Chapter 224 Dividing the cake is the hardest part
These are still secondary. The most important thing is the potential social instability caused by too many single groups.
A person who is carefree, has no responsibility, has no home, is carefree, has nothing to do, and is invincible. People who eat too much will feel that life is boring after a long time, and they will easily look for excitement and fun to fill the so-called emptiness and boredom.
This can easily breed unstable factors and unsettled elements.
Unless the cognitive level of the whole population is generally improved and is generally higher than that of the people in the capital-intensive world, then the single group will not be an unstable factor.
Only when the cognitive level is greatly improved, can we know what is right and what is wrong; only then can we know what can be done and what cannot be done.
Only when the level of cognition is greatly improved, can we truly distinguish right from wrong and see through the essence of things, so that we will not be biased and brainwashed by people who deliberately backtest. There will not be a large number of ignorant people who blindly follow them. Instead, they will draw a clear line with them, and even actively expose those who backtest.
But at present, an objective reality is that the cognitive level of the whole people is uneven.
Even a large number of giant babies have been captured. In addition, the internal and external environments are complex. There are external forces with backtest intentions, as well as internal ghosts and return-frozen thieves lurking in dark corners.
In this case, we will create a group of hundreds of millions of single and invincible people who are carefree, have no responsibilities, have no home, are carefree, have nothing to do, and have too much to eat.
That’s really because the current management difficulty is too low. You have to strengthen yourself and increase the hell-level difficulty. The bionic people have already come out. Technology has developed to this point. The innovation trend of advanced technological productivity is just around the corner. The situation forces you to do something.
Making action may create new problems, but inaction is the biggest and most fatal problem.
In this complicated situation, the country finally finalized a plan for this "transition period".
It can be seen that on the one hand, the country is very radical in doing things, but the premise of radicalness is to ensure stability, and stability is overriding.
Without a stable environmental foundation, nothing can be done, or the price for success will be extremely heavy.
Lu An looked at the specific amounts of the three allocations in the preliminary plan. He thought about it for a while and then looked at Ge Yu and said: "Single groups will get the lowest level of money, and married families with children will get the highest level. I very much agree with this core idea." Feeling that the gap is too large, the original intention of establishing the three-tier division is for stability, but because the distribution gap is too large, it will arouse greater dissatisfaction and resistance among singles. "
"This will undoubtedly give some backtesters hiding in the dark a basis to instigate this group of dissatisfied people to create chaos, which will make it easier for them to cause chaos. This is contrary to the original intention of maintaining stability."
Hearing this, Ge Yu thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded. He couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, dividing the cake is the most difficult, much more difficult than making a big cake."
Ge Yu turned to Lu An and asked, "Now that you have seen the disadvantages, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu An replied with a smile: "I have an immature idea."
Ge Yu immediately said: "Please tell me."
He immediately took out a small notebook and a recorder to take notes.
Lu An paused and said methodically: "The core idea of letting married families with children get the most money remains unchanged, but there are a few more twists and turns to make this matter smoother and more rounded."
"For example, these three groups receive 1,300 yuan per month, so the single group has nothing to say."
"On this basis, we increase subsidies for children. For example, the subsidy for one child is increased from 600 to 1,000, for the second child it is increased to 3,000, and for the third child Increase to 6,000 from 12 to 18 years of age."
Ge Yu thought about it and couldn't help but said, "This is wonderful, killing three birds with one stone."
Married families with children actually still get the most money, and they have further increased their willingness to have children. What about the single group?
No matter you are single, married, or have children after marriage.
You receive the same amount of money as an adult, so you can no longer use the rhetoric of "not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality". If you say that the subsidies for his children are large, in fact he still takes advantage.
Then get married and have children. You can get so much even if you have children.
It does not mean that your children will not be given subsidies. If you have children, we will still give you the same subsidies.
As a result, single people are speechless.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Ge Yu also discovered that Lu An's solution would also create a new problem.
"Comrade Lu An, your method is wonderful, but it also has problems. Simply giving subsidies to children is very strong. For non-employed and working families, if they find that they also have children but cannot receive subsidies, they will feel that they have suffered a big loss. What should we do if this group gets into trouble?"
The conflict of the single group has been resolved, but this new conflict has emerged again.
This is the difficulty of dividing the cake. Press the gourd and lift the ladle.
One thing goes up and another goes down, focusing on one thing and losing another.
Lu An smiled and said: "What Director Ge said is absolutely true, so the amount of subsidies for children cannot be too large. Then cut the amount of subsidies for children, and then add a new subsidy and welfare mechanism. In short, split several welfare mechanisms. Anyway, the final money you get when you get these benefits is the same, and to get these benefits you need to get married and have children."
This can alleviate conflicts to a relative extent and reduce the resistance to the implementation of new regulations.
No matter whether you are single or married, you will receive 1,300 yuan. Single people think it is fair. As for the subsidy for children, he has nothing to say.
