Chapter 316, Time to Expand

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the year 2050, the middle of the 21st century.

In the back garden of the Imperial Palace, Li Fu, Fang Zheng, Zhong Yun, Chen Bin, Yu Liang and other high-level officials of the Empire gathered together, talking and laughing with each other, and it was obvious that they were in a very good mood.

Over the years, after the painstaking efforts of everyone, the Empire has gradually become prosperous and strong, and a powerful country completely different from the Earth Federation has begun to rise.

On the one hand, the population of the Empire has benefited from the Empire's policy of vigorously encouraging and forcing childbirth. The natural growth rate of the Empire's population is very high, and every household has at least three or four children.

On the other hand, the most important thing is that the Empire has long introduced immigrants from the Earth Federation. This is a big part, which can quickly increase the population of the Empire in a short period of time.

In less than ten years, the population of the Empire finally exceeded 100 million, most of which were immigrants or descendants of immigrants absorbed from the Earth Federation.

After all, it is impossible to rely on natural growth from more than 10 million people to 100 million people in such a short time even if the fertility rate is high.

With a large population, coupled with the fact that the Empire attaches great importance to education, not only children have to receive complete compulsory education from an early age, but even adults have corresponding free re-education every year. Many people who immigrated from the Earth Federation originally had a low level of education, and after coming here, they can also improve their cultural level and skills through adult re-education.

The combination of ordinary compulsory education and adult re-education is the hard work that the Empire has put in improving the quality of the population in recent years, because the Empire, from Li Fu and Fang Zheng to ordinary people, deeply understands a truth that if there is no certain cultural level foundation, it will be very difficult to adapt to the interstellar universe era.

If the Empire wants to embark on the road of interstellar expansion as soon as possible, it must improve its population and population quality. Only when these two aspects are grasped, various talents will continue to emerge like carp crossing the river, and then greatly promote the development of the Empire's science and technology, economy, culture and other aspects.

Of course, on the other hand, the Empire opened up to all people to practice cultivation, and everyone practiced Yuanli, which greatly improved the quality of the population, and various geniuses continued to emerge in the Empire.

Not to mention the geniuses among the younger generation, many people who were originally unknown on Earth, after immigrating to the Empire, practiced Yuanli, and with the Empire's re-education, they began to become dazzling.

Among them was a man named Du Chao. When he was a child, he was playful in reading and did not know the value of reading. He learned to go out to work with others before graduating from high school. When he grew up, he began to regret it and wanted to improve his cultural level by self-study. However, there were many troubles in the Earth Federation, and there was no way to calm down.

Later, he immigrated to the Empire. After arriving in the Empire, on the one hand, the Empire's various welfare was very good, and there were not too many troubles. At the same time, the Empire attached great importance to re-education, plus Yuanli practice.

This Du Chao actually began to shine. He actually passed the examination of the Imperial Academy of Sciences by self-study and became a scientist, and gradually became brilliant in the field of scientific research.

It's a bit unbelievable to say that a man in his 30s, after immigrating to the Empire, a former worker turned into a scientist, realizing a gorgeous turn in life.

However, this is the fact. What really happened in the empire is just one example. The immigrants who came to the empire have basically undergone earth-shaking changes.

There are no big troubles and worries, so many immigrants began to pursue their own values ​​after coming to the empire. Countless people's dreams that have been buried deep in their hearts since childhood began to sprout, driving them towards their dreams.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black!

In a good social environment, a fair, just, open and transparent society, the people of the empire are very involved in all matters big and small in the empire, because they know that their voices can be transmitted to the upper echelons of the empire.

The useful suggestions they have carefully thought out for the country will be implemented quickly, and every bit of their efforts and contributions will be rewarded fairly, and the positive energy of the whole society will begin to play out, affecting everyone.

Originally on this side of the earth, people who like to take the back door and take advantage of loopholes found that they can get things done quickly without taking the back door after coming to the empire; originally on this side of the earth, they were defensive against others and did not dare to help others, because everyone has been deceived too much, too much.

But in the Empire, the phenomenon of no one helping an old man who falls does not exist at all, because people do not have to worry about being blackmailed for helping the elderly, do not have to worry about being taught a painful lesson for their kindness, and do not have to worry about good people not being rewarded.

