From Chief to Ball

The interests belong to everyone, and the hatred belongs to oneself. Why?

Half of the mine owners chose to refuse to sign. This is the first time that the coal industry association has encountered such a situation. Even though the authority of the peer owners is still there, the rest of them are determined not to sign or agree with this. proposal.

In short, it is okay to veto Hu Lin's proposal, and they will take the lead in proposing to ban the activities of the Mexican Party, and they will never stand out.

In desperation, the proposal was not passed and could only be shelved, and the mine owners began to allocate the amount of lobbying and bribes that should be apportioned this time.

However, that night, Chen Jian received several copies of the results of the internal discussions of the Coal Industry Association, as well as the list of those who signed the proposal to ban the activities of the Mexican Party.

It's not that there are comrades in the coal industry guild, but that the canal is about to be repaired.

The coal industry guilds that used to balance the interests of all parties and based on the morality of the past guilds no longer need to exist. This canal makes the previous balance meaningless and makes several mine owners full of ambition.

Before Chen Jian, someone asked some close mine owners in Nan'an a simple question, who supports it?Who is against?

If it is supported, 50.00% of the canal toll fee will be refunded within one year.Those who object, the toll fee will be increased by [-]%.Love can't go.

In terms of ideology, they strongly support the newly popular saying of free competition. In overthrowing the guilds of the old era, the two sides are temporary allies that can cooperate.

They would also like to thank Chen Jian for finding a fulcrum for them: breaking the rules of the guild is not because of their low morality, but because free competition can better develop their potential and productivity and enrich the wealth of society.What they did was just, not unrighteous. It was the old rules and old morals that were wrong, not theirs.

More importantly, the original name of the Mexican Party was the Amendment and Improvement Club.

At least at this time, there is no statement such as private ownership and public ownership. It seems that they are just moderate reformers. At least it seems so now, so the mine owners feel that this can be cooperated.The improvement of the working environment will not touch the core interests.

Chapter 149 The Inevitable Omen of Splitting

In late November, all preparatory work has been basically completed.

The rulers of the old era and the actual controllers of those societies that have always won have no experience in dealing with this kind of organized and purposeful resistance, because they have been extremely slow to respond to this storm.

The employment associations of various mines secretly train the official members of the employment associations, and some people hidden in them report secretly, but they don't know exactly what to do.

Hu Lin's proposal will not be finally answered until the year-end discussion in early December. This time difference provides sufficient time for public opinion to prepare.

After more than a month of uninterrupted public opinion propaganda, people in Mincheng generally expressed sympathy for the fate of the miners, and also agreed with some of the ideas put forward in it, such as the simplest things such as people-oriented and equal human rights.

Being polite and polite, the black elements in Mincheng completely gained the upper hand in this public opinion war.

Chen Jian exhausted all his prestige and strength to suppress the internal radical factions, and did not mention any political reforms in public opinion propaganda, only simple economic reforms.

This was an extremely dangerous time. Among the 13 members of the committee, those who supported Chen Jian, including Chen Jian himself, only got seven votes.

Because of the smooth organization process of the miners, some people have greatly increased their confidence, thinking that they should make the movement bigger and fight for the interests of more people, not just the miners and the half-basic dock workers. Chen Jian, who got the news, ran back to Mincheng from Nan'an overnight.

When the turmoil was already brewing and was about to erupt, the members of the committee suspended all activities and held a secret meeting for three days. Chen Jian won by a narrow margin.

This victory made Chen Jian see the danger. Once this struggle wins the initial victory, the internal division of the Mexican party is inevitable, and it will be divided into at least three factions.

He has already prepared for a split within the party, and his reputation and financial support are excluded. Maybe his faction is the minority.

Unity is out of the question. This is the first time that the party has made troubles, but it may also be the last time that the Mexican party has united to make troubles.

This road is long and closely related to the development of handicrafts and large factories, and no one can jump out of the times.

Generally speaking, when the handicraft industry is developing, it is the same as the East and the West, including here, public ownership, everyone's labor, and equal distribution, but I didn't say how to do it. I only use various books to describe this impossible world. .Utopia, Sun City, Juzhuang, Clan Society, Dream City, and the previous Northern City Uprising all fall into this category.

As the handicraft industry continued to develop and small handicraft factories were established, new utopias began to emerge.Asceticism, saint mentality, absolute egalitarianism, and selfless dedication are the mainstream of the second step.This is based on the transition of the handicraft industry to the factory system, the extreme poverty in the countryside, etc. The economic basis determines that the beautiful world imagined by most people is like this. In fact, this is the second step.

After that came all kinds of improvements, fantasy, welfare, collective system, social security, cooperative system, etc., and various schools of thought began to appear, which was the mainstream 300 years after the first step.

The fourth step after that is the right way, and each of these four steps is a hundred years behind in normal history. Sometimes I think I can skip it directly, but in fact I can't skip a step.It's just because of the time difference and the difference in productivity around the world that a weird situation has arisen.

There are all kinds of people inside, splits are inevitable, and today's fellow travelers will inevitably face each other in the future.

