Chapter 1161 Many Divergent Roads, Today Is Here ([-])

Hundreds of millions of gold and silver flowed into India through hundreds of years of East-West trade. This was the basis of Duplex's idea of ​​tax collection and profit, and it was also the basis for Emperor Dashun to accept the idea of ​​seizing India.

Hundreds of millions of gold and silver flowed into India through hundreds of years of east-west trade. This is the basis for Liu Yu's idea of ​​selling industrial products to expand the market, and it is also the basis for stimulating the rapid development of Dashun's industrial capital.

Both are making money, and the ideas of the two sides are completely different.

Even, to a certain extent, it is completely opposite.

One is industrial thinking.

One is business thinking.

Just take the money away.

And first produce the goods, go there to exchange money, and then ship them back.

It looks as if the latter is taking off his pants and farting.

But taking off the trousers in this move is very meaningful. It is related to how many people Dashun can allow to participate in industrialization.

Otherwise, it will be done in one step without taking off your pants, and it will be no different from those salt merchants before the Dashun salt reform, and it will not help the future of Dashun.

The most difficult part here is to destroy India's traditional small-scale peasant economy, which cannot be destroyed simply by collecting taxes.

How to pull India into the economic system of Dashun actually has a way.

And this method itself is closely related to Dashun's conquest and invasion of India.

In other words, it is closely related to the fact that Dashun is obviously coveting India and has a huge advantage, but has not done anything until now.

Dashun yearns for India.

But with a strong strategic focus, he has been waiting for the next war in Europe that Liu Yu said.

The emperor is just a kind of trust similar to path dependence.

In fact, the reason why we have to wait stems from the matter of how to bring India into Dashun's economic system.

Liu Yu's reforms in Songsu tried another form of capitalism.

That is to say, on the premise of maintaining the fragile framework of "men farming and women weaving", the small technologically advanced machine of the iron wheel loom is sent to the countryside, and the budding capitalism of the contract system is adopted.

It should be said that the effect is good.

That is, the effect of the budding of capitalism has been achieved, and tens of thousands of people have been drawn into the capitalist economic system.

At a minimum, the crisis of transformation has been eased.

Nominally, it is still a small-scale peasant economy.

Not really.

As a result, the main business has become a side business, and the side business has become the main business.

Second, every family involved in weaving is closely related to world trade and the capitalist market of the entire world.

Third, self-sufficiency is essentially disintegrated.

A weaver needs money to buy cloth.

This is very different from the weaver who wears it himself and sells the rest.

This method seems to be breaking the crisis, but in fact it is purely that the thunder is going to blow up in advance, and the sound is too small, and it is rushing towards the great revolution that will destroy the world and turn the world upside down.

Because, once the economic crisis of capitalism breaks out, everyone who seems to be still in the small peasant economy will be drawn into it.

If this is not done, if the capitalist economic crisis breaks out in Songsu, the impact will be very small.

However, if this is done, a large number of people will be tied up in it, making it impossible for anyone to be alone at that time, because everyone's interests are closely related.

So, this is not the solution to Dashun's crisis.

It just delays the crisis and makes it more intense.

This idea can actually be used in India as well.

But when used in India, Dashun must wait for Europe to do its job, so as to control the European market.

Still take the cotton textile industry as an example.

Indian cotton.

Indian spinning.

Yarn from India is imported to Songjiang.

Songsu weaves, and even spreads the scope of weaving along the Yangtze River and the canal network.

Cotton is sold.

Especially after the end of World War I, Europe, which has been very profitable due to the price revolution.

The silver flowed back to Songjiang, where it was distributed to weavers in Dashun, spinners in India, or invested in cotton planting.

That is, through the forced division of labor based on geographical boundaries, the economic ties between Dashun and India were forcibly strengthened.

Catalyze the transformation of India to professional spinning in the European market.

This is a variant of the forced division of labor in "Guan Zi".

It can also be regarded as a variant of the so-called high-end division of labor and industrial transfer in the free economy of later generations.

The advantage of this is that a large number of people in India can give up men's farming and women's weaving to be self-sufficient.

Instead, men plowed and women weaved, and men plowed and women weaved. Dashun, through the acquisition of yarn, gave them the motivation and financial resources to buy cotton finished products.

The more cotton sold in Europe.

