I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

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

However, for the current Dahua, centralization is absolutely superior to a democratic system.

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

He knows the most correct direction for history.

With the power in his hands, he can lead Dahua to the right path, without detours or cross paths.

And if democracy is realized, hehe, those blind and inexperienced people will definitely take a lot of detours and do some very outrageous things.

Every citizen has the right to vote, and the first thing they do must be to vote and propose to kill all the rich, and then divide the money.

Get something for nothing, who doesn't want to?

As for killing the rich is not a sustainable development path, not many 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 affirmative 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 achievement.

Therefore, he can do selfless consideration for all the people of Dahua.

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

If he is selfish, there is no need to take out all the technology, and it is the most fragrant to keep it for the royal family to make money, and he can control the wealth of the world in the royal family.

The power is concentrated in the hands of Wu Changqing, which is the most beneficial to the people.

Once democratic, Wu Changqing lost absolute power.

Then, all interest classes, interest groups, and individuals 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.

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

The fact that Wu Changqing's current regime can be so consolidated has something to do with his selflessness.

Before it was changed, no matter what dynasty, if it dared to confiscate the land of the landlord, it would definitely be chaos in the world.

Stealing people's money is like killing one's parents. If an emperor wants to fight against the world's elite, it is definitely courting death.

But why did Dahua not cause a large-scale rebellion? Because everyone has eyes to see.

In the whole world, the biggest sacrifice is Wu Changqing himself.

So many advanced technologies and monopoly technologies that can make a lot of money, Wu Changqing took them out 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.

Who would be convinced if the emperor himself had to hold everything back and only know how to make money into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but ask other landlords to take out the land and distribute it to the people?

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

But in fact, Wu Changqing was very prestigious among the gentry class, and everyone accepted his behavior of leading by example.

This is also a kind of personality charisma, which is not there for Chongzhen.

Chongzhen had no money to fight the war, so he wanted hundreds of officials to donate money, but no one agreed, not even his father-in-law would not pay.

Are those people really that stingy?

The real reason is that Chongzhen has a lot of money in his own small treasury, and he has never seen him take it out for military pay.

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

In short, being a leader is all about leading by example.

Lead by example and take the lead, and others will be convinced.

At present, the best place for Dahua to develop 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 strategic location.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, when the country was closed to the country, there were many people who went to sea for smuggling and business in the area of ​​Guangzhou, and even did business in the Nanyang area for a long time.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and Beijing cannot control Guangzhou.

Therefore, before Dahua was established, Guangzhou's foreign trade was much more than that of Shanghai, and it was no longer an order of magnitude.

Later, Dahua fully supported the development of Shanghai, and Shanghai was closer to Nanjing, which made it easier to enjoy the technological dividends, which made Shanghai surpass Guangzhou.

However, Guangzhou is developing quite well now.

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

Shanghai is a highly prosperous place next to the west bank of the Huangpu River, with a high concentration of industrial and commercial areas.

However, this is not the case in Guangzhou. There are no very large-scale industrial areas here. They are all small industrial areas, which are very numerous and relatively scattered.

Guangzhou, Panyu, Foshan, Dongguan, Shunde, these places have a large number of industrial areas, but they are not connected into one piece.

The reason for the formation of this phenomenon is related to historical inheritance and geographical transportation.

A long time ago, Guangzhou's trade was developed, so people from all over the world accumulated capital and formed a certain scale of industry in their hometowns.

Unlike Shanghai, which started from scratch, almost all foreign capital is involved. The aborigines have no capital accumulation, and there is no hometown plot. The foreign capital is the most convenient place for transportation.

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

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 name of three rivers. Dongjiang, Xijiang and Beijiang have numerous tributaries, forming a network of waters.

In short, the water transportation here is well developed, so the scattered industrial areas have less impact on mutual cooperation than in Shanghai, so there is no need to concentrate them together.

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

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

The industries in the two places are also quite different. Most of Shanghai is heavy industry, and there are also large-scale production industries, which mainly focus on ocean trade.

The Guangzhou side is mainly based on light industry and handicraft industry.

And the object of their trade is often the South China Sea area, and there is less ocean-going trade.

Because it is all light industry and handicraft industry, the added value of products is low, and the profit is low.

Guangzhou mainly exerts its flexibility, relying on its proximity to Nanyang, low transportation costs, and various small profits but quick turnover.
