Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1416 The Last Step of the Yellow River Problem ([-])
The policy of not allowing a nail to be produced in North America applies to the UK, but not to Dashun.

To learn this method is to beg for the sword without hesitation.

Dashun's policy on Fusang is very clear: after the gold is dug out, the silver is dug out, and your trade cycle, go play with the Atlantic Ocean yourself.

Afterwards, Zhao Tuo's story of whether to act or not, and even more love to act but not to act, was never intended to be the core of the story.

Of course, there is no need to worry about separation in the early stage. After all, the capitalism of the west coast and Xinyizhou now relies on Dashun's colonialism, and the distorted social relations created by the state's force.Without Dashun's national strength, it would collapse the next day, and no one could be hired in the factory.

In these years and this land, only a fool can become a worker if he can be a farmer.

Therefore, Villandry heard that the textile industry was to be developed here.

In fact, beyond what he had heard, it wasn't just about developing the textile industry.

It is also necessary to develop wood processing, river boat manufacturing, coal mining, iron smelting blast furnaces, etc., and so on.

Dashun basically has no industrial restrictions here.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no such things at all. For example, Dashun will restrict the third child.

But with this kind of restriction, you don't even have to fart.

The climate here cannot grow tea.I have never heard that tea can be grown in a place with a precipitation line of 450 mm and a frost-free period of [-] days.

The climate here cannot rub silk.I have never heard of the ability to grow mulberry trees on grasslands.The climate of the Italians can’t grow black mulberries. British Charlie tried to grow red mulberries and the result was like silk cakes. Not to mention this, Mexico tried hard to plant mulberry trees in the late Ming Dynasty to raise silkworms, but the eggs were useless. The climate No play.

The population here can't pinch porcelain either.These years, with the development of foreign trade, master craftsmen who can knead and burn porcelain, firstly, Dashun's control and prohibition of leaving the country all need to register with the joint insurance company, and secondly, people will definitely not want to come.

Except for the third child, the rest are all at will.

It just so happens that even if there is no announcement about this third thing, it can't be done here.

Therefore, after the wine industry opened up the trade line as the early pillar industry, the remaining industries also began to be cultivated.

Looking at it in the long run, or taking the dream of free trade as a basic theorem of reality, the textile industry here will end sooner or later.

It can even be said that it violates the principle of trade at all.

Once Dashun's cotton textile industry starts to be fully mechanized, and under technical exchanges, cotton cannot be grown here, and there will definitely be no prospects for the textile industry.Because the southern part of the east coast is one of the most suitable places in the world to grow cotton, and the population is sufficient.

However, just as free trade is a "dream" and "ideal" like Zhou Li, it is not a basic theorem of reality.Since a place like Manchester could develop into the center of the textile industry in the 19th century, it even defeated Indian cotton cloth, which was superior in technology, cost and quality.

So, it can be seen that this thing is just an ideal at all, not a basic theorem of reality.Therefore, the development of the textile industry here is not only possible, but it can even effectively complete the dumping of the thirteen states, even if the thirteen states can grow cotton and are very suitable for growing cotton; while here it is only grown with wheat, potatoes and rapeseed Seeds are not suitable for growing cotton at all.

Of course, this does not mean that this place will end in the future, and the city will be turned into Qiu Ruins, just like the canal city in Northwest Shandong or the story of Yangzhou at this time.Because later generations here is the second largest energy center in North America, with super-large oil fields and super-large coal mines. It is precisely because of these energy sources that the transformation from an agricultural province to an energy province has been completed in history—in fact, there is a large coal mine next to it. And the big oil field, this side refers to within a hundred miles of the bend of the elbow river, and it belongs to the kind that can be dug out with a hoe, and it is the kind that can be dug out with a hoe and planer, and it is not the same as that in southern Sichuan. The energy depth to boil salt with natural gas can vary widely for hundreds of meters.

The textile industry will definitely end in the future, but this does not prevent the establishment of the textile industry now.The Russians have already developed the flax carding machine, and Dashun has already learned the wool weaving technology.

