Chapter 273: Your subject has an idea, why not let them pay money

Zhu Yiliu of Shuntian Prefecture counted the population of Shuntian Prefecture and found that the population of the capital was much less than in the past, so he had the idea of relocating wealthy households to enrich the capital. This was only the surface reason; the fundamental purpose was to measure land and return it to the people, preventing local annexation.

Wang Chonggu took the opportunity to propose relocating them directly to Liaodong. The capital was crowded and land was scarce, and it couldn't accommodate so many masters. This immediately turned from losing wealth to losing life, from enjoying prosperity in the capital to enjoying the wind, frost, snow, and rain of exile in Liaodong.

Zhu Yijun agreed with Wang Chonggu's statement because he, Wang Chonggu, and Wang Qian were the same kind of people—bad people.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too radical?" Wan Shihe first expressed his doubts. Wasn't this a bit too much?

Excluding those adopted sons and daughters, a wealthy household had at least seventy or eighty people in the household register. 5,800 households, that's more than 400,000 people. This border-filling is really too much.

Adopted sons and daughters would all run away cleanly. The court did not prohibit adopted sons and daughters, but in law, it granted adopted sons the right of inheritance.

"Your subject also has concerns." Yu Dayou suddenly spoke up. He and General Qi Jiguang Jiguang were exactly the same during the court discussion. They never spoke unless it involved military affairs, like a clay sculpture. Now that the invigoration of martial arts was just right, he wouldn't be idle and cause the Great Ming court officials to be wary of military affairs, so he wouldn't speak if he could.

Now Yu Dayou spoke up, proving that Yu Dayou opposed this proposal of filling the border.

"Your Majesty, your subject is not worried that the powerful families will not be able to live. They will find a way to live when they arrive in Liaodong. Your subject is worried that they will collude with the Eastern Barbarian Jianzhou Jurchens, bowing their heads and providing for them, fearing there will be a hidden worry of great disaster." Yu Dayou explained his reasons. He did not sympathize with the powerful families, but was thinking about the safety of the border defense.

"Bowing heads and providing for them" means kneeling on the ground to be a dog for the Jianzhou Jurchens, acting as a tiger's accomplice.

In fact, relocating to guard the mausoleum had such discussions from the beginning. At that time, the Xiongnu were fierce, often raiding Chang'an, Dai County, and other places. The border people were either captured or fled, and the border was extremely empty.

Wu Di of Han originally intended to send the wealthy households to the border, but at that time, Sang Hongyang and Zhang Tang said to Wu Di of Han: "The wealthy hide their wealth, and those who do not report or report falsely, in addition to confiscating the money, will be punished by guarding the border for one year, fearing they will bow their heads and provide for the barbarians."

After the "Calculation of Money Order" was issued and the business tax began to be collected, many wealthy people scrambled to hide their property. Those who did not report or reported falsely, in addition to confiscating the money, had to guard the border for one year. Such harsh punishment still could not stop the wealthy from hiding their property. If they went to the border, they might kneel on the ground and serve the Xiongnu, causing harm.

In order to collect this vehicle and ship tax, Wu Di of Han first issued the "Calculation of Money Order," and then issued the "Great Denunciation Order," where everyone could report. But this vehicle and ship tax was still collected with complaints.

In this round of struggle, Wu Di of Han did not win. He chose to compromise. In the first year of Yuanfeng, after Sang Hongyang succeeded in the state operation of salt and iron and the equalization of transportation, he ordered officials to pay grain to buy official positions and redeem crimes. The court's fiscal deficit improved, and finally, the "Calculation of Money Order" and "Denunciation Order" were abolished.

"Ordering officials to pay grain to buy official positions" is selling offices and trading titles, and "paying money to redeem crimes" is "crime redemption silver," which is paying a little money to redeem crimes. Li Guang faced the punishment of beheading because he lost his way and was defeated. Li Guang paid money to avoid punishment. And Sima Qian, who wrote the "Records of the Grand Historian," had no money to pay the fine, so he could only accept castration.

"Crime redemption silver" was popular during the Qianlong period, and then the civil service of the Qing Dynasty followed the downhill road and stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank, turning sharply downward.

