Chapter 297 Population is a big problem
As time goes by, under the hard work of the imperial government, by 2040, everything in the empire has been on the right track, and Chang'an City has become a brand new capital, with schools, hospitals, banks, supermarkets, companies, etc. Everything is running normally, and the most difficult transition period has been passed.

Here in the residential quarters, in the small gardens of the villas, children playing freely can be seen everywhere, and the adults are very relieved, because there is no need to worry about human traffickers, vehicles, etc. here in the empire. .

And although the empire has made great changes in various aspects, there is still no change in the area of ​​forced births. In the empire, there are also laws about forced births, because the population of the empire is too small, and it is only now. With a population of more than 1000 million, this population, not to mention the interstellar universe, is far from enough here on Yanhuang Star, not to mention that the empire also has a Kyushu star with a larger land area.

Therefore, on the issue of population, although the people of the empire complained about it, especially the women in the empire, they still insisted on the forced birth policy under the insistence of the upper echelons of the empire. Of course, on the empire's side, the rewards for the forced birth policy are even more generous , give birth to children to be raised by the imperial government, the more children you have, the more rewards you will get.

Starting from the third child, the people of the empire can not only get generous material rewards, but also many other rewards, such as the small private anti-gravity spaceships that are selling very hot now, because the current production is limited, it is impossible to say that they are satisfied Every household has its own spaceship.

Therefore, the lottery is usually carried out. If the lottery is reached, then you can buy it. However, in order to encourage the people of the empire to work hard to have babies, the empire rewards them in this regard. The more children there are, the earlier they will get small anti-gravity spaceships.

For another example, in terms of promotion and salary increase, one's own ability and contribution are naturally the most important considerations. The other is the number of children in the family. If there are many children, not to mention promotion, the imperial law has relevant regulations on mandatory salary increases. , Whether the company is willing or not, it must raise wages for families with many children.

Of course, despite the implementation of various policies to encourage childbirth, the population of the empire will not be able to grow overnight. It will take at least 20 years for a person to be raised and educated, from kindergarten to university. Time to truly be an adult.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people. The huge new population will put great pressure on the government, but whether it is Li Fu or Founder, the high-level officials of the empire are very clear that there are people who have everything. Maybe now the pressure of each start is It is very large, but as long as it survives, the huge population will be converted into a strong driving force, making the empire prosperous and strong.

Therefore, the citizens of the empire have government subsidies to have children, and they basically don’t have to pay for it themselves. Education is also completely free and compulsory until the university level. It can be said that what really needs to be spent on having children is energy and hard work. As for the financial burden You can completely ignore it.

The houses of the citizens of the empire are allocated by the government. Except for the emperor, everyone lives in the same house. As long as they register and get married, they can be allocated their own house. There is no need to spend generations buying a house like this on the earth. Blood, but also bear a huge mortgage.

Powerful technology ensures an extremely rich material supply. In terms of material life, the people of the empire really don't have to worry about it, so the aspect of having children is relatively positive.

Most of them come from poor families and rural families. The concept of their parents is more or less reserved, and there are quite a lot of children in every household.

Under the giant leaf tree in the back garden of the Imperial Palace, Li Fu read a book leisurely, while eating delicious fruits from Kyushu Star, and at the same time looked at the little guys who were playing football on the lawn not far away, as the emperor of the empire Li Fu naturally wants to show the people of the entire empire in terms of giving birth.

Up to now, from Li Wanzhou, who is 18 years old and has just grown up, to Li Wanqing, the youngest daughter who is still in her infancy, Li Fu and Wang Yun have given birth to 8 children. The eight-year-old boy is playing freely on the lawn.

Wang Yun walked over with a baby in her arms. Although she is already a mother of 8 children, she has persisted in cultivating Yuanli for a long time. Wang Yun still looks the same as when she was in Yanhuang University, but she exudes the smell of a mature woman. Even more obsessed.

Li Fu and Wang Yun have a very good relationship, which is why Wang Yun, as an educated woman, is still willing to give birth to so many children for Li Fu. Sometimes a wife is unwilling to have children. First of all, as a husband, you should reflect on yourself. I didn't take good care of my child when I gave birth, and I didn't treat my wife well enough.

"Haha, my little lover."

