In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

So after the meal, all kinds of complaints were made about the injustice and meanness of bureaucratic capitalism.

As this news continued to spread, even those who usually didn't care about politics found that the struggle between certain forces had become increasingly intense.

The Prime Minister's Residence in Nagata Town.

The so-called Prime Minister's Residence is not only the office of the entire cabinet, but also the place where the Prime Minister works.

But compared to his usual ease, Kaifu Toshiki keenly felt a huge crisis as he held the newspaper in his hand.

"Asahi Shimbun"

'When spots of decay appear in the sun, invisible corners are already filled with maggots.'

As soon as I get to work in the morning.

The confidential secretary placed the newspaper on Kaifu Toshiki's desk.

The entire article did not mention the Sekino family, but it cited the corruption caused by rotting fish and meat, which pointed out the root cause of the imbalance in resource allocation and low fertility rate in today's society.

Kaifu Toshiki was overwhelmed.

With his vision, he could certainly see that the final blow against the cabinet was approaching.

The problem is that even as the number one person in Japan, the Prime Minister, he cannot use his power to resolve this matter.

Nagano!

This bastard is too vindictive! !

"My Lord, it's time for a meeting."

"Mr. Fukuzawa once said that a country where everyone wants to be an official has no future."

"Look at the country now. The allocation of resources is causing young people to lose opportunities, while some people use their government connections to buy homes early and grab more resources."

"Any responsible government agency should not sit idly by while watching the birth rate heading in a terrifying direction!"

"How can a member of the Cabinet Research Group, who has only been in office for two years, afford luxury goods and drive a luxury car like a Mercedes-Benz?"

"Power trading is like a stench that is corroding this country. Anyone with a sense of responsibility should stop this from happening!"

“I propose that public sector employees must disclose their assets so that the public can see the efforts the cabinet has made for the country.”

At the councillors' meeting.

Makiko Tanaka slammed the documents on the table and roared angrily.

When she finished speaking, someone immediately retorted:

"This...property is a personal privacy. If it is made public, is it an act of infringing human rights and privacy rights?"

"Mr. Abe, you said this because you have something to hide, right? Otherwise, any public official swears to dedicate his soul to the public welfare and national development when taking the national examination. Why would you say such an immoral thing?"

"Tanaka, please stop slandering me. The law stipulates that everyone has the right to privacy. Doesn't publicizing your property violate the law's protection of human rights?"

"If you have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to disclose your assets to the public for scrutiny?!"

"..."

A fierce battle suddenly broke out in the parliament.

Abe was so angry that he threw the documents on the table directly at Tanaka.

But this strong woman was not someone to be trifled with. She took off her shoes and hit Abe in the face.

Kaifu Junshu couldn't bear it any longer: "Mr. Tanaka, please calm down."

"Don't you think that power without supervision is like a wild horse that is out of control and can breed corruption?"

Makiko Tanaka was not polite and directly retorted with a veiled remark.

Kaibu Toshiki was so angry that he was half dead, and his usually elegant temperament became chaotic.

The others looked at each other.

For a moment I didn't know which direction to stand in.

at this time.

Koizumi stood up and bowed: "The prosperity of a country depends on its population, and the inheritance of a nation's civilization also requires blood to be passed on."

"The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's new statistical data shows that young people are refusing to start a family because they think marriage is hopeless."

"I'm sure you all know the source of the problem."

"So there is a question that makes people ponder: should carnivores eat all herbivores at once, or should they allow herbivores to reproduce better?"

"I think Mr. Tanaka's proposal is imperative."

“Just like cancer cells, if the host loses its life, is it possible for the cancer cells to survive?”

"The current problem is even more serious than expected. The national average life expectancy has reached 38 years. If the current situation is not controlled, the public burden will be forced to increase, and the aging population and fertility rate will further increase in reverse..."

"..."

Chapter 368

Koizumi Haruichiro had a heavy face. Based on the current population structure ratio controlled by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the country's long-term development planning, he tore off his previous disguise as a good guy.

This Minister of Health and Welfare, who has always been unkempt and very down-to-earth, when he was excited, used the metaphor of carnivores and herbivores to express the essential problem of population economics.

