Social issues are what Zhu Jinglun pays the most attention to, and it is also where he has the most experience, not only domestic, but also abroad, not only in this era, but also in the future. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first country to see this happen, of course, was the United Kingdom, which took the approach of immigration, transferring large quantities of surplus labor to the colonies. At that time, the British immigration policy towards the colonies was as strict as there is a story about how many children playing in the street accidentally hit the passing king's car, and as a result, they were all exiled to the North American colonies.

At that time, Britain adopted a strict punishment law, and if you make a small mistake, you may be immigrated. The government did not allow the appearance of vagabonds, and peasants who lost their land during the enclosure movement, even if they did not commit any crimes, could be exiled simply because they were wandering.

It is impossible for the Ming to play like the British, otherwise the first to come out and criticize will definitely be the British, and the whole world will echo the British. This is the right to speak in the world, the British are now developed and have the ability to treat the people better, so the citizens of other countries have a hard life, and he has the capital to teach others, and other countries cannot refute it. After completing the primitive accumulation of capital, Britain began to oppose the slave trade, which was soon considered inhumane by the whole world and slowly banned.

Daming has no suitable colony, just a piece of Alaska is completely unsuitable for survival, and really exiles the people there on a large scale, even if the British don't criticize, Zhu Jinglun himself can't accept it, because his concept is more modern than the British in this era, for example, the British in this era still don't ban opium, and Zhu Jinglun hates opium.

But there has been no large-scale exile in the Ming Dynasty, and the past few years have been extraordinarily calm.

It is an indisputable fact that a large number of silk weaving workshops have gone bankrupt, and the little money subsidized by the government is actually useless, and the key is that the subsidy has also expired, but this year the spinning industry is still calm, and the tendency towards mechanized production has not only not met resistance, but is expanding day by day.

Zhu Jinglun asked people to do an investigation, and it is true that a large number of spinning workers have left this industry and are working in other industries, but they just didn't make trouble.

In addition to the spinning industry, Zhu Jinglun was originally worried about the tea field, he was worried that a large number of tea unions would rise up to make trouble, but after opening some tea gardens to foreigners, the enthusiasm of the three major foreign companies of Jardine Matheson, Baoshun and Qichang was very high, they were all pioneers who had been operating in China for decades, with capital and channels.

It is not only the giants who have operated in China for decades that have been licensed, but there are other foreign firms that are worth working with, such as the tea plantations that Forbes allowed to open to control Forbes, the Assam company that gave them a license to crack down on tea production in India, and the licensing of a company in the British colony of New Columbia.

Although the number of these large tea plantations is small, but all of them are ambitious, British companies, with licenses, can easily raise hundreds of thousands of pounds on the London stock market, and bankers in New York are also optimistic about tea production, after all, tea is becoming more and more popular, and the scale of tea trade is getting larger and larger.

With the intervention of financial capital, most of these tea factories adopt the form of joint-stock system, and the scale has become very large. The limit depends on whether they can find a suitable barren mountain, but such a barren mountain is not difficult to find in China, so every family claims to be in the million-level area. The amount of labor that needs to be recruited is also millions.

Historically, Britain planted tea in India, and it took only 30 years to open up more than 4 million acres of tea plantations and employ 1.2 million workers. In this history, due to Zhu Jinglun's early opening of the Canton Tea Market, the British imported tea from China, which was obviously cheaper than growing tea in India. A few years later, in order to get the British to give up the opium trade, Zhu Jinglun simply gave up the tariffs on cotton textiles, and in exchange, the British also abolished all taxes on Chinese tea. This makes Chinese tea more advantageous in the British market, in recent years in India to open up tea plantations in the company has been losing money year after year, Indian tea has not developed, in the British market, Chinese tea still occupies ninety percent of the share. Even the Assam Tea Company came to Daming to open a tea plantation.

Now as many as ten British and American companies, in Daming opened up a total area of 8 million acres of super tea gardens, the annual output of more than 4 million quintals of tea, this is still fine tea, coarse tea they do not produce, otherwise the output can be higher, even one acre of a load.

