"Why?"
"Because I'm afraid of being recognized." Zhu Jun said with a bitter smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, "Are you showing off to us?"
At this time, Xie Jin on the side said: "His Highness goes down every few days to see the new immigrants, so many people who come and go have seen and know His Highness.
Over time, if His Highness does not cover up, he will definitely be recognized.
Once recognized, these people will surround you, and by that time, you will not be able to leave at all. "
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Jun and knew that this was because he cared about the people. Ordinary emperors lived in temples every day and could not see the suffering of the world.
It is even rarer to be well known by the common people.
The group left Weihai Palace and arrived in Wendeng County not long after.
At this time, the general outline of the new town in Wendeng County has been completed, with an area more than ten times that of the old town of Wendeng.
There are newly renovated houses on both sides of the neat road.
Zhu Yuanzhang was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, asking questions all the way.
"What's this?"
“This is a maternal and child health hospital, specially opened for pregnant women and young children, with the best pediatricians and gynecologists in the country.
Not far away, Weihai Hospital is a comprehensive hospital. "Zhu Jun said: "Further forward, there is Weihai Wei Medical University, which currently has 600 medical students studying there. Next to it is the Medical School, which is an exclusive school for nurses. "
It can be seen from these schools that Zhu Jun attaches great importance to education, rather than just talking about slogans.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and saw the huge statue located in the center of the new city, "Is that... us?"
"Well, this is the central square of the county. People all over the city like to come here." Zhu Jun pointed ahead. Even during the day, there were many people here, including people playing chess, selling agricultural products, and even Zhu Jun A road was also built nearby for these people to sell goods.
The children were running all over the street with candied haws and windmills in their hands, and it was indescribably lively.
Zhu Yuanzhang got off the carriage and felt the local customs.
"There aren't many people living in this new city, right?"
"Well, it's true that there aren't many. Apart from some people with special skills, there are more wealthy businessmen who come to invest here!"
"Where are those farmers? You arrange them all in the countryside?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Shouldn't they be treated equally?"
"Dad, there are many people who came here to escape with their families. They don't have any skills. Many of them are not literate and don't even have a name.
I can't drive away these miserable people when they come, but if they come to the city, they don't have any skills. They can indeed make money by working hard, but they won't live well.
Most of these people in the city are scholars who have a certain skill or are literate. The house does not belong to them. Instead, they have signed a fifteen-year contract and have worked locally for fifteen years. The house belongs to them.
These people don't have to worry about whether they can survive. They will make a good income no matter what they do.
As for those common people, I arranged them to live in the countryside, establish townships and villages, set up records according to households, and have land. No matter what, they can feed their families by farming.
Moreover, Weihaiwei does not collect grain taxes, does not allow land sales, and does not allow affiliations, so they can survive no matter what.
Moreover, the palace has the task of poverty alleviation.
Just like in Fengyang, rural cooperatives are established to help these people get rid of poverty.
If you don't believe it, let's go over there and see in a moment. These people are living quite well. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Fang Xiaozhi on the side couldn't help but said: "These are nothing, there are also some old people who are suffering from illness and have nothing to live on. These people's medical treatment is paid by the Wu Prince's Mansion. After a month, it costs at least ten thousand taels of silver." ."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Can you hold on?"
"We have to hold on even if we can't hold on. And when the security system is established, the pressure will be much less."
"Guarantee system, what guarantee system?" Zhu Yuanzhang became even more curious after hearing a new word.
"It's the social security system." Zhu Jun explained, "It's like these farmers seeing a doctor. The reason why they don't look down on seeing a doctor is because it's expensive. So when they get sick, they find some herbal medicine by themselves. Some people even carry it. .
A minor illness becomes a serious illness, and a serious illness disappears immediately.
In order to put an end to this situation, I got a medical insurance. I only need to pay a few dozen coins every year, and the Yamen and Prince Wu's Mansion can cover half of the money. This can greatly reduce the pressure on the people.
"Can you cover all kinds of diseases?"
"Well, for now, yes." Zhu Jun nodded.
If Zhu Yuanzhang can't say a single sentence, what's the point of dozens of articles?
Even if you work hard, it's just a day's income.
Use one day's income to sell the future. No matter how you look at it, this transaction is cost-effective.
If there are elderly people in the family who are in poor health, it is definitely a good deal to buy a medical insurance.
It does not make it difficult for them to afford medical treatment, and they also receive affordable subsidies, which is indeed a good thing.
After all, no matter how rich the Weihai Palace is, it is impossible to give everyone free money, which will bring down the Weihai Palace sooner or later.
“In addition, there is social pension insurance, which is a service developed by Sihai Bank.
You need to pay a certain amount of money every year. After you turn fifty, you can receive a certain pension every month with the stub.
The more money paid upfront, the higher the pension. "
The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more interesting he became, "However, it has to be paid for fifteen years, and there are too many variables in it."
“Can’t they even afford to live for fifteen years?” Zhu Jun said: “Moreover, the longer the payment years, the higher the monthly subsidy, which is also a guarantee.
Of course, it is not mandatory whether you want to pay or not, it depends on the individual.
Judging from the current situation, there are still many people who are relatively enlightened, and the number of people who have paid so far has exceeded 3,000.
This can also relieve financial pressure for us.
Like road construction, the medical system is actually free.
However, money expenditure remains unchanged. In the future, these expenses will slowly be borne by the people. However, this tax is included in daily consumption and will not be too heavy. "
"I thought you really exempted yourself from taxes completely!"
"Dad, if the domain is to run healthily, it is impossible to continue to provide money. As the number of people in the domain increases, more and more money is consumed.
No matter how much money I make, I can't feed five or six million people!
Besides, as long as there is a qualitative change in people's lives, this is also a good thing.
But if it remains the same as before, and the people bear heavy taxes and live a difficult life, then my change will be false and fake! "
