After waiting for these people to digest for a while, the Mo Party took out a thick stack of papers and said, "This is the solution we proposed, it is better for everyone to take a step back than to let those guys in the north stretch their hands over." Don't give excuses to somebody, and don't push everybody across from you. Against the rotten, we can join forces with you factory owners for the time being. In other words, we will contribute our efforts, and you will contribute money, to maintain some of the moving forward situation in Mincheng, and to remove some of the rotten things left in Mincheng. ”

"Prepare for the worst, if it is declared a rebellion, it may be a barricade confrontation or even an initiative, and a program that is in the interests of the majority will be promulgated and the tables will be completely upset. Not for us, but for yourselves, this is a revolution that belongs to you. Because you have no way back, you have no chance to compromise, and the old times don't need you. ”

"If it is handled well, mediates a situation of acquiescence to the north, or organizes enough forces to make the other side dare not act for the time being, then everything is easy to say. Sweeping away the decay of the old era, so that the development of Min County is faster, and the accumulation of power is enough, affecting the coastal counties, and the matter is another matter. ”

After saying this, probably wanting to convince these people that they really had no way out, the man spread his hands a little helplessly and said: "No way, when Jian Chen was tossing in the capital a few years ago, he had blocked your way to compromise. ”

"When we were playing in the capital row, you didn't have a program at that time, so we sat in the middle, and some of you sat on the left. What freedoms, rights and duties, free trade, the division of labor and rationality of the factory system, the legislative power, the judicial and administrative power, the operating mechanism of the new society, and so on...... The person sitting on the left has summed it up quite a bit for you. ”

"We have not been idle all these years, and by the way, we have written a lot of pamphlets in your name and spread them everywhere. Anyway, people who saw those pamphlets must have thought that you wrote them, and we also read them, and they were well written, basically very much in line with the ideal society in your hearts, and I guess you should have read them, but I don't know who wrote them. ”

"Now that a new group of young people has grown up, the pamphlets of 'Your' are still very attractive to young people. The problem is that they are not attractive to the entrenched families, and they are very dissatisfied. At the beginning, the debate arena of the youth home in the capital has penetrated into the teahouses, wine shops, and even the streets and alleys. You haven't summarized the program yet, and we'll help you summarize it; You didn't envision how the new era would run, and we helped you envision; You haven't figured out the legitimacy of legitimacy, we'll help you find it. ”

"At the beginning, the seats in the row were said to be cram schools, but now it seems that the effect is good, and everyone is growing up like pulling out the seedlings. At this time, even if you want to quit, those people will not believe it. You see, you've even figured out what the new era should look like, and there's no place for those people in it, what do you think they can do? What can they think of you? ”

The representatives of the factory owners twitched, thinking of the unsigned pamphlets they had seen before about rights, the state of nature, the state and man, checks and balances, and so on, as well as the pamphlets that made them think that they were the ideal society in their minds, and couldn't help asking: "Those things were written by your people?" ”

"Not all, some are, for example, the pamphlet on the relationship between the state and the people, which began to circulate in the capital eight years ago, and I can tell you very clearly that it was written by our people. This thing is not very applicable to us, and it is not quite the same as our worldview, but it does not prevent us from standing in your perspective to help you summarize, lest you lack a program. Or do you think we are idle, dividing the left, center, and right debates in the capital and funding them, and then writing something that we don't agree with at all? I'm worried that you're growing slowly, so I'll help you apply some fertilizer and water. ”

The representatives of the factory owners swallowed their spittle, looked at the sheets of paper that showed the general outline and various conditions for how to solve the problem, and how to maintain the stability of Mincheng and the solution without being found an excuse to interfere, and finally put down the thick stack of papers.

Looking at the young people across from him with an expectant or worried look, he asked solemnly, "What are the odds that you won't be able to plan for the worst?" ”

"You have to plan for the worst, and you have to plan for the worst to be sure that you don't have to do things according to the worst. All I can say is, seventy percent. Our people went to the capital to find a way to divert the attention of some of them, to make some of them look elsewhere or to share some of them, so that they would not be out of control now. ”

"You mean...... Are you responsible for all these things in Mincheng? Otherwise, why did some of you make plans before you go to the capital? ”

Everyone laughed and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you forced the accident in Mincheng, we don't want to make Mincheng chaotic at all, and it is impossible to predict what will happen in a few months." It is just according to reason and analysis, as much as possible to delay some time for the factory model and development of Mincheng. You have to prepare in advance, otherwise it will be too late to prepare. ”

"And what are you trying to do?"

"At this moment, you and we are twins. The stronger you are, the stronger we are. ”

"If you say that, you should give up all strikes and fight for rights, so that we can grow faster."

"I think we have made it very clear, if we give up, others will not give up, and when the time comes, it will be those old forces and big families that will dominate. Do you think the hired union would not like an absolute class to mediate in the middle? They hate you more than they hate absolute rights. At that time, the capital will still be there, the factories will still be there, but they will be dominated by the bureaucrats or the old power families, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time. The factories are still there, the capital is still there, but it's not you people who are in control. Therefore, we are making you grow faster, rather than simply making capital and factories grow faster. ”

"What, you think we're easy to deal with?"

"No, it's just that when you grow up, we don't need to oppose the old forces, because when you oppose the old forces, you help fight back. In the future, it will only be against you. In their place, we have to oppose not only those who have replaced you, but also the old forces, the old families, and the old chaebols, troublesome, and easy to be suppressed together. Now it's different, you can't compromise, you can only stand with us in the matter of opposing the old forces, and we have multiple allies, wouldn't it be better? ”

"According to you, we are only seizing power to pave the way for what you will do in the future? So what's the point of us doing that? ”

"People will eventually die, and no one can escape, so you can die directly now?"

