Chapter 401: Profit-oriented

Shi Bufan taught these students in the hope that they would be able to truly understand how to be officials in the future. It is very important to pay attention to www.biquge.info methods and know-how in the process of writing, fun, and cabinetry, especially in the process of specific governance. Many ancient officials have just entered the officialdom, and their eyes are black, and it is easy to have problems. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty, many officials did not have real governance experience. However, later I found out a set of governance system, which is actually for those new departments to watch how to deal with government affairs and learn how to deal with government affairs. This is a supplement to the shortcomings in the eight-strand text.

However, in this era, Shi Bufan must teach them, otherwise I am afraid that there is really no one who can teach and learn. They were already a lot behind those big families, so Shi Bufan had to add some and replenish them in advance. But in fact, there is no need to add too much, that is, the basics of economics, and all kinds of things to pay attention to.

"Think about it, what should you do?" Shi Bufan asked.

After a while, Li Yifu also thought about it for a long time, and then soon thought of it and had an idea.

"Mountain Chief, I have thought about it, since the land is restricted, this not only hits a blow to a vicious annexation, but also a blow to a benign annexation, which is not advisable. But if we can't increase the cost of land, why don't we increase the cost of manpower? Just then, my father was a county governor in Jiannan Province, and my father once mentioned that in the early years of the founding of the country, there were few people in land, and many land-owning Tiandong often had to pay more to share with tenants, and even those tenants still loved not to come, because there were few people in land, and they were lacking everywhere anyway, and they did not lack land to cultivate. Even many people are not willing to go to Tiandong and even the scholars to farm. Even if the gentry seem to be privileged, they have to give up to these tenants to a certain extent. ”

However, as the population increased, the land was annexed, and instead those tenants begged for Tian Dong, Tian Dong took the opportunity to offer a high price and ask for more shares. Some even ask for fifty percent as soon as they open their mouths, and the people have nothing left at all throughout the year. “

"If we have problems with land restrictions, why can't we find a way to deal with the population. When there are few people and more land, the value of the tenants doubles, but if there are more people and less land, the tenants will instead yield to Tiandong. We might as well consider simply competing with the owners of those lands for population. As long as we solve the problem of the vast majority of the population, we can have it; work, and the income is very rich, so the people will naturally choose to engage in other industries. At that time, a large number of people were deprived, and the income through this way of renting would cause the cost to rise. Even large families have a large population and need more share. When the tenants ask for more, they will naturally have less. Once there are vacancies everywhere and there is no need to tie the people to the farmland, then we can completely expropriate a large number of people from the farmland, and the traditional tenants will become more and more unpromising and costly, and the tenant method will inevitably collapse. ”

Moreover, according to what the mountain chief said, there are not only vicious annexations of land, but also benign annexations. With the same land area, the jobs provided by the industrial and commercial industry are 100 times or even more than 1,000 times that of ordinary people with the same area of land. Originally, it could only solve the livelihood of one household, but now it can solve hundreds of households and thousands of households, so a large number of agricultural people have been deprived, and Tian Dong has to stay and give more shares in order to retain the tenants. When the share reaches a certain amount, in the end, the cost of this kind of lease is no longer enough to maintain Tian Dong's interests, and this will inevitably collapse. ”

Shi Bufan immediately couldn't help but applaud and said, "Okay, it seems that you have really learned, that's right, this is the method." Now do you know why many nobles don't like war, or even want to expand their territory? Because wars and territorial expansion will lead to an increase in land and a decrease in population, the population resources will not be so excessive. On the contrary, an increase in land will further dilute their wealth. This is the reason why the landlords of the Shi clan are the most reluctant to open up their territory and develop industry and commerce, and even suppress industry and commerce! ”

Li Yifu can be regarded as seeing the essence of the landlord class, so that the general landlord class is actually the most opposed to industry in essence, and this is not because of Confucianism. It is because the nature of the landlord class is also like this, and Confucianism cannot be blamed for this. A country cannot truly industrialize unless it overthrows the landlord class. Because industrialization will absorb a large number of people into employment, providing far more jobs than in agriculture. The same amount of land can provide at least hundreds of times as many jobs, so there will be a lot of competition with them for human resources.

Human resources, this Shi Bufan understands this truth very well. Why did Fang Xuanling support Tuyuhun to get another salt road, isn't this because he was afraid that boiling salt would rob them of a lot of human resources in Shandong, and then he would be forced to increase the share of the phone, so that the interests of the landlords of the Shi clan would also be damaged.

Therefore, China's industrialization is not because of Confucianism, but because of the nature of the landlord class, that is, the nature of anti-industry and anti-development, and it is the class interests that are at work, not the academic schools.

Since it is not feasible to find a way in terms of land, it is better to find a way in terms of human resources. Through the backlog of human resources, absorb more human resources, so as to increase the cost of landlord rent, and in the end can not rent at all, then everything is in vain.

"But what if the landlord ends up using the cooperative method, then hires workers to farm for a long time, adopts new farming methods, and takes the initiative to think about how to improve the technology, and then reduces the cost? Isn't that a wasted ride? Princess Runan asked.

When Shi Bufan heard this, he immediately laughed out loud and said, "Princess, you say this, is he still a landlord?" If he did this, then he would not be a landlord, but the owner of the agricultural reclamation company! “

In fact, there is also a possibility that there is such a situation as Princess Runan said, and some of those landlords have to change their business methods because of rising costs. We have changed from the traditional tenant method to long-term cultivation by employing workers, and improved planting techniques and adopted new planting techniques, which have led to higher yields and lower costs.

