86_86695 "Revolution is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not a painting and embroidery, not so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle and frugal. A revolution is an insurrection, a violent action by a class to overthrow a class. ”

——1622, Wang Shuhui, "The Land Policy of the Revival Society is the Agrarian Revolution"

On the one hand, Wang Shuhui hoped to educate the officers and soldiers through the land redemption negotiations. On the other hand, he also hoped that through the land redemption negotiation, Gu Junen himself could be educated and let him recognize the reality.

In fact, through Guò's contact with Gu Junen, Wang Shuhui felt that among the ancient people, it was rare for a more sincere reader like him to read.

Although Wang Shuhui came into contact with only three ancient scholars, one Niu Jinxing, one Song Xiance and one Gu Junen. However, among these three people, Wang Shuhui felt that Niu Jinxing had a strong desire for power, but his actual ability and his desire for power did not match. And Song Xiance is a person, he is very positive and has a strong speculative taste. Among the three people, Gu Junen is the only one, and he is very realistic in terms of dealing with the world.

At least, Gu Junen, a person who never told nonsense, stupid words and lies in his contact with Wang Shuhui. Not to mention an ancient reader, it's not easy for you to get a modern person to do this.

Out of this consideration, Wang Shuhui handed over the negotiation matters with the Songzi landlords to Gu Junen to deal with. This is not to say that Wang Shuhui deliberately embarrassed Gu Junen, but from a realistic point of view, the entire revival will be up and down, even if there were people who could deal with the landlords and bureaucrats before, such as Zhu Weiyan's uncles. However, under the firm class education of the Revival Society, the views of the current Revival Society are generally only hatred of the landlords.

Therefore, now there are only three people who can come forward to contact the landlords on behalf of the Fuxing Association, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing. And Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing are not there, and now only Gu Junen can undertake this task.

Hearing the task arrangement introduced to him by Wang Shuhui, Gu Junen was happy that Wang Shuhui could accept his advice. On the other hand, he was full of anxiety about whether he could get the job done.

Speaking of which, the person who knows the landlord class best can only be the landlord class. Although Gu Junen felt pity for the landlords who were destroyed by Wang Shuhui from his own background. However, as the landlord class, Gu Junen knows best how short-sighted and greedy the landlord class is.

Gu Junen himself is a native of Zhongxiang, Hubei. Zhongxiang is a distance of several hundred miles from Zhijiang at most, and the customs and customs are exactly the same as Zhijiang. It is not the same as the Songziwu family, who became a big landlord from an official eunuch's family. Zhong Xiang's place is also a place where local tyrants are rampant and inferior gentry are everywhere.

The local gentry all relied on collusion with the county government to control taxes, usury, plunder yeoman farmers and tenant farmers to expand their land. Gu Junen's father and grandfather have accumulated tens of thousands of acres of land by relying on such means.

Gu Junen is emotionally on the side of his family. But, intellectually, it was impossible for him not to be disgusted by it. Anyone who reads books, anyone who understands history, knows everything. The root cause of the chaos in the world is that the peasants have lost their land and the landlords and rich households have bullied and bullied the peasants. Therefore, from this point alone, Gu Junen is also very disappointed with his family's short-sightedness and foolishness.

As a scholar who has always cared about his family and country, Gu Junen also obviously feels that today's Ming Dynasty has a bit of a declining taste. The northern captives in the north, the eastern captives in the northeast, took turns to ravage the northland. In recent years, the imperial court has lost the city even more. Hundreds of thousands of border troops could not help the eastern captives. Because of the incompetence of the imperial court, the cost of guiding the border land is getting bigger and bigger, and under the increase in dispatch year after year, the rebellions in various places are also endless.

The barbarians in the northeast and southwest are in turmoil, the disasters and famines in the Central Plains are incessant, and the grass people in the world are rising, as a sober reader, when he sees the court news sorted out by the intelligence department in the revival meeting, Gu Junen also has a premonition of chaos in the world.

Gu Junen deeply believes that the sentence in Wang Shuhui's "The Law of the Unification of All Things" "The fundamental factor that determines the development and change of things is the internal cause". In Gu Junen's view, although the barbarian rebellion is very dangerous to the world, it is not as strict as the internal propaganda of the Fuxing Society. He believes that in the end, what can decide the fate of the Ming Dynasty is just right, that is, like his grandfather and father and the gentry of Songzi County, one by one, landlords and gentry.

If the landlords and gentry of the world were like them, regardless of the life and death of the people, and forced the people to the desperate road of rebellion, then the world of the Ming Dynasty would inevitably perish. If the landlords and gentry of the world could be like the Zhijiang Business Alliance, they would transfer the exploitation of the people for profit to the operation of industry and commerce for profit. Then, the world of the Ming Dynasty will not only not perish, but will prosper.

Therefore, Gu Junen has been carefully observing the operation and development of the Zhijiang Business Alliance. He very much hoped that Wang Shuhui would be able to provide all the landlords and gentry with the same support and help as the Zhijiang Business Alliance.

