385 The crown is robbed
Of course, all this is not a deception, even if Hong Tao breaks these truths and tells them in pieces, and they are not allowed to leave if they don't understand, they will still accept it, and it will even be too late.
It's just that all this is not all about the government's profits, and it is natural to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. The hooligans all talk about it, how can the government of a country be inferior to the hooligan gangsters.
Therefore, no matter whether Hong Tao is happy or not, disaster relief work must also be done, which is called obligation, and natural obligations cannot be exempted except for cheating. What you do is called should, there is nothing to boast about, and if you don't do it well, you must be criticized.
When you reach out to ask for taxes, you sign a contract with the taxpayer, and the completion of the agreed terms is at best trustworthy, nothing more.
But Hong Tao's disaster relief method is more special, he does not directly give money and goods, but promulgates a new decree, the wolf hunting order! A wolf head or a wolf tail can go to the Liangzhou New Army camp in exchange for a certain amount of grain and charcoal.
This decree seems a bit troublesome at first, why not simply send the living materials to everyone, and it can also be praised and more able to buy people's hearts. Find a few more pens to polish and polish, and it will be a great achievement to spread out, and the prestige will be rising. Soon, the names of Hong Dashan and Hong Qingtian will spread all over the country, and then rely on this to fight for more rights.
That's right, this is the usual routine of politicians, and the reason why they are called politicians is no longer just about people's livelihood, but about rights. If you don't put these two words in the first place in anything, you don't deserve to be called a politician.
Hong Tao is not only not a politician, but also particularly hates this identity. He was willing to be a scientist, an economist, a professor, a general, or even a philosopher or a profiteer, but not a politician.
He thinks that the way politicians do it is to complicate simple things, spare 800 circles and make most people dizzy, and then profit from it. When it comes to making profits, Hong Tao has a simpler and more direct way, and that is business.
Disaster relief is actually a business, those who can play will earn, and those who can't play will lose. The existence of wolves will harm the interests of the herdsmen, and if the herdsmen are unlucky, the Liangzhou government will be unlucky, because there will be less taxes, so the wolves and the Liangzhou government are enemies.
If it's an enemy, it has to be destroyed, but if it is done by the new army or special forces, it will be very expensive, because they are paid well and are supported by the government.
As mentioned earlier, tax collection must be disaster relief, Hong Tao just changed the word about one thing that must be done slightly, and then pushed it to the people. Let them spontaneously exterminate the wolves, and then use disaster relief materials as a reward.
When the matter is clear, everyone will think that Hong Tao is full of bad water, and he will cheat whoever he catches, and he is not a good manager at all for the common people, and he is better than the traitors in history. The only difference is that the approach is very stealthy and better at camouflage.
In fact, it's not, this is called Nengchen, they can always turn things that are not good for them into win-win things. If the government only pays for disaster relief, it can be done once or twice, but the problem is that no one can control God's mood, and the government will have to go bankrupt if it suffers more disasters.
What if you don't have enough money? The government will use its crooked brains to cut corners in its relief efforts. In the long run, this kind of thinking will become habitual thinking, and then no one will do disaster relief seriously, and everyone will fool around together, as long as it is not exposed and circulated, it is still a good official.
What about the common people? Who doesn't know that taking things for nothing is considered to be an advantage, they will slowly get used to waiting for others to save them, and give up the idea of saving themselves. After a long time, it will also become lazy, and this laziness is not physical laziness, but a kind of dependence on the spiritual level.
Allowing the victims to work in exchange for a chance to survive turned out to be the opposite. The government spends one amount of money but does two things, which should be said to be earned. It is also appropriate for the victims to deal with the wolves themselves, after all, the wolves are killing their livestock, so why wait for others to solve the problem for themselves?
And then what? Some of the tax revenue saved by the government can be used in other places, such as the construction of public facilities. The victims of the disaster solved the problem with their labor, and it was not up to anyone to give alms, and they were justified and strong, and no one owed anything. If you catch up with someone with stronger ability and better luck, you may even take the opportunity to make a small fortune, so why not do it.
