Chapter one hundred and seventy-seven: the bottom line of thought(1/2)
"Our current society is like this. There has never been a shortage of geniuses, only talent. However, in the past days, limited by productivity and production relations, everyone could only devote themselves to learning."
However, not everyone is gifted in learning.
Theoretically speaking, everyone has talent, but some people's talent is in learning, and then they work very hard and are finally admitted to Qingbei University and realize their ideals in life.
Some people are talented at playing musical instruments, but their families have no money. Even though he has a talent like Cai Yong, he has never been exposed to the guqin since he was a child. How could he discover his talent?
Some people are talented in track and field and running, but their parents have told them since they were young that studying hard and making progress every day is the right path. Our family is poor, so this path is the most suitable.
Then the children can only study hard and make progress every day.
"Of course, I'm not saying that it was bad in the past. After all, in the past, productivity was not up to par. For the vast majority of ordinary families, studying hard and making progress every day is their only way out."
Because if you don’t study hard, you won’t be able to get into college, and you will have to go to a junior college. And most students in today’s junior colleges will not be able to learn anything, not even a skill!
Therefore, it’s not that we don’t know that there are flaws in doing so, but that the current national strength is insufficient and it is impossible for every citizen to fully utilize their talents.
"In the past, we were limited by productivity and had no choice but to let all children work hard on the path of learning. But from now on, it will be different. Children can work hard in the direction they like and are interested in.
Got it!"
"This is when a hundred flowers bloom, this is when everyone is like a dragon, this is the prosperous age of great harmony!"
Looking at Peng Bing, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Lin Er shook his head: "You think too well, people's hearts are always insufficient, and human desires are endless. What's more, human nature is lazy!"
"Don't talk about other people, even all of you here are considered outstanding among outstanding people. Don't you have any time to be lazy? Don't you have the idea of continuing to be lazy?"
"If the productivity is really extremely abundant, and then Daxia takes measures to ensure that every citizen can eat and drink without worries even if they don't work, then the era of great peace is coming."
"Perhaps there will be changes in the future, but in the beginning, if no one enforces control, just wait for the whole people to lie down."
"In the beginning, it was just for ordinary people to enjoy it. Finally, the grassroots civil servants said that I don't want to work anymore and I want to enjoy it too. Then the teachers said, I don't want to work either, I want to enjoy it too!"
"Well, in the end, everyone is enjoying themselves and relying on robots to do their work, so who is going to do research and who is going to develop it? This will definitely not work. Sooner or later, the resources on the ground will be under the surface.
All our resources will be exhausted, and then we’ll be doomed.”
When no one looks up at the stars, and when everyone only stares at the three-thirds of an acre of land on the ground, sooner or later, human beings will die from resource depletion.
"Anyway, I am quite pessimistic about human nature and people's hearts. I think even if productivity is extremely abundant, people still need to be managed, and some compulsory measures are still needed..."
Obviously, Lin Er is a pessimist or a person who is inherently evil in human nature.
He believes that once productivity is extremely abundant, today's common people will usher in the ultimate liberation of the evil of human nature, and what will then usher in is not prosperity but destruction.
"There must be compulsory management. Even if you can feed everyone with just a little bit of productivity at that time, there must be a lot of supporting measures, a lot of supporting systems, and a lot of new ideas."
When the word "ideology" was mentioned, Jiang Ju nodded: "It's a very simple truth. Wasn't it taught in politics books in junior high school? Production relations depend on productivity. This is a very simple truth.
"
"So, when productivity changes, everything else must change with it. In terms of thinking, it is no exception."
"Now we can actually reach a consensus on the need for management. What we don't know is what kind of management model should be in the future. However, we have a virtual world, and we can conduct experiments in the virtual world.
."
"At the beginning, you can conduct experiments in four directions: don't care at all, control a little bit, control a lot, and control everything."
"Then, record more information and go step by step, you can always find the most suitable one. So, what we are going to discuss now is actually how to manage the world of Liaozhai..."
…
A few days later, a large number of new policies spread.
After the people heard the policy, they just felt confused.
Lord Banished Immortal said that from now on, people can enjoy the basic guarantee of three meals a day without having to pay or work...
Lord Banished the Immortal also said that from now on, every common person can take their identity certificate and receive one tael of silver every month under the witness of Taoism.
This tael of silver is the basic subsidy for every common person.
This money can be used freely. Whether it is buying food and rice for cooking, or going out to restaurants every day, one tael of silver is enough.
After all, one penny can now buy three kilograms of rice, three pennies can buy one kilogram of pork, the price of salt has also dropped to three pennies per kilogram, and the prices of various novel but useful daily necessities are not high.
Usually, I go to the store to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles. It only costs one penny without adding anything. If it costs two cents, you can get one or two pieces of meat and one egg. If it costs three cents, it will be even richer. It costs ten cents per person.
In one meal, you can have wine, meat, meat and vegetables.
And one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand cash at Exiled Immortal.
Although I don’t know what Lord Banished the Immortal was thinking, when these two taels of silver were actually given to his hands, the people’s outlook on life was once again impacted.
Why is this so?
This question is not only shared by ordinary people, but also by researchers and staff who come to this world.
Zhao Hua thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, and finally couldn't help but look at the teacher beside him, Huang Zixing, now the head of the Agricultural College.
