Chapter 164 Whether to Accept Refugees
Chapter 164 Whether to Accept Refugees
The silence was followed by more intense discussions.
Some things that have been piled up for more than a year and have not been dealt with are also moved out one by one today.
After playing for a whole day, there were still some things left unresolved. Some things were too complicated, and even Dai Huabin couldn't make a decision right away.
A star leader is so troublesome, but how troublesome is it to govern a province, and a country is so troublesome. Dai Huabin still has a lot to learn.
The meeting continued early the next morning to discuss the unfinished business yesterday.
The biggest difference is whether to suspend the admission of refugees.
In fact, there were no so-called refugees in the first place. The former people would automatically become refugees if they separated from their original lords.But in the recent period, except for those next door who envied the benefits received by the stars, those who ran over by themselves.
There are also many more real refugees. It is true that there are policies above and countermeasures below.The major empires are increasing their military expenditures substantially, so where does this part of the money come from? Naturally, it comes from taxes.
The increase in taxes by the royal family does not really make people unable to live, but the order to increase taxes is spread to the localities, and the increase will be increased layer by layer.
Maybe Xu Jiawei only allowed [-]% more, and the local officials charged [-]% more, and ate part of the [-]%, and handed over part to the big bosses above.
With the military expenses of the empire, the wallets of officials are bulging, and the people are suffering.
This is not bad. After all, the officials are appointed by the superiors. If something big is really messed up, it will be troublesome if the official position is not guaranteed.
The worst thing is the territories under the lords. As local lords, they also need to pay a part of the tax of the territory, which is called tribute.
These lords also increased taxes, and they had absolute power in the territory. Even the current prime minister could not interfere with a viscount's private domain affairs. Only the emperor and the noble council had the right to handle these matters.
In other words, lords who are like a local emperor in the territory can safely raise taxes, and the people in the territory dare not resist.
And the lords will pour all the dirty water on the royal family. After all, it was you Xu Jiawei who proposed the tax increase, right?
As a result, many lords began to raise taxes significantly, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity. After all, most of them are not hereditary nobles. After their death, their descendants will not be able to inherit the territory, so there is no need to think about fishing out of the river and killing chickens to get eggs.
At the beginning, the lords were relatively restrained, but this kind of money came too easily, too much, and they couldn't control themselves at all.In some places, the tax has been doubled directly, which makes it impossible for ordinary people to live.
There is no other way but to escape from the territory and become a refugee. Since then, the citizenship has been lost, and the lords and lords justifiably occupied the houses and lands of the people who left, and made another fortune.
This situation may be a little better in Xingluo, but it is much more serious in Dou Ling Empire. The Tianhun Empire is still relatively calm, probably because the Tianhun Empire only raised business taxes but not agriculture. Tax it.
The current situation is turbulent, and the royal families of various countries don't want to carry out any major purges. At this time, the royal families really need the support of the noble group, so they can only let it go.
Everything has to wait until the Sun Moon Empire is defeated before the domestic problems can be resolved.
A large number of refugees fled in various parts of Xingluo, and a lot of Star Leaders came here, but Dai Huabin just said that the intake of new population was suspended, because the Star Leader did not have the extra capacity to resettle these refugees.
You must know that accepting refugees is not a problem that can be solved by giving two or three meals, not to mention that even if it is two or three meals, it can't support the large number of people. The food price is rising day by day, and the landlord's family doesn't have any food left.
Then there is the problem of the plague. If the screening is not carried out in advance, the consequences will be disastrous if the plague spreads.
This kind of problem is not a problem when accepting small-scale refugees. Xingchen's medical system is sufficient to deal with it, but now it is more troublesome when encountering hundreds of refugees.
At present, there are about 8000 refugees gathered on the border of the Star Territory, and the number is still rising rapidly, increasing by one or two thousand every day.
In fact, it would be great if these people could go to Paradise Island. I was buying slaves on Paradise Island, but I sent the population here to Xingchen Leader.
But to get these people to Paradise Island, they have to go through the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, which is obviously not feasible.
The discussion now is whether to accept the increasing number of refugees. Even though there are only a few thousand refugees coming, once this group of refugees is accepted, refugees from all over the world who know the news will flock to it.
It is conservatively estimated that there are millions of refugees in the entire Star Luo Empire, and the number is still increasing.
Not to mention the influx of so many foreign populations into the Star Territory, even 50 million would cause the Star Star Territory to collapse directly.
It would be good if these hundreds of thousands of refugees migrated in batches over a period of ten or eight years, but in the current situation, it must be unbearable to swarm over within a few months.
Don’t want it, it will also destroy the positive image that the Star Leader deliberately spread before. Those refugees have heard how good the policy of the Star Leader is, but they came here after traveling through mountains and rivers, but the Star Leader did not accept them. Accept it.
Onlookers may think that this has nothing to do with the star collar, but if you are a refugee, you can feel the truth.
This is the reason why I think refugees should be accepted.
Sometimes the image of a place is as important as its own hard power.
Dai Huabin is also very aware of these things. Didn't Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he liked to watch in his previous life built the foundation of the Kingdom of Shu by relying on benevolence, justice and morality?
Some people say that he is a hypocrite, but if he can pretend for the rest of his life, it will be true whether it is true or false.
What Dai Huabin wants is the world, so he must not give up the hearts of the people, so he still has to accept these refugees. This is a decision he made after thinking about it all night.
"I thought about it all night yesterday, and I still decided to accept these refugees. Yes, I just said yesterday that we need to reduce expenses to support Paradise Island and ask you to suspend the acceptance of foreign population. But the large-scale refugees that are appearing one after another now are different from this situation. Yes. The star collar cannot give up on them."
"Of course, the expenses that should be reduced remain the same, and we have to come from other places for the extra funds spent on receiving the refugees." Dai Huabin made a final decision. Those who agreed to accept the refugees were naturally satisfied, and those who disagreed originally wanted to persuade them. But when he heard that Dai Huabin had even thought about arranging funds for the refugees, he dismissed the idea.
"Where did you come from?" someone asked.
Dai Huabin did not answer, but pressed a button under the table, and a map image appeared on the conference table.
Dai Huabin stood up, pointed to the several territories next to Xingchen collar and said: "The neighbors have made a fortune in the past few years, let's just borrow from them."
These families naturally refer to the territories next to the Star Territory.To the east of the Star Territory, there are two viscount territories bordering the Star Territory, and to the west of the Star Territory is the Mingdou Mountain Range, which borders the Sun Moon Empire.
