Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1504 Final Chapter Ninety Three Years (Twenty Two)

What is the benefit of being easy to eat?

For example, the land north of the Songliao watershed is suitable for growing beans. In fact, Dashun has won the markets of Nanyang and Japan. With the railway repaired, capitalist agricultural production can be established directly north of the Songliao watershed.

What is the benefit that is not easy to eat?
For example, many lands in North America today are not only suitable for growing five grains such as rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean, but also suitable for growing watermelon, cotton, and flax.

The problem is, to make these lands profitable, you have to prepare a lot of things for these lands.

Under the existing conditions, a huge consumer market must be prepared, otherwise these things cannot be sold, and the surplus value must be realized in circulation. How can it be profitable without surplus value?For the emergence of this huge consumer market, you may have to immigrate millions to tens of millions, because there is no consumption without people.

This is called the benefit that is not easy to eat.

After the railway is repaired, the capital will take the initiative to go to the Songliao watershed to enclose land and grow beans.

However, you told the capital that if the population of North America reaches 5000 million, your land in North America will be valuable.Why don't you spend a lot of money to buy land in North America first, and then you pay to immigrate there.In this way, when your great-grandchildren's family blooms in a hundred years, your family can exploit the surplus value, and the land will appreciate in value.

Even if the reasoning makes sense, but a little calculation of people's capital, a hundred years from now?As long as the annual return on investment, or average profit, can reach 10%, what will it be in a hundred years?

That is a 151574 times increase.One tael of silver becomes 15 taels, what can I do with this money?Now I buy a piece of land in Fusang, even if I bought 100 mu of land for one tael of silver, it is cheap as hell.After that 100 years, can this 100 mu of land be sold for 15 taels of silver?Is this shit made of gold?Or is this stone made of gold?

Indeed, Dashun really has the habit of buying land for investment, and the whole world is very keen on it.

But in fact, it is still the same question that Mozi asked back then: Is it useful?is love?
People who buy land, do they love land?Love dirt?Love the scent of this earth?Love this ditch?So keen to buy land?
Or because the land is to be used as an asset.Because as an asset, land is the most valuable and the highest yield?

Well, since it is capital, we have to ask: the land in Fusang, the land in Dashun, you can find a piece of fertile land, even the river next to it, and even the accumulated temperature and precipitation are the same.But are the social conditions outside the two lands the same?

In other words, take the simplest empathy.

Now, suppose that a large landlord somewhere in the Central Plains owns 4000 acres of land.The imperial court said, how about this, your land belongs to the imperial court, and you will be given 10 times, no, 100 times the compensation, and you will be compensated for 40 mu of land on the Fusang prairie, which is 30 miles long and 30 miles wide. It's all for you.

Is this the main place?
Not to mention anything else, even if you take someone with you... The law is a ruling tool of the ruling class, and this tool needs to be enforced by the violent organs of the state.In the Central Plains, the 4000 mu of land belonged to the landlord. The Dashun court wanted to uphold the "law", and all private ownership of land seemed sacred and inviolable.So even if the gold and silver treasures left by the family were dug out of the cellar, and a thousand people were moved there, it was said that it was like the system in the Central Plains, [-]% of the tenants... Do you think these tenants are hanging on to him?What's more, does the tenant care about the sanctity of private ownership of land?Just divide the land, why, the Dashun court can still send troops to protect the sanctity of private ownership?If you dare to come, just do it with him!
Historically, North America began to usher in a large wave of immigration in 1865.Because the Civil War was just over, the labor force was insufficient, and the Homestead Law, etc., the "Contract Labor Law" was promulgated-this stuff, it can be understood as a "contract slave" system, the factory owner pays the freight, and when will the wages be deducted according to the contract and interest After paying the shipping fee, when is it considered free.

Many people praised that this policy is so smart, it has triggered a wave of European immigration, brought about the rapid growth of North American population, and the rapid development of industry.

However, saying this is completely empty talk.

Not to mention all kinds of material conditions, but only the simplest one: no cheap steamboat tickets from the Gunard Company, and a transatlantic steamboat journey shortened to 12 days-this seems to be the simplest of all conditions, Then this policy is just empty talk.

If there is no such condition and you still want to develop industry, then there is only one way left, which is to abolish the "Homestead Law" and force farmers to work in factories instead of going west to become self-cultivated farmers.

Of course, this is not to say that it is only necessary to light up a steamship technology, but that the steamship is just the simplest and crudest of the many material foundations and social conditions, and it can be rubbed out with hard work.

As for the remaining conditions, they can't be rubbed out at all.

These problems have also caused Dashun's current very difficult situation.

For example, in this very difficult situation, just find a random point and explain why it is difficult to move.

For example, in later generations, dating back to the beginning of the Opium War in 1840, how many people with lofty ideals and heroes have fought and sacrificed for their ideals in the past century, and finally regained their light?

Thousands of people must have it, right?

Then counting from 1840, among these tens of millions of heroes, what kind of mentality did they fight with?
Anti-Manchu, restore the Han soil, kill Yama demon?
This, directly throwing away in Dashun, a Shaanxi emperor, this reason is really useless.

