While the war on the frontline of the main island still continues, the Tang Dynasty is not idle either. What is happening within the Tang Dynasty? Tang Mo is undergoing a large-scale reform.
He drafted a series of more stringent production management standards for Datang Group, similar to the ISO9001 international quality management system standard implemented in Western countries, to standardize his group management and ensure that his numerous branches can be more orderly and high-quality
continue to develop.
Datang Group cannot continue to grow disorderly and barbarically. It needs to improve itself and maintain its own virtuous cycle in constant expansion.
This set of things was implemented in internal experiments a long time ago, then piloted, and finally began to be popularized and standardized. All processes are executed in accordance with the specifications, so that management can follow the law.
For Tang Mo, instead of deceiving others and expecting others to make major mistakes in their judgment, it is better to strengthen himself and make himself invulnerable. Only when he is invincible can he have the capital to expect his opponents to make mistakes and reveal flaws.
The Western way of playing is really too vulgar. Tang Mo is a person who cares more about the development of his own hard power. He firmly believes that blacksmithing requires hard work, so he is unwilling to follow the old path of Western capital.
These people, in the final analysis, are just cheap. Back then, 40 million rabbits lived a small farmer's life, eating vegetables, sweet potatoes and potatoes, weaving their own cloth and wearing their own clothes. They had no industry, no money, and were harmless to humans and animals... But these people came to beat you.
The rabbit's face was covered with blood.
If you don't buy their stuff, they'll sell you opium. If you object, they'll hit you in the face with a cannon. Later, they'll complain about the rabbit's isolation. Let the rabbit open the door to bring warmth to the rabbit, to modern times, and to the so-called industrial civilization.
.
A hundred years later, these same people will still be trying their best to persuade rabbits to industrialize, trying to persuade rabbits to stop eating meat and eat more vegetables, and shamelessly fabricating lies to let rabbits return to the farming life of a hundred years ago.
.
Well, for what? To wait for the rabbits to believe their lies, go back to eat grass, waste all the industries, throw away all the weapons, and beat you again to force you to buy opium from them again...
Isn’t it interesting? Anyone who can think of doing this must be a logic genius, right? In fact, they have done this in many countries, and they have succeeded.
First support a group of agents, or simply call them compradors, and use money and gold plating to let them control the right to speak. Then they start talking nonsense and guide public opinion in the direction they want.
Why participate in the world's division of labor, give up heavy industry for environmental protection, and stop eating meat for the sake of forests... In short, through deception, people will be deceived first, and then they will use capital to completely eliminate each other, reducing the other party's dimensionality to primitive society.
To seize these two things, food and minerals.
Making money is not shabby.
If your family has a mine, I will use food to appease you, and let you mine and sell your family property honestly. If your family does not have a mine, then I will use food to stir up internal strife and consume you. If you don’t have a mine, why would you support so many people?
As for you farming your own land to get rid of grain control, digging your own mines and preparing to make some pots, pans, tractors and refrigerators... Well, that's a good idea, but the country that does this will have grass growing on its grave.
In fact, instead of shamelessly saying that it is unbearable for the world to let every rabbit live the life of an eagle, it is better to honestly make the cake bigger and let us all rush to the future together!
The Lighthouse Country has no such ambition. Looking at the world, they will only kill those who want to eat more meat and trample under their feet those who want to share the cake.
But in fact, once someone makes the cake bigger, once someone starts to lead the poor towards a prosperous future, hegemons like the Lighthouse State will be abandoned, eventually fall and become the dust of history.
Everyone supports the leader who leads them to make the cake bigger and everyone can eat the cake. History will make the most correct choice! The Tang Empire obviously needs to learn the lessons of the Lighthouse Country and choose to make the cake bigger.
This is the way to go.
Tang Mo has been making the cake bigger since the emergence of Datang Group. As long as he keeps making the cake bigger, there will be countless vested interests on his side.
Even if what he is planning to overthrow is the feudal monarchy system in this world, even if what he is planning to kill is the old aristocracy, gentry, and landlord class.
As long as there is an imbalance in the distribution of resources, human commercial activities cannot completely stop, and barter is essentially a primitive business model.
When there is commerce and transactions, there will be a class that is not engaged in production. Therefore, it is impossible for Tang Mo to directly hand over the means of production to the hands of ordinary people. Under this objective necessity, Tang Mo can only eliminate it and become more degenerate.
The old class is more decadent, and a new class is built that is more advanced, efficient and cruel.
Commercial activities cannot be eliminated, and market transactions cannot be replaced temporarily, so businessmen cannot be eliminated. These people will eventually master more means of production, which is inevitable.
Businessmen who control the means of production also bear the risks of the production transaction itself, and what they earn is the profit from taking the risk.
Of course, in order to avoid this risk, businessmen will strengthen themselves and expand their funds to an amount that can avoid risks. They will condense and refine through constant devouring and elimination, and the surviving ones will continue to become stronger and bigger.
…
This is a rule, and it is also a kind of self-destruction. Eventually, a monopoly will be formed, and interest groups will become intertwined. They will transfer all risks, leaving only huge profits for themselves.
Greed drives them to continuously expand the market and allow unmonitored trading to destroy everything: this is their ultimate goal, even if they die together.
On the one hand, they promote consumerism and squeeze the remaining funds of the entire society; on the other hand, they exploit layers of people to reduce expenses and obtain greater profits.
