Chapter 918: One More Time (Finale)

Daming has experienced too much in this time and space, and it is impossible for Chen Xie to read it all at once. After looking at the catalogue and glancing at the points of interest, it was already dark. When I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying on an old rattan chair, and next to me was Wu Qi, who was watching the drama with a computer.

It's a brightly lit night outside the window, and you're hungry and calling for takeout? Chen Xie still decided to go out to eat and take a closer look at the city by the way. I really haven't looked too closely along the way before.

"The place we live in is now called Jiangning District. It's a bit far from the city center, good thing it's cheap rent. Wu Qi was very verbose, Chen Xie crooked his mouth, looking at the quiet street at night, there were few pedestrians. I couldn't help but wonder if I couldn't look around, and finally found a restaurant that was opening and went in.

It was a little late, it was almost nine o'clock, and there were not many people eating in the restaurant, so there were only two or three tables. The boss was a man in his forties, with a fat head and big ears. "Boss, I see that your place is not bad, why are there not many people eating?"

This little brother didn't know, did he see it, and walked along the road for a while, which is the branch campus of Nanjing University. My restaurant is usually a student business. It's time for the holiday, and business is naturally poor. ”

The boss is very talkative, Chen Xie has the heart to talk to him, and he keeps hooking him down. Speaking of rising, I felt in my pocket and found that I didn't bring a cigarette, and when I was about to buy it, the boss handed it over and said, "Smoke me, I thought you took your girlfriend and didn't smoke." ”

"Alas, Daming is not as good as before, and business is really not good. I'm pretty good, I have a student business to do. If you go another 500 meters, you won't see anyone walking down the street. ”

"Boss, Daming has a population of three billion. How could there be no one? Chen Xie asked puzzled, and the boss smiled: "Young man, are you from out of town?" A mouthful of Nanjing official dialect, he speaks better than me. I can understand that young people don't like to watch the news. Twenty years ago, I thought the same thing as you. The Ming Dynasty has a population of 3.3 billion. When the Ming Dynasty had the largest population, it would have been 3.8 billion 70 years ago. After the end of the Third World War, the population of Daming has been decreasing. Know why? ”

Chen Xie shook his head, the boss put on a position, and finally someone listened to him talk about these topics, full of energy, foaming at the mouth: "The population is aging, you know?" Chen Xie nodded. The boss smiled: "That's right, you young people, don't like to have children, no matter how much the state encourages it, the fertility rate can't go up." What about the old man, who is dying one after another, and now that the social welfare is so high, who wants to suffer that sin? ”

Chen Xie couldn't answer this topic. Because he didn't look at the relevant information, he could only smile and nod. Listen to the boss continue to talk: "You see, a child is born until he reaches adulthood at the age of eighteen, education is free, the state subsidizes 3,000 yuan a year, and the cost of medical treatment is much less. Living conditions are better. A man is noble, and does not want to bear the sin of having children. ”

At this time, Chen Xie reacted, and the current Da Ming is a bit of his original time and space Europe. It seems that although the timeline has changed, the general trend of historical development has not changed. Human beings with the improvement of the level of science and technology. Young people live in good conditions, and fewer and fewer young people are willing to have children early. There is no family planning in this time and space, and the population of this Ming Dynasty has also decreased from 3.8 billion 70 years ago to 3 billion now, which means that the population has been growing negatively.

"What's the scariest thing right now? Within the Ming Alliance, young people in these two places are reluctant to have children, both in the homeland and in the Americas. In India, Southeast Asia, Arabia and other places with poor conditions, the indigenous population has been growing. ”

Chen Xie didn't dare to ask why, that would be exposed. After the meal, the boss kept talking, and Chen Xie kept listening very carefully. After returning to his residence, Chen Xie turned on the computer again and searched for news from all sides to find out that the welfare policy of the Ming Alliance was different from place to place. Daming's welfare policy is divided into three systems, one is the appropriation system of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Finance, the other is the system of local financial allocation, and the other is the insurance system. Among them, the local funding system accounts for 30%, the national allocation is 30%, and the insurance is 40%. In other words, the level of local fiscal revenue determines the welfare of the local government.

There are many reasons why young people are reluctant to get married and have children, one thing is for sure, with the improvement of living standards, people's attitudes towards having children are different. The vast majority of people are not necessarily reluctant to have children, but because the cost of education is too high. At present, the compulsory education system of Daming is very perfect, why are you still reluctant to have children? This question seems to be viewed from another angle, that is, the so-called compulsory education, which is somewhat similar to the compulsory education in Europe and the United States in the original time and space.