Selling offices and trading titles and crime redemption silver actually didn't get much money. On the contrary, the state operation of salt and iron and the equalization of transportation filled Wu Di of Han's hole.

Tan Lun thought for a while and said, "Isn't this just right?"

"Just right?" Yu Dayou frowned.

"Just right to cook them all in one pot." Tan Lun said very firmly, "If these 'cheap scholars' really help the Jianzhou Jurchens' momentum, then cook them all in one pot, saving them from continuing to make trouble. Taking advantage of the fact that the Beijing troops can fight now, solve two contradictions at once. If the Beijing troops can't fight, doesn't it mean that neither of the two contradictions can be solved?"

Wang Chonggu and Tan Lun were both aiming at each other's lives.

The Beijing troops are strong now. If the Beijing troops become weak, the court cannot solve these two contradictions. It is better to put them together and cook them in one pot, saving trouble.

"Ah this... Grand Minister's words make sense." Yu Dayou thought about it and felt that Tan Lun's words were not unreasonable. Taking advantage of the fact that the Beijing troops can fight, hurry up and do things. In a few years, the Great Ming's Beijing troops won't be able to fight. How can the court solve these two contradictions?

The Great Ming's Beijing troops have always been in a state of ups and downs. When they are strong, the court's majesty is like a god. When they are weak, the local areas do not respect the court's orders and govern themselves.

"You two, you are more radical than the Wang Cifu." Wan Shihe said helplessly.

Tan Lun and Yu Dayou were both from military backgrounds. Their way of thinking was a path dependence. When they couldn't decide on things, they resorted to force.

Who let the Great Ming Emperor release the beast General Qi Jiguang Jiguang and arm General Qi Jiguang Jiguang to the teeth? When the Beijing troops fight, even the Governor of Military Affairs is in the capital, and there is no Governor of Military Affairs to restrain the Beijing troops when they are in the capital. Resorting to force has become a reality.

This Tan Lun cannot go to the battlefield, and there is a breath of anger in his heart. This is like squeezing urine out of a frog. If he doesn't make it flow with blood, it won't work. Such an overly radical method is like cutting off your hand when your hand hurts, and cutting off your foot when your foot hurts. If your head hurts one day, will you cut off your head?

The Emperor is the head of the Great Ming. The Great Ming Emperor is wise now because Zhang Juzheng is still there and the constraints are strict. If Zhang Juzheng is gone, will the little Emperor still be as wise as he is now? By then, the officials who are loyal to the monarch and the country now will all become sycophants who deceive the Emperor.

Whether it is a loyal official or a sycophant is entirely up to the Emperor.

Wan Shihe thought about it and said, "Your subject has an idea, let them pay money."

"Pay money?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe in a daze. This Wan Shihe is worthy of being a scholar. As soon as his eyeballs turned, it was an idea.

"Pay money as a settlement fee. They are relocated from the local area to the capital. The capital is already crowded and land is scarce. The court provides them with settlement, so there must be wealth. This journey is exhausting, and they need to use post stations. This vehicle and settlement fee must be paid. If they are willing to pay, they still have some heart of loyalty to the monarch. If they are unwilling to pay, they have no submissive heart at all, so send them to Liaodong to reclaim wasteland." Wan Shihe narrated his idea completely, causing the high officials of the Great Ming to look sideways.

This idea of Wan Shihe fully displays the style of a scholar.

Those officials who entered the court from local areas would think of Wan Shihe first when they wanted to pick soft persimmons. After all, Wan Shihe was neither a Jin Party member nor a Chu Party member. He looked like he had no party and was the easiest to bully.

"We are relocating wealthy households to the capital to prevent them from annexing land in the local area. How did it get to this point?" Zhang Xueyan was participating in the court discussion as the Minister of Revenue for the first time. He was shocked by this round of listening!

The high officials of the Great Ming are all too terrible. Although they are all scholars, this one bad idea plus another bad idea is really frightening. If the Great Ming is controlled by such a group of people, the powerful families will have to suffer.

Relocating wealthy households to the capital is to physically prevent annexation. It was originally a tyranny. Which Emperor who did this kind of thing in the past dynasties was not scolded to death? Wu Di of Han, Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu, which one of them didn't get scolded for hundreds of years?

