Chapter 223, Forced Childbirth
After listening to Li Fu's words, Tang Yunshan couldn't help frowning, the original seemingly simple issue of increasing the fertility rate now seems to have a huge relationship with all aspects of today's Chinese society, and it can be said that it is linked to all aspects and is the embodiment of the comprehensive problem of the entire society.
"Then I don't know if there is any good way to remedy or make up for it?"
Of course, Tang Yunshan also knew about the few points that Li Fu said, but he was also very helpless about this, because some things were already ingrained, and it was too difficult to change.
"There are only two things that can be done now, on the one hand, we will vigorously publicize the concept of more children and more blessings, and slowly change the concept of having fewer children and only having a good child, and at the same time enter in-depth reforms, especially the reform of the three areas of old-age care, medical care and education, so as to greatly reduce the burden on the people, so that everyone can afford to give birth and raise them."
"Of course, these policies need to be changed slowly over a long period of time, and they cannot have an immediate effect, but if we really want to achieve immediate results and make the population grow rapidly, we must learn from the forced implementation of family planning at the beginning, and now we must force childbirth."
Li Fu thought about it for a long time, and slowly put forward the proposal of forced childbirth.
"Forced birth?"
Tang Yunshan stood up all of a sudden.
"Yes, forced reproduction, if we don't carry out forced rebirth now, our population will be greatly reduced in the next few decades, and if we encounter the invasion of the Lorne civilization, what will we do to fight with them, in the future interstellar era, the population will naturally be as much as possible, and the current situation is almost exactly the same as when family planning was enforced."
Li Fu nodded and expressed his worries.
"Forced birth!"
Tang Yunshan frowned and walked around the courtyard, this matter is really too important, because this is a major policy related to the fate of the country, even he can't make a decision, and he must go through the highest congress to make a decision.
"You go back first, I need to think about this matter, and I also need to get everyone's opinions."
After a long time, Tang Yunshan stopped, but he still hesitated, although he has a lot of influence on national affairs, but now it is not a word, everything needs to be democratically decided.
After Li Fu left, Tang Yunshan quickly summoned other important leaders to discuss Li Fu's proposal, and at the same time listened to the opinions of all sides.
From the leaders of the national temple to the ordinary people, the opposition to forced childbirth was very loud, which once made Tang Yunshan want to give up this idea, but the data fed back from all sides kept telling Tang Yunshan that it was time to make changes that he had reached the edge of the abyss and had to make changes.
In 2025, the number of new births per month will decrease significantly compared with last year, the aging population will be more serious, the desire of young people to have children is too low, and the population structure will continue to deteriorate.
On the other hand, the fact that the Lorne civilization may invade the solar system at any time hangs above his head like a sword of Damocles, which may fall at any time; The continuous development of the Chinese space field is also constantly in need of more and better young people to join, but now, the number of fresh college students has begun to decrease, and everything is showing that it must be changed.
"Today we are standing at a crossroads, if we don't stand up and show perseverance to make decisions, but to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and get by, then it will be more difficult to change our country and nation in the future, and we will be ashamed of the trust of the people of the whole country in us, and we will also become sinners of history and sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages!"
"Maybe we can't understand the policy we are going to implement now, maybe we will be scolded by countless people now, but history will prove the correctness of this decision now, which is infamous in the present era, but it is a great cause that will benefit the future generations."
At the Supreme Meeting, Tang Yunshan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he had already made up his mind to implement the compulsory birth policy, which of course required the consent of everyone.
At the scene of the meeting, everyone was constantly thinking, and when the final vote was held, the people who were still hesitant had changed their attitudes after listening to Tang Yunshan's words, they all knew the Lorne civilization, knew the alien civilization, and were more aware of the situation they were facing now, although they still had reservations about forced birth, but they also knew that they had to make up their minds to change.
On October 1, 2025, after more than a year of deliberation and controversy, the policy of encouraging childbirth and improving the quality of the population was introduced.
The core of the "Forced Birth" law is formulated around the core of rapidly increasing the population and improving the quality of the population, stipulating that young people who do not marry after the age of 25 need to pay more personal income tax, and since they are not willing to get married, then they need to pay taxes to let the state raise other children.
This tax is quite heavy, accounting for 10% of your monthly salary, and no matter how much you earn, as long as you are over 25 years old and not married, you must pay this tax, and you can not pay this tax until you get married and ascend to the throne.
