If it is poor, it will be trade protection; if it is rich, it will be free trade.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Zhu Daohua is very clear about the development trend of history.
Until the Cold War, the hegemons dominated each other.
There are clear barriers between them.
It was after the northern giant collapsed.
There was a time when a certain country believed that "history has ended" and thought that it could rule the world for tens of millions of years by virtue of its coinage, military hegemony, and cultural hegemony.
So the public opinion machine began to be activated, vigorously promoting "globalization", "free trade" and "zero tariffs".
But they soon found out.
"The end of history" is just flattery given to the empire by the literati of the empire's vassal states.
When that country began to rise and continuously climbed from the low-end industrial chain to the high-end industrial chain, the entire industrial chain and the most complete industrial system created the largest industrial aggregate in human history.
The empire that once thought it had ended history began to abandon the "globalization" it marketed, and began to shrink, raise tariffs, and create barriers.
Instead, it was the rising star who took over the banner and called for free trade all over the world.
History is a cycle.
And now.
Zhu Daohua just turned this reincarnation in a small direction.
If someone could now calculate the industrial output value of the world.
The current Ming Dynasty's share of the world's industrial output value definitely exceeds one-third, and may even be approaching 40%!
When Zhu Daohua first entered Nanyang, he did not have many industrial products at his disposal, and he was unable to export any industrial products to the outside world.
Therefore, at that time, Zhu Daohua did not hesitate to squeeze out goods from the West in order to protect the gestating Ming Dynasty industry.
And now.
With the technological innovations brought about by the steam engine.
Ming Dynasty's industrial output experienced an explosive growth.
Ming Dynasty became the first in the world to taste the sweet fruits brought by the industrial revolution.
Ever since.
Today's Ming Dynasty does not mind discussing free trade with European countries.
"Since you have arrived at Yingtian, the British fleet should be arriving in India soon."
Zhu Daohua said.
"It seems that we have to prepare early." As he said that, Zhu Daohua turned to look at Chang Yinghu who was following him.
"Where is Sun Shiyi?"
Chang Yinghu hurriedly received: "The British Lord has been contacting businessmen in various places in Liangjiang during this period, hoping to attract some investment in the war against India."
"Okay, let him stop going around asking for alms, and let him come to Yingtian Mansion to see me immediately!"
Zhu Daohua waved his hand.
...
Inside the post office of Yingtian Mansion.
After visiting the capital of the Ming Empire under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, these envoys from European countries had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Don’t say anything else.
It’s just a few hundred kilometers from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yingtianfu.
Songjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Yingtian Prefecture.
The population of these provinces is almost larger than the population of the entire UK.
at the same time.
The intensive construction of factories also made these Europeans realize that a new super empire was rising in the East.
The emergence of this country.
It will subvert Europeans' understanding of the world with unprecedented power.
The power contained in the Ming Empire may require the whole of Europe to unite to compare with it.
That night, the envoys from various countries who returned to the post had serious expressions on their faces.
they know.
This was the Ming Emperor's warning to them.
Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor succeeded.
Now even the British envoy Sir George Staunton, who had been liaising with diplomats from various countries to jointly put pressure on the Ming Empire, dared not mention any pressure now.
Now diplomats from various countries gathered together.
What is being discussed is "concerted action based on common interests."
"Everyone, we are all Europeans." George Staunton said.
"It's a pity, Sir Staunton." The American envoy Nicholas Huntington stood up and unceremoniously demolished George Staunton.
"I am American."
George Staunton squinted his eyes and stared at the rebel of the British Empire, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Well, I can put it another way, we are all believers in God."
George Staunton said.
Whether a Protestant or a Catholic, or a follower of the Orthodox Church.
They can all be considered from the same cultural circle - although they are very stupid to each other.
To be honest, after George Staunton came to Yingtian Mansion, the majestic envoy of the British Empire began to lose confidence.
"The rise of the Ming Empire has had a subversive impact on the current international order. I think you will agree with this, right?"
When George Stone saw the envoys from various countries, they all nodded.
Then he continued: "The Ming Empire has a population of 200 million, which is even more than the total number of all European countries. If they annex the Qing Empire and the Qing Empire, this population will expand to 300 million!"
"Wait, annex the Qing Empire?" Tsarist Russian envoy Vasily Lavrov frowned, "Does the British Empire believe that the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not a Chinese civil war, but an international war, so it is ready to intervene? ?”