Speaking of which, in Gu Junen's heart, Wang Shuhui's support for the Zhijiang Business Alliance is not just as simple as making money. He believes that this approach of the Revival Society is very likely, and it is an opportunity to save the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Junen's idea once caused a lot of surprise to Wang Shuhui. It's not that Gu Junen's ideas are groundbreaking for Wang Shuhui. Rather, Gu Junen's ideas are very similar to those bourgeois revolutionaries in modern times on a historical level, and many scholars who support the capitalist system in modern society on a theoretical level.

Wang Shuhui knows that from a theoretical point of view alone. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a society in which capitalism was in its infancy, it was theoretically feasible to implement the capitalist system. It can even be said that even from the perspective of scientific social theory, there is nothing theoretically wrong with this idea itself.

But the problem is that history has given a clear answer to this approach. In China, a country with a history of more than 2,000 years of feudalism, the power of capitalism can never develop into a real and revolutionary force. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, those who were transformed from the landlord class into bourgeois revolutionaries were, without exception, eventually become, the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the comprador bourgeoisie, wearing the mask of capitalism but inside being the corpse of feudalism.

Trying to harness the power of society itself and allow the capitalist system to develop naturally is simply not feasible in China. From a practical point of view, this can only be achieved after the complete elimination of the landlord class, the establishment of political power in the form of revolution, and the establishment of the foundations of industrial society. Only the capital operation carried out with the state as the main body can be successful.

In fact, history has given its own answer to Gu Junen's viewpoint, which is both scientific and predictable. In Russia and China, where the state was too large and the feudal forces were too stubborn and powerful, the bourgeois revolutions they carried out were all failures.

Wang Shuhui, who has grasped the truth that has been tested by history, is still very surprised that Gu Junen, a pure feudal scholar, can find a capitalist road for the future of the Ming Dynasty in such a short period of time.

You must know that Wang Shuhui clearly recognized this truth and relied on historical experience and systematic study. As for Gu Junen, who had only been in contact with the Revival Society for more than half a year and less than a year, he was able to read those two elementary books that introduced the basic knowledge of scientific and social theory, coupled with his observations of the Zhijiang Business Alliance, and came to such a conclusion. This made Wang Shuhui have to sigh that a hero is a talent.

When Wang Shuhui heard Gu Junen's thoughts, he even thought that Xunzi used the same theory, but he could teach two completely different students, Li Si and Han Feilai.

However, it is a pity that Gu Junen's idea is very good. However, this path is not feasible in the Chinese environment. It is not the social conditions of the late Ming Dynasty, and it does not meet the needs of capitalist development. It was the people of the late Ming Dynasty who did not meet the needs of capitalist development.

This is because, whether it is real capitalism or real socialism, an advanced system has a fundamental and irreconcilable contradiction with the feudal system, especially the feudal land ownership system.

Although Gu Junen's ideas are very good, neither the feudal landlord class of the Ming Dynasty nor the Qing Dynasty will accept his ideas and views.

Let's take an example that is more unreliable and too emotional.

The capitalists are indeed very vicious towards the working class. However, in order to make profits, they are also extremely vicious towards themselves. In the words of the capitalists who defend themselves, they have to drink their own blood before they drink the blood of the working class.

After more than 2,000 years of precipitation, the feudal landlord class, which has completely decayed, no longer has the courage and ability to drink its own blood and transform itself into capitalists.

Wang Shuhui promised him after listening to Gu Junen's thoughts on him and giving a detailed introduction. As long as Gu Junen can persuade a landlord gentry to exchange land for capital, technology and equipment, the Revival Society will support the landlord gentry. Let him enjoy the same treatment as the Zhijiang Business Alliance.

The Fuxing Society used the land to carry out large-scale agricultural construction, transformed peasants into agricultural workers, and established modern agriculture. The landlords and gentry used the capital, technology, and equipment supported by the Revival Society to build factories and engage in industry and commerce for profit. Wang Shuhui is happy to see this happen.

Even, there is no need for the landlords and gentry to invest in the construction of heavy industry that costs a lot of money and has a long cycle (in fact, the investment in heavy industry at the modern level is not so large, and the construction period is not long), they engage in light industry that makes money quickly, and Wang Shuhui will also support it. However, the precondition was that they had to hand over the land and let the Revival Society build and operate.

Jia Baoyu, the protagonist in "Dream of Red Mansions", was born with a piece of Baoyu to follow. Without Baoyu, this so-called sparkling and beautiful Jia Baoyu will become a stupid overlord like Xue Pan. For the landlords and gentry, land is to them, just like Baoyu is to Jia Baoyu, it is completely their lifeblood.

You can think about it, if you sue sù a person who is in good health and looks good at the disaster and disease, he must cut off the root of his life and be undefeated in the East, otherwise he will definitely die in the end. Would anyone obediently wield a knife from the palace like the Sect Master? There may be such people, but they are certainly a minority of the few.

You can understand this when you say this. The landlord's attachment to the land, or rather, the attachment of a person in an agrarian society to the land, is like a man's attachment to his own life.

As a person who grew up in an old industrial base in Northeast China, Wang Shuhui has seen with his own eyes that many retired workers from farmers have turned the flower beds and lawns in their communities into small plots of arable land after retirement, and planted corn and vegetables on them.

And that was in 2015
