At the end of 1353, the republic had stopped trading with the north for the future war, and the republic stopped exporting strategic materials such as steel, weapons, horses, and grain. Raw materials such as coal and iron ore from the north also stopped entering the republican territories due to the severance of foreign trade. At present, the only flourishing foreign trade business activities of the republic are trade with the Huaibei Red Turban Army. There is no way that the railway is in their territory, and Cheng Pan doesn't want to drive this group of people who are about to reach a dead end to do the thing of demolishing the railway.

Now the influence of the Ming Sect is already very weak in the rebel army, and the Red Turban Army's rogue warfare has made this northern force exhausted after two years of rampant operation. Not far from the republic, the farmland in the territory of the republic grows uniformly in the spring, and the fruits are abundant in the autumn. Mingjiao's slogan of burning one's own body to save the world, and then entering the ethereal Elysium, became less and less attractive to the suffering people of Huaibei. Chinese peasants care about the present world, and if the present world is dark and hopeless, then an illusory pie will make Chinese peasants full of hope. This kind of hope is very strong, and it was through this ray of hope that TG gained a large number of determined revolutionaries in the early stage of the revolution, not because TG was brainwashed well, but because the Republic of China had no hope at all. However, this kind of hope is also very fragile, as long as it gives the world a little improvement, this hope will immediately collapse; the fundamental reason for the rebellion of the heretical peasant cult in history is that it did not give the peasants some improvement themselves, but it was the strongmen supported by the landlord class who gave hope to the peaceful world.

Now the hope of peace in the world has not appeared, and it has been realized in the hands of the talents supported by the landlords. Now the forces that are close to the republic have been plundered by the republic with industrial scissors, and a large amount of wealth has been left to the republic, and in order to maintain a strong military power as much as possible, these forces have exported a large amount of grain in exchange for weapons to ensure their survival. Because we have now entered the age of firearms, the cost of war is far greater than that of cold weapons, and those heroes of the world can rely on the Tuntian policy to accumulate power, but this bit of family strength has to be strengthened, if the military strength is not enhanced, this bit of wealth will be snatched away by other forces that enhance military strength.

It has to be said that the landlords are now the strongest obstacle to the development of industrial society, but they are also the highest productive forces of agricultural production, and they have the culture to manage. If you don't rely on them, don't want to be emperor. They are also the smartest group of people, relying on the books and technical knowledge that have been handed down from the republic, to come up with the tactics of platoon gun shooting and artillery shooting, if the traverser does not choose to rely on them but does it alone, the traverser's musket tactics and rifled gun mini bullets and other techniques will soon be cracked by these clever readers. Casting cannons, drilling muskets, platoon training, hydraulic workshops, and tuntian farm systems are not things with technical barriers. There are still a lot of smart people in this world.

But these people, who represent the strongest productivity in agriculture, can only fight in the streets when they encounter the most productive people in industry. The core industrial population of the republic is not more than 100,000 people, these are the people near the original Anshan Industrial Zone in Anhui Province, this group of people was the first to receive Cheng Pan's mathematics, physics and chemistry education, and most of the power of other forces in the republic is now from their hands, and most of them have passed the mathematics, physics and chemistry single subject "college entrance examination" set up by Cheng Pan. The rest are also perennial work in the factory, craftsmanship and technology as a master master level of storage. They were the top productive forces of republican industrialization, and they led a complex industrial system of more than three million literate, primary industrial workers.

Cheng Pan didn't know what an industrial machine tool was before? I thought it was a high-precision machine tool, which could produce the same kind of machine tool and replicate it indefinitely. However, hands-on practice has only revealed that the industrial machine is not a machine tool, but an industrial worker. With highly skilled workers, no matter how sophisticated the machine tools, the precision of these workers can be improved from generation to generation by these workers through simple machine tools. Of course, the more advanced the machine material, the more demanding it is. Materials science is also important. These high-ranking workers were skilled carpenters, but now they changed their materials from wood to steel and became the first generation of high-level craftsmen in the Republic. They are treated much better in the republic than in other powers. The reason is that the newly trained small workers of the Republic can only use these old carpenters to produce high-precision machine tools to do some large-scale production of the first level of precision requirements, and the upgrade of higher-precision machine tools still needs to be done by these old workers. However, now the machine upgrade has reached a bottleneck, because the material is not good, and the steel mill and the chemical laboratory have joined forces to produce higher strength special steel.

