After several people finished dinner, they briefly walked around Xiaoyueying Town. Pi Dehen helped Qiu Feng book a luxury suite at the best hotel in Xiaoyueying Town.

Now Qiu Feng, General Ruan Tongtian, General Lai Yingzhao, and Lord Pi Dehen are drinking tea in the living room of Qiu Feng's suite.

Pi Dehen took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "Leader, the next three to five years may be a more difficult time for our Seven Demon Star government."

Qiu Feng was stunned and asked: "Why do you say that?"

Pi Dehen said: "Leader, our Seven Demon Stars and Pandora Province have always adopted the household registration system for newborns. The Seven Demon Star government was just established on January 1, 6th year of the Star Calendar. Since the use of troops against Pandora, the Seven Demon Stars have had many newborns.

The number of children's household registrations continues to rise.

We gained the right to rule Pandora on the 11th day of the 6th year of the Star Calendar, but at that time we were always in constant resistance from the local forces.

Since July of the 7th year of the Astronomical Calendar, the number of newborn household registrations in Pandora Province has been rising sharply. At the beginning, there were only a few thousand newborns a month old.

Starting from January 1 of the Starry Sky calendar year, the number of newborns has surged to hundreds of thousands per month. In the March that just ended, I counted the number of newborns registered in Guyan City and its subordinate Xiaoyueying Town. In March alone,

There are 310,000 newborns registered in household registration.

Correspondingly, although the number of newborn registrations in the Seven Demon Stars has grown steadily, it has been showing an upward trend since January 1, Year 7 of the Star Calendar.

Last year, my subordinates returned to Qiyao Star for vacation and met with other classmates at the class reunion. My classmates in the Population Resources Department of Qiyao Star revealed to me that in the entire year of Star Calendar 7 alone, the number of newly registered newborns in Qiyao Star has been

Reached more than 20 million.,"

Qiu Feng smiled and said: "City Lord Pi, I understand what you mean. In other words, the populations of the Seven Demon Stars and Pandora Star are experiencing rapid natural growth. This is normal. After the long war, the population fertility recovery is very fast.

It’s a normal thing. Besides, in an area as big as Pandora and the Seven Demons, the total population is only 1.1 billion. Even if it can accommodate a population of more than 20 billion, this is not a problem.”

Pi Dehen smiled bitterly and said: "Leader, we have to consider our fragile economic system now. If the population increases gradually, we will definitely be able to accommodate more people. But in the case of this sudden surge, the first one will be the new ones."

Infant survival rates alone pose challenges to our health care system.

And in another year, as these newborns grow up, their demands for food will inevitably increase again, and the food crisis that was finally solved may break out again.

Even if these problems can be solved now, in five or six years, these children will have to enter the elementary education stage. Whether our teachers and the number of schools are sufficient will be a great pressure. My subordinates always feel a little panic when they think about it.

At last year's class reunion, some students were actually considering this issue, and some even wrote articles and submitted them to the Political Consultative Conference, but it seems that the central government did not pay attention to it."

General Ruan Tongtian interjected: "Commander, I believe that everything is based on people. If there are no people, nothing can be done. Therefore, I believe that having children is the most natural thing."

, there is no need to disallow it, and there is no need to be anxious.

If you have money, your children will eat better. If you don’t have money, your children will eat less. If an adult has a bite to eat, give some to the children. Children are small and can eat as much food as they want. But if there are no children, they will really eat in the future.

Nothing can be done."

General Lai Yingzhao also said: "Commander, although my subordinates have a good personal relationship with City Master Pi Dehen, I have to say now that City Master Pi seems to be a bit unfounded. People are the basis of everything, no matter what we want to do

Everything needs people to do it right. What's the big problem when giving birth to a child?

To be honest, my third child was born in February this year."

Qiu Feng said: "City Lord Pi's consideration makes sense, but both generals misunderstood what Lord Pi meant. What Lord Pi meant was that we need to prepare in advance, and it is not a matter of limiting population fertility.

The only race we have in the Seven Demons that issues birth control measures is a foreign race called the Goblins. They give birth too fast. In the 6th year of the Starry Sky Calendar, there was a rebellion due to the large population.

City Lord Pi, since you and your classmates are considering this issue, have you considered countermeasures? Can the current food production of Pandora and Seven Demons satisfy the residents' basic living security?"

Pi Dehen thought for a while and said: "Leader, please report the current situation of the food first.

Needless to say, the Seven Demon Stars will be almost self-sufficient in food within 5 years of the starry sky calendar, and can store grain for the future. In addition, with the increasing popularity of new high-yielding grain varieties, if only the total number of residents of the Seven Demon Stars itself is considered,

There is no problem that the output of crops in one year can feed the entire population of Qi Yao Star for more than five years. Coupled with the free-range raising of livestock and poultry, there is no problem that the food output of Qi Yao Star in one year can feed the free residents of Qi Yao Planet for ten years.

questionable.

Pandora Star was only brought under the rule of the central government of our Seven Demon Stars on the 11th of the 6th year of the Star Calendar. In fact, not even half of the cultivated land restored in the 7th year of the Star Calendar has reached half. Even with the ongoing spring plowing of Pandora Star, it is estimated that this year

The cultivated land on Pandora sown this year is less than 70% of what it was before the war.

The entire food harvest of Pandora in the 6th year of the starry sky calendar can only be consumed by the entire population of Pandora for about 10 days. The total food output in the 7th year of the starry sky calendar can be consumed by the entire population of Pandora for about 1 month.

The Governor's Mansion of Pandora predicts that the entire food output of Pandora this year will be enough to feed Pandora's entire population for about three months. Even if the pre-war cultivated land is fully restored, it is expected that it will only be able to sustain Pandora's current population for about half a year.

For food, the remaining gaps must be imported from the Seven Demon Stars or purchased from across planets.

The population of Pandora is about ten times that of the Seven Demons, and the situation is still very serious.

We have been discussing for a long time, but there is no effective way to solve the administrative pressure caused by the population peak. We can only take it one step at a time, but investment in education and medical care must be prepared in advance."

Qiu Feng nodded thoughtfully and said: "Okay, let me analyze and judge this issue after I go to Pandora to inspect the spring plowing situation. Later I will ask Li Pingyang to hold a special meeting to discuss this matter.
