Soon after the Nan'an mining incident, the small handicraftsmen in the cotton spinning industry in Mincheng also ushered in a storm called the cooperative movement of the utopian faction within the Mexican Party. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the turmoil did not take the form of a rally movement, but began with a bloodless normal economic activity.

Chen Jian used Standard Oil's monopoly on the shares of the workshop to raise enough cash, and together with the activities of the Mo Party at the grassroots level, he completely controlled the lint in Minjun.

This made a large number of speculators and cotton price manipulators hate it, but Chen Jian was not afraid. It is precisely because there are more debts that he does not worry, there are more lice that do not itch, and those who hate him to the bone are not bad for this group of people.

Originally, people in the cotton spinning industry thought that Chen Jian was just taking this opportunity to make money that should have belonged to them, but they didn't expect Chen Jian to dig up the roots.

Just after the New Year, the grassroots organizations of the Mexican Party, which had taken root in Mincheng for more than two years, had already grasped the family situation of most of the small handicraftsmen and proletarian workers.

With the impact of this miners' petition and the previous social survey campaign in the guise of charity, it can be said that the Mexican Party has no worse grasp of the workers in the cotton textile industry in Mincheng than the contractors and guilds.

The work done by contractors is nothing more than relying on their ability to get cotton, find sales channels, and have capital.

Control these three things, lend some cotton to cottage industry workers, or provide a small amount of money. These cottage industries spin and weave the cloth, which is then purchased by contractors, and make a profit by deducting the cotton that was borrowed or provided at the beginning.

Theoretically, a single handicraft worker has a way to climb upward: first rent a spinning wheel from a contractor, borrow cotton or capital, accumulate it for about twenty years, and should be able to own three or two spinning wheels, and also have a certain amount of capital, so as to become a petty bourgeoisie.

In 20 years, there is still hope, but this is only theoretical, and it is very difficult to implement it, and it is only possible to avoid illness, family changes, and children in these 20 years.

However, even if you become a petty bourgeoisie, with three or five spinning wheels and looms, etc., you will be exploited by the guilds. Once the machine appears, they are in the most dangerous situation, and they will be reduced to the fate of having nothing but to work.

Originally, Jian Chen felt that it would be cruel to give these people hope and break it again, but there was no way to rely on their strength to dismantle the guild and contractors.

So just after the New Year, the grassroots organizations of the Mexican Party under the pretext of charity began to haunt the homes of small handicraftsmen with spinning wheels from neighborhood to block.

New Year's is the time when contractors start preparing for this year's business, recovering loans, and re-borrowing. But this year, these contractors did not get cotton, and all the cotton was caught by Chen Jian, cutting off the way of these contractors from the root.

These contractors were indescribably annoyed in their hearts, when Chen Jian bought cotton at the beginning, they didn't think it had much to do with them, after all, they were all in the lint buying business at that time.

At that time, the contractor felt that Chen Jian had to sell the cotton he received, and it had to pass through their hands, and they would still make money when the time came.

It has always been that way.

But this time it was different, Jian Chen completely got rid of them and stopped playing with them. Instead, with the help of the Mexican Party's grassroots organizations in the name of charity, it completely bypassed the contractor.

And it goes around so thoroughly that it starts digging directly from the roots. In addition to formal political parties, many organizations are carried out at the grassroots level in the name of charity, and the Mexican Party also used this name in the beginning, and people unknowingly have enough information at the grassroots level.

As soon as such a thing happened, public resentment boiled for a while, and the council was in turmoil again, hoping that the official would come forward to demand that Chen Jian abide by the tradition that has always been there.

However, it was useless, Chen Jian and the Moxican Party did not bird this group at all, and this cooperative movement regained the support of many petty-bourgeois utopians in the party for Chen Jian, and there was no longer the utopian resentment after the miners' petition.

The officials of Minxian County, who had just been tortured by Chen Jian, really didn't want to wade into this troubled water, and now they were too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't want to and didn't dare to provoke the Mexican Party with unlimited prestige just now -- they had suffered a loss, and this group of people now understood that if they dared to come forward and force Chen Jian to sell cotton to contractors, the handicraftsmen in Mincheng over there would have to rise up and make some moves, and Mincheng really couldn't afford such a toss.

At the end of the first month, a large number of baled lint was continuously transported from the warehouse in Nan'an, and many people who originally dug the river engaged in packing work in Nan'an.

The people of the Cotton Spinning Guild were completely anxious this time, and now that Jian Chen had money and raw materials, he dug up their roots from the source. I thought that Chen Jian just wanted to eat the profits of lint, but he didn't want Chen Jian to just get rid of them and go it alone.

In a panic, they found the gangsters in Mincheng, but when this group of people heard that it was against the Mexican Party, they refused one after another, because they couldn't beat the pickets of the Mexican Party in a fight, and no one wanted to touch this mold.

The leaders of the various gangs also put down their words, don't clash with the Mexican party, don't, even if it's stealing and robbing, don't go to the places where the Mexican party often operates, provoke them and cut off their fingers to apologize.

With the help of newspapers and public opinion propaganda tools at the disposal of the Mexican Party, soon a slogan called the Spinning Cooperatives Movement spread throughout Fujian.

First of all, he exposed the oppression of contractors and guilds with facts, calculated an account for these small craftsmen with mathematics, and used a simple formula of addition and subtraction, which suddenly made the persuasiveness of this statement several times greater.

