New Shun 1730

The policy of not allowing a single nail to be produced in North America applies to Britain, but not to Dashun.

Learning this is like looking for a sword on a boat.

Dashun's policy towards Fuso is very clear: after the gold and silver are dug up, you can go and play with the Atlantic Ocean in your trade cycle.

It is up to you whether to follow the story of Zhao Tuo afterwards, and there is no intention to take the core at all.

Of course, there is no need to worry about separation in the early stage. After all, the capitalism of the West Coast and New Yizhou now relies on Dashun's colonialism, and the distorted social relations created by the power of the state. Without the power of Dashun, the whole thing will collapse the next day, and no one can be hired in the factory.

In this day and age, on this land, only fools can be workers if they can be farmers.

Therefore, when Vérendry heard that the textile industry was to be developed here.

In fact, in addition to what he heard, it was not just the textile industry that was to be developed here.

It was also necessary to develop wood processing, river boat manufacturing, coal mining, iron smelting blast furnaces, etc., etc.

Dashun basically had no industrial restrictions on this side.

Of course, we cannot say that there are no restrictions at all. For example, Dashun will restrict the old three things.

But such restrictions are unnecessary.

The climate here cannot grow tea. I have never heard of growing tea in a place with a precipitation line of 450 mm and a frost-free period of 100 days.

The climate here cannot make silk. I have never heard of growing mulberry trees on the grassland. The Italians could not grow black mulberry in that climate, and Charles of England tried to grow red mulberry, but the silk cakes he spit out were average. Not to mention this, Mexico tried hard to grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was useless because of the climate.

The population here cannot make porcelain either. These days, foreign trade is developing rapidly. The craftsmen who can make and burn porcelain, firstly, Dashun controls and prohibits them from leaving the country, and all need to register for joint guarantee, and secondly, they are definitely unwilling to come.

Except for these three things, the rest are all free.

Exactly, these three things, even if there is no announcement, cannot be done here.

Therefore, after alcohol, as an early pillar industry, opened up the trade line, the remaining industries also began to be supported.

In the long run, or if the dream of free trade is regarded as a basic theorem of reality, the textile industry here will be finished sooner or later.

It can even be said that it is fundamentally against the principle of trade.

Once the cotton textile industry in Dashun began to be fully mechanized, under the technical exchange, cotton could not be grown here, and there was definitely no prospect for the textile industry. Because the southern part of the East Coast is one of the most suitable places in the world to grow cotton, and the population is sufficient.

However, just as free trade is a "dream" and "ideal" like Zhou Li, it is not a basic theorem of reality. Since a place like Manchester can develop into a textile center in the 19th century, it even defeated Indian cotton cloth, which has all advantages in technology, cost, and quality.

Then, it can be seen that this thing is just an ideal, not a basic theorem of reality. Therefore, developing the textile industry here is not only possible, but also possible, and can even effectively complete the dumping of the Thirteen States, even though the Thirteen States can grow cotton and are very suitable for growing cotton; while here they only grow wheat, potatoes and rapeseed, and are not suitable for growing cotton at all.

Of course, this does not mean that this place will be finished in the future, and the city will become a ruin, like the canal city in northwest Shandong or the story of Yangzhou at this time. Because in later generations, this place is the second largest energy center in North America, with super-large oil fields and super-large coal mines. It is precisely because of these energy sources that this place has completed the transformation from an agricultural province to an energy province in history-in fact, there are large coal mines and large oil fields next to it. This next to it refers to the hundred miles of this elbow river bend, and it is the kind of God-given food that can be dug out with a hoe, which is very different from the energy depth of southern Sichuan, where wells can be dug hundreds of meters to use natural gas to boil salt.

The textile industry will definitely be finished in the future, but it does not prevent the textile industry from being built now. The Russians have already developed a flax combing machine, and the wool textile technology has also been learned by Dashun.

