On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the New Year is about to begin, but many people in Fujian City can't even feel the taste of the New Year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The petition has been going on for four days, and except for some mine owners in Nan'an, who have obviously defected to Mincheng, the rest of the mine owners are still on their way.

Although there is still order, the depression of all walks of life and the existence of speculators have made Mincheng no longer prosperous as before.

Dissatisfaction, resentment, anger, sympathy...... Different emotions are intertwined, and after feeling the power of these people, the vast majority of people are eager to solve it as soon as possible.

The officials of Mincheng had exhausted all means, and now there was no way to do anything, and it seemed that the only way was to accept the demands of the miners as soon as possible.

It's just that time has a tendency to continue to drag on, the officials are anxious and upset, and Chen Jian's life is not easy.

Seven days, this is the maximum time that Jian Chen estimated to be able to control the situation, and if it is longer, the situation will be difficult to control.

It is now the turn of the old and the new, and it is not necessarily a capitalist state that has a council, and the emperor with full power is not necessarily a feudal state.

Feudalism and capital do not lie in these forms, but in their essence.

With this huge petition, the contradictions that had been suppressed in the past erupted day by day, and some radicals in the party and the liberals of the democratic bourgeoisie could no longer hold back and moved everywhere.

The things that are given daily speeches on the streets are becoming more and more dangerous, and Chen Jian's heart is beating when he listens.

It's not that there is no progress, on the contrary, it is very progressive, but the problem is that this progress is not achieved by petitioning, but is to be completely destroyed by a civil war.

Once the evolution reached that point, Jian Chen felt that the time was not yet ripe, and he really didn't want to die, let alone this group of idealists who knew they couldn't do it.

It was only intended to take this opportunity to invigorate partisan politics, rather than to lead to an uprising of the craftsmen and the emerging bourgeoisie when the time was not ripe.

There are too many problems left over from the old era, including land issues as well as industrial and commercial issues.

For the time being, the land issue does not involve urban incidents, and if the industrial and commercial issues alone are not properly controlled, it is likely to trigger a trend that is difficult to contain.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the chaebol aristocracy basically controlled various profitable industries, and the guild system accumulated too much discontent among the emerging industrialists and merchants and the grassroots of the citizens.

For example, not long ago, not long after the establishment of the Standard Oil Workshop, when the kerosene lamp and kerosene were just displayed, someone found Chen Jian.

The surname of the person who found Chen Jian was Ji, a genuine member of the same clan in his previous life.

The reason for looking for Chen Jian is that this family of the same clan in the previous life has the monopoly of whaling and whale oil, and is extremely wary of the kerosene lamps in the Standard Oil workshop.

Monopoly is not a state-owned monopoly, not ownership by the whole people, but only private ownership.

The advantage of these monopoly rights is that they do not need to pay taxes normally, and they can monopolize an industry by government decree or law by paying a monopoly fee every year.

The chaebol aristocracy is the same as the aristocracy, but the rights and wealth are exchanged for a non-bloodline sacred inheritance, which is essentially the same.

Mincheng is a new city, and the impact is slightly smaller, but in the city with a "long" history in the middle reaches of the river, the influence of this big family is very serious.

It's like Chen Jian, a family of the same clan in the previous life, monopolized the whaling industry in a county in the northeast in the name of legality, legally exploited those whalers, and manipulated a large amount of money because he did not need to pay transaction taxes.

The monopoly is in the hands of the oligarchic plutocracy, the number of new classes in the council is too small, and the problem is exacerbated by the unreasonable number of constituencies.

Everyone knows that monopoly makes money, but the problem is that you are not a person in the circle and cannot get the opportunity to monopolize at all.

This is just whale oil, and many other things such as Feitian salt mines, candles, maple syrup, etc., completely go against the original intention of Chen Jian in his previous life, and turn these things into a means for those big families to make money.

Chen Jian supports the monopoly of some industries, but this monopoly must be owned by the whole people or nationalized, which is the fundamental problem, and the same superficial connotation is completely different.

Just like a council, different cores have different meanings, a feudal state can have a council, and a cabinet can also have a cabinet, but this is only a traditional form, not a bourgeois cabinet or council in the real sense.

The bourgeois state can also have a monarch, and it can even make a monarch with real power instead of virtual power, the key lies in the core, not that the bourgeois revolution is the reform of the monarchy.

What needs to be changed is the lining, not the leather surface.

It is the new ideology, the concept of rights, the customs and customs, the moral concept, the distribution of power, these are not things that can be changed by a few machines, but something that needs to be reborn vigorously and vigorously.

Such things as monopolies, coal, iron, and so on, after a long struggle, were finally allowed to be privately owned, and some of the new bourgeoisie were involved, but only in some of the newer counties.

