Chapter 190: Change
When the top wants to face the bottom at the same time, it is not a group of people who can be avoided first if they see themselves as special.
When the lower echelons realize that the edifice will topple, it is not the time for tall people to stop mocking the sacred. A civilization is great because of it.
By the time the swarm breached the Star Gate, the government had already carried out a high level of mobilization, and the mobilization went even further, with major cities beginning to dig underground tunnels, and some areas of the population being forcibly relocated by the army. A strict curfew system was implemented at night, and residents were rationed for electricity for a limited time system. The inconveniences brought about by these systems have led to massive complaints in society. Not only the residents complained, but even the entire social management class complained about the sudden work and the tough work assignment indicators. All government offices are equipped with cameras. You can openly check it on the Internet, what you are doing.
These wartime policies of the Government seemed too harsh in peacetime and were contrary to the idea of freedom that had gradually developed in peacetime.
Yet on the seventy-sixth day. As the first swarm spores landed, a bug killed seventy-three people in the downtown area. Great social fears quelled accusations of wartime management. Further institutional changes then began.
The above is only the supervision of production, and supervising whether each producer has paid the responsibility is equivalent to putting a shackle on every producer, and the subsequent system sets the supervision for every consumer. Before that, the biggest producers were the working class, and the biggest consumers were probably not the working class.
Salary income, what is purchased on a daily basis. What is consumed, this law that used to be a violation of privacy also begins to be enforced.
The so-called communist material abundance is greatly distributed according to demand, so that people in the era of commodity economy have an illusion - what they want? The power and duty must be equal, and what you want, you have to prove that you are useful. When the consumption record is recorded and can be publicly searched, but the desired thing is not used well, the rating will be downgraded.
For example, buying more than 40 sets of the same clothes, ordering a lot of food in the common eating area but not eating it. Buy dozens of luxury cars to show off in underground garages, buy dozens of houses, but sit idle all year round. This is not morally reproachable in the era of the commodity economy, when the privacy of individual consumption is protected. And now all unethical consumption is exposed to the sun.
All these changes in the social system depend on the establishment of laws that could not have been established in the past era, and the ripple effect is the cost of entertainment and banquets in the name of corporations and corporate receptions, which were originally negotiated for business and then arranged for accommodation and meals. and the cost of high-class banquets held by entertainment stars, and even the buyers and sellers of every luxury item. will be monitored in the information age.
Existing property has not been inventoried and is no longer necessary. But all the wealth operations of the future society are made public. It was a devastating blow to high society.
When the public knew that a dress worn by the upper class was a tailor, and that the tailor-maker obtained enough money from the upper class to spend a month for ten families. This is quite a high society for the need for a piece of clothing interfered with the distribution of the ten families of the society for a month's subsistence materials, which were not distributed to the laborers, but to the service of making a piece of clothing for the upper class.
This is standard overconsumption. According to the latest law, banks belong to the government's finances, and they have the right to lower their credit ratings and prohibit loans to individuals who consume too much and waste social wealth. In the past, it was difficult to distinguish between entrepreneurs and big capitalists, and capitalism used this to attack.
But under the new system, it is enough to look at consumption, the house you live in, the food you eat, and the items you consume are the same as the public. There are tens of millions of assets under the name to operate social production, and such a consumption record is good. If there is no extravagance and waste of social resources, it is clear that he is a social entrepreneur. Mixing in the upper class and spending money like dirt is definitely more than the amount of resources that a person should ask for from society. Then it can't be said to be a business.
This is the biggest change in the socio-economic system in the counterattack of the tower civilization is to regulate all consumption. Such a system requires a strong base of productive forces.
Because the Earth Soviets used this trick in the war of statehood. But it can't be regulated, and many farmers need food, but government policymakers don't know exactly what the exact number of such needs is. And now is the information age. monitoring equipment, as well as supercomputers. Technology has made the conditions for supervision and management satisfied, and it depends on whether the whole society has the determination to implement it.
In the workers' canteen, Ren Di munched on mushroom-stuffed buns while looking at the new policy of the newspaper on the cans produced in his own factory, nodded lightly, swallowed the food and said: "Only when society becomes more and more fair, will productivity become higher and higher." This is the fate of society dominated by modern technology. ”
Since the purpose is to make the society recognize its own achievements and become a number, why bother to convert the number into physical wealth to feed a large number of servants, and let a large number of celebrities come to make the society recognize their achievements.
