Chapter 288: Oppose
Binding the elderly and children together can also play a role in catalyzing.
Li Xingchen has made suggestions on this point before.
For example, when the old couple reaches retirement age, as long as they find out that they have three children in this life, they can receive a pension every month.
The elderly couple with less than three children can also apply for the subsistence allowance if their lives are really difficult.
In short, the issue of people's livelihood cannot be left behind, and everyone must have food to eat and a good life.
The matter of new life is imperative and cannot be postponed any longer.
The population of Dawei is already small, and in a few years it will enter an aging society, and Dawei will be in danger.
Therefore, in Li Xingchen's ideal, every family must have at least five children.
As long as you are willing to give birth, the court will give you a subsidy.
"How should social security be implemented?" The prime minister asked, and the six ministries of the three provinces also listened.
Well... Li Xingchen thought for a while, and after a while, he said: "People who have reached the age of retirement will distribute pensions according to the children born.
If you have money, but not enough children, you can do it all at once. Make up 300,000 yuan, and then the imperial court will distribute 2,000 yuan per month as a pension.
As for the young people who have not yet reached retirement age, let them pay 1,000 yuan per month to the imperial court, and the minimum level is to pay 1,500 yuan per month after retirement.
After 20 years of payment, the second grade, after retirement, you can receive an extra part every month, and the specific amount will be discussed in detail, and it will be roughly determined first.
The court officials are directly deducted from the monthly salary, and the money distributed to you is the amount of the pension deducted.
In this way, after the age of 60, the imperial court will issue the highest level of pension, so that you can live a decent retirement life.
Regarding the pension, Li Xingchen is divided into several grades according to the general rules of later generations.
The imperial court is a central government department, and the amount of money distributed at that time will be much more than that of the people.
However, his remarks were unanimously opposed by the six ministries of the three provinces.
Taking people's money is like killing parents, and they want to deduct their so-called pensions, what can they do?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, and this will be opposed by the vast majority of people.
As we all know, now the court officials are hereditary, and the family has money and food, even if they don't need a pension, they can live well.
And if His Majesty must deduct money, it will inevitably lead people to reverie, thinking that His Majesty is using pensions as an excuse to save expenses for the imperial court. ”
Ministry of Industry Shangshu said.
As a scholar, he is very sensitive to the economic aspect, and feels that Li Xingchen's idea is fantastical, and may not be realized, but will become the target of public criticism. this
A pension model can be aimed at ordinary people, how can it infringe on the interests of all officials?
Originally, there was not much money, and some of it had to be deducted?
Even if they are from a family, they can't use up the money in the family, but they are deducted from their own, and they feel uncomfortable.
Li Xingchen squinted, these people are really daring, dare to say in front of themselves that the family is not bad for money, and there is no need for the court to distribute pensions, do you really think that you have no way to take them?
In fact, there is one more thing that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu did not dare to say, that is
On the question of the rise and fall of the imperial court.
With Li Xingchen's pension model, it can be inferred that he hopes that Great Wei will rule for a long time.
But throughout history, what kingdom has really endured?
In case the money is paid here, and the country is ruined in a few years, who will go to pay the money?
Not to mention that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not agree, and if they did not brainwash the people first, I am afraid that the people would not pay the so-called pension out of their own pockets.
It's about the same for free.
Even if Li Xingchen is personally powerful, works hard to govern the Great Wei in an orderly manner, and the surrounding countries dare not invade again, he is also a person, and it is inevitable that he will die.
In the future, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, what if he is a person who is greedy for pleasure? What about cheating, not paying pensions?
Let's not talk about these things first, let's talk about individuals, how old can a person live in his life?
He only retired at sixty, and in terms of the mortality rate of Dawei, he basically died at the age of seventy, and he worked hard to pay so much money all his life. Can only receive a pension for ten years?
Is there a difference between the calculation and the money you pay in?
Maybe there will be some surplus profits, but rather than money in other people's pockets, it is better not to have these surplus profits, or to put them in your own pockets with peace of mind.
The Prime Minister nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, what Chenjue's Ministry of Industry Shangshu said is right."
The prime minister had five sons and one daughter.
He is an honest official, but he earns a lot of money on the profits of the newspaper, and he has the confidence that he can live well without a pension.
And he is over sixty years old and needs to pay a one-time supplementary pension, can he do it?
This kind of method of collecting money can be used on the people, but how can it be used on the top level of the country?
Either the state treasury will be opened to subsidize officials, otherwise none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will agree.
"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal." The three provinces and six ministries spoke one after another.
Li Xingchen's face became colder and colder, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Let's start with the people first, and explain to them all the benefits of social security." ”
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they don't let them pay for it, the people will be easy to say, and the official words will be open.
Li Xingchen regressed, and did not rely on the fact that he was the emperor to force officials to pay social security.
This problem needs to be slowed down, as urgent as giving birth to a child, as long as the people understand it and slowly spread it, he still doesn't believe that these families are not red-eyed.
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers glanced at each other and smiled proudly.
"Alright, you all stand down."
After speaking, Li Xingchen pushed open the door of the imperial study, walked in, and slammed the door shut, expressing his dissatisfaction with them with actions.
On the surface, these officials seem to listen to him, are loyal to him, compliment him, and when interests are involved, including the prime minister, they stand on the opposite side of him.
There is no way, they will have different thoughts in different positions, and they can't be blamed.
With the publicity and popularization of the imperial court, many people have bought social security.
Although I don't know how to publicize it, the prime minister took the initiative to tell Li Xingchen that he was coerced and intimidated.
Tell the people that in the future, if they can't work, have no source of income, and are old, they will not be able to live, and the burden will be on their children.
Therefore, some timid people have taken the initiative to pay social security when they are young and strong and have a little spare money.
As for the bottom and middle level of the Highway Bureau, they are selected by the people, and they have no official position in substance, and they will be fired if they say that they are fired.
And they also know that the Great Wei will build roads in the next few decades, and being obedient here and responding to the call of the imperial court to buy social security will reduce the probability of being fired, so they are very willing to pay social security.
