Chapter 237 Daxia's Transformation

Summer.

Linjiang City.

While Qin Deguang was suffering in the ice and snow, Yang Fan ushered in a new day.

Wangzai, a big summer country dog, was busy downstairs making the ding-dong noise, carefully preparing today's breakfast.

Yang Fan was wearing pajamas, lazily lying on the sofa, watching the morning news on TV.

“After discussion, the Supreme Executive Group has decided to formally approve and implement the Daxia Population Act from today.

"This bill aims to stimulate the population growth of Daxia so that we can better cope with the great challenges of the era of superpowers."

Yang Fan couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the top management reacted very quickly!"

Yesterday, he spoke through another high-level channel about the will of the Daxia world and made suggestions to the authorities.

Unexpectedly, after just one night, the authorities formulated a relevant plan overnight and announced it to the public early in the morning.

Such efficiency is really fast.

“Population is the foundation of everything. Only when there is a larger population can Daxia produce more people with special abilities.

“Only with a larger population can Daxia have more soldiers, more labor, and produce more materials.

“If Daxia wants to successfully survive future crises, it must have a sufficient population.

"For the continuation of the entire Daxia nation, and for the flame of civilization to never be extinguished, Daxia must raise the population issue to the level of a core national strategy..."

Yang Fan couldn't help but grin when he heard this.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that this long speech was basically nonsense.

The fundamental reason for the introduction of the "Daxia Population Act" is to help Xiao Ya become the only world will of Canglan Star.

The population of Daxia people must exceed one-third of the world's population. This is an indispensable hard condition.

The news anchor began to talk about the details of the bill.

“Here are the key elements of the Daxia Population Bill.

“Article 18: From the date of promulgation of the bill, Daxia will provide citizens under the age of 500 with a subsidy of yuan per person per month.

"For each family's second child, the subsidy will be increased to 700 yuan per month.

"The monthly allowance for the third child is 1000 yuan, and the monthly allowance for the fourth child and above is 1300 yuan.

"Based on this calculation, if a family has four children, the total subsidy amount per month is 4 yuan..."

The per capita income of Daxia citizens is 2500 yuan, and 3500 is almost equal to the income of two adults.

This is definitely a generous subsidy.

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

This is a very comprehensive bill, covering everything from direct monetary subsidies to medical insurance to housing.

Especially housing.

As long as a family has three children, the government will give them a house, although it is not big.

In short.

There is only one core meaning - my fellow countryman, please have a baby soon!

The bill is quite attractive to the vast low-income groups in Daxia.

for instance.

If a couple has three children, the government will arrange a job for the man and the woman will be a full-time raiser, and they can get by.

After all, this is a special era where disasters occur frequently.

Most people do not have high demands for quality of life. As long as they can have enough food, warm clothes and a place to live, it is enough.

The official support was so strong that even Yang Fan was a little surprised.

He couldn't help but think of a question: "There are hundreds of millions of people under the age of 18 in Daxia. Where does the government get so much money for subsidies?"

If subsidies are issued indiscriminately, the purchasing power of the summer dollar will inevitably decline rapidly. By then, 1000 yuan may only be equal to 500 yuan, and the subsidies will not be very meaningful.

Yang Fan thought about it and only came up with one answer: "The top management may be going to take ruthless measures against certain industries."

Taking from the surplus and giving to the deficit is the only solution.

The country's tough measures are probably not just about cutting wages, otherwise how can it suppress opposition from the entire industry?

Yang Fan felt that the top management must have been prepared for a major purge.

More than ten kilometers away.

Linjiang Branch of Dongfang Electric Power Group.

The group is one of the four major power giants in Daxia and is also a company wholly controlled by the state.

Before disaster strikes.

Oriental Electric Power is a company that is famous for its good treatment. Without any connections, ordinary people simply cannot get in.

Even after the arrival of the era of superpowers, Oriental Electric Energy has been living a very comfortable life.

There is no other reason.

Daxia is the world's factory of Canglan Star, and the country is frantically building indoor farms, so the demand for electricity is even higher than before the disaster.

Oriental Electric Power’s performance has become even better, so how can its welfare benefits be bad?
Ordinary people can only maintain a state of having enough food and clothing, but the quality of life of Oriental Electric Power employees has not declined much.

Compared with ordinary people, their sense of happiness is even stronger.

Therefore.

The general manager of the branch, Xia Hengping, always has a smile on his face.

He is extremely grateful to the country.

I also cherish everything I have now.

but now.

