Chapter 1145 The Final Arrangement ([-])

Although Liu Yu looked quite kind.

But for the question just now, if Quan Zheshen chose to debate the classics, Liu Yu would directly ask someone to take him away, send him to the ship and send him back to Seoul.

A group of great Confucian scholars in China can't argue with each other, so how could they have the leisure to talk nonsense with such a young man.

There are two reasons why he allowed to see Quan Zheshen.

One is that no matter what the country is, a person of insight who feels the crisis of the changing times and finds a way to save the nation and save the people is indeed worthy of respect.

Another one is purely because of the coal mines in the Pyongyang area of ​​North Korea.

Even, the face of the coal mine is much greater than the spirit of the patriots who save the nation and survive.

Now Liu Yu is really not afraid of people like Mu Qiang, not only is he not afraid, but he also likes people like Mu Qiang.Because Dashun is indeed strong now, the Muqiang mentality is very beneficial to Dashun.

Now that Quan Zheshen actually wants to ask him how to enrich the people, that's really exactly what he wants.

The industrial revolution in Dashun has just begun, and the use of steam engines has begun to increase slowly. Coal has gradually become a major problem restricting the development of Songsu.

Historically, there have been troubles between two whites and one black in Shanghai.

There are many reasons, but one thing is certain, if there are coal mines of the same size as Datong around Shanghai, this scandal will not be able to cause trouble.

It's like no one will hoard salt next to the Haizhou salt farm to make a lot of money.

The lack of coal in the Songsu Light Industrial Zone is of course not a problem now, but the technology tree has basically been reached, and the industry will usher in great development in a short time. The problem of coal must be solved.

Songsu, as the current and future industrial center and financial center, has a huge demand for coal.

In fact, until the end of the Second Crow Fight and the completion of the Suez Canal, 35% of the coal used in Shanghai still came from Cardiff.

The capital of Wales.

The British ship loaded coal from Wales and really traveled half the world around the world. With the transportation capacity at that time, even if there was no tariff, only the freight was counted, and it was outrageous that it could always occupy the first place.

The second place is Australian coal.

Of course, Xuzhou coal is mainly used in Songsu now, but after all, there were no steam trains and railways at this time, making coal prices a huge constraint on the development of Songsu area.

It's not a big problem now.

Immediately there will be big problems, and it can almost be said that Dashun will have big problems if it wins the First World War.

Shipping by sea is definitely the cheapest.

Look around.

by the sea.

There is a river.

Dense population and abundant labor force.

Labor is cheap and plentiful.

It's close enough to Songsu.

In the vassal trade circle of the Celestial Dynasty.

It is within the control of the Dashun Army, not the Navy.

The coal must be of good quality and easy to dig.

It is best to strengthen economic ties and promote economic integration within the old Chinese system.

Then there is really only Pyongan Road in North Korea, near Pyongyang.

All conditions are met.

Except for the key shipping cost sea freight issue.

The key is the slavery system in North Korea, which is simply tailor-made to provide coal for the development of Dashun Songsu.

In the northeastern region of Dashun, mining coal is still too expensive for the time being.

Reclamation, soybean industry, wine making, oil pressing, flax and other industries are booming, and labor is somewhat expensive.

Kanto soybeans can be fertilized in northern Jiangsu not because of cheap labor, but because of per capita labor efficiency and the per capita number of acres of land that has almost reached the boundary benefit limit.

With less money, it is not a good thing to go to farm.

Forget about coal from Shanxi, and now only the finest camel hair in Mongolia, such as wool, is eligible to go to Tianjin Port, and the freight along the way is too expensive.

It is not worthwhile to ship wool, let alone coal.Otherwise, Tianjin can only export some straw hat braids and high-quality camel hair. The transportation conditions are really bad, unless the railway is built to Zhangjiakou.

Now the Dashun decision-making circle has not yet decided on the two special vassals of Annan and North Korea, what to do in the future, and whether to have counties or counties.

