I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1110 The pros and cons of high welfare

At the beginning of the 20th year of Yongxing, the Chinese army entered Northern Europe.

In the face of the weapons of the Chinese army that are hundreds of years ahead of their opponents, these places have no ability to resist at all.

Soon, Northern Europe surrendered, and Tsarist Russia followed suit.

At the same time, the reception work on the African continent is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

By June, Dahua finally completed nominal global unification.

All places have been identified by the system as belonging to the rule of Dahua.

However, some places are just a nominal affiliation for Dahua.

In fact, the underlying management power is still in the hands of local people, just like the previous imperial power did not go to the countryside.

Dahua only controlled the towns, and the villages and tribes were still under self-government.

There is nothing we can do about this. In places like Africa, there are countless languages ​​and communication is difficult. We can only rely on their original social structures.

Dahua does not expect to receive much tax revenue from these places, as long as they do not rebel and cause trouble.

The places that Dahua cares about most are the Central Plains, West Asia, and Europe.

Either it is a highly civilized place or a place rich in resources.

If you control these places, you control the planet.

Dahua has completed global unification, which is the first time in history, and the impact it has brought is huge.

Its commercial activities are unprecedentedly active.

Without tariff restrictions, business suddenly became much easier.

Without tariffs, profits skyrocketed.

Without restrictions on exports, overseas demand soared.

Almost all factories have turned on overtime mode. They just produce to their heart's content without worrying about lack of market.

Commodities from the Central Plains are shipped to all parts of the world.

Those places where goods from the Central Plains are being dumped will naturally suffer.

But it was only the original bosses, the business class, who suffered the loss.

For ordinary people, they actually use cheaper goods.

Moreover, globalization is not all bad for the original bourgeoisie.

In the past, Dahua had technical restrictions and some advanced technologies were not allowed to be leaked overseas.

They use backward technology to produce goods at extremely high costs.

But now, after global unification, there is no such technological blockade.

In addition to some core military technologies, other civilian technologies can apply for assistance from the court.

Some adaptable capitalists have already established connections and obtained support quotas.

After they acquire advanced technology, they also have certain advantages by taking advantage of local cheap labor.

In a short period of time, goods from the Central Plains were still mainstream.

However, over time, these places will sooner or later replace the Central Plains and become the largest manufacturing base.

The reason is also very simple. These places have resource advantages and cheap labor advantages.

This is not good news for workers in the Central Plains.

Some knowledgeable workers have reported this issue to the court and asked the court to protect their job opportunities.

Regarding this issue, the Dahua court also had a headache.

Protecting the interests of these workers will definitely affect economic development.

Moreover, there will be many difficulties.

Capital is all about profit. The cost of setting up factories overseas is lower, so those capitals will inevitably flow overseas.

If you want to stop it, you will offend many people.

But if the interests of workers in the Central Plains are not protected, then their centripetal force towards Dahua will decline.

In the final analysis, the people in the Central Plains region are the main body and basic base of Dahua.

"Give these people welfare and subsidize them with some money every month."

Ouyang Shiqi said.

His approach is not to interfere with the laws of a free economy and allow factories and job opportunities to flow out.

Then, they will increase the taxes in those places and use part of the money received to distribute it to the people in the Central Plains area, raising them in vain.

Doing so will not affect economic development, and at the same time allow the people in the Central Plains region to live a relaxed and high-welfare life.

The people in the Central Plains region will definitely like it.

"No, isn't that pig farming? A hundred years from now, they will be the exact replica of the Zhu family."

Li Yao firmly opposed it.

Didn't the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty rely on sucking the blood of people from all over the world to support their huge family?

Although, Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was to let his family live a happy life.

However, this system will inevitably cause some problems.

After a hundred years, those who are pampered will become worthless waste.

However, this group of trash has lived a better life than others, and they are still sucking the blood of people in other places. How can people in other places be happy?

If we really want to rebel, how can we survive with those pampered trash?

As the saying goes, a loving mother often loses her children. This is a very simple truth.

High welfare can only benefit the Chinese people in the short term, but will harm them in the long run.

This was not only true for the Zhu family, but also for the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty.

Anyway, you can receive relief even if you don’t work hard, and your life is better than that of ordinary Han people, so why bother working hard?

Ever since, they began to enjoy themselves, until they could no longer even hold a gun.

At that point, the gods will

If we can't save them, they will be overthrown.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't rely on reducing workers' wages to ensure the competitiveness of their companies."

Ouyang Shiqi asked.

This question not only stumped Li Yao, but also Wu Changqing.

It can be said that this is an unsolvable problem in the world.

If he does not provide better benefits to the people of the Central Plains, then there will be no point in conquering the world.

But if better benefits are given to the people of the Central Plains, then these people who can stretch their hands for food and mouth will inevitably fall.

He had witnessed this with his own eyes in later generations.

Countries with high welfare are all facing this problem.

And once this kind of problem occurs, it is difficult to change it.

After all, the knowledgeable people are in the minority, and the mob is the mainstream.

The mob will only reach out for better welfare, and will never consider how harmful such high welfare is to the country. Or maybe they know, but they don’t care.

As long as they can enjoy their short life, they will not blink an eye if the earth is destroyed.

"Implement the welfare system first, but don't give it so much, and don't give it so obviously. At the same time, pay attention to strengthening their ideological guidance, not allowing hedonism to prevail, and instilling the progressive thoughts of working hard, striving for the top, and becoming better than others. ..."

Wu Changqing finally made a decision.

He still couldn't treat the people of the Central Plains badly, and was willing to give them some benefits so that they could live a better life.

As for whether this kind of welfare will lead to the degradation of their group, it will take at least decades or hundreds of years before obvious negative consequences will appear.

Wu Changqing decided to think about the present first, and think about what will happen decades later.

What's more, this world is already very different from the original time and space, so it's uncertain whether such negative consequences will occur.
