Chapter 770: The number one conspirator of the Ming Dynasty
After a while, Li Dongyang raised his head, his face was not so solemn, but a little more helpless, such a look made him look a little old. His eyes fell on his son, but he didn't speak, just sat upright, holding his eyebrows with one hand, and tapping lightly on the scroll with the other, as if he was thinking about something.
The father Mo Ruozi, Li Zhaoxian's relationship with his father is not as strict as that of ordinary father and son, but the relationship is still good, he knows what his father is thinking, and he also knows what he wants to ask, and why he is reluctant to ask.
He smiled and explained: "Master Hou's strategy, when a child first hears it, is also a general surprise, but if you can study all the theories taught by the academy thoroughly, you can also sort out a trace of context......
Li Gongzi's interests were wide-ranging, and the academic atmosphere of the academy was also relaxed, so he was not limited to which college he studied, but wandered back and forth between several majors.
However, gold always shines, and the greatest function of the academy founded by Xie Hong is to discover the talents of the students. Despite his brilliance and outstanding performance in several fields, the professors at the college unanimously decided that economics was where he could really show his talents.
Therefore, when Xie Hong returned to Beijing and ordered the business school to recruit economic talents, Li Gongzi was the first to be recommended. Xie Hong has always only looked at his ability, and he didn't care much about his background, and after a long talk, he was very satisfied with the candidate.
In this field, Xie Hong himself is also a half-ass, he only knows some financial knowledge from online forums and news and other information, so that he can build a complete modern or modern economic system by himself, which is definitely not possible.
After all, hundreds of years and several eras apart, even the fur that he said was incomprehensible to people of this era. Perhaps in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, these ideas were more acceptable to people, and there were Guan Zhong, Fan Li, and LΓΌ Buwei in that era, all of whom were famous for their business and later generations, and there were also figures who made achievements.
Therefore, Li Gongzi, who is uninhibited, dares to think what others dare not think, and has a talent for learning, has become the person who can best understand these advanced concepts, and what is even more rare is that he can still apply what he has learned, which is also a surprise for Xie Hong.
Even so, when Xie Hong threw out the whole plan, Li Zhaoxian was also surprised, what he was thinking at that time was not much different from what his father was thinking now, he just felt that it was a stupid plan.
Not to mention giving money to people, there is also the suspicion of raising tigers, whether it is a Japanese person or a stick, they are all of different races, not my race, their hearts must be different, isn't this the concept that Hou Ye himself has been pursuing? After receiving Xie Hong's prompts, combined with economic concepts, and careful study, he had a hint of enlightenment.
"On the surface, the Osaka Special Economic Zone that the Ming Dynasty helped build the Japanese state seems to be replicating Tianjin's experience...... Although there is a corresponding lease agreement, within the lease period, it can be regarded as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is in the territory of the Japanese State, and most of the workers are used by the Japanese State, and it is difficult to ensure that there is a ...... in case on the side of others."
"Hmm." Listening to his son's explanation, Li Dongyang bowed slightly, which was also what he was most puzzled about.
Tianjin's prosperity has the effect of hitting the prestige of Shilin, but it is undeniable that its prosperity has also brought great benefits to the country, and a steady stream of wealth has flowed into the treasury.
As the saying goes: one white covers ten ugliness. The premise of politics is the economy, as long as there is no shortage of money, even if there are some deficiencies in the political system, they will be covered up together, and the impact will be minimal.
This is why Europe began to rise after the Age of Discovery, and gradually established a complete modern system, because they were not short of money. In the process of establishment, there are actually many defects, but people are not short of money, so any crisis can be smoothly passed. Li Dongyang doesn't know about Europe, but he still knows the relationship very well.
"But this is only a superficial phenomenon, in fact, there is a fundamental difference between Osaka and Tianjin." Li Zhaoxian's self-denial attracted Li Dongyang's interest even more, and he sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively.
"First of all, there is the problem of personnel, unlike Tianjin, in the workshops of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa people can only act as the lowest level of workers, they may learn some skills, but that is the most superficial, belonging to the kind of technology that ordinary people can get started with in a month or two of training, and there is no technical content at all. With this kind of technology, I want to develop a more advanced one, hehe......"
He smiled contemptuously and said: "That will be a very long process, and the imperial court of the Japanese Kingdom will have to implement corresponding measures to cooperate, Tianjin can succeed, the most critical link is the academy, only from the academy to obtain a steady stream of senior talents in various fields, Tianjin can have enough vitality and continue to move forward." β
"The academy is ......" Li Dongyang nodded silently, from the time the academy was established, he had a hunch that this new thing would have an impact on the world and bring great changes.
