Chapter 327 Welfare Mechanism
"My lord, those two are so rude." Bian Ji said with some indignation.
"Huh."
"Don't you think so?"
"It's okay"
"My lord, if everyone is like those two, how can this be?"
Lin Bei thought for a while, and said, "Master, you have to change this thinking." ”
"Huh?" Bian Ji didn't expect adults to talk about him.
"The fact that those two people were able to come to me just now shows that in their hearts, Lord Ben is trustworthy and can be convinced by the common people, which is a great good thing, on the contrary, it also shows that they don't trust the rest of the people, and at the same time, it also shows that the officials are incompetent and not worthy of the trust of the common people."
"But"
"No, but, you can't make excuses, the officials are parents to these ordinary people, if the people under the rule don't even believe in their parents, do you think those parents are qualified? Maybe in your heart, your parents are supposed to be high, but Master Ben doesn't think so, so, Master, you must change your thinking, and if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, you must be happy. ”
Lin Bei was talking about Bian Ji, but he wasn't talking about himself, when the two of them came just now, Lin Bei was still a little unhappy at first, what does this mean? It shows that he already has some habits on top, and this habit is unavoidable, when this habit is integrated into Lin Bei's life, Lin Bei is not Lin Bei.
After waking up, Lin Bei was secretly vigilant, this was too dangerous, some habits could be changed, but some habits could never be changed.
Bian Ji didn't speak.
"What? Does the Master think that what Master Ben said is wrong? ”
Bian Ji shook his head at this time: "Adult, the students are also waking themselves up." ”
"I hope you can do what you say you will do." Lin Bei said meaningfully.
Originally, Lin Bei was going to go back to the City Lord's Mansion after going to the Jishi Medical Center, but he didn't want to go back to the City Lord's Mansion at the moment. Only by knowing the suffering of the people can we truly maintain our former true colors.
"Let's go, let's go to the city again." Thinking of this, Lin Beiyou is prosperous.
The planning of Xiangyang City is similar to that of many times, with the rich and the slum areas in different directions, such as the south and west of the city, where almost all the people live are large and powerful. To the east and north of the city lived were peddlers and pawns.
Lin Bei generally rarely goes to the south and west of the city, and generally goes to the east and north of the city, and at this time it is no exception, and Bian Ji rushed to the east of the city.
The most common thing in the east of the city is the boatmen, and many industries also revolve around the boatmen, such as wine shops, selling some wine and food, such as inns, inns. A place for rest, such as the kiln, which is like a small modern shampoo room, with only a few people, or a single man, many boatmen have no families, and they have little money in their pockets, so they can only come to this kind of place for pleasure.
Except for the boatman. Many of the people in the east of the city are domestic servants in large families in the south and west of the city, such as the Huanyi woman. For example, the weeders, who would rush from the east of the city to the west and south of the city every day, toiled hard, and then became the peasants, and the land was almost all outside the city, and they had to go outside the city every day to cultivate. It was these people who built Xiangyang City.
Almost all of the previous warmth activities were carried out in the east and north of the city, and a large amount of money was sent, and the life of the people here was much better, and the streets became more prosperous.
Lin Bei has been here several times, and he is familiar with the roads here. Walking on the street, the common people saluted Lin Bei while busy with the things in their hands, which was different from the previous few hurried passes, this time Lin Bei paid more attention to practical problems.
An old woman was sitting on the stone bench at the door basking in the sun, her eyes and ears may not be very good, and she didn't see the arrival of the river god, Lin Bei saw that the house behind her was still very dilapidated, and gestured to Bian Ji, Bian Ji stepped forward: "Old woman, why is your house still so dilapidated?" ”
"Huh??" The old woman had a loud voice, but she obviously didn't understand what Bian Ji said, and sure enough, her ears were not good.
Bian Ji said loudly again.
The old woman looked at him, narrowed her eyes, and stopped talking.
Bian Ji's face twitched, and he asked again.
"You go, you go" The old woman opened her eyes and said loudly to Bian Ji, and grabbed a few handfuls on the ground, but fortunately she didn't catch anything, otherwise she would definitely give Bian Ji a few hard blows.
