The Wind Rises and the Pure Yang Chapter 149 People's Livelihood
Shangguan Yunlong felt quite complacent about Li Wendao's praise, and he would be more modest about other things, but he really wouldn't hide the praise of this matter, because he was just very happy.
No one is different from his efforts to be recognized, although this wasteland is not planned by him, but after all, this is something from Fujian that is recognized and praised.
This situation is no different from praising himself, let alone praising people or Li asked, this kind of recognition is much more important to him than other people's identification. Then Shangguan Yunlong asked Li again and said.
Li Gongzi didn't know that in fact, the development of Fujian in the past 20 years has not focused all of its attention on national strength, and a large part of it has focused on people's livelihood.
After all, the people are the foundation of a country, and if you don't treat the people well, then it will definitely be a bad thing in the end. And this people's livelihood is not only for ordinary people, it can be said that it will basically consider all the collectives in the country.
Although it is still said that the powerful are still in power and control most of the country's wealth, it is not the kind of blind taking without knowing how to pay, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Fujian State, the tone was set that the whole country was used for the people.
In fact, everything has been put first by the people, and although the land is still owned by the powerful, it can also be cultivated by the people.
This is different from the cultivation of other countries, if the land owned by the powerful in other countries is given to the people to cultivate, then in the end almost all the food will be pocketed by the powerful, and what is left for those people is nothing more than a small wage.
If this is not the case in Fujian, the people only need to take out half of the year's harvest and hand it over to the powerful as the lease cost of the land, and then take out half of the harvest to the state as a tax.
This interest rate is already very low compared to other countries, but this will not reduce the country's tax revenue every year, but will increase it year by year.
Because the people can have eighty percent of their income every year, they can not only meet the needs of food and clothing, but also have surplus grain after selling some every year, and the people's lives will become better and better.
And because it is eighty percent of the income, these people will naturally not be lazy when they have the vast majority of interests, but will take care of them more and more, so the annual output will be more and more.
In addition, the land of Fujian is fertile and there is a lot of fertile land, which makes it possible for the fields of Fujian to produce more grain than other countries under the same circumstances. , plus the people of Fujian are more motivated, so this output will naturally add some.
So although it seems that the proportion of tax revenue from the elite and the state is not large, it is not much less than that of other countries.
In addition, the people's income is not known to be many times that of other countries, so that the people's annual consumption of commerce will also increase, so that the annual tax on the commercial side of Fujian will eventually increase.
Thus making up for the lack of grain taxes on the people's side, and even exceeding a lot, under the long-term dissipation, Fujian is naturally becoming stronger and stronger, and the people are getting richer and richer.
There are many similar things in Fujian, when all the focus is on the people, the people are rich, and the country will naturally develop rapidly, which is why the life of the people in Fujian is better than that of many other countries in just 20 years. ”
Shangguan Yunlong said this very proudly, and in fact, this matter is also worthy of his pride, after all, although Fujian is a small country, but because of various policies, the national strength is no worse than those big countries. With this achievement alone, it is worthy of the pride of Shangguan Yunlong and the people of Fujian.
After all, in this troubled era, not to mention the people's livelihood is rich and strong, it is a kind of happiness to live in some places, even if it has been 20 years since the catastrophe, but the war has not stopped at all in the past 20 years.
The countries of the continent conquered their own conquests, and no one felt that their land area was sufficient. There is only Fujian here, because of the protection of pure yang, and finally it can develop steadily.
Over the years, I don't know how much they have thought about the Min Kingdom, but none of them dare to really do it, because they know that with their strength, they can't resist the anger of an earth immortal.
There is really no difficulty for an earth immortal to bless a country, and it can even be said that it is normal to bless a country. In fact, why do you need to be immortal powerhouse, for a secular country, as long as there is an existence in the realm of two spirits, they can ignore many secular countries.
And at that time, there will generally not be any country to provoke them, because no one can guarantee that if you start a war today, your head will not be there tomorrow.
For the powerhouses of the Five Spirit Realm, although I may not be able to defeat your thousands of troops, it doesn't mean that I can't sneak into your base camp and take your head in your sleep.
After all, the difference in rank between the five spirit realms is really a world of difference, and strength can really affect a lot of things. And now the Min Kingdom is not only blessed by the earth immortals, but also has a strong man of its own.
That is Shangguan Yunlong, a high-level existence of the Three Spirits, and his combat power is already destined to be the apex of the mundane, and even has surpassed some of the Five Rank Immortal Sects.
Because of his existence, and then thinking of the policies and people's livelihood of Fujian, Li Wendao found that even without his own help, Fujian seems to have the potential to unify the countries of the mainland.
It's just that what can be done is only to unify the countries of the continent, if you want to rebuild an immortal dynasty that is ancient and shining, but you don't have that qualification, or you don't have that strength.
Judging from the current strength of the Immortal Gate, if there is not a saint, I am afraid it will be difficult to establish an Immortal Dynasty. Because if you want to obey the immortal gate, you must at least have a stronger strength than them, if you don't have the strength, then it is naturally in vain to say anything.
However, if you just want to protect the people, then there is no problem, after all, although the immortal sect is powerful, not all immortal sects are interested in the mundane.
Especially those powerful immortal sects, it seems that they are even more disdainful of mundane forces. But this is also normal, after all, this mundane can really bring them too little. At that point, they need to consider the improvement of their strength and the perception of the Heavenly Dao. There really isn't much else to do but that.
