Chapter 1503 Final Chapter Ninety-three Years (Twenty-one)

current situation.

Especially after these people who came back from the Atlantic Ocean protecting Liu Yu's coffin brought what they saw and heard back to the mainland, the situation is already quite ugly.

It can't be said that one hair will move the whole body.

It can only be said that Dashun is a suture monster created purely by Liu Yu's sewing. Now that every part of the suture has its own consciousness, it is urgent to determine who will become the main body and swallow the rest of the body.

When it was stitched up, it worked just fine.

However, after suturing for so long, it has reached the point where it can no longer be stretched.

Still take Tianjin as an example, even if Tianjin is already considered a pioneering area, and its industry and commerce are already quite developed.

But around Tianjin, a small place, there have been no fewer than dozens of quarrels in the past two or three decades.

And it can be said that every time, it is related to the fate of thousands of people.

It even made Li Yan's rule more and more unsustainable.

Just this one place.

For example, the cotton textile industry.

With Li Yan coming to power, the railway was built, the capital was still in the capital, and the railway began to extend northward.

At the time of Liu Yu, the Practical School was still small, and there was still an old force inside that was deliberately abstracted by Liu Yu and created a hostile force—or in other words, in the crooked scriptures, the first one defined in Saint-Simon’s elitism The second class: the group of people who should give way to people who are more in line with the times but do not give way.

Therefore, in the face of this abstract enemy created by him, on the whole, the Real School is still united.

In addition, he was indeed able to control the situation at that time, not only by talking nonsense, but mainly because of external expansion and Fusang immigration, which can be regarded as prestige.

Waiting for him to run away, chaos later, and Li Yan came to power, the real school fell apart all of a sudden.

In itself, there are three crooked scriptures.In addition to the revival of a hundred schools of thought, each takes what it needs out of context, and I will annotate it.

And after Li Yan came to power, he definitely needed to win over some people to stabilize the situation in the capital and so on.

With the completion of the railway and its extension to Mongolia and Northeast China, new problems soon emerged.

Originally, it was Songsu's textile industry that provided the cotton cloth needed in the Northeast and the trading products needed in Mongolia.

As for the big head of Rakshasa's trade with Mongolia, tea, is also controlled by Songsu.

Now, the railway from the capital to Hankou has been completed, and the reform foundation of the ex-prince's tossing out of the rice ban in Hubei.

And the coal and iron machinery manufacturing industries around Tianjin, as well as the advantages of being closer to the market.

And, when Li Yan came to power, some Conglong upstarts, these people are not in Songsu, but live in the capital.

So, that's it.

That being the case, why doesn't Tianjin develop the textile industry?Why use Fujian tea?Why not just use the tea from Hubei to go to Mongolia and Rakshasa for sale by rail?

In other words, with the Yellow River as the boundary, why should the people in the south occupy the interests of the north?

The process of Li Yan's coming to power itself was not so traditional. He had the support of Songsu Capital, the support of Gyeonggi Shixue military nobles, and naturally the support of Gyeonggi Capital Group.

After making a fuss, the palms and backs of his hands are covered with meat, and he can find compensation from other places.

After beating Japan and India, Tianjin's textile industry also developed rapidly after looking for supplements—but this development was entirely dependent on Java and Indian cotton.

Although Li Yan is close to each other, he still has a good understanding of the concept of maintaining a trade with close internal ties.

This is a dispute between North and South.

Soon, there were other disputes, which became more and more chaotic.

The Unification School believes that after the abolition of water transportation, the connection between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River will only rely on sea transportation. Although it is said that the naval bases are all in the Bohai Sea, it is not safe after all.

With the basic completion of the project of seizing the Qinghe River by the Yellow River, the imperial court should build a railway from the capital to Jinling.

For one thing, if something happens at sea, it will be convenient to deploy troops.

Only by having soldiers in hand and being able to go there at any time can we maintain system governance.Otherwise, everything is pointless.Besides, Your Majesty, how did you get here and how did you rely on the navy to cut off the connection between the economic center and the capital? Do you know it well?
Secondly, there are quite a lot of areas where water transportation has been abandoned, as well as the problems left over after the Yellow River was diverted.

It's not okay to rebel today, rebel tomorrow, and have no mother later.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a railway that runs parallel to the Beijing-Hankou and is close to the original canal.

Of course, building a railway requires money.

As for this money, the money bags are completely opposed to it.

The reasons must be varied.

Economic accounts and political accounts are definitely not the same thing.

And here, there are more interests involved.

For example, the interests of engaging in shipping: If you build a railway, won’t shipping be affected?
But, basically, when you object, you will definitely not say that your interests are damaged, but you must say the opposite.

Of course, the opposite is also true.

That is, from the waste water transport to the present, it has been transported by sea.Water transportation has been abolished, and sea transportation has been on the rise for decades, and now there are steamships to help. Even if the railway from Beijing to Jinling is completed, is it not economically beneficial?Dozens to recover the cost?
If you borrow money, how much interest will you pay?

If there is no debt, this is a relatively uneconomical railway in terms of economics.

Since the money from the treasury is used, wouldn't it be good to build the east-west railway with this money?Or is it not good to build the railway from Xijing to Kaifeng?
Even if we don't build the railway and use it to relocate people to Fusang, wouldn't it be good to relieve the hunger of hundreds of thousands of people?

This is only obstruction by the Shipping Group. In fact, there are more voices of opposition from Yangtze River Shipping, Beijing-Han tea transportation, and Jiangnan Capital, which is worried about the imperial court.

