Chapter 385: The Japanese Civil War Starts Again

After some reforms, the household registration model adopted by the new policy areas is similar to that of later China. The control of household registration has prevented some areas from the impact of a large influx of population. Then, taxes from the area are used to make up for it and expand backward provinces.&1t;/p>

Therefore, most of the surplus of the fiscal taxation in the ninth year of the Apocalypse will be used to build backward provinces.&1t;/p>

This model was adopted by many countries in later worlds, the most obvious one was South Africa controlled by the Boers. The Boers' idea was to divide South Africa into relatively independent provinces and then build a "United Nations model". Black people live in a "country" and white people live in a "country". When the Boers took control of South Africa, South Africa quickly became a developed country, and it was very advanced, both in medical and manufacturing.&1t;/p>

However, later Mandela launched a black movement, drove the Boers out of South Africa and sold South Africa's sovereignty to countries around the world. What else can countries around the world say? Of course, they welcomed them with both hands and praised the selfless Mr. Mandela, so "Glorious Years" came out. Finally, after South Africa was messed up, the manufacturing industry was completely destroyed, and the medical level also changed from the top of the world to a place that was trash. Chinese businessmen encountered any serious illness in South Africa and flew back to the country for treatment. The entire South Africa directly changed from a sovereign country to a backward country colonized by capital.&1t;/p>

However, the current immigration system in the Ming Dynasty is still relatively loose. Although it is not easy to immigrate across provinces in the inner region, it is easy to obtain household registration when you have to go to areas outside the control area and overseas colonies.&1t;/p>

Under such circumstances, the population of northern Zhili, Shandong and other provinces has stabilized.&1t;/p>

The exhibition routes of the provincial and provincial governments in the new policy area are also different. Regions have formulated some local exhibition routes according to their own different situations.&1t;/p>

For example, the exhibition route determined by the Shandong Provincial Government is to develop agriculture, industrial manufacturing, and marine trade. In the six provinces in Henan, they first vigorously develop agriculture and ensure this advantageous industry.&1t;/p>

The areas of fiscal expenditure tendencies vary in each province, while the central allocation is to extract fiscal revenue subsidies from the achieved provinces to the backward provinces.&1t;/p>

All the northern provinces are building construction everywhere.&1t;/p>

Building factories, roads, water conservancy, urban facilities, businessmen are investing in agriculture, industry, commerce, and employment positions are everywhere.&1t;/p>

A large number of migrant workers flocked to construction sites, and going out to work has become a trend in rural areas of northern provinces.&1t;/p>

At the same time, various land annexation activities are also continuing to develop. The main force of land annexation is agricultural companies, not the traditional landlord class.&1t;/p>

It is very easy for farmers who leave the land to obtain urban household registration.&1t;/p>

After some reforms, the people's tax pressure was greatly reduced. Corvee service was completely abolished, and official construction activities were all paying wages. Moreover, wages were paid every day, and wages were more than 30 yuan a day, avoiding the problem of arrears of wages from migrant workers.&1t;/p>

This is a rigid rule of the court. The court's projects are now outsourcing a large number of projects. The main force in contracting these projects is a state-owned capital construction company, which has many engineering teams. These state-owned capital construction companies are well-capitalized, and there is no problem with daily wage payments for migrant workers.&1t;/p>

At the same time, private capital has also participated in these projects, undertaken some local projects from state-owned construction companies. Private businessmen have to participate in these projects, and the threshold is not high. Because they undertake some things that are not very technical, the only threshold is to pay wages daily to avoid the problem of paying for wages. At the same time, the quality of the project must be passed. Once serious quality problems occur, they must bear criminal responsibility.&1t;/p>

The court also lowered the agricultural tax of self-cultivated farmers. Self-cultivated farmers with small land scale do not need to pay taxes. At the same time, those tenants no longer need to bear any taxes collected directly, even personal income taxes do not need to be paid. Only during the daily consumption process, taxes such as commodity value-added tax and salt tax are required, but they are not directly collected from the people.&1t;/p>

For ordinary people, the environment suddenly becomes very relaxed. Only when you make money have to consider paying taxes. When you have no money, the government will not come to force taxes.&1t;/p>

This is a very positive side, and the pressure on ordinary people has also increased. On the one hand, it is the continuous development of land annexation activities, and on the other hand, it is the increase in the cost of living after entering the town. For ordinary workers who do not have any savings, they will lose their lives as long as they don’t do anything for a few months, so they can only work continuously. It seems like there is a whip that keeps whipping the people forward behind the scenes.&1t;/p>

