President Meng believes that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the best opportunity for China to develop capitalism and become a superpower, because a dynasty, whether it was broken, or the Southern Ming Dynasty was finally reborn from the ashes, and the Ming Dynasty was very likely to embark on the road of developing capitalism, because, with the change of dynasties, those princes must be taken away by taking advantage of the situation, and in that way, a large number of free labor will be generated.Whether it is the peasant army or the Ming Dynasty itself, as long as the Han people continue to be in charge of China, the Ming Dynasty has great hope of embarking on the road of capitalism, but unfortunately, the Manchu Qing Dynasty picked up the elk lost by the Ming Dynasty, happened to enter the Central Plains, and suddenly trampled the small seedlings of capitalism that China had developed with great difficulty, and stepped back to the Mongol period three hundred years ago.There were still two days left on the Emperor's trip to England, and he had already negotiated with the German ambassador about the itinerary of his visit to Germany, but the Russian Foreign Minister actually ignored the invitation of the Emperor, and even did not reply to a letter.In the diplomatic arena, the etiquette of meeting each other must be required, even if it is an enemy country, if you contact each other diplomatically, you will not lose a piece of meat to each other.The reason why Duke Maxim Kanunikov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tsarist Russia, refused to even meet with him was that the current Prime Minister of Great Britain, Mr.
Benjamin Disraeli, was secretly discussing with him the matter of Britain and Tsarist Russia using troops in the Central Asian provinces of China.Moreover, the two sides have reached a preliminary intention, and Tsarist Russia has promised that as long as Britain supports 10 million pounds of military spending, Tsarist Russia will definitely send troops within the year.Under these circumstances, it was inconvenient for the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tsarist Russia, Duke Maxim Kanonikov, to come to see the Emperor again.Emperor Hua guessed seventy or eighty percent, and when the Bureau of Statistics sent specific information over, it confirmed Emperor Hua's guess even more."
Your Majesty, the British are really ready to use troops against us."
Princess Katrina Kafu said.President Meng nodded, "In East Asia, Britain has difficult transportation and has no defensible rear base, but in Central Asia, they have a huge Indian Peninsula as a rear, and they must do it." ”"Then what to do now If Tsarist Russia and the British reach an agreement, it is not how we are going to do it, what we should be thinking about now is how to defend, if these two major enemies are sandwiched between the north and the south and hit Central Asia, we will not be able to hold it if we invest all our forces in Central Asia."
Princess Katrina Kaaf reminded.Hua Huang raised his hand, stood up, paced back and forth, and motioned to Princess Katrina Kafu not to speak, he wanted to think about it.Princess Katrina Kafu also silently thought about the situation in front of her, all aspects have plans to do it, Central Asia suddenly became a fire barrel, in fact, when the Chinese Emperor took Central Asia, Princess Katrina Kafu was not very optimistic about being able to gain a long-term foothold here, according to the meaning of Princess Katrina Kaf, plundered in Central Asia, and then returned it to Tsarist Russia, or lost it to the British, by the way, sell it well, after all, it is unrealistic to want to invade China from southern Tibet, and it is difficult for China to expand from the mainland to the outside world.
Similarly, if another country wants to attack China from the mainland, it is actually as difficult as climbing to the sky."
Give the Russians a blow, if they don't reconcile with me, we may cooperate with Britain to take Afghanistan and give up Central Asia."
After thinking for about five minutes, the Emperor said to Princess Katrina Kafu while looking at the garden outside St.
James's Palace.Princess Katrina Kaf's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is still open-minded, if this is the case, Tsarist Russia will definitely look for us, compared to the European powers, we are much less of a threat than the British." ”Hua Huang smiled, "Yes, we don't have to fight, the situation is a fight, then fight, I can't fight at all, and in the process of giving up, get a sum of money, and when I change stores."
After all, we have built a large number of railways in Central Asia for more than a year, and this land has been speculated, who is not greedy" "Your Majesty really has such an idea" Princess Katrina Kafu asked happily, if the Chinese Emperor really has the intention of giving up Central Asia, she thinks it is very good, after all, after getting the huge Siberia, Huaguo's industry is developing again, there are rich mineral resources, just Huaguo's own slow development, it is enough to catch up with the economy of the great powers, according to Princess Katrina Kaf's idea, there is a thirty or forty years, The possibility of catching up with Britain is very great, and it is certainly much more stable to catch up without external expansion, and with the current strength of China, expansion must be insufficient and self-preservation, there is no problem at all.President Meng glanced at Princess Katrina Kaf, smiled and shook her head, "You, you still don't know me, how can I really think like this, if I want to fry the land and then give it away, why do I need to spend so much energy on construction, why do I need to engage in such a large-scale population replacement, it is to help development, and to provide human resources, and there is no problem."