Anti-foreign aggression?
Well, in Dashun, if you want to fight against foreigners, you have to go to the Thames Estuary.

For the rise of China?

Well, although Dashun is a sewing monster now, but it is still worthy of being called the steamroller of the 19th century and the number one power in the world, right?

For the living space of the Chinese?

This is even more useless.As I said before, the problem now is that even if Dashun dies immediately, and the world has been in chaos for 50 years, in the Pacific Rim, from Australia to North America, the Chinese have completely occupied the absolute population advantage.But the Chinese have an advantage, and it has basically nothing to do with the more than 2 million people in the mountainous areas of the southwest, the arid areas of the northwest, the areas where conflicts between humans and land broke out, and the ecological collapse areas of North China. At this time, two fifths of the world's population, if fully There is no difference between industrialization, comprehensive prosperity, prosperity with the whole world, and general industrialization all over the world.

So, in fact, there is only one option left in the end, which is to fight for the liberation of all mankind.

Of course, before the emergence of scientific societies, there would be all kinds of messy reactionary societies, utopian societies, religious societies, petty bourgeois societies, and so on.

In addition to traditional factors, it is inevitable that before the emergence of scientific theories, there is only the option of pure "world harmony" in Dashun.

The question is, how can we get to the great unity of the world?

In the past, Confucianism was a line of contention, whether it was from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside.

However, social consciousness lags behind social being.

No matter how much this set of things is contested, the social foundation it produces is the era of small-scale peasant handicrafts.

Now, times have changed, and most people know that this set of things doesn’t work, especially with the development of textual research. Many people think that books like Zhou Li and Zhou Guan are mostly written by some people to advocate Wang Mang’s reform. The... er, "novel" setting.

Boring at home with Yan Yuan, Li Cheng and others, the two of them created a whole set of "official system", "land law", "school system", "tax policy", "military system", etc., which are almost the same thing Son.

But now, the only thing Dashun can support this "beautiful vision for the future world" is Liu Yu's set of things.

However, the problem is that in order to prevent being exterminated, the new school only taught "skills" and did not learn "Tao". Most of the content of "Tao" is subtle and just a few words.

This is also a certain necessity caused by social conditions.

It's like saying.

Fare, that is, a group of thinkers are at the top and civilians are at the bottom, and many lawyers and other middle-level people serve as the link between thinkers and civilians.

So, Saint-Simon would say, the slogans of the Fage group, like those of the reactionaries they oppose, are empty and rhetorical.

And Hua Ge, the philosopher king of the native school, faced a group of illiterate farmers who had basically never been out of the mountains in the valley.

Therefore, the style is popular and easy to understand, which can be understood even by semi-literate people.

The situation Liu Yu faced at the beginning was that Dashun allowed saints, but they had to be saints who had died for more than 2000 years.

The imperial power is strong.

It was the middle of the dynasty, and the recuperation was over.

In addition, taking history as a mirror, there are such things as the "retro semi-sacred opinion leader" An Hangong, and Wang Jinggong, who "one person can change the world".

Therefore, Liu Yu can only do things as a "subject".

And the status of "subject" is doomed. In the new school, there are many things that cannot be said, many things can only be said in a few words, and at most only the natural order, the upper limit is fixed.

Can this upper limit of doom support "beautiful visions of the future world"?

If Liu Yu has never really seen the future world, such an upper limit of certain death cannot support the beautiful fantasy of the future world. Logic deduces the final result.

The problem is that Liu Yu has really seen the future world, so even if the upper limit of death is only spells, then he can still describe a similar, beautiful future world that does not sound far away and seems feasible.

So, when Dashun, the suture monster, had a doomed rejection reaction, why did the emperor transport Liu Yu's bones back with great fanfare for burial?

There is a saying in later generations: the king of heaven kills the father of heaven, and it will be nothing in the end.Pack up the package and go home, still doing long-term work.

What if the "Heavenly Father" died of illness early or died of natural causes, but the "Heavenly King" can still receive guidance, and there is evidence that the "Heavenly Father" is still guiding?
If we say that Dashun’s Practical School has a complete set of methodology and logical speculation.

Then, the founder is not easy to do. I love my teacher, but I love the truth more. Using methodology and logical speculation can lead to subsequent correct results.

In other words, if Dashun's Practical School learns a set of scientific theories, which can draw subsequent results through logical deduction and the use of methodology, then this set is useless.

But the problem is... Liu Yu is more like a... prophet.

Rather than a Dashun thinker and philosopher.

It's like, he can solve a solid geometry problem beautifully, but he doesn't even teach many basic theorems of geometry.

He is just a prophet.

A fragmented... prophet who "sees the future" and can "describe the future in the words of the moment".

Only.

Because there is no fundamental theorem, Dashun has come to this point, and those who are ambitious are confused and don't know what to do.The public says that the public is right, and the woman says that the woman is right.

And at this time, there will naturally be many people who feel that if the "prophet" of our real school is here, there must be a way.
