Chapter 320 Dividends of the New Era
Lu Yuan has thought about this matter for a long time, especially the gradual decline of the first generation population, which also made him realize that some things must be completed now. If you miss it, it will be too late.
The first generation actually contributed a lot. At that time, the total population was just over 10,000, but they raised more than 50,000 children. Although education was provided by Green Paradise, not everyone had to go to produce food and various daily necessities.
Production?
It is a great achievement to be able to raise the second generation of children to adulthood.
However, the first generation of the population has the shortest lifespan, basically reaching the second level and reaching the end of their lives before they are two hundred years old.
The formulation of rules and regulations can restrain the strong and protect the weak, and is also the cornerstone of the stable development of civilization.
Lu Yuan said solemnly: "The Green Mountain can provide more production every year. So it is time to benefit the people. What do you think?"
Naturally, some people are in favor of this matter and some are against it. It is always easier to obtain resources when you are in a high position.
If more is given to the common people, won't there be less left for ourselves?
But is it not easy to build a suspended mountain just to expand the strength of civilization? Once the people's hearts are broken, it is not easy to rebuild it.
Many of the current members of parliament are from the second or third generation. From the perspective of the entire human race, benefiting the people is a necessary step for social development.
Lu Tiantian said: "As long as the wealth of civilization is not overdrawn, I am not opposed to increasing social welfare... But I think differences must be reflected. Excessive social welfare is not conducive to the development of civilization."
Another economic expert said: "I think the gap between rich and poor should not be too wide."
"Only those who stand out from the crowd and whose talents can be seen at a glance will receive more resources, and the majority of the people will be able to accept such talents and receive higher treatment."
"For other people, I think they just need to be slightly differentiated."
"There is also the issue of material resources and ideal resources, and price...it is somewhat difficult to estimate."
There are many people engaged in materialistic work, and it takes a large collective to create value.
This is different from idealistic work. Most of the work in the idealistic field relies on working alone, which is the so-called "talent".
Once it comes to the collective, it is difficult to judge who has greater credit and who has less credit.
It also involves things like "connected households" and corruption, which is difficult for human civilization to avoid.
"Those moths are always easy to hide behind the collective..." Lu Yuan frowned and thought seriously, "We really have to find a way to find them out."
After a series of discussions, a new generation of social welfare security system came out.
There are a total of five levels of talents: S, A, B, C, and D. People of different levels can obtain different shares of extraordinary resources every month.
During the student stage, we are basically trained according to Category B talents.
The resources obtained by Category B talents can enable those with mediocre qualifications to grow to Level 3 within 50 years.
However, the student stage only lasts for 30-35 years at most, and basically graduates with a doctorate, so it is still not possible for everyone to advance to level 3, but there should be about 10% of children with fairly good qualifications who can advance to level 3.
class.
What's more, the current population born every year is only 2,000... This burden can be considered bearable.
After leaving society, they will be demoted to C-level talents.
The C-level standard is the past training program. Once people are trained to level 2, it will be difficult to make progress.
But as long as you can make a certain amount of social achievements, you can be promoted to level B after passing the assessment.
In other words, most civilians will repeatedly jump between B-level and C-level.
There is some degree of distinction, but it is still within the acceptable range of the public.
Moreover, the government expenditure is considered affordable.
Another thing I have to mention is...as long as you work hard for 40 years, that is, pay social security for 40 years, you can reach the permanent B-level standard.
When you are about 70 years old and still in the tail end of your youth, the government will find ways to provide resources to help you climb to level three.
After all, this piece of "big pie" will happen 40 years later.
By then, I will have made some progress and can afford this huge expenditure...
As for Class D...ahem, it is suitable for criminals.
They will be deprived of extraordinary resources.
I can't help it, this big family is indeed very warm, but there are always some people who are inherently anti-social, and it is not without crime.
Rewards and punishments are the right path for social development.
As for S-level and A-level, they must make outstanding contributions.
Because there are not many people involved, Lu Yuan will personally review it, but the rewards are also quite large.
