After a series of reforms, the Hukou model adopted in the New Deal areas was similar to that of later China, with control of hukou insulating some developed areas from the shock of large population influxes. Then use the tax revenue of developed regions to make up for and develop backward provinces.

Therefore, most of the surplus part of the fiscal revenue in the ninth year of the Apocalypse will be used for the construction of backward provinces.

This model was also adopted by many countries in the world in later generations, most notably in Boer-controlled South Africa. The idea of the Boers was to divide South Africa into relatively independent provinces and then construct a 'United Nations model' in which blacks lived in one 'country' and whites lived in one 'country'. When the Boers took control of South Africa, South Africa developed rapidly and became a developed country, both in terms of medical care and manufacturing.

But then Mandela launched a black campaign to drive the Boers out of South Africa and sell South Africa's sovereignty to the rest of the world. Of course, it was to raise his hands to welcome and vigorously praise the selfless Mr. Mandela, so a song "Glorious Years" came out. In the end, after South Africa was messed up, the manufacturing industry was directly finished, and the medical level also changed from the world's top to a place where garbage died, and Chinese businessmen flew directly back to China for treatment when they encountered any serious illness in South Africa, and the whole South Africa went directly from a developed sovereign country to a backward country colonized by capital.

However, the current immigration system of the Ming Dynasty is still relatively relaxed, although it is not so easy to immigrate across provinces in the Guannai area, but it is easy to obtain household registration in the areas outside the Guan, as well as overseas colonies.

In such a situation. The population of Beizhili, Shandong and other provinces tends to be stable.

The development routes of provincial governments in the New Deal region are also different. It varies from region to region. A number of local development routes have been drawn up.

For example, the Shandong provincial government has set a development path to develop agriculture, industrial manufacturing, and maritime trade. Henan, the inland provinces, is to vigorously develop agriculture first to ensure this advantageous industry.

Each province has different areas of fiscal spending, while the central government has allocated fiscal revenue subsidies from developed provinces to backward provinces.

Throughout the northern provinces, construction is taking place everywhere.

Factories, roads, water conservancy, and town facilities are being built, while businessmen are investing in agriculture, industry, commerce, and jobs are everywhere.

A large number of migrant workers poured into the construction site. Migrant work has become a trend in the rural areas of the northern provinces.

At the same time, various land annexation activities are also being carried out. The main force of land annexation was the agricultural company, not the traditional landlord class.

It was very easy for peasants who had left the land to obtain urban household registration.

After some reforms, the people's tax pressure has been greatly reduced. Conscription has been completely abolished, and wages are paid for official construction activities, and wages are paid every day, and wages are paid more than 30 wen a day, thus avoiding the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers.

This was a rigid rule of the imperial court, whose works were now heavily outsourced. The main force contracting these projects is the state-owned capital construction company, which has many engineering teams. These state-owned capital construction companies have abundant capital. There is no problem with the daily settlement of migrant workers' wages.

At the same time, private capital is also involved in these projects, from the state-owned construction companies to undertake some local projects, private businessmen to participate in these projects, the threshold requirements are not high, because they undertake some technical things, the only threshold is that the salary must be paid daily, to avoid the problem of arrears of wages. At the same time, the quality of the project must be passed, and once serious quality problems are discovered, they must bear criminal responsibility.

The imperial court also lowered the agricultural tax on yeoman farmers, who owned small amounts of land and did not need to pay taxes. At the same time, those tenant farmers are no longer required to bear any direct taxes, even personal income tax. Only in the process of daily consumption, you need to bear taxes such as value-added tax on goods and salt tax, but they are not directly collected from the people.

For ordinary people, the environment suddenly became very relaxed, and they had to consider paying taxes only when they made money, and the government would not come to force taxes when they had no money.

This is a very positive side, and the pressure on ordinary people has also increased. On the one hand, there is the ongoing land annexation activity, and on the other hand, the cost of living increases after moving into the towns. For ordinary workers who do not have any savings, as long as they do not do anything for a few months, they will sit on a mountain of empty food, so they can only continue to work. It's as if there is a whip behind the people and constantly whipping them forward.

