Chapter 127, Long Live the Governor!
In fact, not all inner city people are rich.
With such broken productivity, how can we support so many rentier classes.
Most inner city people still have to rely on their own work to support themselves and their extended family.They just have a relatively better family background, better education, and better and more opportunities.
They are industrial workers, employees of factories and enterprises, clerks of the chamber of commerce, and affairs officers under the Union government... They have a stable, even decent job, but this is the source of everything they have.
But in fact, under the new system designed by Gu Hang, if these people do their jobs well, their chances are still much greater than those from outside the city.More sufficient education level and richer work experience are their advantages.
But this cannot be believed by mere publicity.Gu Hang also doesn't need to use empty words to maintain stability for the time being, his army can do it in a short time.
As for the future, these inner city people will feel this through actual experience.
In fact, he already has some preliminary ideas about the entire political and economic structure of the future, and he has communicated with Ossina.
The entire people's livelihood system will be built on 45 ranks: AE stratification, each with 9 ranks.
Each level will be equipped with corresponding welfare benefits, including food rations, housing benefits, medical benefits, and determines the purchase authority of a small number of scarce commodities.
Every regular employee will receive at least E6 level treatment after entering the workplace.And below E6, it is the relief for apprentices, trainees, some assisted students, criminal workers, and the unemployed for no reason...
The specific level is determined according to the position and personal work contribution.
Although there is a certain link between the rank and the position, it is not exactly the same.Early-stage and low-level employees will be promoted year by year according to their seniority and work contribution, that is, their basic salary will be improved.
After a higher rank, the promotion speed will slow down.
Those who have significant performance will be promoted by skipping grades.
The treatment of soldiers in the army does not follow this line, but it will correspond.Private soldiers and upper class soldiers have allowances similar to E-level, depending on the unit, there are specific differences. After retiring, they will try to arrange work at the corresponding level; non-commissioned officers, senior non-commissioned officers and some lower-level officers correspond to D-level; middle and high-level officers have C-level for retirement Remuneration; high-level military officers and generals are retired, depending on the situation, there are B or A grades.
Ranks and positions will also be paid on a monthly basis, but it is no longer an alliance currency.Now it is work points, and some currency reforms may be carried out in the future.Spend work points or currency to buy things in the store.
Most civilian goods, as long as they are not scarce, will be placed on the shelves normally.
Want to eat better non-staple foods, such as cakes, ice cream, meat and dairy products, in addition to regular food rations?can buy;
Want quality appliances?can buy;
Want to buy a three bungee, or even use it in a car?It may not be available in a short period of time, but when the future output increases, the demand for military supplies is met, and there is additional production capacity, it can also be purchased.In the early stage, there may be a rank limit. After the production capacity is more abundant, the limit can be lifted.
After the materials are more abundant, such as personal hobbies, reading, entertainment, art... you can buy them all.
In other words, the three mountains of housing, food and clothing, and medical care will be guaranteed as long as they enter this new system; wages can meet higher-level, more individualized, and diversified needs.
Want something better?Okay, try to get a promotion and a raise.
The only exception is education.
For this thing, Gu Hang intends to take the route of public office, free of charge, and all based on grades.
And this system will include future civil servants, industrial workers, service industry, farmers...all in it.
Of course, looking at it so far, the whole system looks beautiful and somewhat utopian, but there may be quite a lot of problems in its implementation.
Ensuring fairness, ensuring reasonable promotion, ensuring adequate supply of materials, meeting individual and diverse needs, anti-corruption, avoiding system rigidity, planning material distribution and production planning... There are many problems.
However, this collectivized and planned system has a fundamental advantage: it is easier to concentrate efforts on major tasks.
On Fury, there is one fundamental difference from the modern world: the problem of overproduction did not exist for a long time.
The significance of market regulation is not that great.
All excess production capacity will be eliminated by the huge pressure of imperial taxation.
The only thing Gu Hang has to do is to expand production capacity as much as possible, no matter how many things he makes, it doesn't matter if they can't be sold or used, the huge system of the empire will eat up all of these things.
And under this premise, Gu Hang's most important point is how to make this system full of incentives for people in the system.
