Although Xu Wei wanted to give everyone ideals, Wang Ge's background also made them sympathize with the people, so Xu Wei's previous system could still be implemented according to his own ideas.
But now that Wang Ge and the others have changed their identities and have been in high positions for many years, the problem of butts determining heads has begun to appear to Wang Ge and the others, and now they are more concerned about real things.
Everyone worked hard to conquer the world with Xu Wei, in order to become a founding hero, and for the future glory and wealth. Everyone thinks that it is worth enduring some hardships now.
But if Xu Wei keeps them suffering, there will be no benefit at all. No matter how high his prestige is, everyone will still complain, and maybe they will give up on themselves and go against Xu Wei. It is not impossible that the world will be in chaos by then!
But now the industrial revolution has sprouted. After many years of training by Xu Wei, the productivity efficiency of Hebei is no longer inferior to that of the Song and Ming Dynasties in history. As long as this barrier is further broken through, the industrial age can come to this world. .
Therefore, Xu Wei does not plan to command the army himself in future battles. He plans to develop a steam engine next, and at least drag Da Gan into the first scientific and technological revolution, allowing this bud to blossom and bear fruit.
But for an industrial revolution to occur, it does not mean that the productivity has reached the point. Historically, Chinese civilization has reached the standards of the industrial revolution thousands of years ago, but it lacks an environment suitable for industrialization, and it is this environment that has troubled China for thousands of years. Neither could take this step, so it took thousands of years to sprout and sprout twice, but it still failed to bear fruit.
The feudal aristocracy is obviously a backward relationship that needs to be eliminated for industrialized countries.
Xu Wei himself spent decades to finally smash the old world of the Han Dynasty and the aristocrats headed by the Han Dynasty, but he also created a group of people like the aristocrats. This was something Xu Wei could not accept.
What industrial countries need is new relationships, not feudal aristocracy.
Xu Wei looked at Wang Ge and the others and suddenly realized why the founding emperors had extremely high prestige, but still wanted to kill the heroes. It was because what the founding heroes wanted was completely different from what the founding emperor wanted to give. It was impossible to talk about it. For those founding emperors, killing the heroes was a better choice.
When conquering the world, the founding heroes are very good, but governing the world is not necessarily the case. This is why emperors of all dynasties like to use the civil service system to gradually eliminate the system of heroes. This process may happen sooner or later, but there are no exceptions. Even the great Han and Han Dynasties with strong military virtues The same goes for the Tang Dynasty, except that this process took hundreds of years to complete.
When their alternation is completed, the martial ethics of a dynasty will be abolished and begin to gradually decline. Hundreds of years later, a new dynasty will replace the old dynasty. This is like a reincarnation and is difficult to avoid.
However, Xu Wei is a modern man. He will not think like the ancient founding emperors that he conquered the world, so the world belongs to him.
In Xu Wei's view, although he had put in a lot of effort to establish Daqian, it was also the result of Wang Ge and others' hard work. If he were the major shareholder, Wang Ge and the others would be the minority shareholders, and they would have their share in the world. If you have power, you naturally have the right to enjoy it.
Of course, this world was conquered by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Daqian Army, and it was also conquered with the support of the 30 million followers of the Daqian Army. These tribesmen also have merit, and they also have their share of this world. If Wang Ge and the others If you ask for too much, Xu Wei won't agree.
Moreover, Xu Wei had many more ways to reward these heroes than emperors in history.
According to Xu Wei's idea, he naturally didn't want Wang Ge and others to become the nobles of the Han Dynasty. A person's experience will affect a person's three views. Wang Ge and his three views were all deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty. Although they were deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty, They were oppressed by the powerful gentry, but if possible, they also wanted to become new powerful gentry, just like what tenants most wanted to be was often a landlord.
This is why even though Zhu Yuanzhang and others were born as beggars, they still became representatives of big landowners when they became emperors. Zhu Yuanzhang's knowledge prevented him from stepping out of the circle of the feudal dynasty.
Now Xu Wei is trying to find a way to change their thinking. Even becoming an industrial aristocrat is better than becoming a land aristocrat.
