Chapter 233: Rebellion and Expansion (2-in-1)

The discovery of the jade fruit changed the strength pattern of the Huaxia Alliance in one fell swoop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Shang Weiyang thought that the Emerald Fruit would only be useful for Refining Essence Realm cultivators at most, and Refining Dirty Realm cultivators might improve their cultivation, but not too much.

But who knows, even if it is a cultivator of the Dirty Realm, the effect after taking the jade fruit is still significant.

After the twenty jade fruits were divided, the direct result was that the Huaxia Alliance had four more Transformation God Realm powerhouses in one fell swoop.

Three of them are the powerhouses of the Iron Horse Gate, and one is Shang Zuo, who controls the Sword of the First Emperor.

The high-end combat power of the Huaxia Alliance has increased several times in one fell swoop, and even Shang Zuo can use the First Emperor Sword to defeat one against three.

Such a huge improvement made Shang Weiyang treasure the remaining jade fruit as a treasure.

The huge increase in the strength of the Huaxia Alliance also means a change in its foreign strategy.

The first was the great aid to the emerging capitalist classes in the kingdoms, in the form of technology and loans.

Not only steam engines and other technologies are released free of charge, but there is also technical support such as bridge design and railroad laying.

In terms of loans, it is a policy of providing a large amount of money and ultra-low interest for infrastructure construction.

Of course, the new classes of various countries welcomed Shang Weiyang's assistance with raised hands, and the royal families of various countries saw that these new classes built the country for free and built bridges and paved roads.

And the business tax is increasing every month, although I don't understand what the hell the Huaxia Alliance is doing, but I am still happy and simply don't ask.

However, the situation of South Korea among the neighboring countries is somewhat peculiar, and it has now come to the brink of civil strife.

The reason why South Korea is in the current situation is not unrelated to Wang Sade's greed.

Originally, after the Sino-Korean War, almost all the men in South Korea were almost wiped out, and the more than 3 million laborers who suddenly returned should have been lightly forced and reduced in taxes.

However, after Wang Sade came to power, he wanted to revive Korea and began to levy taxes on a large scale, and 90% of the property obtained by the people was expropriated.

It was used for the construction of its royal palace and the construction of the new army in the southern part of the Han River.

Here I want to say that Wang Sade was frightened by Shang Weiyang's troops, and he no longer dared to set the capital in the original royal city.

Therefore, the new royal city was designed in the Jiangnan area, which is blocked by the Han River moat.

After the capital, Wang Sade did not want to recuperate and work hard, but thought that with the support of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he did not offend the Huaxia Alliance in the future, he could live the free life of Park Zhengyu in the past.

Therefore, for the things of the mine and the people of the Huaxia Alliance, Wang Sade must not be offended if he can, but for the people of his own country, it is crazy exploitation and oppression.

The Korean gentry, who were interested in building new factories, were charged a heavy tax of 50 percent, and the products they produced were not competitive at all because of the high cost.

So the factory owners began to exploit the working class, working 36 hours in two days, and the monthly salary was only 300 gold coins, which is equivalent to only 30 yuan.

This barely kept the factory's livelihood.

It was not enough for Wang Sadd to exploit the gentry and factory owners, and he also followed the example of Shang Weiyang to collect personal income tax.

And the range of taxes collected is the same as that of the Chinese Alliance, and all three percent of the income is levied.

You must know that in the Huaxia Alliance, the people's income is very high, basically the per capita monthly salary is as high as 2,000 yuan, which is more than 20,000 yuan when converted into gold coins.

Even if 3 percent is levied, it is only 60 yuan, which is just a good meal for the Chinese people.

The income of the Korean people is only 300 gold coins, although it has increased more than 10 times compared with the previous farming, but over the years, with the commercial impact of the Huaxia Alliance, the price has become more and more expensive, and every cent of the 300 gold coins needs to be carefully calculated to barely survive.

Even so, most people are still in a state of not having enough to eat, and a tax of 3 percent is often a day or two of starvation.

Under these circumstances, the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) rose rapidly under the leadership of Kim Yang-sung and with the secret funding of the Huaxia Alliance.

The first working-class organization on the Tianjing continent, the Korean National Workers' Union, was established.

The establishment of the trade union has greatly boosted Jin Yangcheng's morale, and the main body of the trade union is still more than 3 million workers who have returned from Huaxia City.

These people are not only laborers, but under the training of the Huaxia Alliance, most of them are already Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

More than three million monks made a fuss, which was a very troublesome matter.

At first, Kim just called on the workers to unite and strike to improve wages and rest time.

