It is obviously not feasible to imitate the Haihan people in the production process, although Li Nai felt a little depressed, but he quickly accepted this fact. After all, the strength of "Fu Ruifeng" is trafficking, not production, and the profits generated in the process of commodity circulation are the most important part of "Fu Ruifeng", and as for the relatively troublesome matter of organizing production, it is better to leave it to more professional people.

After visiting the production process of the salt factory, Li Nai asked the salt farmers who came here, to be more precise, "salt factory members" to see their homes. Anthy readily agreed to the request and took them to a dormitory at the foot of the inland mountains.

Because a large amount of labor was used for the production and renovation of the salt works, the residents still lived mainly in the boat-shaped houses built in the early days, and there was no time to build more solid brick houses for the time being. At present, there are more than 300 members and managers in Yanchang Commune, and a group of about 100 new immigrants will be assigned here in the near future. The distribution of boat-shaped houses is basically based on the rule of one room per household, and if the household is two or even three generations, the public community will make other arrangements as appropriate.

Although the accommodation conditions were relatively simple, Li Nai did not see the depressed and desperate expressions of the salt farmers in the Daming Salt Farm from the faces of these members, who had the same ruddy faces as the farm members he saw yesterday, and had a heartfelt sense of awe for the Haihan people. As long as they saw Anxi and the others coming, they would stop what they were doing, stand up straight and bow. And the clothing style and color of these members are very consistent, which is obviously issued to them by the Haihan people. There are hundreds of people on this farm, and this alone is not a small number.

Li Nai couldn't help but ask: "Looking down, the people of this farm and salt farm are all dressed in uniform down, why do you bother to buy clothes for them?"

Tao Donglai responded: "We do this for two reasons, one is to make it easier to manage, and I think Mr. Li must have noticed that the workers on the farm, the salt works and other places wear different colors of clothes, so that you can know the unit to which the workers belong at a glance." The second is that the uniform clothing gives them a sense of identity with the community in which they live, and for them, this clothing is actually like the military uniform worn by soldiers, and when they wear this dress every day, they will realize that they are members of the Yanchang commune. ”

Li Nai was suspicious: "Is this really useful?"

Tao Dong came to beckon, and called a nearby member who was working: "Member, report your identity!"

When the man saw Anxi standing behind the questioner, he knew that most of them were the big names among the Haihan people, and he responded sincerely in fear according to the usual teachings: "Report to the chief, the villain Jiang San, the junior laborers of the three brigades of the Yanchang Commune. ”

Tao Donglai pointed at Li Nai and said, "Whatever question this Mr. Li asks you, you answer him honestly, understand?"

Jiang San nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, understand, understand." ”

Li Nai didn't expect Tao Donglai to do this, so he casually asked, "Jiang San, how did you come here? How long have you been here?"

Jiang Sanying said: "Back to Mr. Li, the villain came to Shengli Port by boat from Yazhou on the fifth day of the first month of last month. ”

"Then why did you come here from Yazhou to do things?" Li Nai continued.

Jiang San's face turned gloomy and said: "Back to Mr. Li, the villain's father was bedridden with a sudden illness last year, and his family was poor, so he could only mortgage a few acres of land to borrow money for treatment, but he still couldn't be saved after all." The villain was unable to repay the loan for a while, and the creditor was in a hurry, and the family's land and house were all taken away. The villain doesn't know anything except farming, and he can't find a living with a hukou in Yazhou, and later he knew that the Haihan chiefs were recruiting, and they were paid for food and housing, so the villain went to register. If it hadn't been taken in by the chiefs, the villain would have starved to death in Yazhou City at this time. ”

"What do you think of this place?" asked Li Nai as he continued. He was really curious about how the local people regarded the existence of the Haihan people, and it was rare to have such an opportunity to ask in person, Li Nai naturally would not let it go, but he didn't know if this Jiang San had the courage to answer this question.

Sure enough, Jiang San's face became a little hesitant, and he turned his head slightly to look at Tao Donglai's expression. Tao Donglai didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Say whatever you think!"

Jiang San gritted his teeth and said, "Back to Mr. Li, the villain feels very unfair after coming here!"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Donglai's face did not change much, but Anxi's brows furrowed, and he said in his heart If you dare to talk nonsense, you will be sent to a labor camp to be reformed and reformed when you turn around, and then you will know why your new life is so precious!

