Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1092 Industrial Revolution ([-])

These immigrants with a large number of Yangzhou, Wu, and Huanghuai accents are themselves a part of Dashun's special Northeast development.

And because of the special situation in the Northeast, there is no pain in the transition from a traditional economy to a commodity economy.On the contrary, from the very beginning, this economy was exogenously motivated.They will not feel the problems of the transition period at all.

More essentially, some scholars in later generations inspected the export structure of the Northeast in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and came to the same conclusion: the Northeast, in essence, is exchanging soil for currency, but using soybeans as a medium , to transfer the fertility elements in the soil.

In fact, at this time, Dashun's development of the Northeast is also adhering to this idea.

The main commodity is soybeans, which is essentially a process of transforming nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil using soybeans as a medium.

The value of soybeans in northern Jiangsu is not reflected in the starch synthesized by photosynthesis of soybeans.In other words, the agriculture in Northeast China at this time, the value-added carbohydrates through photosynthesis, are not very valuable.

The most valuable thing is nitrogen fixation, nitrogen and phosphorus in the soil absorbed by roots.

The rice in Nanyang sells the sunlight energy in Nanyang; the bean cake in the Northeast sells the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium absorbed by the roots.

The nitrogen content of bean cake is 6%, twenty times that of manure at 0.35%; the phosphorus content at 1.8% is also much higher than that of manure.

Relying on this kind of undeveloped land, before the emergence of the chemical fertilizer industry, it must be no problem to support it for five or sixty years.After it comes out, it may be feasible to rely on chemical fertilizers to make up for it.

Although it is still selling resources in essence, it has indeed promoted the development of the commodity economy in the entire Dashun new system.

The people involved naturally couldn't understand what was supporting the exchange of goods between Northeast and North Jiangsu.

But they are very accustomed to the economic foundation shaped by this kind of commodity exchange, which is completely different from the way of life before immigration.

Today, 60% of the developed land is in the hands of "big farmers".The so-called big farmers refer to those who own more than 500 mu of land.

However, the special demands of planting beans and harvesting and the labor status of hired workers made the traditional, single feudal tenancy relationship basically not produced, or the ones that had been formed before were gradually disintegrated.

On the contrary, peasants depended far more on commercial and financial capital than they did on landlords.

The [super-economic exploitation] relationship under the feudal tenancy state mentioned by Lao Ma has been greatly weakened, while the pure [economic exploitation] relationship of a capitalist nature has been established.

It is reflected in these people that they do not complain about "the rent is too high", but pay more attention to the market price and cloth price.

Even if it is nonsense, it is easier to speculate on whether the two-foot-eight cotton cloth is pure cotton or not.

Because these things are closely related to their lives.

There is no possibility for men to farm and women to weave. All the necessities of life such as cloth have to be bought with money.

This is also an important reason why the banknotes of Songjiang Prefecture can quickly occupy the market here, replacing silver and copper coins.

Dashun does not collect much tax, and it is impossible to rely on official immigration. It can only rely on the rich commercial and financial capital of Songjiang Prefecture.

Using silver as a tax currency means that the imperial court has given up the right to issue banknotes, which is in the hands of financial capital and commercial capital.As the most dependent place in Dashun on commercial capital and financial capital, coupled with Dashun's own shortage of silver and gold, these banknotes, which can be used to buy primary industrial products, have become the legal currency here.

The attitude of the court is indifferent.

Northeast China, Jiangsu, and Nanyang can buy sorghum, soybeans, wine, silk, cotton cloth, ironware, salt, and rice with the same banknotes received by the court...then naturally the court will not object.

Because until now, Dashun is still in the small government status of the previous dynasty, neither able to manage too much nor understand it well.Collect taxes to ensure national defense, family inheritance, and water control, that's all.The tax collected can buy things.

Since Guan didn't know much about the grassroots, an apparently very suspicious person came to the leaders of these horse sledge drivers in such a grand manner. Taking advantage of the signs of the two-foot-eight wide cloth chattering, after toasting a glass of wine, he made a request .

I hope to take a sledge that transports bean cakes, honey and soybean oil to Shenyang, go to Shenyang together, and transfer to Yingkou, obviously planning to go south by boat after the ice breaks.

The person who made this request spoke with a Subei accent that was somewhat indelible.

He has a strong body, wearing a sheepskin robe, a short knife hanging from his waist, and an obvious scar on his face.

This spring, the queen didn't hesitate, so the emperor pardoned the world.

From the beginning of Liu Yu's reform in southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, the group of Yangzhou people who were dispatched to the Northeast and Nanyang were charged with strange crimes, which were outside the category of heinous crimes.

Although they rebelled, they were definitely not rebellious; although they rebelled, there were no cults involved, so it was not unreasonable; in addition, Dashun's ancestral grave was not in the Huanghuai District, so it had nothing to do with conspiracy.

The remaining seven, farther apart.

