Chapter 373: Treating Indian Policy

The attitude of small and medium-sized businessmen in the New Deal area to support the reform has formed a general trend, and the attitude of small and medium-sized businessmen in the South has also changed to support the New Deal after coming into contact with the New Deal.

The class groups that opposed the New Deal were the big capitalist businessmen and the tax-exempt nobles. The power of these people in the Jiangnan region is extremely huge, to the extent that it is intertwined.

However, Zhu Youxiao is not in a hurry to reform the southern provinces at this time, after all, the industrial revolution has begun, and in a few years, the state-owned capital in the New Deal area, as well as the private capital that supports the reform, will throw away those big capital businessmen in the south, and then the southern provinces will have to reform if they do not reform.

Zhu Youxiao, who is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, is naturally not in a hurry, but those big capital businessmen in the south are very anxious. As the Ming Dynasty began to expand overseas, state-owned capital gained incomparably rich benefits in a wave. But for those big capital businessmen in the south, they don't have their share.

Whether it's those big chaebols, or those sea merchants.

The Northeast, the Western Regions, Taiwan, the South Seas, Australia, and the Indochina Peninsula are all dominated by state-owned capital. Those maritime merchants are not bad, and they can still drive ships to run goods, but the trade of profiteering goods is monopolized, and they can't make too amazing huge profits in those trading ports.

What five or six times the windfall profits of sea trade, that is a phenomenon that will only arise when trade is not frequent, but with the frequent trade and the continuous exchange of the market, the profit is definitely reduced. But the side with higher production technology must have an advantage in trade. At the same time, some commodities can still make some huge profits, but more often than not, huge profits are achieved by greater trade volumes.

On the contrary, it was the Jiangnan chaebol that did not gain any benefits in the external expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

At first, I didn't look down on those overseas barren places. As a result, state-owned capital mobilized resources and developed them, and those places gradually became blessed lands with abundant products.

Now the Jiangnan chaebol has suddenly woken up when he discovers that state-owned capital has to obtain incomparably rich profits from overseas every year. It also began to export capital to overseas regions.

What are you going to do?

Of course, it's an investment~!

They also set up agricultural companies and then exploited the wasteland, or bought plantations and other industries from others, so as to achieve land annexation.

They also went to Indochina to invest in rice farming. Organize indigenous reclamation of rice fields.

They also entered Australia and tried to buy land and minerals in Australia, but after entering Australia, they were sniped by the state-owned capital.

Australia is a region with a high degree of state-owned capital, and whether land, minerals and various resources are sold or not is determined by state-owned capital.

Suddenly, it was discovered that a huge amount of capital was pouring into Australia, and state-owned capital immediately imposed strict control on the sale of means of production.

In the ninth year of the Apocalypse, the strategy of the Jiangnan chaebol changed greatly. These Jiangnan chaebols began to actively penetrate the national market and made large investments in order to find a way to compete with state-owned capital.

But the cruel reality is that what can make the Jiangnan chaebol turn around in this era is nothing more than two things. One is the financial industry and the other is the industrial industry.

The financial industry has been controlled by state-owned capital, and it is difficult for the Jiangnan chaebol to make great achievements. The industry of the Jiangnan chaebol is being continuously encircled and suppressed by state-owned capital at this time.

Actively investing in agriculture and other industries is only delaying the defeat of the Jiangnan chaebol. But if you consider it from the financial level, it even exacerbates the speed of defeat.

Some small and medium-sized factory owners in southern Jiangsu had already discovered at this time that the New Deal reform was actually very beneficial to them. Because the market after the reform is simply so prosperous that it is jaw-dropping. The thriving market made them salivate, but unfortunately they had been excluded from the market before. I could only blush and watch the merchants in the New Deal area happily enjoy the prosperous market.

Since the emperor recently lifted the trade barriers between the New Deal and the old system, many factory owners in southern Jiangsu have begun to export goods to the north and have regained a way to survive.

The Northern Market and the New Deal Market of the Overseas Colonies, with a large amount of investment, the common people obtained income and generated a huge demand for goods. As long as their goods can enter this market, as long as the goods are good, they can get good sales.

