Zhang Xiaomiao hurriedly grabbed the milk and toast and was about to rush out when her father grabbed her collar.

"What are you doing? I'm going to be late!" She was so anxious that her face turned red.

Zhang's father frowned and said, "Don't go to school today. Ask for leave."

"Why?" Zhang Xiaomiao was stunned, then she became furious and said, "Are you going to expel me from school? I've told you a hundred times that I want to go to college, I want to work in the future, and I don't want to rely on a man for support! Our class teacher said that with my grades, as long as I keep them up, I will definitely be able to get into the top 10 universities in Hengyang!"

The young girl screamed at her father, "I absolutely don't want to be like my mother, a concubine who shows off in front of me but dares not do anything, and can only make me angry to death!"

Zhang's father's face turned pale, and then he said, "If you want to apply to a university in Hengyang, you must first transfer your citizenship. I have made an appointment for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the time is today."

Zhang Xiaomiao was stunned, and said in disbelief: "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Since Emperor Yao of Jinglong and Emperor Fu of Hengyang came to power, the two countries have not merged, but are very close to it.

First, both countries moved their capitals. Jinglong's capital was changed from Zidu to Jindong, and Hengyang's capital was changed from Yaojing to Longcheng.

At first, the people of both countries were somewhat panicked. The men on Jinglong's side and Hengyang's side were worried that the higher-ups would implement a gender equality system. However, unexpectedly, neither Emperor Yao nor Emperor Fu did so.

But the couple united together, overcame all difficulties, and implemented the policy of mutual nationality exchange.

What is the nationality exchange policy? It means that citizens of both countries can freely choose the nationality of Jinglong or Hengyang.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a policy designed for the women of Jinglong and the men of Hengyang.

In this way, if a Jinglong woman or Hengyang man wants to be independent, they can change their nationality and live in an environment that is more suitable for them.

Zhang Xiaomiao, who was born in Jinglong, was a child who was determined to live in Hengyang.

However, although there is a nationality exchange policy, this is only for adults over the age of 18. If children under the age of 18 want to change their nationality, it is not impossible, but the guardian needs to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to make an appointment.

Zhang Xiaomiao had wanted to change her nationality a long time ago, because although the educational environment for women in Jinglong was much more relaxed, it was only up to junior high school. Once she reached high school... no school would admit female students, unless it was a special school for brides.

Therefore, if Zhang Xiaomiao wants to go to Hengyang to study in high school, she must change her nationality before graduating from junior high school. Otherwise, if she waits until she is 18 to change her nationality, she will inevitably have to spend two or three more years.

And before that...she also had to worry that her father would marry her off under the influence of his concubine.

However, it was obvious that Zhang's father was unwilling to change her nationality.

I don't know what happened today that made her change her mind.

After returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau, she looked at the hot household registration certificate in her hand - in two months, she would be able to get Hengyang's ID card. Zhang Xiaomiao got into the car and glanced at her father in the driver's seat and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"...Emperor Yao and Emperor Fu are about to abdicate." Father Zhang sighed.

what?

Zhang Xiaomiao was startled. "What about the successors, Emperor Jinglong and Emperor Hengyang?"

"Of course it's Prince Zhige." Father Zhang rolled his eyes.

"But..." There are two thrones.

"The two countries are going to be formally unified." Zhang's father sighed and said, "The political center of the two countries will be set in Longcheng, and Prince Zhige will officially become the monarch of Jingheng. From now on, Jinglong and Hengyang will be the same."

He was not without depression when he said this.

Both monarchs were good at boiling frogs in warm water, which sounded so nice at the beginning.

"There are limited jobs in society. If both men and women are allowed to work all at once, things will quickly get out of control. People think it's difficult, and they may think that if both men and women in a small family work, their income will definitely be higher than before, and their lives will get better, but in fact this is not the case. Oversupply is terrible, and if labor units are rampant, workers' wages will inevitably decrease. At that time, there may be one more person working in the family, but the income will be less than before." This is what Fu Di said in an interview.

But Emperor Yao said: "Whether it is Jinglong or Hengyang, our family structure has been solidified. The existing one may not be the best, but it is definitely the most stable. If we change it rashly, it will definitely be unbalanced. If men and women are treated the same, the family's expenses will increase and the people's living pressure will increase. In addition, not all women are ambitious, and not all men want to be the masters of the family. People are diverse creatures. Therefore, we only implement the nationality exchange policy to give those few people a chance."

At that time, everyone thought it was a good idea and thought that we should give opportunities to a few people.

Well, over the past twenty years, there have been fewer and fewer women in Jinglong and fewer and fewer men in Hengyang, resulting in lower and lower marriage rates and birth rates, which have caused headaches for both courts.

In the end, without the two emperors saying anything, Jinglong's court officials proposed a policy to improve the treatment of women, and Hengyang's court officials also proposed a policy to improve the treatment of men.

Initially, the right to equal education was limited to primary schools, but now it is limited to middle schools. I am afraid it will not be long before this trend reaches high schools.

Now that Prince Zhige is about to ascend the throne, the two countries have truly merged, and the "one country, two systems" policy is no longer the case.

If things continue as they have been in the past, the number of single men and single women in both countries will probably break historical records.

The current situation is... it is impossible to go back to the past. If Jing Heng does not move forward, he will be dragged down by the new policy.

——The decline in the number of newborns alone is deadly enough.

Anyone with insight can see that it is only a matter of time before Jing Heng practices monogamy.

Coincidentally, Zhang's father understood this point, so, although he had always been stubborn, he gritted his teeth and agreed to his daughter's transfer of nationality.

At this time, there were many people discussing the same issue.

"Emperor Yao and Emperor Fu really are... setting a trap for the ministers to fall into."

"You think no one noticed?"

"You can see that...?!"

"It's no use just seeing it. You have to have the power to resist."

"Yes, they are a couple, who can defeat them?"

"But why did they abdicate when the time came to make great achievements?"

"Isn't this simple?"

"That's right, isn't this something known to the whole country?"

"Yes, Emperor Yao is a well-known love-brained person."

"And Fu Di, although she is not a love-brained person, it is not the first day that she has wanted to hold an art exhibition."