"Not teaching and then killing is cruelty. Letting the powerful pay the settlement fee is indeed a way of selection." Ma Ziqiang analyzed the policy from the perspective of ritual law and felt it was feasible.

Not teaching and then killing is cruelty. Then let the powerful pay the settlement fee. Isn't this teaching? Give them a chance. If they can grasp the opportunity, they can be a rich man in the capital. If they are unwilling to grasp the opportunity and are stubborn, then they will be a lonely ghost.

It barely makes sense in ritual law.

"What does Wang Wang Cifu think?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu. He felt that Wan Shihe's supplement was indeed a good method.

Wang Chonggu said quite seriously, "Your subject thinks it is very good."

Wang Chonggu didn't intend to get this done at all. Even if the Emperor agreed, it would be too difficult to execute. But after the court discussion, the policy became executable. After this round of selection, those sent to Liaodong would be those who had no submissive heart at all. When cooking them in one pot, don't blame the court for being unkind.

"Then let's do it. The Ministry of Revenue will set the regulations for relocating the wealthy, and then it will be promoted." Zhu Yijun made the final decision.

Synthesizing the results of the court discussion, Lu Diaoyang wrote the floating note and looked at it twice, shaking his head and saying, "The world is troubled by annexation. But if the gentry can settle the people and shepherd the people, how can the court be so harsh?"

Lu Diaoyang presented the memorial to the Emperor and continued, "There is nothing to annex, and nothing to merge. The world is in trouble, and the gentry have all kinds of privileges in justice and taxation, but they do evil and do not think about the people of the country. It is truly self-inflicted."

"Jiangxi has no summer tax, and Huguang has no wheat grain."

Zhu Yijun stamped the memorial and sent it to the Ministry of Revenue. Hearing Lu Diaoyang say this, he asked strangely, "What kind of prophecy is this?"

"Your Majesty, your subject is from Huguang and is a member of the Chu Party. Your subject's words have the suspicion of obstructing the holy hearing, and even more the shame of clinging to power, but your subject still wants to report to the Holy One." Lu Diaoyang bowed and said, "Spring and autumn two taxes, Jiangxi does not pay summer tax, and Huguang does not pay spring tax. Although these taxes are not paid to the court, the people's straw tax has never been reduced by a fraction, and it is impossible to satisfy the private demands of the local government. Huguang has many refugees entering the mountains."

"In the 29th year of Jiajing, your subject passed the second place in the imperial examination. This year, the refugees entering the mountains in Huguang exceeded 400,000. Straw tax, tenant rent, and local private demands—this straw tax is the court's tax and labor, this tenant rent is the rent for the landlord's family, and this local private demand is the various names set up by various places. The people's livelihood is extremely bitter."

"Your subject originally thought that the court's straw tax was extremely heavy, but it turned out that Huguang did not pay spring tax."

Jiangxi and Huguang are fixed exemptions, which are ancestral laws set by the Founding Emperor. It was mainly because Huguang had no people for thousands of miles back then, and Jiangxi had many people and little land, and the people's lives were bitter. This is a grace of the court, but it has never been implemented. The people in Huguang have always borne the spring and autumn two taxes.

Speaking of the matter, analyzing the specific matter, the matter of the straw tax in Huguang and Jiangxi is who is eating the people. The court does not have that ability, but for so many years, it has indeed been indulging the gentry and powerful people to eat the people.

Lu Diaoyang didn't think there was anything wrong with what Wang Chonggu, Wan Shihe, and Tan Lun said. These gentry and powerful people, as long as they had a little heart for the country's difficulties, they wouldn't annex land on a large scale in the famine years. For example, the locust plague in Jiangxi last year, if Pan Jixun hadn't held a knife and forced these big households not to annex, it would have been another civil riot.

Blame the court for being ruthless. If the court is not ruthless, the people should have risen up.

Lu Diaoyang said this to let the Emperor know why Zhang Juzheng wanted to promote the political correctness of "eating the gentry, treating the poor well." The Emperor is young after all, and he is not very clear about the power of the gentry to destroy the Great Ming order.

"The Master once said to your subject that there is a danger of the world being overturned, so we should implement the new policy." Lu Diaoyang's tone was very serious. Now the Master is not in the court.