However, in the face of such demands, the factory owners were powerless to refute Wang Sade, and could not have suppressed the ordinary workers?

So the initial violent repression began, and the resistance of the workers was also extremely fierce, and the burning of factories and the killing of factory owners occurred repeatedly.

Only then did the factory owners realize that these laborers were no longer those clay-legged mortals who could be oppressed, but cultivators with cultivation.

So the factory owners began to negotiate with the union to complain, and it was all caused by Wang Sade's ultra-high taxes.

He also expressed his willingness to stand with the trade union, like Wang Sade, to petition for the improvement of workers' treatment and reduce the burden on factories.

Jin Yangcheng thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth, the factory can only improve the treatment of workers by reducing the tax burden, and if the treatment of workers is forcibly improved, resulting in the bankruptcy of the factory, everyone will be done with the game, the factory will go bankrupt, the workers will be unemployed, and the grief will be everywhere.

You must know that even farming is now mechanized planting, and there is no need for so many farmers.

So the main gate of the factory began to contribute, and Jin Yangcheng organized workers to come in and protest, demanding tax cuts and better treatment of workers.

Angry at the workers' march and the factory owners' blatant rebellion against him, Wang Sade immediately sent troops to suppress it, and slaughtered the trade union leaders and seized the factory.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in South Korea, and the number of unemployed vagrants in various cities increased rapidly, and the overall law and order in South Korea plummeted.

There were even desperate workers who began to form robbers to rob passing merchants. What's more, they went to the mines controlled by the Huaxia Alliance to secretly disassemble engineering equipment and sell scrap iron to make money.

This situation has seriously affected the interests of the Huaxia Alliance in South Korea. So Shang Weiyang began to pay for weapons to form a defense force.

After all, he had just finished the Sino-Korean War, and it was difficult for his own soldiers to come forward, and Shang Weiyang intended to support the local forces in South Korea.

Thus was born the New Army of Korea, and a new organization headed by the Workers' Party of Korea was formed.

The Workers' Party of Korea is actually a trade union that has been broken up, and when the Chinese Alliance provides money and weapons, its leader, Kim Yang-sung, ascends to the top and shouts - Rebellion!

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the new army is not comparable to Wang Sade's old army, not to mention that he also stationed all the elite Faxiu troops in the army in Jiangnan.

With the help of new weapons and the Chinese Alliance, the Workers' Party of Korea quickly seized the entire territory north of the Han River.

and the People's Republic of Korea was formed, and the government of the Workers' Party of Korea was formed. Start legislating taxes and forming a standing army!

For this situation, fools can see that there is a Chinese alliance in it, and Wang Sade has no choice but to find the Tang Dynasty and Shinto to intervene in this matter.

However, the first proclamation after the establishment of the Korean People's Government was to recognize the legitimate interests of Shintoism, the Tang Dynasty, and the Huaxia Alliance in Korea.

In the Tang Dynasty, Shinto only cares about its own interests and who is in power, and the public security under the governance of the Korean people's government is better, which is more in line with the interests of everyone, and it is obvious that the Korean people's government is supported by the Huaxia Alliance, or it is not moving.

In the end, the Tang Dynasty and Shinto simply condemned it and then stopped it, while the statement of the Huaxia Alliance was supposed to call on all parties to exercise restraint and negotiate a solution.

With the help of Emerald Fruit, the overall strength of the Huaxia Alliance has been frantically improved, and the Huaxia Alliance has directly and publicly recognized the legal status of the Korean People's Government in the north.

They also began to set up embassies to each other, send diplomatic ambassadors, and even signed a series of cooperation terms in a short period of time.

This series of actions made everyone unclear, what the Huaxia Alliance was going to do, were they crazy?

――――――――――――

In fact, Shang Weiyang is not crazy, but after his strength is improved, some strategies that could not be implemented before will inevitably be implemented.

Although the Huaxia Alliance is now transitioning to the era of electrification, there are still many backward production capacity and a large amount of capital that has nowhere to be released.

The five major cities of China themselves are limited in scale, and in fact they are only the size and population of a province in the previous life of Shang Weiyang.

In recent years, through technological revolution and social change, the initial dilemma of lack of money has been overcome.

With the rise of the industrial revolution in various countries, the Chinese Alliance, which provides technical support and machinery sales, can be said to have made a lot of money.

Taking Yan as an example, its imports from the Huaxia Alliance include almost everything from heavy industry to light industry.

Small as soap, laundry detergent, cloth, instant noodles. From stone crushers, excavators, oil refining equipment, locomotives and more.

