From Chief to Ball

The businessmen present were very interested in the gifts that Chen Jian threw out. Silver Mirror is a profitable industry, and they can afford to wait even ten years.

In calculation, it is nothing more than borrowing money as usury, the collateral to recover the principal after ten years, and the remaining profits for the next few decades and future generations are interest.

In this way, the sales division of some remote counties is no longer tasteless. Even if there is no need for too much cement, there will be a silver mirror market that has been opened ten years later.

This time, the merchants also thought it over clearly. Those with more money were naturally planning to take over the markets of the capital city and several coastal counties, and those with less money would even lend out some usury loans with a ten-year turnover to occupy those remote counties.

As long as China is still a unified market, as long as there is no division, it will still be able to earn a stable long-term income ten years later.

Speculators with spare cash are waiting for the opportunity to auction a large amount of state-owned wasteland, but now it seems that this opportunity will take ten years or more. It is better to speculate on this for a long time, even if you don't use it in the future, you can resell it to others.

With calculations in mind, they wrote out prices they could accept one after another. Chen Jian smiled happily when he got them, basically meeting his expectations.

In return for bargaining, Chen Jian began to reduce the production of silver mirrors eight years later, reducing the delivery and sales of other counties and counties, so as to ensure that these people could benefit immediately in the tenth year.

As for those next door who need to sell crucible steel, it is much simpler.

Crucible steel has many uses, but it is expensive, so it is generally used in tools, knives, drilling tools, turning tools and the like.

The quality is better than the steel quality circulating in the market, and the price is relatively cheap compared to the same quality.

It's just that these industries have their own guilds, which can be negotiated internally to determine the purchase quantity of crucible steel, and then redistributed internally.

Chen Jian also said that he will not get involved in the various workshops that exist today, but only sell raw materials.And because of the existence of the guild system, all walks of life are independent of each other, there is no complete complex of coal, iron, steel and forging fine processing, so the enemies of crucible steel are only those who originally used other methods to produce steel.

First use knives to attract the attention and fear of these workshop guilds, and then tell them that they will not produce to meet their initial expectations, and the rest will be easy to talk about.

The workshop guild needs Chen Jian to help monopolize the crucible steel ingots to ensure that the rest of the non-guild members do not get good raw materials.Chen Jian also needed to build a good relationship with these guilds, and he didn't want to make too many enemies. In some places, he needed the help of these local guilds.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and after some intrigue, they settled on the price and the approximate annual supply, and paid a deposit.

On the other side, the negotiation with Hu Lin has also ended.

The flat glass is sold by local merchants in the capital, who are only responsible for earning the price difference, and the price can be higher in the short term.

The rest of the glass lamps, decorations and utensils are entrusted sales commissions. In addition, the trading company will also open a branch in the capital, which can be retailed on weekdays, and by the way, gain a foothold.

I don't want to eat so much that people will hate it, and giving up some of the benefits to get more locals involved is also a kind of self-protection.

Coupled with the impressive publicity a few days ago, the market can be regarded as basically opened.

After seeing off these people, Chen Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his face, which was a little hot after drinking, and found some cold water to wash it off.

Hu Lin walked into Chen Jian's room and saw that the bill was on the table, without a paperweight or a pen horizontally, which meant that he could look at it at will.

Glancing at the numbers above, he couldn't help but yelled, and came out and said, "Brother Chen, have you made a fortune? Counting the money in your hands now, you can rank high in Min City, right?"

Chen Jian patted his face and said with a wry smile: "I have overdrafted my income for ten years, and I have withdrawn it all at once. These are just cash. When it comes to real estate, real estate, etc., what am I in Mincheng?" I don’t have a large manor with tens of thousands of acres of land. Even if I can live another 50 years, the income from selling mirrors in the next 40 years alone is not the only thing.”

Hu Lin vaguely felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What are you in a hurry to do? You have been fighting for the day and night for 50 years."

"There are a lot of things to do, and you are here to watch me, let me fulfill the promise. If you want to fulfill the promise, you have to fulfill it from the beginning. Children's education, future pension, disability benefits, new machines, and more All kinds of situations after the appearance of the new machine have to be considered one by one. Do you think it is too much? I still think this money is not enough. Now you know why you asked me to borrow 1 silver coins in a few years, and I agreed directly Right? Brother Zhu Gan, 1 silver coins can’t do anything.”

Hu Lin was a little embarrassed, and said with a shy smile: "Brother Chen doesn't have to run on me. At that time, what I thought was that the country is small and the people are few, self-contained, self-sufficient. Farming and weaving education, basic necessities of life, everyone contributes, regardless of the city. Other things. Now it seems that I was still young at that time, and I didn't think too much about it."

"It's not that you think too little, it's that your idea is still very attractive to many people. But it is not attractive to people like me. Whether it can be successful or not, let's talk about it. It's as self-sufficient as you think, mine Who will the workshop products be sold to? What do you do with the iron in the small town of your dreams? Nowadays, those large Daye iron workshops with hydraulic blasts can produce thousands of catties of iron a day. You count your small town How much can each person produce in a day?"

While talking, the two sat on the stone bench next to them.

"Brother Zhu Gan, I still say the same thing, what is progress? One person can create more things in one day than before, that is progress. As for the saying that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, that is okay. Think about it. You can’t say to prevent that, go back to a time when a person was producing less in a day than they are now.”

Hu Lin nodded and asked, "I recall what you said when those 90 people withdrew from our Mo party before coming to the capital. You said that our purpose is to let one person create more things every day than before. , say that we want to represent the most advanced productivity."

Chen Jian smiled and said, "That's right, who do you think is the progressive productivity?"

