New Shun 1730

This does not mean that Liu Yu, who formulated the immigration plan, did not trust the self-cultivating farmers who migrated here, or the people who were originally poor and lower-class farmers in Dashun.

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

The chronic disease of the reclamation 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 resistance of the self-cultivating farmers to capital, the necessity that capital must come from the motherland, and the long ocean separation... etc., all make the centripetal force in this immigration process temporarily rely on those who first integrate into the world trade cycle.

For the understanding of capital, as long as we understand that capital is a social relationship between people mediated by things, then we should understand that the key is people.

Without people, there is no capitalism.

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

The resistance of small producers to the capitalist model, the huge conflict between small producer private ownership and capitalist private ownership... In the case of the west coast of North America, capital can only come from the motherland. After all, Dashun had neither Huguenots who were engaged in handicrafts nor Iberian Jews with strong capital, so it was always necessary to grasp this centripetal point.

The separation of the thirteen states in North America was due to the fact that they no longer needed the mother country, or that the market of the mother country was no longer sufficient to accommodate the growing productivity of the thirteen states. They needed the entire European market to accommodate the planting, wood, shipbuilding and other industries that they had developed under the protectionist policy of Britain.

And this was precisely another key to the centripetal force of the new conservatives that Dashun had fostered here, or the first rich generation with a bit of "Junker" flavor - the market on the East Coast, which needed the help of the mother country to get. In history, among those who signed the declaration of separation on the East Coast, there were a lot of people who sold wine and planted sugar.

As for what to do in the future, that is a matter for the future. When the railway crossing the mountain pass is repaired many years later and the route across the Pacific Ocean is no longer dependent on the face of God, the people will create history, but history is not created at will after all, but under the conditions that are directly encountered, established, and inherited from the past.

Everything that Dashun is doing now, in the eyes of Liu Yu, who holds the three-in-one idea of ​​"cannot be governed, wait for death, and say goodbye" to Dashun, is just to have a "condition inherited from the past" in the future, that is, a legacy.

And now, these pioneers of Xinyizhou on the west coast are actually working hard to accumulate a legacy for their descendants based on the instinct of reproduction and the ownership of private ownership.

Just like the Wang Long brothers who are arranging the work of long-term workers at this time, his motivation for being busy now is actually not related to Dashun's strategy in terms of consciousness: if he is aware of all this and is willing to pay for it, then when crossing the mountain pass, there would not be a camp mutiny.

So in fact, his motivation for being busy now is not much different from those southern Europeans who take a ship to Asia to make a fortune, and those Cossacks who cross Siberia to chase sables to make a fortune.

For themselves, for their children, to accumulate enough inheritance for them.

Indeed, if Dashun's policy here is just to be a self-employed farmer, there is no need to work so hard. But now he is no longer a self-employed farmer, so he gradually understands the role of assets, and because of the state-owned land policy of Dashun, he has to change the idea of ​​"buying land and hoarding land to leave to his descendants".

He has to think about leaving assets other than land for his children, in short, investing in industry and commerce other than land; or, in other words, accumulating capital for his children to invest in industry and commerce other than land, so that they can buy industries when they get married.

This industry is very diverse.

It may be a new winery, a mill, a shipbuilding wood processing plant, an oil mill, etc., all of which are considered industries.

Especially here where self-employed farmers are the mainstay, a mill, an oil mill, a board mill, and then they can immediately be considered one of the best families in the village.

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

This year, the potato harvest of their cooperative farm is good, 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 wine trading next year. This is indeed good news, because it means that they can purchase potatoes from the surrounding villages and expand the scale of the winemaking workshop.

This, of course, also means that he can share more profits or surplus value every year. The goal of arranging a marriage industry for his children, such as giving each son a mill and an oil mill in addition to the son who inherited here, is getting closer.

The people who came to buy wine are of course the French.

The Dashun people in Xinyizhou no longer go to see those who they think look like foreigners as if it were a "first contact incident".

And the French who came to Xinshaocheng and Xintaicheng this time, of course, came to discuss increasing the amount of wine next year. But this is not the only purpose. In addition, there are celebrations after the border between China and France was finally demarcated after more than five years, county-to-county negotiations, and more exchanges on trade, borders, land and other issues.

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

The Governor of Xinyizhou outside the Grand Governor's Office is naturally located in Xintaicheng.

The speaker of the French delegation was the Brotherhood member who was killed by assassins who rebelled against the Templars in later game stories, Vérendry. Historically, he died in the sinking of the Augustus, in which the British "sent away" all the people who knew most about North America in France.

