There can be no doubt that the roads and canals financed by the capitalists will only appear where they are profitable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, compared with the feudal era, roads were only built on important military land, and conscription was required, and when conscription was levied, large households fled and small peasants could hardly take care of their land, so they went bankrupt.

It is not the advanced nature of the capitalists, but the social formation.

This kind of progress requires money, and even more so, a lot of hired workers who do not depend on the land or have nothing.

Without them, a pure self-sufficient agricultural society, a large number of laborers to build roads can only rely on the peasants at the bottom, which is a waste of labor and money. While it is good for society in the long run, it is sure to cause social unrest.

Only when we have a large number of free laborers who are not tied to the land, building roads and digging rivers is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and breaking the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, whoever builds roads and digs rivers is advanced.

Under the small-scale peasant economy, even if the road and river are repaired, even if the master of the blue sky is the master, the most he will give is more money for the envoys. But for small farmers, the delay in their land is not worth it at all. There is no solution to losing the land and having no way to make a living, so great things such as building roads and rivers often turn into civil revolts and even changing the sky. Even though it has been left for eternity, it is known for its tyranny.

Yu Yuanshan's opposition at the beginning was only because he thought that Chen Jian wanted him to be conscripted, but as soon as he heard that Chen Jian wanted to pay for his own money, he had no worries.

He felt that he didn't need to come forward himself, and it was a transaction to do things for money. Those who are willing to work will only go if it is profitable to do so, and it is all voluntary.

Whether you dare to be the first in the world depends on whether it is possible to do this.

If it is done, it will be praised by everyone; If you can't do it, that's what Qianfu is referring to.

Although Jian Chen said so much, Yuan Shan was not moved by these words, but asked, "Mr. Chen's money must be not lacking." Even so, the people who want to come have already thought about it? The only thing you need to know is that there is a rule in the apprenticeship law that the maximum wage cannot be exceeded so as not to cause chaos in the scene, or that some farmworkers only go to build roads and delay the farming. Although there are many workshops today, after all, agriculture is still the majority. ”

"This is my province's. It's got its own measure. ”

"Mr. Chen does things and speaks, and I can trust them. But ......"

When it came to this, Jian Chen didn't hide his secrets, and said something about the location and benefits of his connection by building rivers and roads.

He took out detailed figures, gave how many times he had visited, and came up with transportation costs and ore consumption, and did not say anything that would be profitable for him, but only said that if it was repaired, what variables would be available to Nan'an.

"Brother Yuanshan, once the canal is repaired, the coal, iron, lime, stone, etc. needed by Mincheng can all come out of Nan'an."

"Some workshops will also be built in Nan'an because of the convenience of raw materials. In Mincheng, after the price of these raw materials was reduced, some merchants also chose to expand their workshops. Fujian is prosperous, Nan'an is naturally prosperous, and the shops and wine shops along the river alone can increase a lot. ”

"In this way, the commercial tax and business tax in the past can be collected a lot. Households have a little spare money, which will also be invested in transportation and shops, so that money can generate money and people's livelihood will not wither. ”

"The wealth of the world is not gold and silver, but the things produced and the quantity of circulation, such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation. The more circulation, the more wealth. ”

Therefore, there are only benefits and no disadvantages in building this canal. I will not hinder the farming, and I will give some poor people a livelihood, so what is there to worry about? ”

Yu Yuanshan looked at the numbers, listened to Chen Jian's statement, and understood in his heart that once this canal and wooden rail road were repaired, the importance of Nan'an would be even higher, and the wealth would be far greater than it is now.

At that time, the fuel, ore, etc., needed by Mincheng can be carried down the river from this canal, which is much cheaper than the coal transported from other places.

Merchants pursue profits, and it is obvious that Nan'an will become the most important county in Mincheng at that time, and it is an indispensable county.

However, he is not a businessman, but an official, so it is impossible for him to think about the same plane as Jian Chen.

"Mr. Chen, I believe what you say. Merely...... Once your river is finished, thousands of hired workers gather together, and the river is finished again, what will you do? I'm just afraid that some of the lawless people will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. This river is repaired in Nan'an, and after it is repaired, those displaced people will also pour into Nan'an, and it will be unstable. ”

Jian Chen said with a smile: "The sun, moon and stars, everything in the world is always changing. Once the canal is repaired, the Nan'an Mountain mine will transport more and more raw materials to Mincheng, and it will be profitable, will the mine owner be willing to watch others ask for ten catties and only dig out three catties? ”

Speaking of this, Jian Chen mustered up the courage to say a heart-wrenching word.

"Brother Yuanshan, the Nan'an mining area is rich, and the mining areas in the rest of the counties will inevitably wither. One increase and one decrease are all the merits of Nan'an County. Prosperous in the withering adjacent, the party is prosperous. ”

There were no other people around, and Yuan Shan did not refute, and he smiled.

After sitting there and thinking for a long time, he finally said: "This is a good thing that is beneficial to the people's livelihood, and I naturally have to take this risk, after all, the official side must benefit the party." ”

Chen Jian praised again and again, took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over: "These are some management methods for private excavation of canals and construction of roads. In any case, the land is also state-owned, and 20% of the income still needs to be paid. There are also some detailed rules for operation and management, control and scheduling, wartime requisition, and the passage of state-owned minerals......"

