The experiences of Wu Xiong and others made Xu Wei discover that Daqian's welfare benefits were not as good as he imagined, and there were still many people who were not taken care of.
Xu Wei immediately went to Niu Gui and asked: "Why are these disabled soldiers not assigned jobs?"
Niu Gui said helplessly: "We can't feed so many wounded soldiers when we are in power. We have tried our best to arrange what we can. Now our state-owned enterprises have gatekeepers, cleaners and sweepers, cooks and cooks who do logistics, and warehouse guards. These wounded soldiers were used. But there were too many wounded."
At this time, Niu Guidu was glad that the Daqian court had so many government-owned enterprises, which could place these wounded soldiers in some unimportant positions. However, the factory was engaged in production after all, and all it needed was a young and strong labor force, which was suitable for wounded soldiers. There are not many positions for soldiers at all. However, the big cadres are still creating these wounded soldiers, which has caused serious conflicts.
"We have been fighting for more than ten years. Not to mention those who died in the war, there are hundreds of thousands of disabled soldiers. It is impossible to arrange for so many people and we can only let them return to the countryside to live. But even if these veterans return For those in the countryside, we also sent an extra cow and horse, and at the same time we also asked the village chiefs in the countryside to take care of them so that they will not have a difficult life in the countryside!"
Xu Wei was also speechless. In fact, Daqian's treatment of injuries and illnesses was considered good. If this were the case in the Han Dynasty, the fate of these soldiers would be to be dismissed, and then they would all settle down to their destiny.
Xu Wei could only say: "Divide a piece of mountainous land in Yanshan for disabled soldiers to build orchards, and at the same time, you have people give them loans to build a fruit wine factory!"
Niu Gui nodded and said: "No!"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "There are still many disabled soldiers in Daqian. You can ask someone to discuss it. You can set up factories in various counties and counties to recruit these disabled soldiers. We don't expect these factories to make a lot of money." Just do it, as long as you can feed these soldiers!"
"At the same time, you can also discuss and see if you can introduce a policy to allow Daqian's factories to recruit some injured people according to a certain proportion!"
Niu Guiwei: "The factories in Daqian are all young and strong labor force. They are not willing to use the older ones. Although we soldiers are not old now, we are disabled after all, and it is inconvenient to move. We cannot There will be factories willing to use theirs, even if it’s a gatekeeper. They’ll only use those with sound limbs!
Then these factories are not government-run enterprises that we work for, and the court cannot directly order them. If they are forced to accept these wounded people, I am afraid that the wounded people will not live well in those factories."
Xu Weidao: "The imperial court can introduce a policy to accept the wounded in proportion to the number of wounded, which can be tax-free with those factories. I think with this policy, these big businessmen should be willing to accept some wounded."
Xu Wei seems to know that there is such a policy in modern times, which is to allow these companies to accept some disabled people and solve their employment problems. Of course, Xu Wei is skeptical about whether it has any effect, because he has also been in the factory, but he did not see it. There have been a few such people, but now they can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. With such a policy, it can at least solve the employment problem of a few people.
Niu Guidao: "No!"
However, when Xu Wei thought about it later, he still felt that it would be better to let these soldiers start their own businesses. They were all disabled and did not care about discrimination. Moreover, for Xu Wei in this era, the entrepreneurial industry was as ubiquitous as fruit trees in the sky. They are all. Not to mention that Daqian is now an era of great changes, just like the era of the opening up of the Celestial Empire. It can be said that they are almost everywhere. Even if these soldiers are wounded, they may not be able to break out with his help.
So Xu Wei thought about it and decided that he would work harder and point out a way out for these soldiers so that the rest of their lives would be better.
In the next ten days or so, Xu Wei often summoned these warriors to give them entrepreneurial guidance courses, telling them which industries had promising prospects and what their future development prospects were. At the same time, he helped them contact money shops to provide them with the funds to start their own businesses. question.
It was just that the fighting heroes who came to Jixian this time. After receiving Xu Wei's guidance, they called their friends and called all their comrades in the countryside together.
In a short period of time, more than a dozen such factories were established. These factories are usually chicken farms, duck farms, and pig farms. The breeding business in Daqian can be said to be booming, and everyone can increase their income. From a horizontal perspective, this will be a blue ocean market for decades, enough for these soldiers to support themselves, and tens of thousands of them have actually been given jobs.
