Chapter 177: Exploitation without Changing Medicine
Chen Dingtian began to write his so-called masterpiece, anyway, he copied a paragraph from Lao Ma's Capital, so that things are actually very simple, and they don't need too much trouble. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Anyway, Lao Ma's Capital has not yet been written, and Lao Ma's Capital is still in the making, so it has not been really published. If it weren't for the funding of Lao En, a capitalist, Lao Ma wouldn't have been able to write this book! However, sometimes history is so paradoxical, as a descendant of capitalists, Lao En, who was even a capitalist in his early years, will actually support Lao Ma.
As for the many revolutionary leaders in China who came later, many of them were not from low backgrounds, but on the contrary, they sided with the proletarians. I don't know if the world is crazy, or what. However, Chen Dingtian knew that once his book spread to the world, the influence would be amazing, and the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable. But this has nothing to do with Chen Dingtian, he can't wait for the world to be chaotic for a while, strive for chaos, and make turmoil everywhere, such wealth and China's interests! If we don't make the Western world turbulent in terms of ideology and political situation, then where will there be a peaceful day in China!
Soon, Chen Dingtian also copied the paragraph about exploitation in the old Ma's capital, and then began to print. After the printing was completed, Chen Dingtian personally took the book to Tianjing, found Yang Xiuqing, a group of people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then promoted his own book.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my book is called On Exploitation, and it took me many years of research to create it. It is my many years of research on the kind of landlords in China in the past, so that I can effectively study it. I think that many of you have relatively low backgrounds in the past, so you should have experienced similar situations, and I will analyze them one by one now. ”
Chen Dingtian introduced this exploitation to those in the middle and high ranks of the Taiping Army, and of course Chen Dingtian could not talk much about the industrialized society, he only talked about the exploitation of landlords in China. In particular, the exploitation of the landlord is carried out through land ownership, and the fruits of labor are exploited without compensation through land ownership, so that surplus value can be obtained free of charge. As for these Taiping soldiers, when they saw this thing, they were immediately shocked. Zeng Chen Dingtian actually made the process of exploitation clear, and almost explained the process of exploitation in the most simple language.
Why did this theory of capital cause a sensation, and why did he have such a high status in the hearts of ordinary workers and peasants? In fact, that is the theory of capital itself is not an absolutely profound knowledge, and his focus is to write those complex economic processes in the most simple language, as long as a person who is coarse and ink will understand. The complex theoretical process of economics is not understood by ordinary people at the grassroots level, and even many laymen do not understand it. Of course, there are even quite a few corporate capitalists themselves who are aware of this process but do not know why.
But when this theory of exploitation was proposed, not only the common people understood this process, but even at the level of the capitalists, they were shocked. So this explains the process in the most simple language, so that many workers begin to realize, and this is the point. Otherwise, if a complex economic process comes out, ordinary people will not be able to understand it!
Many of these high-ranking members of the Taiping Army were tenants back then, and they must have been shocked by renting other people's land for a living.
"That's how I was back then! That's right, that's it! Li Xiucheng said.
With Li Xiucheng's words, many high-ranking members of the Taiping Army also began to think about this process, weren't they directly deprived of a lot of surplus value by this process in the past? They didn't feel anything unreasonable in the past, after all, if they use other people's land, they will have to rent it to others! But now that they see this, they find that those landlords seem to be a little unsuitable! Isn't it tragic that they almost rely on land ownership, that is, any fluttering title deed, to deprive them of their surplus value? In the past, they felt normal, but now under Chen Dingtian's explanation, they all feel very unreasonable. Because why can they get something for nothing, work hard for themselves, and have to be taken away a lot of things?
"We can't do that, it seems that we want to build a kingdom of heaven free from exploitation." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy said.
Chen Dingtian asked, "Oh? Who are you? ”
An older man said, "Yucheng, don't speak, where is your share in speaking?" ”
"Well, Mr. Chen, I am Chen Chengrong, and I can be regarded as Mr. Chen's family. This is my nephew, Chen Yucheng. Today, I originally wanted to bring my nephew to see the world, but I didn't expect it to be abrupt! Chen Chengrong said.
Chen Dingtian hurriedly explained: "It's not abrupt, it's not abrupt. Actually, nothing! ”
This young man is actually Chen Yucheng, one of the famous generals in the later period of the Taiping Army, almost named after Li Xiucheng. Not only is he younger than Li Xiucheng, but it is a pity that he was caught too early by the Qing army, otherwise he might have achieved more.
However, Chen Dingtian went on to explain: "It is not easy to build a heavenly kingdom without exploitation. ”
Li Xiucheng immediately asked: "Isn't there no exploitation in our holy treasury now?" ”
Chen Dingtian directly and unceremoniously asked: "Everyone, all of you here, who hasn't used the wealth in the Holy Treasury to satisfy his selfish desires?" Who dares to pat their chests here, and have not used an additional copper plate and a grain of grain in the Holy Treasury to satisfy their extra selfish desires? Who can pat their chests and say so confidently? ”
When Chen Dingtian asked this unceremoniously and directly, the high-level officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who were doing it were also silent, including Shi Dakai, who couldn't confidently pat his chest and say that he had not used the things in this holy treasury to satisfy his selfish desires. For example, building your own mansion to meet your various private needs, all of these are the same, and the difference is just how much.
Therefore, this holy treasury is also exploitative, not completely unexploited. You keep saying that you don't exploit, but you satisfy your own selfish desires. Of course, I don't intend to blame you for this, I just want to make it clear that exploitation cannot be completely eliminated in a short period of time. Because none of you have really reached such high morals, it is impossible to expect ordinary people to do it.
