Chapter 1295: Foreshadowing of the Great Recession
"Owner……"
Shuang'er stared at Luo Yu, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Master, the mistresses are also responsible for the family business. I'll let Sister Hongyue settle the accounts. It's okay for them to leave in the short term. If they leave for more than a month, the group will earn
The money will decrease.”
"The monthly income is about 2 million less, and it will increase over time."
"What! Is there such a thing?"
Luo Yu opened his mouth and said seriously: "Shuang'er's words make sense. Their cultivation level is indeed too low. I will try to persuade them tomorrow."
"Owner……"
Looking at the master beside her who was simulating words, Shuang'er suppressed a smile on her face.
After a while, Luo Yu stopped muttering to himself during the simulation training and curiously asked: "If you don't talk about it, Shuang'er, I will go to the dungeon at the beginning of winter. I don't know how long it will take."
"Is it normal for you to supervise all domestic affairs during these days?"
Shuang'er stood up, nodded slightly and said: "The mood of the civil servants and military generals is stable, and the happiness index of the people is quite high."
"There are also problems that have been discovered. With the increase in immigration, the gap between the rich and the poor in the country has widened."
"Many wealthy people from the major kingdoms of the city-state have begun to immigrate to our counties. The wealthy class has taken shape and has become the fifth class after the royal family, the bureaucracy, ordinary citizens, and the common people."
"These days, they are engaged in grain, fruit, retail, steel production, salt production, mining, weapons manufacturing and other industries."
"Except for the important areas such as energy, roads, and military industry controlled by the royal family and the court, the wealthy class is present in almost all industries, which has contributed to the country's economic development."
"However, there are subtle conflicts between the wealthy class and ordinary people. Among the common people, several small class divisions have also formed, and chains of contempt have begun to take shape."
Luo Yu was stunned when he heard this: "I said that many prosperity incidents have been solved recently, but the overall prosperity has increased slowly, and some cities are even going backwards. It turns out that this is the crux."
He frowned and his expression became much more serious.
Shuang'er also realized that something was wrong, and the master had the same expression when facing the terrifying rain spirit.
The temple fell silent. After Shuang'er pondered for a moment, he asked cautiously: "Master, if we don't count our royal family, the gap between the rich and the poor in the country is actually not very serious..."
Luo Yu shook his head and sighed: "When the gap between the rich and the poor appears, it will be difficult to contain it, which will lead to class conflicts."
"The contradiction will inevitably become more and more acute. Don't think about the increase in prosperity. It may even decrease. This will be a big obstacle to my plan to break through the bottleneck of the Great Sage."
"Shuang'er, we can't let the gap get bigger and bigger."
Shuang'er curled her long hair around her temples. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively: "Master, what you mean is that after you leave the kingdom, you will let your slaves and others work hard to eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor and increase the middle class?"
"no."
“The growth of the middle class requires time and accumulation of knowledge, and cannot be achieved overnight.”
Shuang'er said again: "Then master, do you want to increase the wages of grassroots employees?"
"The imperial court is also trying to alleviate the gap between the rich and the poor and has raised the minimum basic wage three times in a row, but the results are not obvious."
Luo Yu showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Who proposed the plan?"
"Reporting to the master, one day Ling'er, Long'er, Xiao Kong, and Xiao Duo went to the street together incognito for a private visit. By chance, they asked about the salary of female employees in a clothing store, and learned that female employees receive 20 silver coins a month."
"This happens to be the first minimum basic wage standard issued by the imperial court."
"Ling'er asked the owner of the clothing store again about his income, and he said he earned 10 Dao coins per month. The difference in income between the two was hundreds of times."
"Everyone became angry immediately. At that time, you happened to go to find sister Luliya who was not at home. So after discussion, the sisters sent a notice to the court in the name of the royal family, requesting the court to raise the minimum wage standard to 30 silver coins."
"After that, it was raised several times in succession, and currently the minimum wage has been raised to 50 silver coins per month."
"Yeah?"
Luo Yu looked at Shuang'er strangely: "You also signed?"
"Um……"
"This matter is not under the jurisdiction of the slaves. It's just that the sisters wanted to raise everyone's wages, so the slaves also jointly signed it."
"Master, did we do something wrong?"
Shuang'er's expression at this moment was like that of a little girl who had done something wrong at school and looked at her class teacher anxiously.
Luo Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"you……"
"I know you care about the people and want everyone to be happy, but you still underestimate the methods of the capitalists."
"If labor costs increase, then these vampire-like business owners will inevitably lay off employees, and then crazily squeeze those employees who have not been laid off."
"This will cause many people to lose their jobs and wait for jobs, while employees who have not been laid off are afraid of being laid off and are desperately trying to get involved. This will eventually lead to social polarization and the unemployment rate will soar."
"The recession in the economic cycle will be brought forward, and if it is not handled well, it may eventually lead to a major economic recession."
"ah……"
Shuang'er panicked, hurriedly held Luo Yu's hand, and said in a panic: "Sisters...sisters didn't think so much."
"Master, what should we do? Please think of a solution quickly."
"Shuang'er."
"My slave is here..."
Seeing Luo Yu's serious expression, Shuang'er was even more flustered.
"Your hands are more tender than before. They have been well taken care of recently."
Luo Yu smiled and squeezed the maid's little hand, and even increased the blood circulation efficiency by 2% due to the comfort.
"Eh?"
"Master can pinch it at any time if he wants to, alas, that's not right!"
"Master, how long has it been since this happened, and you are still teasing me..."
There was a blush on Shuang'er's beautiful face, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"You look so good-looking!"
Luo Yu laughed loudly, reached out and pinched the maid's face, then pulled her up and walked to the window.
He looked at the starry sky and said with a smile: "The boom and bust cycle of economic development is unavoidable. This is determined by capital."
"For now, as long as we continue to expand and create enough jobs, we can significantly delay the arrival of this cyclical law."
"As for the gap between rich and poor, there is a need for a second or even third distribution of wealth."
Luo Yu turned his head and stared at Shuang'er, with a smile in his eyes and the same trust as before.
"Baby, after I enter the dungeon, you, Ling'er, Long'er, and Lulu will take the lead in the second and third wealth distribution."
"Don't worry about Xiaokong, Xiaoduo and the others. The political scores of these girls are all hovering around 35 points, which is just a little better than Yang Zaixing."