But there is a problem here, not all victims have the ability to save themselves, and eventually there will definitely be those who die because they can't catch wolves, or die accidentally in the process of catching wolves, so what should these people do?
"Well deserved!" This is Hong Tao's answer.
Neither the country nor the ethnic group has reached the level of equality for all. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, even if it is another thousand years, it will still not be successful. In fact, human beings also conform to Darwin's theory of natural elimination, where people with weak abilities and bad luck will be eliminated by society to prevent their bad genes from being passed down. This is a rule made by nature, as long as it is a living thing, it must be obeyed, and no one can jump out of this circle.
The best land for nothing? Loan for nothing? One year of tax exemption? Bah, where in the world is there such a good thing. Why did you suddenly become a landlord when you were a poor ghost with a pocket cleaner than your face? It's not like you're risking your life.
Well, since I was ready to sacrifice my life before I came, this is the clause in the contract, I lost my life due to poor management and bad luck, no one has to blame, let alone the government's dishonesty, I must deserve it!
Of course, Hong Tao wants to control the mortality rate within a certain percentage, and it cannot be said that there are more than 70 households, and there will be 10 households left after the winter, which will greatly discourage the enthusiasm of future pioneers, and no one's life will come in vain.
What can be used to reduce mortality? It's simpler, just use a wolf's head and a wolf's tail in exchange for the number of living supplies. In exchange, most families can carry it, if it feels too easy, then the value will be lowered, the difficulty will increase, and the mortality rate will naturally go up.
If you want to ask Hong Tao if there is so much food in his hand, there was originally it, because the post road from Lanzhou to Liangzhou City has been opened. This road is not too affected by the climate, as long as it does not catch up with too much rain and snow, the materials of Weiqiao Town can reach Liangzhou City smoothly, and it is hundreds of miles closer than the distance of Huangzhou and Mawei City.
As long as there is Jiangnan rice sent by the Wang family's sea boat, Hong Tao is second only to God in Huangzhou and Liangzhou. How much money is for nothing, it's really not as good as a bag of rice.
"Who? Who is Li Zhong? "The crown did come with a convoy, but it was a bit small. In the past, there were at least 100 box cars, but this time there are only more than 30.
It's not that he's lazy, but he's robbed halfway. If it was Hong Tao who was robbed by the Xixia people, it would be no problem, but he could only blame the combat effectiveness of the Water Tiger Wing for being too poor, and more than 500 soldiers equipped with steel plate crossbows and rockets were stunned and couldn't beat others, and they thought they were unlucky.
However, it was not the Xixia people who dared to attack the logistics supply convoy of the Huangzhou New Army, but the soldiers and horses of Xihe Road who were currently stationed in Jisang City. Their commander's name was Li Zhong, and he was a Du Yuhou.
"The last will not know...... This person took Li Xian's general order, and also said that all the soldiers and horses in the five-way expedition were under the control of Lord Li, so most of the vehicles were detained. ”
It was the first time that the crown had encountered such a situation, and he did not have the emperor's decree in his arms, and he did not dare to shake the thousands of Song Dynasty forbidden troops with hundreds of people, and the official position was not worth mentioning, and he was several levels behind others, so it seemed that he was ready to admit bad luck.
"Hey, Cheng, Li Xian doesn't look like a ** person, but his courage is greater than most of the ** people, this thing is uplifted! Wasp, the official made a mistake, the previous sentence doesn't count, but this matter has to be said to be hard. What's wrong with the colt? What's wrong with the new army? The prince Shaobao is a fart, so people will rob it! ”
Who Li Zhong is Hong Tao doesn't know, but Li Xian must know. Now that the crown has seen the official order of others, I don't think it will be fake. He didn't rush immediately, and he still held his cheeks and said cool things, as if Li Zhong was not robbing the convoy of the new army, but the old Wang's family next door.
may have forgotten the identity of the wasp, and brought up the things that the eunuch couldn't mention, which was quite popular, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to, so he could only quickly admit his mistake.
