Chapter 171 Welfare Protection

It was obviously impossible to imitate the Haihan people in the production process. Although Li Nai felt a little depressed, he quickly accepted this fact. After all, the strength of "Furuifeng" is trafficking, not production. In the process of commodity circulation,

The profit generated is the most important part of "Furuifeng". As for the relatively troublesome task of organizing production, it is better to leave it to more professional people.

After visiting the production process of the salt farm, Li Nai asked to visit the homes of the salt households here, more accurately called "salt farm members". Anxi readily agreed to this request and took them to the collective at the foot of the inland mountain.

dormitory.

Because a large amount of labor is used in the production and renovation projects of the salt farm, the places where commune members live are still mainly boat-shaped houses built in the early stage, and there has not yet been time to build more solid brick houses. Currently, the salt farm commune has members and managers

There are more than 300 people in total, and a group of about 100 new immigrants will be assigned here in the near future. The allocation of boat-shaped houses is basically based on the rules of one household. If the household is two or even three generations, the commune will

Other arrangements may be made as appropriate.

Although the accommodation conditions were relatively simple, Li Nai did not see the depression and despair of the salt households in the Daming Salt Farm from the faces of these members. These people were the same as the farm members he met yesterday, with rosy faces, and they had a kind of attitude towards the Haihan people.

A sense of awe from the bottom of my heart. Whenever they see Anxi and others arriving, they will stop what they are doing, stand up straight and bow. Moreover, the styles and colors of these members' clothes are all the same, which is obviously the unity of Haihan people.

distributed to them. There are hundreds of people on this farm, and this alone is not a small amount.

Li Nai couldn't help but ask: "Look at this farm, the people in the salt farm all dress in the same uniform, why do you go to so much trouble to buy clothes for them?"

Tao Donglai responded: "We do this for two reasons. One is to facilitate management. I think Mr. Li must have noticed that the workers in farms, saltworks and other places wear clothes of different colors, which makes them look different at a glance.

They can know the unit to which the workers belong. The second is to give them a sense of identity with the collective they belong to through uniform clothing. For them, this clothing is actually like the military uniform worn by soldiers. Wearing this clothing every day, they

You will realize that you are a member of the Salt Farm Commune."

Li Nai was doubtful and said: "Is this really useful?"

Tao Dong came to wave and called a member who was working nearby: "Member, tell me your identity!"

Seeing Anxi standing behind the person asking the question, the man knew that he was probably a big shot among the Haihan people. According to the usual teaching method, he responded with fear and fear: "Report to the leader, villain Jiang San, junior laborer of the third brigade of the Saltworks Commune."

Tao Donglai pointed at Li Nai and said, "Whatever question Mr. Li asks you, you answer him honestly. Do you understand?"

Jiang nodded three times: "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."

Li Nai didn't expect Tao Donglai to do this, so he asked casually: "Jiang San, how did you get here? How long have you been here?"

Jiang San responded: "Back to Mr. Li, I took a boat from Yazhou to Shengli Port on the fifth day of last month."

"Then why do you come here from Yazhou to work?" Li Nai continued to ask.

Jiang San's face darkened and he said: "Back to Mr. Li, the villain's father was seriously ill last year and was bedridden. His family was poor, so he could only mortgage a few acres of land to borrow money for medical treatment, but in the end he still couldn't be saved. The villain was temporarily

Unable to repay the loan, the creditor became desperate, and the family's fields and house were all taken away. The villain knew nothing but farming, and could not find a living in Yazhou with a registered permanent residence. Later, he learned that the leaders of Haihan

We were recruiting people, taking care of food, housing, and paying them, so I went to sign up. If it hadn't been for the leaders to take me in, I would have starved to death in Yazhou City."

"In your opinion, what do you think of this place?" Li Nai continued to ask. He was really curious about how the local people viewed the existence of the Haihan people. It was a rare opportunity to ask questions face to face, so Li Nai naturally would not let it pass, but

I wonder if this Jiang San has the courage to answer this question.

Sure enough, Jiang San's face became a little hesitant, and he turned slightly to look at Tao Donglai's expression. Tao Donglai didn't care, waved his hand and said, "You can say whatever you think!"

Jiang San gritted his teeth and said, "Back to Mr. Li, I feel it's very unfair after I came here!"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Donglai's face showed no change, but An Xi's brows frowned, thinking that if you dare to talk nonsense, I will send you to a labor camp later to be reformed, and then you can

Know why a new life is so valuable!

