Chapter 418: Insurance Company
Jia Liping knew that this was not Li Zhen's alarmism.
Counting the rebellions and uprisings in historical events, which time was not the common people who couldn't live anymore?
But where a court is incompetent, full of greed and corruption. There will be a voice of resistance.
Isn't this kind of microcosm caused by the huge disparity between the rich and the poor? The rich are richer, and the poor are poorer.
Although we don't know what kind of social contradictions will arise in the new Kyushu, the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor that is about to emerge will be very great. Jinchang County will definitely not be the first case, and it will soon be generalized and concrete.
"Then what does Master Li think should be done?"
Jia Liping asked.
Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time. One conclusion is that there is no solution to the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor. ”
"How can there be no solution?"
"Because man is a social animal, but where he lives in a group, there must be a hierarchy, there will be a class system. There will be the crusher, and the crushed. ”
Jia Liping frowned: "How can this be?" ”
"Look at the wolves, the head wolf doesn't need to do anything. It just needs to sit back and command the wolves of the lower status in the pack to go out hunting. And those hunting wolves paid labor and danger, and in the end, the greatest fruit was actually enjoyed by the head wolf. In the relationship between wolves, the head wolf is the oppressor, and the wolf pack is the oppressed. And how can this problem be solved? ”
Jia Liping thought for a while and said: "So in the end, there will always be a battle between the head wolf, and the head will be bloody." In order to compete for the position of the head wolf, obtain more benefits and even mating rights. ”
"Yes, it's the same with people. Isn't it true that people are fighting for more monetary interests, verbal interests, and mating rights in this life? At best, it's fame, money, and women. There is also an invisible control. Then the crowd is the same as the wolf pack, and the gap between the rich and the poor can never be eliminated. ”
"What then?"
"There is no way, so we can only use roundabout strategies to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, to shorten the gap between the rich and the poor. Through roundabout strategies, the possibility of social conflicts erupting is minimized. ”
"Then what kind of work should Li Shi think should be used to reduce this contradiction?"
Li Zhense said: "It's nothing more than four points." ”
"Please ask Master Li for advice."
"First, while the national strength is prosperous, the people can have surplus money in their pockets. This is the same as today's national policy, which strives to provide policies to make the people rich and prosperous together. This is also the economic development that the state is currently advocating. ”
"The second is to reduce monopoly income and crack down on monopoly. That is, in a sense, to fight the oligarchs, to distribute property equally to more people, and to give more people the opportunity to create wealth. ”
"Third, establish a sound social security system. We must give the poor hope to live, and as long as there is hope, there will be fewer people who take risks. This kind of social security system, as I think of it, is to increase the income of the people and protect the rights and interests of the people. Medical security, personal security security, retirement pension security, financial income security. These are all going to happen. ”
"The last point is to strengthen the construction of criminal law. Use the protection of property to dilute the idea of ordinary people taking risks, and use strict criminal law to completely eliminate such incidents. According to the analysis of economics, everything needs to be done at a cost. The sword of lowering the gap between the rich and the poor and diluting social contradictions is nothing more than increasing the cost of crime for the common people. ”
Jia Liping listened carefully and asked, "So it means that such a situation is eliminated from the criminal law?" Heavy punishment for misdemeanors, severe punishment for serious crimes? ”
"Nope. The restraint of the criminal law alone will not be effective, but will make the people's livelihood miserable. Therefore, criminal law is only an auxiliary, and the most important thing is to improve social welfare. Let everyone feel happy, have more things to enjoy, and be able to enjoy. In this way, no one will let go of the happiness and run to take risks and pay the price of overturning. ”
But Li Zhen sighed again: "But these four are simple. In fact, some of them are too idealistic and extremely difficult to implement. ”
Jia Liping was puzzled: "I think it's quite simple." Why is it so difficult again? ”
"To implement these four points. It is necessary for the people to be generally educated, to have a certain level of knowledge, and to be able to accept new things. In fact, cracking down on monopoly and sharing property equally, in a certain sense, is very simple. The most difficult point is the collective approval of the people. There are also small institutions below that really give jobs to the people, whether they will strictly implement the policy. It's all unforeseeable. ”
"Then send a supervisory agency to supervise small businesses, small companies, and small positions."
"It's not that simple. Liping, you are still blinded by Dongzhou. Not every place is like Dongzhou. In fact, in this question, you have avoided one topic, which is the human heart. ”
Li Zhen frowned and said: "People die for money, birds die for food." When major policies are implemented at the grassroots level, they often turn sour. If small enterprises want to obtain more profits, they can only squeeze from the laborers. It is also difficult for the government to enforce if it wants to supervise, because there are too many to manage. So in the end, it will develop into officials collecting black money and turning a blind eye. From this point of view, this not only did not work, but instead gave birth to a culture of corruption. ”
"Ah, what then?"
Li Zhen said calmly: "So in the end, we still have to do it with the Kyushu Academy of Sciences." ”
"Huh? How do we do that? We are not a country, so we can't overstep our authority every time, right? ”
"Don't overstep your authority, you still have to think of a way from the perspective of capital. I have a general concept in my head, which is to set up an insurance company. Insurance companies directly intervene between laborers and oppressors, and provide insurance services directly to the people without going through the oppressors. ”
"What is an insurance service?"
"Protect the rights and interests of the people and protect the interests of the people."
Li Zhen said quietly, thinking of the insurance company that Zhang Zhi had mentioned to him before. He felt that it was time for insurance companies to appear in New Kyushu.
This topic did not go any further.
Jia Liping has a concept in his heart. Li Zhen also knows nothing about the specific implementation, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and can only take one step at a time. Who knows what will happen next?
Instead, Li Zhen asked, "What is the situation of cultivated land in Jinchang County now?" ”
"Li Shi, now the Jinchang County Government, has jurisdiction over all towns and villages. The common people are lining up for the territory, and the pomp and circumstance are unprecedented. In Jinchang County, the cultivation of hybrid rice is basically a certainty. But I can't guarantee other counties. ”
"Is it because those agricultural machinery and equipment can't be recognized by others?"
"Yes, many people say that the land grown by machines has no spirituality. It was only after the people of Jinchang County saw the actual situation and the recent crackdown that the situation improved. Elsewhere, it's hard. ”
Li Zhen muttered: "This is a problem. Jinchang County didn't stay for the first time, and went to Xun Shifei to see what the situation was. ”
