Chapter 515: Find the dumping ground first
Chapter 515: Find the dumping ground first
The power of industrialization, Yang Reform is not unknown, but how to know, industrialization is not a specific person, nor is it a specific thing, nor a specific image, and there is no process that can be imitated, only an abstract text is there, just a word copied from a textbook, to make industrialization manifest in this world, it is not just a matter of getting some information, just a little Baidu, the kind of "ideal" state that can achieve industrialization by opening your mouth, has never appeared in this world.
If industrialization were so simple, then China's history would not be two thousand years of feudal history; If industrialization could be achieved with a word, there would not be only a handful of "permanent members" among the nations of the 21st century, let alone even fewer countries that could afford to play with the top technology of space.
Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor and didn't understand why the emperor laughed so loudly, the emperor's explanation was barely reasonable, but did this have to be so "hand in hand"? Is it necessary to be "crazy"? Even if these factories can accommodate some disaster victims, can this compare to the millions of immigrants? Millions of immigrants have never seen the emperor so happy, could it be that behind what the emperor did, there is a deeper meaning, what is behind this, is it more important than millions of immigrants? More insane?
"Your Majesty,...... Can this be a solution for the minister, in which, there is a deeper meaning? Sun Chengzong couldn't see through the mystery of this, so he asked the emperor for advice.
"Hahaha......" Yang laughed. I understand, I can also tell Sun Chengzong what I will do, but I can't tell him that the purpose of giving birth to these industries is to get a steam engine higher than the steam engine and get a train out, in this way, I can't justify myself, if I say it, Sun Chengzong will only be more confused, and Yang Reform can only laugh to cover it up.
"......" Sun Chengzong still looked at the emperor in confusion.
"In addition to giving birth to the carriage manufacturing industry, I am also preparing to build a new Shanghai...... Yang Reform began to change the topic, the core content is really impossible to say, but I can talk about what I do.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, Your Majesty intends to collect the world's business, the tax of the customs, this Shanghai is indeed an important part, if you can build Shanghai, he day, Shanghai will also become a tax center of our dynasty, as Your Majesty said, when it is a pearl on the sea......" Sun Chengzong wondered and listened to the emperor say that the construction of a new Shanghai, can only follow the emperor's topic, he knows about the new Shanghai, the emperor did not hide from him, for the emperor to build a tax land, he also supports, now the military spending alone is rising every year, this money is like flowing water, If you don't find a reliable source of tax income, it is really difficult for people to live in peace, and learning the former Song Dynasty customs and business second tax is the best choice at present.
"I am also planning to expand the shipyard and build more ship......yards," Yang said again, adding to the importance of shipbuilding. Although it may seem that the shipbuilding and horse-drawn carriages are not so sidelined, in fact, what are the consequences of industrialization? It is a steady stream of industrial products, commodities not only to be made from the factory, but also to be sold, so as to obtain profits, this is undoubtedly, the transportation industry is a very important constraint, without convenient and powerful transportation industry, how to sell the huge amount of goods produced in the factory? Without sea vessels, how can you dump goods on other countries? Plundering profits? With sea ships, how can you protect yourself without warships? This link is linked one by one, and thousands of trickles converge to push Yang Reform to the door of today's industrial gate.
"Your Majesty, this is a good ......" Sun Chengzong's brain began to run out, and he had been fooled by the emperor, these are all very important, but is it really just as simple as accommodating the victims? Is this really the case, is it necessary for the emperor to be like that?
When Yang Reform said this, his words were also blocked, and he couldn't explain many things to Sun Chengzong in detail, what is industrialization? What is heavy industry again? How do you explain this steam engine? How do you explain this train? What is dumping?
"Master Sun, how is the situation in this Wa Kingdom? Can Master Sun tell me about it? Yang Reform thought about it for a while, and then turned the topic to Japan, and Yang Reform, who didn't know where to start for a while, could only change a topic casually.
