Chapter 188: Population Migration

Shi Bufan began to announce the implementation of this policy of mutual medical assistance, and although some people did not understand the policy at first, they thought that if they paid a stone of food in vain every year, then if they were not sick, they would not be useless, wouldn't it be a loss? But later, Shi Bufan let people explain, saying that this policy can avoid the situation that their family will not be able to turn over for several generations once they get sick. In this way www.biquge.info many people have also agreed to pay this medical mutual aid, and in the future, all local people with local household registration do not need any consultation fees to see a doctor, and half of the medicinal materials for ordinary diseases can be reimbursed, and eighty percent can be reimbursed for serious diseases. Of course, this is just a normal illness, and if it is a fight that violates the law and discipline, violates social morality, and suffers from suicide and self-harm, it will not be reimbursed.

Shi Bufan's policy has made many people raise their hands in favor, because although Shi Bufan's cooperative program has not actually increased grain production too much, the increase in production and the grain saved are equivalent to an increase of 50 percent, so that they have a lot of surplus grain to pay. After some explanations, these people also understood that this mutual medical aid is a matter of ensuring that their families will not be unable to turn over due to illness for generations, and they will incur debts that will never be repaid.

After this policy, there was a great response immediately, and the people in the surrounding counties couldn't sit still.

"Shi County Cheng, recently, many people from our surrounding counties in Wannian County have come to our Wannian County, hoping to settle in our Wannian County. Originally, we didn't have any surprises, but then we realized that there were too many. Two days ago, there were more than a dozen households a day, but now we can receive dozens of households every day to settle down. And most of them have joint guarantees issued by the heads of various families and townships, which shows that they are not criminals. According to the strategy of the imperial court at that time, the people could be required to settle nearby, and the government could not prevent it, and according to the Juntian system, Yongye Tian and Kou were granted to divide the fields. A scribe said to Shi Bufan.

Shi Bufan asked, "How about that?" What should you do about the policy of the imperial court, you will also do it, and come to ask me! ”

"But it's too much. Originally, we wouldn't meet a single household in half a month, but we only have a dozen households a day, and even dozens a day now. In a few days, there may be hundreds of households! ”

Only then did Shi Bufan know the problem, this growth curve is simply abnormal, as a local population, the growth curve must be relatively stable. Shi Bufan has studied economics and understands economic changes very well, normal economics will not skyrocket and plummet, if there is a sharp rise or fall, there is absolutely abnormal human interference. Of course, what is interfering must be investigated in detail, but it is definitely not a normal phenomenon.

"Just now there have been official letters from several surrounding counties, hoping that we will stop accepting populations, because these populations are the populations of several surrounding counties. They came out of that place first, so these people were actually people from the surrounding counties, not the homeless people from the original imperial court. Originally, the imperial court asked to settle nearby, and those were for the homeless. However, most of these people have household registration in the surrounding counties, so the county officials next to us also sent official letters to question us, asking us to stop settling down with the people immediately and move these people back. ”

Shi Bufan asked again: "They have a hukou in the surrounding counties, can't you find it?" ”

"Shi Xiancheng, as long as they don't take the initiative to say it and claim to be a homeless person, then we have no way to verify it! With such dozens of households every day, how can we go around and check them? ”

Shi Bufan knew what was going on, this ancient hukou did not have a national network, and the communication capacity obviously did not reach this level. As long as those people don't take the initiative to admit that they have settled elsewhere, then who knows where they came from? As for going to other places for verification, the workload is extremely huge. In ancient times, there were only a few people in the government, and the number of public officials in a county was only a hundred, and the number was only a dozen. So if such a small number of public officials were to investigate those people without an internet connection, it would be enough to drive them crazy.

"Also, the imperial court has already formulated a strategy, that is, the population increase, which can be counted as a political achievement, so ......"

"No wonder they are in such a hurry, I remember that the increase in population is an achievement of local officials, even an important achievement during the founding of the country. If the population increases to a certain extent, it is a significant achievement. But if the population is declining, then you will be held accountable. No wonder these guys are in such a hurry, the population of their place is outflowing, so they are at a loss. And if our population here increases, then we can naturally get good political achievements, and when the time comes, we will be promoted and rich together, but they will be unlucky! Shi Bufan thought to himself.

In ancient times, there was not much population migration, because in the ancient agrarian society, as long as the quality of the land was not much different, the annual harvest was about the same. In ancient times, there were no various hukou benefits, and the population in ancient times was an ordinary person no matter where they went, almost all of them paid, and there was no social welfare.

So the ancient people didn't like to move, but later generations did the opposite. Later generations of rural populations ran to the cities, urban populations to the big cities, and large cities to the outside world. In fact, this is mainly the "welfare" of this hukou, even if it is "nationality", it is actually a kind of hukou, so the various social benefits that this hukou has, this is what everyone attaches importance to.

Shi Bufan implemented this medical mutual aid program in Wannian County, which is definitely a good policy and a very important welfare policy. Free medical treatment in the local area, you can reimburse 50% of the cost of medicinal materials, so there will be basically no major crisis. Living in Wannian County can achieve long-term peace, and of course they don't want to live where they are.

Especially in this place, the population is not large, and almost all the people in the surrounding counties are more or less related to each other, so if there is a good thing, it is natural to find a way to pull relatives to share it together. So when the policy was introduced, many people also chose to notify their relatives and friends to move in together, so that they could enjoy this benefit together.

