Chapter 5980 Exploiting the World

The injections developed by Zhang Ji and others are not the type that can directly make people look 20 years younger. They are more about extending youth to a certain extent. Therefore, they are very effective for those old people who exercise well and are in good physical condition.

For most civil servants, they are probably just hanging on for their lives. If you use your mental talent before fighting, it will cause a certain amount of pressure on the spirit. After you fight, it will still cause pressure on the spirit. To put it simply, this thing is just hanging on for life, not real life.

Restore youth.

This is also when Huangfu Song is risking his life. He still needs to take special injections to restore all aspects of his functions to his youthful state, because only that kind of Huangfu Song is the true military god goalkeeper. The normal Huangfu Song is actually just frozen in the

Recuperate to peak condition before injection.

This peak state refers to the peak state that is roughly equivalent to Huangfusong's sixty-year-old, rather than turning forty and continuing to develop towards the sixty-year-old peak. If Huangfusong really has accumulated such experience at the age of forty,

It’s time to rub your own framework and become a military god.

Therefore, after taking the injection to restore youth, Huangfusong directly reached the top of the framework system. Within the framework, he could compete with Han Xin, but that injection consumes energy and energy. Even if a miracle doctor is watching, he will replenish it after use.

Even my age cannot bear to do this.

People always need to accept old age, and time is fair to everyone.

Of course, no matter how optimized the injection is, the price cannot be reduced. Therefore, if anyone needs it, go to the other party. If the other party is willing to produce it, you can have it. If the other party is not willing to produce it, and there are other things to deal with, then just go with it.

It can be considered unlucky for you.

But again, I generally know what I can find, and I can basically get it.

A large part of the reason why Xun Shuang and Chen Jineng continued to cling to life was because of this injection. They had their own channels to obtain favors from Zhang Ji, but even after the injection, they were still unable to use their spiritual talents.

The meaning of their current existence is more to stay alive and prevent the family from falling apart.

Anyway, all the major families are well aware of the situation of the Xun family. As long as Xun Shuang dies, the Xun family will collapse into three or four pieces overnight, and the Chen family will not be much better. Once Chen Ji, Chen Shang and others die, Chen Xi

The relationship with the Chen family has been completely broken.

Even though Chen Xi and Chen Qun could sit down and chat together when they met, the gap between the two was actually not small, but it was not shown on the surface. Once old people like Chen Ji left, the Yingchuan Chen family would definitely be divided.

Second, both of them work hard to live as long as possible until the next generation is not so young and energetic, and can sit down and talk, and then die.

Sometimes things like lifespan are not very important, and sometimes they are very important.

Masinde has entered his seventies, and it is not surprising that he will die anytime. It is precisely because of this that he can do what he wants to do so freely.

Chen Xi did not realize this, but Chen Xi valued this person's ability. For such personnel who are truly beneficial to national construction, Chen Xi would extend their useful life as much as possible.

Of course, the most important thing is that the output of this kind of life-extending injection is very low. Occasionally there is excess, and if you don’t use it quickly, it will be a problem if people find out and a group of people come to ask for it.

After all, either no one knows about this kind of inventory, or everyone at a certain level knows it, so it must be eliminated quickly to avoid being blocked.

In Chen Xi's opinion, Masinde is a very reliable person who is very needed for national construction. Now that he happens to have it on hand, it is better to use it quickly. Chen Xi does not think that this kind of news can be kept for too long.

Masinde didn't know that Chen Xi had a high opinion of him because of his previous answers, and even arranged for life-extending injections. He just felt that communicating with Chen Xi was quite happy. There were many things that he had not even considered, but when

After Chen Xi proposed the direction, Ma Xinde couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Therefore, when Chen Xi said that he was not good at practical operations, Ma Xinde sighed, is it the practical operation that is difficult at their level? In fact, it is not, more often, the difficulty is the idea and the direction, and the practical operation is

If your plan and ideas are correct for this kind of thing, someone will naturally implement it.

At this level, who still expects you to do the work yourself? Everyone expects you to be the guide, beacon, and helmsman!

