Are you satisfied with your current job?
Does the current social structure make you feel happy?
……
Peter didn't rush to fill in the questionnaire. Instead, he quietly read through the contents before filling it in.
This day is the happiest time for the company's employees after so many years of busy work, except for getting off work.
It wasn't because of any social survey questionnaire, but because of filling out the social survey questionnaire, the company had to give up this half hour of vacation time for its employees.
Apart from Peter, none of the employees even glanced at the questionnaire. They quickly filled in 'satisfied' within two minutes and left their workstations like unemployed people, wandering around the office chatting.
They sat on the ground, chatting and laughing about their recent experiences, fully enjoying this rare half-hour break, as if prisoners were finally enjoying a rare moment of freedom.
……
The questionnaires were sent to the Population Statistics Bureau of the Space City for statistical analysis.
The results were then presented to the senior leadership of the new Irish Community for discussion.
"The results of the social survey questionnaire show that our per capita social happiness is very high. The bottom-level pillar population is very satisfied with the current society, and the situation of the new Irish community is very good."
During the meeting, someone questioned, "But the natural birth rate has dropped by two percent."
However, this view was quickly refuted: "Social surveys don't lie; these are the voices from the grassroots. They are satisfied with the status quo, so there must be something wrong somewhere else."
With the attention of a group of high-ranking officials focused on them, those who questioned the credibility of the survey gradually fell silent and did not continue to refute it.
The executive who refuted the doubters continued, "I contacted some companies and had them send feedback letters to their employees. Ninety-nine percent of the feedback letters believed that the new Irish Community needs to invest in building a second space city because the current living environment is too crowded and more living space is needed."
All eyes of the high-ranking officials turned to the president, who fell into thought.
"Investing in building a new space city is not the problem, but how do we deal with such a high fiscal deficit? The construction cost of a space city is too high," the president said.
The person who proposed building a space city smiled slightly, took out his personal terminal, and then input the data into the projector for playback.
“I have already come up with a plan: the construction costs can be transferred to real estate. Housing is a basic necessity. Once immigrants to the new space city purchase all the properties within the new space city, the construction costs invested by the New Ireland Community will be recovered.”
This is an economic structure in which they first issue national debt, and then use that money to invest in building space cities.
Once the space city is completed, the construction costs will be spread across the property prices. After homebuyers purchase the properties, the government can recoup the costs of building the space city and reduce its debt.
It can be described as getting something for nothing.
After some discussion, the leaders of the new Irish Community unanimously approved the plan.
"This plan is feasible."
The senior executive who had previously questioned the survey said, "How should we deal with the problem of declining natural population growth? This issue needs to be addressed."
One of the higher-ups answered with a relaxed expression.
"Since people's happiness level is still so high, the lower class should be able to accept a slight drop of one percentage point. We should readjust the policies to allocate more social resources to the rich and use artificially bred populations to offset the decline in the natural population."
Chapter 173 The Time of Reckoning Has Arrived
Lin Feng listened as the Taylor faction's reporter reported to him on the resolutions of the New Ireland Community's leadership, as well as the various reactions from other human forces besides the Taylor faction.
"Currently, everything is proceeding as planned. Major space cities are gradually tightening their immigration policies, reducing the influx of people into the Taylor system, and the media is gradually increasing its demonization of the Taylor system."
"However, the population loss in the New Ireland Community is also decreasing."
When the topic turned to the New Irish Community, the reporter expressed some concern because the plan was for the New Irish Community to maintain the status of Taylorist population immigration.
Lin Feng spoke up, "They want to build a second space city, which requires a certain population as a foundation, so it's not surprising that they will reduce population immigration."
After a moment's hesitation, the reporter said, "There's something I find strange about the leadership of the new Irish Community."
"What's strange?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
The reporter replied, "The New Irish Community leadership has been incredibly foolish in handling this matter. They actually treated the voices of the underprivileged as their true voices. As well-educated elites, I find it hard to believe that they didn't notice this."
“That’s why they have to act stupid,” Lin Feng replied matter-of-factly.
Seeing the reporter's stunned expression, Lin Feng continued.
“They are both stupider and more clear-headed than anyone else. As one of the oppressors, no one knows better than them what’s going on, including the lower classes. They didn’t expect that questionnaire to solve the problem at all.”
"Do you think that if the people at the bottom really reflect their thoughts to the higher-ups, the higher-ups of the New Ireland Community will care? The New Ireland Community is not the Taylor Group; the entire New Ireland Community, from top to bottom, is pretending to be confused."
“In surveys like this, no questions often indicate a very big problem. If the situation seems great, it means that the severity of the problem is so great that the leaders of the New Ireland Community can no longer ignore it.”
"They knew where the problem lay, but none of them were willing to give up their interests, so their solution was to build a new space city."
After listening to Lin Feng finish speaking, the reporter looked enlightened.
“With the higher-ups of the New Ireland Community doing this, we’re afraid our implementation time will be shortened considerably. You should have others make preparations in advance,” Lin Feng said.
"learn."
……
The new Irish Community has introduced a series of new policies that facilitate the reproduction of non-natural populations, further widening the gap between the rich and the poor and forcing the rich to earn more million dollars before having children.
