From Chief to Ball

Capitalism is a system, and the most important part of the capitalism system in Mincheng at this time is most of the upstream enterprises controlled by the Mexican Party, Nanyang Company and the banks of the coastal counties.

This is not a free-developing capitalist system, but a regulatory system disguised as free development that was driven by Chen Jian in a planned way.

Among the three necessary links in the most important system, apart from Chen Jian's private ownership of the Mexican Party, Ye Yuanshan has little benefit, and he has already pulled the rest into this system.

Nanyang Company has his shares, and Chen Jian and the directors of Nanyang Company at that time lent him the share capital on his own initiative, with an annual cash interest rate of 15.00%, but now the annual rate of return of these stocks makes the 15.00% interest ridiculous, so it is quite Yu free gifts and bribes are nothing but legal.

Stocks and dividend cash are stored in the banks of the coastal counties, and the information of customers is completely kept secret. Many northern families also store their money in it.

In addition to this part of the money, Nanyang Company spent a lot of money to hire his son as the planner of the slave trade department of Nanyang Company. certain people do.

Regardless of political future, purely from the perspective of personal interests, even if he has no power, he is still a very powerful group of people in Mincheng.

In the past ten years, he has changed from rent-seeking power to owning capital. Although the capital he owns comes from his former power, as long as the capitalist system does not fall, he has completed the transformation.

Mincheng was in chaos, and Yuanshan knew very well what the consequences would be if the most important chain in this system was broken.

Many people in the capital can't understand what Mincheng is like now. It is difficult to clearly understand the current situation when considering capital monsters according to the thinking of the old era.

Many families in the capital are still thinking about land, manors, power franchises, money from the household department, and corruption.

Let them understand what kind of impact it will have on Mincheng if the coal mines in Mincheng are bombed, the canals are blocked, the ports are blocked, the hydraulic power in the valley is cut off, and the upstream workshops supporting acid and alkali rinse agents are all shut down, it is tantamount to playing the piano with a cow.

And more complicated follow-up reactions, such as handicraft industry depression, loss of cotton fields caused by industrial shutdown, indigo burning, cactus carmine plantation bankruptcy, austerity when silver inflow was suddenly cut off, food prices soared, stocks plummeted, banknotes became waste paper, citizens The soaring cost of living, the disintegration of the employment system caused by bankruptcy, and the unemployment of tens of thousands of employees are not comprehensible to those who can count money by relying on franchises, tenancy systems, manor labor and old habits.

When the Hegu Spinning Mill was the most profitable, the Mo party only built a model. Even if the profit was amazing at that time, they did not build it themselves, but borrowed money to support some of the middle class in Fujian.

When spinning and weaving were the most profitable, Chen Jian did not invest a lot of money to do it himself. Instead, he supported batch after batch of people and cooperatives to complete the initial accumulation and disintegrated the contractors.

Before the development of overseas trade, the Mexican party began to organize the excavation of the canal that no one was optimistic about at the time, and thought it was just for charity to connect coal mining areas. When overseas trade started, coal consumption increased greatly, but there was no stagnation.

When the slums were worthless and the trade and business circle had not yet formed, the professional construction team in Nan'an had already started to build that kind of frame building, forming a new industry.

When social capital was heavily invested in the direction of Nanyang Company and plantations, the funds of the Mexican party were still supporting factories, handicrafts and hydraulic factories, constantly luring many people in Mincheng to complete the transformation, and economically disintegrating the old era.

When no one knew that overseas trade was about to start, the shipyard began to be customized and improved by Chen Jian, training a large number of craftsmen and expanding the scale of the shipyard.

The money in the hands of the Mo Party and Chen Jian is like a medicine primer, leading the capital to gather together where they want, and through this kind of gathering, the tenancy and guild system near Mincheng is disintegrated, which is even more cruel The employment system was gradually established.

It never develops freely, but is surreptitiously regulated by an invisible hand.

He Yuanshan came into contact with Chen Jian when he was in Nan'an, and he never forgot to study after that. He often read various pamphlets of the Mo Party, such as "What the Economic Foundation Determines".I see it, and even think it makes sense, but it doesn't mean I don't object.

He is very convinced that the statement that the economic base determines the superstructure is correct. It discusses many issues from the perspective of class analysis, without agitation, but with a scientific attitude like a human looking at ants.

Who is in the hands of Mincheng's economic system?

He Yuanshan didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

The development history of Mincheng is a history of planning hidden by the Mo Party. The prosperity of Mincheng is a model in which the Mo Party eats fat, invites the original land and primitive accumulated capital to eat lean meat, and lets small producers eat soup.

By the way, while eating meat, throw the infamy and contradictions into the hands of those big capitalists, and by eating soup, they can unite the petty bourgeoisie to oppose the old system such as franchise guilds.

The Mexican Party can implement a ten-hour working system in its own factories, and celebrate Labor Day every year, because their factories are hard for others to replace, and they rely on monopoly excess profits to achieve welfare—this is to let the citizens I have seen with my own eyes that the large factory system is not bad, it will create more wealth better than the guild handicraft industry, the bad thing is the distribution issue, you have to figure out who you are against.

Oil wells, acids and alkalis, rinsing agents, mirror-making monopoly, canal ownership, nautical interns, cotton spinning machinery, cement joint ventures...do others have pricing power?Who can compete with the capital of the Mexican Party and the planned high technology investment even at any cost when it comes to patents?

As for factories such as cotton yarn and weaving that compete freely, even if capitalists have a conscience and want to implement a ten-hour work system, if others do not implement it or make laws, they will go bankrupt and be swallowed up by their peers within half a year.

