When Shi Maozhou, chairman of the Democratic Restoration Party, showed his content on national culture to everyone, he immediately won a lot of applause. At this time, Xiao Hongsheng, the former director of the Department of Industry and Commerce and the current chairman of the Huafu Party, also took the initiative to take out a note and then handed it over to Wang Guorui.

"Your Majesty, this is about the minister's views on the future development of various industries in the mainland, and I also ask the emperor to correct it." Xiao Hongsheng said.

Wang Guorui looked at this article, there were tens of thousands of words, as thick as a short story, Wang Guorui had no interest in reading it carefully.

"You talk about the important core, and then let me listen to it, and let everyone present refer to it!" Wang Guorui said.

Xiao Hongsheng obviously knew this result for a long time, although he knew that Wang Guorui definitely didn't have the heart to read it one by one, but the rewritten document still had to be written, which was the so-called rule of officialdom. This is not a complete formalism, after all, this kind of plan for national development must leave paper documents for future generations to investigate, and if something goes wrong, it can be used as a basis for accountability. Such a matter about the development of the country cannot be decided in this way, and paper documents must be left as a record, and then it can be counted as a historical record, and it is also a basis for accountability in the future. Therefore, although Wang Guorui will not read them carefully one by one, he still needs to have the necessary paper documents.

"When the minister was the director of the Department of Industry and Commerce, he also had some experience. And after we entered the mainland, the territory has expanded countless times, and the governance method will inevitably change. Originally, when we were in Taiwan, our territory was small, and the problems left over from the history of the landlord class were not big, and the landlord forces were not very deep-rooted. However, when it came to the mainland, the world was full of the power of the landlord class. We simply can't be one-size-fits-all. If one size fits all, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire country and even bring about big problems. The so-called governance of a large country is like cooking small food, we must be cautious and cannot act in a hurry. ”

"And the minister formulated this about the future industrial development, which is combined with economic regulation. And there is also a plan for the development of the industry. ”

Xiao Hongsheng first focused on the issue of landlords.

"The landlord is a product of our Chinese since ancient times, and he is different from both the Western aristocracy and the Japanese samurai. And he is a special phenomenon that is combined with our imperial examination system and society, and uses the tax exemption privileges granted by the government and political rights to constantly devour the land, and then uses a large number of people as tenants and exploits. And in this process, there is no actual economic value, and there is still so much food, just a change in land ownership. ”

"But to exist is to be reasonable. And it's been going on for almost two thousand years. Therefore, we cannot just be so hasty and one-size-fits-all, thinking that we can try to use economic means to limit the living space of the landlords, and then gradually starve the landlords to death. ”

"Why can the landlords be able to exploit a large amount of grain, and even excessively demand that sixty percent of the grain be handed over to the landlords? And the people can't choose? Since the minister learned this statement about the emperor about human resources, the minister immediately understood. The emperor made it very clear in terms of human resources, manpower is actually a kind of resource, and manpower must be regarded as a commodity, and commodities must have their own market. And our country has been in turmoil since ancient times. The population is sparse, and that's when human resources are precious. At that time, almost everyone was given land and a stable life. But as time went on and the population recovered, these people had no education, no other means of earning a living, and no industrial development allowed them to change careers. They can only be tied to the land. It is not possible to change careers. ”

"But at this time, the land became more and more concentrated, and then landlords were formed. Even at this time, the population of the people increased, and they were all people who could grow food. Therefore, there is a clear surplus of such human resources, and there is obviously a serious surplus of human resources that can grow food. Once there is an oversupply of resources. That naturally leads to low value. The reason why the landlords dare to collect rent so excessively, and the people have no bargaining power, is because they know that once they don't do it, there will be many people rushing to do it. ”

"And this leads to the exploitation of the people, but there are still many people who do not have access to the right to farm."

