Chapter 105: Standard Colony Template
After eating the send-off wine, he took Xiao Xuesi's letter of introduction and returned to Jiezhou, a place where cheated money, and asked his old boss for a new position. Thanks to the strict financial information confidentiality system and environment, only a few handling personnel knew about this incident, Wang Jinhua's old boss, Li Zai, who was in charge of the finance of the Jiezhou Salt Industry Group, learned that the above forgave Wang Jinhua and others, and re-accepted them into the key training talent plan, and he also admired the above decision, and he also knew the talents of these three people. Knowing that Wang Jinhua was going to come back to atone for his sins, he was naturally very happy, and personally went to his future job arrangement.
This new job is the Papermaking and Pharmaceutical Branch of the Fine Chemical Research Institute controlled by the North Chemical Group, which is a subordinate unit of the downstream brother unit of the Salt Industry Group.
Unlike the plot of impunity, the bill counterfeiter Wang Jinhua was quickly found, and the result was the same. Wang Jinhua successfully joined this research institute to provide technical support for the safety of the huge business kingdom. It has made great contributions to anti-counterfeiting bills and identification, and of course, patents and bonuses are also unimaginably rich.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― for thousands of years, there has always been a background in the picturesque but poor Guangnan West Road area, and it is difficult to achieve economic development in a closed environment caused by inconvenient transportation.
The Travelers are as little valued in this region as they were in later generations. When Bai Jia made a fortune on the Golden Island, he would never have thought that there would be a war thousands of miles away in the west.
The cause of this small-scale war was that the blood pumping effect was too strong due to the crossing of the trading posts opened by the people on the Song-Vietnam border, and the reasonable scissors of the bulk trade were too large.
Originally, the trade between Song and Yue was very small-scale, and there were few economic contradictions, but when the traversal who was a gravedigger of the feudal society appeared, a large number of maritime trade and land border trade in the Quang Nam area became hot. After the cross-border sold a large number of high-quality and low-cost consumer goods produced by the factories opened in the Quang Nam area to the country of Da Viet, the contradiction arose. Due to the lack of Song money, a very ordinary chintz garment could be exchanged for fifty times the weight of the garment, and a finely fired porcelain could be exchanged for fifty huge ceramic water tanks. The sturdy ball bearings and spring-loaded steel carriage gaskets can be exchanged for a thousand times the weight of fine pig iron. Therefore, when a shipload of goods arrives at the port for import, it takes ten or even fifty ships of goods to leave the port for export in order to balance the trade balance. Even a fool knows to suffer, let alone a calculating businessman.
This gross asymmetry of trade was found in all of the Great Song's neighbors, but none of them had such a severe trade deficit.
The Tibetan population was sparse, and it was able to export gold, silver, ore, and precious medicinal herbs to balance the various consumer goods and luxuries that were only available to the upper class.
Western Xia was also not very large, and could balance the deficit by exporting large quantities of dairy products, dried meat, mineral salt, wool, horsehair and other specialties that were originally used as garbage waste.
It could have been able to export gold, silver, pearls, copper ore, sulfur, saltpeter, woodware, paintings, handicrafts, high-quality aquatic seafood, and so on to balance the deficit.
Dali has jade, jade, medicinal materials, copper ore, lead-zinc ore, marble and other minerals that are needed to balance the import of consumer goods.
However, there are very few products that Daiyue can export. At most, there are worthless rice, timber, textile raw materials (flax and a small amount of raw silk), which are simply not able to be purchased for the purpose of exchanging large quantities of consumer goods.
So it stands to reason that trading should continue to be small. However, in order to expand sales performance, some senior staff members who knew that there were many minerals in Daietsu engaged in a trade innovation. Taking the art of buying on credit to the extreme, a land purchase contract was made hundreds of years in advance, and a deal similar to the purchase of Alaska by the United States appeared in this way.
