Chapter 116: You can't turn back the wheel of history

In the second hall of the county government, the four giants of the Shuoxian county government are in a meeting, and Yang Jiaxiang, the secretary of the office, is reporting below.

"Chen County Order, Zhang County Cheng, Sun Zhushu, and Fang County Lieutenant, now more than 20 woodcutters are kneeling outside, obviously they all hope that our government will give them a way out. Because of the honeycomb coal ordered by Chen County, these woodcutters were cut off from their livelihoods, so they all came to petition. ”

"Of course, it is now obvious that these woodcutters came to make trouble after being provoked by the scholar named Wei Feng. This Wei Feng has always wanted to become an official, but he has never had the opportunity. He wanted to rely on this incident this time to be a model for the people to ask for his life, and then let the court pay attention to him. If he can get an example of asking for the people's lives in this matter of helping the woodcutter, it will be very helpful for his future future. So, he provoked the woodcutters to come over. ”

Chen Fei was speechless, he actually met a guy who wanted to step on himself and climb up. This kind of guy borrowed this incident to build up his so-called political capital. Then he asked for the people's life, so that the people and officials could see that he was "sincerely" for the good of the people, and then came to attack Chen Fei, a "cool official". He also wanted to make Chen Fei the kind of unkind and unrighteous cool official, so that he could feel as if he was not afraid of power, and then he would all seem to be benevolent and righteous people. In this way, you can gain a certain amount of political capital for yourself, and then help you become an official in the future.

Chen Fei was indeed negligent for a while, because he invented this honeycomb coal, which caused the woodcutter to lose his job. The woodcutter has no livelihood, so he is naturally very dissatisfied with himself. As for that Wei Feng, he also took advantage of this to incite those woodcutters to protest at the gate of the county government. And this Wei Feng also wants to use this incident to deduct Chen Fei's hat and make Chen Fei bear a reputation for not caring about the livelihood of the people. In this way, he will be able to step on Chen Fei's head and climb up, at least he can gain a lot of fame. If the people know that he is the one who asks for the people's life, then he will be able to obtain great benefits from the people.

"Hmph. This Weifeng is an out-and-out political stream. People! Chen Fei scolded in his heart.

The so-called political hooligans are not through conventional political means, but through some crooked and evil means to mix in the political arena. And this kind of guy will do anything to achieve political goals, even what is strong. Traitorous public opinion is also often done.

And this Wei Feng is doing this now, he is deliberately making it seem as if Chen Fei has cut off the livelihood of these woodcutters, and then hopes to attract the attention of the people. Then let the people have a sense of empathy, after all, the people are often on the same class position. These people belonged to the ordinary peasant class, and they naturally sympathized with people of the same class as them. Now that Chen Fei has cut off the livelihood of these woodcutters, they have all begun to sympathize with these woodcutters. And they don't understand the specific reasons for this. They're just going to think so with their butts.

"What do those people want?" Equation West County Lieutenant asked.

And Yang Jiaxiang immediately said: "The woodcutter put forward a minimum requirement, that is, to stop selling honeycomb coal, and stop producing honeycomb coal in the future, and prohibit the people from using honeycomb coal!" If the use of honeycomb coal is not banned, their livelihood will not be guaranteed, so they asked Chen County to order a ban on the use of honeycomb coal. If this is not the case, then their livelihood cannot be guaranteed, then they will take the initiative to go to Shuozhou to sue the assassin and sue Chen County for cutting off their livelihood. Don't let them live. ”

"In that case, we might as well promise him! After all, if this continues, the top will also pay attention. Now the people sent by the emperor to take care of the princess are here, and if there is a big trouble, the emperor will also know. Let alone. If we continue to use honeycomb coal, it will indeed cut off the livelihood of more than 20 families! These more than 20 families all rely on firewood to make a living, and it is indeed a bit unauthentic for us to do this! Sun Jiadong said.

"Ridiculous!" "It's ridiculous!" "If you do. Then we are turning back the clock on history! Chen Fei said angrily.

Of course, Chen Fei felt that Sun Jiadong's words were very ridiculous, and Sun Jiadong thought that he could agree to the requests of these woodcutters, that is, he planned to settle the matter. After all, now Emperor Li Shimin's eyeliner is also in Shuo County. If it gets big, Li Shimin will know about it, and then he will be miserable. And this honeycomb coal has indeed cut off the livelihood of the woodcutters, so Sun Jiadong thinks that he can agree to the requests of these woodcutters, and if the county does not sell honeycomb coal, then the people can only buy firewood, so that the woodcutters can recover their livelihoods, and there will be no dissatisfaction.

However, Chen Fei absolutely could not do this, because if he did so, he would be turning back the clock on history. Since ancient times, new things have replaced old things, and since Chen Fei has invented this honeycomb coal, it shows that honeycomb coal is also a new thing, and it is destined to replace the old thing - firewood. But if these woodcutters make trouble now, then they will ban the use of honeycomb coal and stop producing honeycomb coal, which is a new thing, isn't that turning back the clock in history?

As for the woodcutter's claim that the honeycomb coal made their livelihood unsustainable, this is indeed a problem, but this is not a reason to ban the use of honeycomb coal. According to this statement, during the Industrial Revolution, new machinery and new power allowed the power of a worker to withstand hundreds and thousands of people in the past. In this way, automation will naturally bring about the fact that there is not so much manpower to work, and many workers will fall into the crisis of unemployment.

But is it possible to negate the fruits of the Industrial Revolution because it will cause workers to lose their jobs? If we are afraid that workers will lose their jobs, then we will not continue to develop high-tech and limit the development of high-tech research and development? This is ridiculous! In order to keep more workers able to rely on this job to support their families, it is also deliberately suppressing the development of science and technology, what kind of thing is this?

So at first glance, the reason for restricting the ban on honeycomb coal sounds normal, but it is completely false. Honeycomb coal is much better than firewood, so although these woodcutters will face the crisis of unemployment and unable to support their families, Chen Fei does not think that this is the reason why Chen Fei ordered the ban on the popularity of honeycomb coal. Therefore, the request of these woodcutters is ridiculous. Chen Fei absolutely can't agree, otherwise he is turning back the clock on history.
