Qiming 1158

Chapter 1198 Uprising is inevitable
The unfortunate event of a caravan is often the downfall of an entire small business group. The downfall of a small business group means that the livelihood of dozens or even hundreds of people is a problem.

If you can't do business, you can only go back to agriculture to make a living.

Those who have land at home are lucky enough to be able to go home to do farm work and have food to eat. The family will not watch their blood relatives starve to death. If one person squeezes out a mouthful of food for him to eat, the person will survive and the problem will be delayed. resolved after.

But things are often not that simple.

In these years, the land is relocated, and who doesn't want to be able to do farm work at home?

Those who can work in the city to make a living are often out of land at home, and the land at home is taken away by powerful landlords by various means. .

This day is also tight, and the family lives with care, breaking a penny into two and spending it in half, saving a little is a little, and it is not easy to save a little money.

When the market is stable, it doesn’t mean that you can’t eat. Occasionally, when the benefits are good, you meet a host with a little conscience, and if you can reward some money, then you can eat something good.

However, once the market fluctuates, the problem will be big. If there is no work, there will be no income, and there will be problems with eating.

If there are few people in the family, it can be carried for a while. If there are many people in the family, it will be terrible. If there are a few more long-term children in the family, it will be even more fatal.

These days, there is no concept of subsistence allowances, and there is no unemployment insurance fund. There are no national welfare benefits. It is said that there are various relief facilities.

To put it simply, that is, if something happens, you have to carry it yourself, and the people above will not care about the life and death of the people below.

With the passage of time, the number of unemployed people in Chengdu has increased, and more and more people are looking for things to do on the street, but there are fewer and fewer things to do on the market, and more and more businesses and large families are recruiting. less.

More and more people are walking aimlessly on the street, paralyzed on both sides of the street, their eyes are full of inescapable melancholy, they don't know how to go tomorrow, and they don't know where the next meal will be. somewhere you can get it.

However, the emergence of this first batch of unemployed people is only the beginning.

As the news of the Ming and Jiangnan countries' complete economic blockade of Chuan and Shu gradually spread, the internal market of Chuan and Shu was severely impacted.

Being blocked by the economy also means that no income can be obtained from the outside. All business activities can only be circulated internally, and business activities can only be carried out from the inside. After all, the internal business digestion capacity is limited, and commodities are produced to be consumed.

Without economic circulation and external markets, the false economic prosperity without the support of actual productivity and consumption power was instantly brought back to its original shape.

The first unlucky industry is the most prosperous and most dependent on the external market, the silk weaving industry. An economic blockade directly killed [-]% of the silk weaving industry. A large number of employees are unemployed or are about to lose their jobs. Even some small business owners are facing difficulties. Bankruptcy danger.

Then there are the small businesses in the city that do business with the industrial and commercial population, small restaurants, street stalls and the like.

What they are doing is the business of the urban bourgeoisie, and the huge industrial and commercial population has lost their jobs and has no money to take care of their business, and their business will not continue.

As the news of the economic blockade spreads further, more and more merchants are afraid that their business cannot continue. In order not to lose money, they can only take the initiative to dismiss the clerk, close the storefront, and stop operating.

Another group of unemployed people appeared.

More and more people are unemployed in cities and towns, and more and more people have no livelihood. They can only compete with each other for the meager job opportunities, and they are desperately invoking each other, trying to squeeze others out.

Despite this, opportunities are still getting fewer and fewer, and more and more people are unable to eat.

As a result, Sichuan and Shu society began to show signs of instability.

Su Yonglin had long expected this kind of situation.

The blow to the commodity economy of Sichuan and Shu will bring about drastic changes in the society of Sichuan and Shu. In the short term, it will lead to the resistance of the urban industrial and commercial workers, that is, the earliest proletariat. In the long run, it will inevitably lead to a peasant uprising in Sichuan and Shu.

After the collapse of the commodity economy, the Chengdu court, which was unable to obtain sufficient funds, must extend its hands to the land, and they did not have the ability to attack the rich and powerful, so they could only bully the peasants.

Will the peasants lie flat and allow their exploitation and oppression?

An uprising is inevitable.

And this is the result he wants. He wants to reproduce in Sichuan and Shu the success of Zhao Yucheng in Jiangxi.

What is the biggest advantage of Ming Dynasty?
Is it the army?

No, it is a brand-new ideological and theoretical system capable of destroying the operating rules of the entire feudal society, and it is an ideological weapon that can bury this outdated world.

With this set of theory and this ideological weapon, where the people are, the organization is there, and the struggle is where the organization is.

Just like what happened in Jiangxi back then, although the Ming Dynasty could not directly send troops to intervene, they could do things that the Chengdu court did not expect.

While launching the economic blockade against the Chengdu court, Su Yonglin started to organize the Sichuan-Shu branch of the Renaissance Society. He personally selected talents and planned to arrange some political cadres, military cadres and economic cadres for this branch.

Then the big guys will focus on learning the specific situation of Chuan and Shu together, and understand the society of Chuan and Shu. When Chuan and Shu contact the local Skynet Army spies and inspect it, they will be able to quickly form combat power, establish a combat force, establish a base, and start grow and develop.

Everything else is easy to arrange. There are a lot of mature political and economic cadres within the Renaissance Society, all of whom have several years of work experience.

However, when inspecting the military cadres, Su Yonglin suddenly remembered a person.

"Where is Xu Tong, deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangxi Branch, where is he now? What specific work is he doing?"

That's right, Su Yonglin thought of that excellent and bold young man, Xu Tong.

To say what was the biggest gain from Zhao Yucheng's actions on Jiangnan West Road, then it was naturally a Jiangxi Province plus a Jiangxi Corps.

To say what the second big gain is, it is naturally the experience and promotion of talents.

Among them, the most outstanding and dazzling is Xu Tong, who is currently the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangxi Branch of the Renaissance and the general of the Yiyong Army under the Jiangxi Corps.

After the Jiangxi Province was established, the Jiangxi Corps also carried out a reorganization and reorganization. With the original peasant army as the basic backbone, supplemented by high-quality soldiers obtained from re-conscription, it was reorganized into the Jiangxi Corps.

The Jiangxi Corps, like the other major corps, has a full staff of 10 people. It is composed of three reorganized armies and a cavalry unit directly under the corps.

The three reorganized armies were reorganized from the original four divisions of the peasant army, namely Weiyuan Army, Yiyong Army and Wuwei Army. Among them, Xu Tong's army was mainly reorganized into Yiyong Army, and he was also appointed as Yiyong Army because of his excellent record. Yong Jun is the general, and also serves as the deputy director of the military affairs department of the Jiangxi branch.

When Su Yonglin thought of sending people to Sichuan and Shu to do things, he immediately thought of Xu Tong, a little expert in doing things.
