Chapter 702
The Eve of the Chaos
Chapter 702 The Eve of the Chaos ([-])
The Mo family forbids slaves, so they use the name of a long-term worker, and work for ten years... This is true, and after ten years, they also learned the language of Sishang, and each person was granted a hundred acres of wasteland, a set of iron tools, and a musket. .As for whether he can live to ten years, that is unknown.
The serfs who fled from Song, Chu, Yue, and Qi were not included, because the Mohists' control and organizational power in Sishang were enough to organize them.
As for the South China Sea, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is really a lack of labor to develop. Besides, the morality of "frugal use" and "long-term work" is used, which is to turn a blind eye to it.
Now Sishang has got Huaibei and East China Sea again, there is a lack of people everywhere, the land is vast, the industry and commerce are developed, and the planting industry and commerce are profitable. At the law-making conference a while ago, the long-term industry and trade were unanimously approved by everyone and allowed to develop in Sishang.
As soon as the news came out, those who engaged in trade in the South China Sea immediately shipped back more than 4000 and made a fortune: mainly because after the development of industry and commerce in Sishang, it was easy to ship goods in southern trade, but they had nothing to bring back when they came back.
Sugar, deerskin and the like are not bad. In addition to the rice that must be carried in order to reduce taxes, "long-term workers" are also one of the profitable trade objects, which may be second only to gold, silver and copper.
The official power of the Mohists there is only a few cities along the coast and along the Pearl River estuary, and they are following the Sishang model, engaging in forced assimilation.
However, due to the shortage of cadres, it is difficult to develop the Sishang model. The development method of this variant is mainly based on private forces.
Fortunately, the Mo family has done some calculations, and there is not a big country there. Even if there is a war, the people who engage in trade over there can afford the military expenses. They may not even need to use the regular army, but use those who have retired to make a fortune." Sishang Fighter" is enough.
With the difference in weapons and organizational strength, the countries of the Central Plains have already beaten those primitive states, not to mention the retired veterans of the "Sishang fighters" with powerful cannons and formation discipline.
Ximen Shu had heard a little about the South China Sea, so he couldn't help frowning at the title of "long-term worker".
More than 4000 long-term workers were transported to Sishang, and they were sold out in less than three days, and the coal and iron mine directly came forward and bought [-].
The release of the "Decree on Wasteland Management" in the northern Jiangsu and Huaibei areas; the rise in the prices of cotton, indigo, oil, mulberry, and silk; the emergence of new technologies such as animal carding machines, hydraulic oil pressing workshops, and silkworm cocoon cooking workshops. The capital of many vassal states was brought to Sishang by merchants, and they all said: If you dare to transport 1, I will dare to buy 1.
And gave enough deposit on the spot.
Most of the land that has been distributed in Sishang is not allowed to be bought and sold; the best land in the vassal states cannot be bought in the hands of the nobles; the political system in Sishang is not a bourgeois dictatorship, but comparatively speaking, it is the most beneficial to industry and commerce compared to the other vassal states Every year, a large amount of capital goes to Sishang, and there has always been a limit to the labor force, but now the introduction of the "Long-term Workers Act" is simply the dawn of the emerging industrial and commercial class.
Sishang needs a large population directly under the central government as soldiers and workers in government-run workshops. To rob people who fled from Song, Qi, Chu, and Yue, industrial and commercial people have no choice but to settle for the second largest capital group, the Mohist family in Sishang.
Local land mergers are allowed, the number of soldiers is reduced, and the society is unstable.
Local land mergers are not allowed, labor costs increase, and capital cannot increase in value without labor.
Apart from Sishang, most land acquisitions and mergers are not allowed, including the Qin State on the historical line of later generations, which is also a private land that is granted rather than allowed to be merged.
The promulgation of the Changgong Law also created an opportunity for more capital to flow into Sishang and open up Huaibei.
When Ximen Zhi was in Yecheng, he felt that he was a superfluous person, a moth, and he was full of fanaticism.After being scolded by Ximen Leopard, he was able to see the reality clearly.
Sishang's interest analysis theory is a compulsory course in the classroom on weekdays, and it is also one of the types of exam questions that are admitted to Xiangxu, so he has naturally learned it.
For those nouveau riche who made a fortune in the South China Sea, he still somewhat looked down on the sense of superiority of "noble origin".
And there seems to be something wrong with the long-term labor law.
In fact, after he came to Sishang, his understanding of the Mohists deepened day by day, and many things changed his imagination of the Mohists in Yedi.
Those words that my father said, now I listen to them, but I have figured out a bit of taste.
He originally thought that the Mohists were a group of saints who "suffer themselves to the extreme, benefit the world, and everyone seeks holiness". The folk customs in Sishang should be quite conservative. Elsewhere, the atmosphere in Sishang is simply open to the extreme.
The economic base determines the superstructure, 20 years of development, the monopoly of excess profits, the birthplace of new technologies, the comprehensive spread of the education system and other characteristics, coupled with the most important morality of the Mohist school of "righteousness is profit", Sishang has no Possibly conservative.
For example, the "tipping" dance just performed in this theater, which was obviously called by human traffickers just now, is simply "rotten".
