Chapter 145: Commercial and Political Different Ways
Many people in the Ancient Chinese Society, including Li Zongren, have the main insights of most people, still in the distribution model of the Cold Weapon Age.
Centralization and strong man politics are also the benefits of this system, especially in this troubled world. Only by accumulating strength and concentrating all efforts by any means can the entire organization be more cohesive and survive in troubled times.
This is true for Yuan Shikai, Sun Yixian, and even Jiang Ruiyuan later must do so. Without treasures like smart factories, Zhong Yang would have to go on the same path, otherwise it would not be enough to accomplish anything.
In order to establish a regime in China, we must compromise with the great powers. Sun Yuan's struggle back then was not so much a dispute between the north and the south, but rather Yuan Shikai and Sun Yixian competed for their respective traitors in front of their Japanese masters. In the end, Yuan Shikai still failed to cross that bottom line, and was splashed with dirty water.
Sun Yixian sold thoroughly and was doing well, which is a great irony. Zhong Yang did not find it strange at all. A large number of Japanese students are filled with the Chinese elite, and it is not surprising that such a social public opinion orientation is soaring.
Moreover, the grudge between China and Japan was only in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and there was no hatred for the country's destruction. Except for a few patriots with vision, most intellectuals regarded Japan as their mentors, and even Sun Yixian himself, the headquarters of the ** Party Base Camp he established was also located in Japan.
It is a helpless fact that it is impossible for those who have become warlords to become stronger without selling their country.
Although the main casualties on the battlefield still rely on bayonets and hand-to-hand combat, in fact, weapons and equipment are the key bargaining chips that dominate the outcome. It is simply difficult to obtain sufficient guns and ammunition supplies in this ancient country with extremely backward industrial productivity.
The main arms demand was entirely relied on purchasing from the great powers, especially large-caliber artillery and shells, which were hard to find. Just like Sun Yixian's Northern Expedition Army this time, if it were not for the funding of commercial companies with Japanese military background and the planning of the Soviet Union, he would not have been able to form a decent army, let alone come to Guangdong to stir up trouble and expel Chen Jiongming.
In the so-called industrial era, what is needed is a more appropriate resource allocation model, that is, commercialization, relying on the liquidity of the commodity economy itself to stimulate the overall vitality of society.
This optimized resource allocation model was initially manifested as a liberal economy. Compared with the power political system, it is undoubtedly more suitable for the current level of productivity and is in line with the mainstream of the current era.
Politics belongs to power and tricks. Whether it is domineering or kingly, it is essentially a powerful political concept. It has intuitive predatory and ideological compulsiveness. Even if this approach is effective, Zhong Yang does not intend to adopt it.
With a smart factory, there is no need to do such a power-making task at all.
No matter how excellent the leader is, this system itself will suppress people's wisdom and livelihood. This suppression will lead to the inability to optimize the efficiency of productivity, and it is even difficult to barely pass, which will ultimately suppress the progress of science and technology.
At least the commercial society still gives everyone opportunities on the surface, but the political society obviously deprives the lower-ranking people of the right to advance. With the advancement of productivity and the popularization of education, many talented and ambitious people will continue to rise and impact on unreasonable social structures.
The upper-class subjects of the commercial society attach importance to economic interests and can effectively absorb new people to alleviate this conflict. However, it is difficult to do so. The "blood clan" or "ideological clan" established by the core group will instinctively exclude new people and even give superficial opportunities.
Moreover, when it comes to technology itself, the business system's desire for technology is deeper than that of the political system. Over time, the gap between productivity between the two sides will be difficult to narrow.
In Zhong Yang's view, the most critical issue lies in the difference between the rule of law and the rule of man.
The business model focuses on practical profits, and because of interests, it is more willing to implement the rule of law within the system to achieve the effect of mutual restraint and compromise. At least in terms of face, everyone must abide by the law.
But power politics is not the case. Compared with real profit, this system cares more about authority, which is commonly known as face. This is definitely not a brainless person, but the essence determines behavior. Because centralization itself is an unreasonable distribution model. Even if it was reasonable at the beginning, the second generation was basically extremely unreasonable at the beginning.
Because talented people are difficult to be promoted, they can only rely on the network of relationships if they want to stand at a high position. The most important point is that rule of man will eventually lead to the power class unscrupulously trampling on the law. No matter how many Bao Zheng is released, this situation cannot be changed.
This has nothing to do with human morality, and has to do with the essence of the system. The maintenance of authority will inevitably require oppression of the lower ones and cannot tolerate any resistance. Under the guidance of this idea, various ugly human nature will become difficult to restrain, or even a kind of indulgence.
Looking at China, where is this not the case?
If Zhong Yang becomes such a so-called hero, he will have unlimited natural scenery and rapid results. But it should be noted that it is impossible to stop after establishing such a system.
Because from the beginning, all the subordinates and relatives who follow you rely on this system to gain benefits. As the saying goes, public anger is difficult to offend, how can you change it? Either go with the flow, or die or die, and there is no other way.
No wonder the ancients said: You start with this, and you must end with this.
It is indeed a mature saying, and it should be wise.
As the president of the Ancient Chinese Society, Zhong Yang seems to have no real power, but actually owns a smart factory, so he is invincible. Why do you need to ask for those secular interests?
