"Listen up, you flag men, from now on, your flag salary has officially stopped. In the future, you must work hard to earn a living for yourself before you can truly support yourself. Do you understand? ”

Hearing this, many flag people also had bitter faces. Although they knew that the change of dynasty was inevitable, they had not yet officially abdicated the Manchu Dynasty, and they had cut off their salaries, which made them still a little tragic. Although this salary is not much, it is only seven or eight taels of silver every month, which is barely enough for ordinary people to live for a month. But if you want to live a good life, you can't. Especially those flag people still love to show off a few taels of silver a month, where is there enough to live! However, when the day came when the flag was cut off, they were really very uncomfortable. They don't have a salary and don't know how to live anymore? They have no means of livelihood, and they have become very annoyed by years of salary, which makes them all very annoyed.

"My lord, if you cut off our salary, then we really won't be able to make a living." "My lord, we can't be so fast, if we don't have a flag salary, then what will our family eat?" "Yes! My lord, we can't live, and if we don't have a salary, then we will really starve to death. "Yes! Adults, we can't do anything, how do we go about making a living? ”……

"I tell you, if you want the new government to send money directly, that's not possible. Not to mention that you second-class citizens, even first-class citizens, do not have such good things. If you want money, work hard to earn it yourself, and don't expect the government to give you money. The Taiwanese government worker on the stage said.

Some of the "ear-eared" bannermen immediately asked, "My lord, what do you mean by second-class citizens?" ”

"Second-class citizens, that is, we in Taiwan. That is, a civic hierarchical policy established by the future heart government. Citizens are divided into four classes, the first being the highest, with all political rights and welfare rights. The second-class discretion is lowered, only two people in the political right are counted as one vote, and the corresponding free medical care standards are also reduced in terms of welfare, etc., but the education benefits will not be reduced. The main source of third-class meritorious democracy is those who have been taken by us in Taiwan to expand its territory. Then the people in the areas that voluntarily surrendered in the process were considered third-class meritorious people. And the last fourth-class citizens, that is, the people of the regions that we have forcibly conquered. Finally, the slaves, mainly those who are indigenous to the South Sea monkeys. As for why you are second-class citizens, you know that! ”

Can the flag man not understand? They have been masters in China for so many years, and now feng shui takes turns, and it is normal for people to take revenge and come back. Fortunately, it is a second-class citizen. And not directly relegated to slavery, that's already good. You must know that in the eyes of the first batch of Manchus at the earliest, the Han people were all slave-like existences, so they can be like this now, and that is already the "grace" of the Han people. I have to say that living in this role of master and slave since childhood, they are more accepting of the civic hierarchy. They have always lived in this hierarchical situation of flag men. So they are actually very receptive to this feeling. Since they knew that the world was going to change, they had long been prepared to be reduced. Now not relegated to slavery. That's pretty good.

"However, you don't have to worry too much, you can still have the opportunity to improve the civic rank, not the absolute second class. For example, if you can pay taxes according to the law for 15 consecutive years, then you can also be promoted from a second-class citizen to a first-class citizen, but this is for life. There is another one that is better. That is, if you have paid taxes in accordance with the law for 30 consecutive years, and the amount of tax paid exceeds 20% of the average level of all natural persons, then you can be regarded as a relatively outstanding contribution, and your descendants from you can also be first-class citizens. ”

"Of course, it's not just that. There are other paths. For example, as a worker, he invented a new way of working and improved his efficiency. As a scholar, it is okay to research certain scientific achievements, or literary academic achievements, and write articles that have won certain awards. In short, there are still a lot of roads, and you can all see for yourself. There is a civil level of welfare and political rights, as well as a way to upgrade the rank, and you can all go and see it. However, you can also rest assured that even if you are not of the same level of citizenship, then you are all equal before education and the law, and citizens of any level are equal. Moreover, you have the right not to say your citizenship status, so that others do not deliberately target you. Your citizenship status is not written on your ID card, but there is a file in the welfare department, which is not published. So, apart from the difference in the time you receive the benefits, few people know about your citizenship hierarchy at other times. ”