However, soon after Jiangnan's goods entered the New Deal market, they were collectively protested and boycotted by merchants in the New Deal area.

For the merchants in the New Deal area, the goods in the Jiangnan area still pose a huge threat to them. In particular, after the abolition of trade barriers, only one commodity value-added tax was charged for external goods entering the New Deal area, and no other industrial and commercial business tax and personal income tax were paid, so that goods in some fields were quickly impacted.

For this phenomenon, it is as if the imperial court has not discovered it at all. This made many businessmen in the New Deal area begin to be extremely dissatisfied with the current independence of the southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty from the New Deal system, and asked the imperial court to include the southern provinces in the scope of the New Deal.

As everyone knows, this is Zhu Youxiao forcing them to stand in line!

In other words, there are indeed many businessmen who are accelerating the recognition of the New Deal by businessmen in the New Deal area, making them realize the benefits of the New Deal system, and not eating meat all day long and still opposing the New Deal there.

In the major newspapers, there were also quick calls from businessmen in the New Deal areas to include the southern provinces in the New Deal system, or to re-establish trade barriers in the New Deal market.

It was a battle of interests that quickly sparked a wave of public opinion.

This upsurge of public opinion also quickly spread to the southern provinces, and through these newspapers, businessmen in the southern provinces gradually became aware of the prosperity of the New Deal market in the north. At the same time, it was also surprising to find that businessmen in the New Deal area have become accustomed to paying taxes, and even fully supportive of them.

The businessmen in the New Deal area naturally supported such a system at this time, because most of the businessmen in the New Deal area at this time were small and medium-sized businessmen who had risen under such a system, and most of the other big capital businessmen had become a thing of the past and had been surrounded and suppressed by the state-owned capital consortium.

Perhaps some big-capital businessmen still have a lot of money in their hands at this time, but their industries are gradually losing in the encirclement and suppression of state-owned capital. A businessman without an industry, even if he has money in his hands, his influence becomes very limited. This is the difference in influence between the usury businessman and the businessman who is very businessman.

Therefore, most of the big capitalist businessmen who opposed the New Deal have finished up, and naturally they can't jump up. The state-owned capital consortium and a large number of small and medium-sized capital businessmen have benefited from this system. Naturally, there is strong support for the current New Deal system.

As this wave of public opinion brewed, those small and medium-sized businessmen in the north also discovered that the New Deal market had opened a huge loophole for businessmen in the south.

If this loophole is not plugged in time, the interests of the whole will be harmed. Because they were the supplementary capital of the state-owned consortia, the merchants in the south could also play the same role, and the merchants in the south were more shrewd in business and better at the development of light industry.

At this time, the state-owned capital consortium monopolized heavy industry. There is no complete monopoly in light industry, except for a few light industries such as the textile industry, where state-owned capital is involved on a large scale, most of the other light industries are handed over to private businessmen to develop.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Youzheng was leisurely drinking tea while reading various newspapers. Today, the newspapers are dominated by the merchants' calls against the entry of Southern goods into the New Deal market.

Zhu Youxiao looked at it happily, and then didn't say anything at all, pretending not to see it at all.

At this time, the unified market is actually not unified. Because of the difference in currency, there is also the difference in taxes. The intention to build a unified market will eventually be aborted, unless all the southern provinces are included in the New Deal system for reform. However, such a seemingly unified market will greatly promote the subsequent reforms.

Because this opening made a mouth, the merchants of the southern provinces tasted a little sweetness. Zhu Youxiao's intentions were naturally to divide the capital forces in the southern provinces.

The New Deal system is conducive to the development of small and medium-sized businessmen, but it is not conducive to large-capital businessmen. At this time, the Jiangnan region was dominated by big capital businessmen. And in the southern provinces outside the south of the Yangtze River, such as Fujian, Guangdong and other provinces. It is mainly composed of small and medium-sized capital businessmen, and maritime businessmen are of course awesome. However, they relied on the vast number of small and medium-sized merchants in production, and the way to make a fortune was also through sea trade.

