Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Land and House
For example, you can enjoy 90 days of paid leave during pregnancy, and you can receive childcare subsidies before your baby is three years old.
These are all methods that Jack imitated from what various countries in his previous life used to save the fertility rate.
In particular, newborns will be given the opportunity to attend school, and the first three years will be free of tuition.
As for where Jack got so much money, it's simple, he just plundered the wealth of other forces.
The essence of foreign war is to strengthen oneself and then continue to plunder in a stronger posture.
It can be said that in the eyes of women in Atlantis, having a baby is like laying golden eggs, and the country will give money as long as they give birth to a baby.
In the Middle Ages, women considered having children a natural thing to do, as children were a source of labor and a guarantee of retirement.
And all the money given by the Empire was due to the kindness of the Sea Emperor and for their benefit.
Jack's policy also successfully set off a wave of baby-birth in Neptune Island.
Many men and women even use the empire's money for the purpose of having children. They don't even know each other. They just get married right away after a simple contact and fall in love with each other.
This situation reminded Jack of the blind date in his previous life. Both parties didn't know each other well, but they got married in a hurry just because their families urged them to do so.
The final result is that married life is a mess. It's okay if they have children, but if they don't, they will basically get divorced.
In his previous life, Jack was Dandan, and he witnessed the process of China's transformation from a country with a large fertility rate to a country with negative population growth.
At that time, Jack thought this situation was not bad for an individual, at least the fewer people there were, the more "valuable" they were.
But now Jack has become a leader, an emperor, and a modern man who understands the 5,000-year history of his motherland.
He was well aware of the benefits of the demographic dividend, which is why he intervened in population development right from the founding of Atlantis.
He wanted Atlantis to have a demographic dividend, or at least maintain an explosive population growth trend before entering modern society.
But Jack was not in a hurry. Even with Jack's own intervention, it would take one or two hundred years to leap from the Middle Ages to modern society.
This was long enough for Jack to work on the Atlanteans' minds.
Newgate didn't know what was in Jack's mind, he only knew that Atlantis would be able to absorb more slaves next.
With 12 giant ships, thousands more people could be transported without interfering with Atlantis' strategic food storage.
If a giant ship follows the normal slave transportation method, it can carry at least a thousand people, but the cabin may be crowded.
"By the way, Newgate, now that the factory on Crescent Island has started operations, how do you solve the transportation problem?"
"Your Majesty, the distance between the islands is only half an hour away. According to your suggestion, we have also built a small bridge there."
"Community."
"Yes, it is a residential complex, but our manpower is limited, and we have only built one finished residential complex with only 30 houses.
According to what the craftsmen said, they inserted something that blacksmiths had invented into the cement. What was it called? What was it called? "
"alloy steel."
"Yes, it's alloy steel. I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, I'm old, and my memory is really not very good." Newgate said somewhat embarrassedly.
Jack waved his hand and asked the maid to bring a stool to Newgate.
"Sitting down and talking is fine now that you're old. You're still pretty tough at over fifty."
What Jack said is indeed correct. In the world of Game of Thrones, even in the long summer, the average age of the world's population is only between 30 and 35 years old.
As for the long night, well, the average age cannot be calculated.
Because even some proletarian knights or small nobles with poor territories could be frozen or starved to death.
When the long night comes, Essos' situation is better than Westeros. At least Essos will not have snow all year round.
But Westeros is different, especially the North.
The North has a population of about two million, and it would be good if one-third of them could survive a long night.
"They followed the idea you provided and inserted this corrosion-resistant alloy steel into the cement.
Therefore, our community can be built up to five floors, and each floor has a standard room with two bedrooms and a living room, covering 84 square meters. "
In fact, it can be built higher. The people in the Game of Thrones world have very advanced house-building skills.
The castles of the nobles and the pyramids of the slave owners all demonstrate the extraordinary skills of the craftsmen.
Especially the big pyramid occupied by Daenerys, which is two hundred meters high.
But what Jack wanted was high efficiency at low cost, so a five-story community became the best choice.
Not only is it not as complicated to build as pyramids and castles.
The land that was originally meant to accommodate six households was now home to 30 households.
The utilization rate has increased fivefold, how great is that.
Jack is a good man.
He did not even set up a common area system, and every house had a standard two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of 84 square meters.
"You can arrange for someone to spread the word later, saying that Crescent Island has built the first Happy Home Community. Currently, there are only 30 houses available, and it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
At the same time, glass factories, breweries, soap factories, fertilizer plants, ironworks, and garment factories began to recruit workers.
The average monthly salary is 6,000 copper coins, with five days on the job and two days off. Married people are given priority, as are those with children. The factory also provides additional childcare subsidies and other welfare policies.
Newgate was a little surprised when he heard this and said,
"Your Majesty, isn't this too high? The average monthly salary of 6,000 is too high. 600 a month will be enough."
An average of six hundred copper coins a month, with no rest time.
This is the current treatment for most people who cut wood, collect stones, and reclaim wasteland.
But even so, Newgate felt the treatment was too good.
In his opinion, being able to provide them with three meals a day and three hundred copper coins a month was already a blessing from Jack.
After all, the three meals a day that Jack arranged for this group of people included minced meat and big bones.
Even if there is not much meat and big bones, having meat to eat every day is the greatest ideal of every slave.
Jack didn't know what Newgate was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely sigh: You have some kindness, but not much.
In fact, in Newgate's view, having free meals, three meals a day, and being given ten copper coins every day was a life that slaves would not even dare to dream of.
But in Jack's opinion, it is far from enough. If the salary is not high, how to stimulate consumption? How to sell houses?
One difference between Atlantis and other forces is that in terms of land system, the land belongs to the empire and the people have the right to use it.
Naturally, the land used for residential purposes only has an eighty-year usage period and can be transferred to other people.
After the expiration, Empire will not take back the property, but renew it free of charge.
However, the procedures for the land use certificate and real estate certificate will not be changed, that is, there will be no re-registration and renewal at this time.
In this case, getting Atlantis citizens to buy houses requires a two-pronged approach.
"Newgate, add to the law that no citizen of Atlantis may build his own house.
All housing is built in communities by the state, and private land transactions are strictly prohibited. All land transactions must be registered with the government.
Finally, if you want to work in the factory on Crescent Island, you must buy a house.
The original price of the house was 500 gold royals, but I'm only selling it for 50 gold royals now, as a starting discount for them."
Newgate asked hesitantly:
"Well, Your Majesty, even if it's 50 gold royals, I'm afraid they can't afford it."
Most people now live in temporary residences, and Newgate had previously asked Jack why he didn't build a house first.
At that time, Jack's reply to him was to wait a little longer and he would make his own arrangements.