The positioning here is the industrial center west of Dashi Mountain, which relies on the cooperation of industrial development and myopic colonial theory to absorb population and complete population migration.

There are large coal mines, iron, and even 85% of Canada's oil, natural gas, coal mines and other energy companies in later generations are all here.

It is also an important wheat producing area and rapeseed producing area in the world for later generations.

It should be said that this place is very suitable for industrial development.

Moreover, the capital is also convenient, because the gold and silver in the Jinshan area can be directly invested here.

In terms of transportation, this is the upper reaches of the big rivers on the east coast of North America, and you can jump to the Mississippi River Basin not far south; all the way to the East is the Great Lakes.

Almost perfect transportation environment; resource environment; backed by Dashun's "money printing factory" west coast gold and silver mine; itself is a perfect primary industry planting area.

Although for the time being, from the perspective of world trade and gold and silver as the world currency, this trade cycle still seems to be a painful circle for the time being.It is quite weak to use fur and ginseng as the medium to complete the trade cycle.

But in a short period of time, or even for a long time, ginseng can still attract a lot of money.

Second, in a short period of time, the fur fever will continue for a long time, and even the real peak has not yet come.Factors such as the leading of fashion, the differentiation of society, and the increasing purchasing power of luxury goods make it far from the highest peak of fur trade in history.

In the original history, the historical significance of the fur trade in North America was as follows: the fur trade in North America allowed fur traders to obtain a large amount of profits, which happened to be invested in the textile industry when the industrial revolution broke out.To a certain extent, it strengthened the cotton planting industry in the southern states of North America, and to a certain extent, strengthened slavery in North America.

But now, it should be possible to say that the fur trade in North America, as a medium of currency circulation, greatly promoted the speed of Chinese immigration to North America, and was the most important factor in the early development of capitalism on the west coast of North America.

Of course, it is still a bit weak to say that only relying on fur and ginseng trade to promote the industrial development of Xinyizhou.

But just like many things, such as colonial plunder, the key is not "how much money was plundered", but the significance of the early start-up stage.

A steamed bun when you are dying of starvation, and a steamed bun when you are rich are both the same steamed bun, but I am afraid they are definitely not the same meaning.

Dashun's immigration policy here is not to engage in the tenancy system, and to ensure that every agricultural labor force can reach their labor limit.

This makes the more immigrants here, the wider the market, and every owner farmer is a potential consumer.

It can even be said that in terms of cloth consumption, one farmer here is worth ten or even twenty farmers in Dashun.

The difficulty is only in the early stages.

As long as it is in the early stage, the population migration here can be pulled up by relying on ginseng and fur trade.Once a certain amount is reached, a spontaneous inner circulation is formed.

Of course, this also requires Dashun to make another preparation in advance, which is the currency issue.

Once the spontaneous internal circulation starts, it can be played with banknotes, gold and silver, or even shells on the east coast of North America in the early days.

But if Dashun does not intervene in the currency issue early, sooner or later, it will find an embarrassing situation, that is... there is a lack of gold and silver here, and the east coast also lacks gold and silver. In fact, the gold and silver currency can only rely on the turnover of fur and ginseng trade.

Most of the gold and silver mines on the west coast will not stay in North America.Either go back to Dashun Songsu for industrial development, or go to India, or go to Southeast Asia, and maybe only a small part will stay in North America-this small part is enough for New Yizhou's early capital raising.

After all, there are tens of millions of taels of gold in a gold mountain.

And Dashun must consider in advance that if it does not interfere with the currency, completes the issuance of banknotes to North America as soon as possible and keeps pace with its own country, then problems will arise in the future.

The industrial orientation of Xinyizhou is oriented towards North America.

But North America is short of gold and silver except for the west coast.

In the case of internal circulation, currency is currency, and it can be exchanged for gold and silver, or anchored by grain, and it is no problem to play in North America.

But the key problem is Dashun's positioning of Xinyizhou, and Dashun pays people to emigrate from Dashun.