Moreover, Xu Wei also gave them a large amount of forest land that was converted from farmland to forest, and asked them to set up more than a dozen orchards. These orchards can not only help the winery provide raw materials, but also improve the living standards of the people as the Age of Discovery continues to develop. With continuous improvement, there will be a huge demand for canned fruits of all kinds, and this is not technically difficult.
And when these fighting heroes come here, they don't just eat, drink and get honors. Their treatment is also determined by the Four People's Assembly. In order to reward these fighting heroes for their contribution to Daqian, the Daqian court will allocate 5,000 yuan to these fighting heroes every year. Heroes, and having this money will not only make them rich, but it will be enough to make them worry-free for the rest of their lives. After all, one stone of food in Da Da is only more than 100 yuan, and 5,000 yuan is enough to buy dozens of stones of food. A pen of food is enough to feed a family.
At the same time, under the operation of Xu Wei, the Four People's Congress also formulated a pension system for disabled soldiers. Because there were too many disabled soldiers, it was difficult for the Daqian court to provide too high a pension. After Xiangkai and the others discussed for a while, , decided to give each wounded person a welfare benefit of 20 shi of food per year, and also ordered local counties and townships to take good care of these wounded people. If there are local job vacancies, these wounded people will be given priority.
After rewarding these combat heroes and subsidizing the wounded in Daqian, it was finally the turn to reward Daqian's senior officers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Four People's Congress accumulated a lot of experience by awarding 5,000 combat heroes, so they followed this model and rewarded 500 army and Sima level commanders and demoted officers, hundreds of them Officers with the rank of captain, as well as all the generals in the army, still enjoyed the treatment of a wave of fighting heroes. They first held a meeting to tell their merits, then paraded on horseback and held a state banquet, completely following the procedures of a fighting hero! Let these heroes feel the importance and gratitude to them from the entire army!
Of course, these are just spiritual rewards. There is the most important material reward. The Four People's Congress will first appoint the 12 governors of Daqian, including Niu Gui, Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian, Wang Lei, Huang Long, Wang Yong, and Li Gang, according to the merits of each person. and generals were appointed to the rank of general. At the same time, in order to thank these generals for their contribution to the Daqian court, each of them received a reward of 1 million yuan every year.
Later, 32 generals including Liu Shi, Liu Hu, Duan Peng, Duan Yun, Song Yi, and Zhao Gui were appointed to the rank of lieutenant general. In order to thank them for their contribution to the Daqian court, each of them received a reward of 500,000 yuan every year. . Later, hundreds of major generals were promoted to military ranks, and their rewards and bonuses were 300,000.
Officers who have reached the school level are generally rewarded with 300,000 to 100,000 yuan. This money will be paid as long as they live. The bonus will be distributed to reward their contribution to the founding of the Daqian Dynasty, and the expenditure of these funds alone is almost as large as The imperial court spent 20% of its expenses every year.
But all of this was worth it to Xu Wei. Although Daqian paid a lot of money, he did not pay for privileges. It can be said that this eliminated the upcoming industrialization era, a huge mountain, and laid a solid foundation for the future development of the Daqian court. Paved the way!
Many people are happy about such rewards, but many people are also disappointed. They can accept the rewards without land, but they don't even have any privileges, which is a bit disappointing.
Of course, one million dollars is enough to make people enviable, because even today, there are still very few people who earn more than one million dollars a year. Only big businessmen like Zhen An can achieve such an income level, but their business is risky. Yes, if you have a high income today, you may not go bankrupt tomorrow, but the benefit of Niu Gui and other heroes is that they can get this 1 million every year as long as they live. From this point of view, even Zhen An would envy Niu Gui and the others, no need With hard work, you can become one of the top 100 richest people!
Such a lively military rank ceremony took more than half a month. In this meeting, the rights of the four people's representatives were greatly strengthened, because they presided over the ceremony. This made Everyone realized that the Four People's Congress was no longer a dispensable organization, but an institution that was truly one of the power centers of Daqian. Especially after Mr. Wang also became a member of the assembly, many senior officials of Daqian found that the Four People's Congress was also a dispensable organization. It can affect the direction and policy implementation of the Daqian court!