The ancients called the management of the people 'herdsmen', the people actually have no self-management ability, once the people live a comfortable life, they are unwilling to do things, such a bad root is widespread in all classes, not only ordinary people, those powerful people are the same, once those powerful people do not need to do things can get benefits, those powerful people are not willing to do things.

If you don't do things, you can't produce wealth, but you are constantly consuming it, and the whole society will be poor.

After some reforms, the umbilical cord of the interests of the powerful in the northern provinces has been continuously cut, and they also need to do things to think about how to make money. Ordinary people have also been detached from the natural economy of the countryside, and have gone from having nothing to do all day long, and sometimes not being able to find something to do even if they want to do something, to having something to do, and not being able to maintain a normal standard of life in the towns.

Everyone is doing things, they can create a large number of goods, and after distribution and distribution, no matter what class, life can be okay, just a little tired. Suffering a little bit and getting tired is actually good for the people, and it can only prevent greater suffering from coming.

The most terrible thing about a nation is not suffering, but the so-called difficulties to prosper the country. People are only willing to struggle when they are in a desperate situation, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they must be able to get ahead, as for how far they can get ahead, it depends on the cultural heritage.

China's cultural heritage is undoubtedly the deepest in the world, as long as you are willing to work hard, you are not afraid of hardship.

Before the Ming Dynasty, it was too long to live comfortably, which would cause the great suffering of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, and that kind of suffering would be too great.

The most terrible thing for a person is not to endure hardships and suffering, but to have no suffering to suffer. Once the comfort is too much. When tribulation comes. Many times it is irreversible and catastrophic consequences.

Therefore, even if Daming is rich, Zhu Youxiao will not give ordinary people very comfortable welfare treatment, everyone will not do things, then the country will be weakened.

In the same way, those capitalists who do not have an enterprising attitude are also resolutely eliminated. Even within the state-owned capital consortium, those red-top businessmen are facing an elimination system, and those who are able are on the list. If you can't, there is no stable interest for generations, and no one can sit at home and receive money with their feet crossed.

However, there should still be a security system, with the rapid growth of financial revenue in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao further improved the guaranteed welfare of the New Deal area.

First of all, the widows and disabled groups, the imperial court has increased subsidies, so that these groups without the ability to work and without income can survive in the towns, and ensure their basic right to survival, which is not just to have enough to eat. It also includes housing, education, and health care.

Nursing homes, orphanages, and other facilities have been built in all provinces, states and counties, and three meals are guaranteed by the imperial court. Housing, medical care, and education are also guarantees for the imperial court.

Disabled groups who have lost their ability to work will be given a monthly subsidy of 1 yuan per month, which is a relatively high subsidy and can well guarantee their basic survival. After all, at this time, there was no external exploitation in the Ming Dynasty, and the productivity was the highest in the world, and backward countries could be exploited through commodity exports and other means, and the protection of difficult groups could indeed be higher.

In terms of medical security, efforts have also been increased, and a system of paying out of pocket for minor illnesses and reimbursing major illnesses has been fully implemented in the New Deal area to prevent workers from going bankrupt due to illness.

For needy households, different aspects of assistance will be given. If it is poverty caused by too many children, the imperial court can make their children's compulsory education free of charge, and give them a certain amount of food subsidies. If they have the ability to work, but they are poor because they are lazy and lazy, then they can only be guaranteed to not starve to death, and the security payment is relatively low.

Workers who are unemployed can apply for unemployment benefits to ensure that workers can survive in towns and cities. For example, if you lose your job due to injury or illness, you will receive a monthly allowance of 1 yuan, and if you still have children in education, you can also get free of tuition for compulsory education, and if you don't have housing, you can also apply for low-rent housing. If they are unemployed because they cannot find a satisfactory job, then the amount of the subsidy is relatively low, but it only guarantees that they will not starve to death.

In an environment dominated by state-owned capital, it is unlikely that there will be large-scale unemployment as in the United States in later generations. Because the wealth of state-owned capital is constantly flowing to the people at the bottom, there is no problem of large-scale unemployment, only the question of whether you are willing to do things, as long as you are willing to do things, you can always find something to do.

