From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 227 With the vision of ‘realizing a comprehensive extraordinary society’

Since there is no such concept as "the father dies and the son succeeds", the troll society's "property inheritance" method is in a relatively chaotic state at this time of transition from tribe to country.

And the reason why this kind of 'chaos' did not cause social unrest is just because the average life span of trolls is too long.

You must know that in the 'pre-Niesta era', even the first half of his actual power, 'private property' was still a very distant word to the trolls.

It was not until later when materials became abundant and everyone had a 'surplus' that 'private property' belonging to individuals and small groups really appeared;

And the vast majority of those who had accumulated "private property" at that stage were undoubtedly the "young men" of those days.

But because of the long span of time in their prime, most of these trolls are still in the prime of their lives even now.

In other words, except for accidents caused by war and other factors, there are actually not many cases in society where wealth needs to be transferred through inheritance.

As for the few trolls who have gone to bed after surviving the near-death period, they actually don't have much "private property" worth mentioning.

Because, when the dentition begins to have residual material, these trolls have actually entered old age;

Both the original tribes and the current republic are actually using welfare policies to support them.

Even if some of them had the hope and ability to continue working, they were later assigned jobs within their capabilities, but the orchards they took care of, etc., were the common property of the entire country.

But at the implementation level, the target must be placed on the individual. Social security, tax, military service and other materials can be transferred with the individual in the form of files.

But in the future, when more wealth appears in society, it is very likely that there will be negative effects.

For another example, those production teams that were split up due to mixing, the members who left basically left home with only their own part of the wealth, the acres of land that were developed, and the factories that were built.

, will be retained in the original production team;

In fact, what he was worried about was not whether to rebel or not;

Up to this point, most witch doctors have seen nothing wrong with this suggestion;

Even those 'factions' that do not agree in principle with the elimination of production teams do not feel that it is too much to try this in a pilot project.

In their vision, they should make use of this new generation who have not yet been immersed in the concept of "production team";

Let’s explore a larger-scale grassroots grassroots organization that targets regions rather than individuals, to replace part of the social functions of Zeng Jin’s production teams.

Therefore, this pilot proposal was recognized by most participants.

However, this is not because it ‘can’t’, but because it is still in the brewing stage.

In addition, based on the current situation, it is not only the vague policies of the ruling government, but also the relevant concepts in society that have not yet had time to form;

Everyone’s thinking has not completely moved away from the property distribution model of the tribal period.

For example, no trolls see anything wrong with the government confiscating the property of the deceased.

And this derived the corresponding concepts

It is believed that "high welfare" should be used to liberate people from basic production activities, so that they can have more time to focus on the study of advanced knowledge, and improve their ideological realm and individual strength.

The 'pilot' can be placed in the new urban area of ​​the headquarters, and the 'test subjects' can be designated as the more than a thousand new generations who have just graduated.

In addition, although Nesta felt uncomfortable with some of the contents of the proposal due to the concepts left over from her previous life;

However, its actual role in the production process is no longer as necessary as it was in the hunting era;

On the contrary, it has a tendency to become a constraint on individuals.

Among the people, there are a large number of fights and private gladiatorial incidents, all of which are inseparable from it;

And regardless of whether they are male or female, the number of individuals they have mated with is used as data worth showing off, and this has even led to the emergence of the phenomenon of "comparative mating".

The other part of the high-quality assets can be handed over to the new generation of the current period to operate, and a part of its profits can be handed over within a specified period of time to undertake social welfare functions and play a role in education, elderly care, basic welfare of the people, etc.

.

Thirdly, they also raised objections to the ‘opposition to high welfare policies’.

And now all he can do is to explain his worries and uncertainties to the witch doctors in the council in a straightforward manner.

Out of such thoughts and judgments, he temporarily suspended the ruling government's long-standing "vacancy filling" policy, and temporarily postponed the issue of graduate distribution;

Finally, after an individual dies, all the wealth he owned during his lifetime needs to enter the redistribution process and become the common assets of the society as a whole.