"Teacher, why, why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
Huang Zixing is tending the seedlings at the moment. It is true that the efficiency of throwing the seedlings is better than transplanting the seedlings, but this does not mean that throwing the seedlings is easy, because after throwing the seedlings, the seedlings have to be patched, and patching the seedlings is also very troublesome.
At this moment, Huang Zixing was tending seedlings. He held a handful of seedlings in his left hand and inserted the seedlings into the paddy field one by one with his right hand. He had already rolled up his trouser legs, and his legs were covered with mud, and his leg hair looked very hairy.
Sparse, looks like there aren't many.
Hearing Zhao Hua's inquiry, Huang Zixing said without looking back: "It's very simple. You can say that this matter is the advanced civilization's secret to the lower class people, or it can be regarded as the custom of the Great Xia throughout the ages.
."
"Even in ancient times, during the feudal period, when a disaster occurred, the first thing people thought of was the court. Later, the court began to provide disaster relief. Later, when everyone encountered a disaster, they would subconsciously think of the court.
."
Of course, this is the ancient times of Bactria. It is not the ancient times of the Western countries. If the Western countries encountered a major disaster and expected kings, grand dukes, and counts to provide relief, then they might be thinking too much.
If you encounter a disaster, it's your business to starve to death!
I can use my personal capacity as a king, grand duke, earl, and nobleman to express my sympathy for the disaster you have encountered, and I am willing to skip meals for a day to pray for you. I am also willing to donate my income for a month to express my kindness to you.
But if you want me to use money from the national treasury and use the country’s money to rescue you, that’s thinking too much!
There is everything in the dream!
This is actually one of the many differences between East and West.
"Look, can't the relief provided in times of disaster be regarded as the ruler's assurance to the people under his rule?"
"If we look at it purely from the perspective of profit, the victims are unlucky and their families are ruined. The rulers can just ignore it and starve to death. Anyone who dares to rebel will be killed."
"We might even simply establish an isolation area. Wherever there is a major disaster, we can establish an isolation area and let the army guard it. This way we won't be afraid of rebellion."
As for saying this is cruel, there were many cruel things in the feudal era!
Even the Western countries at that time were much crueler than those in the East!
"But, the ancient rulers did not do this. As early as the Warring States Period, King Hui of Wei knew that disasters in Hanoi would move its people to the east of the river, and disasters in the east of the river would do the same."
"You can say that the kings had to provide disaster relief for the sake of the country's national strength, but from another perspective, I can also say that this is the basic guarantee and basic guarantee provided by the ancient rulers and the ancient court for the people.
"
This kind of idea that governments, courts, rulers, and kings provide the common people with a basic foundation has been passed down from generation to generation and has never been discontinued!
"In today's Daxia, the free nine-year compulsory education can be regarded as a kind of cover. During these nine years of schooling, tuition and miscellaneous fees are free. It is a pity that I have not caught up with such a policy. It seems that I will
The first year students caught up..."
"But isn't this to provide more educated and knowledgeable migrant workers?" Zhao Hua said directly.
"But if you look at it from another angle, this is actually Daxia providing money and taking the initiative to cover the costs for those who cannot afford to go to school and pay the tuition fees."
"And our medical insurance is also Daxia's protection for some people whose families are poor and cannot afford medical treatment."
"If you look at some of the government decrees we have had with Doubi's thinking, you will find that Doubi's ideas are truly in the same line and have never been cut off."
"Moreover, with the development of society and the advancement of productivity, the standards, scope, and benefits of the guarantee have also expanded and become stronger every time."
"It's just that our Daxia is still not strong enough or powerful enough, so in the past, many people did not enjoy the relevant benefits, so they subconsciously ignored these decrees."
It’s not that Daxia doesn’t want to directly provide assurance to the whole people, but that Daxia cannot do it now, so it can only give priority to certain groups.
"By analogy, I believe that one day in the future, with the development of productivity, the day will not be too far away when Daxia will provide guarantees to all the people."
Maybe by then, providing food and clothing for all the people, so that all people can have enough to eat without working, was just the most basic back-up policy of the Xia Dynasty at that time.
"Just like the previous efforts to lift the entire population out of poverty, many poor people have indeed achieved poverty alleviation through their personal efforts, the help of government orders, and the help of grassroots civil servants. Although their annual income may be just over 4,000, this is indeed the standard for poverty alleviation two years ago."
When he heard the words "annual income of 4,000 yuan" and "poverty alleviation standards", Zhao Hua couldn't help but scratch his head.
With an annual income of 4,000 yuan, this poverty alleviation standard is really low. What can you do with such a small amount of money?
Isn't it just a matter of washing dishes and working as a waiter, and the annual income is more than this amount?
Looking at the confused Zhao Hua, Huang Zixing only felt that he had a long way to go.
I planned to train this student as my direct disciple. He may be talented and willing to work in the fields, but he is too young. He is only fifteen years old and does not understand many things.
Zhao Hua is a junior high school student who came to Yangcheng after using the qualification determination reagent.
At the beginning, it was unremarkable. Although he had developed inner energy, it was just like that. Huang Zixing couldn't catch Huang Zixing's eyes, let alone cultivate it himself.
To be continued...
