Chapter 376: Geographical Breadth
Since the breadth of people and geography is very large, there are a lot of things that need to be done, and although there are some things that seem useless, these useless things add up to become a very important thing.
Some of the current problems are also very serious problems, and it is also because of the cultural inclusiveness of the polar country, which leads to some things that the literati cannot understand, and since the literati cannot understand them, it may be easy to lead to some biased views when writing some opinions.
When some people or some other people see it, it is easy to generate some pressure on public opinion, and these things on public opinion have brought huge pressure to the official, which is also a shortcoming of too strong cultural inclusiveness.
When the literacy of those literati is not so high, it is easy to have some paranoid views, and there is no way to hold these views accountable, because this does not belong to the kind of things that forcibly promote things that are not good for the country.
It's just to show an idea of the country through some kind of thing, so this is also a situation that the extreme country can't control, and for a long time, the literati have asked for one thing, that is, they must be downsized, some official people must be cut, and more money will be spent on building grassroots things.
This view has been this view for a long time, and many literati have written this view in books, but it is still the same sentence, the extreme country withstood the huge pressure, and still used these people for a long time, and the number has not changed, but there is a turnover of personnel.
If this kind of thing is not done, it may not be possible to get a favorable result for them, that is, a result that is beneficial to the top.
That is to say, if the extreme country is downsized, at this time, there is some turmoil in the country, which causes some problems in law and order or some other aspects, and those literati realize that they are wrong, which is a beneficial result for the top in this regard.
But obviously there is no way to test this kind of thing, if something really happens to the temptation, the final responsibility must be the top of the extreme country, in other words, no one dares to carry out such an experiment.
If these upheavals lead to the disintegration of the country, there will be a major consequence, and there will be no chance of returning this result.
The Polar Kingdom has also realized this problem for a while, that is, this problem may have a lot of personnel, so it is going in another direction and is ready to solve this problem well.
Another solution is to increase the country's revenue, which is to increase the country's revenue without reducing personnel and maintaining stability in the country.
The solution is quite simple, but to be honest, this solution may be a little more difficult than the former.
After all, that's all the wealth of the country, and there is no way to increase it by force, and when a big pie is like this, then how can everyone get an increase in the amount of the big pie, and the state can take a part of it.
One of the best ways to do this is to make the pie bigger, and that's basically the case now, which means that in these cases, the amount of pie that can be created is so large.
The only way to do this pie is to seek it from the outside, to find a way to make it bigger, and then it involves other countries, and before other countries can react, they attract the wealth of other countries, and become a part of this pie, and distribute it to everyone, and extract certain things, as the basic things of the country, as part of the income of the property of the country.
This happened a hundred or two hundred years ago, which is why the grassroots in some countries seem to be very poor, and they also work very hard, even several times more than the ordinary people in the extreme countries, but they are not as comfortable as the people in the extreme countries.
The reason is that when other countries plundered wealth in the polar countries, they did not react at all, and this plundered wealth was silent, and this plundering of wealth was not as fierce as war, but it was more vicious than war.
It is equivalent to several nearby countries, all talking about these officials of this polar country, increasing the security of the polar country, if there is only one country in this world, then it can only be in accordance with the former method, that is, to reduce personnel, to a point where it can be maintained.
It is only said that this can be maintained, but it is still unknown whether it will be able to maintain law and order in the country.
Now the situation has become very stable, and the way of wealth plundering by the polar countries has become very transparent, but even in such a transparent situation, other countries must be willing, because some things are monopolized, monopolized by the state, and monopolized by other business houses.
As a result, other countries have to pay high prices to maintain the development of their own countries, and after plundering a certain amount of wealth, they not only fill the country's financial revenue, but also establish some grassroots facilities.
To make the security situation in some countries more stable, and the extreme country can develop into this state, the elders of the first one or two hundred years are definitely indispensable, and this kind of foresight is not available to everyone.
