Great Xia.

Linjiang City.

While Qin Deguang was struggling in the icy cold, Yang Fan was welcoming a brand new day.

Great Xia dog, Wang Zai was busily working downstairs, preparing breakfast earnestly.

Yang Fan, dressed in pajamas, lazily lay on the sofa, watching the morning news on TV.

"After discussion, the Supreme Governance Team has decided to formally approve and implement the 'Great Xia Population Bill' from today onward.

"The bill aims to stimulate the growth of Great Xia's population to better tackle the immense challenges of the Superpower Era."

Yang Fan couldn't help but smile: "Looks like the high-level response is quite fast!"

Yesterday, he had conveyed the matter of the Great Xia World Will through another high-level channel and suggested it to the officials.

Unexpectedly, just one night later, the officials had drawn up the relevant plan overnight and announced it early in the morning.

Such efficiency cannot be said to be slow.

"Population is the foundation of everything; only with more population can Great Xia produce more Superpower Users.

"Only with more population can Great Xia have more soldiers, more labor force, producing more goods.

"For Great Xia to smoothly overcome each future crisis, it must have a sufficiently large population.

"For the continuation of the Great Xia people, for the flame of civilization never to extinguish, Great Xia must elevate the population issue to a core national strategy…"

Yang Fan couldn't help but curl his lip.

He immediately knew that this lengthy speech was basically nonsense.

The fundamental reason for the introduction of the 'Great Xia Population Bill' was to help Xiaoya become the only World Will on Canglan Star.

The population of the Great Xia People must account for over one-third of the global population, an indispensable hard condition.

The news anchor began to discuss the details of the bill.

"The following are the key contents of the 'Great Xia Population Bill'.

"Article One, from the date of bill promulgation, Great Xia will provide citizens under 18 with a monthly subsidy of 500 Xia Yuan per person.

"For every family's second child, the subsidy will increase to 700 Xia Yuan per month.

"For the third child, the amount is 1000 Xia Yuan per month, and for the fourth child and above, the amount is 1300 Xia Yuan per month.

"Calculated accordingly, if a family has four children, the total monthly subsidy amount is 3500 Xia Yuan…"

The average income of a Great Xia citizen is 2500 Xia Yuan; 3500 almost equals the income of two adults.

This is definitely a generous subsidy.

The host spoke passionately for a full ten minutes, explaining the core points of the bill one by one.

This is a very comprehensive bill, covering everything from direct financial subsidies to medical security, to housing, and more.

Especially housing.

As long as a family has three children, the state directly gives them a house, although the house isn't large.

In summary.

The core message is only one—folks, start having kids!

For the vast low-income groups in Great Xia, the bill is quite attractive.

For example.

A couple has three children; the state arranges a job for the man, while the woman focuses on raising the kids, life goes on.

After all, this is a special era with frequent disasters.

Most people don't have high demands for quality of life; just being able to eat, wear warm clothes, and have a place to live is enough.

The official support is so strong that even Yang Fan is a bit surprised.

He unconsciously thought of a question: "There are several hundred million people under 18 in Great Xia, where does the official get so much money for subsidies?"

If subsidies are recklessly distributed, it will inevitably lead to the rapid decline of Xia Yuan's purchasing power, making the subsidy less meaningful if 1000 Xia Yuan equals only 500 Xia Yuan.

Yang Fan thought it over and could only come up with one answer: "The higher-ups might have to take drastic measures against certain industries."

Reducing excess to make up for the shortage is the only solution.

And for the officials to take drastic measures, it's probably not just salary cuts; otherwise, how could they suppress opposition from the entire industry?

Yang Fan felt the top must be prepared for a sweeping purge.

Ten kilometers away.

Eastern Electric Power Group Linjiang Branch.

This group is one of the four major electricity giants in Great Xia, and is completely state-owned.

Before the disaster struck.

Eastern Electric Power was famous for providing good benefits, and ordinary people couldn't get in without some connections.

Even after the onset of the Superpower Era, Eastern Electric Power lived quite a comfortable life.

The reason is simple.

Great Xia is the world factory of Canglan Star, and the country is crazily building indoor farms; hence the demand for electricity is even higher than before the disaster.

Eastern Electric Power's performance was higher, so could their benefits and welfare not be good?

Ordinary people could only maintain a state of having enough food and clothing, while the quality of life for Eastern Electric Power employees didn't decline much.

In comparison, their sense of happiness was even stronger than that of ordinary people.

Therefore.

The branch general manager, Xia Hengping, always wore a smile on his old face.

He was immensely grateful to the state.

He also cherished everything now.

But now.

Xia Hengping's gratitude had turned into full resentment.

He sat upright in the conference room, staring at a group of management staff in the branch, his expression looking very grim.

Xia Hengping "coughed" and revealed a piece of news: "It is said that yesterday the Supreme Governance Team met until 2 AM."

There was a slight commotion in the conference room.

The age of Great Xia's top officials is not young, and it's very rare for a meeting to go on until 2 AM.