And in the process of rebuttal, he inadvertently expressed a novel point of view that made Nesta feel bright.

Therefore, the "fixed partner system" should be taken seriously, and the Republic should make some efforts at the education level to instill in children from an early age the concept that "fixed partners are ethical."

On the contrary, whether it is a male-male pairing, a female-female pairing, or a male-female combination, whether it is polygamy, polyandry, or polyandry, as long as it is 'fixed' and not 'chaotic'

', then it will be much better than the current situation;

Moreover, such a tolerant partner policy will not cause too much resistance.

At the same time, this grassroots organization will no longer have the "strong personal restraint" of the "production team". Internal members can move away freely to live in other areas, and automatically obtain the status of members of the new area community.

In particular, the 'warrior training method' studied by Nesta is being continuously improved in the laboratory and will be fully promoted today. How to allow the public to have more 'recharging' time should become a

A necessary pursuit in a practical sense.

In other words, from this day on, the Republic will gradually implement a "flexible partner policy" starting from the education of school-age trolls.

First of all, they expressed doubts about whether "stable grassroots connections are indeed a necessary option for social development" and believed that it would be inappropriate to regard it as a "necessity" without verification.

Secondly, no matter how long an individual's life is, the wealth accumulated by him or her will become private property that cannot be infringed by public power during his or her lifetime. As long as various taxes are paid in accordance with regulations, it should be fully protected.

He felt that this inheritance method based on the 'production team' would even be more stable than those powerful families in previous history.

As long as the ruling government continues to "make up for the labor shortage", relying on their own natural lifespan and the continuous flow of new power, it is really possible for their wealth to be passed down forever.

In terms of operations and expansion of production, relevant laws can be supplemented to stipulate and clarify the management regulations of each production collective;

The ‘personal relationship’ proposed by the proposer cannot replace the ‘production team’ as a stable basic unit connecting the people;

Therefore, not only should we not restrict "high welfare" policies out of concerns such as "may cause harm to production enthusiasm", but we should seek practical implementation plans to achieve corresponding results while maintaining productivity.

the goal of.

Moreover, just changing the word "promiscuous" to "fixed" is already a huge improvement.

Therefore, he did not veto it, but adopted a non-committal acquiescence attitude.

He also added that the 'inequality' phenomenon caused by the widening gap in individual strength of extraordinary people may be more dangerous than the 'inequality' caused by wealth. He believes that this should be formally discussed at another time, rather than

Just treat it as a branch topic of this series of meetings.

While raising concerns, the proposers of this school also gave corresponding ideas and solutions.

They believe that the Republic currently has neither real foreign enemies nor imminent threats. It is the time to let go and implement the plan without hesitation because of worries about short-term chaos.

In addition, even if actual experiments later prove that this item is indeed a "necessity", there are actually not no grassroots units that can replace the "production team";

For example, 'partnership' is a viable alternative structure.

In the tribal period, in order to obtain more mouths, this phenomenon may still have a certain existence value;

But with the founding of the Republic, the negative impact of promiscuity has reached a point that cannot be ignored.

In addition, a complete cessation of labor replenishment for the existing production team will affect the normal operation of many production units;

In today's republic, except for public units, there are no "employed workers". In many non-public "small collective production units", the "owners" are actually the "laborers" themselves;

Therefore, once there is a 'vacancy' in the joint production team, it will inevitably cause damage to production.

Therefore, these witch doctors believe that, whether it is due to property distribution or any other reason, at the level of the ruling government, ‘individuals’ should be the only policy endpoint.

Some of the high-quality assets can be auctioned to the public to expand the production capacity of other related production groups;

The proceeds from the auction can go into the scientific research and administrative budget, becoming a boost to the scientific research side and support to the administrative side.

Another example is the issue of ‘wealth accumulation and inheritance’ raised by Nesta;

For example, in a production team with bureaucracy, will there be special care for its members?

