Gongliang Xiu was determined that after the Xianguo withstood a wave of storms, he had the strength to enter the Central Plains and compete for the world.

Let's just think that the military superiority brought about by the rapid development of Xianguo's technology will be enough to overwhelm all current military opponents in 35 years, but technology is also likely to spread and imitate in 35 years.

The expansion of basic education in Xianguo will eventually enrich the country's foundation and cultivate a large number of talents, but it also means that some of the possible outflows of a large number of talents, even a very small number of people, may cause a large-scale destructive effect.

In particular, the technical threshold of the basic industry is low, and it will be very easy to establish an inferior industrial system in a short period of time after acquiring talents. Of course, the quality may be far less than that of the salty country, but the increase in the quantitative base is enough to trigger a qualitative change.

In particular, the current proliferation of thermal weapons and black powder will undoubtedly bring greater military resistance to future reunification.

Taking the Jin Kingdom as an example, in the past ten years, hundreds of people have been secretly poached, kidnapped, deceived and abducted from Yongxing City, and imitation Yongxing has established water and wind workshops to promote new agricultural technology.

When education is popularized and basic talents are greatly expanded, the forces of various princes will emerge in an endless stream, and the resulting diffusion of technology and knowledge will be completely predictable.

To guard, it will be very difficult.

Even the Ganggong faction also secretly uses technology in exchange for profits.

In addition, the imperfection of the system still depends on the personal will of the monarch to control the political power apparatus, the shortcomings of the rise and fall of the system have not been broken, and the rise and fall of the country still depends on the personal ability of the monarch.

A hundred years later, even if the army is armed to the teeth and encounters a mediocre monarch, the result can only be a loser, and the technical foundation is stolen by you today, and taken away by him tomorrow, and finally becomes a whole world full of guns and cannons, which will further increase the difficulty of territorial unification.

Of course, it can be strictly guarded, but it must be built on a sound system, which is difficult to do in terms of the current system.

This is also the main reason why Bailiyan is not in a hurry to cultivate physics and chemistry, once the talent resources are relatively expanded, it will inevitably lead to the loss of talents.

Gongliangxiu is limited by the limitations of history, and only sees the military and political strength brought by technology, but does not see the turbulent undercurrent behind it.

Finally, the unknown civilization in the northern hemisphere, which Bailiyan is most worried about, although he is very sure that the foundation of Yongxing City will be raised to a higher level in more than ten years and the initial industrialization will be achieved in the next twenty years, but in his lifetime, it is obvious that he will not be able to realize the unification of the Central Plains, and at the same time, he will not be able to solve the species civilization in the northern hemisphere that is completely different from human beings.

And in this way, it is very embarrassing that after his death, the Xian State encountered the faint monarch and was divided by the vassal states at the same time that the northern hemisphere civilization took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to invade and plunder a large number of advanced technological heritages again.

The result could only be that the northern hemisphere had a large and well-developed basic industry, which would soon be upgraded and used in warfare after acquiring more advanced technology from the Xian countries.

However, the vassal states of the Central Plains are still sitting in the well watching the sky and eating the ancients, holding the technology that the Xian State has assigned, and they self-righteously think that the world is invincible and do not know how to forge ahead.

The end result will be that the northern hemisphere will once again drift south across the ocean and invade the Central Plains through technological upgrading and digestion. The fragmentation of the Central Plains will eventually be broken by each one.

Gongliangxiu's worldview is confined to the pattern of the Central Plains in the current historical environment, and sees the contrast of a single force, without taking into account the potential unknown factors and technological trends.

These truths are incomprehensible from Gongliangxiu's vision, and Bai Liyan doesn't say much, saying that it is not beneficial, but makes Gongliangxiu think that he is covering up.

"Brother Gongliang, after conquering the land of Sun Kingdom, your Gongliang clan has worked hard, even if you don't seal the prince, you should always be crowned a marquis, right?"

"The world is unpredictable, with the king's temperament, he must move the domestic clan to the new land, so that my Gongliang clan will be affected if it is sealed again. Moreover, my country's knighthood is rarely given to foreign surnames, and it is very likely that they will also follow the example of Xianguo and give foreign surnames only false titles, so that my father-in-law's family will be empty. ”

"Then what are your father's plans and second uncle's plans?"

"What else can I do, I will first manage the newly occupied land. I have suggested to my father that he should take advantage of the great opportunity of the disappearance of all levels of power in the newly occupied land, and also follow the example of your Xianguo and implement the new land system in order to accumulate the people's strength. ”

"But I'm afraid that King Zhi won't agree easily. As a result, it was necessary to meet with fierce resistance from the domestic aristocracy and the nobles who moved to Xinda. Our Xianguo has implemented the Xintian system for more than ten years, but it is still unsatisfactory in Jiangdong, Suidang, Dongyuan and other places. If you don't change, King Zhi will not agree. ”

"How's that flexible?" Gongliang cultivates questions, and his attitude is very sincere.

"Let's put it this way, although the Black Turban Rebellion is hateful, but it wiped out the powerful forces in various places, and the reason why Ben Shuai successfully implemented the new policy back then was actually because of the result of the annihilation of the aristocratic forces in various places, and the support of my king is indispensable.

And King Zhi suspects that you support the army and respect yourself, and will suspect you of buying people's hearts when you push a new policy on the newly occupied land, all in all, as long as people are suspicious, the left hand will not rest assured that the right hand. Therefore, if Brother Gongliang wants to promote the new policy, he can only adapt the new policy to satisfy King Zhi. ”

"Satisfy Shiwang? What does Yongxing Hou mean? ”

"Let's put it this way, the land will be distributed to the people, the new law of Xianguo will not work in Zhiguo, and the nobles of Zhiguo and King Zhi will definitely not agree. However, the land was returned to the government, and the common people, nobles and wealthy people cultivated it in the name of the government, so that the newly occupied land was nominally the king's own, but in reality it was still in the hands of the local government.

