In the time and space in which our Emperor Zhu lived, there seemed to be a great confusion in the criteria for dividing socialism and capitalism! The economic basis of the Republic of Poland, which flaunted socialism and was established under the direct guidance and assistance of Marx and Engels, the leaders of the International Workingmen's Association, was actually private family farms and corporatized agricultural cooperatives. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info. ybdu。

And the economic basis of Tsarist Russia, which was striving to move towards capitalism, was actually the rural communes with communal (collective) ownership of rural land! Moreover, the revolutionary teachers in Warsaw Castle now believe that private property is inextinguishable at present or in the future (some think it cannot be eliminated at present, some think it cannot be eliminated in the future)! So the model of family farms plus agricultural cooperatives in Poland is the best...... As long as this model allows Polish farmers to achieve universal prosperity and has the spare capacity to support the development of an internationally competitive food processing industry.

At the same time, His Majesty the Tsar of Constantinople insisted that public ownership of land was a necessary condition for the development of capitalism in Russia and the basis for the stability of the Russian Empire...... And in Warsaw Castle, the leader of the Russian revolution, Mikhail Brown, who was ostracized by Marx, Engels and the Polish Red Party. Bakunin's view of communal ownership of land was exactly the same as that of Alexander II! Well, this is the view of the whole Russian Land and Freedom Society, and their disagreement with the Tsar is only that the land question has not been completely "solved" in the process of abolishing serfdom - that is, the land of the Russian landlords has not been distributed to the Russian peasants, no, it should be the rural communes.

In fact, as far as Alexander II personally thought. He also wanted to divide the Russian land among the rural communes, but his rule was based on the aristocratic landlords, and it was therefore impossible to complete the reform by expropriating the nobility.

"Perhaps we can follow the example of Poland and establish a general agricultural cooperative." Alexander II did not have the courage to touch the question of the land of the nobility, and could only try some other means to help the peasants. "I know that Engels was a very brilliant manager, and that the success of China's industrialization was inseparable from the plan he had made. We should learn from him, not only in rural reform, but also in industrial and railway construction. ”

The tsar did not want to say that he would learn from China, because that would be too faceless. As for studying Engels...... That's no problem, Engels was a German, and Alexander II was a fellow countryman, both of whom were his own people.

Alexander II thought and said, "I think. We should set up a General Committee on Industrialization. Specialized in the study and formulation of policies for the development of Russian industry. At the same time, it is also possible to create a Russian royal consortium with the property of the Russian royal family for direct investment in industry and railways. He glanced at the sick crown prince, "Nikolai." You immediately return to Petersburg. Go and Konstantin. Grand Duke Nikolayevich, Nikolai. Grand Duke Nikolayevich, Mikhail. Grand Duke Nikolayevich and His Majesty the Emperor discussed the possibility of forming a royal consortium. ”

……

The news of the establishment of a royal consortium in the Eastern Roman-Russian Empire spread rapidly. Alexander II has not yet been finalized. has already made the city full of wind and rain, and even Emperor Zhu who is far away in Yingtianfu Hot Spring Palace knows it.

"Regardless of the Russian royal family's ability to do business, they are now forming a royal consortium. The establishment of the General Committee for Industrialization and the establishment of the General Agricultural Cooperatives were several initiatives. All of this illustrates the fact that in the next 10 to 20 years, the focus of the development of the Eastern Roman-Russian Empire will shift from military to internal affairs. According to what we say, Alexander II is going to repair the virtue of the government. As for how well this moral government is cultivated, I think it will directly determine the outcome of future wars and the survival of the country...... Zheng Wang, Zuo Xiang, Luo Xiang, Liu Peng, what do you think? Shouldn't we also cultivate more moral politics? ”

Emperor Zhu was slowly telling Zheng Hong, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Zenan, Liu Peng and other four people his opinions, his expression was not unusual, and he looked like he was in his chest. During this time, he also shifted his main focus from military and great power confrontation to internal affairs and economic construction. He couldn't be clearer about how the First World War in history was won or lost, not who used troops militarily like gods, but whose industry was stronger and the economic foundation was more solid, of course...... Who else has a larger population! The Ming Dynasty seems to have an absolute advantage in the last item, but the large population also means that more attention needs to be paid to internal issues, including economic development and people's lives.

