Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1487 Final Chapter Ninety Three Years (V)
In addition, there is a very big difference.

It is Dashun's previous reforms, conquests, etc., which essentially obtained food from the Northeast to Japan and then to Southeast Asia.

This made Dashun's reforms in the pioneering areas encounter a situation where "cheap rice hurts farmers" and forced landlords to transform.

Rather than the French Physiocrats, the "Migui Chaos" caused by the French Physiocrats broke out again and again nationwide chaos.

These two are the two sides of free trade.

Essentially the same thing.

But the difference is quite big.

The former can be suppressed.

Liu Yu suppressed it, and the price of rice hurt farmers, and the price of grain was suppressed, which greatly promoted the development of industry and commerce in the Songsu area.

The latter cannot be suppressed.

Food prices are low, and most people are dissatisfied.

The price of food is so high that they can't afford it at all, and there will be big troubles.

Even if it is said that these two things are the same thing, they are both free trade.

But the difference is huge. As long as you understand the truth that "people will die if they don't eat", they can jump out of pure economics and understand the difference between the two.

And, one more thing.

Surrounding France...Let's put it this way, France is in the periphery, and does not have the overall advantage of industry or handicrafts.

The development of handicraft industry and urbanization in various European countries has promoted the continuous rise of food prices, which has also created the status quo of French speculators constantly tossing food prices.

And around Dashun...the handicraft industry, or rather, the industry, there is no one that can beat it.

North Korea does not mention it, and Japan does not mention it.Nanyang... Nanyang is basically monopolized by the Chinese relying on local production after the end of Ming Dynasty.

The only India that can compete with Dashun is only a geographical concept.After the death of Aurangzeb, Dashun won the first battle, using the old horse's "robbery system after commercial capital gains dominion", directly abolishing India's handicraft industry.

Let's say that.

The handicraft industry in Dashun is actually very strong, so strong that even before the reform, the textile industry in Northwest Shandong was at the top level in the world in 1700.

However, the handicraft industry and industry in the advanced coastal areas are stronger than those in the interior because of factors such as raw materials, transportation, comparative advantages, food prices, and labor costs.

This makes Dashun, of course, support free trade in the pioneering areas after the reform. Anyway, as long as there is no shortage of food, stable food prices, a navy in hand, and Nanyang, Japan, Siam, etc. are all within the control range, they can trade freely. What's the matter?Moreover, Dashun itself had a very traditional and long-standing experience in state regulation of rice prices.It is nothing more than relying on canals in the past, but now relying on sea transportation. The difference is really not big.

If.

Originally, in history, the reforms of the group of French Physiocrats were purely "establishing an ideal country."

Well, at this time, the reforms of this group of people from the French Physiocratic School, in view of the deepening of exchanges, are not so easy to establish the Utopia.

In recent years, Enlightenment Scholars and Physiocrats in France have been studying Dashun.

However, they simply don't understand what kind of monster the current Dashun monarchy is.

In fact, Dashun is now the emperor, with two crowns on his head.

One is the Holy Son of Heaven in the inland area, the traditional imperial examination system for small-scale peasant economy.

The population here is about 3 million.

The other is to start in such a large territory as the two provinces, Northeast China, Southeast Asia, Japan, Fusang, North Korea, India, etc.The guardian of the capitalist system; the maintainer of the new celestial dynasty system; the holy emperor of the comprador groups in various countries; the guardian of the interests of the "pure feudal" in the new world order, including Japanese, Koreans, Javanese, and Indians. The beneficiaries of the new order...

The population here is about 3 million.

The reason these two crowns have become one is because of compromise.

The outer crown is afraid that the mainland will blow them up with force; while the inner crown is afraid that the outside world will blow their money away.

That's right, the benefactors and fathers of the whole class must take something from one class before giving it to another class.

However, the external crown rests on the misery of the Korean grain return system; the squeeze of the Japanese tribute system; the blood and tears of the Indian handicraft industry; and the whip marks of the Nanyang plantations.

From bayonets and warships, took things from the outside, gave a new class that didn't exist before, but has now become a powerful force, fed them, and stabilized their temporary desire to eat the inner market hunger.

Under Li Yan's so-called "new ritual law" and "new world system".

His people are not just people from Dashun.

It also includes the bottom of the rest of the countries under this new etiquette, new world system, and fake free trade.

His ministers are not just from Dashun's side.

It also includes those who sell grain in North Korea, those who open copper mines in Japan, those who run compradors in port cities in India, those who kill European manufacturing in the Netherlands, and those who kill the textile industry in North America...they are all so-called new The minister of "Su Feng" under the international order.

To some extent, the French Physiocrats are actually considered.

After all, it is up to them to defeat Colbert's industrial substitutionism and industrial protectionism in mainland France.

However, they are too aggressive.

The French "Flour War" has been repeated several times, which is too scary.

After going around, I was stunned to ruin the reputation of the Physiocrats and the natural order in France.

Together with the [Famine Conspiracy], and the fact that the survival of French national capital is being increasingly compressed, it directly created the anti-Dashun sentiment in Europe.

Of course, this is not a good thing for Dashun.

Dashun had high hopes for the French Physiocratic School.

On the one hand, the Physiocratic School itself has a deep cultural imprint on the Chinese side.

Whether it is Quesnay or Turgo, if you say that they are "fabricating the Utopia" to "restructure the East", that is what they are doing, because even if it is the Utopia and "restructuring the East", there is still An ideal country, after all, has to be entrusted to the east.

This point is also integrated with the strong idea of ​​"a distant utopia to promote political reform in the country" in the French Enlightenment.

