Chapter 317 How can Japan industrialize? (Please order and vote)
"The opponent of Jiangnan Silk Industry...:" Su Sanniang took Luo Yaoguo's arm and sat down together next to the transparent glass. Then she started to pick up the warm tea on the small red clay stove next to it.
Kettle, poured a cup of tea for himself and Luo Yaoguo each, and then asked with a smile, "Is this what the big silk merchant in Nanxun Town told you? You seem to value these people very much!"
Su Sanniang is not a queen who shrinks in the harem all day long. She is the second-in-command of Luo Yaoguo's group. Even the capital for Luo Yaoguo's business was borrowed from Su Sanniang. Although Su Sanniang has always been very submissive because she believes that Luo Yaoguo is an angel.
.
But before Luo Yaoguo implements major policies, he will discuss it with Su Sanniang first. Even if he knows that Su Sanniang will support it unconditionally, he will open up the policies to be implemented out of respect for Su Sanniang, crush them into pieces, and discuss them with Su Sanniang.
Make it clear.
"It's impossible not to pay attention to it!" Luo Yaoguo said seriously, "Now China can sell goods overseas and exchange for a large amount of silver. There are only three products: silk, porcelain, and tea. Among them, Chinese porcelain has been produced in Europe and America.
Most of the porcelain is sold out, but the market in Nanyang remains the same."
China's porcelain exports were still quite good in the 1920s and 1930s. Although the European market was not good at that time, it could still be sold to the United States. However, by the 1850s, European industrialized ceramics had basically driven Chinese traditional ceramics out of Europe and the United States.
In the market, only overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia still like porcelain made in China.
Luo Yaoguo took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows slightly: "On the other hand, due to the Qing government's unfavorable export controls on tea, the tea tree species were obtained by the British. Now they have been planted in large quantities in India. Although it is okay now, the future is worrying."
At this time, the consumption of tea in Europe and the United States was very high. After all, we drank it every day! So it attracted the attention of the British. In 1848, they sent commercial spies to sneak into China and purchased tea tree species. Now they have successfully tried planting them in India.
, will soon be planted on a large scale.
Historically, China's tea exports would encounter major challenges in the second half of the 19th century!
"The export of porcelain is not good, and the price of tea will be low in the future," Su Sanniang tried to understand Luo Yaoguo, "so we must not lose any raw silk...\n. Otherwise we will have nothing to sell to foreigners for exchange."
It’s gun time.”
"That's not all!" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, "raw silk is a starting point for us to develop the machine industry...\nIn today's world, countries that can be called great powers are all countries with prosperous machine industry. Strong industry
If the country is strong, if industry is weak, the country will be weak, no exception!
Most of the industries in various countries started with textiles, either cotton spinning or wool spinning. Among the Western powers, there is no big silk spinning country yet. This is because raw silk raw materials are scarce and most of them are produced in China and Japan. Therefore, in the next few decades,
, one of the two countries, China and Japan, will definitely become a prosperous industrial country through machine spinning, and thus join the ranks of great powers."
"So you have to help Japan betray the country," Su Sanniang smiled knowingly, "turn Japan into a British and American colonial land, and eliminate the possibility of Japan developing machine spinning as soon as possible!"
She has been with Luo Yaoguo for a long time, and she also knows what a colony is and what the machine industry is.
During this period, Luo Yaoguo frequently summoned large silk merchants in Huzhou, Suzhou and other places to discuss with them matters such as expanding mulberry gardens, improving silkworm breeds, improving silk-making technology, and building machine silk factories.
There is a strong intention to regard the establishment of a machine silk factory as a top priority!
In order to dispel everyone's concerns, Luo Yaoguo also wanted to open a mulberry garden and a machine-made silk factory in Shanghai as a demonstration. During this period, he also advertised for talents in Huzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Jiaxing and other places, recruiting people who knew how to make silk.
Talents who are good at management participated in the establishment of Shanghai Mulberry Garden and Shanghai Silk Factory.
Since Luo Yaoguo regarded Japan as his competitor in developing the silk textile industry, Su Sanniang could understand why he made some outside moves.
"No, no, I helped Japan betray its country just to keep Japan in troubled times and miss the opportunity for industrialization. It was not to make Japan a colony." Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly, "Although Japan's national conditions are different from China's
There is a big difference, but there are two things that are very similar!"
"What two points?" Su Sanniang followed Luo Yaoguo's wishes and asked cooperatively.