Because he himself does not want to get married, and he does not want children. To put it another way, at least he will feel that he is voluntarily giving up his obligation to marry and have children, and there is nothing wrong with not receiving this money.
And he has no excuses. After all, as long as he is willing to get married and have children, he can still receive this subsidy. If he doesn't want to get married or have children and still wants to get the same money, it's unreasonable to make a fuss.
Lu An picked up the water glass and took a sip to moisten his throat, and then continued:
"On this basis, a new subsidy plan will be added, which I call the "Golden Wedding Subsidy" plan. "
"The term golden wedding is a global term. A marriage between two people who have been married for 50 years can be called a golden wedding. It also represents the supreme value and eternal commitment of marriage."
"The so-called golden wedding subsidy plan is a very generous subsidy awarded by the state to those who can protect their marriage for 50 years. In fact, it is calculated based on how much money the couple can receive, but a part of the money is called the "golden wedding subsidy".
"The average number is 100,000 per year, and 50 years will be 5 million, so the number looks large and the attraction is greater."
"Five million is a large number, but half a century later in 2067, when our country has basically completed the replacement of humanoid robots, based on the size of the economy and material abundance at that time, these 5 million are actually a very small number."< br/>
"However, for an individual at the micro level, the 50-year redemption period is too long for him, so he has to be subsidized in installments."
"According to our domestic traditional customs, the 10th anniversary is called "tin wedding", the 20th anniversary is called "porcelain wedding", the 30th anniversary is called "pearl wedding", the 40th anniversary is called "ruby wedding", and the 50th anniversary is called "golden wedding". "
“Then split the 5 million yuan into five 10-year anniversaries. For every 10-year anniversary, couples can receive a lump sum of money directly.”
1.7 million for the 0th anniversary, a total of 5 million. "
In the end, Ge Yu couldn't help but applaud again: "Wonderful, this is even more wonderful."
If Lu An's suggestion is really adopted, the marriage rate will definitely skyrocket in the future, and the divorce rate will plummet.
It can also lead to derailment, betrayal and other bad morals and declining social norms to a large extent.
The current trend is under the banner of sexual openness and freedom of marriage and love, but all kinds of mistakes are made.
You can't say it yet. If you say it, you will be labeled as a feudal old man.
The thing about Lu An's suggestion that Ge Yu said was wonderful is that I fully support your openness and your freedom of marriage and love.
But at the same time, whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have an affair or betrayal within marriage, and your partner finds out, and then he wants to get divorced, you will not be able to get a large amount of money such as the golden wedding subsidy.
Of course, if the other half doesn’t mind cuckolding at all and doesn’t want a divorce, there’s nothing to say.
You don’t mind it yourself, so what can others say? That can only be understood but respected.
But such men of God must be very few and far between.
In other words, marriage has truly become priceless, and this amount of money is a very large sum for the public.
They will also value marriage more than ever before. To say the least, they don’t value marriage but 5 million certainly does.
Then you will become more cautious when choosing a partner, otherwise you will not be happy in the future, it will be suffering if you don't get divorced, and you won't get less than 5 million if you get divorced.
Because if you get married again after divorce, you have to start from scratch.
For example, two people have been married for about seven years, and in three years they will receive a 350,000 yuan "tin-wedding" subsidy for the 10th anniversary. As a result, the so-called "seven-year itch" comes.
In the end, you have an affair, get divorced, find a new love and get married again, then you have to recalculate, which means that the previous seven years are directly void and time will not go back. Time is the biggest cost.
If you don’t get married until you are 40 years old, even if you are 90 years old in 50 years, what’s the point of getting 5 million?
Perhaps the person who just received the money did not have time to spend it and ascended to heaven first.
Even if the person is still here, he has long since become devoid of desire. No matter how much money I give you, if you can’t walk, what’s the use?
On the other hand, this welfare mechanism will drive people to get married early and cautiously, and they will also live a down-to-earth life after marriage, and will not constantly stare at other people's wives or husbands.
With fewer such immoral things, the declining social atmosphere will naturally turn into a positive one.
At this moment, Ge Yu thought of another question and couldn't help but said: "Comrade Lu An, what if someone takes money for this and has a fake marriage?"
Lu An immediately laughed and said: "There is bigamy in our country. The price of fake marriage is very high, and people will grow old eventually, and time will not wait for anyone. If you fake marriage when you are 25 years old, and you are 45 years old 20 years later, you will be completely trapped, and you will only get 1 million."
"If you are 45 years old, If you get divorced and get married immediately, you won’t be able to live until the age of 95 after earning 5 million. It’s still unclear whether you can live to 95. "Either you continue to maintain a fake marriage. This is the lowest relative cost, but you can maintain a fake marriage for 50 years. Does it matter if it is real or fake? The fake marriage has become real."
Hearing this, Ge Yu was stunned. He immediately raised his head and laughed and said, "Haha, that makes sense."