It can be said that this is Dashun's most successful cultural invasion in Europe over the years.

On the other hand, this set of things from the Physiocratic School is indeed what Dashun needs.Moreover, they also use such things as "Tao follows nature" and "natural order" to construct a model of an idealized capitalist society.

Historically, Britain won the Seven Years' War and Turgot's reforms failed, which led to "The Wealth of Nations" getting the biblical rights of "natural order" or "invisible hand".

The strong are worthy of receiving the scriptures.

And now, obviously, Dashun wants to grab the invisible hand, the right to the Bible of free trade.

Here, it is natural to rely on things like natural order, Taoism to follow nature, and inaction.

Free trade requires skill.

The status quo is that when the heavenly soldiers go to other people's territory to rob them of their tariffs, they have to be beaten out of their shit, and their delivery capabilities are insufficient.

Then we can only rely on supporting models.

Moreover, this model, instead of being a small country, must be an influential big country.

Holland is useless.Because the Netherlands originally had a golden age, was rich and small, and was itself a financial center, which was not convincing.

If France can succeed, then Dashun's new world system will really be established.

You see, France has been thriving since it started Physiocracy... What kind of model is this?What kind of attraction?

But that's the problem.

Da Shun the Celestial Dynasty, how should I put it, he knows a truth.

That is, people have nothing to eat, so they want to rebel.

This truth is not something that any heaven can understand.

When the moon is full, it will lose, and when things are extreme, they will be reversed.

This also made Dashun quite contradictory.

Support the Physiocrats?
stand by.

Moreover, I very much hope that they will succeed-the Physiocrats believe that tariffs are meaningless and only increase the cost of living for domestic consumers; and land is the only source of value, so the tariff issue does not affect the accumulation of national wealth.

There is a logical inference here.

The cornerstone of the Physiocrats was the doctrine of pure products.

That is: [Wealth is a material product, and the source of wealth is not circulation but production.So the production of wealth means the creation of matter and the increase of its quantity]

[In all economic sectors, they believe that only agriculture is productive, because only agriculture produces material products and can be expressed as an increase in the amount of material wealth in the use value of inputs and outputs]

[Industry does not create material but only changes or combines the existing forms of material wealth, and business does not create any material wealth]

For example, cotton, which is produced by the land.

And what about cotton?You just rubbed cotton into cloth.Cotton already exists, you just changed the form of cotton, can you call this wealth creation?Obviously not, you rubbing cotton didn’t create any wealth at all—this is the fundamental difference between Dashun’s practical school and the French Physiocrats, the value of land is still the value of labor.

So, what follows from this?
It can be deduced from this that tariffs are meaningless, because industry does not create wealth, but only changes the form of material wealth.Wealth is created from the land.

Since industry does not create wealth, why do we need tariffs?
It doesn't make sense.

It also increases the cost of the nation out of thin air. For example, the landlord wants to spend more wages to hire people, because the wages include the tariff on cotton cloth, and so on.

This is a complete logical chain.

Of course Dashun liked this theory, and he liked it very much.

However, if the Physiocrats toss about another reform and create a wave of flour wars, the Dashun thing will be completely rotten.

Still the same sentence: [People create their own history, but they do not create it arbitrarily, not under the conditions chosen by themselves, but under the conditions directly encountered, established and inherited from the past. down to create.The traditions of all dead ancestors haunt the minds of the living like a nightmare]

Dashun himself created a division of the internal and external.

Coupled with the experience of Dashun’s 2000-year-old ancestors, Dashun is too clear, and it has really become "hoarding goods", "businessmen are completely free to control prices", "land is completely free to buy and sell", "handicrafts are generally unemployed ", what will be the consequences.

At that time, don't say that Dashun wants to set up a model of "physiocratism", "free trade" and "natural order" in Europe.

I'm afraid, it's completely reversed.

On the French side, it is time to set up a model of "industrial substitution", "national capital", "protectionism" and "national industry" for Europe.

If we really get to that point, I'm afraid it will become a domino and produce a series of chain reactions.

The whole of Europe has turned to protectionism and Kerberism, and Dashun is about to cry. Technology has reached the threshold. If countries really engage in protectionism and their own industrial substitutionism, it is easy to chase after it. Dashun will To completely lose the Atlantic market, retract east of the Cape of Good Hope.

According to Dashun's experience, the founding soldiers are all very capable of fighting.For military delivery, Dashun really can't afford delivery. Besides, even if it can deliver 5 to [-] people to fight a group of founding soldiers, wouldn't it be to deliver food?

What's more, there are problems within Dashun now, and India is also in chaos.

At this juncture, if something happened to Europe again, then the Dashun Dynasty would really be in big trouble.

It is not easy to shrink the Dashun strategy. If you go back, what should you do with those people who are bound in European trade.

This may involve millions of people. Is it necessary to open up the mainland market and allow tax-free goods from the first-developing areas and no capital controls to enter the mainland?If you dare to do this, it will be a lot of fun.

Therefore, the trick that Liu Yu played at the beginning was a dead end, and there was no way to shrink back, so he could only force Dashun to show his teeth and claws.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry Liu Yu's coffin, engage in deadly diplomacy, make a big splash, and return to the country from the Atlantic Ocean for burial—through gorgeous ceremonies, to awaken the memory of the whole of Europe, that legend uses Physiocratism and natural order The empire is so rich and powerful, you should use it too.The transformation is of course painful, and of course there will be flour wars, famines and so on. After the pain is over, it will be fine. You should not give up eating because of choking.
