Chapter 43: The Great New##

"Until we realize that the second industrial revolution of capitalism covers the whole of China, China can only be a centralized empire, and it is impossible to realize the soil of the economic foundation of the superstructure such as a hypocrisy republic or a boiled republic. Therefore, whether we are overthrowing the Zhao and Song royal families in the future or we ourselves are emperors and sitting in the world, we must continue to centralize power, and even do not hesitate to engage in the planning of the economy with absolute control to accelerate the primitive accumulation of capital. This meeting is not a step for us to discuss the steps to prepare for rebellion in the future, but a meeting for the purpose of clarifying the guiding ideology and macro meaning of future development. I hope that you will speak freely and try your best to come up with a more perfect outline of the guiding surname for the 100 years of the 12th century. Li Ji went straight to the point about the theme of the meeting.

"Just copy one center, two basic points, why do you do such a tiring project by yourself?" Qian Jin was embarrassed when he heard it.

"If you don't study philosophy at first glance, you can't seek truth from facts, can the conditions of the 11th century and the future 12th century be the same as those of the 20th and 21st centuries? If we don't analyze the specific situation, we are going to go bankrupt, and we are not rich enough to stop caring about tuition fees. Li Ji immediately despised Qian Jindao.

"Yes! It's still imperative to understand the current situation! Although we have been in this era for almost two years, we have been to cities and bustling areas, working in research laboratories and teaching in classrooms every day. Basically, I don't have the right to speak on the national policy! The semi-public data of the court that I came to hand are also very unreliable, such as the number of land, the number of households, the volume of import and export trade, the total mileage of highways and other basic data are useless data with a lot of water. How can we do a good job in establishing the basic line without knowing the other or knowing ourselves? The conservative Wu Qi immediately said that he couldn't do this kind of work, and found a reasonable reason.

"I don't know who I am, it's just a win and a loss, and the preparations are not a decisive battle, so we don't need to be in a hurry, and one month is enough time for us to pass the formulation of this basic line. I have already collected all the data through Wang Xinyu's intelligence network, and I have all the data you can want. Our professional, Dean Liu Xin, is not a relevant department in the statistical department he leads. The data obtained is very reliable and very authoritative! ”

"Zhao Shouzhong, don't you have the most contact with high-ranking officials? The data you get from the Jaesuke is only a reference, but your understanding of the fundamentals of society is the strongest among us. Tell us what you think about the most pressing work at this stage. Li Ji named Zhao Shouzhong and broke the news.

"I'll release the data first, the official data of Zhao and Song Dynasty now has nearly 18 million domestic hukou and a population of 91.42 million, an increase of 5.6 times compared with the 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The data we collected showed that the actual number of households was about 21 million, and the population was 127.4 million, a sevenfold increase in 100 years compared to the founding of the People's Republic of China. According to the official data of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the amount of arable land in the territory is now 471 million mu (modern mu, not Song mu), an increase of 1.6 times in 100 years compared with the founding of the People's Republic of China. The data we collected showed that the actual arable land was 733 million mu, an increase of 2.44 times in 100 years compared with the founding of the People's Republic of China.

That is to say, in 100 years, the per capita land per capita has dropped from about 20 mu to 5.15 mu, which means that land is scarce relative to the population. Land prices and agricultural resources are becoming more expensive, and food prices are rising steadily as the population grows. The severity of land annexation can be said to have reached its peak.

The household registration is divided into five classes, and the first and second classes are counted as landlords, generally more than 100 acres of land, and the per capita land is more than 100 years ago, and the middle households of the third class have 570 acres of land, which is regarded as the upper class of rich peasants and yeoman farmers. Fifth-class households with a tax of less than 500 yuan and 4-class households with a land of 30 or 50 mu can only be counted as self-cultivated farmers and semi-self-cultivated farmers with some rented land, and the poor with less than 50 mu of land per capita account for 45 percent of the total population. The proletarians, who are not burdened by taxes and fees, who do not have a trace of land, are counted as customers (complete tenant farmers) who make up 35% of the total population.

Customers, lower households, and the third class of rich peasants, who are counted as the middle class, account for 85 per cent of the total population, and 94 to 95 per cent when the artisans and workshop owners of the cities and small and medium-sized merchants in general are included. That is to say, the landlord class of the upper and middle households, together with the big merchants, usurers and bureaucrats, made up only 5 to 6 per cent of the total population. And these rich households occupy at least 81.5% of the total land, and the gap between the rich and the poor is definitely the ultimate in feudal countries. I believe that no one can realize the dream of a middle-class dominant society in such a small agrarian country, and we have no conditions at least! Zhao Shouzhong sighed.

"If there are no conditions, create conditions! We are not here to be big landlords and big bureaucrats, still less commercial and financial capitalists, we are people who represent advanced civilization and people who have come to change the destiny of the world in this era. We must not be afraid of all difficulties, and we must face difficulties in order to reflect our value! Now we have made great achievements, the Chenji Group is already the richest organization in the entire Song Empire, the real estate under its name alone is worth billions of Chenji money, and the unproven minerals and real estate that will appreciate in the future have trillions of Chenji money. It is possible to break the record of all organizations except the ruling party of the future Celestial Empire. The wealth of each and every one of you is definitely more than the richest man in the world on the face of the future world.

We have far more financial and material resources than the leading class of the future bourgeois revolution in the West---- the new aristocracy and commercial capitalists, we have far more than their guiding ideology and experience, we have far more than their executive team and the fighting skills of the struggle against the stubborn forces, we have a market environment that is a hundred times richer than them, and we have a non-theocratic secular political axe that is more open than theirs. Wouldn't it be possible for us to surpass backward Europe and enter the industrial society ahead of schedule with such good conditions? Li Ji looked at the unconfident crowd who had not been hit by Zhao Shouzhong and asked rhetorically.

"Do you mean to build a centralized empire dominated by the landlord class to a dominated capitalist class? Is this our main goal for the future? What is an empire? Can a monarch without real power be called an empire, whether you are the emperor or Zhao Xi, aren't we all oligarchs behind the scenes? In the end, isn't it just a matter of discussing whether we should be chaebols or revolutionary investors? To be reformist is to slowly promote the transformation of the economic base from a small-scale peasant economy to a large-scale industrial system economy, and slowly assimilate the landlords into capitalists. After the overthrow of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the radical sweep of conservative forces opposed to the transformation directly engaged in the primitive accumulation led by the big political axe. "Wang can hit the nail on the head and spend the key to two roads.

"As Wang Neng deserves, we are discussing whether to choose an improved road with high cost, long time, and a lot of accumulation but not much trouble, or a revolutionary road with low cost, short time, and little accumulation but endless troubles? It depends on your patience and reason. I have decided to vote on this important decision, one vote per person, and the line of eight or more votes from 15 of us is our basic line in the future. We voted in three days. Li Ji made a decisive decision.
