Chapter 186: Political Adjustments
After Xiao Yungui listened to Hong Yun'er's words, he looked at Hong Yun'er in a daze for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "Is there a difference between a landlord and a capitalist?" ”
Hong Yun'er was angry, glared at Xiao Yungui fiercely, and said: "Who told you to skip class when you took political class, you have been in middle school, high school, and college for so many years, don't you even understand this question?" ”
Xiao Yungui's face was thicker than the city wall, and he said calmly: "There will be no landlords in the future generations, I didn't want to learn such a boring class, anyway, you just have to learn it, I know you know everything, you can learn better than me, just listen to you." ”
Hong Yun'er snorted and said: "The landlord occupies the land and exploits the peasants to obtain surplus value by collecting rent, while the capitalist extracts the surplus value of the workers by producing commodities. The biggest difference between the landlord and the capitalist is the possession of the land, and the countermeasures adopted by the two after obtaining profits are also different, and the landlord will only annex the land by various means, expand the area of his land, recruit more tenant farmers, and thus destroy the balance of land distribution. Unlike the capitalists, they will only expand production, increase machinery and equipment, and recruit more workers to produce more products, and the expansion of production by the capitalists will bring benefits to the industrialization process of society, while the landlords cannot, they can only extract more surplus value by increasing the land. Landlords lead to the concentration of more and more land in the hands of a few, and more and more people become tenant farmers or destitute people, without bringing any benefit to the industrialization process of society. ”
Xiao Yungui sighed and said: "I see, it seems that the feudal landlord class is better eliminated as soon as possible." ”
Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "But now the landlord class is still an extremely large stratum in China, and it is impossible to eliminate it for a while, and the two types of people I mentioned earlier are dealing with them in a way that restricts the development of landlords, and the means are not too drastic. In addition, we encourage the development of industry and commerce, I think that when many landlords see that it is not possible to continue to expand their land, they should take out the excess funds to invest in building factories, and when they see the return on the profits of their investment, they will invest more money to expand production on a rolling basis, so as to achieve a virtuous circle of industrialization. ”
Xiao Yungui touched his chin and said: "Your idea is very good and idealistic, but in reality, we may encounter many unimaginable difficulties and resistances, as for whether our idea can be realized." And whether our approach is right or not can only be tested by practice. You should go back and sort out all kinds of ideas, and then ask Mr. Zuo for advice to see if there will be other problems in the actual process, and think of countermeasures in advance. That's right. If we really do this in southern Jiangsu, it is equivalent to agreeing that the people have private property. It will break the sacred treasury system. If we deviate too far from the strategy of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, will we attract their rebuke? ”
Hong Yun'er smiled faintly and said: "I won't cancel the Holy Treasury, we are still fighting now, and concentrating money and food is conducive to the war." But we can't ask the soldiers, craftsmen, and their dependents to have no private property, and I think that the cost of military affairs is still in San Kuchina and after the pacification of southern Jiangsu. We should not rely on plundering the official warehouses and rich households to enrich the holy treasury, but should instead rely on collecting taxes to obtain money and food to support our wars. At the same time, the policy was slowly liberalized, allowing soldiers, artisans, and military dependents to own private property, but all seizures must be handed over. It is reasonable to then reward soldiers, craftsmen, and dependents for their military exploits and the capture of the kingdom of heaven. ”
Xiao Yungui clapped his hands and applauded: "This method is good, in the past, military merits were always rewarded with promotions, after each battle, a large number of meritorious soldiers kept rising, and soon we would have no ordinary soldiers, everyone was a general, which was very bad." It is also a way to reward money and property, and I also want to introduce the medals and medals of later generations to commend meritorious soldiers, well, I will think about this matter carefully, and go back and discuss it with Mr. Zuo. ”
Hong Yun'er saw that he was finally active, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, since we are separated from the King of Heaven and the King of the East, some untimely policies have to be changed, and for example, the matter of separating men and women into camps, many male soldiers obviously have wives in the women's camp, but they can't live a normal life, which is very inhumane and contrary to human ethics." ”
When Xiao Yungui heard this, he immediately sighed and said, "This king obviously has a wife now, but he can't live a married life." ”
Hong Yun'er's face flushed, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "Our situation is different from others, don't you want to be confused and say, I haven't thought about marrying you yet!" ”