Tsarist Russia is expanding its influence in the Middle East and the Balkans, and at the same time, Britain is also investing its power in this region. Read the full content on AiYue app
Therefore, the two sides are geopolitically opposed to some extent.
International relations are very complex and not black and white.
For example, Tsarist Russia and Britain.
The two countries are fighting each other in Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Balkans.
But on the issue of law, there are alliances and even alliances.
The interests of major powers are complex and intertwined.
Therefore, we generally cooperate when we should cooperate and fight when we should fight.
On the other hand, Tsarist Russia was worried that Britain would take advantage of the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties to develop closer ties with the Qing Empire and begin to gain influence in East Asia, never threatening Tsarist Russia's interests in the Far East.
"The British Empire does not seek influence in Northeast Asia." George Staunton said. He stared at Lavrov and said seriously: "And I think Her Majesty the Queen of Russia does not want to be neighbors with Zhu Daohua."
Vasily Lavrov took a breath.
Compared with the Qing Empire.
The Ming Empire seemed to have a stronger motivation for external expansion.
Moreover, this Ming Empire does not look like the traditional Chinese Empire at all.
They even have parliaments from central to local levels!
This is really too progressive - Russia is not that advanced now.
Today's Tsarist Russia is essentially a serf state.
But with its vast territory and large numbers of cheap gray livestock.
This country's military strength daunts many European countries.
However, those advantages that Tsarist Russia possesses.
It seemed worthless in front of the Ming Empire.
Territory?
Although the territory of the Ming Empire was not as large as that of Tsarist Russia, once the Ming Empire defeated the Qing Empire and captured the territory in the north, its land area would not be much smaller than that of Tsarist Russia.
not to mention.
What territory does Tsarist Russia have?
It is a bitter cold place like Eastern and Western Siberia.
It can't feed many people at all.
Although the territory is large.
But now we can only do some fur business.
The territory of the Ming Empire was the best agricultural land in Asia.
On population.
That would be even more incomparable.
As for industrial production capacity...
Although Tsarist Russia is large, their industrial production capacity may not even be comparable to that of some German states.
What's more, it has to be compared with the behemoth of the Ming Empire.
Therefore, between the Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, it was obviously more beneficial for Tsarist Russia to have the Qing Empire, the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, standing in the middle.
"So, I think it is in the interests of Britain and Russia to maintain the continued existence of the Qing Empire." George Staunton said.
Vasily Lavrov pondered for a moment and nodded: "I agree with this! But we still will not accept any British military presence in Northeast Asia!"
George Staunton said: "We will not seek military intervention in the Ming and Qing wars. This is impossible to achieve, isn't it?"
Phew...
The American envoy sitting on the other side couldn't help laughing.
The British and Russian envoys turned their heads in dissatisfaction.
"This North American redneck!"
Sir George Staunton had no favorable impression of these country rich people who dared to use muskets to resist imperial rule just because the British Empire collected some tea taxes.
"Gentlemen, you actually want to intervene militarily in a war between two great Eastern countries? Should I say that you are overestimating your capabilities, or are you being arrogant?"
Nicholas Huntington said.
"And you don't even dare to intervene militaryly, then I want to know, His Excellency, the King." Nicholas Huntington looked at George Staunton.
Although the relationship between the United States and Britain in later generations was quite special.
But in this era when the United States had just gained independence from Britain, the relationship between the United States and Britain was not harmonious.
"How do you plan to interfere in the war between the Ming Empire, which has a continental army of more than 200,000 soldiers with better weapons and equipment than the British, and the Qing Empire, which also has hundreds of thousands of army soldiers? Do you want the British to send all the army troops? East? I don’t know if the numbers of the British Army can support the attrition of a campaign on such a continental battlefield..."
The American envoy said with a smile, sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, and a cigar in his mouth - this kind of agricultural product produced in the United States is the main commodity that the United States is preparing to export to the Ming Dynasty.
This time the American envoys came mainly to discuss the export of some American products and the negotiations on the interoperable routes between the thirteen states of North America and Daming.
I have no interest in joining in any joint pressure or other issues.
Although the American emperor will be very awesome in later generations.
But the current strength is not considered a great power at all.
In essence, they are more of a farmer country that uses black slaves as the main production tool for agricultural production - the industrial zone in Wudalian Lake is still under the threat of Canada.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