Under such a security system, workers living in cities and towns, as long as they have the ability to work, will face the problem of living in poverty if they do not work. And if they lose their ability to work due to irresistible factors, the imperial court can ensure their survival.

In terms of pension, the pension system is officially implemented, and enterprises pay pensions for workers, and when they retire, they can receive a certain pension every month.

Under such a system, there will suddenly be more state fiscal expenditure items, but with the current fiscal revenue, it can still be supported.

The implementation of such a security system can improve the livelihood of the needy groups and raise the level of the basic right to survival, no longer to let the people have enough to eat, but also to ensure that the children of the people can enjoy compulsory education.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao has improved the protection of workers, and on the other hand, he has stepped up relevant anti-corruption efforts to avoid the fraudulent collection of subsistence allowances.

There are a lot of such things in later generations, the national policy was originally good, but when it was implemented, it was changed by local officials, such a problem not only existed in later generations, but also existed in the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the reform provinces in the north have been rectified, and the situation is not too serious. If it is placed in the southern provinces that have not been reformed, the implementation of the central policy will be chaotic.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao simply did not introduce any policies for those provinces that have not been reformed, and kept them as they are.

The 10th year of the Apocalypse is gradually approaching, and the budget for the new year is still focused on strengthening infrastructure in addition to strengthening guaranteed welfare.

Military spending is still only enough to maintain the status quo, and there is no war plan.

The biggest threat to the north is the Mongols, but the Mongols are now tied to the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty, and the contradiction is placed on plundering other ethnic groups, and they will not threaten the frontier of the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

There is no external threat to the South itself, and China has historically been invaded from the north. Nanyang has become the backyard of Daming and is being continuously developed.

Even if there were some wars, they were external colonial wars, and they were mainly left to the navy.

In terms of infrastructure construction, after nine years of construction, the provincial highways in the northern provinces have been fully completed, and telegraph lines have been rapidly laid in all provinces, prefectures and counties.

Steam engine technology developed rapidly, and in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, a generator powered by a steam engine was successfully developed, but the current role of the generator is only to ensure the operation of the telegraph system.

The construction project of the 10th year of the Apocalypse is nothing more than a continuation of the improvement of infrastructure and the provision of a large number of jobs.

Spending on the development of education has also increased. About half of the provinces in the 10th year of the Apocalypse will implement the "Six-Year Compulsory Education Law", and by the 11th year of the Apocalypse, the entire northern provinces will implement the six-year compulsory education.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was preparing the budget for the year, Zhendong Province sent a telegram that a civil war broke out again in Japan. Previously, the Ming Dynasty supported the Satsuma Domain, which had fallen to the shogunate, and took the initiative to launch an attack on the Tokugawa shogunate.

It didn't take long for the various feudal clans to launch a war of defeat.

The reason for this war is very simple, because after the last war, those sample domains have gained the right to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and after some trade, the strength of these sample domains has increased greatly, and the Tokugawa shogunate has been somewhat unable to suppress the situation.

"Damn, what the hell is this!" Zhu Youxiao had a headache, his original intention was to fully open up trade with Japan, plunder Japan's precious metals and copper mines, as well as Japan's labor. Unexpectedly, after some intervention, Japan became even more chaotic.

It didn't take long for Honglu Temple to come to ask for a countermeasure, and Zhu Youxiao said: "If Little Japan wants to fight, let them fight!" Don't interfere too much, whichever force is willing to trade with the Ming will trade with whichever force. ”

A stable Japan is indeed more in line with the current interests of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it can expand the trade volume. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to intervene in Japan's internal war, and those feudal domains were going to fall, so it would be better to let them fall, and it was better to break Japan into pieces.

The Tokugawa Shogunate was an important period for the unification of Japan, and before the Tokugawa Shogunate unified Japan, the customs, languages, and other things in various parts of Japan were different, and the ideologies were also quite different.

A chaotic Japan seems to be more in the long-term interest.

It didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao to think that Yang Guorui had given instructions to let the state-owned trade fleet transport more weapons and equipment to sell to Japan, and whoever had the money to sell them to whom would make Japan a little more chaotic. (To be continued.) )
