average life span of citizens of other civilized human races is eighty-four point three years.

This average lifespan is already very high. This average lifespan alone allows many of them to easily live together for four generations, and there are quite a few people among them whose lifespan is even longer than this average lifespan.

high!

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

Finally, based on various data, a result was obtained.

That is, within their civilization of all realms, there are more than one group of human races whose lifespans have begun to grow longer.

Among them, what can be clearly confirmed is the members of the state religion!

Many members of the state religion are over 100 years old, and one of the oldest is already 109 years old this year!

Even in today's civilization of all worlds, a human elder who can live to be eighty or ninety years old is considered to have a long life, and anyone who is over a hundred years old can basically be regarded as auspicious.

A few like this are not unusual, but within the state religion, there are many!

In addition, there are more senior members in their eighties and nineties.

Although those believers were already quite young when they officially joined the religion, they have performed well in the decades since they joined the religion and are all extremely devout believers.

This made Luo Ji more clearly aware that such a situation might be due to the power of faith accumulated in those believers.

Luo Ji himself had experienced this.

Those powers of faith will have a beneficial impact on the body invisibly. If the body is good, the life will be longer. This is a matter of course.

As for the other group of people who lived a long life, Luo Ji had somewhat anticipated that they would be those soldiers who had served in the army.

According to the reports that have been sent so far, the earliest batch of retired soldiers in the forging realm, although their hair and beards are now white, and they are in their seventies or eighties, they are still in good health and have the same bones as their young ones.

Compared with children, they are not inferior.

Looking at that posture, it will be no problem to live for another ten or twenty years.

By then, there will probably be a large number of centenarians again.

Don't underestimate the number of retired soldiers every year. Added up year by year, over the past few decades, the number is already quite astonishing.

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

Even if you fail to reach the physical training state, the effect of strengthening your body is still very good.

After many citizens have experienced the benefits, they probably don't need anyone to urge them and will practice well by themselves.

In this way, with the significant increase in average life expectancy and the emergence of many long-lived people, the civilization of all worlds has continued to increase the number of newborns in the past few decades, while the mortality rate of the original population has dropped significantly.

, and finally the total population began to increase significantly.

Under this premise, if you look at each year separately, you really can't see anything. But once they are piled together, the total population has obviously increased a lot.

Looking at this situation, it has really become a top priority to increase the farmland area and thus increase the grain production in the next few years.

Moreover, while the area of ​​this land is suitable for farming, it must also be large enough. In order to increase food production, at least 500,000 acres of land are required. Under the premise of ensuring this limit, the bigger the better.

But, on the main continent, except for the deep mountains and old forests that are still under development, the available land is basically occupied.

You can't let him issue an order to demolish the original buildings and convert them to farming, right?

This is not a good idea at all.

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

With this thought in mind, Luo Ji dragged the system map and finally set his sights on the New Continent.

"By the way, there is also the New World!"

Over the years, the main task of the New Continent has been construction and development, and the supply of food is basically provided by the main continent. In terms of agriculture, there has not been any good development.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, farming can be developed in the New World.

There is currently plenty of space in the New World. After thinking about it for a while, Luo Ji directly issued an order to the management officials in the New World.
