After Being Hit By A Car At The Beginning, Iron Man Became An Adopted Brother
Chapter 251 Sea Ban (Today’S Chapter)
The development of martial arts schools not only has advantages, but also disadvantages. Opponents criticize the disadvantages of martial arts schools, and they are absolutely right.
But even if you choke when eating, you will choke on drinking water. You can't stop eating or drinking just because you are worried about choking or choking, otherwise you will die.
Therefore, students in martial arts schools will definitely use their advanced martial arts knowledge to break the law and commit crimes, but this is just an example. As long as more warriors can have the opportunity to make money legally, the number of illegal crimes will naturally decrease.
Definitely if there are fewer opportunities to make money legally, it will definitely bring a lot of chaos.
It is useless for Shi Qiang to go out in person to debate with the opponents. After all, the shortcomings will not disappear, but will only be suppressed. Once the ability to make money is weakened, the shortcomings will be magnified.
Disadvantages and advantages are like a seesaw, existing at the same time, one ebbing and the other ebbing.
Therefore, Shi Qiang has no way to convince everyone, he can only try his best to let the martial arts school create more value.
"Fortunately, now is a good time. There are a lot of new lands in the world waiting to be discovered, and there is a lot to do." Shi Qiang said.
However, Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the opening of the sea is very subtle. Although it is open, it will be banned at any time. The reason is also very simple. There is only so much overseas trade. If it is divided up by the private sector, the court will have no money.
The ban on the sea does not mean that no business is allowed, but that the private sector is not allowed to do business, but it is done by the imperial court. When the court makes money, it can maintain the order of the world.
After all, not all places can engage in overseas trade, and many places rely on agriculture and are very poor.
But for ports with geographical advantages, banning the sea means cutting off people and money, so they are naturally unwilling to do so. So they would collude with Japanese pirates and carry out smuggling.
The volume of trade is certain, so everyone has to compete for the stock.
Why is the volume of trade limited? Because the energy that can be exchanged is the sum of labor and resource transformation Ability. The quantity of labor is limited, and the efficiency of resource transformation is also limited.
So how to increase the total? We need to increase the quantity and quality of the labor force, have more children, and improve education. To improve the resource conversion rate, we need to develop science and technology, optimize allocation, and encourage more people to work.
Having more children will require food, and improving education will shake up the class. Developing science and technology is a good choice, but the cost of scientific and technological development needs to be transferred by war. Optimizing distribution will also shake up class.
Therefore, for those who already have the advantage of trade, it is better not to develop than to develop. Taking the risk of being eliminated to develop others is the spirit of saints and the spirit of internationalism. Obviously the imperial court did not have such a spirit, and neither did the private businessmen.
The West definitely does not have such a spirit, but they are forced to die if they don't find a way out, so they have to develop technology and increase trade volume so that they can turn around.
When Westerners gain the upper hand, they will maintain their total volume and will not continue to develop.
If the total amount of labor and resource transformation does not increase, then everyone can only compete within the existing trade volume.
The emperor opened and banned seas in order to control trade and maintain his own advantages. But there is only one emperor, but there are many powerful people among the people. If the sea is opened, they will compete with the emperor. When the sea was closed, they smuggled, but they would not satisfy the emperor.
As for places where there is no maritime trade, there will be no development and rebellion will occur. If there is a rebellion, the emperor will be anxious but others will not.
Military depends on politics, politics depends on economics, and economics depends on geography.
The geographical environment is really important. Only with the geographical environment can we develop the economy.
With the transfer of the economic center, the land of the Central Plains is also dividing and reuniting, and there is endless chaos. At first, the economic center was in the Central Plains, but gradually moved to the east during the Zhou Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, the wealthy people from all over the world moved to Guanzhong, making Guanzhong the starting point of the Silk Road.
After the fall of the Han Dynasty, war broke out in the north, a large number of powerful families moved southward, and the south developed. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal and prepared to move the economic center eastward again. He had a fierce conflict with the Guanlong Group, and finally a war broke out.
However, the Tang Dynasty did not stop developing the coast. It established the Dragon King Temple and the Shipping Department, and attached great importance to maritime trade.
By the time the Song Dynasty lost the overland Silk Road, it could only develop the coastal areas. The Yuan Dynasty also attached great importance to trade, but because the time was too short and no decent measures were taken, it came to the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the sea was sometimes opened and sometimes closed, because the emperor wanted to control trade rights.
Whoever controls trade has the energy. This is an eternal truth. From the Shang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, this was the case. "Emperors and nobles, emperors and kings were all competing for ways to make money every day.
In this process, wars caused by uneven economic development came one after another. From the beginning, the Central Plains was developed and the East was poor, then the Central Plains was poor and the East was rich, and then the Central Plains was rich and the East was poor.
But no matter how fierce the competition is inside and outside the customs, overall the wealth is in the north. But then there were successive wars in the north, and people moved southward. The era of the south came.
In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang's territory was the southeast area, and the Guanlong nobles' territory was the northwest area, so the two groups went to war.
In the end, the Guanlong nobles won, but the development of the south has become inevitable. The Song Dynasty was continuously compressed in the south, and could only develop the south, leaving the north to the Liao and Jin.
The pattern of war has also changed from east and west fighting each other to north and south fighting each other.
Speaking from experience, it’s always the poor who take advantage of the rich. Zhou attacked the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and Qin attacked the Six Kingdoms. They all attacked the wealthy ones without money, and they all robbed developed land.
The Ming Dynasty was an accident. The south fought against the north, from a wealthy place to the relatively poor north. The reason is also very simple. The Yuan Dynasty was too ignorant.
This is the same as the American imperialist war of independence. Because the sun never sets, it is too unruly, so the American imperialists can only be independent. As long as the sun never sets recognizes the rights of the US emperor, the US emperor will be happy to continue to be a follower of the sun.
Just like the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Qing Dynasty recognized everyone's status, the wealthy gentry would not strongly resist. If you don't admit it, you can only fight.
In short, they are all fighting for ways to make money. This has been the case since ancient times. In the land of the Central Plains, the economic center is constantly moving, and every move is an inevitable war.
But economic development really depends on geography. For example, many places in the northwest are short of water. Without water, agriculture and industry cannot be developed, so water conservancy projects need to be built and water needs to be transferred from other places. There are also some places that are covered with mountains and forests, and there are very few plains that can be developed. They are all mountains. Farming is inconvenient and transportation is inconvenient. It is necessary to open mountains and build bridges across valleys. Who will pay for it?
Economically underdeveloped places will definitely have no money. Economically developed places have their own problems to solve. How can they have money to support other places?
Naturally, it is the emperor who distributes the money. The emperor wants to make money, so he can only control the money-making projects in developed areas in his own hands. But will he really support backward areas? Yes, but not much.
If a natural disaster occurs in a backward area, the emperor will definitely support it. After all, if there is unrest, it will be detrimental to him. There is also the maintenance of local infrastructure. The emperor will also spend money, but more money will be spent on profitable projects, making more money.
The emperor will not really build infrastructure in backward areas. At most, he will select some talents from backward areas. Because the emperor doesn’t have that much money [his money is also useful.
The backward areas can only strike hard. If they don't give, they will rob. So in the ancient battlefield of the Central Plains, wars came one after another, leaving behind magnificent stories of blood and tears.
The Qing Dynasty is an obvious example. The land of Longxing was so poor that it could only fight outwards. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, people were in dire straits, so everyone had no choice but to go to Guandong. .