Bian Ji didn't dare to resist at all, and retreated again and again: "I said you mother-in-law, I just came to ask, why are you so rude." ”
A few women on the side hurried over, for fear that the river god and Bian Ji would cure the mother-in-law's sin, and a woman said quickly: "Lord River God, it's all his son's fault, the government originally sent money over, but his eldest son is a bad gambler, and he has been in the gambling house for the past few days, and he has never returned home, and even the food is sent by us, so naturally he can't take care of the house." ”
Bian Ji said angrily: "You mean that this mother-in-law's eldest son lost the money?" ”
"I don't know if I lost or not, I haven't returned for a few days anyway, and I'm extremely unfilial."
Bian Ji looked at Lin Bei, Lin Bei didn't speak, Bian Ji thought for a while and said, "The River God already knows about the situation, what do you think this matter should do?" ”
When it came to practicality, the women shook their heads and said they didn't know, and they didn't know if they really didn't know or didn't want to get into trouble.
"Bian Ji, let's go." Lin Bei nodded at them and said to Bian Jiyan.
After walking out of the road for a while, Bian Ji couldn't help it: "My lord, do you care about this matter?" ”
"What do you say, if it's you, what should you do?" Lin Bei asked.
Bian Ji also frowned suddenly, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, this kind of thing is the most difficult to manage, if the money is sent out, it is someone else's, to put it mildly, it doesn't matter how others spend the government, even if they lose the gambling.
Is it because of bad gambling that you will be arrested? And what about the old woman? Although his son is a bad gambler, he can be sent to the end in the future, but if his son is arrested, there will be no one to send him to the end.
So Bian Ji thought about it, although he hated it so much, but there was still no good way, as soon as he looked up, he saw the appearance of the old god of Lin Bei, Bian Ji said how to forget the adult, he didn't know it doesn't mean that the adult doesn't know.
"I beg you to show me."
"If someone gambles, can they be caught?" Lin Bei asked first.
In this era, prostitution is legal, but Lin Beizhen doesn't know if gambling is also legal. So you have to ask first.
"It depends on the amount of money they gamble, my lord."
"Then arrest it and replace it with work." Lin Bei said categorically, grabbed it and forced him to work.
"What about the old woman? As a result, there is no one to take care of it. Bian Ji asked, he was worried about this.
"You don't think that's going to work. How about supporting these lonely elderly people with the government's funds? ”
Bian Ji opened his mouth wide, there was no such concept in this era, so there was a saying that raising children to prevent old age, giving birth to sons, and when the sons grow up, the children will raise them, if their children are filial, then everything is fine. If you are not filial, then you can only blame the previous life for creating evil.
In fact, Lin Bei proposed this idea because of the middle-aged man borrowing money just now, and he remembered the welfare mechanism of later generations, so he wanted to implement it in this era.
The common people will encounter a lot of difficulties in their lives, most of these difficulties are caused by money, and it is really not just a matter of saying that it is difficult to move an inch without money, Lin Bei remembers that when he was a child, some of his neighbors near his home were very poor. I have heard my parents say that the tuition fee of the school in the early 90s was only a dozen or twenty yuan. But this is the kind of money that many families can't come up with, and they end up dropping out of school, and if someone gets sick, it's a very heavy burden. Generally, I don't go to the hospital, it's all up to the body to resist, it's good to resist a qiē, if you can't resist, you have to die before you can go to the hospital once. Due to the aggravation of the condition, the hospital had no choice, and in the end he could only wait for death, which was quite miserable.
This era is similar, even more cruel than later generations, after all, there is no welfare mechanism in this era, and some local sergeants who die in war do not even have pensions, but they have to be forcibly conscripted into the army, Lin Bei feels that this welfare mechanism can still be launched as soon as possible.
Like the situation of middle-aged people, if there is no money, in the future life, you can go to the shelter, the shelter will take care of the food, and will also notify the family, if there is no family and get sick, the state will also reimburse most of it, and like the case of the old woman, once the son is imprisoned, he can apply to enter the nursing home, and he can also spend his old age in peace, this is what Lin Bei wants to do, it is best to let the common people form a concept in the future: if there is a difficulty, find the government, and the government can really solve it, not an empty word.
