Jean Talon achieved many accomplishments throughout his life. One of his best ideas was establishing "les filles du roi", which was held in 1663-1673. The plan worked out exceedingly well. Jean Talon brought over 1200 "les filles du roi" to New France. The purpose of this idea was to increase the population in New France (which wasn't growing quickly). Jean Talon figured out the problem: almost everyone in New France were men (he conducted the first census in 1666). Which means there will be no children, so Jean Talon decided to send women over to New France (known as "les filles du roi") and have them have children as quickly as possible. Here are some more details of arriving in New France with "les filles du roi": they receive room and board; they also get a dowry of 50 livres (when they marry). The prices were: 30 livres for a wardrobe of two sets of clothes and 60 livres for the transport to New France. Within 15 years, Jean Talon's plan of "les filles du roi" was accomplished by tripling the population in New France.
Jean Talon also had another excellent scheme of increasing the population in New France. It was the "system of incentives", which helped the population grow from 3 200 to 7 600. This is how the system worked. People would get a reward (money) if they married early and had over 10 children. There were also penalties (money) for those who are 20 years of age and haven't married yet and for parents that have daughters that are 16 years old and were still single. That's how the "system of incentives" worked and in the end, Jean Talon was successful.
Another idea that Jean Talon had was, encouraging habitants to do less hunting and trapping. Instead, they should clear land. Jean Talon also wanted to make New France more self-sufficient by experimenting with hardier stains of wheat, large stocks of wheat crops.
One other accomplishment Jean Talon had done was founding three new villages. They were called: Bourg-Royal, Bourg-la-Reine, and Bourg-Talon. These new villages were different because the design of the village was unlike the usual villages of the past. Now, let me write about the design of the village. First of all, the houses were built close together, there are 40 pie-shaped lots, built at the narrow tip of every wedge, the houses were readily defended and it was less isolated, which was easier. Then, there was a church and the villages grouped around it, so it was like the heart of the each village. Soon, there were settlers applying for lots. All they had to do was paid a small amount of money; clear a certain amount of land and help clear other lots too. The settlers also got tools and food, until they had a harvest themselves. Jean Talon also bought a lot himself to see if it was working properly. Before long, the villages became communities. Another accomplishment by Jean Talon!
