Chapter 202 Meeting Memorandum (I)
In the meeting
"The faster the development of the demand for talents, the greater the gap, we have invested almost 8% of the financial funds in basic education, higher education has spent 12% of the financial funds, and 20% of the net profit within our system is also used to train employees and their families, which is not enough for half of our next ten-year plan to carry out half of the manpower, although the past two ten-year plans are very perfect for half a year to a year ahead of schedule, but I am not optimistic that this plan is more than ten times larger can be successfully completed. I estimate that in 10 years, it would be nice to have 60% of our plans completed. ”
"How about we cut the plans for the Americas?"
"Impossible, as a gift for the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our fleet has already discovered the Americas, such as the fleet of the Northeast voyage has discovered the Arctic ice cap, and the gift package for the discovery of the second New World cannot be delayed, at most we will not actively invest in the New World, in fact, I also planned so. In addition to early contact and trade, we are not prepared to develop the New World, but to move all the tribes of the Americas to California and the west coast of Mexico in the form of an alliance, and the lands and all resources inland are reserved as strategic reserves for the bottleneck period in the later stages of our population explosion. Now that the Jiangnan Valley and the Northeast cannot be developed, plus Nanyang and Nanzhou, will we have the energy to colonize the Americas in a generation? ”
"Why don't we label the Americas as Chizhou, and the newly published map can also mark a relatively complete system of five continents, Asia is the Shenzhou, Africa is the Xuanzhou (black skin), Australia is the green island (coastal forest and grassland), the Americas is the red continent (red skin), and Europe is the blue continent (the blue of the Mediterranean). As for Antarctica, it can be the sixth continent that is uninhabitable.
It is true that the development of Chizhou requires a lot of time, manpower and material resources, and we have to pay a lot of money, but we can calmly seal this land, and as long as we control the trade with Western Europe, no one will explore the Americas. This virgin land can continue to develop slowly for at least 20 years before entering the eyes of people outside the Greater China Alliance. After all, public opinion is in our hands, and it is not up to us to decide when to guide the people to develop? ”
"Don't discuss this kind of trivial matter, Zhao Shouzhong, who is in charge of news and public opinion, will break the news about a few failed cases, just reverse the risks and returns, and ensure that no one will take the initiative to go there. Now the focus of our discussion is when we develop the market, now our textile industry production capacity has reached 100 million people (consumption level is equivalent to the current average annual consumption of the country) days, the area of cotton and fiber crops planted has exceeded the future generations (90 million mu, the yield of 300 kg of seed cotton per mu of high-yield cotton seeds, that is, about 27 million tons of seed cotton, 9 million tons of lint, according to the price of 500 dragon yuan a ton is 4.5 billion yuan of annual output value, downstream textile, printing and dyeing, clothing, The total output value of cloth and other industries is also more than 20 times the output value. )。
The total consumer population within the whole alliance is only 200 million people, and in the era when there is no chemical fiber, the processing, textile, printing and dyeing of cotton, linen and animal wool are the main light industries and pillar non-agricultural industries. According to the annual consumption of 20 kilograms per person, it is only 4 billion kilograms, equivalent to 4 million tons, which is already a huge amount of water. In fact, the empire's cultivated land area is only 1.4 billion mu, and a large amount of cultivated land is newly developed, with the Yellow River basin being the most mature, and 80% of the two lakes and the Pearl River region being newly cultivated less than 10 years old. Therefore, the only commercial grain bases with high and stable yield are the alluvial fan of the Yellow River, the Taihu Lake Plain and the Chengdu Plain. That's almost the limit of agricultural capacity. Nowadays, almost no grain is grown in this book, and all of them are silkworms and high value-added cash crops. Goryeo is similar, and the coastal plains are almost exclusively commercial farms where cash crops such as cotton, fruit trees, and cedar trees are grown.