He is not allowed to lie down, eat and wait to die, and the situation of muddling along with welfare appears on a large scale.
These ideas that should be hung as street lights are what Gu Hang has to do.
Rank promotion, salary increase, and vigorous promotion of values are all positive incentives.
Performance appraisal, competitive promotion quota, relegation penalty system...
This type of relatively encouraging means of competition is also essential.
If the people don't work hard, how can Gu Hang prosper?
Hurry up and work, the Governor will be able to change to a sports car next year.
Of course, this is a joke.What Gu Hang wants is not those low-level interests.
Expand the army, develop industries, build starships, raise one or more battle groups... His ambitions are very big.
And speaking of the current reality, once these inner city people enter his new system, due to their own advantages in education level, professional skills, and previous professional experience, they will naturally be able to do anything better than those in the outer city. The poor who can recognize it are even more powerful.They will easily strive for a higher starting level and a faster upgrade speed.
As long as they support the governor, they will feel the benefits.
It is not difficult to restore the standard of living in the past. With the improvement of productivity, it is even inevitable.And better class mobility will allow them to have opportunities that were never possible in the past.
Good days are yet to come!
...
Gu Hang's divergent thoughts converged with the death of the last batch of executed persons.
Next, there is another big event: the award ceremony and military parade.
These two things are put together.
In fact, there are only about [-] people standing in the huge square, and the open space is reserved for the upcoming military parade.
Accompanied by bugles and majestic music, each unit will set off from the preparation site outside, walk through the main road outside the Parliament Square, and follow the path made by the crowd to come to the rostrum.
The chief of the army will come to power, accept the medal, accept the rank, and more importantly, represent the entire army, accept the designation and flag.
The military music has already sounded, and the four military bands in the four directions of the square have made a lot of sound waves, and the speakers are arranged in different directions, which further amplifies the music.
Immediately afterwards, a square team came slowly.
4 'Walker V' infantry vehicles, leading the charge.Behind them are the tanks that have not yet been painted and captured from the former Union Legion, and then a team of Iron Bull trucks, accompanied by Ranger motorcycles.Some of these trucks are fully loaded with soldiers as troop carriers, and there are also tractor trucks that tow huge 155 howitzers.
This is the 3rd Battalion of the former Governor's Infantry Regiment.In the front officer's vehicle, sat Perbov of the 2nd Battalion and the chief officer of the 3rd Battalion.
In fact, it stands to reason that the 2nd Battalion should be the first to receive the review, and Perbov, as the chief officer of the 2nd Battalion, was indeed the first.It's a pity that he is a bit lonely. The main force of his army is still recruiting troops in Weixing City, so he can only rub against the phalanx of the 3rd Battalion.
The entire phalanx was under the rostrum, whether it was soldiers in vehicles or on foot, they all shouted slogans!
First, the officer in front shouted "For the Emperor!", and all the soldiers behind him shouted together.
It was followed by another sentence, "For the Governor!"
Gu Hang stood at the front of the viewing platform, watching his army pass by, with a blank expression on his face, he just nodded slightly.
Following the guidance, the soldiers entered the open space reserved for them in the square and stood there.Perbov took the stage with the chief officer of the 3rd Battalion.
Gu Hang personally put on the epaulettes symbolizing the rank of major for them; immediately after, he put on medals for them.
Gu Hang personally designed two styles of medals.
At this moment, what they wear are all 'revival medals'.
The shape of this medal is roughly circular, and it is an upward movement of holding a hammer tightly, surrounded by ears of wheat.
The Revival Medal, Gu Hang intends to issue it as a basic medal.It is mainly issued to soldiers and officers who have participated in a series of battles in Fuxing City and performed outstandingly.
Half of the recipients were heroically killed or wounded.Needless to mention the former, the latter will basically retire after winning the medal.
These medals are not recognized within the entire empire, not like military ranks.The military rank of the planetary defense force will be recognized by the imperial military—although the gold content is hugely different.
But Gu Hang still needs to establish this system.
Soldiers who fight for themselves deserve honor.
Moreover, apart from honors, medals also have real benefits. The 'Rejuvenation Medal' itself is equivalent to an E5-level allowance, although it may not be seen as much, but it is an extra on the basis of the original soldier's allowance.Moreover, this allowance will continue until retirement.Even if there is disability or death, the pension will be more.
