“Having more children brings more happiness, and increasing production reflects the national conditions of the country!”

Before people even walked out of the customs building, Sun Dechang was distracted by the slogans and murals on the wall.

On the mural are seven or eight children playing.

"It's really full of children and grandchildren."

He jokingly glanced at the banknotes he had just exchanged in his hand - although Nanyang banknotes are called "dragon banknotes", in places such as Shanghai and Suicheng, they are called "children and grandchildren" because the other side of the banknotes is printed on There are children playing.

This red, festive-looking banknote is very strong in Tangshan, especially now that gold yuan notes have devalued into papyrus. "Children and grandchildren" are circulating in the market like US dollars and Hong Kong dollars.

Because his family had settled in Nanyang a long time ago, after declining the service of the housing agency, Sun Dechang followed the signs in the lobby and walked out of the Chang'an Port Customs Building, and then walked to the subway station.

When entering the subway, Sun Dechang looked at the subway station curiously. Chang'an Subway Station is the second subway line in Asia. The Tokyo Subway, which started more than 23 years ago, is the first subway line in Asia, but it is also the longest in Asia. The -kilometer-long Line was implemented at the same time as Chang'an Urban Construction and extends westward along Ping'an Avenue. I learned from the letters from my wife and children that the subway has long become a part of people’s lives.

Compared with the heat on the ground, the subway station seemed very cool. After buying a ticket for 2 cents, Sun Dechang, who was riding the subway for the first time, stood behind the yellow line and waited under the guidance of the staff. Within a few minutes, accompanied by With the wind blowing from the tunnel, a subway came quickly from far to near.

After the door opened automatically and the passengers got off the train, Sun Dechang entered the subway that his wife and children had repeated countless times in their letters.

By introducing medical staff from Germany and Japan, the infant mortality rate in Nanyang has now plummeted to 40‰, not only reaching the level of Europe and the United States, but even slightly lower than that of the United States. This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

"Have a happy life with many eugenics"

In fact, Sun Dechang's idea is also very common in Nanyang. After all, in this era, it is common for a family to have eight or nine children, and five or six children in a family is considered a small number. There is no way. In this era, apart from even European and American The mortality rate is not optimistic either. Take Germany, for example, when the infant mortality rate was the highest after the war, it even exceeded 160‰. Many children have died in infancy due to diseases, so having more children is a kind of insurance in itself.

Take Japan in another world, for example. It believes that population is a burden, so not long after its surrender in 45, it put forward the slogan of two children per family. It was the first country in the world to promote family planning.

Finally, Sun Dechang couldn't help laughing and whispered softly.

"There's no sound? And it's not bumpy either."

"I didn't expect that what Nanyang cares about most is not the economy, but the population."

Although the baby boom after World War II was caused by physiological needs, it was essentially thanks to the promotion of vaccines and antibiotics that the infant mortality rate plummeted.

After countries such as Japan and South Korea entered the 21st century, young people even directly chose not to have children. The government played a large role in the formation of such abnormal views on fertility.

As a reporter, Sun Dechang could see at a glance what the purpose of such propaganda was.

"Having more children means you will be blessed. Who doesn't know that? There's no need to urge!"

With the lessons learned from countries such as Japan and South Korea, Li Yian would advocate using official propaganda methods to establish a correct view of fertility. The tradition of having many children and blessings, coupled with official guidance, will inevitably lead to a population explosion in Nanyang.

After the subway started, Sun Dechang looked at the carriage like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. In the carriage, he once again saw a poster.

Even so, under Li Yi'an's insistence, Nanyang still promoted the "multiple fertility concept". He had no choice but to be frightened by the ultra-low fertility rates in East Asian countries, which were even equivalent to annihilating the country.

For the sake of population!

After sighing, the subway arrived at the station. After listening to the station name announced on the radio, Sun Dechang got off the bus and went straight to Kangpingfang. Although Chang'an's urban planning is modern, the street names are based on the ancient Chang'an. Neighbors, Kangpingfang is one of them,

After walking for twenty minutes, Sun Dechang finally arrived at the newspaper office in Kangpingfang using the address in his friend's letter, and then found his old friend. "Haha, you are finally here."

In the cafe, Li Jie looked at Sun Dechang and said.

"Ever since my sister-in-law came here alone with her children, I knew you would come sooner or later. How are you? How do you feel about Nanyang?"

Sun Dechang thought about his old friend's question for a while and said.

"This is my first time here. I haven't had time to take a closer look, but my first impression is that the prosperity of Chang'an is far beyond my previous imagination, and it is better than what outsiders describe. It took four years to build this place into such a prosperous place. It's really impressive. It’s incredible!”

Li Jie nodded and said.

"Isn't it? Four years, the same four years, Nanyang is undergoing earth-shaking construction, and Tangshan is under earth-shaking artillery fire... Hey, I just hope that the war will end soon, so that the people can live a peaceful life, and Tangshan can be rebuilt. !”

While feeling emotional, Li Jie looked at his old friend who had been reluctant to come over. He did not ask what made him change his mind, but changed the subject.

"Well, now that Brother Dechang has come to Nanyang, all industries are booming in Nanyang and people are needed everywhere. With Brother Dechang's ability, as long as he registers with the employment agency, he will definitely find a job of his choice."

The compliment from his friend made Sun Dechang smile and said.

"I'm wondering if I can join a newspaper. You know that's what I do in Tangshan. If it's convenient, I'd like to ask you to introduce me to your editor-in-chief."

Li Jie immediately became a little embarrassed by his friend's request, he said.

"Nanyang is different from other places. If you want to enter a newspaper office, you need to pass the identity verification of the Security Bureau and make sure there is no problem with your identity before you can enter the industry."

"This is unreasonable. There is no such thing in the world. What kind of identity verification? If there is a problem with the identity, what problems can there be! I can't see that they just want to block the mouth of Youyou in the world!"

Sun Dechang's scholarly temper suddenly rose, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.

"Dechang, Nanyang is Nanyang."

Seeing the scholar's angry Sun Dechang, Li Jie sighed helplessly and said.

"It's different from other places. If you look at this newspaper, it's all about construction, commerce, and some entertainment. Nanyang people don't care about political affairs. What they care about is construction and business, not anything else..."

Putting the newspaper in front of his friend's eyes, Li Jie continued.

"You see, what the people here care about is different from that in Tangshan. You see, the entire "National Income Doubling Plan" is about implementing industrial economic construction and increasing national income. If the plan is realized, the per capita income will reach Over 600 US dollars, Dechang, this is Nanyang! The reason why Nanyang is different from other places is that it is not about empty talk or anything else. If you have to say what they care about, it is how to change people's lives and make people's lives better. Get better, which..."

Pointing to another news item in the newspaper, Li Jie said.

"Look at this news. When war was still raging over there in Tangshan, the design of a "national car" had already begun here. Look at what the president said - "Let every family in Nanyang have a car." Every family has one. Cars, can you think about it? This is their goal. Their goal is not to draw a pie there and tell us to build a strong country, but to tell everyone directly that with the development of the economy, Nanyang's What can the people get?"

After taking the newspaper and looking at the news in the newspaper, Sun Dechang fell into silence. After a long time, he said stubbornly.

"Hoover also said something like this back then..."
