From Chief to Ball

The bottom layer is basically abandoned by the regime.The reason is very simple, the income cannot make ends meet, and the management cost is too high.Yuanshan watched coldly, watching the Mo party's continuous activities in Nan'an, and knew in his heart the current situation in Nan'an... Unless the National People's Congress announced the ban on the Mo party, whoever was the magistrate of Nan'an County must know who to side with.

After the canal was completed, Yuanshan presided over the completion ceremony in person, because someone had calculated for him before he went: once the canal was completed, all the coal used in Mincheng would come out of Nan’an, and if the transportation cost was halved, the remaining coal mines would not be able to survive. .With [-]% of the land dividends every year, and the profits of the land near the river can be sold, within two years it can be compared to a small agricultural-based county.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Standard Oil Workshop, Chen Jian had promised that the stock could be traded after three years. If he was in Nan'an, the trading place would be in Nan'an; if he had been promoted to Fujian County, the stock trading place would be in Fujian city.Moreover, this standard oil is only the beginning. If other industries and businesses can adopt this model to raise capital, with the convenience of transporting ore through the canal, Mincheng can be restored to glory within a few years, and it can even absorb a large number of unemployed people in neighboring counties.

After the appearance of the cotton gin, Ye Yuanshan was also worried that a large number of people would lose their jobs, but it was completely different from what he had imagined. He borrowed some means to relieve these unemployed people... In less than a year, under the profit of cotton, a large amount of food reform has become a reality. Cotton needs more labor, as long as the time is well grasped, these unemployed can be accommodated.

... All these problems did not appear in the old era. If it were replaced by him who knew nothing about it, it would be difficult to deal with it.

He Yuanshan feels that he is very lucky. He is very close to the tide of the times, so he can observe all these things more closely, learn from them and make continuous progress.

Those old roads have been lined up according to seniority, and they can't climb by themselves.

So, in this case, why not bet your ambition in this life on this new road?

He doesn't care about the political demands of the Mexican Party, but he knows that there are many solutions to the problems in these political demands.He doesn't care what's going on at the bottom, but he knows that the black elements can let him understand how to deal with such things in the future.

Know yourself and your enemy, and only after reading the pamphlets of the black elements can you know what they want to do.

Using each other, with the help of the actions of the black elements, can Nanan be stable and Mincheng incompetent.

It is different from those old people in Mincheng who push the blame. Even though those people in Mincheng are still young, they are already old-fashioned.

He Yuanshan believes that both himself and the "predecessor" in the north are trying to touch the new era - should we keep the republican tradition unchanged and adopt new ruling methods to ease conflicts?Or break off the republican tradition and move towards the enlightened autocracy of a perfect monarch?

These two roads are in front of you, the older generation has no way to compare with them, just look at where these newer people place their bets.

He Yuanshan put his bet on maintaining the republican tradition, so he had to rely on the Mexican party to replace the perfect monarch to ease future conflicts.

For this reason, he paid close attention to the movement of Mincheng, and also got the news he wanted to know from Chen Jian.

He only does two things, but those two things are impressive.

The first thing was to ask Chen Jian for a private loan of 24 silver coins in the name of the county, and bought the grain that Chen Jian had brought from the upper reaches. On December [-], he sent people to transport the grain to Mincheng.

The overall situation is the most important thing. In his letter to Mincheng, he said that the price of food in Mincheng should not be allowed to skyrocket. Although there is not much food, he took the risk to stop some merchants from "forced" to buy it. All for the sake of stability and the overall situation .

In fact, he knew that the price of grain in Mincheng was about to drop, and there were still many grain boats going down the Min River upstream.

But the food he sent to Mincheng was the first official cheap food.

The price of food plummeted afterwards, and it was also after he made a big publicity that the food was shipped. As for whether it was because his [-] silver coins of food played a big role... Many people in Mincheng think it has something to do with it.

The second thing is that some mine owners in Nan'an, who were already preparing to betray the coal industry alliance, were persuaded to rush to Mincheng on the day of the rally on December 24.

Still, the overall situation is the most important thing. To agree to the request of the hired workers, we must first maintain the stability of Mincheng and let the workshops in Mincheng operate again.

In fact, he knew that the bottom line of these employees was not to sign a treaty with the mine owner, but to petition the council to fundamentally solve the problem that the trade union was not allowed by the guild.

