I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Lu Yuan had pondered over this matter for quite some time, especially with the gradual decline of the first generation, which also led him to a realization—some things must be accomplished immediately or it would be too late.

The first generation had actually contributed a lot. At that time, the total population was just over ten thousand, yet they raised more than fifty thousand children. Even though education was provided by Green Grass Paradise, didn't people have to produce food and various living supplies?

Raising the second generation until they became adults was indeed a great achievement.

However, the lifespan of the first generation was the shortest; basically reaching Level Two, they would meet their end before two hundred years of age.

The establishment of rules and regulations could restrain the strong and protect the weak; it was the cornerstone of a stable and steady development of civilization.

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "Green Mountain provides a relatively large yield every year. So, it's also time to benefit the people. How do you all view this?"

Naturally, there were those who agreed and those who opposed. Holding high positions, obtaining resources was always easier.

If more was given to the common people, wouldn't that mean less for oneself?

But wasn't the hard work of building a floating mountain peak to expand the strength of civilization? Once the will of the people scattered, how easy would it be to rebuild?

Many of the current parliamentary members were standouts from the second and third generations. From the perspective of all human beings, benefiting the people was a necessary step in societal development.

Lu Tiantian said, "As long as we do not overspend the wealth of civilization, I am not against increasing social welfare... but I think there still needs to be differentiation. Too high social welfare is not conducive to the development of civilization."

An economic expert said, "I believe that the gap between the rich and the poor should not be too wide."

"Only those who stand out uniquely and are visibly talented, receiving more resources—such individuals receiving higher treatment is something the general populace can accept."

"For the rest, I think only slight differentiation is necessary."

"There's also the issue of pricing for Material Resources and idealist resources... some are not easy to estimate."

Many people are engaged in materialistic work, requiring a large collective to create value.

This differs from idealist work; jobs in the idealist field mostly rely on individual effort, what is so-called "talent."

Once it involves a collective, it becomes difficult to assess who contributed more or less.

There are also issues like "nepotism"; corruption is something that human civilization finds hard to avoid.

"Those parasites always find it too easy to hide behind the collective..." Lu Yuan frowned, seriously contemplating, "Indeed, we need to find a way to root them out."

After a series of discussions, a new generation of social welfare security systems emerged.

A total of five tiers of talent, S, A, B, C, D, were classified, with different levels of people receiving different amounts of Extraordinary Resources each month.

During the student phase, everyone was basically trained as B-Level talent.

The resources received by B-Level talent could allow those of average ability to grow to a Level Three standard within 50 years.

However, the student phase was at most 30-35 years, basically up to doctoral graduation, so not everyone could rise to Level Three, but there would probably be about 10% of children with decent talent able to advance to Level Three.

Moreover, the current annual birth rate was only about two thousand people... this burden was considered bearable.

After entering society, one would be downgraded to C-Level talent.

The standard for C-Level was the previous training scheme, which made it difficult to progress after training people to Level Two.

But as long as one could achieve a certain level of societal accomplishment, after evaluation, one could be promoted to B-Level.

In other words, most commoners would fluctuate back and forth between B-Level and C-Level.

There was some differentiation, but it was also within the acceptable range for the populace.

And the government's expenditure could also bear it.

Another important issue that must be mentioned is... as long as one works diligently for 40 years, that is, contributes to social security for 40 years, one could reach the permanent B-Level standard.

By then, at roughly 70 years old, still at the tail end of youth, the government would find a way to provide resources for you to ascend to Level Three.

This piece of the "pie" was, after all, a matter of 40 years later.

By that time, there would be some progress and it should be possible to bear this considerable expense...

As for D-Level... cough cough, it applied to the criminal population.

They would be deprived of Extraordinary Resources.

Unfortunately, this big family was indeed very warm, but there were always some inherently antisocial individuals, and crime was not nonexistent.

Reward and punishment were the proper path to societal development.

As for S-Level and A-Level, outstanding contributions were essential.

Since it involved only a small number of people, Lu Yuan personally reviewed them, but the rewards were sizable.

For example, crafting a personalized "Field," the right to use Superior Level equipment, providing a "Soul Baby Fruit" that could increase Divine Attributes, and so on—all these were considered strategic investments made by civilization...

What Lu Yuan was actually more worried about was the differentiation between B-Level and C-Level, which involved three to four hundred thousand people. It wasn't possible to monitor everyone, and naturally, corruption and embezzlement could arise.

"Everyone dislikes having children and seems slightly fairer."

"Otherwise, as you can imagine, B-Level would all fall into the hands of those with connections..." Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Oh, right, one last crucial point!

The government's distribution of Extraordinary Resources was not allowed to be traded privately!

After all, this was a national social welfare benefit, given to you at a loss by the government.

But there would always be shortsighted individuals who would choose to sell them for a brief period of luxurious living, to simply lie flat and give up.
