Behind the misfortune of a caravan is often the downfall of an entire small business group. The collapse of a small business group means that the livelihood of dozens or even hundreds of people has become a problem.
If we can no longer do business, we can only return to agriculture to earn a living.
The family is lucky to have land. They can still 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 can be postponed. .
But things are often not that simple.
These days, who wouldn’t want to move back home and do farm work at home?
Those who can work in the city to make a living often have no land at home. The land at home has been taken away by powerful landlords through various means. In desperation, they can only drag their families and their families to work in the city to earn some money for food. .
Life was tight these days, and the family lived cautiously, breaking every penny in half and spending whatever they could. It was not easy to save a little bit of money.
When the market is stable, it's not hard to eat. Occasionally when the profits are good, you meet a conscientious owner who can reward you with some money, so you can eat some good meat and meat.
However, once the market fluctuates, the problem will be huge. There will be no work to do, no income, and there will be problems with food.
If there are only a few people in the family, it can be carried for a while. If there are many people in the family, it will be really fatal. If there are a few long-bodied 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 and state-funded welfare benefits. It is said that there are various relief facilities, and the government is boasting about them. But if they were really useful, would so many people starve to death?
To put it simply, no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself, and the people above will not care about the life and death of the people below.
As time goes by, the number of unemployed people in Chengdu Prefecture is increasing, and more and more people are taking to the streets to find work. However, there are fewer and fewer things to do on the market, and there are more and more businesses and large families recruiting people. The less.
More and more people are walking aimlessly on the street, paralyzed on both sides of the street, their eyes are full of unresolved melancholy, they have no idea how to go tomorrow, and they don’t know where their next meal will be. You can get it somewhere.
However, the emergence of this first batch of unemployed people is just the beginning.
As the news of the comprehensive economic blockade of Sichuan and Shu by the Ming Kingdom and Jiangnan Kingdom gradually spread, the internal market of Sichuan and Shu was severely impacted.
Being blocked by the economy means that it is impossible to obtain income from the outside. All business activities can only be circulated internally, and commercial activities can only be carried out from the inside. After all, the internal business digestion capacity is limited, and goods must be produced for consumption.
Without economic circulation and external markets, the false economic prosperity without the support of actual productivity and consumption capacity was instantly restored to its original shape.
The silk weaving industry, which is the most prosperous and most dependent on the external market, is the first to suffer. An economic blockade has directly killed 90% of the silk weaving industry. A large number of employees are unemployed or about to become unemployed. Even some businesses with small scale of operations are facing the crisis. Bankruptcy danger.
Then there are the small businesses in the city that deal in industry, commerce and population, small restaurants, street stalls and the like.
What they do is the business of the urban citizen class, and the huge industrial and commercial population has lost their jobs and has no money to take care of their business, so their business cannot continue.
As the news of the economic blockade spreads further, more and more businesses are afraid that their business will not be able to continue. In order not to lose money, they can only take the initiative to fire clerks, close stores, and cease operations.
Another group of unemployed people appeared.
There are more and more unemployed people in cities and towns, and more and more people have no livelihood. They can only compete with each other for the meager job opportunities, trying to squeeze in each other, trying to squeeze out others.
Despite this, opportunities are getting fewer and fewer, and more and more people have no food to eat.
As a result, Sichuan and Shu society began to show signs of instability.
Su Yonglin had long expected this situation to arise.
The blow to Sichuan and Sichuan's commodity economy will cause drastic changes in Sichuan and Sichuan society. In the short term, it will trigger resistance from urban industrial and commercial workers, the earliest proletariat. In the long term, it will inevitably lead to peasant uprisings in Sichuan and Sichuan.
After the collapse of the commodity economy, the Chengdu court, which was unable to obtain sufficient funds, would inevitably reach out to the land. However, they did not have the ability to attack powerful households and could only bully the peasants.
Will the peasants lie down and let them be exploited and oppressed?
Revolt is inevitable.
And this is the result he wants. He wants to reproduce Zhao Yucheng's success in Jiangxi in Sichuan.
What is the greatest advantage of the Ming Dynasty?
Is it the military?
No, it is a brand-new ideological and theoretical system that can destroy the operating rules of the entire feudal society. It is an ideological weapon that can bury this outdated world.
With this set of theories and this ideological weapon, wherever the people are, the organization will be there, and where the organization is, the struggle will be there.
Just like what happened in Jiangxi back then, although the Ming Dynasty could not directly send troops to intervene, they could do things unexpected by the Chengdu court.
While launching an economic blockade against the Chengdu court, Su Yonglin began to organize the Sichuan and Sichuan branches of the Renaissance Society. He personally selected talents and planned to assign political cadres, military cadres and economic cadres to this branch.
Then everyone will focus on studying the specific situation of Sichuan and Shu, and understand the society of Sichuan and Shu. When they arrive in Sichuan and Shu, contact the local Skynet Army spies and conduct an inspection, and then they can quickly form combat effectiveness, establish combat power, establish a base, and start Develop and grow.
Everything else is easy to arrange. There are a lot of mature political and economic cadres within the Renaissance Association, all of whom have several years of work experience.
However, while inspecting military cadres, Su Yonglin suddenly remembered someone.
"Where is Xu Tong, deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangxi Branch, now? What specific work is he doing?"
Yes, Su Yonglin thought of that outstanding and bold young man, Xu Tong.
To say what Zhao Yucheng's biggest gain was from his actions on Jiangnan West Road, it was naturally a Jiangxi Province plus a Jiangxi Corps.
As for the second big gain besides this, it is naturally the training and promotion of talents.
The most outstanding and dazzling among them is Xu Tong, who currently serves as the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangxi branch of the Fuxing Society and the general of the Yiyong Army under the Jiangxi Corps.
After the Jiangxi Province was established, the Jiangxi Corps also carried out reorganization and reorganization operations. It was reorganized into the Jiangxi Corps with the original peasant army as the basic backbone, supplemented by high-quality soldiers obtained from re-enlistment.
The Jiangxi Corps, like other major corps, has a full strength of 100,000, consisting of three integrated armies and a cavalry team directly under the corps. The cavalry was formed by Zhongdu and then incorporated into the organic system.
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. He himself was appointed as Yiyuan Army because of his outstanding performance. General Yongjun also serves as deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of the Jiangxi Branch.
When Su Yonglin thought of sending people to Sichuan and Sichuan to cause trouble, he immediately thought of Xu Tong, a little troublemaker.
