Chapter 339: The Opponents
Brother Jiu continued: "As for this last point, it is to cancel the national subsidy for the flag people. ”
Suddenly, many people stood up against it.
This is a matter of welfare for all flag people, including their own, and naturally no one wants to watch the contents of their bowls run away.
Although there are only a few taels of silver a month, it is nothing to these high-ranking officials, who doesn't have hundreds of thousands of assets? But they also have descendants, and it is inevitable that there will not be a few unscrupulous children among the descendants.
Now that they are still there, they can naturally subsidize these incompetent children and grandchildren, but if they are no longer there one day, how will those incompetent children and grandchildren live? They must always think of a way to ensure the basic livelihood for future generations.
It can be said that this last point mentioned by Brother Jiu put the royal family and other Manchus on the opposite side.
Kangxi waited for everyone to express their opinions before he said slowly: "Well, Lao Jiu, the original intention of your proposal is good, but ......"
Without waiting for Kangxi to come to a conclusion, Brother Jiu grabbed the topic and said, "Khan Ama, please listen to Erchen's words." ”
Kangxi thought about it and nodded.
So Brother Jiu said: "Not to mention the question of whether the finances of the imperial court can afford this part of the cost after the increase in the number of people in the future." At present, after the banner people have this part of their income, they can already ensure that their lives are much better than that of ordinary Han people, which also causes many flag people to be idle and do not do their jobs. For these moths, what is the point of the court raising them for nothing? ”
Suo Etu said in a deep voice: "Their ancestors shed blood for the court, and this is the blessing they should enjoy. If this is canceled, who will dare to fight for the imperial court in the future? ”
Many people nodded in agreement with Suo Etu's words, they are willing to fight for the country, isn't it just to fight for a wife and leave a legacy for future generations?
Brother Jiu faced everyone and said, "Why is no one willing to fight on the battlefield for the imperial court?" For those who have achieved combat exploits, how to reward them is still how to reward them. Those who died fighting for the country should be compensated as they should. Besides, Ye only said that the national subsidy should be abolished, not that all subsidies should be abolished. ”
"Khan Amma, Erchen suggested that anyone who has reached the age of 50 can enjoy the subsidy of the imperial court. And those who fail within the age of fifteen can also enjoy the subsidy of the imperial court until the age of fifteen, and then the woman marries, and the man joins the army, and then he can naturally support himself as an adult. As for those between the ages of 15 and 50, those who are physically disabled and have no ability to earn a living can also enjoy the imperial court subsidy. ”
"In addition, any adult and able-bodied banner man can no longer enjoy the subsidy of the imperial court in vain!"
"Khan Ama, laziness makes people degenerate, for the sake of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, don't let the banner people be lazy!"
Brother Jiu lifted his shirt and knelt down.
The fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother followed closely: "For the sake of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, please ask Khan Ama to abolish the national subsidy policy for the banner people!" ”
The fifth elder brother is so excited, the ninth brother is so capable, as far as his performance today, it will definitely make many knowledgeable ministers come to join him, and the great cause that he can't accomplish may really be realized in the ninth brother.
After that, the knowledgeable ministers also knelt down and begged, and Suo Etu and the others could only kneel down when they saw that they could not do anything.
After all, the method mentioned by Brother Jiu has already covered most of the weak, and healthy adults, if they can't even support themselves, then they are not worthy of the help of the imperial court.
