New Shun 1730
Chapter 1350 Triangular Trade (Part 2)
This crisis is imminent, especially for these big businessmen and landlords in North America, who should see it. If they can't see it, they should be told.
Not only will England, Scotland and Ireland be welcoming another huge wave of immigrants, but there is also another nation. That is the "German bumpkins" that Franklin has always worried about changing the blood of North America.
The title that Frederick the Great's father has always been obsessed with is "Protestant Savior".
Frederick has always wanted this title.
Now, Frederick has no chance to be the "Great Emperor", let alone the title of Protestant Savior. This special title has been cut off from the Dutch Orange Family.
Britain has cut off its subsidies to Prussia, 3 million taels of silver a year. If it continues to give it, the Hanover family will be thrown back to Germany by the English people to grow potatoes.
At the beginning, the French took a gamble, hoping to conquer Hanover to force Britain to negotiate and engage in military speculation and adventure. Although it can be regarded as Louis XV's opportunism in terms of strategy, the success rate is still quite high in terms of tactics.
But now, facing the current situation, even if the British want to take an opportunistic risk, will they expect the Prussian army to attack Paris and end the war? This is worse than France's fierce attack on Hanover, and the success rate is zero. The current Prussia does not have the ability to enter the French mainland.
Prussia may be able to attack Paris, but that is definitely not the current Prussia.
In this case, there is no opportunity for opportunism, so what is the use of giving subsidies?
Once Prussia is defeated, or Prussia's defeat after the British subsidy is cut off this year, it is inevitable.
At that time, what will happen to a bunch of Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire?
Those who can go to the Netherlands can of course go to the Netherlands and Geneva.
However, as Dashun completely compradorized the Netherlands, and supported the urban oligarchs in the previous coup to completely destroy the Netherlands' agriculture and manufacturing, guilds, and handicrafts, leaving only the financial industry and commerce, those who can live in the Netherlands at this time must have money in their hands.
This is reality.
In the era of the Archons, the king's pillars were the nobility, the countryside, and the handicraft guilds. They were conservative, but at least the guilds at that time still relied on the power of the Orange Family to suppress merchants.
After Dashun participated in the Dutch coup, the Netherlands... The Netherlands was not finished, but on the contrary, its GDP was higher than before. Business, finance, shipping, smuggling, transit business, loans, speculation, futures... In terms of economy, it is indeed much stronger than before, but you just need money to live in the Netherlands.
Let's put it this way, in history, before Dashun participated and did not compradorize the Netherlands, Dutch merchants had already reached the point of "hoarding wood, instigating the Netherlands and Britain to go to war, and taking the opportunity to sell wood for shipbuilding."
After Dashun participated, the thorough commercialization of the Netherlands was extremely accelerated. The only remaining textile industry in the Leiden area was also completely killed by the comprador merchants of Dashun and Amsterdam.
In this case, the Protestants who have no money can't run away to the Netherlands. Where can they run if not to America?
The so-called anti-British and pro-British factions are essentially conflicts of economic interests and games between the local and central governments.
Putting the name of "he is a pro-British traitor" on the liquidation of landlords and confiscation of property is a serious act that affects the true awakening of the North American people.
What Dashun needs to do now is to make this group of people lose the cover of this layer of skin.
Although the Dashun military and merchants involved in it can be regarded as unconsciously promoting history, they don’t know what they are doing and what historical significance they have, but the historical significance is created in this way.
The original anti-British faction wanted only a few demands.
Dashun’s two requirements of "tariffs to repay national debts" and "free trade" can just turn a large number of anti-British factions into pro-British factions.
By then, the North American Parliament and representatives will be there, and several abstract slogans that hide real contradictions will not be shouted, and the West will not be able to go.
Then, even if the later immigrants, indentured servants, bankrupt self-cultivating farmers, and border people cannot produce Li Zicheng, can Erzhu Rong not produce one?
The new nobles and the old Thirteen States enjoyed the benefits of being landlords; the children of the Six Towns who wanted to cross the Appalachian Mountains to open up wasteland would always have some ideas.
The truth must be told.
But it cannot be told only with words.
The Dashun's general mobilization of merchant ships and the goods loaded on the merchant ships are important reliances for telling these truths and making these truths believable.
The merchant ships docked in Philadelphia and the goods unloaded on the ships are actually announcing one thing to the group of "elites" in North America: the pattern of Atlantic trade has changed.
The change in this trade pattern is not simply based on the improvement of productivity.
If we just calculate the productivity level, many textile handicrafts in India crush Europe.
It depends on the fleet of Dashun, with the help of the European war, to break the old trade pattern maintained by violence and navy.
Here, the power of the working people is reflected in the goods of Dashun, which is the basis of Dashun's success. This is the foundation. Without the production of the working people of Dashun, what is the use of Dashun's navy even if it defeats the British Channel Fleet? Isn't that just helping others?
The same logic applies. If France during the Napoleonic era had the productivity level of Dashun at that time, the Continental Blockade would have been successful.
