Even from the point of view of the theory of productive forces and the increase in the total national wealth caused by labor, Chen Jian's voice at the welcoming ceremony is correct.

The Great Wilderness City is not the Great Northern Wilderness, not the legendary Great Northern Wilderness where the gadfly is as big as a cicada and pees with a stick in winter; The Black Swan River is not a freshwater river, nor is it a tropical tropic where malaria is rampant, miasma spreads, and tropical diseases spread; The ends of the earth are not barren grasslands and plateau permafrost crisscrossed by mountains beyond Yangguan.

The land here is almost infinite, but only human labor can create value from it. Even if the means of production are not changed, even if there is no rapid technological addition, these places are still suitable for reclaiming—the means of production have not improved, but those who are unable to cultivate three or five acres of land with all their labor have become those who can cultivate thirty or fifty acres of land to the limit of their labor...... How to calculate the total output of various agricultural products is also increased, and the total national wealth is also increased.

If the republic is really a whole, with the interests of the so-called supra-class ethnic groups, it is said that the supra-class interest associations after this circum-the-world voyage should be discussing the large-scale development of emigration, the planning of distribution, and the substitution of the visible hand for the invisible hand to invest the whole wealth and capital of the country in the cause related to immigration.

Replacing free movement with planned regulation, both in terms of population and capital, is the best and most efficient option for the benefit of the community.

It's just that this is a conjecture, and Chen Jian knows that the so-called proposal he said will be rejected as a matter of course, even if his reasons are sufficient, it is meaningless.

All that remains is the creation of a larger number of people at the bottom who are angry, hungry for change, and extremely distrustful of traditional councils.

This is a necessary enlightenment education, and the reasons do not need to be too complex theories, and they are easy to understand.

But at this time, Chen Jian's words were just a high-spirited and bright festival of "asking for the people's life", and no one dared to kill him openly anyway.

It's a bit like the Donglin Party outside the ocean, but the difference is that in addition to scolding, Jian Chen also knows what to do, and is silently preparing to flip the table, because he knows what to do and also knows that he can't do it without making a fuss.

What to do, very important.

It's just that sometimes in order to achieve what to do, it is necessary to use some roundabout means.

After arriving in the capital, in addition to chatting and laughing with the big figures of the republic and explaining the situation in the world with the historical perspective he had learned, Chen Jian also gave speeches and wrote commentaries on the streets of the capital every once in a while, and used the organization of the Mo Party in the capital to print tabloids.

The basic content is mainly bourgeois democracy and some scratches of classical political and political economy. For example, is national wealth money or the product of labor? For example, the relationship between the Chinese people and the country? For example, why is there still no one investing in so much land overseas? For example, explain the spontaneous liquidity of capital, and so on.

The effect is remarkable, and the number of people who listen to the lecture every day is as few as thousands or tens of thousands, which complements Gu Xiancheng's Donglin Academy outside Huishan in Wuxi beyond the ocean, but the effect is the same.

pamphlets and newspapers were published; One by one, the world of suggestions for opening the people's intelligent geography attempt is introduced and sent; Lectures on the concept of labor creating value...... In exchange, how to live or how to live, it is nothing more than some after-dinner conversation.

And while these propaganda and agitation, the real bigwigs have already begun to act.

In a quiet voice, a new bill was enacted in the capital called the "Overseas Trading Company Share Restriction Act".

In order to prevent large-scale smuggling and to facilitate management, this bill requires that newly established overseas trading companies must have more than 5 million silver coins in shares for registration, in addition to the existing Nanyang Company and the Great Wilderness City Immigration Company.

In view of the fact that overseas trading companies may have a tendency to evade taxes and smuggle; and capital is prone to flee elsewhere, and businessmen are mercenary; Large-scale overseas companies must have large-scale armaments and so on......

Therefore, the promoter of the newly established overseas trading company must be a pillar of the republic with 30,000 acres of land and above, because people and silver can run, but land cannot run, as a special trust mortgage.

It sounds reasonable, but then the purpose is revealed.

Subsequently, a number of large families formed a joint-stock company called the "Huaxia India Company", and after asking the king's consent, they obtained a monopoly on trade between the Strait of Malacca and the ends of the earth at the cost of 10 percent of the annual profits being owned by the republic, and the monopoly was unlimited unless the king and the council vetoed it.

It is not taxed every year, because that part of India just sounds rich and has a tax system, so it is theoretically possible to make huge profits by land rent and military conquest. But because it just sounds like it doesn't really make a profit, so it is a monopoly at the cost of 10 percent of the future gains, so there is no need to start taking money out now.

