Chapter 254 Changes (Part 2)
Fang Xin's real estate or semi-real estate award is a stroke of genius
Because having money alone has no effect on social promotion, only by establishing an industry can it promote it. Not to mention the far-reaching significance, it is enough to just absorb refugees.
On Earth, the Chinese Empire developed rapidly during the Song and Ming dynasties. There is no need to say much about the Song Dynasty, what about Ming?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang belittled the industry and commerce, in fact, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, all officials had already done business.
In other words, there are one or more adults in the officialdom behind any commercial institution, so two typical events broke out.
Wanli mining incident - In the 24th year of Wanli, Wanli sent eunuchs to many provinces to supervise mining and collect mining taxes. When Emperor Wanli wanted to collect mining taxes, all imperial officials, whether they were central, local, north and south, or from all factions, all opposed it.
Why? It was nothing more than the minerals at that time, all of them were the industries of officials.
The second is the tax collection incident
In the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court sent Sun Long to increase the tax on the machine households. More than 2,000 craftsmen in the whole city of Suzhou were spinning, silk weaving, dyeing, and kicking cloth. Under the leadership of Ge Cheng, more than 2,000 people gathered in Xuanmiaoguan to fight against taxes. Sun Long was forced to flee Hangzhou. Ge Cheng was arrested and imprisoned, and was released in the 41st year of Wanli. After his death, Huqiu was buried.
When Fang Xin thought of this, he could only sneer. Is the commercial tax high in the Ming Dynasty? Of course, it is not high for one to get thirty. The commercial tax is only a few hundred thousand taels per year, and under normal circumstances, there is ten million, so why should we resist taxes? Where did the money in it go? Of course, it was in the hands of officials.
As for the five-person tombstone incident in the future, the articles on the earth were listed as school textbooks, which were actually just an incident where officials and businessmen resisted the normal tax collection of the imperial court.
However, although I can't stand it, it is undeniable that the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty were protected by bureaucrats and flourished. If there were no Qing Dynasty, it would not be a problem to be promoted to a capitalist society.
For the current large-scale plane, capital has passed the "baby stage" with the protection of the nobles. Fang Xin's promotion is just to hope to make this capital more popular and split.
Fang Xin has no intention of reforming the countryside, because for him, the rural problems of a certain country on earth are just a way of violence, not a way of development.
On Earth, in the 15th century, capital development, and a large number of wealthy nobles began to invest in industry and commerce.
In order to raise sheep and obtain labor, a land enclosure movement was launched, which forced a large number of extremely poor farmers to enter the city to work and have nothing to do.
Because workers had nothing and many people were pouring in, the wages of workers were very low, and they had to work more than ten hours a day. It was because of this misleading that two people once considered this class as the proletariat.
This happened in China in the 20th century on Earth. A large number of foreign goods poured in, rural areas went bankrupt, and a large number of farmers became migrant workers. Compared with the number of factories at that time, workers were far higher than needed, so the wages were extremely low, the working hours were extremely long, and there was also the shadow of the proletariat. The famous article was "contract workers"
However, for Fang Xin's large-scale plane, the path to capital promotion is much easier
It's very simple. Now the large-scale plane has penetrated into the grassland. The wool from the textile industry can be obtained from the grassland. Secondly, there is no impact on foreign goods. The world's industrial upgrading has its own gradual rule - it will not cause rural bankruptcy all at once.
Therefore, in rural areas, since the scale of rural areas is dozens of times larger than that of Britain, the excess farmers can basically meet the development of industry and commerce every year, so there is no need to force farmers to enter production and work through land enclosure. Of course, the same is true for the same, there is no external interference and the gradual development also makes cities and industry and commerce not need to deal with countless bankrupt farmers at once.
Every year, farmers who go to the city due to disasters or natural excesses are just in line with the way of evolution, which not only meets the needs of industry and commerce for workers' development, but also prevents wages from being too low because of too many migrant workers.
Especially in recent years, due to the order to give in, many industries have been added, which has led to an increase in the demand for migrant workers. In the countryside, migrant workers who have naturally become rich and transferred to cities cannot even meet their needs, and wages have increased.
The countryside does not go bankrupt and can support the development of cities and industries and commerce. This is almost a perfect path of evolution, several times more perfect than the evolution of capitalism in the West.
The most perfect thing is that the imperial examination system will not be abolished, so that the Confucian scholar-official class will bear the responsibilities of civil servants (civil servants) in capital society, balance each other, and supervise each other.
To be honest, Fang Xin couldn't understand why the imperial examination system was abolished - the Western administrative civil servant examination system. Isn't it the imperial examination system?
On the contrary, the path of development is to further refine it so that the "officials" below will also carry out the imperial examination system. Of course, the subjects in the examination will be different.
After all, developing capital is one thing. If administrative units are capitalized, they will lose their national public responsibility and morality. Then social corruption will become a plague spreading across the country. China in the 21st century on Earth is in a state of no faith, which will not shock Fang Xin?
Who said that Chinese Confucian society cannot evolve into a capitalist society?
