After Su Yonglin eliminated the landlord and gentry class, he faced tens of millions of individualized farmers.
Tens of millions of individuals increase the difficulty of ruling, but also reduce the risk of resistance, making them easy to bully, exploit, lack resistance, and easy to divide and rule.
This situation also has extremely two sides. Whether it will go to the good side or the bad side will directly depend on the actions of the government.
Su Yonglin is not worried about himself when he is alive, but he is worried about Daming after he dies.
Just as he did not allow the court to issue credit notes, he decided to give farmers a new organizational form through collective farms, a new organization that was not tied to blood ties.
Through this organization, many small individuals were remelted into a large collective, and this large collective was given revolutionary education and public ownership transformation, turning it into a small public ownership collective to practice his ideals.
He wants to reshape this society based on the public ownership economy and completely change the underlying operating logic of this country for thousands of years.
Once such a collective society is formed, even in the worst case, farmers will never be defenseless.
When faced with tyranny, they will not be weak and will not surrender. They can resist, know how to resist, and know how to resist. And there are people who can organize them and concentrate their collective strength to resist.
They will become a strong line of defense to maintain this collective society of public ownership and be strong in the face of attacks from any direction.
This is the promise he made to everyone at the beginning of the revolution. He must fulfill this promise and be a man of his word.
He can't decide what will happen after he dies, and he can't dominate the future world, but he can cause some trouble to the guys who want to go back in the future.
Even if I die, you can't even think of turning back so easily.
Want to be an emperor?
Want to go back to the old feudal road?
Want to enslave farmers and turn them into cattle and horses again?
It's not that easy.
He can't interfere in the world after his death, but with the help of some things he left behind, if someone wants to be a real emperor in the future, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
During this meal with the migrant workers, Su Yonglin ate two bowls of wheat rice and a bowl of vegetable soup, which made him feel very comfortable.
Although the taste of wheat rice is not as good as the Jiangnan rice rice that he likes to eat, it is not the kind of wheat rice that is not shelled, but the wheat rice that has been shelled, and the texture is compared to the unshelled wheat rice. Much improved.
In the early days of the Victory Army and the Liberation Army, the military rations Su Yonglin and his soldiers ate together were either various types of cakes or unshelled steamed wheat rice. The amount was sufficient, but the taste made him eat Jiangnan rice and rice. Su Yonglin, who grew up eating exquisite dishes, was once very uncomfortable and even suffered from constipation.
Later, when he was fighting in the blood and fire, he didn't care about his personal feelings at all. He spent all day planning, training, and running around day and night. It was good to have something hot to eat. He was used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, resources became abundant and conditions improved. Su Yonglin stipulated that the wheat rice in the army's meals should be shelled and then steamed, and introduced some river rice to improve the food for the army.
Now it's my turn to be at the construction site, and the food I eat is all kinds of cakes and shelled wheat rice, and the taste is quite acceptable.
As for the stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables as a side dish, it is really salty. It is a very good side dish with rice. One spoonful of stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables can fill a big bowl of rice, a very big bowl, in some places It can be called a sea bowl.
Su Yonglin paid special attention to it. This was stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables, not shredded pork with pickled vegetables. The amount of meat was still acceptable, and it was reasonable and would definitely not make anyone complain.
Su Yonglin asked around and found that the migrant workers all liked stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables. He also said that the construction site menu only had pickled stir-fried shredded pork once every seven days. They all hoped to make this dish more times. They all liked this dish. Full of salty and meaty flavour.
Su Yonglin asked them which dishes they liked best, and learned that they liked braised pork and stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables the most. Unfortunately, they were both the same and only had their turn once every seven days. When they didn't eat meat, they usually had pickled vegetables and other kinds of dishes. Vegetable leaves are mainly used for stir-frying, or mixed with rice and grains to make thick vegetable porridge, and steamed cakes are added to it to satisfy both hunger and satiety.
Su Yonglin went to ask the person in charge of the construction site again, and then personally inspected the construction site kitchen and food supply system. He was quite satisfied with the operation of the entire system.
Then he learned that the meat supply at the construction site was actually a special supply to a certain extent. The migrant workers ate meat as frequently as the army, far more than ordinary people.