In fact, awarding medals to those disabled retired and dead soldiers is also to give an extra pension to the soldiers who died in battle and send them to their relatives.
As for those without relatives, the Military Political Department will arrange for an orphan—there are too many in the wasteland—to inherit these, but only if the orphan needs to inherit the hero's surname.
They will be brought up by special institutions for war orphans and receive the necessary education.
After Gu Hang put the military ranks and medals on the two battalion commanders, the awarding ceremony for them was over, and the phalanx of the 4th Battalion had already come behind.
The two battalion commanders and the few soldiers they brought to the rostrum each received a large box and many rolled-up flags from the governor's entourage, and hurried off the stage to hand over to the 4th Battalion behind. brother to give up the position.
Inside the box are multiple revival medals, which the battalion commander will put on the soldiers of his own battalion after they go down; the rolled up flags are the battalion headquarters red flag and the company red flag, and the team's number will be clearly written on it.
After these numbered flags were distributed, they were immediately raised by the flag bearers.
Soon, when the next batch of chief officials came to the stage to confer titles and honors, red flags were flying in the first phalanx.
Among them, there are two special numbers - the 1st waste hole company and the 4th 'Caudy' company.
These two flags belonged to Perbov's 1st Synthetic Battalion, 1st Synthetic Brigade.Although he didn't bring anyone over, someone from the friendly army came out to help the flag bearer and raised the flag.
The former is to commend Gu Hang for its outstanding performance in many battles of the first company established by the natives of the Fury Star; That company, this company was incorporated into the 1st Synthetic Battalion and became the fourth company.
This is the whole process of conferring honors.
To be honest, the military music level of the loop accompaniment is quite average; the phalanx formed by soldiers and vehicles is not particularly neat when walking.
From Gu Hang's point of view, especially when compared to the military parade that he watched on TV before traveling, it is almost meaningless.
But there is a completely different point in it: this is really, it belongs to his army.
With his order, the guns in these phalanxes will fire on any enemy for him; the soldiers in the phalanx will die for him.
Looking at them on the high platform, Gu Hang felt boundless pride in his heart.
The people in the inner city who watched the ceremony together were completely silent.
In fact, many of the soldiers who walked over in the form of a phalanx were familiar to them.Many of them are indeed soldiers of the original Union Legion. A considerable part of them was absorbed into the 1st Synthetic Brigade; the rest will be filled into the 2nd Infantry Division as a skeleton.
However, the people in the inner city felt that these familiar soldiers looked strange at the moment.
There has never been any military parade in Fuxing City, and they usually only see these soldiers when they are on duty or on missions.People in the inner city are generally indifferent to the army.
But looking at it now, the entire army seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
The whole spirit is different.
Under the leadership of those red caps, the soldiers puffed up their chests one by one, arrogantly.
When did the residents of the inner city see their own army and have such a mental outlook?
Oh, no, it's the governor's army now...Huh?No, we seem to be the people of the governor, and this is our army...
Kind of confusing.
The citizens watched these familiar and unfamiliar soldiers pass by in front of them, and then stood neatly on the other side of the square, with mixed emotions.
The people in the outer city are not in such a complicated mood.
Fuxing City does not have the ability to broadcast live images, so it is difficult to let everyone see the images of this ceremony.
But at least the technology to broadcast over the radio exists.
Lambert's previous sentence of death sentences for various people was also broadcast live by radio.
Compared to the tranquility of the inner city, the outer city is quite lively.As the people went about their work, they heard the executions of various great men.They don't know who everyone is, but they always hear about someone they know who they find hateful being shot.
As a result, there was a sound of jubilation on the construction site from time to time.
In the following award ceremony, the broadcast master of ceremonies will also read out the awards of each unit and their meritorious service according to the script.
This also made the poor in the outer city understand that there was such a reliable army fighting to protect Fuxing City from being destroyed by the evil cult conspiracy.
...
After all the troops had passed by, the last two to take the stage were Yan Fangxu and Thaddeus.
For the former, Gu Hang gave him the rank of colonel.