To issue licenses to these foreign oceans, the local businessmen have to be encouraged, and the best tea area, Wuyi Mountain, is reserved for the domestic businessmen, only the local people are allowed to grow tea on Wuyi Mountain, thousands of acres of tea plantations are countless, but the big tea gardens are only developed by the Wu family and the Pan family.

Wu Chongyao, who is not short of money, has developed a tea garden of 3 million acres on Wuyi Mountain, and he dares to play like this, in addition to being rich, it has something to do with the Wu family and the brand. Historically, Wu Haoguan is a huge golden signboard, which is the most valuable asset left to him by his father.

Westerners lack history, but they attach great importance to history, just as later generations of Chinese always feel that it is shameful for the official to mention history.

Westerners attach importance to history, and the Wu family happens to have a history. Their advertising posters in England depict old aristocrats using ancient porcelain, and tea wrappers with the Haoguan mark placed next to them. Tell the British that it's your grandfather's taste.

In the United States, the Wu family's tea packaging is directly printed with the Mayflower steamer, which means that since the founding of the United States, they have been drinking Chinese tea. What's more, the Boston tea dumping incident was a major event that triggered American independence, and the Wu family invited a large number of experts to verify that the tea dumped by the tea party at that time was supplied by the Wu family. They have a large number of ledger records, as well as physical objects in American museums to prove it. As long as American children learn the history of their country, they can't help but learn about the Boston tea party, and if they learn about this incident, they can't help but connect with the Wu family's tea.

Of course, the purpose of historical research is not to restore the truth, but to advertise one's own tea. Of course, these are not the ideas of the Wu family, but the ideas of the foreigners themselves, and only foreigners understand foreigners. As a Chinese, this era is still thrifty, and the Wu family's wrapping paper in the past was very simple, just a piece of yellow paper. Now it is printed on color high-grade printing paper.

Wu Chongyao opened Jardine Tea in the United States and the United Kingdom, but it was not a sole proprietorship, but a partner, Forbes in the United States, and a Bank of Bahrain in the United Kingdom. Both of these companies know how to do business, and Forbes started from Qichang and are still the major shareholders of Qichang and are still the majority shareholders of Qichang Foreign Bank.

The Wu family's tea is produced in the latest factory, with the best tea producing areas and the best tea tasters, the quality is indeed world-class, on this basis, with the help of two knowledgeable partners, Haoguan brand tea, has become undisputed synonymous with the world's best quality tea, and even in the English context, the word Haoguan has a tendency to replace tea: Haoguan is tea.

Since the Wuyi Mountain tea area is monopolized by the Chinese, foreigners can only choose other places, mainly concentrated in the Wuyi area centered on Heshan in Guangdong, the Hanjiang River basin area centered on Chaozhou, the Lianjiang River basin area centered on Yingde, and even some tea plantations have developed tea plantations to Guangxi in order to expand production, and recently they have set their sights on Jiangxi, which Daming has just occupied.

It can be expected that tea production will continue to expand in the future, and the industrialization and large-scale plantation tea production model will continue to have an impact on smallholder production.

What is strange is here, due to the emergence of large tea gardens, the price of tea has fallen year after year, and it has dropped to eighteen taels of silver, which makes many small farmers unable to produce, but the tea gardens are still profitable, because their cost is only fourteen taels, and in history, Indian tea surpasses Chinese tea because of the cost, Indian tea can still make profits when it is fourteen taels, while Chinese tea is losing money.

Now the development of these large tea plantations has obviously begun to impact the bottom line of Chinese tea farmers, and a large number of tea farmers have gone bankrupt, but it has not brought social problems, which has made Zhu Jinglun puzzled before.

This time, when he found someone to investigate several kiln workers who were also in deep trouble, Zhu Jinglun suddenly figured out that it was still the immigration policy.

Daming has been promoting immigration in recent years, mainly through labor service companies, labor companies give priority to recruiting family immigrants, because what can keep people is not actually land, what can keep people is home, and what can keep men is not placed, but women.

