Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

"Sometimes contradiction and unity are not opposites but you are in me, and I am in your complex mixture. For the society that the Chinese Order wishes to establish, you can consider it as a hierarchical society, or you can consider it as an open and fair society! "

"The essence of the Chinese Order, the end result he wanted was not to create a group of nobles to enjoy privileges and be superior to others! The title is just a result, and the process of pursuing the title is the real goal of the Chinese Order! "

"Throughout the history of mankind, all civilizations of all nations have advocated the virtues of sacrifice, dedication, courage, integrity, diligence, perseverance... "However, all the races do not have an effective system to motivate their people!"

"The current aristocracy of humanity is still a rank privilege gained through blood ties or military exploits during the Middle Ancient Era. People worked hard to get their hands on the Nobility, and then they would try to use all means possible to firmly protect that identity, even if it would be at the expense of their trip!"

"On the surface, the existence of the lower classes can motivate the lower classes to work hard to rise up, but the reality is the exact opposite. The current aristocrats will try their best to prevent the emergence of the new aristocrats, and the path to rise up looks smooth, but in fact, countless traps have already been dug out!"

"Why did the Chinese people force the third generation to decline? Moreover, this was the fundamental constitution of the Chinese nation that could not be changed! Don't even think about challenging this rule. If you don't want to accept, you can reject the offer to become a member of the Chinese clan. But, as long as you have sworn an oath to the Chinese clan order, you can forget about defying the rules! "

"I have also reiterated that the privileges of nobility are just to reward you for your achievements, not your bloodline. Humans are not animals, so they don't need valuable bloodlines!"

"Since ancient times, Asia has been influenced by the Confucian culture. The society's classification of the people is based on the traditional method of farming and civilization, namely the four people of industry and commerce!"

"Please don't forget that this system only applies to farming and civilization. Our society has already entered the era of global wealth circulation and technology explosion. We Chinese must keep pace with the times!"

Xiao Letian looked at everyone and said sincerely: "I did not list the profession of farmer separately, and do not say that the farmers are unimportant. I did not separate out the scholars, and also did not say that we want to abolish their role, no …"

"The essence of the Chinese Order is freedom! "The identity of a professional, a military, or a scientist is not locked down. You are a farmer today, but you may be a soldier tomorrow. After you retire from the military, you may even become a basic official of the government!"

"Then which council should you lock in? Is it the Military Council or the Civil Council? "

"Actually, the fact that you raised this question proves that your hearts are still stuck in the traditional society! Scholars came first in the industry and commerce, while farmers came second, and merchants came with the least status! None of you have realized that everyone in the Chinese family is free. They can freely choose their own identities as long as they work hard enough! "

The crowd began to whisper, and many of them had a trace of understanding on their faces.

Xiao Letian then started to talk about the feudal society's history, "Why did the Confucians propose the concept of farmers and workers, for what purpose did they come up with the level of the four citizens? "In fact, in the end, you just want to seal off the freedom of movement of others!"

"With a strict household registration system, the four citizens of industry, industry, and industry have their own responsibilities. Coupled with the information being sealed off, this has put the entire society in a semi-rigid state … The son of a farmer will always be a farmer, and the son of a craftsman will always be a craftsman.

"This kind of rigid and sealed off social structure is beneficial to the governing class! Because it was frozen, because the population was locked on to the ground, the governance the people in the feudal dynasty had towards the people was more like a prison game! "

"Actually, everyone, look at the current social structure of the Ryukyu. You all will understand why I did not set up a peasant council or a worker council! Do you guys think that there are still farmers in the Tanggu? "

The question stunned everyone present, especially those distinguished guests who had come from the Qing Dynasty. They were even more confused.

Xiao Letian spread open his hands and shook his head, "There have been no meaningful farmers in Ryukyu and the Tanggu for a long time. Who do the farms outside the city belong to?"

"There are farmers, landlords, rich and powerful family businesses, and even manors built by the big business owners themselves!" Other than the fact that these people are farmers, can any of them still be farmers? "

"Luo Huo, tell me, do you have a hundred mu of sugar cane field and five hundred mu of marine fishery in the Northern Mountain? Do you still have two farms in Tanggu? "So you're a farmer, too?"

"And you …" My Boss Mi, you are currently the biggest grain merchant in the Ryukyu, you own over a thousand acres of land outside the city, and you even have a large number of farms in Nan Yang.

Boss Mi did not expect the Prime Minister to order his name. He was so excited that he quickly waved his hand, "I don't know …" The Prime Minister says that I am what I am, and I am what I am! "

Hahaha … Everyone present laughed, they all understood what Xiao Letian meant.

The past is gone, everyone in this new world is free, no one can restrict the movement of other people's careers, today is a farmer, tomorrow may be a soldier, an official or even a scientist.

More importantly, the financial capital had already started annexing the land, the primitive farmers had all disappeared in the tide of mercantilism, and most of all, the mega-merchant s and officials who possessed wealth and resources had started annexing the land.

The farmers that could be seen working in the fields were actually not what they used to be, their actual identity being the workers. Today they would help your family grow sugar cane, tomorrow they would go to the fishing grounds to fish abalone, the day after that they would be able to move goods on the docks, and at night they might even be able to attend a night school or something like that.

The traditional profession of being a farmer had already begun to die out!

But what surprised the Scholars was that such a cruel land annexation of the Ryukyu and the Tanggu did not result in any kind of discontent or discontent.

In fact, the analysis is also very simple, because other industries are flourishing, the lower class people can be through a variety of jobs to get higher income.

Coupled with the continuous compulsory education and the emergence of skilled workers, the traditional farmers, mainly their descendants, have undergone a major change in attitude.

The children of the indigenous peasants no longer yearned for the land. They yearned for the uniforms of the New Army, the school uniforms of the Yang Academy, and the oily work clothes of the factories!

The times had changed, and the old ideas were no longer viable!

Xiao Letian's superficial explanation made everyone come to a realization, only the guests from the Da Qing Empire were still at a loss as to what to do.

"This is the main reason why I merged farmers and common workers into the Public Council. The reason why I didn't set up the Scholar's Council is pretty much the same …"