So Xu Wei asked without being pretentious: "Emperor is just a title. Although I call it ruling now, my rights are not much less than that of the emperor. With Liu Bei's current strength, there is really no way to stop us from taking over the world. It will take 10 years at most." We can unify the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are the founding heroes, but I don’t know what you want to reward for your contribution, land, shops or honor?"
This question has reached the point, and everyone was pleasantly surprised. They were really worried that Xu Wei would refuse again, but now it seems that the ruling party does not intend to refuse them, but intends to reward them for their contributions over the past ten years. In this world, Things are almost settled. They have worked hard for decades and they should enjoy themselves.
"If the government agrees, I want land. The more, the better. When I was a child, I was afraid of hunger and poverty, so I wanted to see food. The more, the better. If possible, I want to build a granary at home. , there are tens of thousands of stones of food piled on top of the pile, even if you can’t finish it, it’s okay to look at it!” said a staff officer.
"You have forgotten that our land in Dagan is state-owned. What will you do if you allocate tens of thousands of acres to one person? If you gain tens of thousands of acres, tens of thousands of households will lose their land, and these people may go hungry. To die, you need tens of thousands of kilograms of food, even if you can't finish it, you still have to watch it. This is what the wealthy nobles of the Han Dynasty did. It was because of this in Jizhou that millions of people starved to death. You have forgotten why we rebelled. Really? You have no conscience!" Old Man Wang scolded angrily.
Being scolded by Old Man Wang, the staff officer said uneasily: "This is not because the government wants me to speak my mind. I just have such an idea, but I don't really want to do it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Xu Wei immediately stopped Old Man Wang and said: "Here are my old brothers, there is nothing that cannot be said, and telling the truth is better than telling lies. If we tell the truth, we can still find problems and solve them, but the big guy just keeps telling lies and can't even tell the truth, and now he has been beaten to the south of the Yangtze River by us."
After Xu Wei said this, everyone finally relaxed. They preferred telling the truth rather than talking in roundabout ways.
But Xu Wei looked at the staff officer and said: "But what the old man said is not wrong. Our land is owned by the state. Why did we rebel back then? It was because all the land in the world had been robbed by those powerful nobles, and we couldn't survive. You can only rebel."
“Can we provide these 10,000 acres or 20,000 acres of land to everyone?
It can be done based on the wasteland currently in Daqian's hands, but if we divide this land, we will become like the noble families of the Han Dynasty. With tens of thousands of acres of land, we will want more.
Then our descendants will seize the land of ordinary people like the current noble families. Each of our families has hundreds of thousands of acres of land. But the land in the Han Dynasty is limited. If we take away so much land, the world will be If there are millions of families who cannot survive, they will become refugees, and then they will follow us, lead a rebellion under the leadership of the next great sage, and hang all our descendants!"
Xu Wei's words were so serious that the staff officer broke out in a cold sweat and said: "I don't want the land to be in power!"
Obviously, it was difficult for everyone present to watch with peace of mind that their descendants were prosperous and wealthy, but the people all over the world were starving to death.
Then Xu Weirang was able to show the world map he drew, spread it out in front of everyone and said: "Of course, if you really want tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of acres of land, it is not impossible to do it. The world is very big, and the land occupied by the big man is only one." There are countless continents and islands overseas waiting for everyone to occupy. Even Cao Cao and the others can get such a huge island, which may even have millions of acres of land."
"If you really have such an idea, you can also demarcate an island by yourself, immigrate and open up wasteland by yourself. When the time comes, you can have millions of acres of land, not just 10,000 acres. I can fully support your idea."
Everyone smiled awkwardly. If the big man had 10,000 acres of land, not to mention millions, they would be very happy. But the wasteland overseas, no matter how big the island in the painting is, but there is no one, who will follow you? If the land is reclaimed, and even if it is reclaimed, if you want to achieve the living standard of Jixian, I am afraid that it will not be achieved without decades or even hundreds of years of hard work, and it may even never be achieved. We cannot let everyone endure hardships until they die. Who can bear it after finally taking over the whole world and still having to endure hardships?
