The chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually caused by the conflict between feudalism and capitalism, which led to the emergence of two 'kings', one was feudalism represented by the emperor on the surface, and the other was capitalism represented by the Jiangnan chaebol.

If the world cannot be unified, it will naturally be chaotic.

But now the emperor began to develop capitalism, and in the context of the flood of commodity economy, he also began to develop the commodity economy, and established local trade barriers to contain the commodities in the Jiangnan region, turning the northern economy around in one fell swoop, and successfully established a state-owned capital consortium and created a new capital interest group.

Capital is a game of big fish eating small fish, and the southern chaebol is the product of the collusion between officials and businessmen, while the state-owned capital consortium in the north is also the result of the integration of government and business, because it is state-owned. On the contrary, it is to enter the capital market in an official capacity, and all kinds of official resources are used in an open and honest manner.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the northern state-owned capital consortium to rise. But I ran into Zhu Youxiao, who was a traverser. Not only understand the mode of capital operation, but also know how to develop production technology, but also know how to play trade barriers.

Under the protection of official policies, the state-owned capital consortium in the north has been successfully incubated and can compete head-on with private capital in the south.

The state-owned capital consortium is like a regular army, while the capital of the south is huge, but their power is relatively dispersed.

The biggest gap is still in terms of the strength that the two sides can mobilize now.

The private businessmen in the south have huge capital, but the industry has been constantly attacked, and in the event of a war, they are not at all a level of players. Is it possible to directly smash silver on the battlefield?

Today, the state-owned capital consortium is vigorously developing high-efficiency agriculture. The aim is to 'liberate' more people from the land. Thus building a variety of infrastructure. as well as the development of various industrial productions. In the event of a war, the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized will be extremely terrifying.

If the southern chaebol is willing to spend money on development at this time, it is possible to compete with state-owned capital, but it is tantamount to a fantasy to let this scattered chaebol and businessman spend money, how much money does everyone spend? How to throw money at it? It's all a huge problem.

The fundamental problem, in fact, is that the production technology is backward.

It is not without Jiangnan businessmen who want to use the technology of the New Deal area, for example, glass production technology has now spread to the south.

It's just that the factory owners in the south have just produced glass products. The imperial court jumped out to collect patent fees, which was simply a lion's big mouth and directly overthrew the factory.

Patent!

When the Jiangnan chaebol and businessmen knew that this thing existed, their hearts were like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, which was simply a shameless monopoly.

But the patent law is supported by craftsmen.

Although the patent law is indeed an accomplice of monopoly, and there are a lot of tricks in it, at least what technology they invented, it is still possible to get rich overnight.

There are many examples of getting rich overnight through technological invention in New Deal areas. Of course, more key technologies are still officially developed under the auspices of the government. Patent ownership is official. At the same time, if the technology that is widely used is invented by individuals, it is usually acquired by the state-owned capital consortium, and it is difficult to enter the application field if it is not sold. At the same time, there is also a mandatory enforcement clause in the Patent Law, once a patented invention has not been applied for more than two years, the official can carry out compulsory authorization for application.

Under normal circumstances, state-owned capital will not treat those inventors who have invented advanced technology badly, and when they encounter promising inventions, they will offer a good price to buy them, but if the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, there is also a way to control them.

Patent law has now become a very sweet bait, tempting many people to focus on invention and creation.

Nowadays, the state-owned capital consortium has a very simple means to deal with the private capital in the south, and since these people are unwilling to accept reform, they will continue to compress their capital living space.

Capital itself is a game of big fish eating small fish, a noose has been tied to the neck of the southern private capital, this noose will be tighter and tighter, and the private capital that does not want to die will naturally turn to the state-owned capital consortium, because capital is also weak. In such a situation, those businessmen will have the mentality: I will not turn to the capital of the outside invasion, and others will also turn to them. Rather than this, it is better for me to take refuge in the past, at least to ensure my own glory and wealth.

This is also the reason why there will be so many lackey capital businessmen in later generations who will turn to foreign capital, and there are also backbone national businessmen, but they are usually the targets of crazy encirclement and suppression by foreign capital.

This is the trend of the times, and the final outcome of the private capital in the south is that part of it will take refuge in state-owned capital, and part of it will be jointly encircled and suppressed by state-owned capital and the capital businessmen who have taken refuge in it.

It's just that at present, the state-owned capital consortium has not yet completely digested the northern market, and there are still a large number of overseas colonies that are being digested, and it is temporarily impossible to draw such a huge amount of capital to encircle and suppress the private businessmen in the south. But the siege is unfolding all the time, and now it is very uncomfortable for the southern capital merchants.

Such a strategy will also lead to a bigger problem, that is, it will disrupt the economic structure of the South, resulting in a large number of people losing their jobs.

But as a result, unemployment can be solved through immigration and recruitment. They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the south can freely immigrate and work in the provinces, unlike the laborers of other countries, who are subject to certain restrictions when they enter the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, in order to avoid the entry of laborers from other countries into Daming to cause public security problems, the introduction of external workers is to directly sign a large-scale labor contract, one-time transportation of thousands or tens of thousands of people to Daming, and then concentrate on some construction sites to work, after the end of the labor contract, and then send people back collectively.

Moreover, the people of the southern provinces are relatively outstanding in terms of cultural level and production mind, and the immigration of the southern people to overseas is conducive to the development of overseas resources by the Ming Dynasty and the occupation of them for a long time.

At the same time, there are also a large number of craftsmen in the South, and these craftsmen are also the talents that are in great demand in the current New Deal area.

Unemployment is actually not terrible, as long as it is settled. The Jiangnan chaebols and businessmen will gradually become weaker and weaker due to the loss of talents and population, as well as the continuous shrinking of the industry.

At the dawn of the industrial revolution, the reshuffle has just begun, and the reshuffle will become more and more intense. (To be continued.) )
