Chapter 300 The New Society
.Chapter 300 New Society
In May 1929, the warm sunshine was pouring on the land in the south. The trauma brought by war was healing, and calmness and busyness once again became the main axis of people's life.
The Chinese people of this era always have amazing psychological qualities, or such sighs of satisfaction and patience.
The midsummer weather and the fiery sunshine swept away the crystal dewdrops in the morning and dominated the Guangdong and Guangxi provinces until after dusk. Such heavy and dull people are indeed very uncomfortable. This is the climate in Guangdong and Guangxi, which is both enviable and helpless.
Under this oppression, people are lazy and seem to have lost their active vitality, especially in the afternoon, which is even more terrible; the small stones lying on the road make diligent sounds and the scorching heat in the soles of their feet.
At this time, in a small garden outside the suburbs, the Phalaenopsis with its head hanging down and the intoxicated little roses all showed a burnout for the scary light and heat. Only the gold and silver vines hidden deep in the leaves were blooming very lushly.
A beautiful woman with a beautiful face, shuttled through the suffocation of summer, slowly blew the thick fragrance of medicine into the door open to the yard.
"Madam, the head of the family has returned and is on the way here." A young and beautiful maid, wearing a delicate pleated skirt, said in a soft voice on Zhang Yinyin and her previous luggage.
"Is that true?" In the originally calm and quiet starry eyes, autumn waves flowed, and a glimmer of expectation and joy appeared. When she learned that Zhong Yang was coming, she hurriedly got up to clean up and dress up, and asked the servant to prepare for the welcome.
Women are to please themselves. Smart women always know how to manage their emotions carefully and give them. If you just ask for it, it will be boring sooner or later, but if you don’t know how to fight for it, it will actually be boring.
"Yinyin."
After a while, Zhong Yang came to the yard, hugged his wife's slender waist, and had a close attitude. Seeing this, the servants were also tactful and did not dare to disturb him. They all stood up and left, standing far away, waiting for the summons.
The garden is not spacious, but it is based on a small and exquisite style. A clearing is opened at the back of the farm. There are fountains, flower beds, wooden chairs and swings. Every summer and spring, the yard is full of flowers, competing for beauty, making people happy.
"Yang, what's going on outside now? There are so many controversies about price controls and quota consumption. Is it really a big financial problem because of the war?"
Zhong Yang's coat has been replaced, now he is wearing a dry silk green robe, with a smile on his eyes, looking at his wife's worried look, and chuckled, "Why, is it the father-in-law who came to ask you?"
Zhong Yang is not the head of the government, and the property in his hands is owned by his private owner, so he is not shy away from his wife's questions. There is no rule that women are not allowed to interfere in politics at home. Many times, Zhong Yang often discusses some things with his wife.
"It's not all. My brother has indeed come to me, and my father probably has this meaning. But as my wife, I am naturally worried. Is there really something wrong with Hualian's finances?" After getting married, Zhang Yinyin naturally knew that she should stand on her husband's side. Although she asked, she might not have told her everything back to her parents' home. She still has this measure.
"My father-in-law should have attended the International Economic and Economic Union Conference last month. In fact, price control and quota consumption are imperative. Now that it is revealed, it is just to let the public know first, so that they can be mentally prepared."
The couple snuggled up together, sat on a wooden chair, whispering these words. The servants were waiting far away, and unless they were shouting loudly, they could not hear the words here.
"The whole thing has nothing to do with the government's finances. The huge deficit does exist, but the main problem is the adjustment of the planned economic structure. Our initial idea is to reverse the economic operation model dominated by market supply and demand and turn it into planned production quota sales."
Zhang Yinyin doesn’t understand the knowledge of economics very much, but she also understands the truth a little bit: “Is that really like what the radio notice says, you have to rely on bills to buy goods in the future?”
This kind of thing has never happened in the history of Hualian. And it is very different from the mainstream economic model in the West. If it weren't for knowing that Zhong Yang has always been strongly opposed to the red transformation, Zhang Yinyin would have thought Zhong Yang was building a sacred and immortal society with the Red Gate.
"Yes, free market transactions will inevitably be gradually abolished, and the entire society implements relatively strict product rationing. However, this is not a shortage of materials. On the contrary, our materials and wealth are relatively abundant."
"Then why should we limit the supply of materials? A while ago, some newspapers also raised the importance of a free market, which mentioned the view that violating the market's survival rules will inevitably lead to rigidity in the production system."
In the academic field, Hualian maintains an open policy, and many arguments can be reported regardless of whether the government's reputation is good or bad. Constitutionally, this freedom of speech is also protected and written in plain text.