But if this is the case, then this is not a landlord. The landlord economic model was essentially a small-scale peasant economy, exploiting the fruits of labor through tenants. However, once this corporatized management method is adopted, then he is no longer a landlord, he has changed in essence, and he is not a landlord.

This is the same as the Jiangnan Haojia, the Jiangnan area is short of human resources, and the cost of human resources is extremely tight, so once the Jiangnan Haojia adopts the cooperative method recommended by the situation, they are no longer landlords. In fact, they have been changed in essence and have become capitalists, nothing more than capitalists engaged in agricultural production.

In fact, the landlord is not a simple noun, nor is he a simple social class, but what he represents behind him is a set of economic models and a set of economic production and exploitation methods. Once the mode of exploitation is changed, once it is changed to the mode of exploitation of the capitalists, then it is no longer essentially a landlord. In fact, they have become capitalists in the farming industry. This is the core truth that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the mode of exploitation has changed, and they are no longer landlords. The landlord does not represent the owner of the land, but a way of exploitation, an economic model.

Therefore, Shi Bufan is not afraid of them changing, but he is afraid that they will not change. If they change on their own initiative, then they are no longer landlords in nature. In this way, the kernel has been completely replaced, and it is not the same as in the past.

"Okay, you guys think about it more in the future, don't have a headache and a pain in your feet. You think more about other things, especially about the nature of things themselves. I hope you can remember the contradictions I said, the world is full of contradictions. Everything has to be seen in two ways, and land annexation is not all bad, you have to carefully distinguish whether this annexation is a good thing or a bad thing. It's up to him to see if he can generate more additional value. If it can generate more additional value, it is a virtuous merger. It will not be able to generate additional value, but will reduce its own output value, which is also a vicious merger. ”

"Obviously, the value of using land for industry and commerce is much higher than that of agriculture alone, so it is a benign annexation, not a vicious annexation as most people think. So as long as you recognize the difference, then you can also accurately judge whether you should stop it or not. ”

"And, whenever you have a problem, it's not just a headache. In particular, this kind of policy that affects a country and affects the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, you should take a long-term view, and don't have a headache and a pain in the face, otherwise you will meet the needs of the present generation, but it will stifle the long-term development of the future. For example, the more land there is, the higher the tax, which ostensibly curbs land annexation, but it also curbs industry and commerce. It will also curb the ability to increase grain production, because under the thinking of ordinary people and small farmers, they are not willing to take risks and change their old production methods. They're the most old-fashioned, so this one is very dangerous. So I hope you will deduce more, and don't just copy other policies, understand? ”

"If you become an official one day, the power in your hands is not only a power, but also a responsibility. With responsibility, every stroke you make on top of the official document will bring about a huge change. So I hope you will be cautious, cautious! Because the life and death of hundreds of people are in your hands, I hope you can truly understand the key to this, and every time you issue a policy, you must combine your own reality, and do not blindly copy it. ”

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. I am very satisfied with Li Yifu's answers, I am very satisfied. ”

The students immediately stood up together and said, "Thank you for your teachings!" ”

Li Yifu's answer sheet made Shi Bufan really satisfied. This kind of plundering the population forces those landlords to change, and if they do not change, they will inevitably be swept into the dustbin of history in the end. And if they are converted, then they will no longer be landlords in the true sense of the word, but capitalists in the agricultural industry, businessmen engaged in the agricultural industry.

Different ways of exploiting. Creates a different way of thinking. This mode of exploitation by the landlords is backward and cannot add more value. This kind of exploitation is also the simplest, but it is also the most inhibiting of the development of science and technology, not conducive to the industrialization of the country, and even not conducive to the country's external development.

But when a mode of exploitation changes, so does the way of thinking. From opposing scientific development in the past, he will suddenly become enthusiastic about pioneering, and from opposing scientific development in the past, he will become a hardcore supporter of science. This is the core of the superstructure in which the economic base is determined. This is not that those people have changed a group of people, but that their interest orientation has changed, and their interest orientation has changed, which has also caused a change in thinking.

Today they can find the theoretical basis for despising business in Confucianism, and tomorrow they will also be able to find in Confucianism the so-called theoretical basis for attaching importance to business, using military force, and opening up foreign countries.

Because they are all a group of politicians, politicians are the most undisciplined, they can turn water into oil, even hit elephants into refrigerators, and even prove the rationality of producing 130,000 catties per mu. Therefore, it is naturally very easy to find the theoretical basis for attaching importance to commerce and foreign development with military force from Confucianism, and there is no need to worry about them at the root. The reason why the Qin army was strong was because the Qin soldiers could get land and promotions by killing the enemy, which was where their interests were. The Shang Yang method changed the interests of the soldiers, and they naturally tried their best to kill the enemy, not to change the soldiers' minds.

For changing the thinking of the ancients, Shi Bufan is actually not in a hurry at this point, because Shi Bufan knows very well that as long as they change their interest orientation, as long as they are allowed to gain benefits in this and obtain real benefits, they will do much more positive than you imagined, and even more crazy and shameless than you, a traverser. As a traverser, you don't have to go to great lengths to change the thinking of the ancients, as long as you change the interest orientation of the ancients, they will do countless times crazier than you imagined, and if the interest orientation changes, their thinking will also change, and even more active than you.

And if you don't change the interest orientation of the ancients, no matter how much you publicize, then in the end the interest orientation is different, no matter how great your power is, you will face the day of death. Because after you die, people will still counterattack, Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng are a lesson from the past, and people will die! (To be continued.) )
