Chapter 381: Kong Xingxie
With the emergence of a large number of man-made burghers in the imperial capital, even if there is a lack of foundation, even if there is a lack of training, it is also a large market, a large number of cheap products enter the people, and there is no phenomenon that the elders are worried about in the early days of bad money driving out good money, that is, the landlord old wealth hides the silver dollar in his hand and only spends all kinds of inferior currency, and people accept this silver dollar at an astonishing speed, and its value may be a little lost, But silver dollars made with modern coinage machines are wear-resistant and beautiful, and those who used to make a living by minting coins privately immediately hit the streets. ,
Regardless of whether the silver dollar was recognized because it could indeed buy a large number of goods, or whether the people followed the principle of political legitimacy brought about by the transition between the old and new courts, the silver dollar was indeed recognized.
Out of the barrel of the gun comes the regime, out of the barrel of the gun comes out of the money, in the barrel of the gun...... Out of the nobility.
Later generations of China understood the symbol of aristocracy too poorly, and only thought that it was the children of the Eight Banners who just enjoyed the aristocracy, completely forgetting that in the Han and Tang dynasties, and even as far away as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the price of the nobles to accept the abundant food and clothing was always to die in the front, just like the party members during the Great Revolution charged into battle, that was the price.
And in the modern era, the so-called aristocracy stinks so much that it stinks, basically shouting, I am Confucius...... The descendants of all kinds of children, you untouchable descendants still kneel and lick? A certain family that eats and worships all its life and becomes traitors when there is something to do, after mixing China into a mess, returns to China several decades later, but because it is not a central-level official who receives him, but only a small cadre at the provincial level, and even refuses to offer it to his high-ranking officials to enjoy, they scold the Chinese for being uneducated and not knowing how to respect him, a descendant of Confucius.
This is a misunderstanding, how much to enjoy is talking, how many things have to be done first.
Kong Xingxie was a little impatient, his father was in his sixties, his health was not good, and he was about to take over the position of Yan Shenggong soon, but, as the eldest son, he couldn't understand the changes in the imperial capital, at least the officials were constantly playing haha with him, those elders saw him, and they were also lack of interest, and they couldn't get any permission, and the most jaw-dropping thing is the judicial power it gets, that is, the Confucian family controls a lot of power around Qufu.
They all have the right to summon, arrest, and punish their subordinates, craftsmen, temples, tenants, and members of the Kong clan. The Confucian government stipulates that all lawsuits involving people belonging to the internal official nationality must first be tried by the Yansheng Mansion itself, or cut off, or transferred to the magistrate, otherwise it is "transgression" and must be convicted accordingly.
But this idea is getting slimmer and slimmer, and no matter how he makes a wish, no one is willing to give him a guarantee.
Obviously, he has found all kinds of masters, all kinds of literary styles, and has written all kinds of sensual words, singing praises for the heavenly saints and elders in the imperial capital, and his shamelessness can already be compared to those traitor ancestors in history, but when these elders who don't understand literature and ink see it, they just snort haha, and refuse to give all kinds of preferential treatment at all, but instead run to Qufu to more and more untouchables, seducing the local villagers to run outside.
At least after the autumn harvest this year, I originally watched the imperial capital announce that it would not collect agricultural taxes, and planned to collect a handful of agricultural taxes ruthlessly, and take the opportunity to buy more fresh products produced in the imperial capital, but it is becoming more and more difficult to collect taxes, and it is becoming more and more difficult to sell the collected grain.
What happened here is a phenomenon similar to the price revolution that occurred in Britain one or two hundred years later, of course, the essence is different, the value revolution in Britain is because after a large influx of gold and silver, the price of food has risen inverted, so a group of landlords have become, very rich landlords, and these landlords in order not to depreciate the money in their hands, so they invested in industry and mining, and finally these capitals strongly supported the industrial revolution in Britain.