It is the republican industrial crowd that has just started, and the explosive productive forces have thrown out of the landlord class a few streets. So now Fang Jiajun can only play with the wilted iron pipe black powder before loading the flint mini bullet. and pig iron cannons. The republican shotguns and steel-rifled cannons were the ones they looked up to. Without an industrial system, they are destined to stop at this technology tree.

Fang Jiajun is a tragedy, there is no coal in Zhejiang. Even if there is a determination to play the Industrial Revolution gate, there is none. The willpower of the Red Turban Army in the north has declined very much, and the blow of the Yuan Army is not the main reason, but the good life of the republican peasants in the south. There are madmen who insist on dying for the sake of the flame, but there are even more people who think of being republican immigrants in the south and farming honestly. Due to the chaotic leadership of the rebel army, the organizational system of Mingjiao has been scattered. Yang Xiao, the leader of the Ming Sect, has also commanded his subordinates who do not hold military power with their hands. In addition to Ming Yuzhen in Sichuan, Mingjiao is still strictly believed, and it has existed in name only in the Central Plains. The disappearance of faith is a direct manifestation of the Red Turban Army's combat effectiveness plummeting, and the army has been defeated repeatedly since the Battle of Anyang. Most of the muskets from the republican trade were owned by the enemy, which further led to the strengthening of the power of the Yuan army in the north.

And Zhang Shicheng, the standard wall-head grass, under the bewitchment of the local gentlemen, seems to think that the Yuan Dynasty is about to prosper, the northern anti-thieves are about to be exterminated, and the republic does not dare to move. After hugging the thighs of the Yuan Dynasty, you can squeeze the Republic and the Fang army to the south to strengthen your strength. Of course, now he doesn't dare to provoke the Republic to help the boss who is about to support him. Zhang Shicheng's forces in Taizhou began to attack the Red Turban Army. Zhu Yuanzhang and other troops who were fighting fiercely with the Shandong Yuan Army on the land of Qilu were stabbed in the back by Zhang Shicheng.

The Yuan army is more and more brave and seems to see the dawn of the flat world, but the news of the expansion of the communist army from the republic made the northern Yuan army nervous, and the Yuan army of Shandong and Polo Timur in Henan have a great contradiction after defeating the Yuan army, but the news of the massive expansion of the communist army came, so that the two pillars of the Yuan Dynasty put the contradiction aside, and the seven princes tried their best to maintain the situation in the court, and at the same time the two Yuan armies were very well enveloped. Therefore, in history, the bloody plot of infighting between the two Yuan armies when they were about to solve the Red Turban Army did not appear. The two Yuan armies invariably stepped up their efforts to attack the Red Turban Army, trying to ensure that the affairs of the family were sorted out before the republic entered the war.

Cheng Pan observed the economic numbers in the republic. It should be noted here that the taxation system of industrial countries is different from that of agricultural countries, and that the tax revenue of agricultural countries basically comes from the grain produced in the land. But food production is spread over vast lands. Therefore, taxation and management of taxation is a big problem, and the state cannot take care of it so widely, so since ancient times, the imperial power has not been under the county, leaving room for power for the local tyrants, and the local county officials of the dynasty can only rely on the cooperation of the local tyrants to manage the localities. But the industrial countries are different, the industrial countries use the industrial products produced by industry to exchange with the agricultural products produced by local farmers, and use the industrial scissors difference to allow industry to obtain the wealth produced by farmers. The industrial zone is often clustered in one place, and as long as the state cares about the industrial zone, it will receive tax from the industrial zone, and in fact, it will also receive tax from agriculture. In this way, it is not necessary to use the administrative power to feed the tax collectors to collect taxes, and the taxes are hidden in the exchange of goods, which can greatly reduce the greasy phenomenon caused by human operation.

At present, all the grain of the agricultural tax levied by the republic at the local level is kept in the localities. This tax on grain in kind is not transported upwards and is subject to constant scrutiny by local councillors. This tax is used to build local public infrastructure, of course, sometimes there is too much food, and this grain tax in kind can be sold to the state, and this account still has to be made public. The republic does not make money in local agriculture, but only maintains a strong control over the local area. The central tax revenue of the republic was basically levied from a few major industrial areas. As for the grain from the central government, it is not directly collected administratively, but is bought and sold commercially. There's less room for administrative officials to get up and down. This kind of use of industrial scissors to levy taxes and focus only on fixed factories has reduced the manpower of the central government to collect grain taxes, leaving the grain tax in the localities and handing it over to local supervision, which has also reduced the pressure on the central government's supervision. As for the local and central grain sales and business, this account is clear, and neither the local seller nor the central buyer wants to suffer losses, and there is a conflict of interest, so it is convenient to check the accounts. This kind of taxation can only be done by the industrial countries, because only industrial products can economically link the areas of central attention with the vast agricultural areas.