The so-called quality education is actually used to fool ordinary people. In human society, elite education is fundamental. To put it bluntly, the starting point of elite education is high, and the location of quality education is low. Those who advocate quality education and happy education, if there are no interests behind them, they are all in trouble. Chen Xie's original time and space, didn't someone propose that the college entrance examination should take the road of comprehensive quality? To put it mildly, the result of doing this is to cut off the future of the children of the poor family. An outward manifestation of the solidification of interest groups. Similar to the nine-product zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it really succeeded, and people with bad backgrounds in the future will not talk about their careers, even if they want to go to a famous school, there will be fewer opportunities. After a long time, the competitiveness is getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, it is likely that such a thing as "scholars" will appear. This is definitely not alarmist, once a similar pattern emerges, it is not far from the next change of dynasty.

"That's really!" opened his eyes and looked at Wu Qi, who was still chasing the drama, Chen Xie couldn't cry or laugh. Now he is not the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and even when he looks twenty years old, at most he is a little whiter than before. is such a young man, you care about national affairs and have a ball, it is better to start from scratch.

"Wu Qi, what is my education?" Looking up and asking, Wu Qi, who was watching the drama, didn't raise his head: "Bachelor's degree from Nanjing University, rest assured, no one can find out." By the way, your hukou is also in Nanjing. I also hacked into the Prime Minister's computer and saw a motion to move the capital in his computer. ”

"What do you say? Moving the capital? Chen Xie shouted excitedly, and the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty had not moved.

"yes, the future. The pollution is too serious, with a population of 50 million in Beijing, and the pressure on the city's water resources is too great. In 1950, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was carried out, but the problem was not fundamentally solved. After decades of argumentation, a conclusion was finally reached, and the capital was moved to Nanjing. The treated Yangtze River system can effectively solve the problem of water resource pressure. ”

"Governance?" Chen Xie is 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 was cut off. "Yes, governance. After the end of the three wars, Chen Hao put forward a huge plan to clean up the environment. This plan was born thanks to the fact that he got the notebook you left behind. ”

"Notebook? Come to think of it, I remember that some of my notes were given to Ah Xi for safekeeping. ”

"Yes, it's the descendants of Ah Xi, strictly speaking, the descendants of a girl she adopted. While sorting out the things in the past, I found the notes you left behind, and then flew from the Americas to Jingshi and handed them to Chen Hao. After the end of World War III, the Ming Dynasty began a huge plan of environmental governance. Policies such as returning farmland to forests and closing mountains for afforestation were all introduced in the later period of Chen Hao's administration. Do you know how he got to Congress? Take out your notebook and hold it up in your hand to tell the congressman that this is the notebook you left behind, which mentions that the environment is a guarantee of sustainable economic development. ”

After a conversation, Chen Xie was directly stunned, he didn't expect that after he had been away for more than 300 years, a notebook could play such a huge role. This is not scientific!

"Of course, the most important thing is that the Daming Academy of Sciences has come up with 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 a career in office, in this timeline, back to the position of prime minister of the Ming Cabinet again, what do you think of this game?" ”

"Games?" Wu Qi glanced at it with disdain with a pair of big eyes, and paused for a while before saying, "It seems to be very interesting." ”

Three years have passed, the National Assembly has officially passed the bill to move the capital, and the Ming Empire Alliance will officially start the plan to move the capital to Nanjing.

Chen Xie, who received a doctorate in philosophy from Nanjing University, officially became a national civil servant with the first place in the country in the civil service examination. The first position is the deputy director of the sub-district office, which is a position characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. Other countries have this thing, but the Ming Dynasty has it, and it has been there for a long time.

After another three years, because of his outstanding grades and beautiful academic qualifications, Chen Xie was promoted to deputy head of Jiangning District. Don't think that Chen Xie's position is easy, in fact, after moving the capital, it is too difficult to be an official in Nanjing, more difficult than ascending to the sky. There are too many competitors, too strong. But Chen Xie opened the hanging, because of Wu Qi.

Oh, by the way, Wu Qi and Chen Xie officially received the certificate, this woman is like a normal woman, she can sleep, she can use and give birth to a baby (the ghost knows how she gave birth to a baby). But she is still an open-hanging existence, but this plug-in is just for Chen Xie. In order to defeat his political opponents, Wu Qi collected black materials from his opponents many times, exposed them on the Internet, and stinked his opponents. Because the level is too high, no one has ever suspected that Chen Xie did it.

After another five years, Chen Xie became the head of the district (county order), and at the age of 50, Chen Xie entered the cabinet and became the cabinet minister of the interior. He has become the only cabinet minister from the grassroots in the three hundred years of the Ming Cabinet, and has also become an inspirational benchmark for countless young people in the Ming Dynasty. At the age of sixty-five, Chen Xie became the prime minister again.