Xia Hengping's gratitude turned into full of resentment.

He sat in the conference room, looking at a group of managers from the branch company with a very gloomy expression.

Xia Hengping coughed and broke the news: "It is said that the Supreme Executive Group held a meeting until 2 a.m. yesterday."

There was a slight commotion in the meeting room.

The top leaders of Daxia are not young at all, and it is very rare for a meeting to last until 2 a.m.

It is conceivable that the topics discussed at the highest level must be extremely important.

Xia Hengping continued: "The blockbuster news "Daxia Population Bill" announced at 5 o'clock in the morning is one of the results of this supreme meeting.

"As far as I know, it took less than a day from the start of discussion to the publication of the bill, which shows how determined the top leadership is."

Everyone heard something different and their eyes were fixed on the general manager.

Xia Hengping finally got to the point: "Reform in the electric energy sector is also one of the topics discussed at the Supreme Conference."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "In the next period of time, the entire power industry will undergo a comprehensive salary cut."

The word "big" is deliberately emphasized, and it is obvious that the extent of the salary cut will be beyond expectations.

Everyone's face changed.

Xia Heng said with a straight face: "I just made a phone call and asked an acquaintance at the provincial head office.

"He told me that some staff's salaries may be cut by more than 60%, and all benefits will be cut completely.

"In short, it means significantly reducing the expenditure of the entire group and handing over more profits to the country."

This statement came out.

The commotion grew even louder.

Some people even started talking about it with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Is the higher-up crazy?"

“This is not giving us a way to survive!”

In the past, Xia Hengping would have definitely said something to stop it, because he didn't like his subordinates whispering.

But now he said nothing and just let it go.

He even enjoyed seeing this scene.

A few seconds passed.

Xia Hengping slowly raised his hand: "Okay!"

The discussion immediately disappeared.

But every face still showed strong dissatisfaction.

The saying "It is harder to touch interests than to touch the soul" is a perfect description.

Xia Hengping then pretended to say: "Although Dongfang Electric has made great contributions to the country and helped the country through the most difficult period.

"But Dongfang Electric is a state-controlled enterprise and must obey the will of the state, so a big salary cut is inevitable."

These words sounded high-sounding, but they also carried a subtle and sarcastic undertone.

The high salaries and benefits enjoyed by these people are not due to their own outstanding abilities, but more to the particularity of the industry.

Xia Hengping added: "At today's morning meeting, I just gave a brief briefing. Next, the group company will gradually implement the tasks assigned by the top management." He suddenly changed the subject: "Regarding the specific salary reduction plan, the group company will also listen to the opinions of each branch."

This is a suggestive statement.

A manager proposed a plan.

"Boss Xia, since the top management wants to cut costs, we can lay off a group of people and then outsource some of the work to outsourcing companies at a low price."

Someone immediately agreed.

"I agree!"

“That’s a great idea!”

There are no fools among the people present here. They all understand the benefits of "outsourcing".

To put it bluntly, it means reducing the salaries of grassroots employees, while the impact on senior management is relatively small.

Even if you are good at outsourcing, you may even have the opportunity to earn a lot of extra money.

Xia Hengping thought about it and immediately smiled: "The branch company can study it carefully."

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

And it hit quite hard.

A middle-aged female manager immediately stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

I saw several men in black uniforms standing outside the door, looking over here with expressionless faces.

A man in black uniform asked directly, "Is Xia Hengping here?"

Xia Hengping was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up: "I am Xia Hengping."

The man in black uniform raised his hand and showed his ID: "We are from the Special Supervision Department. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation."

Xia Hengping looked puzzled: "I have never heard of any special supervision department."

The man in black uniform put down his ID and said, "The Special Supervision Department is a ministerial-level national department that was just established a few days ago. My name is Feng Yuanping, and I am the deputy director of the Hedong Provincial Branch."

Xia Hengping sneered, "That's not the way you brag, is it? I think you are liars!"

Feng Yuanping's eyes were cold: "I forgot to introduce it just now. The Special Supervision Department is a department mainly composed of people with special abilities. We are allowed to use special abilities to conduct investigations."

Xia Hengping's heart skipped a beat, and his old face changed instantly.

The expressions of other people in the conference room also changed drastically.

Feng Yuanping's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and his tone suddenly became ethereal: "Let's go!"

Xia Hengping's old face immediately showed signs of struggle, and beads of sweat quickly seeped out of his forehead.

The managers looked horrified.

Even a fool knows that Minister Feng is using his supernatural powers on General Manager Xia.

