Chapter 171: Still Not Working Hard Enough
"Congratulations!
After the excitement, the ministers immediately tidied up their clothes and congratulated Li Kang in unison.
"Hahaha... Rejoice and rejoice!hahaha... Everyone, please take a seat!" Li Kang couldn't help but be excited, and he would laugh out loud after saying less than two sentences, but over the years, the pressure on both internal and external aspects was too great, and the most important thing was the pressure from his own psychology, which made him worried, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
"This time Mrs. Palm is pregnant, and there is a successor to the king, I have avoided a turmoil in Huaxia, which is indeed gratifying!" After everyone sat down, Guan Zhong said what he thought on behalf of everyone, and everyone present nodded in unison, in the social system of the world, once the monarch has no heirs, it is not just a man who can't give birth to a son, but it will shake the country's foundation, and if you don't do it, the high-rise building will collapse in an instant, which is not a joke.
Therefore, Li Kang is under a lot of pressure, and the pressure on the ministers is not small, now it's okay, no matter whether Palm Lanzhi's belly is male or female, as long as it is proved that Li Kang can give birth, then it will be fine! As long as the woman is enough, are you afraid that she will not be able to give birth to a son?
And Li Kang, as the current generalissimo and the inevitable emperor in the future, will there be a shortage of women?
"Ahem..."Li Kang is also not easy to answer, this is really embarrassing to say, who let him not be able to fart for three years, and everyone is worried about it.
"Your Majesty, this is a great celebration for the whole world, and it happens to be a holiday... Do you want an amnesty?" asked Li Kui, the young secretary of Dali Temple.
Amnesty!
In feudal society, whenever the country wins a battle, the emperor ascends the throne, the emperor is in a good mood for his birthday, the emperor marries a wife, the emperor gives birth to a son, the prince is established, a meteor in the sky passes, an albino animal appears, and a certain plant grows crooked...... At these times, the emperor often gives amnesty to the world to show that he is happy with the people!
Li Kang's current situation is similar to "the emperor gave birth to a son", although he has not yet given birth, he is just pregnant, but the meaning expressed by this child is not just as simple as Li Kang's first child, it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that there is amnesty.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates think that they should be amnesty, and they should order the world to protect the hearts of the people!" Liu Hui, the chief minister of culture and education, agreed.
Li Kang was a little moved, but he still frowned and said, "Will it be a little too much?"
"However, it's not at all!" Li Bing, the chief of construction, immediately relieved, "Since the establishment of Huaxia, the monarch has never been amnesty, and it used to be because he couldn't find a reason - the faces of the military immediately darkened, and the forest native wolf who fought before the feeling is not counted, it's too racist—now that the monarch is about to welcome his first child, my Chinese inheritance is hopeful, which is an excellent reason... Presumably, the people will be very happy!"
[Nonsense! Amnesty is equal to a tax cut, of course they are happy!]
Finance Minister Sang Hongyang said unhappily, but if he is unhappy, Li Kang has already moved, and he will not speak out against it.
As an old bureaucrat with old qualifications, as an old bureaucrat who knows his tragic fate in history, Sang Hongyang deeply knows that political correctness is the only law that will last forever, and the amnesty is a thing that is not happy except for the Ministry of Finance, and the whole of China is happy, especially the reason for this amnesty is that the queen of the king wants to share his joy with the whole people, which belongs to political correctness, who opposes who is stupid!
But if you don't object, it doesn't mean that you can't put forward opinions, just listen to Sang Hongyang said: "Your Majesty, the amnesty is really necessary, but the content of this amnesty, we still have to discuss it, what kind of charter should be made?"
"Well, Sang Qing is reasonable!" Li Kang also thinks that it is necessary to discuss it carefully, otherwise the amnesty will continue, the people will be happy, but the government will be bankrupt, then it will be funny!
"Then this matter, you and Li Qing of Dali Temple will work together to make a set of plans and hand them over to me... Well, I'm afraid it's too late for Labor Day, the Dragon Boat Festival..."Li Kang always felt that the Dragon Boat Festival commemorated the day when Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, because his wife was pregnant, and it was a little awkward to have an amnesty for the world.
Observing words and emotions is a necessary skill for the courtiers, as soon as they saw Li Kang's appearance, everyone didn't understand Li Kang's thoughts, Li Kui immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty feels that the content of this amnesty cannot be decided hastily, in case something goes wrong, but you do bad things with good intentions, when the time comes, not only will the court lose its prestige, but your lord's face will also be damaged, and your subordinates will be unable to escape the blame for their deaths, so Your Majesty begs your Majesty to be more lenient!"
"Your Majesty means the same!" Sang Hongyang said, "Your Majesty, it will be Mother's Day in ten days!"
Li Kang's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes! Mother's Day is the most suitable day! Ashamed, ashamed, he forgot Mother's Day again!
"Then it's decided! It's set on Mother's Day!" Li Kang finally set the date, "Guan Qing?"
"Your Majesty has no opinion!" Guan Zhong said.
"That's good! This matter is over!" Li Kang put away his smile, laughed for so long, his emotions finally calmed down, and said seriously, "Now we officially start today's meeting." ”
"First of all, each department will report on the work of the previous month... Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"No!" Guan Zhong stood up, saluted Li Kang, and looked around again, then said slowly: "In April, with the help of colleagues in the Ministry of Health, we got the accurate number of newborns, a total of 468 newborns were born in 30 towns in five counties of Huaxia, more than a dozen fewer than in March, of which the ratio of male and female babies is close to 1 to 1. Bad customs such as abandoning female babies have become tricks, and man-made premature deaths no longer exist, as long as the babies themselves are okay and nutrition and medical care keep up, the survival rate is still very high. ”
Li Kang just listened and didn't interject.
Here to say, China currently has a population of 120,000 people, young and strong account for nearly seventy percent of them, that is to say, to remove the old and weak, there can be more than 80,000 young and strong, and men account for nearly seventy percent, about 60,000 people, these are able to give birth, although Chinese women are scarce, but there is no shortage of indigenous women, the extra 40,000 singles, one person and one wife is still very easy, those indigenous women are eager to marry them, so that their families can live a good life, so that Chinese men in the new world are all diamond kings and fifth, as long as you are willing to be a seeder, as long as you can afford it, the blessing of Qi people is just the starting point。
In this case, the newborn is only about 500 per month, and it is less than 6,000 a year, which is indeed a bit low, and Huaxia does not have family planning, but also encourages childbirth, and that set of incentives is much brighter than Yue Wang Goujian!
What does this mean?
[It shows that the majority of male compatriots are still not working hard enough!] Li Kang thought secretly. [.]
