Chapter 918 Come Again (Finale) The Ming Dynasty has experienced too much in this time and space, and it is impossible for Chen Xie to read it all at once. After casually reading the catalog and glancing at the highlights of interest, it was already dark. I opened my eyes and saw myself lying on an old wicker chair, next to Wu Qi who was watching a drama on the computer. There is a brightly lit night outside the window. Are you hungry? Do you want to call for takeout? Chen Xie decided to go out to eat and take a closer look at the city. Along the way before, I really didn¡¯t look at it too carefully. "The place we live in is now called Jiangning District. It's a bit far from the city center, but fortunately the rent is cheap." Wu Qi was very wordy, and Chen Xie twisted his mouth, looking at the quiet streets at night, with few pedestrians. I couldn't help but wonder, but after searching around, I finally found a restaurant that was opening and went in. I came out a little late, it was almost nine o'clock, and there were not many people eating in the restaurant, only two or three tables. The boss is a man in his forties, with a fat head and big ears. "Boss, I think your place is pretty good. Why aren't there many people eating there?" "This guy doesn't know something. Did you see it? Just walk a little further along the road and you'll find the branch campus of Nanjing University. This is my hotel. , I usually do business with students. Now that I¡¯m on vacation, business is naturally slow.¡± The boss was very talkative, and Chen Xie kept talking to him if he wanted to. Speaking of excitement, I touched my pocket and found that I didn't bring any cigarettes. When I was about to buy one, the boss handed me one and said, "Smoking mine, I thought you brought your girlfriend and didn't smoke." "Alas, Daming is not as good as before. , Business is really hard. I think it¡¯s pretty good, but if you go five hundred meters further, you won¡¯t see anyone walking on the street.¡± ¡°Boss, Daming has a population of three. One billion. How could there be no one?" Chen Xie asked in confusion, and the boss smiled: "Young man, you are from out of town, right? You speak Nanjing Mandarin better than me. I don't like this. I understand. Twenty years ago, I had the same idea as you. The Ming Dynasty had a population of 3.3 billion. The population of the Ming Dynasty was 3.8 billion at its peak seventy years ago. After the end of the world war, the population of Ming Dynasty has been decreasing. "Do you know why?" Chen Xie shook his head, and the boss stood up. Finally, someone listened to him talking about these topics, and he was full of energy. Foaming at the mouth: "The population is aging, you know?" Chen Xie nodded, and the boss smiled: "That's right. You young people don't like to have children. No matter how much the country encourages, the fertility rate will not increase. Old people. Well, people are dying one after another. With current social welfare being so high, who wants to suffer that?" Chen Xie couldn't handle this topic. Because he didn't read the relevant information, he could only smile and nod, and listened to the boss continue: "Look. After a child is born, until he becomes an adult at the age of 18, education is free, the state subsidizes 3,000 yuan per year, and he spends less money on medical treatment. A lot. When living conditions are better, people are more noble and don¡¯t want to suffer the burden of raising children.¡± Now Chen Xie realized that the current Ming Dynasty was a bit like his original time and space in Europe. It seems that the timeline has changed though. But the general trend of historical development has not changed. With the improvement of human science and technology, young people's living conditions are favorable. Fewer and fewer young people are willing to have children early. There was no family planning in this time and space, and the population of the Ming Dynasty also increased from 3.8 billion seventy years ago. It has been reduced to the current three billion, which means that the population has been experiencing negative growth. "What is the scariest thing now? Within the Ming Alliance, young people in mainland China and the Americas, where conditions are good, are unwilling to have children. In India, Southeast Asia, Arabia and other places where conditions are poor, the population of aborigines has been declining. Growth." Chen Xie didn't dare to ask why, otherwise the secret would be revealed. After finishing the meal, the boss kept talking and Chen Xie listened carefully. After returning to his residence, Chen Xie turned on his computer again and searched for various information before finding out that the Ming Alliance's welfare policies differed from place to place. Ming Dynasty's welfare policy is divided into three systems, one is the allocation system of the cabinet and the Ministry of Finance, the other is the system of local financial allocation, and the third is the insurance system. Among them, the local appropriation system accounts for 30%, the state appropriation 30%, and insurance 40%. In other words, the level of local fiscal revenue determines local welfare. There are many reasons why young people are unwilling to get married and have children. One thing is certain that with the improvement of living standards, people¡¯s attitudes towards having children are different. The vast majority of people may not be willing to have children, but because the cost of education is too high. At present, the compulsory education system in Ming Dynasty is very complete, why are they still unwilling to have children? It seems that this issue can be viewed from another angle, that is, the so-called compulsory education, which is somewhat similar to the compulsory education in Europe and America in the original time and space. The so-called quality education is actually used to fool ordinary people. Elite education is the foundation of human society. To put it bluntly, elite education starts from a high level.?Location of quality education is low. Those who advocate quality education