Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1445 The dead end of the emperor's improvement

Although this set of "scriptures" is crooked to the extreme, and now there is a clear tendency.

However, Liu Yu is not a prophet, so he cannot control the development of the Dashunshi School.

Social existence, social consciousness; economic base, superstructure.

Here lies the reality.

History is also here.

The people-oriented thought of Confucianism is still here.

These things, the trend of thought of the Dashunshi School evolved from these things, must be crooked.

But Liu Yu didn't care.

Since you believe it, it is a fantasy and cannot be realized.

Then, in the continuous struggle in the future, nature will also be shattered, history will develop in twists and turns, and the broad masses of people will promote social change in struggles of different intensities.

The Dashun Dynasty is dying.

These pragmatists' utopias will also die.

It may even be before these violent deaths, Liu Yu's so-called "the most cunning, insightful and cunning feudal ruler" will stand up and take control of the situation, doing an enhanced version of Nasanyi or Beihui.

However, it doesn't matter.

The situation in Dashun is very special. Liu Yu's reforms over the years have ensured that when Dashun undergoes drastic internal changes, no external forces will interfere, and it can even be said that the entire world is powerless to interfere.

At most, if you return to Malacca, it will be as good as the sky.It is unlikely to be pushed to the door of the house, or even landed in Dagukou.

This made Beihui's trick, even if it played well for a while, it would eventually be overthrown.

And in the same way, the enhanced version of taking three... It should be said that this is the most likely.

It mainly refers to the aspects of industrial development and industrial coup.

Historically, Nasan was a believer of Saint-Simon. After he took office, he relied on Saint-Simon's two principles to build the giant "Credit de France".

This makes the French financial industry, under the intervention of the state, develop rapidly, far exceeding the development of French industry.

External expansion will make people explode in Sedan.

In the external market, the UK has the first-mover advantage.

The internal market, France is too small, the small-scale peasant economy, and the lack of places like the Ruhr area.

Europe is catching up with the development period again, and France cannot squeeze into the markets of those big countries.

Inward investment, no investment.

Saint-Simon's idea is good: set up a giant industrial and commercial credit bank as the "hand" of industrial policy, so that money can flow to the industry.

But the result...

The results are well known.

It's dumbfounding.

Taking industrialism as the trend of thought triggered the great development of the French Industrial and Commercial Credit Bank's financial industry. In the end, France was not famous for its industry.

Instead, a proper term was mixed up - usury imperialism.

This sounds far from industry.

This is no longer going astray, but completely going the opposite direction.

Dashun didn't have to worry about this.

First, the market is huge.

Whether external.

Still internal.

If you want to be a usurer imperialist, you have no chance.The industrial potential of Dashun is huge.

Secondly, Dashun has too many places to spend money.

Infrastructure, roads, canals, water conservancy.

Textiles, mining, coal and iron.

Colonial investment.

It's not like France, where money has no place to invest and can only be loaned outside.

Moreover, looking at it now, Dashun's tendency to develop towards the idea of ​​taking three industries is very obvious.

This is evident in two ways.

One is the idea of ​​"suppressing mergers" of traditional thinking.

The other is "currency reform".

Here, the traditional thinking of "restraining mergers" and the realistic policy of "currency reform" complement each other.

The "banking" trend of thought in Saint-Simonism depends on the core.

What is the kernel?
The core is that after the legal reform, after the land was divided, the money did not flow to the upper reaches of the industry, but to places where it should not flow.

Industrial development, and can not raise money.

In the case of France, administrative "suppression of mergers" cannot be achieved.

At that time, the new era in Europe was developing rapidly, and the Bank of England was a good example. Naturally, "bank" came to mind.

However, the core of the "bank" is still as a hand to regulate the industry and let capital flow in the direction of the industry.

Well, since the kernel is used as "a hand".

On the Dashun side, the emperor was worried about the problem of "accelerating mergers and acquisitions brought about by the development of industry and commerce" from a traditional perspective, as well as the idea of ​​controlling the flow of people and money from the pre-developed areas to the inland to buy land through the means of registering households and equalizing the people. one hand.

Even Liu Yu's previous reforms in Songsu had many restrictions, trying to restrict or lure money to industry, commerce, foreign colonization, and shipping.

The core itself is fine.

Even so, the emperor's starting point was the traditional thinking of "suppressing mergers"; Liu Yu's starting point was the thinking of strengthening the property of production means of cultivated land and reducing the property of financial investment of cultivated land.

However, at least in the idea of ​​controlling where the money flows, or luring the money to flow, they can be regarded as temporary companions.