Accepting this military rank basically meant that he bid farewell to the imperial navy sequence and joined the planetary defense force sequence of Furious Owl.
The relevant formal procedures are already being completed, and Gu Hang also specially greeted Brigadier General Yelicia for his affairs.
That being the case, Gu Hang spent 10 gift points to activate Yan Fangxu.
In the system evaluation, his rarity is N, that is, ordinary level, and he is a level 2 military commander. The highest attribute point is commander, which has reached 12 points. There is only one [excellent military commander] attribute, no nothing special.
Yan Fangxu not only got the rank of colonel, but also got a "Rejuvenation Medal".
Thaddeus, who was next to him, was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, and besides that, there was also a 'Extinguishing Wind Medal'.
The medal is irregularly tapered, looking like an abstract tornado.
This is the second type of medal designed by Gu Hang, only one was awarded this time, and it was for Thaddeus.
Undoubtedly, in the entire army's medal system, the 'Extinguishing Wind Medal' is a hundred times more precious than the Revival Medal.
After completing their personal awards, the two also each received a flag.
They saluted Gu Hang, wore military ranks on their shoulders, medals on their chests, and walked down with flags in their hands.
Then, they each went to the front of the two large phalanxes and handed over the flags to the already prepared flag bearers.
The standard-bearer squad raised the red flag, and two flags were erected at the forefront of the two armies.
The flag that Thaddeus brought down was nothing special. After unfolding, it was the banner of the [Second Infantry Division].
The banner that Yan Fangxu brought down has a bit of explanation.
After unfolding, it reads: [The 1st Extinguishing Wind Brigade].
Undoubtedly, this is also an honorary designation, given to the entire brigade, in recognition of the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade, including those recruited from the original Alliance Legion, for their outstanding performance in Operation Ending Wind, including Thaddeus The company that was led as a political commissar before.
After completing the awarding ceremony, the broadcast signal was cut to the microphone in front of Gu Hang.His voice, along with the loudspeaker, resounded throughout the square, and then resounded throughout the city.
The people became quiet, and they began to listen carefully to the governor's words, hoping to find a little more credible support for their future life.
"Residents of Fuxing City, my most loyal fighters, hello. I am your governor, Gu Hang."
"Just now, my warriors who fought bravely to defend this city have been honored with the honor they deserve."
"I distributed a hundred revival medals, and every recipient is a well-deserved hero. They have made outstanding contributions to defending the revival city, and even sacrificed their lives."
"I awarded the Wind Extinguishing Medal, the highest honor, to Comrade Thaddeus."
"Many people still remember the storm ten days ago. With the help of the Phoenix Squad and the Sisters of the Holy Lily, we defeated the conspiracy of the cultists. We extinguished the storm and saved the entire city. And Comrade Thaddeus is undoubtedly the best of them. At the most critical moment, with the most fearless posture, he accomplished the most heroic feat, and he achieved the final blow to extinguish the storm."
"Extinguishing the Storm, this is the origin of the Extinguishing Wind Medal and the honorary title of the Extinguishing Wind Brigade. All the soldiers who fought bravely, and all those who maintained order and saved the city in a disaster, are called heroes."
At the beginning of his speech, Gu Hang started with the origin of the Xifeng Medal and the honorary title of Xifeng Brigade.
People in the inner city were silent, and they didn't feel deeply about it; people in the outer city recalled the figures of those soldiers.
In the grain delivery wars, they fought right under their noses against the cultists who were trying to destroy the grain trucks and starve them.
In the storm that intensified and finally stopped abruptly, they may not know what happened in several wind farms, but they clearly saw a large number of soldiers maintaining order, distributing food and supplies against the wind and rain, and arranging personnel Evacuate the city.
This army does not seem to be the same.
During the disaster, they did not smash and loot with the weapons in their hands, and did not oppress the poor. Instead, they stood with the people and withstood the wind and rain.
These were all witnessed by them, and the governor's concluding words of praise strengthened the impression in their hearts.
Gu Hang's purpose lies in this.
He wants to honor the army.
Honor keeps the army disciplined, and honor makes the people love the army.