"...... the Wa Kingdom?" Sun Chengzong was dumbfounded, this turned too fast, he was still talking about domestic affairs just now, why did he suddenly turn the topic to the Wa Kingdom? ,
"Exactly, I want to hear about the current situation in the Wa Kingdom." Yang Gengai asked with a smile, since his industrialization is about to start, it is obvious that he has to find some dumping places for the sea-like goods, of course this country cannot run, this industrialization and the consequences of industrialization cannot be explained to Sun Chengzong, so you might as well find a similar ready-made example to talk to Sun Chengzong.
ββ¦β¦ Back to Your Majesty, I have now received information from the Military Intelligence Bureau that although the Wa Kingdom is nominally the king of the Wa Kingdom, in fact, since the Korean War with our dynasty, all parts of the Wa Kingdom have fallen into internal strife, each doing its own thing, attacking each other, and it is really very chaotic. Sun Chengzong hurriedly changed his brain, and told the emperor about the Japanese country, and now the military intelligence bureau, the scope of intelligence collection of Jinyiwei can be seen quite widely, north to the Mongolian desert, to the east, east to Korea, the Japanese country, Ryukyu, south to the Great Ryukyu to Annam, to the Nanyang countries, west to the Moxi tribes, all countries, all involved, this is also the earlier emperor has been emphasizing and requesting, but also the direct reason for the rise in the cost of the entire "Jinyiwei" now, therefore, now the emperor asks, Sun Chengzong may answer immediately.
"War? Hehe, that's right...... Hehe, this is a good thing......" Yang Reform listened to Sun Chengzong's words, and what he said was really right, in his memory, Japan was at war at this time.
"A good thing? Your Majesty, if there is internal turmoil and the prestige of the king is lost, how can it be a good thing? In this way, if our dynasty wants to order the Japanese state, isn't it difficult, even if the Japanese king agrees, then the generals in the following places may not listen to the Japanese king, of course, if the Japanese civil strife is said, it is indeed a good thing, at least our dynasty does not have to worry about aiding the DPRK again, but, it is also more necessary to beware of the Japanese country, this Japanese civil strife, the people must be miserable, this pirates will be rampant again...... "Sun Chengzong, as a bachelor in charge of intelligence, also began to analyze the pros and cons of this Japanese civil strife on the Ming Dynasty. The benefits of investing a huge amount of money in Jinyiwei were revealed, and the intelligence around the Ming Dynasty began to be complete.
"Hehe, it's good that there's a war there, didn't I just say that it would give birth to the steel industry? This steel industry was born, and it is necessary to find some sales for steel. It just so happens that I can sell some weapons and earn some silver to support my people......" Yang Gai said disapprovingly.
"Sell weapons to the Wa Kingdom?" Sun Chengzong was really dumbfounded, didn't the emperor intend to make a move against the Wa Kingdom? How can this be done to sell weapons to them?
"Yes, sell weapons to them, of course, when the cold weapons such as swords are the mainstay, you can properly match some firearms, such as Ouchi ......," Yang said.
"Ouchi-made? Your Majesty, why is that? Sun Chengzong asked puzzled, the emperor's thinking was too different from his.
"Didn't Master Sun say it? The Wa kingdom is in civil strife, and various places are attacking each other? How big is the kingdom of the Wa, and it has been divided into countless smaller territories, and I sell them weapons, so that I can influence the course of their attack? Whoever I want to win, I will sell him more weapons, and whoever I want to lose, I will sell more weapons to his enemies, so that I can easily control the situation in the Japanese kingdom? Isn't that more useful than giving a decree to the useless king? Yang reformed and explained.
"Then Your Majesty, even if you control the Wa Kingdom, what about it? The Wa Kingdom is a wild land, and it is very poor, so His Majesty has gone to such great lengths to sell some weapons and earn some silver? Sun Chengzong was even more puzzled.
"Hehe, this is not simple, after controlling the Wa Kingdom, I will let the Wa Kingdom transport grain to our dynasty, and my dynasty is not short of food now?" Yang Gengai explained with a smile.
