New Shun 1730

Chapter 1351 Are you ready?

These merchant ships are part of the truth.

And behind these merchant ships is the monopoly and exclusive control that Dashun started more than 20 years ago, just to talk about these truths today.

Because these new schools of thought of Dashun did not learn "how capitalism disappeared", but really learned "how capitalism came".

The protection system, exclusive monopoly, one-port trade, high land tax, forced purchase of heavy merchant ships, enclosure of land in northern Jiangsu to grow cotton and destroy small salt producers... Relying on the extremely violent national power unique to Dashun, social forces were organized to shorten the transition from feudal production methods to capitalist production methods.

Dashun's national centralization was not perfect but basically completed its mission - to be the midwife of the old society that gave birth to the new society.

Although, in fact, most of the Dashun people who participated in it, including the emperor, did not know what they were doing.

But history happened like this.

The purpose of Dashun's participation in the European war was never to destroy the "commercial" system of the Atlantic, but to try to maintain this system, just to replace the position of European producers.

Changes in the trade pattern will change many things.

The current mobilization of Dashun's merchant ships also tells a very simple truth.

This truth will not change just because Europeans and Americans read the Bible and Dashun people read the Analects.

Therefore, at the lengthy meeting in Philadelphia, Dashun's trade ambassador told a truth that both sides could understand.

Take the most inconspicuous Manchester cotton textile industry as an example. The African market was lost and the North American market was squeezed out by Dashun. So how do these people engaged in the textile industry survive?

Previously, relying on the navy and the navigation regulations, a group of handicraft practitioners whose production efficiency was far lower than that of India, not to mention Dashun, were the first to collapse in the face of fierce international competition.

Those who opened factories and became buyers could change their careers at most, and they would always have something in their hands.

What about these handicraftsmen?

The enclosure movement in Britain has been completed, providing guarantees for the development of capitalism and separating labor and land.

So what about these unemployed and landless people?

It is impossible to resist because you can't beat them.

Britain, with such a small island and such a small population, can pull out nearly 90,000 regular troops. Moreover, the terrain is narrow and there is no room for maneuvering. The uprising of the Diggers has long become a story of the past.

These people have no choice but to be sent to the North American colonies.

It is voluntary.

It is also what the British government wants to promote.

Britain's industry, especially the industry that collapsed after being mixed up by the Dashun, cannot accommodate so many people "separated from the land".

These "redundant" people want to leave on their own initiative.

And the British government is also eager for these people to leave.

If they don't leave, what are they doing in Britain?

Rebellion?

Wait for them to turn out pamphlets such as "Declaration of the Oppressed Poor in Britain" and "New Code of Justice" by the Diggers in the Cromwell era?

These people can only be allowed to leave.

These people must be allowed to leave.

And they have to go across the ocean.

This is the rest of the changes derived from the change in the Atlantic trade pattern.

Change means danger and opportunity.

For big landowners, big businessmen, factory owners, and plantation owners, is the change in the Atlantic trade pattern and the influx of a large number of European immigrants into North America a good thing?

Of course it is a good thing.

For example, the land occupied by the Byng family, if there is no one, these lands are wastelands.

Wasteland is worthless.

For plantation owners, the influx of a large number of European immigrants can directly reduce the cost of plantations - for example, black slaves are property, and expensive property; and the Irish are Christians, so they cannot be slaves, but they can be hired workers. Some dangerous and life-threatening jobs can be done by the new Irish, so as to protect their "property" from damage.

Big businessmen and factory owners are looking forward to the arrival of European immigrants.

And those who oppose the arrival of European immigrants are the lower class, which will make their survival more difficult. Historically, lobster soldiers stationed in North America, usually doing porters, have caused great dissatisfaction among the lower class, let alone these new immigrants who are about to arrive?

As Lao Ma said: once the so-called "relatively surplus labor population" is produced... Therefore, even prostitution and prostitution will flourish like the Caishikou Street in London.

Even this is the case with this business, let alone other things?

The Dashun trade ambassador and the North American people are talking about the same thing in essence. Although he may not say so, the essence is like this:

That is, Ilyich said: The state is the product and manifestation of irreconcilable class contradictions. When the class contradictions objectively reach the place, time and degree of irreconcilability, the state will be produced.

Then, with the closure of the border between Dashun and France on the Appalachian Mountains and the change of producers in the Atlantic triangle trade, more Protestants will pour into North America.

The main contradiction in North America is no longer the original sectarian conflict, but has turned into an irreconcilable class contradiction.

Are you, the North American people, ready to create this new semi-autonomous country to reconcile class contradictions?

Are you ready to become the ruling class of North America?

Are you ready to maintain the ruling class's tools of rule?

This is not to scare them, but the experience of the people of Dashun as "experienced people" and as the first country in the world to experience private land ownership and land trading.

There is nothing special about North America.

Under the productivity level of ox plowing, ridge cultivation, and a yield of 100 kilograms per mu, once the road to the westward development is cut off, what will happen and what kind of contradictions will arise? At this time, no one knows better than the people of Dashun.