Zhu Yijun knew very little about the communication between Zhang Juzheng and his disciples, only knowing that one Gao Qiyu was expelled from the sect. Lu Diaoyang was the first to bring private words to the Wenhua Hall, because now many new scholars find it difficult to understand why Zhang Juzheng insisted on implementing the new policy.

These scholars mostly come from wealthy families. They are slow to perceive the bad situation of the country. They cannot see the boiling resentment of the people under the calm lake.

"When the high pavilion hangs the clothes to adjust the tripod, it is pitiful that the world has micro-words."

"The water that overturns the boat is the tears of the common people. If it doesn't reach the flood, the monarch doesn't know."

For the Emperor who is deep in the nine layers and lives in the information cocoon woven by court officials, it is very difficult to see the danger of the country. It is the same for scholars who do not hear things outside the window and only read the books of sages. They cannot understand why Zhang Juzheng wants to be harsh on the gentry, thinking that he is naturally hostile because of his background as a leg-soldier. They cannot understand why the court wants to toss so much, because they themselves blocked their ears and didn't listen to the wind and rain outside the window.

Now the scholars find it even harder to understand, because what they see is the prosperity under the new policy. They will complain that there are too many people on the road when they go out, the capital is crowded, and they will scold the small people for being tricky because the dung road is not smooth. They will feel that the Great Ming's material is very rich, the country is peaceful, and there is no need for too much tossing.

Isn't it all good? The court is rich, enough for six years of expenditure, and the Emperor's inner treasury is the richest in the world. Why change? Why gather wealth? Why implement the new policy?

People all speak from their own standpoint. Compared with the larger group of the world, the country, and the society, they care more about their own small group.

"Grand Minister." Zhu Yijun understood Lu Diaoyang's worry. There is a danger of the world being overturned. Even a person of great perseverance can hardly see it clearly.

"Your subject is here." Tan Lun bowed and said.

"When going to Song Yingchang in the spring of March, take our Great Ming's new scholars, the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, and select a batch of students from the Mingli Hall and the Rate Hall of the Imperial Academy to accompany you. Zhou Liangyin was originally a 'cheap scholar,' but after two years in Daning Guard, he has become loyal to the monarch and the country." Zhu Yijun thought of a good way to let everyone go to the border to see for themselves and understand the suffering of the Great Ming people.

Zhu Yijun specifically mentioned one person, Zhou Liangyin. This guy ran to Daning Guard and Liaodong with Tan Lun last year. What he said when he came back was the truth, but he chose to tell the truth selectively. After being lectured by the Emperor, he was sent out to be an official and went to Daning Guard to be a consultant for military affairs, presiding over the farming of Daning Guard.

Although Zhou Liangyin refused to clearly support the new policy, everything he did was loyal to the monarch and the country. He and the two people, Hou and Zhao, did not do less "advancing one inch a day."

Daning Guard, Huining Guard, Zhangwu, Rehe, Song Yingchang, these newly opened places were all places where birds didn't lay eggs in the past. But in such places, the people were willing to go for the sake of survival. Since Tan Lun is going, take the new scholars, Hanlin, and students together.

Mingli Hall and Rate Hall are the two upper halls in the Imperial Academy. You have to pass the exam to get in. The mathematics of Mingli Hall even has to reach more than 90 points. A person of great perseverance, with the world in his heart, must also know the current situation of the world.

"Your subject will obey the decree." Tan Lun bowed and took the order.

Lu Diaoyang took out another memorial and said, "First, the imperial relative, Wu Xun Li Wei, let his family members take the cloth flowers and embezzled a lot. The soldiers were in an uproar. The day before yesterday, His Majesty ordered to take a piece of cloth to verify, and it was unbearable. The Empress Dowager heard about it and was very angry. She sent an edict: The cabinet should deal with it according to the law. I will not favor the outer family, no need to enter the palace to plead, and in the future, do not buy the outer family's goods."

Wu Xun Li Wei caused trouble again and again!

Empress Dowager Li was angry, directly closed the palace gate, and did not allow Li Wei and his son to enter the palace to plead, letting the cabinet deal with it according to the law, not to be lenient, and the Empress Dowager would not favor the outer family.

"The Empress Dowager is angry because the outer family lost the face of the royal family, not because of anything big. Just punish and confiscate according to the law." Zhu Yijun explained clearly.

