From Chief to Ball

"You can get meritorious service when you fight with the army, and you can get meritorious service if you work hard. Improving your working methods can not only be rewarded, but it is also easier to get meritorious service."

"There are too many ways to evaluate meritorious deeds and they are too detailed. This requires a little discussion, and it cannot be finished in a day."

"If you can accept it, put down your arms tomorrow morning."

This is a compromise method. The most important aspect of the identity of a Chinese is the right to discuss politics, which is what these workshop leaders want most.As for those benefits, they are just things after this right, not urgent.

Chen Jian's idea is to turn the entire Xiacheng system into a strictly controlled state-run system, use more bottom-level and technological advantages to support a special class of about 2 people, and use five years to maintain stability.

Within three years, those at the bottom who are bound by the charity decree will not be able to become ordinary people with political power, but Chen Jian has reserved room for them to climb up, without blocking access or killing hope, and can guarantee expansion At the same time, the basic population continues to increase.

For those workshop workers, they only need to work hard and steadily for two years to become a twelfth-class official, and it can be even faster if they bravely kill the enemy and make meritorious service in the war.Those who are above the public servants can enjoy various benefits of public property, and this hope is within reach.

But at this moment, these people can't harm the interests of those who were originally from the country, and now the people of the country started two years earlier than them.

The double difference in welfare also makes Chinese people full of desire to climb up, but this is a big cake.Most people in the country may be ninth-class nobles throughout their lives, but the treatment is eight times that of public officials, and it is still when they are about to die.

The first-class noble is 24 times that of the public. It looks beautiful and scary, but in fact the entire city may not have it. At least it must be the work of destroying the city and saving the nation.

According to the current situation, there are 8000 people above the public servants in the entire Xiacheng system, and the [-] people are distributed according to the increasing benefits of the rank, which can be simply regarded as a base of [-].

About three years later, the first batch of 5000 people will become ordinary people, and it will take another two years to become officials, which is five years.

Five years later, today's [-] people will become public servants, but according to the age limit, there is exactly one year left before they become eleventh-class nobles. If some of them make meritorious service, the virtual number of the ten thousand people who will share the pie in five years' time It can be regarded as [-].

Five years later, some of the old people in Xiacheng who are above the public will die, and then they will be raised by one rank on average, which can be roughly counted as a fictitious 11 base pie, plus the [-] of the current common people five years later, plus The current five thousand of the fourteenth class can be regarded as a total of [-] base pies.

That is to say, it is 11 base pies now, and [-] base pies in five years.

To ensure that the overall level of welfare and living standards are higher than or at least equal to today's situation, only two and a half times the current level of production is required.

Two and a half times in five years, that is, 20.00 to the [-]th power, that is, at least a growth rate of [-]%[-] is guaranteed every year.

Here's the bottom line.Below this rate, living standards will be lower than they are now, causing dissatisfaction and internal collapse.

The first year five years later, that is, the current six years later is the most important year. In that year, a large number of people today will become eleventh-class nobles according to the accumulated time, and the number of pies will suddenly increase, but then because of The minimum level of the seniority required to climb the ladder began to decline, and a group of people with a high rank began to die naturally until it became stable—on the basis of digesting and integrating 1 people a year, it would drop to [-]% Seven or eight.

This is why the implementation of this noble system will quickly turn the city into a war machine - under normal circumstances, no one can guarantee such a terrifying growth rate except for war. If it does not become a war machine, it will disintegrate first. It can't even last until it stabilizes.

It is extremely difficult to guarantee 20.00% growth every year for five years, but it can be done in this era. Because of wars, alien slaves can be plundered, new agricultural technologies can be fully promoted, and the land is almost unlimited. Just look at each The limit of what a farmer can do each year.

As a stowaway, Chen Jian can still maintain a certain technical advantage, which can also reduce some of the pressure.

The working enthusiasm of the newly joined workshop workers will also bring the production level of the Xiacheng system to a higher level, because they work for themselves. They are already the people of the country and the ruling class of the city, although they are the lowest ruling class.

Chapter 26 Unite all forces that can be united

This system has both advantages and fatal disadvantages.

The advantage is rapid expansion, gathering all internal forces that can be united, and there are basically no external enemies to shake except for internal disintegration.

As for the shortcomings, it is like eating snakes. Chen Jian first shaped the oldest group of Chinese people, and then found that there were too few people, so he focused on training this group of escaped slaves and let them join the ranks of the pie, and then used several times The population of the common people is used to support the entire special class.

In the end, the greedy snake will only devour itself because there is nothing to eat, but one thing can be guaranteed, before the greedy snake swallows itself, it is already extremely huge.

There are four paths the snake can take before it devours itself.

One is to block the way to climb up from the bottom and create two special classes to ensure the stability of the pyramid structure, forming a dual structure similar to that of nobles and commoners, or degenerating into the most disgusting caste system.

