New Shun 1730

This is the direction of equal distribution of land, migration of people, and land for the tillers, and the process of industrialism dominated by technology.

As for the issue of orderly industrial development, this issue is similar to the issue of flood control in the Yellow River.

Such a large-scale migration requires materials, manpower, and organizational capabilities... involving shipbuilding, wood, coal, steel... affecting railways, transportation, canals, roads... etc. The orderly development of industry, like the control of the Yellow River, is efficient and necessary to be coordinated by a special government office.

In short, the path of orderly industrial development introduced by the prominent school of Dashun is different from the path of orderly industrial development introduced by Saint-Simon in France in history.

However, the conclusions are basically similar.

Moreover, it should be said that the thinking of Dashun is actually more along the line of Saint-Simon-Comte, that is, industrial capitalism is regarded as the inevitable eternity of the future.

And these things that seem to have subjective social thoughts, humanistic care, and equal distribution of land are different from the path of Saint-Simon's utopian society.

In short, the school of thought of the Dashun School is closer to Liu Yu's thinking on the issue of equal distribution of land, which is equivalent to the dispute between Liu Yu and Yan Li School. Both Liu Yu and Yan Li School support equal distribution of land, but the two sides have different opinions on why equal distribution of land is needed, and what to do after equal distribution of land is also very different.

Now the school of thought of the Dashun School of Thought has jumped out of the rut of "benevolent government" - although it is under the guise of benevolent government - and has also jumped out of the ideas of retro and compassion, but has come to the conclusion that equal distribution of land is necessary through rational reasoning.

It is not because "small farmers are too miserable, so equal distribution of land is necessary"; nor is it "the saints have wells, now if they can be wells, they can be wells, if they cannot be wells, they can be equalized"; nor is it the idea of ​​the small peasant empire in Wang Anshi's annexation poem that must ensure enough self-cultivating farmers or the small peasant empire will be destroyed.

It is because they believe that industry is the future, and now industry is hindered by the small market and the external expansion has reached the limit at this time, so it is necessary to create a large number of "consumers" outside the capital main production system.

Given that even if the inland land is evenly distributed, there are only three to five mu of land per capita, which is not enough for consumption, it is necessary to concentrate on completing the unprecedented Great Eastward Movement.

To complete this project, which is far more ambitious than repairing the Huaihe River and controlling the Yellow River, it is necessary to develop industry in an orderly manner and rely on the power of industry to complete this migration.

Since this kind of industrial power must be developed, and the production investment of capitalism is "disorderly", it is easy to draw the conclusion drawn by Saint Simon in history - a giant bank is needed, and this giant bank will invest in industry to solve the problem of lack of investment in industry due to insufficient profits; at the same time, it tends to some industries that are beneficial to the general public and the future, but no one is interested in and unwilling to invest in now.

Coincidentally, after Liu Yu ran away, Dashun completed the currency reform with the help of the gold and silver mountains in North America and the crazy absorption of gold and silver overseas, laying the foundation for the emergence of such a large bank.

And just after Li Li came to power through a coup, he "redeemed" the land through administrative means, which was actually a policy of "compulsory savings and compulsory purchase of industrial bonds". He accomplished several things on the construction of railways and iron factories, which seemed to prove that this set of things was feasible.

So, there are so many just; or so many are not accidental, but the conditions created by a series of reforms since the northern expedition to Luocha to capture people and build ships to conquer the northwest in preparation for going to Southeast Asia.

It gave birth to the prominent school of thought on the Dashun side.

Here, industry, large factories, or industrial capitalism, are abstracted into something similar to the Three Dynasties of Confucianism.

It is a kind of ideal.

It is the future.

It is also eternal.

And it must be achieved.

And the capitalist thinking extended from Liu Yu's bullshit theory of "the difference between love and use, people use food, not love food, so industry and commerce are just a means of food distribution" - since industry and commerce are just a means of food distribution, conversely, that is, agriculture that grows food and industry that produces cloth and ironware, are both for the purpose of commodity exchange.

