Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first
Seeing Wu Feng nodding his head thoughtfully, all the cabinet members felt the same way, Su Qin also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Xiang said is very reasonable. The composition is complex, and other ethnic groups other than the Tang nationality account for the vast majority, especially in the Indian region. Although the Indians are divided into several groups, their total number is not very different from the Tang nationality in our empire. , They occupy an absolute advantage in the area of the Central Continent. Except for some relatively prosperous and developed cities in these areas, the vast countryside and towns are quite backward and poor, but in fact these lands are extremely fertile and produce quite a lot. The main reason is because of its low productivity, low crop yield, backward mine surveying methods, extensive mining methods, and various industries are poor and empty. It is these reasons that lead to the poverty of the general public in this area, and the wealth is concentrated in a very small number of nobles. This is one of the main reasons why they have been repeatedly conquered by other nations.”
"Now that the empire has taken over such a vast area of land and such a large population, if the people in these areas cannot feel that their lives have improved significantly under the rule of the empire, it will still be almost the same as the rule of the nobles of the same family before. , They will slowly breed resistance and opposition in their hearts. Even if they are unable to fight against the imperial rule within ten or twenty years, but as time goes on, if this kind of emotion accumulates for a long time, it will definitely bring considerable damage to the imperial rule. Negative impact."
After a pause, Su Qin seemed to be considering his words. Even when the other cabinet members were pondering Su Qin's words, they found that Su Qin seemed to have some opinions to come up with, but seeing that he himself was a little hesitant, the ministers also guessed that the next remarks of the deputy prime minister might not Refreshing.
"Actually, I don't think very much about the populous areas like the Indian region. In my deepest thoughts, places like the Indian region can completely allow them to maintain a state of autonomy. The empire should take Economically infiltrate and control means to influence these areas. In this way, the empire can not only continuously obtain a large amount of benefits from economic control means, which is equivalent to blood transfusion for the development of the empire's local economy. On the other hand, it does not need to directly face the middle and lower classes. dissatisfaction. The power saved by the empire can be invested in the vast and sparsely populated New World. That continent is not only rich in products and vast in land, but most importantly, most of the areas there have no real civilization and historical lineage. There is no concept of nation and country in the consciousness of the residents. Instead of spending a lot of energy in these areas of the Central Continent, the empire should strengthen its strength, develop and infiltrate the New World. The rule of this area. At the same time, it can also alleviate many contradictions caused by land annexation in the empire."
Su Qin's words caused an uproar among the officials, give up India? This idea was never thought of by anyone. Wang Liao proposed that the pace of the empire's outward expansion should be moderately reduced. For the conquest and control of non-important areas, it is advocated to focus on economic control and cultivate local agents of the empire to rule indirectly. Su Qin took a bigger step. The idea of giving up a fertile area like India, which the empire has spent countless efforts to obtain, is not surprising and unbelievable to everyone.
"President Su, I'm afraid we can't give up on this Indian region, right? In fact, the Indian nation has split into several tribes, and the relations between the ministries are not harmonious, and the Indian region is fertile. The folk customs in this area are weak, and they have always had the custom of accepting foreign rule and cultural assimilation. With such good conditions, as long as the empire can make up its mind to subtly assimilate and evolve these areas through various channels, I believe it will not take a hundred years. These areas and The people will be completely integrated into the empire, and this area will surely become the hinterland of the empire."
Not everyone agrees with Su Qin and Wang Liao's views, at least Ling Tianfang is like this. As a Central Mainlander, he has a deep understanding of the cowardice and obedience of the Indian nation. The rise of a nation must step on the shoulders of this nation, and now the empire can just step on the shoulders of the Indian nation. Move forward one step ahead, and the vast majority of other weak and small nations can serve as stepping stones for the revival and rise of the great nation.