In fact, it was not a big deal. The cloth flowers that Wu Xun Li Wei supervised were not the cloth flowers of the new Beijing troops, but the cloth flowers of the old Beijing troops. The old camp was the previous Beijing troops, with only about 50,000 or 60,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled. After several years of clearing and selecting into the Beijing troops, the old camp only had a few thousand people left, all of whom were noble children who were unwilling to give up their salaries.

To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of the powerful families fighting for profit. Empress Dowager Li was angry because Li Wei didn't handle the court's purchase well and caused trouble. This time she didn't lecture, but directly let the cabinet deal with it, and did not allow leniency.

People are afraid of comparison. Compared with the Zhang Empress of the Xiaozong Emperor, Empress Dowager Li is definitely a model of virtue.

The Zhang Empress's two younger brothers wore the Xiaozong Emperor's crown and belt, and were not punished. The Zhang Empress liked to favor her outer family, but Empress Dowager Li didn't care about Wu Xun Li Wei at all.

There were many contents in the court discussion. The first court discussion of the New Year even occupied the time of Zhu Yijun's lecture. After it ended, the book-exhibiting officials, readers, and lecturers all filed in. Zhu Yijun sorted out the content of today's court discussion, frowned, and Zhu Yijun actually hadn't arrived yet.

"Where did the person go?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao.

Feng Bao immediately replied, "His Highness the Lu Prince is now in the side hall."

Zhu Yijun's eyes widened, and he rushed out, running toward the side hall. He had so many models there. If this bear child Zhu Yijun broke his models, he would definitely kick his butt hard!

When Zhu Yijun arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief, because although Zhu Yijun was a bear, he still knew what could be touched and what could not. The side hall of the Wenhua Hall was full of the Emperor's beloved things. Even if Zhu Yijun was bold, he wouldn't dare to run wild here. He came in to study.

"Brother!" Zhu Yijun saw the Emperor's figure and was startled, hurriedly saluting.

"What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Zhu Yijun signaled his younger brother to stand up and asked with a smile. As long as he didn't run wild, he was a good child.

Zhu Yijun saw that the Emperor didn't blame him, and immediately became happy, excitedly saying, "Everything is very magical, just like a magic trick, but I don't understand it."

Empress Dowager Li had taught many times, asking Zhu Yijun to call himself a subject and call the Emperor Your Majesty. Zhu Yijun was not disobedient, but he called the Emperor like this, and the Emperor would respond, and never corrected him.

"If you don't understand, I will explain it to you." Zhu Yijun walked to a test bench and said with a smile, "Don't you understand this?"

"Yes." Zhu Yijun nodded honestly.

On the test bench was a glass tube. The glass tube was very strange, thick at one end and thin at the other. And there was a very strange spiral speedometer on this tube, which was to measure the speed of water flow. The thick section was connected to a water tank.

Zhu Yijun opened the switch of the water tank, and the water flowed down with a splash. The speedometer on the thick and thin parts began to rotate rapidly.

"The flow speed on the thick side is slow, and the flow speed on the thin side is fast. The thick and thin parts must be at the same height. Their centers are at the same height. We found that when the height is the same, the fluid's specific gravity multiplied by the square of the speed, subtracted and divided by two, is the pressure difference between the thick and thin ends." Zhu Yijun finished releasing all the water and explained the principle with a smile.

The pressure difference is more accurately the pressure difference, but it doesn't matter. It explains a problem, that is, the scientific reason why hard-sail ships can sail in eight directions. The hard sail that can sail in eight directions is not because the Great Emperor Zhenwu gave divine power, but the infinite truth of all things in nature.

In summary, small speed means high pressure, and high speed means low pressure. The pressure difference produces a force. This is also the basic principle of steam turbines.

Introducing the concept of specific gravity is because it was found in practice that the force of the three-sided wind wings on the water of the hydrofoil sailboat is not as good as the short wings in the water. This is because the pressure difference produced by the density of air is far smaller than the pressure difference produced by the fluid water. The appearance of this formula made the Great Ming shipbuilding industry's ship design grow wings.

According to the pressure difference formula, to pursue maximum speed, can one side be concave to slow down the fluid speed and the other side be convex to increase the fluid speed?

