Chapter 1474 The Final Farce ([-])

simply put.

According to the traditional "world" experience.

The Kyushu issue is a basic issue.

Once the Kyushu issue is resolved, the frontier areas will naturally also be resolved.

If the border areas are resolved, then the problems of traditional tributary states and new regions such as Nanyang will also be resolved.

It can be said that this is a traditional political thinking.

It is also basically correct.

Who can complete the great unification and make Kyushu's basic internal stability, then the frontiers, tributary states, and Jimi districts have never been a problem.

Now that we have won the first battle, under Li Yan's idea of ​​"new world order, new etiquette", it is just an expansion of the past tradition.

Etiquette is the rule.Put it in the world, that is, the international order.

Change a set of things, it is still the international order.Whether it is called international law or the new free trade system, it is almost a thing that changes the content of the "rules", but the logic of operation is still the same - Zhou Tianzi can directly When Hou Peng was killed, the rites and music were all there; when Zhou Tianzi was shot in the shoulder by Zheng Zhuanggong, the rites and music were just a chicken.

But in the current situation, Dashun after winning the First World War is the "China" country.And the core area of ​​the "China" country is the key to China's "China" country.

It's just that there are huge differences among these people in Dashun on "how to solve the problems in Kyushu" and "what is the main contradiction in Kyushu".

Some differences are visible to the naked eye.

There are some disagreements, because we walked hand in hand at the beginning, but as we walked, we went for a fork in the road and broke up.

Some, it seems that there is no difference, but in fact the difference has appeared in the core from the very beginning.

So, does Liu Yu support Li Yan?
Obviously, Liu Yu basically supports Li Yan's idea.

Firstly, he originally supported the direct creation of a capitalist agricultural system in the newly reclaimed areas.And, at least this is much more efficient than the spontaneous migration of small farmers.

Second, regardless of what Li Yan thinks, the final result will be through land and agriculture, which will allow some people to accumulate capital.Accompanied by the adoption of new technologies, these surplus capitals will flow spontaneously, at least partly into industries.

Thirdly, Dashun's internal transformation is painful, and it does involve a problem of insufficient land per capita.If the per capita land is sufficient, the transformation is just a pain, not death; but if the per capita land is insufficient, the transformation is not only painful, but it will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of deaths.

No matter what Li Yan's original intention is, if he can complete the large-scale population migration, then it is considered that he has fulfilled his specific mission in a specific historical stage.

Again.

In the early days of North America, there was also an economic model in which men farmed and women weaved, and even the wool textile industry in some areas developed in this way.But why was the reaction not so great after being hit?

Because I have 160 acres of land, my wife’s weaving money has been hit. The big deal is to let my wife stop rubbing the cloth and plant the land to buy cloth. Maybe the income will drop a little, but it’s not hard to live on.Sell ​​two more cars of corn.

Including that the "Whiskey Tax Act" led to a sharp reduction in the income of farmers' food prices and the collapse of sideline cottage industry winemaking, which led to the whiskey rebellion.But at the end of the rebellion, it was chattering, two people were arrested, and they went back to their respective houses to find their own mothers.

As for Dashun, my family has a total of [-] mu of land. My wife's spinning is directly related to whether the family can pay taxes, pay rent, eat salt, and whether they can make a pair of cotton trousers in winter.

If this is hit all of a sudden, there is really no other way to survive except to rise up.

For example, the basic routine of some poor peasants in western Shandong for winter: the wife spins and weaves with two catties of cotton, sells it for four catties of cotton, continues spinning and weaving, sells it for eight catties of cotton... and finally completes a family New clothes for the young and old.

Once this routine is broken, can the family survive?
In the same small-scale farming economy, men farm and women weave, facing the impact of industrialization, can your family’s 100 mu of land face the same impact as your family’s 10 mu of land?
Therefore, finding ways to relocate is not a problem in itself.Even as long as you can quickly relocate people, you must have the ability to use billions of acres of land overseas to engage in land enclosure movements internally. As long as you can hold back, you have the ability to quickly force more than 2 million people overseas Farming is fine, as long as you have the ability to hold it back.

Because industry and commerce can indeed accommodate hundreds of millions of people.

However, this requires a long process, instead of saying "with a brain move, an open mind, or click a button, sign a decree, and swipe, industry and commerce can accommodate more than 2 million people."