"Ahh Sun Chengzong was dumbfounded, it took such a big move just for food? That Wa country is poor haha, how much grain can he have, and he will not eat it and transport it to the Ming Dynasty, which is ...... Sun Chengzong's mind was really a little messy today, he carefully sorted out his thoughts, and suddenly said strangely: "Your Majesty, isn't it because you have taken a fancy to the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom?" Want to keep those gold and silver pits for yourself? Sun Chengzong remembered that the emperor was quite interested in the gold and silver pits of our country before, and perhaps this was the emperor's goal.
"Oh, hehehe, yes, this I am determined to win, Master Sun also knows, the gold and silver mined by my dynasty is really not much, only one or two hundred thousand taels a year, if I get the gold and silver pit of the Wa Kingdom, the annual output of gold and silver, not to mention more than one million, there is so much silver as reserve silver, I can issue more banknotes......" Yang Reform smiled again, now everything is clear at a glance, industrialization is about to start, this raw materials, origin, products, workers, technology, sales, The problem of dumping must be solved, and the monster of "industrialization" must not be fed short, and all acts that hinder the circulation of commodities are its own enemies, and it is necessary to find more feeding places for this monster, and Japan naturally cannot let it go. ,
"So, Your Majesty is going to take action against the Wa Kingdom?" Sun Chengzong believed, and did not have much resistance to the emperor to fight the Japanese state, as the emperor said, now there is no silver, he can't live in the first place, the cost of the new army every year, a few Ming taxes are not enough, do not make up for these deficits from other places, the Ming Dynasty itself will fall apart, as for other benevolence, righteousness and morality, Sun Chengzong does not want to mention it to the emperor.
"Of course, now that the navy has begun to take shape, idleness is idleness, fighting the Japanese country can be regarded as exercise, and it is better to get some silver from the Japanese country, isn't it?" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"This ......," Sun Chengzong agreed with the emperor's point of view suspiciously.
"Master Sun, do you know why now?" Yang asked reform.
"Why? The minister is really stupid, he really doesn't understand. Sun Chengzong was even more confused.
"Master Sun knows about the formation of a maritime trade network." Yang Reform said again.
"This minister knows." Sun Chengzong said.
"My plan is to collect the world's industrial and commercial tariffs, and this Master Sun knows it." Yang Gai said, Yang Gai found that he had found a little explanation of what industrialization is.
"This minister knows." Sun Chengzong said.
"So, the 'tax-payable' businessman has to overpower the traditional businessman, right?" Yang asked again.
"This minister understands." Sun Chengzong said again, this is really not difficult to understand, isn't it just looking for silver?
"This maritime trade network is a weapon to nurture these merchants, isn't it?" Yang Reform also said, to put it bluntly, it is to find a dumping ground for industrialized goods.
"Back to Your Majesty, this minister can understand." Sun Chengzong said again.
"Isn't this over, this country is an important part of the maritime trade network, of course, it must be in my hands, so this country must fight ......," Yang said.
ββ¦β¦ But, Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty rein in Zheng Zhilong, and he agreed to give up the trade of the Wa Kingdom? Why did Your Majesty still fight? "Sun Chengzong has more questions.
"Hehe, although Zheng Zhilong said that he monopolized the trade of the Japanese State, but in fact, it is different from what I said about controlling the Japanese State, Zheng Zhilong at most took advantage of the convenience of sea ships and did not allow other people's ships to go to the Japanese State, in fact, he had no influence on the Japanese State, and even in front of the local forces of the Japanese State, he had to grovel, how could this situation work? If the Wa Kingdom closed itself off and did not allow trade, then even if it monopolized the trade of the Wa State, what could it do? Zheng Zhilong has no way to force the local forces of the Wa Kingdom to do things, so this Wa State must be opened to him, he must be trampled on the soles of his feet, I can sell whatever I want to sell to the Wa Kingdom, and I have the final say, instead of waiting for the rich landowners of the Wa Kingdom to agree to what I sell, the difference is very big, Master Sun said? Yang Reform said with a smile, the same is the control of the Japanese country, the difference between controlling the sea route and controlling the Japanese mainland is quite large, Yang Reform remembers, Japan is gradually closing off the country at this time, if you don't use artillery to blast him away, then don't you have to ask those Japanese monkeys to let you do business? Do you still want this face? What else is this business going to do? Isn't this dumping just an empty phrase? Isn't the industrialized monster one less place to eat meat?
