Chapter 7 The CEO who determines the chairman
And if you want to complete this arduous task, you must first have a comprehensive understanding of the world in the entire sixteenth century, geography has nothing to say, it has been the same for thousands of years, Guo Dalu has no ability to turn over the river and the sea to fill in the Pacific Ocean, there is that ability This task is simple, so the main thing is to look at politics, military, country, scientific and technological level, population, people's livelihood, finance, industry, agriculture, education level, etc., think about Edison, Einstein, these people must have more than 30% influence on the world, but that is a long-term process, and only three years on their own! Three years! her grandmother's three years!
Let's start with the Ming Dynasty, how to say that the point I wore through was in the Ming Dynasty, and the change could only start from there. Flipping through the historical materials, all kinds of articles, data, names, traditional Chinese characters, rare characters, etc., Guo Dalu is dizzy, how to start?
However, after a comprehensive browsing, Guo Dalu still has a feeling, that is, the Ming Dynasty seems to be very strong, developed and advanced, why was such a country destroyed by the Manchu Qing in the northeast? It doesn't make sense!
However, regardless of this matter for now, after Guo Dalu rested for a while, he decided to start from several aspects that he could understand and first figure out the military issue.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the guard system, set up a guard garrison in military important places throughout the country, and the guard army had 5,600 people, and there were thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags and small flags and other units in order, each guard was subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and also belonged to the Ministry of War. The source of the army is the hereditary military household, and each household sends one person to serve as a soldier in the Zhengding Zhiwei Station, and the soldiers take turns guarding the garrison and the tuntian, and the income from the tuntian is used to supply the needs of the army and generals. Its goal was to raise troops without consuming the country's financial resources, but after Ming Xuanzong, it was gradually impossible to maintain, the living standards and social status of the soldiers became lower and lower, and the number of deserters gradually increased, so the armament was gradually abolished.
During the Jiajing period, in response to the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, the general Qi Jiguang recruited militia for training in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to replace the unbearable guards. It is precisely because of the unusability of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty that these militias became the combat troops that gradually took on the maintenance of the effective rule of the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and the most famous of them were Qi Jiguang's recruitment of the Qi family army, which was mainly composed of Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under the command of Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry recruited by Yuan Chonghuan, which was mainly composed of Liaodong people.
This makes it clear, the name of the Ming Dynasty has a million troops, and when it is pulled out, it is no wonder that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been defeated and finally destroyed.
So what should I do? If you want to have a huge influence, you have to become a prince in order to have the fastest influence on the world.
However, the so-called tree is a big move, the rafters that come out first rot first, the children who carry heavy treasures in the city, and the sins of these ancient truths teach us that if you don't have a strong ability to protect yourself, don't jump out and pretend to be forced, otherwise you will be struck by lightning.
Having an army has become a must for Guo Dalu.
Well, the army is √ on this one.
After this article passed, Guo Dalu began to look for political information, didn't he say that all wars are for politics? However, after reading it, Guo Dalu was a little confused, this is not the same as he thought, does it mean that the imperial court has set up some management departments to be considered political? Forget it, this question doesn't help, let it go.
Then look at the economic aspect, agriculture, industry and commerce, urbanization, population. Guo Dalu's eyes widened, and he just wanted to say to Emperor Chongzhen, "Let's not make such a fuss!" ", no wonder there are so many man-made rebellions, this Jiangnan fish and rice town is not growing food, all the special ran to change to cash crops, Jiangnan grain must be imported from other places, this catches up with the earth's cold and harms a Xiaoice climate, the country's grain production is reduced, can you eat? Could it be that no one in the court or officials of the Ming Dynasty understood what the red line of cultivated land was? This is not a complaint.
But when he turned his head and saw industry and commerce, Guo Dalu smiled, and there was a thought in his heart, the Ming Dynasty was too rich. The Ming Dynasty was far ahead in the world in terms of iron smelting, shipbuilding, construction, silk, textiles, porcelain, printing and other aspects, accounting for more than two-thirds of the world's output, much higher than the proportion of agricultural output in the world.
However, the handicraft industry of the Ming Dynasty continued to grow, while the official camp continued to shrink. Until the late Ming Dynasty, except for a few industries such as the salt industry, which were still implementing the salt introduction system with merchants as the main body, some handicraft industries were freed from the control of the government and became private handicrafts.
At this time, when the owners of the British handicraft farms felt that they were already nouveau riche with tens of thousands of pounds, it was very common for the Ming Dynasty private merchants and capitalists to use millions of taels of silver for trade and production, and the economic strength of Zheng Zhilong's maritime trading group reached tens of millions of taels of silver per year, and the Dutch East India Company could not compete with it at that time.
Co-authored the Ming Dynasty's Qian Quan Nima in private hands, it has nothing to do with Chongzhen, no wonder Ya always has no money to raise soldiers, this life is hard to blame the government, to blame Chongzhen for not being admitted to finance or business university to study for a few days, Guo Dalu's sense of superiority suddenly came to his face, master, I am still a mixed school student in a famous school... But looking at it this way, this will not be possible in the future, and you still need to learn a little, at least you can't fail the course, otherwise you won't be the second Chongzhen.
There is nothing to say about urbanization, the city is very big and has a lot of residents.
Guo Dalu turned over the information on urbanization like an idiot, and did not realize the significance of urbanization at all, and the urbanized population of Daming was as high as 8% at this time...... What is this concept, 8% of the residents, the people of the city.
Finally, turning to the population data, what is the situation of this Nima? There are seven or eight data on seven or eight brick families, the lowest is said to be more than 60 million in the late Ming Dynasty, and the highest is said to have an actual population of about 152.47 million in 1644... None of them are the same, and the data is hugely different, who should be trusted? Forget it, I don't blame them, they are all people who speak with historical materials, and no one has ever gone to the field like Guo Dalu, it is estimated that it is the result of the different historical materials in their hands.
However, there is an official population statistics table of the Ming Dynasty that makes Guo Dalu very puzzled, the population of the Ming Dynasty was about 60 million when it was founded, and the population was still about 60 million at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Only one who dies is allowed to give birth to another???
Okay,Then I'll wait for Ben Shao to have some time to go and give you a statistic.,Well,It's good to be right.。
Since Daming's economy is so developed, the population is so large, and the market is so vast, Guo Dalu feels that engaging in time and space trade seems to be a must-choose, and he has no choice √.
Later, I saw the cultural aspect, this is Guo Dalu's biggest headache, this and that doctrine, there are a lot of messes, none of which Guo Dalu can understand, no other, the full text, but after a rough browsing of patience, Guo Dalu slapped the table, no matter what thoughts you have, what doctrines you have, Lao Tzu is a communist thought and a socialist doctrine, firm and unwavering!
As for literature, opera, calligraphy, poetry, and painting, Guo Dalu drew a circle heavily, and highlighted a stroke, as long as these writers and authors can find a living, it is a mountain of gold... Lao Tzu wants to sign a contract, Lao Tzu wants to buy out Lao Tzu and give them all agents, and get a brokerage company to catch them all! Hey...... It's drooling just thinking about it.
