"We don't lack raw capital, but now we lack influence. How did the Empress Dowager have enough influence to launch a revolution before she died? There are three main components of influence, one is money, which we have no shortage of, one is people, we are very short, and the last one is propaganda channels, which we are not lacking either. In other words, we only need to solve the human gap to achieve our plan. "When Zhao Shouzhong visited the newly established secret arsenal with the people, he constantly signaled to accelerate the infiltration of the superstructure of the Great Song Empire.

"We don't want displaced people, they don't know anything but farming, we want skilled workers and the military, this kind of professional talent needs a long time to cultivate, and it is not urgent. There are many proletarian customers in the world, but there are still relatively few who can't survive and are forced to sell their labor to support their families. Our main source of army absorption must not be monopolized by the bankrupt peasants, and we must appropriately increase the proportion of propertied people. An army that we need must have sufficient self-discipline and quality, and illiterate and bankrupt lazy people will be sent to bases in the northwest and Dongyi to receive education and labor camp to meet the standards we need. Besides, it's not a matter of one sentence that we want to control the growth rate of bankrupt households? There is no need to send proletarian manufacturers to provide themselves with a source of labour, and it would be a disservice to do so! ”

"What is a proletarian maker? Financial crisis? Qian Jin asked.

"It's not a financial crisis, it's dumping. We could easily destroy all the smallholder families by selling them for a tenth of the original price. For example, the market price of ordinary monochrome printing and dyeing cotton cloth is always a horse, and the labor cost of our machinery textile industry products is the labor cost of home textiles

One in the forties. The cost of raw materials is half theirs; The cost of sales is one-third of theirs; The quality is better than them (it is difficult to be worse than them, the quality cotton thread produced by machinery is more uniform, the textile is smoother and smoother, the warp and weft threads are tighter, and the chemical dyeing is more vivid and not easy to fade. We sell for more than they produce. If we give up this kind of technological monopoly profiteering, which is destined to last long, and reduce the price to half of the original price, I am afraid that all the private textile workers will lose their jobs. The turmoil and mess caused by that time will not be cleaned up in the short term, and too many unemployed people will be a headache for rulers, both ancient and modern, both in China and abroad.

Our division of labor and the new industries that accept employees are not large enough, and situations outside of control are things that we try to avoid. Li Ji explained.

"Gao Jing, how much capacity can the textile industry you are responsible for reach in the year after tomorrow?" Zhao Shouzhong asked.

"I've already calculated the schedule, and under the premise of sufficient budget, we are producing at full capacity, and in 730 days, our various types of textiles can meet the needs of 100 million people for modern living standards."

"What do you mean? Modern standard of living? Liu Jiao didn't react for a while.

"It is to buy towels, underwear, socks, a set of clothes for spring and autumn, a set of clothes for summer, and a set of clothes for winter, home fabrics that are changed every five years on average (curtains, sheets, tablecloths, quilts, etc.), as well as sacks and production textiles (dust covers, masks, raincoats, hoods, aprons, sleeve covers, etc.) that are needed by the corresponding population."

"How many people would these textiles be enough to meet the needs of the current small-scale peasant economy?"

"That's it! It can feed 1.3 billion people. Gao Jing thought for a moment and reported a number.

"So much? Is there any mistake? Are you saying that our textiles in the coming years can be supplied to the whole world? ”

"That's right! Three years of the new, three years of the old, another three years of sewing and mending, not to mention the home fabric, the family in the era of small farmers can consume 3 pieces of cloth a year to be considered rich, in this backward era, cloth can be used as money to pay taxes. It is normal for a family of five to consume one piece of cloth a year. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to change the tax in kind to the monetary tax, and I made a slip of the tongue! ”

"In other words, in 730 days, will we be able to produce 260 million pieces of cloth?"

"It's 300 million horses! I haven't counted the consumption of sails, tarpaulins, gun clothing, filter cloths, screens, roadbed fabrics and other industrial and special industries! ”

"That's too exaggerated, we can't expand production capacity like this! will stab Lou Zi! The textile industry is not like our machinery industry, which is an emerging industry with no market capacity. Qian Jin said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we only plan to have a capacity of 40 million horses in three years, and our expansion is limited by the growth of raw materials and workers, as well as the share of exports. The impact on the domestic market will not be great, and unemployed female workers will gradually move to arranged positions according to the plan. There won't be a tragedy like the sheep cannibalism movement, don't worry. Li Ji reassured.

"We can't get blood on our hands, and if the unemployed are driven to death by the low price of labor, we are in vain. But we can transfer all the pain to those karmic imperial magnates and let ourselves shed tears and bleed our enemies better than let ourselves bleed and make our enemies cry.

Although my criteria for dividing friend and foe have not yet reached the extreme point where a dead heretic is a good heresy, it is also in line with the basic idea of the inner saint and the outer king. Just like the United States, transferring all the pain to the land outside the country is the action of the inner saint and the outer king. Li Ji looked at Wang Xinyu, who was stroking the 120mm rapid-fire gun made of special alloy steel, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Who is our worst enemy at this stage?" Li Ji shouted at Wang Xinyu.

"All bandits who try to take anything from us by force!" Wang Xinyu replied reflexively.

"Very good, you remember the answer in the interview before the crossing. It seems that you have not been eroded by the environment of your long-term career as a bandit in the Northwest, and if you lose your heart and can't distinguish between friend and foe and priority, I don't mind letting you take a leave of absence for treatment. Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now we can't inflate ourselves, Lao Wang, you go to implement the smuggling and dumping plan first, and first put down the Xixia who can't do anything. I want to let the party bandits in Koubian spit out all the looting proceeds with profit, and the blood and tears of the Han people in the northwest over the past hundred years will also appear in the lives of the party members through our strength. ”

"The trade routes of Shanzhou have been opened, and I estimate that the trade routes of the yellow-headed Uighurs have been opened to the Uighurs and Black Khan in Khotan, and we no longer need to maintain the land Silk Road through Western Xia. Although the cost of the newly opened ancient road is a little higher than that of the Hexi Corridor, we can afford it. Your task is to cooperate with Wang Neng to bring down the economy of Western Xia and bankrupt all their party members and nobles. Who wouldn't want to see the despair of the party members here? The blood and tears of robbers are the best sacrifice to comfort the victims, aren't they? "The backbone of the Tangut economy was based on animal husbandry, mainly cattle, sheep, horses, and camels. Agricultural products mainly include barley, rice, long beans and barley. Medicinal herbs and some handmade products are also particularly famous. The Western Xia also had a certain scale and level of handicraft production in smelting, salt mining, bricks and tiles, ceramics, textiles, papermaking, printing, brewing, gold, silver and wood making. But these are all floating clouds in front of us. As long as we ramp up acquisitions for a while, and when they expand their production capacity, a trade sanction can bankrupt them. Guan Zhong's Pinglu tactics are really a thousand-year-old magic weapon for big countries to deal with small countries. Zhao Shouzhong remembered that the intensity of smuggling was not as good as the acquisition of the fair, so he suggested that it would cost a certain price to learn advanced experience, and it was better to deal with the fragile industries in Western Xia than to level the strong industries in one go.