Except for those who objected out of interest.

Another big help for Li Yan to come to power is a group of radicals, or rationalists, among a group of practical schools.They are really prepared to "establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

The strength of this group of people is quite large.

They feel that it is understandable to go to Songliao, Mongolia, and Northwest China to build railways.

For the convenience of relocation, this is in line with their vision for the future.

Okay, now that these things are done, the imperial court's finances have finally been slowed down, and there is money, why should this road be built?

It’s not that it shouldn’t be repaired.

Rather, there are priorities.

Now, shouldn't the construction of a railway across the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions come first?
If this road is repaired, will it be convenient for relocation?

The navy is not abolished now, and it is all up to the Cape of Good Hope. Now that the railway from Tianjin to Jinling is being built, it is completely possible to row back.

There are too many things to do.

Besides, this road can be done commercially.

The money of the court is still good steel used on the blade.

However, the business side immediately gave feedback: no one paid for the business.

This road is not as good as going to the Songliao watershed. It can not only use land appreciation to pay money, but also expand trade, which is very profitable.

Not to mention the prosperity of shipping now, there is Jinghan Road to the west, and the shipping to the east is completely under my control, and I haven't heard of any great value along the way.

What is the annual interest rate?
At that time, the fee will be low, and the annual interest will not be paid.

If the charges are high, don’t they all go to sea for shipping, let alone out of stock?

In short, to repair it, the court repaired it, and merchants were unwilling to pay for it.Unless, the imperial court sells some state-owned land as compensation.

In other words, it is okay to raise funds for repairs.Compensation for not selling state-owned land, yes, with an additional condition:

Just like the railway to the north of Songliao at the time, additional conditions were added at that time. Shareholders can first buy state-owned land in Heilongjiang at a low price to open soybean plantations, and the imperial court promises to expand the soybean market and defeat Indian sugar. industry, expanding Japan's demand for soybean fertilizer, and so on.

Well, now you can also add an additional condition.

For example, if the railway from Tianjin to Jinling is built, the imperial court will relax the restrictions on banknotes and allow businessmen to raise shares to build the east-west railway.

The east-west railway is the railway from the pioneering areas to the inland market.As long as the imperial court let go, businessmen are willing to contribute.

As soon as this idea came out, the radicals believed that since this was the case, it would be better to say that the radical policies in the Soviet Union and Lu were used in the interior.

Compulsory redemption of the land of landlords and gentry, compulsory industrial investment, and construction of east-west railways.

In this way, kill three birds with one stone.

First, to concentrate resources, reform mu tax, collect taxes, for thousands of years, build ships frantically, collect taxes and subsidies, and send people to Fusang for reclamation.

Second, once there is a disaster in the interior, food can be quickly transported through the east-west railway, thereby ensuring the efficiency of disaster relief.

Thirdly, it directly solved Dashun's current state of sewing monster.This kind of tough method was used directly, forcing the landlords to use the money as industrial bonds, and by the way, the imperial examination system was changed, returning to the ancient school system.

That is to say, only around the city of Tianjin, many policies are messy and full of tongues, making it extremely difficult to implement.

This is not to say that Li Yan has nothing to do.

In fact, when he came to power, he really accomplished the few things he said to Liu Yu.But after finishing it, he found that it was difficult to move an inch.

Pull one hair and move the whole body.

As Liu Yu said before, if you are not afraid of tossing, you are afraid of not tossing.

As long as you toss, there will be problems.

Li Yan was not an emperor who was pushed to the top because of his commitment to small farmers. He was pushed because he had a commitment to big capital, military nobles, low-level officers, long-serving soldiers, the navy, and some "scholars" of the Real School and the Confucian School. up.

After he went up, he forced Dashun's industrial development, but it also intensified social conflicts.

Waiting for the front to run hard and stabilize the position, only to find that there is no way to take a step behind - except for external expansion.

But the problem is that in this era, Dashun's external expansion has reached its limit.

For example, many places in North America are vacant. Dashun does not lack land or people, but the process of people running to the land.

For example, Japan.That's it, what else can I do?There are already six publics and four peoples, how big a market can there be?

For example, India.Agricultural tax is collected.The thing is, India also needs army, navy, administrative expenses.Counting these expenses, there is not much real balance left.

So caught in an endless loop.

Regardless of mainland issues, want to expand the external market?

Or, following the British colonial model, a nail cannot be produced in Fusang.However, this means that the capital will not immigrate at all, Dashun has to pay for it himself, and has no money.

However, immigrants are given priority, and capital plays the leading role. Then Fusang will build a trade circle around the Americas.With the help of the wonderful colonial land law left by Liu Yu, the relationship between laborers and capital is forcibly fixed. There is no shortage of resources or labor. Then Dashun will not be able to sell the hanging wool, which means that it has not expanded the external market.

same.

It is impossible to rob India of cheap raw materials and make India a huge consumer market.

The internal population has been rising steadily due to problems such as smallpox prevention and control, Yellow River repairs, and Beijing-Hanzhou Railway grain transportation.After all, he is the emperor, and he still wants to play checks and balances. I am afraid that if the old imperial examination talents are really wiped out, this method of checks and balances will not work. How will the emperor be then?Is it nothing more than changing a group of people who recite different scriptures to rub?
Are the landlords and gentry so active here?
To put it simply, before Liu Yu ran away, he finished the first battle.And all the victories before the First World War, the easy-to-eat ones, are basically divided up now.