Even if it has some other undiscovered disadvantages, they should be better than the negative impacts caused by the uneven distribution of social wealth.

First, many matters nowadays, including military service and taxation, are almost all based on the 'production team'. Once the parliament makes this decision, many aspects will be plunged into chaos, at least in the short term.

.

If we want to implement any policy in the future, the social resistance we will face will be far from what it is today.

The people of troll society are not a vulnerable group. If the new policy does not suit their liking, it is not impossible for them to immediately abandon their agricultural engineering vehicles, go home and put on armor to revolt.

In addition, they believe that the phenomenon of 'promiscuity' that appears in society today because of the disapproval of 'partnership' is actually an extremely dangerous hedonistic trend that deserves vigilance.

On the farm, the agricultural engineering vehicles will therefore lack sufficient ‘magic power’, thus making the developed acres unused;

In livestock farms, animals may not receive adequate care, resulting in reduced meat, milk, and wool production;

In factories, assembly lines, textile machines and other machines will lack front-line operators, thus reducing corresponding production capacity.

If this continues, and coupled with the low resistance of the trolls to 'lust', the entire social atmosphere is at risk of slipping into the abyss of Slaanesh.

Secondly, those who oppose "high welfare policies" believe that for society, the existing "subsistence and clothing" level of welfare is enough;

If the basic welfare benefits of the people continue to be raised, production activities are likely to suffer a serious blow, causing some people to stop producing at all and become worms in society.

Its purpose is to gather the power of all the wise men and seek to formulate a property inheritance bill that meets the troll value standards while abandoning the influence of values ​​from the past life to the greatest extent.

Among them, backward production capacity needs to be eliminated;

Therefore, they believe that as time has changed and hunting has become a non-essential production activity, this kind of grassroots unit that continues only because of habit is no longer necessary as the 'only option'.

Secondly, as the level of civil society organizations declines, the loose-structured "Bao Min Yuan" built on the production team will face difficulties in operating, thus putting the people at risk of being scattered when facing the ruling government.

The balance of checks and balances between government and private forces in the Republic will likely shift downward as a result.

By that time, there may be iterations in the production line, policy plans may have matured, and the population will increase even more. The lost productivity may no longer be a concern for the Republic.

In response to these rebuttals, those who agree naturally have reasons to support the corresponding views.

But after all, I have been living here for so many years. Although my own values ​​​​and orientation have not changed, my ability to tolerate this aspect has indeed improved a lot.

At the local level, we should start from now on and gradually eliminate the model of production as a unit;

The relationship between people can be friendly, and they can even live and die together, but this relationship can be a broad 'personal relationship', rather than a fixed team model, which becomes the final end of policy implementation.

The ‘autonomous community’ proposed by it also cannot play a substitute role at this level.

For example, people may lack the motivation to accumulate wealth, which will dampen the enthusiasm at the production level, resulting in an overall economic recession.

In addition, the social security system, tax system, military service system, etc., can also try to rely on such communities to carry out statistical coordination and other aspects of work;

The discussion on this bill in the Parliament was very intense, and even in the process, questions about the 'production team' model arose.

On the other hand, it also pave the way for matters such as taxation and property redistribution that will be discussed later.

Based on this, coupled with the influence of other factors, the production team should be abolished, but at the same time it should also fill some of the social functions it currently undertakes and must continue to exist in the future.

Finally, those who oppose the "full redistribution of property after the death of an individual" believe that the accumulation and inheritance of wealth itself are not sins, but the "status inequality" derived from it is something that should be guarded against.

They believe that the disadvantages of using "production teams" as grass-roots units may not be obvious now, but they will definitely be a hidden danger in the future.

It's about whether the wealth accumulated by the trolls, and even the elves in the future, during their long lives will be passed on forever in the same production team under the policy of 'filling the gap', thus forming a kind of

Vicious accumulation of wealth.

