Time flies and the New Year is over. Just after the New Year, the common people are shocked by the new welfare policy promulgated by the imperial court.
It turns out that in order to prevent future generations from not knowing the importance of money and to follow the so-called public opinion and excessively distribute benefits, Zhu Youjian formulated a basic standard and wrote it directly into the law without allowing changes.
In a sense, the better the welfare, the easier it will be for the people.
But in fact, this is not the case. People's hearts are greedy, and this is how favors are promoted and hatreds are fought.
And where does the money come from, everyone knows in their hearts that the wool comes from the sheep, and the so-called high welfare comes with a price, which needs to be borne by others.
In order to avoid daimyo falling into the trap of those high welfare countries.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian formulated a corresponding welfare system.
Of course, the first step in formulating welfare is to limit the soaring prices.
After all, as we all know, rising prices mean robbing the poor and giving to the rich. After all, ordinary people don't have many assets in their hands, and prices are soaring. The rich can increase the value of their assets to ensure an increase in wealth, while ordinary people can only have their assets robbed.
Moreover, wages are a variable. As prices rise, wages may not necessarily change. At least 80% of ordinary people's wages will not change. People are not fools. Such changes will inevitably make people's lives worse and worse, and people will become more and more disappointed.
Any dynasty that chooses to do this is constantly discarding the people's support.
The current era is the best era for reform. Zhu Youjian directly banned the increase in certain prices in the form of law and directly controlled the price increase in the same period to within one percent. Only in this way can we greatly avoid robbing the poor. Rich situations happen.
After all, human greed is infinite. Once the above knows how to rob, they will not stop. What is the result of this?
This will lead to the loss of public support and lead to extravagance and waste. ,
After all, they think money is easy to come by, so they will not cherish it, and the people's wealth is robbed at every turn. If you take the wealth robbed from the people and squander it wantonly, how can the people be satisfied?
In order to avoid the emergence of people in future generations, people cannibalize people, and talk about benevolence, justice and morality, Zhu Youjian must formulate dead rules to restrict it.
Guaranteeing commodity prices means ensuring the stability of Ming Dynasty.
Only by limiting the plunder of Ming people can we avoid losing popular support.
However, the people did not pay much attention to the first article formulated by Zhu Youjian.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is still dominated by small-scale peasant economy. As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, the people can basically be self-sufficient.
After all, they have never enjoyed the fact that prices in future generations will only rise by a few percent every year. They don’t know that in ten years, a meal will cost 3 yuan, but ten years later, it will start at 10 yuan. There is no hope that ordinary people’s wages will change.
For hundreds of years, except for natural disasters when prices were guaranteed, prices in the Ming Dynasty did not soar at other times.
In addition, the people's thinking is single-minded and they do not think too long-term. This has led to many people being confused about Zhu Youjian's first article 7. After all, no matter how open it is, the circles of large and small groups are fixed. of. The common people don't know how much the rich enjoy, and the rich don't know how much the common people suffer.
In the end, the rich got richer and richer, and oppressed the common people more and more, and in the end they all became slaves to the subjugation of the country.
Some people died, but not completely...
