Chapter 336: The problem of declining fertility

They are discussing this issue today, and this issue has troubled Xuanhu City for a long time.
"what is the problem?"
Chen Xiaoqian asked curiously.
Han Shuo said with some embarrassment:
Women have begun to propose marriage divorce and remarriage, and even more women directly choose not to marry. This has led to a decline in fertility and fewer young men.

For a city, population is the foundation of its life. Everything is based on people. Now Xuanhu City’s fertility rate is declining. Although it has not yet reached a particularly serious point, the officials in Xuanhu City are right. This is still very important.
Hearing these words, Chen Xiaoqian knew what was going on, so he looked at Han Shuo with interest and asked, "Does Young Master know why this is the case?"
Han Shuo had a hunch, and shook his head without speaking.
Chen Xiaoqian sneered, and said directly without thinking: "Xuanhu man, he is self-righteous, he is good at making opinions regardless of his or her preference, and he keeps saying that it is for his own good."
After saying this, Chen Xiaoqian looked at Han Shuo with a smile, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
When he wrote about Han Shuo before, he hadn't found any problems.
After all, in domestic film and television dramas, the male protagonist is generally such a domineering and powerful role, but it is completely different when it is put on oneself.
People always have bad roots. If you don't slap yourself, you will never know the pain.
And after crossing over, Chen Xiaoqian finally understood why the previous Han actor would say that Han Shuo is a straight male cancer.
"..." Han Shuo pretended not to be talking about himself, and looked away.
Chen Xiaoqian couldn't help but laughed again and said, "To put it bluntly, it is male chauvinism. They have the final say. Who would like such a man?"
Women are also human beings, not cats or dogs. Except for those with a special tendency to abuse, who would be willing to let others have the final say?
Unless it's crazy.
As soon as this remark came out, Official A immediately said: "In my opinion, these women are doing things! I am a dignified man. Who wouldn't want to marry! If you don't get married after you are over sixteen, you will have to pay a fine! "
"Single tax?"
Chen Xiaoqian looked at Official A in surprise.
Is this the question that officials in Xuanhucheng came up with?
She didn't even know the original idea of ​​the officials in Xuanhu City was so advanced.
In modern times, it is inevitable that there will be an aging population in society. Chen Xiaoqian remembers that there were so-called "brickers" on the Internet who made comments on the levy of a single tax.
Of course, those "bricks" are not as straightforward as the official just now, but they are about what family education fund is proposed to allow early marriages to be exempted from a part of the tax, but this is no different from the single tax.
Unexpectedly, the officials of Xuanhu City thought so too, it was simply inexplicable.
"This won't solve the problem either."
Chen Xiaoqian blinked and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those who don't get married are usually the daughters of wealthy families, right?"
In such a world, the daughters of poor families have no autonomy at all. If they are not sold into rich families, they are already pretty good now. Naturally, there is no objection to being able to marry.
After all, women get married and give birth to children, and then it is the default rule of feudal society to have husbands and children, and women who have not read books have no opinion.
That is to say, women who were born rich and have studied will resist.
Especially for girls who are more spoiled at home, parents are reluctant to wrong their daughters, and it is not uncommon to keep them in their twenties.
"how do you know?"
The official stunned for a moment.
"Because only women who have read books have different insights and these ideas."
Chen Xiaoqian said directly: "Only the daughters of wealthy people can study, right?"
Although Huayuancheng does pay attention to the virtue of a woman without talent, it does not mean that a woman can't even read or read.
After all, the mistress of a big family is going to be in charge of the feedback. When the time comes, she doesn't even know the words, so what accounts should she read?
What is in charge?
Of course, these are only for people from wealthy backgrounds. Most people can live their lives, and there is no need for women to read or read.
As if thinking of something, the official frowned and said: "You say it like this...it seems that women should be prohibited from reading and literacy..." "..." Chen Xiaoqian was so angry at his words and said decisively. : "Women are illiterate, who will help you take care of your family property, manage your backyard, and teach your children?
It is obviously your man's fault, and it should be your man who changed. Why do you always attribute the problem to the woman? "
Official B opened his mouth as if he hadn't considered this issue, and said nothing for a while.
Chen Xiaoqian was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "And I also said just now that most of the women who can read and read are from relatively wealthy people and shouldn't care about your single tax."
Although it is levying a single tax, as long as it is a person with a little brain, it is absolutely impossible to do everything, and it will force the people to make it impossible to survive.
After all, if the people are really anxious, there will be trouble in Xuanhu City.
Official B gritted his teeth and said: "If the tax is not enough, then...just lock up if you don't marry!"
The officials nodded in agreement.
"absurd!"
Chen Xiaoqian's face changed and he became angry on the spot.
Everyone in the chamber looked at Chen Xiaoqian in surprise, deeply felt that the speed of this woman's face change was a bit fast.
"You men in Xuanhucheng are self-righteous. They always feel that they are doing the so-called business outside, and throw all the things at home to the women, and they don’t care about women’s feelings at all. Ask yourself, who is in charge of family affairs? Ever?
Do you think that the trivial things at home in your eyes are easy to handle? "
In fact, this problem is not only in ancient times, even in modern times.
Men think that they work hard outside, and throw all their children and housework to women, but in fact, most modern women have independent jobs.
After finishing a day's work in the company, when I got home, I had to deal with housework and take care of the children. It became a widowed childcare.
This is how many modern women suffer from postpartum depression.
In ancient times, this problem would only get worse.
Especially in Xuanhu City, there are many men who have countless side concubines, and they are self-conscious, but the chicken feathers in the backyard have to be dealt with by their own wife. No wonder Xuanhu City will have such a problem.