Li Nai was surprised. He didn't expect that his question would actually make him famous. He subconsciously responded: "What's the injustice?"

"After the villain came here, he found that everyone here has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, but they don't need to spend a penny. As long as they work hard, they will still have wages at the end of the month. Why do I, the Ming Dynasty,

Isn’t there such a good place where you don’t need to spend money on anything? The villain also worked so hard in Yazhou, but in the end he only ended up homeless. The two places are only a hundred miles apart, why are they so different? Why does God treat people?

So unfair?" Jiang San complained angrily, but he didn't notice that several of the audience were dumbfounded.

Li Nai really wanted to say that you could get the same treatment as me if you were a domestic servant, but when I thought about it, I felt it was wrong. The Haihan people did not use these people as domestic servants, but as long-term employees with food and accommodation included.

The cost of use is slightly higher. He Qiang has already caught the loophole in Jiang's words and refuted: "When you come here, someone in your family will see a doctor and take medicine, and it will also cost money."

Jiang San shook his head and said: "The leaders have said that members will not be charged for medical treatment and medicine."

He Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then continued: "Children who want to study and learn to read always have to pay money."

Jiang San continued to shake his head and said: "The leaders have said that there is no charge for commune members and their children to go to school!"

"Weddings, funerals, weddings and funerals always need to be organized at your own expense!" He Qiang continued to give examples without giving up.

Jiang San looked at him as if he were a fool and said: "Sir, what you are talking about is the rules of the Ming Dynasty. There is a Red and White Council here, which is responsible for organizing weddings and weddings. The money spent is also given by the chiefs!"

"This..." He Qiang was speechless for a moment, unable to think of anything else that could refute Jiang San's words.

Tao Donglai didn't say anything during this process, and just kept listening, but he was secretly amused in his heart - some of his original civil affairs management designs seem to be gradually being realized now. The treatment of low income and high welfare is very useful for bribing ordinary people.

It has achieved very good results in improving people's hearts, and the public's recognition of these tangible welfare benefits is quite high.

From the very beginning when designing the treatment system for naturalized citizens, the Executive Committee decided to adopt a low-income and high-welfare approach. This was because the Ming Dynasty during this period was in a stage of continuous collapse of social order, and people actively or passively surrendered to the governance of the Cross-Travel Group.

Most of the people living in the country cannot survive normally in the original environment, but the Cross Travel Group can provide them with a comprehensive social security system. Even if there are not many people who will make a fortune in this system

Opportunities are already attractive enough for these people who want to live in a stable environment.

As Jiang San said, after people enter the commune system and become naturalized citizens, almost all daily expenses will be replaced by collective arrangements. Eating, clothing, reading, medical treatment, even birth, old age, illness and death, everything

There are commune management committees and subordinate grassroots agencies with detailed functions in charge. Ordinary people do not even find the need to spend money in the commune environment.

The cost of such comprehensive employee benefits is naturally not small, but judging from the information feedback, the rewards are quite worthwhile. When the people realize that their current benefits can only be obtained under the governance of the Haihan Executive Committee, for

The identity of the group they belong to will be higher. When one day they need to promote it externally or take up arms to defend this social system, they may not even need to do any ideological mobilization work at all.

Of course, these huge welfare expenditures still come from the sheep. After all, they all come from the value of the products created by these people in the communes and factories. The executive committee will use part of this value as social security benefits.

It is not returned to the naturalized people in the form of salary, but this is already a great move in the eyes of the naturalized people. Some people even regard these social security as "the kindness of Chief Haihan".

It is not that there are no objections. Some people think that doing so will lead to poor circulation of local goods in the future. Because the people are generally low-income, social consumption capacity will be very limited. A large number of industrially produced products can only be exported, and

But local people cannot enjoy it.

However, economic experts led by Schneider quickly refuted this view. The Chuanchuan Group, which is based on the planned economy, can completely avoid this situation by regulating the price of internal commodity circulation. The high price of commodity exports does not mean that they

will be circulated internally at the same price.

For example, a set of glass stationery with a factory price of ten yuan can be reduced to one-tenth or even lower when supplied internally to academies. Through internal product price control, the public can even be able to sell it at a price lower than the cost.

This way, even low-income people can have the opportunity to live a middle-class life. The financial subsidies required for internal price reductions can be fully compensated through losses within the dike and outside the dike.

Compared with the export volume of industrial products that can be expected in the future, this internal digestion capacity is really nothing.
