Chapter 710: The King and the Wise
Hong Yun'er sat in a wide carriage with her four-month-old daughter in her arms, and her seven-year-old son, Xiao Youfu, sat aside, still holding a copy of "Capital" and reading there. This Capital is not the book written by Marx in history, but compiled by Hong Yuner herself, but it is more accurate to say that Hong Yuner plagiarized the works of Marx in her previous life.
Xiao Youfu's talent gradually revealed after the age of four, he is better at calm thinking, and his ability to accept all knowledge is jaw-dropping. He was more interested in Western studies, especially chemistry and Gewu. Recently, Hong Yuner began to add the knowledge of economics to him intentionally or unintentionally, and then this "Capital" made by Hong Yuner in advance came into the hands of Xiao Youfu.
Hong Yuner is very satisfied with this son's intelligence, she previously tested her son according to the IQ test project in her previous life, and found that her son's IQ was as high as 140 or more, because some IQ items tested Hong Yuner did not remember, otherwise if she did it all, Hong Yuner believed that her son's IQ might be above 150 or even higher.
But the high-IQ son also brought a negative impact, that is, this son is very introverted, reluctant to communicate with unfamiliar people, usually rarely talks, and his favorite thing is to read all kinds of books. On the way from Nanjing to Beijing, Hong Yuner carried the most luggage books.
After closing the book, Xiao Youfu blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "Mother, since the theory of transfer profits holds that workers get less in labor than they create and pay. The capitalists, in turn, sell the commodities to the workers at a price higher than their value, thus causing the workers to suffer double losses. That's the case. The exchange of labor and capital is very unequal, and it turns from the sphere of production to the realm of circulation in pursuit of the source of profit. Finally I saw the fact that the capitalists exploited the workers. However, I think that after the social division of labor, it will inevitably bring about the uneven distribution of social resources, and the huge number of working classes cannot all become rich, that is to say, it is reasonable that they should be relatively poor, but capitalism is unreasonable, so they should retreat to the feudal mode of production. Am I right to think so? But if I am right, but my father and the whole kingdom of heaven are constantly encouraging the development of industry, commerce and commodity economy, which is bound to completely bury the feudal mode of production, is this not a kind of regression? ”
Xiao Youfu is not only smart, but also inherits Hong Yun'er's mouth cannon. Of course, he will only say so many words when he is interested, after listening, Hong Yun'er seems to have been accustomed to his son's understanding of the age, and said with a slight smile: "This understanding is not wrong, but you ignore the balancing role of the productive forces, it is true that the feudal relations of production are reasonable for a certain period of time, but it cannot promote the continued development of the productive forces, with the development of the productive forces, the new relations of production will inevitably replace the previous relations of production." After the development of the productive forces, the commodity economy will fundamentally promote the abundance of the resources of the whole society, that is to say, the commodities that can be circulated under the feudal system in the past are limited, but the commodity economy era. Commodities will become universal, which will then contribute to a decline in commodity prices, thus compensating for the unequal distribution of production relations and resources. Analogy. In the past, you could earn a sack of rice for a day of labor, but now you get the same amount of money for a day of labor. But there are more products on the market, and more rice is starting to increase. So you'll be able to get two bags of rice, and it looks like you're better off than before. ”
Xiao Youfu nodded thoughtfully and didn't say a word more, and continued to look down at his book, Hong Yun'er sighed slightly, secretly thinking that if this son becomes a scientist or a philosopher, he will definitely go down in history in the future, but to be the king of a country, there may be a lot of things missing, not being good at communicating with people is a fatal flaw, the king of a country is not necessarily the smartest person, but he must be the most skilled person, so that he can lead the people of the whole country.
At this time, Xiao Youhe's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Mother, the capital has arrived." His voice interrupted Hong Yun'er's thoughts, and the female officer in the car lifted the curtain, only to see that the tall city tower of Yongding Gate was already in front of her. Xiao Youhe rode on a green horse, his new-style military uniform was matched with his cavalry sword, the golden ribbon on his body and the feather feathers on the helmet all showed that he was so heroic, and his arrogant and handsome face looked like a small version of the King of the West. In an instant, Hong Yun'er was a little messy, couldn't it be that the path she arranged for her two sons was not the most suitable for them?
Xiao Youhe specially applied to come to greet Hong Yun'er and his party, he led a guard of 3,000 people to meet him for fifty miles, and then the entire Tianjing team detoured to the south of the capital and solemnly entered the capital from the Yongding Gate due south.
Through the carriage window, Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Youhe gathered around several guard officers, they reported to Xiao Youhe about the march of the guard, although several officers were older than Xiao Youhe, but they were all respectful, and Xiao Youhe after the assignment of the task, but also with them easy-going jokes, those officers were also smiling, majestic without losing affinity, solemn without rigidity, Hong Yun'er was secretly surprised in her heart, this kid even learned his Lao Tzu's means of entrapping people.
After entering the Yongding Gate, the streets and alleys in the capital are full of onlookers who come to watch, although the Taiping army did not extravagantly and wastefully engage in any grand entrance ceremony, but many residents of the capital still burn incense and bow, set off firecrackers, hang colored cloths, and spontaneously come to celebrate the entry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into Beijing.
There has always been a rumor that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Beijing, it may not set the capital in Beijing, but continue to set the capital in Nanjing, just like the Ming Dynasty, after all, Jiangnan is the place where the Taiping Army, especially the Taiping Army in the West Temple, started, and the ruling foundation there is much better than that in the north.