Faced with his wife's doubts, Zhong Yang had to express his thoughts: "The core purpose of the free market economy theory is to let the market decide which companies can survive and grow and which ones can only decline and disappear. But there is a process, that is, in the early stages, the market supply is less than demand, which means that the products will inevitably bring profits."
Seeing his wife listening carefully, Zhong Yang also said: "In the past five years, several large groups of Hualian have led a large number of enterprises to produce products and put them into the market, making happy profits. But the problem follows, that is, the issue of expanding production and market saturation. To this day, the profits brought by the early supply shortage have come to an end."
"And the main problem is that many of the products we develop are not suitable for putting them into the market. For example, electronic components with superior performance or even the first generation of finished computers, we spent a lot of resources to research such products, but we had to block the channels for such products to enter the market because of political considerations."
"Are you saying that the computers we use at home are also restricted products that are not allowed to be put on the market?" Although I have never used them much, Zhang Yinyin, the hostess, is still very familiar with some strange home appliances at home.
"Yes, the early days of the major products used to create wealth are actually enough to maintain the needs of the next research. If the market economy continues to be implemented, the only result will be the dispersion of power in the field of technology research and development. For Hualian, this is not worth the loss."
"Okay, I've answered your question, let's have a good lunch next."
"Yes, my Majesty Wang" hugged Zhong Yang's arms, Zhang Yinyin teased, her face full of the sweetness of happiness.
There are many things that Zhong Yang did not explain to others in detail. It was not because he was afraid of leaking the secrets, but because he knew that he could not understand them even if he said it. These are the overall situation involving the overall concept of human civilization and cannot be explained clearly with a simple explanation. Before the result is released, saying it will easily lead to confusion and hesitation.
In fact, later history books and academic circles have made quite a description of human civilization, and in the details, they are full of flowers and all-encompassing.
But in Zhong Yang's view, many of them are actually smoke bombs, or considering the attitude of those in power, they did not go into too much at some key nodes, and they did not dare to go into it in depth.
For example, the two economic concepts of capitalism and planningism from the Western academic community have been debated for a long time and have become an inevitable choice for the idea of governing the country. There is no other way.
The real essence is nothing more than a difference in resource allocation ratio and allocation method. The resource allocation ratio is how much value you create and how much profit you can get from these values.
The distribution method refers to what is used as a benchmark in the distribution field of the entire society. This benchmark is usually manifested as currency in the mainstream Western economic system, which means that money has become the ultimate standard for allocating resources, and the higher ones will get it.
Under the guidance of Makhe, the Soviet Union replaced currency with privileges under the leadership of LeTiao, which became the fundamental rule for social resource allocation. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy the products you want in the market. This method is completely different from Western Europe and North America where the chaebol dominates.
The so-called capitalist free market economy has two main subjects, namely bosses and employees. All production and consumption activities, as well as the operating mode of the entire social economy, are carried out around these two groups.
The boss runs a business, recruits employees, and uses the income from the income to expand production and conducts technical research and development respectively. Of course, the income from the income here is the deduction of the wages required to be paid.
Employees, in accordance with the boss's requirements, carry out production work, create value, and receive salary. Makhaha calls this behavior an exploited. From the perspective of employees, it is natural that this is true.
But from the boss's perspective, it is unrealistic to say this. If you really want to use words that are not as touching, you must use the word "distribution".
Employees create value, but the rewards assigned to them will never be equal to the value they create. This seemingly unfair distribution system is actually very in line with the actual needs.
From the perspective of society, employees and bosses are both consumer groups in the market, and everyone is also a supplier to the market. As for a few exceptions, they are not within the scope of consideration. No matter in that era, there are always people who do not need to create value to survive.
In the era where Zhong Yang lived, some people believed that by increasing employee wages a large amount could revitalize a regional market, activate the economic cycle, and create a vibrant free market.
But this method, let alone whether the bosses are willing or not, is the feasibility.
The value created is limited. As a boss in the free market, he will definitely maximize the pursuit of profits and maximize the reduction of employees' income in distribution behavior.
Because capital needs to be accumulated, more income can be used to expand production scale and research and development of process technology. If the proportion of income obtained by employees increases, it means that the boss's income is reduced, and it also means that the factory's possible capital investment is reduced.
By doing this, high wages will lead to market activity, but factories are weak and new technologies are developing slower and slower. As a result, they lose their advantages in the continuous market competition.
As for the increase in the distribution ratio, it increases employees' income and activates market consumption capacity. Or it stimulates employees' creative passion and greatly increases enthusiasm, these are all assumptions, and they also depend on actual results.
