Chapter 181: There are a lot of problems

Chen Dingtian saw that this women's battalion began to be gradually disbanded, and the women's battalion troops deployed in Jiangning had begun to return in batches. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the female soldiers in other places, it is slower, because the transmission of orders cannot be so fast. At this time, Chen Dingtian, accompanied by Shi Dinglan, was responsible for looking around around Jiangning. Chen Dingtian also hoped to go to this grassroots village to see the situation, especially since he wanted to copy Capital, but he couldn't completely copy it directly. After all, Capital is a product of Western industrialized society, and I can only blame it for plagiarizing the outline, but I must not directly copy all the content.

However, as long as we understand the nature of exploitation and the process of capitalist exploitation, it is not difficult to understand the process and cost of landlord exploitation. Chen Dingtian began to walk to the countryside under the rule of the Taiping Army, accompanied by Shi Dinglan. However, when Chen Dingtian followed Shi Dinglan to the countryside, he was soon greeted by local Taiping Army officials.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Shi, I'm Zhao Tian, the master here!" A Taiping Army official said.

Shi Machilan next to him took the initiative to explain: "Our Heavenly Kingdom adopts the military system according to the Zhou Dynasty, and adopts the methods of five households as a team, five soldiers as pawns, five pawns as brigades, five brigades as divisions, and so on. Our kingdom of heaven is also a combination of soldiers and peasants, and every household must have a person to be a soldier, which is our characteristic. In this way, we can have enough soldiers and horses to ensure the army. ”

Chen Dingtian felt that there were too many officials in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the officials of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were simply too bloated, much more bloated than the Song Dynasty. Because the official position of this Taiping Army is directly detailed to the five families as a team, and a team chief has been set up. That is to say, the cadres at the most basic level are twenty-five people to support a so-called official. Of course, this is still the most basic, but when it comes to the middle and high-level, officials are far more than that. Because there is not only one person in the high-level yamen, but also its own division of labor, including the department that manages punishment and manages grain. In other words, there are almost less than ten people in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to support a person who is out of work.

"So many officials?" Chen Dingtian said.

Just the two Sima at the most basic level, it is also terrifying. You must know that Chen Dingtian has also seen some remarks on the Internet in later generations, and many people are very keen to say a word called "official-civilian ratio", but this is actually completely rubbish. Chen Dingtian often runs in foreign countries, and those gringos are also quite a few people. There are also a lot of foreigners who have various financial supports, and the Yankees have fifteen to one financial supporters. Of course, although it is nominally a financial support, it does not mean that it is really "out of production". Because when a doctor treats a patient, he is also creating value, creating his due value.

All kinds of service-oriented units, these are also creating their own value, and even many are self-financing. In fact, such people cannot be regarded as "officials" completely, only those who do not create any value, cannot create any value, can be regarded as "officials". Hospitals, educating people from various research institutes, and other industries that can create value, even if there is a part of the government subsidy, it cannot be regarded as "officials", because many of them are self-financed. It is unreasonable to even regard the people of state-owned enterprises as "officials", because state-owned enterprises are also creating value, and creating value means supporting themselves, not allocating funds from the state to feed themselves.

But looking at the situation in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the situation in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is obviously not good, and there are obviously problems everywhere.

"Did your captain take part in the labor?" Chen Dingtian asked.

The division commander Zhao Tian replied: "If you don't participate, since you are all officials, why do you still want to participate in labor?" Anyway, there is a holy treasury, then we are not in a hurry! ”

Chen Dingtian also understood how serious the bloated institutions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were, almost ten households of the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom supported an official, and the so-called ratio of officials to the people was about twenty to one. Of course, this seems to be similar to the future generations on the surface, but this also depends on the situation. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was an agrarian society, and the production capacity of this agrarian society was obviously insufficient, and even so many "officials" managed it? There was no need at all, the agricultural society of the late Qing Dynasty was simple in production, and the social problems were relatively much simpler, and there was no need for such a complex bureaucratic system to manage.

As for more than 100 years later, that society will obviously be industrialized, and the social problems will be much more complicated. As for the side of the industry after many years, it is also very complex, involving the agricultural industry service industry and even many industries, the end of the Qing Dynasty is agriculture, the industry is simple. The industry is so simple, and the complexity of agricultural management is actually very low, and there is not much complexity. However, it takes about 20 people to support a person who is out of work, which is definitely not possible.

Chen Dingtian and Shi Dinglan walked in, and soon found that those people were worshipping, which made Chen Dingtian frown.

"Are you all going to worship?" Chen Dingtian asked.

"Of course, we all have to believe in God, so we pray every day!" That division commander Zhao Tian said.

Shi Machiran immediately asked, "Isn't it just that you are required to pray every Sunday?" Why do you pray every day? ”

Zhao Tian replied: "Of course, we have to pray every day, otherwise how can we show our loyalty to Heaven and our belief in God?" ”

"How long do you have to do a service?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Zhao Tian replied, "We need at least one hour at a time?" ”

"Why so long? Even if you worship every day, why do you need an hour? Ishimachi asked again.

Zhao Tian replied, "If we don't spend more time, then how can we show respect for God?" What's more, I don't think an hour is enough, and other guys have heard that it will be raised to an hour and a half, so I have to consider whether to increase it! Originally, I heard that some people extended the service hours every day, but they were also reused and promoted. ”

Chen Dingtian scolded: "Play the piano indiscriminately!" ”

Shi Machilan's face also turned black, this is just nonsense! Chen Dingtian knew that this was the religious system at work, although the high-level Yang Xiuqing could suppress that Hong Xiuquan, but the influence of this grassroots religion was surprisingly huge. Many grassroots officials below the division level are also from religious backgrounds. In addition, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded on religion, and it valued religion far more than anything else. As a result, this tedious and meaningless religious act was put on the first level by those guys, which is actually equivalent to madness.

