If Rome had this kind of thinking, even if Severus went too far in raising troops, Rome would never collapse in just twenty years. However, it is obvious that this kind of thinking is beyond the times, and Rome does not have it at all, so even after listening to Chen Xi The data can only leave tears of envy.
After all, this is something that requires a lot of time and experience, which Rome does not have at all.
What's more, Chen Xi's population can hardly support this kind of large-scale industrial layout. The population of Rome, why not talk about how to use barbarians to work more efficiently and quickly?
It seems that any country that has done this in history, even if it suppresses the barbarians for a short period of time, will eventually collapse due to the uneven distribution of the main ethnic groups. It depends on whether the death is ugly or not.
Of course, the aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty were not interested in understanding the mentality of the Roman observers, and the interpreters were too lazy to care about what the Romans thought after listening. Chen Xi still has a lot of content that needs to be explained, so let’s go over it one by one, and let the vested interests know first. Stakeholders see something of greater benefit.
"As of now, there are more than 40 million native people in the Han Dynasty, including about 34 million adults, and 28 million people who can be used as strong laborers." Chen Xi explained quietly, he did not want to use rhetoric or anything like that. , data can best reflect the problem and be the most understandable.
"Among the current 28 million people, less than 30% have formal jobs during the slack period." Chen Xi sighed, "Currently, the average monthly salary for working in the county is 650 baht when food and accommodation are included. The money, not including food and accommodation, is about 800 to 950 baht.”
These data just don’t sound interesting, but when combined with commodity prices, it becomes obvious. A pig costs about 900 yuan, and an adult sheep also costs about the same price. A piece of silk cloth, which is more than 30 meters long, costs about 500 yuan. Money, generally speaking, if you work all year round, you can not only support yourself, but also the whole family.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi is crazy about infrastructure construction, because there were not so many places to work during the Han Dynasty. Even though Chen Xi has basically not increased the salary of working people except stabilizing the currency value and adjusting some unreasonable prices, this salary is currently only I mean, it's actually pretty good.
If you convert it to today, let's take that pig. If you convert it to today, a 200 kilogram pig will produce 150 kilograms of meat, which is about a salary of more than 5,000 yuan.
In fact, this ratio is generally reasonable. The problem is that there are not many jobs in the Han Dynasty that can provide such a salary.
In ancient times, many jobs that did not require skills were monopolized, which gave rise to the so-called Caobang and Yaxing. It was difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to make money. Chen Xi relied on infrastructure construction. , which drives business development.
Stacking up infrastructure, calculating year-end settlements, and over-issuance will drive business prosperity. After all, creating a job worth an average of 10,000 yuan per year can drive business expenses of several thousand yuan per year, thereby promoting the overall industry. The problem now is Stuck here.
After Chen Xi created about two million semi-state-owned jobs and about six million rural and leisure infrastructure jobs, Chen Xi could not create more jobs himself.
On average, the average per capita of these eight million jobs is about 9,000 yuan, which is about 75 billion in salary expenditures. Even if it is an industry that supports people, there is actually a certain profit, and these profits Taken away by Chen Xi, it was about 20 billion.
Not to mention the countless industries that have been revitalized. The simplest point is that in the past, no one ate out or set up food stalls. They all ate at home and rarely went out to restaurants. But since the income has reached this level, in order to save trouble, people eat outside have eaten.
Making clothes also takes time and depends on your own skills. I might as well go to work and then buy them. Anyway, it’s a question of input-output ratio.
It can be said that this is Chen Xi's limit. The next 20 million adults who can work will not have access to work. What can Chen Xi say? Chen Xi has no choice.
This is the same problem as in the future, there are still 600 million people in the country whose monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan, and nearly one billion people whose income is less than 2,000 yuan. If the monthly income of these billion people is raised to 4,000 yuan, it will stimulate the industry But it is much more effective than continuing to improve the people above, because some of the things these people need are directly needed.
Which things sell best in this world are undoubtedly products that are urgently needed.
Chen Xi is currently facing the same situation. Theoretically speaking, the strongest among these billion people will not be able to carry bricks to this level.
However, the more question is, who gives this opportunity to move bricks? Sorry, let alone one billion people, there are not 100 million jobs in China. This is the reality.
The so-called income problem is directly related to the employment problem. How to place these people of appropriate age to work. In fact, from a logical point of view, any job with low technical requirements can be picked up by normal people after certain training.
And any job that can be called a job cannot cost less than 2,000 yuan. The problem is that there are not so many jobs for you to serve.
