Chapter 236 Bloody Capital Accumulation

"Indians... Aztecs..."

Elizabeth asked her father in surprise, "Dad, is what this Mr. Arthur said true?"

Governor Swan said embarrassingly: "This...cough cough...we are English, and Hernando is Spaniard, so it has nothing to do with us."

Elizabeth said angrily: "The Indians are the aborigines here! How can the Spaniards be so cruel! Mr. Arthur, thank you for telling me about this gold coin. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought It's a pirate gold coin."

Xufeng smiled faintly and said nothing.

In fact, in "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is not much detailed explanation about the ins and outs of Aztec gold coins.

But Aztec gold coins are real.

The Indian Aztecs also existed.

Just like what Xufeng said, they spent almost all of their wealth in order to live peacefully on their own land, but unfortunately...

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. This is the truth summed up by the saints.

Your enemies will never stop bullying you just because you are weak.

Why has the Western world been so developed in the past 300 years?

Is it because of their excellent civilization?
Are they born strong enough?
neither.

Before the age of great voyages, they had no "civilization" at all, and the four ancient countries that truly had a complete system of civilization.

After the age of great voyages opened, they relied on their own strong ships and guns to continuously plunder and complete the primitive accumulation of capital.

100% of modern Westerners have directly or indirectly benefited from the burning, killing and looting of their ancestors.

The high welfare and high treatment that their descendants enjoy now is not the result of the hard work of their ancestors, but their ancestors drove the hard boats and guns to save the hard work of other people's ancestors. The fruits that come out are obtained by plundering.

This is capital accumulation with blood.

Does capital accumulation matter?
For capitalism, without capital accumulation, there is nothing.

It's like if you want to open a small supermarket, you have to buy, you have to stock, you have to deal with returns, you have to greet customers with a smile, and you have to be careful of thieves and so on - but these factors are not important, the most important The thing is, you have to have capital.

The monthly rent of a bottom store is 3 yuan, and the decoration of container channel products requires a one-time investment of 10 yuan. If you hire a helper, you must prepare at least 20 yuan in start-up capital.

You have a monthly income of 3000, how do you come up with the 20?

In other words, what means do you use to complete this "capital accumulation"?
The correct answer should be through your own hard work. One year is not two years, two years is not three years, three years is not five years, and ten years is not enough.

For the empire in the 17th century, they used a simpler method, that is, plunder.

No gold, no problem, just grab it.

The locals object, it doesn't matter, just kill them all.

Indians once ruled the entire Americas, including South America, North America, and the Caribbean, but now purebred Indians are as precious as giant pandas.

what happened?
They were all slaughtered.

The looters not only slaughtered the Indian people, but also wiped out their remaining culture.

Not only the Indians, but also the Tang people, the Indu people, and many ethnic groups with underdeveloped technology at that time were all plundered.

There are really not many ethnic groups that can survive that wave of looting.

In this way, the Western powers completed their capital accumulation, and then grew bigger and bigger. The entire West has been strong and prosperous for nearly 500 years.

These 500 years of prosperity have all been made stronger by sucking blood.

After this part of capital accumulation and early commercial income begin to decline, their "civilized" mask will be torn off again, and another round of capital accumulation will be carried out again.

However, when that time comes, the situation will be different.

Because they will face an awakened eastern power.

The reason why the Western powers are polite and assert "human" rights is because they have already monopolized most of the vested interests in the world, and they can stand proudly on the moral high ground and criticize others.

But if there is no initial capital accumulation, they are nothing.

Without funds, it is impossible for their technology to develop, and it is impossible for them to have a renaissance. They can only continue to eat onions and grow potatoes every day!

Many modern Tang people worship Westerners, thinking that the West is rich and powerful, but they don't know where their wealth and power come from.

They are rich by plunder, and they are powerful by killing the heroes who rise up against them.

After all the heroes of a nation are killed, the backbone of the nation is broken, and they can easily enslave or obliterate the nation.

Only when people continue to stand up to resist and become heroes, can the nation have hope.

It is precisely because of this understanding that heroes such as Huang Feihong and Huo Yuanjia will continue to use their own efforts to awaken the numb Chinese people.

Are the Tang people strong now?
Not powerful, compared with those old Western empires, it is still far behind.

However, the people of Tang came from a state of poverty, not through plundering, but through their own hard work, step by step catching up with those empires that started from plundering and are even plundering oil resources now!
This is what our nation is most proud of!
In the whole earth, there is no nation that can be as hardworking, brave, and tenacious as the Tang people.

The genes of the ancestors are passed on through the blood, from generation to generation, and they have never really surrendered!
Not in the past, not now, and not in the future!
Thinking of this, Xufeng felt his blood boil.

"...I really admire pirates." Elizabeth fumbled for the Aztec gold coin in front of her heart, and sighed faintly, "It's really hard to say, are the pirates more ferocious, or our sailors are more ferocious? The sailors only protect the ships of their own country, but at the same time they can plunder the ships of other countries, and they can slaughter the Indians... Our sailors are actually more like the biggest pirates."

Governor Swan quickly said: "Elizabeth! Don't talk nonsense!"

Elizabeth shrugged, "Okay, I just said it casually, everyone, don't take it to heart, this dress is too uncomfortable, I want to end the ceremony early."

Governor Swan said: "Then you go to the car and wait for me."

Elizabeth first nodded at Will, and then walked up to Xufeng, "Mr. Arthur, you are so knowledgeable, I look forward to seeing you again."

After speaking, Elizabeth handed her right hand with white glove to Xufeng.

Xufeng hesitated for a moment, but finally took Elizabeth's hand, lowered her head and touched it with her lips.

This is called a Wen gift.

And men can only do so if the woman wants to.

If a lady is willing to let the other party kiss her hand, it means that she basically recognizes the other party's identity or ability.

Xufeng said with a faint smile: "It's very simple if you want to see me, just ask Will."

Elizabeth smiled at Will, and then walked to the luxury carriage with her personal maid.

"...Goodbye, Miss Swann." Will mustered up his courage, but in the end he still didn't dare to call her "Elizabeth".
