Linshui Village, in the study room of the lord's villa.
Xia Duo continued to look at the territorial household registration statistical report. In addition to the people who had been granted land, most of the formal people who had not received land were concentrated in the Development Department, and some were in other departments of the territory.
Generally speaking, for an ordinary person without any skills, the easiest place in the territory to accumulate merit is the Development Department. As long as you are willing to work, you can accumulate merit, and the basic merit is slightly higher than other departments.
Of course, if you have skills and even the ability to make outstanding contributions, then you are not limited to the Development Department. At present, after several years of development and improvement, the Territory Development Department is basically unlikely to make any outstanding contributions.
There are only the most stable basic merits here.
Those with special skills, such as stonemasons, carpenters, masons, and even breeders, nurserymen, magic technicians, etc. who have received territorial training and re-skilled, are more likely to obtain achievements beyond the basics.
Or maybe the children in the family strive for success and continuously obtain excellent results in the weekly and monthly apprenticeship examinations in the Tower of Time, which can also add merit to the family.
Land granting is not done on an individual basis, but on a family basis. Of course, the specific amount of land allocated is related to the number of people in the family at the time of the land granting ceremony.
Basically, as long as two people from a family participate in the development, they are qualified to be granted land grant, and merit corresponds to the additional gold coin rewards that can be obtained during the land grant ceremony.
At present, the territory that has received the most extra gold coin rewards is more than 9,000 gold coins, which is more than twice as much as the second place. The reason is that the family has nine members. The couple has five children, two of whom are adults and married. wife.
The three younger ones entered the Tower of Time one after another, and two of them became official mages within two years, and the remaining one is expected to be about the same.
As for the two children who failed to enter the Tower of Time, the wife of one of them improved the territory's weaving technology, and the other was selected into the territory's nursery training program and is studying (magic and agriculture) with Druid Elder Atwood. .
Such a family can almost be said to be a legendary family, so it can have the exaggerated result of awarding more than nine thousand gold coins when the land is granted.
Other families generally have around 1,000 to 2,000 people. A small number of people with extra merit can break through 3,000 or 4,000 people. Only one family has more than 5,000 people.
…
If the formal citizens at least still had a choice, then the preparatory citizens, including those who joined the territory in 839 and became official citizens, basically had no choice.
As the population of the territory gradually increases and the manpower of various departments gradually becomes sufficient, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to recruit new people. Basically, only the Development Department is still recruiting new people without restrictions.
As for formal subjects, although their names are official and their rights are the same, as long as they have not been granted land, they cannot actually be the same as those who have been granted land.
At least others have a few thousand gold coins more than you, and each of them has ten acres of land.
In theory, all formal citizens can be granted land, but in practice, a certain amount of merit is still required. After all, the first people to be granted land are old people who have followed Xia Duo to develop from scratch for two or three years. .
Although the development progress of latecomers continues to increase with the increase in the number of territorial citizens, until now, the 100,000 new territorial citizens who joined earlier this year and the more than 200,000 new territorial citizens who are about to join, even if they do not participate in the development, the territory is still capable Provide them with the land they need for farming.
But if there is no difference, how can we reflect the valuable efforts of the early pioneers?
Unconditional granting of land will chill the old people who followed Xia Duo in the early days, and will also subvert the past order of land development and granting. This is the most direct and simple reason, so even if you are a formal citizen, you must meet the threshold if you want to be allocated land.
Of course, as long as you become an official territorial citizen, you will still receive a lot of basic benefits, such as compulsory education, territorial training plan, joining the Government Affairs Office, the Public Security Bureau, the territorial guard, etc.
Currently, there are still a large number of unexplored unclaimed lands around the Great Xia Territory. Xia Duo does not want to stop the process of land granting for the time being. In his simple understanding, those who have permanent property have perseverance, and there is nothing more permanent than land.
As long as conditions permit, he will provide each territory citizen with enough land to support themselves, eliminating the worries of the territory people's survival. Even if he cannot provide land in the future, he will provide basic living materials, so that the territory people do not have to be trapped in survival. And have spare energy to pursue higher-level development.
This approach may produce a lot of people within the civilization who are content with lying down, or they can be said to be worms, or degenerates, but again, as long as these people do not violate the code, Xia Duo can be tolerant, and the civilization is tolerant enough.
For those who are content to lie down, Xia Duo will not complain. He will only feel sorry for them, missing the best development opportunities in the best of times.
Of course, if he couldn't even provide everyone with basic living necessities, Xia Duo wouldn't have the shame to talk about territory development, let alone the wisdom of civilization.
…
Compared with the territorial household registration statistics report, Xia Duo was more concerned about the progress of the civilian use of magic in the territory. Leiden used a separate row of bookshelves to store this part of the paperwork.
After reading other summary materials, Xia Duo moved to the row of bookshelves and picked up a document from the top row. The title read——
"Ten Measures of the Government Affairs Department on Encouraging and Supporting Territory Citizens to Purchase Magic Stoves (to be discussed)"!
Magic lamps have become popular, so there can be no obstacles to the development of magic stoves. Although the development of magic stoves is more difficult than magic lamps, when there is a standard starter, it is nothing more than a cost issue.
The magic lamp is priced at 10 gold coins. It is still profitable after labor is deducted, but the magic lamp is more of a public facility. Even if it is purchased and used by the citizens themselves, it is actually more of an infrastructure attribute.
But the magic stove is different. Not only is the price high, but the demand for magic lamps is not as strong. Currently, most of the territorial residents do not have formal stoves. In addition, the territorial canteen is open 24 hours a day. They don't even cook at home.
It is also said that the territory is still being developed at a rapid pace, and the wood cannot be used at all. Most of the trunks are still there, and the miscellaneous branches alone will be enough to burn for a long time, not to mention that Xia Duo has planned a fast-growing forest near the new village for a rainy day.
Although most of them cannot be used now, there is not a small amount of crop straw harvested every year, which can basically cover the daily needs of every household.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine how difficult it is to promote magic stoves.
The people who have been granted land have money in their hands, but most of them come from poor times. If they buy magic lamps, they can be used for studying at night, but what about the magic stove?
It’s not a necessity. Who dares to spend money randomly? That’s not how money is made.
Most of the ten measures in the Government Affairs Department document are indirect guidance, and only one is direct subsidy. The method is simple and crude - with the magic stove purchase voucher, you can get annual passes corresponding to the number of family members in the vegetable market under the Territory Logistics Department.
Within a year, you can receive a certain amount of vegetables and meat with your ticket every day without spending any money.
The cheapest basic magic stove costs 200 gold coins, but the annual cost for families to purchase ingredients for their own cooking is more than 200 gold coins. In fact, it is equivalent to the Government Affairs Department spending money to give away magic stoves.
"No wonder it's still up for discussion!"
Lying down in reality is not actually lying down, nor is it qualified to lie down. It is more like a silent resistance of the weak. If you don't work, you won't even be able to eat something hot. You only have the right to do your job as a resistance. This is what is called Lying flat, you are actually still being highly exploited
In the imaginary era of distribution based on demand, real people may be born, but the civilization at that time is enough to tolerate them. In fact, such people may not really appear. When most physiological needs are met, naturally You will want to pursue higher-level needs. If you don't have enough to eat, you won't even be qualified to talk about ideals.
