Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1490 Final Chapter Ninety-Three Years (Eight)
Many, many years ago, when Dashun was still asleep.

Facing the impact of the East India Company's imported oriental cotton cloth on the British woolen textile industry, Defoe used somewhat exaggerated brushwork to describe the general depression, jobless misery, and poverty.After the two prohibition orders on cotton cloth were issued, he praised the effect of the cotton cloth prohibition order without hesitation, saying that the textile industry in London suddenly came alive.

Many, many years ago, when Dashun was half asleep and half awake.

Dutch handicraftsmen, guilds, and farmers looked at the prosperous financial and shipping industries in Amsterdam, and at the oligarchic businessmen in various cities swallowing up everything in the past with finance. In desperation, they regarded the Orange family as a The real savior, I hope the Orange family can save them, restrict imports and the financial industry, and don't let the story of the collapse of the Leiden textile industry repeat itself.

Many, many years ago, when Dashun just woke up.

The French Association of Joinery, Lacquerware Workers' Federation, and Silk Weaving Association collectively petitioned and made statements.I hope that the East India Company will stop bringing those lacquerware, furniture, and silk from the East.If you are lucky, everyone will really not be able to survive.So the Chancellor of the Exchequer wrote a special letter to the East India Company, warning them: I am not against your profit, nor against your trade, I just remind you that if you continue to do this, it will cause a huge backlash.

Yes, this is the case.

Even when Dashun just woke up, he was still not crushing industry against industry, but merely crushing handicraft against industry.

However, what Lao Ma said: In the era of handicraft factories, naval warfare won commercial hegemony, and commercial hegemony can bring about industrial development.Only in the industrial age will financial capital become a vassal of industrial capital.

This sentence is so true.

Because, in the world before 1800, there was no crushing of "industrial handicrafts" imagined by later generations.

The world before 1800 was as Lao Ma said: heavy taxation, protection system, colonization, and fierce shipbuilding.Build ships to win commercial wars, gain commercial hegemony, and use the logic of commercial capital to drive the country's industrial development.

The developed handicraft industry in the East was defeated by Europe's more efficient centralization, stronger violent machines, and more scientifically trained troops.

Where commercial capital was ruled, the old order was destroyed by the inevitable robbery system-India did not die from the crushing of industrial handicrafts, India died under the rule of the fleet, army and commercial capital's robbery system.

but.

At this time, the age of steam, the age of industry, has quietly arrived.

Therefore, when Dashun's pioneering area gradually transformed from a handicraft workshop to a large industrial factory, more trouble than the previous handicraft era also came.

Dashun has industry, population, market for commercial hegemony, land to be developed, and a lot of cheap labor needed to develop the land.

Therefore, Europe is not just the previous era of handicraft workshops. Dashun’s real mercantilism “under the banner of free trade” caused by the advantages of the handicraft industry in 2000 and the exchange rate difference in silver’s purchasing power has an impact on European mercantilism.

It also brought a large amount of capital from Europe, which flocked to Dashun and became a vassal of the industry.

Cheap labor, even if it is investing in land to grow soybeans, even if it is to grow cotton in the Fusang Golden Valley, the return on investment is higher than in Europe.

Because the population, labor prices, policies and other factors in Dashun provide more suitable conditions for the social relationship of capitalism.

The combination of these two problems has made life in Europe...some people really have a good time, while some people are really sad.

The financial industry is getting rich, the shipping industry is getting rich, and the import merchants are getting rich. Of course, their life is getting better and better, and they have become the people who support the free trade led by Dashun, or the "natural order under the national trading system". Loyalists in Europe.

But in the same way, they are having a good time, but some people are sad, and their life is getting worse and worse.

There are many people whose life is getting worse and worse.

The Physiocrats in the central area of ​​the Enlightenment carried out several waves of radical reforms.

Therefore, the strength of the rebound is great.

This is why the young Napoleon was complicated.

Troubled times are approaching, if given a chance, a low-ranking nobleman may be able to rise to a position unimaginable under the old rituals and music in the tide of the times.

But in the troubled times, Dashun is eyeing him like a tiger.

It's like a terrifying, hungry beast, frantically devouring everything in Europe.

Cotton textile industry.

finance.

silver.

wood industry.

silk industry.

ceramics.

The coffee industry...

What about absolute advantage and relative advantage?

Apart from Caribbean sugar, apart from French wine...what else does France have in comparison?And even these things, such as wine, face the impact of substitutes; and sugar, it is purely because of the high transportation cost, otherwise, as Hume said, if there is no ocean as a natural tariff, the whole of Europe will be filled with Goods made in China.

decades.

Dashun allows Europe to find absolute and relative advantages.

However, it seems that these do not exist.

unemployment.

confusion.

despair.

The bankruptcy of the artisans.

In the face of dumping, the country's industrial capital will be destroyed little by little, and it will not be built at all.

The people in Dashun said it was a labor pain.

Because you have too much silver and gold in Europe.

According to Liu Yu's theory of national wealth, silver and gold are not wealth at all.

Therefore, as long as your silver and gold continue to flow out, and you persist until the per capita silver deposits in Europe are as large as those in Dashun, then a good time will come!

Only when the bubble fades can you Europe find your absolute and relative advantages.

But this pain is too painful.

It's not just a problem of commodity dumping, it's also a problem of crazy capital flow to the East.

There is also a large outflow of silver and gold, which has caused a serious currency shortage in Europe and chaos everywhere-this is not an era of printing money, this is an era of gold, silver and precious metals.

Are these confusions caused by this person?

This is macroscopic.

From a more direct perspective, it created a situation that frightened Europeans.

For example, at this time Napoleon was in the French city named Minnemoulin.

The river is the border.

On the other side of the river is the border city of Dashun.