"It turned out that I was attracted by this mutual medical aid, no wonder! The social welfare of a place has a fatal attraction for the population in other places. And this is just an ordinary mutual medical aid that attracts these people? But if there are more social security benefits in the future, I wonder how much more people can be added? ”

Shi Bufan knew that this mutual medical aid was actually just a mutual aid between their own people, but this mutual aid was also conditional. That is to break the small-scale peasant economic model of the past, which was based on one family as an independent economy, because according to the small-scale peasant economic model in the past, each party will naturally sweep away the snow before the door, and there will be no mutual assistance. In the self-sufficient economic model of one family, each person is not very dependent on other families, so it is difficult for them to join forces to face the crisis together. Why is it easier for urban people in later generations to accept this kind of social insurance? This is largely because cities are not self-sufficient societies, and urban populations are highly dependent on others. In the city, no one can survive without being dependent on others. You need electricity at home, and you still rely on electricity generation. Running water, etc., all kinds of goods and services are interdependent, so that everyone becomes a whole.

Only under the model of the whole being a whole and interdependence can they be able to take out the money as mutual aid. If Shi Bufan hadn't broken the small-scale peasant economic model of the past and wanted them to take out the grain, they would definitely not want to, because the population is not very dependent on each other, which will make their relationship very loose, and their selfish side has been magnified to the greatest extent. On the contrary, they are very dependent, so they have to give up some to help each other for their own interests.

"You stop accepting entry first, I'm afraid it won't be long before the court will intervene. Our Wannian County and several surrounding counties are all Jing County, so it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to ask. You stop letting people enter the house first, and then hand over the conflict and let the court solve it. ”

"However, we are changing it now, and there are some problems with the standard of one stone of food per household in the past. This is one stone of grain per household, so the population of each household is different. So it's really inappropriate for us to do this, for example, those big families are nominally a family, but in fact there are thousands of people, so this will definitely not work. Therefore, the standard of grain payment has been changed from paying according to household registration in the past to paying according to the population. A population pays two buckets of food a year in order to receive this mutual medical assistance. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan found a loophole, that is, the ancient hukou was actually much larger than that of later generations. In later generations, a family often does not have more than five people, and even if there are many children, it will never exceed ten. But in ancient times, it was different, and some ancient big families could even reach thousands of people per household!

In ancient times, big families did not advocate separation, and even now some big families have thousands of people, but nominally they are still a household registration. If this kind of household registration also pays one stone of grain every year, and you can also enjoy mutual aid treatment, it is definitely a loss to your grandmother's family. Therefore, change is inevitable, from one stone per household in the past, to two buckets per person per year, which can be regarded as avoiding this loophole.

Otherwise, Shi Bufan would not have been able to carry out this policy, and Shi Bufan did not doubt the ability of the Chinese people to exploit policy loopholes, which are among the best in the world. If it is still based on households, then I am afraid that it is not impossible for a household to have tens of thousands of people, which will be troublesome.

In particular, the current cooperative production method is different, which is different from the small-scale peasant economy of the past, so that when there are too many people in a household, it is no longer possible to find out effectively. Therefore, since the mode of production has changed, and the small-scale peasant economy of the past has evolved, the statistical method must also be changed. From the past by household, now it should be calculated by population. If the mode of production changes, the society must also change with it, otherwise it will inevitably fail to adapt to the problems that will arise in the end.

And those people who were about to move to Wannian County were immediately dissatisfied when they heard that they had stopped accepting the population.

"Why don't you let us in, the court has an order, all the people can choose to settle down nearby, and I also want to settle in this Wannian County." "Yes! We're going to settle down! "You can't disobey the orders of the court!" ……

The people suddenly made a noise, obviously they all wanted to come and enjoy this mutual medical aid.

"Since we won't settle down, will we enter another household registration line? I have an acquaintance here, who happens to have the same surname as me, so let him add me the name of a brother, so that we can be considered a household! When the time comes, a family only needs one stone of grain, then I will really earn it. Someone thought "pretending to be smart".

But someone immediately came over and said: "Shi Xiancheng ordered to change the payment method of medical mutual aid in the future." In the past, it was calculated according to one stone per household, but now it is changed to two buckets per person, and it is not paid according to households. ”

These words immediately made many people who thought they were smart smile on their faces, obviously people blocked the loopholes, what else could they do?

"Why? Why is it that at the feet of the same Son of Heaven, Wannian County can see a doctor without spending money, and the cost of medicine only needs to be half of it? We still have to be asked by those doctors to be so black, we can't stand it! "Yes! We want to enter the household, we want to enter the household in Wannian County! "We're going to go inside!" ……

These people shouted one after another, obviously not wanting to let go of this opportunity to enter Wannian County as soon as possible.

The people began to make a lot of noise, thinking that they wanted to enter the house. However, Shi Bufan did not have time to deal with this matter for the time being, because he was sued again, and he hurried to the imperial court to answer.

"Your Majesty, Wannian County has been collecting all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes without authorization, and is corrupt. He deposited all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes collected into the Qin family's bank, and what is the relationship between the Qin family and Shi Bufan, I think everyone knows. Therefore, it is an unforgivable sin to loot the people's fat and ointment without authorization. Moreover, he took in the people of Linxian County without authorization, causing a large loss of population in Linxian County, which is destroying the peace of my Tang Dynasty. Especially in the relationship that affects the counties of Gyeonggi in the Tang Dynasty, please punish the emperor severely. Please ask the emperor to severely punish Shi Bufan, this kind of indiscriminate collection of taxes and miscellaneous taxes to exploit the people's livelihood, and take in the people of Linxian without authorization, and then destroy the relationship between the counties in the capital, must be severely punished! Chen Kang, the palace attendant, shouted. (To be continued.) )