And Xiao Hongsheng finally made a summary, that is: "As long as there are too many human resources that can only farm, it will definitely cause the land to not need so many people." And there is a surplus of human resources, which will inevitably lead to no bargaining power. So we have to address this overabundance of human resources and then find a solution. ”

"The minister's current plan is to build labor-intensive enterprises, and then consume a large amount of surplus human resources of the private sector. For example, textile, clothing and other industries are industries that require a large number of people. After the development of these industries, a large number of rural people can be absorbed into employment. When the rural population joins these labor-intensive industries, and a large number of rural people leave the countryside, the landlords will inevitably become unavailable. At that time, it was necessary to lower the conditions and give the tenants better conditions. ”

"And we can develop labor-intensive industries, as long as the peasants find that farming for the landlord is not as good as working, then they will definitely give up the idea of farming for the landlord and go to work. And at this time we can force the landlord to sell the land to us cheaply. ”

Wang Guorui understood Xiao Hongsheng's plan, but in fact, this plan is nothing more than a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle. How can those landlords negotiate terms with those peasants, and the peasants have no bargaining power? In fact, the most important thing is that those farmers lack livelihood skills and can only engage in agricultural work, and there are too many such people, and the supply is oversupply. So landlords can easily force them to do the most work and get the least income. And if these surplus labor can be transferred to those labor-intensive enterprises, then they will definitely be diverted.

Then they thought that if the landlords had no population to cultivate, they would be forced to relax the conditions to recruit peasants. However, once it has developed to a certain extent, it will be more profitable to work outside the home than to farm for the landlord, and it will definitely make those people seek to go out to work instead of farming for the landlord. In this way, the landlords can be economically sucked from the bottom of the pot, and once no one is willing to farm for them, then they will definitely be forced to find that their landlords have no way to make a profit, and they will inevitably be forced to sell their land at a low price.

This means digging out the foundation of the landlords from the economic base, and then it can achieve a means of eliminating the landlord class. This approach can absorb a large number of people into labor-intensive enterprises, and then develop a large amount of economic power.

"Is this labor-intensive industry a must?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Your Majesty, yes, there must be. Any country has to go through this stage, and all countries with relatively few land resources and a relatively large population must go through this process. Our population is generally low in education and has a very low literacy rate, so they don't have much livelihood skills. We can only let them work in labor-intensive industries, and then let them have a way to make ends meet, without being forced to be confined to the land and exploited by the landlords. ”

"And if all the landlords hit, not to mention how bloody the process will be, not to mention that even if the land is divided, it may not be enough! How can our country's 400 million people be enough to divide so much land? Therefore, it is necessary to use all kinds of industries to absorb the rich rural working population, and then let them integrate into the cities as soon as possible, and then the rural landlords can also starve to death. ”

When Wang Guorui heard this, he realized that labor-intensive industries are necessary, especially in a country like China, which has a large population and a relatively low level of education. Many people in later generations believe that many of China's enterprises are labor-intensive, with low technology content and cannot create much profit value. However, in fact, maintaining this labor-intensive industry is a long-term national condition that China must have, and the education rate of China's population in the long run will certainly not be high, and the overall quality of the population and labor force cannot be improved in the short term.

And if it evolves directly into technology-intensive industries, a large number of workers with low education levels will inevitably face the risk of unemployment. The relatively low level of Chinese culture is an inevitable phenomenon and is not so easy to solve, so it is necessary to give them the ability to make a living. This is the basis for maintaining the stability of the country, otherwise more than half of the country's population would be unemployed, so what a cold and frightening figure is this? A little unemployment is more than half, and then a revolutionary rebellion is just around the corner.

Therefore, it is not that the government does not want to really evolve into technology-intensive enterprises, but that too many workers need to be fed, and if it really advances to those high-tech eras, I am afraid that the quality of the population will not be able to adapt, and it will inevitably bring about a crisis.

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't mess around easily! In particular, more than 80 percent of our country is currently illiterate, and the population with a sufficient educational foundation is too small to be qualified for high-tech work. It is necessary to compromise with them, so labor-intensive enterprises must be had, and we must also open up special areas and strive to pull those rural laborers over, so that their landlords can fall into a state of starvation and have to take the initiative to compromise with us. ”

"Well, how are you going to develop labor-intensive industries?" Wang Guorui asked. (To be continued.) )
