In the final analysis, the foundation of industrialization is the foundation of advanced talents and supporting institutions, not to mention that Liang Guo does not have the foundation of advanced education, and its political system does not have the basis for large-scale development of advanced education.

Second, the initial investment in education was huge and the results were slow, and if it weren't for Bailiyan's private pockets to intercept Yongxing's profits, it would not have been able to have today's scale. The entire education cycle is as short as seven or eight years, and as many as ten or twenty years, Xianguo County has basically completed the construction of education in the three stages of junior high school, middle school, and high school, and the initial investment is rapidly returning at a considerable rate, while these basic conditions do not exist in Liang State.

Third, people's ideas and cognition ultimately determine the path of development, Bailiyan two generations of people, familiar with the prospects and trends of technological development, Yongxing City from generation to generation to introduce new technology iterations, follow the ready-made development concept, do not need a long exploration process, avoid detours, thereby shortening the accumulation time of experience and technology, can make rapid development of technology within decades, and other countries do not have this condition in nature.

Finally, Yongxing City's capacity expansion needs funds, and the lack of equipment is only one level, the machine can work in three shifts 24 hours a day, continuous production, but it can't be done without money.

All procurement, even if it is internal zero-profit procurement, requires a lot of money and industrial consumption, and the process of industrialization is accompanied by huge consumer expenditure on steel and coal.

The development of Yongxing City to this day, more is to benefit from the monopoly products and efficient production of sales revenue to feed back industrial development, basically still in their own business mode, financially affected by the digestion of the four new counties, the appropriation for several years is very limited, how to expand financial resources and use external funds to provide expansion power, has become very urgent.

The gold and silver money intercepted by the Southern Expedition in those years have been invested in Yongxing City all these years, and there is almost nothing left, and the national treasury needs Yongxing City to supply blood on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to maintain the development and expansion of enterprises themselves.

Ji Feng's step-by-step pressing, mercenary, undoubtedly provides another possibility:

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs?! Aiqing, what is borrowing chickens to lay eggs? ”

"It is to let Bo Yuanjun pay a lot of money to buy the machine produced by Yongxing, and the minister will take his money to let Yongxing City expand production, so that there is an additional amount of foreign wealth, and at the same time as Boyuanjun produces machines, Yongxing City will expand its own production capacity at a lower cost, faster and with greater output."

"Will that backfire, make him master the techniques of the Xianguo, or leak it to other princes?"

"The king rest assured, the secret of Xianguo is in the education and education, in the governance, not in a machine and a person, what Bo Yuanjun sees is only a vain appearance, as long as he dares to speak, what he swallows is a dose of poison.

And in another ten or fifteen years, Yongxing City will be even more powerful than it is today, far beyond the Liang State and the princes. ”

"According to Aiqing's intentions, if this matter becomes a national strength, how much will the national strength of the Xian country increase?"

"It depends on how big Bo Yuanjun's appetite is, if he has a big package and embraces all rivers, the minister will put in money and grain, only counting Yongxing City, and within three years, all the machinery in the current scale will be more than three or five times, and it will be at least twice as large. With the national strength of the Liang State, it is not difficult to buy the entire Yongxing City. But he is unable to carry forward Yongxing City like a minister, at best he is buying an empty shell. ”

"In the future, if the Liang State uses this as capital, what will happen if it is sold to the princes?"

"The Son of Heaven is selfish and selfish, and he will definitely not sell it easily. Even if he betrayed, he had to wait for Liang Guo to learn the truth and learn from himself, and leave other countries far behind, and at that time, it would be twenty or thirty years later. At that time, the capital of our Xianguo will comprehensively crush the Central Plains, throw off the Liang Kingdom for decades, and throw off the princes for a hundred years, which is enough to lay the momentum of sweeping the Central Plains. ”

Boyuanjun buys products, not institutionalized scientific research systems, advanced concepts, and talent bases. A few years later, Liang Guo suddenly realized that Yongxing City had moved towards the second industrialization of electrification and realized the comprehensive take-off of economy and industry.

At that time, mathematics, metallurgy, physics, chemistry, medicine, education, and national defense all fields have caught up with the current world for hundreds of years, and Liang Guo has to reform the political system and implement a new type of education, which has no time to reform, and at the same time has to face the pain and political turmoil brought about by the change, and even the impact of a large-scale revolutionary wave.

Under such circumstances, the Xian State made great efforts to not only lay the road to industrialization, but also had the military war strength to quickly unify the Central Plains, and the survival and abolition of the Liang State was dispensable, and the situation of great unification was irreversible. Bo Yuanjun's greed today will pay the price for it in the future.

In the final analysis, the purpose of industry is to serve both the social economy and the national defense. Bo Yuanjun only sees monetary interests, does not see the fundamental needs of the people at the bottom of society, and does not see the inevitable trend of political trends.

Of course, Liang did not have nothing, its productivity increased rapidly in a short period of time, its production efficiency was higher, and in a sense, it had an industrial base to compete with Xianguo.

