Chapter Eighty-Three: Multiple Births and Fertility [Thanks to A' ̈ Jian H for the Reward]
In order to improve work efficiency, Li Quan exchanged hundreds of small electric cars from the system, all of which are suitable for driving in the complex environment of the palace, and now these cars are the ministers' buses, but they can only be used in the Daming Palace.
If he wasn't afraid of trouble, he would have wanted to exchange the flying car directly, that would be the real black technology.
However, when Nuvoton develops further, it will not be too long to come to the interview with a black technology like a flying car.
"Minister Zhou Yu saw His Majesty, I don't know what His Majesty Xuanchen came to order. Zhou Yu said.
Only then did Li Quan raise his head, smile slightly, and said, "Zhou Shangshu sat down and spoke." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Li Quan watched Zhou Yu sit still, and said, "I came to you this time to discuss with you in person about your suggestions on how to have more children and better children, and you can tell me in detail about these suggestions." ”
Li Quan is not an overactive move, the new Tang Dynasty ministers are accustomed to writing in classical Chinese, although later reforms, requiring the unification of vernacular in the future, but it is not all white, some still have the shadow of classical Chinese, and Li Quan's own level of classical Chinese is indescribable.
This is a problem of dropping the book bag, and it can only be cured slowly.
"Back to Your Majesty, since the last time you asked me to go back and think about ways to increase the population of our country, the minister visited the three counties of Chang'an Island during this time to inspect the specific situation, and also discussed with the adults in other departments, so that this plan was born. ”
"Roughly speaking, it is divided into two parts, multiple births and eugenics. ”
"The traditional concept of our New Tang Dynasty people is to have more children and more blessings, everyone is still willing to have more children, but having too many children will increase the burden on the family, although there is no problem in feeding, but there are more children, and the educational resources are definitely not enough, after all, the income of a single family is limited. ”
Li Quan can understand this, after all, Huaguo was like this before, and Xintang can be said to be in the same vein as Huaguo.
"There are also people who are very stubborn in their patriarchal thinking, boys are good to say, girls are poor, and when they couldn't afford to raise them before, they would even give them to other families, although now they are a little better, but the problem is still serious. ”
Now it's better, and that's because of Queen Zhang Yan's charity fund, she has established three orphanages across the country, one in each county.
Honglu County does not, because there are very few locals there, and now it is developing rapidly, everyone's living standard is not bad, there is basically no orphan, and the vast majority of others are immigrants or young adults in the past on Chang'an Island.
"The most serious problems are difficult births and infant deaths. ”
When Li Quan heard this, he frowned, he had ignored this problem before, the ancients said that a woman giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and in modern times, with caesarean section and advanced medical conditions, it is much better.
It seems that there are still a lot of problems in Nuvoton, and it needs to be sorted out slowly.
"Having more children is nothing more than encouraging people to have more children, continuing to promote the concept of having more children and more blessings, so that everyone can have children voluntarily, and at the same time improve the survival rate of newborns and women. ”
"So the minister's proposal is to reward those families with many children, reward heroic mothers, and let our government bear the cost of those newborns, and at the same time build a modern obstetrics and gynecology hospital on Chang'an Island, and introduce advanced medical equipment and medicines. ”
Li Quan thought about it and made sense, but the problems of the hospital should be adjusted slightly, with the emergence of the black technology of traditional Chinese medicine in his plan one by one, the vast majority of diseases will slowly disappear, and only a large tertiary hospital under construction in Honglu County will be enough to deal with short-term problems.
"Aiqing's suggestion is good, the hospital problem, you take the lead in negotiating with the Tai Hospital, respectively, in the three counties of Chang'an Island to establish three modern obstetrics and gynecology hospitals, and stipulate that pregnant women must go to the hospital half a month before the expected date of delivery, and wait for the child to be full of months before taking the child home together, and register each child, all expenses from the inside. ”
Li Quan's original intention was very simple, to ensure the safety and health of the pregnant woman in case she could give birth again in the future, and also to ensure the safety of the child, and at the same time, the child was registered, so there was no such thing as an orphan.
The only bad thing about this is that it costs money, but what he has is money, and the money will only increase in the future, what he lacks is time, population, and prestige that will never be enough to spend.
Another bad thing is that I don't know if those feminists in Europe will march again, saying that he uses women as production tools, but it doesn't matter, the state system of the New Tang Dynasty is destined to become a thorn in the side of those people.
"Your Majesty is more thoughtful. Zhou Yu casually patted a sycophant, but Li Quan still enjoyed it and didn't refute it.
"You go on to talk about eugenics. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"In terms of excellent education, in fact, we have done a good job in New Arts, and the illiteracy rate of our people is definitely one of the lowest in the world. ”
"You must know that it is easy to have children, it is difficult to raise children, and it is even more difficult to educate children well, if it is like before, there are only three or four children in each family, it is good to say, if we wait for the implementation of the multi-child preferential education plan, I believe that there will be more than ten children in the family will not be in a minority, and then family education and school education will be a big problem. ”
"Family education, parental love is indispensable, otherwise it will affect the child's character, but if there are more children, parents must also have limited energy, and there are more children, and the school's educational resources are definitely not enough in the current state. ”
"Therefore, the minister's suggestion is to establish a miniature nursery in each family under the sponsorship of the state, and now almost all the people of the New Tang Dynasty are small manor patterns, I believe it is easy to do this, as for the nursery to be managed by the women in the family, and guide the parents to accompany the children at least one day a week, so as to cultivate the children's character from an early age until they are 6 years old. ”
Then more than one private school was established in each community, and children who reached the age of 6 were forced to enter a private school to study, not only to develop their intelligence with popular science knowledge, but also to have Chinese traditional knowledge to guide and establish their correct outlook on life and loyalty and patriotism until they were 8 years old. ”
"In every county, we must establish at least one full-time school for elementary and junior high schools like the outside world, and make it mandatory for boys who have reached the age of 8 to go to school and complete these 12 years of school, because our New Tang Dynasty population is small, in order to reduce the burden on the people, this part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees can also be waived. ”
Li Quan frowned when he heard this, and asked, "You just said that the boy who reached the age of 8, what about the girl?"
