Chapter 621: Planning (2)
Qian Jiang sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is the reason why the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration established this task force and issued such a special task."
If this is what we suspect, then we must find a simpler and more effective way to disintegrate the original social classes, and perhaps this is the real purpose of the Ministry of State-owned Assets. ”
"A way to disintegrate the old social class?
In the original social structure, the class division of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants has been formed for thousands of years, and it has long become a habit for everyone, and it is not easy to change it. “
Although the same class has similar social status, class and status are two different concepts.
Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are only different groups in society, and they do not represent social classes.
The real social class should be a social ecology, in which the bottom layer is made up of a large number of displaced people and tenant farmers.
These displaced people and tenant farmers are responsible for more than eighty percent of the output of the whole society's living materials, but it is difficult for them to improve their social class through their own efforts, and they are always in a position of exploitation.
Because they are almost always struggling to survive, it is almost impossible to have any savings.
It is very difficult to change one's social class on one's own strength without the resources to start.
The second layer is the large families who own a lot of land, and they control the main means of production: land, or they have unique industrial technology, so as to obtain a way to divide the fruits of the labor of the working people at the bottom.
With the accumulation of their ancestors, such a family has become a very important and very large force in the entire social class.
The third level is the local administrators of the state, the 'scholars', who are mainly scholars who are completely detached from productive labor.
Their social status is between that of the emperor and the common people, and they are the most basic nobles and the most senior people.
At the top are the rulers of the state apparatus.
Of these four strata, only the lowest stratum of the common people are engaged in basic productive labour and provide the necessary means of subsistence for the rest of the strata.
Although artisans and merchants were also an integral part of society as a whole, their status was not even comparable to that of those who owned the means of production such as land.
In such a social class, the rulers of the state rely on the army in their hands to obtain the management of the state, and obtain taxes from all producers to feed the army in order to maintain their dominance.
However, the collection of taxes and the access to state decrees are not something that the rulers can accomplish by themselves, but must rely on the 'scholars' to complete them, and the relationship between them is ostensibly that of a ruler and a ruled.
In fact, because there are not many 'scholars' who can accurately implement their own policies, and the main source of these 'scholars' is those of the big families.
Therefore, those rulers do not have much choice at all, and many times it is a symbiotic relationship with the family.
This also leads to the fact that no matter how the dynasty is changed, as long as those big families control the 'scholar' class, the new ruler will have to rule the world with them. ”
"In most places, the main source of income comes from farming.
Therefore, we can directly use a large amount of food to destroy their original social ecology.
However, the larger the city, the more developed the commerce, and as long as they can provide enough 'hard currency', they can easily get what they need from other places.
For example, in this Nanyang City, those clans relied on iron-smelting technology that was more advanced than other places, so they were able to be indifferent to our grain offensive. ”
"Actually, our grain offensive is not without impact on Nanyang City, but the economic pillar of Nanyang City is not food production.
The loss of those displaced people and tenant farmers will have little impact on Nanyang in the short term, but over time, it will inevitably change the social ecology of Nanyang.
At present, the main problem is that if we want to accelerate the disintegration of Nanyang's social ecology, we can only take action against Nanyang's industrial system, which goes back to the question we discussed earlier, what kind of work plan should we adopt in order to get the support of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision. ”
"I don't think it's possible for the clans of Nanyang City to be monolithic, and there is no need for us to be enemies of the clans of the entire Nanyang City.
The loss of the displaced people and tenant farmers at the bottom had a great impact on the families who mainly relied on farming for their development.
At present, there are only two ways for them to go, one is to integrate into the Huaxia Kingdom, and the other is to meddle in the iron smelting industry.
In addition, there is only one way to stay away from the Huaxia Kingdom, or to wait for the decline, which should not be seen by any patriarch.
Therefore, I think that we can start with these big families, either give enough conditions to buy their industries, or support them to meddle in Nanyang's iron smelting industry. ”
When Qian Jiang and the others heard this, this was indeed a good way.
"Not only do you not have to come forward to fight with those big families in Nanyang, but you can also cause rifts within them.
Supporting one family and suppressing one family is the best way for our task force to work. ”
"So, which one are we going to start with?"
"Judging from the information provided by the Ministry of State-owned Assets, I think the Chen family is good."
"The Chen family? Which Chen family? ”
"Nanyang Chen Ji.
Chen Ji's father, Chen Zhen, is now the Qianwei Taishou of the Shu Kingdom, and the Chen family is prosperous because of Chen Zhen, and it does not have much foundation compared with other families.
They relied on the thousands of good fields given by Liu Bei, the king of Shu, when Shu entered Jing, in order to have the current situation.
However, the rise of China has caused a large loss of tenant farmers who are dependent on it, and these lost tenant farmers cannot be replenished from the original displaced people.
As a pure landlord class, the Chen family's current life should not be easy, right? ”
"If there is no problem with the information provided by the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration, this Chen family is indeed our best breakthrough at present.
However, I don't think the acquisition of their property will be of much help to our follow-up work in Nanyang.
Because, once the Chen family joins our Huaxia Kingdom, according to the policies of the Huaxia Kingdom, they will have more choices.
If we invest a lot of money just to get their thousands of acres of fertile land, for Huaxia, which has the ability to mechanize land reclamation, the investment is not proportional to the benefits.
I am more inclined to support the Chen family, so that they have the ability to compete with other families, so as to become the driving force behind our dismantling of Nanyang's iron industry. ”
After more detailed discussions, Qian Jiang and others decided by voting on the work plan for suppressing the Nanyang Iron and Steel Industry by supporting the Chen family, and reported it to the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration through the radio station for review.
After receiving a positive reply from the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Qian Jiang took the initiative to undertake the task of going to Chen's house to discuss relevant matters.
In order to ensure his safety, Zhang Ji sent two members of the Huaxia Self-Defense Forces to escort Qianjiang to Chen's house to carry out the mission.