"This ......" Sun Chengzong immediately woke up to the huge difference, this is a big problem, if you don't screen it carefully, how difficult is it to find out, now that you tell the emperor, the situation is clear.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, and the minister agrees with what Your Majesty said." Sun Chengzong figured it out, so he agreed with the emperor, and the emperor wanted the gold and silver pit of the Japanese kingdom, and wanted to control the world's industrial and commercial tariffs, and this trade network must be built very strong, which is right.
"Then Master Sun, when is it better to go to the Wa Kingdom......" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take some time, now Lei and Shang are still going to Nanjing to receive ships, after receiving them, they have to go back to Liaodong, I'm afraid that they won't be able to come back in a month or two, and when they come back, they have to collect the sea power, build the navy that Your Majesty said, only in this way can they go to the Japanese country, and only when the relationship is straightened out, can they go out! If His Majesty's sea power has not been collected, then whose names will Lei and Shang hang on? In what name to go out? Your Majesty, you have to go step by step on this road! Sun Chengzong immediately reminded Yang Reform that the road still has to be taken step by step, and there is no hurry.
"Hehehe, that's right, I almost forgot ......" Yang Reform was a little embarrassed, the Ming Dynasty's brainless militia and navy policy, now it can be seen as the biggest constraint to prevent the navy from going out, the sea power must be hung under the jurisdiction of local governors and other magistrates, there is this rule, the navy is a militia navy, and if you want to fight Japan, there is no door, what you have to do now is to wait for the warships to receive, and the navy has a basic appearance, so that the navy can be freed from the shackles of the governors and magistrates, become a force under the control of a country or the emperor, then, to attack Japan, it has nothing to do with the magistrates, this road, it is really necessary to go step by step. ,
In the late Ming Dynasty, the promotion of industrialization, which subsidized the construction of horse-drawn carriages and gave birth to the machinery manufacturing industry, was undoubtedly a key to open this door.
Opened this door, a new world, a clearly visible, veined world presented in front of Yang reform, no longer the previous kind of east hammer, west hammer excavation to the road to industrialization, not to mention the previous kind of industrialization that occasionally emerges from the clouds, as ethereal and vague, now, there is a practical and is a best entry point, industrialization, finally no longer a dream, or an occasional glimpse.
Subsidizing the manufacture of horse-drawn carriages is the simplest, but also the best entry point. The process of industrialization thus promoted is "visible", "predictable", "intervenable" and "masterable".
Industrialization that cannot be mastered is not considered industrialization, for example, the "industrialization" of the late Qing Dynasty is a typical industrialization that is not in the hands of "oneself".
Visible, subsidized carriages, the carriage factory is in their own hands, the steel for the production of new carriages is also in their own hands, the raw materials of this steel, although they are not in their own hands now, but they are now capable of taking this in their own hands, the entire industrial chain is under their own control, a certain link has a problem, they can easily find out where the problem is, and guide it, which is visible.
Foreseeable, the consequences of subsidies are predictable, subsidies will inevitably give birth to the rapid development of the carriage industry, followed by the rapid development of the steel industry, followed by the rapid development of the smelting coal industry, and the development of coal and metallurgical steel industry, will undoubtedly give birth to the train, the industrial revolution, almost just around the corner, this is foreseeable.
Through the huge consumer market of the Ming Dynasty, industrialization will develop rapidly, and all kinds of dumping places are the food to feed the monster of industrialization.
The context of it all is so clear, and now it all starts with subsidizing the carriage industry. Push open the heavy door of industrialization.
The time, place, and people needed for industrialization have all been accounted for. Promote the process of industrialization, you have the ability to master; Enjoying the fruits of industrialization is also in their own hands, and all the efforts made before finally converge into a coherent river and begin to trickle.
