Chapter 258: Social Experiments
"It's your science again."
Since these days, Li Xiangjun's life can be said to be getting better and better.
As a girl who "married" in Suzhou, she actually brought back a real golden beetle son-in-law, no matter how tortuous the process was, there was no official gentry in Suzhou who did not stammer.
It's okay to eat, don't accept gifts, pull relationships, don't worship sisters.
With the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the bell tower, Suzhou at that time can be said to be full of crowns, even the prefect, as well as a number of so-called bureaucrats in the township, also jumped out, hoping to make friends or something.
But in any case, what Li Xiangjun took the opportunity to enjoy was not material, but completely spiritual.
Of course, even in the south, Li Xiangqian is just as busy.
Li Xiangqian said: "Something happened recently, well, we got a group of people to an island, I want to see how these people will react, we got another group of people ashore, but whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, we need to see again." ”
"Who got to the island, and who got ashore?"
"The people who came to the island were some people who broke the law and discipline, I want to see if the survival of these people and whether it is possible to organize themselves on their own, and the other group of people is much more miserable, they were originally bullied and abused in the Ming Dynasty, and they have never been able to even go to the shore, this kind of anti-human rights thing, we ......"
Li Xiangqian also has to be cheeky in the end, he found that he was doing something that crossed the bottom line a little, while flaunting himself as human rights, Rao is his cheekiness can block the blow of the Vulcan cannon, and he can't say it anymore.
"You mean?"
"The Tan people in the Liangguang area."
The so-called Tan people, refers to the traditional life of their lifelong drift on the water, with boats as their home, the Chinese ethnic group identifies them as part of the Han nationality, with the Mindong Fuzhou dialect as their mother tongue, but different from the local Fuzhou ethnic group, there are many unique customs, is a relatively independent ethnic group.
Of course, there are always many legends about the origin of the Tan people, and the elders have never been able to inquire about it.
However, these Tan people always live at sea all year round, and only a few times do they go ashore to trade with people.
This is to see the elders in their hearts, first, these guys who talk about exterminating this and slaughtering that every day are still a group of "white prostitutes", that is to say, they are still ruthless, watching such a group with a population of tens of thousands being bullied, and at the same time, they can also see that even if there are not too many people who are willing to be in the navy because of their personal wishes and abilities, they can at least become the vanguard of maintaining the maritime order of the Council of Elders.
Again, the focus is on operation.
The reason why these Tan people have never been able to land is that the policy path dependence of historical reasons, that is, the cost of change is too high, and there is also discrimination from people on the shore.
But none of this is a matter for the hard-hearted elders.
No matter how inhumane it is, is there a broken circle of influence in China in later generations, and Chinese will be played with as piglets, or even experimented?
The officials who block it can be cleaned, and the land along the coast can be allocated, as for the leaders of the Tan people......
Remember, in the Presbyterian Church, the greatest sin is to hinder the progress of productivity, which is an unforgivable, stripping of bones and capital offense.
“…… The eastern Yanhu of Guangdong takes the boat as their home, fishing as their business, and the people of Guangdong regard them as lowly and lowly people, and they are not allowed to live in the boat, which is very pitiful. The author of Si Xiaozhi allowed him to live ashore, and together with the Qi people, he was blessed with a unique household, and he was not allowed to be bullied and expelled, and civil and military officials, large and small, who took the opportunity to extort and treat them differently, were to be passed on to the states! ”
Of course, Guangdong itself is a province with a large population, and the coastal areas are highly developed, and the so-called landing is an absolute order requiring them not to discriminate against the Tan people and extend their households.
It is still very easy to find a homestead in Vietnam, of course, it is very troublesome to arrange tens of thousands of people, and you have to care about their food, salt, and medicine sources, and these Tan people have been self-contained before, and they have just died a lot of usually kind leaders, so it takes some energy.
Fortunately, whether it is Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province or Guangnan Province, they are all circles with similar cultures, and although the economic complementarity is not as strict as in later generations, it is already good in the period of small peasant economy.
