I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

But since ancient times, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside, and the sages of the village are the real masters of this ancient land.

The inescapable greed in human nature and the path dependence brought about by long-term excess profits have convinced a considerable number of squires to believe that as long as they make a superficial gesture, the government will retreat.

August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Village sages joined together, five senior Jinshi lords, 78 members of Juren lords, and more than 500 scholars gathered together. They brought their servants and nurses to the yamen of Jinling Mansion holding the tablet of Confucius, the most holy teacher. Mouth beat drums to express grievances.

Approved by the Ming Emperor Zhu Fugui's telegram, Jiang Biao, the garrison of Jinling, led his army to suppress without hesitation.

These Jinling garrison troops of the Royal Army, transferred from the First Division of the Railway Army, put on the flying fish uniforms of Jinyiwei, wearing explosion-proof helmets, holding explosion-proof shields, and eight-piece police suits on their waists. Among the people's protest ranks.

The retractable baton was mercilessly beaten on the face of the old scholar, and the rank of the most holy teacher was trampled to pieces by the riding boots.

A Jinshi master who had been an official to the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, wailed loudly: "It's a shame, it's a shame! The teacher was humiliated, and the world's scholars are ashamed... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

A soldier saw an old man with a bright head crying there, took out pepper water and sprayed him twice.

Needless to say, the effect is really good.

It's a pity that he is not a professional Jinyiwei after all, and has not systematically learned the use of explosion-proof sprays.

The young little soldier didn't pay attention to the direction of the wind and made himself hot enough.

In less than 2 minutes, the gentry's team was washed away.

Anyone who picked up stones and bricks and tried to attack Jin Yiwei, regardless of men, women or children, was arrested on the spot.

During the conflict, many people were seriously injured, broken legs, broken nose bones, and cracked the corners of their eyes by telescopic sticks, the list goes on and on.Only one person in the garrison was injured, that is, the little soldier who choked on his own chili water and went to the temporary hospital to wash his eyes.

The gentry fled in haste like bereaved dogs, leaving a mess behind.

So far, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been severely divided.

Some wise people recognize the form.

Especially some young students did not follow suit when their parents cursed Emperor Zhu.

They bought the complete works of "Saints and Emperors' Living Notes" from the Ming Concession in Shanghai and studied them carefully, and figured out what is the big change that has not been seen in 3000 years;

Understand why the revival of the Ming Dynasty is not the revival of one dynasty in the Han Guangwu style, but the integration of Zhuxia and the great revival of the whole nation for a thousand years.

This part of the progressive gentry is no longer a village sage in the traditional sense.

Their field of vision is not limited to one-third of an acre of land, but they open their eyes and look at the world.

Furthermore, a young man with a particularly detached mind, after reading His Majesty Zhu Fugui's works, also keenly realized that with the economic blowout development of Ming Dynasty, under the huge siphon effect, the original economic model in the form of landlords and tenants has also changed. Unable to maintain operation.

Bankrupt farmers who originally had only one way to sell themselves as long-term laborers or tenant farmers now have a way out that is [-] times better.

The reason why there are still people in their own fields is that the family tried every means to block Daming's naturalization policy and control the personal freedom of the tenant farmers.

But paper cannot contain fire, and one day, the sharecroppers who find out that they have been deceived will burst out with terrible power.

At that time, it will not be as simple as selling the land cheaply, it will kill people!

Whether it is out of longing for the new world or confusion about the future, in short, a considerable number of gentry children have changed their thinking after being given a blow in the face.

But at the same time, there are quite a few old landlords who have decayed from spirit to body.

They reject all change, any self-innovation.

In fact, Zhu Fugui did not necessarily have to take back the landlord's land with such a tough attitude.

Zhu Fugui is not short of money, and has just made a fortune recently.

Historically, after Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan slaughtered Nanjing, the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom disappeared.

Cixi sent Ma Xinyi as governor of Liangjiang to secretly investigate related incidents. As a result, he was assassinated two years after taking office, and the matter was left alone.

According to speculation, the treasures obtained by the Zeng brothers and the leaders of the Hunan Army from the Taiping Army should be as high as 1800 million taels.

Facts have proved that this is not groundless.

Taking half of Jiangnan's wealth into his pocket, Hong Xiuquan's younger brother finally left Zhu Fugui 1400 million taels of silver and countless gold, silver and jewels, which indeed totaled as much as 1800 million taels.

