Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 632 Bu'an's Breakfast

In the Governor's Mansion of North America, Bu An was still wearing a shirt with an open collar button, and received a piece of information from his secretary.

"The New England Republic? The name is really not creative at all." Bu An put down the information, sat back at his dining table, and ate his breakfast very calmly.

As the governor of North America in the Ming Dynasty, the land under his command is even larger than the entire land area of ​​Europe, but Bu'an's personal life is no different from that of ordinary people.His breakfast is nothing more than a bowl of soy milk, three-color side dishes, two eggs, a deep-fried dough stick and a pie.

When he was young, he had a big appetite. When he was an escort, he was always able to eat more when he had more food, because they always had to travel and fight.After becoming a colonial official of the Ming Dynasty, although he didn't have the days of wandering around, Bu'an never got used to a luxurious life.

The breakfast in the Governor's Mansion is generally very noisy, because the Governor's Mansion has a large population.After Bu An settled down, he married a wife, and later he added three de facto wives.It's just that Daming doesn't recognize the status of a concubine now, but it will protect de facto marriages to a certain extent, especially the status of "children born out of wedlock".This is also a point of criticism from a large number of people with equal rights, because even the emperor has only one queen and has never married a new concubine, but as a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, Bu An has both wives and concubines.However, in theory, de facto marriages may also have multiple de facto husbands for one wife.

When Bai Mingxiu was dealing with civil law matters, he felt that there was no one-step legal monogamy operation in Daming, so he left this small loophole.But the real situation is that as women enter the workplace and the awareness of social equality rises, such things as concubines have actually decreased a lot.

And Bai Mingxiu has a truth in private that he can't say publicly, that is, monogamy is very stable in terms of social structure and personal psychology, but it is unreasonable in terms of the natural birth rate of society.In the plane before he traveled, almost all developed countries had a gender imbalance, and there were more women than men.And the social fertility rate has also dropped very seriously.In fact, Daming's current operations will basically maintain a relatively balanced situation, and the birth rate is very high.

Bu'an's family is a typical national population model contribution family. Bu'an and his four wives gave birth to 21 babies in total. Because of the high level of medical treatment, the children all survived.Unlike in Europe, although the medical treatment of Ming Dynasty was gradually introduced, the infant and child mortality rate was still very high. If a family gave birth to 10 children, only 6 might survive.

Daming is completely different here. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Daming, the average number of children in a local family in the 24th year of recovery is 8!There is no war, the level of medical care has improved, and the country has spent a huge amount of money and resources on the education and upbringing of children and young people, so that the population of Ming Dynasty is still growing in an explosive manner.Many children and many grandchildren are undisputed in the traditional culture of Ming Dynasty. If a family has three or four children, when chatting with friends, they will always say: We must continue to work hard!
In rural areas, having one more child equals one more labor force. Even if a child still has to go to school, they can go home to help with farm work after school in the afternoon.In addition to spring vacation, summer vacation, autumn vacation and winter vacation, it can be regarded as a good labor force.If you have more children, you can allocate more land. There are no points for land and other benefits of agricultural cooperatives are available, so having more children is profitable.

The situation in cities is worse than that in rural areas, so the fertility rate in cities is lower than that in rural areas. Especially in Daming, urban women have become more and more mainstream in full-time jobs, and will not have time to raise children at home for a long time.Therefore, all day care institutions in the city are now operating at full capacity.Each unit will also provide preferential treatment to families with multiple children in terms of holidays, family benefits, etc.

As early as ten years after the liberation, Bai Mingxiu asked the Council of Government to introduce urban and rural childcare allowances. Urban residents with multiple children could reduce or exempt income tax, and even pay cash according to their income.At that time, many people felt that they couldn't understand it. Only Bai Mingxiu had experienced the low birth rate era before he traveled, so he knew how important it is to maintain the high birth rate state of Ming Dynasty for a long time.

In particular, his country is now a huge empire that occupies two-thirds of the earth's land, so much land needs to be cultivated and managed by the people of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu's two former clones both had more children than his original body as emperor.Bu An has given birth to 21 children and is still working hard to create people; Wang Kai is not bad either, and has now reached the national average.

Therefore, Bu An's house is very noisy. In the morning, there are only four big round tables on the breakfast table, which looks like a banquet.Not only do the four mothers need to be busy, but they also need to hire several maids and nannies. The older children are noisy, and the younger children are crying. Anyway, it is really like a vegetable market.

However, Mr. Bu'an, the governor, never disliked the noise. Instead, while reading the newspaper, he watched the bastards of his family jumping up and down.

His second son, Bu Xiong, leaned his head over, saw the intelligence paper on his father's desk, and shouted, "Father, you can't give those white skins too much face, it's his fault!"

His mother gave Bu Xiongjuan a slap on the head: "He is always neither big nor small, and has some manners!"

Bu'an's wife is a lady of every family, married to a big bastard in Bu'an, how wronged.But her married life is quite happy. Although Bu An is a rough person, he respects her very much and spends a lot of time with her family.And after all, Bu'an is a high-ranking and powerful family, and the family behind her has also risen because of her. The family business in North America has expanded well, and she is respected by everyone in her natal family.

Bu An touched his son's head and said with a smile, "Did you fight with your European classmates again at school?"

Bu Xiongxuan is not ashamed but proud: "A few poor students who don't study hard think that we Chinese can only study and our fists are not hard enough. My son immediately taught them how to be human. Haha, dad, you used to travel across North America with a bodyguard team , if we can’t fight, how did we fight this huge homeland?”

Bu An laughed and hugged his son's shoulder dotingly: "That's right, we Ming people like to reason and are gentle people. But, if someone doesn't want to reason with us, we Ming people have to Beat them to death, and in the end only those who are willing to reason with us are left."
