Detecting the existence of America is not the purpose.
It is not the purpose to detect the morphological condition of America and its economic potential.
Opening up routes is certainly not the purpose.
Even actually.
Migrating people is not the purpose either.
Turning more of the land's main population into Chinese Han people is the ultimate goal!
In other words, it was relatively easy for the Tang Dynasty to send a group of people across the sea to enter the Americas, but how to mobilize the Chinese people to migrate to the Americas was difficult to say.
Although everyone knows that this place is a sacred place, the actual situation is currently unknown. Once the news gets out, many people may be tempted, but not necessarily those who are really willing to go.
The more Li Er thought about this, the more he couldn't help but feel that it was indeed as Wei Zheng had thought. It seemed that a solution had to be found for this matter - otherwise the people of the Tang Dynasty would not be willing to go. If the Romans were willing to go, wouldn't this become a gang?
Has anyone else expanded their territory? It’s like a joke.
So after much thought, Li Er finally asked this question.
The question was asked out loud, but Li Er was still a little nervous in his heart.
America is not an easy place to attract people to go to. After all, everything is unfamiliar. There are only a few words from Li Sheng when he gave the map. What is the specific situation? After thinking about it, I know that most people don’t have the courage to go to the new world.
America is not easy to attract people to go to, the frozen soil north of Liaozhou.
But I don’t know how many people are willing to go?
If America is still unable to enter the "ascending channel" of stable development, then for ordinary people, it will be equivalent to spending time in the tundra zone north of Liaozhou.
How is this good? Of course this is not good. They will definitely not spend time in a place like this. Of course, the court can spend money to support them, but if they do this, they still won’t stay for too long.
Because no one would believe that the imperial court would keep inviting them to dinner.
This is only the first, the second, more important reason is that even though Datang has been spending money to support them.
And this group of people will not run away because they are worried about various problems in the bitter cold land, but those who can "not worry about the various adverse situations in the bitter cold land" and those who dare to go out and find the rich and powerful will definitely be interested.
The court would not have much loyalty either.
When the time comes to prosper in America, I don’t know when it will become a vassal town. What impact will it have on China? Maybe we can start fighting on our own first, so we still have to spend more money to find it.
Find someone more reliable. But how to do it specifically?
In fact, it's simple, just spend money and it's done. But the problem facing Li Er now is that he doesn't have that much money to spend.
So, the problem came to Li Sheng.
I have to say that Li Er felt really uncomfortable when he kept asking like this. After all, everything depends on the wisdom of future generations. Is it okay to keep doing this? It doesn’t seem right, but after all, it is the great cause of opening up the border that matters, so Li Er asked.
He looked at Li Sheng seriously and waited for Li Sheng's response.
But this time he asked, and then saw Li Sheng smile mysteriously.
"What kind of thing is this? Your Majesty just needs to mobilize a little and demonstrate the triangular trade to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Then it will naturally become popular. How can no one go?"
"Triangular trade?"
Li Er was startled when he heard this, "What is this triangular trade?"
"Triangular trade is actually," Li Sheng was about to explain casually, but suddenly he woke up and seemed unwilling to say this.
The triangular trade in history, to put it bluntly, is the history of those people in Western Europe who made a fortune by selling slaves and grabbing land at the same time, using the efforts gained from the trade to open manors on the stolen land.
Although this thing sounds very enviable, in the final analysis, they have succeeded in opening up the frontier. However, everything is very simple in the immediate term, but it is not so simple if you want to plan for the long term. The slave trade is temporarily satisfying, but it also directly leads to it.
Later, there was a problem with North America's population ratio.
Moral issues are nothing in the face of the great cause of life and death, but the hard core of this world is that morality is not just a fictitious thing, following morality means interests.
At that time, the Angsa people made a fortune by selling slaves and opening manors. However, later, a considerable number of blacks were included in the population of the Americas. What's more dangerous is that the birth rate of blacks was significantly higher than that of whites, which led to
one question.
No one is listening to the white regime in North America!
After all, a group must have a consensus to be able to organize and act together.
It's natural that black people are still the honest black slaves they were back then, but things are not that simple later on. People know the history, and they don't agree with you white people at all, and they still account for a considerable proportion of the population in North America.
What should you do at this time? This is the situation where there will be endless troubles.
Realizing this big hidden danger, Li Sheng smiled awkwardly and continued, "This triangular trade is just a folk allusion. This actually means that the Tang Dynasty still has a textile industry in the southeast area.
Wait, Your Majesty can try to transfer these things to America. In this way, America will not only benefit farmers, but also industry."
"There are two benefits to be gained, wouldn't there be someone there?"
After Li Sheng finished reporting, Li Er listened.
After thinking about it hard, there is really no problem with this logic. After all, the world is bustling with people. To put it bluntly, they are just chasing profits. But the problem is the textile industry, which is the core industry of the Tang Dynasty to earn overseas profits. Cloth is the trade of the Tang Dynasty.
Leading product.
If such good profits were transferred to the Americas, wouldn't Datang's profits be reduced by a large amount in the future?
Therefore, Li Er couldn't help but suddenly discovered that this seemed to be equivalent to spending a lot of money at once, and, in the long run, it seemed to be more expensive than spending money directly!
This made Li Erbai puzzled. Is this considered a strategy? Isn't this just like listening to your words?
After much thought, Li Er could not figure out the mystery, so he had no choice but to ask out his doubts again.
Li Er didn't have so many thoughts this time, because Li Sheng's plan itself did have huge problems!
No matter how the argument is made, it is like this. Even Wei Zheng and Chang Sun Wuji beside him nodded slightly, which shows how outrageous it is.
But after listening to Li Er's questioning, Li Sheng's tone became more relaxed.
"This is not easy. China's textile industry has been transferred out, and we can also develop high-end textile industry. Isn't this more profitable?"
"This is called completeness."
Li Sheng almost said "globalization", but after thinking about it for a moment, in this era, if the Tang Dynasty can touch the Americas, even if God has blessed it, it is still a little early, so I won't talk about it for now.
