Chapter 180: Persuade You to Familiarize yourself with Feudalism

Next to a large osmanthus tree, Du Zhongxiao and Wang Anshi sat opposite each other. There was a small mud stove in the middle, with bamboo leaves and sake on it. A small table was placed with a large plate of fish pieces, and next to it was an enamel plate with barbecue skewers made with bamboo sticks.

Not far away, Shisanlang and Tao Shiqi sat side by side on the oven, filled with mutton skewers.

Shisanlang picked up a bunch of meat, took a big bite, grabbed the bottle next to him and drank, and said to Tao Shiqi: "Shiqi, you are an official now. Although you are in official business, you often have to come back to see the officials. Without the official, how can you be today?"

Tao Shiqi shook his head: "I'm so blaming me? If I can't walk away, it's just a job arranged by the officials. It's not that Su Zhijian doesn't allow me to come, but I really can't get rid of myself. As soon as I walk away, many jobs will stop, so who dares to take this responsibility!"

Shisanlang said: "What kind of work can the official arrange for you? Now, we are practicing troops every day, and we will no longer worry about those mundane affairs!"

Tao Shiqi said: "What do you know! You are just asking you to train troops, and the affairs of the camp and the Changping Office, and the officials don't care about it! This year, the railway from Xiangzhou to Jiangling Prefecture was opened, but there were no cars running. A few days ago, the officials went to the Railway Supervision Bureau and wanted to move out a few trains no matter how they were."

Shisanlang didn't worry about these things and said, "Don't talk about these things. Take the washed necked breeze and put it on it and bake it."

With the help of Du Zhongxiao, Ma Zun was transferred to prefectures and counties along the route and built the railway from Xiangzhou to Jiangling. The railway tracks were laid, but he found that the trains that could not be bought were not available. The production capacity of the railway supervisor was limited, and the vehicles produced must first be used directly under the control of the Sansi and Jingxi Road. The shipping department naturally had to line up behind. According to the railway supervisor progress, there were cars and roads on the road. It would take a year later. How could Ma Zun wait? He had to come to Du Zhongxiao again and asked him to write a letter to the Zhijian Su Song. No matter what, he would move a few trains to the Jingxiang Line.

Tao Shiqi worked in the Iron Supervision Bureau, and according to his rank, he was still above Liu Wei. However, he was a military official and was in charge of supervision and work. His status in this era was not high. He was mainly in charge of technology and production, regardless of money and materials, and was not a celebrity in the Iron Supervision Bureau.

Du Zhongxiao and Wang Anshi drank a glass of wine, picked up a skewer of meat to eat, and said in his mouth: "This mutton is very tender, Jie Fu tastes it."

Wang Anshi lives casually and doesn't care about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He often thinks about his thoughts when eating, but he doesn't know what he has eaten. However, after walking in the countryside for a few days, he learned about the situation nearby and was greatly encouraged. He was in a good mood today. He put down a cup, took a skewer of meat, and chewed it slowly. Wang Anshi just doesn't care about food, not that he doesn't understand it, but when he is serious, he does it all. In the wine banquet, ancient and modern, both in China and abroad, he can tell more about it than Du Zhongxiao.

After eating the meat, Wang Anshi nodded: "This sheep is very tender and fresh, and the grill is just right, which is really good. Especially with the addition of Anxi fennel, there is a special fragrance. Compared with other places, the meat here is better than one fragrance and the other tender."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The trick to roasting this is not only about resting the fennel, but also about the flavor first, brush honey on it and then roast it."

Wang Anshi praised the words, drinking warm wine while eating barbecue kebabs. Barbecue is a long-standing delicacy, especially in the era when cooking skills are not rich, and this way of eating is even more important. The popular barbecue in the Song Dynasty was not only popular among the army, but also among the people. However, mutton is more popular when it is cooked, while pork is popular and fried. The roasted Zhuyuan in Tokyo is very famous.

After drinking for a while, Wang Anshi said, "I have been walking around the countryside these days and met many people. Many slim-tie soldiers were poor and had no skills before coming here. In just one or two years, they learned to farm, raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and their lives were very prosperous."

Du Zhongxiao said: "That's natural. In the past, how much does it cost to feed a month for a wing army? He also had to support his wife, children, and the elderly, so he was naturally short of money. After the land management and land was opened, each person planted thirty or fifty acres of land and his own private land. Life would never be too bad."

Wang Anshi nodded repeatedly: "That's why after seeing this, I realized why Tang won the world and equalize the fields. Everyone has fields to plant, live a peaceful life, and only when there is war can we go out to fight and be loyal to the country. Tang lost the world and equal fields were corrupt, which was a major reason."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't the Tang people know? But what are the ways? When the country was first established, they could equalize the land and pay tribute, but after decades, they could not be maintained. There are thousands of benefits, but if they cannot be maintained, they will be useless."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "Why can such a good law be maintained? It's not only the same. The poor lose their land and have no jobs, which leads to the destruction of the land. If the powerful can be controlled and the merger is suppressed, it may not be impossible to support it."

