Chapter Seventy-Four: A Glimpse of the Teahouse
A person riding a horse, when it comes to the family, is qualified to guide the country, and when it comes to uncles, uncles, fathers and uncles, they are all characters that can be boasted of.
But what they were discussing at this time was only how to use this opportunity to make a fortune, and how to take advantage of the opportunity to know the news in advance to grab the cement factory that had been developed now and was forced to be sent out by Chen Jian as a temptation or to participate in the shares.
In a teahouse behind the market, the people sitting there are not qualified to give directions, at most they are some people with small assets in the capital. However, some young people here are pointing out the country and explaining the world, talking happily, and thinking that the world is under control.
Beginning with the youth home in the capital a few years ago, the capital's teahouses were filled with young people who wanted to explain the world, as they sailed around the world, with the uprising of the agricultural workers and the flower workers near the capital, with the rise of overseas trade and the division of labor factory handicrafts, and with the pamphlets and newspapers of various parties.
It's not a big teapot like the one in a street market, it's a little stylish, and it doesn't have anything new to bring back from the seafaring trade like coffee and cocoa.
Tea can be divided into three, six, and nine grades, which are supported by hundreds of years of heritage. Nowadays, although this coffee cocoa is novel, it has not yet accumulated culture to the point of separating it into three, six, nine and so on, whether it is to worship the commodity religion or the power religion, this thing is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and there will always be a teahouse with a little style.
The teahouse itself has a certain style, and it is also a hub for street politics and new ideas near the square of the fair, so the young people in this teahouse are particularly fond of talking about national affairs and explaining the world.
They also heard the news of Chen Jian's proposal to build a large construction exposition here, and while the horseback riders outside were talking about how to make a huge profit near the water, these young people were discussing the significance and doctrine of the country, the ethnic group, and the people.
A young man with a somewhat Minjun kelp accent shook his head and said: "The ancient book says that if the age is fierce and the people lose their roots, then the palace and the pavilion will be repaired. He also said, "The rich are beautiful, and the poor are for it, and the eggs are carved and boiled, and the slings are carved and then cooked." That's what happened. Now that we have basically reached a consensus on the issue of the value created by labor and the sum of national wealth, these words of the ancients are more reasonable. ”
"If you really talk about it, if those big families eat a boiled egg, they have to carve flowers, burn firewood, and polish it, doesn't this also drive a lot of people to have something to do? Of course, the Mexican Party says that the natural resources are owned by the state, and this is a matter of curing the root cause, but the problem is that since this cannot be done, we have to take a long-term view. ”
The other person obviously disagreed, got up and said: "There is another paragraph after these words, saying that it is to mobilize the people, build the palace and the pavilion, and the people lose their ability. It is said in the ancient books that when the people lose their roots, they need to get the fierce water. ”
As soon as the words fell, the young man before sneered: "Pedanty, stupid. In ancient times, what could you do except farming? Nowadays, you have never been to Mincheng for maritime trade, domestic trade, and workshops, and you can't imagine how many people and how much money can be made every year in Mincheng's minerals, construction, canals, transportation, shipbuilding, and workshops. ”
The person who was refuted was obviously not convinced, and scolded back: "Everyone has gone to make money and speculate, what do you eat?" Eat money? ”
The person on the other side snorted and said disdainfully: "This is not a problem at all, when you refuted Mr. Chen, didn't you just say that if 15 million people can plant the land in the country, the value created is the same as that of 30 million people farming today?" Now you don't talk about that? If you really think so, don't you grow sugar beets on those lands at home, but grow food? You said that you were worried that everyone would make money and speculate, but when your father planted sugar beets and opened a potato shochu factory, he didn't object to you. ”
The choked man's face turned red, and the reprimanded person took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "When Minjun used the ginning machine, it was safe and stable. Why did the playmaker object to smashing the machine when it came here? Yes, now is not the time for the year to be vicious, but it is the time for the people to lose their roots. Min Jun has done this for a long time, and while launching the ginning machine, he began to dig the canal, which is the wisdom of the ancient books. ”
"You know, the focus is on the people losing their roots, not the viciousness. The year is just a possibility for the people to lose their roots, and you can't tell which one is the point? It's like a doctor telling you not to eat hair, otherwise you will be prone to illness, such as mutton and toon. Then let me ask you, is this mutton toon the people's loss? Or is it a year of fierce water? ”
"If this fair is really going to be held, we need to build houses and roads, so how many people who are waiting for the minimum relief of soup porridge will have work? Cement, wood, glass, and labor, don't you all need people? If you want me to say, this is the case, the big factories, big workshops, and commercial farms should continue to be run, even if there are no natural resources owned by the whole people, and we should not return to the era of tenant farmer leasing and guild pricing, as long as there is money to give those who are bankrupt something to do, this is a bright future. ”