Now that his premonition has come true, he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, and in terms of his identity and age, he actually doesn't like to change. Scholars always shout about the ancestral system, and the ancestral system, in addition to the maintenance of the system, is also not without this kind of thought, maintaining stability, stability and change, is much safer than rash innovation.
But now it seems that Xie Hong's innovation is successful, from the very first step, this young man has already been in his chest, and the plan of one ring after another shows that he has a complete reform strategy in his heart, so he will have the current achievement. Although Li Dongyang would feel stunned and didn't want to recognize the other party, he still had to admire.
"There is also the issue of industrial structure. The workshops opened in the Wa Kingdom are not the same as those in Tianjin, those workshops mainly focus on the use of nearby resources, and also focus on industries that are dangerous and easy to cause pollution, such as papermaking, gunpowder, some chemical industries, etc., although these industries are lucrative, they can consume more resources, and they are also labor-intensive ......."
Li Dongyang seems to understand whether he understands or not, he still understands resources and something, papermaking needs wood, bamboo, gunpowder needs sulfur, saltpeter, these resources are quite a lot in the country, the latter is a specialty; He also understands the surname of danger. However, he has no concept of pollution or anything, and as for the so-called labor-intensive industries, he can only be dumbfounded.
"Anyway, there are both advantages and disadvantages, and the benefits are all in front of you, and as time goes by, there are fewer and less; The disadvantages will slowly appear in the future, and they will be out of control. What's more, these industries do not contribute much to the industrialization process and belong to the sunset industry. β
Li Dongyang was confused, and Li Zhaoxian was quite laborious to explain, it was not that he didn't want to explain in popular words as much as possible, but in the end he gave up his efforts. He found that without Xie Hong's new terms, it would be more laborious to explain.
"That'...... What about the system of treasure money? The treasure money system during the Hongwu period was still quite perfect, and this time it made up for the omissions, and it seemed that there were no flaws. Even though the Japanese were unable to carry out the so-called industrialization process, if they used this to quell the civil strife and respect the royal family and tens of millions of Japanese people, the threat would still be quite large, right? β
As the first assistant, Li Dongyang could not have no understanding of economics at all, and he had studied the policies implemented by the Ming Dynasty and even the former Song Dynasty. The Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty belonged to the spontaneous flow of the people, and the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty were also implemented after absorbing the experience of Jiaozi. In addition to the section on tax recovery, measures such as anti-counterfeiting and circulation are quite complete.
Xie Hong had to explain in detail when he talked about the Japanese monarchs and ministers, but as soon as Li Dongyang saw these terms, he deduced the benefits that Xie Hong said to the Japanese people, which was also what he was most worried about.
"In fact, the treasure money system is the deadliest move." Li Zhaoxian shook his head, with admiration, and sighed with some fascination: "When Hou Ye first talked about the currency war, including the knowledgeable Principal Wang, they all felt unbelievable and a little disapproving, but now it seems that Hou Ye's great talent, even if he was the prime minister back then, is not as good as it!" β
"Guan Zhong buys deer, wears silk, and buys foxes, all of which are wonderful and momentary strategies, but in the end, after all, he still has to turn his face and move the ...... of the sword."
Li Zhaoxian looked admired, and said leisurely: "But the Hou Ye solved the Wa Kingdom, but let his monarchs and ministers take the bait, and willingly stepped into the abyss, even if they look at it afterwards, they can't see the mystery inside, and in the end they can only feel sorry for themselves, or complain about the heavens and others, and when the Hou Ye makes another move, the Wa Kingdom will be grateful, Dad, can you imagine?" β
Li Dongyang could only shake his head, when it came to this, he was getting more and more confused, this kind of thing sounded like a myth, how could he imagine it?
"After Hou Ye perfected it, the treasure banknote system looks impeccable, but in essence, it is also a superficial imagination, at most, in the first few years of issuance, there will be no trouble, it will not collapse, and after a few years, it will be worse."
"Huh?" Li Dongyang was very surprised, he thought about it, and took out a rumor and questioned: "However, for my father, I heard that not all the imperial villages such as Zhenbaozhai and Lichun Courtyard ......."
"Not bad." Li Zhaoxian nodded, and admitted it directly, "Many industries under the jurisdiction of Huangzhuang have begun to use new treasure banknotes for trading, but that is limited to internal circulation, and it is also concentrated on large-scale transactions......
Wow, what a plot! Although it is none of his business, the cold sweat on Li Dongyang's head still came down with a 'swoop', even if these widows were unlucky, they met the Ming Dynasty, no, the number one conspirator in the history of Huaxia.
According to past experience, the foreplay has done so much, and the ** part of this conspiracy must not be small! Although he has not yet glimpsed the full picture of the plan, Lao Li has already mourned in his heart for the Japanese people.