It's just a false shot, and even if you don't think so, you have to make everyone feel that we're thinking that.The more fully prepared and for war we have, the shorter and hastily prepared the enemy for war, and the later we know our true intentions, the more favorable it will be to our balance of war. ”The first major population replacement in China was to empty most of the people of North Korea and put them in Central Asia, and most of the people in Siberia to Central Asia, and then transfer the people from China to fill these two major blocks, and at the same time transfer the Han people to Central Asia Province, so as to complete the transformation of Central Asia Province into a province of China in the fastest possible time.The colonial path taken by the major powers, and the path taken by the Hua Huang directly became a part of the Chinese state, there is also an essential difference here.Princess Katrina Caaf sighed, "If you want people to think so, I understand, I'll arrange it right away."
Your Majesty, I think that if this rumor is released, Britain and Tsarist Russia should treat Your Majesty as a guest.Both countries want to seize Central Asia, and if China pretends to give up Central Asia, there will naturally be no basis for cooperation. ”President Meng frowned, "Diplomatic matters are actually easy to do, but what I'm worried about is that we are going to give up the fake move of Central Asia, which may affect the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in China, especially the Central Asian Province, and will shake people's hearts." ”"Yes, since it is a feint, it cannot be penetrated both externally and internally, and it is indeed difficult to carry out large-scale material preparations for the country under the cover of a feint."
Princess Katrina Kafu worried.China is currently in the initial stage of consolidating and developing capitalism, which is very difficult for a country that has been ruled by feudalism for thousands of years, and for a country that is nine out of ten agriculture, this transformation is very difficult, especially for the implementation of capitalist development policies throughout the country, but only more than two years, which is too short.It is equivalent to saying that the current situation of Chinese society is still only a small seedling, and this little seedling can withstand the storm brought by the Chinese emperor's hand, and the war can promote the rapid development of industry and capitalism, which has been confirmed by history, but there is also the threat of pulling out the seedlings and promoting the growth of premature life.In the previous land of China, there were a large number of land annexations in each dynasty, and the soil for incubating capitalism was produced, but the ancient history of China was like this, and the primitive accumulation of capital was the land annexation led by China's dignitaries and nobles, but this was the product of collusion between officials and businessmen, so it was wiped out in the process of the peasant movement, and there was no time for further development.In the dynasties before the Chinese Emperor, land annexation produced a large number of cheap urban populations, but these people were very few recruited into the handicraft industry, and most of them were reduced to service workers, so they did not promote the development of capitalism.Of course, this is also the case in European countries such as England, where cheap labor can help the handicraft industry develop and gradually replace the existing feudal small-scale peasant production method, which can bring more income to the country no matter how the dynasty changes.However, why did the rulers of China not take the previous measures, why did the displaced people in China become non-handicraftsmen, and could not help the development of capitalism, and the problem of land annexation will be extremely problematic in every dynasty, so that the land contradiction has always been a problem for the henchmen of all dynasties.The stable society of the feudal era was self-sufficient at the bottom, that is, one acre and three points of land to eat and drink.Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, European countries have begun to connect the world as a whole, and the rising countries are relatively small in size, such as the Netherlands, which made a lot of money by selling a fish to trade throughout Europe.Then the world market began to gradually open, the connection strengthened, trade became more frequent, and industry was derived, and industrial raw materials were common in some common agriculture at the beginning, such as wool for textiles and industrial thinking was needed to scale, so there was an enclosure movement.The big landlords in China have to collect land rent, and every year there are some chickens, ducks, fish, and even rare birds such as deer that the farmers respect.And in Europe, in England, the land of southern farmers is used to grow cotton for industrial production.The fundamental reason for the greatest difference between the germination of capitalism in China and that in Europe is not who occupies and annexes the land, but the system of what is produced on the land is served, and why the land production serves determines what the people on the land produce.Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy of the Qing Dynasty developed more slowly, expanded its coverage more slowly, and became more fragmented.It was mainly the degree of centralization of the royal family that stifled the commodity economy.In all Chinese dynasties, the ability of the royal family to centralize power has increased from dynasty to dynasty.The central government's capacity to mobilize and organize social resources is increasing.Even if the Manchus did not establish the Qing Dynasty, then it is also a high probability that the Han people's own dynasty will increase the level of centralization.Under the royal centralization, people had less de facto freedom of exchange, movement, and occupation, which was not conducive to the commodity economy; Under royal centralization, the core rule of commodity trading would not be fair and voluntary.Because if it is fair and voluntary, it will hinder the emperor from "doing great things", and worship those so-called major affairs of the country in Rong.Under the centralization of royal power, the power of local officials to divide the territory is also about large, and the difference is only in the difference and adjustment of the power combination.Under the continuous adjustment of the division of powers, the four levels of government at the central, provincial, prefecture and county levels of government have actually imposed greater and greater restrictions on the common people, but the content of support and services has become less and less.This will lead to the closure of the geographical market.There will be no greater demand for cross-regional transactions and the resulting division of labor.Under the royal centralization, there was a large demand for pure consumption and a serious shortage of production input.Therefore, not much of the budding capitalism before China was for national consumption.If there is no sustained growth of capital, there can be no development of capitalism.Under the royal centralization, how much room will there be for the whole society to support the increase in productive investmentThe commodity economy without capital accumulation is not a budding capitalism.In the history of China, whenever the degree of royal centralization declined, the commodity economy would develop rapidly, such as the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty, and the late Qing Dynasty.The commodity economy of the Ming and Qing dynasties was, in a word, nothing more than official and businessmen.Officials and businessmen, mainly luxury consumption and middle- and upper-class consumption, with various financial economies, are not considered the germ of capitalism.The bureaucrats cannot lead the development of capitalism, because their power can help them to obtain a good income and live a life of fine clothes and food, and only merchants, combined with industry, can become capitalists.Since the abolition of feudalism and the establishment of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty, Huaxia has been a society in which officials have the final say, and feudal aristocrats can also play a role, but they cannot have the final say.Therefore, China has always been an official society, and the unification of the official family is easy to stifle all kinds of historical possibilities, and the most important thing is to stifle the possibility of capitalist development.All dynasties in China were peasant societies, an emperor, a group of officials, the peasants were scattered, they could not hold a group, and the idea of being less than the top and more than the bottom has always been dominant, and the ruling class will be satisfied as long as everyone is honest and a good citizen.Farmers are closed to information and generally admit their accounts.On such a basis, capitalism will certainly not develop.But with the development of industry and commerce, the bosses were well-informed, could afford money, and had a dense network, then feudal rule could meet its opponents.In Western Europe, there are many towns and cities, and each piece of territory is independent of each other and evenly matched, and suddenly there is a sudden change in the system on a piece of territory, and a city commune is established, or businessmen pay to establish a joint defense, maintain internal security, resist external aggression, and set up a board of directors to manage the city and the army.The capitalists controlled the violence, established laws in their favor, and capitalism was born and feudalism died out.Capitalism in Western history emerged in the gap between feudalism and the violent equilibrium of territory.The pre-revolutionary society in France was much like that of China, where merchants, workers and peasants belonging to the third estate united to overthrow the king and the aristocracy, and the National Assembly had the final say, which was the way to the demise of France.The peasants lived under the strict control of the Lijia system, they were weak and had little to gain from the government's oppression, but they faced a great risk of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.In this kind of stakes in which the risks of individual resistance far outweigh the benefits, as long as they can make do with it, retreating and forbearance is usually the best survival strategy for farmers.In addition, the level of self-sufficiency of the smallholder economy is high, and the number of transactions with the outside world is small, so it is not very important to endure it.Therefore, small farmers are not harsh on the demand for a just and stable social order, and they are not willing to pay a high price for it.The small peasant economy, which was highly tolerant of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and highly adaptable to the imperial bureaucracy, directly supported the imperial style of rule, just as the breeds of livestock that were tolerant of rough grazing supported extensive pastoral methods, and the small peasant economy also supported the extensive and sluggish management of the empire, and indirectly inhibited the development of industrial and commercial groups that were less tolerant to the imperial way of rule.In addition, the small-scale peasant economy's ability to tolerate corrupt officials and corrupt officials created the potential for the collapse of the empire.Because the extortion of corrupt officials is relatively easy to succeed, the income level of this group is relatively high, which incentivizes a higher proportion of the population to join the ranks of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the degree of incentive and oppression gradually escalates until the existential crisis of ten sheep and nine herds appears, triggering large-scale violent revolt.The fundamental reason why the imperial system has been reincarnated more than ten times without changing its basic structure is that it cannot form a force to break out of the agricultural civilization.Therefore, it is not possible to solve the long-term problem of the