It is equivalent to 675 million British pounds today, and 67 billion yuan in later generations, which is twice the property of Double Zhu Feng Investment that Zhu Fugui entrusted Julie to manage, and 2/1 of Zhu Fugui's total personal assets.

Of course, the depreciation of silver is getting worse and worse. If you put such a large amount of silver in your hands, you will lose money. Zhu Fugui has to entrust Julie to find a way to exchange it into gold. It is not worth that much money after the loss.

On the contrary, those gold, silver and jewelry can be thrown into the system as a literary play and sold for a good price.

All in all, the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came to a sad end on the land of China, and Zhu Fugui was given a wedding dress in the end.

However, Zhu Fugui didn't take his younger brother for nothing.

Big Brother can't be so dishonest.

With assets of 67 billion, Zhu Fugui provided supplies for 30 South American immigrants at a high standard of 2500 yuan per person.

Zhu Fugui just earned some hard work with tears in his eyes.

With this little hard work, it is actually not too big of a problem to recover the parity of the land deeds in Jinling. After all, there are also a large number of original owners of the land who have died in troubled times and have become ownerless wasteland.

What's more, Zhu Fugui can even exchange aluminum for land deeds, and engage in such a show operation.

But in the end Zhu Fugui gave up.

Because that's not how it works.

The bald head took all the gold from the whole continent to buy the land on the small island, and all of them had to resort to cheating and cheating, which shows that the redemption is a bottomless pit.

If only aluminum held up until 1890 as it has historically.

However, because of technological spillovers, especially the abnormally large number of aluminum products in Ming Dynasty attracted the attention of European chemists.

Today, in several places such as the Royal Academy of Sciences and Siemens in Prussia, the technology of electrolytic aluminum has begun to break through.

Rather than earning a fortune from those sages in the Jinling prefecture, Zhu Fugui might as well just set up people directly.

Although the Ming Dynasty was an old state, its mission was to restore the new.

In the new dynasty, sailing on dry land.

Daming used an extremely tough stance to make the townspeople completely give up their illusions and split up the opposition.

In this way, when Master Da Ming arrives, those with high ideological awareness join in, and those with low ideological awareness take the initiative to run away, don't cause trouble, and don't be double-faced.

Be open and honest, be honest with each other, less calculating, more revealing.

This is good for each other.

Moreover, Zhu Fugui thoughtfully prepared a wise master for them to run away and defect to.

Li Hongzhang's mansion, which was secretly instructed by Zhu Fugui, will open its doors to accept heroes from all over the world.

This is not a bad thing for Li Hongzhang.

There are three or two nails in the broken ship.

These squires who voted with their families may not have anything else, but they must have silver.

For a while, under Li Hongzhang's rule, there will be deformed prosperity.

As for the consequences of offending the sages, Zhu Fugui fully anticipated.

Throughout the dynasties, whether it is the Han regime or the foreign regime, they can only choose to compromise with the local sages. There are two main reasons for this.

One is that the previous dynasties did not have sufficient mobilization capabilities to expand administrative power to the township level.

The second is that since ancient times, Xiangxian has mastered the pen and the power to coerce public opinion, and used it as a bargaining chip to restrain the imperial power.

No one would dare to offend this huge group unless they were prepared to be left with a bad name for thousands of years, condemned by thousands of people, and die without a disease.

But both of these points are possible for Daming to solve.

Zhu Fugui has not returned to his native land for a long time, and now he is also cautiously carrying out the pilot project of the special zone, in order to cultivate a sufficiently efficient and mobile administrative system on a piece of land without any constraints.

At that time, we will use thunderbolt methods to clarify the intricate nepotism in China, pack up all the dirty things and throw them into Li Hongzhang's urinal, so as to change the world and create a new China.

And as for the second point...

It can only be said, my lord, that times have changed.

Wanting to rely on writing a few sour articles, relying on Shihlin's handwritten biography to form influence, and to compete with the power of industrialized media such as printed newspapers, radio broadcasts, and black and white movies, is it not more ridiculous than stabbing a tank with a spear.

It was based on these two points that Zhu Fugui decided to give it a try.

Chapter 521 Defend modern life, take a blow

Back in Fengdu, Zhu Fugui felt that he was alive again.

