With Luo Chong personally giving the order, the data below was quickly reported up. Luo Chong skimmed through it, and the results were still within what he could accept.
The average lifespan of the people had increased noticeably. Most strikingly, more and more people were living past the age of forty—something that had been almost impossible in the past.
There were also many new births. Thanks to several of Luo Chong's policies encouraging childbirth, such as granting families several mu of tax-free land for having children, the families of the Han Tribe were actively reproducing. In just two years, the number of newborns had already exceeded thirty thousand. For the Han Tribe, whose total population was only a little over a hundred thousand, this was no small figure.
Of course, this figure referred to newborns who were still alive. It did not include those who had died prematurely.
The statistics showed that the mortality rate among children under six in the Han Tribe was 37 percent. It was a shocking figure, but still within Luo Chong's expectations. To be honest, he was already quite relieved that it had not exceeded 50 percent.
Even this result had only been achieved after he worked hard to improve the people's quality of life. Before the Han Tribe existed, who knew how horrifying the child mortality rate among those clans had been?
Luo Chong remembered that in ancient times, the mortality rate for children under fifteen had been around 30 percent. It was still terrifying, but at least it was below one-third. When the Rabbit Republic had just been founded, it had also collected statistics in this area. The newborn mortality rate had been around 200 per thousand, meaning one in five children had died in the cradle. At the time, the mortality rate
