If a country only has agriculture, animal husbandry, and mining, but no manufacturing and military industry, and the mode of production is completely deformed, is it still qualified to be called a state?

The answer, of course, is yes, no!

Such countries often have only one title, and that is the country that exports raw materials, which is commonly known as the country of leeks.

Zhu Yunwen's tax policy for Japan is to force Japan to completely become a leek country, but the Japanese will still be grateful to Dade.

In this world, 90 percent of the resources are forever controlled by less than 10 percent of the people, and the remaining more than 90 percent of the population divides the remaining 10 percent of the resources.

As a result, the social classes began to divide into two extremes, the elite class and the lower class.

It is impossible for the elite class to farm and mine, they are engaged in high-end production areas, and plunder the wealth of the grassroots ecosystem with higher productivity, while the raw materials produced by the blood and sweat of the lower class can only be exchanged for poor wealth, but the final result is still to be snatched away by higher productivity products.

When this policy is introduced, they only know that they don't have to pay taxes, they know that they can eat enough every day, and they can buy a few new clothes every year when the seasons change.

That's enough for the people at the bottom.

As for whether the country has the technical ability to manufacture sea ships and muskets, whether the country has an independent research and development industrial production line, whether it has its own factory, and what does it matter to these low-level people?

Even if the Ming Dynasty did not control these, would the Japanese aristocracy cede these benefits to the lower classes?

Not at all.

The bottom will always be exploited, but Zhu Yunwen's policy can make this exploitation gradually weaken to the point that it can be accepted by the Japanese grassroots people, and even rejoice.

But the aristocratic class in Japan will not agree, because it is their interests that are most hurt under these policies, but so what?

No policy can be supported by all walks of life.

The Ming Dynasty has the same embryonic bourgeoisie and proletariat, and for the class contradictions in the country, the central government of the Ming Cabinet can still seek a common consultation with the local government, but for Japan and India, Zhu Yunwen does not have such good patience and benevolence to talk about.

If you don't agree, you don't agree, go to the underworld and scold slowly.

Even Zhu Yunwen didn't need to mobilize the army of the Ming Union to suppress it, and the Japanese people at the bottom who tasted the sweetness would overthrow those aristocratic classes and couldn't wait to enter the arms of the Ming League.

Never give a beggar a pie of how to become the richest man in the world, he just wants to fill his stomach and live, and he can kill for you for a meal.

Among these policies, it seems that Zhu Yunwen only levied a tax of 10% of Japan's mining industry, but one thing to know is that after Japan joins the Minglian, it is not allowed to circulate hard currencies such as gold and silver.

After deducting 10% of the tax on the output of all gold and silver mines, the remaining part must be taken to the bank to exchange for copper bills or account openings.

Huge amounts of gold and silver will eventually become empty numbers in bank accounts.

"All taxes and taxes in Japan will be abolished, and all people will be turned into yeoman farmers, fishermen, breeders, and miners, and the whole society will be engaged in the production of raw materials, and all other necessities of life and industrial supplies will be purchased from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Di and Xue Ke couldn't understand the impact of these policies, but Zhu Gaochi gasped.

"Japan abolished the commercial tax, and also implemented the guide price pricing policy, taking the bicycle that His Majesty just rode as an example, the domestic guide price was set at 1,000 Wen, and it could be priced at 3,000 when thrown into Japan, so as to easily grab Japan's wealth.

Because Japan has abolished all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the prices of raw materials such as grain, seafood, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and ores are bound to be low, and our merchants can buy a large number of them back to China, and after processing, they will become new products and sell them back to Japan to continue to earn wealth. ”

As I have written before, the chain of production can be extended indefinitely, and all raw materials can be processed, reprocessed, and further reprocessed to become some seemingly unbeatable commodities.

And these processed commodities will be dumped into various countries of the Ming Union through the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, or turned into wealth or more raw materials.

Japan's shipbuilding industry is no longer allowed to exist.

So even if Japan wants to sell it themselves, it will be extremely difficult, even if they spend a lot of money to buy a sea ship from the Ming Dynasty?

All they can sell is raw materials, and the price of raw materials is low, even if they are shipped and sold to Daming, how much can they be worth? The price of these raw materials is not high in Daming, not to mention, Daming also implements a guide price policy, and it is illegal for you to sell high.

A country of leeks that can be harvested indefinitely, just like India, has emerged.

The difference is only that Japan is a little better than India, because of the existence of Hinduism, the Ming Dynasty is completely naked plundering and robbing India, and for Japan, Zhu Yunwen has slightly disguised his means, and released some sweetness in a tax-free way to hide the deeper purpose.

In fact, in the entire Minglian system, not only Japan and India are leek countries, except for the Ming Dynasty, all Minglian and allies are leek countries.

The blood of these countries is constantly being imported into the Ming Dynasty, making the giant of the Ming Dynasty stronger and more majestic, while these leek countries are becoming weaker and weaker, and these leek countries will also parasitize on the Ming Dynasty over time.

Once they leave the Minglian system, these countries will collapse on their own without having to fight.

Because their domestic production is a deformed production, which is deliberately focused on certain aspects under the policy formulation of the Ming Cabinet, no normal country should have a social form of multi-faceted production. There is not even an independent monetary economic system.

There is no need to worry about these countries stealing the fruits of knowledge from the Ming Dynasty because they join the Ming Alliance, so as to make their own country stronger, and when Zhu Yunwen dies, they all jump out and develop one by one, and then turn around and tear a piece of meat from the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yunwen didn't even take this into account, there would be no need to go to great lengths to come up with Minglian.

The Ming Union did not know how many versions had been optimized on the basis of John Niu's colonial policy, and the final outcome of these countries would only be to become a province of the Ming Dynasty over time.

Fifteen years later, that is, after fifteen years, the new generation of children in Japan will be fluent in Chinese.

Thirty years from now, the Japanese will be speaking Chinese as their only language.

Forty-five years later, Japanese will be a scarce language.

Sixty years later, no one in Japan speaks Japanese, and for four generations, Chinese is their mother tongue.

Seventy-five years later, every country in the Ming Union has been sinicized to the point that they have almost forgotten the culture and history of their own country and nation, and they opened the history books to see the three emperors and five emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and determined that it was the history created by their ancestors.

Ninety years from now, Siam, Japan, and South China in the Ming Dynasty will no longer exist, and they will be like Fujian, Jiangxi, and Anhui provinces in China, all of which are sacred and inseparable parts of China.

Two hundred years later, three hundred years later, the Ming Union ended, with the high development of science and technology, the imperial system may die out or be held up in seclusion and retreat into the background, a Siamese, Nanyang or Burmese, Indian to be the first cabinet assistant or even the head of state of New China after the ban of the Ming Dynasty, it is no different from letting a Jiangxi, Northeastern, and Gansu people do it.

Walking in every corner of this world, what will always hang on their lips will always be one sentence.

"I'm Chinese!"

It's just that at that time, this new Chinese territory and the nationalities included in it were too big and too many.
