How the economy developed after the plague in ancient China

1, warehousing and preparing for the famine, grain relief

Disasters or epidemics occur, often the price of food rises greatly, the establishment of large grain warehouses, in the event of a natural disaster to open the warehouse to release grain relief, is a good solution, as long as the warehouse food reserves are sufficient, in the event of a catastrophe, it can play a certain role in stabilizing the people's heart

2, sent, out of the medical staff and administrative personnel Disaster relief

With food reserves, only to ease the shortage of food urgency, if there is an epidemic in the location of the disaster, the court will be based on the actual situation, to provide medical assistance to the victims of the disaster, the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Imperial Hospital of the daily work of an important one, is to help the victims of the epidemic. Generally speaking, they would make some common Chinese medicines or pills and distribute them to the epidemic victims. When the situation was critical, the court would also send doctors outside to seek treatment.

3, tax relief

Disaster relief often only allows the people to save their lives, but it is still difficult to guarantee the income of the next year, so the successive dynasties of the imperial court on the disaster area tax relief, is to avoid the disaster victims riots, a major strategy, tax relief can reduce the burden on the masses of peasants, so that the people can resume production as soon as possible.

4, the direct distribution of land, housing or population relocation as a whole

In ancient times, due to the poverty of the people, whether it is to send money, food, or send medical teams to the countryside, can only save a moment of urgency, and more importantly to ensure that the epidemic populace in the aftermath of the disaster of the life of the stability of the court will also be issued for the victims of the land and housing, may directly for the victims of the disaster of the land and housing, may directly for the people to return to production

This is a major strategy to avoid riots. Housing, may be directly for the victims of land, may be relocated as a whole, may also be to encourage them to reclaim the wasteland, reclaimed wasteland, owned by the victims, the historical implementation of the "Huguang fill Sichuan", etc., are because of war or natural disasters lead to a reduction in the population of the countermeasures.

From the above, we can see that the historical emperors of natural disasters or epidemics, often people-oriented, as long as it is able to retain human resources, other are secondary, in modern times, due to population expansion, this pattern has changed, management is generally more reliant on land resources, to imagine the Ming and Qing dynasties, because of natural disasters or epidemics, the occurrence of large-scale population displacement is Unlikely, however, the year of the disaster land policy will be adjusted appropriately is possible, different times have different characteristics, after the epidemic, business opportunities will still be there, I think the business opportunities are mainly in the following industries:

One of the big health industry: medical services, drugs, equipment, and other consumables production and marketing, health management, health consulting, health food, functional beverages, nursing and so on, due to the epidemic after suffering from the sequelae of the disease. Epidemic disease after suffering from aftereffects of the more, these aspects of the demand will increase greatly, the future of health care equipment more will be to the intelligent development.

Second, the domestic service industry and old-age, child care market

In recent years, China's urban population has increased dramatically, as well as the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy, the aging population, the increase in the number of single-parent families after the epidemic, expanding the potential market capacity of domestic services; old-age, childcare nursing and other domestic labor demand continues to rise, creating a large number of domestic services and child care demand, this aspect of the Development prospects are relatively good.

Three, legal services and lawyers industry:

After the epidemic, there will be a lot of small businesses because of the lack of normal production, lack of strength, will close or close down, triangular debt will increase, the problems caused by mutual guarantees between enterprises will also break out, legal litigation matters will increase, by the impact of the epidemic, real estate sales will decline, the number of triangular debt arising from construction projects of construction companies will also be The number of triangular debts arising from construction projects of construction enterprises will also increase. Due to the shutdown of production led to some people out of work, personal economic disputes will also increase, these factors, favorable legal services and lawyers industry.

Four, grain production or distribution industry

In our country, grain mainly includes corn, rice, wheat and other three major categories, as well as beans, potatoes. 2018 China's grain production was 660 million tons, the three major grains production reached 610 million tons, feed demand in China's grain industry accounted for a relatively large proportion of the three major grains in the structure of the demand for grain, the grain used in the feed accounted for one-third of the total grain production , China's grain as a whole is not enough.

In recent years, due to the impact of swine fever, to restore hog production needs more grain, by the impact of coronavirus pneumonia, grain production capacity is reduced, the reserve is insufficient, the two years of grain shortage will be more obvious, investment in grain production or distribution industry, there will be more stable benefits.

History is a mirror, the crisis always coexist with opportunities, which is the law of survival of the commercial economy, the disaster has made many businessmen to re-recognize the situation, the need to adjust the layout. How to go in the future, how to break the economy, how to adjust the structure, depends on whether you can seize the opportunity, let's wait and see.
