Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1028 Fragmentation ([-])

It's not that serious.

There are many people who are more exaggerated than what they said, and Dashun really doesn't care too much, because it's all bullshit, so what's the use of it?

Moreover, this is indeed the political correctness of Confucianism. Although most Confucian scholars are opposed to the matter of land equalization, they cannot directly oppose it, and even express their support.

However, Meng Tiezhu's ridicule this time was really ineffective.

The ridicule just now was that Meng Songlu himself felt that it seemed unrealistic. How could he expect to take the initiative to equalize the land?

Obviously there is a great righteousness to control people's permanent property, but they still have to do other things that are completely trivial. It is of course nonsense to expect to directly use the righteousness of controlling people's permanent production to equalize the land.

What's more, doing such a thing in Funing is indeed a farce comparable to Yan Shenggong shaving his hair on the table. He dare not admit that the system of people and property is the first benevolent government, but claims that the Holy Dynasty governs the country with Confucianism.

Ridiculous, and embarrassingly normal.

But now, what Meng Tiezhu thought was his sharpest sarcasm, to Meng Songlu's ears, how could it be a sarcasm?
This is clearly for sure.

Because, the three views of the two are completely separated at this time.

It's like many years ago, people like Liu Yu used yin and yang to ridicule others: You like bound feet, you pervert.

Not only are others not angry, but they are also very happy. To be honest, that’s right, unlike you, who actually think that nature is beautiful, you are the pervert.

Meng Tiezhu said mockingly, you think the strict system of the four peoples is more reactionary and imprisoned than the policies of the previous dynasties. Is this the final solution you can come up with?
Meng Songlu thought, that's right, how good this method is, isn't it beautiful to control the people's permanent property, restrain the powerful, and keep their own parts?

Leaving aside the differences in the development of industry and commerce, the problem caused by the separation of the two views on this issue is very serious.

In fact, when it comes to this step, it is actually impossible for the two sides to communicate.

If we continue to communicate, there will definitely be a fight.

Since no one can be persuaded by words, we can only use fists.

Meng Tiezhu looked at the musket on Meng Songlu's waist, and thought to himself that if a fucking hero doesn't suffer from the immediate loss, I won't argue with you anymore.

Then he clasped his fists and said, "That's it, the ways are different, we don't conspire with each other. We will go our separate ways tomorrow, and we won't meet again in the future. Let's stop here today, I really have nothing to talk to you."

Meng Songlu also nodded, and returned the salute. He always felt that there was something to say in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only go back to the corner resentfully.

The businessman on the side listened to the debate on both sides, and after thinking about it, who should he support?

After thinking about it for a long time, I just thought what to do with those new students, but I didn't say anything.But I definitely don't support that scholar.

However, it seems that this group of new learners think differently from themselves.

The businessman shook his head secretly, thinking about his mother, why can't he stand up and say that it is right to have money and land, cheating and abduction is a skill, and loan sharking is justified?

It is estimated that if you want to speak your mind, both sides will have to beat me.If you don't want to be beaten by both sides, you can only choose one side.

It can only be said that it is because of the lightness of the mouth?Or eat bitter toilet scraping nitrate salt?Anyway, I can only follow one, I don't have the ability to get involved in all this, let them fight, and then I will just follow.

The businessman thought simply, but he didn't realize that in the concrete practice before him, there was an almost irreparable and completely severed gap between the school of new learning and the school of ancient Confucianism.

Such as the Funing incident.

Both sides believe that the fields should be equalized.

However, the two sides have huge differences on what to do after the equalization and how to equalize.

According to what Meng Songlu has learned, Funing's current method of equalizing the land is wrong.

It doesn't matter whether what Liu Yu did was dirty, cruel or not, whether it was sinister or not.

In short, do everything, don't say anything.

What about after you're done?
After finishing, Liu Yu wanted to continue walking down.

The land should be given to the people, but the people are still allowed to buy and sell.

The reason is that within 30 years, the people will go bankrupt again.

Let these bankrupt people all "voluntarily" go to work in factories, complete land annexation without triggering huge refugee uprisings, and at the same time raise low prices and lower land yields.

He has to go outside to engage in bloody accumulation, go outside to find a market, and expand reproduction.

Go to India, go to Europe.

So, what happened to Funing, he did it purely for the emperor to see and amuse the emperor.He didn't care at all, and he didn't think it was a big deal.

In Liu Yu's view, equalizing land is just a means and a transition.

The ultimate goal is to complete the merger.

According to the idea of ​​the ancient Confucianism, equalizing the land is the ultimate goal, and after this ultimate goal is achieved, the society can be solidified.

Confucianism was born in an era when industry and commerce were underdeveloped.

Growing up in an era of underdeveloped industry and commerce.

Therefore, his underlying structure is doomed to be incompatible with the era of industrial and commercial development.

Yan, Li and others couldn't solve the real problems of the increasing development of industry and commerce, and they still gave some fantasies that were more ridiculous than fantasies.

[If you are willing to dedicate to an official, you will be rewarded with a noble salary, if you are willing to sell to an official, you will be rewarded with capital...]

Not to mention why people are willing to donate.

Is it free to co-author Juelu and raise funds?
Just like the school of Yan and Li wrote a letter hoping to carry out divided education and school reform because of the turmoil in the imperial examination.

