: The Love of the Present World Chapter 6: Aunt Qian's Concern

After Luo Xi finished eating, the time was still early, the class started at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was 12:40 after eating.

Now I don't have to cook and wash the dishes by myself, so I have a lot of time.

Luo Xi stood for a while after eating, this is a habit developed since childhood, you can't sit or sleep directly after eating, your mother said that she will accumulate food and gain weight.

After standing for ten minutes, I went back to my room, the original owner's room was very beautiful and exquisitely furnished.

When Luo Xi entered the door, she soon found that two new pop-up bookshelves were added, on both sides of the desk.

Luo Xi thought, this may have been Aunt Qian's self-inflicted one!

Luo Xi sat down and finished her math homework, and through the window on the opposite side, there was sunlight pouring in, inexplicably warm!

Just as she was about to take a nap, Aunt Qian came in.

"This is a new mobile phone for you, usually turn off when you are in class, your mobile phone is a little old, it is inconvenient to consult study materials, if there is any accident, call us!"

Aunt Qian thought for a while and continued: "There are your three brothers in it, as well as the phone numbers of me and your uncle, and this is Uncle Li's phone, your brothers are usually busy to death, so I want to let Uncle Li pick you up in the future, Aunt Luoxi, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Qian!" Luo Xi hugged Aunt Qian.

"Usually it's just the two of us at home, and you can chat with me more after you finish your homework. The evening self-study is the same at home, our Mo family's daughter doesn't need to be very good, and her grades don't matter."

"Haha, Aunt Qian, you are really different, you are too good to me, which parent of a high school student wouldn't put on a face and say that you must study hard?"

"Luo Xi, to tell you the truth, I hope you grow up healthy and healthy, and your life is safe, and there is no shortage of other things in our family! There are four big men working outside, the daughter of the Mo family doesn't need to work hard, the daughter of the Mo family is used to spoil! As he spoke, he touched Luo Xi's head lovingly.

"Ah, Aunt Qian, you are too good to me!"

"I almost forgot, I got you a WeChat, you can come by yourself with a nickname or something, now it's all WeChat payment, your WeChat account is directly bound to your pocket money account, and your pocket money is 50,000 a month! This is what your uncle gives every month, and as for what your brothers give extra, you take it. ”

"Why are you giving me so much money? I usually don't have a place to spend it," Luo Xi thought, a lot of money.

"There are a lot of them, usually classmates celebrate their birthdays to give a small gift or something, they always have to spend, right? However, Luo Xi, you can't learn badly, you are not allowed to smoke or drink, Aunt Qian is not bluffing you, some things are resolutely not allowed! These are not good for the body of the girl paper, good ha. ”

"I know, I won't get contaminated with those bad habits, I'm a sophomore in high school, not a child"

"I'm not afraid that you haven't been in contact with the sinister nature of society, so I remind you first, and also, boys are not allowed to hold your hand casually" Aunt Qian is like a chicken mother, for fear that her child will be deceived!

"Aunt Qian, thank you, I know" Luo Xi said sincerely.

"My Luo Xi is so beautiful, I'm afraid that I will go to school and be cheated away"

"No," Luo Xi shook Aunt Qian's arm.

Aunt Qian didn't say anything more, let Luo Xi take a rest, and touched Luo Xi's head again before leaving.

Luo Xi took a nap, got up and watched "Ordinary World" for a while, only watched it for 30 minutes, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Xi said goodbye to Aunt Qian, and the other three brothers had already gone to work.

Luo Xi arrived at the school for twenty-five, and when she walked into the HA class on the third floor, she found that the classmates were all quiet and doing their homework.

When Luo Xi entered, they all seemed to be surprised to look at it, and then they seemed to understand! Luo Xi felt inexplicable.

Luo Xi didn't understand, so he didn't care, and walked to his place and sat down.

Yi Chen took out Luo Xi's notebook and put it on Luo Xi's desk: "Thank you" The voice was cold and did not have the slightest temperature.

Luo Xi was taking a book from the desk drawer and said casually: "No thanks"

Luo Xi, who took out the book, casually stuffed the notebook on the table into the pocket of the table.