After saying this, Gu Hang paused for a while, and continued his speech:
"Hundreds of years ago, before the era of war, Star Nuoxiao was a civilized world, the jewel in the entire Tianma star area. With the help of advanced industrial technology and the unique enrichment of spiritual energy gas fields for energy mining, Star Nuoxiao paid every time The imperial tax can be ranked among the top three in the Tianma Star District, second only to the capital of the star region Flying Wing Star and the Hive World Kologa 3; the living standard of residents can even be ranked second, only higher than the Garden World Flying Wing Star It's a little worse."
"At that time, the angry owl people lived in the city, and many people had decent jobs; food and clothing were never a concern for most people. They enjoyed the sunshine, nightlife, and various food products. There is also a well-developed cultural industry..."
"Such a rich world cannot be seen on many planets of the empire. At that time, the Owl Stars were the envy of most of the inhabitants of the empire world."
Gu Hang's words made many people look complicated.
No one has ever seen it before the war.But they have heard about it from the predecessors, and even the predecessors, through word of mouth from generation to generation; some things occasionally excavated from the ruins before the war also prove this point.
The angry owl star in the past was indeed developed and prosperous.
Then why, our descendants are living in such a miserable life?
The Governor replied:
"The hateful traitor betrayed us. The highest quality energy output on Fury Owl Star: the psionic gas field, was used as the source by the chaos traitor, and opened the psionic tunnel. This tunnel connects a world corrupted by chaos; evil law Under the shroud, even the demons in hell have been summoned."
"A tragic war broke out with the Fury Owl Star as the battlefield."
"The people of Star Fury and the soldiers of the empire defeated the traitors of Chaos with endless sacrifices, closed the psionic tunnels, and blew up the psionic gas fields... But at the same time, this battle lasted for dozens of years. Years of war turned Fury Star into ruins, turning this prosperous world with a population of nearly [-] billion into a wasteland. The collapsed ecosystem gave rise to terrible waste energy storms and mutated monsters. A large number of The land is no longer suitable for living."
"Since then, Fury Star has changed from the pearl of the star area to a waste planet, abandoned by the empire, and removed from the star area plan."
This paragraph, many people do not understand.Chaos traitors, demons, etc., I don't seem to have seen it; what enriches the psionic gas field, and what psionic tunnel is even more unclear.
But it does not prevent them from extracting the key point: our world was betrayed by traitors and destroyed by traitors of chaos.
Those ghosts are the main culprit in destroying the good life we should have.
This reminded them of the original Raging Owl Sect, which was also a fucking cult, and almost destroyed Fuxing City!
Gu Hang's words continued:
"After a hundred years of darkness, an imperial official named Huo Haibin was surprised to find that there were still tens of millions of people living here when he passed by Star Fury. He helped the people here, and through the star area government gradually He applied to the higher level, and finally got the permission to rebuild the Nu Xiaoxing, allowing the Nu Xiaoxing to return to the embrace of the empire, and he also became the first governor of the Nu Xiaoxing wasteland era."
"Governor Huo is a respectable person. He has worked hard on Fury Star for 17 years. Relying on the tax holiday of the first 15 years, he worked hard to restore the population of Fury Star, established a unified alliance, and united the entire planet. The forces of all parties have ended the frequent conflicts over limited resources on the wasteland and rebuilt their initial productivity."
"But he didn't do enough. In the 17th year when he became the governor, Fu Xiaoxing had to pay taxes to the empire for the first time, and he needed to pay standard imperial taxes. But Fu Xiaoxing has not recovered, even the lowest grade He couldn't even pay his taxes. He was executed by the Revenue Department, and the Coalition government at that time was undergoing a major reshuffle."
"Then, it was the era when Neil Fachers was the governor, and it was also the period of the second-generation governor who made countless people in the alliance fear. He absorbed the failure of Governor Huo, and with the help of the alliance government, he executed many Governor Huo. Death-rather-than-implementation policies, levies across the entire planet. Everything is trying to pay taxes to the Empire, and all production and restoration efforts have come to a standstill."
"He completed two tax collection tasks, but for this he emptied Governor Huo's accumulation over the past ten years. Countless families were torn apart, innocent people were charged as taxes; countless food that should have filled the stomachs of the people, countless necessary The industrial products were confiscated and handed over to the empire."
