Chapter 65 Long live the market economy

No one can stop China's descent into the abyss of bureaucratic capitalism. In an era of feudal empire that far exceeded the centralization of power during the Republic of China, it was almost impossible to avoid the emergence of a big bureaucracy that rivaled the richness of the country. Not to mention the thousand-year-old family Qufu Kong, even those who have been continuously suppressed since the Sui and Tang dynasties, there are several families that still occupy high positions in the court. Although the imperial examination system has destroyed the institutional foundation of the gate valve for generations to steal high positions, the gate valve family with absolute superiority and resource advantage still has great financial and material resources. The hereditary title is only a layer of protection for the net worth, and what really deters Xiaoxiao from coveting the family property is the resources and connections in his hands. As long as the resources and connections are protected, even if there is no clan leader and royal family for three generations, the influence of the family will not be weakened. But among the three pillars that really support political power, the most flexible one used by the gatekeepers is military power. Each dynasty relied on the support of warlords to maintain stability, and each dynasty was wiped out after the warlords and families abandoned the royal family. This law began with Wang Mang and continued until the Great Song Dynasty, without exception. The Han Dynasty died at the hands of the warlord Cao Ying, the Jin Dynasty died at the hands of the warlord Liu Yu, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties were not the same.

Li Ji hopes to rewrite this law before the emergence of the Mongol Yuan and the destruction of China, and give birth to the monster of monopoly capitalism in advance to compete with the monster of the Mongol military slave-owning empire spawned by nomadic tribes. Destroy it even before it appears.

Originally, Li Ji and the others did not want to use the power of the gate valve, so they directly turned themselves into the core of oligarchs and bureaucratic capital. In the hearts of the people, they all think that the children of the family have no part of the intersection of values, and if they cooperate to give birth to a group of monopoly oligopolies like Standard Oil, it is better to be an apple and a service-oriented political axe. At the beginning, the choice of a good family is to avoid anti-customer and big tails. However, the lack of cooperation of large landlords in various places also made it difficult to cross the public. They naturally welcome the joint venture to open and sell mines, but it is not possible to infringe on their monopoly right to exploit the people in their territory. The demand for raising the purchase price of grain and lowering the price of daily necessities is to cut off their financial route, and the wealthy families will naturally be disgusted. If it weren't for the strong political and economic power of the Crossing Crowd, the various gate lords and warlords would have devoured the industry of the Crossing Crowd long ago.

"Boss, there are bottlenecks in our expansion in various places, no one goes to work in the financial building that Lao Chen has built in Shanghai, Wu Qi is not allowed to go to the mountains to set up an acquisition station, and even the new rural plan in Kuizhou in the southwest has been stopped by the local Tusi and Haoqiang."

"We're just so good at talking. If you don't give them a little color, you think we're bullies! ”

Comrade Wang Xinyu engaged in smuggling activities on the Song-Xia border in the northwest, and great progress had been made in expanding his ranks while leading troops to suppress bandits, but under the pressure of the border troops, many transactions had been snatched away, and he was naturally full of resentment.

"We are basically struggling to buy land, and although the officials in various places have a strong relationship with our subordinates, they cannot stand the strong and influential local landlords from rallying against our encroachment. Many landlords know that the future potential of the land we fancy is unlimited, and the cost of enclosing land has skyrocketed! The land price is simply an infinite opening limit, and many of the plots in the plan have been speculated to sky-high prices. We wanted to transform it into a high-yield yellow-washed salt-washed wheat field and a demonstration site for the comprehensive treatment of quicksand, but we didn't expect to be circled in advance by an old rich man, and when we went to buy it, we asked for 500,000 yuan. I later went to the yamen to inquire about his cost, and because it was an internal transaction, his distant relative, the county magistrate, gave him the land that might be flooded without money. Do you think there is still a royal law here? ”

"I said Liu Jiao, what's this? It's just a matter of buying a few less plots of land, and there is no loss. We don't even have enough timber in the shipyard on Fujian Road, if we delay the shipbuilding order, our credit will be finished, the liquidated damages are only a few dollars, our huge industry to support the credit system is priceless, if there is a gap in this system we will be finished. ”

"Why are you scratching so much! These questions are trivial! Very well solved. It's easy for an all-powerful boss to solve these problems, right? Boss? "The king can pat himself on the back.

