Doing the right thing at the right time, in the right place, is called opportunity.

Doing the right thing at the wrong time, in the wrong place......

That's called a disaster!

......

Tang Yi needs "the earth is round" to blast a gap between Confucianism and Taoism and China's inherent values for thousands of years, yes.

Tang Yi needs a huge market in Europe and the Middle East to support the gradually saturated industrial capacity of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not wrong.

But not now.

It's the wrong time, the wrong place!

True.

Understanding the earth we live on is an important part of humanity's transition from ignorance to self-awakening, and it is also a sign of a new era.

It doesn't look like a bad thing in any way.

Again, admittedly.

Qi Xuefeng wants to be the Columbus of China and open an era...... In the original course of history, it would take another 400 years for this to occur.

The human desire to move from having enough to eat to exploring the unknown has been accelerated for a full four hundred years......

It can be said that the merit is immeasurable.

But what was the essence of the Age of Discovery?

It's a savage growth that follows the laws of nature!

Survival of the fittest, the jungle eats the strong.

It has opened a new era, and from the perspective of the overall situation of human development, it is indeed a good thing.

However, can the Great Song Dynasty withstand this kind of disorderly evolution?

Under the big waves and sand, can a new future of China be found?

No!

Moreover, there is no second option.

......

————————

Tang Yi is not so noble.

How and how to drive human processes......

How to speed up the earth......

Does human life or death have anything to do with him? The explosion of the earth is the thing!?

Belch......

Explosions don't work...... It really matters.

In short, he is just a "little man with a little insight" - selfish, philistine.

At the very least, it is selfish to one's own country and nation.

Even if it is to promote the process of human beings and speed up the earth, then it must be the Great Song Dynasty and the Han people as the leaders that he willingly takes that step.

Otherwise, don't even think about it, I won't do it!

However, then again, why is Tang Yi so sure? What if Da Song can't do it? Why isn't there a second option?

Quite simply, because history is a bloody fact.

Again, it's definitely the same result.

......

We can take a look at the modern history of Europe and the history of the great empires.

See what they've done?

Stripping away colonial rule, it is basically the rape of two old empires-

Ottoman Turkey and the Qing Empire.

Over the centuries, these two behemoths have been nearly dismembered by silver and violent demolitions.

Ottoman Turkey, which once turned the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea into its own inland lakes, ended up being left with nothing but a loss and could no longer stand up.

And the Qing Empire, known as the richest in the world, was robbed so much that he couldn't even afford to wear pants.

So, here's the problem.

Why can't others get out? Others are seizing the sea, but we are banning the sea and closing the customs?

Even the Netherlands, Portugal and other small places can dominate for a while. We have a heritage of thousands of years, a population of hundreds of millions, and a territory of tens of thousands of miles, so why can't we?

Because a knot, a dead knot!

From the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, this knot could not be untied.

Even from the pre-Qin period, the Central Plains regime was destined to be unable to untie this knot.

If you can't untie this knot, it's a dead end.

Once again, we still have to watch ourselves being slowly overtaken, slowly encroached, slowly trampled on, and ravaged!

This knot is—

Suppress business!

......

——————

From ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, the Central Plains regime pursued the stability of the regime.

And our rulers are too smart, smart enough to know what is the greatest threat under their dragon chair.

That's the businessman.

Therefore, the suppression of business has become an ironclad national policy.

......

Many people know that the Industrial Revolution is the main reason for the opening of the level of civilization between the East and the West, and even the main reason why the Western world is far ahead of the world.

The main body of the industrial revolution is the acceleration of scientific and technological development.

However, many people don't know it.

Many young people in later generations have raised such a question: If we had started industrial reform and developed science and technology during the Ming and Qing dynasties, would the modern history of China be rewritten?

Almost all writers have the same answer – no.

Because of this proposition, it is not valid, and it does not even have the value of the assumption.

Why?

Because the Industrial Revolution is not based solely on technology. Our scientific and technological level is not impossible, it was ahead of the world thousands of years ago, and the industrial revolution is just being overtaken.

The reason why we were not able to launch the industrial revolution in China is that for thousands of years, we have been lacking the other two foundations of the industrial revolution - transportation and modern finance.

These two, together with science and technology, form the three foundations of the Industrial Revolution.

Needless to say, the transportation industry is a concentrated explosion of productive forces, and without a developed transportation network, it cannot form an industrial scale.

Finance, that is, capital, is the brain that governs science, integrates all walks of life, and regulates the distribution of science and technology.

Without modern finance, technology would be nothing more than the dusty Elder Scrolls in the Arizantan Library.

Let's take an example: Western medicine, or modern medicine.

The history of the development of Western medicine is more than 200 years old.

Before the completion of Western medicine, Westerners were far less happy than Han Chinese. After thousands of years of summarization and evolution, our TCM system has entered the realm of Mahayana. And they, whether it is a cold and fever, or a water in the head, AIDS......

One trick is bloodletting....

The old man Washington, the father of the United States, had a fever and was bloodlet to death.

In less than a day, 2,000 milliliters of blood were released.

The total blood volume of the human body is only more than 4,000 ml, and it is almost dry.

You say, "How stupid are you?"

The reason why Western medicine has been able to develop rapidly and become popular in the world is that even Chinese medicine, which has been summarized for thousands of years, has been suppressed...... It can be said that it is thanks to capital!