Kaifu Toshiki's eyes look at the nose, and his nose looks at the heart.

Acting as if I didn't hear anything.

Although he was very clear that both Tanaka and Koizumi's attacks were aimed at shaking the position of his cabinet.

But the problem is that compared to the damage to the cabinet, some people will definitely be more anxious about this kind of attack that cuts off the source of the problem.

after all.

The civil servants are permanent, but the cabinet is changing!

as predicted.

As soon as Koizumi Haruichiro finished speaking.

Congressman Yugi Kishida stood up immediately.

This congressman has been the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Construction since the Nakasone era, and was one of the most resolute voters in promoting the White Paper on Land and Resources and the Property Law.

Now, unless you are a fool, anyone can see that Tanaka has joined forces with Koizumi to cut down the mountain. How could he sit still?

"Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Tanaka are exaggerating!"

The average life expectancy of thirty-eight years is only the ancient standard.

With the advancement of science and technology and medicine, even those backward countries have reached an average life expectancy of 65 years. As the world's longest-lived country, my country has long reached an average life expectancy of 78 years.

Thirty-eight years old is the prime of life in modern society. Seriously speaking, the backbone of society are at this age.

How can it further aggravate the aging of society?

Or does it mean that at the age of 38 one is already an old man? Then according to what you said, Mr. Koizumi, aren't you all old men?

"

Kishida Yugi seized on Koizumi Haruichiro's words and spoke with strong sarcasm. In order to express his contempt, his eyes were extremely sarcastic, and the sarcasm almost overflowed from his face.

But don't know why.

After saying this, Kishida felt that the looks from his allies were very strange.

There are always people who agree at this time, but today no one stood up to support.

what's the situation?

Kishida Yugi looked around, confusion evident on his face.

The leader, Toshiki Kaifu, had a blank expression on his face, while Ryutaro Hashimoto, who was always full of bushido bravery, had his facial muscles twitching constantly.

The other MPs opened their mouths, wanting to speak, and kept making eye contact, but were unable to express themselves.

Even the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives covered their faces, and their expressions of dying made it hard to understand what they meant.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Don’t you idiots know what it means that the Asset Disclosure Law is allowed to pass?

Without support from his allies, Kishida was completely confused.

At this time.

Koizumi said calmly: "Mr. Kishida, you can't even tell the difference between average life expectancy and average life expectancy!"

Nani?

Kishida was stunned immediately.

Because I graduated from a vocational secondary school of construction thirty years ago, and have been working in the construction province ever since.

Every profession has its own expertise. If he had to explain it, he would have seen the words "average life expectancy" in the newspaper.

But Kishida really doesn’t know the difference between the two!

Koizumi was well aware of this guy's cultural level, and said with a mocking expression: "Kishida-kun, you are not like some idiots who think that the average life expectancy of ancient people was only 38 years old!"

"Have you ever considered that, given the economic and information transmission levels in ancient times, there were often wars and bandits that led to accidental deaths, so how could we count when each person died?"

"So in calculating age, the ancients always used the household registration system to understand how old each family was at the time, and used the average life expectancy, that is, the average age, to calculate the population and national strength."

"Because the problem of aging was not taken into account in ancient times, there was no way to calculate average life expectancy."

"The so-called life expectancy is the average age of the nation, including the average calculation method between newborns and centenarians."

"According to the current development of society, using a more reasonable calculation method, when the average age of a country's total population reaches 38 years old, it means that the aging situation of the country is already very serious. In the next ten years, one-fifth of the people will lose their ability to work."

"When a country's average life expectancy reaches 45 years, it means that the public burden rate may increase to more than 45 percent."

"Then do you still think this is alarmist? If the current situation continues, in at most 20 years, the national life expectancy will reach an average of 45 years. If the life expectancy reaches 80 years, do you know how many people will need pensions, how many people will need medical insurance, and how many people will lose their ability to work?"

"Calling you alarmist? How about as a human being?"

"During a discussion in the National Assembly, you actually used such rude words to insult people. Koizumi, you are so rude!"

"It's better to be rude than to violate the rules by accepting hospitality from a high-end club many times, Mr. Kuroiwa!"
