As long as the money is available, most people are willing to work hard without complaint, and most officials are willing to be the masters of the sky.
Su Wan used to think that most officials only received salaries, and everyone lived a pretty good life, but there was no such thing as wealth. It turned out that she was wrong. It turned out that they also had year-end performance bonuses, and this was the big one.
Su Wan suddenly thought of Jiubian again. She remembered that Jiubian ran shops outside the city, and 30% of the profits were given to him. As for how much he kept for himself and how much he gave to his subordinates, that is It's his business, this is a share for managers.
Since Jiubian has money, others should also have money.
It feels a bit like the company's management sharing system. If you manage well and perform well, you will be given more.
But in this way, there are really many rich people in Licheng, especially those who are officials. After a few years of being an official, you can save a lot of money. There are more rich people and people who can buy good things. There are more, and the business of various luxury goods in Licheng has also become better.
For this reason, it is difficult to do ordinary necessities business outside the city, but the business of wealthy people is pretty good, and many private individuals have made a fortune by opening shops and factories.
Counting this way, there are quite a few rich people.
In terms of the system, Su Wan doesn't think there is anything that needs to be modified. She doesn't understand this, and the people here are really living a pretty good life. Everyone has enough food, clothing, and housing to live in, which is already pretty good. No more, no more can be forced.
Even in other aspects, many are doing well, such as childbirth. Licheng had already properly controlled the population a hundred years ago, and a couple could only have three children at most.
If they exceed this amount, they will not only have to pay a fine, but they will not have a share in any public position, even as a waiter in a restaurant. As a result, they will either have to work in private shops or factories, or they will have to go to the countryside to farm. .
So even if someone has an opinion, they must abide by this rule.
Even in terms of medical treatment, pharmacies and pharmacies are owned by the public, and the doctors there are all public officials. From the annual harvest in Licheng, a sum of money will be allocated according to the conditions of each place. This is for The subsidies for people’s medical treatment are used.
Therefore, the cost of medical treatment is not expensive for ordinary people, and there are very few families who cannot afford medical treatment.
In terms of construction, Licheng has gone through more than two hundred years of construction, and many roads have been opened up. Although there are no cement roads, the roads are wide and stable, and they are not bad.
As for things like machines, Su Wan read through a lot of information and found that Licheng had no intention of developing in this direction. Steam engines did not even exist.
Su Wan thought about it carefully and probably understood that it was because of the environment.
In the early days of industrial development, much of it was at the expense of the environment. This era is not a modern society. Some people have already developed. If you cannot develop, you will be beaten if you fall behind.
Li Cheng did not have the fate of being beaten, and he did not want to lead the world on this path and accelerate the development of the world, so there was no such development direction.
Su Wan had a lot of things written and crossed out on this piece of paper. After thinking about it over and over, she didn't think of anything that needed improvement. After all, they had been trying for two hundred years, and even if they needed to be improved, they were pretty much the same.
Li Lin looked at a bunch of things she had written and crossed out, and smiled: "Why, you can't think of anything?"
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You seem to be very happy?"
"Of course." If she couldn't find any faults, it meant that many of them were already perfect.
He sat down aside and rubbed his thumb on the words on the paper.
Su Wan said: "Actually, I think it's pretty good now. As long as the people live well, that's fine."
It is impossible to distribute social wealth equally to everyone. It is the status quo that a small number of people control most of the wealth.
And even if it is given, people can get so much money without doing anything. It is easy to make people lazy and unwilling to do anything, just waiting to be divided.
If so, who will do the work? Where does the money come from?
Therefore, things like wealth can only be achieved through personal hard work.
As for ordinary people who do not have a job that can make a living, but have certain guarantees of food, clothing, housing and transportation, have a place where they can get treatment when they are sick, and have a place where they can redress their grievances and seek justice when they encounter injustices, it is already very good.
Moreover, Licheng also provides support for the elderly and children. Children will receive certain subsidies based on their age before they are eighteen years old. The elderly will also enjoy half of the public support at the age of fifty, and the remaining half is the responsibility of their children.
There are subsidies for studying, and it does not cost much money. If it were the Eastern Zhao, Southern Qin and Western Wei, there would be many illiterate people, but here in Licheng, basically everyone has gone to school, and many of them have a certain skill, regardless of gender.
Su Wan also paid special attention to the service attitude.
In the 1960s and 1970s, many workers felt that they were superior and that they were workers who received wages and ate commercial food. The most shocking attitude was the attitude of those working in state-owned hotels, department stores, and supply and marketing cooperatives.
These problems do not exist in Licheng. The first lesson in the service industry is to have a good attitude towards customers. If you make too many mistakes, you will be fired.
Su Wan has been to many restaurants and teahouses these days, as well as many shops, both public and private. The service attitude in the stores is very good, and they are polite when seeing ordinary people coming in to buy things.
Su Wan thought to herself that even if she wanted to find fault, there seemed to be nothing left to pick.
She leaned back in her chair, poked the paper on the desk with her pen, and suggested: "Why don't you tell me what's wrong? I'll give you a solution. Maybe I just know it." ?”
When Li Lin heard this, he thought it was a good idea, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out what went wrong, so he said, "How about this. If you encounter any shortcomings, just mention them. If I feel bad about anything, I’ll come and ask you for advice.”
"That's fine."
The couple discussed it and put the matter aside for the time being, but since it was a matter that they didn't have to worry about for the time being, the matter of Su Wan opening a study room was also brought up. Li Lin took his wife and children to visit several courtyards.
The shops used for business outside the city are all public-owned and must be rented for private use. However, there are also many houses facing the street that are private. If they are used for business, no rent is required, but taxes still have to be paid.
