From Chief to Ball

In other words, as they did decades ago, these guys once again sold the bottom, and for a good price.

Before the incident, they knew that their strength was not enough to shake the entire city of Fujian and cause a huge impact, so they needed the help of those at the bottom, and even if something happened in the future, more people would share the responsibility.

However, after the uprising, when the radicals at the bottom were led to hope to continue to expand their achievements, change the land system and ownership system, and truly establish a small country with few people in a paradise, these people began to be afraid.In addition to being afraid that his own interests would be affected, he was also afraid of getting burned and being hanged under the gallows in the future, so he quickly drew a line with those radicals.

They think that they have already got the support of some more powerful forces, so they no longer need the original allies, as long as they can achieve their own interests.

While the re-election of the council was still in progress, this petition caused a serious conflict.

Near the teahouses where petty bourgeois and family workshops gather to talk about "state affairs," a man is giving a speech about a real "ideal society."

"Private ownership is the best system, which can stimulate people's hard work, creativity and maximize the wealth of society - we believe that labor creates wealth."

"However, the root cause of all these problems now is that we have not obtained full fruits of labor, because some people have stolen the fruits of our labor, destroying the fairness in it."

"What should the best society be like? It should be a society of equality and freedom under private ownership."

"We work honestly, and then possess the full fruits of the labor, and then use the labor as the value to measure the fair transaction, so as to obtain the full value."

"Under such conditions, it will be the pinnacle of freedom for the people of the country, and it will also be able to promote personal development to the greatest extent."

"Of course private ownership is good, and of course market exchange is also good, and in this way, everyone can get rich as long as they are hardworking and smart."

"How to achieve such a society? It's very simple. On the premise of ensuring private ownership, exchange everything fairly according to a currency of the value of labor. As long as you can own all the fruits of labor, you can get the same labor value fairly. goods, no one can go bankrupt, and the only criterion for measuring wealth in such a society is whether a person is hardworking or lazy. Because only labor can be exchanged, then hardworking people must be rich, while lazy people must be poor."

"Why do you say that? Because before the advent of big machines, there were also poor and rich people. For example, those at the bottom now, they were originally poor because they have always been lazy and lack of brains."

"But we are different. The reason why we are now on the verge of bankruptcy is because of the unfair competition of hydraulic machines and the violation of fair morality-it is like one person riding a horse and another barefoot to see who runs faster and loses. Excuse me."

"But there were no hydraulic workshops before, so why are some people still poor? Then what do you say it's not laziness? Some people may say that it's because they don't have any assets, which is ridiculous. Don't tell me my parents and grandparents have a lot of Assets? Why can our family accumulate some property, but they can’t? Doesn’t this mean that they are lazy, stupid, and lack of brains in their bones?”

"We are having a hard time now, not because we are lazy, nor because of private ownership, but because hydraulic machines violate fairness, morality, and human freedom, and are manipulated in the transaction process, causing us You cannot get a result that is fully equal to the value of your own labor."

"You think, if the transaction can be really fair, assuming that some kind of currency that can represent the value of labor is called labor, I dry cloth for ten labors, exchange cotton for four labors, grain for two labors, and other goods for four labors , how could it go bankrupt?"

"If every man was a small producer, and every man had a field to the tiller, and every man, by his labor on his own land and at home, received all that he needed..."

"In this way, the only thing that determines what kind of life I can live is whether I work hard. The more I work, the more I get."

"Of course we should sympathize with those bankrupt peasant households whose labor was stolen during the transaction, which is the same as our situation. But we should not sympathize with the bottom group of people who want public ownership, that Crowds are nothing but slobs."

"The best way to deal with these people is to send them to the military camp, where they will spend a few years with military sticks and learn what hard work is."

"If the army can't accommodate so many people, it's not that there is no solution. But look at the solution given by the people of the Mexican Party? What kind of bad idea is it to set up a county-owned factory and let these people stay in the city? "

"If they stay in the city, it will only make the labor of the hydraulic workshop cheaper, and it will continue to flow, which will only destroy fairness and liberty."

"If you want me to say, they should all be moved to the island's plantation, and each person will be given a little land. But don't ask us to collect taxes on the past expenses. It's only fair to let these people pay for the transportation costs. Anyway, love to go Wherever you go, just don’t stay in Mincheng, without free labor, those hydraulic workshops can’t be opened, only in this way can we be fair and free..."

However, at this point, when I should have received applause and applause, I received a sentence: "Fucking shit, this is the way out you found for us? You only found a way for yourself, not for us at all! "

Looking back, I don’t know where more than 40 people came from, dressed in rags, holding sticks and bricks in their hands. The people there were pumping hard.

Judging from his whipping posture and proficiency, he should be a professional gangster like Chenghu Sheshu who has received money from the big workshop owner.

But it was obvious that there were still a large number of real low-level unemployed people nearby, and the number of people involved in this fight quickly increased from dozens to hundreds.

By the time the picket team from the Mexican Party arrived, seventeen or eight people had already died, and more than 40 people were seriously injured.

Both sides have been instigated, and it has become difficult to control. Once the council is re-elected and cannot reach an agreement on some issues, a larger-scale fight is imminent.

Chapter 33 Dominance ([-])

The pickets took control of the situation and captured all participants.

The new council has not yet been elected, and the various factions are still busy talking nonsense. Every activist is suffering from "parliamentary disease", and they participate in the establishment of this purely nonsense council with a sick sense of mission—— Neither did they call out to change the old era, nor did they call out a change from south to north. There are even few people who care about what to do in the countryside outside Fujian City. Many people think of Fujian as a pure handicraft industry. The city never went beyond the outer slums.