Of course, bumps and bumps are inevitable, and there may not be no bad people among the Tan people, and not everyone wants to help these poor people.
In short, it was only a matter of time before the Tan people integrated into Middle-earth.
Li Xiangqian traveled back and forth to several prosperous cities in the south of the Yangtze River and discovered several facts: First, the most ordinary people here have a low will to resist, and in themselves, the lives of the people here are difficult enough, and it is difficult to have any strength to burn up the struggle.
Of course, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen here is also admirable, and he gradually understood what is called "craftsman spirit", the so-called craftsman spirit, isn't it the solidification of the class, the locking of scientific and technological progress, so the spiritual head is used in useless all kinds of horns and horns?
Some craftsmen can carve all kinds of small and vivid human figures from silverware, while others can make all kinds of wood carvings, and many of them even have the taste of industrial workers, as long as they pass through once...... bankruptcy and training.
Of course, ideologically, they are too influenced by the Donglin Party, and they are also economically suppressed.
Of course, from the original history, in fact, Jiangnan's will to resist the Manchus was not strong.
Anyway, it's not Li Zicheng's mud legs who commit rebellion, in addition to robbery, the Eight Banners still pay attention to winning over traitor merchants and traitor Confucian students, Fan Wencheng can't wait to hang the jewelry looted from the Han land to show everyone how much wealth he has gained by selling himself as a traitor.
Therefore, in any case, people are a contradiction between landlords and landlords.
Of course, in the later period, people found that these big landlords in Jiangnan were incompetent and rich, so there were many more tragedies.
Li Xiangqian is in some kind of consideration, giving up the fanfare of the idea of directly running a university in Shanghai, at present, the faculty is the shortcoming of the short board, but crazy with a variety of flagship stores, commercial offensive, among which a variety of books and new enjoyment, as well as phosphate and potash fertilizers and other fertilizers are the main products.
This is not only a business, but also politics, the elders hope to find and support small and medium-sized enterprises or small businessmen, and use the tactics of ants to develop business, rather than being monopolized by one or a few large businessmen.
There are many reasons for this, first of all, once their own product sales channels are monopolized, then in an instant, the bargaining power is lost, and the initiative is not in hand, and secondly, even if they and others give the power of the general agent, it seems that they can not get any gratitude, and even in order to continue this agency, then blocking the road to reunification has become a certain necessity.
Although small and medium-sized businessmen may not be much better, at least there is some hope that they are not.
Secondly, after three years of training, the Republic of Tongbao is popular in Jiangnan with its stable currency value and difficult imitation, which is already a circulating currency, not that it can't make a silver dollar that can fool the people of Jiangnan, anyway, the ratio is there, are the people in Jiangnan stupid? The real question is......
In the legends of later generations, there is such a story: there are three men who made counterfeit money together, in order to avoid being discovered, they bought equipment, learned technology, did not fake 100 yuan bills, but counterfeited 1 yuan coins, invested 180,000 yuan cost, only made more than 160,000 coins, lost nearly 20,000 yuan, and of course, also earned three fixed-term prison notices......
This shows that coinage is often a loss-making company.
Li Xiangqian bets that none of these big families in Jiangnan are not coveted and secretly tinkering with coinage technology, but they can't even pass their own level, after all, the high efficiency brought by modern stamping machines is not something that can be resisted by manpower, no matter how good your craftsmanship is, my machine here works 24 hours a day, and it can also anger you.
At present, the most hostile people in the Jiangnan area are not the high-level bureaucrats, but the middle- and lower-class scholars.
This question is very interesting and easy to understand, it is not realistic for you to let the eunuchs left behind in Nanjing, or the Shangshu of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, who are dozens of years old, to charge into battle as targets.
Especially for the children and talents who are mainly forty or fifty, as the defeated dogs of the imperial examination, they are first characterized by poverty, then stupidity, and finally, poverty and stupidity accumulate an anger.