"Is this actually such a way of thinking?" Masinde listened to Chen Xi's policy philosophy and foundation and patted his own thigh repeatedly. He was so impressed.

"Yes, talent is the greatest resource." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The most obvious trend after a place develops is the positive inflow of population. Many policies must be supported by a sufficient population."

Masinde nodded repeatedly. He knew this, but he had only noticed this when he was in Kushan. But on the one hand, there was no way to solve it. On the other hand, even if a sufficient population size was gathered, it could not be used effectively.

come out.

However, after Chen Xi's advice, Masinde realized that in order to effectively utilize this advantage, there must be sufficient supporting facilities, and the construction of supporting facilities requires enough labor, and the deployment of a sufficient scale of labor requires

Abundant agricultural output.

After Masinde understood this, he immediately understood why the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River and the wide galloping road across the mountains in the southwest were prepared.

Kushan must die, because the Ganges River Basin can almost be considered the foundation of the Han Dynasty's transformation. Only with such a huge production base can more Han Dynasty people get out of agriculture and enter other industries.

This kind of thing may be difficult for other people to think of, but for the wise people who were born in Beigui, it is obvious. When the Yuezhi went south to enter India, the number of troops was less than 100,000, and the population was about 100,000.

Thousands, why in just one hundred years, the population has reached six million, and the available troops are close to one million.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just because of the agreement with Nangui that most people can be liberated from the heavy agriculture and animal husbandry and undergo military service training, so that the strength of the Da Yuezhi gradually surpasses that of Nangui, instead of being like

When I first came in, I had to compromise.

It is precisely because of this improvement in strength that in the previous generation, the Dayue clan had an amazing record of fighting all the way to Huashi City. Otherwise, with the less than 100,000 soldiers and horses back then, Nangui's people would be overwhelmed.

Da Yuezhi's men and horses drowned.

Although Masinde didn't understand what Chen Xi wanted to do, Chen Xi's position was to get more people out of the heavy agriculture and animal husbandry work and create more unemployed people. Then Masinde naturally understood the Ganges River Basin

importance to the Han Dynasty.

Chen Xi also saw that Masinde actually realized the logic of the improvement of the unemployed population and the accumulation of wealth in society, so he believed that Masinde was definitely worthy of an injection.

Although the two stand on completely different perspectives, Masinde simply plunders external sources to accumulate wealth and strengthen himself, while Chen Xi is more realistic in increasing the post-employment population, popularizing education, accumulating technology, and trying to advance the industrialization route.

.

But at least at the beginning, even from two angles, the two people's thinking was highly similar. They both wanted to capture the Ganges River and rely on high-yielding crops to invest more of the population that should have been invested in agricultural farming in other more effective ways.

industry.

Although Masinde wants to continue to expand his army, and then repeat the route...

How to put this route? Neither the Han Dynasty nor Rome could enter industrialization through external exploitation, because the scale of exploitation required through external exploitation was too large, and there were not so many people in the world who could exploit them.

Just like China cannot enter developed countries through the economic colonization of the world like Europe and the United States, because the world's population and resources are all concentrated, they cannot support a developed country of this scale.

The size of the Han Dynasty and Rome really needs to follow the British way of industrialization, which is based on colonial expansion providing a large amount of wealth, enclosing the land internally, leading to the exile of a large number of people, and providing cheap labor required for mass production.

If carried out.

The latter is actually not a big problem. Both the Han Dynasty and Rome can find ways to obtain a large amount of cheap labor. However, the real problem lies in a large amount of wealth.

How to describe this huge amount of wealth? Take Britain as an example. From the time it defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, became a real maritime hegemon, and gradually established a hegemony on which the sun never sets, it took a full two hundred years to barely save enough for the start of industrialization.

Capital.

At that time, Britain was just a country with a population of less than 6 million. It had exploited the world for two hundred years by saving up enough tickets for industrialization. It had caused countless tragedies around the world to collect the cost of trial and error. Is it difficult to use a steam engine? In fact, in Rome

Hero of the Times gave the direction.

Of course, some people say that the direction is useless. China already pointed out the technical direction of gas turbines during the Qin Dynasty, and it took two thousand years to figure out the finished product.

