Chapter 531: Crime and Punishment

When the degree of agricultural mechanization reaches a certain level, the scattered plots of land contracted to households will become a shackle restricting the scale of agriculture.

Wei Minsheng believes that where land is suitable for farming, agriculture should be developed as much as possible.

Only by letting go of all constraints and completely releasing production efficiency can the social value created by agricultural practitioners be truly reflected.

And where it is not suitable for farming, there is no need for large-scale cultivation.

The increase in planting costs is not only a waste of manpower, but also a bit more than worth the loss.

How to get the right people to work in the right positions is what Huaxia Guo's task release platform is doing based on the perfect population certification system.

And how to maximize the social benefits of different lands is something that can only be done by the unimpeded flow of materials between the north and the south.

All the checkpoints of the Yanmen Ancient Road have been opened, and it only benefits those business travelers who use the ancient road.

If you want to absorb more labor through it, you have to supplement it in other ways.

In the era of scarcity, only those materials that are related to people's survival will have enough attraction.

And these basic living materials are precisely the most indispensable things for Huaxia.

The decision of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration was very simple, starting from Fancheng, along the official road of Wei all the way north to Yanmen Pass, using food as payment for work to recruit ordinary people, and repairing the official road for Wei for free.

In the process of repairing the official road, except for the areas where manpower is difficult to deal with, and those places where the road was more difficult to handle before, excavators were used, and other places used manpower as much as possible.

Because only by allowing more people to participate in labor together with the people of Huaxia can more ordinary people slowly deepen their understanding of Huaxia.

The renovation project of the official road is broken down into small projects section by section, and then through the task release platform, some powerful official members of the Huaxia State contract these projects.

In addition to the fact that the official members of these contracted projects can obtain a certain amount of income from the subcontracting process, the number of people they recruit to become members of the Huaxia State will also have a certain amount of income, because this is also an important part of the content of the task.

Since the Huaxia task platform does not set a threshold for entering the industry, all the formal members of Huaxia who contract projects have a natural competitive relationship.

For a task platform that covers the entire Huaxia country, no group or non-governmental organization can monopolize all the tasks of a certain industry.

Under such circumstances, the people working on the entire official road will compare their labor income with the income of the surrounding area, and then move freely to the area with higher income.

In areas with higher returns, the above-average earnings will naturally fall slowly after the labor force is sufficient.

Under the condition of full fair and free competition for all positions, the purpose of reasonable allocation of labor force will naturally be achieved.

These ordinary people who participated in the labor only needed to complete the designated work tasks to obtain the corresponding Huaxia money, and the purchasing power of Huaxia money in Wei had always been relatively strong.

In addition to being exchanged for food and other daily necessities in temporary camps built at construction sites, this beautifully crafted Huaxia coin could also be directly circulated in other parts of the Wei State, and it has almost become a hard currency in the Wei State.

During the break from work, it almost became the time for those members of the Huaxia Kingdom to tell stories.

The members of the Huaxia Kingdom used all the novelties they could bring out to show these people the wealth, fairness, justice, and freedom of the Huaxia Kingdom, and some of the people also told their employers about their experiences.

In this era when order has been lost, and the gangsters are rampant, and these ordinary people are rarely violated without the protection of strong force.

After the large amount of information that these members of the Huaxia Kingdom learned through these ordinary people was summarized to the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the rogues around the official road were listed as a serious security hazard at the first time.

In order to ensure the safety of the circulation of this official road in the future, the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration immediately made arrangements.

First of all, the staff of Guangliang Surveying and Mapping Company, under the protection of members of the Huaxia Self-Defense Force, collected high-definition digital photos of the terrain within five kilometers on both sides of the official road.

With a clear digital map obtained, the Huaxia Self-Defense Forces took the initiative to attack and wiped out the bandits who occupied the mountains near the official road.

For these members of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces, with air supremacy and a huge disparity in weapons, this level of anti-bandit operations is not even comparable to ordinary training.

After batches of bandits were caught, each bandit was first asked to take the initiative to confess what he had done that hurt nature and reason.

These crimes are categorized and counted, and the computer system determines the punishment he should receive according to the laws of Huaxia.

Those who previously carried human lives on their shoulders could only atone for their sins through labor reform.

The duration of labor reform is determined according to the severity of the circumstances.

The most heinous sin is indefinite, and he must be reformed at least until he is seventy years old, or after thirty years of labor reform, before he can have the opportunity to become a free man.

In this era when the average life expectancy is only about fifty years old, if nothing else, he can only spend his life in the "prison" designated by Huaxia State.

The general sentence for intentional homicide is 20 years, and although he has a better chance of being freed, when he comes out, his life will be about the same.

The sentence for negligent death is only 10 years, and if he wants to stay in Huaxia after he is freed, he also needs to deduct a part of his salary every month according to 10% of the median salary level of Huaxia and invest it in a charity fund to help the relatives of the victims registered in the Huaxia population platform.

In addition to the expenses of the "prison", the remaining part of all the social value created in the process of labor reform will be converted into Huaxia currency according to the actual situation, and all of it will be invested in the charity fund, which will be uniformly dispatched and used by the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Those who do not carry human lives on their shoulders will be sentenced to up to five years in prison according to the degree of harm of their actions.

In this era of labor shortage, everyone's power should be harnessed.

Therefore, Huaxia adopted a policy of suspended execution for these bandits who were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than five years.

The Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration uses the value that an ordinary person can create in a month as a reference value, calculates the value that these bandits should create during the prison term, and then uses it as the basis for them to become free people.

As long as they participate in the work assigned by the Huaxia State and use the income of their labor to pay enough charitable funds of equal value that should be created during the prison sentence, they can be restored to the status of ordinary people and obtain the same rights and obligations as other ordinary people.

Only by gaining the status of ordinary people can they further become members of the Huaxia Kingdom.