However, this means that the new Irish community is entering a more high-pressure state, and many people at the bottom, even if they work hard, will find it difficult to make up for the shrinking of their wealth, and more people will become those who lie down and do nothing.
At this time, some people who went to the Taylor Group contacted their relatives and friends through various channels to share their happy life in the Taylor Group.
The result was obvious: the entire lower class of the New Ireland community was sour.
After the news spread, a large number of people from the lower classes began to immigrate to the Taylor family.
This made the government of the New Ireland Community uneasy.
What happens if the foundation of a building is completely destroyed? It will collapse.
Those from the lower classes, who had no hope for the future, resolutely chose to leave the New Ireland Community and join the Taylorist regime due to the oppressive policies.
Patriotism and such things are meaningless at times like this. If people can't even have children normally, who cares about how the country is doing?
Those workers who still had tens of millions in savings also chose to abandon their middle-class status and all their assets, resolutely deciding to leave.
Don't say that artificial intelligence can solve everything. If those AI-powered people with intellectual disabilities could perform complex tasks, the new Irish Community would not need so many workers at all.
The New Ireland Community can accept some workers leaving, but they cannot accept all workers choosing to leave at once.
If all those who manage nuclear reactors choose to leave, who will manage them? Should they be left to pampered, wealthy individuals? Or should they be given the responsibility of managing the high-ranking officials?
Therefore, the new Irish Community urgently passed an immigration ban.
At this time, the clone legion, which served in the military for life, came in handy and played a role in maintaining order.
On that day, a fierce conflict erupted within the New Ireland community between the clone army and the masses who wanted to immigrate.
While the senior members of the New Ireland Community were busy and overwhelmed with this matter, Lin Feng contacted them.
Adding fuel to the fire, they began to accuse, "Are you planning to unilaterally tear up the two-way immigration agreement?"
"I'm sorry, but due to domestic policy considerations, we have to postpone immigration."
The president of the New Ireland Community wisely offered an explanation and apology.
The Taylor faction's power is too great. The New Ireland Community doesn't have the courage to confront the Taylor faction head-on, not to mention that Lin Feng is in the right now. As the other party to the agreement, it is perfectly legitimate for him to come and hold them accountable.
After chatting with them for a while, Lin Feng made a suggestion.
“But what you’re doing is infringing on the personal freedom of natural persons. How about we help you out? We can send some people who previously immigrated from your country to the New Ireland Community. This will solve your current labor shortage problem. As former New Ireland Community residents, they won’t have any trouble adapting. Our immigration agreement will continue.”
"This one……"
The president of the new Irish Community was clearly caught in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Lin Feng changed his tune again, saying, "If you insist on breaking the contract, that's fine too. We, the Taylor Group, hope that your New Ireland Community can compensate the Taylor Group according to the breach of contract compensation amount stipulated in the agreement."
Looking at the two-way immigration agreement, which stipulates that the breaching party must compensate for the costs of two space cities, the president of the new Irish Community wished he could slap his former self.
If the New Ireland Community were to pay this compensation, the government would be on the verge of bankruptcy.
The New Ireland Community cannot evade this debt. The Taylor faction has a very large and intimidating fist. If they dare to do this, the Taylor faction has a reason to take action against them.
The president of the New Ireland Community pondered for a long time before replying to Lin Feng.
"I cannot make this decision on my own. I hope you can give us some time."
"It's okay, I have plenty of time."
Lin Feng generously agreed to the request from the president of the new Irish Community, which lessened the other party's wariness.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that all of this was part of the Taylor Group's plan.
The population of the New Ireland Community migrated to the Taylorist space city, while the former New Ireland Community members on the Taylorist side returned to the New Ireland Community.
After working for a period of time, these people took over the various positions that were missing in the new Irish Community.
Subsequently, those who had visited the Taylor Group began to form groups and demand higher salaries from the government.
Under pressure, the government raised wages by a couple hundred, but this policy did not gain the approval of capitalists.
If workers' salaries increase by a hundred or two, what will they earn?
The workers then stopped responding, and the capitalists, seeing this, became less concerned and even had the media constantly denigrate the workers' actions of forming groups to pressure the government.
This comes three months after the group pressured the government to introduce policies.
Manager An was jolted awake from his deep sleep to find himself hanging from a street lamp. Under the lamp were many company employees, their eyes staring straight at him, making his scalp tingle.
Supervisor An struggled in terror, shouting, "What are you trying to do! This is illegal, do you know that?!"
"Of course we know you won't be the first."
One of the employees spoke up, revealing a bright smile.
He spoke in a calm tone, but what sounded like a whisper from hell to Supervisor An was actually a calm whisper.
"The time for reckoning has come, supervisor."
"Next will be the boss, and then those high and mighty figures above us. None of you will escape."
"No, don't come any closer, don't come any closer..."
Supervisor An struggled on the streetlight, but it was all in vain.
Internal strife erupted within the New Irish Community, as former New Irish Community members from the Taylor lineage formed an alliance with those who had not yet successfully immigrated and launched a surprise attack on the government's clone army.