Mentioning this is more to say that if you have enough money, sufficient human resources, and crazy spending, humans could actually come up with this thing two thousand years ago.

However, history tells us that when there was enough money and human resources, it was already in the seventeenth century. Britain had been harvesting crazily in the world for two hundred years before it accumulated enough prerequisite resources. Yes, in the first industrialization

Before it appeared, it would be very difficult to industrialize, even to the point of despair.

After the first industrialization appeared, with the independent diffusion of industry, the difficulty was drastically reduced. All the technical costs, all the trial and error costs have been paid, and you only need to continue to move forward along the original technical direction.

Just go.

However, the situation that the Han Dynasty is facing now is the situation that Britain faced before the 18th century. If they want to industrialize, they must save money and have a unemployed population.

Let’s not talk about money. Unlike the situation faced by Britain, the whole world has been exploited by the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and there is not enough capital for trial and error.

So realistically, we can only take the second option, either to directly save 20% of the unemployed population and force industrialization, or to increase the unemployed population while popularizing education, and wait for education to complement technology, forming a cycle, relying on

It will take time to accumulate enough technology to enter overall industrialization.

But no matter which one, the agricultural output of the Ganges River Basin is an extremely important foundation. Without this, the upper limit of the unemployed population is already in sight.

When there is no way to industrialize, we can only use various primary agricultural machinery. The upper limit of agricultural product output is the upper limit of soil fertility, and the soil fertility of Han Dynasty is so high. One crop per year, the upper limit of unit area is locked, Chen Xi

To achieve the ultimate goal is to build a dojo inside a snail shell, which is meaningless.

On the contrary, the third crop in the Ganges River Basin has greatly increased the upper limit of output, giving Chen Xi the possibility to further increase the limit. This is also the reason why Chen Xi went to the Ganges River for research before.

After all, relying solely on the agricultural output of the Han Dynasty to accumulate wealth and industrialize it was too slow, even if it was in the right direction.

In the entire Central Plains, if we want to take the lead in industrialization, I am afraid that it is only possible during the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, it was not so much the Ming Dynasty, but the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Britain. Half of the wealth that exploited the world flowed into the Ming Dynasty.

.

It can be said that if that kind of inflow could continue for another two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty would probably have entered industrialization a little later than the United Kingdom. However, a first-mover country with 200 million people industrializing would be worse than a first-mover country with only 6 million people industrializing.

The country is much more frightening.

The question is how outrageous are the above preconditions? The Ming Dynasty almost continuously consumed more than 50% of the world's silver output, but it did not save enough start-up capital for industrialization after two hundred years. To be honest, this money was given to Europe.

Europe has been collectively industrialized enough, and size is indeed beneficial, but it is too big, and the resources required for change are outrageous.

According to the British, the wealth accumulated by exploiting the world for two hundred years was barely enough to start industrialization. The size of the Ming Dynasty required exploiting the world for five hundred years and eating more than half of the world's output every year before it was enough to gain entry to industrialization.

But the population of the Ming Dynasty only accounted for one-fifth of the world's population, and the Han Dynasty now accounts for almost one-third of the world's population. Chen Xi has completely given up the idea of ​​exploiting the world to support the Han Dynasty to enter industrialization. According to the current situation,

To follow the old British path, it would take at least ten Romes to be exploited by the Han Dynasty for a hundred or two hundred years. This is nonsense, so we can only take the second path.

Otherwise, it will be like building a steam engine, but the purpose is very narrow, it is a replaceable product, and there is no significance for promotion.

It is true that Chen Xi is here and can realize the value of this thing, but if there is no way to turn it into a necessity and no way for others to use it, it is just Chen Xi's toy. After Chen Xi leaves, it will be just a piece of debris that will be shelved in the cabinet.

That’s all.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi does not forcefully promote certain technologies. Just like the large-scale agriculture of the US empire, it is very good, but how many places can it be used in China? Does he not know whether it is good or bad?

I read a question yesterday. I think I will remember it for the rest of my life. It’s so outrageous. I haven’t seen such an outrageous situation in so many years. It’s the end of the month. Vote quickly. The author will update this weekend!!
