It is recognized by the historiography that there was an embryonic period of capitalist production relations in ancient Chinese society, but there are different views on when the germination style arose. Some people think that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have appeared, such as the large industrial and commercial owners Zigong, Fan Li, Lü Buwei, etc., not only have tens of thousands of family wealth, but their labor is as many as 10,000 people, and there is no shortage of wage laborers, the ancients called it "those who hold hands and eat".

Some people also believe that it was in the Tang Dynasty, when industry and commerce flourished, overseas trade developed, and a group of wealthy people appeared in the world. For example, Zou Fengchi in Chang'an, the fourth uncle of Wang in Yangzhou, and Wang Qing in Luoyang were all rich and wealthy. The composition of the businesses they run is complex, but they must also have wage labourers.

There are also people who believe that the two Song Dynasty was the time when capitalism in ancient China sprouted, because the economy of the two Song Dynasty and China reached a new level, because of the prosperity of handicraft commerce, the fang market system that had been closed in China for thousands of years was broken, and it was precisely because of the large population of the city that wage laborers were not an isolated phenomenon in the business activities of handicraft business, but the historical materials of the two Song Dynasty were destroyed in the hands of Jin Yuan, and there is no way to study.

Later scholars recognized that capitalism appeared in China in the Ming Dynasty, and even later textbooks were written with this viewpoint.

Some people say that in ancient times, certain conditions should be met in the embryonic stage of capitalism, such as: the commodification of labor, that is, laborers can freely sell their labor; It is necessary to have a large manual factory; In addition, there must be the emergence of package buying merchants.

After seven years in politics and travel to the Great Song Dynasty, Lotte has lived for five years, and has been the highest official in a province all the way from the small cha to the highest official, especially the most wealthy Liangzhejiang Road in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he naturally understands the situation of the Great Song Dynasty. The commodification of labor was the most common thing in the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was the most urbanized dynasty in history, there were millions of households in Biandu, there was no one who burned wages, and the coal used for heating in winter was by no means a family mining, and coal mining was not a government industry of the Yamen, and only the large-scale mining of the private organization could achieve this kind of output.

As for the large-scale handicraft factories, the ceramics, silk, and tea that went to sea for trade were all the result of mass production, which was by no means the quantity that could be produced by a family workshop; The export of these ceramics, silk, and tea, how could they go out to carry out sea trade without buying merchants, and at this time there was already the existence of "Jieren", but in the Song Dynasty, they were called "tooth people". And the weaving household in front of him to expand production illustrates this point.

Through various pairs, the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty at this time had begun to take on the germ of capitalism, but it was only in the embryonic state, it was only a few isolated islands in the vast ocean relative to the feudal economy, and the existence and development of the current state could not shake the economic and political system of the Chinese feudal society at all.

In his previous life, Lotte remembered that Marx had said that the collapse of feudal society was due to the fact that the relations of production were not suitable for the development of the productive forces. The opening of new shipping routes promoted the development of commercial capital, and it was precisely because of the development of the productive forces that the revolutionary factors within the collapsing feudal society developed rapidly.

To put it bluntly, the whole process is the overthrow of the landlord class by the emerging rich capitalists.

In the Age of Discovery, which was planned to begin, Lotte tried to discover the New World, and Lotte was consciously or unconsciously practicing the words of the philosopher of later generations.

……

It was a quarter of an hour before I arrived at the door of the house.

The carriage stopped, and there was a knock on the door before the shakushichi.

The door opened, and when Lotte entered the house, the old porter shouted: "Master Hou, you can come back, the door of our house is about to be broken today!" ”

Don't ask, Lotte immediately understood, now the entire Biandu City knows that he is in the palace and the Son of Heaven to abandon his post, as one of the few people in the Great Song Dynasty who dare to fight with the Son of Heaven, dare to scold Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng in the court, and despise the two major eunuchs, there will naturally be many people who come to visit, but limited to Lotte's identity as a horse master, officials will not come to visit, most of them are ordinary scholars who are studying.

After entering the courtyard, Lotte instructed: "If someone comes again tomorrow, he will tell these people that I am not at home and go out for a walk!" ”

"Yes!" The old porter answered, and suddenly remembered something, walked two steps quickly to catch Lotte's steps, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the master of the Western Army ordered someone to come to the mansion and deliver a letter. ”

As he spoke, the old porter handed over the letter.

After taking the letter and opening it, Shakuchi was very clever and brought the lantern, Lotte glanced a few times and ordered: "Prepare the car, go to the Shuai Mansion!" ”

Speechless all the way, Lotte rode out of the inner city in the car and came to the Planter Mansion. Menzi obviously got the order, and when he opened the door, someone politely invited Lotte into the house, and then someone led the way in front, and then passed through the door and porch, and was taken to a certain study.

This study occupies a very large area, has a curtain, and is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the family who led the way asked Lotte to wait, and then went to ask the planter to come out. Lotte stood in the outer room and looked around the room, only to see that the study was full of all kinds of books, and the wall was hung with handwritten letters with four big characters of smelling chickens and dancing.

The Taoist was originally an official, and when he was young, he worshipped the Northern Song Dynasty Confucian Zhang Zai as his teacher, which can be described as a figure of Wu Shuangquan.

The white-haired planter Dao walked out of the inner study in a casual robe, and there was no joy between his eyebrows, but his face showed a little worry.

"I've seen my righteous grandfather!" Lotte was busy praying, after all, the two still have a relationship with each other.

