8. Planning for the future (medium)
Three days later, taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to come back and rest, Han Wenzheng convened a plenary meeting of the Yanhuang clan, which was held in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Han Wenzheng said his thoughts, and finally said: "You can put forward any opinions you have, Tieyun, you are the eldest son, take the lead for your younger brothers, don't accept any opinions, your father and I are not a dictator." ”
Zhao Tieyun said: "The private ownership proposed by my father is good, but I think we don't need to do it now, because at this stage, we don't have the conditions to implement private ownership, and as for the currency issue mentioned by my father, we don't need this kind of thing yet, because even if there is, there is no place to use it." ”
Qian Tiexin said: "Big brother is reasonable, father, currency is a useless thing for us, we don't need this thing." "I agree with the eldest brother and the second brother. Sun Tiejian also agreed.
Han Wenzheng said: "What you say is very reasonable, but the reason why I propose the implementation of money is not because the currency itself is useful or valuable, but because the implementation of money itself is a representative of private ownership, and the implementation of the monetary system is the most basic feature of the perfection of private ownership. This is a new system, not its own value and use. ”
Zhao Tieyun said: "I understand what my father meant, it is true, with money, private ownership will have a market, without the emergence of money, it means that private ownership is not complete, for a new system, this is inappropriate, so, I agree with my father's opinion, the implementation of monetization management." In fact, several people understand that money is indeed a useless thing at this stage, but it is a representative of the establishment of private ownership, so it is inevitable that money will appear on the stage of history.
Qian Tiexin asked, "Father, how will the value of the currency be determined?" "My preliminary opinion is to use grain as a reference for the value of the currency. There are four types of money, all of which are metal coins, namely copper, silver, and gold coins, as well as jade coins. Among them, the value of a copper coin is equivalent to the value of a pound of grain, a silver coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, a gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and a jade coin can be exchanged for ten gold coins, this is only a preliminary plan, and it is only a plan for the use of our Yanhuang clan, as for foreign trade, I believe that there is not much market for jade coins. ”
This currency value is also more reasonable, in ancient China, most of the currency value is also based on grain as the positioning price, before the establishment of the precious metal as the standard of the economic system, this currency value has also been used for a long time, at this stage, there is no need to establish the precious metal standard, it is still feasible to price the grain, Han Wenzheng seems to be more thoughtful.
Zhao Tieyun said: "Father, since private ownership has been introduced, then we can openly ask for salary, may I ask, how much should our salary be appropriate?" "One yuan jade coin a month, this one is a lot, if it is too little, we will add it later." Han Wenzheng said with a smile. "It's a lot, and it's enough. However, father, since private ownership has been established, how should the means of production be distributed? Also, how should we pay taxes?" Qian Tiexin asked, this is a key question, the emergence of private ownership, tax will also appear correspondingly.
Han Wenzheng said with a smile: "There is no need to consider these for the time being, let's adopt public ownership, and there is no need for everyone to divide the means of production for the time being." As for taxes, I'd like to solve it in another way. "What way?" the crowd asked.
Han Wenzheng said: "Shui'er, is there a way to record the merits of several of them by credit?" "Of course, it's okay, it's not difficult to set up such a credit book, and it won't add any consumption, does the husband want to build one?" Qiushui asked.
Han Wenzheng said: "That is, in the future, the part you are responsible for, how much resources you have contributed to us, I will let your mother record it in the credit book, and in the future, you will divide the family, this merit book is the biggest basis, the big credit will be more of the means of production, and the small credit will of course be less, can you accept this method?"
Zhao Tieyun asked: "Father, what kind of separation?" "Tieyun, you don't know the way, we are still the most primitive society, and we may experience a tribal society in the future, when the time comes, each of you will be the leader of a tribe, and at that time, that is, when you divide the family, how much of the means of production you can share depends on your merits, so it is also a fairness to everyone, what do you think?"
I have to say that this is very fair, according to the size of the merit, who has an opinion? It was determined in this way, but it was still a very distant thing, if you want to think of dividing the tribes, then Yan Huang will have a population of nearly 10,000, and it will take hundreds of years to do it, so there is no hurry.
Han Wenzheng said: "The means of production, at present, you want to use it, come to me, as for the future, after we are promoted to the first level, you can initially implement private ownership, we will talk about the specific situation at that time, my purpose of this meeting is only to say hello to you, and then establish some systems." "Yes, father, you are wise. Zhao Tieyun smiled and flattered Han Wenzheng.