Poor, although it is stronger than ordinary civilians, but poor and sour, that is what it means, you are poor, which means that the high-level Confucianism will drive you away like a dog at all, like a Confucian like Qian Qianyi, who prefers the son of a pirate like Damu, if you are rich, you can't get good imperial examination books, and you don't even have money to buy exam questions and buy examiners.
Secondly, stupid is easy to understand, that is, an eight-strand article, if the elders are allowed to pass through the soul and study for decades, they should also achieve something, at least it is impossible to show talent every day.
After a long time, the probability of such people being radical is much higher than that of other groups, and it is obvious that if they were clever, they would have found a way to transform, but for them, it is difficult to transform.
Especially some scholars who returned from the north, they brought back some exam questions, and the new imperial examination has been very friendly to these scholars, after all, there is no modern scientific knowledge, there are no too difficult problems, as long as the foundation is not too bad, there is still a chance to learn well.
However, especially for the elderly, it is even more difficult for them to learn a style and a way of thinking again, similar to Hou Fangyu and others, they all discovered a fact.
If it is really like a rumor, the elders say that the Eight Strands of Literature are useless, and that the examination and practice test are extremely evil when they hear it, and they have no knowledge of the way of the saints at all, then they will have no hope in this life.
It's easy to understand, teenage children, although they also find it difficult, but in the end they are all the same knowledge, but the amount of reading is expanded, in fact, it is much simpler in theory than the eight-strand text that chews the words.
But the older ones are like the donkey with carrots hanging in front of them all their lives, pinning the hope of life on such dregs, after Fan Jin lifted the middle lift, he was crazy with joy, and there were not a few people who fainted and went crazy after the middle lift.
People can always blame others for their problems.
Later generations of people have doctrines, that is, the collective unconscious, some people do not need to communicate, do not need to discuss, themselves exist in the consciousness of quite a lot of groups, in later generations, a company that is doing very well, suddenly the stock price plummets, many times there are people who follow the trend frantically, and also throw away, in fact, nothing happens.
It's surrounded by a group of people, and the people outside want to go in and have a look, but inside it's just a male dog slapping a female dog.
This is also normal, any exam that has done a line of strategy questions and found that they can't adapt to this kind of difficult problem at all, in fact, is very simple to understand, the elders have not thought about being embarrassed, the real difficulty is that to complete the exam questions within an hour, which means that extremely fast thinking speed is required, and this aspect is what the great Ming scholar lacks.
This is as high as a mountain, and at the same time, under the bottomless water, there are countless groups with hidden strength, and it is impossible to reason with them.
Li Xiangqian has refused the bargaining of countless people, and many dicks have collectively petitioned and protested, even if the two sides are still in a quasi-war state at this time.
He's always looking for opportunities, and in fact, they're slowly popping up.
The key problem is Nanming's official money problem.
At present, the elders have the largest demand for goods in the Jiangnan area, which is generally a variety of bulk commodities, rice, porcelain, silk, etc., when purchasing, they are very generous and directly give silver, and the later period is the Republic Tongbao, and what they sell is only used to trade with the Republic Tongbao.
In this way, no one will make irresponsible remarks, and at the same time, for various reasons, Jiangnan has a high acceptance of the Republic Tongbao.
At the same time, Chongzhen Tongbao began to be a little unsellable.
First of all, politically, the emperor has been dead for four years, and he still can't elect a new emperor, after all, whoever dares to show interest in the dragon chair will be directly visited by the elders, shouting and asking for warmth, directly pointing out how many concubines the prince has, which concubine's room he rested in last night, what kind of fancy the concubine wore in the belly pocket, and what position he used to snap a few times......
In this case, it is naturally a bad thing.
Similarly, with the confusion of power, the Nanjing coinage unit also began to be doped with lead and iron with the acquiescence of some lords and eunuchs, and the copper content became lower and lower.
