"Prime Minister, what we can do is very limited at present. I think the only thing we can do is to start with the marriage law."

"Marriage law?"

"Yes."

Dai Kan spoke.

Said: "Prime Minister, we can raise the legal age of marriage again. Late marriage and late childbirth, even if there is a gap of one or two years, are of great benefit to the uncontrolled development of the population."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded slightly, and said: "This method is good. Change the legal age of marriage to [-] for men and [-] for women. This will greatly delay the age of marriage."

In many rural areas, it is common for girls to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.In order to take care of them, these years have always agreed that the legal age of marriage for women is [-] years old.But this time Duan Xun plans to raise the legal age of marriage for women to eighteen.

Of course, Duan Xun also knows that even the marriage law stipulates the legal age of marriage.But the phenomenon of early marriage in rural areas is difficult to eradicate.But with a decree, it will be much easier to implement in the future.

Don't underestimate getting married a year or two late.

Late marriage and late childbearing have great benefits in suppressing population growth.

"Speaking of late marriage and late childbearing. The poorer the place, the lower the level of education, everyone gets married very early. The richer the population, the more educated they are, the younger they get married. "

After Dai Kan finished speaking, Tang Erhe spoke again.

Tang Erhe is the Minister of Education and has a better understanding of the situation of Chinese education.Therefore, he said: "Prime Minister, at present, people who receive higher education are basically married in their 20s, and many even get married in their 30s. Including women, the more educated they are, the later they get married. Therefore I think the popularization of education will also lead to delayed marriage and childbearing.”

With everyone's discussion, there is a certain outline on how to "family planning".In fact, it is impossible to carry out real "family planning" in China now, because the technical capacity of "family planning" cannot be achieved at all.And Duan Xun never thought about carrying out a one-size-fits-all "family planning".

Because now, or even in the next hundred years, population is a strategic resource. "Many people are powerful" is definitely not an empty slogan.Taking the place currently occupied by China as an example, there is no problem in feeding a billion people within a few decades.When industrial technology is further developed and food production increases, it will be enough to support [-] billion people.

Therefore, some "family planning" should be carried out to prevent the population from increasing too fast.But Duan Xun did not think about strictly controlling population growth.Duan Xun just doesn't want the population to grow too fast, and the population growth can have a certain limit.

The result of the final discussion is still one, that is education.The best way for China to truly and autonomously regulate its population is to popularize education.

"Prime Minister, in fact, the issue of population should not be limited to domestic issues."

507

"Prime Minister, in fact, the issue of population should not be limited to domestic issues."

"What does Premier Yang mean?"

It was almost time for everyone to discuss, and Yang Yongtai opened his mouth slowly.Everyone was very surprised. Just now everyone said everything that should be said, and you only came out to speak now.

I don't know what to say.

So everyone looked at Yang Yongtai.

"Prime Minister, at present, the richest counties and townships in Guangdong, Fujian and other places are famous hometowns of overseas Chinese. Since hundreds of years ago, many people in this area have gone abroad to make a living and earn money in other countries. They earn money outside, and then give Send money domestically, and send money to family members. At present, many hometowns of overseas Chinese in Guangdong and Fujian are far richer than other counties and towns relying on these funds."

"kindness."

Everyone is nodding.

hometown of overseas Chinese.

There are quite a few in China, and some famous hometowns of overseas Chinese are even as wealthy as some big cities.Because many people in these places go abroad to work and earn far more money than in China.For example, many Chinese and overseas Chinese currently working in the United States have the lowest wages in the United States.But even the lowest level earns more than in China.A great feature of the Chinese is that they earn money outside, and a large part of it will be remitted to their families in China.

Of course, apart from this, many rich people who have gone abroad to become rich will also invest in their hometown after returning to China.Just like Xiang Yu had to go back to his hometown back then, since he became rich, of course he had to go back to his hometown.If you become rich, if you have made great achievements, and you don't go home and tell the people in your hometown that you have made your ancestors, then it is really "walking in brocade clothes at night".

Therefore, after returning to China, many rich people must go to their hometown.Either build bridges and pave roads, or support education in my hometown.This has brought great development to the local area.Therefore, in Guangdong and Fujian, the two provinces with the largest number of people going abroad, there are many hometowns of overseas Chinese, and their living standards are not low.

But many people don't understand.

How does this relate to the proposal currently being discussed.

"So, Prime Minister. My idea is that we can encourage people from some poor areas in the coastal provinces to go abroad to earn money. Just like many predecessors who went abroad to make a living, follow their steps to go abroad to make money."

"Go abroad to make money?"

Yu Youren didn't quite understand.

