Chapter 41: Dedication and Speculation (18)
"Again, you have only seen merchants, and when you talk about trading, you think of merchants. Industrial countries and businessmen are two different things, industrial countries are the whole society has to be included in the social transaction system, this is not everyone in the whole society to do business! Wei Ze explained sternly on stage.
Some of the people attending the party class below were thoughtful, and some were at a loss. This lesson made everyone's eyes shine, because Weser did explain a lot of things that everyone didn't understand at all. For example, why the people of Guangxi are more brave and good at fighting than the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is very simple, the environment in Guangxi is harsh, and the productivity is not up to it. If we cannot defend the existing means of production by force and constantly expand our own means of production, we will not be able to live our lives. The so-called level of productive forces determines the relations of production, this is a very clear thing. Comrades have traveled from south to north, visited too many places, and seen too many terrains, people, and customs. A "productivity" can explain this qiē.
As for the division of land among the local tyrants, as outsiders, the members were basically peasants and small producers, and after the Liberation Army had eliminated the open opponents of the local people in various places, it had already begun to confiscate the property of those guys. The peasants were given land and began to operate in a cooperative model, a situation that the small producers expected. The rebellion is to have no worries about food and clothing after the rebellion is successful, and most people are very supportive of this, even if a small number of people do not necessarily support it, they do not dare to openly oppose it.
However, the comrades could understand what they had seen, but they really could not imagine an unknown future world based on the unknown things described by Wesser. For example, the semi-realistic existence of zài's "social transaction" makes everyone completely lose their concept. This is a new world that relies entirely on money to sell the necessities of life, which is very different from the self-sufficient small-scale peasant society to which everyone is accustomed. For farmers, buying everything is a way of life that only a loser will adopt. The orthodox and accepted mainstream way of life of the small-scale peasant society is to produce it yourself, and only a few things are bought back. If it weren't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty's collection of taxes and only silver, everyone would not have bought anything at all.
However, the governor of Wezewe, who was admired by everyone, put forward such a prophecy with a clear attitude. People don't know whether to believe it or not. Seeing Wei Ze shouting so exhausted, everyone didn't want to question it anymore, but fell silent. Shen Xin's family is this way of life, living on a small amount of principal, and buying everything. Although he didn't quite understand Weese's prediction, he didn't think that such a thing was impossible. He also didn't want Wei Ze to continue to waste his tongue on this matter, so he raised his hand and asked, "Wei Dudu, when will such an era appear?" ”
Wei Ze replied crisply: "According to my arrangement, some people will enter such an era in three years." Ten years at most, the whole of Liangguang will be forced to start entering such a society. If you promote the industrial exhibition according to the plan, you will be able to experience this era at the earliest. A few days ago, the American and British ironworks technicians had arrived in Guangdong, and I had already sent people to Shaoguan to start building an ironworks, and in a few months, perhaps the ironworks would be able to start initial production. In a year or two, when we can start producing cast iron, you will be able to see for yourself what industrialization is. ”
Shen Xin got a clear answer, saying that he had no problem and sat down. When everyone in the party school didn't know what to say, Wei Ze beckoned, "Comrade Pang Congcong, what's your problem?" ”
Pang Congcong was the only woman in the meeting, she was a native of Wuchang, and after the Taiping army conquered Wuchang, she was coerced to Tianjing City. Tianjing City was short of food, so the old and weak women and children were sent out of the city and let them "eat on their own". Pang Congcong had no choice but to walk back to Wuchang. Stopped by Wei Ze's troops opposite Anqing, Pang Congcong was hungry at that time, so he asked to join Wei Ze's troops. She was first assigned to the military uniform factory in logistics, then studied well, and was sent back to the military uniform factory after full-time training, and was known for her ability to arrange work reasonably. The production efficiency of the workshop she led was much higher than that of other workshops, and she was later recommended to study at the military academy for "military merits". She didn't talk much in the class, so she actually asked a question at this time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Pang Congcong is not tall, has a round baby face, and looks like a cute boy. She didn't care about the eyes that gathered around her, she just stared at Wei Ze and asked, "Wei Dudu, you have been using landmark events to tell about the nodes of social change in class, so what will be the most recent landmark event in this industrialized society that you are talking about?" ”