Another staff officer said: "Rather than farming, I want to open a factory. Now I can make money by opening a factory. As long as I have a boat, I can throw the fishing net into the sea and get a boatload of money back. It is said that the fishery industry can now make a profit in one year." Ben, you can earn tens of millions of dollars in a few years, and if you have a whaling ship, it will be even worse. Whales are full of treasures, and you can earn tens of millions of dollars just by catching one whale."
"The transportation industry is also very profitable. The current rail carriages can carry more than ten times more cargo than the previous two-wheeled carriages, and the rail transportation speed is much faster. If we can get a few more horses, several carriages can be connected together. , you can make tens of thousands of dollars by transporting hundreds of shi of goods at a time!"
Although the industrialization of Daqian was only in the handicraft stage, because Xu Wei completely smashed the internal feudal obstacles, an unprecedented unified market emerged, with more than 30 million wealthy people in need of various commodities.
Bidige
The emergence of advanced production technologies such as the assembly line factory model has led to the rapid growth of Daqian's handicraft industry. It can be said that now is the golden age of setting up factories. Except for the textile industry, any industry has a profit of more than 30%. If it is a new industry, the profit More than doubling it is easy.
As for the officials within the Daqian, they see it most clearly, and will naturally be affected by this wave of industrialization. In addition, everyone within the Daqian is prohibited from obtaining land. Many people within the Daqian have actually begun to invest in industry. .
To a certain extent, this is what Xu Wei wants to see. Officials who have invested in factories will naturally come to the side of industrialization. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as an increase in the power of industry. Bureaucratic capital is always better than feudalism. Nobility is a force for progress.
But after hearing what everyone said, Xu Wei felt very helpless. As expected, everyone had the idea of success in their hearts.
This cannot be said to be wrong, but they are all high-ranking officials. If they all enjoy themselves and only care about their own small families, this will cause big problems.
"Everyone may think that they have achieved success and it's time to enjoy it. This is a wrong idea." Xu Wei said firmly: "Conquering the world is only the first step, but to build a world where everyone can have enough to eat, everyone can Even children can read Huangtian World if they have clothes to wear. We also need to work hard to improve the wealth in the hands of the people.
Now is not the time for everyone to relax. Instead, we must demand ourselves more strictly. It is easy to conquer the world. China has conquered the world several times in its 3,000-year history, but it has truly emerged that everyone can have enough to eat and have clothes to wear. , a world where children have books to read has never happened before. To a certain extent, what we are going to do can be said to be the first of its kind in the world!"
Zhang Jiao has helped Xu Wei a lot. Most of the people in Daqian are Taiping sect believers. Zhang Jiao has been preaching for decades and still has some political legacy, so Xu Wei plans to continue to draw this pie so that everyone can have a New pursuit goals.
This can slow down the speed of internal corruption of Daqian. A person who has ideals and a person who has no ideals are completely two different states.
Just like the literati before the Song Dynasty, no matter whether it was true or false, they would always say that they would report it to the emperor.
When people live in peace, they always say that they become officials to realize their political ambitions and make the world peaceful.
No one would say this, I am just for glory and wealth, I am an official just for money and beautiful women.
But when he became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he directly said: There are thousands of bells in the book, there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a face like jade in the book.
This is nakedly saying that being an official is just for money and beauty, which directly lowers the ideal of scholars.
So starting from the Song Dynasty, even if many dynasties were new, corruption could not be eradicated, and there was no look of a new dynasty with a new atmosphere. This is because the number of scholars has been reduced to a very low level by the emperors of the Song Dynasty.
Although most officials think so about this kind of thing, as an emperor, you cannot say this. Ordinary people know that struggle is for career and love. As an emperor, you nakedly say that it is for money and love. Beauty, you have said so, then don’t blame the officials in your hands, they really do what you said to eat your country.
The ideal of serving the country is gone, and officials are only left with the idea of seeking power and wealth for their own families. And if all officials think like this, how can such a country become strong?
Therefore, the Song Dynasty, which had a population of hundreds of millions, would be beaten to death by hundreds of thousands or even millions of ethnic minorities. It can be said that Chinese civilization declined for thousands of years from the Song Dynasty, and these emperors of the Song Dynasty were all responsible for historical responsibility.