Looking at Yang Yongtai, he said: "Prime Minister Yang, according to the report of the Bureau of Statistics, the growth rate of our country's population is very fast. But going abroad to earn money can only solve how many people. It is of little use in relieving our country's population pressure. .”

Go abroad to make money?

There are only a few people.Now there are only so many Chinese and overseas Chinese in the world.That is to say, there are a relatively large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Nanyang region, but only a few million people.Compared with the current population growth of more than ten million a year in China, that population is nothing at all.How can this method be used to ease the population pressure.

Yang Yongtai smiled slightly.

Standing up, I came to the big map hanging on the wall of the cabinet meeting room, and said to everyone: "In the past, when everyone went abroad to earn money, it was a purposeless, blind flow for survival. So the population flow is not very big. But as long as we have a plan to encourage them, the floating population will not be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but millions or tens of millions. Take a look here.”

Yang Yongtai scratched the bottom of the map of Asia, that is, Southeast Asia.

Then he said: "The Nanyang region has a large area and a lot of fertile land, but the population is not large. Now the total population of the entire Nanyang region is about [-] million. At present, the richest people in this region, except those In addition to colonial merchants, there are Chinese merchants. If these areas are not colonies, then most of the wealth here should belong to Chinese merchants. Chinese merchants have the most land and wealth here. Compared with the aborigines in this area, they are in all aspects are at an absolute disadvantage.”

"What's the reason? The reason is that those Chinese and overseas Chinese who come here to make a living are more diligent than the aborigines. Many Chinese and overseas Chinese are rooted in Nanyang, and they work very diligently. After earning money, they will buy land and accumulate wealth from generation to generation. Slowly becoming wealthy locals. Relying on hard work, the Chinese and overseas Chinese have become the wealthiest group here despite the disadvantaged population, and many world-class rich people have come out."

"The remittances of overseas Chinese in Nanyang are the largest. They earn money in Nanyang, and then a large amount of money flows into China to help the development of the domestic economy. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, these overseas Chinese in Nanyang have donated more than [-] yuan to domestic education alone. As for domestic investment, there are more than [-] million in the past ten years alone. And their annual remittances to China are also more than [-] million."

"Nanyang is a very good place. Their land can support a very large population. Moreover, there is also a lot of undeveloped land in the area. According to the scale of their land, the population that can be supported will be five or six times that of the current one. , or even more. Moreover, the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Nanyang have already established a foothold in Nanyang, which also provides a very good foundation for latecomers. As long as a good plan is made, tens of millions of people can move to Nanyang in the next 20 years.”

"If we can really move so many people to the Nanyang region, we can not only greatly relieve the domestic population pressure, but also bring huge economic benefits. Domestic overseas Chinese can get a large amount of remittances, and these same people can return to China in the future Investment. The flow of large sums of money will greatly promote the development of the financial industry and bring large sums of money to the development of the domestic economy. From an economic perspective, it is very beneficial to organize the transfer of labor from some poor areas to the Nanyang region. Great benefit."

Tens of millions of people.

Listening to Yang Yongtai's words, Duan Xun couldn't help taking a breath.Move tens of millions of people to Nanyang, and then the Chinese will become as many races as the aborigines in Nanyang.

Compared with the laziness of the aborigines in the Nanyang region, the Chinese and overseas Chinese are really hardworking masters, and their education level far exceeds that of the aborigines in Nanyang.To put it bluntly, they can't keep up with these Chinese and overseas Chinese in terms of intelligence.If it is possible to move so many people to Nanyang in a planned way, the wealth in Nanyang will really be monopolized by these Chinese and overseas Chinese.If no one stops it, the land in the Nanyang region will be in the hands of these Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Even an increase in the proportion of the population can greatly affect local politics.

After everyone digested their opinions, Yang Yongtai continued: "The migration of population to the Nanyang region is a population problem and an economic problem. But in the long run, the southward migration of the population will not only help us solve some population pressure and Economic issues, more importantly, will greatly increase our influence in this region, greatly increase our control in this region."

When Yang Yongtai said this, everyone present looked very solemn.Because what Yang Yongtai said has completely divorced from population issues and economic issues.

This is a matter of national strategy.

Everyone understands.Yang Yongtai meant that people should be used to assimilate Nanyang slowly.Even if Nanyang is not turned into a province of China, China's right to speak in this region must be greatly increased.

At present, Nanyang is the territory of Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands.

The Philippines belongs to the United States, Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) belongs to France, Malaysia and Myanmar belong to the United Kingdom, and Indonesia belongs to the Netherlands.As their colony, Nanyang is also their sphere of influence.

If China adopts Yang Yongtai's method, a large number of people will be transferred here.At that time, there will inevitably be huge conflicts between China and these old empires.Including overseas Chinese and local aborigines will also have huge conflicts of interest.

Duan Xun is also thinking about it.