It's not that he has lived in North America for a long time, and the air here feels sweeter...

Well, the air in Fengdu, which smells of soot and diesel, is indeed much better than the damn mule manure in Tianjin, plus the smell of rotten abalone.

And the most important thing is that whether it is Tianjin or Xi'an, there is no need for flush toilets in those places.

Zhu Fugui is not used to being served and respected like Xingzhen, and he is not used to all kinds of life.

After returning to the Fengdu Imperial Palace, whether it is the bright, stable voltage of the electric lights, or the faucet that produces water in a second, or the food in the refrigerator that is always full, or even a Fengdu baked cold noodle with rich seasoning, it will make people feel happy. Zhu Fugui felt used and comfortable.

This may be what some industrial parties called "defending our modern life" in later generations.

Of course, Zhu Fugui believes that if his life style is like Xingzhen's, and if there is a little girl who wipes the bathroom with her bare hands, he will live a good life.

However, Jie Weier is wrong.

The same is true of decaying feudal emperors and end-of-life persons. For ordinary people, once they get used to the life in Fengdu, and want to return to the old "idyllic" life, they will never go back.

Of course, not everything in industrial civilization is good.

Nowadays, the environmental pollution problem in Fengdu and other places is becoming more and more serious.

The area where Zhu Fugui's new imperial residence is located is far away from the northwestern industrial zone of Fengdu. No matter whether it is winter or summer, there will be no soot, and you can enjoy the fresh air of Tenglong Mountain.

However, limited by the geographical environment, every summer in the main city of Fengdu, there will be polluted smoke and dust from the Northwest Industrial Zone.

The good news is that the Hawaii high pressure will turn back when it moves to 50 degrees north latitude in the Pacific Ocean, and the northwest wind formed by it will soon become westerly, and the impact on the main urban area will be greatly reduced.

All these were considered when the industrial zone was selected for construction.

Taking into account both environmental impact and production efficiency, it is almost the optimal solution.

It is worthwhile in this era to exchange the inconvenience of Fengdu people not opening windows for half a month for the convenience of getting coal from factories.

In terms of water use, with more than five years of industrial development, today's Daming River has lived up to expectations and turned black and smelly, exuding colorful light of civilization.

However, the Fugui No. 1 dam reservoir in Tenglong Mountain, which serves as the water collection point of Fengdu Waterworks, has not been damaged at all.

The tributaries of Daming River polluted by industrial areas are mainly downstream of residential areas.

Untreated industrial wastewater basically enters Xinbo Bay unhindered and eventually becomes part of the Pacific Ocean current.

The Environmental Sanitation Department of the Daming Household Department has formulated relevant Daming laws, hoping to improve water quality and protect the mother river of Fengdu.

All in all, little effect.

At present, the main direction of their work is to attack the residents who can't change their old habits and secretly throw excrement into the Daming River.

If you catch it once, you will be fined 2 yuan Daming coins.

This is equivalent to about RMB 500 in later generations, which is enough for most ordinary people to feel distressed for a week.

But for the real large sewage discharge households, the several large factories in the Northwest Industrial Zone of Fengdu, this is not something that a small environmental sanitation department can rectify.

Many factories still bear the name of the royal family!

In recent years, many labor-intensive enterprises such as garment factories, luggage factories, and electroplating factories are transferring industries to Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Zhu Fugui thought, anyway, the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Bangladeshis did the same thing, and the people of Ming Dynasty did the same thing, so he tried every means to take over some of the old equipment of the factory through the "Dameng Group".

With a salary of 5 to 8 Ming Yuan per month, which is equivalent to 1250 to 2000 RMB, Zhu Fugui thought that relying on the advantage of cheap manpower in the Ming Dynasty, he could counterattack the future market and export bags, shoes and socks to earn "foreign exchange" for himself.

As a result, reality gave him a blow.

first……

There is no advantage of cheap manpower for Daming Temeow!

Zhu Fugui feels that the salary of 2000 RMB will have a great cost advantage compared with the salary of more than 5000 RMB for the southeast coastal assembly line in later generations.

But in fact, people in Bangladesh only need 800, and they work almost all year round, working like animals;

Vietnam is slightly higher, about 1200 to 2000, which is on par with Daming.

Zhu Fugui never imagined that a 21th-century end-producer could not be a [-]st-century capitalist.
