Chapter 103: The Flames of War Are Brewing

"Human society is organized, and because of organization, our social development efficiency surpasses that of all living things in the world. But to maintain this organization, some people need to stand up and maintain it. In modern society, these people are managers and at the same time out of production. Taking today's soldiers as an example, except for combat soldiers, who generally do not participate in front-line production, soldiers are out of production. A village of less than 1,000 people in the north in the era of pure agriculture could send 50 troops. This has reached its limit. Any strong labor force in the countryside is very valuable.

It can be seen that in the agricultural era, there was a limit to the number of people who could be raised in a village. The social managers, that is, the petty officials in the villages, who are to be treated with caution, are also out of production, and the managers of our Workers' and Peasants' Party's rooted villages are elected by the village locals and appointed by the agricultural colleges. Participate in management and usually go to the field to do farm work. But it's not out of production. Our real off-duty managers should be at the township level. It is responsible for the exchange of industrial products entering the countryside with agricultural products in the countryside. In terms of numbers, the number of off-duty management personnel at the grassroots level in our county is about ten times that of the officials in Daming. But we are more efficient than Daming.

Because if you want to count the people who have left the work, you must also count another part of the people, the scholars. Since the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, every village has developed a literary style. If a man is admitted to the Juren, the significance to the village is greater than that of a dozen or so middle-aged laborers. Because the gentry could be exempted from a large amount of land taxes. It is possible to be biased in the work of the government organization. Under the banner of not competing with the people for profit, this class forced the feudal government to cede local administrative power, but obtained local administrative power itself. So they took the second step, annexing the land and collecting the ground rent. In 1644, the land rent of the Ming Dynasty was more than 50%, and the part of the Jiangnan region reached 70%. The off-duty here is not only to keep the nobles from working, but to buy a large number of maids and servants to take off work to serve them, hire family members to practice martial arts, and protect them.

However, this part of the workforce population is meaningless to society as a whole. Women embroider, sew clothes, make tea, and work all day just to make the local manager more comfortable, and sometimes even for more face-saving courtesy. However, if it is in an industrial society, this woman enters a textile factory and produces cloth in a day's labor, but it can allow 100 people to have clothes to reduce excess body calorie consumption, so that these 100 people can put more physical strength into production.

The labor of the former has no effect on the growth of social wealth, but the labor of the latter can make the rest of society work more efficiently. At present, most of our society is still hovering around the subsistence line. Everyone cannot survive alone without society, and the days of the South Asian savages are the days when one can live alone. Some wealthy owners in society claim that they can live a noble life without relying on others. But the clothes he wears, the food he eats, the utensils he uses, and even the coal heat energy to boil water are provided by the whole society. However, now they want to live a part-time life above the per capita level of society. Such brazen people are the reactionary class.

This is also the reason why we can defeat the Ming Dynasty, we are not fighting an emperor, but since the emperor, attached to the rule of etiquette and religion, a huge class of people who enjoy too much social resources, these classes are not government employment relations, but the hereditary system of the old master and the young master.

Steel is a tool to pry the world into change, and coal drives the energy of machinery to run itself. Food drives energy that humans can think about and can do their hands, which is the raw wealth of today's society. If we deploy by us, we will win if our allocation efficiency is high, and if we fill our own pockets in the process of allocation, we will be corrupt and ignore party discipline and laws. We're going to fail. -- "Why We Must Win" is from the People's Daily.

The newspaper was held in Yongcheng's hand, and the hand that slapped the gauze on the cup slowly put down the newspaper. Yongcheng has read every word of this article carefully, and it is very immature in grammar, but it is very combative. Democratic Republic, monarchy, civil power, weak monarch, hypocrisy, or constitutional, the newspapers of the Hai Song Dynasty and even the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty have debated under pseudonyms. But there has never been such an article that directly addresses the source of the contradiction in the allocation of resources for social change.

In this case, no one in the Ming Parliament, or even the Haisong Parliament, would dare to say it. It directly singles out the legal status of the current capitalists and farmers in social status, and why they should be the managers of social wealth, but gradually swelled to become the owners of social wealth.

The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Scholars often put themselves into the civil pression of the Ming Emperor, requiring the royal family not to compete with the people. Now this wave of workers and peasants has directly swept the scholars out of the definition of the people, not only the scholars out of the definition of the people, but also the big capitalists who have no knowledge of science and technology, only management experience, but who enjoy the right to allocate the entire enterprise. Kicked out of the concept of the people. Yongcheng felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart.

If the People's Daily had been in the People's Daily, it would have been difficult for the people to get into the newspaper if they had appeared five years ago. But the right to speak in this world changes with the barrel of a gun. Another plane, Marx, was driven out by the monarchies of Europe. Now this plane of monarchy, gentry power, and the right of exploitation of the factory owners, beaten aside by the fists of the workers' and peasants' party, and hated by the ruling class, which has always hoped to go out of production, has sprung up in this world like a flood.

