I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 714: Guangzhou's development

Democracy has the advantages of democracy, and centralization also has the advantages of centralization. In fact, it is difficult to compete and distinguish between right and wrong.

However, for the current Dahua, centralized power is definitely superior to a democratic system.

After all, Wu Changqing is a bug-like existence.

He knows the most correct direction of development in history.

With power in his hands, he can lead Dahua on the right path, without making detours or turning a detour.

And if democracy is achieved, hey, those blind and inexperienced people will definitely have to take a lot of detours and do some very outrageous things.

Every citizen has the right to vote. The first thing they must do is to vote to suggest that the rich should be killed, and then the money will be divided.

Who doesn't want to get something for nothing?

As for killing the wealthy is not a sustainable development path, few people of this common people know what sustainable development is, and the immediate benefits are real.

With the number of people at the bottom of Dahua, the number of approval votes can definitely kill the number of negative votes.

Wu Changqing no longer pursues material enjoyment, so what he pursues is a kind of spiritual enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment.

Therefore, he can be selfless for the sake of all Dahua's people.

His happiness comes from the continuous strength of Dahua, not from the increase of personal wealth.

If he is selfish, there is no need to take out all the technology. It is most fragrant to make money for the royal family, and the wealth of the world can be controlled by the royal family.

The concentration of power in the hands of Wu Changqing is the most beneficial to the people.

Once democratic, Wu Changqing lost absolute power.

Then, all interest classes, interest groups, and individuals all give priority to their own interests when doing things.

There are very few people who can sacrifice their own interests for the development of Dahua.

Moreover, if these people do not have enough power, their sacrifices are often ineffective.

The most likely scene at that time is that the world is in chaos and nothing can be done.

Wu Changqing's current regime can be so consolidated, in fact, it has something to do with his selflessness.

Before the change, regardless of any dynasty, dare to confiscate the landlord’s land, it would definitely be a mess in the world.

Taking money from someone is like killing a parent. If an emperor wants to fight against the elites of the world, it is definitely seeking death.

But why didn't Dahua cause a large-scale rebellion? Because everyone is watching.

In the whole world, Wu Changqing himself was the one who sacrificed the most.

So many advanced technologies and monopoly technologies that can make a lot of money, Wu Changqing used them for free and shared them with the world.

The emperor personally sacrificed his own interests, and other landlords lost some money, so naturally they would not feel so wronged and unbalanced in their hearts.

If the emperor himself withholds money and only knows to make money into the House of Internal Affairs, but asks other landlords to take out land to distribute to the people, who can be convinced?

Although Wu Changqing often did things that harmed the interests of the gentry class and subsidized the people.

But in fact, Wu Changqing is still very prestigious among the gentry, and everyone persuaded him to lead by example.

This is also a kind of personality charm, which is not available when you change to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen had no money in the war, and he wanted to donate money from a hundred officials, but no one agreed, and even his old husband refused to pay.

Are those people really so stingy?

The real reason was that Chongzhen had a lot of money in his own small vault, and he didn't see him pay out for military expenses.

The world belongs to him Chongzhen and not to other officials. Even he himself is reluctant to pay for the preservation of the imperial power. How could other people pay for it.

In short, being a leader can lead by example.

By setting an example and taking the lead, others will be convinced.

At present, the best place for Dahua's development is Nanjing, followed by Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Suzhou.

But in terms of development potential, Shanghai and Guangzhou are far stronger than Nanjing.

Guangzhou was recaptured much later than Shanghai, but the development here is not slow because of its superior geographical location.

As early as the Ming Dynasty closed the country, there were many people smuggling and doing business in the Guangzhou area, and even those who had been doing business in Nanyang for a long time.

The emperor is far away, and Beijing can't control Guangzhou.

Therefore, before the establishment of Dahua, Guangzhou's foreign trade was much larger than that of Shanghai, and it was no longer of an order of magnitude at all.

Later, Dahua fully supported the development of Shanghai. In addition, Shanghai is close to Nanjing, making it easier to enjoy the technological dividends, which allowed Shanghai to surpass Guangzhou.

However, the development of Guangzhou is pretty good now.

Compared with Shanghai, Guangzhou has an obvious characteristic, that is, it is flat.

Shanghai is a very prosperous area on the west bank of the Huangpu River, with a high concentration of industrial and commercial areas.

But Guangzhou is not like this. There are no very large-scale industrial areas here. They are all small industrial areas with a large number and relatively scattered.

Guangzhou, Panyu, Foshan, Dongguan, and Shunde all have a large number of industrial areas, but they are not connected together.

The reason for this phenomenon is related to historical inheritance and geographical communication.

A long time ago, Guangzhou's trade developed, so people everywhere have accumulated capital, and a certain industrial scale has long been formed in their hometowns.

Unlike Shanghai, which started from scratch, it was almost entirely foreign capital intervention. The aborigines had no capital accumulation and no hometown plot. Foreign capital was the small place with the most convenient transportation.

There is also the traffic factor. Shanghai has the Huangpu River and Wusong River.

And here in Guangzhou, the water network is dense, and the water transportation is very developed.

The Pearl River is not a river, but a basin, which is the general term for three rivers. There are countless tributaries of Dongjiang and Xijiangbeijiang, forming a network of waters.

In short, the water transportation here is well-developed, so the decentralization of the industrial zone has less impact on the cooperation between them than Shanghai, and there is no need to concentrate together.

It is for these reasons that there are few high-rise buildings and relatively few large factories here in Guangzhou.

However, there are many small workshops and small factories, densely packed.

The industries of the two places are also quite different. Most of Shanghai's industries are heavy industries, and there are also large-scale production industries. The main thing is ocean trade.

Guangzhou is mainly based on light industry and handicraft industry.

The object of their trade is often the Southeast Asia region, and ocean trade is even rarer.

Because they are all light industry and handicraft industries, the added value of the products is low, and the profits are low, and ocean trade sells these products at a loss.

Guangzhou's main purpose is flexibility, relying on its proximity to Nanyang, low transportation costs, and various small profits but quick turnover.
