Using gold to boost population/attract immigrant

I played with big towns (>1500) and the turtle speed population growth is quite bothering me, like I am getting only about 4-5 positive growth (birth - death) per year, with 6-10 months of foods and hundreds of houses surplus, and ~99% happiness. When a raid happens and soldiers dead, it can means a few years of population growth just vanished. Also, I have like 200k golds lying around most of the time.

So I am thinking, can we spend some gold for “advertisements” or “campaign” to attract more immigrant? Perhaps can be used on Tier 4 townhall.