Although there are still literati who pay attention to this matter, that is, the establishment is too heavy, and the state must be weakened by this establishment, but now this force is getting lighter and lighter, because no one particularly cares about this situation when the living conditions are getting better and better.
Therefore, the pressure of public opinion was much less, and at that time, the extreme country made such a choice, and the former was to cut some military personnel, reduce some financial expenditures, and maintain the country's financial revenue.
Countries that do this are basically stormy for a long time, but countries that don't do so are very turbulent for a long time.
Only when the country is developing rapidly, this contradiction is not particularly prominent, when the country enters a stable development, many countries in the past will have a big contradiction, the former and the latter solutions seem to be a dead end.
Although the method adopted by the Polar Kingdom is very immoral, for all the people, this method is tantamount to saying to them that no one can say who is right and who is wrong.
As mentioned earlier, the people of some island countries have no cotton clothes to wear in winter, not even some firewood, and have no way to accept having children, so they have to go out to work to subsidize their families when they are seven or eight years old.
The book is very critical, that is, some of the inadequacies of the polar country, although the language used is very euphemistic, but it does say a factual situation.
The people of other countries may not be particularly good, anyway, as far as the grassroots people of the nearby countries are concerned, their lives are not particularly good, and they can be like the people of the extreme country, whether they are afraid of drought or flood, and they are really special, whether it is some countries around them now, or some countries in history.
The main reason is the reason for productivity, according to some data recorded in the history books, in the past, each country was basically one or two thousand people who could make a person live a very decent life.
But now, because of the support of other countries, basically twenty or thirty people can make one person live a very decent life, and although these twenty or thirty people are tired, they are still much better than those one or two thousand people.
Of course, it can also be said that one or two thousand people make a person live a very decent life, if you count the average of some surrounding countries, it is just that this molecule is concentrated in a certain country.
Take this mall as an example, ordinary people don't even want to enter, if it is people from other countries, it is some rich and noble families who enter.
But now the people of the extreme country, when they see such a place, they can go in and have a little look, and they can also buy a little something, and such a thing is not a necessary thing, it may just say that some children want, or it may be their own wife wants, that is to say, this kind of thing does not affect the quality of life, if an ordinary person can buy such a thing in the country, it means that the people of this country are living very well.
It is not uncommon to see some people dressed in ordinary people's clothes and a child to play inside, and in an environment with relatively low production efficiency in the north, it is very, very good to be able to do such a thing.
The production efficiency is low, the contribution rate of grain is not high, and a big reason for being able to achieve such a point is that the state has issued money.
When the state distributes money, it does not give money directly, but asks some ordinary people to do some work, and then gives the money to them through these jobs, so that they can get a little richer and live a little life, that is, in the end, a large part of this money will still return to the hands of the state.
A small part is used to improve life, but this small part of improving life has made the whole people very favorable.
As for what kind of work, it is basically some grassroots work, such as building roads, bridges, houses, digging caves, mining, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, will gather a large number of ordinary people, so that they can be paid a certain amount of money when they work.
Not only can it add some grass-roots buildings, but it also allows the people to get a certain amount of money, and when they get it, most of the time they will spend it.
For example, buying some clothes, buying some food and drink, for your children to go to school, a large part of these things are controlled by the state, even if they are not controlled by the state, a large amount of taxes will be collected, then the money will still return to the state.
Of course, it is still the same sentence, that is, most of it will return to the hands of the state, and a small part of it will improve life in their hands.
For a long time, if the revenue of the government was too much and the harvest of the common people was not particularly good, some roads were basically built, some were repaired, and some were built new roads.
Therefore, the grassroots buildings of the polar country are very strong for this reason, if there is really no work, then find a mountain to open the mountain first, sell these stones to other countries, and it happens to be regarded as the state to make money, use the national level to make money, and then give part of this money to the people.
When we increase some finances, we can also increase the income of some common people, and most of them adopt this method, so the people now have more or less money in their hands, but they can't give too much, and if they give too much, they will not have the motivation to carry out agricultural production.
