Chapter 520: Scare Them
Zhao Yu looked at Zheng Huchen, and he really couldn't bear it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since he decided to fight Quanzhou, he has been busy, and everyone is also very busy and tired, busy mobilizing the army, preparing military supplies, arranging to stay behind, and so on. However, the bureau should be the busiest, and they intervened in advance to not only reconnoiter the enemy situation in Quanzhou, but also collect political and economic intelligence, find out the situation of the people and the available resources, and provide the necessary information for formulating the campaign plan. After arriving in Quanzhou, the power of the bureau was placed on reconnoitering the movement of enemy troops in the surrounding area, the speed of movement and contacting the spies lurking in the city to obtain the latest information.
The city was captured, and there was another assassination of His Majesty, which caused Zheng Huchen to come all the way from Qiongzhou to escort him, and immediately Zhao Yu sent him a lot of work, and he was busy just interrogating the prisoners. Although I am busy at the moment, I still have time to take a break and eat a hot meal. Zheng Huchen was afraid that he didn't even have the kung fu to sleep until last night, but he said hello and accompanied himself here for a long time, and then he had to carry his head to the battle to make money for him. It would be too impersonal to send him another matter, but it is very important and must be operated in advance.
"Your Majesty, please command!" Zheng Huchen saw that His Majesty wanted to speak and stopped, and saluted again.
"Wang De!" Zhao Yu waved his hand to excuse Zheng Huchen and shouted outside the door.
"Your Majesty!" Wang De, who had been on duty outside the door, ran in and said.
"You immediately ask the dining room to prepare dinner for Director Zheng, it should be hearty and fast!" Zhao Yu instructed, "Serve tea to Chief Zheng first, and wrap some of the best tea from Pu Lao Thief!" ”
"Yes!" Wang De immediately obeyed the order, and smiled meaningfully to Zheng Huchen before leaving.
"This ......"
"It's all my carelessness, I just spoke, I forgot that you didn't even eat lunch, let's make do with it!" Zhao Yu saw that Zheng Huchen still wanted to excuse himself, so he interrupted him and said.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for tea, where can a rough person taste it!" Zheng Huchen hurriedly saluted.
"Hehe, I can't taste it, so let's drink and play to quench my thirst!" Zhao Yu picked up the tea on the table that had already been cold and drank it all, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will be disrespectful!" Zheng Huchen also smiled, the tea in Pufu is naturally good, and His Majesty wants the best, which must be even more valuable, but he just let himself drink and have fun, and this closeness alone makes him honestly afraid.
"Although this matter is simple, it is very important, and it is related to the development of the imperial court in the next few years and more than ten years!" Zhao Yu said seriously.
"Subordinates listen to the oracle!" Zheng Huchen saw that the little emperor said solemnly, and he also said with a straight face.
"In this attack on Qiongzhou, what we want is not only the supply of materials, but also the population!" Zhao Yu said, "Quanzhou has a large population and Qiongzhou has a small population, so I want them to be transferred to Qiongzhou, but I can't forcibly tie them up, so I have to let you do something!" ”
"Population?! Your Majesty, please speak! Zheng Huchen frowned when he heard this. Everyone knows that compared with Quanzhou and Qiongzhou, one is heaven and the other is hell, and now His Majesty wants to get all the people in heaven to hell, and he can't use force, he can't do it anyway.
"You secretly send people to scare and scare them!" Zhao Yu whispered.
"Scare?! How...... How to scare? Zheng Huchen's eyes were bigger than eggs, he didn't know if the people of Quanzhou could be frightened, anyway, he was frightened, he stammered.
"It's very simple, you sent someone to secretly spread rumors, saying that this time the Tartars sent heavy troops to reinforce Quanzhou, the imperial court is likely to be untenable, and it will have to withdraw to Qiongzhou. But because Pu Shougeng died, they wanted to bury the people of Quanzhou for him, and the day the city was broken was the time to slaughter the city. Zhao Yu whispered.
"Your Majesty, does it work? You must know that it is difficult to leave the homeland, and we ...... Qiongzhou" Zheng Huchen is a little disbelieving.