This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not only had many officials, but also various officials and bureaucrats were seriously corrupt. However, this puts religion in the first place, and even puts this religion in the first ranks, and then it will inevitably lead to this kind of formalistic style. Chen Dingtian has been to many countries, but in fact, he has not been to those countries where religious forces are huge. In countries where religion is very strong, "formalism" is often particularly serious. In order to conform to the so-called "doctrine", there are many, many restrictions, and those that are beneficial to religion are ranked first. As for those that are not conducive to religion, but are conducive to the development of the country, they will inevitably be ranked very second.

In this country, which is under the control of the religious system, all kinds of religions that have no meaning, no meaning for production and social progress, are made very grand. Those who really do practical things are listed as the last. This thinking is really strange and terrifying.

"The formalism of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is so serious, and the formalism is also used in the wrong place, and the thinking is also wrong!" Chen Dingtian thought.

Although many people criticize the formalism of later officials, thinking that they are trying to beautify those economic development data, and even all kinds of development formalism. However, the "formalism" of later generations is fundamentally different from the formalism of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The formalism of later generations of officials is to pretend to be political achievements and development, but although he "pretends to be development," it can be shown that their thinking is still normal thinking, and it is still a normal thinking. Because the thinking of later generations is that only after development can they be promoted, and the creation of economic value and the prosperity of the people are the basis for promotion. Even if he is mixing data with water, it is actually proving that there is no problem with the overall social thought.

However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom obviously had an important influence on religion over the development of the people's livelihood, and it would rather promote those who were religious than those who developed and produced well. Everything that is beneficial to religion will be promoted to the first place, and those that are not beneficial to religion will also be listed later, even if it is beneficial to the people's livelihood.

Chen Dingtian took Shi Machilan to this village, which is a larger village. Those people are concentrating on the so-called "worship", Chen Dingtian can obviously see that these guys are obviously very helpless, and these people obviously don't like this qualified situation.

"These people, looking at this expression, is obviously similar to the situation when I was in school, when I was caught by the teacher to listen to those chicken soup texts!" Chen Dingtian complained in his heart.

These people obviously do not understand what the so-called religion is, and China has no tradition of religious belief for a long time. Although everyone doesn't say that God blesses, this is not a belief in God. China is not religious in nature, and the Chinese only believe in the hope that the religion will bless him with something. The religious beliefs of the Chinese are actually very shallow, and there are few fanatical believers in China, even including in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As for these people, they were obviously "posed" and made a show for others to see.

Chen Dingtian walked to one of the so-called worship believers and said, "Are you religious? ”

"I believe I believe it!" He hastened to say.

Chen Dingtian asked, "What is the name of God?" ”

"I dare not say the name of God!"

Chen Dingtian then asked: "I asked you to say that you don't even understand God's name, so how do you show that you believe in religion?" ”

"Called...... Call...... Called......"

Chen Dingtian really knew, this guy didn't believe in religion at all. In fact, these people at the grassroots level of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not believe in religion at all, and it was simply impossible to expect them to be religious. In fact, this situation is not only these, there are many examples, and these are also very direct proof that this Taiping army is actually completely playing the piano at all. Therefore, Chen Dingtian affirmed that a religious state cannot develop. At first, it may be possible to rely on religion to unite people for a while, but in the later stages, the consequences are unimaginable. Religion is essentially a feudal superstition, not even philosophy. The essence of religion is not reversed. Movement, but once the religion is put in. Politicization, giving politics to the sect. Indoctrination, the consequences are unimaginable.

Originally, it was two things that had nothing to do with each other, but they were pulled together, so could there be no problems? There were too many problems in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even inferior to those ordinary rebel armies. There were too many internal problems in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so perhaps the root cause of the decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was later laid. Such a bane is not so easy to clean up, at the beginning of relying on religion to unite people, but in the middle and later periods, the consequences are unimaginable.

"After all, the side door is the side door left road, maybe it can rise quickly at the beginning, but in the middle and late stages, then his unfavorable side will inevitably show. A country that relies on feudal superstition to rule will inevitably rely on feudal superstition to maintain its authority in the end, so it will inevitably reject science. The consequence of rejecting science is that in the end, it will be even more backward. Chen Dingtian thought.

Religious regimes that rely on superstition to establish authority are bound to be anti-science in order to maintain their right to rule. Didn't the West burn Bruno and many other scientists back then, but this was actually to maintain the authority of the so-called religion. Therefore, once those religions take power, they will inevitably be anti-science, because they rely on religion to rule, and they will inevitably rely on religion, deception and superstition.

For a regime to rely on religion, it is also a side-door, and the side-door path will never go far. Although many Xianxia novels may like to join the devil's way, the country is different from Xianxia novels, fighting the world is an upright behavior, and governing the world is also based on real political means, and there is no room for the slightest sideshow.

"It seems that these so-called grassroots religious influences must be abolished as soon as possible, otherwise this religious influence will become more and more huge, which will be a huge impact on the political power held by Yang Xiuqing. Once these people who rely on religion to ascend to higher and higher positions in the future, they will become people who support Hong Xiuquan, which will weaken Yang Xiuqing's power. I have to support Yang Xiuqing to undermine this religious influence, otherwise they will definitely have problems in the future. Only by striking them all down can we ensure the normal development of the future. Chen Dingtian thought.

"Disband, you don't have to worship here, you can do what you have to do!" Chen Dingtian said.

When the people heard about the dissolution, they immediately hurried away. (To be continued.) )