Han Wenzheng said earnestly: "You, you will also be the leader of a tribe in the future, and you may also become the king of a country in the future, so you still have to read more books when you have free time, and if you don't understand anything, just ask me or your mother, increase some knowledge and wisdom, so that you can better govern the people under your subordinates in the future, and you can better help your father do a good job, understand?" ”
Han Wenzheng continued to teach: "You, now, for the father, you can still mention you in everything, but in the future, when you have more brothers and sisters, it is impossible for the father to mention you in everything, and you must also set an example for your younger brothers and sisters. ”
Li Tiefei asked: "Father, what do you mean by the king of a country just now, will we still establish dozens or even hundreds of countries?" "That is a matter for the future, this is still too far away, let's not think about it for the time being, our eyes are still in front of us." "Han Wenzheng didn't want to think about things that were too far away, it didn't make sense at all.
Sun Tiejian said: "Father, we don't need to build a mint for the time being, right?" "That's a matter of the future, your salary will be recorded in the account first, and there will be no shortage of you at that time, the mint is too expensive, we can't build it now, but if you want money, I will give you 10,000 catties of grain for a month, it is absolutely no problem." "Father, what do I want so much food for? Raise rats?" Sun Tiejian said with wide eyes, he couldn't eat so much by himself, and he would raise rats if he left it.
Everyone laughed, Han Wenzheng laughed for a while before stopping his laughter and said, "Okay, children, no kidding, I think, our work will have to be divided again, your current work is also a bit messy, and you can't give full play to your strengths." ”
Qian Tiexin said: "Father, I think there is still room for improvement in our organs, and I am metallic, so I have a little talent in this area, so let me be in charge of this work." "Okay, what about your opinions? Let me say, scientific and technological research is worth a lot of credit, so you don't want to be blushing." "The second brother's talent in this area is beyond our ability, so let the second brother be responsible." Li Tiefei said.
Zhao Tieyun said: "Father, I am an earth attribute, and I have a talent for land, so let me be in charge of land issues." "Okay, I'll leave the work of transportation construction, exploration, urban planning, and earthquake prevention to you." Han Wenzheng also agreed.
Sun Tiejian was happy: "Father, leave the water aspect to me." "Of course, you are in charge of fishing, water quality inspections, water pipelines in the city, and the Wangfei Bridge. "Father, then I will be in charge of farming, and I will be my Minister of Agriculture. "Well, you are in charge of agriculture, forestry, herb cultivation, etc. Han Wenzheng also allowed it, it's good to have a few sons who can help, his work pressure is really a lot less, and his life is easier like this.
Han Wenzheng himself is still in charge of steelmaking, Qiushui is in charge of logistics, to put it bluntly, it is the work of the cook, this one is what she is happy with, so that the division of labor is much clearer.
After the meeting, Han Wenzheng said, "Okay, let's disperse, go back and rest early, Tieyun, you stay for a while." The other three took their leave, Zhao Tieyun stayed, and he asked, "Father, what else do you have to order?" "It's okay, it's just that the two of us talk about what is in our hearts. Han Wenzheng waved his hand and said.
Zhao Tieyun said respectfully: "Please teach my father." "Don't be so serious, Xiaoyun, I left you tonight to talk to you about what is in my heart, you know the Tao, my Yanhuang clan is most about the order of the young and the young, Qiushui became my wife, that doesn't count, and you are the first member of our base, and I am the eldest son of Han Wenzheng, you understand." ”
Zhao Tieyun nodded, indicating that he understood, in fact, although Qiushui and him were both manufactured, but after Qiushui became Han Wenzheng's wife, he was already an elder and his mother, so, strictly speaking, he Zhao Tieyun was the first person in the second generation of the Yanhuang clan, the eldest son, which was absolutely right.
Han Wenzheng became serious and said: "Tieyun, this eldest son is not so easy to do, this eldest son is not an honor, but a heavy responsibility, this responsibility is very, very big, I just don't know if you can take it up." "Father, the child does not understand, please teach the father. Zhao Tieyun's body was shocked, but he was a little confused.
Han Wenzheng said: "Tieyun, you also know that the revival of our Yanhuang clan is not a matter of one or two days, but a long time, which may take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and during this time, there must be countless calamities in front of us. "Zhilu Dao, father. ”
Han Wenzheng said: "Although there are countless calamities in front of us, we cannot and will not retreat, we will face them bravely." But, Tieyun, when at war with the enemy and need people to go to the enemy desperately, I will be the first to think of you, because you are my eldest son. When I have to send someone to the most dangerous place to help others in any natural disaster, I will be the first to think of you, because you are my eldest son. When you have a fight with other younger siblings, the first person I punish must be you, because you are my eldest son. There is no other reason, just because you are my eldest son, and now, you see, the firstborn son is not an honor, but an extremely heavy burden, and since you are my eldest son, you have to bear this heavy burden, bear the incomprehension of your brother and sister, and more, more, can you do it?"