This is a more perfect, harmonious and powerful path than Western capital evolution
At this time, Fang Xin had already completely confirmed his victory. When he was in a state of enlightenment, he heard someone say, "Oh, this is Mr. Sun, I have been retiring for a long time!"
"So it was Principal He, who has been relied on for a long time."
Fang Xin was stunned when he heard this, and turned around and saw a middle-aged man who was bringing him to have a banquet.
"Master, this is He Xinzhi, the principal of one of the twenty new technical schools in the imperial capital, and a ninth-rank official." Xiang Luoyan whispered.
At this time, the meal had been finished, and Fang Xin said, "Mr. Sun, I have something to do, so I will take a step back first. I will be really speculating today. I will see you again if you have the chance!"
Sun Baoya smiled and nodded, not leaving much.
Fang Xin went downstairs and got downstairs. A few people followed him and looked around with caution.
"How is He Xinzhi like this?"
"When I go back to the emperor, this person still has some knowledge. Last year, he started it and recruited some old craftsmen and made standard textbooks and technicians he taught were very popular among all workshops and factories..." Xiang Luoyan's attitude changed drastically and he said cautiously.
Fang Xin smiled and said, "Forget it, I understand!"
After saying that, he walked in a while and pondered silently.
Fang Xin didn't do any compulsory education at all. Although the court has obtained a large number of new tax sources after the order of favor, the national finance has suddenly increased by 30 million silver dollars, and it is still increasing continuously. I really want to do compulsory education and have this capital.
But Fang Xin doesn't do it, at least not now
The reason is very simple. At this historical stage, ignorant people are beneficial to the society's progress.
Intellectuals, like workers, have an employment rate problem. Once more unemployed, it will lead to social unrest.
So now Fang Xin follows the Avenue and establishes a technical school to train technical personnel.
Unlike on Earth, there is no political class, social class, and not even Chinese class, as long as they can read and write.
Moreover, in fact, folk education is enough
With the development of printing technology, a large number of people have opened academies among the people, and Dafan Private School is very prosperous. With the development of the times, academy lectures have begun to develop, involving music, geography, mathematics, astronomy, calendar, and water conservancy. These are the developments of the times.
In this regard, Fang Xin looked at it quietly, neither happy nor angry
For the current historical stage, folk intellectuals are enough, the only way is to guide their development direction.
Perhaps, if we wait for another thirty or fifty years, the Constitution, Parliament, and compulsory education can be carried out, and then it will be appropriate. Fang Xin thought so, and he relaxed his mind and looked around. He saw that there were people coming and going, and the streets were everywhere.
Fang Xin walked along the river and watched the scenery while walking.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, should you go back to the palace?" Xiang Luoyan waited for another half an hour and asked, "When the Empress came, she ordered the minister to remind the emperor."
"I understand." Fang Xin said, in the third year of Yuan Dynasty, Fang Xin married the queen. Although considering the time of reign, Fang Xin did not have children immediately, but the inner palace also had one, one, two concubines, which fit the tradition of this era
Speaking of this, Fang Xin suddenly remembered a question, which was the impact of the order to give up.
Since the family is divided, will the nobles carefully consider the issue of marrying concubines? After all, there is no effective method of contraception, but with more sons, more family property is divided.
Of course, this was just a random thought. Fang Xin turned around and signaled to go back.
A moment later, a carriage that had been well-behaved stopped, the door opened, and the emperor went back
The Royal coachman drove the carriage forward steadily, and the horse whip flicked in the air, making a crisp sound.
A large number of guards followed secretly
Fang Xin is definitely not the one who visited the private server. He was not a white dragon fish suit when he went out. He was surrounded by a large number of guards and spies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It can be said that he was basically as solid as a golden soup.
With Fang Xin's power to use, there is no need to be so, no one can assassinate him
But this is the rule, the rule that an emperor should have
This is how the Tao is reflected in every move
Halfway through the carriage, someone came to report quickly. Fang Xin couldn't help but frown. He was already back, and someone reported it. It must be a big deal.
"What's the matter?" As soon as the carriage stopped, he asked. Fang Xin asked, "The person who came was a second-class guard."
There are 1,500 guards in the inner palace, all of whom are loyal and powerful in martial arts. They are divided into fifth grade, fifth grade guards, ninth grade, ninth grade, ninth grade, fourth grade guards, eighth grade, third grade guards, seventh grade, second grade guards, fifth grade guards, first grade guards - the chief minister of the guards is the fourth grade
"The Emperor, the Royal Interior Fleet, discovered Silver Mountain on overseas islands, this is preliminary information."
"Oh?" Fang Xin took a look, and gradually his face changed slightly
Due to the concept of the continent and the fact that there are no other continents in this world, the ocean is not valued, and even if there are many time travelers, it is useless to guide them.
After all, it will not prosper without profit, it will not flourish. It is just a coastal island as an embellishment or a supply port development.
Only Fang Xin sent a fleet to cruise around and expand the map drawn. Unexpectedly, he discovered an island with silver mountains.
The island is only a hundred square kilometers in area, but it is reported that one of the mountains has a large number of silver mines, and it is almost an open-pit silver mine.