The ancients called the management of the people "herdsmen". The people actually do not have the ability to manage themselves. Once the people live a comfortable life, they are unwilling to do things. Such bad habits are widely present in all classes, not only ordinary people, but also those powerful people. Once those powerful people do not have to do things, they can gain benefits, and those powerful people are unwilling to do things.&1t;/p>

If you don’t do things, you won’t be able to generate wealth. Instead, you will continue to consume wealth, and the whole society will be poor.&1t;/p>

After some reforms, the umbilical cords of the northern provinces' interests were constantly cut off, and they also needed to do things to consider how to make money. Ordinary people also separated from the natural rural economy, and went from doing nothing all day long, even wanting to do things, to have something to do, and if they don't do things, they can't maintain a normal level of life in cities and towns.&1t;/p>

Everyone is doing things, and they can create a large number of commodities. After distribution, no matter what class, life can be fine, just a little tired. Being harder and tired is actually good for the people, and it can only avoid greater suffering.&1t;/p>

The most terrible thing about a nation is not suffering. As the saying goes, it is difficult to prosper. People are willing to struggle only when they are in desperate situations. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. As for how much they can make a breakthrough, it depends on their cultural heritage.&1t;/p>

China's cultural heritage is undoubtedly the deepest in the world. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be afraid of suffering at all.&1t;/p>

In the previous Ming Dynasty, it was only after living a comfortable life for too long that it would lead to the great suffering of the Qing Dynasty entering the pass, and such suffering would be too great.&1t;/p>

The most terrible thing for a person is not to endure hardships or suffer, but to have no hardships to suffer. Once you are too comfortable and suffering comes, it is often irreversible and disastrous consequences.&1t;/p>

Therefore, even if the Ming Dynasty had money, Zhu Youxiao would not give ordinary people a very comfortable welfare. If everyone stopped doing anything, the country would be weak.&1t;/p>

Similarly, those capitalists who do not have an enterprising attitude are also resolutely eliminated. Even within the state-owned capital consortium, those red-topped merchants are facing an elimination system. Those who are capable are superior and those who are unable are inferior. Without any stable interests for generations, no one can receive money by sitting at home with their feet raised.&1t;/p>

However, there must be a guarantee system that should be available. With the rapid growth of fiscal revenue in the ninth year of the Tianqi period, Zhu Youxiao further improved the affordable benefits in the new policy areas.&1t;/p>

First, the widowed and disabled groups, the court increased subsidies to allow these groups without labor and income to survive in cities and protect their basic right to survive. Such basic right to survive is not only about having enough food, but also about housing, education, and medical care.&1t;/p>

Nursing homes and orphanages are built in all provinces, prefectures and counties. Three meals are guaranteed by the court, residence, medical care and education are also guaranteed by the court.&1t;/p>

Disabled groups who have lost their ability to work will be given a monthly subsidy of minimum living allowance, with a subsidy amount of 1 yuan per month, which is a relatively high subsidy and can ensure basic survival well. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not have external exploitation at this time. Moreover, the productivity in the world is the highest. It can be exploited through commodity exports and other means, and the protection of disadvantaged groups can indeed be higher.&1t;/p>

The efforts in medical insurance have also increased. In the new policy areas, the system of paying out of pocket for minor illnesses and reimbursing the court for serious illnesses is fully implemented to prevent workers from losing their entire family due to illness.&1t;/p>

Different aspects of assistance are provided to poor households. If the poverty is caused by too many children, the court can make their children's compulsory education free and provide certain food subsidies. If it is a poverty caused by working ability but being lazy, it can only ensure that they are not starved to death, and the security fund is relatively low.&1t;/p>

Workers can apply for unemployment subsidies to ensure that workers can survive in cities and towns. For example, if they are unemployed due to injuries, the monthly subsidy is 1 yuan. If they still have children who are receiving education, the tuition fees for compulsory education can be exempted. If they do not have housing, they can also apply for low-rent housing. If they are unemployed because they cannot find a satisfactory job, the subsidy amount is relatively low, which only ensures that they do not starve to death.&1t;/p>

In an environment where state-owned capital dominates, it is impossible to experience large-scale unemployment like the United States in later generations. Because the wealth of state-owned capital is constantly flowing to the people at the bottom, there is no problem of large-scale unemployment, there is only the problem of willingness to do things, as long as you are willing to do things, you can always find things to do.&1t;/p>

Under such a guarantee system, as long as workers living in cities and towns have the ability to work, they will face the problem of living difficulties if they don’t work. And those who lose their ability to work due to irresistible factors can guarantee their survival.&1t;/p>

