Xinshun 1730

Generally speaking, the way of civil and military affairs is definitely not what it means.But the emperor talked with the chosen successor, which can be said to be more disgusting and cruel.

In this seemingly stable but turbulent era, it is impossible for the prince to only learn benevolence and benevolence, otherwise he will not be able to control the scene, protect the crown, and the ancestral temple in the future.

When Li Yan said this, the prince vaguely understood.

The School of Explicit Learning has its own program and plans for the future.

They have ideals. Although it seems that many ideas are wrong, naive, and reactionary, after all, there is a program.

The imperial power uses everything as a means, or its program is existence, and existence is the program.

For the Xianxue faction, the current external land is a resource for the world to reach a well-off and great harmony. If it is used well, it can survive the difficult industrialization transformation.

As far as imperial power is concerned, the current external land is a card in the emperor's hand, a card that can be used to alleviate conflicts when conflicts break out, and is also a resource that can be used for the continuation of imperial power.

Before, when Li Yan was in power, he relied on selling a lot of resources and a lot of land in exchange for support.

In name, at least what he said to Liu Yu, or what he said to gain support from Liu Yu and the forces behind him, was for the sake of the common people and the future of China.

In essence, from another perspective, it is better to say that the construction of the railway to the north of the Songliao watershed is his return to those supporters, the bourgeoisie, and the officer corps.To the north of the Songliao watershed, a condition consistent with capitalist production relations was created, making land production there profitable.

Of course, everyone is not stupid about this matter.Liu Yu knew it very well at the beginning, but to use each other, at least the "inheritance" was bought in advance.

Now, Dashun imperial power already has a solid reactionary ruling group.

This ruling group is composed of the military officer corps, the new military aristocratic group of the soybean farmer, the oil press, the sorghum wine industry, and the blood tax government soldiers who Liu Yu said when he was conquering Rakshasa.

Of course, their strength is not very strong, but they stand closely with the imperial power.The imperial power needs them, and they also need the imperial power to maintain their special status.

As Engels said, the shochu industry saved Germany’s Junkers and made them complete their transformation; while soybeans and its related industries such as oil-extracted bean cake fertilizers created a wonderful military aristocratic group for Dashun—even ugly To put it bluntly, similar to digging ginseng and picking pearls, a military group was created in Liaodong at the end of Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, relying on them alone will definitely not be able to suppress the world.

And to rely on this group rule, the imperial power had to learn one thing: jump left and right, instigate and use the contradictions between classes, sometimes stand on one side, sometimes stand on the other, frighten the bourgeoisie with workers, and frighten small farmers and handicraftsmen with the bourgeoisie.

It's just that, after all, Li Yan had been in contact with Liu Yu for a long time before. Although Liu Yu practiced a lot of counter-practicing, but counter-practicing is counter-practicing, and he still has to know Taoism to counter-practice.
He has talked a lot, listened to a lot, and seen a lot in the past few decades, so from the perspective of imperial power, he is a "defeatist" after all. …

That's why they said things like "the great way is fifty, the sky is fourty-nine, the human way is the first, and there is only a glimmer of life".

He said that after his death, the flood was torrential, and he also pinned his hopes on his son, hoping that his son would win in the chaos and seize the chance of survival.

He put this chance of survival in what he called the "flooding" future chaos.

That is to say, the awakening of Europe, the uprising in India, and the outbreak of the disease of "bloody fire and overproduction" in the first-developed areas of Dashun.

He believes that the current reforms, reforms, improvements, and equalization of land and immigration are "fighting fires with salaries."

This is tantamount to knowing that this person will suffer from the disease of excessive blood and fire in the future, so let this person increase his body and become stronger, so that the problem of increasing body size and excessive blood can be alleviated.But on the other hand, this thing treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The more you do this, the fatter you will become. When the disease of excessive blood gets angry in the future, it will not be cured at all and you can only wait for death.

This is what he thinks is the angle of "fighting the fire with a salary".

As for how to use this flood or call it a crisis, Li Yan still gave the prince a simple example to understand what "differentiation and disintegration" is.

"Since we talk about division and disintegration, then we need to know who will be the most successful and most threatening if they are not divided."

"Or, who can threaten the ancestral temple now?"

