Davis is gone.

He was driven away by Xie Tianyao.

When he left, he still looked unhappy.

He couldn't figure out why Long Yan still refused his so tempting tea trade! Of course he didn't know, because in his previous life, it was not the Netherlands that led the tea war, but Britain.

Liu Zheng was just taking precautions before they happened.

So speaking of it, the Netherlands is very aggrieved.

The Netherlands is a maritime coachman, and its strength in those days is obvious to all. But the Netherlands is lucky. They put more energy, and even the focus of colonization, on trade, and their military capabilities are not strong.

But Britain is different.

Britain's colonial journey was full of blood and blood.

The word colonization comes up again here.

Now that Long Yan has developed, Liu Zheng feels that this issue must be raised.

Take a look at past history.

What are the differences between the Dutch and British colonial methods and backgrounds of the two East India Companies?

Very simple.

The colonial advantages of the Netherlands have been mentioned before, including the sales of herrings, the modification of ships, and their reputation for trustworthiness. But the Dutch lacked imperial power, lacked land, even lacked cities, lacked natural resources, and lacked an industrial base. More importantly,

Yes, it was the Dutch who gave up the artillery on warships in order to allow merchant ships to carry more cargo.

When it was at its most powerful, neglecting naval construction was the basic cause of the Netherlands' failure.

They are too idealistic and can use trade to rule the world.

But under the historical background of the time, trade could not match military strength.

Therefore, no matter how rich the Netherlands is, this empire will eventually be short-lived.

What about Britain?

In the mid to late seventeenth century.

If Britain launches several wars against the Netherlands, the Netherlands will lose its maritime hegemony.

Britain's advantages lie in: first, the establishment of the capitalist system, which is an institutional advantage. Second, the high degree of development of handicraft industry, which is an economic advantage. Third, it focuses on developing naval strength, which is a military advantage. Fourth, it is located in the Atlantic shipping center.

, this is a geographical advantage.

Due to various advantages, it is natural for the Netherlands to lose its hegemony.

This is what Liu Zheng is thinking about now.

The reason why he asked Ling Chen to establish the East India Company was to begin to completely control the land of India, as well as the spice and poppy business in Central Asia. But he did not suggest that Ling Chen really lose the army, and he would even give Ling Chen some support in terms of the equipment of the army.

Chen has great support because what he wants to follow is the British model.

The Dutch model is not suitable for long-term development.

Economic and military strength must match.

As for the system in Central Asia.

Of course Liu Zheng does not recommend starting to make drastic changes now.

He always believes that there is a trend in the development of history, and no one should try to encourage it. This is a bad phenomenon.

For example, if you now forcefully promote socialism...Liu Zheng is of course a firm supporter, no doubt.

But at this time, it definitely won't work.

Large backgrounds are not allowed.

Liu Zheng didn't know if Wang Mang was a time traveler, but what he did at that time was pretty much the same. In the end, the dynasty collapsed and he died tragically.

Although it is possible that his life span in this life is not enough to support him to do many things, and not enough for him to see the prosperity of his motherland in his previous life. But Liu Zheng is still not in a hurry, and plays steadily and steadily, which is the pace he wants. If he can't do it, he can still

I have a son, but if I don’t have a son, I also have a grandson.

Ancestors for generations.

The prosperous age he wants will definitely come.

Let’s talk about institutional issues again.

He felt that the special economic zone system in Liaodong this time was as good as it could be under the background of the Longyan feudal dynasty.

Give full play to the power of capital, give full play to the freedom of funds, and fully mobilize people's enthusiasm for investment.

This was difficult to achieve in the class society with fixed telephone lines in the past.

In the feudal dynasty, the status of merchants was very low.

Liu Zheng feels that this cannot promote social development and may even lead to social regression.

The sprouts of capitalism have begun to emerge in the West.

The power of capital will slowly show its edge.

Long Yan doesn’t have to choose.

But you can’t afford not to be on guard.

Liu Zheng wanted Long Yan's funds to be put into operation.

Just like the group of rich people who followed him, they experienced life and death together, they entered Liaodong together, they witnessed Qiao Yuan's fate together, and they also witnessed Liu Shilang's strength.

Their desire to invest is very strong.
