New Shun 1730

At this time, Li Li clearly announced that he was also an old conservative, because he identified the most capable people in Dashun, and they would not think about making trouble in the short term, unless the new emperor really messed up.

Especially the guns, because the guns in the Dashun army are all beneficiaries of the violent leap before and after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. In the past 20 years, capable guns have climbed up and got on the train.

This group of people are in their prime, in their 40s and 50s, and it will take another 20 to 30 years before they all grow old and wither.

In addition to the guns, there are the money bags.

Because the Treaty of Versailles is about to be signed, Dashun's money bags are stable.

In addition, Dashun's overly bizarre productivity level, bizarre exchange rate relative to the price revolution in Europe, and bizarre cheap labor under the contradiction between people and land, as well as the bizarre "technical monopoly" of tea, porcelain and silk.

All of these make Dashun's expansion at this stage have obvious imperialist nature.

This is different from the expansion in the pure feudal dynasty era. It is obviously economic in nature, destroying the handicrafts in Europe and India and changing the economic structure of Europe and America.

Historically, before 1800, the traditional dynasties said that "the Celestial Empire has everything", and there was nothing wrong with it. This has nothing to do with arrogance. In 1800, Britain had not yet dumped in India.

The problem is that "the Celestial Empire has everything", but how can it destroy the Tea Tax Act, the Cotton Cloth Prohibition Order, the French Carpenters' Guild, the Lancashire Textile Association, the East India Company's monopoly, and the European mercantilist tariff protection, sell these "everything" and take the initiative in trade.

"My things are good, good quality and low price, so others will definitely take the initiative to buy my things, right?"

This is a wrong idea, because reality has proved that others will set restrictions, tariffs, subsidies, legislation, administrative interference, etc., which fundamentally limit the volume of trade.

In fact, my things are good quality and low price, and then I use warships to force you to trade freely, this is the reality.

Because I can force you to trade freely, and when my products are no longer cheap and good, my warships will be enough to protect my "domestic industry priority".

Even at this point, Liu Yu did not expect to rely on the absolute advantage of the first edition of "The Wealth of Nations" to chant in Europe, but could only use the relative advantage of 2.0 to chant.

In recent years, Dashun has borrowed three wars in Europe in a row.

The War of the Polish Succession and the Russo-Swedish War solved the northern border problem.

The War of the Austrian Succession, went back to Southeast Asia.

Finally, in this war, I finally got the long-awaited trade initiative.

Through the art of diplomacy, I entered Europe, took advantage of the contradictions in Europe, completed the balance of power, and maintained an absolutely split Europe, but balanced to the point that whoever Dashun helped with 30 battleships would win.

Because what Dashun is doing now is what Lao Ma said, "In the name of free trade, it is actually monopolizing trade."

Monopoly trade, mercantilism in the guise of free trade, requires national strength.

At this stage, the money bag of Dashun is bound to the country.

The benefits of the money bag of the "Versailles Peace Treaty" to be signed soon need a stable regime. This group of people are temporarily full and have made at least ten years of food in the future. At this time, they have no intention.

Of course, if they lose the war, that's another story.

If they really lose, Dashun's navy will have to disband most of it, because the money bag that lost the war can't support the scale of the navy and marines, as well as the already huge practical system.

If they really lose the war, Li Li might bring the navy that is about to be forced to retreat to Beijing to seek an explanation.

The key is that Dashun's strategy is too disgusting, so that it doesn't even give the opportunity of "the main general deliberately defeated", but uses a deformed "rural surrounding city" strategy, and does not choose the decisive battle in the strait.

Britain is a "city", Dashun will not go there at all.

West Africa, North America and the Caribbean are "rural areas", Dashun is tossing happily.

Any economy that adopts the "Navigation Act" model will be cut off and its power will be disrupted. Dashun did not intend to fight an epic battle in the strait from the beginning.

Now that the war is over, Li Li actually has no other choice. Maybe he will change the style of his eye mask and wear brown glasses tomorrow.

He made it clear and said frankly that "reform" would not be successful within 30 years.

Those who thought Liu Yu might support "reform equal land and gather the whole country's strength to immigrate" also changed their words and said: "Your Highness, what you said makes a lot of sense. You have a sharp vision and far-sighted thoughts. I can't wait."

"As your Highness said, since the Duke of Xingguo chose to balance the affairs of North America and Europe, I think he also thinks that reform is difficult."

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense."

