Volume VIII 1080 On Peasants and Workers!

Next chapter

"Sometimes contradiction and unity are not opposites, but a complex mixture of you and me, and I and you. You can think of it as a hierarchical society, and you can think of it as an open and fair society!"

"The essence of the Chinese Order, the final result he wants is not to get a group of nobles out to enjoy the privileges and go to the superior rank! The title is just a result, and this process of pursuing the title is the real purpose of the Hua Clan Order!"

"Throughout human history, all peoples and civilizations have admired all kinds of virtues, sacrifice, dedication, bravery, integrity, industriousness, and tenacity...... But admiration is admiration, and all nations do not have a system of incentives that are effective for virtue!"

"The current aristocracy of mankind is still the hierarchical privilege obtained by blood or military merit in the Middle Ages, people work hard to obtain the status of nobility, and then they will try their best to firmly guard that identity, even if they do evil for it!"

"That kind of aristocracy is rotten and rigid, on the surface it seems that the existence of the class can inspire the lower classes of the people to rise up, but in fact the opposite is true, the current aristocracy will definitely do their best to prevent the emergence of new nobles, and the road to rise seems to be smooth, but in fact countless traps have already been dug up!"

"Why should the Chinese order be forcibly reduced by three generations? Moreover, this is the fundamental constitution of the Chinese state, and it absolutely cannot be changed! You should not have the luxury of challenging this article, if you are not willing to accept it, you can refuse to apply to become a member of the Chinese nationality, but as long as you have sworn an oath to the Chinese nationality order, then do not think about yin and yang and make ghosts out of it!"

"It's still what I've been repeating, aristocratic privileges are just rewarding your merits, not your bloodline, people are not beasts, and they don't need noble bloodlines!"

"Asia has been influenced by Confucian culture since ancient times, and the classification of people in society is generally based on the traditional classification method of agricultural civilization, that is, the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce!"

"Please don't forget that this system is only applicable to agricultural civilization, and now human society has already entered the era of global wealth circulation and technological explosion, and we Chinese must keep pace with the times!"

Xiao Letian looked at everyone and said sincerely, "I didn't list the profession of peasants separately, it's not that farmers are not important, I didn't separate the scholars and officials, and I didn't say that we want to abolish the role of officials, no......"

"The essence of the Chinese order is freedom! The so-called identities of farmers, businessmen, soldiers, and scientists are not locked, but free flow; today you are a farmer, but tomorrow you may be a soldier, and after you retire from the army, you may be able to become a grassroots official of the government!"

"Which council should you be locked in, then?

"In fact, if you ask this kind of question, it proves that your hearts are still stuck in the traditional hierarchical society of the past, and you can't extricate yourself! Scholars are the first, farmers are second, and businessmen have the least status! You don't realize that everyone in the Chinese community is free, and they can freely choose their own identity, as long as they work hard enough!"

The crowd began to whisper, and many people had a hint of realization on their faces.

Xiao Letian then began to break the old bottom of feudal society: "Why did Confucianism put forward the concept of peasants and workers, and what was the purpose of their hierarchy of the four people? In fact, in the final analysis, they wanted to block the free mobility of people!"

"The strict household registration system, the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce have their own responsibilities and rights, coupled with the closure of information, this makes the whole society in a semi-rigid state...... The son of a farmer will always be a farmer, the son of a craftsman will always be a craftsman, and people will have few opportunities to change their fate!"

"This kind of rigid and closed social structure is conducive to the ruling class managing the people! Because of rigidity, because the population is locked in the land, the feudal dynasty's governance of the people is more like a prison game with the ground as a prison!"

"Actually, if you look at the current social structure of Ryukyu and Tanggu, you can understand why I don't set up a peasant council or a labor council! Do you think there are still peasants in the real sense of the word in Tanggu and Ryukyu today?"

One sentence asked all the people present, especially those VIPs who came from the Qing Dynasty to watch the ceremony, and they couldn't understand it like idiots.

Xiao Lotian spread his hands and shook his head, "Ryukyu and Tanggu have long been farmers who have no real meaning, who do those farms outside the city belong to now?"

"There are yeoman farmers, there are landlords, there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the family industry, and there are even the estates established by the bosses of the major business houses!

"Luo Huo, tell me, do you have 100 acres of sugarcane fields and 500 acres of marine fishing grounds in Beishan? Do you still have two farms in Tanggu?

"And you...... Our rice boss, you are now the largest grain merchant in the Ryukyus, you own thousands of acres of land outside the city, and even a large number of farms in Nanyang, should I put you in the merchant council or the so-called peasant council?"

Boss Mi didn't expect the prime minister to call his name, so he hurriedly waved his hand excitedly, "I don't know...... The prime minister said that what I am, I am what I am!"

Hahaha...... Everyone present laughed, and at this moment they all understood what Xiao Lotian meant.

Gone are the days of the past, in a new world where everyone is free, and no one can restrict the professional mobility of others, today as a farmer, tomorrow as a soldier, as an official or even as a scientist.

More importantly, money capital has begun to annex land, primitive yeoman farmers have disappeared in the tide of mercantilism, and more often these wealthy merchants and officials have begun to annex land.

The farmers who can be seen now working in the fields are not actually farmers in the sense of the past, their actual identity is that they are migrant workers, helping your family grow sugarcane today, going to the fishing ground tomorrow to catch abalone, and the day after tomorrow you can go to the dock to carry goods, and maybe you can go to a night school literacy class or something at night.

The traditional profession of the peasant has begun to die out!

But to the surprise of the Confucian scholars of the Qing Dynasty, such a cruel land annexation of Ryukyu and Tanggu did not break out without civil unrest and any dissatisfaction.

In fact, it is very simple to analyze, because other industries have developed vigorously, and low-level people can get a higher income through a variety of jobs.

Coupled with the continuous compulsory education and the emergence of skilled jobs, the mentality of those traditional farmers, mainly their descendants, has changed significantly.

The children of the indigenous peasants no longer cherish the land, they yearn for the military uniforms of the new army, the school uniforms in the foreign school, and the oil-stained work clothes in the factory!

Times have changed, and old ideas have long since become unworkable!

Xiao Letian's in-depth explanation made people suddenly realize, only those guests from the Qing Dynasty were still confused and at a loss.

"That's the fundamental reason why I incorporated the peasants and ordinary workers into the citizens' council, and the reason why I didn't set up the scholars' council is actually the same...... "Mobile phone users visit wènhttp://mnet
