Chapter 430: A Spark Can Fire a Prairie Fire
In the cold weather, Kong Wenshao didn't know how many times he had shed a cold sweat, and the reader thought a lot, at this time, his first feeling was why Ren Xing said this, could it be that he was scolding Huai?
Over the years, the Kong family has taken advantage of the disaster to annex more land, where did the Kong family get so much land now?
Naturally, they are all mergers or forced purchases and forced sales!
The Chinese nation, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, has a deep land complex, gold and silver treasures are precious, but they are not as good as land, because land is the greatest wealth that can be passed down to children and grandchildren!
The children of rich families spend all day drinking with silver, and they will definitely be scolded for squandering money, but if they take silver to buy land, even if it is expensive, they will definitely be praised.
Land annexation is the source of the country's ruin, don't the nobles themselves know it?
They know! But even if you know, what can you do, you will definitely not be soft when it is time to annex, as for whether the small people will die if they lose their land, it has something to do with them having a penny of silver?
"Your Majesty said something that made our family feel deeply." Ren Xing said with emotion: "This sentence is that a spark can start a prairie fire!" What does Yan Shenggong know? ”
Kong Wenshao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has a deep meaning, how dare Kong speculate."
Ren Xing said: "A little spark can ignite the entire wilderness, how simple is the meaning on the surface, but what is the deep meaning?" The thieves of the past dynasties are not just that little spark, they may not be taken seriously when they are ignited, but once they form a prairie fire, then a generation of dynasties will be burned to ashes! ”
Kong Wenshao exclaimed: "Your Majesty's words are deafening, and they are even reasonable."
"With His Majesty's majesty and strategy, he has deduced more than once, and finally has to sigh that land annexation is an insoluble thing, because he has no way to curb the greed of people's hearts, nor can he spy on the selfishness of human nature, let alone make the gentry and nobles put the country first and the family as the light......"
Kong Wenshao thought so, and took the Kong family as an example, asking him to give up or damage the interests of the Kong family to fulfill the Ming Dynasty, which is nonsense.
Even to say a big disrespectful word, just by virtue of the remnants of the ancestors, even if the Ming Dynasty dies, and then change the dynasty, Yan Shenggong is still Yan Shenggong!
The rulers of the dynasty need Confucianism, because Confucianism can ensure the legitimacy of the new dynasty and can rule the world for the new dynasty!
"From ancient times to the present, in the long river of history, there has never been such a holy monarch as His Majesty today, although he knows that land annexation is difficult to contain, but His Majesty still came up with a countermeasure!"
Kong Wenshao was surprised, the Son of Heaven first said that there was no solution to the land annexation, and now he said that there was a way to deal with it, isn't this inconsistent?
"Your Majesty's strategy is to enrich the world with business, and change the world with work!" Ren Xingzheng said: "To put it simply, the people of the world no longer rely on the land for survival, even if they lose the land, they can still eat, drink, and dress warmly!"
This is impossible, this is Kong Wenshao's thought, but he didn't dare to say it.
"I am afraid that the greatest virtue in the world is the abolition of conscription by Your Majesty." Ren Xing said with a smile: "With the abolition of forced labor, the people do not need to be appointed by the government to be free laborers, but someone must do the things in the world, but if the people want to do it, the government will have to pay the wages, one of them."
Second, for example, various new industries are emerging one after another, such as iron and steel making, mining and road construction, bridge construction and river control, etc., there are countless places that need to use labor, and these new industries, whether they are government or private, require a large number of laborers, and they need to be recruited.
The Confucian family built the railway from Jinan to Qufu, if it was changed a few years ago, then Yan Shenggong would inevitably levy and issue conscription to lay the railway with the power of conscription, but now?
Without conscription, the Kong family can only recruit workers, and if they recruit workers, they will be paid, and if they don't pay them, who will work for the Kong family? People can support their families with wages through work, and as long as a few families work hard, they can earn dozens of taels of silver a year, so even if they encounter natural disasters, they can survive safely with their savings.
And what is the essence of land annexation? It is the gentry who took advantage of the natural disaster to lend money to the people, and the people could only repay their debts with land if they could not repay the loans. ”
Kong Wenshao praised: "Your Majesty's insight, Kong admires it very much."
"But it's not enough." Ren Xing sighed: "I heard that the Kong family recruits laborers, only gives one full meal at noon a day, and only gives five dollars of silver a month's salary at the beginning, what is this?"
This is oppression, it is exploitation! Your Majesty is furious! So it was decided to form a trade union. ”
"Unions?" Kong Wenshao didn't know why.
Ren Xing said with a smile: "The trade union is also the workers' federation, and the purpose of establishing a trade union is to protect the rights and interests of workers, which includes listening to the demands of workers, accepting labor disputes, formulating and improving the minimum labor plan for it, as well as identifying and compensating for work-related injuries, and bereavement and fines for work-related deaths......
Kong Wenshao was already stupid......
"To put it simply, the minimum wage for recruiting workers is one or two a month, there is no limit, once there is a work-related injury, then the trade union has the right to order the industrial and commercial Jia or gentry to compensate the injured workers in accordance with the standard, if they refuse to pay compensation, then the trade union must intervene, and after the trade union intervenes, it can file a complaint with the procuratorate according to the actual situation, and severely punish the worker!
As for the death of work, in addition to compensating for the established work-related death pension, it is also necessary to impose heavy fines, how to impose heavy fines, by the trade union, but it will be limited to a range, according to the number and nature of the number of work-related deaths, as for the fines need to be paid to local banks, issued tickets, in order to set an example! ”
Kong Wenshao nodded as if he didn't understand, but he still didn't understand, Ren Xing talked to him about what he didn't mean.
"Your Majesty said that trade unions should be established in all localities, provincial trade unions should be established in all provinces, and federations of trade unions should be established in the two capitals. Ren Xing took out a booklet from his arms, and there were four big characters on it.
Union Rules!
"This detailed rule is the operating regulations of the trade union, and Yan Shenggong can slowly appreciate it."
"What does my father-in-law mean?"
"The provincial trade union needs a president, and the president of each trade union needs the patriarch of a famous family from all over the country to serve as a president, in the territory of Shandong, except for Yan Shenggong, who else is qualified to serve as the president?"
"Huh?" Kong Wenshao was a little confused and said: "Kong is the president of the provincial trade union?"
"Not bad." Ren Xing nodded and said: "The responsibilities of the president and the responsibilities to be borne are clearly written in this detailed rule, in a word, if you do it well, Your Majesty will be rewarded, and it is also the president who is not accountable for doing well!"
"Kong Moucai is a shallow learner...... Kong Wenshao immediately knew that this president must be a thankless errand, and immediately wanted to resign.
"This is His Majesty's decree! Does the Holy Father want to resist the decree? ”
Kong Wenshao: "......"