Once this view appeared, it immediately caused an uproar

There are those who criticize it, believing that this concept subverts the basic organizational form of society and is the beginning of chaos;

After thinking carefully about it, I think that although it is radical, some of its ideas are indeed worthy of discussion;

Some witch doctors believe that such small groups rigidify the overall operation of society and form extremely strong constraints on individual freedom.

But then, the principles of ‘complete abolition of production teams’ and ‘property redistribution’ proposed by the proposers met with numerous objections.

On the one hand, this is to change the current situation where the captains of several joint production teams have full authority to decide everything;

The follow-up was indeed as he had judged. As we talked about this topic, we returned to the level of 'will the production team become a barrier to wealth?'

In its preliminary plan, a small autonomous community can be established centered on the area where this new generation will live, and its members will be composed of all residents.

Among these new generation trolls, there may be "small groups" similar to production teams that were established out of social habits. Although they should not be attacked or banned, they will no longer have any substantive social functions and will no longer enjoy

Any agreement is commonly known as 'common property' treatment.

For this reason, it was even discussed at one time to replace the trolls in production activities with the "comprehensive enslavement of horn-hoofed species".

~~~

Finally, they agreed with the view that ‘status inequality is a phenomenon that should be vigilant’;

For a time, the disposal of the 'production team' surpassed the 'property inheritance' and became the central issue of discussion.

Secondly, there are also some counterarguments to the point that ‘stopping labor replenishment will harm production’;

This group of witch doctors believes that based on the age composition of today's prime-age production teams, as long as there is no large-scale war, the phenomenon of staff gaps in various production teams will only be an isolated case;

For this kind of 'individual case', the ruling government should be able to deal with it by other means without affecting production.

For example, some troll individuals who are willing to form partners and hope to produce and live together may suffer from various inconveniences because they are in two production teams with the target;

The method proposed is.

First of all, once the operation of the pilot is stable and orderly, the labor supplement to the existing production teams will be completely terminated, allowing them to die out with the passage of time and policy interference.

They believe that when "tree embryos" achieve further success, "partnership" relationships will have greater room for promotion without the goal of procreation;

At that time, as long as it is supported by certain laws, its various combinations can not only give society a certain vitality, but may also have flexibility far beyond that of the production team, making it easier for individuals to develop freely.

But they also refuted the disagreements surrounding the issue of 'wealth accumulation and inheritance' itself;

This series of suggestions met with fierce opposition from some witch doctors, and various participants with different views refuted them one by one.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to leave loopholes in the "vacancy filling" aspect. This kind of filling-up behavior should be effectively blocked from a policy perspective.

When this new generation of trolls engages in partnership production activities, they can use ‘legal contracts’ as connections between them, and the partners will have clear property divisions;

Whether it is jointly developing a farm, building a livestock farm, or setting up a factory, the shares and the resulting benefits should have strict boundaries between individuals.

After that, he convened a plenary meeting of the Rune Council and informed many of the witch doctors present about his thoughts and concerns.

But those who left did not feel, or were unaware, that they had been unfairly treated in terms of ‘property’;

What they complain about is more about the ruling government's behavior of "breaking apart comrades-in-arms."

Later, for the convenience of management and to allow the "Chasseurs", the predecessor of the "militia", to take shape, this type of unit was formalized by the tribe's higher-ups, and it has continued to this day.

But in a few years, even if the succession policy of the ruling government is still chaotic, it can be regarded as a "convention" among the people, but it is very likely to emerge naturally, and even become a real rule from the common law.

At this moment, Nesta suddenly recalled Quinates and her three or four male friends.

‘The spring of Kunna is coming. That’s not right, it seems that it has not been affected before. It’s just that I can’t get the books.’

Today, with the passage of time and the diversification of work types, "hunting teams" have transformed into various "production teams" whose tasks are farming, animal husbandry, and industrial product production.

Therefore, we must be very cautious when dealing with the shortage of production teams, and we must not make a decision to 'stop filling up' at once.

