For the situation of Yuanqi Bank, Su Shun has done a detailed investigation and understanding, the top stock system as a very important system of Yuanqi Bank, he will naturally not be unfamiliar, the top stock originated from the Jin merchant ticket number, in the hands of Yuanqi Bank to further improve, with the rise of Yuanqi's fame, the top stock system has now been adopted by many enterprises in Europe and the United States.

He said a little depressedly: "The top stock system does work well, but it is fundamentally different from the retirement and pension system. ”

Xie Xiuyuan has been following Yi Zhizhi at the beginning of the establishment of Yuanqi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Yi Zhizhi's right-hand man.

"The retirement system and the pension system, I have heard the big treasurer mention ......." Xie Xiuyuan said slowly: "A series of systems implemented by the factories and mining enterprises under the name of Yuan Qi, such as the "Sickness Insurance System", "Work-related Injury Insurance System", "Retirement System", "Pension System", etc., are commonly known as the social welfare security system.

The purpose is to strengthen the human rights, safety and livelihood of workers, so as to speed up and promote the industrial development of our country, attract a large number of peasants to leave the land and enter the factories, and attract a large number of new graduates to enter the factories. ”

After opening the conversation, he simply said more thoroughly, "The development of industry in England was through the 'enclosure movement' to drive a large number of peasants into the factories, while the United States obtained a large number of cheap labor for the factories by emancipating black slaves, and Russia was no exception, through the abolition of serfdom.

There are neither black slaves nor serfs in our country, and because of continuous expansion and natural and man-made disasters, the contradictions caused by the high concentration of land, which were already very acute, have also been alleviated. The only way to start is to raise workers' wages and protect their human rights and livelihoods.

Because these social welfare and security systems have been implemented and enforced, the status and treatment of workers are significantly better than those of peasants and ordinary traders and officials, so peasants, students, and retired officers and soldiers are eager to work in factories, and factories are not at all worried about not having enough workers. ”

Originally, in order to ensure that there were enough workers to promote industrial development, Su Shun pondered for a while before saying: "How can the workers obtained through this method not be regarded as cheap labor?" ”

"It's not just cheap labor that can develop industry." Xie Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper didn't seem to think about getting cheap workers from the beginning. ”

Su Shun was puzzled: "Why is this?" Isn't cheap labor more conducive to the rapid development of industry? As far as I know, most of the workers recruited by Shanghai's industry at the beginning were disaster victims. ”

Seeing that he kept asking, Xie Xiuyuan took out a cigarette case and lit a cigarette, and then said slowly: "The big shopkeeper said that China's industry started late and its military strength is weak, so it is impossible to rob overseas colonies and open up overseas markets like England, so we must be based on the domestic market, because our country itself has the largest population in the world."

A large population does not mean that the market is large, and the poor have no purchasing power, so we must make the people rich and have strong purchasing power, so that our country can become the world's largest market, even if it is only based on the domestic market, China's industry can also develop rapidly. ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile: "China's industrial development has actually taken a different path from Western countries from the beginning. ”

Hearing this, Su Shun couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm afraid the prince won't think of it, but in just forty years, the Qing Dynasty has been able to compete with England, and has enough strength to compete for overseas colonies and open up overseas markets." ”

Xie Xiuyuan turned his head and glanced at him, and said: "The big shopkeeper said that with the successive development of industries in Western countries, the competition for overseas colonies will become more and more fierce, and our country must avoid the outbreak of war with Western countries for colonies in the early stage. ”

Su Shun said with some surprise: "Is this going to stop the expansion?" ”

"It should be." Xie Xiuyuan nodded slightly, "For the Qing Dynasty, this is an extremely rare opportunity to expand in South Africa, but the big shopkeeper has given up, obviously not planning to continue to expand." ”

If you don't continue to expand, you can live in peace for at least a few years. Su Shun leaned back, comfortably leaning on the back of the wooden chair and enjoying the warmth of spring, Yi Yi will step down this year, and the next prime minister will be taken over by him, this matter is already a certainty, Yi Zhixiang personally promised something, there can be no change.