The descendants of Yan and Huang have been willing to help others since ancient times, and they also know the principle of repaying a drop of water with a spring of water. It’s just that in modern society, there are too many scammers who take advantage of people’s kindness to make money, and too many people deceive these kind people.

Good intentions are not rewarded, but are often bitten, so there is a barrier between people. Sometimes, even if they see someone in need of help, they dare not lend a hand. The whole society becomes indifferent and ruthless.

This is a vicious cycle. Good people are not rewarded, so naturally no one will be a good person. Good people are bullied, justice is not upheld, and naturally everyone will slowly change.

But it is completely different in the Empire. In a good social environment, the elderly will not think of blackmailing others by falling, because even if they are old, they still don’t have to worry about anything in the Empire, don’t have to worry about their lives, and don’t have to worry about their children and grandchildren, so naturally there is no motivation to blackmail people.

Good people are rewarded, and everyone likes kind people. The news media of the Empire is also happy to report such news. The good social environment continues to circulate, and even the original bad people will slowly become good people.

So since the establishment of the Empire, the Imperial Police Department has nothing to do. Basically, they help old ladies and grandfathers catch their pets that have run away and find children who don’t know where to play.

The empire is thriving in all aspects. Li Fu, Fang Zheng and others are naturally very relaxed and have no pressure, so they can talk and laugh happily when they sit together.

"I heard that the Earth Federation is very lucky this time. The indigenous civilization in the Canis Minor Galaxy is still in the primitive slave civilization stage, allowing them to easily obtain a planet with a land area of ​​more than 800 million square kilometers. When the news was transmitted back to Earth, the whole Earth was boiling."

Yu Liang was eating the delicious fruits collected from Jiuzhou Star while chatting with everyone very casually. Today is a private party. There is no real thing for everyone to sit together to discuss, so they are very casual and chat about everything.

"I have also heard about this incident. It is said that the major stock markets on Earth have skyrocketed because of this incident. The domestic stocks of China have even reached the daily limit for more than ten times."

Zhong Yun also smiled and nodded. Getting a life planet is really of great significance to the current Earth Federation. It is no less than a dose of stimulant for the Earth Federation. After the failure of the Canis Major Galaxy, the Earth Federation has finally taken the most important step on the road to interstellar colonization.

"It's really lucky, but this also shows that in the universe, there are great opportunities. Sometimes a slight difference in the level of development of a civilization is enough to form a crushing victory."

Chen Bin curled his lips. Seeing the interstellar expansion of the Earth Federation, he was a little jealous, because the Empire has not yet officially stepped out of the Centaurus Galaxy and is still nestling in the Centaurus Galaxy.

"That's right, it seems that we have to hurry up and can't be limited to the Centaurus Galaxy. Otherwise, if the Earth Federation occupies it, we will be passive."

Zhong Yun nodded in support.

"They are dreaming. Although they have occupied the Canis Minor Galaxy, the Earth Federation has no ability to carry out large-scale immigration. Isn't the President of the Earth Federation, Zhao Dongye, coming to our Empire soon? I guess he is coming to ask our Empire for help. Without large spaceships or space battleships, it is difficult for the Earth Federation to migrate to new planets on a large scale!"

Yu Liang said disdainfully. Although the technology of the Earth Federation is also constantly developing, it still depends on the Empire in many key areas.

"The population of our empire is still too small. There are only two cities on Jiuzhou Star with a population of less than 5 million. If we expand now, we simply don't have enough people to develop. Population is a big problem."

Fang Zheng also spoke up. It's not that he doesn't want to expand outward, nor that he doesn't have the strength to expand, but the population is too small. Even if we expand, no one will develop it.

"I think it's almost time for us to expand in the interstellar space. Everyone knows the polar bears on Earth. They started from a small principality and expanded all the way to become the largest country on Earth. We can do the same. Maybe the population is small now, but we can occupy the resources in advance. Anyway, sooner or later our population will slowly expand."

Li Fu listened to everyone's conversation, with a smile on his face. Whether the empire should expand in the interstellar space now is also a controversial topic within the empire.

However, Li Fu knew that it was almost time to expand out. The empire obviously had a population of hundreds of millions. After all these years of operation, the Centaurus Galaxy was like an iron barrel. There was no need to worry about powerful civilizations invading the Centaurus Galaxy and posing a threat to the empire.

"Well, it's time to go out and expand. Let's first circle the territory."