"Raging Owl Star ushered in a disaster, and his unsustainable behavior sparked a rebellion. He sat in this position for six years, and the alliance almost collapsed. Many people left the alliance, and many people followed the law and violated it. Many people violently resisted, and many people were exterminated... The population loss of the planet was huge, and the 17-year recovery was almost destroyed. What he did, in his third term, sent himself to the guillotine."
"Later, three consecutive generations of governors, each of whom only sat for two years, were executed when they could not pay their taxes. The remaining forces conspired to control the governor's behavior, tampered with the governor's order, and deceived the superior and the inferior. Every two Once a year, let the governor and the governor's government officials temporarily selected for two years be scapegoats."
"During the whole process, Fury Star spent another six years. These six years of division and chaos have not become better than during the period of the second-generation governor. Many people still died, and the entire planet still has not seen half of it. The hope of revival. The name of Fuxing City seems ridiculous and sad."
Gu Hang used a large speech to describe the history of Nu Xiaoxing in the past few decades.
And this period of time, people are very familiar with it.From one generation of governors to five generations of governors, a total of 29 years, many younger people grew up during this time; older people have completely experienced these years.
They knew that what Governor Gu said was not false, it was just their personal experience.
However, before that, few of them thought deeply about it. Why?
And after Gu Hang made these points clear, they would naturally think about these questions.
Is it because of the empire?
No, before the empire regained Fu Xiaoxing, during the six months of dark post-war time, Fu Xiaoxing was in a state of pills.It was a generation of governors who established the minimum order, supported the structure of the alliance through imperial aid and interstellar trade, and supported many local industries.
It is the second-generation governor and subsequent governors who have no real power who are fucked.
The brutal but lacking level of rule of the second-generation governor brought huge disasters;
The next three governors had no real power, no soldiers and no one, and they were deceived.Almost each of the three of them felt that they could pay taxes, and the news they heard was stable and good. As a result, when it was time to pay taxes, the things in the warehouse were not up to standard, and they should have been treated as taxpayers. The campsite was also empty.
Those three governors could only sit in Fuxing City as wax figures, with their eyes and ears covered, completely unaware that the alliance was so loose that it was about to disintegrate.The forces of all parties do not obey the tune or the propaganda. Under the loose and fragmented system, the power of the planet cannot be integrated at all, let alone develop.
Then, it seems that the answer is ready to come out: the problem is not all in the empire, the main problem is that there is not a governor who is powerful enough, courageous enough, and capable enough.
Of course, there are also many people who can't think of this level.The suffering they have personally experienced in the past, speaking from a larger and more macro level, is like listening to heaven.Their thinking can only passively follow the governor's narration.
But next, Gu Hang's words are meant to be heard by these people who are not smart enough, but are the most important and hardcore people:
"Until I come."
"More than two months ago, when I came to this world, what I saw was devastated."
"At that time, I used the alliance's communication to announce my arrival and my ideas to the entire planet. I said that I would rebuild the entire wasteland world, so that every Fury Star person can pass their own efforts. , to live a good life. I am not here purely to collect taxes, and I will not disregard the lives of the people just to collect taxes."
"When I found out that the officials of the alliance, not only could not help, but hindered them, I left Fuxing City."
"Now, I'm back. My statement has never changed. Those who stood in the way of rebuilding, revival, and a better life for you are dead. Since then, no one has stood in the way of us building our city together. ,our world!"
"I will establish a welfare system so that everyone who works hard can have enough food and clothing!"
"I will build a school so that every child can learn and grow in bright classrooms, instead of stealing, begging on the street, and working as child labor in black factories for a living!"
"I will build factories, produce more goods, create more jobs, and let us live a better life!"
"I will build hospitals so that everyone who is injured and sick can be cared for."
"I will create a fairer and more efficient government that maintains order and security."
"I will build a better and more honorable army to fight to defend everything we have created!"
"These are my responsibilities, my mission, the mission of the new alliance government, and the mission of every Owl Anger."
"Together, we will win!"
What Governor Gu said at the end is something that everyone can understand.
People cheered, people were excited!
"Long live the Governor!"
