Chapter 628: The Capitalists Ask for Monthly Tickets
Of course, Yang Laobai is surnamed Yang, but Lao Bai is a nickname, which means that there is nothing in the family, and he is a tenant of Liu Zongying's family. When he was 30 years old, he borrowed usury from Liu Zongying to marry a stupid daughter-in-law with a little brain, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, one of whom did not support him, and the other was a little stupid, as for that daughter, of course it is ugly - the kind of landlord old Caiqiang marrying the beautiful daughter of a tenant old peasant family is very rare in real life. Because it is not in accordance with sociology and genetics, the former makes it impossible for tenants to marry beautiful women, and the latter makes it difficult for ugly girls to give birth to beautiful girls. And if the beautiful girl of the tenant family is favored by the landlord, it is often too late to be happy, and there is no need to rob it.
So Yang Laobai is just an old white, not a vain worker. When Liu Zongxian walked into the house, this "old farmer" under the age of 40, whose face was full of suffering lines and was tortured by life, was kneeling on the ground and crying. Because Liu Zongying and Master Liu decided not to exploit him anymore and wanted to drive him away from the land......
This is, of course, a very cruel and immoral thing! If he were replaced by some other time-traveler sitting on Zhu Jishi's throne, he would definitely do everything possible to completely eliminate thousands of landlords and bullies like Liu Zongying from body to spirit, and then distribute his family property to poor peasants like Yang Laobai, which is said to liberate the rural productive forces and promote the development of Chinese capitalism!
Seems to make a lot of sense! This is like confiscating the assets of leading enterprises in a certain industry in later China, eliminating their core management and core technical personnel, and then distributing their assets evenly to the bankrupt and bankrupt companies in this industry, so that China can rise greatly!
However, Emperor Zhu was a very selfish traverser. Not for the hundreds of millions of toiling people. Thinking only about his empire. He doesn't care what Yang Laobai or Yang Bailao is exploited into......
"Brother, isn't this good......" Liu Zongxian looked at Yang Laobai's rickety back, and whispered to his brother, "Yang Laobai has been planting fields for our family for ten years, so I drove it away, I'm afraid of ......"
"If you don't drive it away, you can't do it!" Liu Zongying pulled the abacus beads, looking like a landlord and old wealth, "Look at what he has planted the five acres of paddy fields that are good?" Don't say it's a ploughing cow. I don't even have a good plow...... I'll take back this land and get it myself, hire some people to shovel the fields while the farmers are idle, repair the canals, and drive Ming'er to the city to buy two cattle and come back. The Li family and the Liu family let them stay as long-term workers, and it was enough to give them two or three yuan for food and lodging a year, and the three tenants were also driven away......"
Liu Zongying and Liu Zongxian originally had a total of 66 acres of paddy fields, and the Liu brothers were all scholars, and they did not manage it themselves, and rented it to 7 tenants. Now 15 acres have been sold, and there is one less tenant. There are 51 acres left, which are rented to 6 tenants. In addition to collecting rent from tenants. Liu Zongying also lent money to them, and of course the interest was high...... But that's nominal usury, and there's always a bottom line for exploitation in reality – you can't let the tenants starve to death, otherwise who will rent his land? And the tenants are forced to work hard, and it is difficult to say whether the Liu family can hold it at that time, even if they can hold it, they will kill all the tenants, and the county government of Dayi County is also a bottomless pit, and if the officials are not fed, Liu Zongying will have to fight for his life.
But now, Emperor Zhu's two policies have made Liu Zongying begin to break through the bottom line of exploitation! First of all, the age limit of the imperial examination allowed Liu Zongying to break away from the sage book and change from a gentry landlord to an ordinary landlord. The policy of developing the Northeast and the South Seas gave the poor peasants who had been deprived of their land a last way to live, thus allowing Liu Zongying to transform from a landlord to an agricultural capitalist again, using hired labor to manage land and agriculture. Capitalists, of course, from head to toe, with blood and filth dripping from every pore. What kind of good people can they be expected to be in the process of primitive accumulation?
……
Hong Kong, Orchid College.
