Zeng Guofan didn't want to deal with the stubble of "soil silk" and "foreign silk" at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, the "Hunan system" does have major interests in the two rivers, but the "affairs of the two rivers" and the "affairs of the Hunan system" cannot be completely equated; "The affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang" and the "affairs of Hunan are even more different".

Zhejiang, does not belong to the two rivers; Only half of the rivers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are within the reach of the "Hunan system" forces, and the other half is the "Xuan system".

Second, the water of the silk industry is too deep, there are too many doorways, there are no decades of immersion, where the threshold is, it is not clear, let alone entering the house, therefore, the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, almost all of them are done by locals, "Hunan system" from beginning to end, basically has not been involved in the silk industry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, "soil silk", "foreign silk", there is no "Hunan system" interests, Zeng Guofan is not guilty of taking chestnuts for others.

"The products of the silk reeling factory are naturally good," Guan Zhuofan said, "but when the machine roars, some people smell the sound of the sky, and some people hear it, it is inevitable that their hearts will be shocked." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, "At this level, Di Weng has probably heard of it." ”

Zeng Guofan's expression was calm and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Although I am in Beijing," Guan Zhuofan said, "I do not dare to close my eyes and ears to the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I know that between 'soil silk' and 'foreign silk', it is like fire and water, and 'foreign silk' refers to 'soil silk' to be self-contained and cut off from the trend; 'soil silk' refers to 'foreign silk', 'competing with the people for profit', 'forcing the people to hang upside down', and some even claim that 'there will be things that cannot bear to speak'"

After a pause, "What do you think?" ”

Zeng Guofan's heart jumped: What "competing with the people for profit", "forcing the people to hang upside down", and "there will be something unbearable", aren't they the words in the letters I received? How did Prince Xuan know?

After thinking about it, it is not surprising: the public opinion of the "Tusi faction" to the yamen and the attack on the "foreign silk" is naturally the same set of arguments.

"Whether it's 'soil silk' or 'foreign silk'," Zeng Guofan said slowly, "they are all 'people', not 'officials', and even so, there is nothing to talk about 'competing with the people' and 'forcing the people to hang upside down'." ”

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan said, "In Di Weng's words, no matter how much 'soil silk' and 'foreign silk' fight, as long as they abide by the law, no matter how hard they fight, it is just a normal business competition." ”

Hearing the words "obey the law and serve the law", Zeng Guofan's heart moved slightly, nodded, and said, "What the prince said is good. ”“

After a pause, "In addition, whether those who hold the theory of 'competing with the people for profit' and 'forcing the people to hang upside down' are 'resting on their laurels and cutting themselves off from the trend', I dare not say, but it is possible to repeat the mistakes I made back then." ”

"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan showed a slightly surprised look, "How did you say this?" ”

"The prince proposed to build a railway," Zeng Guofan said calmly, "To tell you the truth, at the beginning, I didn't think so. At that time, I was worried that the idea that the livelihood of these small people would be greatly affected by the opening of the railway, and that the idea that the princes of the 'soil silk' would 'compete with the people for profit' and 'force the people to hang upside down' was actually no different from the theory that the 'soil silk' princes 'competed with the people for profit' and 'forced the people to hang upside down'. ”

Guan Zhuofan didn't speak, and listened very intently.

"However," Zeng continued, "the railway has really opened, and the number of people and materials has been gathered, and the business of villages, hotels, hawkers, and packers along the line has not decreased, but has greatly increased!" Not only that, but also a lot of new inns and car dealerships! The Jintang Railway and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway are all in the territory of Zhili, and I am the governor of Zhili, and the situation along the railway is in my eyes, which is really unexpected! ”

After a pause, "Of course, between Tianjin and Tangzhou, between Beijing and Tianjin, the business of long-distance transportation has decreased, but in general, the gains are far greater than the losses!" ”

"Facts have proved that my initial worries were not only unfounded, but also 'resting on my laurels and cutting myself off from the trend'! I'm ashamed to have done foreign affairs! ”

"Di Weng is too humble!"