After the heated rhetoric, which was met with loud laughter on both sides, the representatives of the factory owners finally sat down seriously to look through the various solutions on the paper, and began to bargain on some issues, which was a good start.

Two days later, after secret negotiations between the factory owners and some members of the Nanyang Company, the bargaining text was returned to the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party, and after the discussions, the two sides secretly reached a series of agreements.

After getting the compromise and approval of the factory owner and the Nanyang Company, the Mexican Party, which had been dormant, was like a poisonous snake awakening in spring, and it quickly became active.

Propaganda was carried out among the small handicraftsmen in the weaving industry, who had been least affected by the impact of machines and had not yet seen water-powered or animal-powered machinery, and that cooperatives led by the Mexican Party in forming new wide looms and small banks set up by the Mexican Party to provide low-interest loans, in the same way as a few years ago, but now with more abundant funds.

In the cotton spinning industry, the loom is the least changeable, compared with ginning, spinning, cotton twisting these industries, the loom only increases the width at most, whether it is a factory or their own handicraft industry is basically not much different, the difference is only the bargaining power and the purchase of cotton yarn expenses.

First of all, these people were pulled out of the small handicraft alliances of the cotton spinning industry, which were exposed to the onslaught of machines, and because of the large amount of smuggling for export, the weaving industry had a far better life in recent years than the spinning industry, which was forced to gradually go bankrupt.

They are all small handicraftsmen, but the gap in circumstances at this time makes their alliance extremely loose, and they can be divided with a little provocation, especially when the price of cotton yarn fluctuates sharply and the price reduction war is fighting, these small handicraftsmen who weave cloth live a more nourishing life. The guilds were swept away, and there was no danger of machine competition for the time being, so of course they were not willing to retreat.

Enjoying free labor and fair trade, the cooperatives were satisfied with them and immediately withdrew from the Craftsmen's League.

Immediately afterwards, at the cost of free ferry tickets and a part of the Great Wilderness City grain tokens, a large number of freelance craftsmen were recruited.

After committing to the Great Wilderness City, these freelance craftsmen can obtain citizenship in the Great Wilderness City without having to work in the Great Wilderness City for four years, and can freely open their own handicraft shops in and around the Great Wilderness City, and are exempt from public affairs taxes for three years.

These craftsmen were the freedmen who were desperately needed after the city was ready to destroy the nearby slave city-states by force, and the generous policies and the infrastructure and food security that the first settlers of the city spent years completing made the living conditions there not too bad.

The only demand was to declare that it would not support the old and backward programmes, to get rid of the artisans league completely, and to vote for the Mexican Party in the election of the new council. At least, there is no second organization that can offer such generous conditions, and there is no second organization that has built up a world that lacks artisans.

In this way, a part of the craftsmen was divided, and the confidence and momentum of the old school were greatly damaged. Some began to waver, while others thought they would be able to hop on a ship to the Great Wilderness City, away from this land of life and death, and escape from possible chaos and future disputes.

This is their consistent habit and choice.

The Mexican street activists then took to the streets, escorted by pickets, to talk to the lowest strata who had previously been led by the radicals, and to promote the solution offered by the Mexican Party: a small portion of the taxes and fees would be provided by the factory owners and the Nanyang Company, relief would be abolished, and county-owned factories would be set up to work in which paper money could be issued to the Great Wilderness City, and if conditions permitted, the right to use large plots of land could be distributed to the Great Wilderness City.

In addition, some paintings of the harvest scenes of the Great Wilderness City, as well as a book describing the life of the Great Wilderness City, were read to these people, and some letters sent back from the Great Wilderness City, all of which also depicted some extremely beautiful sounding lives.

Filled with the paralysis of the future, the base of the ultra-radical faction suddenly turned to the side of the Mexican Party. Compared to a small piece of land, the life depicted here in the Great Wilderness City seems to be much better, and the Mo Party still has a high prestige and credibility after all, as well as money and the strength to do it, and most importantly, it does not need to be exchanged for blood, only sweat is exchanged for a future that may exist.

…… After the compromise and alliance of the factory owners, the more detailed program for the election of the Mexican Party was not yet publicized, but it was only a few very real things, and within two days the situation in Mincheng had changed dramatically.

The Mexican Party has always had a history of creating votes, creating divisions among small producers, snatching the votes of the neutral or ultra-radical bottom into its own hands, allowing the factory owners to choose to negotiate and compromise, and using some special factories controlled by the party to carry out economic oppression to force some neutrals to support......

The political change and voting change that the Mexican Party wants is because the citizens of Mexico took the initiative to put forward the bill after seeing that the Mexican Party voted against the "Prohibition of New Water Workshops Bill", in order to pass the bill in the future.

For those who are behind the scenes, this is shooting themselves in the foot, thinking that the small citizens will destroy the gradually developing machine workshops so that they don't have to intervene themselves. But now it seems that according to the actions of the Mexican Party, I am afraid that they will lose even the lowest veto power in the new parliament......

For the Mexican Party, this vote change is what they want, and it is the only thing that can support the fanatical demands of the petty citizens, and can form an alliance to defend it. Although it is still a hierarchical proportional system, at least the bottom is counted as people.

All that's left is to find a way to win over the small citizens and get them some kind of compensatory bill. In order to make them stand firm on the question of the change in the defence of the vote, and if necessary, to oppose together the regressive reaction of the bourgeoisie and the old class on the question of the vote, which was then briefly united.