On the one hand, it forces people to work non-stop so that they can produce more materials; on the other hand, it forces people to keep consuming so that they can digest the extra products! In the whole process, the only thing that keeps being
What is elevated is human desire, because human desire has no upper limit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You see, people who advise you to lie down may not have good intentions. They just want you to take a rest and slowly cultivate a new round of consumer sentiment; advise you
Those who work hard are not necessarily doing it for your own good, they just want you to create more products and increase your total wealth.
They are all sincere, their reasons are very good, and they all have a lot of truths that ordinary people cannot understand. However, while they are working hard to make money, and at the same time spending money recklessly... in the end, the people themselves cannot afford to be hurt.
This in itself is a paradox: the oppressed and exploited grassroots are swallowed up by the desire to elevate and enter confusion. Desire drains their lives and stirs up crazy emotions.
In the end, the people are living in dire straits and the world collapses. Those fat and strong capital predators hide in the mire, waiting for the bloody storm to subside, and then surface to seize the fruits of victory: they are hungry! Hibernation makes them lose weight, and they need to devour more.
Get fatter with more nutrients!
Tang Mo didn't know how to fight against such a force, because he was the most insignificant one in this force in his previous life! Even though he was very successful, he was still the most insignificant vassal of this force, and could only be coerced.
Stopped cycle.
But here, he seemed to see something that could contain such power: Datang Group was the most advantageous weapon to contain the expansion of this power.
As an emperor, he controls a huge amount of capital, and personally goes out to crush the initial capital that is trying to expand. He devours and digests them, and then spreads out the tiny seeds to grow new leeks.
These leeks are not the people, not the grassroots, but all the new aristocrats, rich people, businessmen... and even bureaucrats who dream of becoming capital.
This model is based on the golden finger in Tang Mo's mind that can guide him to constantly innovate technology. With this advantage, he can monopolize everything and repeatedly destroy opponents who try to challenge Datang Group!
However, this road will not be smooth, and Tang Mo's cheating tactics will eventually collapse with his death.
His sons cannot do such operations, and his grandsons are destined to be counterattacked. In the fierce shock, the empire may even be destroyed!
Another serious problem is that Tang Mo's tactics of pitting "imperial businessmen" against "civilian businessmen" and using larger capital to destroy capital will breed corruption.
This is the same as state-owned assets: the Datang Group controlled by Tang Mo himself was actually an "imperial merchant" and a super "state-owned enterprise" within the Datang Empire.
It can even be said that the Tang Empire established by Tang Mo has the meaning of "an empire disguised as a company". Because the emperor himself is capital itself, the will of the country is the will of capital!
However, huge size is a competitive advantage, but it is also a competitive disadvantage: huge size can easily breed corruption, and laziness and mediocrity are inevitable degeneration in development.
Tang Mo can use technological updates to constantly replace new blood. Lazy workers will be replaced by newly trained skilled workers, and lazy skilled workers will be replaced by newly trained automated machinery skilled workers...
But things like this will keep happening and continue. Tang Mo can keep dragging the decaying Datang Group forward, but others don't have this ability.
Strong companies such as Toyota and Honda will also show their weakness in the field of new energy vehicles due to laziness. The advanced Lockheed Martin and Boeing will also lose their power and sharpness due to laziness. But Datang Group will not. Datang Group with Tang Mo’s existence,
Won't.
Even if he stopped now and waited ten or twenty years, there would not be a competitor to the Tang Empire in this world.
The Datang Group, like the Cyric Consortium, will be invincible in the next few decades or even hundreds of years. But the Datang Group will eventually weaken after losing Tang Mo, and will be dismembered and destroyed at the hands of Tang Mo's descendants.
segmentation.
But he can't stop all this from happening: now he still has to rely on the Datang Group to confront the aristocrats, landlords, and gentry whose capital destroyed the old world. He doesn't have the determination and perseverance to prepare for a rainy day and solve the big problem that the Datang Group cannot lose, nor does he have the leisure and leisure
Think about whether your descendants can control this monster.
Just like the Tang Dynasty in the earth's civilization, when Jiedushi was guarding the border and fighting bloody battles to give peace to the Central Plains dynasty, which emperor would think about "cutting down the vassal"? Just like the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty,
Who among the Zhao officials, who are strong in leadership and weak in leadership, value civility over military affairs, are worried about the outcome of Yashan?
After all, people are humans, not gods. Tang Mo is no exception. His ability to push the world from a semi-feudal and semi-slavery system to a feudal system, or to a semi-feudal and semi-capital state is already his limit.
As for whether this system is the best and whether it can make the Tang family last forever... To be honest, he hasn't thought that far yet.
He has not yet conquered Liuhe and unified the world, and has not let the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty run over every inch of land. How can he be in the mood to sit on his throne and think about other things?
Those who think that we must have a good system and a set of good rules, and then conquer the four directions to unify the world can get twice the result with half the effort, they take it for granted.
The fact is: as long as the system we come up with when we fight for the world is better and more advantageous than the current system, that's fine. As for whether the set of things we come up with is perfect enough... you are overthinking it.
From a certain perspective, this world is a worse world: as long as your opponent is worse, you can win the competition. Sometimes the competition is not who is stronger, but who rots slower.