With a wry smile and a wave of his hand, the planter Dao asked in a somewhat reprimanding tone: "The old man knows that you have always been steady, but I don't know why you are so reckless this time, and you dare to confront the Son of Heaven in front of the court, which is like nonsense!" ”

At this time, it must be his own people who can reprimand himself, Lotte sighed: "Yisun is doing his last bit of strength to save the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no other idea." ”

Hearing Lotte say this, the planter was slightly shocked: "Do you think that the old man has no chance of winning this time in this expedition?" ”

"There's no chance of winning!" Lotte nodded, very serious.

He had won countless victories against Western Xia, and Dao Dao, who was also the No. 1 strongman in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, was immediately surprised: "Why? ”

Stretching out a finger, Lotte said slowly: "Xuanhe destroyed the Western Xia in the first year, Xuanhe three years of square division, from the northwest to the southeast, and now to Youyan, the Western Army has been fighting for a long time and the veterans of the division have not completely rested, which is similar to the situation when Emperor Taizong Xiyong invaded Liao!" ”

The planter was silent, obviously what Lotte said was reasonable. When Zhao Kuangyi of Song Taizong captured Taiyuan, he immediately went north to Yanyou, and it was because of this that he returned and almost lost his old book.

"This is one of them!" While the master was pondering, Lotte stretched out his second finger and continued: "Second, the Hebei Forbidden Army has not been fighting for a long time, and the military discipline is lax, and the 200,000 forbidden army can have 80,000 people without empty salaries, not to mention any combat effectiveness, and it is very good to fight without dragging down the Western Army!" ”

The complexion of the planter changed from solemn to difficult to see. This time he was appointed to control the whole army, and Lotte said this, which made the seed master Dao think carefully.

After a pause, Lotte stretched out a third finger: "Third, the Son of Heaven re-established the public field office last year due to the emptiness of the treasury, and this year in order to enjoy the fun and restore the Huashi Gang and the Ying Bureau, it is said that because the treasury is empty, Tong Guan wants to collect taxes in the private sector to cut down Liao, and the civil regeneration is not a matter of time!" ”

The seed master nodded involuntarily, what Lotte said was the truth of the current Great Song Dynasty, how could he not see it.

Sighing, Lotte continued: "Righteous grandfather, don't you see, today's saint is lazy in pleasure and neglects the government, Wang Huang, who is the head of the official, but everything is Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng......

The face of the cultivator became more and more solemn.

Lotte opened his mouth to persuade: "I advise my grandfather and the elder to resign from this rule, and don't ruin your reputation because of a few traitors." ”

"The old man has no intention of Liao, but no one is willing to ......listen," the seed master shook his head and sighed, half of his words stopped abruptly, his eyes fell on Lotte's body and smiled: "You're afraid that there is something in the words!" ”

Lotte smiled: "Grandfather Yi is really as wise as a torch, and he can't hide anything from your old man......"

The planter waved his hand: "Don't pat yourself on the back and get down to business, what do you mean?" ”

Lotte Zhengse said: "Yisun also said in front of the hundred officials in the Vertical Arch Palace, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Jin people will definitely covet the rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty, and then it will be the most critical time for my Great Song Dynasty." ”

After a long battle, what kind of battle has not been passed, what kind of strong enemy has not been seen, the planter Dao is not convinced: "The combat power of the Jin people is as strong as you say?" ”

"The four capitals that can be beaten by Da Liao have lost three capitals, and only Yan You is left, can't the righteous grandfather still see it?" Lotte asked rhetorically.

The heart was still unconvinced, and the seed master sneered a few times: "If you have the opportunity, I really want to understand whether these Jurchen soldiers are really that powerful!" ”

"Don't say it's a Jin person, it's the Liao army, and my Great Song Dynasty may not be the enemy!" Lotte shook his head, and immediately felt a gaffe after the words fell.

"......" Listening to Lotte's words, the seed master frowned: "Hearing you say this, the old man wants to understand the power of the Khitan people." ”

Broken!

Lotte shouted in his heart, the older a person gets, the more tough he becomes, what he said unintentionally, but the listener intentionally, will this kind of old man not be able to pull back nine cows......

Lotte didn't even dare to think about it.

Seeing Lotte's expression, the seed master laughed out loud: "The old man has no intention of daring to attack Liao, but the Jin people's destruction of Liao is a foregone conclusion.

If my Great Song Dynasty does not move, then Youyun will be occupied by the Jin people, and for my Great Song Dynasty, Hebei and Shandong, the Jin people will not want to enter and advance like the Liao people, it is better for me to occupy the homeland of Yanyou in the Song Dynasty, and at the same time use the pass of Yanbei to face the Jin people = confrontation! ”

Lotte knows that what the master said is not unreasonable, but there is a gap between reality and ideals, and the key is that the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Army is really scum.

"Don't worry, you kid, the old man who occupies Yanyou will always be wary of the Jurchens!" Looking at Lotte, the planter said with a smile, and then snorted again: "If the Jurchen doesn't know what to do, the old man let him know how powerful the Great Song Western Army is!" ”

After finishing speaking, the planter said in a correct way: "The old man is going to lead the army to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow, and I called you here this time, the old man wants to hear what suggestions you have for this expedition?" ”

After being silent for a while, Le Tiancai said: "Yisun's suggestion is only four words: 'Don't be underestimated'!" ”