"Hehe, it definitely works. Have you forgotten what we used counterfeit money to plague Kublai Khan back then? And there is no major thing in life than life and death, and they will choose between life and death and wealth and wealth. Zhao Hao smiled and said, but he was also full of bitterness, he was really bad, he had done everything to 'force' people to leave his hometown, but think about what the great man said, if you want to win, you have to sacrifice!
"My subordinates understand!" His Majesty immediately gained confidence when he mentioned that the two of them were using rumors to snipe at the Yuan Court, and nodded vigorously.
"That's what it means, but don't release the news all at once, the lid must be untied little by little, don't let people misunderstand that our Wang Shi is vulnerable, it will backfire!" Zhao Hao admonished again.
"My subordinates understand that Your Majesty means to spread terror, and to tell the people of Quanzhou that our Wang Shi is a mighty army, a benevolent and righteous army, and it is only because the enemy is too strong that he has to evacuate Quanzhou. But for the sake of the people, His Majesty still did not hesitate to sacrifice to cover the evacuation of the people. Zheng Huchen thought for a while and said.
“ok! Those who know me are also tigers! Zhao Yu slapped the table and said loudly.
"My subordinates, did you think of this under the guidance of Your Majesty!" What does ok mean, Zheng Huchen didn't understand, but the second half of the sentence was clear, and he knew that he had guessed the little emperor's mind correctly. But this confidant never dares to be, too much grace is not a good thing, being able to be a living dog leg is the most important thing......
After finishing speaking, the meal was ready, Zhao Yu asked Zheng Huchen to go out to eat, and he found a comfortable position to think about what else was missing. But he was soon relieved, he figured it out, although he had made full preparations before doing things, the outcome often depended on luck. I have stumbled to the present, and it is unreasonable to say that there is no element of luck. But the matter of immigration cannot be left to chance, and if it fails, the revolution will succeed at least ten years later.
Zhao Yu knows very well that if we do not look at history in terms of three, five, ten, or twenty years, but look at the development of an era on a larger scale, it is ultimately people who determine the future of a society, and how many people can live in production. Whether in ancient or modern times, the number of people not only directly determines the size of the social economy, but also closely related to the complexity of the social division of labor system, or the degree of advancement.
Of course, this is not because Zhao Yu opposes the 'family planning' policy, but because it is true. As a modern person, he is engaged in technical work, and he deeply understands a point. The development trend of modern industry is that the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, the products are becoming more and more complex, and there are more and more basic accessories. To ensure the normal operation of the industry, it is not possible to lock the process in the library and expect to check it when it is used. Even if there is still a problem where practice makes perfect, it is impossible to make progress - no one can carry out secondary development based on knowledge that they do not understand.
Therefore, in the core part of the industry, on average, each basic accessory should correspond to at least one full-time person to reserve and improve the production process, and this person also has to bring an apprentice to spend more than ten years orally to pass on the know-how. With the development of industrialization, the industrial population occupied by the core industries and the complexity of industrial technology, as well as the number of basic accessories, are increasing in the same proportion.
However, a complete society cannot be composed by only one core industry on its own, but also needs the labor force of the consumer goods industry, the construction industry, the transportation industry, commerce, the service industry, the administration, the military, and social security, as well as the labor force of the primary industry sectors such as mining and agriculture. Only when these people are equipped can the entire industrial system run smoothly, and at the same time, every member of society can have a relatively relaxed and rich life. Combined with the children and the elderly raised by these laborers, it can be roughly estimated that the population required for an independent industrial system is about ten times the number of basic accessories, and at least not less than five times.
For example, during the first industrial revolution, there was only one kind of power, the steam engine, and the most complex industrial product at that time was nothing more than an ironclad ship, an ironclad ship had hundreds of thousands of parts, so an industrial country at that time needed nearly a million people to meet the core industry, and Belgium, the smallest industrial country, also had a population of four million. After the second industrial revolution, the two major categories of electrical appliances and chemical industry were added, and the types of basic parts and components of the industrial system have also increased several times, and it has required nearly 10 million core industry laborers to maintain the integrity of the industrial system. At this time, Belgium and the like were no longer included among the great powers, and France, with the smallest population, had 40 million people, and France's industrial system was not complete, and Germany with more than 60 million people had to fight the First World War with the support of Britain and the United States.