Don't talk about whether the court wants to do it or not, just say if it wants to do it, where does the money come from?
All their structures are based on the past, based on the foundation that "industry and commerce cannot accommodate too many people".

If the foundation is wrong, no matter how you think about it, it is useless.

No matter how "out of context" they say that they value business, it is useless.

Meng Tiezhu's family came from a poor background, so the ancient Confucian's idea of ​​equalizing the land is supposed to be quite attractive to him.

But the problem is that he has learned arithmetic, and with a little calculation, he knows that one man and one hundred acres are pure nonsense.If one man and one hundred acres cannot be achieved, then the imprisonment of "the self-cultivator is a farmer, let alone a scholar, a businessman, or a worker" in exchange for it is completely uneconomical.

Because he has learned knowledge, he has the hope and possibility to climb up.

His previous ridicule and dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that he felt that he was a scholar and seemed a bit superior, but the court didn't recognize him at all.

And since he could win over the others and enter a junior college by studying, he certainly hoped to live in a world that was a little fairer but allowed the strong to prey on the weak.

Historically, the Jacobins in France carried out land reform. Because of the "anti-feudal" equal share inheritance law, all children have the right to inherit, which made farmers afraid to have children because they were worried about their class slipping.

The British went to work in factories, dreaming of earning enough boat tickets to swim across the ocean to become farmers in America or Australia.

In that case, the identity of a farmer is still very attractive.

Even if Dashun directly engages in land equalization, how much land is equalized, farmers have the right to worry about class decline?

Three acres of land per capita, is it also worthy of worrying about class decline because of the equal land and the original equal share inheritance law?

Where to slide?

Meng Tiezhu's textbooks described a future for him, a future as convinced as he believed that Africans were black even though he had never been to Africa.

That future depends on industry and commerce.

People outside of Xinxue read those books and think that they may be similar to "Journey to the West" and are myths.But they don't think it's a myth, but they think it's hope.

There are no lofty ideals or the belief that the world is for the public.

Yes, it's just a kind of promise that they "jump up the class".

Is it a farmer with three acres of land per capita?

Or be a mechanic who may earn a few taels of silver every month?
For these new learners, in this future blueprint, they are not the same as those ordinary people who enter the factory to work.

It is just cultivating a group of low-level talents in the Dashun transition period to ensure that factories that require a little bit of technical content, such as land reclamation companies and new industries that use steam engines, can develop.

It is to let these people, neither for Dashun, nor for the world, nor for everyone, but only for themselves.

Liu Yu described to these people a bright future in which they can make a leap.

Then they backhandedly used the emperor and Confucian scholars to give them a hopeless shackle-you are not serious scholars.

Now, of course it is wonderful, the problem is a little big.

Hopeful.Now the worst thing is to be an official of the court, two taels of silver a month plus food salary.

Besides, industry and commerce are constantly developing. Whether it is working as an employee in a trading company, a technician in a wasteland reclamation company, learning to repair steam engines, or becoming an officer in the army, Dashun is still on the rise, and there is still a long way to go before the period of intense change.

Once at the intersection, the awkward identities of these people are very interesting.

this intersection.

It could be that the court wanted to curb industry and commerce subjectively.

It could also be that, objectively, the development of industry and commerce has reached a bottleneck due to many problems in Dashun, land rent, etc., and it is necessary to involve those places in the country that are not affected by the new era into this system.

Either way, these people have to make a choice.

Because Liu Yu can guarantee one thing, the Dashun court cannot afford so many official positions to bribe these people.The inside is already crowded enough. No matter how hard the Liangjiazi and the Confucian scholars in the imperial examination fight, they will be united when facing a third party.

This extremely awkward identity also makes the positions of these people very interesting.

Liu Yu didn't want a bunch of purely reactionary utopian societies influenced by Confucian retrospectives.

Compared with this group of utterly reactionary people who always want to stuff everything they have into the framework of the past, Liu Yu hopes to cultivate a group of "fine capital" scholars.

The equalization of land based on the logic of fine capital and the equalization of land based on reactionary utopias are completely different.

As for studying Confucianism, no matter how much you learn and how you revise, you will not be able to improve your resources, at most you will be able to improve your studies.

In short, equalizing the land now is for better mergers in the future.

This is also impossible.

If you don't want to be passively involved in the capitalist system by outside strong ships and guns, you have to take the initiative to fund yourself.

The best way not to get involved passively is to get involved actively.

However, the biggest enemy who wants to take the initiative to fund... is precisely the most gentle fantasy in Confucianism.

This is not to say that Neo-Confucianism and other ideological confinement, but a good utopian wish to return to the original after breaking Neo-Confucianism-to control the people and property.

In the simplest terms, how does Confucianism, which controls people's permanent property, face the inevitable impact of southern Jiangsu on the surrounding small-scale farmers' economy, resulting in widespread bankruptcy in rural areas?
Those who come from outside have to sail tens of thousands of miles around the Cape of Good Hope. In the future, Sunan will come directly to the nearest place, and the medicine will be more powerful.

That is to say, Liu Yu has been pressing and pressing hard. If he hadn't been pressing, the steam engine would have come out, and there was no [-]-mile sea journey, and something serious would have happened.

But no matter how much you delay, this big event will happen sooner or later.At a fork in the road, different people will choose different paths to go down.