The positioning here is the industrial center west of Dashishan Mountain. It relies on the cooperation of industrial development and myopic colonialism to absorb population and complete population migration.

There are large coal mines and iron here, and even 85% of Canada's oil, natural gas, coal and other energy companies in the future are all here.

This is also an important wheat producing area and rapeseed producing area in the world in the future.

It should be said that this place is very suitable for industrial development.

Moreover, capital is also convenient, because the gold and silver in the Jinshan area can be directly invested here.

In terms of transportation, this is the upper reaches of the big river on the east coast of North America. It can jump to the Mississippi River basin not far to the south; it leads all the way to the Great Lakes to the east.

It is almost a perfect transportation environment; resource environment; backed by the West Coast gold and silver mines of Dashun's "printing factory"; it is also a perfect primary industry planting area.

Although for the time being, from the perspective of world trade and gold and silver as world currency, this trade cycle seems to be a painful detour for the time being. It is quite weak to complete the trade cycle with fur, ginseng and other media as transit.

But on the one hand, ginseng can still make a lot of money in the short term, or even for a long time.

On the other hand, the fur craze will continue for a long time in the short term, and the real peak has not yet arrived. The trend of fashion, social differentiation, and the increasing purchasing power of luxury goods have made it far from the peak of the fur trade in history.

In the original history, the fur trade in North America had the following historical significance: the fur trade in North America enabled fur traders to obtain a large amount of profits, which were just invested in the textile industry when the Industrial Revolution broke out. To a certain extent, it also strengthened the cotton planting industry in the southern states of North America, and to a certain extent strengthened the slavery in North America.

Now, it should be said that the fur trade in North America, as a medium of currency circulation, greatly promoted the speed of Chinese immigration to North America, and was the most important factor in the early development of capitalism on the west coast of North America.

Of course, it is still a bit weak to say that the industrial development of New Yizhou is driven by the fur and ginseng trade alone.

But as with many things, such as colonial plunder, the key is not "how much money was plundered", but the significance of the early start-up stage.

A steamed bun when you are almost starving and a steamed bun after you have money are both steamed buns, but I am afraid they are definitely not steamed buns with the same meaning.

Dashun's immigration policy here is not to engage in a tenancy system, and to ensure that every agricultural laborer can reach his or her labor limit.

This means that the more immigrants there are, the wider the market will be, and every self-employed farmer is a potential consumer.

It can even be said that in terms of cloth consumption, one farmer here is equivalent to ten or even twenty farmers on the Dashun side.

The difficulty is only in the early stage.

As long as the population migration here can be pulled up by ginseng and fur trade in the early stage. Once a certain number is reached, a spontaneous internal circulation will be formed.

Of course, this also requires Dashun to make another advance preparation, that is, the currency issue.

Once the spontaneous internal circulation begins, it can be done with paper money, gold and silver, or even shells as used in the early days of the East Coast of North America.

But if Dashun does not intervene in the currency issue early, it will sooner or later find an embarrassing situation, that is... there is a lack of gold and silver here, and there is also a lack of gold and silver on the East Coast. The actual gold and silver currency can only rely on the fur and ginseng trade.

Most of the gold and silver mines on the West Coast will not stay in North America. Either return to Dashun Songsu for industrial development, or go to India, or go to Southeast Asia. Only a small part may stay in North America - this small part is enough for the early capital raising of New Yizhou.

After all, there are tens of millions of taels of gold in a gold mountain.

And Dashun must consider in advance that if it does not interfere with currency, completes the issuance of paper currency to North America as soon as possible and keeps pace with its own country, then there will be problems in the future.

The industrial positioning of New Yizhou is facing North America.

But North America is short of gold and silver except for the west coast.

In the case of internal circulation, currency is currency, whether it is exchanged for gold and silver or anchored by grain, there is no problem in North America.

But the key problem is that Dashun's positioning of New Yizhou is to pay money to capture people from Dashun for immigration.

