In fact, the welfare system does not start from modern society.

Even in China, various benefits have started very early.

It's just that the concepts are different.

For example, in "Xia Zhen", it says: "There are four disasters in heaven, such as water, drought and famine. It is timeless, and it is not a matter of accumulation, so how can it be prepared?"

There is a record in the Book of Zhou: "If a country does not eat for three years, the country is not the country; if a family does not eat for three years, the son is not the son. This is called the preparation of the country."

The Book of Rites says: "The elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to use, the young have a place to grow, and the widowed, the widowed, the orphans and the orphans are all raised."

"Mozi" advocates: "The hungry will be given food, the cold will be given clothes, and the labor will be given rest."

Since the Xia and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese dynasty has attached great importance to the national food reserves.

This kind of grain reserve is actually a welfare system.

It can to a large extent resist the impact of various natural disasters on agriculture.

In the year of disaster, many people can indeed be saved.

but.

Although China had a long time ago the germination of insurance ideas, after more than a thousand years of development, the germination has always been germinated without any germination.

No one systematically proposed the concept of insurance like Zhao Kun.

It’s not that Zhao Kun is smarter than most people, nor is it because he has the insight beyond this era.

The people of China can be said to be the smartest people in the world.

There is no reason why things that can be produced by several other ancient countries cannot be developed here.

In fact, the main reason why insurance has not been formed in China is because of a basic problem.

In an era when ordinary people are worried about having enough food, it is somewhat unrealistic to let them think about things that are too long-term.

For the court, building a granary and storing grain is already their best efforts.

However, the problem of basic welfare has been completely solved in Daqin today.

Promoting welfare for all is imminent.

Another important reason is that the food in Daqin was flooded.

That's right, Zhao Kun never thought that one day he would worry about overeat.

In the past, the country had no conditions, so it could only work together and endure hardships together.

Now that the conditions are getting better, it is naturally time to consider the welfare level of the people.

Before, when Zhao Kun was a salted fish, he asked Fusu, the state-controlled country, to build a granary throughout the world.

However, the purpose of Zhao Kun asked Fusu to build a granary was completely opposite to that of Xia and Shang.

Granary silos were built in the past dynasties to store grain in order to prepare for emergencies.

But Zhao Kun built a granary just to digest the excess grain in the Qin Dynasty.

Yes, the biggest problem with the Qin Dynasty today is the food issue.

It’s not that there is too much food, but that there is too much food.

In the past, the lives of the people of Daqin were in the winter, and they basically only ate thin food.

During the busy farming season, there are only two meals a day, and one of them is the best family for life.

Only the main labor force in the family can enjoy this treatment.

It is already a good life for women, children and the elderly to have a full meal during the holidays.

However, since Zhao Kun promoted sweet potatoes nationwide, these days have gone forever.

People have endless enthusiasm for this kind of food that produces a lot and is full, and more importantly, they are not picky about the land.

So much so that in the whole world, wherever there are conditions, every family will grow some sweet potatoes.

Since then, the Qin Dynasty has no longer had any worries about famine.

However, in just a few years of good days, the people have not forgotten the fear of being dominated by hunger.

Nowadays, even in Guanzhong, the staple food of ordinary people is still sweet potatoes.

If you eat too much of these things, you will naturally have less of other things.

But over the years, under the guidance of Zhao Kun, the court has been trying its best to promote various grain crops.

When countries trade and take the lead in tax exemption, they are all cash crops such as vegetables.

Once, Zhao Kun went to a farm in Guanzhong for inspection and came to a farmer's home.

When he saw the old man in his farmer's house in his 80s holding a bowl of sweet potato porridge in his hand, he couldn't help but frown.

The family raised more than a dozen pigs and dozens of chickens because the old man's two sons had made meritorious service in the army and obtained military merits, and the family also had dozens of acres of land.

However, they actually asked the old birthday boys in their home to eat sweet potato porridge.

First of all, it is clear that this is not health preservation, but eating sweet potato porridge every meal.

When Zhao Kun learned the truth and was about to get angry, he was taught a lesson by the old man.

"I am eighty-three years old this year. Since King Zhaoxiang, I have been through five generations of kings. It is only when I arrived at His Majesty that I had a full meal at home."

"The children want to give me good food, and I have no shortage of eggs and meat at home, and I can afford it every day. I refuse it myself. Young people don't understand famine, so how can I not know?

Now, in the past, it was not exchanged for gods. I will feel like I have a life-long life after taking a bite of it!”

"If your Majesty wants to punish me, I, an old man who is not polite, has nothing to do with the children!"

That day, after Zhao Kun returned to Xianyang, he was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day.

It's hard to deal with!

With simple thoughts, the people stubbornly believe that those who can hide food are the ones who are good at hiding them.

However, they did not consider that you eat less, I eat less.

Daqin produces so much grain every year, who can eat it?!

You should know that things like grain basically have a shelf life.

Even if the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops that can be stored for a few years will have a significant drop in taste in the second year.

no way.

The people are preparing for the future to protect against disasters.

But according to the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, unless it is a disaster that collapses in the sky and the earth.

Otherwise, the storage of grain will only drag the country's economic development back.

This is not something I can say casually.

You should know that grain can be said to be the most important essential equivalent of the Daqin economy.

The flood of food will directly lead to the inability to sell the food price.

There are people working in factories and shops at home, but the proportion of Daqin agricultural population is still more than 60%.

The lack of food is not sold at the price, which reduces the income of these families.

When everyone is suffering, it is a good thing to have surplus food at home.

But this situation now has caused an extremely unbalanced income.

The series of problems caused by this are enough to cause national turmoil.

On the other hand, falling grain prices will also affect economic prosperity.

Now, coastal counties have launched a trend of boycotting agricultural products from Nanyang.

The series of chain reactions triggered by this have begun to show signs.

Even Zhao Kun received the report.

In some places in Guanzhong, there have been cases where the food planted is rather fed to animals than to sell them.

This sign made Zhao Kun feel cold.

This reminded him of another time and space where more than two thousand years later, a farmer from a certain country poured milk into the river.

Zhao Kun knew that once this situation occurred, what followed would definitely be a storm that could sweep the Qin Dynasty.

There is no way, you have to spend money.

At present, the Great Qin treasury is rich and has the confidence to regulate from the national level.

Zhao Kun had previously proposed to build Guangnan City and improve the railway network, and this was considered in this regard.

But who would have thought that two years later, the treasury's money has not decreased, but has continued to increase.

The more you spend this money, you dare to think about it?

There is no way, I can only play a big ticket.