Yet 50 years ago, there were no cities here.

Now, a city with a population of tens of thousands has appeared here. Using the water power of the waterfall, industries such as mills, sawmills, shipbuilding, wheat processing, flour, and wine making have developed crazily.

Fifty years ago, there were only a small number of people in Dashun on the west coast of North America, and even more were just fleets engaged in fur trade.

But now, with the mining of gold and silver mines, the development of the cotton wine industry, and more population migration.

Two large cities with a population of more than 20 people have emerged.

One Fenglin Bay, one Jinshan.

And a population of 20 means that it must be a city like Amsterdam, London, or Paris in Europe.

In the Cape of Good Hope, 50 years ago, there were only a small number of Chinese immigrants who planted lemons there to prepare for Dashun's participation in World War I.

Now, there are nearly 30 people there.

It seems that China's population is infinite.They are looking for every arable land and rooting here.

The French and Dashun fought for so long. When they finally built the railway, they chose to attack Dashun because they opposed the metric unit that they participated in. Therefore, if France wants to build a railway, it must build a one-meter track in the metric unit... …

The so-called metric unit, or the objection to Dashun's use of the retro six feet, are all appearances.The real reason, many people know, is to prevent Dashun under the railway connection from attacking in the future.

Today, some French people have begun to ask: Did we really win the First World War?Who is the real winner of World War I?

True, the French kept North America.

Because France kept North America, the willingness of the thirteen states to resist quickly decreased. Facing the threat of Dashun and France, Britain was able to complete the reform and control of the thirteen states.

Therefore, France needs to be more tied to Dashun, because the population of the thirteen states is several million, while the population of France here is too small, which requires the help of Dashun.

Fur traders and ginseng traders are also happy with this kind of binding.

However, the deeper the binding, the French finally realized that the Puritans were certainly a threat because they had a population of millions; but Dashun, a newcomer, had a population of millions in North America in just three to fifty years.

Indeed, Dashun smashed the British "Navigation Regulations" and "Commodity Enumeration Act".

The horn of free trade is floating in the Atlantic Ocean.

However, after the French rejoiced, they found that France had almost nothing.

Dutch capital flocked to Dashun instead of France.

The North American market is flooded with cotton cloth and tea from Dashun.

New England wine made with cheap French honey, whiskey made by Irish immigrants, and top French wine could not find a market in North America at all.

Dashun's handicrafts, lacquerware, woodware, fans and other light industrial products, with the help of the Rhine River, suppressed the French imitation products so that there was no room for survival.

Triangle Trade, Dashun has become the industrial product provider of Triangle Trade.

It is true that Dashun does not participate in the slave trade, nor can it squeeze in. However, slave traders will give priority to Dashun's industrial products because they are cheaper and more profitable.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the French have been keen on speculation and finance these years, because the French have discovered that there is no good investment direction at all.

If this is the case in France, which has been deeply influenced by Colbertism, what will happen to the rest of the countries?
Under such circumstances, many "so-called New Enlightenment" factions in Europe began to mutter the story of the Mongolian Western Expedition.It seems that the sound of Humai is attached to the cotton cloth, porcelain, and tea leaves.

To make slogans work, the language must be incisive, powerful, clear and easy to understand, it must be labeled, and more importantly, it must have historical allusions.

It is difficult for people to imagine what they have not experienced.

People's brains always take new things they see and look for an old thing in their minds to put them on for easy understanding.

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

These things, in France, are the most widely spread places, not only in Paris, but also in Lyon, the center of the French silk industry.

This is where France was hit hardest by Dashun.

The impacted craftsmen burned cotton cloth, burned tea, hindered the construction of railways, and opposed metric units.

And more, they saw the opportunity and contributed to it.Slogans and propaganda that are easier to understand, more incisive and more powerful, and more labelled, will be widely spread among these craftsmen.

Cartoons depicting densely packed Chinese migrating from the East, occupying every inch of the earth, were spread throughout Europe.

Catholicism, because of Dashun’s ban on religion, exerted their huge influence among the people, calling for the unity of the Christian world and launching a holy war against atheists—they even denounced Voltaire and others as agents of the devil in France , aimed at destroying the faith of France and blinding the light of God.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, the young Napoleon had a certain affection for the East even because of his childhood experience.But more, still uneasy, doubts, confusion and fear.

Sometimes, he even thought: Europe is what it is because of division.Separation brings chaos and irrational competition among countries.Because Dashun has a vast territory, they can use their relative and absolute advantages in the economy.Moreover, the huge population and strong national power give him an absolute advantage over the divided Europe.

Perhaps what Europe needs more now is a first emperor in their history.Only in this way can we gather the power of Europe to withstand the invasion of China in the Americas, Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Perhaps, we must oppose the injustice of the old system, the so-called natural order state system dominated by China, and their agents in Europe: those importers and compradors.

This is not his only thought.

Rather, many French, many Europeans, have had this vague idea.

The radical French Physiocratism has slowly given way to the compromised Italian Physiocratism: Free trade is required internally, proper control is required for foreign trade, the keynote is natural order, and state intervention is also indispensable.

Just as Dashun ridiculed the radical policies of the French Physiocrats, saying that they did not understand the actions of the opposite and the usefulness of the weak.Everything in the world is born of being, and being is born of non-existence.

In the same way, Dashun's mercantilism under the banner of free trade, as well as its continuous gold-absorbing and dumping of industrial products to Europe, have also given birth to the awakening of European nations-the opposite is the way, and the weak are used.Everything in the world is born of being, and being is born of non-existence.

As an important force of the European bourgeoisie, urban citizens and handicraftsmen have been forced to oppose Dashun by the products of Dashun.

The empire, however, pinned its hopes on the group of people sitting in the Parisian salon drinking coffee.
