"At present, it seems that there is only one way, and that is to fully implement socialized parenting."
Zhang Hao spoke with great care and sincerity.
"Socialized parenting?" Yang Dengbang was no stranger to this concept. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is it the evacuation during the civil war?"
The case mentioned by Yang's father mainly refers to the eve of the outbreak of the first civil war. In order to deal with the threat of war, the local government specially moved tens of millions of children, the elderly, the sick and the disabled from the dangerous eastern coastal areas to a relatively safe place.
of the Southwest region.
For example, Zhang Chongxin was placed in Li Dajuan's home. The two grew up together and later naturally became husband and wife.
In fact, in addition to sojourns, there are also various types of childcare schools established by the government. This is a typical socialized childcare policy and has become a common memory of a generation.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao nodded first, then shook his head: "There are similarities and differences between the two. The biggest difference is that one is a temporary policy and the other is a basic national policy."
"What do you mean?" Yang Dengbang frowned, "What is a basic national policy? Will the polar night continue forever and never see the light of day?"
"Dad, even if there was no such catastrophe, I think socialized parenting is imperative. Otherwise, the fertility rate will only get lower and lower, and no amount of incentives will be of any use."
Zhang Hao explained softly.
Yang Dengbang glanced at his son-in-law with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other person's perspective on the problem was so profound, not even much worse than some experts.
"Since you can think of this problem, it means you already have a specific plan in mind. Let's just talk about it together and I will help you analyze it."
Zhang Hao didn't want to say it at first. After all, his so-called solution was not something he came up with at all, but his personal experience and what he saw and heard in the dream.
He only knows what is happening, not why. The more he talks about it, the easier it is to reveal the truth.
However, facing his father-in-law's expectant eyes, he could only bite the bullet and open it up a little.
"Dad, what I am going to say next is all my own thinking. There must be many omissions. If you find obvious errors or loopholes, please don't laugh at me."
"Stop dawdling, just say it."
Yang Dengbang couldn't help but urge.
Zhang Hao calmly picked up a piece of braised pork, chewed it for a few times and swallowed it, and then said:
"The socialized parenting that I personally advocate is somewhat different from what the public thinks. It is not the high-welfare policy of the West.
For example, more food subsidies for families with children, the establishment of more boarding schools, and certain children's medical insurance policies.
To sum up, these measures are nothing more than that the federal government will help parents raise their children, reduce social pressure on families, and thus increase the public's enthusiasm for childbirth."
"Huh? Then what do you think socialized parenting should look like?"
Yang Dengbang couldn't help but be surprised.
"My point of view is very simple. It is understandable that the government helps families in need to raise their children, but the measures are far from enough. I think the federal government should directly take care of the children."
"What? Just get out of here?"
"Well, I think the official should be given the same rights as guardians, even higher than those of parents. In other words, if necessary, relevant agencies can directly bypass the parents and take away the child's custody rights."
Zhang Hao made a shocking statement.
Yang Dengbang's eyes widened instantly: "You are too extreme. No matter what, parents are the first choice to raise their children."
"I don't deny this, but the reality is before us, especially in the current environment, issues such as heating and nutrition cannot be bypassed.
Under such circumstances, ordinary families simply cannot meet the requirements for raising children. If this is the case, then it is better to let the federal government take over. Do you think this is true?"
Zhang Hao unconsciously showed a touch of sadness.
The little granddaughter in the dream is like this. Similar tragedies are not common, but they are heard of frequently.
If socialized parenting could be promoted earlier, it would not be in vain for him to be "reborn".
Yang Dengbang nodded subconsciously: "Listening to what you said, it does make sense, but the federal finances have been tense for many years, and the higher authorities may not have the financial resources..."
You don’t need to ask to know that socialized child care will definitely require a large amount of expenditure, and it is not a one-time expense, but is required every year.
Zhang Hao waved his hand and interrupted directly:
"Dad, I think now is the right time. The Federation has just taken over the oil fields in the Middle East and its financial situation has been greatly improved. If we don't do it now, it will only be more difficult in the future.
Besides, children are the future of the Federation, we cannot sacrifice the good and the bad. This should be done sooner rather than later. The longer we delay, the more serious the problem will be."
"What you mean by this is that you want to personally lead this reform?" Yang Dengbang asked.
Zhang Hao nodded without hesitation: "If Consul Ji and the others are willing to let me take the lead in this matter, I will definitely do my part."
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it. I'm not satisfied with you. Minister Li of the Ministry of Transportation gave me a piece of advice before, asking me to focus my work on science, education, culture and health. I think this is a good direction." Zhang Hao said without hesitation.