and happy education are in trouble if there are no interests behind them. In Chen Xie's original time and space, didn't someone propose that the college entrance examination should take the path of comprehensive quality? To put it bluntly, the result of doing this is to ruin the future of the poor family. An external manifestation of the solidification of interest groups. Similar to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, if it really succeeds, in the future, people with a bad background will have very few opportunities even if they want to go to a prestigious school, let alone an official career. As time goes by, the competitiveness will become smaller and smaller, and in the end there is likely to be something like a "gentry". This is definitely not alarmist. Once a similar pattern emerges, the next change of dynasty will not be far away. "This is true!" Opening his eyes and looking at Wu Qi who was still following the drama, Chen Xie couldn't laugh or cry. Now he is no longer the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. He even looks like he did when he was twenty years old. At most, he is a bit paler than before. For such a young man, your balls are of no use in caring about national affairs. You might as well start over from scratch. "Wu Qi, what degree do I have?" He raised his head and asked. Wu Qi, who was watching a drama, didn't even look up: "Bachelor's degree from Nanjing University. Don't worry, no one can find out. By the way, your household registration is also in Nanjing. I also hacked into the computer of the Prime Minister and saw a motion to move the capital. " "What did you say? Move the capital?" Chen Xie shouted excitedly. The capital of the Ming Dynasty has not moved. "Yes, there is a future. The pollution is too serious. The capital has a population of 50 million, and the pressure on urban water resources is too great. In 1950, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was launched, but the problem was not fundamentally solved. After decades of demonstration , and finally came to the conclusion that moving the capital to Nanjing can effectively solve the problem of water resource pressure. "Government?" Chen Xie was confused again, what kind of governance method? In the original time and space, the water of the Yangtze River was yellow, and the Yellow River stopped flowing. "Yes, governance. After the end of the Third World War, Chen Hao proposed a huge plan for environmental governance. The birth of this plan was due to him getting the notebook you left." "Notebook? Let me think about it, I remember that some of my notes were given to Axi for safekeeping. "Yes, they are the descendants of Axi. Strictly speaking, they are the descendants of a girl she adopted. I found you when I was sorting out her past things. The notes left behind were then flown to the capital from the Americas and handed over to Chen Hao. After the end of the Third World War, the Ming Dynasty began a huge plan for environmental management, including returning farmland to forest and closing mountains to cultivate forests. These policies were all introduced in the later years of Chen Hao's administration. Do you know how he talked to Congress? He took out your notebook, held it up in his hand, and told the members of Congress that this is the notebook you left behind, and it mentioned that the environment is the guarantee of sustainable economic development. , Chen Xie was stunned. He didn't expect that a notebook could play such a huge role after he left for more than three hundred years. This is unscientific! "Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Academy of Sciences has produced a series of scientific research data to prove these views." "It's okay, it's okay." Chen Xie patted his chest and said, "I decided to go to graduate school and then embark on an official career. In this timeline, I once again returned to the position of Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of this game?" "Game?" Wu Qi had a pair of big shoes. He glanced at it with disdain and paused for a long time before saying: "It seems very interesting." Three years later, Congress has officially passed the capital relocation bill, and the Ming Empire Alliance will officially launch a plan to move the capital to Nanjing. Chen Xie, who received a doctorate in philosophy from Nanjing University, ranked first in the country in the civil service examination and officially became a national civil servant. The first position is the deputy director of the subdistrict office, which is a position unique to Ming Dynasty. No other country has this thing, but Ming Dynasty has it, very early on. Three more years later, due to his excellent grades and academic qualifications, Chen Xie was promoted to deputy district chief of Jiangning District. Don't think that Chen Xie's position came easily. In fact, after the capital was moved, it was too difficult to be an official in Nanjing. It was even harder than climbing to the sky. There are too many competitors and they are too powerful. But Chen Xie opened up because of Wu Qi. Oh, by the way, Wu Qi and Chen Xie officially received their certificates. This woman is just like a normal woman, able to sleep, function and give birth to a baby (who knows how she gave birth to a baby). But she is still a cheat, but this cheat only serves Chen Xie. In order to defeat his political opponents, Wu Qi repeatedly collected dirty information about his opponents and exposed them on the Internet, thereby discrediting his opponents. Because the level was so high, no one ever suspected that it was Chen Xie who did it. Five years later, Chen Xie became the district chief (county magistrate). At the age of fifty, Chen Xie entered the cabinet and became the cabinet minister of the interior. He became the only cabinet minister with a grassroots background in the Ming Dynasty's cabinet in three hundred years, and also became an inspirational benchmark for countless young people in the Ming Dynasty. At the age of sixty-five, Chen Xie became Prime Minister again. (Final ending) (To be continued.)