Since we are talking about threatening the ancestral temple, then options such as Jingnan and Xuanwumen are obviously ruled out.For Jongmyo, this is called meat rotten in the pot.

The prince knew very well that his father would not talk nonsense, since he was asking to threaten the ancestral temple, he must have ruled out options such as Jingnan and Xuanwumen.

Sui said: "Take history as a mirror, or die outside, such as Jingkang's shame and Yashan's blood."

"Or die inside, one man makes trouble, chops up trees for soldiers, raises poles for flags, and the seven temples are destroyed."

"However, my son looks at the affairs of the world, and the matter of Jingkang's shame and Yashan's blood is no longer possible. For example, Mongolia has been exploited by merchants and cannot survive, and it is powerless; and neighboring countries such as North Korea and Japan are not children It is really nothing to worry about if you are arrogant; as for the countries of Europe, there is no need to mention it."

"Yes, if it is said that the most threatening and the most successful, it is the people at the bottom."

Li Yan nodded.

The things he learned from Liu Yu were messy and scattered, and he did not receive a complete set of education in essence.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to logically deduce the principle that "under the ownership of small estates, small farmers cannot be dragged away by the bourgeoisie as in the case of the French Revolution, but will instead form an alliance with urban proletarian workers."

However, the inability to deduce it logically does not mean that Li Yan cannot draw a possible answer from a wrong method.

The angle of Li Yan's reasoning is wrong, superficial, and formal.But the conclusion is correct again.

"Well, it's difficult for one man to cut down trees for soldiers, raise poles for banners, and seven temples. This time is different from the past."

"Since the emperor divided the rule of the inside and the outside, now the world is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside."

"Inner, woodcutters, small farmers and artisans."

"Outside, those who expose the pole are hired workers and propertyless."

"Dividing the inside and the outside, it is necessary to oppose the inside and the outside, and the seven temples will succeed."

"Otherwise, the current situation is very different from the past. Internal rebellion, there will be advance wealth, materials, and tariffs, which are sufficient to suppress; One city fights for the capital of the world.”…

"Therefore, the most important thing is to try our best to prevent the bottom poor inside and outside from forming an alliance to make the world a common cause."

"Conversely, they are the ones who want to disintegrate."

"In the past, health care workers, what did they do? It was just to prevent scholars from being unwilling and difficult to live, so they made chaos. If Zhu Yuanzhang did not get Liu Bowen, it would be difficult to achieve things. Therefore, in the past, when ruling, you only need to beware of small farmers who make trouble, and together with scholars But, that's the point."

"Nowadays, with the spread of practical learning, many truths that were kept secret in the past are flooding the market. Therefore, the rulers now should be wary of those who have knowledge in the city, but talk about the benefits of hiring workers. Especially now It not only solves the desire of farmers to have their own land, but also wants to solve the plight of industrial development. It has a program and makes sense, and it is even more important to talk about equalizing the land. This is the person to beware of.”

"Dividing and disintegrating, the key point is to divide and disintegrate them. Divide internal and external, divide industry and agriculture, instigate in the middle, drive tigers and wolves, borrow swords to kill people, and make them scattered. You have to rely on the wise and benevolent virtue of the emperor."

"Nowadays, the most discussed topic in the world, apart from Juntian, is the matter of Qianguanzikou."

"Let me ask you, if in the future there will be turmoil in Europe, riots in India, and Songsu and other places will not be able to sell due to the increasing production of machines..."

"Juntian may cure the long-term, or cure the root cause. But the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. At that time, is it necessary to talk about money barriers, internal control, and mainland protection?"

The prince had no doubts about this, and responded: "Father's words are very true. Juntian may be able to achieve long-term governance, but the effect is slow, and the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst."

"By loosening the money gates, industrial and commercial controls, and capital controls, the huge mainland market is just like our external expansion to seize the colonial market."

"Therefore, at that time, we need to talk a lot about liberalizing customs duties, deregulation, and banning inland handicrafts and smallholder protection in order to sell things."

Li Yan said again: "Today's radicals in real learning talk more about 'progress'. There are many angles of interpretation for Xingguogong's knowledge, and each has its own reasons. This kind of 'progressive' knowledge is the most dangerous, especially those who talk about hired workers So how can we use this opportunity to tarnish his name and disintegrate his righteousness?"