In this way, the number of immigrants in California, USA, reached 30,000 three years ago, and now there are more than 50,000. In the Vancouver area of Canada, more than 10,000 people have also immigrated. The number is even larger in the South Seas, with more than 100,000 people, and a high-speed migration trend has also broken out in South America.

But the total number is still very small, in fact, compared with the natural migration in history, even greatly discounted, during this period of history China immigrated millions of people, but at the current rate, at most only 20,000 or 30,000 people a year, of which the main ones are going out by themselves, and more than 10,000 people are promoted by labor service companies.

Zhu Jinglun was originally worried that the decline in the number and speed of immigrants brought about by strict supervision would concentrate social pressure on the country, but the country was relatively stable, so although Zhu Jinglun had thought of various reasons, he never thought that it was because of immigration, and immigrants were not as good as the original history, how could it be because of immigration that social pressure was relieved, this is not logical.

But the reason is precisely an illogical reason.

The people sent out came back and told Zhu Jinglun that the kiln workers who lived a hard life did complain a lot, but most of them did not want to rebel or the like, and most of them complained while looking for other jobs to do, and a very common complaint was that Lao Tzu would go to Jinshan to farm if he couldn't do it.

After listening to these complaints, Zhu Jinglun suddenly opened his mouth, and the reason was no longer digging for gold, but on the words 'really not good'.

Only if it really doesn't work, they will go to the Americas, only if it really can't work, they will go to the South Seas, and only if it really can't work, they will consider immigration.

In the same way, they will rebel only if it is really no longer possible.

This is the reason why the pressure on people's lives has become more and more intense in recent years, but the society is relatively stable.

Labor companies are institutions under the jurisdiction of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and their managers abroad have the title of diplomats of legations, which is convenient for negotiations with other countries.

In China, it has also received strong support from the government, and the employment notices of labor export companies posted by county offices in various places have not been changed all year round, which makes everyone know that as long as you go abroad, you can find a good guy, but you need to bring your wife and children with you.

This era is the most conservative era for the Chinese, and even if they go to dig for gold, they don't really want to leave home. The fear of the unfamiliar environment, all kinds of illogical rumors, and the traditional culture of re-emigration all restrict their actions.

They can not go abroad, but these notices are not meaningless, these notices tell everyone that when you really can't find a way to live, you can also choose to leave your hometown with your wife and children to find a way to live.

Turmoil, rebellion, these are all phenomena of anti-order, sometimes people who do this kind of behavior are not cornered, more often, in fact, they don't feel a way out, they can't see their future, it's because they feel hopeless, and then they will rebel. In the early stage of the Taiping Rebellion, many of Shi Dakai and other high-level officials were landlords, and they also participated, but they couldn't see a way out, and they were robbed of their land in the Tuke fight, and the government didn't help them.

Although that notice did not move the vast majority of people, it became a way back in the hearts of these people, letting them know that they always had a way to live.

Many people are actually not moved by that notice, they are unwilling to abandon their hometown, abandon the place where the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb are located, and risk all kinds of dangers and dangers to open up in a strange place. But that notice reassured them, although he didn't think about immigration most of the time, when they were most desperate, he could always think of a way: if it didn't work, he would go to Jinshan to farm.

Before they make up their minds, even if they are still very difficult, they will think in their hearts, if they are patient, take a look, and see if they can get better......

The immigration information in the government announcement is like a shining light in despair, which may not make people warm, but it always makes them feel that they still have hope.

Zhu Jinglun sighed, in the final analysis, it is better for the Chinese people, as long as there is still a way to live, they will not rebel.

As for the kiln workers, they were too difficult, and smashed the brick factory of the arsenal, but because they couldn't think about it for a while, it was a few kiln heads and workers who drank too much, an accident.

But even if it was an accidental incident, the government decided to punish it severely, not because they didn't know mercy, but because there was an old calendar, the Nylon Hall smashed the silk reeling factory, and later the exiled people were as many as 3,000 people, and now this group of kiln workers may not be able to escape the same fate.
