Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1992: Meat rotted in the pot

According to the information collected by Hantong.

It is mainly divided into two categories. One is the upper class represented by the local gentry, merchants, and nobles. They are extremely eager to set up factories in the local area to earn more profits. However, it is absolutely impossible for the empire to let go of this.

The second category is ordinary people, and more than 90% of the population of overseas immigrants are agricultural immigrants. What are their demands? One is whether the grain can be sold at a higher price, and the second is whether it can be cultivated with advanced machinery and equipment.

The sale of this grain also involves transportation problems. In some places where inland rivers cannot be navigable, if there is no railway, the cost of transporting only by horse and cart is very high, which leads to high costs and great losses to the interests of local farmers.

As for farming, although horse farming can generally save a lot of manpower, it is still not enough. In many places, because the price of food is very low, many immigrant families need to plant hundreds of acres or even two or three hundred acres of land to keep a family alive. relatively good life.

Even with hundreds of acres of land, horse farming can't support it.

The only thing that can hold up is that the empire has been used for many years, especially the steam tractors that are used on a large scale in some sparsely populated areas, and the use of machinery to farm fields, which can allow a family of several people to plant hundreds of acres of land. Can't plant.

Therefore, their demand for the introduction of local agricultural machinery and equipment is very strong.

In response to the different demands of these two groups, at the imperial cabinet meeting, one vote of the imperial ministers maintained one opinion, that is 'differentiation'.

In particular, a large number of farmers in overseas territories must be divided and won.

They need agricultural machinery and equipment, they need more convenient transportation, and higher prices for grain. In this regard, some cabinet members believe that there is a limit to agreeing to these conditions.

For example, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises will directly organize an agricultural machinery sales enterprise to sell and manage these agricultural machinery and equipment in overseas territories to meet the needs of local farmers.

In terms of transportation, some cabinet members also relaxed their attitudes, thinking that it is not impossible to build railways.

The cabinet members relaxed their attitude, mainly after communicating with the military. The military believes that as long as the factories are restricted, then the simple railway is even beneficial to the military, because once there is a mutiny in the overseas territories, the empire can quickly mobilize through the navy Troops were transported in the past, and at the same time moved quickly through the local railway system, striving to put out the mutiny in the shortest time possible.

If you want to control industrial development, you can only build railways, and technical tasks such as the repair of locomotives can be placed in local military bases.

Anyway, many overseas military bases now have repair shops.

For example, Jiangnan Port in North America, the largest port in North America has a naval base, and this naval base has a repair shop directly under the Navy, as well as a repair shop directly operated by the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the former is used to maintain and repair naval warships , which repaired local civilian steam ships.

It is completely possible to follow the example of ship repair services and set up repair shops of several enterprises directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises in local military bases to provide after-sales repair services.

As for local businessmen wanting to directly set up factories, it is impossible.

At the same time, it is also appropriate to relax the export of some industrial products, especially industrial products designed to people's livelihood.

After all, what people say is right. We are also from the Tang Dynasty. We can't treat me as an aborigines just because I immigrated to North America.

In addition to ordinary people, the interests of the local upper class are more difficult to reconcile. What they want has always been simple and pure, that is, they hope to build factories in the local area and use local resources to produce various products nearby to make profits.

But this is difficult for the Empire to accept.

The limited opening of various repair shops that provide repair services in overseas military bases is already the limit of the empire's high-level promises.

In this regard, the high level of the empire has prepared a policy of differentiation. After all, the interests of these people are plainly for the sake of money. As long as they can make money, they will not care whether they build factories or not.

To this end, after discussions in the Cabinet, it is believed that various measures can be taken to further reduce shipping costs and expand the total domestic imports from various overseas territories, especially to further expand various types of cash crops, specialty resources, and agricultural products, such as grain and coffee. , wood, bird droppings, handmade products and other commodities import quota.

If the local upper class wants to make money, it does not have to build factories. You can be a large-scale farmer or a trader or something.

There are so many businesses that can be done, why do you have to deal with the manufacturing industry!

But even so, some people will be dissatisfied, especially the kings from all over the world!

Today, the feudal lords all over the world probably dream that their territories can be localized!

In this regard, some high-level officials of the empire have already begun to say that the vassal kings of various places are of the blood of the emperor, and it is really unbearable to live abroad all year round.

The territory is still given, and the territorial salary continues to be held, and even the palace guards continue to be attached, but the vassal king had to return to the capital to live.

If this statement was made more than ten years ago, it is estimated that a large number of feudal kings would be tired of tears of joy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Finally, they don't have to endure in the wild overseas, and finally they can return to the mainland.

but now!

It is estimated that the kings of various places are unwilling and dare not return.

Casually doubling the long history of China for thousands of years, you can find many records of cutting down the clan.

The statements of these ministers are clearly meant to cut down the clan!

Of course, the most important thing is that the Son of Heaven disagrees!

Li Xuan expected this situation more than ten years ago, but he still did it at the time!

The overseas division of feudal lords is a policy that Li Xuan has long established.

Because even if there is no vassal king, those overseas territories that should rebel will still rebel. This is an inevitable law of historical development. No matter what the Datang Empire does, it is impossible to avoid this situation.

Since mutiny is inevitable, it is better to let the local vassal lead the rebellion!

After all, he is also a member of the royal family, so fat water doesn't flow to outsiders!

If the Datang Empire will be divided into several or even a dozen countries in the future, but the people in these countries are all from the Tang Dynasty, and the local emperors or kings are all members of the Li royal family. Li Xuan thinks it is not a bad thing. !

After all, no matter how much tossing, the meat will rot in the pot!

However, this is just Li Xuan's own idea!

In the huge Tang Empire, not everyone has the same thoughts as him. It can even be said that within the entire empire, there are not many people who have similar thoughts to him.

The prince wants to cut the vassal and maintain the system of the Tang Dynasty's global empire. What those vassal kings want is not to be partial to one side, but to return to their homeland to fight for the throne!

The concept of great unity is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

And this is the real crisis of the Datang Empire in the next decades or even a hundred years!