Bai Enming, who has completed the primitive accumulation with the same shady means, has now been whitewashed and has just become the first Chinese Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong - originally Governor Davis wanted Zhu Jishi to become the first Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, but Emperor Zhu didn't bird him at all. The title now belongs to Pak for his zealous journalism, education and outstanding contributions to the construction of Hong Kong (real estate business), which he was conferred by Governor Bonham in January 1852.
"Mr. Bai, can you really have a monthly salary of 100 yuan?"
As soon as the third day of the Lunar New Year, he personally received the students who came to sign up in the Lanxiang Academy, most of them were middle-aged people over 30 years old, and they all asked the same question in an uncertain tone.
"There really will be, I promise." Bai Enming smiled and said, "How could it not be?" How many Chinese Western doctors are there in Quan Daming now? Including the emperor, it is less than 200, which is rarer than Jinshi. Those doctors who have traveled across the ocean and brought in from Europe cost at least one or two thousand pounds a year, which is 3,000 to 6,000 silver dollars, how can you not earn 1,200? ”
The middle-aged man who listened to Bai Enming's Shaoxing accent after flipping through the explanation breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a rectangular cloth bag from the inner pocket of his robe, and after opening it layer by layer, it revealed a neat stack of HSBC 10 yuan bills......
Seeing the money, Bai Enming's eyes, who were getting obese and getting fatter, immediately narrowed into a slit with laughter. Of the 1,000 yuan, at least 500 yuan is pure profit! If 1,000 people can be recruited, Lanxiang Academy will be able to earn 500,000 yuan! This education is really a more lucrative business than real estate!
In Fort Maria, at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain outside Yingtian City, in the living room, the general manager of New Oriental Specialized Education Group, Robert . Owen took a stack of reports and said to Zhu Jishi: "Your Majesty the Emperor, as of the end of January, we have enrolled a total of 11,000 junior college students, belonging to textile, steel, shipbuilding, chemistry, construction, pharmaceutical, agriculture, mining, finance, commerce, porcelain, animal husbandry, machinery and other industries, in addition to some English, law, accounting, physicians and other college students. ”
Originally, New Oriental Education did not offer four specialties: English, Law, Accounting, and Physician. However, after Zhu Jishi saw the enrollment advertisement of Lanxiang Academy on "Qingliu Daily", he immediately decided to follow suit. Because there is also a shortage of talent in these four industries – which has become a major bottleneck with the development of China's capitalist economy. If we want to rely on 19 new seowon and four Jese universities to train talents step by step, it will not be able to meet the market demand in any case, so the emergence of fast-track vocational schools has become inevitable.
“11000…… Strategist, how many people did that Lanxiang Academy recruit? Zhu Jishi asked Luo Zenan, who was sitting on the side. Of course, Lanxiang Academy and the Constitutional Research Society are under the supervision of Jinyiwei, and every week a report is sent to Luo Zenan's desk.
"They recruited 1,000 people." Luo Zenan said, "In addition, Bai Enming's background has been clarified, he is Bai Siwen, the former deputy minister of foreign affairs of the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"So it's him?" Zhu Jishi touched his beard, and said in his heart, this guy is not bad, he actually opened a school, ran a newspaper, and is still a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong, and he is a Justice of the Peace, which can be regarded as a prosperous situation.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ......" Luo Zenan made a slashing gesture. Bai Siwen thought he was safe in Hong Kong, but in fact, it was too easy for Emperor Zhu to take his life!
"I don't need it, I don't need it." Zhu Jishi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Just continue to monitor, this guy and I have known each other since Europe, and they are old acquaintances." To get to this point, he can be regarded as a legend, how sad is it to die? ”
"Your Majesty, what about the Constitutional Research Society?"
Zhu Jishi frowned, there are a total of 13 people in this research society, which can be called 13 Taibao, but 8 of them are not active at all, and only 5 people often meet. is known as the 5 tiger generals of the constitution, which sounds like the fate of cannon fodder. However, there is actually a person named Sun Wen among them, who is still studying medicine, which is really uneasy! (To be continued......)