This mainly comes from Su Yonglin's earliest strategy of raising pigs and other poultry using the swill left over from the migrant workers' meals.
No matter how good the cooking at the construction site is, we always have to keep food full. There are often leftovers that we can’t finish, and we are afraid of spoiling them if we keep them. So we raise livestock such as pigs, chickens, and ducks on the construction site and eat the leftovers. They are raised in swill, and then killed and eaten for meat. They are specially used for construction sites. This can save a lot of money in every quarter's financial accounting.
And these pig pens can even provide some convenience to the Privy Council, which is responsible for collecting saltpeter.
From the second year after the construction started, the number and frequency of meat consumption by migrant workers working at the Yellow River Project site began to exceed the national average. In the third and fourth years, it even began to approach the average of the military, and the money they spent was still high. It’s relatively small, and it’s a virtuous cycle of eating well and saving money.
Su Yonglin inspected the internal livestock farms at several construction sites and was satisfied with them.
The work of migrant workers on construction sites is purely manual work. Although the daily working hours are strictly regulated, the workload is heavy and the work intensity is also high.
Su Yonglin took half a day to work with the migrant workers and did some simple transportation work. With his strong body from martial arts training all year round, he was really tired after one morning, and he even ate an extra bowl at lunch.
In this case, the supply of salt and food must be ensured, otherwise there will indeed be widespread injuries and even deaths. It is not difficult to understand why ancient dynasties were in great danger of causing trouble when launching large-scale projects. Widespread uprising.
Such heavy physical work, without enough salt and grain, would be really exhausting based on the physique of farmers in ancient times.
There were so many dead people in such a large area, and they were forced to do such heavy work, it would be strange if an uprising did not break out.
Fortunately, after three or four years of cleaning in Hongwu, the Yellow River construction site was very clean, and Su Yonglin was satisfied with what he saw along the way.
He could slow down and inspect the construction site, walk around, walk outside the construction site, and walk to the villages near the construction site, talk to the old farmers who were preparing for spring plowing, and ask them what they thought of the nearby projects.
According to his understanding, the old farmers basically have no negative views on the Yellow River Project. They feel that they are normal, and quite a few even have positive views.
The reason is that when I was a migrant worker, although I couldn't take care of my family's land and the work was heavy, I still had a lot of meat to eat and enough oil and water. I was always happy to eat every day.
After the migrant worker period is over, when I return home, I don’t have that much meat, oil and water to eat, and I don’t make much money throughout the year. I don’t want to buy too much meat, and I don’t want to eat it in big bites.
So they often think about the days when they ate big meals on the construction site, looking forward to the next rotation when they go to the construction site to eat meat, and eat big and hard.
If they have such thoughts, are there other things that the court should worry about?
In the past dynasties, people were not paid when they were doing corvee work, but even if they could get enough food, even if there was no meat to eat, the migrant workers would not gather to make trouble.
However, all dynasties have taken special precautions against population gathering during major projects, and every time there are major projects, some people raise objections.
It is conceivable that they knew from the beginning that no matter how much money they spent on food, the migrant workers would never be full, they would definitely go hungry, and there would definitely be trouble, so they had to be prepared for suppression in advance.
In their eyes, big projects are when they make money. They want to make money but are afraid of large-scale civil unrest, so they have to work hard on management.
What a nasty group of people.
In February of the seventh year of Hongwu's reign, Su Yonglin was walking on the edge of the Yellow River construction site, watching as this large project that required millions of manpower and tens of billions of money was coming to an end.
This was a crippling situation forced upon him by the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. If he could not crack it, he would not be able to unlock his full power and would become a half-dead person with a disability.
And now, with strong mobilization ability and united execution ability, this stalemate and half-death situation will also usher in its end, and this stale old world will also usher in its first true end. .
At this time, the masters of the old world did not seem to understand this very well.
They don't realize that their end is coming to them. They are still doing what they are bound to do.
For example, the Chengdu court, which had just been established, was still carrying out its own actions of drinking poison to quench its thirst. It did not care at all about the progress of the Ming Dynasty's Yellow River Project and the powerful power that the Ming Dynasty might erupt when the Yellow River Project was completed.
They are still playing the traditional bureaucratic game of deception.