By the time of World War II, the number of basic components had increased to several million, corresponding to the fact that Germany, with 65 million people, could wage war, and France was out a month after the start of the war. But Germany must also give up the development and production of superweapons such as strategic bombers, aircraft carriers, and atomic bombs, and Japan, which has a similar population, can build aircraft carriers but cannot build decent tanks, and Japanese-made machine guns and pistols are despised even by the puppet army and the Tsuchihachi. The United States, with a population of more than 100 million, is the only one that can travel on both sides of the sea and the ground. The Soviet Union lacked naval technical reserves, but it was always able to build tanks, artillery, and rocket artillery to outpace Germany.
When the world enters the nuclear age, a complete industrial system needs to be composed of tens of millions of basic industrial accessories, which determines that only industrial countries with a population of hundreds of millions - that is, the United States and the Soviet Union - are qualified to become world first, and other industrial countries can only be vassals. During this period, although Britain and France were both permanent members of the Security Council and possessed strategic nuclear weapons, they could only face the fate of the river. However, the population of the Soviet Union has always been about 30% larger than that of the United States, so although the foundation is weak, it can gradually achieve a strategic balance with the United States. No matter what advanced weapons the United States creates, the Soviet Union will quickly catch up in a few years, and often outnumber the United States.
In the middle and late stages of the Cold War, the number of industrial parts further increased to more than 30 million, and the population of about 200 million in the United States and the Soviet Union was completely occupied by various industrial sectors. Europe had to move towards integration; The United States has shifted civilian industries abroad, while continuing to take possession of the products of these factories by financial means to feed the local population.
The lack of population also forced the Soviet Union to concentrate a large part of its population in the military industry and heavy industry, which amounted to an increase in the country's industrial population without bringing in immigrants and increasing the pressure on agriculture and social welfare. But the civilian industry in the USSR has been shrinking for a long time, and various supporting systems cannot be established for a while, so who else will produce consumer goods, and who else will be engaged in the service industry? There is no substantial improvement in the standard of living, and if you don't get paid for your hard work, anyone will lose patience! So the Soviet Union collapsed and became history.
In ancient times, the population was an important part of the productive forces, whether it was the rulers of the previous dynasties or the warlords in the troubled times, the population was regarded as a strategic resource, and the population was gathered through various means. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang captured Meng and won the flat-bottomed barbarians, and the most fundamental starting point was also to obtain the population and supplement the military strength, but it was better to do it.
After Zhao Hao occupied Qiongzhou, he also faced the problem of population shortage, and now they have tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of officials, all of whom are people who do not produce but only consume materials. The current population of Qiongzhou is only 400,000 or 500,000 people, including those slang people who do not obey the rule, as well as the elderly, weak women and children, and even then the calculation is almost the level of one soldier per household. But under normal circumstances, ten households raise one soldier, so this ratio is extremely disparity, if it wasn't for Zhao Yu who first attacked Guangzhou, and then cheated and cheated, the small court would have gone bankrupt long ago.
But this is only a normal situation, and now the Xing Dynasty is always facing war, and if it fights, people will die, so it needs to be recruited from the existing labor force. But for every soldier recruited, there was one less person to produce, so it entered a vicious circle, until production stopped, and all the people were soldiers. But the soldiers need to eat and clothe, and they also need weapons and armor to fight, and there are people to transport supplies, but there is no one to use. Therefore, Zhao Yu thinks that maintaining the operation of a government is similar to opening a company, not only to have money, but also to have people. Now the plan is in place, the project is in place, the site is in place, the board of directors has been elected, and the backbone is in place. At present, there are 'investors' and funds in place, but what is missing is workers.
In order to recruit people, Zhao Yu also worked hard. Treating the people well, upholding righteousness, and encouraging military dependents to come to visit their relatives is not only a need to stabilize the morale of the military and the people, but also a potential productive force. However, this is far from enough, after all, family affection is difficult to give up, the homeland is difficult to leave, and if you want these people to follow you, it is difficult to recruit enough people on these alone. In order to achieve the goal, he can only use his brains and fight bad ideas, and the Mongols happen to be very cooperative, killing, burning, and plundering is the standard, and slaughtering the city and exterminating the tribe are all small dishes, no one believes it, he only needs to push the boat down the river, fan the flames to create an infinite atmosphere of terror, and scare the people into his arms......