This will lead to an embarrassing scene similar to the Thirteen States doing business with Britain - merchants in the Thirteen States use banknotes to pay debts, and British merchants look at banknotes and wonder what I need your banknotes for? I can buy food, but do I spend money to buy a bunch of food and ship it back to Britain?

The problem of Xinyizhou is the same. If Dashun does not intervene in currency early, sooner or later the industry here will develop and there will be money, but there will be no money recognized by Dashun. In that case, there will be no chance of migration.

For example, people transport ships.

It should be noted that industry can develop in North America, but the transportation industry, especially people transport ships, must be linked to Dashun. This point must not be wrong.

To link to Dashun, it is necessary to ensure that these industries that are in urgent need of wage workers must use money recognized by Dashun. The paper money you issue for internal circulation is not recognized by Dashun, and it is useless to recognize it because you can't buy it. Or, Dashun has its own industry. Is it sick to go across the Pacific Ocean to buy wine, iron and linen?

In theory, it seems that it is okay to let people transport ships not be linked to Dashun, but just be the local industry in North America? In this way, the factory owners who are in urgent need of wage workers give money to the ship owners of the people transport ships. The ship owners spend money in North America anyway, so they will recognize this money.

In theory, there is definitely no problem. At least from the perspective of North America, there is no problem.

The problem is that if we do this, it is hard to say whether the people transported are from Dashun.

Can't we transport Japanese? The route is closer and the cost is lower; can't we transport Koreans? The big families sell slaves and servants, and sell people to America for money, isn't it wonderful?

From the perspective of North America, there must be no problem: I only want wage workers, I want hard labor, I don't care if this person is Japanese, Korean, islander or Chinese? Whatever is cheaper, I will do it.

But from the perspective of Dashun, there must be a big problem: I just want to send people out, and the people I send are from North China. Of course, they cannot be Japanese, Korean, or islander, but Chinese. The purpose is to ease the contradiction between people and land and reduce the huge impact of the bankruptcy of small farmers. Otherwise, what am I looking for?

Therefore, the business of transporting people across the Pacific must and can only ensure that it is bound to Dashun, and immigrants from North America cannot play by themselves.

Otherwise, if they can transport slaves, they will never transport farmers; if they can transport Japanese who are closer, they will never transport people from North China.

This meant that Dashun had to issue paper money, and it had to be paper money that was directly used in Dashun itself to ensure that this set of colonial techniques could continue.

Especially, when its industry develops and a large number of wage workers are about to be needed, it is necessary to ensure that the money can be used to buy things in Dashun. Although it can cause some inflation, it is not a big problem, and it is better than looking at the capital in North America with money and profit but no world currency, which leads to the interruption of immigration plan.

Therefore, what Vérendry can see is just a small, small microcosm. He just sighed that Dashun's colony actually allowed the development of industry.

In fact, behind this, there are a series of policies involving industry, colonialism, social relations distortion, paper money issuance, gold and silver mountains to promote Dashun's internal currency reform, abolishing copper and silver currencies and using small currencies as gold and silver subsidiary currencies.

Don't look at Dashun, or from the Ming Dynasty, it has been sucking silver.

But in fact, without digging gold and silver mountains, Dashun is still far from being on the gold and silver standard. That little gold and silver is not enough compared to the huge economic volume of the country.

Whether it is Dashun or Ming Dynasty, it is not on the silver standard. Copper coins are not subsidiary coins of silver. Copper coins and silver are the relationship between local currency and foreign currency. It is just that Ming and Dashun use foreign currency as tax currency.

Neither Ming nor Dashun has the right to issue banknotes. The seigniorage is not collected by the court, but by merchants on the southeast coast.

Behind the development of gold and silver mines on the west coast and the lifting of the industrial ban in Xinyizhou, there is a currency reform that is happening in Dashun that Vérendry cannot see. And this reform is closely related to the immigration plan and industrial development here.