In the end, the controversy of the capital was decided by the king of the west, or the capital of Beijing, and the king of the west sent a long letter to Zuo Zongtang and Hong Yun'er in Nanjing, which explained the importance of the capital of Beijing. The first point is to consider that the Taiping army's dominance in the north is weak, so it is necessary to make Beijing the capital to consolidate the rule in the north. The second is that Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Guanwai have not yet surrendered, and the establishment of the capital Beijing can help deter these places. Promote early surrender in these places. The third is that the political and economic reform in the north requires the government of heaven to set the capital in the north, so as to bring about the reform in the north.
And for good reason. Then, after Zuo Zongtang read out the letter of the King of the West at the court meeting, the courtiers of the Heavenly Kingdom held a discussion. In the end, they all felt that the idea of the king of the west was right, and it was precisely because of the weak ruling foundation in the north that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should have its capital in Beijing. In private, some courtiers discussed, saying that in fact, it was the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing who decided to set the capital of the Heavenly Kingdom in Nanjing, and then the Tianjing Incident occurred in Nanjing, and the Dingdu here was a little ominous, and at the same time, the Western King decided to set the capital in Beijing, and he also wanted to completely sever the connection with the Heavenly Kingdom established by the previous Heavenly King and the Eastern King. It means that the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China is a new court and a new country.
In any case, the proposal to set the capital was decided in this way, and Nanjing was not abandoned, according to the construction of the king of the west, or to follow the old practice of the Ming Dynasty, Tianjing was renamed Nanjing, and was designated as the companion capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China.
After the end of the discussion on the fixed capital, Zuo Zongtang, Hong Yuner, Li Kaifang and others led the first batch of central officials to move north, of course, the relocation of the capital of any country is a complex and huge project. As a result, the second and third batches of central government relocation teams led by Xu Naizhao and others followed up.
Walking to Zhengyangmen, a large number of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officials in Beijing appeared here to welcome them, including Qian Jiang and Li Xiucheng such as Heavenly Kingdom generals, as well as Yuan Jiasan, Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin and other rebel generals. Of course, Xiao Qingfeng, Ai Zaiquan, and Ai Yixuan are indispensable to the old Manchu bureaucrats who have taken refuge in the new imperial court. The entire Zhengyang Gate was full of them, and it looked very lively.
There were still many people watching across the Jinshui Bridge, and suddenly several ragged people rushed out of the crowd. Pointing to the greeting team at the other end of the bridge, he scolded: "Qingfeng, Zaiquan, you traitors!" Corrupt the ancestors. You will not die well! "Qingfeng, Yixuan, you villains. Betray your own people, Lao Tzu will not let you go after he dies! ”
The people were happy at a glance, these people were the princes of the previous dynasty, and now their property was confiscated, and they sold all the fields in a few days, but now they are a poor person, and they finally saw Qingfeng and others show up, of course, they had to come forward and curse a few words, so the people began to coax and said: "Yo, isn't this Heshuo Belle Ye?" Scold it vigorously, maybe you can scold people to death like Prime Minister Zhuge did! "Master, the little one has a greeting to you, yo, why are you dressed so shabby today?" Hahaha......"
In the laughter and scolding, Hong Yun'er also heard it, lifted the carriage curtain and looked, only to see Xiao Youhe rushing forward with the guards, and cooperated with the guards on the street to quickly take down a few people who scolded the street. Then something unexpected happened to Hong Yun'er, Xiao Youhe loudly announced in public that these people were the remnants of the previous dynasty, blocking the Heavenly Imperial Driving Team, with bad intentions, and correcting the law on the spot!
Without waiting for Hong Yun'er to speak, Xiao Youhe personally pulled out his gun and executed, after a few gunshots, several princes of the former dynasty died on the street, followed by Xiao Youhe shouted loudly and ordered the others to move the corpses away immediately, and after cleaning the streets, he commanded the guards to continue to escort the convoy forward.
After a few strokes, the current riot was dealt with neatly, and the people killed people in the street as soon as they saw it, and none of them dared to laugh and curse anymore, and the timid people even sat on the ground. Then when the convoy passed, the people fell to their knees, and no one dared to make a loud noise.
Hong Yun'er was stunned very much, she didn't expect Xiao Youhe's methods to be so resolute and ruthless, and then Hong Yun'er noticed that after the convoy passed, Xiao Youhe and a few officers left behind and said loudly to those people: "Fellow villagers and elders in the capital, I scared you just now, a few remnants of the former dynasty made trouble, and I have to enforce the law on behalf of the kingdom of heaven, how much offended, please bear with me!" Rest assured, my kingdom of heaven enforces the law, and only against the remnants of thieves and those who do evil, everyone is a good citizen, and they can act freely! ”
After hearing this, the people breathed a sigh of relief, and many people cheered: "The little general killed well, those dog thieves used to be powerful, but now they have no money to bully us everywhere, kill well!" "Yes, the little general is killing refreshed!"
Xiao Youhe saluted handsomely with a fist instead of saluting, which made it more obvious that he was close to the people, and then he rushed up with the guards. After Hong Yun'er got off the carriage, she greeted Qian Jiang and the others and exchanged a few words of greetings, while Qingfeng and the others seemed to be hiding behind everyone because of such a scandalous incident just now. Following Hong Yun'er, she noticed that Xiao Youhe walked to Qingfeng and the others and whispered a few words, as if to comfort several Manchu officials, and then Qingfeng and the others smiled, and then came forward to salute Hong Yuner and others.
And during the whole process, Xiao Youfu didn't get out of the carriage, until Hong Yun'er opened the carriage door and asked him to get off, he reluctantly put down the books in his hand and got out of the carriage...... (To be continued......)