Now, as one of the powerful French powers in North America, he is not only the director of the French North American Fur Ginseng Trading Company, but also the military and political officer of several French military posts in the west, just like in history. After all, since his father's time, he has been going deeper to the west, looking for the Sunset Sea and Sunset Bay, and he is more familiar with the situation here.

Riding on his horse, Villandry looked at the city of Dashun in the distance and couldn't help but sigh that time flies by.

"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 it can provide a continuous supply of potato shochu."

Following him were 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 had been baptized, believed in God, could speak fluent French, and became Villandry's adjutant. , not only received the rank of lieutenant, but also received a Medal of St. Louis for his "outstanding contribution" to the royal family in the ginseng trade, not even the Medal of St. Louis, which was originally awarded only to members of the Protestant faith.

This translator, or adjutant, has read books. Not only had he read books, but he had also served as a minor official in Dashun. The reason why he was thrown here in the first place was naturally because he was caught in the smuggling trade with North Korea, as well as some disgraceful behaviors such as bribery and extortion on the issue of cross-border ginseng collection by North Korean border residents.

Since I have read books, I naturally understand the culture of Dashun.

So he told Verendri about the time when Sima mistakenly built Taifu City, Zhang Yi built Shaofu City, and even the subsequent Three Kingdoms story triggered by the word "Yizhou".

"Nowadays, North America, excluding Spain, can be regarded as a tripartite. France is sandwiched between them, with the Dashun in the west and the British in the east. Its power is like the Wu-Shu Alliance. But it is different. France is the weakest, and it is also in the east. Downstream of the river, war, peace, and alliances are all in Dashun's hands."

"Look at Xintaifu City, as the county system here, at the intersection of two rivers. Shaofu City is to the north of Gong River. The two are the horns of each other, and their momentum has been established."

"Although we have an alliance now, in the future, we will really be fighting for each other, and I will be a fish and a meat. I have thought that as long as the court wants to immigrate, there are many people in the court who can do things. If they do, they will become a city in three to five years. Quite a surprise.”

This was not an instigation, but a genuine consideration for France. Villandry looked at the simple city defense in the distance, shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not something I have to worry about."

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

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

"After that battle, the Spanish completely retreated to the south, and the entire Great Plains area was in the hands of France. It covers an area of ​​one to two million square miles."

"Do you know the scale of the famous battle of Villasur Expedition that determined the ownership of this place?"

"We killed a total of 36 Spaniards, and only four of them escaped. In other words, Lieutenant General Villasur brought a total of forty people."

Villandry picked up his horsewhip, pointed to the two sister cities of Xinyizhou in the distance, and asked: "How many people do you think can be organized here? How many Villasur expeditions are there?"

"The demarcation was only completed this year. When the war just ended, Dashun did not choose to use longitude lines to demarcate the boundary. Instead, it wanted to formally demarcate the boundary using rivers, watersheds, etc. after survey."

"Now I understand that the longer it takes, the more people are here, and the greater the concessions we have to make when demarcating the boundary. Even if I understand now, I don't think there should be any hostility. Perhaps, as you said before , they regard us as Generals Longhu here and call us 'border guards', because the real threat is the millions of people in the thirteen states."

"But that's not important. What's important is that this is also the best for us. I hope that you can give up your personal hostility, even if you are an exile."

"You have to understand that for a huge empire with more than 300 million people, the temptation of arable land is huge. And for France... without the ginseng and mink trade, the value of the entire North America would be less than But it’s Guadeloupe. Of course I know it belongs to them in the future because there are so many people.”

"But I also know that I, or the entire French Fur Ginseng Company, hate French settlers coming to North America. Reclamation and the fur trade are in conflict."

This is the truth and what I say from my heart. Ever since Liu Yu and France started the ginseng and mink trade, France's powerful group in North America has been formed, and their interests have made them refuse or even hate France's land reclamation here.

Of course, I hate both my countrymen coming here to reclaim the wasteland, and I also hate the frontiersmen from the Thirteen States, especially the frontiersmen in the Appalachian Mountains.

This time, he came not only to discuss trade, wine, fur interception, and the "suzerainty" of Indian migrating tribes, but also to hope that Dashun would send some people so that the two countries could patrol the border together. After the failure of the Villasur expedition, the Spanish gave up the north. The current policy is to "invite" Catholics from Dashun to enrich the Mississippi River, and let them serve as the children of the six counties of Spain to block the Protestants from going south on the border. They can't get involved in the fur trade, so they have no interest in this matter, and they don't like Dashun officials to show up in the "Eastern Catholic Immigration Area".