Since the new council has not yet been elected and has not declared a break with the old era, the old legal system is still in effect.

A public trial was held in the square of the council. 12 people were sentenced to be exiled to Turtle Island to guard the lighthouse, and more than 70 people were sentenced to paste matchboxes and stir highly poisonous matchheads in the matchbox factory of the county prison for five years. .

This trial, which was not led by the Mexican Party, has sparked a more serious confrontation.The unemployed at the bottom were furious that the petty bourgeois party hadn't considered their demands, and after the public trial ended they began to question the promise.

At the beginning of the uprising, the unemployed at the bottom had no program of their own, and could only work with the petty bourgeois or the extreme radicals.The ideas of the extreme radicals are too dangerous, and the program is not clear and contradictory. In addition, the old majesty of the Republic is still there. With a little fantasy, those people who were conservative, reactionary and retreating from the small townspeople became the leaders.

For changes at the turn of the old and new eras, retro will always be the first choice, and it is easier to win more people's hearts.People are always afraid of the future. When facing this kind of silent social change, many people always miss the previous feelings and beauty, just like a child who discards toys, when the toys are really discarded, those ugly The place has been forgotten, and only those feelings and beauty are in memory.

However, when the dawn of the "victory" of the uprising first appeared, these people at the bottom suddenly discovered that they were not included in the "future" designed by the factions of the small townspeople.

Especially after the fuse of this bloody incident was deliberately magnified by the Mexican party and those big bourgeois who chose to open trial debates-although this is not the mainstream thinking of activists from the petty bourgeoisie faction, it is now like a pile of shit It's hard to say how to put it on the yellow underpants-this feeling of distrust and being cheated makes the bottom of the anger even hotter.

Half a month ago, some people stabbed the Mexican party in front of the council square, and with a song full of irony praising the hanging, the Mexican party was briefly labeled as a traitor and a capitulator.

Half a month later, the Mexican party did nothing, but created a short-term "peaceful" environment, and the essence of those people was clearly exposed.

Weak and full of fantasies, the future in his mind is only a small corner of Fujian, and he is always worried about crossing the red line of "rebellion". The only solution is to go back to the guild era...

Mincheng is not a city where large workshops dominate the mainstream. Even though it may be the most capitalistic city in the world at this time, it is still too young after all. It is still at the intersection of the era when the division of labor and the handicraft industry go hand in hand or even worse. .

Small citizens and those from the old era accounted for a large proportion. Before the uprising, their slogans were so loud that the Mexican party thought that the time was not ripe and did not take any action at all. The dominance in the early stage was inevitably lost. into the hands of those people.

At this time, it is not a victory, but a prelude to the storm disguised as a "victory", and the real suppressors have not yet been armed.Ordinarily, if they really have the ambition to change the world, what they should do at this time is to form Mincheng's National Self-Defense Force, or at least announce their announcement on Minjun's rural policy to gain the support of agricultural workers and maintain the neutrality of self-cultivating farmers...

However, the first thing they did was begging for mercy from the old big families in the north, hoping that there would be an old class that was impartial and did not want the emerging bourgeoisie to grow bigger to act as a buffer. Strive for a dream city of small producers under private ownership, fair, reasonable and moral, who fully receive labor income and fair trade.

At this time, if there is a leader with real ambitions for change, it will not be considered a victory, but a critical juncture.

However, at such a critical juncture, the spokespersons of the dying old guilds and small producers, crushed by new productive forces and production relations, have begun to fear.

They are afraid of a people who take up their grandiose calls and arm themselves in earnest, of the power that has fallen into their hands, and above all of the consequences they are forced to adopt for themselves, for their social status, and for their property. consequences.

They are afraid that things will become too big, and they will lose their insignificant and poor capital and life when they fail; they are afraid that after things become too big, the bottom unemployed who are the main fighting force will drive them out, and they will really appeal for ownership. Change; they are afraid that things will continue to escalate, and the bottom of the main fighting force will really shout the slogan of changing the land system, so that the real military families and the hidden land nobles will be irreconcilable.

As a result, these fanatical little citizens left over from the old days are surrounded by all kinds of contradictory dangers, and such a ridiculous situation has emerged: they don't know what to do, don't know what the top priority is to do, don't know how to implement neither It hurts ownership and commodity economy, and puts an end to the competition of those large workshops and division of labor factories.

All kinds of contradictory, reactionary and retrogressive programs became the "correct" choice after their "victory".

It’s just that they can go back to the guild era, because they belong to the old era; but in the new era, the freelance workers, bankrupt farmers, and original agricultural employees who were taken away by machines did not survive in the old era. Base.

After that bloody incident and public trial, the situation in Mincheng has become more and more chaotic. Although the picket team of the Mexican Party can still maintain the normal operation of the city, people have finally begun to consider how Mincheng should go in the future after the passion has passed. .

Just like during the Pregnancy Festival, there is always a woman who is pregnant after a heartbeat, at least she will not regret it that night.But when the lower belly bulges and has to face the reality, the real panic begins to fall, melting the passion like snowflakes like the warm wind in spring.

Although there are contradictions of one kind or another, even if the Mexican party does not agree with the uprising at this time, it does not agree with many political ideas, and even maintains the bottom line of the party by giving up the dominant position in the early stage.

But after all, this is Mincheng, the place where the Mexican Party first started its activities, and where large workshops, divisional factories, and various industries are most developed. The Mexican Party still has enough influence, and there is also a lot of money provided by traitors like Chen Jian. And arming, some things have to be expressed.

Although there are various contradictions among the various forces, the most important Mexican parties still give support.
