Chapter 229 Quang Nam Province Development
As we said earlier, Vietnam's territory is related to the political changes in Southeast Asia, and it can be said that it is the result of the evolution of international cooperation.
Its territory is long and narrow, but it occupies the mouth of the Indochina Peninsula, and it can be said that it is the most fertile territory.
There is naturally a reason for this, probably because of its geographical separation, although it essentially belongs to the descendants of the Chinese, it is the descendants of the generals of the Qin State who ran away during the Qin State era.
Of course, it can be said that this is also the reason why the South Vietnamese country can bully the surrounding natives, after all, the people are still in the tribal era, you have writing, you have grammar to establish a country, and the gap is too big.
What does text really mean?
If a unit can achieve a large number of literate personnel, it means that it can operate all kinds of advanced weapons, convey orders more accurately and certainly, grasp intelligence and information more certainly, and calculate the enemy's various tactics very well.
Of course, my "big send" of my "Daming" and my "Daqing" is another story.
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was such a strange thing.
Relying on maritime trade, the country has obtained a large amount of South American silver, completely out of the Song Dynasty has experienced a money shortage, in fact, this money shortage is a lie at all, its essence lies in the difficulty of controlling the commercial tax, the only person who understands Jiajing wants to cheer up the collection of taxes, can be the Donglin Party led by the moral civil officials themselves are the beneficiaries of the non-collection of commercial taxes, the big businessmen behind them, never accustomed to creating innovation, see what industry, directly kill people and destroy households to seize it.
In the face of the elders, they were not weak at all, and they directly offered to sell the elders' industries such as steel mills and railways, which was nothing more than giving the host a little spare money.
This situation is actually subject to the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.
At the very beginning, Zhu Di moved to the imperial capital, the so-called Son of Heaven guarding the country, at first it was just as a companion to the capital, but later the little emperor, who was longer than the hands of the women in the deep palace, where did he have the ability to run so far.
As a result, after gradually losing control of Jiangnan, they found it increasingly difficult to get money from Jiangnan to support the country's development.
This point is very simple, for a tax collector, his own salary is a drop in the bucket, but if you can please a certain big businessman and help him exempt from taxes, even if it is a tenth of the tax due, it is a terrible amount of money.
This game of game theory, played to the end of the Ming Dynasty, has formed a stable industrial chain, for the money issued above, as well as the taxes paid below, what position people earn, it is already a convention, and there will definitely not be a situation where polite officials quarrel and quarrel for such a little blockage.
Even if Luoyang City is besieged, it is necessary to recruit poor ghosts to defend the city, but poor ghosts, why don't you starve, why don't you wait for death at home quietly, why resist, it's not elegant at all, for these life-selling money, it is natural to start collecting money up and down.
This is determined by the political structure, and from the very beginning, the interests of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were not tied to the Ming Dynasty.
This is very different from the Eight Banners of later generations, who can still work hard for their hardcore sorghum.
Not to mention anything else, when the empire needs to be repaid, in order to get the privilege and monopoly right, even the imperial capital has been beaten down by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the family has been ordered to pay tens of thousands of contributions, and the sacrifice is less, that is, to slap the magistrate in the face, the parents and officials are angry, and the small businessmen tremble, so the national merchants have contributed tens of millions of taels.
Among them, thirteen merchants contributed three million taels, salt merchants contributed five million taels, silk merchants, porcelain merchants and other merchants from all walks of life added up, and Guangdong took out 10 million taels; Other wealthy places, such as the Hui merchants, including the salt merchants, took out 12 million taels, the Shanxi Jin merchants took out 15 million taels, and the merchants of the whole world actually provided 200 million taels of silver in this wave of political oppression.
This is also the advanced nature of the Eight Banners system.
