While they continue to invest in war, their counterparts in Europe across the strait are making crazy profits.
They have been busy here for a long time, aren't they making wedding clothes for others?
Although war investment is the most profitable investment, it is also the highest risk investment.
This is a group of the smartest people, and also a group of the most selfish and sophisticated egoists.
They don't even have any national concept. In their eyes, they only have capital.
Their only loyal object is capital.
Because this is a group of wandering people in Europe.
They were discriminated against by local white people and were not allowed to own fixed assets.
After a long period of time, they changed from a group of loan sharks to bankers who control the financial lifeline of Europe.
They indirectly control some countries by controlling their currency.
This is how these people survive.
Each country's government has its spokespersons.
Even a powerful country like Great Britain still has their spokesmen everywhere.
Many countries love and hate them and resist them, but there is no way to keep them out.
But there is a force in this world that has been excluding them.
This force is the Renaissance Army.
A long time ago, these people sent people to the East to find spokespersons.
The Taiping Rebellion gave them hope.
The Qing court was closed to foreigners and they didn't have the slightest chance.
At first they wanted to invest in the Taiping Army. But this group of people was also very exclusive.
Moreover, the Taiping Army's model makes it difficult for them to control it.
Later, they found Huai Haijun, who was already somewhat eye-catching at that time.
But Dong Shuheng was inexplicably repelled by the funds and support that came to his door.
It is difficult for them to imagine how a warlord could reject funds and weapons.
Later, until the rise of the Renaissance Army, these people were not able to extend their tentacles into this force.
Nowadays, the Great China Circle built by the Renaissance Army has become a behemoth like a giant.
When many people thought that the Renaissance Army was going to establish a huge colony, what the Renaissance Army did made them confused.
But they were all wrong.
What Dong Shuheng really wants to build is a community.
What surprised these big financiers the most was that Dong Shuheng actually built a market.
An extremely huge market.
He carried out industrial division of labor among the various countries within his power.
Some places specialize in the production of raw materials, while others carry out deep processing and develop manufacturing industries.
Some places specialize in the most core research and development work.
Some places purely export labor force.
No powerful country has ever made such an attempt.
Even an overlord like the Great Empire owned many colonies. What they did to the colonies was just plundering.
This may be influenced by the European colonial tradition.
Their development of the colony was limited to setting up plantations and mining.
And they always impose heavy taxes on the colonies. They treat the colonies as blood-sucking objects.
The Renaissance Army is not like this. They import precious local manpower into new territories, rather than building colonies into prisons for criminals like the Great War.
The Renaissance Army went in the opposite direction, preferring to slow down the development of the local area and develop new territories.
At the beginning, those Europa elites didn't understand it.
They thought Dong Shuheng must be crazy.
It was not until the Renaissance Army established the Greater China Circle and established a free trade market.
It dawned on them.
It turns out that what Dong Shuheng really wants to establish is a new market.
The new areas developed with the support of the Baath Army were not impoverished places.
These new markets are all following the path of industrialization. Even the local agriculture consists of farms of various sizes, implementing a large-scale planting model.
And Dong Shuheng is not stingy at all in investing in local infrastructure. In wild places like Xinhua Island, he uses his decision-making power in the West Pacific Company.
This prompted the company to build complete port facilities on the island.
Originally, everyone in the company felt that the construction of this port was a little ahead of its time, and there was no need for such a large port here.
But now they have discovered rich mahogany resources locally, which is the best raw material for furniture.
The value of this port was immediately reflected.
Now that Lu Shun has established the West Pacific branch in Beiao, the role of this port located in the southern part of Xinhua Island has suddenly become highlighted.
In an inaccessible place like Western Canada, Dong Shuheng had people build a road from Zhuzhou and Dongzhou to the central Great Lakes area.
Although so far, there are only a few hundred thousand Chinese pioneer groups here.
There was definitely no profit from building roads at this time, but he still mobilized resources from the local area to build the roads.
With road connections, new settlements can be established.
This is using investment to stimulate the market.
The economy is so weird sometimes, it seems to be doing a useless thing.
But it actually created production value.
For example, the road from Zhuzhou to Big Bear Lake in Hubei Province.
Construction requires a lot of money, manpower and material resources.
Manpower is recruited from the mainland, Fuso and the peninsula.
Some of the food these people eat is purchased from local pioneer groups, and some is purchased from farms in the Far East and outside China.
Food in these places is grown on a large scale. People who grow food do not need so much food. They have to sell the food.
In addition, road construction also requires explosives, building materials and other supplies. Some of these materials are obtained locally and some are shipped from local factories.
Part of the workers' wages is paid by the government, and part is deducted from the land developed along the way.
In this process, what the government pays is currency, land and various resources.
The currency is issued by the Baath Army itself. The issuance of these currencies requires gold and silver as reserves.
Western Canada has the most important gold mines.
Gold prospectors here must sell the mined gold to the government and are not allowed to sell it to others.
The government can use this gold to issue several times more currency.
These currencies must first be spent from the government.
How to spend it, this is back to the beginning. The government invests in building roads.
In this process, some people mine gold, some produce food, some produce gunpowder, building materials and various road construction machinery and equipment, and some specialize in selling their labor force.
Everyone is doing something. As long as those who produce food produce enough food for everyone to enjoy, and those who produce equipment can meet the needs of other production, those who build roads can continue to build roads.
The government's issuance of currency only connects these divisions of labor and allows the flow of things produced by each industry.
This is the magic of the market.
