Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 68 25. Up and Down
Hearing the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, Sanzang woke up in a daze. This should be the sound of firecrackers opening the door of his own house. Zheng Tieshi had arranged to set it off last night. He couldn't get up so early.

The customs and habits of all parts of the country are actually similar, and Yandu is the same. The "open door firecrackers" will be set off at 4 or 5 o'clock on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"What time is it?" Jingru also woke up,

"It's 4:[-]! It's still early! Sleep a little longer!"

Sanzang looked at his watch. Last night he was disturbed by the sound of firecrackers and didn't sleep well all night. Someone started to set off firecrackers after midnight. He fell asleep again drowsily with Jingru in his arms.

"Get up!" Jingru kept pushing him,
"Sleep a little longer! I'm so sleepy!" She hugged Qin Jingru and did not let go.

"Still sleeping! It's almost 9 o'clock, and I'm not afraid of the children's jokes!"

Jingru looks helpless, she also enjoys her husband's infatuation, but it's really not the time.

When the two of them packed up and opened the door, the eldest daughter stood at the door with her brothers and sisters sweating profusely. When they saw the big snowman in the yard, it turned out that they had been playing for a long time!
"Happy New Year, Mom and Dad!" The four shouted in unison.

"Happy New Year, children!" Sanzang couldn't help but blush when he saw the eccentric eldest daughter pouted, and waved his hand to cover up his embarrassment, "Let's go! Let the children go to have a snowball fight!"

Anyway, on the first day of the new year, he didn't have any relatives or elders who wanted to pay New Year's greetings. The snow fell so heavily last night, and he didn't want to go out.

His father-in-law doesn't go to pay New Year's greetings until tomorrow, and it depends on the road conditions. At most, a good couple will come to pay New Year's greetings today.

I feel that I have nothing to do, so I take the children to play and enjoy this rare family happiness.

It is a custom in Yandu to eat dumplings for a day on the first day of the new year, and Sanzang has long been used to it. When eating at noon, he saw Xiaodang and Sophora japonica sitting at the table to eat.

The two of them rent here and rarely go back to her house. The life here is so good, and no one asks them for food expenses. My aunt and uncle are very kind to both of them.

"Aren't you going to visit your grandma today?" Sanzang asked casually.
"I'll go after lunch! It's easy to go on the next road!" Xiao Dang rushed to answer.

"Well! That's good too!"

Sanzang is a university teacher, and he has the same winter vacation as the students, and government agencies and factories only have three days off.

Only a few good classmates walked around each other, and they were free after returning from the New Year's greetings at his old man's house.

Sanzang is also a teacher of economics, and has been paying attention to the changes in the country's economic policies.

Since the year before last, the country has opened up self-employed entrepreneurs and lifted the ban on cottage industry at the same time, and the small commodity market in urban and rural areas has recovered rapidly.

The self-employed economy is booming rapidly, and the number of employees has increased sharply. According to relevant statistics, the number has increased tenfold in just two years to this year.

This brings up a new problem. The self-employed are no longer satisfied with the immediate operating profit and want to expand reproduction, which brings about the extinct but exploitative problem of "hired labor".

The most famous one is "Fool's Melon Seeds". At the end of last year, 12 people were hired to work, and they had already earned more than 100 million yuan.

There are many other examples like this. This kind of problem is not a problem at all in later generations, but now it has begun to touch the sensitive nerves of many conservatives.

Sanzang has taught "Das Kapital", and he already has a small key in his hand, which may open a small window to the closed door.

Once the window is punctured and a small opening is opened, the tide of the private economy will move forward even more, and it will also bring huge benefits to the country.

It is also in his interest to pierce the window paper as soon as possible, and someone will raise it in half a year.

In Chapter 3, Volume [-], Chapter [-], Chapter [-], "Rate of Surplus Value and Quantity of Surplus Value", there is a method for dividing "capitalists" and "small proprietors".

According to Ma Dashen’s calculations, at that time (in the middle of the 19th century), those who employed less than 8 workers and directly participated in the production process like workers were “intermediaries between capitalists and workers and became small owners”, while more than 8 People start to "occupy workers' surplus value" and become capitalists. (Salute to Professor Lin)
Based on this, Sanzang wrote an article vigorously advocating "seven ups and eight downs".

After the article was written, after thinking about it, I decided to go to the old principal and ask him to read it for help, and then I had to find an authoritative newspaper to send it out.

Sanzang rode his bicycle to the school in the cold wind, arrived at the old principal's house, and knocked on the door.

"Happy New Year, Master! Happy New Year to you!"

"Oh! It's you! Come here as soon as you come, what else do you want to buy? Old Li! There are customers coming!"

"Hey! The three mages are here! Welcome from afar!"

"Hey! How dare I bother you to welcome me!"

"Tell me! What are you looking for again?"

"It's okay, can't I come and see you!
It's just a new year, let's wish you a happy new year! "

"Ha ha!"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from your sharp eyes. This is an article I wrote, take a look!"

"Yeah! I'm a bit insightful, and I've finally done my job properly! How do you want to do it?"

"How about publication in an authoritative newspaper?"

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay! I'll find someone to hand it over to you!"

"Thank you, old principal!"

"It's nothing to go! Go with your beautiful wife and young son!

I didn't prepare your lunch here! "

"Still angry! I lied to you a little bit, but I didn't delay anything!"

"Hehe! You are so courageous! Lies come out as soon as you open your mouth. I thought when did you join country A?"

"Hey! How do you know?"

"You think I'm stupid? Can you deceive me with such a big movement in your house? What? Take me to make a fortune next time?"

"Really? You want to make a fortune too? But you need capital!"

"Get lost! If you don't leave, your dog legs will be interrupted!" The old headmaster threw a book while touching it.

Sanzang tilted his head to hide, and ran away immediately.

"Are you willing?" The teacher picked up the book and said with a smile.

"He's a talent! But he's also very courageous. If you don't pull the rope properly, you don't know what trouble you can cause!"

Within a few days, the article was published in an authoritative newspaper, and an editor's note was added. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many people talked about it.

Conservatives were dumbfounded, and they opened the treasured book "Das Kapital" one after another to check, hey, this is true, Ma Dashen really said so, they all stopped and turned against the employment of more than 8 people.

The innovative people were greatly encouraged. It turned out that they were not serious about their studies before, and Ma Dashen supported them all!
You can do it boldly and move forward boldly.

This has also become a red line for the time being, with less than 8 people can let go of the operation, no one will take care of it, and private owners have become more and more courageous.

Then Sanzang became an "economic expert", and he wrote "The Story of Currency", which made him famous in school.

At this time, no one came to slap him in the face, pierced his real body, and also bluffed many friendly people who didn't know the truth, leading to an incident.