But what can he do when he takes over? He is not Yi Yi, if he can't have an outstanding performance that satisfies Yi Zhi, he may only be able to serve as the prime minister for one term, and he believes that after him, this prime minister will no longer have anything to do with the royal family, or even with the Manchurians, whether it is for his own sake, or for the sake of the clan nobles and Manchurians, he should strive for more than one term.

The spring sun is very warm, shining on the body is warm and sleepy, but Su Shun's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, he has already thought of the first fire in office, "Go, go to the palace." ”

Yi Zhicontent was not in the palace, but accompanied Huang Dianyuan to Baoshan, and along the way, more and more familiar people around him disappeared in the long river of history, and he also left a lot of regrets.

He knew very well that Huang Dianyuan's body was deteriorating, and this time in Shanghai was very likely to be the last time he would see him, and he wanted to take time to walk around and see more with him, in order to leave no regrets.

After 40 years of continuous development, Baoshan has become the largest and most concentrated industrial zone in the Qing Dynasty, and now it has been faintly connected with Shanghai.

In the back row of the car, looking at the factories, chimneys such as forests, shuttle carriages, board cars, manpower inverted bucket cars and bustling people, Huang Dianyuan said with emotion: "When Guocheng first took over as Shanghai Daotai, it was still a barren place, who would have thought that it would become like this now." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said with a smile: "President Huang doesn't know, as soon as the big shopkeeper arrived in Shanghai, he transferred funds to buy all the fields and even barren beaches from Shanghai to Baoshan. ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "At the beginning, I bought land not only to make money, but to facilitate unified planning, besides, the money spent on the construction of Shanghai and Baoshan over the years was spent from the profits from land sales. ”

"That's why Brother Guocheng has such a long-term vision." Huang Dianyuan said with a smile: "I have also traveled to a lot of places over the years, and there is no city comparable to Shanghai. ”

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan, who had never been to the West, couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "If you have a chance, I really want to go to the West to see." ”

"Don't go to the West, there's nothing to see." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "If you really want to think about it, you might as well accompany Brother Yourong to the northwest to have a look, it's very convenient to take the train now." ”

Huang Dianyuan continued: "I am really a little moved by this, Tibet is not daring to go, but Xinjiang Anxi really wants to go and see." ”

"It's easy." Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "When the weather is warmer, I'll arrange it, let's go out together to see this great river and mountain." ”

Took Huang Dianyuan to visit and inspect several large factories in Baoshan, and when he returned to Shanghai and returned to his home, it was already the sun setting in the west, and as soon as he got off the car, the secretary came to report that Su Shun and Xie Xiuyuan had been waiting in the house for three hours.

Estimating that the two of them should have something urgent, Yi Zhizu went straight to Changle Bookstore, washed up a little, and then asked the two to come over, and after meeting and sitting down, Su Shun said tentatively: "This victory over the five-nation alliance is a good time for my country to expand in South Africa, but I gave Bechuana and Natal to Germany, Austria and Italy, is Brother Guocheng not interested in South Africa, or do you have other plans?" ”

Yi Zhizhi was content in the next big game of chess, but he was not sure, so he naturally didn't say much, and said with a slight sigh: "South Africa is a land of right and wrong, and we can't keep it without absolute strength." ”

Su Shun was very surprised and said: "Hasn't this battle confirmed our country's strong military strength?" ”

"It's only temporary." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "England's industrial strength and shipbuilding strength are far above our country, once England develops torpedoes and submarines, we will not be able to maintain the existing naval superiority."