A few seconds passed.

Xia Hengping's expression suddenly became dull, his eyes half open, as if he was asleep.

Feng Yuanping said again: "Let's go!"

Xia Hengping was like a puppet, walking out of the meeting room step by step in an extremely awkward posture.

Feng Yuanping looked around and said mockingly, "Outsourcing? You guys have a pretty good plan!"

The managers all looked terrified.

Feng Yuanping snorted, said nothing more, and turned around and left.

After a while.

A low voice rang out: "Boss Xia is finished!"

Since they were all in the same company, they naturally knew that President Xia was definitely not clean.

But what frightened them even more was that the country actually used people with special abilities to conduct investigations.

This signal is really terrible.

After all, there are always ways to deal with conventional detective methods.

How can ordinary people fight against mysterious superpowers?

Outside the company.

Feng Yuanping was leading Xia Hengping, who had a dazed look on his face, and was about to get into the car when he suddenly felt something.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at an ice tree in the green belt dozens of meters away.

I saw a sleek crow staring at this side without blinking.

Feng Yuanping was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Mr. Ling Ya."

In the circle of supernatural people in Daxia, Mr. Ling Ya’s name is very famous.

Especially since this big guy just did something very amazing. He secretly cultivated the first tree spirit on Canglan Star and sent it to the distant Arctic ice field.

Any Daxia supernatural person, upon seeing a crow, will instinctively think of Mr. Ling Ya.

"Cuck!"

The crow cawed, flapped its wings and flew away.

Feng Yuanping watched the crow turn into a small black dot and whispered, "Is Mr. Ling Ya also paying attention to us?"

He suddenly had an idea: "What do you think the higher-ups will think if we report that 'Mr. Ling Ya is paying attention to the Special Supervision Department'?"

A subordinate immediately replied: "Mr. Ling Ya is a big shot that the Supreme Administrative Group is paying attention to. The higher-ups may give the Special Supervision Department more authority."

This is not an exaggeration.

If you pay a little more attention to a big shot, it really can have such an effect.

Feng Yuanping pondered for a moment, then nodded excitedly: "Let's do it!"

The Special Supervisory Department is so special that the higher-ups have imposed quite a lot of restrictions on it for the sake of stability.

In fact, Feng Yuanping really wanted to take all these people back for investigation, but he did not get authorization.

Even though he knew that many people were unclean, he could not do anything.

If the Special Supervisory Department had greater authority, there would be more he could do.

Lanshanfu villa area.

Through the vision of the spiritual crow, Yang Fan happened to see the process of Feng Yuanping arresting people.

He muttered quietly, "Letting people with special abilities use their special abilities to conduct investigations is indeed a good idea. It should be able to fill a large part of the funding gap needed for the Population Act."

This is definitely a ruthless move.

Xia Hengping is undoubtedly a chicken that was picked out and slaughtered. The purpose of doing this is to intimidate others and to safeguard the next changes.

Anyone who dares to go against the top management will probably be in big trouble this time.

By the way.

As Yang Fan's mental power grew stronger, the number of crows he had "signed" had exceeded 500.

Most of the crows are scattered in various corners of Linjiang City, monitoring every corner of the city.

So as soon as Feng Yuanping appeared, he was noticed by a nearby crow.

It is precisely because of the existence of this group of spirit crows that, in the minds of Daxia’s top leaders, Linjiang City has now become the safest city in the central region of Daxia.

This brought about a small "side effect".

Originally, Daxia was planning to relocate 300 million people to Linjiang City, but now this number has continued to increase and has more than doubled.

According to the latest plan, Daxia will relocate 2 million people to Linjiang City within two years.

at this time.

Yang Fan moved his right hand.

The blessing crystal appeared out of thin air.

He quietly activated the special abilities of the spirit beast messenger.

"Cuck!"

An illusory crow's cry sounded in my ears.

This is the voice of Bai Liushiba.

Yang Fan immediately saw a vast expanse of white Arctic ice field.

This is another wonderful use of the power of the world.

Originally, the spiritual connection between the spirit beast messengers could only be shared over a distance of more than 400 kilometers.

Now with the bonus of world power, the distance instantly increased more than ten times, and he could see the scenery of the North Pole.

He truly felt that the crystal given by Xiao Ya was a treasure.

Yang Fan observed the scene of ice and snow, and exclaimed, "It seems something is happening!"

　My child has been sick these days and I have been busy, so I have written a little less.

　　I will try to write a little more tomorrow and resume updating twice a day.