Of course, this is a normal situation, but now the republic is not an abnormal situation, in order to expand the army and start the war, the republican central government has used the minting machine, and a large amount of gold and silver have been minted into grain coupons, which flow into the republican market to buy materials from the peasant factories. This is a very dangerous form of economic manipulation. The slightest carelessness can lead to inflation. The republic's gold and silver grain coupons are protected by law in terms of fineness, and of course cannot be adulterated. But even real money can cause inflation, and Cheng Pan knows that the real examples in history are Spain and the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Great Voyage. The money was not used for the Industrial Revolution but was concentrated in the hands of the Spanish elite, who squandered it extravagantly, and the people at the bottom were still struggling. Gold did not spur the Industrial Revolution to create products, the amount of domestic materials remained unchanged, the profligacy of the nobility and clergy, and the rise in prices, the first generation of the empire was defeated by the social problems brought about by gold. The same was true of the Ming Dynasty at the same time, Spain used silver to buy Chinese luxury goods, and a large amount of silver flowed into China, and the price of grain rose in China, just as the Ming Dynasty continued to eat during the Xiaoice River period, and the price of grain rose, reducing the purchasing power of the original Ming Dynasty disaster relief funds even lower. In the end, the Ming Dynasty left a pile of silver, allowing China, a silver-starved country, to retain its silver standard for two hundred years.

Now the republic has cash mines near Taiwan, the Diaoyu Islands, and opened a route to India to exchange silk porcelain for gold. In addition, Cheng Pan has occasionally done a case in the temple of the Yuan Dynasty in recent years. The republic has a lot of gold and silver on hand. The war that was about to arise in the republic was carried out by the republican guò currency to extract the wealth of the country. Fortunately, the current Chinese still have the habit of hoarding wealth. The currency of the republic is real money. The people of the republic have come to really regard this as a collection of wealth, and it is not only the people of the republic themselves who collect the republican metal coupons. Wealthy people in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang are vigorously hoarding this hard currency. This currency system is exquisite, honest in texture, and is a good coin. Southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang unwittingly provided a large amount of food for the future of the republic. Cheng Pan worries that it will be redundant for the time being. In later generations, the US imperialists printed a large amount of paper that was legally linked to oil and plundered the world, which lasted for decades. The Republic now prints money with real money, and the Republic has had the Industrial Revolution to produce a lot of products. Not an agrarian society like Spain and the Ming Dynasty. And the whole of China as a currency market to carry together. Cheng Pan's worries were too much.

Cheng Pan was so worried that he was still in a hurry to start this war, because some actions of the Yuan Dynasty caused Cheng Pan's vigilance, and there was a large iron mine near Beijing, and with the coal mine, the Yuan Dynasty began to make steel. The Yuan Dynasty was frightened by the peasant uprising in the Yellow River a year ago, and now it does not dare to gather a large number of laborers to build steel mills to recruit Mongols. The Mongols were willing to do little, so they had to use the Han people carefully. But in Cheng Pan's eyes, this is a bit out of control, although I don't believe that the Yuan Dynasty can complete the industrial revolution, but it is not ruled out that the Yuan Dynasty will make some powerful weapons, so that the future republic will shed too much blood, you must know that the total Chinese population is now only more than 60 million, the republic is now only 14 million people, too many people have died, especially too many literate soldiers, Cheng Pan is distressed. It is more reassuring to extinguish this possibility as soon as possible, Cheng Pan. And as far as Cheng Pan knows, the power of faith he needs to leave this world is also a population, and Cheng Pan doesn't want to wait for people to come from to leave this world.

It is much easier to use finance to gather wealth than to use administration to gather power, as early as the entrepreneurial period, there are crises on all sides. Cheng Pan played the slogan of survival, and the war was unanimously responded to by the whole territory, but now the republic is already the strongest force. When the people develop a sense of security, it is impossible to fight for the country unconditionally. There are too few pure patriots, and Cheng Pan is unwilling to use faith to forcibly restrain the citizens of a country. Using the country's economic levers to move the people is a lesson that Cheng Pan must learn.
