The primitive accumulation process of capitalism is the process of conquest, enslavement, plunder, and killing. The new bourgeoisie and the new feudal aristocracy, in order to raise more capital for the development of capitalist industry, resorted to coercion and violence, and wantonly raided the working people in the country; the bloody plundering of the colonies; You don't even need any reason to start a commercial war. This is also why the later Marx said that capital came to the world, from head to toe, every pore dripping with blood and filth!

Zhao Yan stands on the shoulders of history, he understands better than anyone the horror of the monster of capital, but there are two sides to everything, and the development of capital is also the general trend of human society, so after Zhao Yan came to the Great Song Dynasty, he has been promoting the development of history intentionally or unintentionally, so that the monster of capital was finally released in advance.

For the development of capitalism, Zhao Yan once listed Zhao Xu as a separate course and spent a lot of time teaching him, so when Zhao Xu heard Zhao Yan mention the monster of capital, he immediately understood, and said with a solemn expression at the moment: "Third uncle, do you mean that we can only satisfy our own economic development through foreign wars?" ”

"Yes, the accumulation of capital is very bloody, over the years I have been paying attention to improving the living standards of the domestic people, as much as possible to reduce the exploitation of capital on the domestic people, but in this way, it will definitely affect the accumulation of capital, but it is not impossible to solve this problem, for example, the reason why our Great Song Dynasty has developed so rapidly in recent years is mainly by plundering various foreign resources, such as the population of Nanyang, grain, minerals, the population of Goryeo, etc., are the objects of our Great Song plunder, This also ensures the rapid development of our Great Song Dynasty, but now these alone can no longer meet our development speed, so we must open up new land and resources. Europe and the Western Regions are all good targets. Zhao Yan said coldly at this time.

Zhao Yan is a Song person, so he is naturally unwilling to add this kind of suffering to his own people's identity, but if it is passed on to other nations and countries, he does not have any psychological obstacles, after all, this world is originally the law of the jungle, and the reason why China in later generations suffered a lot. It's not because the strength is too weak, so I can't complain about others.

Zhao Xu heard that his third uncle not only regarded the Western Regions as the next target of the Great Song Dynasty, but even distant Europe was in his plan, which made him also startled, he thought that the reason why his third uncle wanted to control Europe was simply to expand the influence of the Great Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep meaning.

Thinking of the above, Zhao Xu finally nodded, and said with a fierce face: "Third Uncle, I understand your hard work. I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally I only need to be responsible for the people of our Great Song Dynasty, as for the life and death of the people of other countries, what does it matter to me? ”

"Yes, for the emperor, sometimes when you should be ruthless, you must never hesitate, Confucianism has always advocated the outer king and the inner sage, but the emperors of the past and present, but the vast majority of the emperors are the outer sage and the inner king. But I believe that Xu'er, you can definitely create an era of outer kings and inner saints! When Zhao Yan said this, he couldn't help but reach out and pat Zhao Xu's shoulder. His expectations for Zhao Xu are also extremely high, after all, Zhao Xu is a student he carefully trained, and to some extent, Zhao Yan's expectations for Zhao Xu are higher than his own son Zhao Jia.

"Thank you for the third uncle's awakening, I will understand which way I should go in the future!" Zhao Xu also said with a firm face at this time, and Zhao Yan's words made him see the situation facing the Great Song Dynasty clearly. This will have a huge impact on his future governance.

After chatting about political affairs, Zhao Xu suddenly thought of Zhao Jia, and immediately asked: "Third uncle, the eldest brother has been gone for so long, do you say that they have gone to Europe now?" ”

"Probably not yet. If all goes well, they should have bypassed Africa and entered the Atlantic, but they are still some way from Europe. Zhao Yan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then replied, he has also been paying attention to the news from Zhao Jia's side during this time, but because of the long distance, the latest news from Niutougang said that Zhao Jia left the port, and there has been no news since then.

"Big brother has been gone for months, so by the time he arrives in Europe, it will take almost a year!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, because Zhao Jia was one of the few people who could talk to him on an equal footing, and now Zhao Jia ran so far all at once, and he didn't know when he would come back, which made him miss it very much.

"This is also a helpless thing, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is too far to Europe, unless the Suez Canal can be opened as soon as possible, but it can greatly shorten the distance between the two sides." Zhao Yan also sighed at this time, but then he thought of one more thing, and spoke again, "But this time your eldest brother is lucky, when he was in Niutou Port, he actually met a Song man who had been to Europe, the other party is very familiar with the terrain of the west side of Africa and Europe, and has marked some locations where a port can be built, and when this port is built in the future, then our steamship can go directly to Europe, and at the speed of a steamship, it will be much easier to go to Europe in the future." ”

"But the construction of the port is not a day or two can be built, and the cost is not small, I think the Suez Canal is more cost-effective, although digging a canal is also a long construction period, but after digging can be reduced to nearly one-third of the distance, in addition to convenient supplies, if you use a steam ship, I am afraid that you can reach Europe in half a month at most." Zhao Xu also expressed his opinion at this time.

"If the Suez Canal is opened, it will naturally be the best, but unfortunately the influence of our Great Song Dynasty has not been able to reach there, and the Fatimid Dynasty is also ruled by soldiers, and the country is also in chaos, I am afraid that even if we want to cooperate with them to develop the Suez Canal, it will be difficult to get any guarantee." Zhao Yan also sighed at this time, originally he still wanted to cooperate with the Fatimid Dynasty to develop the canal, but after inquiring, he learned that this dynasty was in chaos internally, and there was no credit, if the Great Song Dynasty cooperated with such a country, I am afraid that even if the canal could be built, in the end, the Great Song Dynasty would not want to take advantage, after all, the canal was on other people's land.

"It's not impossible, although the Fatimid Dynasty is far away from our Great Song Dynasty, it is not far from the Holy Roman Empire, if the eldest brother controls the Holy Roman Empire, he can wave his troops to fight there, and it will be much easier to build a canal." Zhao Xu suddenly proposed at this time.

"This is a good solution, but I don't know if Jia'er and they can reach Europe smoothly?" When Zhao Yan said this, his eyes also looked at the far west, and there was a worried look in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