Ren Di clicked on his electronic device and looked up his wealth on the Internet - these wealth value figures, and the process of accumulating these wealth. There is also a consumption figure at the back. After reading these two strings of numbers, Ren Di finished the canned food and steamed buns, leisurely enjoying the comfort of eating alone.
The camera switches, on another planet that was a fourth-level civilization a hundred years ago, and this planet has advanced from the terrible steam age to the electricity age in a hundred years. The social change came from the great migration of the nobles of the original tower civilization. For this fourth-level civilization area, the whole society has progressed, but relatively speaking, the upper class people of the iron tower who have migrated over, in this world with a strong aristocratic atmosphere, in order to protect their ruling authority, their aristocratic atmosphere is even heavier.
Xie Ming, as a force that competed with the Self-Examination Association a hundred years ago, has been a dictatorship here for nearly a hundred years except that he has not been proclaimed emperor. In the past hundred years, the illusion of counterattacking the tower civilization has long been shattered. In the past 100 years, the institutional sophistication of the Self-Examination Society has regulated the industrial production of tens of thousands of planets into one. Landing on the moon, building a space city, building a deep-sea laboratory, building bridges across mountains and straits. One industrial achievement after another has already crushed the idea of these nobles to counterattack, and there are no residues left. All that remains is panic.
Almost every old aristocratic force sent members to the iron tower under the construction of the Self-Inspection Society. Trying to understand the current situation of the tower. The main thing is to understand that there have been signs of revolutionary export in the self-examination meeting recently.
However, now Xie Ming has received the latest information from the informant, and the self-assessment meeting has begun to enter a state of war, the object of the war is the alien race in space, and the alien war that has not been started for a hundred years is now coming. The enemy is unusually fierce and cold-blooded. Like a bee colony, it has a strict hierarchical order.
And this war made Xie Ming very complicated, it stands to reason that he should be happy that the self-inspection will be unlucky, but the latest envoy of the self-inspection association has begun to transfer some advanced industrial technology. A lot of industrial materials that are future science and technology compared to Xie Ming's forces have been opened. - The reason is for the continuation of the tower civilization.
Xie Ming looked at the family elders on the mahogany conference table, and said hoarsely: "What do you think about this matter. ”
An elder stood up and said: "We can laugh at the technology they give, but I don't accept any of their people, the people in the bandit area have been stubborn under the brainwashing of the self-inspection society, if you accept these people with a soft heart, it will leave a big disaster in the future." I suggest that the border be guarded tightly, and that anyone who dares to approach the border be shot and killed. ”
After the patriarch finished speaking, the other patriarchs nodded one after another: "Yes, yes." "To prevent this, this is a conspiracy of their united front."
In the noisy conference hall. Xie Ming, who was full of age spots, looked at everyone with eyes that could not see any emotion. Not a word was spoken. Xie Ming felt that he didn't need to say anything by himself. The self-inspection committee did not say anything about the plan of exile, and according to the informant, there was a special atmosphere in the tower now.
The members of the 30 billion self-inspection association are publicized to be ready to take the lead at all times. In such a crisis, this kind of slogan that does not leave room for oneself has been frequently repeated repeatedly. The new systems are strongly enforced. Xie Ming is very familiar with this kind of self-examination meeting, just like the self-examination meeting a hundred years ago, the belief that had been indifferent for a long time in the era of peace suddenly became important.
On his side, Xie Ming looked at the magnates in the conference hall who were like frogs croaking, and the corners of his mouth showed helplessness. With a sigh in his heart, he silently recited: "Forget it, it can be regarded as a complete defeat." ”
camera switching,
On the boundary gate of a planet to which Xie Ming's forces belong and the Self-Appraisal Association. The light of the stars stretched the shadows of the barbed wire outposts on either side of the stargate. The soldiers on the Xie family's side looked nervously at the area of the self-inspection meeting.
Xie Yun looked at the area over there in amazement, this was the last time he passed the news to the Xie family.
Li Hongxing patted Xie Yun and said, "Really, don't you go back?" Xie Yun turned his head to look at Li Hongxing, and a smile was squeezed on his stiff face: "Do you want to see me leave with my head down so much?" ”
Li Hongxing was silent for a while and said, "At least it's safe over there." Xie Yun said: "There is a price to look up. Looking up in front of you, it takes a price, I understand the price, but I lose to your bloodline, but I don't want to lose to you in other aspects. ”
Xie Yun raised his right palm, and Li Hongxing also raised his right palm to high-five him, and after the high-five, the two hands were tightly clasped together.