The military affairs are handled by the officers in the General Staff. The physical training and spiritual shaping of the army have structure and standards. With the way of distribution of commercial interests in the industrial era and the insights brought by knowledge education itself, Zhong Yang does not need to be afraid of such a situation in the military.
Because the daily needs of the army depend entirely on the Tianyu Group. In the era of cold weapons, capital may be obtained through oppression and looting. But in this society dominated by technology, can high-quality weapons and equipment be obtained through looting? Zhong Yang will never allow the Soviet Union to breed the redification model within the system.
Moreover, Zhong Yang has thousands of mechanical components that can be fought hard. Even if it is just the tip of the exposed iceberg, it is enough to shock the ill-hearted people and suppress the ambitions of Wang Liwen and Chen Ze.
In this case, why do you need to follow the emperor's way in the era of cold weapons? Does having a smart factory have no energy or ambition?
The human society in the industrial era does not need powerful politicians, nor does it need a great hero who saves the country and the people.
Our ancient country needs a reasonable distribution of interests and a large number of scientific workers. A researcher is enough to match twenty boring politicians.
In order to welcome the arrival of the golden age, the right way is to continuously improve productivity. Zhong Yang holds a smart factory in his hand, and he does not need to accumulate the so-called hearts of the people in the world, nor does he need a huge territory. He only needs resources and a certain population base.
These conditions are temporarily enough for Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. If there are too many, they will distract their energy and make the gains less than the loss. Since there are so many great heroes who save the country and the people, let them go to the history of celebrities, be respected by the people, and become the so-called heroes and the so-called saviors.
Zhong Yang prefers low-key development, constantly improving his own productivity system, and retaining the cultural core of Chinese civilization. Famous places and historical sites and precious antiques are just useless. What is truly precious are various ancient books and spiritual concepts, and even cultural activities that focus on spiritual enjoyment.
These are the necessities of the golden age. In this era of backward productivity, it is indeed a bit luxurious, but it does not mean that it should be abandoned.
Looking at China, no political group is doing such a thing. It is ironic that if you are determined to do it but you are often powerless to change the world.
It is precisely because of this that Zhong Yang is determined to be successful and is determined to retain the cultural spark of China.
Instead of saving the people of Liming who will never be saved, Zhong Yang prefers to stabilize the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi first. The goal of the first phase is to build a group of powerful and ambitious economic entities and industrialized production systems. What they need is not a certain person or organization, but a whole social system.
With the efforts of Chen Ze and Liu Haoran, Guangzhou already has this strength and has even continued to radiate to other regions in Guangdong, with its influence becoming increasingly powerful.
In this second stage, we basically support upstart warlords like Li Zongren. With the strength of our hands, we don’t have to worry about not being able to absorb these people.
The reason why Li Zongren came to the Binhai Military Region to visit the armored troops was to make him afraid and to understand that relying on the Tianyu Group would naturally lead the powerful troops and conquer the world, otherwise he would continue to go back to the remote mountainous area and stay in a strong position.
If he hadn't seen the wonderful life here, Li Zongren was certainly willing to choose to continue to lie dormant. However, after facing the new weapons in front of him, he could no longer bear the poor days of the past. For the ancient Chinese Society, he had no desire for Li Zongren, and even gave him opportunities.
If you don’t know how to cherish, there are many generals in the Guangxi clan who know how to cherish. Mo Rongxin alone can bring good returns. Li Zongren may be excellent and may have amazing talents, but for the ancient Chinese Society, they are just optional embellishments.
The reason why I don’t randomly support the new warlords is not because I am afraid, but just because I hate trouble. After all, mediocre people have a little bad, but because I can’t see the difference in strength clearly and always want to do some stupid things.
Zhong Yang said half of the words, and he did not explain them again, but more of a test. Those who have similar interests can naturally enter the core of the ancient Chinese Society. Otherwise, they can only serve in the peripheral organizations at most.
Li Zongren may understand, but he may not understand, but Zhong Yang didn't care at all.
He had no intention of impressing anyone, but just asked someone to choose. As long as this choice was beneficial to ancient Chinese, he would spare no effort to support him. On the contrary, it was a ruthless blow.
To this day, Zhong Yang no longer intends to continue to endure it, but his original intention of not participating in domestic political struggles has not changed at all.
When Li Zongren came over, he still wanted him to be the gatekeeper of Guangdong and Guangxi. Anyway, the people in the entire system were working hard to maintain their own interests and maintain the interests of the organization. As long as those Gui army soldiers joined this distribution model, they would not be able to incite them by officers alone.
Without tangible benefits, who is willing to follow you and die?
Chen Ze has obtained the establishment of the Fourth Route Army of the New Guangdong from Chen Jiongming and the provincial government. Faced with Sun Yixian's oppression, the other party had to compromise with Tianyu Group in exchange for support.
With Zhong Yang's approval, Chen Ze was not stingy and expressed his willingness to fully support Chen Jiongming in defending Guangdong and resisting the enemy outside the province.
A large number of standard rifles and corresponding bullet stocks were eliminated. Hundreds of 103mm caliber field guns and three base ammunition were even sold to the Guangdong army, and the provincial finance department was allowed to pay in part of the period.
This thing is of course nothing to Tianyu Group, but to Chen Jiongming, it is like a life-saving straw...
