What Lao Li means is that the army may not be strong, but it must be tough; the navy may not be tough enough, but it must be fierce.
...But after Li Sheng heard this, he still just smiled.
After all, the things Lao Li and others said... Although I don't know where these guys heard the gossip from, they are too familiar to me - in the era I lived in, what kind of disputes were there in the world?
This news was not caused by the navy of a certain country...
I have to say, those methods are really useful.
Although the practice of "a certain country" in later generations was often criticized and attacked, Li Shengda always had an appreciative attitude.
——With such an effective gameplay, why not China try it out?
For Li Sheng, these principles actually have no impact on Lao Li's ideas. So he said,
"Old Li...if you guys plan to do business in Panyu, I can tell you that you don't have to worry at all."
"Even if there are not many merchants to cooperate with you in the industrial chain, there will still be great potential in the future..."
Li Sheng said this with a slow smile, and Li Er and others were stunned for a moment when they heard it... Why did this suddenly involve merchants and what "industrial chain cooperation"... Speaking of, what is an industrial chain?
Why does it look familiar?...
Just when Li Er was confused, Wei Zheng suddenly kicked Li Er quietly under the table.
Li Er suddenly woke up. He was still playing the role of "Old Li", a merchant from Chang'an... He immediately woke up, scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "This... this is not..."
Seeing Li Er like this, Li Sheng sneered disdainfully, "Okay, okay, they are all doing business. It's not wrong to want to make easier, what's the point of pretending?"
"As for the matter itself, you really don't have to worry about it... Although there is nothing in Panyu, as long as it is really developed, the future will be limitless... When the time comes, you can do business with whatever is lacking in this place. At that time,
This is called the advantage of the entire industry chain..."
"As for why, you will know in the future anyway. And because of this reason, the imperial court actually does not need to spend so much effort. It only needs to repair and widen the roads in this area so that they can accommodate large and small vehicles, people and animals... In the future
As long as it develops, you can rest assured."
"this……"
Li Er and others were originally confused, but everyone couldn't help but be surprised by Li Sheng's explanation...
Is it that simple?!
As long as roads are built, this area will become rich... This is true or false, it is simply unbelievable.
After much deliberation, I haven't seen this yet...
"Sir, how come the people are rich when the road is built? Isn't it like carving a boat to ask for a sword?"
Li Er couldn't help but ask.
But in fact... what Li Er wanted to say was not to ask for a sword, but he didn't even know how to ask. This was too outrageous. Isn't this what a actor said?
But when Li Er said this, Li Sheng still just smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? It takes nearly ten days and nights to travel by sea from Hangzhou to Southeast Bay. But what about starting from Panyu? It only takes one or two days and nights.
It's all about making money everywhere... Why don't merchants come to Panyu to do it? What's more... the people in Panyu have been poor for a long time, and they are obviously more motivated to engage in production than in Hangzhou. Sooner or later they will get rich... Your Majesty
But there is nothing to worry about.”
"This..." Li Er was choked by Li Sheng and his head froze, but when he thought about it carefully the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face... Li Sheng actually meant that Panyu itself... is very suitable for doing business.
The qualifications of this place... After thinking about it for a while, Li Er suddenly became enlightened.
That's right... why develop Panyu? Isn't it because this place is close to the sea, especially to the south, which makes it easy to contact overseas countries? Since it has this advantage, how can Panyu not be able to develop its economy?
Of course... Li Er is not an idiot. It is impossible for him to be unclear about such a simple matter and not think of this, but... But in fact, Li Er just didn't think of this. The reason...
It's not complicated to say. This principle actually made sense in the Tang Dynasty. However, before... Panyu was just like many poor places in China.
Although each has some advantages, after all, it is remote...and truly remote. Not only are the roads poor, but also because the location is too remote, it has no military value as a mountain and river victory.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable how difficult it is to improve people's livelihood, and the imperial court certainly does not have the money to take care of such places. As for the origin of this problem, some of the specialties and values of these areas themselves...
It's very simple. Feeding the local people at the minimum level is already trying your best...and sometimes, the products in some places do have special value, but because there is no market to realize such value, it ends up being
Completely lose value.
This is the case in Panyu. It is true that there is a coastline, but... its value is the value of fishery. No matter how much it is, it is really out of the question.
This has been considered common sense in China since ancient times... I don't know for tens of thousands of years, and it has been considered common sense until now. It can't even be called common sense, but a certain ideological parameter that has been solidified in the subconscious.
Because of the existence of such common sense, Li Er didn't realize what Li Sheng said for a long time...
Indeed, being valuable may not be able to be realized, this is an old rule that has been passed down for many years, but now...
This old rule no longer applies, because Datang has railways!
The exaggerated transport capacity of this thing, Li Er is now, not only fully understood, but also fully utilized, greatly improving the intensity of economic convection and the stability of military supplies in the Tang Dynasty - the improvement is not ordinary.
And just like what was done before... Datang initially built two railways, one vertical and one horizontal, without spending a lot of money. Firstly, it was to strengthen centralization, increase the intensity of control of Chang'an's military power, and achieve imperial power in the county... Secondly, it was
For the strength of economic convection - as we all know, the reason why credit currency has become popular in the modern world is not because modern centralization is stronger than in ancient times, but because credit currency is truly indispensable in the modern economic system.
——Multiplier effect.
Once the multiplier effect of credit money is lost, high-intensity deflation can destroy the entire modern economic system within a week.
Another thing that corresponds to the multiplier effect... is the common KPI of most modern regimes.
This modern regime has a common KPI, one of which is well known, which is GDP.
There is another thing that ordinary people know less about, but it is closely related to GDP, and that is the capital turnover rate.