Hearing this, these face-loving flag people are still a little "grateful". These banner people are drunk and love face, if they want to write their citizenship rank in the ID card, then they will really have to be embarrassed. But now not only will they not be written on their ID cards, but they also have the right not to say their citizenship status, which makes them a lot more comfortable. At least in the future, you don't have to lose face, and you can protect your face. Moreover, it is not impossible to raise the level of citizenship, because according to these people in the new government, there are still many ways to raise the level of citizenship. The easiest way is to follow the law for fifteen years, and you can increase your citizenship level for life. If you can pay taxes in accordance with the law for 30 consecutive years, and the amount of tax paid exceeds 20% of the average natural person, then it can also be increased from generation to generation. And this is the easiest and most time-consuming, other methods are more difficult, but as long as it is successful, it is also a lot of improvement.

"But, my lord, what is the tax? We don't have a job, how do we pay taxes? We don't have the ability to invent anything, we don't have the ability to improve production conditions! "Yes! I can't do it, adult! "My lord, we really can't do it!" ……

The flagmen started to make a fuss, and then apparently they started to be unstable. However, no matter how much they have a headache, those Taiwanese government officials will not continue to pay their salaries. Because these people are all second-class citizens, and even first-class citizens have not directly received money from the government, how can second-class citizens get it? In addition, Taiwan also has the so-called subsistence allowance, and the subsistence allowance is not high, and the standard is actually very low. In fact, the subsistence allowance is enough for a family to eat sweet potatoes every month, and it can only guarantee that it will not starve to death, but it cannot guarantee that it will be able to eat enough. Therefore, this subsistence allowance is still relatively pitiful, and this is also the reason for Taiwan's current lack of financial resources. No matter how rich the government is, it is impossible to send money directly to the people.

As for the so-called governments that gave money to the people in later generations, they were generally those monarchies. But those people seriously ignored that those monarchs, through their own power, monopolized the mineral resources of the country that belonged to the people of the whole country, and then all the income from minerals also went into the monarch's pocket. Then the monarch once again gave some small favors to the ordinary people, so that they all thought that the government was giving money, and they were grateful to the government. But they didn't know that these minerals should belong to the whole people, but they were swallowed by those monarchs.

"Silence, I tell you, there is no way to restore the salary. This is absolutely impossible, so you are dead to this heart, right? The government official on the stage said.

"But my lord, how are we going to live!" "Yes! Then you'll have to give us a way to live! ”……

"We don't give you a way to live, you can find a job on your own!" The official on the stage said.

"But what can we do?" "We can't do anything!" ……

It has to be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always hoped to keep these bannermen capable of riding and shooting, and did not hesitate to use their banner salary to support them. But in fact, they didn't continue training at all, they have been masters since they entered the customs, so naturally they don't want to train martial arts, they choose to enjoy it. Then many years have passed, and they have long forgotten their ability to fight the world back then. And when it comes to their descendants, or the later generations, they are all facing a very tragic result, and in the later generations, they have also lost all the family property accumulated when they fought the world, and they have not learned martial arts. And they don't have the means to make a living, so they live a miserable life.

In fact, these banner men can't farm, they can't work, they almost don't know anything. This is a situation left by their ancestors, who have long lost the means to make a living, and if they lose their salary, they will not be able to make a living.

"Next, we arrange for you to enter vocational skills schools, as well as various technical schools, you can all go in and study, so that you can learn the means to make a living, so that you can make a living, isn't it? So, you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you study hard, you can also earn an income and make a living, understand? Don't blame our new government for not giving you a chance, this is also an opportunity, if you can't grasp it, don't blame our government for being unkind in the future. We have done our best for you, don't think about anything everywhere, make a good living, don't think about returning to the Qing Dynasty in the past. (To be continued......)