"Don't be so disgusting. What's wrong with you? Getting to the point! ”

"The boss is really wise, even I can see through my heart, and I really deserve to be a grandmaster of philosophy and psychology. Bianjing's wholesale and logistics have not been affected, and the urban economy and the rural economy are still dual. However, there is already a crisis in the supply of goods to the city and Kyoto, which we have prioritized, and many suppliers and partners have received threats and warnings that they are not allowed to supply and finance us. We are now facing an existential situation. ”

"Why are you talking so serious! Didn't I build up a three-month supply reserve? Even if we open up the supply, we can last for three months. What you have reported is that we have grown so big that the landlord class is frightened, and that there has begun to be-for-tat and struggle on a large scale. We are all people from a market economy, are we still afraid of those first-class means that can't be put on the table? Can't we use our higher education and means? The big stick looks like it's going to work. Personally, I prefer to stone them to death with money, so don't cut them first! I despise anyone who uses anything other than economic means. The currency war is too advanced, so use the power of big industry to teach them a good lesson, let them know what can be provoked and what cannot be provoked. As the world's top entrepreneurs and capital oligarchs, we are different from the rising stars of slave owners, feudal lords, warlords, gate lords, and emerging dynastic royal families who have only used power and force to solve problems in the past few thousand years. ”

Frigi, to put it mildly, did not pay any attention to the old-fashioned landlord elite who were idiots of capital operation. "We never use violence and tongue to solve problems that can be solved with money. What's the difference between them if they're used to solving problems the old way? ”

"Does the boss mean a decapitation tactic or a complete annihilation of the opposition?"

"Do you know why Europe can't win against the United States?"

"You mean there is no resistance from the old forces? How much does it cost? ”

"Stupid? Do you know how to solve the conservative forces back then? That is the bourgeois revolution that flattens all the feudal lords. Aren't they just cut off from their money, and I'll give another one soon? You can declare that as long as you can let go of the wealthy, if you want to fight with us, we will also accompany you, and don't say that I won't give face when the time comes. ”

"Are you trying to buy their influence with public debt?" Liu Xin said that he understood.

Wang Neng couldn't bear to see the bankruptcy of those rich people, "Isn't it too cruel, if it were like the Meiji political axe to reduce the financial burden associated with the "return of the copyright", the political axe gradually recovered the feudal fortunes of the Chinese and scholar clans in the form of public debt compensation, those landlords really have no way to live. ”

"You've been brainwashed by the female spy you played? Knowing that the singer sent to you by the Liu family is a spy, you still sleep together every day? Lao Wang, can't you be like Lao Wang and aspire to marry a foreign princess and go home? Even if you raise the princess of a small tribal country, you can become it! ”

"Yes, they are unkind to us and unjust, there is no need to sympathize with those who oppose us, and besides, they are not against us for survival, and in order to maintain the status of vampires, what is there to sympathize with the feudal lords and big landlords who oppose us on behalf of the capitalist class representing the most advanced productive forces? Those who know the times are handsome, and we only kill those who don't have long eyes, and we won't hurt the innocent. They are all innocent, it is up to them to make their own choices. If we don't do it, the Mongols will do it. At that time, the people who died were not the families of these dozens of diehards. Therefore do not have the kindness of a woman, for our mercy is only to the nation and to the greatest number of people, and not to small families or families. Zhao Shouzhong remembered the roots of degenerate thought he saw when he analyzed the history of secular culture.

"Let's first convince the Empress Dowager Gao that as long as it is conducive to strengthening the centralization of power, no monarch or person in power can refuse. The issuance of public bonds is to use the hands of the central government to kill those chickens who do not open their eyes. ”

"How did bond issuance become a method of killing chickens, why can't I understand it?" Liu Jiao, a technical nerd, began to ask.

"The political axe of the joint dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and the landlord class is the state that we will achieve in the next five to ten years, the bourgeoisie is the big bourgeoisie represented by the oligarchs of agriculture, industry and commerce, not the small and medium-sized and national bourgeoisie, and the landlords are the big landlords with the emperor and the big bureaucrats with high-ranking non-hereditary official posts as the main body, not the small and medium-sized landlords and the local family lords. As long as our power is strong enough, wouldn't it be wonderful to kick out the sparsely numbered upper-class landlords when the time comes, and to govern ourselves? Li Ji said proudly.

"Your ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge is at the top. What does this have to do with issuing bonds to kill chickens? Zhao Shouzhong wondered.

"Don't you know how power and influence come into being and how it disappears? Wealth, force, and propaganda are all sources, and we do not have an advantage, but the building of people's hearts can be built by relying on the above things, or it can be destroyed by a few things. It's easier to destroy than to build. How many emperors and big bureaucrats don't want to occupy all the land under heaven alone? Lending money to the emperor and the central government can buy all the land we want to buy but can't. Under the pressure of the Empress Dowager and the ministers and other high-ranking officials who were bought by our funds and blueprints, does anyone in the local area dare to do anything against them? Capital operation can wipe them out, but I don't want to make too many enemies and be assassinated. Let's take a few sacrificial flags to practice my hands. Liu Xin said.

"Pull out their financial resources, and their influence in all areas will cease to exist. To bankrupt them, I have eighteen methods, and the most labor-saving method is better than the best way to lay out the future. As long as the public bonds are issued, the court of the Great Song Empire will be our stage, and it will be Liu Xin's main work in the future to call for wind and rain and make waves, and to play with the mood of big landlords and feudal lords. ”

"What does the price of public debt have to do with the power of big industry to destroy closed local protectionism?" Wu Qi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"You'll know after three days of reading the headlines in the newspaper."
