From Chief to Ball

A bourgeois country can also have a monarch, and it can even have a monarch with real power instead of virtual power. The key lies in the core. It does not mean that the bourgeois revolution is the revolution of the monarchy.

What needs to be changed is the lining, not the leather.

It is new ideologies, rights concepts, habits and customs, moral concepts, power distribution, etc. These cannot be changed with a few machines, but require a vigorous and vigorous transformation.

Things like monopoly rights, coal, and iron have finally been allowed to be privately owned after a long struggle, allowing some emerging bourgeoisie to get involved, but only in some relatively new counties.

The emerging bourgeoisie is extremely opposed to this, and the burghers are also dissatisfied, which affects their daily lives.

The emerging bourgeoisie wants to get rid of these things, and ordinary small handicraft families hate the guild system. When these remnants of the old era make the two major revolutionary forces of the new era resent, it is easy to spark sparks because of some things— —The labor class is not the revolutionary leader of this era. They have no program and can only temporarily attach themselves to bourgeois democracy or liberalism and become their thugs.

And these things cannot be removed without a revolution or a civil war. The National Assembly is in the hands of monopoly families, big landowners, and big guilds, and it is impossible for them to voluntarily give up these things.

The reason why it has been stable before is just because life is still passable, and the contradiction has not yet reached the point where it cannot be handled.

This is exactly why Chen Jian is worried. The current situation in Mincheng can easily give these emerging bourgeoisie and petty citizens the illusion that they can make more demands.

Coupled with this situation, speculators and those who own the franchise still did not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, which aggravated this dissatisfaction.

Dissatisfaction accumulates a lot, and if it goes beyond the control range for a long time, accidents will happen.

What to do if you don’t agree to the request, then you can only revolt and revolt, which touches the basic interests of the core of the rule, and you will definitely be crushed to death. A small Min County is not enough to shake the entire country, and there is only one dead end.

But this is exactly what Chen Jian doesn't want to see the last time. He is only partly involved in the martyrdom, and he doesn't want to see that the spark of thought that has been accumulated so easily may be suppressed.

It is not yet the time when the emerging bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie in most coastal counties have enough power.

Under such circumstances, Chen Jian, on the one hand, suppressed a part of the radicals inside, and on the other hand appeased the emerging bourgeoisie and petty citizens of the alliance.

The tycoons in the cotton spinning industry broke up with Chen Jian. Their industry didn't use much coal, so Chen Jian simply didn't go to them.

The rest of the industrial and commercial tycoons in the coal-related industries have long been unable to hold back, and they don't want to think about passing the year.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, they have sent representatives to express their support for the Mexican Party and the petition for these hired workers.

I apologize for their previous opposition in the council.

The reason is that after listening to the propaganda of these people, I know how hard the life of the miners is, especially after seeing the photos of those emaciated people and dilapidated houses, I am even more impressed.

They call some mining areas a place where the laws of the Chinese people cannot shine, but they have actually expressed their indignation at the Wang family, the birthplace of the strike.

In fact, Chen Jian knew very well that these people had run out of coal, and the chaotic Fujian city had affected their normal operations—it was just that they hadn't thought that these poor ghosts would have such power after being organized together.

What they were angry with was not the Wang family, but the fact that the shit in the Wang family coal mine had affected their money making, and they had released the monster of the organized hired workers.

Furthermore, they are really worried that if the development continues like this, some domestic workers or those cottage industries who are oppressed by the guild will learn something, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

By the evening of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the mine owners who had betrayed the Coal Industry Alliance and some representatives of industry and commerce had indicated that they could discuss it, and even expressed their intention to resolve it early.

Mincheng’s council meeting was held at an unprecedented speed. In the absence of half of the mine owners, negotiations were unilaterally launched with members of the Mexican Party representing the employees.

After a night of bargaining, before the early morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, they finally fully accepted the thirteen demands put forward by the employees.