It can be predicted that for a long period of time, even with the development of industry and commerce, the problem of farmers will still be the primary problem of Dashun.

What's more, the migration of the population and the increase in per capita resources and per capita land occupation are themselves enlarging the market and making the market bigger.

Basically, Dashun's first development area can already be sure to eat all the industries within its sphere of influence, and there will be no competition for the time being.This in turn can accommodate a larger industrial and commercial population.

In general, Li Yan's idea is basically feasible.

Take for example what he said about "killing the sugar industry in India".

If it really works.

Nanyang needs to add about 10,000+ laborers for sugar refining and cutting sugarcane every year.

The Northeast region can add another 10,000+ laborers for planting soybeans, extracting oil, pressing soybean cakes, and transporting.

These 10 people also need food, clothing, basic consumption and so on.

It can also drive the flue-cured tobacco industry, soap manufacturing industry, textile industry, shipbuilding industry, iron smelting industry, etc. in the Jiangsu and Shandong regions, and accommodate more industrial and commercial population.

At the same time, the rotation mode of sorghum-soybean-sorghum, which is necessary for soybean planting at this time, can greatly alleviate the food crisis, stabilize food prices, and at the same time promote the further decline of food prices in coastal areas, and provide industrial and commercial development. good foundation.

It also lays a good foundation for the collapse of the traditional tenancy system in convenient transportation areas:

The landlord collects the rent in kind, and if he collects the three or five buckets, then the price of the grain will hurt the landlord.If you have the ability, you can come up with Dashun's "Corn Law", which directly ignites the war in the pre-emptive area. The bourgeoisie, citizens, workers, Northeast and Southeast Asia, and a large number of military nobles who have benefited from it, such as plant owners and agricultural employees, unite to fight against The traditional landlords declared war and demanded the prohibition of hindering the price reduction of grain. The new aristocrats in Dashun, the source of income is not rent, their ass determines their heads, and it has nothing to do with them hurting farmers. Many of them are even "grain bases" themselves s reason.

Instead of collecting rent in kind, if you accept rent in currency, you will charge an extra three or five buckets. As a result, [some will return the rent to the landlord, preparing to be a clean pauper; car】.

Of course, [Shanghai] here is a synonym.Under the current conditions in Dashun, this includes going to the Guandong, going to Nanyang, crossing Fusang, and also including going to Weihai to build ships, go to Fenglin Bay to cut trees, go to Jinshan to build houses, go to Songsu to work, go to coal mines to dig coal, and so on.

It should be noted that Fuso West Coast.

There are trees, coal, iron, a golden valley suitable for growing cotton, a Mediterranean climate suitable for drying salt, and the barrier of the distant ocean, as well as Liu Yu's policy of supporting the development of industry and commerce there instead of being a dumping colony, making it a It can be looped by itself, and looped around the Atlantic Ocean and east of the Appalachian Mountains.

However, Nanyang, Southern Ocean, and Northeast China are different from Fusang—in places where soybeans are grown, cotton cannot be grown; in places where cotton is grown, there is a lack of iron tools; in places where iron tools are manufactured, there is a lack of light industrial products such as sugar cotton cloth.

Therefore, transporting ten people to Fusang solves the problem of ten people.

In the periphery of the core area, relocating ten people may actually change the fate of twenty people within the overall economic cycle.

To put it simply, from the beginning of the policy formulation, the "centrifugation" of Xinyizhou, Fenglinwan, Jinshan and other places has actually been inevitable.Because Liu Yu has been encouraging and stimulating the development of industry and commerce there from the very beginning, relying on the industry and commerce there to attract people.

Relying on the spontaneous migration of small farmers and crossing the 15000-kilometer Pacific route, that is pure fantasy.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Yu's policy was to encourage the Fusang immigration area to participate in the American trade cycle.

The Heilongjiang River Basin, Nanyang and other places, along with the deepening of economic ties and the surge in the number of Han people, should be regarded as the basic market.

From this point of view, it is also advantageous to engage in capitalist agriculture in these areas.

This also helps to increase the centripetal force. With the close economic connection, it becomes a complete system in the economic cycle, and no one can do without the other.

Judging from Li Yan's thinking now, the overall thinking is basically determined.

