Chapter 400: Leek Flower
Those horses soon returned to their original positions, of course, they had to rest for a long time, the first time to run, can be said to be a very important start, how to use social funds to do a good job in education and welfare is naturally very concerned by the Presbyterian Council, which is related to the long-term planning of the stream.
At the same time, in the future, the grading of education is inevitable, when the core area of the capital enters the Zenith level of technology, the fringe area is still the era of wooden tables and broken houses, and the people who get rich first will absolutely never treat the poor compatriots as the same kind that needs to be treated well, but curse them with the most insidious and vicious eyes, use all kinds of means to distort and slander, and strive to bind them to the path of eternal poverty.
Happy education, liberal education, coupled with advocating the legalization of prostitution, the legalization of drugs, and finally the construction of large-scale infrastructure for the benefit of ordinary people in accordance with the unanimous opposition of the national elite, and the opposition to investing so much in the construction of railways, bridges, tunnels, roads, base stations, and even bridges between the mountains in remote areas, why can't they be paid millions in wages? This shows that the state does not respect traditional culture and should be extinct.
This balance of interests becomes more and more fierce in later generations, what kind of people are the grammar elite?
In the past, there was a great Confucian who slaughtered the city for dinner and killed captives for extracurricular activities, just because his descendants could accumulate tens of millions of taels of silver, even in later generations, they were also rich people who controlled a large number of shares, so their descendants spent huge wealth to carry out all-round propaganda and promotion, and they did not know that the so-called tattered family letters became classics of success, as if they could prosper and complete problems such as industrial progress and social development.
Traditional culture has become a sharp blade, as if as long as this knife is in hand, it can violate human nature, lose its conscience, advocate betrayal, and two things that are completely incompatible can also be a tool for propagating the advanced nature of Confucianism.
For the Presbyterian Church, at present, there have been scholars who have begun to advocate that the prosperity of the imperial capital comes from the Confucian scholars' full learning, just as in the 21st century, those who founded the school advocated that the progress at that time was entirely because the traditional culture was working, and did not respect the traditional culture will eventually perish, but the paradox is that if the traditional culture is really so awesome, it is also necessary to use all its efforts to spread it, advocating what Confucian colleges the country should establish, and all graduates are Confucian bachelors and enjoy the country's worship for life. Do you also need local judicial and administrative adjudication powers?
It can be seen that Confucianism has become a tool in later generations, if it is not attracted by such superior things including legal privileges, economic privileges, and murder privileges, that is, the so-called Yan Ruyu in the book and the golden house in the book, otherwise, it will be completely unattractive to ordinary people!
This is, of course, because after the class is solidified, the scholars are old and decayed, and they can't write any masterpieces that can be circulated in their lifetime, but there are not too many who rely on the help of their disciples and grandchildren to become cultural champions.
For this situation, the imperial capital has no good way, at present, those great Confucians are like ants on a hot pot, wandering around looking for opportunities, and the social management strategy of the Elders' Church outside and inside also gives them the opportunity to play, and all kinds of social loopholes have also been studied by them to explode.
In this racecourse, it is not that there are no Confucian scholars who have carried out hoarse attacks, but nothing more than ignorance and confusion.
As the biggest policy change brought to the imperial capital by the Council of Elders, the prohibition of kneeling has gradually been accepted, although at the beginning, the ordinary talents who opposed it the most fiercely did not actually have the right to ask others to kneel, which is ridiculous.
In fact, because they have not enjoyed this pleasure above other creatures, they have an inexplicable hatred for anyone who tries to deprive them of it, and those who have tasted it are actually the same thing, so there is not so much disgust at the top.
Kneeling is a very uncomfortable posture, in conceivable ancient times, in order to prove that they are harmless, the defeated side will definitely kneel at the disposal of the other party, then after kneeling, due to the relationship of strength, it is difficult to stand up on the ground, and it will be suppressed by the enemy who stands taller, not to mention, after kneeling, the head is just facing the enemy, which happens to be the target.