And the one who can think about the mundane is nothing more than the five-grade immortal gate, and as long as the current Fujian country develops a little, it seems that it can not be afraid of any five-grade immortal gate. Thinking of this, Li Wenwen found that it seemed that it was not too difficult to help the Fujian State establish a prosperous world.
Although it is said that this prosperous era is based on the situation that high-level immortal sects do not pay attention to the mundane, but no matter how much it is said, it is much stronger than the current mundane. Then Li asked and said to Shangguan Yunlong.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a policy in Fujian, so that the people can indeed develop steadily, I have to say that the vision of Fujian is really long-term enough. ”
Li asked this and sighed from the bottom of his heart, although it was said that what Fujian could think of, other countries could also think of, but no one would do it.
Because even if the final benefits are about the same, they are still unwilling to let the people get more. In their eyes, the commoners did not deserve everything, and even the meager wages were only rewarded according to their mood.
What they want to do is to exploit everything in the hands of civilians. They may be as expensive as Fujian at first, but when they see that their benefits are not as good as those of the common people, they will be unwilling, and then they will want to exploit them.
Only when everything in the hands of these commoners is stronger, these magnates will be satisfied, and only when they have the majority of everything, will they be happy. Even if the income doesn't require them to give anything, even if they do so, they can get more in the end.
But they still don't want to do that, because as long as they don't get as much as the commoners, they will feel unwilling. This is the wayward greed, this is the decay of this group of people in power.
And the people of Fujian can actually serve this point, but it really surprised Li Wendao, which only requires a long-term vision, but also needs to be able to overcome the greed of human nature, I have to say that this matter is really admirable.
Then, before Shangguan Yunlong could say anything, he listened to Li Wendao and continued.
"From this point of view, even if it is the last thing to let the power collective of Fujian continue to be the person in power in the end, there is no problem, since a Fujian country can be governed so well, then it must be possible to govern other countries in the end. ”
Hearing Li ask, Shangguan Yunlong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and Li asked this to directly block all the words he wanted to say in his mouth.
Originally, he wanted to say that since the capital of Fujian is so good, then it will definitely be better if Li Wendao leads it. And Lee asked, there is no need to worry about governance.
After all, there is already a complete system in Fujian, and what Li Wendao needs to do is just to ascend to that position and then point out the country. Whether it is political affairs or military affairs, there are courtiers from top to bottom of the Fujian State who can deal with this, and there is no need for Li Wendao to worry about anything.
However, it is good for Li to ask this, because the ruling group of the Fujian State is more suitable to take power, so what else can he Shangguan Yunlong say? Although it is all one thing as a reason, but whoever says it first and who says it later, there is a big difference here.
Now that Li Wendao has already said this, he naturally can't continue to say anything more. If this incident is used to make Li ask how to do it, then in the end it will not achieve any effect.
At the same time, because it has been said that this matter is more suitable for the Fujian State to do, if Shangguan Yunlong is talking about Li Wendao, then Li Wendao will naturally have more reasonable and well-founded shirks. So Shangguan Yunlong finally gave up what he wanted to say.
At the same time, in Shangguan Yunlong's heart, he was also speculating whether Li Wendao had already known what he was going to say, and then came over to block his words in advance, and then stopped mentioning the matter of making him emperor.
If that's the case, then Li Wendao's mind is really terrifying, but Shangguan Yunlong didn't dwell on this matter. After all, if that's the case with Lee Wendao, that's a good thing. Li asked, after all, he can be regarded as the master of Shangguan Yunlong, if the master is incompetent, then as a courtier, he will naturally not be too happy.
No one wants their king to be a mediocre and incompetent person, although it is said that a faint monarch can show virtuous ministers, but Shangguan Yunlong hopes that Li Wendao is a Ming monarch, because Ming Jun can finally gather a bunch of capable ministers!
What Shangguan Yunlong wants is a new Tang Dynasty, a new prosperous era, and all of these require a virtuous monarch. Only this monarch has the ability and wisdom to achieve the immortal dynasty that Shangguan Yunlong wants.
It's just that what Shangguan Yunlong didn't know was that Li really felt what he said when he asked, and he didn't think too much about it. In the reincarnation of thousands of lifetimes, Li Wendao naturally saw too many countries, and naturally saw too many kinds of national strategies.
According to the development of Fujian, as long as there are no accidents, then in the end it must be the existence of unifying the countries of the mainland.
And I have to admit that the approach of Fujian is really much better than that of other countries. Although other countries have been at war for a long time, they have not reached the point where they cannot recuperate at all.
At this time, they do not think about how to make people's livelihood develop better, but they keep thinking about how to exploit the civilians in their own country, completely forgetting that the people in this world also need to live.
It can be said that their approach is tantamount to quenching their thirst by drinking water, and in the end, even if they are not defeated by other countries in the war, they will perish because of their own domestic problems.
Sometimes, Li asked me really curious about how those people did the king of God, don't they know that the people are the fundamentals? Their approach is to completely ignore the life and death of the people, although they say that there will be no problems in the short term, but after a long time, then there will definitely be problems.
But there is something even more sad about this, which is that these people never seem to know about resistance, they seem to have become accustomed to it, as if these things were supposed to be the way to go.
Even if this matter is directly related to their life and death, even if they are crushed in the end and there is not even a bit of bone residue left, they still don't know how to resist.
To be honest, Li asked if he really doubted whether there was a need to save these people, after all, what was the point of saving a group of beings like the walking dead?
In a country, if there are foolish people everywhere who don't care even about things related to themselves, then what's the point? Li asked if he really couldn't figure out this, just like he couldn't figure out why Shangguan Yunlong wanted to return to the country in the end.