In fact, it is also very simple, compared to the internal natural disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the external consumer market was sluggish, I caught up with the good times of the Qing Dynasty, and no one knows how much silver flowed into China from Japan and the West, but basically it was in two hundred million units, and the more conservative figure was 600 million taels, of which the Ming Dynasty flowed into 200 million taels, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty inflowed into 400 million taels in the early middle and early Qing Dynasty, and after the Daoguang opium flowed in, the outflow of silver began.
The 400 million taels of silver that flowed into the Manchu Dynasty alone greatly enriched China's silver reserves, China did not have a perfect capital market, the vast majority of this money was in the hands of officials, magnates and wealthy businessmen, and a small part was in the hands of landlords and wealthy families.
At most, it's just a silver slot.
The concentration of this silver makes it easy to loot. In fact, the Ming Dynasty was the same, the gap between the rich and the poor was serious, and the wealth was in the hands of the wealthy class, but the Ming Dynasty emperor just couldn't squeeze it out, not that the Ming Emperor was incompetent, and the Ming Dynasty had a class of scholars, so it would always be possible to do things that were beneficial to the scholars and unfavorable to the country.
And I am in the Qing Dynasty, at least there is a small organization of the Eight Banners, at least in the early stage, the cohesion and centripetal force of the Eight Banners organization are good, the hardcore sorghum is eaten, and you can use special channels to participate in the civil service examination.
But there is still the discipline and consciousness of this class, unlike the gentry class whose country is more miserable and beautiful, the Eight Banners soon discovered that once the Qing Dynasty is in turmoil, their silver will be gone.
At least in the early stage, there was such a team attached to themselves, and when they raised the butcher knife, there was naturally no obstacle.
This is also the reason why the Qianlong Emperor of later generations had the confidence to tell the truth: I thought that your literature was still excellent, so I led the Siku Library. It's really just advocating excellence, how dare you talk about state affairs! Comparing the so-called talented Ji Xiaolan to a prostitute, Qianlong is probably unprecedented and unprecedented, the truth.
The key is to find the right way to squeeze out the money, not that the emperor begged for donations, but should be like xx, directly in the form of threats, you beg him, you can't get his loyalty and support, but like the Donglin Party, the more good they are to him, the more desperately they oppose the regime that pays them wages, and put the knife on their necks, so that they can obey you, Li Zicheng did this, and I did the same in the Qing Dynasty, and when it comes to the ability to oppress the people of my country, Whether it is the British Empire or the United States, each village has its own tunnel, and each village has its own tricks, so I won't repeat it.
For Vietnam, what are its roots?
The answer is very primitive kinship.
The kinship thing seems to be very united, but if it really falls apart, it will be the most ruthless, the reason is very simple, being your relative was not originally my choice, but innate.
I came to my house for a meal today, and I couldn't bear it, but my heart was reduced by a point.
Come over tomorrow and take something, I'll pout, although you scolded me, why don't you hurry up and buy a new TV, and give you this TV that has only been bought for a year, it's so stingy, I endure it, and I lose two points in my heart.
Between relatives, it is a high score at the beginning, but the more you get to the back, the score will decrease, whether it is a child who breaks your precious souvenirs, or a distant relative who takes something, someone will inevitably attack you with an eight-character mantra: the New Year, people are dead, they are coming, it is not easy, or children, they are older, for your good, just get used to it, you disagree a little, and all kinds of vicious hats will come.
Relatives know each other well, and once a conflict breaks out, there is often no room for maneuver.
This is also why, the civil wars of the royal family in the past have been extremely tragic and terrible.
The same is true for the Zheng family.
The cohesion point of the uneven distribution of this family lies in the fact that if we destroy the Ruan family in the south, won't the Ruan family's territory and property be divided, so, eldest nephew, work hard, be patient, and when the company goes public in the future, I will give you a salary increase.
If you meet such a person while working, quit immediately, and don't hesitate at all.
So relatives and relatives often do things well at the beginning, but when they get to the later stage, the accumulated problems are like the subtraction items, at the beginning I saw that you were a relative, and I put up with it, and when the score was 0, I basically started to open the film.