Of course, this line of thought can also be understood in another direction: there is a market within Dashun. But the small peasants do not have enough land. They have to be exploited by the landlords with 50% to 60% rent. If they are hit by cheap industrial products, they will have no choice but to revolt.

And if the landlords are killed and the 50% to 60% rent exploitation is removed, won’t they be hit by cheap industrial products and not die?

Now the thinking of the bank and the port can also be understood in this way: if they are exploited by the landlords and the cheap industrial products of the developed areas, they will die. Therefore, they lock up the industrial products of the developed areas and continue to maintain the old system. Theoretically, according to past experience, this system can last for 250 years without any problems. Didn’t the previous dynasty last for more than 200 years?

The thinking of the Xian School is: indeed, if they are exploited by the landlords and the industrial products, they will die. Why do we have to block the industrial products? Instead of killing the landlords? What’s the point of 250 years? Now it has been 150 years since Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, so it is better to make a big change and bet on the future that Duke Xingguo said.

In fact, this is a simple question of speculation: industrialization is not a label, not an abstract five loaves and two fishes, as long as we do this, everyone will live well.

On the contrary, in this process, the special situation of Dashun is here. Small farmers only rely on that little land, not on their wives to spin and weave, and they can't even wear their pants. And this impact is extremely painful.

In North America, the Whiskey Act and Hamilton's industrial thinking forced some small farmers to revolt. But that kind of revolt was almost a joke - if they didn't make whiskey as a sideline, they wouldn't be unable to survive, but their lives would be a little worse than before. Because the poorest people also have 70 or 80 acres of land, and if they don't make whiskey, their lives will be a little tighter at most.

In Dashun, if the wives of small farmers were forced to not be able to sell their cloth, exchange it for salt, cotton, or taxes, it would not be comparable to the ridiculous uprising of the Whiskey Rebellion.

The "small farmers" in the Homestead Act can receive 160 acres of land, that is, 1,000 acres of land. In Dashun, whoever has 1,000 acres of land is not called a "small farmer", and he is not a small farmer anyway.

And 160 acres of land is 0.65 square kilometers.

Dashun now has nearly 400 million people. Even if there are 80 million families, according to the standard of 160 acres per family, Dashun needs 0.65 times 80 million, or 52 million square kilometers of arable land. A little calculation will show that this is not realistic at all. There is no 52 million square kilometers of arable land on the earth. Even if we don't talk about trying to find a sword by carving a boat, even if a wormhole is really opened, this thing cannot be replicated, because there are really no resources on the earth that are rich enough to allow per capita to reach this level.

In short, if someone has 160 acres per capita, someone must die to make room, and someone must have only three or five acres of land.

The significance of this in Dashun is not about fairness or not. This... At this time, the era of bayonets, those who first ran to Fuso thought that if they separated, everyone would be a big landlord, which is not impossible, as long as they can withstand the suppression of Dashun.

But the standard set by the people on the Dashun side is the standard of "100 acres of land, five people in a family", which is not unrealistic.

According to this standard, Shandong Province will have 100 million mu of land after completing the diversion of the Yellow River and the reclamation of Weishan Lake. Then the agricultural population in Shandong only needs to keep 1 million households, that is, 5 million people.

The problem now is that Shandong has a population of nearly 30 million. No matter how developed Dashun's industry and commerce are these days, they are not developed enough to accommodate 25 million non-agricultural population in Shandong Province.

And a province, even one that is almost the most convenient for migration - it is close to the sea and convenient for boats, and can go north to Kanto and east to Fuso - to migrate 25 million people, it must be done in an orderly and planned manner.

Liu Yu's set of capital migration routines is just a bottom line - in case Dashun explodes in the future, reforms fail, or it is completely ruined, chaos lasts for decades, and warlords fight each other, the previous bottom line can still ensure the Chinese population advantage in the Pacific Rim.

But it is only a bottom line, and it is still far from solving the problems of Dashun, or China.