"Yes, although I also agree with Prime Minister Su's idea of increasing efforts to expand in the New World, the Indian region must not be discarded, let alone how much it cost us to acquire the Indian region, let alone The important point is that the empire finally achieved an important foothold breakthrough in the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea. After losing Indiana, the Nameli area became water without source and tree without roots, and the empire’s rule there also There is only an end, not to mention that the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea are also very important to the empire. The future era will definitely be the age of the ocean. The ocean is indispensable to a country. It brings not only convenient transportation and fishery resources. Simple, and more importantly, it can lead a nation and a country to a greater civilization, so the Indian region cannot be given up no matter from which point of view.” Supporting Ling Tianfang’s point of view is Jiangnan who returned to Beijing to report on his work Governor Wang Zongxi, although he is a local official, has such an important position in Jiangnan, and the position of Governor of Jiangnan is actually no less than a minister of the Imperial Council, even more so.
"My lord Wang's words are indeed reasonable. Now that India has been brought into the hands of the empire, it is impossible to give up. What I want to express is only one intention, that is, the land and population of the empire have reached a very large level. I privately think that there is no need for the empire to expand its territory by conquering other nations, of course, there are exceptions that threaten the security of the empire. The current central work of the empire should be shifted to economic development, especially the development of industry and commerce. According to intelligence According to the intelligence information sent back by the General Administration, whether it is the Kingdom of Leeds or the Famini Empire, the reason why they can reach the forefront of the Western Continent is because they are in an absolute leading position in business, especially in industrial development, like the Western Continent. Although the industry and commerce in the southern region are also developed, they mainly rely on commercial trade to maintain prosperity. This is certainly an important aspect, but if there is no industry to rely on, this kind of prosperity is a temporary illusion, and it is very difficult to maintain it for a long time .”
"Industrial development requires sufficient raw materials, a broad market, abundant labor, and necessary capital and technology. Now the empire has a vast territory, surpassing any previous era, especially in India, the northern grasslands, and the southwest region. The inclusion of the market has made the empire's domestic market capacity extremely large, and the empire's shipping business has also entered a stage of spatial development. It can be said that the market conditions are already in place. Not to mention the labor force, whether it is the empire's interior or the Indian region, sufficient labor is the key It has always been a supply-side market, which can fully meet the needs of industrial development. The problem of funds is not a problem for the empire's industry and commerce. The empire's modern financial system is basically complete, and both the banking system and the stock trading system can provide sufficient funds for the industrial and commercial circles. In terms of technology, Imperial Industries has also gone through a long period of preparation, accumulated considerable technology and experience, and has made breakthroughs in some aspects. In addition to the issue of raw materials, we also need to increase our expansion in the New World and exploration in the southern ocean area In addition to discovering to ensure the supply of raw materials, it can be said that all the conditions have been met, and all the elements for entering a period of rapid development are fully met, and the glorious era of the empire is coming!"
Su Qin is rarely so excited~IndoMTL.com~ The joyful expression and provocative language make other ministers can't help but gradually get excited following his statement, the empire will usher in a glorious era, Especially now that there is no one around the empire that can threaten the survival of the empire. Both Kamancisro and the Japanese have been reduced to the bottom line. It is only a matter of time before they are solved, and it will not affect the economic development of the empire at all. For ten or twenty years, the empire will stand in the east of the mainland with a new attitude.
"Yes, Prime Minister Su is right. To ensure that the empire has a stable and sufficient raw material base, the New World is undoubtedly the best base. Now the survey departments of the empire at all levels have discovered gold and silver on the New World. The rich products including various minerals such as copper and iron, especially the agricultural products on this land are extremely rich. Many agricultural products are unheard of in our continent. After entering the imperial market, it has caused a strong shock, such as potatoes, High-yield dryland crops such as corn can completely rewrite the agricultural development process of the empire. If this type of high-yield crop can be widely promoted in the barren areas of the empire, the famine will be farther and farther away from the empire.” Yang Zhengbin interjected He is the one who has the most say when it comes to these issues. The benefits brought to the empire by the expansion of the empire's power in the New World have gradually emerged. A large number of immigrants have begun to enter the empire-controlled area of the New World through various channels. Promoted by official channels, but the Indians entered spontaneously. Now the Tang tribe has begun to enter the New World on a large scale under the stimulation of the Indians, which has also triggered a new round of upsurge in opening up the hinterland of the New World.