However, he "persuaded" the coal mine owners who put the overall situation first. They were the first batch of coal mine owners who took the initiative to go to Mincheng to quell the dispute, and they were also the first batch of mine owners who turned their backs and thought they could negotiate with the miners.

Just two things, nothing more to do.

Reasonable and legal, a matter of duty.

With a clear attitude, the overall situation is the most important.

Chapter 155

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is coming soon, but many people in Fujian City can't even feel the taste of the New Year.

The petition has been going on for four days. Except for some mine owners in Nan'an who apparently turned their backs and came to Mincheng, the rest of the mine owners are still on their way.

Although there is still order, the depression of all walks of life and the existence of speculators make Mincheng no longer as prosperous as it was before.

Dissatisfaction, resentment, anger, sympathy... Different emotions are intertwined. After feeling the strength of these people, most people are eager to solve them as soon as possible.

The officials of Mincheng have exhausted their methods, and now they are at their wits end. It seems that the only way is to accept the demands of these miners as soon as possible.

It's just that time still tends to drag on. The officials are anxious and upset, and Chen Jian's life is not easy.

Seven days, this is the longest time Chen Jian estimates that the situation can be controlled. If it is longer, the situation will be difficult to control.

Now it is the turn of the old and new eras, a country with a council may not necessarily be a capitalist country, and an emperor with full power may not necessarily be a feudal country.

Feudalism and capital do not lie in these forms, but in their essence.

With this massive petition, those previously suppressed contradictions erupted day by day, and some radicals in the party and liberals of the democratic bourgeoisie could no longer hold back and moved everywhere.

The things he was lecturing on the street every day became more and more dangerous, and Chen Jian was terrified when he heard it.

It’s not that they are not progressive, on the contrary they are very progressive, but the problem is that this kind of progress is not achieved through petitions, it will be completely destroyed by civil war.

Once the evolution reached that point, Chen Jian felt that the time was not yet ripe, and he really didn't want to die, let alone this group of idealists who knew they couldn't do it.

Originally, I just wanted to take this opportunity to make party politics active, instead of causing an uprising of handicraftsmen and the emerging bourgeoisie when the time was not ripe.

There are too many problems left over from the old era, including land issues and industrial and commercial issues.

The land issue does not involve urban events for the time being. If the industrial and commercial issues are not properly controlled, it is likely to cause a wave that is difficult to contain.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, the plutocrats and aristocrats have basically controlled various profitable industries. Coupled with the guild system, the emerging businessmen and grassroots citizens have accumulated too much dissatisfaction.

For example, shortly after the establishment of the Standard Oil Workshop, when kerosene lamps and kerosene were first displayed, someone found Chen Jian.

The person who found Chen Jian's surname was Ji, and he was an authentic fellow from the previous life.

The reason for looking for Chen Jian is that this family of the same family in the previous life has the monopoly rights of whaling and whale oil, and is extremely wary of the kerosene lamps of the Standard Oil Workshop.

Monopoly is not state-owned monopoly, not ownership by the whole people, but private ownership.

Those who own monopoly rights are generally those big families. The advantage of these monopoly rights is that they do not need to pay normal taxes, and they can obtain government support in the form of decrees or laws to monopolize an industry by paying a monopoly fee every year.

Plutocrats and nobles are also nobles, but the rights and wealth have been replaced by a non-blood-sacred inheritance method, and the essence is still the same.

Mincheng is a new city, and this kind of influence is slightly less, but in a city with a "long history" in the middle reaches of the river, the influence of this kind of big family is very serious.

Just like Chen Jian, a family of the same family in the previous life, monopolized the whaling industry in a county in the northeast in the name of law, exploited those whalers legally, and manipulated the whaling industry because they did not need to pay transaction tax. With large sums of money.

The monopoly is controlled by those oligarchy and plutocrats, the number of emerging classes in the council is too small, and the unreasonable number of constituencies amplifies this problem.

Everyone knows that monopoly makes money, but the problem is that if you are not in the industry, you will not have the opportunity to monopolize.

This is just whale oil. Many other things, such as fat field salt mines, candles, and maple syrup, completely violated Chen Jian's original intention in his previous life and turned these things into means for those big families to raise money.

Chen Jian supports the franchise of some industries, but this franchise must be owned by the whole people or nationalized. This is the fundamental problem. The same superficial content is completely different.

Just like the council, different cores have different meanings. Feudal countries can have councils and cabinets, but this is just a traditional form, not a bourgeois cabinet or council in the true sense.