This also means that this is not an agreement reached between employees and mine owners, but a permission reached in the form of a council.

In this regard, the members of the Mexican Party and the Employers Association also made some concessions or promises after discussing with the employers.

Once the agreement is reached, the employees give up the opportunity to rest during the Chinese New Year, and make every effort to ensure the mining and transportation of coal in Mincheng, and promise that the first batch of coal will appear in Mincheng before the seventh day of the first month, and restore order in Mincheng before the tenth day of the first month.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, just after dawn, the news that the thirteen requests were accepted spread throughout Fujian by relying on the grassroots organizations of the Mo Party.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the hired workers took to the streets, cheered their victory, sang loudly, and the sound of firecrackers sounded everywhere. It was the small citizens who were sympathizers expressing their emotions, and more and more people joined in the celebration In the team, all the members of the picket team were extremely vigilant, not wanting to have an accident at the last moment.

When the bell on the street was rang by the bell ringer, the old sheriff looked at the excited figures outside through the large transparent glass and let out a long sigh.

"Min City, Min City."

An inexplicable long sigh may be the reflection of the old sheriff's heart.

He may have vaguely felt that Mincheng will become the source of revolution or change in the new era in the future, but he is already old, and he can't control it and doesn't want to control it anymore.

Chapter 156

The hired workers who participated in this rally spent the New Year on the road, eating and sleeping in the open, and did not even eat dumplings.

But this was the most unforgettable and happiest year they lived.

This is the first time they have formally set foot on the stage called politics. Although they only show a little bit like those disguised as red flowers and green leaves on the stage scene, they have declared that they are qualified to step on the stage.

After this incident, they understand the power of being organized together. Only by being united can they form a force that people face. With a legal employment association, they are no longer scattered.

After this incident, they feel that they are real people, people who live under the slightly extravagant sunshine for miners, and this sunshine is themselves.

They can proudly go back and say to most of the children who are destined to become miners that they straightened their backs and won fewer deaths for themselves and for future generations.You can also face those family members who were once confused and confused, and tell them what the fright and intimidation they have been receiving these days is for.

for what?They still can't tell what the future they want to fight for, but they know that they have won the present.

What does the future look like?How can we completely get rid of this kind of abject poverty and suffering?

They feel that people from the Employment Association will tell them.Members of the Mexican party will tell them.

……

The Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party in Mincheng, although the members of the Mexican Party were beaming, they had no time to celebrate this victory.

This is the first time they have really set foot on the political stage to show their strength, and they succeeded.

It is indeed cause for celebration.

After this incident, the influence of the Mexican party has expanded even more. In Fujian City, it can be regarded as everyone knows everyone. It even becomes a curse word in some guilds—once any workshop owner in the guild expresses its disapproval When employees show sympathy, they will be labeled as a black element internally.

After this incident, in just two days, the number of employees who wanted to join the Employers Association increased by six times compared to before, and some members of the Employers Association were eager to become official party members.

And these matters are debatable, and the personnel who join the employment association must be carefully reviewed, and if there is anything in the future, it will be prevented from being destroyed by the people who are mixed into it.

In addition, it takes a lot of manpower and time to safely hire workers to bring them back to the mining area, negotiate with the mine owners who did not go to Mincheng, and resume coal mining and transportation as soon as possible to restore Mincheng to how it was before.

So even though it's a good thing to celebrate, there's no time to celebrate.

The committee has made a decision that all internal members must write a report on this petition, summarizing the shortcomings and deficiencies of this action, and summarizing the successful experience of this time for later use.

The pens of the public opinion and propaganda department should also write something as soon as possible to praise this action and spread it to other places as soon as possible.

As a regret of the yellow paper window incident at the beginning, this time all the windows of the mining labor associations will be replaced with large pieces of glass, which will be donated by Chen Jian personally as a celebration of victory.

All these are glamorous and can make people happy and excited.

But in addition to this glamor and beauty, there are also dangers lurking.
