Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1410 The Last Step of the Yellow River Problem ([-])

This is not to say that Liu Yu, who formulated the immigration plan, did not trust the self-cultivated farmers who migrated, or the people who were originally poor and lower peasants in Dashun.

But the reality is like this, and it cannot be solved by preaching.

The chronic disease of colonizing colonies, the difference between the two types of private ownership, the reality that the second type of private ownership must be based on the elimination of the first type of private ownership, the self-cultivator's own resistance to capital, the necessity that capital must come from the mother country, and the separation of the distant ocean... ... and so on, all of these make the centripetal force temporarily rely on those who first integrate into the world trade cycle in the process of immigration.

For the understanding of capital, as long as you understand that capital is a social relationship between people with objects as the medium, then you should understand that the key is people.

Without people, there would be no capitalism.

Especially those who have no means of production, who are separated from the land, and who can only rely on selling labor for monetary rewards.It doesn't mean that rubbing two feet of cloth in exchange for food is called capitalism.

The resistance of small producers to the capitalist model, the huge conflict between private ownership of small producers and capitalist private ownership... In the case of the west coast of North America, capital can only come from the home country.After all, there are neither handicraft Huguenots nor Iberian Jews with strong capital in Dashun, so it is always necessary to pinpoint this centripetal point.

The separation of the thirteen states in North America stems from the fact that they no longer need the home country, or that the market in the home country is no longer sufficient to accommodate the growing productivity of the thirteen states.They need the entire European market to accommodate the plantation, timber, shipbuilding and other industries they developed under the British protectionist policy.

And this is precisely another key to the heart of the neo-conservatives supported by Dashun here, or the first rich generation with a bit of a "Junker" flavor-the market on the east coast needs the help of the mother country to get it. .In the history of East Coast Separation, among those who signed the declaration, there were a bunch of wine sellers and sugar growers.

As for what to do in the future, that is in the future. Waiting for the railway crossing the mountain pass to be repaired after many years, waiting for the route across the Pacific Ocean to no longer look at the face of God, the people will create history, but history is not created at will after all. Rather, it creates under the conditions directly encountered, given, inherited from the past.

Everything that Dashun is doing now, in the eyes of Liu Yu, who has the quality of "can't be cured, wait for death, and leave" for Dashun, is just for the future to have a "inherited from the past". condition of coming down”, that is, inheritance.

Now, these pioneers in Xinyizhou on the west coast are actually trying to accumulate inheritance for future generations based on the instinct of reproduction and the foundation of private ownership.

Just like Brother Wang Long, who is arranging long-term employment at that time, his motivation for being busy now has nothing to do with Dashun's strategy in terms of consciousness: if he is aware of all this and is willing to pay for it, then in the beginning When crossing the mountain pass, there will be no camp changes.

So in fact, his motivation to be busy at this time is no different from those Southern Europeans who sailed to Asia to get rich, and those Cossacks who went across Siberia to chase sables to get rich.

For myself and for my children, I have accumulated enough inheritance for them.

Indeed, Dashun's policy here, if you just want to be a self-cultivator, you don't have to work so hard.But now he is no longer a self-cultivator, so he gradually understands the role of assets, and because of Dashun's state-owned land policy, he has to reverse the idea of ​​"buying land and hoarding it for his descendants".

He had to think about leaving assets other than land for his children, in short, investing in industries and commerce other than land; or in other words, accumulating capital for investment in industry and commerce other than land for his children, and buying properties when they got married.

There are so many in this industry.

It may be a new winery, it may be a mill, it may be a shipbuilding timber processing plant, an oil mill, etc., this is considered an industry.

Especially here where the owner farmers are the mainstay, a mill, an oil mill, and a board factory can all be regarded as one of the best families in the village immediately.

Alcohol is only the early pillar industry developed here, but it does not mean that there are no other industries besides alcohol.

The potato harvest on their cooperative farm is good this year, and it looks like another bumper year for potatoes.

The better news is that France has sent people again, hoping to expand the volume of alcohol trading next year.This is indeed good news, because it means that they can purchase potatoes from the surrounding villages, thereby expanding the scale of the brewery.

This, of course, also means that he can share more profits every year, or get more surplus value.The goal of setting up marriage property for the children, such as the goal of one son, one mill and one oil mill in addition to inheriting the sons here, is getting closer.

The people who came to buy wine, of course, were French.

The people of Dashun in Xinyizhou no longer looked at those ghosts they thought they looked like in the "first contact incident".

And the French who came to Xinshaocheng and Xintaicheng this time, of course, came to talk about increasing the amount of alcohol next year.But this is not the only purpose. In addition, there are celebrations after the border between China and France has been demarcated for more than five years, county-to-county negotiations, and more issues about trade, borders, and land. exchange.

The Fusang Governor's Mansion on Dashun's side is located in Fenglin Bay.The gold mines in San Francisco have been mined, but the Dudufu is not in Jinshan.

The Governor of Xinyizhou outside the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was naturally located in Xintai City.