"For example, before that, among those who are usually quite prestigious among the hired workers in the market, select a few people and secretly support them."

"When the plethora crisis breaks out, make these guys talk about 'progress'. And, talk about 'progress' from the standpoint of pretending to be for the benefit of hired workers."

"Or: the small peasants and handicraftsmen in the interior are a reactionary group that hinders progress and deserves to be crushed by cheap industrial products."

"Let it talk about something, crush small farmers and handicraftsmen, so that hired workers can benefit."

"The idea of ​​so-called 'progress' is under the control of you and me. When he talks about white, you don't want to mention black, but light white, pink white, light yellow white, etc., to take away the positive colors, and replace white with yellow, so that Annihilation in vain."

"They talk about 'progress', they talk about small farmers and handicraftsmen as a reactionary bunch, hindering progress, etc."

"As for the factory owners, they must like it and support it."

"As for the hired workers, you can also confuse them. They are unemployed due to the disease of excess blood, and they are worrying about being unemployed. At this time, they talk about crushing small farmers and handicraftsmen and making the interior a market. Most of them will think that there is a lot of money reason."…

"Even if some die-hard people oppose with the name of Xing Guogong's fake book, they may not be able to regain the dominance. At that time, the dominance of the scholars, or the dominance of industrial workers and other classes will be supported. In the hands of the few mouthpieces, most of the hired workers will follow those mouthpieces, and will not accept the ideas of those die-hard and radical people.”

"In this way..."

Li Yan laughed lightly, and continued: "Open a province's banknotes, control, and use the most 'progressive' policy to counter progress."

"If you want 'progress', then I will give you 'progress'."

"Don't talk about sub-population taxes, protection taxes, even land sales, capital enclosures, hoarding goods, speculating on food prices, swindling and abducting, lending to force land, etc., you must be the most 'progressive', just According to the tone of those 'progressive' people, crush the reactionary gang."

"In this way, within two years, the province will be in chaos! Either in Bailian or in Yihe, their generation may not necessarily oppose the imperial court, but most of them want to support the imperial court and rule the government, and destroy those 'progressive' factions."

"The atmosphere of the world is bound to change. The haze of radicalism and progress left by the Duke of Xing will also dissipate and turn conservative."

"I want to reform the imperial examination first, that's why. At that time, officials from the mainland will learn practical knowledge, but how can they support this kind of 'progress'?"

"At that time, the world will be raging, and there will be a backlash. It will also make small farmers and craftsmen remember the 'progressive' remarks of the proletarian workers in the city."

"In the future, even if the hired workers in the cities riot, the small peasants and craftsmen will remember the enmity of that day and will not help them. I'm afraid I still think in my heart that this 'progress' is not worth mentioning. It's really terrible. The people in the city can't be trusted, and it's better to rely on the emperor."

"Recruit Anna and other rioters, and let them station around the city in the first-mover area to prevent changes in the city. Don't worry about new and old grudges?"

"In this way, what is the obvious learning?"

"Is it better to dismiss 'progress' than to label small farmers and craftsmen as a reactionary bunch?"

"Whether it is improvement or equalization of land, in the future, it will all come from the imperial court and the imperial decree, rather than being dominated by a school or a certain program."

"As for the factory owners and others, when they saw the fearful rebellion of small farmers and craftsmen, most of them also restrained themselves, knowing that if the court didn't cover them, they would be hung on trees. I have seen their weakness a long time ago, so what will happen then? Worried that they dare not be disobedient?"

"In a world of great controversy, factory owners need imperial navy, bayonets, and cannons to compete with factory owners from other countries. It is easy to obey. But now looking at the world, industrial owners from other countries who are invincible and incapable of competing, They are easily disobedient, and they need to use a group of people in the country to scare them and make them obedient. Let them know that without the emperor, they will not be able to control the situation at all, so that they can come down obediently and put away those Inflated mind."

"After this incident, the alliance between workers and farmers is no longer possible. Without the support of farmers, workers are alone and weak. If you don't rely on the emperor to control the factory owners, who will you rely on?"