The reason why Bechuana and Natal were divided into Germany, Austria and Italy was to check and balance and curb the Transvaal after England became strong again. ”

For this reason, Su Shun said with a smile: "I thought that the Qing Dynasty was going to stop its foreign expansion. ”

"Foreign expansion really has to be stopped." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "At present, there is no need for my country to continue to expand, but to settle down to digest the territory that has been expanded over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as the existing territory can be kept, it is enough to ensure the prosperity of our country within two hundred years." ”

I'm really planning to stop expanding abroad! Su Shun's mood was a little complicated, both a little disappointed and a little happy, he immediately changed the topic, "I went to Suzhou Creek Park in the morning, I don't know if Brother Guocheng has the idea of forming a law into a law and promoting the social welfare security system?" ”

The social welfare security system is currently only implemented in the factories and mines under the name of Yuanqi, and it is an internal system forcibly implemented by Yuanqi. ”

Su Shun nodded and said: "With the acceleration of the development of industry in our country, the number of workers will expand rapidly, compared with the peasants, workers have a higher degree of organization and discipline, and the social welfare security system can greatly stabilize and appease the workers and eliminate the factors of social instability."

In addition, the social welfare security system is conducive to mediating income distribution, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and promoting the development of industry and the economy. ”

Yi Zhizu glanced at him and then at Xiu Yuan, and said, "At present, only the employees and workers of the factories and mines under the name of Yuan Qi are implementing the social welfare security system, as well as some teachers of the new school, are the officials hot-eyed?" ”

Hearing that his tone was a little unkind, Su Shun groaned: "Don't suffer from poverty, suffer from unevenness." ”

"That's a good point." Yi Zhizhi nodded, "Staff, workers, teachers, and officials all have social welfare guarantees, but what about urban residents?" What about the peasants? ”

Do urban dwellers and peasants also need social welfare guarantees? Su Shun couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect this at all, and Xie Xiuyuan didn't expect it either, the two of them didn't know how to answer for a while, and they didn't suffer from poverty or unevenness, which made the two speechless.

"The reason why the social welfare security system is only implemented within Yuanqi is not to try." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "It is because my country's economic strength and fiscal revenue cannot be fully promoted and implemented, because the state needs to invest a huge amount of money in the past to fully implement it, and it will be delayed for a few more years." ”

Postpone it for a few more years, but there will be nothing to do with him, Su Shun was depressed for a while, but what the other party said was indeed the truth, and he said a little unwillingly: "The cost of giving social welfare security to officials should not be too big, right?" ”

Seeing that he insisted, Yi Zhishu frowned, and then thought that the other party should plan to launch this measure to envelop officials after taking over as prime minister, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The country attaches great importance to education, this cannot be an empty word, it must be implemented, officials enjoy social welfare protection, and teachers have no reason not to enjoy it."

At present, the teachers who enjoy social welfare security are all teachers of new-style primary and secondary schools and universities built by Yuanqi, and since Su Xiang has the courage to let officials enjoy social welfare security, Yuanqi also gives some support, including teachers.

In addition, urban residents and peasants must also leave some memories for them and give them a certain amount of pensions, but the age at which pensions are paid can be raised a little bit, and specific statistics can be made to see whether 60 or 65 years old is suitable. ”

Hearing this, Su Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is an unprecedented ....... of good governance. ”

Yi Zhizu waved his hand to interrupt his compliment and asked, "Do you know what is the greatest benefit of the full implementation of the social welfare security system?" Estimating that the two of them didn't know, he said straightforwardly: "The biggest benefit is to curb population growth!" There is no need to raise children to prevent old age. ”

Curbing population growth? Su Shun and Xie Xiuyuan were a little confused, this statement was really too unexpected for the two, Su Shun said with a puzzled face: "Why do you want to curb population growth?" ”

Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Years of expansion, years of war, and vigorous development of industry, my country can now be said to be vast and sparsely populated, but the total population is as high as 500 million.

With the recovery of the economy and the development of industry, our country is bound to usher in a heyday, or a prosperous era, what does this mean? It means that China will usher in a period of rapid population growth, the larger the population base, the faster the population growth, just think, 40 years later, China's population will reach 1.5 billion, what is the situation? ”