This is the basis.

The other is the currency reform that Dashun is about to implement.

Based on the manic foreign trade surplus and the mining of Fusang gold and silver mines, the silver standard or gold and silver double standard reform of comprehensive copper coin coinage.

Once this reform is completed, theoretically, the Dashun court will have a very large financial institution.

Moreover, in accordance with the ideas of industrial development.

This financial institution, which is in the hands of the Dashun court, should theoretically invest in the development of industry and commerce, so as to achieve the effect of rapid industrial development and money available for industry and infrastructure as envisioned by Saint-Simonism.

Thoughts, are good.

But what about reality?
Is Wang Anshi's green crop law aimed at supporting small farmers?Or to get interest for the country?

The purpose of the lending system in "Zhou Li" is to support the development of handicraftsmen, citizens and farmers?
Or to earn interest?

A feudal dynasty is, after all, a feudal dynasty.

The Qingmiao method died long ago in the land of Dashun.

But in North Korea, it actually still exists, but it is called "returning the rice system" under a different name.

What will the feudal dynasty do in the end?

Lao Ma has already made it very clear in his article "Comments on the French Movable Credit Company" evaluating the policies of Napoleon III who "cloaked Saint-Simon's Society".

To do this, whether it is the young crop method with a good starting point, or the rice system.

In the end, they will all become [money-gathering tools of imperial use and speculative nature].

However, in an agricultural society, after all, agriculture is the largest industry, so we can only engage in the young crop method.

And in the industrial society, especially in the new era with the good idea of ​​"development of industry", it is conceivable what direction this [equipmental and speculative wealth-gathering tool] will go.

For a financial institution like "Kuyin" controlled by a feudal dynasty, it is natural to choose the operation mode of [increasing its own business and reducing its own risks].

And how to operate, the old horse also said very clearly.

[Take advantage of privileges, as well as a large amount of capital and loans supported by the imperial court.As a result, every new enterprise it establishes will definitely earn a discount in the market as soon as the shares are issued. 】

【...In short, obtaining discounts is the real operation core of this financial industry (an imperial and speculative wealth-gathering tool)】

As for whether the feudal dynasty will play like this, that is also obvious.

After all, the imperial court needs money to operate.

For a feudal dynasty, could it be that the unswerving industrialization development and the prosperity and revival of the country are the goals?
Obviously not.

So, when I saw the huge benefits... The "returning rice system" that still exists in North Korea, originally intended to help small farmers, but has been reduced to a tool for collecting money, still exists today, and it has expanded trade with North Korea in Dashun And after strangling the private trade between Japan and North Korea, it became a very important source of income for the Korean court—the usury issued by the court in exchange for Dashun's silver and other commodities to maintain the operation.

Therefore, it is conceivable how this set of things will play out in the end.

Lao Ma is very clear about this set of things.

[(Theoretically), if the institution could exchange the shares of all industrial companies for its own bonds, then it would indeed become the supreme commander and owner of the entire industry in France (that is, the Saint-Simon doctrine conceived Big banks, as the baton of industry)]

But in practice, [On the way to this end, the ensuing bankruptcy due to the above-mentioned economic conditions...]

It seems that the creators overlooked this matter.

However, in fact [ did not ignore it, on the contrary, they have taken it into consideration.When the bankruptcy occurred, after the interests of many French people were involved, the government of Bonaparte seemed justified in interfering with the affairs of the Movable Credit Company...]

[(After involving more people, through justifiable intervention), the emperor attempted to exchange the bonds of the Movable Credit Company for state bonds in order to take control of French industry (thus without violent social revolution and ownership change. , to realize the country's complete control over the industry, it can also be regarded as an improvement plan of 'variant redemption')]

But here's the problem.

[Is the emperor more solvent than the chattel credit company? 】

For Dashun, it is normal for businesses to go bankrupt, so how can they only make money but not lose money?

But your emperor is going to play like this. If you crash in the future, you will definitely not lose money, and you will not be able to afford it.At that time, what are you relying on?

Isn't this going around again?
I don't want to repay the debt, I want to renege on it.Then see when the creditor dies, or the debtor dies.

Can the emperor renege on his debt?Yes, I often relied on it before, and those salt merchants are a fragile group.

However, in the new era, both thinking about improvement... Even if it is aimed at being a "money-raising tool for the queen", under the real conditions of Dashun, it can still promote the rapid development of Dashun's industry.

With the rapid development of industry, it is no longer a fragile salt merchant.At that time, if you want to renege on your debt...but it's not easy.