Lin Bei said the concept of this welfare system, Bian Ji's mouth opened wider and wider, and when Lin Bei finished speaking, Bian Ji sighed: "My lord, my lord's idea is good, but it may be difficult to do it, where does the government have so much money." ”
"What else would you do with taxes? Just to give you a monthly rule? ”
Bian Jixin said that today is really unlucky, everything this adult will be counted on his head, if he refutes again, I am afraid it will have to be preachy, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, my lord, the student agrees with the adult's point of view, this welfare mechanism really has to be done." ”
"Really?"
"Really." Bian Ji nodded vigorously.
"Okay, in that case, let's take out a part of your monthly routine and use it for the operation of the welfare mechanism, and besides, when you go back, you will bring up the matter."
Bian Ji thought about it, and his face suddenly became bitter: "My lord, it's okay to take out some monthly money, but if a villain brings up this matter, how should the officials in the city think of Bian Ji?" Why don't you bring it up to an adult? ”
"Afraid of what? This is to give you a chance to be a courtier. ”
"The villain can't be that reprimand"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it, and besides, you refine the idea and put it forward in the discussion when the time comes." Lin Bei said categorically.
Bian Ji was silent for a long time, and said faintly: "My lord, can you let the students look back at Haicheng?" ”
"What? Not happy to stay with Hon-sama? ”
"No" Bian Ji had a bitter face, and said in his heart that it was strange if there was no, and everything would be done with him, a close minister.
"Don't be bitter, this is a good thing for the present and the future, and when this welfare system is mentioned in the future, the common people will be grateful to you Bian Ji, you think about thousands of years and tens of thousands of years later, there is still your Bian Ji's spirit floating in the universe, what a scenery this is."
Bian Ji could only cough.
"The students have seen Lord River God and this Lord Bian." A voice rang out on the side again.
Bian Ji and Lin Bei took a look, it was really a coincidence, it was the middle-aged man and the boy again.
Lin Bei and Bian Ji's eyes fell on the young man's hand at the same time, and at this time, the young man was no longer carrying a medicine bag, but a pot of wine.
Seeing this pot of wine, Bian Ji was immediately furious and shouted, "You used the money and things you gave you to buy wine?" How old are you? Do you dare to drink alcohol, are you of legal age? ”
Lin Bei was speechless: "Master, you have crossed over, the lines are wrong"
Well, in fact, Bian Ji didn't say that, but looked at the two of them, with vigilance in his eyes: "Who are you two?" Why did you follow the river god? What is the intention? ”
"Just now the student and the little nephew passed by here, and they happened to hear the high talk of the river god, which was extremely wonderful, and on a whim, they stopped moving, not to follow." The middle-aged man was calm and calm, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all because he was eavesdropping on other people's conversations.
Lin Bei just nodded, his gaze still resting on the pot of wine.
"The students are a little confused, I wonder if Lord River God can solve their doubts?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Tell me about it."
"That's what you say, this welfare system is a system that provides livelihood security for special groups such as the elderly, orphans, and the disabled, who are living in difficulty, right?" The middle-aged man read it slowly.
"Well, you have a good memory." Lin Bei nodded.
"The heart of adults, students do not doubt it, but now the Central Plains is in turmoil, the people of Li are displaced, there are cannibalism in various states from time to time, and the state and county governments can't even take out the money and food for disaster relief, and even the young and strong will starve to death, not to mention these special difficult groups, even if Xiangyang is rich, but from the perspective of students, the number of these special difficult groups is also very large, with the power of a city, it is not easy to bear this matter, dare to ask the adults have ever thought about it, if the displaced people in various states hear about this and come to Xiangyang, how should the river god deal with these displaced people? If a student is like this, can an adult give ten gold each? ”
Bian Ji couldn't help but say, "Do you still know that the adult gave you ten gold?" He doesn't want to make a living, but he uses it to buy wine and drink, and he is called a scholar in vain. (To be continued......)
