Chapter 165: Songzi Blossoms Revival Meeting Flower 1
86_86695 "We, the revival members, are like seeds, and the people are like the land. When we arrive at a place, we must unite with the people there, take root and blossom among the people. ”
-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "The Revival Society is the Main Force in the Construction of New China"
After the soldiers completed the clearance of the Wu family, Wang Shuhui looked at the Wu family's property on the register and was also very surprised.
The Wu family not only occupies more than 100,000 acres of land on the surface, but also has nearly 100,000 acres of hidden land in private. These lands are on the other side of the Songzi River (the Mayu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River that flows into Songzi County).
The Wu family is still in Wuchang, Jingzhou and Songzi counties, and has more than a dozen shops. The Wu family's other garden in Wuchang Mansion is worth nearly 50,000 taels of silver.
Among the cash found from the Wu family, there were more than 3,000 taels of gold and more than 60,000 taels of silver. All of them were buried under a few trees in the Wu family's yard. In addition, there are nearly 30,000 taels of silver tickets in the Jiangnan area. As for all kinds of jewelry, jewelry, antiques, etc., there are countless more.
For Wang Shuhui and the Renaissance Society, money is not a great thing. As a producer, Revival will never be short of money. Because the revival of industrialization itself is creating zào wealth.
Wang Shuhui once said to the cadres with an ingot of silver in a training class for the cadres of the Revival Association: "Silver is money, and silver itself is valuable." However, it is nothing more than money in its own right. And money is not wealth. You can buy things with silver. This shows that these things are valuable, and the silver itself is not valuable. What is valuable is something, and what is valuable is wealth. ”
To tell the truth, Wang Shuhui's "Capital" course has not yet been fully understood by any cadre of the Revival Society. Even if Wang Shuhui took all the materials of the Zhijiang Business Alliance to give everyone an example and give a lecture. However, it is still very difficult for these heads of agrarian societies to understand the economic theories based on social industrialization.
However, everyone understands the problem that silver is money, but money is not wealth. Basically, every member of the Revival Society can understand that the Revival Society has an advanced factory and is able to produce a large number of products in large quantities. Therefore, the Revival Society is the one who holds the greatest wealth.
Regarding the current situation that everyone does not understand politics and economics, Wang Shuhui is not in a hurry. Many of the scientific and social theories he mastered did not have a certain basis in social reality, and it was very difficult for anyone to understand.
Wang Shuhui knows that with the revival, the whole Chinese society will continue to move forward. When the new productive forces and new relations of production are fully developed and established, the cadres of the Renaissance Society, who have engaged in a great deal of practice, will truly realize how valuable and useful the theoretical knowledge they have taught them is.
At that time, the members of the Revival Society, who have mastered the advanced theories, will become the most advanced people on the entire planet.
After Wang Shuhui finished reading the materials in his hand, he taught the materials to Song Xiance and Gu Junen to see.
When Song Xiance and Gu Junen saw the Wu family's property in the register, they were not particularly surprised by the amount of land and gold and silver. After all, they all understand how much Revival earns every day. They all visited the Renaissance Mint. I saw with my own eyes that the Revival Mint was minting a large amount of silver earned that day every day into silver coins. Having received basic financial literacy education in the Renaissance Society, they know that the interest on the money that the Renaissance Society receives every day through guò coinage is very staggering.
When they saw the large amount of grain stored in the Wu family recorded in the register, Song Xiance and Gu Junen, who were also of the landlord class, also felt that Wu Chaozong had a way to die.
In the year of the catastrophe, when the people were hungry, the Wu family actually stocked up more than 80,000 stone of grain. Even from the standpoint of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, it is not very unjust to destroy him. Although this kind of thing has also been done by Song Xiance and Gu Junen's families. After all, this is the usual method of the landlord class.
Because the Wu family has been completely purged, Wang Shuhui is not ready to talk to Songzi County Commander anymore. He wants Liu Yangmin to recognize the reality.
Wang Shuhui immediately ordered two soldiers to go to the back hall to "invite" Liu Yangmin's county order.
When he was pushed and shoved by two soldiers, and staggered from the back hall to reappear in the living room, Liu Yangmin's face was flushed.
In his heart, being pushed out by two thieves under a martial artist is a matter of losing face and losing dignity. However, Liu Yangmin is also a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs. Seeing that the master and a domestic servant who wanted to stop him were bleeding from his nostrils smashed by the soldiers of the Revival Army with the butt of his gun, he obediently followed the two soldiers out.