The change brought about by the Council of Elders is that due to the relatively sparse population and the large amount of land remaining, especially after the land and serfs in North Korea were co-opted, the old cousins of Shandong near the water can reach the southern part of Korea by small boats, and a large number of people who were originally poor ghosts in their hometowns have become landlords and have become advanced productive forces when they arrive there.
And this year, the first batch of crab eaters more or less wore leather jackets, carried money, and were followed by an obedient North Korean wife, who returned to their hometowns to show off, and at once led many people to run outside.
Just a few days ago, Kong Xingxie received a letter from home, and his father mourned that the tenants at home had begun to run away, even if the family stared at it day and night, they couldn't stand the more tenants, and when they were ready, they ran away with the villagers, they didn't know that these people pulled an immigrant over, and there would be a subsidy given by the black-hearted elders.
For the landlords, the tenants may be thieves who must be on guard at all times, and they need to watch out for the cattle and sheep that run away, but they will not be the people worth comforting, especially if a family runs away, it will often lead other families to run away, and the most hateful thing is that the county officials in other states and counties used to bow down to their Confucian families, but they also began to be ambiguous and refused to arrest those tenants who fled.
You know, theoretically, the Confucian family is almost the largest landlord in Shandong, not only in Qufu, but in the whole of Shandong, has accumulated a lot of fields, but the land also needs to be cultivated, and some people who have lost the right to control are basically ruthless in exploiting tenants.
But under this trend of fleeing, his father and the housekeeper had to find a way to ask the county officials to ask them to leave, and they also came forward to admonish, claiming that overseas is a wild land, and they must not be far from their parents' state.
But the effect is very bad, especially in the previous month, those teams that surveyed the terrain and repaired the railway, even abducted people one by one, and they were exposed at once, and the people who dug the corners of the holes were actually ......
He was a little uneasy, confident that he had always been so deferential to any conqueror, and he should not deal with their family, but their family was a noble man of the Yan Dynasty, and as long as their family greeted them, and with the guarantee of his family, the other scholars saw that the descendants of Confucius had surrendered, so I would also surrender.
That is, at the beginning of the war, Chang Kaishen, a giant in the logistics industry, understood the concept that the Kong family adhered to as a thousand-year-old tumbler family, so that it did not cause a farce of the Eighth Route Army's raid on the mansion of the traitor Yan Shenggong, of course, the Kong family can definitely find countless reasons to defend themselves in the end.
Speaking of road construction, the railway exploration team is still very annoying, in more than a year of practice, the elders gradually taught the basic knowledge of surveying and mapping to some craftsmen with solid basic skills among the residents of the new time and space, of course, it is impossible to build surveying and mapping experts in a year's time, but it is still possible to do it mechanically for initial planning, of course, after these people go out, they will inevitably be issued some tasks, such as engaging in goodwill and the like, the elders have at least issued a dozen tons of maltose rations to them, just to pull friendship.
Of course, it is impossible to expect the elders who have been raised by Gaoge's life to train an Eighth Route Army to carry water for the aunts of the five guarantee households, and it is already a very advanced thing to send sugar.
At least you have to make sure that these people don't work together to sell things, or take them home and divide them, which is already a very strong organizational ability, and it is difficult to ask people to carry water.
However, in this process, it is true that a lot of labor has been fooled, of course, like those peasants who have successfully reclaimed land in Liaodong, North Korea, they have to be subsidized, which is also the credit of close to modern management, and the system of tight seamlessness has made it possible to move forward according to the number from flickering, to concentrating in the port, and then to transporting it to the northeast.
This way of sucking blood has made many landlords in Shandong miserable, they originally thought that since the imperial court was exempted from agricultural taxes, it was just right to gather more family members and scrape oil on the mud legs, but now ......
The reason why MLM is terrible is that it is multiplied in a three-dimensional geometric way, and the proverbs of those MLM elements are still very reasonable, one person can find three downlines, three people can find nine downlines, and then there are twenty-seven, eighty-one, and it only takes a few times to double, so it is very simple to spread throughout the country.