Most of our annual grain exports are absorbed by countries such as Korea (with a population of 8 million and Korea with a population of 2.7 million). Rice imports from the South Sea countries are also mainly supplied to the nearby Sulu and Spice Islands, which provide cash crops. In a few years, our fertilizer production capacity will come up, and a surplus of food will be inevitable. Falling food prices will make grain cultivation unprofitable, and the acreage will naturally fall, freeing up more space for high-margin tobacco, cane sugar, dyes, corn and soybeans for feed. The abundance of food can further promote the improvement of life expectancy, and a better body can naturally marry early and have children, increase the childbearing time, and the era of 7 or 8 births in a family can become a common phenomenon (those who are born and cannot be raised are not counted). "Sun Chang naturally supports the transformation of the agricultural industry, and every time he goes to the countryside, he sees patches of rice fields and wheat fields, which is a nightmare. This single structure is simply the sworn enemy of modern commodity agriculture, and its ability to resist risks is unimaginably weak. Without profits, there is naturally no purchasing power, and this kind of conservative and stubborn peasant household has only one way out.
"In agriculture, we have always practiced a planned economy! We have 40% of the total arable land under our control, both directly and indirectly through our partners, so what to grow is not up to us? Cooperatives don't eat dry food. The price is in the hands of us, the futures controller, and there will never be an overcapacity. With our monopoly, do you need to worry? "Liu Xin always stands and talks without backache.
"I'm not worried about agriculture, I'm only worried about purchasing power and market issues, now our industrial capacity is expanding rapidly, and the output of steel and cement has reached the goal at this stage, but the textile industry that is developing too fast is not as big as steel and cement, and the overcapacity continues to be in the market, can the 30 million people of the ten allies afford to eat the extra 2 million tons of textiles in the empire?" Although Liu Jiao is satisfied with the efficiency of the statistical department, he is unable to optimize these statistics.
"We have to rely on the vast colonies and the backward tribes that have not yet joined the free world to absorb the excess production capacity that we cannot digest, and it is not too late to start the East India Company model."
"What do you mean by the 'East India Company model'?"
"It's turning India into a buffer pool that is like absorbing our excess capacity. As long as we get the strategic reserve system right and manage the pace of expansion, I believe there will be no jokes like the Great Depression. ”
"Chola is the first chicken or the last chicken we killed?"
"There are so many countries in the Indian subcontinent that a chicken must not be able to fill our teeth. We need at least three chickens to control the entire Indian subcontinent. ”
"So when will the next two be killed?"
"Why don't you ask if it's the two?" Wang Xinyu immediately thought that his battle plan had been leaked.
"It must be the Baltic Dynasty and Nepal, do you still need to ask? Do you still have to guess your surname? Specially pinched the vital life, control Nepal will control the southern foothills of the Himalayas, control the Baltic Kingdom will control the Bay of Bengal and the Ganges Delta, these two key points are in hand, and what country in the South Asian subcontinent can blow up with us? Bai Jia looks like a master strategist.
"Yes, Nepal is poor and bad, the people are brave, and it is the best source of mountain warfare, and the British Empire in later generations is not to make the Polo Kingdom rich and weak, it is said that Bo Xishan is walking on the downhill road, and he will be driven out of Bengal soon, and it is not too much to use his breath." Zhao Shouzhong knows what happened to the last guardian of Indian Buddhism in history.
"The Pala Dynasty was the last country in India to embrace Buddhism, and successive Pala kings were devout Buddhists, and they long funded the construction of Nalanda Temple and Chaojie Temple, the famous Buddhist universities in North India. Among them, the temple was built by the king of the Pala Dynasty, Dharmapola, and is said to be larger than the Nalanda Temple built during the Gupta Dynasty. I feel that supporting a weak person in the snow is more conducive to occupying the moral high ground, helping us to eliminate the rancid caste system and promote the market economy and trade. Wang Neng immediately thought that the root cause of India's difficulty in promoting trade was completely different from that of the Qing Empire, and that the disparity between the rich and the poor caused by the caste system was the source of the difficulty in dumping commodities, which was completely different from the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy of other countries that had no purchasing power.
"Do you want to set a colonial model in the Polo dynasty again? British Bengal back then was a model of failure, and I don't think the Polo Dynasty was a dou who could be held up. Liu Jiao had doubts.
"Whether it can be supported or not depends not only on whether it is Adou, but also on whether it is worth our support, and it is precisely because this dynasty meets these two criteria that I decided to let it border the empire." Li Ji unfolds the map.
"You mean to destroy the Gamo wave between Dali and the Balo Kingdom? Will that divide it with the Polo dynasty or monopolize the country? Sun Chang asked.
