160: Chapter 160 Land Privatization

Amidst Su Fan's furious roar, all the weapons of the kongming mothership were overclocked and activated, madly attacking the target spaceship.

The enemy spaceship had originally thought that Su Fan and his crew were already like turtles in a jar or meat on a chopping block, and they hadn't expected to encounter such fierce resistance.

Old General William wasn't stupid enough to enter the encirclement to communicate with Su Fan; more than a dozen class-c spaceships had already been destroyed, so what was there left to talk about?

"All units! All ships within range in the encirclement, open fire!"

"I want to turn this Black Dragon Empire spaceship into cosmic dust!" Old General William ordered loudly.

Just as the kongming's fire struck a target spaceship, it was simultaneously hit by the full-force attacks of at least twenty class-c spaceships!

First was the spaceship being targeted by the kongming; its energy shield resisted for only a moment before shattering like a bubble.

Boom—

The spaceship exploded!

As the kongming was attacked by more than twenty class-c spaceships at once, its energy shield also shattered almost instantly.

Just as the spaceship was about to be blown apart, Su Fan ordered the detonation of all the dark energy crystals on board!

Boom—

Under the combined force of internal and external energy, the kongming mothership was directly reduced to dust!

...

Blue Star, Su Fan's home.

"Beep, beep, beep..." In a basement, a bright silver Virtual cabin emitted a series of beeps.

Su Fan pushed open the Virtual cabin with a face full of exhaustion, a feeling as if a lifetime had passed appearing in his heart.

"Whew—"

"That was freaking intense!" Su Fan rubbed his face and got up to leave the Virtual cabin.

Recently, because he was being hunted by the Canglan Empire, time had been tight and accidents could happen at any moment, so he hadn't left the Virtual cabin for many consecutive days.

Fortunately, there was nutrient solution in the Virtual cabin, which could support a person staying inside for a long time; otherwise, after so many days, he would have starved to death inside.

Su Fan walked out of the basement and came to the first-floor room.

"Su Fan, you're out. Is the matter in the starry sky resolved?" Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled gently, an air of a young wife wafting towards him.

"Resolved. One for seventeen, a 1:17 loss ratio," Su Fan said with a smile.

"Wow! So amazing!" Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Fan with admiration.

"Of course I'm amazing!" Su Fan stepped forward and gave her a light hug, and Zhou Xiaoxiao fell softly into his arms.

"Don't mess around, Xiao Bai is still at home." Zhou Xiaoxiao gave Su Fan a playful glare.

"It's fine, our son is only eight years old, he doesn't understand anything." Su Fan chuckled, his hands starting to wander.

"It's broad daylight, let's talk about it at night!" Zhou Xiaoxiao said, but she didn't resist; instead, she cooperated with Su Fan's movements.

"Daytime is better, the sun is shining, it's more suitable for exercise!" Su Fan's hands didn't stop. "How about we have a third child?"

"If you want one, you want one, but having a child isn't that simple!" Zhou Xiaoxiao gave Su Fan another charming glare.

"Are you doubting my ability!" Su Fan pretended to be furious, his strength increasing a bit.

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Xiaoxiao opened her round eyes wide and spoke intentionally with a pure gaze.

...

The year is 2100. After these two years of development, Xia Country has not undergone earth-shattering changes.

The advancement of technology requires the accumulation of talent. Although Xia Country has placed enough importance on talent cultivation, people are people, not saplings.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person; this isn't just a saying.

Without a certain period of accumulation, blindly pursuing the cultivation of a large number of talents in a short time would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

Su Fan set a long-term plan for Xia Country, which would improve Xia Country's comprehensive national strength from various fields.

It can be summarized into four main points.

Point one: Territory.

By the year 2200, add 50 more habitable planets as territory.

Point two: Population.

By the year 2200, the population should reach 50 times its current level, reaching 300 billion.

Point three: Technology.

By the year 2200, achieve independent research and development of Level 4 civilization class-c spaceships, and possess the capability for mass production of class-c spaceships.

Point four: Education.

By the year 2200, bachelor's degree holders should account for half of the total population, master's degree holders for one-quarter, and doctoral degree holders for one-tenth.

The number of First-class Professors should be half the total number of doctors, the number of second-class professors should be half the number of First-class Professors, the number of third-class professors should be half the number of second-class professors, and the number of fourth-class professors should be one-tenth the number of third-class professors.

This long-term plan was named by Su Fan as the "Interstellar Era, Xia Country's First Century Plan."

In addition to this first century plan, Su Fan discussed with the Great Elder, the Xia Country Council of Elders, and the think tank to launch an earth-shaking reform!

Land privatization reform!

That's right, it was this system that had once been implemented in ancient Xia Country, brought out again by Su Fan. Then, after modifications, a document titled "New Land System of Xia Country in the Interstellar Era" was issued.

The "New Land System" stipulates that if a couple has ten children, they will receive a piece of permanent private land, which is a full 1 hectare in size.

1 hectare equals 10,000 square meters; a square with a side length of 100 meters has an area of 1 hectare.

For this 1-hectare piece of land, the recipient can dispose of it at will, except for buying and selling.

For example, building a house, farming, planting trees, or digging a pond to raise fish, and so on.

This land belongs entirely to the recipient. The reason for restricting transactions is that it can protect weak people from "being volunteered" to trade their land.

The main purpose of Su Fan's introduction of this policy was to stimulate the birth rate.

The reason Xia Country's development is so slow now is that, besides time, population is also a decisive factor.

The population base is simply too important.

Only with enough people can Xia Country occupy and utilize more planets.

Although the previous measures of awarding money for having children were effective, a family having three to five children was the limit; they were unwilling to have more.

Now, with the reward of private land, there will definitely be many people who will work hard to have children for the sake of this 1 hectare of land.

This is private land that can be passed down as an ancestral estate!

In Xia Country, becoming a saint or an ancestor is the dream of many; becoming a saint is difficult, but now, Su Fan has provided the hope of becoming an ancestor.

In addition, this set of interstellar-era land privatization policies does not need to worry about land annexation or land shortage.

Land annexation occurs because land transactions are open; Su Fan has now blocked this loophole.

All forms of land transactions and leasing are prohibited; it can only be passed on to one's direct blood relatives.

Once there are no direct blood relatives, the state will reclaim the land.

The phenomenon of land shortage will not appear in the interstellar era either. If there is no land, go and occupy it; the universe is vast, can there be a lack of planets?

Even if there are few habitable planets, Xia Country has the ability to transform planetary environments.

The two documents, "Interstellar Era, Xia Country's First Century Plan" and "New Land System of Xia Country in the Interstellar Era," quickly spread throughout Xia Country.

Ordinary people were actually more concerned about the new land system because it was an important policy that practically affected their lives.

"Land privatization? 1 hectare of land? Heavens, my dream of a private estate is going to come true! Wife, quick! Let's have children immediately!"

"Even though I know this is a means to stimulate the birth rate, I have to admit, this method is truly sweet! I want to have ten too!"

"God Su is awesome! This policy is too sincere. To stimulate births, one should bring out such sincere and good policies; otherwise, do they really think the people are fools? Big praise for God Su, big praise for the government!"

"Land privatization? This is a historical regression! Strongly oppose!"

"The 'expert' upstairs has studied himself stupid, evaluation complete!"

"Birth, birth, birth, we must have them! With 10,000 square meters of land, I'm going to build a big villa with a private swimming pool!"