It can mobilize everyone and allow everyone to create value according to the division of labor, thus promoting the development of society.
This process seems a bit mysterious.
In fact, everyone divides the labor and then exchanges the value they create.
Some people produce food, which needs to be enough for everyone, some people produce machines and equipment, some people carry out construction, and some people are responsible for fighting wars and protecting other people.
By allocating currency to these people, the state allows these people to exchange for what they need in such a system.
When the country issues currency, it also needs to consider the actual situation, because if too much is issued, some people will not be able to buy things.
Then the price of this item will increase because there is less of it and everyone wants it, so there will be bidding.
When there is too much money, there is another situation that can be solved.
That is, your currency can also buy things outside this system.
Then this currency needs to be recognized by others. At that time, the currency recognized by everyone was real gold and silver.
Therefore, currency issuance needs to be based on real gold and silver.
In this way, when a certain item is not enough within the Greater China Circle, it can be purchased from other markets.
Such an organic system will naturally become larger and more stable as the division of labor becomes more detailed.
Because a detailed division of labor can give the market more time to react and allow the market to make self-corrections.
For example, if the output of a certain part of the system cannot meet the demand, it can be supplemented from other places.
Dong Shuheng grasped this point and kept letting the Fuxing Army take the lead in spending money.
All kinds of construction basically never stopped.
Although the lives of the people under the rule seemed to have improved. Even people in places like Peninsula, Fuso and Annan were able to have enough to eat through work.
But everyone is living a very busy life. Factory workers still work long hours, and in the farmland, farmers still face the loess with their backs to the sky.
Although their lives have improved, they are still busier than before.
In the past, farmers' parents only had a small amount of land. When the farm work was finished, if they were lucky, they could find some part-time jobs. If they were unlucky, they could only live at home.
It is difficult for this situation to happen now. On the one hand, the average land on each person's head has increased.
On the other hand, during slack times, most people go to work on various road construction and water conservancy construction sites to make money.
With the money they earn, they can buy building materials to rebuild their houses and new production tools.
Can have more children.
Dong Shuheng has studied the saying that labor creates value very thoroughly.
If we want to create more value, we naturally cannot let people idle. We need to get everyone involved, and we must improve production efficiency so that people can create more value in the same time.
Dong Shuheng could do this, but the Great Empire, which also had a large territory, could not do this.
The main reason is that they do not have that large native population.
Without the ability to export large-scale populations to new territories, there can be no development.
Even if it is developed, it may be used to make wedding clothes for others.
In an ordinary-looking manor outside London, a party was taking place.
The party room was decorated very quaintly, and the decorations on the walls and the yellowed wooden floors showed how old the building was.
Apart from a deer head with empty eyes, there was only a simple ticking wall clock on the wall of the room.
There were five men of different ages sitting around a round table covered with a white tablecloth. The oldest of them was in his seventies, and his thin hair was almost completely white.
The youngest is in his forties.
They all wore black dresses, which seemed to be very ordinary in terms of workmanship. There were no gorgeous decorations on the clothes, except for a button-sized badge on the collar.
They all wear the same ring on their hands, with the same pattern on the ring.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about this pattern, it just looks like an ancient gold coin from a distance.
These people look different from the authentic Chinese people.
His skin is slightly darker than that of Chinese people, and he looks not much different from Arabs. He also has black eyes and black hair. Even older people can tell that his original hair is black.
If they stand up and you look closely, you can see that these people have longer upper bodies and shorter lower bodies.
This is the characteristic of their nation, and only people of this tribe with pure blood can maintain relatively complete national characteristics.
As a wandering nation, those who can maintain their pure bloodline are undoubtedly some big families.
This shows that the status of these people is not low.
"Everyone, the Republic of China may really not be a match for the Renaissance Army. We have to consider whether to support the continuation of this war." Unexpectedly, the youngest middle-aged man was the first to speak.
This man has no beard on his face, his cheeks are thin, and his cheekbones are prominent, but his eyes are long and thin like those of others.
"It's a pity that that Eastern country doesn't cooperate with us, otherwise it wouldn't be wrong for us to support them."
"It's impossible. They are a group of people who don't even have religious beliefs and will not accept us. When we proposed such generous conditions, they didn't agree. Now that they have developed to this level, it is even more impossible to cooperate with us.
." said a fat, bald man.
The young man continued: "The Temple government has lost the trust of the people. It turns out that we have misjudged this person. He only talks about rhetoric. A good empire on which the sun never sets will be destroyed in his hands.
"
At this time, the oldest man said: "Actually, you can't blame Temple. He has done much more than the previous prime ministers, but the opponent he encountered this time is too strong. I heard John say that even if it is a gathering
The power of the entire Europa may not be able to defeat the opponent."
"Furthermore, have you noticed that every time Da Ying's fleet fails, it is because the other party uses new weapons. I heard that the president of the East has a book of prophecy in his hands. Otherwise, why are they always able to create new weapons?
.Also, they are obviously a backward Eastern country, why did they develop to such an extent in such a short period of time."
After hearing this, the youngest man sneered: "The book of prophecy? Hahaha, it's hard to believe that those yellow people can still get God's blessing. This is all nonsense. That country is not a weak country. The Spaniards are in Afghanistan."
Almost all the silver that Milia has mined for hundreds of years has gone somewhere. So they are not short of money at all. In addition, their population is so large that even if it takes 10,000 people to have one smart person, the number of smart people in their country
Quite a few.”
He sneered and brought the topic back: "Okay, let's discuss some more realistic things."