There are more Indians growing cotton and spinning yarn.

The more Indians who grew cotton and spun yarn, the more cotton cloth could be sold in India.

And this is the prerequisite for India's awakening and crisis transmission.

Spinning... In terms of efficiency, it is the easiest to be replaced by mechanical spinning mills.

Liu Yu said that the mule spinning machine is difficult to handle, it is true.

But once it is done, it is also true that the efficiency will instantly collapse the hand spinning industry.

A loom is relatively easy to set up.

But in terms of efficiency, history has proved that mechanical weaving wants to replace Dashun's handmade cloth, especially after the iron wheel loom became popular, and reached the level of the middle of the second industrial revolution.

Therefore, this method should be the least harmful method to Dashun’s transformation, and also the method that will have the greatest impact on Dashun’s industrialization once a crisis breaks out.

That is: the large amount of cotton yarn in India will first crowd out the hand-spinners in Dashun, who are not many in number.

Moreover, a large number of housewives can easily transform from spinning and weaving by themselves to buying cotton yarn and weaving by themselves.

Of course, this requires continuous capital investment to continue to expand the scope of iron wheel looms going to the countryside, and it must be fully spread along the canal network and the Yangtze River.

Wait until all the people who spin in Dashun die, or transform into professional weaving.

Dashun's next step of industrialization is the way that will have the least impact on Dashun.

That is, spinning mechanization.

That is, cotton from India is transported away and processed into cotton yarn in factories in the Songsu area.

Does this affect Dashun's family?

Actually, it has no effect.

Because, prior to this, Dashun’s spinning activities had been eliminated by relying on cotton cloth from India.

The rest is all weaving.

The replacement of Indian handmade yarn with Songsu mechanical yarn will have zero impact on the tens of thousands of weavers in Dashun.

Of course, it just seems that the impact is zero, but in fact the fatal impact needs to let the bullet fly for a while.

The rapid development of the cotton cloth industry in Dashun will directly destroy the cotton textile industry in Europe after the victory of World War I.

Europe is bound to move toward comprehensive conservatism, countries will also develop a strong self-improvement sentiment, and Kerberism will become popular in Europe.

Unify the internal market, increase tariffs, develop independent industries, and fight against dumping abroad.

In Europe, where comprehensive conservatism and comprehensive Kerberism prevail, a battle is bound to be fought.

All this is transmitted back to Dashun, which means the market is shrinking.

At the same time, Dashun's comprehensive spinning mechanization will indeed not have a direct impact on Dashun, but it will definitely bring the impact of collapse to India.

It is self-evident what kind of impact Dashun's second step of textile industrialization will bring to a deformed economy whose main industry is cotton yarn production.

Even the turmoil that occurred in Surat due to the Dashun's voyage to Southeast Asia was a preview of this situation.

Once it breaks out, it will be India's economic collapse, national uprising, turmoil, revolution, famine, and war.

Very simple, a family originally lived by spinning.

Life is going well, Dashun's cotton cloth is selling well, so they can also drink soup along with it.

But when the spinning industry in Dashun sprung up like mushrooms after rain—this was inevitable, because the spinning efficiency of the mule spinning machine was dozens of times that of hand spinning, and the handmade yarn would definitely not be as tenacious as the handmade cloth, and Handmade cloth provides an extremely large market for mechanical yarn, and capital investment is inevitable-these Indian families who could still maintain their lives will find that they cannot survive.

As long as they don't want to be An An and starve to death.

As long as they have a certain spirit of resistance.

Then this crisis will lead to chaos in India, that is, the rapid shrinkage of the Dashun industrial product market, and the extreme relative overproduction will immediately appear in the Dashun Songsu area.

At this time, the shocking thunder that Liu Yu planted for Dashun will be effective—that is, those who use iron wheel looms and pretend to be men farming and women weaving, but in fact have been completely pulled into the capitalist market Families - they will feel the plight of the economic crisis immediately.

Small farmers don't want to get involved in factories?

Sorry, you don't have a choice.You think you are a small farmer, but in fact you are not the moment you take over that iron wheel loom.

The crisis will be transmitted directly to the vast countryside.

Not just the Songsu Industrial Zone with many factories.

After the crisis breaks out, how to solve it is a matter for future generations.

Three ways, God knows.