As for the limit of shares above five million silver coins, it was a disguised mortgage on the immovable property of the land deed, and in the case of merchants' contributions, the five million silver coins had to be real money and working capital, which limited the possibility of merchants and industrial capitalists setting up a fourth overseas trading company.

The company's shares are different from Nanyang's social offerings; It is also different from the party property of the Great Wilderness City Immigration Company; Rather, it stipulates that the shares to be raised are not aimed at small shares for the sake of ease of management, and that the minimum share is 15,000 Republican standard silver coins.

In fact, this is equivalent to some big families who have nothing to do, but use the power in their hands to get a monopoly franchise. This pit of the franchise is occupied first, and even if it is not operated by itself, no one else is allowed to operate it. However, once it is profitable, and they don't need to invest much capital at all, there will naturally be big businessmen who choose to invest, and the monopoly of rights is like carrion, and big capital is like maggots.

When Chen Jian set up companies in Minjun and other counties in the south, he selected the businessmen as much as possible, and never allowed the rentier class to reach in for the dominant power, but in terms of social capital, he also recruited a group of yeoman farmers and commercial landlords as the fundraisers of social capital.

As long as the 60 percent vacant shares of Nanyang Company are not seized by the rights, Nanyang Company is a company that has little to do with the land family.

But this Indian company is a giant company dominated by land families, invested by big businessmen, and the two are combined. There will be contradictions between the two, but it is easy for them to unite together to form a huge interest group.

Moreover, because the minimum shareholding conditions are 15,000 silver coins and real estate mortgages, social capital and middle-level forces are completely excluded. This is not a population of hundreds of thousands of people in the Netherlands has to be made up from the people,

Five million silver coins do not need any social capital at all, and land rent as a means of primitive accumulation lasts for a hundred years, which is enough to come up with so much money, as long as profitable capital is found.

It is also said that several large families are preparing to unite to form a third bank in the Republic, and that they will have the right to issue money because of the collateral such as real estate and the loyalty and contribution of these families in the war. This matter will be discussed and approved at the next meeting of the National Assembly.

Chen Jian turned a deaf ear to these rumors, and did not make some extreme remarks in the limelight, but tirelessly continued to promote on the streets.

It seems that there is a bit of naivety that pins all hopes on these invisible aristocratic chaebols to solve the problems of the lower strata of the ethnic group by reforming their own lives, and even shifts the focus of the countrymen's attention away from these two things to some extent.

Others are surprised that the propaganda department of the entire Mexican Party in the capital also seems to ignore the possible implications of the two events of Indian companies and the bank's right to issue notes, and instead spends its days promoting the messy but easily understandable things of the middle and lower classes, which are completely different from what some have heard of the Moxican Party's activities in Min and the surrounding counties.

One autumn day, in a palatial manor outside the capital, dozens of comfortable, silver-decorated humming cars were parked in the courtyard.

The butler was busy entertaining these great men who could cause a sensation by stomping their feet in the capital, for fear that the slightest mishospitality would disgrace their masters, and the reflection of the large pieces of transparent glass gave the manor a far more glamorous appearance than it had been ten years ago.

The lead-glass chandeliers in the hall flickered with whale oil candles, an expensive thing, not quite the kerosene refined from the black oil dug out of the stones, which became a watershed between the middle and upper classes of nightlife, symbolic more than practical.

Carefully polished marble floors are covered with patterned hand-knitted pile blankets, flavorful glass screens are set aside, and maids are shuttling back and forth, and the room smells faintly of the finest Spanish tobacco, as well as the scent of some expensive fruits that should only be found in the tropics.

There are several paintings hanging on the walls, as well as an ancient bronze armor, two quaint bronze swords, and a carefully decorated stick figure of a very old Feather Forest orphan painted on birch bark.

It is a fake, of course, but it is placed in the most formal position in the hall.

No one dared to laugh at this child-like graffiti, because this simple, forged painting proclaimed the purity of the blood of the owner of the manor, which was a real family with the country.

The rest of the paintings are all about military glory.

The most recent is a picture of the fateful battle during the War of Unification, in which the grandfather of the owner of the manor is directing the cavalry charge on a white horse, and at the moment frozen in the picture, he is swinging his sword and stabbing a fleeing patriotic artilleryman, and in the distance there are several dismounted cavalrymen holding wedges and hammers into the fire door of the cannon......
