Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1251 - 1137: Before the Grand Wedding

You must understand, nowadays, it’s not just as simple as one or two children per family.

In Dayou, it can be said that 70% of families have three or more children.

The reason for this phenomenon is because it is one of Dayou’s national policies.

In other words, there are laws in the court that require marriage at a suitable age, and if one does not marry, they will be sentenced.

Moreover, after reaching a certain age, one must have children, with the minimum starting at three.

The reason for such a requirement is naturally because the population indeed decreased due to previous wars, thus, Dayou urgently needs population replenishment.

It is precisely for these reasons that it has become a clearly defined regulation.

In truth, it’s not just Dayou, even the other neighboring countries face similar situations.

Every country nowadays is facing a problem of population shortage, thus there is no planning of birth control here like in later generations. As long as you can give birth, nobody would fault you for having as many as eight or ten children.

However, there’s another point that cannot be overlooked—the court may order you to have more children, but they will not manage the children you bear.

All expenses and costs for the children after birth must be borne by you.

This makes the common people suffer beyond words. During times of famine, it’s already fortunate to have enough to eat, each additional child is another burden.

After all, a child cannot truly help in farming or increase the household income until they are at least a teenager.

But this is an unavoidable situation. Since the court has these regulations, people are left without choice, even if they are unwilling.

As for Lin Yi, he doesn’t particularly object to this. Given the current era, the population is simply too small. Even if you add the entire population of neighboring Yan and Zhao to Dayou, it only numbers in the tens of millions.

Population is essential for development.

Of course, he will not continue using the previous methods, and while he will not abolish the marriage and childbirth laws, he will introduce corresponding measures. For instance, the state will cover the child’s food after they are born.

For every child born, the court will supply them with rations,

until that child reaches the age of ten.

One cannot achieve everything at once. Although Lin Yi wants to issue better policies, it’s a process that must be tackled step by step.

Regarding this, Lin Yi has naturally not made any announcements yet. He plans to wait until his wedding day to announce this policy.

And not just this policy, but there will be several accompanying policies released simultaneously.

In this way, he believes the entire country will celebrate his wedding together.

Of course, this might seem off track, let’s return to the main topic.

As for the construction of the residential complex, as mentioned before, it can build ten thousand homes, and each home can accommodate at least five people.

This means that the complex can directly house fifty thousand people.

Regarding whether there will be vacant homes, Lin Yi is completely confident that there won’t be any.

Currently, for these people, there’s a housing shortage rather than overpopulation, unlike in future societies. Hence, not to mention ten thousand houses, even if the number were doubled, they would still be fully occupied.

Even now, the world’s population is quite sparse, but do not forget that with economic development, the Capital City will become the largest metropolis on earth. By then, can the population really remain sparse?

Even now, the permanent population is increasing rapidly, and this complex is nowhere near enough.

Moreover, according to Lin Yi’s idea, once the complex is built, not many local residents will be living there. Merchants will surely buy them frantically.

Consequently, the actual residing population will greatly reduce, and even reaching the estimated fifty thousand is unlikely, reaching twenty thousand would already be quite remarkable.

However, one thing Lin Yi is confident in is that there will definitely be no vacant houses.

As for whether the housing prices will appreciate further in the future, Lin Yi does not plan to control it.

The rise and fall in the price of commercial housing don’t greatly affect commoners, only his treasury. The higher the appreciation, the more tax revenue he could collect.

Of course, some might wonder, if housing prices rise, how can common people afford homes?

Won’t this be just like in later societies where people cannot afford to buy homes?