Yang Dengbang smiled happily: "Not only is it good, but if this thing is really done, then even if your position as consul is not in vain, you may still be famous throughout the ages."
"Forget it about being a celebrity, I just want to do something practical and try not to waste these five years."
Zhang Hao said from the bottom of his heart.
"If you think so, I feel relieved."
Yang Dengbang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
What he fears most is that his son-in-law will be knocked unconscious by a pie, and because he is young and frivolous, he will work blindly from the beginning, regardless of the actual situation, in the hope of doing something big.
Zhang Hao turned his head and glanced in the direction of his wife and children, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I were alone, I would definitely risk everything and transform this unfair world according to my own ideas..."
"Look around." Yang Dengbang hurriedly consoled him, "Even Consul Ji can't act recklessly, let alone you."
"Well, I understand." Zhang Hao paused and then brought the topic back: "That's it for the second problem. I'll talk about the last problem..."
"Needless to say." Yang Dengbang waved his hand.
"Huh?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.
Yang Dengbang explained casually: "One socialized parenting is enough for you, but one term may not be enough. In my opinion, you don't need to worry about other problems at all, and they are not something you can worry about."
"Okay! In a few days, I'm going to meet with Consul Ji." Zhang Hao pursed his lips and suddenly looked hesitant: "Dad, I want to talk to him in person about the issue of socialized upbringing. What do you think?
Does it fit?"
"It's appropriate. What's inappropriate about this? I suggest you say it boldly. Regardless of whether Archon Ji agrees or not, this matter will not affect your succession."
Yang Dengbang comforted him.
"I understand!" Zhang Hao nodded.
…
After seeing off her daughter and son-in-law, Kuang Wenhui immediately asked her husband: "What did you and Zhang Hao just talk about?"
"Didn't Hua Qing tell you?"
Yang Dengbang's face was filled with smiles.
"No." Kuang Wenhui shook her head and complained on the spot: "It's not like you don't know that Hua Qing stays at home every day, never leaving the front door or stepping outside. He doesn't care about things outside at all. It's useless to ask."
"It's not easy for her either. She has to take care of her parents-in-law and take care of the children every day. How can she have so much free time?"
Yang Dengbang defended his daughter.
"Okay, you haven't answered my question yet?"
Kuang Wenhui said impatiently.
Yang Dengbang took a sip of tea: "It's okay to tell you, but don't go out and talk nonsense."
"Aren't you trying to sell yourself off to me?"
Kuang Wenhui glared at her husband fiercely.
Yang Dengbang put down the teapot and quickly explained: "Zhang Hao came here this time and mainly talked about two things. The first thing is that he asked me to change my job and become the chairman of Minde Times. I have already agreed to him."
"This is a good thing!" Kuang Wenhui was happy but said with a puzzled face: "Why did he let you be the chairman? What about himself?"
In any case, the chairman's salary is definitely higher than that of the manager, which is a great news.
"This brings us to the second thing. Zhang Hao is expected to become the next federal governor."
Yang Dengbang solemnly said what he was doing.
Kuang Wenhui thought she heard wrongly and frowned subconsciously: "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."
"I said our son-in-law is going to be a consul."
Yang Dengbang repeated it loudly.
"You're not trying to trick me, are you? Zhang Hao is a businessman and not an official employee. How can he become a consul?"
Kuang Wenhui looked shocked.
"I can't explain the specific reason to you, so don't ask. In short, this matter is true. In the final analysis, our daughter has a good life and married a good husband."
"So? Hua Qing is going to be the first lady?"
Kuang Wenhui was so excited that she danced for joy.
Yang Dengbang nodded: "If nothing else happens, their whole family will move into the consul's residence this month. It will not be so easy to visit them again in the future."
"Don't worry about visiting for now." Kuang Wenhui waved her hand, "Let me ask you, are you sure about this? But don't make any mistakes?"
"Don't worry, this is a sure thing."
Kuang Wenhui was so excited that she started looking for her cell phone all over the room: "Where is my cell phone? Lao Yang, have you seen it?"
"Why do you need a cell phone?"
"What else can I do? Of course, call my son and tell him the good news."
After Yang Haoxuan graduated from university, he inherited his father's legacy and stayed at the university to work as a counselor. He usually lived in Zhucheng and came back once a month.
"Stop it. Didn't I just say it? Don't spread it outside, so as not to cause trouble."
Yang Dengbang quickly advised.
"My son is not an outsider?"
Kuang Wenhui was a little reluctant.