Li Nai was surprised, he didn't expect that his question was really famous, and he subconsciously responded: "What's unfair?"

"After the villain came here, he found that everyone here has food, clothing, and a house to live in, but they don't need to spend a penny, as long as they work hard, they still have wages to get at the end of the month, why don't I have such a good place where nothing needs to be spent on anything? The villain worked so diligently in Yazhou, but in the end he only ended up homeless. The two places are only 100 miles apart, why are they so different? Why is God treating people so unfairly?" Jiang San complained angrily, but he didn't notice that several of the audience members were already dumbfounded.

Li Nai really wanted to say that if you were to be a domestic servant for me, you could have the same treatment, but when you think about it, it feels wrong, the Haihan people don't use these people as domestic servants, but long-term employees with food and accommodation, but the cost of using this long-term labor is slightly higher. He Qiang had already caught the loophole in Jiang San's words and refuted: "You came here, and someone in your family saw a doctor and took medicine, which also cost money." ”

Jiang San shook his head and said: "The leaders said that no money will be charged for members to see a doctor and take medicine. ”

He Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Children always have to be given money for reading and literacy. ”

Jiang San continued to shake his head and said: "The leaders said that the members and the children of the members don't need money to study!"

"That wedding, funeral, red and white celebration, always need to be organized with your own money!" He Qiang continued to give examples.

Jiang San glanced at him like a fool and said: "Mr. is talking about the rules of the Ming Dynasty, there is a Red and White Council here, which is in charge of organizing red and white ceremonies, and the money spent is also given by the leaders!"

"This ......" He Qiang was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of anything else that could refute Jiang San's words.

In this process, Tao Donglai didn't speak, he just kept listening, but he was secretly laughing at his original civil administration design, it seems that some of his original civil management designs are now gradually being realized, and the treatment of low income and high welfare has achieved very good results in buying the hearts of ordinary people, and the people's sense of identity with these tangible benefits is quite high.

From the very beginning of the design of the system for the treatment of naturalized citizens, the Executive Committee decided to adopt a low-income and high-welfare approach. This is because the Ming Dynasty in this period was in the stage of continuous collapse of social order, and the vast majority of the people who actively or passively took refuge in the rule of the crossing group were unable to survive normally in the original environment, and the crossing group could provide them with a comprehensive social security system. Even if there are not many opportunities to make a fortune in this system, it is already attractive enough for these people who want to live in a stable environment.

As Jiang San said, when the people entered the commune system and became naturalized citizens, almost all their daily expenses would be replaced by collectivized overall arrangements. Food, clothing, study, medical treatment, and even birth, old age, sickness and death, all of which were under the responsibility of the commune management committee and its subordinate grass-roots institutions with detailed functions, and ordinary people could not even find the need to spend money in the commune environment.

The cost of such a comprehensive employee benefit is naturally not small, but from the perspective of information feedback, the return is also quite worthwhile, and when the people realize that their current treatment can only be obtained under the Haihan Executive Committee, the degree of recognition of the collective they belong to will be higher. When the day comes when they need to push it outward or take up arms to defend the social system, it is likely that there will be no ideological mobilization at all.

Of course, these huge welfare expenditures are still wool from the sheep, and after all, they all come from the value of the products created by these people in the commune and in the factory. The Executive Committee returned some of these values to the naturalized community in the form of social security benefits rather than wages, which was already a remarkable move in the eyes of the naturalized people, and some would even regard these social guarantees as "the kindness of the Haihan chief".

Some people believe that this will lead to a poor circulation of local commodities in the future, because the general low income of the people will make the social consumption capacity very limited, and a large number of industrially produced products can only be exported, while the local people will not be able to enjoy them.

However, economic experts led by Schneider quickly refuted this view, saying that the traversal group with the planned economy as the key link could completely avoid this situation by regulating the internal commodity circulation prices. The high export price of goods does not mean that they will circulate internally at the same price.

For example, the factory price of a set of glass stationery of 10 yuan can be completely reduced to one-tenth or even less when supplied to the academy internally. Tongguò's internal price control of products can even allow people to enjoy products that will be sold overseas at a higher price than the cost price. In this way, even low-income people have the opportunity to live a middle-class life. The financial subsidies required for internal price reductions can be recovered in the form of compensation for losses in the embankment, and compared with the export volume of industrial products that can be expected in the future, this internal digestion capacity is really nothing.