However, it has neither a supporting system that adapts to the productive forces and production relations, nor an educational foundation, nor a systematic scientific research institution and Bailiyan's advanced advanced concepts.

Neither the ability to make its own blood, nor the innovative thinking, nor even the fact that it could be used to produce advanced weapons and equipment, the final result was even more tragic than the failure of the Westernization movement.

Listening to the grand blueprint depicted by Bailiyan, King Xian's heart was surging with blood, and he said:

"Can the widow still see that day?"

"The sons and grandsons of the great king will see it, and the sons and grandsons of the ministers will see it."

With Aiqing's words, the widow is relieved. Aiqing let it go, and this matter does not have to go through the cabinet. ”

"The king is shengming, and the ministers will live up to expectations. In addition, there is another thing that the minister feels strange. ”

"What's so strange?"

"Ji Feng actually knew all the details of yesterday's cabinet secret discussion, so he came to force the minister to submit today, and the minister was very passive. The minister suspected that someone had revealed the secret cabinet discussion to Bo Yuanjun, and the specific losses and related hazards of the gold and silver shortages had been calculated and the results had been obtained, and they were also coming to the treasury of our Xianguo. ”

"Yesterday's cabinet participants were all confidants, who could leak secrets! It's the middle doctor Tan Le, or Qing Xijun Mi Yuan. ”

"Probably neither. At least the two of them and Bo Yuanjun are opponents of each other in the silk transaction, Tan Le and Qing Xijun have no reason to collude with Bo Yuanjun, and the minister thinks that the prince will not. The minister thought that because of the strengthening of national political supervision and prevention, it was inevitable that he would leak his mouth in the process of doing things. ”

"Well, it's clear to no one. It's not too early, let's go to court. ”

"No!"

The ultimate goal of the shortage of gold and silver is to attack the economy of the Xianguo country, plunder the treasury, the ferocity of the situation, the total amount of the large, let it develop, to this day next year, the direct loss of precious metals more than the entire income of the Xianguo gold and silver in a year, there is no detailed economic internal reference, long-term careful planning, only rely on a few stinkers to defend the country, can not launch a precise economic attack on the Xianguo from the outside.

Bo Yuanjun was able to immediately learn the cabinet's decision, and undoubtedly confirmed that there were internal ghosts in the court, and the level was not low.

The controversy between the court and the cabinet turned to a battle for a share of the silk and luxury goods trade, and the prince persuaded the elite of the silk merchants to share the benefits among them in exchange for support and compromise.

And those individual silk merchants who have more and do not get a share actually do not lose, but capital is like a boat sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat.

When other people's capital expands and you stand still, your assets are actually shrinking. Because the total amount of social capital increases due to the additional issuance of foreign precious metals or the central bank's currency, forming a certain degree of inflation, and your capital will be diluted and weakened by the larger total amount of capital.

Therefore, although the wealthy businessmen did not lose money because of this, they did not benefit from the fact that others made money, and at the same time, they were actually depreciating in disguise.

Although the world was not yet aware of the systematic financial operation system, his personal feelings and years of business experience were enough to make ordinary businessmen feel the status gap and existential crisis brought about by capital expansion.

As a result, this resentment was quickly transmitted to the imperial court in the case of uneven distribution of benefits, and spread from silk to other high-priced goods such as cotton, jade, spices, and furs. Even Li Xu, a doctor who has always been honest and dutiful, is inevitably involved in economic disputes, the reason is that Li Xu, who has no hobbies, is not a monolith, he loves beautiful jade, so he has been hooked up by jade merchants over the years and has become a spokesperson for interests.

Of course, the current jade mining is still monopolized by the government, after Bailiyan is in charge of finance, due to the development of exploration and mining technology and agriculture, large-scale mining of jade has mature conditions, continue to suppress jade mining, not only can not be transformed into economic resources, at the same time the situation of private mining can not be avoided, the government for this to kill people, said that the small is just a few pieces of jade, said that the big is a state-owned assets, but for this thing to kill the head, it is really worth the loss.

Therefore, after 635, the ban on jade mining was gradually lifted, and the government still controlled the best quality jade mines and more than half of the jade mining.

At the same time, the processing of jade was also released from Yongxing and Xianwang's inner mansions, allowing private jade processing, and opening up private transactions, allowing ordinary people to buy and wear jade. As a result, more than ten years ago, the jade industry flourished, and the emerging industry produced new upstarts and formed a new interest class.

In addition to the Central Plains people love jade, the Jinxuedi people also love jade, especially the white and transparent jade, which is regarded as the highest grade, but without exception are carved into a ball or hemisphere, and the larger is processed into a statue or a utensil. However, jade resources in the south are scarce and far less abundant than those in the Central Plains, so jade has a large market in the native area of the Jinxuedi people.

Due to the development of the jade industry, ordinary jade has gradually radiated from the aristocracy and the wealthy class to the middle-class wealthy group, and this phenomenon is unique in the Central Plains.