"This is a high-yield agricultural area with abundant rainfall, so naturally it will not be for the Polo Dynasty, and I am going to build a model area here, and make it the best model area to attract the elites of the whole subcontinent. This will be a window for us to break through the South Asian subcontinent, and by building a road, we will have to pass through this closed and backward country from Dali to the Baltic Kingdom (Gama Wipo is the later Indian state of Assam, surrounded by the Himalayas and Rakhine Mountains). The name Kama Wisp has its origin. Legend has it that once Eros tried to sabotage Shiva's practice and angered Shiva, who opened his third eye and burned Eros to ashes, and Eros lost his body. Eros and his wife Rorty underwent a long period of penance and prayer, and finally Lord Shiva expressed his satisfaction and gave Eros the form again. The place where this happened was called Kamobo. Gama means love, wisp wave means form, and Gama and wisp wave are combined to form the word Gama wisp, which means love God). Li Ji said.
"Is the Nepal army sent from Tibet or from the Bay of Bengal?" Wang Xinyu asked, pointing to Nepal.
"It costs too much to send troops from Tibet, so let's send troops from Bangladesh!" Liu Xin looked at the expense table and frowned, and firmly supported the dispatch of troops from Bangladesh against the current.
"As long as we can eliminate Chola, who is a foreign power and a middle-class cadre, all the countries in the subcontinent will submit, and Nepal's affairs can be done without a single soldier. Our diplomatic team in Segani can do a good job of cooperating, so that some Hindu noble lords can return to Ghaznavid's hometown from barren Nepal to live in peace, Nepal will naturally become a vassal state dependent on us without internal and external troubles, and its status will refer to Goryeo, and then the power of Tibetan Buddhism will be reflected in it. In a few years, Nepal and the Misaro will merge and all of them will be Buddhist. We institutionally arranged for those nobles to enter the Gama Wave, which was in desperate need of manpower to build the country, so that these vassal states could develop a group of 'national commercial capitalists' more quickly.
When the time comes, North India will return to the light of the Buddha, which is definitely a colonial template that can be compared to jihad. Zhao Shouzhong suggested.
"Leave the diplomatic side to me, the Ghaznavid empire has long been in turmoil in internal and external troubles, and the many small Muslim kingdoms in the country have long since exhausted their coffers, and if it were not for our large amount of economic aid and trade tariffs, this empire would have been destroyed by the Seljuk Empire and domestic rebellion.
I don't believe that this failing country still has the strength to persecute the Hindu lords and nobles at home. As long as their Sunni lords are able to ease the ethnic conflict (the conflict of interests between the Turkic nobility and the indigenous slave-owning aristocracy) and religious conflict, we can use wealth to smash their disobedient minds. No one is going to have trouble with money, and anyone who tries to challenge us to maintain order in the region will inevitably become the poorest of the happier. All we need is economic sanctions to keep Ghaznavid's armrests up and down. ”
The affairs of the subcontinent are always easy to solve, Wang Xuance's deeds inspire the traversers, India's fragile military traditions do not arouse the interest of using force, and a beaten subcontinent is not what the traversal wants. Only by using diplomatic and economic means can we show the superiority of advanced civilizations.
The only worthy opponents in the entire subcontinent are those who have established a unified empire and the great kings, and the number of people who are less than two digits such as Siddhartha, Ashoka, and King of Ordination, and the others are really difficult to know. It's a pity that there is no one in India right now who can be a rival to the Crossing Crowd.
In ancient India, where there were no written records and no paper, countless achievements in various fields were also wiped out in the cycle of chaos and history. The traversal brings to the subcontinent not only the hope of order and unity, but also a civilization that transcends its time.
The years of trade that preceded the use of force had made the coastal states aware of the power and wealth of the empire, and countless nobles and brahmins had realized the maritime power and commodity prosperity of the empire, but they were slow to recognize the enormous influence of the empire on the traditions and forms of civilization of the subcontinent.
The shock caused by the massive import of commodities was defused by the huge export of primary and agricultural products, and the whole society was quickly drawn into the market economy, the manor economy, the basis of the existence of the traditional slave agricultural society, was destroyed, and a large number of people and labor were liberated from inefficient agriculture and moved into cities and ports. Countless magnates drove Shudras and untouchables to mine and cut down forests in order to obtain more consumer goods. The advantage of being surrounded by many nations is that the ability to resist is weak. This is also a prerequisite for colonization by all major powers -- the colonized objects must not be too large and too uniform. (To be continued.) )