Energy, the change of the world needs energy to be driven. Machinery needs to be powered by fossil fuels. As for the people need food to drive. In the end, there was no follow-up to the huge force of many peasant uprisings in history, because of the destruction, the lack of food production links, and finally died without a problem.

Now, however, the republic is beginning to announce the First Five-Year Plan. A large number of heavy industry workers began to receive on-the-job training. It doesn't take much effort to train workers, first, to be literate, and secondly, to understand the work regulations and to know what to pay attention to in the part of the work they are going to do. Due to the refinement of the work, the work to be done is not difficult.

What's really complicated is to get the simple work that these people do to connect with the industrial system. This industrial standard republic already has, that is, Zhao Weiguo's gift to the people of this land. After the Russian Revolution, Rendi drove out the capitalists and expelled the Russian bourgeoisie, which had a large number of scientists, but the expulsion was completed, the factories were destroyed by foreign troops, and after several five-year plans, they were still restored to being an industrial country. Because the Russian standard is in.

Ren Di's plane, when he was a child, he often heard that the soil method was engaged in science and technology. The word "earth" here looks very derogatory. However, anyone who knows the history of industry knows that the so-called foreign methods, advanced foreign machines, have been improved step by step by experiments from the initial simple and more earthy methods of foreign countries, and more advanced machines have been built step by step with local methods, and have become advanced foreign science and technology systems. Therefore, it is an unfair comparison to compare the post-war reconstruction of Western Europe and Japan's post-war reconstruction of the ruins with the reconstruction of the industrial system of New China. There is no need for tens of thousands of annealings and pinching time to grasp the correctness of a process. As long as the state invests money, it can gradually use the experience of the former clay factory to build machines along the lines of its own industrial history, and re-grow the industrial system.

From here, we can see what Zhao Weiguo has given to the world? Of course, now Ren Di's logistics talent and contribution are ranked second. The cost of processing steel materials is reduced to a negligible level. When the Soviet industry expanded, it used the money produced by a steel plant to buy machinery for a steel plant in Europe. Now, with Ren Di here, he directly processes it with raw materials, and it is faster to make than to sell. The effect of forging with a large hydraulic press is done with a small hydraulic press. The time is shorter. It works better. This is the effect of a temporary change in the properties of the material. There is no need to consume a large amount of coal to heat the softened material. Direct forging saves a lot of fuel costs.

Huaibei has a tendency to develop towards a super industrial zone. The whole Huaibei began to absorb a large number of rural people and became an industrial population. Along with it were fertilizers, steel machinery, and hot steam engines that were returned to the countryside. You must know that the machinery used by the republic to absorb the population into the industrial system in the first place was often exchanged for a large amount of grain exports. Now so much food has not been lost. On the contrary, it is more effective to drive the passion of the workers and peasants who have just turned over to become the masters.

Any problem that can be solved by labor is not a problem as long as there is food, and any work that lacks mechanical ability is not a problem in the eyes of Ren Di, an evolved officer. On the basis of the Daming railway, the explosives produced by the coal mine as energy were chiseled out of large areas of limestone on the lime mountain, and then entered the cement kiln to be burned by the heat of the coal, mixed with gypsum clay, and turned into cement. Rebar is stuffed and steam demolded to turn into cement sleepers. After the autumn harvest, during the slack time, local farmers were hired to join in road construction with the renminbi that could be used to buy light industrial products. In this era when income levels are not high, the cost to the locals is really very small.

But the speed at which the railway is extended is very fast. Under the action of steam machinery, the efficiency of Ren Di to process steel ingots into rails is about 5,000 tons a day (Ren Di's force field is opened at the limit. It softened in less than ten seconds, and the steel was still very hard relative to the flesh, but it was already easy under the action of the steam engine. )。 Now the interval between the two rails of the Republic is 1435 mm (this width is the Haisong standard, but also the Ming standard. In order to be in line with the old rails, the Republic could only adopt this standard. A single rail weighing 50 kilograms per meter belongs to a heavy rail, and Ren Di can handle the steel rail in a day, and about 50 kilometers of railway can be built Ren Di has been busy for about 30 days. This is mainly a task assigned by Zhao Weiguo. Finally, the railway that runs through Henan, leads to Xi'an, and reaches Lanzhou is opened on the basis of the original railway in the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, the main artery of the Republic to control the northwest has been formed, and the prototype of the Lanzhou Military Region has begun to appear, and the northwest military force led by Yunchen will have a radical change in 1705. As for Ren Di, Ren Di is now accumulating food and ammunition and accumulating railways to the north. Reduce transportation consumption for future wars. The population of the southern part of Henan, Shandong, and Jinji provinces is large enough to support the expansion of the North China Army of the Republic, and the number of troops under Ren Di's control will reach 300,000. The firepower ratio will be 2,000 guns. At the same time, a large number of Republic pilots will go north.

War is about to break out in the north.
