Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1336 Intimidated by the Philadelphia Conference ([-])
This is the key point of Dashun's North American strategy.

Among other things, Dashun was well aware of the ability of this "good family of self-cultivating farmers" to expand and cultivate.

In the closed terrain of North America, Dashun took himself as a lesson, and he was even more like a mirror in his heart.

China has reclaimed all the surrounding land that is convenient for cultivation, and with the introduction of crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, even mountainous areas like Guizhou have not been spared.

If there is no restraint, given the terrain of North America, it must be divided for a long time.

Who can fight?
Can the self-cultivator be a good family?
Or can the manor serfs in Spain fight?

Dashun knew this very well.

If there is no restraint in this closed terrain, there must be a country that can be one.

With a temperate climate, two big rivers, and private ownership by self-cultivators, Dashun himself is very clear about these things. In the era of iron ox farming and ridge farming, it is really the capital to dominate the mainland.

Dashun really doesn't care about Europe.

Whether it is the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, they don't care.

The only worry is that France, especially Spain, is also of the same family, and they are all Catholic.

So this time, even if it forms an alliance with France, it still drags France and never lands in the UK, in case France dominates and becomes a great cause.

Dashun had already started to have a village population on the west coast of North America through the fur trade before, but it was too late, and the Pacific Ocean was far beyond the reach of the Atlantic Ocean.

On the whole, Dashun's mentality is purely a shit-stick mentality of "If I can't get it, others can't get it".

Of course, for Dashun, it is not without advantages to compete for hegemony in North America.

It can even be said that if you see it with a clear eye, the advantage is huge.

As the saying goes, misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune.

Indeed, the Pacific Ocean is much wider than the Atlantic Ocean, and Dashun immigrants are inconvenient, and quite inconvenient.

But, again, the gold and silver mines in North America are all on the west coast, not the east coast.

If the gold and silver mines in North America were to go in a different direction, good arable land was all on the west coast, and gold and silver mines were all on the east coast, then Dashun would really have no chance at all.

If that is the case, it is designated that the east coast will be quickly filled by Europe because of the gold and silver mines.Along with the increase in population, the westward reclamation began.

However, the reality is like this.

There is arable land on the east coast.

There is gold and silver on the West Coast.

If there is only arable land on the west coast, Dashun really has no chance at all.

Those who have money refuse to go, those who have no money cannot go, and the round-trip ticket will completely ruin Dashun's last chance to carve up North America.

However, even if Dashun is more than a hundred years late, even if the Pacific Ocean is too wide.

However, the gold and silver on the west coast still gave Dashun a chance to take the last train.

But this opportunity requires a very delicate operation.

Otherwise, the opportunity will turn into a crisis, and there are not enough people, and a wave of people will be overwhelmed.

With the current population of Dashun on the west coast of America, if Liu Yu had announced that he had discovered a large gold mine on the west coast...

The fun would be great.

The millions of people on the east coast could directly slaughter the population that Dashun had managed to save on the west coast.And across the Pacific Ocean, Dashun could only catch up.

Therefore, how to resolve the crisis and grasp the opportunity requires a very delicate layout.

From the beginning, Liu Yu engaged in Korean ginseng, and La France engaged in ginseng and mink fur trade.

Then go to Dashun Whale Sea Company to catch sea dragon skins, first dig gold on a small scale from the Yukon River, and then get stuck in Honolulu and the West Coast for reclamation because of the grain needed for gold digging.

Including this time, insisting on pulling North America to prevent North America from separating from the United Kingdom is to turn a crisis into an opportunity.

Not to mention France, Dashun really pulled France to engage in Romance of the Three Kingdoms in North America.

And Dashun actually insisted on such a "kind heart" that the thirteen states should not separate from the UK, and there was a lot of evil hidden in it.

Contradictions can be suppressed for a while, but they cannot be suppressed for a lifetime.

The more pressure, the bigger the problem.

The bigger the problem, the bigger the conflict between North America and the UK.

And this contradiction is unsolvable.

This is what Lao Ma said about the chronic disease of colonization:

[The dispossession of the people from their land is the basis of the capitalist method of production.But the essence of colonizing a colony is that each colonist can turn part of that land into his own private property]

[This is the reason for the prosperity of the colony colony]

[It is also a chronic disease of colonization—the resistance of the petty bourgeoisie to the colonization of capital]

This is why Liu Yu insisted on "kindly" leaving the thirteen states to Britain. This fundamental contradiction can only be temporarily suppressed, not eliminated.

North America is not worthy of being called capitalism at this time.

There is a shortage of money to use shells, corn, tobacco, and even paper money; homeowners are everywhere; small producers, blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons are everywhere; British capital has basically controlled the southern states by relying on loans... How can North America at this time What about capitalism?
Britain, on the other hand, has silver, capital, a stock exchange, speculators, financial capital, and even industrial capital.

The resistance of the petty bourgeoisie to colonial capital is inevitable.

Dashun's move this time was just to suppress this resistance and alleviate this contradiction, and the core things did not change at all.

The core thing is private ownership and land sales.

Taking Virginia as an example, it is easy to understand what is going on with this contradiction.

Virginia tobacco.

Tobacco eats the fields very badly. In the era without chemical fertilizers, it is impossible to slow down after planting tobacco for three years without resting for ten years.

The tobacco trade is controlled by the big businessmen and big capitals in the UK.

