Chapter 8: The Belle Epoque
Times are so beautiful, but life is so hard.
In all Chinese countries, the laws are mostly the same, and there are not many differences.
Polygamy is prevalent in law in all Chinese countries. This law was written into the constitution 300 years ago, in order to expand the number of children and rapidly expand the number of people.
In that year, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a turmoil among the displaced people, the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, various natural disasters, and the population was less than 20 million.
Although in that era, that traverser appeared, reversed the fortunes of China in one fell swoop, and created the Chinese Empire.
It's just that the traverser is not omnipotent, and his great exploits are based on the process of war and chaos and reduction again and again.
At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to expand the number of people, but also to spread the Chinese civilization and spread the world, the monogamy and polygamy system was abolished, and it became polygamy.
At that time, the punishment for infant drowning was extremely severe.
This law continues to this day. A few decades ago, it was attacked by some feminists who wanted to repeal this law.
It's a pity that it was blocked by a large number of nobles and parliamentarians, and it didn't succeed.
One of the most important is monogamy, which may lead to a decline in the birth rate of babies, slow population growth, and further aging, which is not conducive to confronting the European Union and the American Union.
In short, in Zhuhua countries, as long as there is money, as long as both parties agree, they can live happily and happily.
Of course, the birth rate of babies in Zhuhua countries is still on a downward trend, and many young people marry late or even do not marry, and even if they do, they do not have children.
This has led countries to introduce various policies to encourage childbearing, but unfortunately the effect has not been ideal.
Many young people have difficulty finding employment, have a stressful life, and simply have no time or mood to raise children.
In Zhuhua countries, there is a complete welfare system, and many people can apply for the minimum living allowance under the minimum living standard. Living in this day and age, you don't have to worry about starving.
It's a pity that many people would rather live a hard life than receive relief, just because once they receive it, they will be restricted in many ways and will be blacklisted.
As for the countries of China, their territory accounts for 45 percent of the world's territory, and their GDP accounts for 65 percent of the world's total, which is an overwhelming advantage, and only by joining hands can the US Alliance and the EU maintain their independence and not be bullied.
In this era, everyone is proud of admiring China and flattering China, and everyone in the world is proud of speaking fluent Chinese and being able to write first-class calligraphy.
The Chinese people travel all over the world and have various privileges.
The countries of Zhuhua are always educating the barbarians, trying to make them move towards civilization and get rid of the situation of two-legged beasts. It's a pity that some European barbarians don't know what to do and what is wrong, and they have been arrogantly refusing, and a few decades ago, they even started an anti-Chinese movement.
This provoked the frustration, and the countries of Zhuhua immediately began an economic blockade, which lasted for 50 years, until a great leader began political reform, and the blockade was relaxed.
English, French, Russian, Spanish, etc., are just minor languages.
With the exception of a small number of foreign language majors, very few people study.
"It's really a beautiful era, you can pick up girls to your heart's content, marry as many as you want, and there are no restrictions at all in the law; You don't need to learn English, you can speak fluent Chinese and you can travel the world; As long as you have yellow skin and black eyes, you can walk the world, sign a passport for free, and travel the world for free......"
The more he came into contact with this society, the more Li Qing sighed.
This era is so beautiful.
It's a pity that there is no money in the pocket, and if there is no money, there is no status, and without status, it is difficult to enjoy various benefits.
Now even if he has a sister and wants to marry him, he has no money and can't support him; Even if you get married, you don't dare to have children, just because you are worried that you won't be able to raise them.
Today's prices are very high, and they are living tightly, barely making ends meet; If you spend too much, you may have a deficit again.
Now, the countries of Zhuhua have just come out of the economic crisis, which can be described as a serious loss of vitality, and there is no good profit, and employment is even more difficult. And think about it, his major, Li Qing is smiling bitterly, the major is not right, there is no hope of job hunting, and he can only code words at home.
originally wanted to rely on the advantages of his previous life, relying on classic masterpieces one by one, to cheat money and spend.
It's a pity, the water and soil are not adapted, not grounded,
Thinking back to the three months of life since the crossing, Li Qing was depressed.
He is a traverser, but he has no luck as a traverser, and he lives without doing anything, staining the name of the traverser in vain.
Blame, the first traverser, exhausted the luck of heaven and earth; As a result, he, a traverser, was tragic.
"The most tragic thing in the world is to travel to the world after the transformation of the traverser!"
Li Qing sighed, feeling whimper.
It seems that he is not in a good mood, and Li Qing's mood is gone, just sitting on the bench in the park, sighing, looking at the grass and trees in the distance, stunned like a fool.
"Li Qing, is that you?"
At this moment, a voice came, it was a man's voice.
Li Qing looked up and saw a man and a woman, who were a couple.
The man's name is Lin Bai, and the woman's name is Bai Xue, both of whom are his classmates. In college, they were a couple, and now they are like glue.
"It's you!"
Li Qing smiled. When life is hard, you must learn to smile, smile more, life is beautiful.
"You still haven't changed at all." Lin Baidao.
As they spoke, the three classmates began to talk to each other, talking about their life after graduation.
"That, you broke up with Xu Qian?" Lin Bai hesitated, but still asked.
"Yes. It's been a while. Li Qing said calmly, "Good and good dispersion, that's how it was!" ”
"Have you found a job lately?"
Bai Xue asked.
"Nope." Li Qing said with a smile, "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong industry." After graduating, I realized that the major I chose was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late...... I'm writing novels now, and I'm ...... the streets."
"Not necessarily!" Bai Xue smiled, "Maybe, you will become a great writer in the future." You have to remember to sign it then! ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Li Qingdao.
Bai Xue is a cheerful woman, and she picked out some interesting things from the past and talked about them, and several people didn't feel dull.
"Recently, I heard that Xu Qian seems to have climbed into a relationship and starred in a martial arts drama of female pig's feet!" Lin Bai suddenly said, "It seems that she is going to develop and become a big star!" ”
"That woman can do a lot of things, but I can't compare!" Bai Xue said, "Actually, it's okay to divide it, this woman is not worthy of you!" ”
"That's right, Xu Qian is so beautiful and has a good temperament, she will definitely be popular in the future, such a man, ordinary people really don't deserve it!" Lin Bai said, "Such a woman is born to marry into a wealthy family and be a canary for the rich!" ”