This question was obviously right to Wei Ze's appetite, and his expression relaxed, "I have to explain first that there are two kinds of landmark events, one is purposefully and proactively, and the other is the big situation that has been formed since then. What we want to do is the former, which is to actively promote these changes. There will probably be three landmark events in Guangdong in the near future, the first is that the raw silk production system has gradually absorbed all the raw silk producers in the Pearl River Delta. The second is that all farmers can buy iron farming tools at very cheap prices. Thirdly, it is the steam mills we invested in that have brought all the mills in the Pearl River Delta to the point of bankruptcy. There will definitely be people who are not comfortable with this change. There will definitely be people who complain and even want to resist desperately. But both we, the people who are driving this, and the people we work with, will make money from it, and we will all have to rely on the benefits of these changes. ”
A considerable number of the participants began to grin after listening to Wei Ze's words, these three landmark events sounded really unreliable. Because in order to achieve this, it is necessary to put the whole of Guangdong under the absolute control of the Guangfu Governorate, and the Guangfu army is only a few people, even if the army is expanded to 100,000 people, it is impossible to manage the place so effectively. Not to mention iron farming tools, it can also be sold locally by long-distance transportation. Whether it's raw silk or a mill, someone has to be stationed there. And what Wei Ze said is clear, the Governor's Mansion has not only done this, but also made money. No matter how you look at it, this is unrealistic. Shen Xin also felt that Wei Ze's words were too marginal, but he didn't want to say anything frustrating now. So Shen Xin stared at Pang Congcong, wanting to see what this female Restoration Association member would say next.
"So what are we going to do, and how are we going to do it, to get there?" Pang Congcong asked.
"This ...... That's too talkative! After hearing this, Shen Xin couldn't help but praise it in his heart. Pang Congcong's words are actually the attitude that Wei Ze wants everyone to express, telling everyone so many things, and describing a magical and ridiculous future to everyone. Weese's purpose was to make everyone believe in him and unswervingly carry out Weesser's orders.
After seeing the weapons of the Guangfu Army and training, Shen Xin was completely sure that Wei Ze was not a god like Hong Xiuquan Hong Tianwang, and he would take the lead in doing what he promised. Although these things are so puzzling now, I can't guarantee that they will actually become a reality as Weeser said!
So Shen Xin couldn't help but raise his hand, and seeing Wei Ze motioning for himself to get up and speak, Shen Xin stood up, "Wei Dudu, I am willing to follow you, and I am willing to follow the path you have set." Now you point out a path and let's go. As long as you give the order, no matter how difficult it is, we can stick to it. But please be sure to explain what to do, and let me think, I really can't figure it out! ”
The words of impassioned generosity are clear, and the request is equally clear. Shen Xin said that he was convinced and obeyed, but Wei Ze didn't expect Shen Xin to be able to carve out a path on his own. Shen Xin could faithfully carry out Wei Ze's orders, but it was impossible to find a way to implement them according to the theory Wei Ze said.
However, Shen Xin believed that this was the purpose that Wei Zekai was looking forward to at this meeting. Even if it was pitch black in front of them, everyone could bury their heads and walk with Wei Ze and walk to their destination.
All of you here are smart people, and they are all good guys. Pang Congcong and Shen Xin took the lead, and everyone else raised their hands. Seeing that there were too many people raising their hands, everyone simply got up and said, "I would like to follow Victor!" "Wherever Wei Dudu points out, we will fight!"
Weeser did not expect these people to really understand industrial society now, all he expected was that these comrades would be able to persevere unconditionally until they saw tangible results. To build an industrial system, it takes a lot of hard work, and more importantly, a kind of perseverance. According to Weizer's survey, the gap between China and the world at this time was relatively limited. Even after the First Yapian War, the British traded very little except for the big tobacco. Even with the addition of the big tobacco trade, Britain still buys more from China and sells less to China.
This situation means that Weeser has too many industries to intervene in, and can make a lot of money through very poor industrial capacity. From the point of view of a political leader, Wei Ze was coldly convinced that it would be impossible for his subordinates to reach the level of a warrior in the short term. The fact that these people can not rebel in their lives shows that they are extremely conscious guys.
However, Weeser did not despair because of this. Pushing China into the industrial age and making China the world's top industrial nation is a revolution in itself. It's a revolution that turns the world upside down!
At this time, what Wei Ze needs is for everyone to be able to follow him first, just this seemingly simple request!
"Strengthen discipline, the revolution is invincible!" Weeser wrote this sentence on the blackboard, "The next thing we want to talk about is our organizational structure, and this structure must be democratic centralism!" ”