The functional responsibilities of this community are limited to strengthening connections and collaboration among residents, giving them the ability to speak out when facing the ruling government, and becoming the grassroots organization of the Baomin Yuan;

The proponent believes that it is obviously easier to deal with individual wealth than to deal with the "small collective wealth" belonging to the production team;

If every effort is made to hinder the phenomenon of 'gathering and inheritance', even the current trolls may not have any resistance due to the influence of the remaining concepts from the tribal period.

These witch doctors believe that the folk 'team' is just a legacy of the hunting era, rather than the truth in the operation of society.

To be honest, Nesta was determined to take advantage of the present, in this era when everything was still very chaotic, to make some preparations for a rainy day.

However, due to the various 'pros and cons' involved, even he himself is not very clear about it, so how can he talk about 'preparing for a rainy day'?

That is, the Republic should strive to achieve a comprehensive and extraordinary society as a development vision.

As for this "floating wealth", what the ruling government has done over the years has been to "confiscate" it and use it for urban construction funding and other purposes.

Therefore, until new grassroots units emerge that can replace the 'production team' as the point of engagement, they cannot be completely eliminated.

But at the same time, it cannot be implemented haphazardly without preparation. Relevant policies should be explored through ‘pilots’.

Therefore, Nesta feels that if you really want to do some 'planning' for the future, now is the best opportunity that has never been seen before and will never come later.

Therefore, the old and dying trolls who have died one after another in recent years, and even those who will gradually die in the next few decades;

In fact, at most, it is just some "floating wealth" like bank deposits.

The "partner" part may be a little off topic, but the detailed data provided by several witch doctors who have really paid attention to this aspect really made the participants really care about this aspect.

On this issue, greater differences began to emerge;

For example, a suggestion emerged during the discussion that the production team should be completely abolished, and on this basis, a policy of property confiscation and redistribution after the demise of the individual should be formulated.

The prototype of a grassroots organization like the ‘production team’ is Zeng Jin’s ‘hunting team’;

The prototype of the 'hunting team' is a fixed hunting team formed spontaneously by some warriors who knew each other well in the tribal period in order to improve hunting efficiency.

And starting from the distribution of new labor, the influence of the 'production team' on society should be gradually eliminated, and the trolls should be sent to the places where they are most needed or where they are most desired.

Nesta did not prevent the topic from changing, because everything remained true to its origins, and in terms of property inheritance, the ‘production team’ did have crucial discussion value;

And I don’t have a complete plan, so instead of formulating policies rigidly, it’s better to let these smart guys fully discuss it.

And large-scale vacancies due to natural aging are something that most production teams will only have to face in tens or hundreds of years;

For another example, those new members who were assigned to join the company midway in order to make up for the vacancies in the production team did not feel that they were "taking advantage" because they occupied the share of the property belonging to those who left.

There are also those who agree and believe that we should thoroughly seek to replace this outdated grassroots unit.

He believes that "private ownership during lifetime and public ownership of inheritance" is not an obstacle to social development, and such a policy may even further promote consumption.

First of all, the witch doctors who oppose the idea of ​​"total abolition of production teams" believe that the lack of stable grassroots units in society will lead to the overall fragmentation of the country. Due to the lack of stable connections between the people, they will become indeterminate and have no

No worries;

This will not only make it easier to manage, but will also harm the morale.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that even though the Republic's current "property inheritance policy" is in a chaotic and unclear state, it has not yet had any substantial impact on society.

Moreover, the batches of graduates that will appear every year in the future can also become subsequent supplements.

In addition, the community will not produce "property binding force", and the individual properties of residents will be completely independent from the collective;

Moreover, if we do not make this effort now, during this unstable period when the influence of the tribal stage still exists;

After that, there may no longer be an opportunity to implement this policy on the premise of 'non-violence'.

Therefore, even if you may have to pay a certain price in the future, you should actively try it.

If it turns out that this is really a mistake, the trouble you will face when changing it back in the future will be much easier than doing the reverse operation.