It can be said that the entire Yan country has developed to a complete modernization through the oil trade.

The infrastructure construction is second only to the Huaxia Alliance in the entire Tianjing Continent, and even the currency used has begun to transition from gold coins to RMB.

The richness of the Yan Kingdom has even surpassed the Huaxia Alliance in some aspects.

The output of the latest cars produced by Huaxia Automobile Factory in the past six months this year has reached an astonishing 50,000 units, and half of them were bought by Yan Guoren.

There is no way that Yan Guo is too rich now, according to Shang Weiyang, this is the big dog on the Tianjing Continent, a local tyrant country!

Even the Tianyan Sect's Tianjing reserves have been continuously improved, and it has also begun to recruit disciples in the Yan Kingdom.

Of course, not all countries welcomed the Huaxia Alliance as much as Yan and Tianyan Sect did.

However, Shang Weiyang still secretly supported the capitalist class of Xie countries, digested the backward production capacity in the alliance, and carried out capital expansion.

In fact, Shang Weiyang didn't want to expand so quickly, but the Huaxia Alliance, which is in the stage of economic transformation, will have very serious consequences if it does not do so.

The first is that the old factory owners, represented by the original steam engine, did not have the motivation to upgrade to the electric age.

The new chamber of commerce, led by the Huawei Chamber of Commerce, is not enough to support the entire industrial base.

In the end, electricity cannot maintain costs, and the steam engine may be eliminated overnight at any time, and the entire Huaxia Alliance does not have any buffer period for economic hard transformation.

A large number of old-fashioned factories and chambers of commerce have closed down, workers have lost their jobs, and the new chambers of commerce and state-owned enterprises have not been able to absorb so many unemployed workers.

further caused social turmoil, although these things were able to be solved by the Huaxia Alliance over time, but Shang Weiyang did not want to bear the pain of such a transformation, so the Huaxia Alliance's approach was to fool.

Let other countries bear the pain of the Huaxia Alliance, not only can they make a lot of money, but they can also support a class that is beneficial to themselves, why not?

But to be honest, such a strategy can't be put on the table after all, and can only be carried out secretly.

Even in the early days of funding the Korean People's Government in the North, it was carried out under the banner of security.

As for loans and technical assistance from other countries, it is entirely in the name of business.

When the strength of the Chinese Alliance was improved, the legal status of the first government was quickly recognized, and all countries began to examine the investment of the Chinese Alliance in their own countries, and they were afraid that a trade union and a people's government would come out in their own countries.

However, the final investigation found that most of the Huaxia Alliance's investments in countries were for commercial purposes, and most of the investors were princes and nobles in their countries.

However, there is still a small part of the investment in the civilians, such as the construction chambers of commerce in various countries, which have a strong shadow of the Chinese Alliance in the early days of their establishment.

Many of the workers in these chambers of commerce had gone to work in the Huaxia Alliance, and many of them had joined the Workers' Party.

This is too similar to the first government of **, so countries have introduced laws to reduce commercial taxes, and legislation to protect the interests of workers, but strictly prohibit the formation of trade unions.

After all, all kings don't want the tragedy of King Sade to be staged on their own bodies.

The capitalists certainly welcome the tax cuts, but they turn a deaf ear to the protection of workers' rights and interests.

Farmers who wanted to work in factories lined up to get in, and it would be strange if the factory owners would hire workers according to the law.

After all, with the use of agricultural machinery, landlords no longer need so many tenants.

The landless peasants would starve to death if they did not enter the factories. So while various countries have laws to protect workers, almost no one has them.

Therefore, after some self-examination and the promulgation of new laws, various countries all think that what happened in Korea will not happen to them again.

However, they didn't know that the princes and nobles, gentry and landlords who were originally of the same class as them were already the opposite of the royal power, and of course they were deceived and deceited.

The small and medium-sized sect class that controls the monks has become more dependent on the royal class because of the loss of monks.

Saying so much is actually a truth, the flickering routine of the Huaxia Alliance is definitely not something that the monarchs of various kingdoms can think of at this stage.

Even with the example of South Korea, Shang Weiyang has a hundred routines to subvert it.

The reason why it has not been subverted now is not that the monarchs Wen Taowu has managed well, but that the time is not yet ripe for the Huaxia Alliance.

When the transformation of the Huaxia Alliance was completed, the exploration of the military relics of the Three-Eyed Clan was created, and the second five-year plan was successfully completed, it was time for the Huaxia Alliance to expand in full force.