For example, tailoring a "field", having the right to use excellent equipment, etc., giving a "Soul Infant Fruit" that can increase divine attributes, etc., are all considered strategic investments given by civilization...
What Lu Yuan is more worried about is actually the distinction between Class B and Class C. The population involved is 300,000 to 400,000, and it is impossible to supervise them all. Corruption and other things will naturally occur.
"Everyone doesn't like having children, but it seems to be a little more fair."
"Otherwise, it is conceivable that Class B will be reserved for those with connections..." Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.
Oh, yes, and the most important point!
Extraordinary resources issued by the government are not allowed to be traded privately!
After all, this is a universal social welfare, given to you by the government at a loss.
But there are always short-sighted people who will choose to sell it in exchange for a temporary better life, then just settle down or something.
Over time, the entire society will inevitably become divided between the rich and the poor, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
So we simply banned this article. Once it is verified, both the buyer and seller will be permanently downgraded to D-class personnel!
As for Lu Yuan himself, he actually doesn't need too many extraordinary resources. He is already at level six. He only has a taste of whatever fruit he eats, and there is no progress.
You can't climb to level 7 unless you create a "field".
Therefore, the wealth on hand was not less, but more.
Because in the past, the resources produced by the Tree of Life had to be fed back to human babies - there was no way, we were really poor!
But now there is no need at all. The output of a big mountain is quite abundant, and there is no need for Lu Yuan to use his small treasury to subsidize it.
As a result, the number of pomegranate fruits and soul infant fruits is increasing - only conches can be cheaper.
In addition, the poppy tree is essentially the private property of Miss Conch. Doesn’t the conch belong to me? Now the poppy tree does not need to be overdrawn. It can accumulate a considerable amount of energy every year, which can be used to produce more high-end materials.
Finally, Lu Yuan himself is also an S-level talent and enjoys the welfare benefits provided by human society...
Of course, he doesn't actually need anything. He just likes to use the materials in the treasury openly and cultivate his forging skills.
…
…
Early that morning, the students began to write programs to display corresponding reports on the bulletin board in the square.
Green Daily also sold out in no time, it was extremely popular.
"Excuse me, after discussion by the upper-level council, 95% of the output of Green Mountain will be provided for private use, and the remaining 5% will be used for future emergency reserves."
"The talent assessment policy has been officially promulgated... Level B is an advanced talent, Level C is a social minimum talent. And Level D is only applicable to criminals."
"Excuse me..."
After such a series of policies were promulgated, the entire human society was like a heavy bomb dropped, causing a huge splash!
In recognition of the great achievements of the "Mountain Moving Project", the government assigned the vast majority of people, more than 400,000 people, to the B-level training standard.
For current humans, this expenditure is actually somewhat beyond their means.
Fortunately, it only lasted four years, and the resources in the treasury could barely sustain it.
Four years later, talent standards will be re-evaluated.
After seeing the B-level benefits, everyone's face was filled with enthusiastic smiles.
There is an additional area in the Green Supermarket called the "Extraordinary Product Supply Area". Everyone can receive their annual resources with their ID cards. It is noisy and full of queues.
"Hey, buddies, we are going to the supermarket to go shopping. We finally have an annual vacation, so don't waste time here."
Sha Kan'er, Lu Ying and a few young soldiers also joined in the fun and crowded here for a while, subconsciously trying to maintain law and order. Then they found that there were no troublemakers at all - just kidding, this is the strictest security in mankind.
In this place, if you dare to steal, you will be demoted immediately.
They couldn't help but smile at each other.
They are the first, second and third generation soldiers respectively. There is really a big age gap, but in the military, the generation gap is actually not that big.
"Pomegranate fruit wine, a bottle of 168 credits. I wonder how it tastes?"
"What is this...bone-strengthening medicinal powder? It is rich in life energy and can speed up cultivation. It has a quota of 76 per bottle?"
"The leaves of the low-level tree of life, with a quota of 889... can be used as a pillow, and the life energy inside can be used for 10 years."