Growing tobacco requires capital investment.

This is the same all over the world.

Historically, when the colonists planted flue-cured tobacco in Shandong, such a situation often occurred: Tobacco was expensive, so tobacco was grown; Producers can only borrow money. After borrowing, they hope that the tobacco can be sold at a good price and repay the principal and interest; borrowing requires mortgage, and the mortgage can only be land; Compensation for death, the mortgaged land goes to the lender...

If this kind of thing happens in Binzhou, Shandong, then the land is gone, so let's go to work.Go to the tobacco field to pick tobacco leaves to work, or to carry shredded tobacco to work-there is no land in Shandong, even in the next five years, there will be a general mobilization in Peixian County, and more than 6 young and strong will be mobilized in Weishan from more than a dozen communes The matter of the lake is just for land.

Hasn't this capitalism developed?
But if this kind of thing happened near Binzhou in North America, there is still a way to survive - there is still wasteland, go to cultivate it, and you can become a small producer after working for ten years.

However, the earth is not unlimited.

This leads to such a phenomenon, namely, the encroachment of small producers by capitalism.

Tobacco merchants in London gain profits by manipulating the purchase price of tobacco.

Scottish finance capital and usurers acquired land by lending money to tobacco growers.If the money is not paid, then the land has to be paid back.

Local gentry such as Washington took loans from London financiers, or used their military service status to speculate on land and occupy wasteland.

Wasteland is worthless.

However, growing tobacco requires continuous new land, which requires the purchase of wasteland and virgin land for planting.

Therefore, the worthless wasteland is valuable.

The land speculators earned their money back.

Why is it called a contradiction between the petty bourgeoisie and capitalism?

If there is no capitalism and trade system, there will be no financial capital and commercial capital blending in London.

Washington and others are mentally ill, spending money to farm a large piece of wasteland?

They are all owner farmers and small producers, and they can all obtain their own piece of land through reclamation. Can land speculation make money?

Thus, such a vicious circle was formed: the small tobacco farmers in Virginia went bankrupt, and the land belonged to Scottish financial capital.Of course, growing tobacco does not mean losing money as a whole, so some people will go west to buy and reclaim new wasteland, and the land speculators who hoard the land will make money, so they continue to go west to enclose more land.

Land mergers along the eastern coast have already begun.

The yeoman who lost their land began to move westward.

Land speculators moved further west earlier to enclose land in advance.

This model is just an example of the tobacco industry, and the impact of capitalism on the petty bourgeois is in all aspects.

These contradictions cannot disappear.Instead, it will get deeper.

Especially if Dashun and France are stuck in the west and north, they are not allowed to go west—of course, this kind of blocking depends on the help of muskets, cannons, and Indians, as well as the crucial fur trade.

Originally, the large amount of wasteland in the west made it possible for petty bourgeois to survive.Moreover, the selling price of the wasteland occupied by land speculators in advance is not too high, after all, there is still in the west.

However, after the west side was blocked.

The invasion of European capitalism starting from the east coast - under the ownership system of private ownership of land that can be bought and sold, will rapidly intensify the contradictions.

On this point, Dashun absolutely forced the door to clear up. If the many annexation policies, various gold and silver banknote controls, and Songsu's many land policy reforms are relaxed, what will happen based on the so much silver that Songsu has brought in these years? Dashun is too clear about the matter.

Because Dashun itself is privately owned and land can be bought and sold, it is impossible not to understand this set of things.

Now, Dashun seems to be "so lenient" that he actually helps Britain stay in North America.

In fact, it buried a big thunder that would blow up in the future and shake the world.

It didn't touch the fundamental ills and contradictions of colonization at all, it just suppressed the contradictions for the time being, and waited for it to explode in the future.

And when it explodes, it will give Dashun time to turn the gold and silver mines on the west coast into its own, and use this buffer period to ensure enough population to keep it.

As for how to blow it up, how to stir it up when needed...

The people in Dashun really do not understand the Bible, nor do they understand this school or that school.

However, the people in Dashun know all too well about private ownership, land annexation, land enclosure by merchants, land speculation, land acquisition by lending...and petty bourgeois resistance to capitalism.

Europeans must not understand this set of things as well as Dashun, because most of Europe at this time still has aristocratic land systems, serfs, manors, strip fields, and share fields.

Those people in old Europe knew petty bourgeois ownership with a hammer before the law revolution divided the land?

Do you know the first edition of City on a Hill that says "land to the tiller, harvest for every labor, enlightenment by tangible sages, farmers and workers above merchants, and despise merchants and moneylenders"?
The point is that Dashun is not ready yet.

It's better to bury this mine first, and then detonate it when needed.

It is not a good thing for Dashun to incite North America to become self-reliant now.

France really dominates, not to mention—because of France’s wonderful industrial independent thinking; a set of industries such as lacquer ware and silk left by Colbert that conflicts with Dashun, and even lacquer ware can pass off real ones as Chinese artisan bases, There is also Lyon's silk industry; strict tariff protectionism and protection of domestic industries, Dashun is more difficult than Britain to keep France from dominating Europe.

With the help and oppression of Dashun and France, Britain did not even have the ability to suppress.

Lively and peacefully get North America out, create millions of self-cultivated farmers, without the restraint of the suzerain country, open up wasteland and reclaim the frontier to the west, and Dashun is about to cry in the west.
