Of course, while it is necessary to provide for the commoners, to prevent them from becoming indolent and dependent, what Jiang Chen provides can only satisfy their basic living needs. If they want more, they will have to rely on their own efforts.
In simple terms, even if you do nothing but rely on the subsidy Jiang Chen provides, you can ensure that you won't starve to death. But if you want a better life, the subsidy alone is not enough, you need to struggle and strive on your own.
Jiang Chen does not give out meat; if one wishes to eat meat, they must leave the city and hunt for themselves. There are so many fierce and demonic beasts outside, and their flesh is far more precious than spiritual rice.
After all, Jiang Chen does not wish to support a bunch of idlers. He wants everyone to work hard and struggle, to thereby improve themselves and change their destiny.