In the racecourse, the only person kneeling was a scholar.
His face was full of regret, and he said to a young man: "Your Royal Highness, how can you come to this kind of place, if there is a villain who assassinates the prince, then the world will be in chaos, please the prince must take the country and society as the priority, don't be like this." ”
Zhu Cihong was not angry at all, but said: "Where will anyone harm me, there are so many people here, how many people know me, but sir, Mr. Huang, when you kneel down like this, everyone knows that I am the prince of the former dynasty, and they must be here to harm me." ”
Huang Daozhou seemed to be frightened, and immediately jumped up, he was not young, but he was still very energetic.
He babbled on and on about the great turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time the local area was quiet, because of someone's threat, Li Dingguo, although brave and unparalleled, was a tree without roots, and for most of the bureaucratic class in power, it was almost unimaginable to devote a lot of resources to fight a war that had no help for their own interests.
The basic plate is so much, the resources are so much, Prussia did not dare to expand the army too much, which led to the need to appoint civilian officers, which in turn led to the military power falling to the civilians and robbing the Junker nobles of their jobs, so for the Jiangnan gentry, fighting a war meant that they would die.
The emergence of the presbytery, although at the beginning made many people make a little fortune, but its consequences also began to appear, after a period of beautiful and dreamy, no need to pay taxes, crazy plundering of the last field of the lower class people, the last house, the last bag of rations, caused a large number of poor people, did not have to bear any political responsibility, all the upper class found out, did not do anything, there was no supervision, a large number of land annexation, so that the last few homesteaders in Jiangnan also became landless farmers.
In fact, this process also exists in the United Kingdom, which is called the enclosure movement, sheep eat people, but those people can at least go into the factory to die of exhaustion, or run away to the Americas, of course, it takes capital and courage.
Gradually, the homeless group was formed, which could only survive by relying on the flesh and struggled at the same time, but the head of the Jiangnan gentry group was that after killing and robbing the poor, the products they produced also had no consumption channels.
Although the north prospered by the elders, the market was controlled, and in the past, the channels through which the Jiangnan gentry could rely on privileges, butchers' knives, and economic means to seize were basically cut off, while in the imperial capital and in the north, any attempt to influence economic life outside the presbytery would be regarded as a hostile act and would be dealt with.
And when their goods are shipped to the north, they can only get the currency of the Republic Tongbao, which has a dubious silver content, but grit their teeth, after all, they can still get many luxury goods and products in the north.
Under the currency war of the Presbyterian Church, the southern economy, which has lasted for hundreds of years, has a deficit with the north for the first time, and it is also a rather painful all-round blow, currency deflation, a large amount of silver is used to buy luxury goods in the imperial capital to satisfy the rich people's own desires, but it cannot be fed back to them for the lower classes.
In fact, there is a lot of money, all stored in the cellars of the landlords, the biggest problem of classical agriculture is that its ability to resist risks is a little stronger than the nomads, that is, a little bit, so in order to survive, the landlords will use the way of exploitation that human beings can imagine, and exploit their tenants to the point that they have no clothes and no surplus food.
Although the imperial capital began to prosper in the north and consumed a large number of southern goods, it was the fact that a large amount of silver was constantly being shipped to the north, and precious metals became one of the few competitive products in the south of the Yangtze River, and as for what tea, silk and porcelain themselves did not belong to the large consumption of the residents, they could not meet so many needs.
On the contrary, it is a T-shirt that is so cheap that it explodes, and the transparent cheap glass becomes a hit as soon as it appears.
Not to mention that under the guidance of the deliberate currency war, the metal content of copper coins and silver ingots in the government of our Ming government had to be gradually reduced.
It can be said that an economic crisis is gradually emerging, but this itself is to let those in the upper class who have money and land, while spending money to let their children study and take the Jinshi examination, the biggest entry is to enter all kinds of smuggling business.