This is the simplest and the most willing thing for the ruling class.However, with the development of the education system, the feasibility of this simplest method is relatively low, and there is still a traitor like Chen Jian hidden at the top of the ruling class.

Second, change without bloodshed, and use progressive taxation to legally rob the rich and give to the poor and redistribute.

This is the most tender and the least refreshing, but it is the most difficult and impossible to do, and it can be regarded as a fantasy.

The third is to divide public property and turn it into private property. On the grounds that private ownership is reasonable, everyone lives in harmony with their destiny, and each uses his own ability. The jurisprudence is the same as the current Chinese politics, but in essence it has become a system of combining property and power, but the resistance at the bottom can be lighter If you don't mix well, you can only blame yourself for being inferior to others.

Fourth, the self-destruction of the snake brought about a riot of resistance at the bottom, destroying the entire system, but the body is still there, and the accumulated wealth is still there. It is up to people to choose from a snake to a bear, an eagle or a dragon.

The latter two situations are uncontrollable. At that time, Chen Jian will not be able to decide what will happen. At that time, he will not be able to shake a huge class with common interests.

Fortunately, Chen Jian's distinction is between products and currencies, not means of production.

Most of the loot after the public property is in control, so this system can be maintained while Chen Jian is alive, and the things before his death will be discussed before his death.

At least for now, it seems that this method can take care of most of the inner classes of Xia City, including those workshop workers. It only offends the interests of a few people. Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Jian can use his strength to ignore those minority voices of opposition .

People in the country would not think of what would happen decades later, and they had no objection to Chen Jian's proposal, after all, they did not harm their own interests.

The workshop workers hesitated for a moment. This was a very sincere condition. They could see that Chen Jian had no intention of bargaining, so this condition was also acceptable.

"Jixia, we can accept this condition. But how can you guarantee that this rule will not change again? How can you guarantee that you won't slaughter us immediately when we put down our weapons? We once believed in you, but you used our trust for yourselves. The spear is cut."

"Please also don't say things like oaths, we don't trust things like oaths very much now."

This is a very acute and realistic issue, and the fellow countrymen feel a little ashamed. This result was indeed caused by the members of the council breaking the rules. This kind of distrust will take a while to clear up, at least not now.

Chen Jian looked at He, and said with a smile: "You are right, so I said that it is not that simple to give you the identity of Chinese people, the whole Xiacheng system will change."

"The easiest way is, since everyone trusts me and gives me the right to make decisions, then I can write those words just now on the clay board as Xiacheng's law."

"From now on, there will be two kinds of rules in Xiacheng Yucheng, the laws engraved on clay tablets, and the rules written on wooden slips. You are already familiar with it, that is, the rules on clay tablets are greater than the rules on wooden slips. Take the clay slab as standard."

"Since then, the leader has broken the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Nobles and ranks are not punished, nor are official positions. My rights as a leader are not bestowed by heaven. The source of the law is that I want to represent the majority of Xiacheng people."

"From now on, the council will also undergo a comprehensive reform, no longer based on the selection of clans, meritorious service, etc. The entire supreme council has a total of 40 people, and the leader can appoint or be an official 13 people. There are no official positions above the public officials. There are 13 nobles and 14 ordinary people."

"The rules on the clay board need more than two-thirds of the people to oppose it. There are a total of 40 people in the council, and you have 14 people, which is exactly more than one-third, so as long as you don't want to change it, I can't change it. .”

"The council has the same rights as the National People's Congress. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, this new council is the National People's Congress."

"There is the right to amend the Clay Tablet Law, the right to go to war and make peace, and the right to veto the leader's proposal that arouses the opposition of the entire country, but it must be opposed by more than two-thirds, that is, 27 people."

"There are too many people in the National People's Congress, and there will be more and more people in the future. It is difficult to get results after half a day's discussion. This will make Xiacheng go very slowly."

"And this new council has every class in Xiacheng, which can be said to represent the voice of the entire Xiacheng. I think you can accept it like this. So keep your eyes open when you elect people from your side, don't choose Find someone who doesn't stand with you."

"After talking about the council and the laws engraved on clay tablets, let's talk about the rules."

"The autocratic chief holds the final veto over any wooden rule except the law on the clay tablet."

"There are many wooden slips, including merit evaluation, farming methods, smelting and textile methods, punishment for committing crimes, etc., all need to be sorted out by someone, and then sent to each workshop department for review by the Planning and Statistics Department."

"There is a specialization in the art industry. If you are elected to the council, but you are a smelter, but you can't understand how to farm in the wooden slips, so you don't get involved. It's obvious that people are farming. It’s not good to say [-] catties of seeds per mu, but you insist on saying [-] catties for an iron smelter.”

Everyone laughed, and the leaders of several workshop workers discussed it, and felt that if this method was really possible, it would be good, at least they really had the right to discuss politics.

But what Chen Jian needs now is to unite all forces that can be united, and the conditions given have not made any further waves.
