Chapter 549 - Family Planning (2)

Wei Minsheng, who came back to his senses after a while, looked at the puzzled eyes cast by the members of the Ministry of State-owned Assets, shook his head, and said: "There was once such a country, and it took less than 30 years to develop the total population of the entire country from less than 500 million to 1 billion, accounting for one-fifth of the entire world's population.

Moreover, these increased populations were not plundered from the surrounding countries, but were all born by their efforts.

The growing population is consuming a lot of the country's resources, setting off a wave of material shortages in different fields.

As I said earlier, it is impossible for the population of a region to grow indefinitely, because it is limited by the amount of freshwater available.

However, this kind of thing has not attracted enough attention, so when the per capita freshwater possession is low to a certain level, the environment's own purification capacity can no longer treat the wastewater produced by these people every day, causing serious environmental degradation and further compressing everyone's living space.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of various living materials, and on the other hand, the continuous deterioration of the environment has brought a serious negative impact on the whole country, and even in some places, there have been armed struggles for limited resources.

Two neighboring villages, or even two families next to each other, can fight over the distribution of resources.

In the process of competing for resources, those families with a large number of children, especially those with a large number of sons, have become the beneficiaries of this process.

Because they have more strong labor, they contribute more to the acquisition of resources, so the harvest should also be more.

Everyone saw the benefits of having more sons, so they were even more stimulated to have sons.

Because as long as your family has more strong labor, you will one day enjoy such benefits, and you are not afraid of facing anyone's oppression.

However, having children is not something that can be controlled by themselves, and this concept of 'more children and more blessings' has led to a greater trend of population growth.

If left unchecked, within 20 years, all the resources of the country will not be able to cope with the needs of such a large population, which will create serious social problems.

In order to obtain more resources, stealing and robbing are considered trivial matters, and the state is more worried that there may be organized plundering of populations between the north and the south or in different geographical environments, which will be the beginning of troubled times.

Therefore, at the suggestion of some people, they implemented a policy of controlling the birth of the population, which is what Wu Guangliang called 'family planning'. ”

After listening to Wei Minsheng's explanation, the people of the Ministry of State-owned Assets and Assets were shocked into a cold sweat, a huge empire with a population of one billion people would also be threatened by this kind of internal threat.

Li Yan swallowed his saliva and said, "With such a large population, why don't you expand the borders to more places?" ”

Wei Minsheng said: "Because in that world, some countries have reached a level where they can easily destroy a city and wipe out millions of people in an instant, and no country dares to start a war lightly."

There may be some minor friction on the border, but it is absolutely impossible to expand the territory that you are talking about, because all the land in the world has been divided up by different countries.

If you want to expand your territory, you can only start a war to destroy the country.

But once such a war starts, the outcome is not something that any country can afford.

Because the use of some weapons can already have an impact on the environment and resources of the world, which no country will allow.

Any country that starts a war of expansion will be considered by all countries to be detrimental to their interests, and will use economic, military or other forms of joint sanctions.

Therefore, such a war can never be a war between only two countries, but a 'world war' that is likely to trigger the participation of all countries and is enough to kill hundreds of millions of people.

In such a situation, it is no longer possible to plunder wealth and resources from other countries around it, and the only way to do it is to find a way from within.

They put forward the method of 'late marriage, late childbearing, fewer births, and eugenics, so as to control the population in a planned way', which is the content of 'family planning'. ”

Yang Yong asked puzzledly: "They want to control the population, does this late marriage and late childbearing have anything to do with the control of the population?" ”

Wu Guangliang said: "This has a lot to do with it, if we look at the current childbearing age in Huaxia, most of them can give birth at the age of fifteen or sixteen."

In this way, it is easy to achieve four generations in the same house in sixty years.

Even according to the standard of 2.1 children per couple that we discussed earlier, and no other people join, in 60 years, the population of our Huaxia Kingdom will reach more than 6 million.

And if the age of childbearing is raised to 20 years, only three generations can be in the same house in 60 years.

In other words, we only need to raise the childbearing age by five years, and in 60 years, we can have one less generation, that is, we can have more than one million fewer children.

You say that late marriage and late childbearing have little to do with controlling the population. ”

Wei Minsheng looked at Wu Guangliang and said, "I just want to know, how will you solve the '421' problem that may arise in the future?" ”

"The '421' problem?"

Several people from the Ministry of State-owned Assets and Assets Management felt as if they were crazy, because they couldn't understand what His Excellency the President and Chairman Na Wu were talking about.

Now it was Wu Guangliang's turn to popularize science for everyone, and he organized the language and said: "Because the demographic situation in that country is extremely serious, they have formulated a strict family planning policy, stipulating that a couple can only have one child.

Once someone violates this policy, he will be sanctioned through various social management methods, fines are the simplest means of punishment, and those who have no money can even confiscate your family's food and livestock, and those who have a job may even give you a job.

In short, the country has exhausted countless means to finally control the momentum of the crazy increase in the number of people.

In the more than 30 years since the implementation of this policy, the population of the entire country has only increased by 300 million, which is equivalent to a direct reduction of 400 million births, and has achieved very obvious results.

However, such draconian policies have resulted in a large number of families with only one child for both generations.

In such a family, there are two couples belonging to the second generation, and their parents are two each, so that the population of the first generation is four, and they have only one child.

In this way, in such a family, there are four people in the first generation, two in the second generation, and only one in the third generation.

This is the so-called '421' family. 2k reading network