To put it bluntly, it is profitable.

Without the tendencies of capital, there is no profit, Vesalius's "Theory of Human Structure", Harvey's anatomy of disease, and Whisper's cytopathology...... It's just a family talk.

Including penicillin, it's just in Chang'an City, smearing the wound with moldy slurry, that's all.

Even if Flemin later extracted it manually, he didn't know who he was selling it to.

It is the profit-seeking nature of capital that brings together these people and these achievements.

It is the huge profit of medicine that allows capital to hire a large number of talents in chemistry, physics, materials science, medicine, mathematics, and almost all fields to devote themselves to this industry, and then there is modern medicine today.

Not to mention that Washington will not bleed to death if he has a fever, even if he wants to change his head, it is not impossible......

....

Getting back to the point, now that we know the importance of modern finance, then....

What are the consequences of modern finance?

That is the infinite increase in the status of merchants. In certain periods, merchants even overrode the state.

Just look at the Rothschild family in modern Europe, as well as the three major financial families in the 20th century.

One is the creditor of all Europe, and the other three are the real masters of the country.

......

Now everything is clear, right?

Merchants come first, capital is king...... Will it work in the Central Plains regime?

If you think about it with the back of your feet, you know the answer.

This knot cannot be untied at all.

In other words, from Tang Yi's point of view, before this knot is untied, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to walk on that broad road, let alone change the fate of being plundered and ravaged.

Just like that proposition that does not hold up, it has no value even in its assumptions.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tang Yi went all out to connect the Great Song Water Network and vigorously develop Guanlan Commercial Cooperation, instead of going, making muskets and cannons, and rejuvenating the Song Dynasty with science and technology.

The water network is the transportation industry, and the business is ...... It was the financial system that he had high hopes for to integrate the economy of the Great Song Dynasty.

......

————————

You may think that the Great Song Water Network has been opened, and Guanlan Shanghe also has today's scale, isn't the time ripe?

Wrong, it's far from it!

This is not a question of scale, but the essence of Guanlan and its core competitiveness.

What is the core of Guanlan? What is the reason for its large storage?

It's Tang Yi!

It is his use of the identity of the traverser that supports the merits he has created and his own value.

It is Fan Zhongyan, Wang Deyong, including Zhao Zhen, who are the prestige and coercion of the core of power that are laying the foundation.

To put it bluntly, Guanlan's existence is not because it should exist, but because Tang Yi's gang forcibly carried it.

So......

One day Tang Yi hung up?

What about Fan Zhongyan and Wang Deyong?

Zhao Zhen is scared?

There's only one ending left for it—

Demise.

Like an epiphany, it bloomed, bloomed, and finally disappeared into the world, as if it had never been there.

......

That's right, Tang Yi hasn't even solved this fundamental problem now, and he hasn't even found a way out of the contradiction between the status of a businessman and the imperial power.

What else is there to talk about finance?

What industrial power to talk about?

What is the Age of Discovery?

And!!!

The current Great Song Dynasty has not been able to take the step of establishing finance and improving business suppression. Because the Great Song Dynasty didn't talk about going out healthily, he hadn't even done it yet!

......

Take a look at the current situation of Da Song:

The only army of 200,000 that can fight a war can't move in the north, so what kind of national prestige can be used to expand externally?

Even the implementation of the new policy has to be cautious, and when the saying "the earth is round" is brought back by Qi Xuefeng, what energy does Tang Yi have to learn how to fight with the rotten Confucians of the Manchu Dynasty?

Whether it's Da Liao or Western Xia. These two opponents are at hand, and they have to rely on Tang Yi to play small tricks to contain them, what strength do you have to conquer the sea of stars?

That small boat of American seeds has just been transported back and has not been planted, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are still not full, so what strength can they use to return the humiliation they once had?

......

And Qi Xuefeng's eastward direction is not only not the right time for the "world to be round" to come back, but also ......

Westerners will know that in the far East there is a great empire of gods, full of gold; On the other side of the sea, there is also a large virgin land, mysterious and rich.

The subjects of the Great Song Dynasty will also know that the other side of the sea is not the edge of the sky, but the golden mountain. All the way to the west, in addition to the yellow sand, there are also business opportunities.

Will the Great Song Dynasty, an old empire full of holes, not have time to save itself, and be torn apart and shattered between these two big waves!

Tang Yi didn't dare to think about it.

The only thing he knew now was...... Rob.

Rush for time!

Pick up the pace and make every effort to remedy it before it gets out of hand.

......

————————

I think this chapter is a little watery.

However, many book friends asked in the book review area before, why don't you climb the science and technology tree for such a novice? Why don't you make this and that?

Today is an answer.

The advancement of civilization has its order, not that with a gun it is invincible, and with a steam engine, it is considered an industrial revolution.

It's not that he doesn't make it, but Cangshan has his own ideas and wants to write as reasonable as possible.

......

It should be there for a while, right?

I tried my best.

I also know that you have done your best, and the two-day monthly pass is really powerful.

Thank you!

Finally, I would like to say a word, those who care about my book friends, and those who are afraid that I will fall again, thank you for your concern!

In a word, Cangshan is not fighting, but enjoying.

In addition to the pleasure brought by the codeword, I also enjoy playing the game of "I deceived you" with laughter and scolding at the end of the chapter.

This is the state I want to write, and I have fun doing it!
