Chapter 2278, The Confrontation between Feudalism and the New Era

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the leadership of Liu Jin, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, the Xungui Group, had actually transformed into an emerging bourgeoisie early on, with each of their subordinates owning a large number of industries.

    These factories, firms, etc. are all controlled by emerging capitalists and entrepreneurs. These feudal nobles are just emerging capitalists disguised as feudal nobles.

    The traditional feudal nobles relied on the traditional feudal enfeoffment system to survive. They relied on the output of the enfeoffed land obtained by their families to survive, plus doing some small businesses as appropriate.

    Under such a system, although these noble groups can live a good life, the wealth and energy they control are far inferior to those of capitalists.

    The output of the land is limited, especially under traditional farming. The little food, cloth, tea, etc., can still allow these nobles to live a good life in a feudal society.  .

    But in an era of rapid development, capital is rampant, and technology is developing rapidly, this output seems insignificant.

    Factories and commercial banks are different. As soon as the factory's machines are started, money rolls in like snowflakes. The income that any factory can generate in a year is higher than the income that was previously obtained by being close to the land.

    Although these nobles of the Ming Dynasty are still nobles, they have essentially broken away from the original feudal aristocracy and are representatives of the emerging bourgeoisie.

    Since it is the bourgeoisie, it will naturally have its own interests and demands that the entire social system be better suited to the development of the capitalist era.

    To put it simply, it requires the court to better serve itself and the capitalist era.

    It¡¯s very simple, the capitalist era and the industrial era require a large amount of raw materials and markets.

    This will require the Ming Empire to always maintain a strong posture externally, because only a powerful Ming Empire can successfully open up the markets of other countries, and at the same time involve other countries into the rolling capitalist era, making the whole world a  Capitalists¡¯ sources of raw materials and markets for product sales.

    In this regard, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren did very well when they were here.

    Continuous external expansion, acquiring more land to grow cotton and raise sheep, which was the source of raw materials, also used the powerful force of the Ming Empire to force the Ottoman Empire to sign a trade agreement, so that the Ming Empire's goods could be dumped into the Ottoman Empire, and  No additional tariffs, etc.

    ¡°In the final analysis, these are all serving the development of capitalism, finding the origin of raw materials and product sales places for capitalists, so that the products of the Ming Empire can be sold around the world, and they also obtain raw materials from all over the world.

    For this reason, Liu Jin even used grain to attack major grain-producing areas around the world, asking Europe, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, China and other regions to give up growing their own grain and instead plant cotton and raise sheep, so that they can get more  of raw materials.

    This is also a very important reason for the crisis in the Ming Dynasty's textile industry, because with sufficient supply of raw materials and all the machines in the textile industry running, production capacity has skyrocketed, and the world simply cannot digest so many clothes and shoes.

    But by the time of the Yongsheng Dynasty, Emperor Yongsheng began to reuse his traditional conservative civil servants. The ideas of these conservative civil servants ran counter to the interests of the bourgeoisie.

    A very simple point is that most of the conservative civil servants are always talking about the ancient system, the ancient system and so on. They are used to the traditional way of being officials. They are aloof and the people are ignorant and ignorant. They can do whatever they want.  Kneading, they just need to drink tea, read the newspaper, and read the newspaper.

    Being an official like this is naturally very comfortable. There are very few things you need to do every day.

    But for capitalists in the new era, they have many requirements. For example, if capitalists want to build factories, they naturally require the construction of good roads, railways, ports, etc., so as to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and commodities.

    At the same time, emerging capitalists will also require better and easier recruitment of enough workers and good enough workers, which requires free movement of the population and requires these workers to obtain certain basic education.

    ¡°At the very least, if workers can read, know weights and measures, be able to do arithmetic, etc., they will be able to do the work in the factory.

    Especially in some technical factories and emerging fields that require technology, the requirements for workers are even higher. They not only need to know words and arithmetic, but also need to understand more scientific knowledge, mechanical knowledge, etc.

    Only on this basis can these capitalists be able to develop their own businesses with higher technical content andsp; This is a typical phenomenon after breaking down barriers. Only when there is competition in the market can there be services and better quality and value.

    The traditional feudal system often relied on this kind of policy barrier to establish interests in this area through various laws or privileges.

    Relatively speaking, capitalists hope to obtain a fair competitive environment, where everyone can participate and earn a living based on their abilities.

    In addition, the bourgeoisie hopes that the government can respond more quickly, so that if any problems or troubles arise, they can be resolved quickly.

    ¡°The traditional feudal system and bureaucrats are obviously unable to do this. They feel that they are the old men of this society, and it is the capitalists who serve themselves, rather than themselves serving the capitalists.

    ??In the final analysis, it is actually a struggle for the right to speak.

    If capitalists want to develop better, they must have power and voice, so that they can better serve the development and growth of the bourgeoisie.

    But the traditional feudal system and bureaucratic system are obviously unable to adapt to this.

    In the past, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren realized this easily, so they have been making efforts in various aspects, but now.

    The Yongsheng Emperor Zhu Zaicheng began to reuse these feudal conservative officials. Not only did they fail to make efforts in this regard, they even began to act in reverse and introduced some systems that were not conducive to the development of capitalism.

    For example, they believe that new learning is the root cause of the spread of public school thought and other new trends of thought, and that new learning should be strictly prohibited and the opening of new learning schools should be prohibited.

    Instead, we should pay attention to traditional Confucian education and vigorously establish more private schools, academies, etc. to spread Confucian education and ideas.

    This alone completely angered the bourgeoisie, and also angered ordinary people throughout the Ming Dynasty.

    For ordinary people, of course they hope that their children can receive education and gain knowledge, because only in this way can they change their own destiny.

    The existence of Xinxue has enabled countless Ming people to acquire knowledge, master knowledge, and change their own destiny. Countless Ming people have transformed from traditional farmers into industrial workers, business managers, teachers, doctors, engineers, etc. in the city.  wait.

    They have gained higher incomes and lived a completely different life from their ancestors. They are now the mainstream and main force in the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course they don¡¯t want to lose their jobs or their lives, nor do they want to be illiterate like their ancestors, knowing nothing and knowing nothing.

    New learning is the foundation, and prohibiting new learning will disturb their foundation and foundation, and will naturally be strongly opposed by them.

    Fortunately, Emperor Yongsheng was still sober and did not really listen to the opinions of these conservative officials. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos long ago.

    Liu Jin looked at the newspaper, looking at the things reported in the newspaper, and he was thinking rapidly in his mind.

    Emperor Yongsheng was both lucky and sad.

    Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty took over a great situation. Sadly, with the development of the times, the feudal era is constantly being buried, and the development of the emerging bourgeoisie has put forward more requirements for him as the emperor. If he cannot adapt to this  era.

    If he still wants the imperial era like before, his future will be full of all kinds of changes.

    The bourgeoisie today is not the same as it was a few decades ago. They have already occupied the mainstream in the Ming Dynasty, and they also have extremely huge power.

    It is not difficult or impossible to unite to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty.

    And now the bourgeoisie has its own ideological guidance, as well as the examples set by the South African Colony and the Western Union Trading Company.

    Gongtianxia is not unfeasible. In fact, Gongtianxia can do better than Jiatianxia.

    If Emperor Yongsheng continues like this, bourgeois revolution will inevitably occur.
