The size of the population indicates the degree of tragedy, and this will always be the case. And because of this tragedy.
Businessmen naturally cannot accept such huge costs, of course.
It’s not that the imperial court didn’t think of ways to deal with this kind of thing, but many times when trying to find ways, it was just tinkering with the existing framework. At most, it was an innovation in the framework, but no one could make something out of nothing. However, after repeated efforts, most of the time,
Tang Huan really achieved something like creating something out of nothing, in short, the existence of corn.
Of course, there are many other things, in short, they are specialties of the Americas. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty also directly used government decrees to ensure that merchants going to the Americas would receive a considerable degree of subsidies.
As for how the local merchants and craftsmen in China will live after losing part of their business, the answer to this question is that they have a more complex and arduous task.
The age of great strife has never ended. The price of peace among the barbarian nations surrounding China was that the Tang Dynasty itself fell into horrific infighting. The imperial examinations were like a millstone of flesh and blood, consuming the intellectual resources of China.
The price of China not being inwardly involved was that the wolf became a vassal state. Some of the barbarians became vassal states of China, and some disappeared forever due to the betrayal of the barbarians who became vassal states.
Since ancient times in China, there have been many Confucian scholars who regard benevolence and righteousness as their top priority. Whether they sincerely advocate benevolence and righteousness and believe that the opposite of a world of great strife is "peace", or they simply hope to rely on their own words to fight against those who engage in the art of war.
People are grabbing food.
The answers no longer matter, because after the birth of industry and commerce, war in the form of commerce and making money seemed gentler and bloodless, but in fact it began to be fought on a wider scale.
As a result, the first-class Confucian scholars were permanently eliminated, including the various speaking skills they had always been proud of.
For Confucian scholars, it is the most difficult thing in the world to realize that "peace" and "winning the war" are the same thing.
But for those at the bottom, struggling to make a living in the darkness, this is an eternal truth that will be slapped on their faces every day along with the beatings of life.
Merchants were not only interested in profit from the beginning, nor were they born to be cunning and vicious in fighting against the common people. The Tang Dynasty court was naturally aware of this.
We can't really force these merchants to go to America to open up frontiers. After all, if we talk about people like Wang Jing who are eating land rent and don't know what hardships are in the world, it doesn't matter if they are dealt with - before the rise of commerce and industry, the people of China could only farm land.
Being a soldier is a career, so the Tang Dynasty really can't do anything to these people rashly, because the ancients are different from modern people after all. They don't have so many ways to live, and it is better to die than to live. For modern people
It is a shame for people, but for the ancient people, it is a lesson of blood and tears.
In fact, even for people in modern commercial society, the war has never ended. The battle in the shopping mall has expanded the scope of the battle that only broke out on the front line to every inch of land in the world, directly
Bleeding is greatly reduced as a result. But indirect bleeding.
It never ended.
Li Er, who knew this well, could only find ways to open a way to make things easier.
However, despite this, manpower is busy and limited, and the road to opening up the sea is still not smooth.
Under this premise, maritime merchants.
Anyway, Datang's strategic operation was so stumbling, and the maritime merchants had always noticed it.
It seems that because the court was half threatening and half encouraging - both encouragement and threats were genuine. After all, life is like this. In this case, the maritime merchants realized that they might really have to go to America. This kind of "
"Have to" is not even because of Li Er's decree, but because of the situation.
Under such circumstances, one can suddenly find a new way out without risking one's life. One can imagine how shocked these maritime merchants were!
Originally, in their view, everything in the world must be fought no matter what. Although everyone has accumulated a lot of wealth through sea trade over the years, and more importantly, the experience of fighting against wind and waves at sea has also cultivated a large number of outstanding disciples.
.
This is exactly the difference between maritime merchants and people like Wang Jing. It is the most fundamental difference!
But it is precisely because of this reason, and also because, despite experiencing the education of storms and waves, a large number of these young people are not that strong, anyway.
For these merchants who have been practicing at sea for many years and are not children themselves, the grand undertaking of sailing to America is still not an attractive thing.
Although there are a few among them who can realize the inevitability of suffering and the simple truth that only by facing suffering can we reduce casualties, most people are just mortals after all.
Under such circumstances, these "mortals" discovered a strange and magical new method of crowdfunding to start a business.
Although Chai Shao was very worried at first, if this financial skill is so good, will it cause any adverse consequences? After all, if anyone in the world is not greedy for such a powerful method, there will be no peace in the world. And if things happen
If this is the case, then in the future, Datang will probably experience even more terrifying things. A careless ghost knows how many people will be injured or killed.
However, although this worry never disappeared, Chai Shao quickly came to his senses. He had actually thought about the relevant issues clearly, and this matter might cause problems.
But in the final analysis, problems always arise around people. As long as the Tang Dynasty still maintains the momentum of pioneering and enterprising, and sea trade continues and expands step by step day by day, then, at least when conspiracies and magic are rampant in the world, there will be no
There will always be bad consequences, but there will also be good consequences.
In any case, in today's Tang Dynasty, at least everyone in the world has more food, right? Life is getting better and better, and these practical things are all on the surface. And in this case,
Although China may become something completely unfamiliar to me in the future, no matter what, I can only do the things in front of me first, otherwise all the rest will be just empty talk.
After Chai Shao reported this concern to the emperor over the phone, it naturally attracted the emperor's attention.
This kind of thing is nothing in the face of the great cause of opening up the sea!
Li Er quickly approved Chai Shao's motion and summoned all the people from Shangshu Province overnight.