Xiao Yungui couldn't help but want to laugh, there are so many strange things in the world, and he finally encountered one, the two of them are physically and nominally husband and wife, but the strange thing that is not husband and wife mentally and spiritually is also rare in the world. But seeing Hong Yun'er's angry appearance, Xiao Yungui didn't dare to make a mistake, and said with a clear cough: "Well, let's not talk about this first, I want to do this about the division of men and women, and after Sunan is pacified, those who were already husband and wife before, we can issue a marriage certificate, agree that they will resume their status as husband and wife to live together, and allocate houses according to the size of their official positions. As for those who are not married, the army can stipulate that soldiers must have served in the army for three years, or those who have been rewarded for military merits can find a wife to marry. Anyway, whether it is housing, private property, or marriage, it is all linked to military merits and contributions, and ordinary people must go to the museum we set up to go through the marriage formalities when they get married. The next step must be the war, and the multiplication of the population can provide us with soldiers, workers, and peasants, and if there is no reproduction, we will still be a fart. ”
Hong Yun'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "Marriage certificate? The marriage certificate issued by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom later was called Hehui, which was printed with a dragon and phoenix pattern, so it was called a dragon and phoenix Hewa. It is a combination of bonds, and it is a certificate of volatility. I have the impression that the joint wave should have been promulgated this year, when because of the uproar over the private union of Chen Zongyang and Xie Manmei, the king of heaven had to order the abolition of the separation of men and women, and at the same time stipulated the abolition of marriage for sale. Only the names, ages, and places of origin of the male and female couples are registered on the union, and the female names are written with the word "wife", which exempts the customary zodiac signs and birth times, which indicates that heavenly marriage is not bound by superstitions such as fortune telling, divination, and marriage. I think this matter can be discussed with the Heavenly King and the Eastern King of Nanjing, or the separation of men and women should be ended as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Yungui snorted and said to himself, "Monogamy is practiced." ”
Hong Yun'er heard him muttering something at the tip of her ear, and said warmly at the moment: "What, don't you still want to have three wives and four concubines?" ”
Xiao Yungui laughed dryly and said: "No, I'm just worried that the people are unwilling, what do you think, what year is it now, it is a common idea for everyone to inherit the lineage, if you marry a wife and can't give birth, and want to ask for a small continuation of the incense, we won't let it, isn't this embarrassing for others?" Besides, aren't the Heavenly Kings and the East Kings all of them a dozen princesses? In this way, you can ask for many wives above, but the people below can only marry one, isn't that a double standard? ”
Hong Yun'er said stupidly: "You just want to say that your King of the West has only one wife now, and it can't be touched, right?" ”
Xiao Yungui muttered, "You said it, I didn't say it." ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Yungui's neckline was grabbed by Hong Yun'er, and Hong Yun'er said viciously with a pretty face: "This matter is not discussed, if you want to marry three wives and four concubines, we will divorce as soon as possible, and I, Hong Yun'er, will never allow my husband to have three wives and four concubines!" ”
Xiao Yungui was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled: "How can it? I'm just talking. Then he muttered in his heart: "I don't marry so many wives and four concubines, just one or two concubines, isn't it okay?" ”
Hong Yun'er let go of her hand angrily, and Xiao Yungui continued: "Don't be angry, I just said what the people think, after all, the custom of taking concubines has been followed for thousands of years, and it is difficult for you to change it all at once, besides, even if we stipulate it like this, the people will have other tricks to deal with, and won't monogamy be stipulated in later generations?" No, there are still juniors or something? You can't help it. ”
Hong Yun'er pouted and said angrily: "No, no matter what, we just want to promote monogamy in the official face." ”
Xiao Yungui clapped his hands and said: "Yes, what you said is right, it is advocated, not banned all at once, I think we are like this, monogamous people, our heavenly kingdom can give some policy rewards, such as paying less taxes, on the contrary, if you want to marry a concubine, you have to pay more taxes, and if you marry more, you will pay more, let's guide it slowly, what do you think?" ”
Hong Yun'er still stared at Xiao Yungui angrily, and felt that this bastard was playing some bad idea, but what this bastard said was also the truth, most of the current women are still dependent on men, marrying a good family is the only purpose of women in this era, even if it is to be a concubine, it is also a blessing to be able to marry a good family, it is really going to block this road, I am afraid that many women will not be able to marry, and many families in order to keep the incense, if the daughter-in-law can't have children, you can't let the family divorce and marry again. Besides, which of the kings of heaven and the king of the east is not accompanied by more than a dozen princesses, how can the people below be convinced?
After thinking for a while, Hong Yun'er reluctantly agreed to Xiao Yungui's statement, but she also had to discuss it with Zuo Zongtang and others. The two discussed for half the night, and it was not until the beginning of the hour that Lin Qirong, Li Tianxi, Chen Zhiming, Zhou Lichun and others came in to say goodbye, and the two stopped.
Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er went to the camp gate to bid farewell to the generals, and Xiao Yungui instructed the generals to report any news in time, if the military situation is urgent, they can make their own decisions, but there is only one purpose, that is, to block Wusongkou as soon as possible. After the generals received the order, one went north and the other went east, and after a short time they all disappeared into the vast night. (To be continued.) )