"Hired workers are easy to buy. When a crisis breaks out, they advocate 'progress', that the inland market can make them live a better life, and that they crush the small farmers and craftsmen in the inland. Those who enter and then develop large-scale industries will go.”…

"Using this method, first break the alliance, divide and dissolve them, and first force the small peasants to the emperor's side; then cut off their allies, cut off their internal support, and isolate the hired workers. To the Emperor."

"If this is the case, just follow the story of the past: in the past, small farmers were protected and mergers were suppressed, but in fact they still ruled the world with literati, bureaucrats and landlords."

"It will be the same in the future. In name and righteousness, we will protect small farmers and hired workers. But in reality, we will still rule the world with the big bourgeois."

Li Yan didn't know what the scientific name of the set of things he was talking about was.

But in fact, to sum it up in the words of later generations, it is actually a reactionary feudal society that "takes three galas".

This is related to the situation of "dividing the inside and the outside" in Dashun.

Inside, there is a small-scale peasant society, which is quite similar to France, where small-scale peasants were generally impoverished and were about to collapse due to usury and land mortgages.

In addition, it is a society of plutocrats, military aristocrats and big bourgeoisie, just like Prussia in Lassalle.

The issue of small farmers, the so-called Great Eastward Movement, land equalization, and emigration can be regarded as a Dashun variant of Nasan's "On the Elimination of Poverty".

The employment problem, the so-called "As soon as the emperor transforms himself from a privileged imperial power into a social and 】

To a certain extent, this is the very bad aftereffect of Liu Yu's reforms on Dashun—the emperor was exposed to this set of things and ways of thinking about class earlier than hired workers and small farmers.

And itself, the Revolutionary Society, is the background color of the society after the overthrow of the hundred schools of thought.Wang Mang's restructuring is the social practice of a utopian reactionary society with such productivity levels as blast furnace iron, ridge method, and yield of [-] catties per mu.

Unfortunately, Liu Yu was already dead.

The so-called I annotate the Six Classics, and the Six Classics annotate me.

Liu Yu's set of words can easily be used by people with aspirations, especially to label small farmers and handicraftsmen as a reactionary gang that hinders historical progress; peasant uprisings are labeled as a reactionary gang based on the principle of real estate.

This set of things in itself can easily be turned into mechanical economic determinism.

Yin Rich also raged about this issue, saying that [workers cannot have a sense of community in the first place.This awareness can only be instilled from the outside.Otherwise, it can only form...] or trade unions, or labor unions—typically, the attitude of Irish railway workers towards Chinese workers, which has not been instilled and is extremely reactionary.

On Dashun's side, there is an even more painful problem of "the aristocratization of workers" that may arise from the "first powers".

For example, in the situation Li Yan said, when the crisis really comes, will the workers in the pioneering areas not care about the life and death of the small farmers and handicraftsmen in the inland at all, and will demand to open the money gate and abolish the inland land in order to have jobs and earn money for themselves? What about backward protection and market capture?

Obviously, some people deliberately confuse, indoctrinate with reactionary ideas, distort the concept of "progress", and coupled with related interests, it is indeed very easy to be misled.

And the situation in Dashun's mainland was extremely helpless.

Dashun obtained the two raw material origins of Nanyang and India; obtained the advantages of sea and water transportation; obtained the grain from Japan, North Korea, Nanyang and Northeast to stabilize the food price in the first-developing areas...

The mainland, such as the textile industry, cannot compete no matter what.This is inevitable.

Whether it is food prices, raw material prices, abundant capital, etc., they can’t compete with each other. The result of "physiocratism and natural order" will not flourish under competition at all, and it can only be the original handicraft industry in the mainland. It will go bankrupt quickly, and it is absolutely impossible to sprout and grow into a large factory.

Of course, you want to say that Dashun was beaten by someone, lost India, lost Nanyang, and shrank back to the mainland.It is possible to grow cotton in Jianghan, or if there is no other way but to grow cotton in Jianghan, then the Jianghan area can become the center of the textile industry.Otherwise, impossible.

As long as India and Southeast Asia are not lost, as long as land transportation is not as capable as sea transportation, even if the textile industry center is built in Jianghan area, it will have to go bankrupt. It's as simple as that.

