Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 432 Butterfly Wings ([-])

There is always a sense of mission in Yinzuo's heart, or a sense of urgency, nothing else, just because he is very clear that in the tide of the times, as long as he can't keep up with one step, he can't keep up with every step , which has been proved by history.Yin Zuo didn't know much about the history of his previous life, but he was clear about one thing, that is, among the countries in the world in this era, there are actually only two countries capable of completing the industrial revolution - the Qing Dynasty and the United Kingdom.

Yin Zuo doesn't know when Britain started the industrial revolution, nor does it know whether Britain has started the industrial revolution in the present era, but Yin Zuo knows what are the three major signs of the industrial revolution—steam engine, flying shuttle, and spinning machine. These three things are the sharp weapons to promote the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution first started in the textile industry, and then swept across all industries, replacing handicraft production with intensive large-scale machine production.

Steam engines, shuttles, and spinning machines have long been manufactured in the various secret laboratories under the name of Yinzuo, and steam engines have long been put into practical use. Many mines and shipyards under the name of the Eight Banners Company However, Yin Zuo did not promote the steam engine to the private sector, nor did he even hand over these two things, the shuttle and the spinning machine, to the Ministry of Industry, even in the Jiangning Weaving Mansion under the royal name. These two things.

Advanced is not necessarily the most suitable, the industrial revolution is of course necessary, and this is also one of the missions that Yinzuo must complete, but impatient can never eat hot tofu, and building tall buildings without a foundation is simply a fantasy.The Qing Dynasty in the present era has the foundation of the industrial revolution, but there is no urgent need for the industrial revolution. In other words, once the industrial revolution is officially launched, the quantity of various commodities will immediately increase rapidly. In this way, where will the market be? ?Rely on the domestic market to digest?Totally impossible!Today's China is still a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and it is impossible to fully digest the achievements of the industrial revolution. The Qing Dynasty needed overseas markets. To put it plainly, it needed colonies to dump industrial products.

The accumulation of capital is bloody, what Marx said is right, at least Yin Zuo thinks it is right, but the problem is that Yin Zuo can’t pay the price of this blood, he doesn’t want to have a bourgeois revolution like in France in history , so as to send himself or his descendants to the guillotine. Moreover, Yinzuo did not want to cause long-term turmoil in the country because of the industrial revolution.If you want to eat crabs, you have to be careful not to be caught by the crab's big pincers. There is a paradox here. How to solve it? Yinzuo has to be more careful, and in this matter, people of this era No one can help Yinzuo, all things must be decided by Yinzuo himself.

The foundation of the industrial revolution is nothing more than the four major elements of capital, market, labor, and technology. Among them, technology and capital are no longer a problem. After all, the Qing Dynasty is still the world's largest economic power. In terms of capital, it far exceeds the any country in this era.labor force?This is a big problem. Yes, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, but the problem is that most of the population is bound by the land. Most of the entire land of China is peasants who cannot live without the land. If you want to liberate these peasants It is by no means an easy task to come out, and this is the root cause of Yin Zuo's request for Yun Zhen to come forward to implement the sharing of food into the mu and the integration of officials and gentry. It is different. Yinzuo does not restrict the merger of farmland, but does not encourage it. At least before the industrial revolution begins, he will not deliberately restrict the merger of farmland. What Yinzuo wants is to gradually liberate the population and lay the foundation for the labor force for the industrial revolution.

market?This is a long-standing problem. Without a broad market, how can the industrial revolution continue?It is impossible to achieve this by relying on the current overseas trade model alone. After more than ten years of predatory trade, the economies of Western European countries have been damaged. It is obviously impossible to continue like this. Therefore, everyone The Qing needs, and urgently needs, its own living space and colonies, and this requires the army to use iron and blood to create a new world for the Qing.

You are not afraid of fighting Yinzuo, and you are even very welcome. Of course, the prerequisite is to fight according to Yinzuo's plan. , although it will lose at the beginning, the final winner must be the Qing Dynasty. The reason is very simple-the navies of Britain and the Netherlands are strong, but affected by the logistics supply, the two countries can really mobilize. There are definitely not too many fleets in Asia, but wars have a purpose, not for fun. Before the domestic affairs are settled, Yinzuo doesn't want to start a war.

Time, what Yinzuo needs is time, at least two years, this time is not imagined by Yinzuo, but the time estimated by Yinzuo based on actual needs-the innovation of the financial system has solved the problem for the upcoming industrial revolution. Regarding the issue of credit funds, of course, it takes far more than two years to establish a complete financial mechanism, but what Yin Zuo wants is only a prototype, and all imperfect things can be gradually improved in the future, and the prototype of this It is enough to establish it for more than a year. After all, the whole set of currency value innovation plan has been carried out for nearly ten years, and all the conditions are basically met, right?The same is true for the liberation of the labor force: the policy of distributing food to the mu and government and gentry paying food as a whole has been tried out as early as the Kangxi period, and it is still being implemented in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces today, and there is no shortage of experience and lessons. With the full support of Shang Yinzuo and the reliable guarantee of the army, two years are almost enough.

Once the funds and labor force are available, Yinzuo will throw away the technology in his hands, and the industrial revolution will be officially launched. After the industrial revolution has achieved results, it will inevitably face the problem of market and sales. At that time, Even if Yinzuo doesn't want to fight, I'm afraid the voice of the people for the main battle will resound through the sky. This battle will naturally get a lot of support from the country. It's hard to imagine it!

The idea is beautiful, but whether it can be realized is still uncertain. At least Yin Zuo is not fully sure in his heart. It is not that he is worried that Yun Zhen will take advantage of the opportunity to rise. To be honest, the military power is now in control. Yinzuo, he is not worried at all that Yunzhen will make troubles. If Yinzuo himself is not busy with military affairs reform, and his two sons are still young, Yinzuo will not let Yunzhen be busy at all. of.The court has already been stabilized, no matter how disobedient Yun Zhen is, he can only obediently follow Yin Zuo's baton, disobedient?It's not a big deal to let him go to Shengjing to accompany Lao Ba.What Yin Zuo is really worried about is actually the attitude of Britain and the Netherlands—due to the limited intelligence capabilities of "Honghu", the European part has not been explored, so Yin Zuo does not know what the development of Europe in the present era is. It is not very clear how strong the naval forces of these two countries are. Whether they can fool the envoys of these two countries has become the most concerned thing for Yin Zuo at present.No, after sending Yun Zhen to sort out the regulations of government affairs, and spending a few days busy with the military affairs arrangements during this period, Yin Zuo was finally able to free up his hands to discuss foreign affairs with Prince Cheng Yunzhi and second elder brother Hongyang Arrangements are made.

"Your minister (children) kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Prince Cheng Yunzhi and his second elder brother Hongyang, led by the eunuch Gao Nianying, walked into the upper study room and immediately knelt down on the ground, saluting See Yinzuo.

"Forget it, get up, I called my third brother here today for the sake of foreign affairs, how far has it come to now?" Yinzuo raised his hand lightly, signaling for Yunzhi and Hongyang to be flat.

"Report to Your Majesty, Xu Chao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, has moved to the Ministry of Culture and Rites to compile the list of British and Dutch envoys and the relevant routes to Beijing. Please be enlightened by your Majesty." Yunzhi took out a yellow silk mask from his sleeve The memorial, with his head down, raised his head respectfully.

"En." Yinzuo nodded, motioned Gao Nianying to hand over the booklet, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed and said, "Fan Fuster Green? Hehe, it turned out to be him, I see this person But, um, that was ten years ago, I never imagined that this person will be the ambassador of England this time, hehe, interesting, um, Third Brother seems to have seen this person back then, right?"

"Returning to the emperor, I seem to have a little impression, but I don't remember very clearly." Yunzhi didn't pay much attention to this English envoy at all back then. He met him once, but he didn't have a serious conversation with him at all, just casually. After chatting about the weather for a while, they sent it out. Even the final signing of the business treaty was done by the Lang Guan of the Ministry of Rites. Yun Zhi didn't bother to ask much at all. Hearing Yin Zuo mention this person at this time, he didn't feel a little impressive.

"Well, I have discussed this person in depth. He is a little level, so he is not easy to fool. This time, the third brother is acting on behalf of my Qing Dynasty. Everything has to be handled carefully. Don't be careless." Yin Zuo was a little worried He exhorted.

"Yes, the envoy of the Holy Majesty must keep it in mind." Yunzhi replied respectfully.

Yinzuo nodded and said: "Well, that's good. If there is anything you can't agree on, you might as well delay it and discuss it with me later. I have high hopes for you."

"Huang Ama, I have an idea and I don't know if I should say it or not?" Hongyang who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

"Oh?" Yinzuo glanced at Hongyang with interest, smiled and said, "Yang'er, it's okay to say something, I'm listening."

"Huang Ama, I think that Britain and the Netherlands may not be of the same mind, but they are just greedy for the wealth of our Qing Dynasty. Facing the strength of our Qing Dynasty, they have to collude with each other. I think there must be something in it. Loopholes can be exploited. Erchen suggested that the British and Dutch missions should be placed separately and negotiated separately. First, find out their respective bottom lines, and then prescribe the right medicine. The Qing Dynasty is naturally not afraid of one of the two countries and dares to face the Qing Dynasty alone. This minister is so stupid that I ask the emperor Ama to judge." Hongyang talked freely, thinking and saying It was exactly what Yin Zuo wanted to say when he summoned Yun Zhi to come here today.

"Well, this idea is feasible, sure." Yinzuo wondered how Hongyang could see some unspoken rules in diplomacy, but he didn't bring it to his face. He pondered for a moment, nodded and said.

"Huang Ama Shengming, my son has something else to report to Ming Huang Ama." Seeing Yinzuo's approval, Hongyang didn't show any excitement on his face, but said another sentence very calmly.

"Oh? What else is there for Yang'er, let's talk about it together." Yinzuo looked at Hongyang calmly and said.

Hongyang bowed and then replied: "Huang Ama, my son thinks that Britain and the Netherlands are only relying on their sea power. As far as land is concerned, they are definitely not my opponents. Once a war starts, my Qing Dynasty will be worried." It's just that overseas trade has been cut off and the Japanese garrison has been damaged. However, even if Britain and the Netherlands can win, they may not be able to get any advantage from our Qing Dynasty. The purpose of the war between the two countries is, therefore, I conclude that Britain and the Netherlands must be bluffing, but they may not have the courage to go to war with Qing Dynasty."

Hmm, this analysis makes sense, but although Hongyang understands the entire Thunder plan, he doesn't know the real strength of Britain and the Netherlands. Where does his conclusion come from?Yinzuo looked suspiciously at Hongyang, but didn't make a statement, but said lightly: "What else? Talk about it!"

"Yes, Huang Ama." Hongyang paused and continued: "I thought that even if the negotiation broke down, Britain and the Netherlands would never dare to land in our Qing Dynasty. At most, there would be some troubles in Japan. I thought that even if the negotiation went well, there would still be troubles in Dongpu, and the two countries would never let go of Dongpu just because they reached an agreement with Qing Dynasty, so I would like to ask Huang Ama to make preparations."

Armed Japanese shorties?Well, there is this possibility. There has never been any trustworthiness between countries, but the people of the country have always regarded themselves as tolerant and benevolent, and emphasize trustworthiness. How can this child understand this?Yinzuo looked at Hongyang suspiciously for a while, then chuckled and said, "I know what to do, third brother, Yang'er, just let go and do it, I will make decisions for you."