This also made the school of Xianxue in Dashun move smoothly to the path of "ordered industrialism", and required Dashun to continue to strengthen the state machinery, increase the number of officials, and strengthen investment and development in industries, especially steel, steam engines, shipbuilding and other industries related to migration.

Of course, the most critical point is that Liu Yu ran away and died.

Therefore, the Xianxue expounded in the name of Liu Yu can be widely spread. And this set of things itself provided legitimacy and theoretical support for Li Xi's coup.

Now, after all these years, the Xianxue school has become a system.

Articles such as "Explanation of the Economy of the Duke of Xingguo", "On Industry", "On the Distribution of Industry and Commerce", and "On the Equal Distribution of Land and Benevolent Government" are spreading more and more.

As long as they are not living people, their reputation can be very prominent in Dashun.

And Xianxue must meet certain specific conditions to become Xianxue in Dashun.

Liu Yu did not advocate free trade.

However, this set of things, especially the set of things like French physiocracy, could not become Xianxue in Dashun.

Just as in the 1820s, France had a dispute between "free industrialism" and "ordered industrialism". In the end, ordered industrialism became the mainstream; free industrialism was hard to gain a foothold.

Same.

There are naturally schools of thought that advocate the immediate opening of the money gate, the opening of the sub-gate, the opening of capital controls, and the encouragement of mergers under the name of Liu Yu.

But they are not mainstream.

They do not exist.

But they are not mainstream.

After all, Liu Yu said so much that any school can find something to quote to prove that they are right.

But the key is that culture and tradition are here, the economic foundation is like this, and the reality is roughly like this. Even if some theories exist, they will never become mainstream.

And those that have become mainstream have become very popular in recent years since Liu Yu's death, and various pamphlets on future changes have been widely circulated in developed regions.

Now the emperor has welcomed back Liu Yu's body.

This attitude is inevitably a bit too obvious.

Some people cheered and thought that their dreams could come true.

Some people were like bereaved parents, secretly mocking Wang Mang's reform.

Some people were hesitant and waited and watched, thinking that it would be fine if they could fill the granaries.

Some people were ambitious and prepared different and contradictory articles in advance, waiting for the dice to be revealed.

However, although the undercurrent was surging, there were almost no people who openly opposed or even prepared to raise the local militia to oppose with the slogan of "protecting the world and protecting the holy learning".

Centralized power is still there.

The old model of making money-raising troops-suppression has now reached its peak.

Because the current Dashun court not only has money, but money can also buy enough cloth, ironware, and food at any time to arm an army at any time.

The power in the hands of the Real School, or in other words, their new world, is not just two provinces, but a world of two to three hundred million people including Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, India, West Africa and the European market.

Although Indians are not Dashun people, they still pay taxes, grow cotton, buy goods, and "contribute" to this system.

Although it is said that the tenant farmers in Dashun are Dashun people, they cannot follow the gentry. The most they can do is pay some rent and "contribute" their own strength.

There are millions of people here.

There are hundreds of thousands of practical disciples and officers there.

There is land rent income here.

There are the profits of the big factories, the colonies, the big plantations and the big farms.

There are clans here.

There are big companies with efficient industrial feudalism.

Here there is the goal of protecting the world and protecting the holy way, but in fact it is to safeguard their tenancy system and the rule of the gentry.

There is the great righteousness of the emperor and the court.

Indeed, the local officials in Dashun are called Jiedushi.

But this Jiedushi is just using his name, not that kind of Jiedushi.

It seems that if the emperor is determined to reform, as long as there is no "Battle of Kunyang", the reform may be successful.

It seems like this.

At least, that's what the Xianxue school thinks.

However, looking at this posture, it does seem like he is preparing to do this.

Besides, they also felt that what they said seemed right and reasonable, so how could the emperor not do this?

However.

Many divas.

After a grand and high-standard funeral, the calm world before the storm finally waited for the emperor's edict.

Tell the world.

Those who are looking forward to, or anxious, or excited, or uneasy...

Facing this edict announcing to the world, they all had a similar feeling:

Great effort.

Fart.