But no matter what, two things are definitely needed.

Or a group of leading parties.

Or a close economic cycle connection.

In the south of North Korea, cotton can be grown, paper can be made, and industry and commerce can be developed, so there is no big problem.

In the north of North Korea, it would be best if mining could be done.

And the two complement each other.

There are two types of leading parties.

Idealists, such as those who really believe in the concept of the world.

Interested parties, happy to be a comprador to make money.

Specific to the faction of interest, where does the interest come from?

Naturally, it came from their slaves.

The slaves of North Korea are based on the principle of a drop of blood.

If one of the father or mother is a slave, the child born is also a slave.

Of course, it was originally a rule to take off your pants and fart, because high and low castes do not marry.

But just like those "high castes" in Ceylon, the high castes in theory are the self-cultivating farmers in reality.

Among the four people of Dashun Huanshi, farmers, businessmen, and farmers, the agricultural row is second. This theoretically high status is meaningless.

As for the feudal dynasty, as long as the self-cultivating peasant class can be stabilized, there will be no problem in ruling.

However, the self-cultivating peasant class, in most cases, is going down instead of up.

Good people of the third caste in North Korea can't marry a daughter-in-law or the like, so they can only find untouchables who are not within the class.

Although at this time, due to the insufficient number of "good people", the principle of one drop of blood was changed to the principle of matriarchy.It seems that it has not changed for many years.

But after thinking about it for a while, either this is purely idle and having nothing to do to modify it for fun.

A good man finds a female servant, and the child he gives birth to is still a servant, which means nothing has changed.

Conversely, it makes sense for a male servant to find a female servant, but it is unlikely. In a patriarchal society, why would a female servant find a male servant?

Either, if not purely for fun.

Then one thing can be reversed: that is, the centralization of the Joseon Dynasty has actually collapsed in theory.It's just because it is too close to the suzerain country, and the inertia is maintained.

Obviously, the reason for such a change, and the premise that the change is really meaningful, is that a large number of good people have taken refuge in the noble class as slaves.

Or because of tax issues, etc., a phenomenon similar to that of the Ming Dynasty appeared on a large scale, and those who were forced by the tax would rather be slaves than good citizens.

Therefore, the Korean royal family was in a hurry, and had to change the principle of one drop of blood to the principle of matriarchy, trying to control more good people.

It should be said that fortunately North Korea is too close to Taishun.

As long as it is farther away, it is not within the scope of direct interference.

It is enough to deduce the power of the royal power through the principle of slaves and maids from the mother's law, or a drop of blood. The nobles who have mastered a large number of people, land, and slaves, according to the tradition of the Celestial Dynasty, have long been dog-legged kings.

Under such circumstances, reform is bound to lead to major events.

And it will definitely become more and more chaotic.

Letting slaves be good, isn't this taking food from the mouths of noble scholars and bureaucrats?
Liu Yu reckoned that along with a series of situations caused by the opening of the port, the civil strife in North Korea may have lasted for a few years.

Nobility can be exempted from taxes and evaded taxes.

Taxes are all on good farmers.

The bankruptcy of small farmers caused by the opening of ports.

A large number of good people must run under the name of noble scholar-bureaucrats.

It's very simple.

Assuming theoretically eleven taxes.

Originally, 100 million good citizens paid a theoretical tenth tax.

Now these 100 million good people are all running under the name of noble literati and working as slaves.

Then the taxes of these 100 million good people have to be burdened on the remaining 30 or 50.

The imperial court's tax collection, in terms of its administrative capacity at this time, must be collected in a piece-by-piece manner.How much tax do you pay in theory in this county? There are fewer good people.

Then why don't you run away as a slave under the name of noble scholar-officials, or be a good citizen foolishly?
In theory, good people can become the second caste in the imperial examination... But in theory, the prerequisite for the imperial examination is to study full-time and be literate.