Now Dashun has mobilized all merchant ships, which is to replicate the continental blockade policy. But it does not rely on an army that is so powerful that it is invincible in Europe, but on cheap goods that are enough to destroy the British Maritime Wooden Wall.
It can be said that Dashun has taken advantage of this. Dashun's productivity level is not enough to be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack on handicrafts by industrialization.
However, the price revolution is here. Dashun's silver purchasing power is higher than that of European silver. Even if the production efficiency is the same, Dashun's cotton cloth is cheap. What can we do? Moreover, in fact, Dashun's efficiency in cotton cloth production is higher than that of Europe.
Just like the goods on the cargo ship docked in Philadelphia at this time.
North American merchants have never participated in trade with China before. Even if they can get smuggled goods through Dutch middlemen, will the Dutch middlemen not make a profit?
The cargo ship is full of goods, in large quantities, and at low prices.
It can even be said that as long as the goods cannot be produced in North America, they can be found on Dashun's cargo ships.
Moreover, these goods were gathered from the coastal areas of Dashun from south to north.
There are so many kinds of goods that as long as they can be sold, they can all be transported.
From Liaodong.
There are tussah silk.
The more expensive ones are light luxury tussah silk quilts.
This is a secondary industry based on soybean planting that has emerged along the Liaohe River and relied on Dashun's development of the Northeast.
Tussah is not the pillar industry of Dashun's Northeast at this time, but soybeans, sorghum, wood, wheat, etc. cannot be sold here. Tussah is only the pillar industry of the Northeast's exports at this time.
From Shandong and Jingji.
There are straw braids.
Bone crafts.
Fish glue.
Dried dates.
Metal products byproducts of shipbuilding and heavy industry around the Bohai Sea, exquisite mirrors.
From Songsu.
There are cotton cloth and blended cloth.
High-end cotton cloth.
Low-end cotton cloth.
Silk cloth.
From Jiangxi.
There are porcelain.
From Fujian.
There are tea.
From Hubei.
There are processed tea cakes.
From Nanyang.
There are spices.
From Ceylon.
There are cinnamon and gems.
The rest are such as folding fans, lacquerware, neem tree lice oil, Hanfu, hunting air pump guns for female nobles, glycerin, high-end exquisite glycerin that is mainly sold in boxes...
From big to small, from south to north. There are all kinds of strange goods.
In addition to the grain, wine, sugar, and pig iron that North America itself has no shortage of, the trade relations between North America and Britain can be said to have replaced everything except the English version of the Bible, which Dashun can produce and is profitable but cannot produce for political reasons.
Exquisite porcelain, packed in sand, with the roots of sprouting wheat, condensing the sand into blocks, greatly ensuring the yield of transportation.
Low-end tea, crushed by steam engines, fermented, and pressed tightly, greatly increased the loading capacity and minimized the transportation loss of tea.
Mid- to high-end tea, buy tea and get tea sets for free.
Low-end cotton cloth, thick and durable, is just right for North American self-employed farmers and pioneers.
Women weaving cloth use starching to ensure the toughness of the warp and weft, making this coarse cloth extremely strong and durable.
This is not a new technology. The warp toughness problem before the invention of the mule machine can be solved by this warp sizing method.
The Songsu-style package purchase system and loom going to the countryside, etc., just adopted the workshop system for yarn, and solved the warp toughness problem by batch sizing. Old technology, stupid method, but very effective.
Not to mention high-end textiles, Dashun even started to use the contract system for royal use. High-end textiles can of course be circulated as long as they do not overstep their boundaries.
One reason for this change in thinking is that the lessons of the previous dynasty were learned.
Another reason is that the emperor has really become rich in recent years, and money can really buy things.
After the mobilization of Dashun's registered merchant ships, these various commodities appeared in the Atlantic Ocean in a posture of completely replacing the old triangular trade "industrial product producers".
Of course, Dashun has now determined the strategy of "making the Netherlands the main commercial port in Europe".
So, the triangular trade of the past actually still exists.
The system is still there.
The biggest difference is:
In the past, the industrial products needed for triangular trade, iron, were produced in Sweden; cotton cloth was produced in Lancashire; mirrors were produced in France; glass beads were produced in the Austrian Netherlands; wine was produced in Portugal or France; rum was produced in North America...
In the future, the industrial products needed for triangular trade will grow out of merchant ships!
Every June and July, it will be refreshed at the port of Amsterdam at regular intervals.
As Dashun has always said before, "thank" the Dutch East India Company for opening up the tea consumption market; "thank" the French East India Company for opening up the oriental luxury goods market; "thank" the British East India Company for opening up the cotton cloth market.
Dashun did not destroy the old trade system.
It even became a beneficiary of the old Atlantic trade system.
However, Dashun destroyed the original producers and replaced them.
And it left an impression on Europe and America: goods are refreshed from merchant ships on a regular basis every year.