Zeng Guofan shook his head slightly, "It's really ashamed!" On the railway, I only saw the 'loss', not the 'gain', that is, the 'loss', and only a small half! ”

"Now that I look back and think about it, none of the princes who oppose the railway, including me, actually know what the railroad is all about. But imagine out of thin air, what are the disadvantages, what is not feasible, and scare yourself! Alas, I think my words are reasonable, but in fact, I don't think I'm ashamed of myself? ”

"The dispute between 'soil silk' and 'foreign silk' and the dispute over the railway in those years seems to have gone all the way, and some people only see 'loss', but can't see 'gain', let alone compare 'gain' and 'loss', which is more and which is less, isn't this just repeating my mistake?"

This "worry of repetition" is the "third" mentioned above.

In fact, compared with the railway, "foreign silk" has a "gain" layer, and the situation is similar; The "lost" layer is quite different from each other, and the worries of the "Tusi faction" are not all unfounded, but whatever.

"Di Weng is open-minded, but the sun and the moon can be seen!" Guan Zhuofan sighed and said, "The distinction between 'gain' and 'loss' is really to the point!" ”

After a pause, "The railway is built in our country, and most of the raw silk is to be 'sold in foreign villages', and it is to be used to earn foreign people's silver yuan!" Since the foreigners have created a silk reeling machine, they will no longer be satisfied with the silk reeled by the reeling car, to tell the truth, the "soil silk" is yellow and hairy, compared to the white and smooth "foreign silk", it is simply a fire girl for everyone's young lady, who is replaced, you have to give up the "soil silk" and "foreign silk"! ”

Speaking of this, he slightly accentuated his tone, "A new silk reeling factory, we don't build it, someone will build it!" Japan! When the Japanese build a silk reeling factory, foreigners will no longer come to buy our 'native silk'! At that time, all the jobs of the entire silk industry will be smashed, including the "soil silk" princes who oppose the "foreign silk" today, and there will be no food to eat! ”

"Originally, tea, porcelain, silk, is our sales of foreign villages, make foreign money 'three pieces', to this day, tea, porcelain, two pieces, have been abolished, foreigners planted tea, burned porcelain, are better than ours, no need to enter our things! This is all complacent, not enterprising, and from the outside of the trend! ”

"In the past, the export of 'Pinyangzhuang' was far greater than the import, and in the words of the foreigners, we were 'out of the super'; Take the foreigners' words, we are 'into the super'! In the past, it was us who made foreigners' money, but now, we have to ask foreigners to earn our money! ”

"In fact, there is nothing to 'enter the super', machines, ships, cannons, we can't build them ourselves for the time being, and it is natural to use foreigners first; However, tea and porcelain can't be sold, but it's really unwilling! ”

"It would be better if we could ban opium, but for a while, we can't ban it!"

"Right now, what we can get our hands on, there is only one silk left, if we still don't learn the lessons of tea and porcelain, this one, sooner or later, will have to be scrapped! In my opinion, the left is only a matter of ten or eight years! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Zhuofan felt a little dry mouth, picked up the tea bowl, and took a sip of tea.

Put down the tea bowl and continued, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Japanese are the same as our 'Tusi' princes, they don't want to forge ahead, and don't want to set up a new-style silk reeling factory, the foreigners themselves will figure out how to raise silkworms just like planting tea and burning porcelain, and the method of raising silkworms will be asked to figure it out one day!" That's really called 'Bottom of the Cauldron Draw'! When the time comes, no matter how much we regret it, it will be useless! ”

Some things, such as the rise and fall of tea and porcelain, the transposition of "out of the super" and "into the super", Zeng Guofan didn't think about it carefully, but when he heard Guan Zhuofan say it in one breath, he couldn't help but be moved, and nodded again and again, "The prince is wise!" Yin Jian is not far away, would you rather not be frightened? This one...... People have no immediate worries, but they must have distant worries. ”

"Therefore," Guan Zhuofan said, "to build a new-style silk reeling factory, some people, of course, can't help but have 'losses,' but, when you think about it, as Di Weng said, 'gains' are still far greater than 'losses'." ”

After a pause, he said resolutely, "Long pain is better than short pain!" ”

Zeng Guofan pondered for a while and said: "Pain is inevitable, but with the 'silk three', it probably won't hurt much', and there will be something unbearable', which is alarmist." ”