What Li Dakang didn't expect was that Mu Rongshan left him a too good start, and the effect of a doll of the Zheng family was so good, as long as he played his banner, it was basically a matter of looking at the wind, and only some of the people who ran away in Hanoi City were barely able to fight against the army, but where is our opponent.
In fact, the troops armed with Mauser guns did not need large-scale movement at all, and the later they came, with the shouts of "Lianzhugun is coming", Lima began to run away, and they couldn't catch up, which seemed absurd, but it was very much in line with the characteristics of this era, that is, the fulcrum was insufficient.
During the Han Dynasty, the Central Army had the advantage of weapons and training, and the quality of the armor in Dong Zhuo's hands was excellent even until the end of the Three Kingdoms, and under the system of the Han Dynasty, it was the hierarchy of the emperor-central army-state pastor-local haoqiang-civilians.
And in the so-called Tang Dynasty, the rise of the scholar clan, and even when it came to the establishment of the surname rank, the rank of the Li Tang family could only be the second class, and in order to change this situation, it was natural to try every possible way, and finally came up with a imperial examination system, of course, most of the officials were still nobles to fill the vacancies, and even the royal family did not trust.
In the end, all the military power was given to An Lushan and other foreigners, because they were not afraid of usurping power.
In the period of "I send it away", the situation has changed greatly, the historical scholars have been almost killed, and the situation has become, the imperial power-bureaucrats-landlords-common people, and the bureaucrats and landlords have merged, and after gradually becoming one, the situation has become, the imperial power, landlords, bureaucrats, and the common people, then, the system that could have used the landlords to resist the peasant uprising has been directly faced by the bureaucrats.
In this case, there is no such cushioning effect.
For the bureaucrats, the executive power is in their hands, so why spend their own energy on it? Either bribe the robbers and rebels, send them away with wine and meat as long as they don't make trouble in his territory, or even put the bankrupt into the forbidden army and raise them.
From the very beginning, this system has carried the genes of national extinction and extinction, and it is not without reason.
Li Dakang naturally knows what he should do, half of the people he receives every day are small people from Guangdong and Fujian who are eager to make a fortune, and half are smart people in Vietnam, he found that compared to those guys with some brain problems, although smart people are also greedy, but at least they can communicate, and at the same time, Guangdong Province and Quang Nam Province (formerly Vietnam) are actually very complementary in terms of economy.
This is very amazing, but also interesting enough, Li Dakang remembered the Guangdong friends he had seen before, and wrote a note casually, hoping that the comrades in Guangdong would spread some rumors that eating Vietnamese bananas can complement the form of aphrodisiac, although Guangdong itself produces bananas, but this best outlet to the sea in South China is still a bridgehead for its own reform, as well as a good place for industrial development, as for the planting industry, it is better to leave it to people from other provinces.
Of course, for the Vietnamese locals, Li Dakang has no discrimination and prejudice, and even if there is, he will not do anything in policy, the land occupied by the Zheng clan is open to everyone, and those plantations are also open to the local people of Quang Nam.
Moreover, these things have basically been ordered, and in the future, the elders will not worry about the consumption of these agricultural products, and from the perspective of their desperate multiplication of population, they will consider agricultural products.
Although it is not without resistance, with the joint efforts of coming and going, the purpose of suppression is still perfectly achieved.
The next thing is to run a school, the imperial capital sent over thirty pale students, almost all of them have just reached adulthood or are close to adulthood, in fact, after arriving at the place, they first lay in the house sick for several days, but fortunately, the nutrition can keep up, so there is no attrition.
It is naturally very important to open a school, the French have a lot of enthusiasm for the development of Vietnam in history, Napoleon III's vision is still very unique, Vietnam is developed, then it can radiate to the surrounding area, and the benefits are greatly dropped, but it is a pity that he looked at Prussia around him and looked away, and was finally taken away by Prussia in a wave, and he was not wronged.
In this regard, Chinese culture has a unique advantage.
At the beginning, the school did not teach words, but plantation.