Yu Yuanshan took it, took a closer look, nodded and praised: "Mr. Chen does things, and he really doesn't leak." These things can be used as a reference even if the National People's Assembly really discusses and agrees on the canal law or the private road construction law in the future. These two percent of the income...... Still have to collect it...... It is not only the cost of land, but also the county has to participate in the management and recruitment of personnel......"

He was still very satisfied with the income of 20%, and Chen Jian did not do too much bargaining, the most important thing is that the income of 20% was not collected from the state treasury, which belonged to the money at the disposal of the local government, because there was no provision for building roads and rivers in the national law.

The article is also comprehensive, and even details such as wartime requisition and national need allocation are not missed.

He also understands that the income of these two percent is Chen Jian's bottom line. No matter how much you have, you're afraid you won't make anything.

This is equivalent to the county's free gain, because the above clearly stated that the county does not need to transfer people, and all problems are borne by the canal builder.

In this way, the efficiency can be much faster, and you can completely modify this article slightly and issue it as a decree.

In the future, these provisions will certainly have to be changed, and if they do cause a reversal in the National Assembly, the two-percent profit will be a big problem -- the industrial and commercial capitalists and the big landowners and chaebol aristocrats who pay for it will not accept it, and even if they do, they will demand that the state be held accountable for the two-percent income.

Yu Yuanshan accepted the article, was in a good mood, and had a few glasses of wine with Jian Chen.

"Mr. Chen, this Nan'an County is now prosperous, and it can be said that it depends on Mr. Chen's strength. This glass of wine is counted as my order of a county to honor you for some people in the county. ”

After the polite words, Jian Chen smiled and said: "These workshops of mine are to absorb the silver money of the whole country and go to Nan'an to spend it." If you go to Mincheng, then Mincheng will be more prosperous than before. ”

The seemingly unintentional words made Yuanshan's heart move, and he said with a smile: "This Fujian City is a county city, a small county in Nan'an, and it can't be compared after all." ”

"That's nature. If one day Brother Yuanshan ascends to Min County, I will move the workshop to Min County, with my back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, and the people who enjoy the shade will also weed and fertilize, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

Jian Chen's words are a little red, which clearly implies that he wants to be the head of the underground organization of Nan'an, and if he comes to Mincheng in the future, he will even be the underground organization department of Mincheng.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is also a right path, and now the system of the parliament of the chaebol aristocracy is not the whole family, but the chaebol aristocracy, which determines that this collusion is reasonable and legal.

Yu Yuanshan was not angry about this, Chen Jian had done so many things in Nan'an, and he had never done anything overtly wrong, nor did he use everyone to evade some responsibilities and obligations for him. Even taxes are always paid on time, and in addition to subsidizing people's livelihood, even things such as buying land are all done in the normal way.

The feudal emperors were afraid that capital would reach into power, and this was an important factor in the bourgeois revolution. With money, you naturally want to have power, not only want to have power, but also want the right to pay less without paying taxes.

For this reason, Yuan Shan laughed, shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen's vision is good. It's just that Nan'an County, even if it is assessed as the top in the past two years, how can it be so easy to rise to Min County? However, if we wait until the canal is repaired, it may change in five or six years. ”

Jian Chen smiled: "Five or six years is too long. Don't talk about this, Brother Yuanshan, I heard a joke the other day. ”

"How?"

"You say that a child and an adult are taller than whom, but there is no mound of stools nearby for the child to grow taller, but what can be done to make the child taller than the adult?"

"Wait for ten years, and when you grow up, you will naturally be tall."

Jian Chen laughed and said, "There is another way, cut off the adult's leg, isn't that high?" ”

This is a joke, Yu Yuanshan laughed a few times, glanced at Jian Chen, and followed the joke: "Then I'm afraid this kid can't be compared, cutting people is illegal, and he dies of blood loss and cuts off his head with his life, isn't it shorter?" ”

"But what if the adults cut it themselves?"

"That's another story, of course. This adult is too, he has good legs, how can he cut his own legs when he is idle? ”

"Maybe this kid knows how to divination, and he knows that this adult is going to cut off his own legs, so he hurriedly ran to compare his legs."

"Mr. Chen is famous in the palace, proficient in the six arts, erudite and talented, I don't know if I understand the art of divination?"

"I understand a little, and I've been studying medicine for a few days."

After saying this joke, the two of them raised their glasses and laughed, just thinking that this joke was not funny at all was very interesting.

All the child has to do is do nothing, wait until the adult himself has cut off his leg and stand tall and compare.

Since someone has studied medicine, it is not a big deal if the leg is broken, and it is necessary to connect it again.

At the end of the banquet, Yuan Shan feigned drunkenness, and brought up the previous joke, but asked another irrelevant and extremely absurd thing, and asked Jian Chen to make a fortune at will.

Jian Chen also pretended to be drunk, and used the techniques of the group of priests in his previous life to pretend to be a god and make a fortune, and wrote a word two on the desk with water and wine.

After seeing it, Yuan Shan smiled and said, "What is it?" ”

"If you do nothing, you do nothing."