For example, after Nanjing was raided by Li Dingguo this time, Qian Qianyi, who was the most wailing, told Huang Daozhou that his family's business had suffered a fatal blow, and it can be said that it was inevitable to lose money this year.
After the business network is broken up, it is very troublesome to rebuild, especially in the chaotic era of the Ming Dynasty, it just so happens that at this moment, the more group exercises, gather the clan to build weapons, and prevent the impact of the chaotic people, everything costs a lot of money, and at the same time, it is necessary to give a little bit of water and rice to the poor people who are unwilling to starve in peace, but especially the praying mantis, to appease them, and prevent them from colluding with Li Dingguo, a figure who has a firm seat in Jiangyin, to make a big fuss.
In particular, under the guise of the imperial capital Krupp arms group, various arms dealers in armor such as Northern Heavy Industry continued to appear, and they did not like to sell firearms, but all kinds of high-quality and inexpensive swords and swords were sold a lot, which caused a huge amount of money.
These elders had already grasped the opportunity, and at the same time as Li Dingguo went south, Tianjin Port began to ship a large number of cold weapons, preparing to make a fortune, and at the same time increased the proportion of those salesmen, so that they began to sell weapons to all parts of Jiangnan more desperately.
Arms are the most special commodity on the planet, and they themselves have the power to change the political and military structure of a region; once a batch of arms is sold into a region or a country, or into the hands of a certain military group, and after changing the balance of power, it will definitely pursue to change its own economic and political distribution.
It's almost a virtuous circle.
At present, Qian Qianyi and other Jiangnan gentry have felt the pressure, spent a lot of money, and the actual standard of living is not only declining, but also the feeling of precariousness is getting bigger and bigger.
In this case, they learned from the pain, and felt that it was better to live under the banner of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the previous requirements for the imperial capital, such as asking the imperial capital to respect Confucianism, or to give them all the officials to do it for these well-educated people, were too unrealistic, so this time, they were ready to bleed a lot of blood.
In fact, if these gentry can lower their living standards, with the current presbyterian council does not care about the posture of the land in the south of the Yangtze River, they can still play for a few years, but the gentry who keep saying that they do not pursue wealth and nobility are not so greedy, and the Ming Dynasty will not end up being slaughtered and destroyed by tens of thousands of foreigners.
Therefore, Huang Daozhou came again and again this time, and he really brought a lot of well-educated people, but he was just in time for the opening of the racecourse, so he immediately chased Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong was already as calm as water, he was mainly helping to turn his original home into the world's largest museum in the imperial capital, and in the process, he naturally saw the power of the Elders' Church, and soon realized that the reason why the Elders' Council did not fight Jiangnan was just because he felt that he did not have the ability to fully control it for the time being, and when the next generation they educated grew up, it would be difficult to say.
What Huang Daozhou is confident in this time is that many bigwigs are really down.
Of course, Marseille was about to begin, and as the crowd reached its peak, no one could hear what he was saying.
The fence was lowered at the same time, and countless horses galloped out at the same time, running forward, no, there was another horse, it was the number 13, who seemed to be unaccustomed to the track, in fact, before the start, it was already breaking free from the iron railing.
After arriving outside, he first jumped a few times to stretch his spirit, which made many people laugh, and the few gamblers who saw the high odds and bought the number 13 were in pain, and some people had already scolded.
The little girl was also in a hurry, and whipped the horses hard, and the other horses had already run out for nearly half a lap, and the starting fence behind it had been pushed open to make it easier to go around in circles, and the No. 13 leek flower finally jumped.
This span is not small, and it can finally be regarded as the first step.
Then, people forgot about the joke and started paying attention to the results.
Many people in the imperial capital are still very optimistic about this business, according to the presbyterian propaganda, the owner of the first-class horse race does not have to waste time on what prize money to live, just use his own horse to breed all kinds of mares, you can make a lot of money, a fee of hundreds of thousands of taels is not a problem, at the same time, the horse club under the management of the presbyterian church is to charge a "little" registration fee, to help track the inheritance of the noble bloodline of the horse race.
