Section 446

If the landlord provides livestock, seeds, and farm tools, the rent is 30% to 70%.

If the harvest is not good, the rent is 40% to 60%, and the landlord gets less. If there is a disaster, the rent may even be 20% to 80%, and the landlord will only collect two layers. If there is no harvest, the rent will be waived.

The division between the landlord and the tenant needs to be negotiated and confirmed based on the harvest after autumn. This relationship is called rent in kind.

The division based on the proportion of the harvest is called rent in kind.

This relationship maintains the relationship between the rural landlord and the tenant, and the two are in a trading relationship.

This relationship is smooth and does not involve confrontation.

In addition, the truly productive people in the countryside are the rich peasants and the middle peasants. They are willing to maintain a long-term relationship with the landlords. The longer the lease, the more beneficial it is for the rich peasants and the middle peasants.

The rich peasants will hire long-term workers, and the middle peasants will hire short-term workers.

In the countryside, the poor depend on the landlords, rich peasants, and middle peasants for their lives.

This complex dependence relationship is an objective existence.

In addition, there are other relationships in rural society, such as clan ancestral halls and village meetings.

These interpersonal relationships are all social relationships that extend from economic dependence.

Some people now criticize this relationship as feudal society.

In fact, this social relationship is not the feudal society of the Dark Ages in Europe.

This social system is the internal relationship of the small rural system under the great unification.

The collapse of the Chinese countryside is due to the subversion of internal rural relations, which has changed the entire countryside.

With the invasion of the West, the landlord class, which occupied a large amount of resources, began to transform into factory owners.

Landlords entered towns and turned into industrial and commercial practitioners.

Their purpose is not food, but cash.

When rural landlords go to towns to develop urban commerce, develop shops, workshops, etc. in towns.

From this, the whole society enters modern industry and commerce, which is a process of modernization.

In fact, after the main source of landlords' income changed to industry and commerce.

The original countryside became the object of exploitation by landlords.

The relationship between landlords and ordinary farmers changed from a trading relationship to an exploitative relationship.

After the relationship changed, farmers had to pay rent before planting in spring.

Farmers have to wait until the autumn harvest to sell their grains, but now they have no cash, so they have to borrow money.

Borrowing money is financial capital. Ordinary farmers have no collateral, so they can only borrow usury.

For example, the so-called Qingmiao loan is to use the land that has just been planted as collateral to take this loan.

For a loan of ten yuan, farmers can only get five yuan, and the other five yuan is interest.

This is the plunder of rural areas and farmers by financial capital.

In the past, the landlords and farmers negotiated that the remaining part would be given to the landlord after the grain harvest met your living conditions. As China learned from the West, this relationship has undergone a fundamental change.

Today's landlords don't care about the lives of farmers at all.

Landlords have become industrial and commercial practitioners, and they mainly pay in cash.

The land rent is settled in cash, which adds a financial deprivation to farmers, which is actually borrowing usury.

This deprivation through financial means is very cruel.

So much so that rural farmers went bankrupt and had to sell their children in the end.

Because of the development of industry and commerce, the social structure of rural areas has undergone fundamental changes.

The relationship between landlords and farmers changed from a trading relationship to an exploitative relationship.

Landlords moved to the city and became capitalists.

Landlords and farmers were no longer members of the same village community, and they were no longer a rural community. The original rural negotiated pricing and physical transactions of land rent were changed by the development of industry and commerce.

Landlords became capitalists, and ordinary people became the objects of exploitation.

With the development of industry and commerce, the sale of industrial products in the city to the countryside has intensified the entry of industrial and commercial capital into the countryside, such as foreign cloth, kerosene lamps for lighting, agricultural tools for industrial production, etc.

In fact, it is the plunder of rural surplus value through industrial products.

Looking at the reports written by Ren Zhuzhu, Yue Zhenshan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He thought of the time before he traveled through time, when he was also a rural person, working in a big city.

Going from the countryside to the city to work, this behavior itself is the plunder of the countryside and farmers by industrial and commercial capital.