At this time, maritime trade became dominated by state-owned capital, monopolizing most of the interests, and the power of those maritime merchants in Fujian and Guangdong was constantly fading.

It also gave small and medium-sized capital businessmen in the south a taste of sweetness, and at the same time gave small and medium-sized businessmen in the New Deal area a sense of crisis, forcing them to take the initiative to support the New Deal reform. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Zhu Youxiao put down the newspaper, then picked up the notes on the table and read them, these are all reports on overseas colonization.

The first note was sent from Alaska, where the Gold Force had already discovered gold and was already in the mining phase. In addition, state-owned capital has also established salmon, otter and fur seal hunting industries in Alaska. Salmon is rich in nutrition, good in taste, and cold-water fish, so since the canned salmon was imported into the Daming market, the sales have gradually increased.

This thing is not worried about not being able to be sold, and the state-owned capital that cannot be sold can be digested internally and can be given as a gift to employees and the like.

The otter and fur seal industry in Alaska has also been established, and according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the state-owned enterprises have made a rough overall plan for Alaska's otter and fur seal resources, and set a limit of 30,000 otters and 10,000 fur seals to be killed each year. With such a share, Alaska's otter and fur seal industry can continue to grow.

Fur seals and otters, salmon and gold, these natural resources are the pillar industries of Alaska, but in order to ensure sustainable development, so when the state-owned enterprises developed Alaska, under the instructions of Zhu Youxiao, they established a quota system.

As for the Indians in Alaska, after the Ming entered Alaska, there were several large-scale clashes with the Ming army, and they were all suppressed. However, Daming's attitude towards these Indians was relatively mild. There was no massacre of the Indians, and there was no forced enslavement of them.

The tribal system of the Indians was still preserved, and they could trade with the Ming Dynasty, and they could also work in the strongholds and ports established by the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not tolerate violent attacks by the Indians, and once they occurred, they were resolutely suppressed. On the one hand, it was resolutely suppressed, and on the other hand, it adopted a policy of gentleness and actively guided these Indians to integrate into the civilization of the Ming Dynasty.

The Indians were not actually a barbaric people, but rather a more nature-loving people. Its civilization has some similarities with the Chinese civilization, such as the Indian language has many same pronunciations and meanings as ancient Chinese, and the core concept of the Indian civilization is somewhat similar to Taoism.

If you blindly oppress a nation like the Indians, they will resist very violently, and they may stab you at any time. But with a policy of gentleness, don't think about squeezing them like crazy, you can actually coexist peacefully. Historically, Americans slaughtered Indians everywhere because Indians were not suitable for slavery, and American capitalists adopted a consistent policy of enslavement for these natives. So in the eyes of the American capitalists, these Jews were useless and simply slaughtered the Indians.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to colonize the Americas, such a massacre was undesirable. The Ming Dynasty is not a European country that has not yet been fully civilized, if such a thing is done, it will be a sin, and second, it will affect its reputation.

After all, the country that claims to be the most civilized, how can it be convincing to make people believe in the future by doing such a thing as a massacre?

The so-called only eternal interests between countries is a phenomenon in the age of capital. Once any problem goes to the extreme, it will be a pitfall, and although there is a talk of interests between countries, if only interests are emphasized, problems will arise. The ancient Chinese set of benevolence and righteousness morality is actually somewhat useful, but it is a pitfall to rely entirely on benevolence, righteousness and morality to carry out diplomacy.

When all countries in the world recognize that the Ming Dynasty is a civilized country and a fair and just country, then other countries will be easy to accept the things exported by the Ming Dynasty, whether it is culture or capital, which is a matter of interest.

If the Ming Dynasty, as a **** country, should not expand and colonize everywhere, it is too much. It's just that on the road of colonial expansion, the Ming Dynasty can't do things so desperately, leaving a three-point bottom line in everything and leaving some way for others to go. In this way, even if colonization is not very civilized, it is much better than what the Europeans did.

As long as you compare the Ming and the Europeans, you can immediately reflect how civilized the Ming is. (To be continued.) )