In other words, your Gongliang army has been stationed on the newly occupied land for a long time to defend the country, and the local fields are still controlled by the garrison, and you can also use the land in the name of the government, so that the fields can be distributed to the people, and the nobles can be restrained from dividing the land. ”

"But in this way, the amount of money and grain for the newly occupied land, King Zhi also knows it clearly, and it is not as convenient as granting the land to the powerful and powerful."

"That's the case, but don't forget, the new land is newly occupied, the people will be more willing to farm, the grain production will be higher, and the lower tax can make the grain into the hands of the people, after a year of recuperation, although the king will take most of the taxes, but as long as the people are rich and can have surplus grain in their hands, Brother Gongliang can collect grain through merchants and goods, inside and outside with money and goods, wouldn't it be more convenient."

"I see...... I had heard before that the Marquis of Yongxing had offered the policy of 'replacing government with business' to King Xian, and it seemed that I only knew what it was and didn't understand the reason. However, there are as many as seven or eight counties of newly occupied land, and even if my Gongliang clan has thousands of furniture, it is not enough to support itself. If there is a discussion and mutual market, it will be monitored by Tao and my king, and the amount of smuggled goods is less than enough, and the amount is too much to cause trouble over time. ”

"This matter is easy, Brother Gongliang can make reliable people trade in Xianguo, supply goods to Zhiguo in the name of Xianguo merchants to make profits, and send them back as secret money."

"This is not a star and a half, can Xianguo have such national strength?"

Gongliangxiu questioned, and Bailiyan laughed:

"Hahaha......"

"What are you laughing at. It is not easy for the land of the seven counties of Xianguo to support the newly occupied land, how can we divide the national power from me. ”

"Then let me ask Brother Gongliang, what is the use of the money?"

"Naturally, it is needed for the purchase of commercial goods."

"In this case, it is not counted that the grain and cattle are shaved in our Xian country, but due to the weak national strength, we can only export the goods to other countries in order to earn a large amount of gold and silver coins, and then buy them from other vassal states.

Now that the land of several counties of Sun Guo belongs to my Xianguo, and the Gongliang Army newly occupies several counties, then the Gongliang brother only needs to turn a blind eye and let my Xianguo commercial goods enter the country, even if it is only more than half of the profit every year, the Gongliang Army will be inexhaustible. ”

"Are you serious?"

Gongliang Xiu was skeptical, and Bai Liyan nodded in affirmation:

"Seriously, although my brother is proficient in internal affairs, he doesn't know how to do business. Ben Shuai has served as the ruler of Su Neishi for more than ten years, and has served as the chief Sinong for six years, how can he not know the inside story. ”

The essence of money is to facilitate the circulation of goods and facilitate transactions, and the rate of circulation of goods depends on production, logistics, consumption, and market size.

At present, the consumption power of the people is generally low, and the population of Xianguo is small, and after the limited improvement of living standards, the limit of consumption has been reached in the short term.

Therefore, in addition to ironware, salt, cloth, etc., the commodities of Yongxing City have been saturated in the class market of Xian State's consumption capacity, and can only expand outward.

The outward expansion of the market, subject to the tariffs and circulation links of the vassal states, increased the cost of commodity circulation and the price of the sales terminal, and most of the profits were taken away by the taxes, nobles and middlemen of the countries concerned.

Although the salty country can also obtain a lot of benefits, the high tariffs and circulation costs have raised the terminal price of goods, resulting in the class that should be able to consume become incapable of consumption.

Taking vegetable oil as an example, vegetable oil, as a commodity with high value-added profits, can be eaten and used as a military combustion oil, which is subject to certain control.

After the opening of rapeseed cultivation in Xianguo, rapeseed was widely planted in Xianguo, and the resulting rapeseed oil entered the market, and ordinary people could afford to consume it.

However, vegetable oil is still a controlled product in other vassal states, in order to protect the domestic market and the interests and privileges of the elites, Zhiguo will additionally levy high tariffs on the import of salty vegetable oil, making its price more expensive than that in Zhiguo, in order to protect the interests of the rapeseed magnates and farmers in the country, and the result is that ordinary people still cannot enjoy the benefits of Xianguo's trade.

On the contrary, the cotton exported by the Zhiguo and Song States to the Xianguo State was only levied by the Xianguo State and the Xianguo only levied basic tariffs, and the more efficient spinning and textile machines were used to weave it into cloth.

It can be sold to ordinary people at a lower price, and at the same time it can be exported abroad, but Zhiguo also imposes high tariffs on this raw material for export, and the goods for imported finished products, making the cloth exported from Xianguo expensive in Zhiguo.

Although the impact of high prices on the current people with limited consumption capacity is limited, it restricts the development of the commodity economy and the improvement of the quality of life, and at the same time indirectly hits the enthusiasm of individuals for production and aggravates the dissatisfaction of the lower strata of society.

After the newly occupied land of Xianguo was incorporated into Xianguo, the market was opened, and the basic market chain of population formation was integrated into the economic structure of Xianguo, so that Yongxing City's high-quality and low-cost commodities could better enter the new market, and at the same time, Yongxing City's self-demand production capacity expansion was further stimulated. In addition, the production capacity of Yongxing City has been suppressed, and the expanded production capacity will further reduce the cost of goods.