"Point Guard Is Here"

Even in the future world, this deprivation relationship has not changed.

At this moment, it is just like that moment.

Chapter 535 New Road

Before Yue Zhenshan crossed over, he once met the Sanhe God. He couldn't understand why the Sanhe God would lie down.

After reading the book written by Ren Zhuzhu, he found that the former Sanhe God may have seen through the essence of capital's exploitation of workers, and lying down was their silent resistance.

The predatory nature of industry and commerce has never been solved even in the previous life. This is the structural absence of modernization.

The development of industry and commerce will lead to industrialization and urbanization, and most people call this process modernization.

In fact, this so-called modernization will inevitably lead to the concentration of capital and resources in cities. The cost will be transferred to towns and villages. In this case, rural areas and farmers will go bankrupt.

The plunder of the countryside by finance and industry and commerce is a double deprivation. So that farmers go bankrupt and the countryside collapses. The development of industry and commerce has caused rural farmers to become the biggest victims.

Shenzhou advocates learning from Western industrialization, but current Shenzhou scholars have not seen through its essence.

The development of industry and commerce has given birth to two monsters, capital and colonization. For example, Westerners praise Columbus for discovering the New World.

However, why did Columbus sail westward and open up new routes?

The fundamental reason is that Turkey monopolized the trade routes between the East and the West, so that Western European countries had to open up new routes and find new trade routes. Western civilization originated from trade.

In this process, capital and colonization developed.

The core of colonialism is the expansion of commerce and capital, and capital promotes industrialization and urbanization. Westerners package industrialization and urbanization as modernization. Analyzing the essence of modernization, it is the process of capital expansion.

The West occupied four continents, obtained enough surplus value, and then entered industrialization, turning cruel colonization into a After the people were plundered and cleaned, they were packaged into so-called modernization.

If Yue Zhenshan does not change this trend, he will still copy the so-called modernization of the West.

Even if the Chinese civilization can survive the subsequent world wars, this does not mean the end of the crisis. Yue Zhenshan, who came from the future, knows that the final destination of capital must be involution.

After the development of industry and commerce and urbanization, resources and population gather in central cities. Its original driving force is the plunder of surplus value by capital.

When social wealth is extremely unbalanced, it will occur in ancient times, and in modern times, it will be presented in the form of economic crisis. Economic crisis will cause assets to shrink, and resources, especially population, will be transferred to rural areas in reverse.

After accumulating enough wealth, the rural society of the people will restart the economy and economic recovery will occur. At this time, it is the process of a new round of capital development and growth.

This is capital It is a cyclical process of capital.

It is the inevitable result of industrialization and urbanization, and a structural defect. Industrialization and urbanization are based on capital.

It drives human society to improve productivity, promote scientific and technological development, and create wealth through technological practice.

In this process, science and technology and capital are the two cornerstones of modernization. Capital and science and technology complement each other and promote the progress of modern society together.

The problem Yue Zhenshan is facing now is how to improve the social structure.

Reversing the predatory nature of modernization, this predatory nature is the fundamental cause of the decline of rural society. The root of this problem is that the countryside and villages lack a force.

There is no force to resist modernization.

The core of modern civilization represented by urbanization and industrialization is the accumulation of capital.

The key to solving the problem lies in the need to be in the countryside and villages, Find the power to balance urban capital. In Yue Zhenshan's view, the social structure composed of rural and urban areas should rotate and circulate like Tai Chi.

The overall social resources and wealth can flow between the two and complement each other. Instead of unilateral plunder. Thinking of this, Yue Zhenshan suddenly thought of his own life treasure [Book of Truth].

Inside the Book of Truth, there are two virtual digital worlds. One represents the technological side, and the other represents the extraordinary side.

The core of the driving force of modernization is capital, and capital promotes the development of science and technology. So can the extraordinary power be transformed into the driving force of rural areas?

Let rural areas obtain the core to resist the power of urban capital?

The extraordinary and technology represent two different forces, which together drive the progress of human civilization. The two are rooted in different social structures. Like Tai Chi, they transform their respective technical capital into each other.