And this time the meeting to reward the meritorious officials also gathered together the senior officials of Daqian. Usually it is difficult for the senior officials of Daqian to come together from all over the world, but this is a rare time for old friends like them to get together. So many people came together. Gather to connect emotionally.
Even Xu Wei called them together to chat, communicate with these governors and governors to understand the local situation, so as to find out whether the local problems in Daqian were gone astray. And the local governors and governors also liked to report to Xu Wei Work.
Because as long as they appeal to the local government and find a solution to the problem, the government may be able to create a cornucopia of money, just like Zhang Baiqi did in Jizhou. Now the glass industry has become a pillar industry in Jizhou. Among the government-run units at the Qianzhou level, the glass factory is the most profitable, and the small treasury in Jizhou is also the richest among the 10 states in Qianzhou. He is drooling when he looks at it. Now that he has finally met the ruler, he naturally wants the ruler to help him. Solve some local development problems.
They don’t want a glass factory worth tens of billions, but it’s not an exaggeration to build a factory worth billions to solve local development problems! You can’t favor one thing over another when you’re in power!
Hearing these complaints, Xu Wei could only smile bitterly. He did not expect that so many of his subordinates would be jealous if he gave Zhang Baiqi some advice.
At this time, the development of Daqian was also extremely uneven, because the counties and counties were annexed at different times, so the degree of development and prosperity was naturally also different.
Industrial society and agricultural society are two concepts. In agricultural society, places with flat and fertile land are naturally the richest places. Just like Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, these places are the richest places in the Han Dynasty. That’s why the Central Plains has been known since ancient times. It is said that the one who conquers the world.
But it’s different in industrialized societies. Places with convenient transportation and abundant resources, the first places to develop industrialization are the richest places, because when industry develops, it will form a siphon effect on places that have not yet industrialized, making these places The local area has become the market and source of raw materials for industrialization, and has been exploited by the scissors of industrialization. Wealth flows to the areas of industrial production.
And now Daqian has somewhat of this trend. Originally, Bingzhou and Youzhou were the poorest places in the Han Dynasty, but now in the hands of Daqian, Bingzhou is the first place to start industrialization, whether it is the textile industry, steel industry, cement industry, They were all developed first. Even though factories are now being built in other places in Daqian, Bingzhou's textile industry and steel plants still account for half of the market in Daqian. And relying on these industrial products, Bingzhou is now the richest place in Daqian. Place, Mayi became the richest city in Daqian.
After Youzhou Jixian became the capital of Daqian, it also developed rapidly. Even because of Youzhou's long coastline, there are salt fields, fishing industry, whaling industry, struvite industry, and shipbuilding industry. Even now Youzhou is still In the vigorous development of textile industry and steel plants, Youzhou, which is close to the Han Dynasty to some extent, has greater development prospects and more industries than Bingzhou. The gap between the two sides is quickly closing. Everyone can see that Youzhou continues to If this development continues, it will take less than five years to seize the title of Bingzhou as the best state in the world!
In Bingzhou, the richest state after Youzhou is Jizhou. The industries developed in Youzhou are also developing in Jizhou. It is just because it is two years later than Youzhou and is suppressed by Youzhou's industries. It is not developing as fast as Youzhou. Fortunately, Jizhou has The profitable glass industry, coupled with Zhang Baiqi's initial construction of local water conservancy facilities and roads, solved the bottleneck of Jizhou's development. Now Jizhou is also rapidly pursuing Bingzhou and Youzhou to regain its first state in the world. 's name.
And places like Liaodong, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou Sili were in the hands of Daqian for a short time, and because of the years of war, the local population was sparse, and when the population was small, development would naturally be slow, especially places like Yanzhou and Yuzhou. There are not even any special products in the underworld, and the fertile land is really not an advantage to Daqian today, because there is no shortage of food in Daqian, and the price of food is not high, so it cannot be sold at a high price.
Not to mention that now the wealthy places in Daqian are absorbing their wealth, and Jizhou is asking them to get 1 stone of grain with a hoe. How will Yanzhou develop if it absorbs the wealth of Yanzhou.
Unbalanced development, coupled with states competing for funding from the central court, has led to numerous conflicts among states and counties.