Now the Jianghan area relies on the province and the Sichuan and Shu markets, and has developed on the basis of the opportunity of Sichuan salt entering Chu.The cotton yarn from India is still used. With the strength of Jianghan’s textile capital, if you really want to let it go, the big textile capital in the Songsu area can stretch out his little finger to stop him from getting up again—it doesn’t need to be dirty. For example, the control of dirty work such as cotton yarn in India, as far as market competition is concerned, Hubei’s food self-sufficiency is now a problem. How can a single food price compare with Songsubi, which has Nanyang rice, northeast sorghum and sea transportation?
It's still the same sentence: Imperialism in history not only disintegrated the small peasant economy and killed the handicraft industry; it also crushed the country's bourgeoisie.That's why it is said that they raise both their left and right hands.

But the situation is different now, there is no need for them to raise their right hand against imperialism at all.

Moreover, Dashun can't play tricks on the fragmented countries in Europe, and can only use the ideas of "Tianxia" and "Great Harmony" to solve it.Can a thing that has two-fifths of the world's population and more than half of the world's total industrial and agricultural production value be covered by the European concept of a country?
Now that it is said, the current problem of Dashun can only be solved by using the concept of "Great Harmony" that transcends fragmented small countries.

Then it means that it is too difficult to solve the problem of Dashun——Among the heroes from 840 to the next hundred years in history, some are for the nation, some are for fighting aggression, and some are for washing away humiliation, and some are for Anti-Manchu and anti-Yan Luoyao... These can stand together in the history of humiliation in the original history, at least they can walk on the same road for a while.

At this time, Dashun, who wanted the world to be in harmony, had no choice but to leave by himself, and even passers-by could not be found.

This also gave Li Yan a chance, a real possibility to find a chance to seize a chance in the deadlock of "the great way is fifty, the sky is fourty-nine, and the human way is one".

And this opportunity, in Li Yan's view, is what the envoys saw and heard on the way back with Liu Yu's bones-France is going to be chaotic, Europe is going to be chaotic, India is going to be chaotic, and in some cases, it seems that the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in South America may also If there is chaos, a major crisis of relative overproduction may erupt in the first-developed area of ​​Dashun.

And once the crisis breaks out, it seems that only the two to three billion people in the inner area of ​​Dashun will be left on the entire earth in a region that may carry such a large-scale overproduction.

This will break the original balance of Dashun's "expansion abroad to satisfy the gluttony of the emerging class, and to reach a compromise not to crush the small peasant economy internally". …

Of course it doesn't mean it can't be solved.

In fact, there is still a solution.

Not to mention the root cause.

Only talk about palliative treatment, or delay the outbreak of the crisis.

For example, the bourgeoisie paid money to immigrate, relocate, and use billions of acres of land in North America and Australia to create a large market of [-] million people.

But obviously, they definitely won't do it.

If people move there and the market exists, it is possible for them to reinvest and make money.

But it is impossible for them to spend money to emigrate, develop productivity and commodity exchange potential.

Li Yan also wanted to take advantage of this, and planned the reform of the imperial examination in advance, so that he could have talents from the inland areas in his hands at that time. This was his plan for a rainy day.

The bankruptcy of small farmers, the collapse of the handicraft industry, and the disintegration of the old urban exchange system are the real material world.

It will not be reversed because I originally studied Confucian classics and now I study arithmetic and geometry.

Nor will I become a conservative because I originally studied Confucian classics and saw the bankruptcy of small farmers and the collapse of handicrafts. I should not be so radical and become a conservative; Well, radicals all at once.

Including the real radicals among the current pioneering regional schools of thought, who want to equalize land, relocate people, expand the market, and turn the whole country’s rural areas from production of use value to production of exchange value. They are the radicals.And among this group of radicals, many are opposed to directly opening the money gate, thinking that food should be eaten one bite at a time, shit should be cut one at a time, and two steps forward and one step back, otherwise things will be reversed, which makes them seem Rather, they seem to be conservatives—for example, Liu Yu, who later went to build the Yellow River channel, can be regarded as this kind of conservatives.

And those who want to engage in radical physiocratism and natural order, and those who want to let go of money, seem radical, but in fact they are regarded as naive schools at all within the Real School, and they are not on the table.

