Serving the People (3)
Chapter 1479:Serving the People (3)
In the crowd, almost moved, moved to Zhangtai Street.
By the time we got to Zhangtai Street, things got better.
Today, the sergeant nobles and the rich are disdainful of coming here.
The people who live here are basically the lower and middle levels of Chang'an, especially the people at the bottom.
Simply put, it is the slums.
But a hundred years ago, that was not the case.
A hundred years ago, this was the place of the Qin Emperor's palace.
The story of Zhao's return to Zhao happened here, and the immortal legend of King Qin, King Qin's immortal legend around the pillar also happened here.
Since King Qin Huiwen, the political and decision-making center of Qin Guo is here.
Unfortunately, now everything is human.
The fire buried all the glorious palaces of the Qin Empire and all the eternal and immortal deeds.
The Zhangtai Palace has become a historical symbol, a rubble buried underground.
It has also gradually become a slum.
It has become a dirty word.
For decades, this has been a paradise for rangers and babe, the nest of murderers and robbers.
Countless people are deeply persecuted and dared to speak out.
Until today, after the transformation of Chang'an City, the place gradually rejuvenated the birth machine.
Because Liu Cher hated all the systems and mechanisms related to the slums, Ting Weiwei, his official offices and family members, were relocated from Beiyu, and the huge living market in Liu City was also arranged here.
This makes this place, there are dignitaries infested, and even you can see many of the princes, sergeants and foreign relatives.
However . . .
As a slum in the past, the people living here have always been the middle and lower levels of the city, and most of them are below.
At this time, what is the life of the people at the lower levels of Chang'an City, what is the life of those extremely sleepy people?
Liu knows one or two.
Embroidered clothing and royal history have also reported some.
But it was not until he saw it with his own eyes that he understood that his efforts were far from enough, and that the people of this country were still very poor.
Through the curtains of the carriage, Liu Chen looked at the children playing along the street.
These children, all dressed in patched clothes, pierced with a total braid, snot and filthy faces.
These children are five or six years old, seven or eight years old.
If it is placed in two thousand years, each one is the baby and heart in the hands of the parents.Do all the love and protection.
But here, they live like weeds.
Almost all children have some degree of malnutrition.
Some are even skinny.
But it’s not scary, in fact, they’re in a much better situation than they used to be.
In the past, they did not say that malnutrition was not even a chance!
Before the Yuande, the mortality rate of children under the age of 12 in Guanzhong was as high as 50%!
Every two children will not live to be 12 years old!
Now, with the improvement of living standards and the economic situation and the health situation, this rate of death has been reduced by 80%.
But Liu Chen is still very dissatisfied.
What is this place?The Great City!
Han Dynasty, the capital of the empire, the center of the world.
But the people, especially the children, are still hungry, there are a large number of people living below the extreme poverty line, and their families are surrounded by all the walls and have no surplus of money.
And on the side of these people, Qi Li and Monk Guanli, Beiyuan and Weiyang Palace, are singing songs and singing and dancing.
Jumen wine smells of meat, and the road has frozen bones.
That's the reality!
If this reality can not be changed, Liu Chen heart may be better.
But the truth is – it is not.
Since Yuande, Liu Cher has considered that the plate of the middle class must be expanded in order to be stable.
It is committed to increasing people’s income and state income.
To this end, he promulgated various policies and gave various benefits.
For example, the price of food protection, for example, the project is no longer servile, but instead uses the method of levying less money.
Even more willing to lose the festival, under the guise of transforming Changan Jiu City, the renovation cost was knocked out from the merchants.
But unfortunately...
The burden on the people, especially the bottom people, has not been reduced much.
Take this transformation for example.
Originally, Liu Cher announced and formulated the policy that all Changan residents can relocate to a new home, and only need to pay 10,000 yuan per household for the cost of new homes.
If you don’t have money, you can choose to borrow money.Both to the inner history of the application, from the juvenile government loan, and the loan interest is eleven, the people can choose to participate in the transformation of Chang'an and other countries to repay.
But the problem is that the above policy, to the bottom, will always be different.
This time is no exception.
Since the resignation of Uncle Tian, the dragon has not been the leader for a long time, and later Liu Cher found Qi Guoru to serve as internal history.
But the bull Confucian is an outsider, and has no reputation, and lacks prestige.
The people below him are not convinced.
Niu Inner History is jokingly called "sitting inside the history" and "nonouming province" in Chang'an City.
This means that this internal history, except for sitting in the door, is only the ability to wait for the above and below.
Therefore, the Inner Shimen, especially the grass-roots officials of Chang'an City, immediately ushered in the spring.
Did he say ten thousand dollars for a new home?All right!This is something we can’t and can’t change.
But, you mud legs, with a new house to live, should you be filial piety, filial piety?thanks?
Not much, just give me $ 800!
If you don't give?
Give you a house, would you dare to live?
Some people even just drag, do not arrange for the people to stay.
This is obviously the reason for cutting meat, that is, to share a piece of the pie.
As for the people who are forced to sleep on the streets, they have nothing to do with them.
Playing this way, with a conscience.
Just a little bit of fish, people bite their teeth can also hold through.
But the problem is that once the mouth of desire is opened, it is difficult to close.
In just half a year, the number of various dirty things that have been derived from the transformation of Changan is not clear!
Moreover, it is obvious that interest groups are operating and mastering.
According to the embroidered clothing report, there are even two thousand stones and the participation of the Lihou family.
As for those big businessmen, Haoqiang is even more infested.
The purpose of playing this is very simple, to force the people to borrow.
No need to explain, normal people should understand that once you start borrowing high private loans, then your family will fall into bankruptcy, and even may be destroyed.
Before that, the outcome would have been worse.
Those merchants, officials, and nobles will not stop without turning the people all into private workers!
Nothing wrong!
Their purpose is to force the people to sign a strict contract with them that restricts personal freedom.
This is worse and worse than the land annexation that has occurred in the countryside in the past.
The rich in the countryside, the desire is only in the land, only to make the people become tenants.
But these guys want to make their own slaves to the people and their descendants!
However, Liu Cher strictly controls the behavior of Han people as slaves, and any behavior that wants to turn the people on the household registration into his slaves may pay a heavy price now!
So, these scum scum came back from Anton.
The evil system of labor has appeared two thousand years in advance!
