      Hi!

      There were multiple actions taken to increase the population like the arrival of the Fille du roi. Jean Talon also implemented four policies to naturaly increase the population (not with immigration, but with a higher birth rate) :

      • Cash bonuses were paid to families with 10 living children or more.
      • Fathers of unmarried sons over the age of 21 or unmarried daughters over the age of 17 had to pay fines.
      • Single men lost their trading, fishing or hunting license if they refused to marry.
      • The King gave money to men under 20 and girls under the age of 16 on their wedding day.

      If you want to know more about the population of New France at this time, there is this fact sheet :

      If you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask! We'll be happy to help!