In the past 20 years, Emperor Zhu has paid great attention to economic development, and it can be said that he has promoted the economy by unscrupulous means. But for people's lives, it can be said that it is quite neglected! Although under his rule, the per capita income and per capita food possession of the Ming people have been increasing at a relatively rapid rate.

Even in the Han provinces, where per capita income was still low, the average annual wage of ordinary machine workers was more than 36 silver dollars, while the average annual wage of agricultural workers was 12 silver dollars. As for the richest provinces of Lanfang, it is very easy to find a job that can earn 100 silver dollars a year. In the Northeast, West China and Eastern Siberia, it is not difficult to earn 50 to 60 silver dollars a year. As for the Kingdom of California, which is not currently within the territory of the Ming Empire, jobs with an annual income of more than 200 silver dollars are also everywhere.

It needs to be noted here that the Ming and Han lands only have a lower per capita income, but there are more opportunities to obtain a really high income than the border areas. The average annual salary of skilled workers is two or three hundred, while the starting annual salary of engineers is more than one thousand two hundred silver dollars.

It can be said that the Chinese people who have been tossed by Zhu Jishi for almost 20 years have actually lived a "rich" life that their ancestors did not expect for generations, and the more enterprising the people are, the richer they are. This is probably the reason why Emperor Zhu tossed around like this, and no one actually rebelled -- those who had the courage to rebel would have gone to the South Seas, Northeast China, or North America long ago.

Therefore, when I heard Emperor Zhu say that he wanted to cultivate virtue and politics, the four important ministers sitting here already knew that their emperor Lao Tzu was going to toss the common people again.

Zheng Hong, the king of Yanping, took over the topic and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you must still be thinking about the peasants of the Han land, right?" In fact, their current life is much better than that of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and they are all grateful to the emperor. ”

Zhu Jishi smiled: "Lao Zheng, you know how to say good things in front of me." But I don't remember any place where I lost favor to the peasants, and if the peasants of the Ming Dynasty were still able to live, it was not my favor, they did it themselves. His tone was already lowered, "But I really want to make some fuss about the peasants, not only the Han farmers, but the entire Ming peasants must be moved by me!" ”

Sure enough, it's going to be a toss! Zuo Zongtang and Luo Zenan exchanged glances, and Luo Youxiang said, "Your Majesty, do you want to learn from Russia or Poland?" ”

Zhu Jishi waved his hand: "I have my own national conditions, how can I blindly copy things from Poland and Russia?" The set that Engels engaged in in Poland originated from our Ming Dynasty, but it was different from our Ming Dynasty. The equal division of land in Poland was not possible in our Ming Dynasty. And it doesn't make any sense, Poland has 100 million mu of farmland with 5 million people, while I have nearly 500 million peasants and less than 2.5 billion mu of arable land. The difference between the two is more than four times, how can they be emulated? ”

It is true that the agricultural situation in the Ming and Poland is too different. One is that there are fewer people and more land, and the land is fertile. The equal division of land combined with agricultural cooperatives would make the peasants rich. On the contrary, the situation of the Ming Dynasty was that there were many people and few land, and the result of equal distribution could only be general poverty rather than average wealth.

"Then the emperor means to follow the example of Poland to establish a general agricultural cooperative?" Liu Peng stroked the three locks of long hair under his chin and thought, "Now there are several agricultural products chambers of commerce under the Industry and Commerce Promotion Association, why don't we merge them and transform them into a general agricultural cooperative?" ”

Zhu Jishi nodded and said lightly: "The General Agricultural Cooperative is going to do it, but it is not enough to be an agricultural cooperative. I also wanted to set up a Daming Agricultural Bank to help wealthy peasants with good families and good management to further expand the scale of their own farms. (To be continued.) )