This man said it in one go, attracting bursts of applause from the people nearby, but someone on the other side sneered: "You are shouting about the sum of national wealth every day, but I want to ask you, what is the use of the roads, squares, and buildings that have been created?" What can you do standing there? Costly. ”
A scoop of cold water poured down, and the man who spoke before also sneered and asked: "The Mo Party has given a way, collecting taxes from the wealthy and organizing the reclamation of foreign immigrants. This reclamation is not a waste of money and labor, right? But you don't pay for it, but when you hear about the progressive tax, you shout that it's unfair, and you have to ask why. The long-term solution is not nothing, you don't do it, think of a means to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and you don't agree, what do you want to do? ”
A person beside him added a fire in a strange way: "Isn't this simple? If you learn to toss in Minjun, cancel the original forced labor relief, and change it to find something to do, then isn't the cost of this employment going to rise? People have workshops and farms at home, and the more homeless people have nothing to do, wouldn't a corn tortilla be able to change a person's day's labor? Besides, even if there is a progressive tax, the people above may not pay it, and this money is not for those of them who are not high or low? ”
The yin and yang weird words made several people on the opposite side angry, and said angrily: "Fart! Fart! Big fart, it stinks! You people will insinuate and spew blood, and make some judgments all day long. These homeless people are lazy, and the previous relief method is the best, and they don't want to survive in the almshouse, so they come out to do things and become more diligent. This is the way to save people, and it is the spirit of people that is saved. Not to mention rich and poor, if a person is lazy, his spirit will be gone. ”
"Besides, haven't you read that pamphlet, if this poor man lives, he will definitely have a baby, and there are more people who have a baby, and then there will be nothing to starve to death and not get married? By doing this, you are simply postponing the death of these people who should have died, who should have been unmarried, and you thought you had done a good deed? If this exposition is combined with timber and the like, a total of 30,000 people will be used, and these 30,000 people will not be married, and the men and women will be separated in the almshouse, and now you let them receive a salary and have children, and after 15 years, 30,000 will become 60,000, what will you do? ”
"Die three now, die six in the future, and you will know who is more cold-blooded after learning arithmetic!"
"If you want me to say, don't try to think that you can understand the truth in society and the economy to manipulate, it is useless to manipulate, and it is best to ignore nothing. This is the state of nature, the best state. This is also for the good of the Republic, for the good of everyone, these people should have been eliminated. ”
"Haven't you watched "Keeping the Way"? These people can't adapt to today's Tao, naturally they can't survive, you just want these inferior people to live, isn't this defiling the race? Has it defiled the human species? This generation after generation will be passed on, and the person will be finished! ”
"Just like a wolf pack, you talk about fairness and equality, and the emaciated wolf also has the right to mate, I ask you, can this wolf pack still be saved? This pack is over! ”
"I'm not saying that some people will be killed, but that there will be free competition, complete laissez-faire, those who can't survive will die, and those who survive must adapt to this era. Your socialist set of fairness and equality is to drag everyone to the brink of weakness and extinction! ”
The person on the other side shouted, "What the hell do you want this species?" Or is it a human society? What about your horses at the time? Do you have to get a good variety? ”
"Nonsense, no one has a society where people come from? The better the person, the better the society. Humanity comes first, sociality comes second. They are all excellent and good people who adapt to the times, and the society will naturally be good. ”
"Holy! Without sociality, how can there be a person who is different from animals? The better the society, the better the people. ”
As soon as the words of the two sides fell, there was the sound of ping-pong, and the people on both sides rolled up their sleeves and rushed over with tea bowls and benches without saying a word.
For a while, the tea cup and the bench flew together, the nosebleeds were the same color as the red robe, and occasionally mixed with some new words that the newcomers to the teahouse couldn't understand, what evolution, what society, what ism, etc., were difficult to understand, and they were even more unconscious.
A few shouts frightened the newcomer in the teahouse and ran downstairs with a smoke.
But I saw the teahouse shopkeeper sitting on a chair, shaking a newly bought Japanese fan, and smoking a hand-rolled paper cigarette in the Great Wilderness City, which was as stable as a mountain, which was obviously commonplace.
Seeing that the newcomer was so panicked, the shopkeeper was not in a hurry, put the cigarette in his mouth, squinted half of his choked eyes, and took out a plaster pen with credit to add a stroke to the unfinished orthography on the side, which was the three full martial arts trips of this teahouse this month.
The newcomer wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Let them fight and they can afford to lose." In this world, although it is a day off, if you have no money, how can you not work here in the daytime? You go up and watch the point, don't kill anyone, if it's not enough, send some cheap teacups, and ask them to pay for it. ”
The guy said curiously: "If you have money to lose, why don't you give it away?" ”
"Stupid! I can really afford to pay for good porcelain, and now I'm busy drilling into the Indian company, and I don't have time to talk nonsense here! ”
The guy suddenly realized, his respect rose sharply, and he said that no wonder he was the shopkeeper, and he thought it all through.