Then the slogan of bypassing the contractors and guilds and organizing laborers' cooperatives was shouted to prevent those bloodsuckers from making the difference, which provoked an enthusiastic response.

This is a typical ideal society dreamed of by the petty bourgeoisie in the era of small handicrafts, Chen Jian keenly grasped the advantages of the large number of handicraftsmen, analyzed the psychology of this group of people, and with the help of tabloids and grassroots charitable organizations, in just three days, the handicraftsmen in Mincheng who were engaged in spinning knew the news.

Cottage industries with spinning wheels were organized together and family cooperatives were formed in groups of four or five to receive cotton in a unified manner. Dozens of cooperatives within a block form a large cooperative, which collects cotton yarn in a unified manner and sells it in a centralized manner, completely cutting off the opportunity for contractors to manipulate prices.

But when the cooperative was founded, Chen Jian put forward a request: when four or five companies elected a trusted person to be the president of the cooperative, they needed to write a statement, and the president, as the legal person of the cooperative, nominally owned all the spinning wheels and the money that everyone had pooled to buy cotton.

This statement was guaranteed by the Mexican Party, which proved that it was only nominal, and that if there was a dispute that engulfed someone else's spinning wheel or caused a conflict with the help of this agreement, it would be resolved by the Mexican Party.

At the same time, these spinning wheels were used as collateral to obtain small low-interest loans from Chen Jian. The interest on the loan is much lower than that of a normal loan shark, and Chen Jian does not support cash and uses cotton as a loan payment.

After spinning, it is up to these cooperatives to decide whether or not to sell the yarn and are responsible for their own profits and losses. However, because of the establishment of large cooperatives, they have a certain amount of bargaining power.

Originally, there was less of the two layers of exploitation by contractors in cotton and loan interest, and if the price of cotton yarn could be completely in accordance with the laws of the market, it would seem that it would be profitable.

The interest rate is much lower than that of the previous contractor, and there is really no reason to refuse.

It is equivalent to the amount of profit determined by the market, and the profit is the value of their labor minus part of the fees charged by Chen Jian, and they are completely self-financing. However, in this way, we can see hope earlier, and complete the primitive accumulation of labor earlier.

The same form is used for weaving, but as with spinners, several cooperatives must jointly elect a person to take risks and borrow money.

In fact, this utopian cooperative movement is of little use, and the utopians within the party have a vague sense that labor is the only source of wealth, but do not realize that wealth can only be created when labor and the means of production are combined.

The idea of this faction was to rely on the state to establish cooperatives, and to unite small craftsmen, so that as long as there were no problems, cotton would be spun into yarn and yarn into cotton cloth, and it would certainly make money. As long as all the money is earned by the laborers, this is an ideal society.

The current situation is that Chen Jian and the party produce money and the grassroots organizations control the situation, creating a false impression in the cotton spinning industry in Fujian that has replaced the political power, and some people mistakenly believe that this is a desirable road.

The problem is that if there is no conscience, and if you only need to raise the price of cotton a little and manipulate the price of cotton yarn, these cooperatives will fall into the same situation as when contractors existed before.

Regardless, these moves dealt a severe blow to the cotton spinning guilds and contractors in Mincheng.

In a matter of days, a large number of contractors lost their normal income, and they did not know what to spend their money with. The Cotton Spinning Guild was also crumbling internally, unable to control the price of cotton yarn or cloth, and completely lost its value of existence.

Chen Jian liberalized the control of cotton in handicraft workshops, but the number of handicraft workshops was not large compared to the number of all participating cooperatives, which made it difficult to control the price.

Relying on the form of control from raw materials, grassroots labor to eventual acquisition and sales, this approach can exist temporarily and may benefit these cooperatives.

It seems that Chen Jian is purely trying to gain fame, because he should earn more money if he uses it elsewhere.

However, this is not the case.

In February, when the voters were counted, the person in charge of the statistics suddenly discovered a serious problem: Mincheng and the surrounding rural areas suddenly had half more voters with voting rights than last year.

From the surrounding rural areas to the cities, the Mexican Party used this form of organizing cooperatives and using its own reputation and financial resources as a guarantee to take advantage of legal loopholes to turn the legal persons of cooperatives into natural persons with voting rights.

Individual craftsmen are not entitled to votes because of their financial resources and property, but when they are united, they become one, and the amount of their property and property happens to have the right to vote.

A large number of members of the Mexican Party who did not have the right to vote registered with the shares of the party property and the dividend shares of some of Chen Jian's workshops, and became people with the right to vote.

A large amount of real estate purchased by Chen Jian during the orchid craze was transferred to some members of the Mexican Party.

Before the statistics, a large number of ticket qualifications were created.

There is no law on such unreasonableness. Moreover, if there is no party organization, normal people will not use this method, and there is no such organizational power.

It's true that no one has ever done such a despicable thing, and no one has thought about it, but the group of people in the Mexican Party did it so shamelessly with loopholes.

This time, something really happened in Mincheng.

You don't have to think about it to know who these extra people with voting rights will vote for.

Counting the fortuitous miners' petition and the ginning workers' revolt in the northern cotton-producing areas, this is already the fifth big news brought by Mincheng that can alarm the whole country.