Of course, don't think that you can get married and everything will be fine, the "Forced Childbirth" law has stricter regulations for the husband and wife after marriage, if the first child is not born within 2 years of marriage, the husband and wife have to pay an additional tax, this tax is the same as the proportion of overage and unmarried, no matter how much income, this tax must be paid.
If you have been married for more than 2 years and have not given birth to your first child, starting from the third year, this tax will rise by 10% per year, if you wait a few more years and do not have children, it means that most of your salary will be taxed so that the state can use it to raise other people's children, and the only purpose is to force you to get married early and have a baby early.
The law also stipulates that after giving birth to the first child, the second child must be born within 2 years, and in order to encourage childbirth, the hospital strictly prohibits caesarean section when delivering the baby, and the number of caesarean sections per day in each hospital is strictly limited, because if the caesarean section produces a child, the interval between the birth of a child is at least 3 years, so in order to improve the fertility rate, the caesarean section doctor can only be unemployed.
Maybe many people think that after giving birth to a second child, they can sit back and relax, that is wrong, having two children at least the most basic guarantee that the number of people will not decrease, and really to achieve an increase in the population, it is necessary to have three children and four children.
Therefore, the law also stipulates that after each couple has a second child, they must give birth to a third child within 2 years and a fourth child within 5 years.
At the same time, on the other hand, for couples who are willing to have more children, the law will reward them, one of the most important is to reduce personal income tax, as long as the husband and wife have a third child, the individual income tax of both husband and wife can be reduced by 20%, and the fourth child, the individual income tax of both husband and wife can be reduced by 50%.
If you give birth to a fifth child, the individual income tax of both husband and wife can be reduced or reduced, and the state will give a one-time reward of 100,000 Chinese dollars, if you give birth to the sixth Taiwan, the state will give a one-time reward of 200,000 Chinese dollars, and give birth to the seventh child, congratulations, not only can you get a reward of 400,000 Chinese dollars, but also go to the imperial capital to get Tang Yunshan to meet in person, and award the medal of glorious mother.
Of course, in addition to the legal mandate to have more children, the state is also to reduce the burden of raising children as much as possible from another aspect, and children can regularly receive milk powder, diapers, etc. from the government every month, which is considered to be the state to help raise them, and children's vaccines, illness treatment, etc. are all free.
In terms of education, from kindergarten to university, all education must not be charged in any form, and higher education is vigorously popularized, and 15 years of compulsory education are mandatory, and all people must complete higher education before they are allowed to enter society.
Carry out medical reform, implement free medical care for those under the age of 20, and no fees will be charged, and at the same time start the pilot work of free medical care for all, so as to demonstrate the future free medical care for all.
In terms of reemployment, women are protected, maternity leave is extended, and pregnant women can apply for maternity leave for up to 18 months from the sixth month of pregnancy, and no unit or individual may refuse to refuse for any reason, and pregnant women cannot be dismissed for any reason.
At the same time, it is also stipulated that the salary income during pregnancy cannot be lower than the average salary of the same department, and the increase of salary during pregnancy must be in line with the rest of the department.
Such a provision is undoubtedly very unfavorable for the pursuit of profits, and it is natural to find a way not to recruit women, and the law naturally thinks of it in this regard, and stipulates that the proportion of female employees in any company, unit, etc. cannot be less than 40%, if it does not meet the standard, the company will be levied an additional heavy tax, and serious will be directly shut down.
As soon as the law of "forced childbirth" was promulgated, the whole society was in an uproar, and even people around the world were shocked, and large-scale demonstrations took place here in every city, and countless women took to the streets to protest, believing that this was to deprive them of their personal freedom by the original reproductive machine.
Of course, many elderly people who have suffered from being an only child have expressed their support for this, believing that it is rare for the Chinese government to do a decent thing.
The team led by Tang Yunshan withstood the huge pressure, exerting pressure on the lower layers layer by layer, and the previous family planning department began to conduct statistics door-to-door, and became a bitter person, constantly persuading you to get married early, and have a child as soon as possible, the child is born and raised by the state, and the person who grows up is your own family.
For those families who don't want to have children, they have come up with the method of compulsory family planning in the first place, don't have children, right, and fine until you work hard to create a person.
There is no way, in the past, economic development was included in the assessment of official promotion, but now population growth is included in the assessment, whether you can be promoted depends on whether the population of your place has grown, how much has grown, and everyone naturally has to desperately give birth to children and increase the population.