屣, which means a small shoe without a heel;
This kind of Zhaodi's dance, wearing non-heeled dancing shoes, stretching the body, tapping the ground with the toes, and spinning at a high speed, and under the market culture, there are... few people wearing it. Once the performance is performed, it will be overcrowded.
Tiptoe is not ballet, but a close relative of ballet.They all wear heelless dancing shoes, relying on their toes to touch the ground.
Many women from Handan specially came to Sishang to perform, and there are many of them. As for whether it is art or vulgarity, everyone has their own opinions.
Not only that, Ximen Zhu once thought that all the Mohists wore short brown straw sandals, doing righteousness in the world... But when he arrived at Sishang, he found that there were indeed many short brown straw sandals in Sishang. It's just a faction of the Mohist school: it claims that everyone in the world can't wear cotton clothes and cotton shoes, and they will never wear them first.
There are quite a lot of people in this faction, but it doesn't affect this. They listen to music and watch performances.
Except for the people of this faction, although the other Mohists are not extravagant, in terms of overall living standards, they are indeed several times higher than the farmers elsewhere.
In the morality of the Mohist school, everyone is encouraged to get rich, but there is only one condition: the rentier nobles of the feudal aristocracy are regarded as moths, but they strongly support them in business and work, and advocate "work to get rich".
When Mozi was around, he said: If it is in line with the will of heaven, the emperor of heaven will bless him and make him rich.
So being rich is distorted to become a manifestation of "executing the will of the Emperor of Heaven to make people live better".
Before the introduction of the "surplus value" theory, after overthrowing the aristocratic feudal land ownership system, while maintaining the illusory concept of "equality", under the concept of "wealth comes from labor", it is easy to distort it into this: the Emperor of Heaven must hope that people The more the better, how can it be considered in line with the will of heaven if you are not rich?
Therefore, wealth can be "by any means", but the harm is innocent. If the law does not prohibit it, it is allowed. I sold guns to the Yidi settlements in the South China Sea, I bought and sold the Yidi population, our chamber of commerce instigated civil wars in tribal city-states, and our chamber of commerce lured and forced locals to go to gold mines Working... But I have become rich, and the law is not against it, so my behavior is in line with the will of heaven, and the emperor of heaven protects me.
In the final analysis, the Mohist family is not a farming family, and does not represent the interests of the small peasant class. They are opposed to the nobility, but they are not opposed to the joint use of land: the centralized use of land is good, the only thing is who owns the ownership.
The Mohists do not represent the interests of the small handicraftsmen. The large workshops with the division of labor and the large workshops that emit heavy smoke are all in the hands of the Mohists. Interest groups have already been formed. meat?
The Mohists, who have the most workshop-based primitive factories, have to speak for their own interests whoever becomes a tycoon. Is it possible that for the sake of "factories harming the interests of the cottage industry, and low food prices harming the interests of the small peasant class", they decided not to compete with the people for profit, and bombed Kill all the mills, pass the ban on food imports to protect food prices?
Today's Mohism is no longer the Mohism of Mozi's time.
Since Shi Shi entered the Mohist school and was in charge of the Xuanyi Department, he actually represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie that did not exist at the time but had begun to sprout: at this time, it was the representative of advanced production relations and the direction Zhuxia was heading.
After Mozi's death, his theoretical level and prestige were the highest, and it was easy to revise it.
The Mohists demand equality and care more about the people, because the three words "benefit the world" are doomed to the Mohists to talk about the "benevolence and righteousness" of the Mohists. Which side, out of morality, must pay attention to the interests of the bottom.
In essence, commercial capital runs to Sishang, not because Sishang is good, but because Sishang is not so bad for big businessmen compared with other places.
At the very least, Sishang said that everyone is equal under the emperor of heaven, that only harm is innocent, that the subject of the law is man, and that the unity of power and duty is emphasized. The biggest enemy of the emerging bourgeoisie is the old aristocracy, and the old aristocracy can often take advantage of small peasants. The class opposes the emerging bourgeoisie, and Sishang is the only place that can protect them comprehensively.
The enthusiasm of the bourgeoisie for equality, the enthusiasm of the emerging petty bourgeoisie for "benefiting the world", the self-suffering Mohists who want to benefit the world like saints, the emerging industrial and commercial capital's demand for a unified market in Kyushu, a group of systematic The high-ranking Mohists who have learned the staged paradise, the farmers who have just been assigned to the land and lived like heaven compared to 20 years ago and before fleeing...this is the power of Sishang's expansion.
There are those who are enthusiastic, those who have faith, those who are fanatical, those who seek profit, those who have to serve, and those who regard work as a living... This is the Sishang of the Mo family at this time.
This time, the debate on the "restriction on the purchase of grain from other places" in the law-making conference, the industrial and commercial people have actually been able to compete with the farmers' representatives. Although it is still insufficient, it needs the help of the Mohist propaganda to force it through, but the central decision must be implemented if the voting ratio is removed. The ink practitioners are actually evenly matched.
Cheap grain hurts farmers, although Sishang does not hurt farmers, but the interests of farmers will definitely be damaged: in Song Dynasty and other places, some nobles drove out fief farmers, leaving a part of the population to operate, and a large amount of grain was sold to Sishang, a bottomless pit, and the price of food increased day by day. It's cheap, it's a ghost if the interests of farmers on Sishang are not damaged.