Du Zhongxiao persuaded him to drink a glass of wine: "The merger is naturally the cause, but the corruption is not just because of the merger. When the first land was equal, a household with five people was monogamous, not an elderly person, but three children. Children were adults and had children. For decades, the land was enough. The world was limited, and the children and grandchildren were endless. How could they maintain equal land by farming alone?"

Wang Anshi said: "It makes sense. So I think that building a village community is a great policy for a good rule. Children can multiply and work in the village community and earn money to support their families. In this way, although the population is too large and the number of fields remains unchanged, the money and grain can be collected more."

Du Zhongxiao said: "That's true, and it is indeed possible to do this. For example, the iron supervision and shopping malls will soon be able to spread the world. The villages and communities that rely on will develop. One day, fewer people will farm, and more and more people will work and business. Although there are fewer people, more and more grains will be planted in the fields, and there will be no hunger or cold in the world. At that time, there will be no more money and grain, only money. However, Jiefu will still have the trouble of money at that time, which is similar to the fact that equal fields cannot be maintained. There are many people and fewer land, and people can work and do business. If the world has no opportunity to make money at that time, what can we do?"

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "How could there be such a day! I looked at the Iron Supervisor and the mall. After I made money, I used the money I earned as my capital and made it bigger. When they did it bigger, they could use more people to promote it in the world, almost endlessly."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and advised Wang Anshi to drink and eat meat. This is to expand reproduction. As long as it can continue, industry promotes commerce and commerce drives industry, the snowball will grow bigger and bigger. As long as there is enough food, social production can continue to expand. Wang Anshi is good at thinking and soon discovered the power of expanding reproduction, and moved his mind to production, without thinking about how to crack down on the powerful and seize wealth and become officials.

To use later generations, Wang Anshi's reform in his mind was to re-dividing the cake, but now he has discovered a way to make a bigger cake. What is the strange thing about this method? Almost everyone knows about later generations, but how many reforms in countries around the world have been successful?

Du Zhongxiao has established these industries and opened the door to industrialization and will not think about it all day long. What he is thinking about now is how to avoid the disadvantages and be able to maintain long-term stability. Wang Anshi just discovered that the industry has expanded and reproduction, and it is still difficult for the two to talk about it together.

After eating a while, Du Zhongxiao said, "Jie Fu, it's actually the same principle as land annexation. When many workers in the world are working, and many people start business in the factory, they are no longer as easy as they are now, and there will still be annexation disasters. What is the biggest disadvantage of annexation? It is not that the rich are richer and the poor are poorer, which will not ruin the world and cannot be cured. Just like after the land annexation, there will be a powerful family that will remain unchanged for generations, and industrial and commercial annexation will also have a giant family that will have a wealth of life, and the wealth of the world will have to be included in their hands. In the past lifetimes, it is feudal. Not only does it take for farming and farming to have feudal lords, but the wealth of the world will be transferred to industry and commerce, and feudal lords will also have it. It is better to read the feudal theory of the Tang Dynasty's equal land system."

As the iron supervision and field affairs developed, Du Zhongxiao continued to deduce it. Based on the knowledge he learned in his previous life and the reality of this era, how to avoid various disadvantages? Let the society develop in the long run instead of being short-lived, and his efforts will eventually become a bubble.

This and that are actually derived from the reality of Europe, and this era has no meaning to Du Zhongxiao. What can truly guide reality is the historical tradition of China, the contradiction between great unification and feudalism.

There is no feudalism when entering the capital society? Through various operations, some large families can control huge wealth and control the power to distribute social wealth for many years. This characteristic is similar to the landlords in the agricultural era, but it is just a feudal lord in the industrial capital era.

Simply putting Chinese history into the European template will lead to an important contradiction, namely the contradiction between great unification and feudalism. China's tradition is great unification, the Song Dynasty is the pinnacle, the Ming Dynasty's great celibacy of the royal family has a resurgence, and the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners system has taken a step back.

If we start from the contradiction between unification and feudalism, many things will be changed to another face. In the later industrial development, there was a trend of globalization, which actually expanded the scope to the world according to European history, and some aristocrats carried out capital feudalism. Why do many capitalists strive to be China's Morgan and China's Rockefeller? What they imitate is not their success, but their feudal characteristics.

With a unified China that swept away the remnants of feudalism, globalization is simply impossible. Chinese capital included in the unified system will smash the capital feudalism formed in other places, and the two are incompatible. Unless China's capital can also achieve feudalization, globalization will inevitably regress and occupy a territory. At that time, globalization of trade could not occur, and globalization of capital could not occur.
