691 welfare stereotype 2
This second welfare article written into the law quickly aroused heated discussion among the people, and many people recognized Zhu Youjian from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, we are now in a feudal society. Without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the annual yield per mu in the south is only more than 400 kilograms.
In the north, it only weighs more than 200 kilograms if it is stretched to death.
There is a huge gap between the starting weight of 500 pounds and the starting weight of later generations in the north.
Insufficient output, coupled with the disadvantages of tools, made agricultural development difficult.
Making food the biggest problem for the people.
Although the older imperial court would give certain subsidies in the past, after all, it was just an act of kindness by His Majesty and was not written into the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It may be canceled at any time. Now that it is written into the law, it cannot be changed.
It cannot be sidelined, it is a given, it is a foundation and a stable guarantee for the people of the world. In this way, how can the people be unhappy?
After all, although there is a family and an elder, if there is a saying that there is a treasure, coupled with the current social atmosphere, those immoral people are worse than animals.
But it is undeniable that the elderly in the family are often a burden to the family.
Now the elderly have a set of benefits, which, among other things, can at least relieve the pressure at home.
After all, not everyone is rich and does not need this one thing.
However, what the common people did not notice, or rather saw, did not pay much attention to was that these additional subsidies can only be received by couples who have given birth to two children.
That's right, Zhu Youjian is thinking about the future from now on.
After all, with the development of science and technology, the people are being squeezed more and more. People who know some things will be willing to be squeezed, and the fertility rate will naturally decrease gradually.
But no one cares about it now. After all, this year's emphasis is on having more children and grandchildren, and bringing more blessings. If a family has fewer children, they may be looked down upon by the neighbors, and may even be bullied.
The third benefit that followed made people confused.
It simply stated that if those who went out to work had no jobs, they could be fed and clothed in the dormitories provided by the court for three months.
Although there is no charge, people here must participate in a community activity every ten days for three months.
If you don't find a job within 3 months, you will be evicted.
Despite the development of the times, many jobs will inevitably be replaced by machines. Jobs are in the future. There must be a shortage.
But this can be solved through government regulation.
There is no problem in providing people with the most basic guarantees. There is also no problem in providing basic guarantees to those who are elderly or physically unfit for work. And Zhu Youjian sincerely looks down on those who are young, have hands and feet, and do nothing.
In order to avoid the birth of lazy people, Zhu Youjian deliberately set restrictions.
After all, under normal circumstances, if you really want to find a job, 3 months is enough time.
Moreover, the country’s taxes are all the people’s hard-earned money. Why should the people’s hard-earned money be used to support those lazy people? qsΝε
The reason why the people are confused is that the Ming Dynasty is still mainly small workshops with family guards.