relationship between population and resources, nor can it form a social force to construct a new type of political equilibrium, so as to solve the cyclical problem of the degeneration of the ruling group.If the basis of the small-scale peasant economy remains unchanged, the pattern of interests that induces or coerces fundamental changes in the imperial system cannot be formed, and the dynastic cycle will not end.Europe formed a force that broke out of the agrarian civilization.Industry and commerce absorb a large number of people, and the development of industry provides new input factors such as fertilizers and pesticides for agriculture, thereby increasing the level of agricultural output; Developed commerce also ensured the supply of food from outside, supporting the deepening and prosperity of the division of labor between industry and commerce.In this way, the division of labor and specialization promote and support each other, and gradually change the structure of the economy and the structure of the labor force.This new civilization system and its market-colored incentive mechanism transformed people's lifestyles and fertility intentions, and finally reached a basic balance between the population growth rate and the affordability of the mode of production.Unfortunately, these processes failed to unfold in the more than 2,000-year cycle of Chinese empires.In the history of China, the formation and development of industry and commerce were extremely closely related to the government.In the early stages, the large-scale division of industry and commerce itself arose from the needs and directives of the violently endowed groups and the administrative power at their disposal, which was the "industrial and commercial food official" of the Zhou dynasty.On the basis of violence and coercion, government-run industry and commerce monopolize mountains, forests, ponds, and mineral resources, directly occupy and control manpower and material resources, engage in industrial production and internal and external trading activities, and satisfy the needs of the ruling clique for weapons, sacrificial supplies, means of transportation, clothing, food, housing, and other daily necessities.The empire's government-run industry was a brilliant success, producing exquisite sacrificial items, chariots, weapons, ships, magnificent buildings, elaborate handicrafts, and a correspondingly complex system of division of labor.The acting officials of the empire were the direct managers of this system of production.However, however developed the government-run industry and commerce were, it was ultimately a vassal of the empire, a vassal of the political-military organization supported by the surplus products of the small peasant economy.It has no life and development momentum of its own.The government-run industrial production system is also faced with a boundary that is difficult to break through: in the development of its own division of labor and specialization, the more detailed the division of labor, the more complex the system, the longer the agency chain, the higher the management cost, and the lower the benefits brought by the division of labor.When the cost of management is higher than the benefits of the division of labor, the process of division of labor development will be terminated.Different from the government-run industry, the division of labor and development of private industry in the market system is a process of continuous generation of interest subjects.The government-run industry and commerce have only one administrative mind, and the division of labor is like the division and extension of limbs, and there is a risk of information blockage, command failure, and failure to lose the tail.However, when the limbs of the private industry are too long, they will naturally break and generate new interest subjects.As long as the benefits brought by the division of labor are greater than the transaction costs, the process of division of labor and development will continue indefinitely, and there will never be a limit to managerial efficiency and administrative needs.Therefore, Huahuang only grasped the heavy industry as the direct control of the state, and the light industry was all allowed to develop freely by the people, and the State Bank gave support and was committed to building the overall financial system.This is also one of the main reasons for the unprecedented speed of development of China in the hands of the Chinese Emperor is on the road of capitalism, but the core driving force of China has brought the socialist part, which is an element that no country in this era has.Huahuang's current political system is also more interesting, in fact, it is already a concept of one country, two systems, in the northeast, the three new provinces of Siberia, including the northern part of the Zhili region, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan, these places, the implementation is actually already a socialist industrial model, everything is like machine parts, firmly controlled by Huahuang, step-by-step, orderly development, and beyond this, are free economy, whatever the common people develop, protect private property, The state controls the economy of the entire country with a monetary system.Hua Huang holds the Hua Cui Party, which controls heavy industry with one hand and the administrative system with the other, and the administrative system carries money bags.Therefore, Huahuang, as the boss of the country, is actually doing one thing, constantly building and developing the Huacui Party, and since Huahuang was one year old, he has been doing around this matter from beginning to end.Princess Katrina Kafu has been thinking about this question since she knew what Emperor Hua thought, but she didn't have a clue at all.President Moe is thinking about his own limited knowledge of history and his current research on world politics.The two of them glanced at each other, and President Meng squeezed out a warm smile, "You don't have to be under too much pressure, don't worry, I didn't promise you, it's not when you're ready, it's a big deal to give up Central Asia, the sky won't fall." ”t1706231537:
