Chapter 640 Trend (1)

Qi Luqing is not yet alive, and the good fortune Zhong Shenxiu.

The ancient city of Qingzhou, April in the world.

In the back house of the Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Qingwan leaned on the railing alone, staring at the little lotus in the lotus pond alone.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from behind, and the woman came back to her senses: "Husband, you are back."

"Madam, the world has changed." Zhao Mingcheng sat aside with a sad face.

The woman lightly brushed the ends of her hair, and poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Mingcheng: "Warm your spleen and stomach, this early spring is warm and cold, so don't catch a cold."

Zhao Mingcheng took a sip of hot tea. It wasn't that he felt sorry for Song Dynasty, but that after the People's Revolutionary League ruled the world, there was no need for landlords and old literati.

This led Zhao Mingcheng and others to either open a small shop, or go to the countryside to farm, and wanted to become an official with the help of the Four Books and Five Classics, without any channels at all.

He sighed, "Our family only has 60 mu of Susukida left, what should we do in the future?"

"Husband, I still have some jewelry, let's pawn some money!" The woman did not feel sorry for herself.

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Where is there a pawn shop now? You can only go to the government-run museum pawn shop if you want to pawn. A few pieces of jewelry are worthless, so keep them!"

The blow to the old economic system by the Human Revolutionary Federation is a systematic destruction.

The pawnshop industry itself requires a lot of capital and a big background to do it. Now the former wealthy class has suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ones have no land, so they can only do small-scale individual businesses.

Even if there is a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in someone's home, they dare not take it out.

As for using real gold and silver to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy food and the like, the supply and marketing cooperatives do not recognize gold, silver and copper at all, they can only use banknotes, and everyone has to use their ID cards to buy, and there is a monthly quota.

The heads of those speculators who tried to disturb the market have already been hung at the gate of the vegetable market.

Now Zhao Mingcheng is full of sadness. Although the thousands of acres of cultivated land in his family have been expropriated through redemption because of his family tradition, the local government has only paid 320,000 yuan in compensation.

The compensation of 320,000 yuan seems to be a lot. If it is an ordinary household, the money is enough to feed a family of five for more than ten years.

But Zhao Mingcheng wants to study inscriptions and archaeology, and the couple are not good at business, so they can only sit and eat. If this continues, the hundreds of thousands of compensation will not be enough for him to use for a few years.

Unless he is willing to give up studying inscriptions and archaeology, return to farming, or become a small business, otherwise the money is not enough.

The more troublesome thing is that if the farmland in his family is abandoned for three consecutive years, after confirmation by the Department of Agriculture and the Township Farmers Association, these fields will be forcibly confiscated.

For these guys who occupy the latrine and don't shit, just give them a drudgery.

As for hiring people to farm, it is not impossible, but the minimum wage must be guaranteed to be no lower than that of farm workers, that is, 4,500 yuan per month, or 150 yuan per day. If an accident occurs to a migrant worker during work, the employer must bear the corresponding responsibility.

This salary standard directly kills the motivation to hire people to plow the fields.

Even with rough farming, one person can cultivate dozens of acres, but the annual agricultural output value of tens of acres of land is tens of thousands of yuan. If one person is required to cultivate it for a year, he needs to pay at least 54,000 yuan in wages, and there is a huge risk of work-related injuries.

Would you like to invite migrant workers?

As long as you are not a fool, you will not hire migrant workers.

As for why government-run farms dare to set such a high salary standard, it is because of the large-scale production of large-scale machinery, and one employee can manage hundreds of acres of arable land.

Moreover, the Human Revolutionary Federation does not need to squeeze the labor force. High wages are conducive to improving the enthusiasm of employees, and can also achieve benefits for the people.

This also makes it difficult for private individual businesses to expand, because the wages are too low, which not only violates the law, but why don't employees work in government-run factories and government-run farms? If wages are at the same level as government-run enterprises, then profits will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, private individual merchants are mainly families such as husband-and-wife stores and father-son stores.

Few people will hire regular employees.

Now Zhao Mingcheng's family is caught in a dilemma. They can either go to the countryside to farm, or work in the city, or open a small shop.

Originally, Zhao Mingcheng wanted to apply for a teacher at Qingzhou Middle School, but the principal asked him to go to Qingzhou New School to rebuild it. After obtaining a new school diploma, he could submit his resume to the school after passing the ideological assessment.

Baiyulou did not swallow jujubes wholeheartedly. If these old literati were admitted into the education system and cultural system, it would cause endless harm.

Now the school teachers in the territory and the preaching officials from all over the country are composed of Baiyulou students, secretaries, crash courses in government affairs, and army veterans.

These people are all educated by new ideas, and many of them are either orphans or born in poverty.

Old literati are not trustworthy, they are all landlords, let them go to school to educate children, then what will they teach?

It's not the four books and five classics of Confucianism, what is the relationship between heaven and man, the principles of ethics, monarchs and ministers, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

Why since ancient times, the founding kings are majestic and majestic, and the civil servants are humbled, but the offspring are often easily fooled by the civil servants?

That is, the royal education was controlled by Confucian officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang is awesome!

But once he died, it was not for Wenchen to counterattack.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Bai Yulou had no intention of accepting the ideas of the old literati.

Even if Zhao Mingcheng is an archaeologist, he will not be included in the Department of Archeology.

Cultural fields such as archaeology, opera, poetry and poetry, painting, and sculpture do not seem to affect economics, politics, and military affairs.

In fact, the subtle influence of culture is very subtle and unpredictable.

Just like some bricklayers in later generations, they simply laughed off Bai Yulou's big teeth.

You may never believe to what extent a person can turn black and white, turn a deer into a horse, and deceive one's ears and steal the bell for his own benefit.

For example, the Yellow River floods every year, and the Nile River also floods. The former is a disaster, but the latter is a "gift from heaven".

Still flooding regularly?

And bring fertile soil?

And feed tens of millions of people?

Egypt in the 21st century has hundreds of millions of people, and its food self-sufficiency rate is only 20%.

You tell me that the Nile River Basin four or five thousand years ago could support tens of millions of people? I'm afraid it didn't use Zenith Star technology?

Tianzhu has the largest area of ​​plain arable land in the world. It is still hot and humid at the same time, and it can produce three crops a year. At the same time, there are only a few million people.

It can be seen that these academic elites will do everything in order to kneel and lick.

Bai Yulou despises these old literati, knowing the inferiority of these people, their existence can only exist as living beings, and these people must not be allowed to grasp the right to speak in culture.

Even if it is to improve traditional culture, Bai Yulou does not intend to use these people. Instead, it will focus on scholars with new ideas, and use materialism, scientific thinking, and Datong thinking as filters to critically inherit traditional culture.

Improve traditional culture with old literati?

This is no different from letting a cat take care of salted fish.

Even if Bai Yulou knew about the existence of Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, he didn't have any habit of collecting celebrities. Old literati are old literati, and many things cannot be changed.

The big ships of the new era have no place for the old literati.

They either take the initiative to adapt themselves to the Human Revolutionary Union, or completely wither in the turbulent tide of history.

Every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are unwilling.

This is the simple impression of the public, and it also reflects the reality that knowledge never represents morality, and even knowledgeable people are more insane when they do evil.