The new bourgeoisie was extremely opposed to this, and the burghers were disgruntled, which affected their daily lives.

When the new bourgeoisie wishes to get rid of these things, and the ordinary little artisanal families hate the guild system, these remnants of the old era make both the two major revolutionary forces of the new era resentful, and it is easy to spark a spark because of something - the hired class is not the revolutionary leader of this era, they have no program, and can only temporarily attach themselves to bourgeois democracy or liberalism and become their thugs.

And these things could not have been removed without a revolution or civil war, and the National Assembly was in the hands of the monopoly families, the big landowners, and the big guilds, and they could not have voluntarily given up these things.

The reason why it has been stable before is because life is still passable, and it has not yet reached the point where the contradictions are out of control.

This is precisely the reason why Chen Jian is worried, and the current situation in Mincheng can easily give these new bourgeoisie and small citizens the illusion that they can make more demands.

This dissatisfaction is compounded by the fact that the speculators and those who own the franchise still do not miss this opportunity to make a fortune.

Grievances accumulate too much, and as soon as the time is beyond control, something will happen.

What should I do if I don't agree, then I can only revolt and resist, touching the basic interests of the ruling core, and I will definitely be crushed to death, a small Min County is not enough to shake the whole country, there is only a dead end.

But this is exactly the last thing Chen Jian wants to see, he is involved in martyrdom is only a part, and he doesn't want to see that the spark of thought that has been easily accumulated may be suppressed.

Not yet when the emerging bourgeoisie and petty burghers in most of the coastal counties had sufficient power.

Under these circumstances, Chen Jian suppressed a part of the radical faction within the alliance on the one hand, appeased the new bourgeoisie and petty citizens of the alliance on the other hand, and on the other hand, actively sought out local industrial and commercial influencers in Mincheng to try his best to mediate and solve these problems as soon as possible.

The tycoons of the cotton spinning industry had a falling out with Chen Jian, their industry did not use much coal, and Chen Jian simply did not go to them.

The rest of the industrial and commercial tycoons in the coal-related industry have long been unable to hold back, and they don't want to spend the New Year.

On the 28th of December, they had already sent representatives to express their support for the Mexican Party and the petition of these hired workers.

I apologized for my opposition in the council.

The reason is that after listening to the propaganda of these people, I realized how miserable the life of the miners was, especially after seeing the photos of those emaciated people and dilapidated houses, which deepened the impression.

They call some mining areas places where the laws of the Chinese people do not shine, but in fact they have already expressed their indignation at the Wang family, the birthplace of the strike.

In fact, Jian Chen knew very well that these people were because they had no use for coal, and the chaotic Mincheng City had affected their normal business - he just didn't expect that these poor ghosts would have such power after being organized together.

What they were indignant about was not the Wang family, but the in the Wang family's coal mine that affected them to make money, and released the monster of organized hired laborers.

Moreover, they are really worried that if this development continues, some domestic workers or those cottage craftsmen who are oppressed by the guilds will also learn from them, and it is better to solve them sooner.

By the evening of the 28th of the lunar month, the mine owners who had betrayed the Coal Industry Alliance and some industrial and commercial representatives had already expressed their willingness to discuss and even express their intention to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

The council in Mincheng met at an unprecedented pace, unilaterally negotiating with members of the Mexican Party, who were represented by the hired workers, in the absence of half of the mine owners.

After a night of bargaining, before the dawn of the 29th day of the lunar month, the thirteen demands put forward by the hired workers were finally fully accepted.

This means that this is not an agreement between the hired workers and the mine owners, but rather an agreement in the form of a council.

In this regard, the Mexican Party and the Hired Workers' Association also made some concessions or promises after dealing with the hired businessmen.

Once the agreement was reached, the employees gave up the opportunity to take a break for the New Year, and made every effort to ensure the mining and transportation of coal in Mincheng, and promised that the first batch of coal would appear in Mincheng before the seventh day of the first lunar month, and that order in Mincheng would be restored before the tenth day of the first lunar month.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, just after dawn, the news that the thirteen demands were accepted spread throughout Fujian by relying on the grassroots organizations of the Mexican Party.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the hired men took to the streets, cheering their victory, singing loudly, and the sound of firecrackers rang out everywhere, and it was the little citizens who were sympathizers who expressed their emotions again, and more and more people joined in the celebrations, and all the pickets were vigilant, not wanting to have an accident at the last moment.

When the street bell was ringing by the bell-ringer, the old county guard looked through the large piece of transparent glass and looked at the excited figure outside and sighed.

"Mincheng, Mincheng."

An inexplicable sigh may be a portrayal of the old county guard's heart.

He may have vaguely felt that Mincheng would become the source of revolution or change in the new era in the future, but he was already old and couldn't manage it and didn't want to take care of it.