If you want to adopt the tenant farming system and maintain stability, then go to Dashun and learn from the landlords to deeply understand what it means to emphasize agriculture, suppress commerce, suppress mergers, and protect small farmers.

If you want to move forward and go for commerce, industrialization, manufacturing, or plantation agriculture, then think carefully about what to do.

Is there any other way?

There is no other way, because the material basis of Jefferson's road is the land in the West, the Louisiana Purchase of 2.14 million square kilometers, and the confiscation of a large number of pro-British landlords' land as state-owned land in the anti-British war.

How to create a large number of self-employed farmers without even state-owned land? How could there be a rural community and acquaintance society?

If you want to follow Hamilton's path, you must understand that the basis of Hamilton's path is "human nature is evil", so to "fight evil with evil", you actually rely on law, tactics, and power.

Don't think that law, tactics, and power are backward things. Hamilton was able to seize the opportunity in the Newburgh Incident to try to incite soldiers to support Washington and suppress state legislators with bayonets, which proves that he has touched the surface of law, tactics, and power.

What does Hamilton want?

We need great unification, to remove state power, and to have a strong centralized authority.

We must firmly believe that the common people's brains are not very good, and they need to be educated and shepherded by the upper class.

We must establish a national unified market across state borders.

We must establish a strong violent agency to deal with tax resistance, tax evasion, veterans' uprisings, and peasant uprisings with a heavy punch. For example, when facing the Shays Rebellion, Hamilton's attitude was very clear: the peasants who dared to revolt were no longer ordinary peasants, and they could not be forgiven, but had to be dealt a heavy blow.

This does not mean that the sutras recited by Europeans and Americans are different from those recited by Chinese people.

The world is material.

The laws of the world are here. When Dashun and France were stuck in North America, the dream of "farmers have their own land, workers have their own small means of production, the village and community acquaintances elect the elders, and a family of five with a hundred acres of land" was impossible to achieve and was bound to be destroyed.

With the "help" of Dashun, the "Shays Rebellion" will soon break out.

And for this kind of uprising, even if it has not happened yet, Dashun can easily think of the demands of this uprising: equal distribution of land, division of land, and burning of land deeds. Oppose the merger of land acquisition by loan.

Just like the "Western" sounding [Haymark] and the rustic sounding [Caishikou], they are actually the same.

[Shays's Rebellion was caused by anger at the judge's judgment that he lost his land and other property due to his inability to fulfill his debt obligations and tax obligations] and [land annexation], it sounds like a high-end civilization and a low-end politics.

One is high-end, with debts, obligations, judges, judgments, and loss of property...

The other is a bit rustic, just land annexation, and the four words seem too political.

But, in fact, it is just a joke.

Because, [due to the inability to fulfill debt obligations and tax obligations, the judge ruled that he lost his land and other property] is [land annexation].

Otherwise, what is land annexation?

There is no land annexation in Europe, because the nobles' manors, serfs, and land were permanently leased, what's the point of land annexation?

When the Dashun group came to North America, they took a look at the private ownership of land and the sale of land, and they knew that land annexation would inevitably cause a big event and a peasant uprising.

Especially the east coast of North America is still short of silver, gold, and copper, and silver is necessary to participate in world trade. Ordinary people use paper money and copper coins, and collect silver for taxation and debt repayment.

This really doesn't even require thinking, you know what will happen.

At this time in the world, no one knows more about peasant uprisings, land annexation, private ownership and land transactions, and the contradictions between circulating currency and tax currency than Dashun.

Because the people of Dashun have also experienced or read the same story in history books.

Therefore, Dashun's trade ambassador and this group of North American "elites" had a very pleasant chat, even though he was a "pagan" in the eyes of the other side, even though he didn't understand what "freedom" in the English context was.

However, the things he said, these things based on history, these things based on land ownership and land sales deeds, combined with the goods transported by Dashun's merchant ships, greatly increased the credibility of his words.

In short, you North Americans want to be the ruling class and establish your own parliament, but you are far from ready.

Dashun, as the country that seems to be the most conservative but has actually been the most radical in the world since the pre-Qin period, needs to teach these people some advanced experience.

This has nothing to do with the working people in North America, because no one is a savior, they have to fight for it themselves.

Dashun just helps to speed up.

The Hemakto Street mentioned by Lao Ma is now called Haymarket, the place where the Royal Theatre of Haymarket is located, and the "Qinhuai River Street" in London in the 18th and 19th centuries. If translated literally, it is Chaishikou, which was originally a market for selling firewood. Caishikou was originally called Chaishikou, and it also sold firewood. Hemakto is Caishikou, and Caishikou is Hemakto. Similarly, [being sentenced by the judge to repay the land and other properties due to failure to fulfill debt obligations and tax obligations] is [land annexation]; [land annexation] is [being sentenced by the judge to repay the land and other properties due to failure to fulfill debt obligations and tax obligations].
