Several questions about readers
The first one is about the current social changes in Jihan.
Some readers doubt that Ji Han will soon enter the industrial revolution. This is impossible.
If you don’t believe it, go back and read history books and political books.
Entering the Industrial Revolution requires several prerequisites.
The most important thing is the huge development of agriculture and handicraft industry.
With the huge development of agriculture, only surplus products can be produced for consumption and enough population can be raised for consumption.
The huge development of the handicraft industry can promote the emergence of a free commodity economy and have an impact on the traditional feudal economy.
So based on the core land area of China, how many people are needed at least?
My personal opinion is that it must at least reach the peak level of the Ming Dynasty, which is over 100 million.
Because the Ming Dynasty already had the germination of capitalism.
The third step is to have enough raw material production areas and product dumping areas, which corresponds to the geographical discovery in history.
This step can be omitted as long as the commodity economy can develop and with the advantages of Greater China.
In other words, Ji Han had to experience great agricultural development, a population explosion, and the emergence of a free commodity economy, before the contradiction between the Xinghan Society and the imperial power would become superficial and intense.
Attention, it is superficial and intense, but it does not mean that there were no contradictions before this.
The second question is about the impact of the rise of industry on China.
I don’t think we need to worry about the inevitability of this kind of historical development. You can't just let China stay in the dynasty cycle just because it might happen, right?
And then finally let someone else wake you up?
Industrialization sounds wonderful, but the process is very painful.
At present, there are only two ways to go.
One is the Western approach, plundering the world and completing primitive accumulation.
One is our country’s approach, which involves painful internal transformation.
I don’t know how many readers have an in-depth understanding of the contribution (sacrifice) that farmers made to industrialization and the pain of the layoff wave in the 1990s.
Today, China has the most complete range of industries in the world. It was not obtained out of thin air, but was supported by several generations and countless ordinary workers.
So you want to develop industry, which path do you plan to choose?
The law of the jungle among the world’s nations is not just literal, it also exists in reality.
We can have the Holy Mother's heart, but it cannot be too excessive.
Of course, what these bumpkins are doing is just laying the foundation for future generations.
He cannot guarantee what future generations will turn history into.
He is just doing what he feels like doing.
Final question: The Xinghan Association is a civil society, not a government organization.
Except for the leaders of the second generation of officials and the second generation of Quan, none of the people below them are court officials!
The Xinghan Society is not so awesome that it can have court officials as its stewards!
At most, there are only a few supervisors sent by the palace.
The people in the palace are not court officials.
Being a court official is a very serious status because it represents the prestige of the court.
Your Xinghan Association is just a civil society, and you dare to let court officials be your managers. Are you crazy? !
So dealing with internal members of the Xinghan Society is not dealing with court officials!
The imperial court can promote outstanding talents from the Xinghanhui to become officials.
Especially in Jihan, where there is still a Chaju system, this kind of thing should not be uncommon.
But there was absolutely no reason for the imperial officials to become stewards of the Xinghan Hui!
This is an act of putting the Xinghan Hui above the imperial court and severely damaging the prestige of the imperial court.
Common sense, brother!
The most awesome people I have ever seen had to go through decades of arduous struggle before they could win.
The Xinghan Hui is not even qualified to compare with it, not even a hair!