"Aquamarine scraps, 729 quota... It contains a small amount of idealistic energy. It's really expensive!"
B-level talents have a usage quota of 1,000 per year.
Everyone can choose what they want in the supermarket by themselves. It is reset every year and does not accumulate.
The most expensive material is actually only 1,000 credits. It is a kind of jade that can speed up cultivation. It is the scraps of a certain low-quality extraordinary material. It cannot be used to forge equipment, so it is given to the common people here.
As for more high-end supplies, they will naturally not be sold indiscriminately.
Sha Kan'er touched here and there and looked here and there, he was so dazzled. He really didn't know that human beings had created so much wealth.
Looking back, I saw that my comrades had already picked out the colorful items and packed them into a big bag.
Everyone was excitedly discussing something.
All kinds of mess, they all want to taste it.
"Captain, why are you so stained?"
"Buy that fruit wine. It can be used even at level five. The leaves of the Tree of Life are also good. Take it back and use it as a pillow..."
Sha Kan'er is a first-generation old man. Being diligent, thrifty, and shopping around are engraved in his bones and deeply rooted in his thinking.
Even though he knew that you get what you pay for, he still subconsciously wanted to choose for a long time.
The little soldier said excitedly: "That corn silk pill was developed by my second sister after several years of research. How about we buy some and try it? It's not expensive anyway."
Lu Ying, a second-generation warrior, said: "I bought it, and oh... I feel a little hot, and my whole body feels warm. This life energy... is not bad!"
"Hurry up and activate the extraordinary fire! Don't waste it."
"Hey, I'm already at level four, so this bit of vitality is still suitable for you."
They actually started practicing on the spot.
"Oh, you guys...really..." Shakaner hesitated before speaking.
Well, maybe his current thinking is outdated.
The thinking of young people is correct.
Isn’t it just for consumption that the government gives you quota?
Located due east of the supermarket, Lu Yuan's image is talking in front of the big screen: "The enthusiasm of the moment is difficult to last. Only when everyone adds firewood, the enthusiasm will last."
"The Green Mountain itself is used to provide extraordinary resources, and it is time to repay everyone."
"I also hope that all friends and comrades will not slack off and persevere in building our civilization."
"It would be great if one day, the amount of extraordinary resources obtained could allow us to reach the national B-level standard..."
"That way we can have everyone at Level 3 or even Level 4."
"This is also a little dream of mine. Let everyone reach 12 points of divine attributes. I don't know when this dream will be realized..."
The supermarket echoed with passionate discussions and laughter from time to time.
…
"That's good. At the beginning, Class B was almost universally popularized, and everyone's response was very good." Old Mao came over and said.
Lu Yuan looked at the bustling Green Supermarket and put down his heart.
The video on the screen was recorded last night and took several hours.
Well, he is quite a bitch now, and he is the one who gives speeches on welfare... Who doesn't like welfare?
As for the various policies he was scolded for, he never promulgated them himself.
"Comrade, hurry up, let's be sailors together!"
Lu Yuan and Lao Mao sat in a row and began to play with the newly developed mobile phone-"Lvwei 888".
The 256-color screen only has four functions: sending text messages, making phone calls, sending emails, and logging into government forums.
For current humans, these functions are sufficient.
[Following the needs of a better life: Analysis on the transformation of social welfare system in green cities in the new era]
This article was highlighted in red at the top of the government forum.
The discussion among the people is quite complicated, and various opinions are expressed enthusiastically.
Someone is calculating that almost everyone has four years of Class B benefits, with a limit of 1,000 per person, which is a heavy social expenditure and may cause a serious government deficit.
The old cat couldn't help but start scratching: "Hey, they have no idea how rich you are, comrade. Your annual expenses are less than 200 souls. It's just a matter of sprinkles."
"Come on, sustainable development is better. I can't raise them for a thousand or ten thousand years."
There are also people who are worried about the issue of sustainable development. When sailing in the sea, will the output of certain extraordinary resources be reduced?
Some people also question, how to judge the B-level? It is related to their vital interests, so they can't help but worry.
