Chapter 959 Chapter 26 The Great Song Dynasty

First, Mei Chaofeng put on makeup and stayed in Xiangyang for half a year.High-yield waterways were cultivated using superpowers.With Yuan Longping's technology and the help of plant powers, Mei Chaofeng soon had high-yield seeds.Then they hired tenants for the buyers.Generally, the population of the Southern Song Dynasty's cities were prisoners captured by the Song army.In fact, they were Han slaves in Jiangbei.There are people working there.But at least Song Chao's life was not in danger if he was caught.Maybe you can still have enough to eat.

This group of people will first be caught by the Song Army and pretend to be military exploits, and then sold to Ren Yazi so that the Song Army can earn a second sum of extra money.So this can be regarded as being caught voluntarily.Those two sums of money were used as benefits for smuggling to the smugglers.Even if you go to the south, you are still a servant.But at least there is an official record.At best, he's an illegal worker.It can also be automatically redeemed when the expiration date is reached.

In fact, the ancient Song Dynasty was a good dynasty.First of all, there was an official medical bureau for common people's medical care. The price of medicines was lower than the market price, and medicines were sometimes distributed free of charge to poor people. In addition, the state finance department of the Song Dynasty allocated nearly hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical subsidies every year.Let most civilians afford medicine.Secondly, in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court provided money for social poverty alleviation and elderly care, and required various places to set up elderly care institutions. At that time, these institutions were called Futian Yuan, Residential Care Home, Anji Yuan, etc.Therefore, if you are an old and helpless vulnerable group, you can apply for state assistance.Elderly people who are over 60 years old can apply to enter the country's relief and elderly care institutions, and are given subsidies at the standard of one liter of rice and 10 cents per person per day; if they are over 80 years old, the court will provide a certain amount of additional subsidies on the basis of the previous subsidies. Rice subsidy and firewood money; if the person is over 90 years old, the court will give him 20 more pickles money per day on the basis of the previous one, cloth clothes in summer and cotton clothes in winter.These financial subsidies are similar to current pensions and pension insurance.

When abandoned babies and orphans were found, the imperial court paid for them to be adopted into children's relief institutions. This kind of institution reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty and was almost spread all over the country. Some places were called Infant Bureaus and some places were called Salesian Villages.The state will give these orphans rice, noodles, and money every month. If a kind-hearted person adopts them, the adoptive family will also receive a regular amount of money, three buckets of rice, and three years of living expenses for the orphans.If a woman from a poor family becomes pregnant and is counted by the state, her family will be provided with living allowances to prevent them from abandoning their babies or committing infanticide because they cannot afford to raise their children.The Song Dynasty even implemented the "Prenatal Care and Midwifery Order" throughout the country, providing 3000-4000 yuan of child-rearing subsidies to poor families.Moreover, different places have different subsidy policies. Some local officials, in addition to issuing state subsidies, also provide the mother with rice money subsidies every time someone gives birth.

Finally, the Song Dynasty court promulgated the "Law for Benefiting Beggars", which officially included people who were unable to support themselves within the scope of the policy, and formulated a comprehensive rescue policy for displaced and homeless people.Every winter, grassroots governments have to visit people who are unable to maintain their lives due to old age, disease and poverty, including beggars, register them one by one, and distribute beans, rice and other necessities to each person every day until the next year. spring.This is also the main reason why the beggar gang was able to develop in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty established an institutionalized rescue system for the deceased: the "Leo Zeyuan System", which specifically required states and counties to arrange four to five acres of wasteland as cemeteries.The government provides funds or interest-free loans to help them bury their families.We often see scenes like this in TV dramas: a woman kneels down in the street to "sell her body to bury her father", and there are also scenes of corpses lying in the wilderness, but such things rarely happened in the Song Dynasty.