Yang Dengbang suddenly said angrily: "With his character, you don't know that he usually acts like a fool and can't control his mouth at all."
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."
Kuang Wenhui sighed immediately.
My son is about to turn 30 and is not stable at all. He is still single and is almost worried to death.
Yang Dengbang took the opportunity to tell him: "You have to hurry up on your son's side and introduce him to more blind dates. You can't just leave everything to him."
"Do you think I'm not in a hurry? He doesn't want to get married, and it's useless to introduce him to more blind dates."
Kuang Wenhui's face was filled with helplessness.
"After some time, I will ask Zhang Hao to come forward and have a good talk with him. He has always regarded his brother-in-law as his idol. Zhang Hao's words may be more effective than ours."
Yang Dengbang rubbed his temples. His son was too wild-minded and could only treat him like a dead horse.
Kuang Wenhui nodded and tried to suggest: "I think if this is not the case, let Zhang Hao transfer Haoxuan to his side as a secretary. Doesn't it say in the books that the one who is close to red is red, and the one who is close to ink is black?"
"Don't think about it. Our son's character is not suitable for politics. It's better not to cause trouble to Zhang Hao."
Yang Dengbang shook his head.
"People are subject to change. How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try?" Kuang Wenhui felt unwilling.
"If you want to say it yourself, I can't bear to do it." Yang Dengbang waved his hand.
Kuang Wenhui snorted coldly: "Okay, I don't need you to worry about this matter. I'll go talk to my daughter myself."
"A loving mother often loses her son!"
When Yang Dengbang saw this, he couldn't help but muttered.
"What did you say?"
"Ahem, I didn't say anything. Zhang Hao just asked me to help him write an inaugural speech. I'm going to work. You can go to bed later. There's no need to call me."
Yang Dengbang quickly found an excuse.
"Don't stay up too late."
Kuang Wenhui expressed concern.
"Don't worry, there's still half a month left, so there's no rush." Yang Dengbang waved his hand.
…
At the same time, Zhang Jiayi didn't go anywhere after get off work. As soon as she got home, she called her elder sister and younger sister over. The three sisters closed the door and chatted quietly.
"Second sister, you are not making fun of us, are you? Xiaohao looks so lazy, can he still be a consul?"
As a member of the system, Zhang Jiaqi understands the difficulties involved better than her two sisters.
To be blunt, both she and her husband are more likely to sit in that position than the younger brother.
"Why did I lie to you two? This matter is absolutely true. I confirmed it with Governor He this afternoon."
Zhang Jiayi said solemnly.
Zhang Jiahui was immediately overjoyed: "I never thought that my little brother would have such an opportunity. If my parents knew about it, they would definitely be crazy about it."
"Sister, my parents and Hua Qing have known about it for a long time, but the three of us are the only ones who are still kept in the dark."
Zhang Jiayi smiled bitterly.
"Then how did you find out?"
Zhang Jiahui took advantage of the situation and asked.
"This morning, Xiaohao brought Guoji and Guoxuan to the company to sign. I asked casually, and he told me the truth."
Zhang Jiaqi asked curiously: "Sign? What do you sign?"
"In order to become the consul, Xiao Hao divided the company in advance. Big Pudding got Shuguang Company, Little Pudding got Minde Era, An'an and Kangkang split the Haotian Group equally, and the rest belongs to Guoguo."
Zhang Jiayi explained casually.
"He is really willing to give up. Aren't he afraid that Big Pudding and the others will not be filial in the future?" Zhang Jiaqi joked.
Hearing this, Zhang Jiahui patted the younger sister's arm gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's not talk about An An and the other three. We have watched Big Pudding and Little Pudding grow up, how could they be that kind of person?"
"I'm joking." Zhang Jiaqi shrugged.
"Stop making such jokes in the future."
Zhang Jiahui reminded.
"I know." Zhang Jiaqi waved her hand impatiently, and then looked at the second sister: "Second sister, is there any inside story here? Logically speaking, Xiaohao will not be able to take the position of consul anyway."
"If you ask me, I should ask you about this."
Zhang Jiayi rolled her eyes.
"Me? I'm in charge of health work. I'm so busy all day long. How can I have time to care about current affairs?"
Zhang Jiaqi couldn't help but complain.
Besides, as a woman, she was not very interested in all kinds of political insider information.
Zhang Jiayi took the opportunity to tease and said: "Your mentality is not good. Even I know that if you want to be promoted, you must keep up with current affairs. Not everyone has the bullshit luck of Xiao Hao and can rise to the top in one fell swoop."
"Forget it, I'm not that ambitious. I'm satisfied to be in my current position."