This is very helpless, so how to create jobs and how to arrange more people for employment is simply a fatal problem.
The solution to this problem has been there from the beginning, but if you want to implement it after the stage, you cannot implement it. This is no longer a problem of poverty alleviation, but a problem of resource allocation and production relations.
Chen Xi understands this and the root of the problem, but Chen Xi wants to solve this problem for a simple reason. Most of the population is hanging around there. If he wants to increase the GDP, it is no longer possible to rely on people with 90%. It is better to find a way Pull those guys from ten to sixty.
At least the latter has improved enough, and there are more people in the latter.
The so-called boosting domestic demand and the so-called increase in gross domestic product have reached the ceiling. It is already difficult to rely on those at the front. The productivity increased by the scientific and technological revolution is too difficult, so at this time we must start from other directions.
For example, Chen Xi's idea now is to drag out the people who currently account for more than half of the Han Dynasty, who have nothing to do except farming, and whose annual income mainly consists of grain output, so that they can have work during the slack season. .
This can not only break through the current ceiling, but also increase people's happiness and stimulate more industries. It is a truly profitable thing. But the problem is that every step of this matter is a trap. To what extent is it a trap for everyone? You know the direction, but who is the first to strike?
"We will use Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Yongzhou as the initial pilot projects to carry out the layout of the underlying industries in the villages." Chen Xi said slowly. Merging villages and merging villages and laying out the industries in the villages will only take this path in the end. Infrastructure has its limits after all. , is only a catalyst for development, and the reactants depend on these.
The whole audience was whispering, and the sound transmission was so disturbed that one person might join ten groups, and the chat was almost to the point of death.
"That's almost enough. Let Chen Hou explain it." Liu Tong knocked on a few items and ordered with a cold expression, "There are also palace gate guards to bring back the two people outside the door."
Sun Ce and Ma Chao don't have to listen to the previous content, because the impact is not big and it is already an established reality. But what follows is the development in the next five years. Even Liu Tong cannot deprive these two idiots of their right to listen. So the two guys who once again misbehaved before the king were brought back.
Sun Ce and Ma Chao were forced to a corner by the palace guard with a face on their faces. Of course, the position in the front cannot be given to you anymore. You can squat in the back.
"Actually, there is nothing to explain about this. The reason is very simple. To collect taxes, at least there must be people who can pay taxes. People only have income from fields, so they only need to pay some land taxes and money to count as taxes. It is impossible to spend As for money in other aspects, you can't ask people whose annual income is less than 1,500 yuan to pay you 2,000 yuan." Chen Xi said matter-of-factly.
Everyone nodded, and then Yuan Shu jumped out, "Hey, this statement is wrong. I have met people who had no money to borrow money to gamble before."
"Can I apply for Tingwei to drag him to prison? I found a guy who harmed the people and ruined his happy family." Chen Xi suggested to Liu Tong with a dark face.
Man Chong expressed his willingness to help. Liu Tong thought about it and asked the palace guards to forcibly move Yuan Shu to the previous corner, and also forcibly move Liu Zhang who wanted to talk away.
After moving the troublemakers to a corner behind a certain pillar in the Vientiane Shrine, Liu Tong knocked on a few boxes to signal Chen Xi to continue.
"Although the possibility mentioned by Marquis Xuancheng also exists, everyone knows that the government is forcing the people to rebel. If the country is playing like this and cannot survive, then how can you still sit here?" Chen Xi said angrily, and all the heads of the aristocratic families The man smiled, they were not a fool like Yuan Shu, who would be crazy to do this.
"So from a practical point of view, how much tax can be collected depends on how much the people can earn, so we need to let the people make as much money as possible." Chen Xi said that he had stunned this group of aristocratic families. This was really too much. It makes sense, at least there is no need to refute it.
"Just take..." Chen Xi scanned the families across the street and found that they were all obedient, so it was difficult to give an example, "The common people only have one thousand cash, no matter how hard we go, they can only pay five hundred cash at most. If he can't survive any longer, he will have to fight the Han Dynasty, right?"
"But if we use some method to make the people's income reach 5,000, and we take away half of it, although the people feel distressed, most of them can think about it, and as long as we are reasonable, the people will not think that we are taking their lives. , This is no problem." Chen Xi looked at the major families and said with a smile, and they all nodded.
"If the 20 million farming people can earn 600 per person per month like the other 8 million, the national tax cannot be doubled?" Chen Xi said with some inducement.