Dashun itself has a tradition of emphasizing agriculture and despising business. Historically, as early as the Han Dynasty, commercial capital suffered uncontrollable losses. Proof that this is not capitalism at all.It doesn’t mean that there is commercial capital, or that it has suffered a big loss from commercial capital, which proves that this is the budding of capitalism. What Lao Ma said is very clear, commercial capital also existed in the slave era, and only commercial capital melts its own independence. It is called capitalism, commercial capital is parasitic, and the existence of commercial capital alone just proves that this is not capitalism.

Therefore, under this tradition, under the current situation, if the radical Physiocrats and Natural Order can become prominent schools, that would be a ghost story.

Li Yan is precisely trying to help these unworthy people to become "Xiaoxue" and replace them with yellow instead of white to kill the real radical Xianxue—since there must be Xianxue, why not support a Xianxue?

Because he is a Dashun person, he understands the principle that things must go against each other too well.

I have even read the story of "Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan", that is, through "false superstitious learning and clamoring, pretending to be helpless and going ahead with a province, the capital will inevitably make a shocking shock".

As a result, the "radical" lingering on Dashun's head since Liu Yu's escape ebbed. …

It is easy to say that Li Yan also did the "expansion and colonization" activities together with Liu Yu.

There is no control at all, what the capital has done in Nanyang, India, whether the capital will go to hoard land or develop industries, and what is the robbery system under the dominance of commercial capital, Li Yan is very clear.

This model of Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan will definitely play tricks under the conditions of Dashun's land transactions of railway steamships out of ten and thirteen out.If it takes only two years to force the people to rebel, it can only be said to be conservative.

As for industrial investment?Who is out of his mind not to invest in places where raw materials and shipping are dominant, such as first-mover areas, and go to the mainland to invest?

Therefore, industrial capital will not go at all, and only commercial capital will go. This thing can drive landlords into bankruptcy and invest in red.

And the whole process.

Li Yan didn't need to do anything.

Just do nothing.

If he survives till then.

As for the provinces that will be "scarecrows to scare the radicals", Li Yan has already made up his mind: Yuwan.

One of these two provinces is a province with a large population, and the other is a disaster-hit area of ​​the Huaihe River. The rapid impact and land occupation of commercial crops will cause a small disaster, and the problem of food shortage will appear quickly, and 10 people will be born. uprising.

Of course, others don't know what kind of place Henan is and how important it is, but Dashun Dynasty should know it best.

It's just that Liu Yujin said to the previous emperor that "the railway is vertical and horizontal, the Huanghuai River is divided, even if there is an uprising, it will be divided into pieces, the world is like a chess game, and the invaders cannot flow." It makes sense to be able to fool the old emperor, and it is also the reason why the railway was built and the Huanghuai River was ruled. Now it has become the background of Li Yan's scarecrow to scare people.

Li Yan wants to tie a scarecrow to scare people.

Take the begging bag at the bottom and wave it.

It is also necessary to change the imperial examination to show that he is a "progressive emperor".

As for what to do in the future, it is hard for Li Yan to say now.

Not to mention whether you can live until then.

Even if he survived, now he can only make a rough idea first, and then look at it.

He was afraid that he would die one day, so he wanted to tell his son about this lifeless, most disgusting and dark set of things.

The prince didn't think much of it, but was slightly worried.

"Father, in the past, the son of Wei, Zhou Xu, rose up in rebellion, mobilized troops, and expanded to divert conflicts, gain prestige, and suppress dissatisfaction."

"The Duke of Lu asked Zhongzhong, saying: "Is Zhou's call for it to be successful?" He said to him: "A husband's soldiers are like fire, but if you fight, you will burn yourself. In the end of the year, Shi Ke will kill his relatives righteously, just like Zhongzhong said."

"Father wants to take a chance in the chaos. If this fire is not managed well... I'm afraid..."

Li Yan didn't want to but laughed.

"This fire? Could it be that I set it off? What kind of ability do I have to set off such a fire?"

"This kind of fire cannot be 'manufactured', it is ignited according to the law that does not depend on someone's will."

"Could it be that I let those factory owners create overproduction?"

"Could it be that I have caused chaos in France soon?"

"After the chaos, they can't be sold. Could it be that I let them think about getting the mainland market?"

