"One of us is a down-and-out wild samurai, and the other is a rogue gambler like dirt... It was you who raised us from the grassroots!"
"Who would have thought! We can actually achieve such a glorious cause! After the Fortress Project, our Chinese nation will truly become the world's top power!"
"We are lucky to be able to follow our father in this life... Wuwuwu!"
The two were so moved that they couldn't restrain their emotions and cried loudly, "We were originally untouchables! We were untouchables! But today we can be on an equal footing with the shogun..."
This wine was really messed up, not a single cold dish was served, and there were already people on the table laughing and crying!
But today no one dares to laugh at these drunkards, because anyone who knows the details of the fortress plan knows how difficult and terrifying this plan is!
The first batch of 28 industrial zones. You can call these places industrial zones. In fact, you can also say that they are completely new cities. They are a state within a state in the Qing Dynasty, and they are the nail in the most economically prosperous region of China. !
Since it is an industrial zone, it is naturally dominated by industry. The status of industry in the 19th century, especially heavy industry, is equivalent to the economic status of the chip industry, aviation, biopharmaceuticals, the Internet and other top industries in the 21st century!
Heavy industry has been the pinnacle of the entire country's economic pyramid for a long time! What are the benefits of this spire? That’s monopoly profiteering!
In the 21st century, the steel industry requires production capacity reduction and environmental protection, but in the 19th century, anyone who dared to say this would have been sprayed to death with spittle the next day!
Capacity reduction? Industrial products with multiple profits, or an industry with monopoly sales that exceeds supply. Are you going to reduce production capacity?
Looking for environmental protection? The enemy's artillery is already stationed at the gate of your country, who are you talking to about environmental protection?
The most profitable industries in this era are concentrated in industrial zones, which will bring about a strong wealth effect! Cheap coal and iron are transported in, and cheap labor is flooded. In the end, industrial products with dozens of times the profit are produced, and then dumped out!
Wherever there is money, there will be prosperity and opportunities to make money. The merchant class of the entire Qing Dynasty will be the first to follow. They will defy the Manchus and bow to the Chinese!
Even if the businessmen take refuge, the people will not be able to escape. The income of workers working in industrial zones is ten times or even a hundred times that of farmers!
The money earned in a month is more than what people in my hometown can earn from farming in a year. This strong contrast in wealth will definitely shock the local area and even impact the traditional rural social order!
Young people who can earn factory money will become heroes from all over the country. He can choose the most beautiful wife at will, build the best house, and his children will also receive education and improve their social status in the future!
This is actually a gap between the rich and the poor. In the past, the Confucian clan controlled everything, and it will be unable to resist the impact of the tide of money!
Then the landlord class, the largest support camp for the feudal dynasty, will collapse from the bottom under the offensive of money!
After the local landlords, clans, and Confucian scholars cannot control the hearts of the people in the countryside, the building of China's feudal dynasty will truly collapse!
And this trend is irreversible, because no matter how you slander or resist in the countryside, the money from other factories is real!
The Northern Special Economic Zone in Tanggu is a living example. In the first few years, it also suffered a very serious crisis of trust!
The land could not be acquired, and not many workers could be recruited. Even the surrounding people, misled by Confucianism, were unwilling to do business with the factory!
But this kind of resistance can't last at all, and lies can't resist the magic of the shining silver dollar!
When everyone in villages such as Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang has silver in their hands, and when that kind of real wealth is in the eyes of the surrounding people, people's hearts can no longer be locked up!
Your family has been saving for ten years, built three thatched houses, and saved ten ounces of copper coins. You thought it was enough to find a wife for your son!
But I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law, who was already in love, asked a young man working in the factory to cut off her beard with a gift of fifty silver dollars!
Are you angry? Are you unwilling? Do you want an explanation? Do you still want to file a lawsuit and seek redress?
However, in an industrial zone with the power to garrison troops, no matter where the Qing Dynasty officials dared to offend, any criminal behavior against workers would have the right to exercise justice in the industrial zone!
Those who hurt others will be punished, and those who kill will pay with their lives. There is no mercy here, and no one will pity you!
At the very beginning, this kind of conflict happened one after another, and serious violent cases did occur!
But they are short-lived. This kind of resistance and resistance is completely futile in the face of the rolling tide of the times, because you can never change the wealth gap between workers and farmers!
Times have changed. Humanity is entering an industrial society in an all-round way, and the order of agricultural civilization will be wiped out!
People will eventually face reality, and those who resisted before will gradually enter the factory to learn to accept their fate and adapt to this new era!
It is in this process of conflict, reconciliation, conflict, and reconciliation that the people in the surrounding areas, with the Northern Special Economic Zone as the core, have changed!
As the new trend of Western learning spreads into the people, it becomes increasingly difficult for the original Confucian clan power to survive!
The CIA once conducted a survey and found that if a war broke out between the Chinese and the Qing Dynasty at this time, at least 60% of the people in Tianjin would side with the Chinese!
And the closer it is to the industrial area, the higher the support ratio, because this is a kind of economic dependence!
Relying on the super large economy of the industrial zone, even if you are just a small marginal business, you can send some eggs to sell there every day! You also make much more money than outside!
No one will be the enemy of a prosperous life. In the face of the righteousness that the Qing Dynasty thinks, money will destroy loyalty to pieces!
Since my quality of life will be better if I am loyal to the Chinese people, why should I be loyal to you, a dog Tatar, when I have enough to eat?
This is the most terrifying thing about the fortress plan. Wherever such a fortress is poked, the Confucian clan power, that is, the feudal power, will be crushed to pieces!
You can change people's hearts in two or three years without using troops or guns!
Firstly, the fortress plan can make money, secondly it can win the hearts and minds of the people, and thirdly it is in a military sense!
The 28th Industrial Zone is completely militarized, with barbed wire, trenches, traffic trenches, bunkers, open fortresses, bastions... plus city walls!
Infantry, heavy machine guns, artillery positions... and even naval guns along the river and airship troops in the sky. Once the entire three-dimensional defenses were built, there would be no possibility of the Manchus breaking through!
You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat! There are also railways forming a network between each other to provide rapid strategic maneuvering for the troops!
The fortress and railway will be the two wings of the Qing Dynasty in the future!
With such a bonus, the Chinese can raise fewer troops and a more elite army, without delaying the Chinese to make money!
By that time, the war will not be a burden on the national finances. Maybe one day, the war will become a profitable business for the Chinese!
Only then can the Chinese people's martial spirit fully burst out!
Link after link, link after link, everyone present knows how powerful this plan is. Now that the fortress plan has finally started, they have made history!
How can I not get drunk! How can you not get drunk!