In terms of pension, a pension system is officially implemented. Enterprises pay pensions for workers and can receive a certain pension every month when they pay until they retire.&1t;/p>

With such a system, the national fiscal expenditure projects have suddenly increased, but with the current fiscal revenue, it can still be supported.&1t;/p>

If such a guarantee system is implemented, it can greatly improve the livelihood of the needy groups and improve the level of basic survival right. It will no longer allow the people to have enough food, but also ensure that the people's children can enjoy compulsory education.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youzao has increased the protection of workers, but on the other hand, it has increased the relevant anti-corruption efforts to avoid the false acceptance of subsistence allowances.&1t;/p>

There are quite a lot of such things in the future. National policies were originally good, but when they could be implemented, they were changed by local officials. Such problems not only existed in later generations, but also in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the reformed provinces in the north were rectified, and the situation was not too serious. If they were placed in southern provinces without reform, the implementation of the central policies would be messy.&1t;/p>

So Zhu Youjiao simply put forward any policies for those provinces that have not reformed and did not make any reform policies, and kept them the same first.&1t;/p>

The decade of Apocalypse has gradually arrived. In addition to strengthening affordable benefits, the fiscal budget for the new year is still mainly focused on strengthening infrastructure.&1t;/p>

Military expenditures are still only enough to maintain the status quo and there is no war plan.&1t;/p>

The biggest threat to the north is the Mongols, but the Mongols are now tied to the Ming Dynasty's commodity economy, and the contradiction is placed on plundering other ethnic groups and will not threaten the Ming Dynasty's border for the time being.&1t;/p>

There is no external threat in the south itself. China has always been invaded from the north when encountering external invasions. The South Ocean has become the back garden of the Ming Dynasty and is continuing to bloom.&1t;/p>

Even if there are some wars, it is an external colonial war, and it is mainly left to the navy to do it.&1t;/p>

In terms of infrastructure construction, after the nine years of Tianqi construction, provincial-level highways in northern provinces have been fully built, and telegraph lines have also been quickly paved to all provinces, prefectures and counties.&1t;/p>

The steam engine technology exhibition was very fast. In the ninth year of Tianqi, the motor driven by a steam engine was successfully developed. However, the current function of the motor is only to ensure the operation of the telegraph system.&1t;/p>

The construction project of the Tenth Year of the Apocalypse is nothing more than continuing to improve infrastructure and providing a large number of jobs.&1t;/p>

Expenditures on education have also increased. About half of the provinces in the ten-year reform of the Apocalypse will implement the Six-Year Compulsory Education Law. By the 11th of the Apocalypse, all provinces in the north will implement six-year compulsory education.&1t;/p>

Just as Zhu Youxiao was making the budget for this year, a telegram from Zhendong Province came to a state where a civil war broke out again. The Satsuma family, which had previously supported the reversal of the Ming Dynasty, took the initiative to attack the Tokugawa shogunate.&1t;/p>

Not long after, various vassals launched an inverted war.    [^*]&1t;/p>

The reason for this war is very simple, because after the last war, the feudal vassals gained the power to trade with the Ming Dynasty. After some trade, the strength of these feudal vassals increased greatly, and the Tokugawa shogunate could no longer suppress the situation.&1t;/p>

"Damn, what the hell is this!" Zhu Youxiao had a headache. His original intention was to fully open up trade with Japan, plunder Japan's precious metals and copper mines, as well as Japan's labor force. Unexpectedly, after some intervention, Japan became even more chaotic.&1t;/p>

Not long after, the Honglu Temple came to ask for a response plan. Zhu Youxiao said: "If you want to fight, let them fight! Don't intervene too much. If you are willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty, trade with the forces."&1t;/p>

A stable Japan is indeed more in line with the current interests of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it can expand the trade volume. However, Zhu Youxiao does not want to interfere in the internal war of Japan. If those vassals are about to fall, then let them fall. It is best to break Japan into pieces.&1t;/p>

The Tokugawa Shogunate was an important period of Japan's unification. Before the Tokugawa Shogunate unified Japan, the customs and languages ​​in various parts of Japan were different, and the ideas and concepts were quite different.&1t;/p>

A chaotic Japan seems to be more in line with the long-term interests.&1t;/p>

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao thought that Yang Guorui had given instructions to let the state-owned trade fleet transport more weapons and equipment to Japan, and whoever has the money to sell it to whom, let Japan be a little more messed up.&1t;/p>