As for saying.

In the future, there will be a study, such as "On the Elimination of Poverty", which will be used to reclaim and migrate agricultural villages, integrate the ideas of the ancient Confucianism, draw their support to do things, and recognize that the power of the organized masses is powerful. Wearing Li Zicheng Blindfolds, come to do things under the banner of the emperor of the small peasants.

In other words, collude with those in the new school who actually want to be superior, secretly communicate with the big bourgeoisie in the pioneering areas to win their support, and wink with the military nobles and promise that they will be paid land when the railway is built in the future. Let's work together to do something big and engage in this kind of coup and mutiny.

Liu Yu felt that it didn't matter anymore.

These two, at this stage, are actually the same thing.

"On the Elimination of Poverty" does not oppose industry and commerce, nor does it oppose private ownership, let alone the existing land system.

It simply hoped to solve the problems of widespread poverty, cyclical volatility, and low industrial wages by presuming the existence of "cultivable wastelands that could be quickly brought into market transactions."

Collaborate with the bourgeoisie in the advanced areas, wink at the military aristocrats, neither oppose industry and commerce, nor oppose private ownership, and are even less likely to oppose the existing land system.

I just hope to achieve a temporary reconciliation among the classes: Capitalists, let's discuss it and stop thinking about the land of small farmers.I found a bunch of land suitable for investment with high returns overseas and in the frontier for you, let's go there.Over there, I will directly transfer the state-owned land to you at a low price.After that, if you want a market, I will fight it for you; if you want to open the gates of other countries, I will pay from the treasury to organize a fleet to blow it up for you.

You see, if you keep thinking about eating the land of the small peasants, then the heavens will be dead and the heavens will stand, smashing them to pieces, and hanging us all on the trees with crooked necks, that's not good, right?

As far as commercial or financial capital is concerned, of course they like small-scale farming and land trading the most.If the restrictions on mergers are really liberalized, the commercial and financial capital groups that have formed in the Dashun Pioneering Area will completely eliminate the small farmers in a few years: lending, land mortgages, usury, manipulating prices, manipulating money prices, whatever you want If you play, you can completely kill the small farmers under private ownership of small pieces of land.

But obviously, if you play this way, you will be backlashed, and it will directly trigger the most thorough major events of "emphasizing agriculture over business" and "equalizing the land is not easy".

Li Yan could see this clearly.

Therefore, he did not dare to touch Dashun's existing land system, but also wanted to borrow industrial and commercial capital, and knew that the basic board he could use was these industrial and commercial groups and the intricate new school forces behind them.

Then, he can only reconcile.

Maybe, he can move the landlords and force them to transform.However, he dared not touch the ownership of small farmers.

Landlords in the starting areas are not his base and can be offended.

It's impossible for these people to support him anyway.

And the small farmer, although not his base, but through Chen Sheng Wu Guang, Lvlin Chimei, Zhang Jiao Zhang Bao, Wang Xianzhi Huang Chao, Wang Xiaobo Li Shun, Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong and other senior heroic spirits, he won a great "united front" value—— I can kill you, then you have to think about it.

Therefore, in essence, he relies on the emerging class, and obviously tries to use them as the basic base, by reconciling contradictions, suppressing the engulfment of small farmers by the financial bourgeoisie, and encouraging industrial development.

If he has ambitions.

However, at least, Liu Yu is very satisfied with the idea of ​​relocation and reclamation.

In any case, Li Yan's way of thinking is still the way of thinking of capitalism, not the old way of thinking.

At least, in Li Yan's mind, he knew how to use the real legacy of Dashun going to Nanyang and winning the First World War.

Understand that Liu Yu wants to kill the essence of India's cotton textile industry.

Knowing that the protection system in the colonial era was not only a way to increase protection taxes and subsidies in the country, but to achieve a protection system by destroying related industries in the territory through national power.

As long as you understand it roughly, there is really no need to discuss the specific details.It has already gained a firm foothold in India, with troops, warships, and customs control. How to kill the local cotton textile industry and transform it into cotton and spinning, and how to kill the local sugar industry to protect the sugar industry in Nanyang? If you don't know how, then you are extremely incompetent, let alone do other things.

That being the case, as for other things, Liu Yu felt that there was really no need to ask further questions.