Under this enthusiasm, or with the official superficial neutrality and actual support, more than 10,000 families and tens of thousands of men and women in Shandong have gone one after another, and they will spend the New Year there, and after the New Year, they will begin to reclaim the land, and many landlords immediately feel that there will be a shortage of labor in the coming year.
Moreover, there is an engineering team in the future, the world's traffic looks at Shandong, after Hebei's branch railway is done, several branch lines in Shandong are also very important, the future railway construction needs manpower, naturally in the case of a group of Hebei people under the guidance, as the main labor force or Shandong locals, of course, these people will not return to the countryside to continue to work, the presbyterian will plan to open a school of skilled workers in Shandong, will be neither systematic nor scientific, It is purely based on empiricism that those handicraft techniques are disseminated, which is also for the consideration of the future strategy of the Americas, or is it the question that it is impossible to create a group of modern people in the future, and can only use a semi-modern system to expand the space overseas, as Li Xiangqian joked, the cavalry with machetes cut down the enemy, and at the same time use mobile phones to call his wife and children to report safety.
In this case, Kong Xingxie felt full of pressure, which was completely different from the past rulers, and it was not any rogue behavior, but Kong Xingxie felt that he was losing influence little by little.
If you really want to unify the whole country as soon as possible, how good it is to have the signboard of the Confucian family, those Confucian scholars saw that even the Confucian family had surrendered, then I would also surrender, isn't it nothing.
The existence of the Confucian family, in countless cases, has lowered the psychological threshold of surrender of other scholars, and many times it is not a stabilizing factor, which is intolerable to the elders, and in the future they expected that when the hole cards are lifted and China begins to move towards the road of the world's factory, it will inevitably bring great turmoil and unrest, and when the time comes, strengthen the centralization of power, and iron-fisted management is absolute.
Many people in later generations do not understand the difference between centralization and totalitarianism, centralization is what any modern country must do, without centralization, how do you stipulate unified weights and measures, unified standards, unified currency, unified justice and army?
Totalitarianism refers to the impact on private life, and no one should think about this.
What the Council of Elders needs is a group of young people who are diligent and energetic, and they don't need a bunch of old-fashioned people who coincidentally want to enjoy themselves.
Therefore, even if Kong Xingxie is called to this place of fireworks at this time, he is very honest, as the eldest son of Kong Mansion, he is naturally surrounded by beautiful women, but in order to maintain his demeanor, this kind of place will not come.
As far as he knows, in the past year, the local tyrants and wealthy families in Shandong, I don't know how much effort they have spent to get through the relationship with the new ruler in the imperial capital, sending money to women is already the most basic, some people have ruthlessly prepared the distant house brother of the smart center, and want to change the dynasty, the new emperor needs a large number of people to fill the harem, replace the eunuchs in the palace in the former Ming Dynasty, and even specially invited the old eunuchs who escaped from the imperial capital through special channels to teach them how to serve and please people.
In the past, the palace had its own traditions, and it was not so easy to send people in, or a few Shandong people were clever, and they thought of this for the first time, but they prepared the people and went to the imperial capital to take a look, but they replied that the palace does not want eunuchs, and at the same time, self-castration is absolutely strictly prohibited!
This attitude of not entering oil and salt makes everyone helpless, no money, no antiques, no money, no women, and even no men.
Okay, women still want it, but the sexual preferences of the elders can be understood by the people of Daming through those small movies, but what the elders like is women with big breasts, big butts, and big feet, which is a symbol of ugly women in our Ming Dynasty.
The degeneration of a people is first and foremost the degeneration of the elites, and the most striking sign of the degeneration of the elites is that they begin to accuse the people of the depravity.
Kong Xingxie didn't understand this sentence, but that's what he thought, at least there was something, the first time was to blame the common people and others, which was the favorite thing for Confucian scholars to do, but now, he was sitting in a hall, which was originally full of individual seats, in fact, it was the hall of a nightclub, and naturally there would be no business in the morning, but there was always a man who had a good night walking out of it with a bewitching woman in his arms, and just looking at it like that was naturally the result of a presumptuous night.