Chen Dingtian told them that it was impossible to eliminate the so-called exploitation in a short period of time. Because people's ideology and morality have not yet reached this point, it would only be counterproductive to reluctantly do it. There is no absolutely excellent system in this world, only whether it is suitable or not. If communism is played at a time when the productive forces and people's ideology and morality have not been reached, it will definitely be a dead end.
Therefore, Chen Dingtian will not agree with Yang Xiuqing's radical ideas. Nothing can be too radical, even if the ancient Chinese said that "too much", this is actually a very primitive truth. It's too much and doesn't fit the actual situation, and that's a very appropriate reason. But there are many times when the words of this ancestor are forgotten, and it is easy to overcorrect. Yang Xiuqing's Heavenly Country acre system is actually a good idea, but this era does not have this condition.
"Let me say that your so-called holy treasury and the return of land to the public are not really preventing exploitation. On the contrary, it is you who have borrowed privileges and borrowed regimes to exploit those below. In fact, you have used the power in your hands to take possession of all the land, and in this way you have exploited the people. This one is essentially the same, and there is not much difference. It's just that the landlords have changed from private ownership in the past to the landlords who are now under public ownership, and then exploit them with privileges. Even your officials at all levels are exploited layer by layer, and in the end the people are miserable. ”
Chen Dingtian also has some understanding of the situation in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In fact, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was somewhat similar to the so-called People's Commune in the early days, that is, it was too finely managed, and the power of the leadership was too great. In particular, many commune leaders at the grassroots level have some power in their hands, and they are also the leaders of the cadres and the tail of the army. In this way, they are not only local villagers, but also cadres of various brigades and commanders, so it is easy to have problems in their status as the head of the army. On the one hand, you are a member of the commune, and on the other side is a small family, and when the ideological realm cannot be reached, it is easy to have problems.
The identity of such a soldier is very embarrassing, on the one hand, it is necessary to say that there is no big power, but there are a lot of small powers. is like many government scribes in the Qing Dynasty, on the one hand, they can't rise if they want to, but they also have some power. They have no future for development, so naturally they will not cherish their reputation and feathers like those formal cadres. Sometimes, with a longer-term future, those officials tend not to do the kind of self-defeating thing. And these grassroots cadres want to say that they don't have much power, but they have no future, so they naturally want to find ways to reap the benefits of their "small family."
Therefore, in fact, in the case that everyone's ideological realm cannot be reached, rash and complete public ownership is also a big problem. The foundation of private ownership is too deep to be reversed in a short period of time. Especially under such a public ownership system, if the ideological realm cannot be completely reached a high enough level, it will cause more trouble.
This is also the way in which the ownership and use rights were separated, so that they could compromise with each other.
"You have organized the peasants in the manner of the army, and this can easily lead to a lot of redundant officials. When the time comes, all kinds of official positions will be set up in the same way as the army, and in the end it will only cause more trouble. Those officials will use the power in their hands to exploit them, so that it is not real public ownership, but has become a tool of exploitation using power, and there is no real change. You may not be aware of it, but you are actually using your power to your advantage. Chen Dingtian said directly.
Those guys were all embarrassed one by one, and obviously couldn't justifiably refute them. However, Chen Dingtian did not directly scold them, because the characteristics of this era are not so easy to change. The idea of private ownership is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so such a social structure and ideological realm are out of touch, which will cause many problems. It was supposed to be a good policy, but it was crooked by these guys. But this can't really blame them completely, because people in this era, whoever sits in that position, most of them will be like this. Even if there are a few phenomenal people occasionally, it will not be able to change the general trend.
"So, I think you guys have to change, especially not to bring in all the so-called problems, understand?" Chen Dingtian said.
Chen Dingtian looked at Yang Xiuqing, he first wanted to say this to Yang Xiuqing, obviously his main purpose was to give Yang Xiuqing a listen. This Yang Xiuqing was the de facto ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, representing secular power, not religious side. Although he was nominally a believer, he was not really religious, but more of a representative of secular power. However, Yang Xiuqing is obviously too idealistic, too much believing in the moral character of human beings. In fact, his own history has also been corrupted and degenerated, and their thoughts are the thoughts of the ancients after all, and they cannot transcend too much. Social progress is not radical progress in a short period of time, and Yang Xiuqing is obviously too much to take it for granted.
Of course, this is not that he is incapable, and some capable people will also make some "low-level mistakes". This is also a common problem of many idealists, who make things too idealistic and end up causing a lot of problems.
Yang Xiuqing's face was not good, because of course he knew that this Chen Dingtian was telling him that he could not make such radical progress. Don't easily believe that those subordinates will not decay and deteriorate, although many policies are good, but in this situation where everyone has selfish intentions, the good policies will be crooked, this is very normal.
is too radical, Yang Xiuqing is obviously not in line with the reality of the situation, and will collapse in the end.
"Brother Chen, you can go in and talk with me!" Yang Xiuqing said.
Chen Dingtian and Yang Xiuqing walked to the inner room, ready to have a detailed and detailed discussion, especially this process did not want to be heard by outsiders. However, many people know that this time it is likely to affect the policies of Yang Xiuqing and even the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"This Chen Dingtian is not simple! Although we don't have an official position in the kingdom of heaven, the king of the east attaches great importance to him, even as a guest and friend, and is a very important guest. In addition, he is the husband of Zhou Xiuying of the Heaven and Earth Society, so no one dares to treat him like this. "A lot of people have this idea in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