For this theoretical caste privilege, to pay the [-]st tax?Or give up this theoretical caste privilege and serve as a slave?
People in Dashun are well aware of this matter by reading the history of the previous dynasty.

Reform Reform is basically Huang Zongxi's law.

In theory the new tax replaces the old one.

In fact, most of them will become new taxes plus old taxes.

Now Dashun is even forcing North Korea to open ports for trade.

The contradiction that might have taken five or sixty years to explode is now likely to explode.

There may even be a chance to continue the life of the reform with some results. After the opening of the port, there is no chance at all.

Besides, after the opening of the port, the intelligence-gatherers from all walks of life were not idle.Liu Yu knew it well.

It's been a few years since it exploded.

Liu Yu pondered, it's time to cultivate some leading parties.

Once North Korea is bombed, Dashun will definitely send troops to intervene.

As for the intervention method, the initiative rests with Dashun.

Is it the abolition of lowly status, equalization of land and buddhism, three years of non-expropriation, low people's obedience, measurement of land, and then counties?

Or firmly stand on the side of the reactionary forces, and send troops at the price of more privileges?
It doesn't matter.

Dashun is not Han and Tang.

Private ownership of land is the foundation. After counties and counties, it must be the same as the land system in Dashun.Officials in Dashun also don't understand the whole thing about state-owned land.

Today is even, and in three years there will be a bunch of merged and bankrupt ones, and they just go into the coal mines.

Actually, it's much faster.Judging from Liu Yu's reforms in Funing County, after equalizing the land, even with the green crop loan, the speed of mergers and the polarization of the rich and the poor is still very impressive.

Of course, if you choose one of the counties, you need a group of elite leading parties.

Be young.

We must believe in the concept of "tianxia", rather than the concept of "nationality".

We must support Juntian, and believe that Juntian is a benevolent government, and Dashun's sending troops is a crime against the people.

You must understand Chinese and have a good command of Confucian classics.

It is necessary to be able to quickly take over local power in the process of counties and counties.

Obviously, Quan Zheshen is a very suitable candidate.

Young, radical, and strong.

The teacher is also a great Confucianist, with a high reputation in his country and a relatively close network of relationships.

However, lead the way, this is plan A.

If Dashun adopts plan B, that is, to send troops to suppress peasant uprisings, or noble civil strife, firmly stand on the side of the corrupt forces and blackmail more privileges.

The leading party of Plan A is useless.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Yu thought about letting Quan Zhe go back and get dozens of people to come over and "learn" the knowledge of enriching the people.

To raise dozens of people, even if you give sergeant treatment every day, it will not cost you much money.

Even a meal of dog meat is affordable.

If you really want to adopt plan B, things are easier.

There is no need to learn from ready-made experience.

open coal mines.

Aristocratic scholar-bureaucrats sent private servants to work.

The wages or share were given to the noble scholar-bureaucrats.

The first caste in North Korea, cooperating with Dashun capitalists, a classic model of cooperation between compradors and imperialism, draining the blood from the bottom.

Or after the suppression, a bunch of "sinners" were sentenced to dig coal.

The world is dynamic, and whether Dashun adopts plan A or plan B is not fixed.

If by the time Dashun sends troops, there are already seven No. 80 leading party elites, then the possibility of adopting plan A will increase.

Now that Quan Zheshen, after Liu Yu's filter selection, chose not to talk about domineering and domineering, but to ask about the strategy of enriching the people, then it is easy to say.

There are three ways to enrich the people.

Juntian, with a solid bachelor's degree in agriculture and water conservancy.

Cotton is grown in the south and sold to Songjiang Textile Factory.

Coal mines were dug in the north and sold to Xinxing Steam Factory.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no way out of these three, and there is no way to find a fourth way.What else can we do?
Therefore, Liu Yu doesn't need to deceive the power and the body, he can really give a "rich country" strategy.