The speaker of the visiting group on the French side is the member of the Brotherhood who was killed by the assassin who rebelled to the Templars in the story of the later game, Virendry.In history, he died in the sinking accident of the Augustus in which the British "sent away" all the people who knew North America best in France.

Now, as one of the powerful French in North America, he is not only the director of the French North American fur and ginseng trading company, but also the military and political chief of several French guards in the west as in history.After all, since his father's time, he has been going further west, looking for the Sunset Sea and Sunset Bay, and he is more familiar with the situation here.

Riding on the horse, Virendry looked at the city of Dashun in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh how time flies.

"It has been six or seven years since I met those Chinese explorers. Can you imagine? In six or seven years, there have been castles and cultivated land here, and they can provide a constant supply of potato wine."

Followed by his adjutant and translator, a Chinese who came to North America a long time ago.

That was when Liu Yu was involved in the ginseng trade with France, and they were sent here. Many years later, this man has been baptized, believed in God, and can speak fluent French, and became the adjutant of Villandry , not only won the rank of lieutenant, but even because of his "outstanding contribution" to the royal family in the ginseng trade, he also won a St. Louis Medal, not even the St. Louis Military Medal that could only be awarded to Protestant members.

This translator, or adjutant, has read books.Not only has he read books, but he was also a petty official in Dashun back then.The reason why he was thrown here in the first place was naturally because he was caught in the smuggling trade issue with North Korea, as well as some disgraceful acts such as bribery and extortion on the issue of North Korean border residents crossing the border to collect ginseng.

Since he has read the book, he naturally understands the culture of Dashun.

So he told Villendry about the subsequent Three Kingdoms stories triggered by the word "Yizhou" when Sima Cuo built the Taifu City, Zhang Yi built the Shaofu City.

"Nowadays in North America, if Spain is not counted, it can be regarded as a tripartite confrontation. France is sandwiched among them, Dashun is in the west, and the British are in the east. Its power is like the Wu-Shu alliance. But it is different. France is the weakest, and it is in the In the lower reaches of the river, war, peace, and alliances are all in Dashun's hands."

"You look at Xintaifu City, which is the county system here, and it is at the intersection of two rivers. Shaofu City is north of the Bow River. The two are horns of each other, and their momentum has been established."

"Although we are an alliance now, but in the future, it is really a man for a knife, and I for a fish. I have thought that as long as the court wants to immigrate, there are very few people in the court who can do things. It's a surprise."

These words are not instigating, but are actually for the sake of France.Villandry looked at the simple city defense in the distance, shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not something I want to worry about."

"In fact, when my father and brothers and I set out on a journey to find the Sunset Sea, the Indian tribes here could speak Spanish."

"You may not know that more than 40 years ago, the Spaniards sent an expedition to try to attack us. But their expedition was defeated by us."

"After that battle, the Spaniards completely retreated to the south, and the entire Great Plains area was in the hands of France. In terms of size, it is about 200 million square miles."

"Do you know the scale of the famous Vilasur expedition that determined where this place belongs?"

"We killed a total of 36 Spaniards, and only four escaped back. That is to say, Lieutenant General Villasur brought a total of forty people."

Villendry raised his whip, pointed to the two sister cities of Xinyizhou in the distance, and asked, "How many people do you think can be organized here? Is it the size of several Villasul expeditions?"

"The border demarcation was only completed this year. When the war just ended, Dashun did not choose to demarcate the border with longitude lines, but to formally demarcate the border with rivers and watersheds after the survey."

"Now I understand that the longer the delay, the more people here, the greater our concessions when we draw the line. Even if I understand now, I don't think there should be any hostility. Perhaps, as you said before , They regard us as the dragon and tiger generals here, and they call us to 'defend the border', because the real threat is the millions of people in the thirteen states."

"But it doesn't matter. What matters is that it's in our best interest. I hope you can let go of your personal hostility, even if you're an exile."

"You have to understand that for a huge empire with a population of more than 3 million people, the temptation of arable land is huge. And for France... if there is no ginseng and mink trade, the value of the whole of North America is also less than It’s just a Guadeloupe. Of course I know that it will belong to them in the future because there are so many people.”

"But I also know that I, or the whole French fur and ginseng franchise company, hates the French settlers coming to North America. Land reclamation and fur trade are in conflict."

This is the truth, and it is also from the heart.Since Liu Yu and France started to trade in ginseng and mink fur, France has formed a powerful group in North America, and their interests have also made them refuse or even hate France's land reclamation here.

Of course, he hated both his own people coming here to reclaim wasteland, and he also hated the frontier people in the thirteen states, especially the frontier people in the Appalachian Mountains.

He came this time not only to discuss issues such as trade, alcohol, fur cuttings, and the "sovereignty" of the Indians' migrating tribes, but also to hope that Dashun would send some people, and the two countries would work together to patrol the border— The Spaniards abandoned the north after the failure of the original Villasur expedition. The current policy is to "invite" the Catholics of Dashun to enrich the Mississippi River, and let them be the children of the six Spanish counties on the frontier to prevent the Protestants from going south .They can't get involved in the fur trade, so they have no interest in this matter, and they don't like Dashun's official personnel to show up in the "Oriental Catholic Immigration Area".