The mistake of reformism is that it regards the partial and slight improvement of the bottom living conditions through improvement as the fundamental way through which employees can be emancipated.Improvements can improve the living conditions and rights of the working people to a certain extent, but this improvement is premised on not endangering the rule. Once the struggle of classes for their own interests exceeds the scope allowed by the bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie will inevitably suppress it.

But this kind of mistake is actually a kind of correctness at this time, a kind of historical correctness limited by the times, because it has no ability to fundamentally change all of this, and can only be an advocate of the bourgeoisie and moral reform with whitewash to gain their support Form some kind of alliance with them that doesn't involve fundamental interests.

Chen Jian insists on this point. If he becomes a member of the National People's Council when necessary, he doesn't mind casting a vote of suppression when the machine smashing movement occurs, depriving them of their only means of production or going to factories or colonies Seek to live.

Sooner or later, what happens to these people is nothing more than the difference between slow cooking for decades or quick frying within a few years.

He is ready to be poked in the back and even scolded by his friends today. The day he votes for the suppression will be the day when the Mexican Party will completely split. research is not far away.

The advantage of Mincheng is that the nearby garrison is not the elite army of wealthy homeowners, but the ordinary army mainly composed of citizens and refugees. Gain support.

Similarly, Mincheng's handicraft industry and commerce are well-developed. Except for handicraft workshops and large guilds, a large part of the handicraft industry is based on the contract system that is about to disintegrate.

Merchants provide silk, cotton, cotton yarn, etc. to small cottage industries, and they recycle the products made by small cottage industries.Small cottage industries were oppressed by guilds and contractors, and some taxes were secretly passed on to them.

This kind of contracting system has a great foundation in Mincheng, so internal differences also appear here.

With the improvement of the miners' organization and Chen Jian instilling confidence in them from the benefit analysis and bottom-line acceptance so that they can be successful this time, the radicals and adventurous factions put forward new demands.

They think it is possible to take advantage of the spring breeze of the miners fighting for their interests this time, disband the guilds, ask contractors for higher wages for the cottage industry, and even propose the establishment of the second council of the county, that is, the civilian council. Political rights.

It was this kind of thought that scared Chen Jian to give up dealing with cotton purchases in Nan'an, the completion of the canal, and secret negotiations with mine owners, and ran to Mincheng non-stop for a three-day meeting.

When Chen Jian heard the news, he was really frightened to death. Once it happened, it would definitely be ruthless suppression. Even if he didn't die, he would be arrested.Of course, with his current status and reputation, he might be eligible to enter the highest prison in the capital, and he might not be killed, but this is not what he wants.It is impossible to escape, he has his own bottom line, he signed his name on it, and if something happens, he will be martyred.

It’s not that what they asked was wrong, it’s that the conditions were not mature at all. The idea of ​​the Second Council’s Commonwealth Council is fine. In the future, industry, commerce and organizations will be more developed, and the coastal areas will be greatly developed. The inland areas will be reduced to raw material suppliers. Fight a civil war.

A bourgeois revolution that has not fought a civil war has no potential to become a powerful country, and will only become a half-dead corpse that is difficult to get rid of by the parasites of the old society.There is no exception at all times and in all over the world.

But relying on one county now is to die.

Even if Chen Jian's prestige is not bad, his voice is hoarse when he yells out the facts and reason, and after three days, the slight advantage of only one vote suppresses the thoughts of the remaining people.

People who oppose Chen Jian are respectable. They are not for themselves, but for human rights, freedom, fraternity, equality and a better life for more people.

They agree with Chen Jian's statement that once the requirements are expanded, they will inevitably fail.But they have a bit of the momentum of casting swords with blood to change the law, and feel that even if they fail, they will let the ruler know that this is unfair and needs to be changed, otherwise the grievances at the bottom will sooner or later cause trouble.

True, as they say, nothing can be done without bloodshed.From Cromwell to the Civil War, from the independence of the Netherlands to the French Revolution, change can only be achieved through bloodshed, otherwise it is absolutely impossible.

What these people are going to do now is actually just a bourgeois revolution, which is the same as what the mainstream world will do in the near future, but it is just a variant in a different environment.

Sooner or later, but not now.

After winning by a narrow margin, according to the original agreement of the establishment of the party, once an opinion is reached and a vote is made, it can only be resolutely implemented. Those opponents suppressed their opinions, but some dissatisfaction and doubts have already arisen in their hearts.

Including the few people who supported Chen Jian, it was inevitable that they had some opinions on Chen Jian in their hearts. This time, Chen Jian used up all the prestige accumulated before.

Because the possibility of winning the petition this time is high, and the higher the possibility, the faster Chen Jian's prestige will drop, even though he proposed the overall deployment this time.

Once they win, these people will think that if they are more radical according to what they say, they may be able to succeed. On the contrary, failure will make Chen Jian's prestige rise faster. However, Chen Jian really can't bear to use the deaths of these people to prove his correctness. Make the question weird.

If you win, your prestige will drop, and if you want to split, three or four points are possible.