From the overall perspective of civilization, employees will not voluntarily take out the money they have and invest in the development of the technical field. Even if there are such exceptions, it does not make much sense in the face of the overall trend.
The boss will definitely be willing to invest additionally, expand production and develop new technologies, because this involves his fundamental interests. Even if a brainless businessman uses all the income to enjoy consumption, the market will automatically eliminate such incompetent people. The remaining people will continue to push technology forward and civilization is also growing explosively.
This is the development path of capitalism, which is very effective, but the problem is also very big.
First of all, the boss lowers the allocation quota of employees, which will inevitably lead to consumption fatigue, blindly expanding production, and will inevitably lead to overcapacity. In the free economic system, an economic crisis was born like this and belongs to an unsolvable knot. No matter what economist, no matter how many human epochs are spent, he is powerless in the face of an economic crisis.
Because the boss's mentality and the rules followed by the economy determine that such things will inevitably happen. If you do not change such a structure, you will change the soup or the medicine. At most, you can only play a role in delaying and easing. What should come will always come.
Secondly, that is, the choice of the market. The so-called choice of the market is actually the consumption trend of people. This trend determines the supply and demand relationship of products and also determines the life and death of enterprises in the economic field.
If the product meets the needs, it will naturally be easy to sell, so it will have profits, and then distribution, additional investment, expansion of production, and the emergence of new products. But the question is, is this really right? Is market demand, human needs, and the continued development of civilization?
Sometimes, most people’s choices are right, but most of the time, only a few people have the right choices.
To give a simple example, the cost-effectiveness of heavy industry is lower than that of light industry and civilian commodities. For example, the arms industry is a typical example. The development of the arms industry is actually a loss of money.
Although arms merchants make a lot of money, they are actually the whole society paying for it, and it will also lead to a series of industrial barriers that block the pace of latecomers.
Just like the United States during this period of time, or a hundred years later, why has the research on free energy not made breakthrough progress? Because the chaebol needs to use fossil fuels such as oil to control the world, plunder wealth, and support their own careers.
In the field of market economy, what determines the direction of technology research and development is not whether it is useful for human development, but whether this technology can bring wealth to the boss.
The social system that Zhong Yang wanted to establish was not a free market economic system without moral constraints in the West. If everything was based on economic interests, it would definitely bring about some serious social problems, and the development of natural ecology would also be a terrible disaster.
In the eyes of capital merchants, they will not worry about the disasters that ecological damage will lead to. They will only pay attention to how much deposits there are in their own wallets. The nature of infinite greed determines their code of action. As long as they have heart-warming interests, nothing can be done.
The setting of permission value in the smart factory inspired Zhong Yang and showed him a way forward. That's right, the permission value is actually similar to the supply tickets in the planned economy. Having money just means you have the ability to buy, but it does not mean you are qualified to buy.
After the Industrial and Economic Union and Hualian enterprises have completed industrial integration, the market introduction of authority values will surely begin. At that time, people's work will not only receive salary, but also authority values. According to the different contributions of their respective work to the entire society, the corresponding authority standards will be set.
In order to establish this consumption mechanism that is much more complex than the monetary system, Zhong Yang has established a special institution "Man Temple", and has jointly participated by multiple parties to formulate and improve rules. In the ancient Chinese Association, Jie Minghong is responsible for this matter, and he is the highest person in charge of the "Man Temple" "Star Master".
Not only does it have the function of public opinion supervision, but it also has the setting and improvement of authority values. The International Economic Union and government departments will definitely send corresponding members to join the human temple and make their own voices about the establishment and operation of the entire system.
The setting of permission values is very complicated, but the purpose is very simple. Anything that is beneficial to the overall development of civilization is the right number, and vice versa. Once the permission value is cleared and cannot be restored to the positive number state within the specified time, it means that the citizenship of Hualian has been disqualified.
This kind of punishment is quite serious. Those who are disqualified will be marginalized by the main society of the entire Hualian. Many citizens' rights and interests cannot be protected and can only live at the bottom of the entire society until you return the authority value to a positive number again. However, after marginalization, this is a very difficult thing.
The setting of authority values is to balance the distribution relationship between bosses and employees, and it is also to plan corporate competition within the entire market. If the market itself is allowed to eliminate freely, regardless of whether it is correct, waste of resources is definitely inevitable. And it is not a good thing for the overall social atmosphere.
Until now, it was Zhong Yang who truly began to revive the future of Chinese civilization as he thought in his heart. Only by resolving the contradiction between the market economy and the planned economy can he better leave a suitable spiritual soil for the ancient inheritance of China.
This will also be a brand new form of human society...