"If we want the inland market, if Henan and Shandong are loosened, is it because I let the capital buy land and occupy the land for mergers? Is it because I let the merchants transport the machine cloth to kill the native cloth in southern Henan and make it difficult for the female workers? It is because I let the landlord see the smoke. If the price of sesame is high and you don’t grow food, will there be a food shortage disaster?”…

"I didn't set the fire, I just didn't put it out in advance. The fire didn't start because of me, so why play with the theory of burning yourself with fire?"

"When there is a crisis, you don't say anything. Some people advocate the opening of the internal market control, and they regard progress as the righteousness. Follow it, why set fire?"

"And if you open it up, you asked them to do such things as land annexation, speculation on food prices, hoarding goods, buying low and selling high, attacking homemade cloth, and defrauding local chambers of commerce, etc.?"

"This kind of thing that does not change according to someone's will, no one can change it, let alone create it."

"But it can be exploited."

"Learn to use changes. That's why you need to learn about fairness and practice. If you don't understand, how can you prepare to use it?"

The prince frowned and said: "Since my father said so, the theory of Xing Gong has spread widely, and there are many people who know its righteousness. Could it be that they don't know how to use it?"

Li Yan smiled disdainfully, and asked back: "If Emperor Taizu started troubles in Hongwu and Yongle, would it be possible to achieve great things?"

"If Chen involved Wu Guang and started an incident while the First Emperor was still alive, would he be able to overthrow the Temple of Qin?"

"Great hunger, people cannibalize each other, there are many words in history. But how many people can raise the flag and conquer the world?"

"If you want to cut down the tree and uncover the pole to achieve great things, you need to starve the people to eat each other, so that the people can't live; you also need the court to collapse and be unable to rule. Without one of the two, neither can be achieved."

"The bloody crisis I mentioned is ten years in the near future, and twenty years in the long term. Thinking about it, it will definitely not be a mere ten years. I, the heroic soldier who fought from Japan to Gibraltar, will become a military household of the former dynasty, right? "

"Besides, the capital is no different than other places. The capital is a city based on taxation, rice, official salary, and military pay. It is not a production city for the purpose of exchanging and selling money. Therefore, the capital will not face the crisis of excess blood and fire. Chaos. If the capital is not chaotic and the navy is in hand, there will be no chaos in the taxation and rice; if there is no chaos in the taxation and rice, even if you are playing with fire, you can also put out the fire."

"The envoys came back from Europe and said that France's rituals and music will be broken, and there will be chaos. How can Paris be the same as the capital? French industry, business, gentry, gentry, etc. all live in Paris, and tens of thousands of people produce around the consumption of Paris. If When chaos arises, it will be difficult to control. The capital city is very different, and it is not easy to live in Kyoto. Cloth is obtained from pine, silk is obtained from Jiangsu, porcelain is obtained from Jiangxi, rice is obtained from Java, beans are obtained from Songliao, coal is obtained from Xishan, and tea is obtained from Wuyi , how will the plethora of chaos be imposed on the capital?"

"However, if we follow the example of Emperor Taizu and promote the righteousness of equalizing land and exempting grain...the country's birthday has not yet come, and the previous dynasty still has 260 years to live, and it is only the righteousness of equalizing land internally. It is too early to worry about it."

"As for the Xianxue faction... Most of them are limited by the old marks of Xingguogong, and they still want to seek the support of industrial capital, complete the land equalization, and then levy agricultural taxes and relocate. They think that industrial capital will support them, thinking that Aiding and wanting to get rid of landlords, this is a prominent learning, and this generation will not succeed."

"As for the few radicals who are determined to talk about the world for the common good? Do you guess that when a crisis breaks out in the future, will the hired workers support their idea of ​​the world for the common good? Or will they support the idea of ​​robbing the inland market, crushing small farmers and craftsmen to expand the market to survive the crisis?"

"You have to know, they talk about the world as a common cause, but when a crisis comes in the future, if the restrictions of the two provinces are broken, a large number of small farmers and craftsmen will go bankrupt and flood into the city to survive, which will lead to a sharp drop in the wages of the original hired workers. I will hate small farmers and craftsmen even more, and most of them will gang up to exclude those who later entered the city. In the past when I was at Songsu Wharf with Duke Xingguo, it was not uncommon for us to gang up and beat each other in order to fight against the contracted ship unloading work. Let’s settle this matter and talk about serving the world.”