The employees will never hate the Mexican party. On the contrary, they are full of respect and support for the [-]-hour work system legislation proposed by the Mexican party. Moreover, the Mexican party has been implementing various improvement systems in its technology monopoly factories. The employees only want to They will hate those emerging capitalists who are brutally exploited in the era of free competition rather than monopoly capital.

The largest textile industry, coal industry, construction industry in Mincheng, as well as the soon-to-be-constructed steel industry, education industry, and a series of upstream canal transportation, machinery, rinsing, explosives and other industries are all in the hands of the Mexican party. The industrial chain is broken. The city will soon be finished.

A few years ago, they could only move food and coal, relying on crying tears and sympathy to win the council's miners' petition proposal.At that time, they still talked about morality, virtue, and human nature.

Now, they don't even bother to cry.

Their party property can monopolize the economic lifeline of Min County. This is the reason why they dare to challenge the economic foundation. They have the ability to destroy those soup eaters in Min City, so now they no longer cry or win. Instead of sympathy, talk about interest analysis directly.

Even Nanyang Company seems to be eating meat, but can Nanyang Company replace it?A company that started as a transshipment trade, the meat it eats comes from the industry in Mincheng.The handicraft industry in Mincheng seems to be drinking soup, but when they can't drink soup, Nanyang Company will eat shit.

This is where the sorrow of the distant mountains lies.

Oppose the nationalization of land, oppose the real equality of all people under the economic foundation, oppose the monopoly of state-owned rights from the people for their use; Slogan...the two are completely different.

The former can force the Mo party into a situation where it is hostile to the entire old era plus the emerging forces in Mincheng, while the latter can directly force the emerging forces in Mincheng to the Mo party.

He Yuanshan didn't know exactly what was discussed at the first special enlarged congress of the Mexican Party, but he knew that the slogan shouted by the Mexican Party was a temporary compromise with the rest of the forces in Fujian.

Now that such an accident has happened, Ye Yuanshan hates it so much that his teeth itch.

The Mexican party has no real estate, but has capital and a group of radical, fanatical and thoughtful young people who can leave at any time.Great Wilderness, Tianya Haijiao, Taiwan, where can I not go?

Is there a place in the world where there is no oppression?As long as there is, the Mo party and the group are like fish running into the water.

In a hurry, they ran away, and when the time came, they left a mess in Mincheng, who would clean it up?Who will take the blame?Who will bear the anger of the bottom and middle?The most radical in the future, but at this moment, the Mexican party in the middle is gone, leaving a group of utopian radicals and absolute egalitarian young people, who will fight the grassroots fire?So many landless and unemployed people in Mincheng who were pulled in by shelter factories lost their jobs and went back to the countryside to seek revenge and land. Who can stop them?

The Mexican party is not a party of good people, but it insists on accepting tens of thousands of people to dig canals and build roads in Mincheng to do things that should be done when it is not in power. Is it really out of the wishes of those kind people in the party?This is not tens of thousands of people digging canals and building roads there, but tens of thousands of bombs that can explode at any time, and the fuse of these bombs is the chaos in Mincheng and the collapse of the normal system.

How to deal with these potential bombs?It is not impossible to solve it, that is to force the landlord to return the land, deny the right to collect tenants, and throw these bombs back to the countryside.

But Yuanshan understands that the simplest solution is often the hardest.Who will execute it?Rely on the bureaucrats of the old landlord forces to implement?Who will take his own life?And do you have such organizational and execution capabilities?

The easiest solution in theory is always the hardest.

He Yuanshan read too many Mo party pamphlets in Mincheng, so he could think about this issue clearly, so he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Whether Fujian city is chaotic or not, whether life is good or not, has nothing to do with him ten years ago.But now, it's all about him.

Mincheng is right there, and no one else owns it, but the shares of Nanyang Company, the cash in the bank, the factory shares in the Hegu Textile Mill, the interest on the bank's loan... are his own and legal according to Mincheng's thinking.

Mincheng is a city in the eyes of others, and in his eyes it is a higher ladder that can be climbed, but now some people want to break this ladder.

Even if he resigns from office, as long as Mincheng's council system and capital system remain intact, he will become a public shareholder and banker of Nanyang Company in a sudden change. The center is from Mincheng.

But now, once Mincheng is over, his political future is also over. Even if he escapes at this time and says it is a rebellion and supports the army to suppress it, what is left for him?

If he abandoned Mincheng, he would lose the power granted by the Mincheng system; he did not react in time to the problems in Mincheng over the years, and lost the power from the upper class.

He also finally understood that when he came to Mincheng and accepted Nanyang Company and Chen Jian's proposal to let him buy shares with a loan, since then, the cancer of capital has begun to swallow and corrupt him.

He also understood, how could Chen Jian have been so kind to give him the shares of Nanyang Company?The main business of the Nanyang Company is trade, not land rent for dominion and robbery by force, but a transshipment trade starting from the developed handicraft industry and initial industry in Mincheng.If he had invested in a company that relied on power monopoly robbery and land rent as a means of profit, nothing in Mincheng would affect his interests.

Yes, the Mexican party is not yet capable of fighting the entire old world.

But before he died, he could disintegrate the new system of Mincheng, and drag all the emerging new classes in Mincheng who had nothing to do with land rent to be buried with him...

At this time, land rent is conservative and trade is radical; land rent has no upstream and downstream, and trade involves handicrafts; land rent and power are bound, the most conservative; capital and power are bound, the most shameless; land rent is dominant, and the city is in chaos. The capital system, once the city is in chaos, it is hard to know how many people will jump off buildings and rivers to swallow matches.