The first session in the afternoon was history, and the history teacher, who was also Luo Xi's homeroom teacher, came slowly with steady steps.

Luo Xi has always been very interested in history, and today the history teacher will not open a new class, but will teach a special class.

It is about the history of capitalism in ancient China.

1. Causes and conditions for the emergence of capitalism:

1. Productivity: In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the development of productivity and the prosperity of the commodity economy.

2. Labor: The relaxation of personal attachment provides free labor. (In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, personal control over peasants and artisans was relaxed)

3. Market: Domestic: Urban Development; Abroad: In 1567, "Longqing opened the sea", the recovery and development of foreign trade.

After the teacher finished talking about this, the teacher asked if it was right?

Students are right!

The teacher then asked a question, the reason for the slow and tortuous development of capitalism:

Next, the students' answers were uneven, probably mentioning the key points: political corruption in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, increased government taxes, hindering economic progress, and the influence of the ancient Chinese ideology of "valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce".

Then the teacher explained: "Since ancient times, China has been a unitary feudal monarchy and centralized state, and the huge imperial organization is maintained by directly collecting taxes from the small peasant class throughout the country. At that time, there was no modern economic theory, and the state tax calculation had no scientific basis, so it could only be simply apportioned evenly to the whole country, which did not have the function of macroeconomic regulation and control, and had no positive effect on the social economy. Fiscal and tax revenues are mostly used for extravagance and squandering or to support the army, and huge wealth cannot be returned to the normal economic circulation, the private economy cannot profit from it, private wealth cannot be effectively guaranteed, and capital is naturally unable to accumulate. This is the fundamental reason for the sluggish development of the budding capitalism in China. ”

(2) Economy: The natural economy is dominant, the market scope is small, and the space for capitalist development is limited: the small-scale peasant economy based on a single family and a small plot of land can only barely support the life of a family, and neither human resources nor land area have the conditions for expanding reproduction. As a result, it is unable to guarantee a stable output of surplus products, let alone to support a private market with sufficient spending power.

(3) Ideology: Confucian orthodoxy, emphasizing righteousness over profit, discriminating against business, and not attaching importance to science and technology.

(4) Policy: The Ming and Qing dynasties adhered to the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business and closing the country to the outside world;

(5) Subjective: A large amount of wealth accumulated by commerce is used to purchase land, loan sharks, and provide for children's education, which restricts capital accumulation and expanded reproduction.

Commentary: In the Ming and Qing dynasties, after the Hui merchants and Jin merchants made a fortune, they all bought fields and opened pawnshops, believing that the fields were the most reliable industry, and usury could benefit from it. This greatly hinders the transformation of social wealth into industrial capital, and restricts the growth of capitalism.

"Now, I would like to ask, does anyone say anything else to add to this topic? Tell us what you think! ”

"I'm going to take the roll call, or our new classmate Mo Luoxi will talk about it."

Mo Luoxi stood up, "Teacher, is it okay to have any ideas?" ”

"Of course," the teacher said with a smile

The other students racked their brains and wondered, what else could I add to this?

Yi Chen glanced at Luo Xi, he had actually seen it a long time ago.

"What if I say, the topic is changed to why did capitalism sprout in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China?"

The students below were all quiet, and it was actually the question itself???

"You go ahead and say what you think," the teacher smiled all the time.

"Capitalism is an organization, a system. The more private capital accumulates, the more power it has to manipulate public life. At the same time, commercial capital is the forerunner of industrial capital, and when commerce is fully developed, the development of industry can be similarly enhanced. This is characteristic of the development of capitalism in Europe and the United States.

Traditional Chinese politics did not have the ability to organize it, nor did it want private wealth to expand to a point where it was not easy to control, and it was a burden to the security of the dynasty. So there is capitalism? ”

"Or maybe there are some ancient books about the emergence of private workshops, but that is only comparable to the emergence of capitalism in Italy!"

After Luo Xi finished speaking, the students suddenly realized that they had all ignored the things they were most familiar with!

The gap between capitalism and the budding capitalism has widened!

"There should be applause here," the teacher said, and the students below burst into applause.