This will lead to an embarrassing scene similar to doing business between the thirteen states and the United Kingdom-the merchants in the thirteen states take the banknotes to pay off their debts, and the British merchants look at the banknotes and wonder what I want your banknotes for?I can buy grain, but why the hell am I paying for a bunch of grain to ship back to England?
The problem in Xinyizhou is the same. If Dashun does not intervene in the currency early, sooner or later the industries here will develop and there will be money, but there will be no money recognized by Dashun.And in that case, emigration would be out of the question.

For example, people running ships.

It should be noted that industry can be developed in North America, but the transportation industry, especially the passenger ship, must be linked to the mainland of Dashun. This must not be mistaken.

To link with Dashun, it is necessary to ensure that these industries that urgently need wage laborers must receive money approved by Dashun.Dashun does not recognize the banknotes issued by the internal circulation yourself, because it is useless to recognize it, because Mao can’t buy it, or Dashun itself has an industry, and he is sick. Go across the Pacific Ocean to buy wine, iron, and linen. ?

In theory, it seems to say that the local industry in North America can not be linked to Dashun.In this way, the factory owners who are in urgent need of wage labor give money to the ship owners who transport people. Anyway, the ship owners are spending money in North America, so they will accept the money.

Surely no problem in theory.At least only from a North American perspective, no problem.

The problem is that it's hard to say if the people who do it this way are from Dashun.

Can't it be shipped to Japan?The route is closer and the cost is lower; wouldn’t it be great if they couldn’t be transported to North Korea?

From the perspective of North America, there must be no problem: I only want wage laborers, I want hard labor, I don’t care if this person is a fucking Japanese, Korean, islander or Chinese?How come cheap.

But from Dashun's point of view, there must be a big problem: I just want to send people out, and the people I send are from North China, of course they cannot be Japanese, Korean, or islanders, they must be Chinese. The purpose is to alleviate the contradiction between people and land, and alleviate the pain of the huge shock of small farmers' bankruptcy.Otherwise, what am I going to do?

Therefore, the business of transporting people across the Pacific Ocean must and can only be guaranteed to be bound smoothly, and the immigrants in North America cannot be allowed to play by themselves.

Otherwise, if they could transport slaves, they would never transport peasants; if they could transport the closer Japanese, they would never transport the people of North China.

This also led to the fact that Dashun had to issue banknotes, which were directly compatible with Dashun's native land, so as to ensure that this set of colonial techniques could continue.

In particular, when its industry is developed and a large number of wage laborers are about to be needed, it is ensured that the money can be used to buy things in Dashun.Although it can create some inflation, it is not a big problem, and it is better than embarrassingly watching that the capital in North America is rich and profitable, but there is no world currency, which leads to the interruption of the immigration plan.

Therefore, what Villandry can see is only a small, too small microcosm.He just lamented that Dashun's colony actually allowed the development of industry.

In fact, behind this, it involves a series of policies such as industry, colonialism, distortion of social relations, issuance of banknotes, Jinyinshan's promotion of Dashun's internal currency reform, the abolition of copper and silver currencies, and the use of small currencies as gold and silver secondary currencies. .

Don't look at Dashun, or counting from Daming, they keep sucking up silver.

But in fact, without mining gold and silver, Dashun is still far from the gold and silver standard.That bit of gold and silver is not enough compared to the country's huge economic aggregate.

Whether it is Dashun or Daming, it is not a silver standard.Copper coins are not the auxiliary currency of silver. Copper coins and silver are the relationship between domestic currency and foreign currency, but Ming Dashun uses foreign currency as tax currency.

Both Daming and Dashun did not have the right to issue banknotes, and the seigniorage was not collected by the imperial court, but the merchants on the southeast coast were collecting the national seigniorage.

The development of gold and silver mines on the west coast and the lifting of the industrial ban in Xinyizhou are behind the currency reform that is happening in Dashun, which is not seen by Villandry.And this reform is closely related to the immigration plan and industrial development here.