Therefore, these people are included in the empress's amnesty this year, and they can theoretically return to their hometowns.

But even if you don't judge people by their appearance, but only say that after the amnesty, they speak with a Yangzhou accent and look like people who were exiled and sent here back then. Those who can think about returning to the south are certainly not ordinary people.

Most of those who were exiled and dispatched here were either working in workshops or working in the fields. Their lives were relatively stable, but they certainly couldn't afford the money to go back home.

Those who can save money in the past few years are either those who made a fortune by looting in the mountains and forests after fleeing, and now wash their hands in the gold basin; or they went to dig for gold, but they didn't die; embezzled.

Normal labor, part-time job, and hired labor farming, how can it be possible to save money to return home, or how can it be possible to be willing to toss and go back?

Just after passing Sanjiangkou, Tongjiangzi is further down, and there are big towns along the way.Here is no better than the north of the Songliao watershed, and there have been no major bandits or bandits in recent years.

Since it is money, the hero doesn't ask where it came from, as long as you know it well.

They are all people who come out to make a living. If there is an opportunity to rob to make money, mine gold reserves to escape, dig ginseng and kill teammates, who is willing to work hard and work honestly?

People still admire this kind of person who caught up with the amnesty even if he got the first pot of gold. Those salt smugglers back then also changed after catching up with the amnesty of the Yuan Dynasty, and now they have become big businessmen that the court relies on.

The leader of this convoy also spoke with a Subei accent, and he was kind when he met a fellow countryman in a foreign country.It's just that this car boss really wasn't exiled here, and he came to the Northeast earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten into the team leader's position.

This is a group of people from northern Jiangsu who took the initiative to develop northward after the great development of Nanyang and capital began to enclose land.

The owner of the car took the money, and was offered three bowls of wine and two catties of meat, and he agreed wholeheartedly—the horses belonged to the owner, and the soliciting was a side job. A town a day.

"We only want to go to Shenyang. It's easy to go to Yingkou after arriving in Shenyang. Now we are going to ship all this year's goods there before the ice is broken."

"Otherwise, in February and March, the icy water will rise again, and the boat that can't make it will have to wait until June to leave."

"Brother, are you going back to your hometown?"

Hope the hitchhiker didn't deny it, and said bluntly: "Exactly. This year's amnesty, our group of people can finally go back to our hometown. While we can still move, we still have to go back to our hometown to have a look."

There is nothing to hide.

It’s not bad here. In some places, if ten people are arrested and questioned, there may be two or three who were sentenced to exile after being suppressed.

Hearing the words of going back to my hometown to have a look, the owner of the car couldn't help but sigh a little. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in this life.What can I do when I go back?

Now I have made my home here, looking for a job in the caravan, managing a cavalry of hundreds of people, specializing in delivering goods for the company, and living a good life.

There is no need to worry about eating and drinking, and there is wine every day. Although it is colder in winter, pan Kang and fire dragons have gradually become popular in recent years.Here is no better than my hometown in northern Jiangsu, and there are no salt fields and weeds. The most important thing is firewood, which is actually easy to survive in winter.

The memory of my hometown has long faded, but now I remember the crime I suffered when I first came here, and I started to vomit from the time I got on the boat, wishing I could vomit all the gall.

Thinking of this, the owner of the car raised his wine bowl and touched the person who asked for a ride, and said again: "Brother, do you still have family in your hometown?"

The hitchhiker also touched him, hummed, took a sip of bitter wine, and sighed: "There are two younger brothers, and I don't know how they are doing now. If there is no one at home, I won't go back. Mom and Dad It’s gone long ago, so what are you going back for?”

Boss Che didn't ask any more questions, he just said to sleep tonight and leave early tomorrow morning.

The man who took the car thanked him a few more words, and went to pay for the drink.

The hitchhiker said that he wanted two younger brothers, which was true.As for no one else in the family, in fact there are still some, and there are wives and children, but I don't know if the wives and children are still there.

The hitchhiker can also be regarded as a standard victim in the early stage of Dashun's industrial revolution. He committed the crime in the first year of Weixin.

Originally he was a salt worker in the salt area, but unfortunately he was a salt worker hired by a merchant, not a salt household with status and grass, but actually helped the merchant in private.

But in the first year of the new year, the reform of the salt area, his embarrassing status was worse than those salt households who sold and mortgaged the grass.

Salt workers like him don't get a penny of compensation.Belonging to a "black family", "blind stream", that grass dispute has nothing to do with him.

He didn't know what division and disintegration meant, but he knew that in the end, these salt workers hired by the merchants didn't have a hair, and could only be naked and naked.

The land reclamation company negotiated with the merchant, and directly demolished the shack where the merchant lived for these salt workers.The merchants only made a setback to those salt households who had pawned the grass yards. They hired these prolific salt workers, but they would not give them a penny.

The dealer said, didn't Duke Xingguo give you a way out?Go to the land reclamation company to farm, anyway, you are also working hard, where are you selling it?
