Chapter 968 The interests of the Northeast
"The barbarians in all directions are all bound to mountains and seas, and are remote in a corner. The land is not enough to provide, and the people are not enough to command. If they do not think about it themselves and come to hinder the border of the Han Dynasty, it will be auspicious. They will not be troubled by China, and the Han Dynasty will launch a light attack on the Han Dynasty, which is also auspicious.
Now the general is greedy for China's prosperity and strength, and is greedy for temporary military achievements, and promotes an unknown army. He thinks it is a meritorious person. If he is later, the matter of military force and military force will be unstoppable.
In the past, Qin State swept the world and surrounded the world, but was not satisfied. He also took Baiyue in the south and attacked the Xiongnu in the north. The corvee service continued and died in the second lifetime.
In the past, Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu, expeditioned to Dayuan, surrendered to the Western Regions, recovered Nanyue, and annexed Korea. His military strength is still the same as ever. However, in the long-distance Luntai, the strong ate all the livestock, and the weak died thousands of people, and finally issued an imperial edict!
Don’t forget the past and the next one, so you should use a gentleman as a country, look at the ancient times, examine the current world, observe the principles of prosperity and decline, and examine the appropriateness of power and power, and be orderly...."
"What a good article! After reading it, I couldn't help but worry that the descendants would become more powerful and the country would eventually be defeated." Ma Qiang put down the newspaper and sighed.
This is an article published in the Dahan Daily.
Although the signature is another pseudonym, you can tell that this is a good thing Yang Biao and others did.
Ma Qiang smiled. He had just left Jixian, and Yang Biao couldn't sit still. It seemed that Sanhan's victory did make him a little worried.
Think about it, the General's Mansion, from the Wuhuan to the Xiongnu, from the Xianbei to the Sanhan, was invincible and could be defeated. If this continues, Ma Qiang's prestige will be so high that it will be
"Ming Gong, is that?" Yan Zhong made a gesture to Ma Qiang's neck.
Yan Zhong was a gentry in Xiliang. He had always hated the Kanto gentry and had always hoped that Ma Qiang would kill these Kanto gentry.
"No, I said before that it is useful to keep these people.
Moreover, this article is not useless. If you cannot get benefits and start a war at will, then it is a warlike situation. Even if the country is big, war will perish!
I think it's not just him, but many people in the world are worried that I will continue to conquer in the future."
China had been wary before, and she thought about going outside to kill people every day, but this idea was basically over by Emperor Wu of Han.
Because by the time of Emperor Wu of Han, the areas around China that could be cultivated were basically taken into account, and the rest of the places were as mentioned in the article, not only the benefits were low, but the maintenance cost was still high.
Many later generations saw that Western powers made great fortunes through wars for hundreds of years, and began to advocate the theory that war benefits the country, believing that war is beneficial to the country.
This view is correct or not. First of all, war is always burning money for the government. Profitability of war means that after the victory of the war, it can only achieve the wealth lost by the war by making one's own country through reparations and other means.
Therefore, whether the country can make profits in war is the key to whether the war benefits the country.
Why did the colonial system collapse rapidly after World War II in later generations? The root cause was that the colonists' rule cost was too high, so high that it was impossible to make the other party independent and then use other means such as finance to plunder local wealth.
Otherwise, it’s up to no cooperation. Do you believe it and let the entire Elephant Country build a soap factory?
Do you really think that the Empire of the Sun does not set is a phone bill for the fee?
The same is true now. Thinking about whether or not you want Liangzhou a few years ago, you can discuss it at the court meeting, so you can know what the ministers in the Han Dynasty were about expanding territory.
“For this kind of sound, whether it is to hit or press, it is not suitable.
The best way is to slap them in the face with facts.
Use countless rice, grain and minerals to tell them that they are wrong. What I, Ma Ziyu, built was not useless soil, but my treasure pot!" Ma Qiang said to Lu Yu next to him, "Generate power to all prefectures in Hebei, and let the chambers of commerce organize inspection teams to go to western Liaoning to stand by."
Because Hebei's business is becoming increasingly developed, most merchants join the chamber of commerce. First, they can communicate with each other and get some advice, and secondly, the government is intentional to control the business community through the chamber of commerce.
"Then the "Dahan Daily"?" Yan Zhong asked.
"No need to worry about it, let the Oriental Daily and the Radio Station introduce more Liaodong and Sanhan's specialties these days.
I will also write some information here to let them advertise it.”
Is the Northeast rich?
People in later generations know that the Northeast is fertile and rich in resources, and it is a rich place.
But people of this era have only two words about the Liaodong region - Kuhan!
I only know that these places have Dongzhu, fur, and then snow-capped mountains.
As for other resources?
That's not aware of it at all.
It is no wonder that from ancient times to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development efforts in the Northeast were very small. In terms of farming, although we knew that there were plains in Liaodong, it was extremely difficult to farm because of the lack of corn and improved cold-resistant crops, coupled with the problem of permafrost.
You should know that the Beidahuang becomes Beidaculang, which is what happened after the founding of the country in later generations.
In short, without large-scale mechanical equipment, it is a dream to tilt the frozen soil in the Northeast and expose the black soil; without large-scale pumping equipment, it is a dream to drain the swamp; without modern agricultural planting technology, seed selection and cultivation, greenhouse planting, and wanting to grow rice and vegetables in the Northeast is a dream to plough rice and vegetables.
Fortunately, with the efforts of Zhang Ning and others, the steam engine has become more and more mature. With the steam engine, it is possible to cultivate the Northeast.
It can be said that if there is no steam engine, it is better to snatch the Northeast than to migrate southwards and wait for future generations to do it hundreds of years later.
Once developed, how strong is the farming power in Northeast China?
Let me put it this way, the top ten grain-producing counties in later generations are all located in the northeast.
Two of the three provinces with a grain self-sufficiency rate of more than 200% in later generations were in the northeast, and one was Inner Mongolia, which occupied the Diansongnen Plain.
It can be said that if there was no Northeast China, the food crisis in China would come in a blink of an eye.
In terms of minerals, Anshan iron ore has the highest reserves in the country!
But is this quality...
Cough, don’t talk about sad things anymore. If the quality is good, Tuao would have gone home to eat dirt long ago.
In the Korean Peninsula below the Northeast, iron and coal is also rich. North Korea's iron ore reserves are tenth in the world in later generations, and most of the coal resources are high-quality anthracite.
If you think about the lack of minerals in South Korea, which can build a large number of steel plants in later generations, you will know what is going on in the entire Korean Peninsula.
In short, in Ma Qiang, the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula are not optimistic about this era, in the eyes of Ma Qiang, there are mountains of gold and silver!
As long as the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula can be successfully developed, the Beidahuang will be transformed into Beida Gang 1,800 years ahead of schedule.
Then Ma Qiang can use facts to slap those gentry in the face, and can turn Northeast into a base for entering the New World in the future.