Practice has proved that it is not like this at all. Because of material strength and other reasons, both sides are convex, which is easier to use wind power. One arc is large and one arc is small. The formula is obtained from the fluid water, and the fluid air can be compressed and cannot be applied mechanically.

Hydrofoil sailboats, the vehicles of the Great Ming maritime defense inspectors, have had their two wings changed. They haven't increased speed much, but they provide operability, making driving easier, rather than fighting for life like in the past.

For a long time, the night scouts of the beacon towers and the water-drifting maritime defense inspectors have been high-risk professions. They are not dying in the line of duty, but dying for the country. Zhu Yijun has always held high respect for those who die for the country and does his best to ensure the lives of their descendants.

Getting lost on the grassland and having an accident at sea, even the corpses cannot be found, can only leave a cenotaph.

Zhu Yijun didn't explain it more complicatedly. Even if he explained it to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun wouldn't understand.

Zhu Yijun took out a picture and said, "This is the force analysis of the hydrofoil sailboat, which are the ship sail, the wind wings on both sides, and the three hydrofoils under the ship. This is the force analysis of the trimaran hydrofoil sailboat. After synthesis, the design of the hydrofoil sailboat can be optimized. Currently, Nanya is trial-producing new hydrofoil sailboats."

"For small ships, we are far ahead of the West!"

"What about large ships?" Zhu Yijun naturally couldn't understand any force analysis, but he heard the sincere pride of his brother.

"Also ahead, but not far ahead." Zhu Yijun said with great emotion, "In this regard, this group of pirates, the Red-Haired Barbarians, still have talent. Captain Antonio, who comes to the capital to pay tribute every year, mentioned that the King of Spain in the West is improving sailboats and started building them last year."

Zhu Yijun's definition of Westerners is Red-Haired Barbarian pirates. He doesn't hold the mentality of looking at tributary countries toward Antonio, a merchant. They took away the Great Ming's silk and brought silver. This is not tributary trade, but a transition from tributary trade to city-shipping trade.

Antonio's large sailing ship has a strong tributary color. After all, Antonio comes to the capital every year to see the Emperor to ensure the stable progress of trade. But the goods on the large sailing ship are not tributary trade, but are conducted in the City Shipping Department of the New Port. Tributary trade is gradually being eliminated by the times.

This is the inevitable development of society under the succession of contradictions.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand slowly in the future." Zhu Yijun took Zhu Yijun to another test bench. On this test bench was a bellows, or more accurately, a reciprocating bellows, or more accurately, a prototype of a reciprocating steam engine.

Zhu Yijun lit the fish oil lamp. The flickering fire of the fish oil lamp heated the water in the water tank to boiling. The steam began to slowly push the cylinder to run, and the reciprocating steam engine drove a windmill to rotate. Zhu Yijun felt the gentle breeze of the windmill.

"It's turning! It's turning!" Zhu Yijun's eyes widened, full of amazement, even more surprised than the magical skills of the artists he saw!

"If we add a pressure-limiting valve to the cylinder, we can get high-pressure steam, but this airflow is unstable. The Royal Academy of Investigation of Things is currently studying how to keep its airflow stable to maintain the stability of the working conditions." Zhu Yijun smiled and extinguished the fish oil lamp with the lamp cover.

The thing in Zhu Yijun's hand can turn, but it can only turn a little bit.

To make the reciprocating steam engine run, it needs high-pressure steam to push it. High pressure means high temperature, which requires stricter airtightness and dynamic sealing of the whole. The Royal Academy of Investigation of Things is still working overtime to improve it.

Now the Academy of Investigation of Things has formed two routes for steam power, one is steam turbine, and the other is reciprocating steam engine.

And Zhu Zaiyu, who advocates steam turbines, has to admit that steam turbines are the future, while reciprocating steam engines are the reality. Zhu Zaiyu did not let his own claims delay the development of reciprocating steam engines, and even promoted the development of reciprocating steam engines.

"When can this thing be used for the people?" Zhu Yijun keenly noticed that this thing is a good thing, but now it is just the Emperor's toy.

Zhu Yijun said with some helplessness, "Maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe longer. Now, it is much more expensive than human labor."
