C3129 Comprehension

"Xiang Ying! Answer me, and tell Bing Tai what happened! " Xiao Letian said.

"Yes, Master!" Xiang Ying looked at Bing Tai and laughed, "Class conflicts are indeed irreconcilable. The capitalists and the working class would of course clash with each other, but standing on the river of history, they are actually one entity!"

"These are the two sides of the Industrial Revolution!"

Xiang Ying had figured out the real worry of the leader, and had grasped the crux of the problem!

Although the capitalists and the working class were contradictory to each other, they were also one and the same. It had to be said that the working class did not even exist in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and only at the end of the nineteenth century did there exist such a class.

At the end of the day, technology was still evolving and productivity was increasing, resulting in the current situation.

What accompanied the early stage of bourgeois development? It was the great geographical discovery of the The Age of Great Navigation. At that time, the industrial production in Europe was actually in the form of a small workshop master.

The main source of wealth from that era was plundering. It was directly plundering people and resources from the colonies!

Spain and the Portugal were the representatives of that era. Their own country did not carry out industrialization, but rather, small workshops were scattered about, and a large number of people at the bottom were not workers but farmers and herdsmen!

Therefore, in that era, the power of the feudal lords was still very strong. The main contradiction of society was the conflict between the capitalists and the feudal lords.

Outside, these countries mainly sold black slaves. This was a direct robbery of people, or taking gold, silver, pearls, gems, and other precious natural goods!

No one was interested in developing a colonial economy. They were too lazy to industrialize their own country, so how could they invest in a colony?

So in that era, the working class did not exist!

It was the British who changed this. In the era of the Great Geographic Discovery, they were behind Spain and the Portugal, and when Britain began to expand abroad, there was not much fat left to snatch.

They could only plunder from the Spaniard little by little, then be forced to increase their domestic productivity, using the business model to earn gold and silver from other countries.

To put it bluntly, you are in charge of robbing. I will be in charge of manufacturing daily necessities to sell to you before earning them back!

The textile industry was one of the first industries to go into industrialization. Textiles were the absolute living materials that any country needed. Furthermore, it was a consumable product that required a large amount of replenishment every year!

What exactly was the nature of the Industrial Revolution? In the end, it is to increase productivity and reduce the cost of unit products, and finally let the domestic products make the world's money!

The same cloth, the same quality and color, you need fifty pounds just for making in Spain, and you can make a profit for a British retail sale of only thirty pounds!

How could they compete? Even an idiot would buy something of high quality or low price!

It was because of the textile industry's first Industrial Revolution that Britain had earned the first pot of gold in the rise of the empire!

When the Napoleon the War God swept through Europe, one side was at war with Britain, and on the other side, he had to buy British fabrics for his soldiers' uniforms!

This was not a joke, this was the true historical fact!

Britain's success had ignited the interest of many countries in the Industrial Revolution, because national power competition was a life and death game, everyone wished to be that strong person!

The moneymaking effect in Britain triggered the emulation in all of Europe, thus promoting the industrialization of various countries. It was also in this era that the working class gradually took shape!

If one understood the history, then he would also understand the crux of the problem. Why would the working class appear? That was because of the large-scale construction of factories and industrial zones!

And why would the factory be built on a large scale? That's because capitalists need factories to produce, they need workers to work, and they make a lot of money!

Why is it that building a factory makes a lot of money? That was because with higher technology and productivity, the efficiency of the factories would be able to completely destroy the handicraft industry of other people!

Furthermore, in the hearts of the country's upper echelons, their country's industrial strength had increased, while the other countries' industrial strength was weak.

Trade will be in deficit, their own country will become richer and stronger, and other countries will become weaker and weaker!

Not only commodity competition, but even the military and industrial sectors also needed to be industrialized!

His country could produce 10,000 cannons a year, as well as a million rifles. The enemy could produce 100 cannons and 1,000 rifles a year!

With such a disparity in productivity, isn't this just being casually bullied by me? To open up a new land and colonize another people, that was truly a great feeling!

"Hahaha …" Do you understand now? My big brother Bing Tai Lang! Everything talks about karma, how did working class appear? "

"Because the rulers of these European powers and the capitalists in their own countries need factories. They need the working class to be their slaves."

"It's a capitalist society that needs more and more workers... Because the more workers there are, the greater the scale of the factories in this country and the higher their productivity, so the strength of the country will also become more powerful! "

"Now do you understand what is meant by 'the two sides of the Industrial Revolution'? Now, do you still want to control the scale of working class? "If you want to control the scale, the first ones to impeach you are the capitalists!"

"Because you suppressed the development of the working class, which also means you have cut off their road to riches!"

"Actually, in the eyes of those capitalists, not only will the working class not shrink in size, it will grow larger and larger … Why else would the enclave be in the UK? "You should try to understand the history of the sheep eating humans!"

"In fact, you have to carefully study the history of Europe. Ever since the Industrial Revolution's sweetness was felt by all the Europeans, the capitalist powers began to consciously squeeze out the peasants!"

"They are working hard to force the peasants to change their way to working class! That's why there's a British campaign, and why there's sheep to eat people! "

"All the complaints of the capitalists, and all their suppression of the Workers' Movement … The reason why they started with this is not because the working class is too big, but because they actually hoped that this stage would be even bigger! "

"All their grievances, all their acts of repression … In fact, he was just angry at the worker for not obediently being a slave! "The workers are unwilling to follow the rules of the game and always want to raise their income!"

"What is the nature of capital? It's all for profit! "

"What is the natural enemy of capital? "It's to steal my profits!"

"Capitalists always want to earn more and more. Anything that makes them less profitable is a betrayal. How can we not suppress it?"

"But even if we suppress them, they can't completely suppress this class. If all the workers go back home to farm and don't go back to the factories, there will be no industrialization!"

Pah pah pah … Xiao Letian slowly clapped. "Very good, I didn't teach you for nothing, you understood everything thoroughly!"
