My life skills in Daming Liver

Su Ze looked at everyone and said:

"According to the last report sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, most of our officials currently prefer to serve in cities, and many officials are unwilling to go to the countryside."

"There are even some officials who regard their colleagues working in rural areas as subordinates and think their work is worthless."

"Under our competitive assessment system in the southeast, it is easier to achieve results in coastal cities than in inland villages. Last year's second-class Jinshi basically found a way to work in coastal cities, and some even did not hesitate to take up positions with higher grades. Low position.”

Su Ze looked at everyone and said:

"This will also be a huge hidden danger to our southeast in the future!"

Everyone became serious. With Su Ze's knowledge and ability, the problems he mentioned would eventually become big problems.

The technologies that Su Ze values ​​​​will eventually become important technologies that affect the entire Southeast.

So when Su Ze mentioned the issues between cities and rural areas, everyone stopped being optimistic about past achievements and began to listen.

Su Ze said:

"Due to cost issues, industry and commerce will naturally gather in coastal areas. This is determined by the cost of industrial and commercial circulation."

"In the long term, the gap between coastal areas and inland areas will further widen, the gap between cities and rural areas will also further widen, and urbanization will continue to increase with industry."

"But if rural issues are ignored because of the trend of urbanization, there will be big problems in the future."

Su Ze looked around and said:

"I know that many people, including me, regard rural areas as labor bases, as areas where goods are dumped, and as backward areas."

"Many officials now are not only unwilling to go to the countryside, but also believe that developing agriculture is backward and that industry must be built in any area."

Shen Shixing thought for a while and said:

"But the governor, the migration of rural people to cities is already a trend in the entire southeast, and this cannot be changed by human power."

"And what we in the Southeast say is that sovereignty lies with the people. We can have better medical care, better education, and better job opportunities in cities. It's no wonder that people in rural areas are moving to cities."

"This situation already occurred when I was in charge of Songjiang Mansion. Now this phenomenon is more common."

He Xinyin also nodded. Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are the areas with the fastest urbanization in the southeast today. Some villages in these two prefectures have been completely emptied, leaving only the elderly and children. A large number of young and middle-aged people have moved to the city to work in workshops. Even the land was abandoned.

Finance Minister Fang Wanghai said:

"In fact, this is also the reason why the gap between urban and rural areas is widening. The income of a prime-age labor force who works at home and farm all year round is far less than that of a similarly prime-age hired worker."

"Under such circumstances, it is normal to choose to go to the city."

Everyone nodded.

Southeast's control over household registration is much looser than Southeast's, because Su Ze has always opposed various household registration systems established by Ming Taizu and the identity restriction policy.

Therefore, Southeast has started to implement free household registration very early. People in rural areas only need to register in the city after arriving in the city, and then they can live in the city.

This policy naturally accelerated the development of industry and commerce and attracted more rural people to the city.

Xu Wei also said:

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the governor's worries are also those who do not think far ahead but have short-term worries. If this phenomenon is allowed now, it will also affect the development of our southeast in the future."

Everyone nodded.

During this time, everyone knows that governance is not easy.

Although the Southeast has a unique structure and has no historical baggage, today's Southeast is also facing major changes that have not been seen in thousands of years.

In other words, there is no homework to copy in the entire Southeast.

The Ming Dynasty, and even the political system before the Ming Dynasty, are no longer relevant.

The problems Southeast is encountering now are all new and have never been encountered by previous generations.

Take the urban-rural issue as an example. For thousands of years, Chinese people have relocated to their homeland. They have lived on their own land for generations. Unless they can no longer survive, they rarely leave their homeland.

But things are different now.

The development of the times and the development of industry and commerce have led more people to choose to leave the countryside where they have lived all their lives and go to live in the city.

The flow of population also creates more problems.

Su Ze understands that the gap between urban and rural areas is widening, which is an inevitable problem that all industrialized societies will encounter.

Su Ze said:

"First of all, it is rural land. Rural land can be used as the last reservoir. People who come to the city cannot sell all the land, but we cannot let large tracts of land be abandoned."

Fang Wanghai looked at Su Ze with some embarrassment, and Su Ze said:

"It is still through fiscal policy adjustment. Land sales need to increase taxes, and the leasing system must be improved at the same time."

“Idle land can be rented out, and land tax will be collected from the renter, so that people who leave their hometown will not easily sell their land.”

Fang Wanghai nodded. The land rent in the southeast is collected according to the land ownership.

In other words, the land tax will be levied on whomever the land is in.

Improving the land tenure system will make farmers who work in cities more likely to rent their land rather than sell it. When they encounter difficulties in the city, they can return to the countryside to absorb risks.

Everyone nodded.

Su Ze said: "In the end, we still need to increase rural construction. As long as the rural infrastructure is better and the transportation is more convenient, villages and towns are encouraged to set up workshops."

Everyone nodded. It is also a basic national policy to increase rural construction. However, everyone, including Su Ze, is not optimistic. This kind of flow is due to the instinctive choice of seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages, rather than one or two policies that can bring people together. retained.

When the meeting was over, Su Ze left Xu Wei behind and said:

"We still need to continue to reform the evaluation of officials, and we need to modify the evaluation standards for officials who go to remote areas. We cannot blindly use economic development as an indicator."

Xu Wei also nodded and said:

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has found several models of support for remote areas, commended and promoted several outstanding cases, and also formulated assistance plans for remote areas."

"But Governor, now there are new problems in urban development."

"In Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, the price of land close to the city has risen rapidly. The land in Suzhou Prefecture is no longer enough. Urban expansion requires land on the edge of the city. Many landowners occupy these lands and refuse to allow the government to build roads and bridges. , extorting sky-high demolition fees.”

"There is also collusion between officials responsible for planning and landowners. Landowners who get the planning in advance will purchase the land in advance, and once it is expropriated by the government, they will receive sky-high compensation."

"This matter has aroused public opinion in Su Song's Second Mansion."

This book has also reached its final stage.

The last book of Fat Bird had 2 million words. This book should be between 2.2 and 2.5 million words. There is no point in delaying it any longer.

Fat Bird also admires those five or six million books, but this book has indeed written most of what Fat Bird wanted to write.

Because of his own lack of ability, in terms of war, the development of science and technology is written very briefly.

As a historical text whose main content is tower climbing, there is almost no emotional main line.

Even Fat Bird finds it incredible that he can write so many words.

I have always believed that a good ending is more important than the beginning.

During this period until the ending, 4,000 words will be updated every day to bring a conclusion to the plot. Thank you all for your continued support.
