Chapter 698: Never forget the Western Regions
capitalist society?
Everyone was stunned again, hearing the term "heart" again, but they didn't know what it meant.
When Qin An heard this, he sighed and said: "Lao Xiang, I said that capitalist society is the progress of the times, but it is also the beginning of all evil.
Because in a capitalist society, everything is about money. Capital explains in detail what capitalist society is.
It's hard for me to explain this matter, and our country is a socialist country, so there is a big difference between the two.
The next stage of capitalism is socialism, but if you want to advance successfully, the capitalists are the biggest obstacle.
Capitalists control most industries in the world and can control state power.
I told you before that the Western powers fought a food war with China and finally lost to China. However, the people fighting a food war with us were not Western countries, but actually Western capitalists.
However, it is impossible to achieve true fairness in society. Capitalists will appear sooner or later as time goes by, and they will also perish as time goes by.
Our country implements the policy of working more and getting more, working less and getting less, and working hard and getting nothing. Therefore, as long as you work hard, you can become a rich person.
Even if you can't become a capitalist, you can live a well-off life.
Father-in-law and father-in-law, "Das Kapital" is still too early for you, because from what I know, you have inherited everything from the Great Qin Dynasty and are currently in the stage of advancing from slave society to feudal society.
Feudal society was already a top-level social system during the Qin Dynasty. Even ancient Rome, Persia, the Maurya Dynasty and other countries are currently slave societies.
So you don’t need to study Capital at all, but if you are a businessman, you can study it. "
"You mean this book is for businessmen?" Li Si said,
"You can't say that." Qin An said, "It is written for people who can understand it. To be honest, in this book "Das Kapital", I can understand some parts, and I can't understand some parts.
So, father-in-law, don't ask me about "Das Kapital". I can only say that everyone has his or her own understanding.
Some people regard it as a sacred book that they have learned all their lives, and some people regard it as a book of warning.
The person who wrote this book aimed to criticize capitalists and capitalist society and seek welfare for the working people.
Other countries have not done it, but China has done it, and therefore China is often targeted. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then I have to read this book. Maybe I can make it happen from ten miles and eight towns."
"The village chief can definitely do it," Li Si said.
"We believe in the village chief." Zhang Han and others said at the same time.
Qin An smiled and said: "Father-in-law, I also hope you can do it, but you can't rush this matter. I said that everything must be done technically.
The development of science and technology determines the strength of a country. "
Qin An nodded and said: "The development of science and technology is indeed crucial, but before that, we need to develop commerce and agriculture, especially the business tax system of the Song Dynasty and the land-sharing system as the top priority."
"Father-in-law is right." Qin An said with a smile, "Things have to be done step by step. Regarding "Das Kapital", we can wait until the villages in Shili and Baxiang are really developed. They will be at least ten times and a hundred times richer than the current Zhao family village. .”
"Are you going to be that rich?" Li Si said.
Others were also shocked.
Qin An nodded.
Seeing that Qin An didn't know much about Capital, Ying Zheng immediately changed the subject and said, "Qin An, how long did you say the Persian dynasty existed?"
"I really don't know this, but the name Persia still existed in the Song Dynasty, and it also existed in the Han Dynasty.
Father-in-law, why do you suddenly ask this? Qin An asked.
Ying Zheng said: "Before coming, I searched the documents of the imperial court and found a country called the Parthian Kingdom. They claimed to be
The Parthian Kingdom belonged to the Persian Dynasty, so I was very confused. "
Qin An thought for a while and said: "It is possible that the Persian dynasty split and then became several countries. Each country has a country name. You can say that you are a member of the Persian dynasty.
Just like what happened in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, it was the Zhou Dynasty in name, but each country had its own country name.
However, the Zhou Dynasty will not be destroyed, and these countries can only be regarded as vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty. "
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng asked, "So, in addition to Parthia, there are many vassal states in Persia?"
"There should be quite a few."
"I understand." Ying Zheng said, "If the First Emperor knew about this, would he send troops to attack the countries in the Western Region and finally bring down the Persian Dynasty?"
Qin An shook his head and said, "No, otherwise he wouldn't be able to build the Great Wall."
Ying Zheng sneered and said: "Chang'an was built to resist the Xiongnu, Donghu and other foreign tribes."
"That's it, if you want to attack the Western Region, you must first completely destroy the Xiongnu, or drive them away directly.
Otherwise, how could the First Emperor send his army to the Western Regions?
Second, the countries in the Western Regions were too far away from the Qin Dynasty, and the consumption on the way was too great, which the court could never afford.
Don't forget, Da Qin still has a large army in the land of Baiyue. ..
I still say the same thing, develop your own domestic affairs first, and then think about foreign affairs. "
"Is there nothing we can do?" Ying Zheng asked, "Are we just watching helplessly as the countries in the Western Regions continue to exist?
The First Emperor had the ambition to expand the territory, otherwise he would not have attacked Baiyue. "
Qin An nodded and said, "That's true. If the First Emperor didn't have such ambition, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to unify the six countries.
In fact, the target method, as I have said before, is to use economic aggression, and then arrange detailed investigations in various countries to investigate the affairs of each country.
After the Qin Dynasty became stronger and stronger, it was too late to attack the Western Regions. In fact, it is not difficult to attack the Western Regions. The difficulty is how to control the Western Regions.
In history, many dynasties have controlled the Western Regions, but what is the use? In the end, it was not out of control. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You are right. Is there any way to completely control the entire Western Region?"
Qin An thought for a while and said: "History has never found any dynasty that completely controlled the entire Western Region.
If you follow what I said, there are two ways to control the Western Region, one is control by force and the other is economic control. "
"Can't you control both at the same time?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Of course, control by force means control with absolute force, and economic control is what I said before, doing business with the countries in the Western Region and controlling the economic lifeline of the countries in the Western Region.
For example, buy their wool, buy their horses, and exchange with them the goods they need.
Another thing they absolutely agree with is to arrange all the royal families of various countries to Xianyang City, and the imperial court will send people there to manage the various countries.
At the same time, let people from various countries engage in intermarriage and so on to break them up. "