Hu Lin shook his head, Chen Jian pointed to himself and said: "I, and those big farmers who occupy hundreds of acres of land, and those workshop owners who use hydraulic machinery. We are the productive forces of progress. Don't believe it, Let me ask you, compared to a person who spends a year working on dozens of acres of land, for those large farmers who own thousands of acres of land, does the hired labor they work there create more value than a small owner farmer? How many? For example, those hydraulic workshops, do they create more value than those handmade individuals? If there are more, then it is advanced."

Hu Lin nodded and said: "I agree with this, but I still don't understand what you said to protect their interests. Isn't this contrary to our purpose? What we said at the beginning was for more people to live better, But such people as you said are only a minority.”

"How could it run counter to it? This protection, how is it protected? Take those big farmers as an example. I want to protect them, but I don't mean to protect them from paying taxes. For example, they don't pay taxes now, and all taxes are transferred to the On the heads of hired workers and small farmers, let me ask you, is this maintenance? I don’t think so, this is not only not maintenance, but a disaster.”

Hu Lin frowned, and Chen Jian explained: "Think about it, the poor have to pay taxes when they get poorer, and the rich don't have to pay taxes when they get richer. Then what should the people below do if they can't survive? We can only pick up The gun is here to do it. After the work is done? The field must be divided equally, and everyone will be given a small piece of land. Isn’t this a problem? Isn’t this going backwards? Then who do you think is to blame? Of course It's the big planter who killed himself."

Hu Lin laughed for a while, and said: "Just joking, according to what you said, you should form a party with those people."

"That's right. I opened my mouth and said for a long time, why don't the middle and lower classes stand up and show their strength. I pointed to a wall and said, don't dig, or you will be smashed to death. But I am not a god, who would believe it? It’s better to knock down a section of the wall and kill a few, and after pondering the rest, it turns out that this stupid-looking wall can really kill people, which is much more useful than telling them for a long time.”

"Another one, just take this wall as an example. Do they know who to smash now? I don't think they know yet. They won't hit those who dig the wall. On the contrary, they will think that it is those hoes, shovels, etc. The tools are harming me. Since this is the case, I have to smash those tools and hate those tools instead of smashing people."

"Everyone is still young and needs to keep learning. Our party is actually a cram school, and there are all kinds of people. In 20 or even 30 years, it is not to do big things, but to learn how to run a party and how to do it. Compromise, how to retreat, how to fight. In the future, it is better to part ways in the future than to gather together and talk nonsense with three or five people, even if you don't have your own program, demands, and theories, right?"

"Brother Zhugan, the future of Fujian City is a training ground. All kinds of propositions will appear there. The truth will become clearer and clearer, and the methods will become more and more proficient. In the future, there will be big fights, barricades, black flags, strikes and smashing machines. Shock pressure... just get used to it. You have to remember that conflicts did not arise because of the emergence of the Mexican party. On the contrary, the Mexican party understands that it must fight for its own interests before there are differences for the interests of all parties. In the future, the At home, the situation is the same, but everyone is mature, and neither side is too naive."

Chapter 1 and One Childish Disagreement

As for the future separation or split, Hu Lin heard Chen Jian talk about it more than once.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Chen Jian was a bit alarmist, but after hearing it many times, it was inevitable that he felt a little panicked.

Hu Lin thought that when Chen Jian was electing the party's internal executive committee in Mincheng, Chen Jian was responsible for promoting the party leader and mouthpiece, as if he was afraid of getting involved.

Even though he is the initiator, even though he came up with many ideas first, he seems to have no interest in it or even shirks it.

In the end, he only served as the person in charge of the party's financial affairs and responsible for scientific propaganda.Thinking about it now, Hu Lin felt that Chen Jian might have said so much, and he might not agree with any of what he said, and his mind was not on these things at all.

Thinking about what Chen Jian said about the cram school, Hu Lin probably understood a little bit.

Now that even I am dizzy, what is my vision for the future?Those original thoughts now seem ridiculous and simple, no matter whether it is because he has been with Chen Jian for so long that he was persuaded by him, but at least at this moment he is convinced that his previous thoughts were too naive.

After discovering childishness, it also means more doubts about the future.After thinking about it, I can only think that I am afraid that what is needed at this time is really a cram school, not the maturity that can be used after graduation.

A few days later, there was another party that had already been prepared but never held. This time, the participants were really diverse, basically including the entire capital who likes to idle away and discuss politics or is passionate and wants to change all kinds of things. Unjust young man.

All kinds of stories are true, there are students who came to the capital to study from other places, children of bureaucrats, young handicraft craftsmen, Mr. Kai Meng, heirs of the old nobles...

There are many kinds of things, there are many people, there are many people who can read and write, and there are many people who like this kind of thing.

For the host of the banquet, so many people can't help him. There are many parties like this in the capital, so he has rich experience.

Those who come and go are not celebrities in the true sense, but they can be regarded as some well-known figures in their respective small circles, and they are not the kind of dull middle-aged and elderly banquets, which are inevitably a bit messy.

As usual, the owner can shuttle between the flowers like a hardworking butterfly.Resolve embarrassment and create a happy small circle that can chat... It's like a grassland, dotted with flowers of various colors, each flower is divided into several petals, surrounding a center, miscellaneous but not chaotic.

The careful host can always place any petal near the suitable stamen, so the guests will always leave pleasant memories when they leave.

But this time is different, this time it is no longer a single flower, all the people who came here are because of a few people from Mincheng, and naturally the posture of blooming flowers will no longer exist. Those banquet gatherings before were also more complicated.

Just as the pamphlet about the relationship between people and the country caused a stir in circles like the capital city last year, the contents of the seven-day debate on the founding of the Mexican Party from Mincheng also caused a stir, even more so than Last year it was more intense.