Song Xiance and Gu Junen couldn't understand why things had changed like this. Seeing Liu Yangmin standing there with a flushed face, Song Xiance and Gu Junen just wanted to comfort a few words, and Wang Shuhui spoke.
"Liu County Order, the traitor Wu Chaozong's family is extremely evil, and they dare to resist in the face of the imperial army, and now they are all ambushed. Now there are only two roads in front of Liu County. One way is to be immediately arrested by the Jinyi Wei Jingzhou Thousand Households on charges of knowingly not reporting and harboring anti-thieves. I will immediately inform the state government of the specific situation and report it to the imperial court. The second way is that the local mountain bandits colluded with the Wu Dynasty Sect Mansion to destroy the Wu family. The county ordered Lord Liu to lead the county's archers to arrive in time and exterminate all the bandits. Of these two roads, Lord Liu will choose one of them. ”
Feudal society, especially China's feudal society, has such a characteristic that local officials, who hold the overall power of a state and a government, have tremendous power over everyone under their rule.
Let's take Zhijiang County and Songzi County as examples. In these two counties, where the Revival Society has full control. As long as the two counties can pay the local grain tax within the prescribed time. Whether it's the higher authorities or the central government, they don't care what happens in your two counties.
Let's take Songzi County as an example. Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Army were so bold as to exterminate the local gentry leaders. However, unless there are people from the Jinzhi clan in the Wu Dynasty who hold important official positions in the higher government or the central government. Otherwise, it is the gentry of the county or the people of the county who report the situation. Will anyone believe and care? No, it won't!
The crux of the matter is that as long as the chief executive of the region is completely controlled. So in this region, no matter what kind of thing you do, at the government level, no one will know. This is the giant *ug of feudal society itself.
Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society controlled Zhijiang County for more than two years and nearly three years, except for the upper echelons of Jingzhou who knew that Wang Shuhui was a greedy and cruel landowner, Wang Shuhui and the Fuxing Society completely controlled the top and bottom of Zhijiang County, and all the people in charge of the entire Zhijiang County Yamen were all members of the Fuxing Society except for the county order. No one knows about this at all.
Therefore, knowing that Wei Zhongxian was carrying the flag to help, Wang Shuhui was not ready to waste too much time with these magistrates at all.
You must know that the Renaissance Association has just basically completed the transformation of a part of the land in the Songzi area, and if it wants to feed all the people in Songzi County and integrate the entire Songzi County into the system of the Renaissance Association, a lot of complicated construction work is still needed. He really didn't have the time or energy, so he and Liu Yangmin got some useless Rigellen.
Wang Shuhui looked down on the officials of the Ming Dynasty very much. In addition to the fundamental reason that they represent the most decadent and backward bureaucratic landlord class in the feudal system, the main reason is that Wang Shuhui believes that the officials of the Ming Dynasty have no discipline at all.
In history, when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty scholars and doctors, who had been honored and respected by the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, rushed to die. According to historical data, during the Battle of Yashan, 100,000 soldiers and civilians sacrificed their lives to bury the Great Song Dynasty. As a believer in scientific sociology, although Wang Shuhui disagrees with the fallacy and heresy that "there is no China after Yashan", he admires the integrity of those incompetent doctors of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, as the same Han landlord class, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were very obscene in history. In modern society, more than half of the Ming Dynasty's public knowledge group "Donglin Party", which is still respected by many well-known fools, surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, a completely barbaric and backward foreign regime. Mei Zizi became an official of the Qing Dynasty.
Among the other small half of the people, it is very rare to stand up to resist the Qing. Most of them went to the mountains and forests to become so-called hermits who enjoyed the life of exploiting the peasants.
Qian Qianyi, the famous "water is too cold", as one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, was a ministerial-level senior official in the Ming Dynasty. However, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became an official of the Manchu Dynasty even though the Qing troops entered Jiangnan and carried out many horrific massacres. There are really too many similar figures in the Ming Dynasty in history.
Therefore, for Wang Shuhui, he does not regard the landlord class of the Ming Dynasty as a great thing at all. As long as the bayonet is shiny enough, they will surely obediently send it to their knees.
For example, now. According to the values of the "scholars" of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yangmin, who was pressed up by the soldiers of the Fuxing Society, was insulted by Yan zhòng. If a civil official with a serious 800 Jinshi background is insulted by a military attache they look down on, according to the concept of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty themselves, it is a normal table for him to die on the pillar of the living room at this time.
However, under the persecution of the two rifles with bayonets, although his face was flushed with anger, Liu Yangmin did not say a word that did not understand the current affairs. He obediently signed his name and stamped his seal on the official document prepared by the Revival Association.