Luo Yaoguo stretched out a finger: "First, there are more people and less land...\n.\n:.\n.\nThe contradiction between Japan and China is several times greater than that of China! Japan has a population of more than 30 million
, about one-tenth of China’s, but its land is only one-thirtieth of China’s, and there is very little flat land. Mountains and hills that cannot be cultivated account for the vast majority of the land area.”
Su Sanniang nodded repeatedly, looking very interested in this topic.
Luo Yaoguo showed a wry smile: "The second thing is to close the country! Once the country is locked, people from outside can't get in, but people inside can't get out either...\n...\nWhen there are few people,
It's easy to do, but if there are too many people, it will cause a thunderstorm!
It has already exploded here, but the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan has kept it under control, so it has not exploded yet.
But the United States used gunboats this summer to knock on the door, and Britain is also ready to join in. When the Tokugawa shogunate cannot withstand the pressure and is forced to found a country, the prestige of the shogunate will be wiped out, and heroes from all sides will take advantage of the situation!"
"Japan is going to be in chaos?" Su Sanniang opened her eyes wide.
"There will be chaos!" Luo Yaoguo said resolutely, "Japan implements samurai rule. Their samurai are equivalent to the scholars and scribes here. Under the shogunate and above the samurai, there are more than three hundred vassals. When the world is at peace, the shogunate controls the group.
The vassals and vassals controlled the warriors, and the warriors oppressed the peasants. Because there were so many warriors in Japan, there were many wolves and few sheep. Although the peasants suffered extremely, they could not rise up like we did here.
But once the prestige of the shogunate disappears, vassals and samurai will rise up one after another, and the world of Japan may fall into the chaos of the Warring States Period...\n... And let Japan fall into the chaos of the Warring States Period, and it will be turbulent for hundreds of years, which is exactly what I want
beg!"
In order to seize the silk industry market, is it necessary to push Japan, a neighboring country, into the abyss of a century-old war?
Is this angel a bit vicious?
Su Sanniang's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at Luo Yaoguo with wide eyes.
However, Luo Yaoguo said plausibly: "Both China and Japan are going through a tribulation now. If they get over it, they will have the opportunity to become a great power and participate in the carving up of the world. If they can't get over it...\n::.\n. At least it will be a hundred years of chaos! And China will be in trouble for a hundred years!"
Japan and Japan are each other's disaster, so only one of the two countries is destined to successfully overcome the disaster. Sanniang, do you understand?"
Su Sanniang nodded, isn't this just raising Gu?
"Fortunately, China has me, so it is half a step ahead in this competition that is related to the national destiny for a century. But the ship is slow to turn around, and it is difficult for the country to change!" Luo Yaoguo sighed, "And Japan is far less closed-door than China.
So dead
, they know more about Western learning at home than we do. So once Japan is successfully blocked by the United States and Britain, it is very likely that it will successfully overcome the crisis, transform quickly, and steal our national destiny. Sanniang, do you think I should use some of it?
An outside move?"
"That's necessary!" Su Sanniang is not a "Madonna", she comes from the road. Moreover, she has always listened to Luo Yaoguo's words - they came from heaven, she saw it with her own eyes!
"Then now is a great opportunity for Britain and the United States to come together." Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "Sanniang, do you know that the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan banned Christianity more than 200 years ago...\n. They banned the religion of Christianity.
But what is prohibited is only Christianity on the surface. Christianity hidden under the surface has always existed. In the eyes of these Japanese believers, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and they are like-minded!
Before the Tokugawa shogunate was shut down by American gunboats, they even thought about aiding the Seiyo to deal with our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! So I plan to use the opportunity of Britain and the United States to open the door of Japan to get a share of the pie and combine the God-Worship Cult and Seiyo Nanyang Minister's Office
forces to advance Japan together....\n
Support the opposing factions and the samu faction respectively, so that they will continue to be in chaos!"
"Can God worship be spread to Japan?" Su Sanniang's eyes flashed, "Would the King of Heaven and King Dong also support it?"
"I will definitely do it!" Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly, "So after the New Year, I have to return to Shanghai to make arrangements for the invasion of Japan and the recovery of Ryukyu...\n...\n. Here in Suzhou, I can only work hard
You are in charge. In addition, I will send the king
Yan was transferred back to Suzhou to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Prince Wu and the deputy head of the Lecturers of the God Worshiping Association, helping you to take charge of the overall situation. You don't need to worry about military affairs, government affairs, and conference affairs, just leave them to Wang Yan, Zeng Tianyang, and Li Shoucheng.
They just go and cook."