As soon as Li Fu saw the little baby Li Wanqing in Wang Yun's arms, he immediately transformed into a super daddy, and carefully hugged the little guy. At this time, the little guy was looking at this colorful baby with curious eyes. The big eyes turn from time to time, carved in powder and jade, very cute.

"Be careful, hands and feet."

A smile appeared on Wang Yun's face. In the past, she would never have thought that one day she would have 8 children, but now, she still has no regrets, because whenever she sees her children, Wang Yun Always feel happy.

The eldest son, Li Wanzhou, has already gone to college, and now he rarely goes home, pursuing his dream in school. The second son, Li Wansheng, is now in high school with very good grades. The only thing he worries about is puppy love. Many girls chase after.

The third daughter, Li Wanqiu, is now in junior high school. She is very obedient and a good baby, so she doesn't have to worry about anything at all.The fourth daughter Li Wanjing is also in junior high school, and she is also a good baby.

The fifth son Li Wandu, the sixth son Li Wanzhang, and the seventh son Li Wanyuan are all young, so they need to worry about it, but Li Fu's parents are also around, and coupled with the safe environment of the empire, they can rest assured to let them Playing, carrying and still coming is basically free-range, easy.

Of course, no matter what this kind of freeing is, Li Fu and Wang Yun have always been very strict in terms of education. Every child's grades are among the best. At the same time, they have never slackened in the cultivation of Yuanli. This freeing is just for fun. You don’t need to worry about it when you’re young, you don’t need to be afraid like on this side of the earth, a child often needs several adults to watch over it 24 hours a day, for fear that something will go wrong.

"Call Dad."

Li Fu picked up the little guy, made eye contact with her, and teased her carefully. When he saw Li Fu, the little guy danced with excitement and screamed.

"It's only a few months now."

Wang Yun took a bite of the fruit and gave Li Fu a blank look.

"Brother Fu, let's not have children in the future, okay?"

Wang Yun thought for a while and expressed his thoughts. Although the husband and wife are very affectionate and Li Fu loves him very much, there is nothing to worry about, but pregnancy and childbirth are also very pleasant experiences for a woman. Pregnancy in October It's just the beginning. Giving birth, confinement, and raising children are really exhausting. After giving birth to 8 children, Wang Yun doesn't want to have another child.

"Well, no more, thank you wife!"

Li Fu nodded solemnly, and kissed Wang Yun on the forehead. Li Fu was very grateful for how many children Wang Yun could bear for him.

Wang Yun gently rubbed Li Fu's waist, feeling extremely happy, and looked at the little guy playing not far away, with a happy smile on his face.

"Cough cough."

Just when Li Fu and Wang Yun were enjoying the family happiness, an untimely voice sounded, causing the two to separate quickly. Looking up, it was Fang Zheng, Zhong Yun, Chen Bin, Yu Liang and others. He looked at the two of them with a grin.

"Why are you here, please sit down."

Li Fu was slightly embarrassed, wondering if there should be some rules in this palace, but he knew in his heart that if they came together, they must have something to look for him, so he quickly greeted everyone.

"Is there something for everyone to come over together?"

Everyone surrounded the city and sat down under the giant leaf tree, Li Fu asked with a smile.

"We came here this time mainly to discuss the population issue. The current population of our empire is only about 1000 million, which is too small. Although we have adopted various policies to increase the population, we will soon It is still difficult to increase the population on a large scale.”

Fangzheng nodded. After the empire is on the right track, he, the prime minister, can also start to solve important problems. The most urgent task now is to find ways to increase the population.

"Our population is indeed too small, especially compared to the vast land we own. There has been no progress in the development of Kyushu Star, and there is only one Chang'an City in Yanhuang Star. The city built in the southern hemisphere Well, it’s been uninhabited.”

"Now the population problem has seriously hindered the rapid development of our empire. We must find a way to increase the population. At least, we need to have a population of more than [-] million."

Zhong Yun followed suit and nodded. This is too little. There is a lot of wealth, but it cannot be developed. There are powerful space battleships and technology, but there is not enough population to expand.

"Do you have any good ways to increase the population?"

After hearing this, Li Fu frowned and nodded respectfully. Li Fu was also very worried about the population problem. Having and raising children is not something that can be reproduced on a large scale and unlimitedly like an industrial process, but takes time and energy. Only by raising and educating can we get an excellent high-quality population.

"We want to bring in immigrants from this side of the planet."

Fangzheng nodded and spoke slowly.