Due to the lack of cash and grain to repay the payment, Da Yue borrowed a large number of relatively low-value forests, barren mountains, rivers, lakes, water bodies, beaches and wastelands as collateral to buy goods. The money was siphoned off by exporters in Quang Nam on the grounds that they had been in arrears for the past few years. It is equivalent to nominally losing the ownership of almost one-third of the entire land area without fishing anything (mostly terra nullius land and uninhabited land of very low value, the ancients paid very little attention to non-high-yield fertile land, and the number and area of mortgages were large when discounted), so many upper echelons in Dayue were dissatisfied. When the merchants of Quang Nam sent people to these mortgaged lands for sneaky prospecting and prospecting, they found a large amount of coal, iron, chromium, tin, apatite, pyrite, kaolin, glass-making white sand, graphite, mica, asbestos, refractories, rare earths, bauxite, and phosphate.
These minerals are necessary raw materials for many subordinate industries, even if the ore is dug out and transported to many ports along the coast for processing, it is very cheap compared to local manpower, and water transportation is also very developed.
When the magnates of Dayue learned that they had been deceived, they were naturally very indignant, and together with the army, they reoccupied these mines.
The subordinates of Guangnan naturally did not dare to hide such a huge book loss, and after reporting it, Sun Chang immediately realized that this was an opportunity. An emergency meeting was held to discuss how to recover the bad debts.
When Wang Xinyu found out, he immediately jumped up and asked to send a large number of troops to destroy these bastards who interfered with his own mines, and he couldn't help but be so blatantly provocative after holding back for several years.
More than ten years ago, the Great Song Empire fought a war with the Li Dynasty of the Great Yue, and finally ended with the Yue Kingdom seeking peace. The national strength of the Yue State was weak, and as a newly-born vassal state, it dared to blow up the stab shortly after surrendering, apparently because the Great Song Empire would not want this loss-making territory. For thousands of years, China's core territory has never broken through the territory of the Qin Empire south of the Great Wall and east of the Tibetan Plateau in the hands of successive rulers. This area suitable for the production conditions of Han small farmers reached the limit, and it is such a large place that neither the south nor the north is suitable for the traditional agricultural lifestyle of the Han population. The sea in the east and the plateau in the west. Therefore, the land south of the Tropic of Cancer and the land north of the Great Wall are of negative value to the agrarian peoples. If it is not for strategic purposes, the occupation of such land is purely brain-dead. Even the mighty Tang and Ming dynasties did not have much interest in this Red River Delta.
But this land, rich in mineral and commercial resources, was extremely attractive to merchants, especially industrial capitalists.
In order to put an end to the formation of the two Erwuzai, Li Ji, who vowed to completely integrate the two regions into China, formulated a plan that would later become a standard colonial template.
The plan was divided into three phases, corresponding to the three phases of colonization. The first stage is the stage of grabbing land, no matter how many eras it lags behind China, as long as it is backward, it will grab the land first. Whether it's all or in part, it's just the maximum foothold. Just like Britain did with the American Indians.
The second stage is to grab resources, whether natural or social. All roads, land, minerals, agricultural and sideline products, slaves, talents, and cultural heritage that are beneficial to the development of the Han nationality have all been snatched up. Just like the great powers of the nineteenth century treated China.
The third stage is to treat this land as a commercial colony, comprehensively carry out infrastructure construction and investment, extract wealth and capital in all directions, and use artificial means to cycle economic crises and prosperity, and shear sheep one by one, just as the United States treats the capital.
According to this template, except for Goryeo and Dayue, which were in the early stage of the first stage, all the neighboring states of the Great Song Empire (Western Xia, Dali, Yueben, and Liao) had a large number of strongholds or even completely annexed them. The plundering of resources and the dumping of commodities have already begun) are the second stage. In order to achieve the goal of reaching the second stage for all of its neighbors, the Crossing Masses have stepped up the pace of erosion and cultivation of local elites.
A large amount of secret funds were deposited into the private accounts of the powerful people in the local Chenji Bank (just add a few more numbers, and the empty accounts that cannot be withdrawn can only be withdrawn by the powerful who meet the requirements of the traversal), and a large number of secret agents have infiltrated the target area with the merchants.
A month later, the thief army that invaded the Quang Nam West Road was exterminated by the Yongzhou Jiedu envoys, and two months later, Li Qiande, the fourth emperor of the Li Dynasty of Vietnam, requested the opening of the port for trade......
A year later, almost all the powerful people in Vietnam became the debtors of Chenji Bank, and credit card installment consumption was the main reason for their debts.
Those who dared to repay their debts were killed by the decapitation tactics of the traversal.
