Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 387: American Independence Movement

When Cheng Ying heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. There is nothing new under the sun. Wherever there are people, there will definitely be such nonsense.

To say that this incident is similar to the Boston Tea Party, in fact, it is normal. The duchy exports goods to the New World without any tariffs. If it must be said, this is indeed a kind of exploitation of local industry.

It is normal for people with interests to boycott tulip products. If not controlled, conflicts will further intensify and even end up splitting the country.

When the United States became independent, to a large extent it could not stand the unrestricted dumping by its old boss, so it finally started fighting.

So the question is, what should Chengying do? In the face of the vicious fire at the Agricultural Machinery Center, he must also give a clear attitude.

"Tell me what you think first! I'm not a saint, and there's no perfect solution to this kind of thing. Let's brainstorm!"

Cheng Ying spoke, and everyone started talking about it. Someone suggested: "We can make some concessions and delimit the original territory of certain industries without interference, while certain industries are not restricted. This can protect those vested interests." They won’t make a fuss.”

But someone immediately retorted: "No, during the initial construction of the territory, there was a shortage of materials, and local companies in many industries were involved. If they were all placed under the New Continent and operated on their own, it would almost cut off the trade between the two continents."

"You always think about protection. I think the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to uproot the heavy industry enterprises in the New World? In ancient times, when the vassal countries were ruled, didn't they also restrict the development of the plantation industry?"

"Brother Chai, please stop talking. You come from a military background and you don't understand how difficult it is to govern a country. How can it be as easy as you say? You have to consider that if these big employers are cut down, what will happen to the unemployed people in the streets?

Can’t the primary industry use so many people? Is it possible that the government feeds them with free food? Although it is not impossible, it is undoubtedly a huge waste of human resources! High unemployment will lead to a large number of refugees, making previous violent incidents nothing compared to them.

The country is not a sandbox game, and factories cannot be demolished at your request. Those unemployed people are real people. If they cannot survive or have enough to eat, they will resist. If their interests are violated, they will run out and march with flags. "

Cheng Ying looked at the quarrels among his old subordinates and was quite satisfied. Although his ideas were a bit childish, he was indeed thinking about them. This was a good thing. The governance of the country cannot be decided by just thinking.

Nor can we expect everyone to be a saint, just like Confucian etiquette, Mohism’s universal love, and Yang Zhu’s philosophy of not plucking a hair to benefit the world.

They are all unrealistic and do not consider the material basis but only consider changing human nature.

No one in the world can make everyone in the world consciously observe etiquette, love others as much as they love themselves, or not care about the private property of others. The vast majority of people are selfish. Dad said well, you must use magic to defeat magic. The only thing that can check and balance interests is interests.

Cheng Ying is gratified that at least no one thinks that the problem can be solved as long as the people are taught to abide by morals and laws. This is progress.

"Okay, I've heard everyone's opinions. There are indeed many valuable suggestions. Let me summarize them first! Let's talk about the purpose first.

Should the industrial system of the New World be developed? This is the core of the problem and the basis for our discussion. My opinion is negative. You can raise objections and I will also tell you why I think so. "

After hearing this, everyone calmed down and waited for Cheng Ying to explain his point of view.

"It stands to reason that if a continent does not have its own industrial system, it must be incomplete and seems very unreasonable. I believe everyone thinks so.

I think that if the New World is allowed to develop freely, a new and complete industrial system will inevitably be born, and the competition between multiple industrial systems can promote the development of industry and return benefits to society. This is a process driven by capital. A country under control is an inevitable trend of development.

Otherwise, if a dominant industrial manufacturer has no competitors and monopolizes the industry, it is bound to happen that the store bullies customers. However, we must realize that Tulip is not a country dominated by capital.

To put it bluntly, this country is actually led by me now. Any industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood is an official tulip industry. That is to say, I don’t want to claim to be an emperor, otherwise there would be no sense of disobedience if Tulip turns into an empire. I don’t think it’s appropriate to take the path of capital again.

A high degree of centralization has its benefits. From a purely resource utilization perspective, competition among multiple industrial systems is actually internal friction. With the productivity of the Tulip Duchy, let alone Douluo Continent, it supplies industrial products to the world. None of it is a problem.

The only industrial center is the most resource-saving. I hope to discover it as a goal and use this goal to formulate the next strategy. Of course, I also tell everyone clearly that I have selfish motives for thinking this way.

A state-owned enterprise! You must listen to me, then of course it would be best if there is no competition! Everyone is the first group to follow me and work hard. You must know how many shares you have in Tulip! I don’t like to play nonsense. To be clear, the centralization of industrial centers is also good for everyone here. "

Everyone laughed when they heard this. They found that their Lord Duke had never changed. He had always been the bastard who talked about benefits. It just so happened that they liked this kind of bastard.

"You've said that, so what's there to object to? The next step is to formulate policies based on this strategic tone!" Some people agreed with a smile, but others frowned slightly.

"Although suppressing the industrial development of the New World is indeed beneficial to everyone, the most critical issue, the employment issue, has not been solved. If the New World becomes independent, we will lose a lot!"

"Indeed, the next thing to solve is the resettlement of the unemployed after the factory closes." Cheng Ying nodded. He was the one who suffered the most from the independence of the New World. He must not push too hard.

“This issue must be considered from two aspects. On the one hand, it is the employment issue of immigrants and local residents, and on the other hand, how to appease local capitalists.

Let’s talk about the former first. My suggestion is to vigorously develop the tertiary industry, light industry, avoid heavy industry, and discover electronic products appropriately.

I can tell you clearly that the future development trend will definitely be that the tertiary industry will account for the majority, and will even account for 80% of the economic income. If you are stronger, you can sell your shares in heavy industry and invest in the tertiary industry. However, we have agreed that heavy industry companies will only sell their shares, not buy them. "

Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. No one would be stupid enough to sell shares of heavy industry. Under Tulip's strange political system, these shares mean rights, and rights cannot be bought with money here.
