Later one day, Lord Jiang Ming came here, inspected the work on the construction site, and learned about his situation.
After obtaining his consent, Lord Jiang Ming used him as a case to explain some knowledge to the people around him. Some of it he could understand, but some of it he could not.
To be honest, he was a little scared.
This is a big shot from Haigi Island!
It is said that his status is almost the same as that of the magistrates of the shogunate.
She actually knew about his past and asked for his opinion.
Moreover, these big shots actually allowed low-level workers like them to listen in on their conversations.
"What do you mean by lower or upper class? We are all human beings, why do we have to distinguish between high and low? Are those so-called noble adults born with good fortune and noble birth? That doesn't make sense. I say, old comrade, your idea is very bad, you have to change it."
This is how Lord Jiang Ming explained to the bigwigs who accompanied him, as well as himself, a small carpenter, and the bricklayers, laborers and other workers on the construction site.
"There is a distinction between superiors and subordinates in positions in order to provide better command and better collaboration so as to complete production work. However, there is no such thing as high or low in terms of status."
The bigwigs accompanying Lord Jiang Ming seemed to agree with this idea and they nodded frequently.
What the carpenter didn't know was that those were actually researchers from the Marine Science Institute, not big shots.
Whether in the Fontaine Academy of Sciences or in the Congregation of the Church, equality is a kind of rightness that people desire and pursue.
So they agreed with this statement very much.
But for these workers, it is a different experience.
They are all Inazuma people.
The sense of hierarchy is almost ingrained in our bones.
The famous and prominent families are born with good fortune and are superior to them.
The idea of equality has a huge impact on them.
But, there is no distinction between high and low, which sounds good too, right?
Without him realizing it, a seed quietly sprouted in his heart.
"... I'm telling you guys, you can't just focus on your own natural science research and turn a deaf ear to what's happening outside. Look at this old carpenter."
Lord Jiang Ming brought the topic back to him.
He was deeply impressed by this conversation and remembered it clearly.
"You have heard his story. Why is his boss so confident? Because there are too many available workers. There are people like him everywhere who have neither land nor jobs. We call them unemployed people. Supply exceeds demand, so his boss can lower the price.
Often, people like his boss, and those at a higher level than his boss, will intentionally create unemployed people so that they can take the initiative in the market.”
“Then why did his boss also go bankrupt later?”
I took the course on scholars of the causal theory and felt that this topic was relevant to my major.
“There is a price to pay for anything, and his boss’s low level was one of the prices paid.
To explain in more detail, creating an appropriate number of unemployed people will help people like his boss take the initiative, but an excessive number of unemployed people and excessively low labor remuneration will lead to a decline in social stability and insufficient consumption capacity.
The big guys in the monopoly are fearless, but petty bourgeoisie like his boss naturally can’t stand it.”
"What does bourgeois mean? Are there petty bourgeois, middle bourgeois, or big bourgeois?"
"Of course there are. The so-called bourgeoisie actually refers to..."
He didn't listen to the long passage that followed.
All he was thinking about was what Lord Jiang Ming had just mentioned.
manufacture!
Creating unemployed people!
cost!
So, his miserable situation was man-made?
Is he just a price?
Is it a price deliberately created by someone?
Those who are like him, are they too?
He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that time.
Some things that he had been thinking about for a long time but couldn't figure out suddenly became clear at this moment.
[These people deserve to die! ]
When he came back to his senses, he only heard Jiang Ming's last words:
"…It is entirely possible to resolve the issue in a harmonious way, without such a fierce confrontation. However, it is impossible to do so with the current rule of the shogunate. If we want to do so, we must first eliminate the exploiting class."
He didn’t know what the so-called “harmonious method” was, nor did he know what problems the “harmonious method” could solve, but he heard that “the exploiting class must be eliminated first.”
This cannot be done with the current rule of the shogunate.
So what would it mean if the shogunate attacked and ruled him again?
It means that he will become the price again and start living a life of hunger again.
[I can’t go back to the shogunate! ]
At this moment, this thought was in the minds of countless workers.
[The direction of the war is in the hands of each of us! 】
That night, the cook in charge of meals suddenly discovered that even those hooligans could eat fish today?
It’s bad. What should I do if I don’t prepare enough fish?
Chapter 37 Talking about Cooperation
“…Creating an appropriate number of unemployed people will help merchants and others take the initiative in the market, which will help lower labor remuneration and obtain more surplus labor value. However, it should be noted that excessive unemployment and too low labor remuneration will lead to social instability and insufficient consumption capacity.”
Inside the Jade Pavilion in Liyue.
Ningguang, the Tianquan Star, the leader of the Seven Stars of Liyue, slowly exhaled a long breath and gently put down the book in his hand.
This was a gift that Beidou gave to her on behalf of a high-ranking official on Kaigi Island after he came back from Inazuma some time ago.
This gift is very good.
Now, she understood why, even though the living conditions of the lower class people in Liyue had been improved, more and more people were sliding towards the lower class.
As shown in the book, this is a means of controlling the initiative in the market.
Originally, I was worried that these people were not in good condition and would cause trouble, alarm the Emperor, or create an indecent scene.
That means we still have to worry about the issue of social stability.
After she improved the living conditions of the lower class, especially increased the protection of the unemployed, the stability of Liyue society increased, and the other party began to take further action.
That's it!
The phenomenon is here and has always been there. Liyue's merchants may have done this unconsciously more than once, but this is the first time someone has systematically listed and explained these issues clearly.
And that’s not all.
It also includes knowledge of markets, currencies, and, what she urgently needs recently, some systematic knowledge of banking.
It’s not that many things didn’t exist before, nor that she had never come into contact with or used them before, but that she had always relied on experience, and it was not until this moment that someone summarized them into systematic knowledge.
Many vague and confusing things have now become clear.
The author of this book is truly a genius!
Ningguang closed the book and looked at the author on the cover.
Maan.
Translated by Jiang Ming.
However, the materials in this book still seem a bit elementary, and many things are just mentioned briefly without detailed explanation.
Even so, she can be said to have benefited greatly.
I think the more advanced ones should be in the hands of those people in the Coral Palace.
Thinking of this, Ningguang felt a little surprised despite having a headache.
Beidou is a guy who always brings surprises and shocks at the same time.
Really are……
After Beidou reported the strange situation in Inazuma, Ningguang immediately reacted. It looked like a resistance army and a civil war in Inazuma, but in fact, it was more like an internal struggle within the shogunate.
The Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo are one branch, and the Shrine Bugyo and Narujin Taisha are one branch.
So far, it seems that both sides are still playing to their tacit understanding.
The fighting was nothing more than a political struggle within the shogunate.
Although I don’t know why the god of Inazuma just sat there and watched, it is indeed the fact.
These Inazuma people are really playing big.
As an excellent businessman, Ningguang did not want to interfere prematurely.
Liyue only wants a peaceful and stable Inazuma and its market. As for who is in power, that is Inazuma's business, and Liyue doesn't care.
Therefore, Beidou has a good relationship with both sides, but he prefers the shrine magistrate and Narukami Taisha faction and is willing to do some extra work for them.
Because Kamisato Ayato and Yae Kamiko promised to lift the isolation order and resume foreign trade.
But their faction is too weak and the situation remains unclear.
She had originally planned to wait until the right time to place her bet, and help whoever won, which was the safest way. However, Beidou directly brought the people from Haiqi Island into Liyue Harbor.
I didn't ask you to openly intervene in Inazuma's situation so early!
The shogunate is in internal strife, why are you taking sides so early?
Ningguang was too tired to complain.
In response to this, Beidou explained: I have a general understanding of Inazuma's situation. Those people of Tenryo Bugyo are really not capable, so the only ones we can count on are the Kamizato family.
Ningguang still had some complaints about this, thinking that she shouldn't have placed the bet too early, and Beidou even complained about it, saying, "You're fussy and not straightforward at all."
...It is not you, Beidou, who has to convince the other seven stars and coordinate the forces of all parties in Liyue.
However, that was before.
Now, after realizing that there is an expert behind the other party and that he holds huge potential wealth, he has to change.
Combined with Tianling Fengxing, who is looked down upon even by Beidou.
Ningguang doesn't think that the Shefeng system will lose at this moment.
Now the Seven Stars are still not unified in their opinions, and the Eight Gates cannot act on their own. The people from Haiqi Island can only be temporarily accommodated in a private inn.
This made it easier for Ningguang to take action first.
"It seems that I must meet them."
We have to find a way to take control of this invisible wealth.
If you want to take it, you must first give it.
A gleam of light flashed in Ningguang's eyes.
Since the people from those big families are so aggressive, it might be an option to intervene with external forces to put pressure on them.
Liyue cannot have people like she did when she was a child, hawking goods barefoot and suffering from hunger and cold.
She dared to say this, and she must and will do it.
Just because she is Tianquan Ningguang.
