Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 373 Institutional Initiative and Thought Enthusiasm

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Yunfu's participation in the celebration of the fourth anniversary of the resumption of Guangzhou's shipping department will definitely be recorded in the history of later generations.

Its significance is even greater than the replacement of a dynasty.

As for why it is so important, two things have to be mentioned.

Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism.

These two things are of the same nature.

The Qin Dynasty was a Legalist, so the first emperor burned the books of the Legalists and killed the students of the Legalists, in essence, to stabilize the ruling position and solidify the ideology of the ruling class.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucian scholars, and he took a fancy to Dong Zhongshu's theory of the unity of man and nature.

In other words, the actions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were also burning non-Confucian books and killing non-Confucian students.

The core of doing so is also to stabilize the ruling position and solidify the ideology of the ruling class.

The Qin Dynasty shouted long live Legalism, and the Han Dynasty shouted long live Confucianism, which is essentially the same as unscrupulous profiteers shouting long live capitalism.

Everyone is trying to bind people's hearts and minds.

The idea that has been solidified for 2000 years is that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are the class order that has been completely recognized by the secular world. Under such circumstances, Chen Yunfu's participation in the Guangzhou Shipping Department celebration is equivalent to breaking the four classes. barriers and prejudices.

From solidifying class ideology to co-existing class ideology, this is enough to be called an important milestone in the history of China's development.

Therefore, the Guangzhou merchants rejoiced.

Wine, very enjoyable.

Chen Yunfu condescended, no matter who came to toast, he would give him a drink, which made the businessmen present even more excited.

You can eat and drink, so you can't delay the business.

Chen Yunfu gave such a big face to the business community in Guangzhou, how could he not want something in return.

If so, he is not a politician but a philanthropist.

"There is a major event to be done in the court this year. What is the major event, I guess you are well-informed, and you already know it by now."

After drinking the wine for a while, the atmosphere became more and more warm. Chen Yunfu opened his mouth and suppressed the noise of the audience.

"Next month, the imperial court will mobilize troops and fight a big battle. Money is needed to fight a war, but the country is full of places where money is used now. How can we raise money? Benfu thought of a way to set up a bank."

Regarding what a bank is, Chen Yunfu gave an explanation, and then said: "After the central bank was established, the first local branch was selected in Guangdong.

The imperial court plans to issue a treasury bond in Guangdong to support this foreign war. The specific amount is not yet known. After the establishment of the Guangdong Bank, I hope that all of you here will support and subscribe for a batch.

After the war is won, the imperial court will repay you in full according to the interest on the national debt. "

Allowing capital to support wars and endowing capital with aggression will not only enable the country to obtain a large amount of sufficient military expenditures in foreign wars, but as the capital side tastes the sweetness of external expansion, it will in turn attack the already ossified domestic The living space of the old bureaucratic class of the gentry.

Capital will definitely defeat the gentry, because the production mode of the era must evolve forward.

The policy of closing the door to the outside world was not just the ignorance of the late Qing government, but the crumbling dominance caused by the conflict between the imperial power and the mode of production in modern society. The late Qing government had to do everything possible to stabilize the imperial power.

Restricting the entry of capital into modern China and helping the completely decayed and backward gentry class continue to survive in the local area is to continue the life of the feudal dynasty.

Although the price was very heavy and modern China was reduced to a semi-colony, its purpose was still successful.

They succeeded in prolonging their lives for decades, and put out the Taiping Rebellion and Boxer Rebellion that seemed to sweep the world.

The local gentry class united with the late Qing government and contributed all their strength to suppress all rebel parties against the late Qing government.

Different era backgrounds require different policy programs.

If Chen Yunfu usurps power to seek the country and wants to establish a Chen family dynasty, then his descendants, the successor emperors of the Chen family dynasty, will inevitably follow this old path again.

It is inevitable to restrict thinking and stabilize imperial power.

And now Chen Yunfu can't start the Chen family dynasty, because Lan Yu and the others disagree.

Therefore, the dictatorship and dictatorship will be changed back to the feudal system, but this enfeoffment cannot be divided internally, and the whole China will be divided into pieces. If this is done, Chen Yunfu will become a sinner of the nation and the country, and will be nailed to the shame of history Thousands or even tens of thousands of years on the pillar.

Internal enfeoffment is absolutely impossible, so it can only be enfeoffed externally, and external enfeoffment will inevitably require external expansion wars to gain living land.

To put it bluntly, it is aggression!
Aggression requires two important factor components.

Institutional initiative and ideological enthusiasm.

The external feudal system established by Chen Yunfu is a system, and the initiative of this system has been shown in the previous article.

The Chang family will risk their life and death for this war, and a large number of literati, students, soldiers and even traders who want to get ahead in Liaozhou in the future will flock to it. This is institutional initiative.

As for ideology, China does not have it now, because there are only two kinds of ideology in Nuoda a country. The first is the feudal dictatorship ideology based on imperial power and supplemented by the ruling class.

The second is the idea of ​​local protection with the bureaucracy as the mainstay and the gentry class as the supplement.

The former pursues stability, while the latter pursues stability even more.

The enthusiasm of these two ideas lies in the pursuit of stability, not the pursuit of expansion, so they have conflicts and conflicts with the previous institutional initiative. In this case, Chen Yunfu thought of capital.

Capital is more aggressive and greedy.

Using interests as the crude oil to drive the expansion of the national system and machinery realizes the unity of institutional initiative and ideological enthusiasm.

And the concrete manifestation of this ideological enthusiasm is in the bank's national debt that Chen Yunfu just mentioned.

"I, the Chen family, will subscribe for 200 million national bonds."

Chen Xi was the first to make a sound. He is an old man, and he is very clear about the reason why Chen Yunfu came this time. Since Chen Yunfu gave them face as a businessman, then their businessmen must give Chen Yunfu back some face!
"Our Li family, 150 million taels."

"The Zhang family, 180 million taels."

"."

Amidst the voices rising and falling, the father who was terrified before also shouted out an astronomical figure at this moment.

One million taels!
This is already all of his family savings, and it is a fortune that can only be obtained by selling off the property, and it is all invested at this moment.

Is it because he supports Chen Yunfu a lot, is it because he is very confident in the upcoming issuance of war bonds, of course not.

He was saving his son's life.

A smile gradually appeared on Chen Yunfu's face, especially when Hu Sizong took out the final summed up numbers, the smile was so brilliant.

A total of 790 million taels!

Now silver!
The three major campaigns of Wanli were added together, and it took more than ten years to fight before and after, and only used more than 300 million taels, so there were victories and defeats, and it was delayed for many years.

Now in a war against North Korea, Chen Yunfu raised nearly 3000 million taels of military expenses for Chang Mao.

Can't win?
There is no need to keep the Chang family, Liaozhou, let others.

Chen Yunfu didn't say anything, got up and led Chen Jinghe away amidst the sound of sending off.

"see it."

"father?"

"I'll teach you how to make good use of Changmao Sapphire, Yang Shiqi and Hu Sizong, and businessmen like Guangzhou."

Chen Jinghe nodded silently. The three mentioned by his father corresponded to gun barrels, official hats, and money bags!

"The world and the earth have the same power at all times. You don't need to be full of knowledge and bravery to win the three armies. As long as you can use your strength, you can rule the world and let everyone dedicate everything to your great cause. In the end, they will regard you as a god, You are sent to the throne of the Lord of the Kyushu."

Chen Yunfu got into the car, and took a last look at the still brightly lit and bustling restaurant.

"Let's go, we can go back to Beijing."