"The Versailles negotiations will be successful, and the huge benefits our dynasty will gain , the treasury is full, and great things can be done. "

"If the railway from Beijing to Hankou is completed, the Central Plains will be stable. If there is a rebellion, we can set out in the morning and arrive in the evening; if there is a famine, we can also transfer food from Tianjin. "

"If the Yellow River waterway is completed, the Huanghuai River will be stable. The sword hanging over our heads will no longer be a big deal. "

"If these two things are completed, the treasury will be full as before in the future. With the silver in the treasury, there is no need to use the land to equalize the land to the gentry, and millions of immigrants can be relocated to solve the land problem of the world. "

"The Shaanxi people went to the Western Regions, the Jin people went to the west entrance, the people from Gyeonggi and Shandong went to Guandong, and Fujian and Guangdong went to Nanyang. The remaining provinces can rely on the surplus saved by the national treasury after completing these two major projects to immigrate to Fusang and the Southern Ocean."

"Therefore, this North American balance is to provide land for future immigrants; and the trade treaty is to provide money for future immigrants."

"If you have money and land, it seems that you don't necessarily have to implement land equalization..."

After such a change of tone, Li Ye thought that it was not impossible to say this. If you really want to put it this way, the railway that runs through the Central Plains is the top priority.

By then, if immigration is implemented, there will be chaos. Only when the railway is built can the chaos be suppressed.

Moreover, if there is a railway, it will be much more convenient for immigrants to be transferred in the future.

While everyone was discussing it, someone soon came up with an idea.

"Your Highness, Duke Xingguo has a set of formal colonial techniques for this Fusang immigration matter, and I have also seen it. That is, the land is returned to the state, the immigrants buy the land, and the money from selling the land allows more immigrants to be immigrated."

"There is an endless supply of labor to colonize the colonies, and there are always new people coming. And the old people get gold and silver to buy land for cultivation, and the gold and silver from selling the land will attract more people to come, so there is no shortage of people."

"Then...can we do the opposite?"

Li Han asked curiously: "What does it mean to do the opposite and use it?"

The man said: "What Duke Xing Guo wants is to work over there, and then get gold and silver to buy land. So, can you work here, save gold and silver, and go over there to buy land?"

"Now that the treaty is about to be signed, China has completely taken over the trade rights. With the spinning, weaving, dyeing and other techniques of China at this time, it also has cotton from India and rice from Southeast Asia."

"I think within twenty years there will be no competition among the nations on earth."

"Then, can you increase the salary so that after working for five years, you can earn enough money for the ship ticket and buy a hundred acres of wasteland in Fuso?"

"Now that they have left, there will naturally be no shortage of people to work."

"As for Fuso Land, apart from gold and silver, I really can't think of any other factories that can make money in a short period of time, and provide them with a salary that is enough to buy land."

Li Hao laughed when he heard this and said: "If we do this, it would be better to levy export taxes directly. Isn't it the same thing to levy export taxes and directly use it as an immigration fund? It is nothing more than collecting export taxes, going there, and directly granting land. In the end, no Or have we gone back to the old method of paying for land grants from the court?”

"If the court grants land...how much land? If it's three hundred acres, the court will also provide money, including cattle and horses, seeds, and shipping tickets."

"When we get there, there won't be much labor. We just need to pay for food. How can we transport it back to the capital?"

“It’s such a good thing, how can it be the turn of tenant farmers who really need to immigrate?”

"If you don't talk about others, let's talk about the children of the capital. Those concubines who have no errands. Who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to let the children go there and get three hundred acres of land for their descendants?"

"In the end, you see, those who really need to immigrate or else they will starve will not be able to leave. And those whose families actually have some property must go first."

"As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. I think the methods of the Yingyi can be used for reference. They are either heretics who were killed, or unemployed people who had to go to the enclosure as indentured servants."

"Just get around the British-Barbarian problem: no private enclosures."

"As for going to Fusang to dig for gold at this time... As long as a family has two hectares of fields, there is no need to go to Luoyang City. Who will go?"

"So, this is where the difficulty lies."

"Looking at the early stage, it's easy to say. As long as your home is on the Yellow River waterway, everyone will move. Unless you don't want to go, it's hard to cheat."

“In the future, we can’t just move every county and leave no one behind.”

"As long as you stay, you have to screen them."

"If the imperial court really had the means to distinguish who is a wealthy household and who is a tenant farmer, who has property and who has no property...it wouldn't be such a small amount of money for the mu tax now, right?"

"I can't tell the difference. Guess if the imperial court pays for cattle, horses and seeds, and the quota is limited, and if you go there will be fields, will the local gentry's sons and daughters be on the list first?"

"Yes, it's difficult."
