Chapter 25: Twenty-three Percent

"In the Yucheng system, the separation of officials and lords began two years ago. The difference between the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the Lord and so on is only how much you have done for the city, which is an honor for the individual, and how much you can receive various benefits from the public property of the city. ”

"And the official means what kind of ability you have to manage how many people, in fact, there is no difference between it and farming and working, one labors and one labor, but it is all labor."

"Originally, there were twelve knights in the Yucheng system, and the lowest one was called the common people, but now I will add two more ranks, for a total of fourteen ranks."

"The fourteenth class is the last class, but it is still a human being, and all those to whom the law of charity applies. There is an obligation to pay taxes to cultivate the land, and labor must also be compulsory. They don't have the right to talk about politics. ”

"Thirteen and so on are you workshop workers. There were 8,000 women before, plus more than 2,000 women before the Charity Decree was issued, making a total of 10,000 people. Originally, the twelfth class was for the people, but I changed it to change the twelfth class to the public servant and the thirteenth class to the people. ”

"The people have the right to discuss politics, have the obligation to serve in the army and kill the enemy, and also have all the rights of the people, and are no longer bound by the charity law. The children of the common people can complete their enlightenment education with public income. After serious illness, the public property is responsible for medical treatment, and if the disabled and old age have no children, they are supported by the public property until death, and they are allowed to participate in all activities in the city, and have the right to form associations and supervise hundreds of officials. ”

"But living only on the output of their own land or the monthly salary of workshop work, a set of winter clothes and a summer coat every year, and there are no other benefits."

"From the twelfth rank above, in addition to the coins issued by normal labor, they also have the right to share the profits of public property."

"From today onwards, all the land and people obtained from the conquest will be allocated to the public property, and will no longer be distributed to private individuals as rewards. All rewards are derived from the proceeds of public property management, and are distributed in kind according to the rank of the people. ”

"If the twelfth duke is divided into one, the eleventh duke is doubled into two, and the tenth duke is doubled into four...... The number of knights of the first rank is two thousand and twenty-four. ”

"The knighthood is not hereditary, and all the descendants of the countrymen start from the thirteenth-rank people. All the owners of the fourteenth rank have lived and worked in Yucheng for more than three years after registration, and are familiar with the use of new tools and agricultural tools, and after they can hold the spear and go into battle, they will automatically be promoted to the rank of common people. A common man who has worked for three years without fault or merit may be promoted to the rank of public servant. A public servant who has worked for four years without fault or merit may be awarded the title of Eleventh Knight. And so on, if you can live to forty, work from fourteen, and not be a traitor, you will always get the benefit of the ninth rank when you die. ”

"Meritorious service can be obtained by fighting with the army, meritorious service can also be obtained by hard work, and improving labor methods can not only be rewarded but also easier to obtain meritorious service."

"There are too many and too detailed ways to evaluate meritorious deeds, which requires a little negotiation, and it can't be said in a day."

"If you can accept it, lay down your arms early tomorrow morning."

This is a compromise approach, and the most important point of national status is the right to discuss politics, which is what these workshop leaders want most. As for those interests, they are only something after this right, and there is no urgency.

Chen Jian's idea was to turn the entire Xiacheng system into a strictly controlled state-run system, using more under-the-ground and technological advantages to support a special class of about 20,000 people, and using it to maintain stability for five years.

Within three years, the lowest level of the people who were bound by the charity law could not become the people of the parliamentary regime, but Chen Jian reserved room for them to climb up, did not block the passage, did not erase hope, and could ensure that the basic population of the base continued to increase while expanding.

For those workshop workers, they only need to work hard and steadily for two years to become a twelfth-class public servant, and if they fight bravely in the war and make meritorious deeds, they can even faster. Above the public service, you can enjoy all kinds of public property benefits, and this hope is within reach.

But at this moment, these people cannot harm the interests of those original Chinese people in terms of interests, and now the starting point of Chinese people is two years earlier than them.

The difference in welfare also fills the Chinese people with the desire to climb up, but this is a big pie. Most of the countrymen may be the ninth rank of the knight for the rest of their lives, but it is only eight times the treatment of the public servant, and it is also when they are about to die.

The first rank is two thousand and twenty-four times the size of the princess, which looks beautiful and terrifying, but in fact, the entire city may not have it, and it must at least be the work of destroying the city and saving the dead.

According to the current point of view, there are 8,000 people above the public scholars in the entire Xia City system, and the 8,000 people are distributed according to the increasing welfare of the knighthood, which can be simply regarded as 40,000 base points.

In three years, about the first 5,000 people will become citizens, and in another two years, which is five years.

Five years later, 10,000 people have become public servants, but according to the age of the year, they are exactly one year away from becoming eleventh knights, and if some of them have made meritorious contributions, the virtual number of these 10,000 people sharing the cake can be regarded as 20,000 in five years.

Five years later, the old people of Xiacheng who are now above the public will die a little, and then they will be promoted by an average of one knight, which can be roughly counted as a virtual 80,000 base cake, plus 20,000 of the current people in five years, and then 5,000 of the current fourteenth class, a total of 110,000 base cakes.

That is to say, today it is 40,000 base cakes, and five years later it will be 110,000 base cakes.

In the case of ensuring that the overall level of welfare and living is higher than or at least equal to the current level, it is only necessary to have a level of production that is two and a half times that of the present level.

In five years, it is two and a half times, that is, 2.5 to the fourth power, that is, to ensure a growth rate of at least 23 percent per year.

That's the bottom line. Below this rate, the standard of living will fall from what it is now, and it will cause discontent and internal collapse.

The first year after five years, now six years later, is the most important year, when a large number of the present people become eleventh lords according to the accumulated time, and the number of the number of bastards will suddenly increase, but then the minimum level of the number of years required to climb up will begin to decline, and the very high number of people will begin to die of natural causes until they tend to stabilize—seven or eight percent on the basis of the annual digestion and integration of 10,000 people.

This is why the introduction of this system of knighthood will quickly turn the city into a war machine - under normal circumstances, no one can guarantee such a terrible growth rate except war, and if it does not become a war machine, it will first disintegrate and will not last until it stabilizes.

Twenty-three percent growth per year for five years is a normal difficulty, but it can be done in this era, because there are wars, foreign slaves can be plundered, new agricultural technologies can be fully promoted, and the land is almost unlimited, depending on the limit of what each peasant can work per year.

As a stowaway, Chen Jian can still maintain a certain technical advantage, which can also reduce some of the pressure.

The enthusiasm of the new workshop workers will also raise the level of production of the Xia Cheng system, because they work for themselves, and they are already the ruling class of the countrymen and the city, although the lowest ruling class.
