Revisiting Future Path

The 413th Tech Tree is still to be climbed

Who can master the sea trade, who is the real master of the Shunta Kingdom. At this moment, Yang Xinning is clearly the real power figure in the Shunta Kingdom, and all armed merchant ships are under his direct or indirect jurisdiction. If Wei Dongsheng rashly participates in the sea trade, it is tattered to fight for military power with the power minister Yang Xinning, forcing Yang Xinning to kill him to stabilize his authority.

For safety's sake, Wei Dongsheng had better avoid conflicts such as maritime trade and choose industries with smaller benefits or longer investment returns.

The Shunta Kingdom belongs to a trade-led economic structure, and almost all its citizens indirectly feed in Xiagang. There are almost no valuable specialties in the Shunta Kingdom, and Xiagang is more like a transit port connecting East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Take Mengyuan Marine Merchants as an example. They buy green salt, pepper and other goods on the island of Java, and sell glass beads, gold and silver, colored silk, porcelain, and ironware. Except for Nanyang specialty products and spices, Java Island has almost no pillar industries that can balance imports and exports.

Of course, this is just Shunta in the eyes of the people.

Wei Dongsheng examines the Shunta Kingdom from the perspective of the 21st century, and Shunta can ensure the balance of imports and exports by engaging in some primary and secondary industries casually. After all, it was 1297 at this time. The carrying capacity of merchant ships was limited and the share of ocean trade was also very limited. Several factories might be able to meet the needs of the entire Nanyang. Even if there is a technological moat in the construction of the factory, the Shunta Kingdom can also develop planting as a raw material export destination.

After preliminary investigation, Wei Dongsheng focused on the industrial chain from sugarcane planting to cane sugar production.

In the 21st century, sugar, salt, oil and vinegar are all common to no more common condiments, and these commodities have almost no investment value. But now, after all, it is 1297, which is far away from the Industrial Revolution. Countries all over the world, including Meng Yuan, regard cane sugar as a light luxury item, and they will only buy a few gluttons during the holidays. In the real world, from the 16th to the 18th centuries after the great geographical discovery, sucrose has not only been an important trade material, but has surpassed spices, tobacco, tea, coffee and other raw materials to become the most important commodity for a long time.

Operating the cane sugar industry on Java Island can continue to make profits for at least two to three hundred years.

Speaking of the plantation, it is the agricultural branch of the science and technology tree, which seems to violate the “Prohibition of the Dissemination of Social Science and Natural Science” classroom discipline established by the Inferior Tomorrow.

However, Wei Dongsheng has Wei Dongsheng's ideas, and Wei Dongsheng also has Wei Dongsheng's insistence.

Wei Dongsheng understands the “prohibition of dissemination of social science and natural science” restrictions imposed by the inferior product Mingrihuan. Just like strategy games like Europa Universalis 4, which is a relatively close era, if there is no restriction to prohibit the spread of social science and natural science, the effect is similar to the activation of the all-tech buff in the 1444 copy. With Napoleon's phalanx infantry crushing the medieval infantry of various countries, any player can beat the whole world. This kind of game experience is almost without any difficulty.

Inferior products Mingrihuan’s “prohibition of dissemination of social and natural sciences” constraints have cut off Wei Dongsheng’s natural advantages and raised the difficulty of experience to a normal level. Similarly, taking strategy games such as Europa Universalis 4 as an example, Wei Dongsheng needs to accumulate points to upgrade technology, he needs to build ideas outside of Europe, and experience this game with normal difficulty.

Only in this way can the tenth reincarnation have a certain meaning.

Therefore, Wei Dongsheng understands the difficulties of the inferior Tomorrow Ring and is willing to accept the constraints of the inferior Tomorrow Ring.

However, this does not mean that Wei Dongsheng is willing to live in a muddle-headed manner.

Even if Wei Dongsheng is willing to accept the constraints of the inferior Tomorrow Ring, he will guide the Shunta Kingdom to develop natural sciences with an attitude of "nothing can be said". In Wei Dongsheng's view, social structure and natural science are complementary. Without an industrial foundation, how could human beings form an industrial society? Natural science has stagnated, and social development will very likely also stagnate. What is the point of being reincarnated in the tenth dynasty of small peasant economy?

If the inferior product Mingrihuan forces Wei Dongsheng to be a historical observer who can only watch and listen, then this lesson is fine.

If the inferior Tomorrow Ring forces Wei Dongsheng to be a historical observer who can only watch and listen to the future, then it is not enough.

Whether or not to interfere with history should depend on Wei Dongsheng's heart, not the crude restrictions of the inferior Tomorrow Ring!

As Ming Rihuan said, "Prohibition of dissemination of social sciences and natural sciences" restrictions have loopholes, depends entirely on Wei Dongsheng's self-discipline. As long as it's not a chance to get rid of the difficulty of reincarnation for the tenth generation, why should Wei Dongsheng put on another layer of shackles against his will?

Wei Dongsheng is willing to give up the crushing of 21st century scientific and technological advantages, but insists on guiding the people of Shunta to explore natural sciences with their own wisdom. Taking sugarcane planting and cane sugar production as an example, Wei Dongsheng will not condescendingly spread the technology and research methods of Shunta people in the 21st century, but will use money bait to guide Shunta people to practice and study sugarcane planting technology and cane sugar production technology. As long as he did not deliberately interfere with the research ideas of the people of Shunta, and as long as these natural scientific achievements are derived from the wisdom of the people of Shunta, Wei Dongsheng believes that he has not violated the restriction of "prohibiting the spread of social science and natural science".

Therefore, the technology tree still has to be climbed.

The only difference is that Wei Dongsheng has transformed from a simple and rude communicator to a guide hiding behind the scenes.

Wei Dongsheng’s goal shifted to how to establish a system that fits the times and how to encourage the people of Shunta to stably promote the development of natural sciences.

The topic returns to the sugar industry chain itself.

Nanyang is one of the origins of sugarcane. During the Zhao Song Dynasty, sugarcane was commonly grown on Java Island, and there was no technical threshold. At the same time, Java Island is relatively low-developed, or whoever develops and occupies it, or pays a certain amount of land transaction fees for local indigenous chiefs, Wei Dongsheng can reclaim a large area of ​​sugarcane plantations on the basis of 100 mu. There are many elders of the Southern Song dynasty or the Mengyuan Fourth and other Southerners who fled to Southeast Asia in recent years. It should not be difficult to hire a number of sugar craftsmen.

As a business leader of the Spring and Autumn Department, Wei Dongsheng, even though there are more opportunistic elements with the use of thought control and computer intelligence life, his commercial skills and organizational skills are by no means weaker than ordinary maritime merchants and ordinary plantation landlords in 1297. Compared with Yang Xinning's threat, commercial affairs such as the sugar industry chain cannot be simpler.

The road is set, Wei Dongsheng immediately began to prepare the sugar industry chain.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the spring of 1298, and when it was time for sugarcane planting, Wei Dongsheng started the sugarcane plantation plan as scheduled.

Considering everything is ready, Wei Dongsheng ventured to persuade Yang Xinning to allow him to relocate to Batang, and supervise the chief worker to plant sugarcane in an orderly manner with contemporary agricultural technology. The administrative plan of the Shunta Kingdom is one prefecture and one county, one prefecture refers to Shunta prefecture, and the jurisdiction area is the core essence of Xiagang; one county refers to Batang County, which is said to be a county. In fact, the population size is less than one thousand, not even a township. However, Batang County was the direction of expansion of the Shunta Kingdom. As the cost of living in Xiagang gradually increased, some bankrupt nationals and Mongolian refugees gradually went to Batang County to open up farmland. Wei Dongsheng wanted to develop sugarcane plantations, but he could only go to the deserted Batang County to expand the actual land area of ​​the Shunta Kingdom eastward.

Of course, not everyone is happy to see Wei Dongsheng running the sugar production chain.

For example, Yang Nian Song.

Even though he was so familiar with the crossbow that he could hunt wild boars, Yang Niansong's mind was still filled with Song Ru's dogma. In Yang Nian-song's concept, "the one who works is governed by others, and the one who works is governed by others", and those who work hard are naturally higher than those who work. As the King of Shunta, Wei Dongsheng should work hard to govern the world instead of rushing to grow sugarcane in the fields. After all, no matter how good the sugarcane plant is, it is the talent of farmers, and no matter how good the cane sugar is, it is also the talent of artisans, which is of no benefit to the country.

Sullenly followed Wei Dongsheng to Batang County, Yang Niansong started to talk unexpectedly: "How can you grow sugarcane with a group of ordinary people?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled and said, "What do you do if you don't grow sugarcane?"

Yang Niansong: "Go to study!"

Yang Niansong's so-called reading is not a concept of reading for later generations. The "book" here refers specifically to the four books and five classics of Confucianism. In order to understand the mentality of the scholar-bureaucrat of Zhao Song and Meng Yuan, Wei Dongsheng really needs to read through the four books and five classics. However, Wei Dongsheng has 21st century knowledge and a five-level civilized basic teaching system with inferior Tomorrow Rings. How can he foolishly regard the Four Books and Five Classics as absolute truth? Yang Niansong's suggestions sounded nonsense in Wei Dongsheng's ears.

Wei Dongsheng did not argue with Yang Niansong about the value of the Four Books and Five Classics, and continued to divorce the relationship between Yang Niansong and Yang Xinning's father and daughter: "Why study?"

Yang Niansong subconsciously recites the famous sentence of the "Book of Rites": "Self-cultivation and family management, the country and the world."

Wei Dongsheng deliberately laughed at himself: "What kind of country do you govern! With father (Yang Xinning) and brother (Yang Beiwang) here, the country will be safe and peaceful, and the people will be in peace, so I will govern."

Yang Niansong didn't even understand Wei Dongsheng's irony, thinking that Wei Dongsheng was complimenting Yang Xinning: "With my dad here, you really don't worry a lot. But Nanyang is sweltering and ill, and countless survivors die in their prime. How long can my dad live? What if my dad leaves suddenly unfortunately? Big brother can't support you. My dad often said that he is'unworthy, and it is a blessing to hold on to his family'. Don't expect him to help you much."

Wei Dongsheng was depressed by Yang Niansong's IQ, and simply said more clearly: "Do you think my father is willing to return to me?"

Yang Nian Song was stunned, and then full of anger: "What are you talking about? If it weren't for my dad's support, how could you succeed him ten years ago? My dad would have been a king if he wanted to be, why wait ten more years. You have no conscience, how can you doubt my dad's loyalty?"

Wei Dongsheng pacified Yang Niansong step by step: "It's not that I doubt for no reason, but the impermanence of destiny, and only virtue lives in it. Taking Meng Yuan as an example, the Japanese and Java countries have been defeated one after another. It can be seen that the Mongolian iron cavalry is not invincible in the world. Zhao Songzhi Therefore, the defeat of Yashan is not due to the fact that the country is not as good as the Japanese and Javas, but more because generations of the emperor have lost the country. If the emperor is replaced by the virtuous, even if the "sage is up, the mediocre is down" within the clan, Why do generations after generations have been faint kings? Like Liu Bei entrusted to Zhuge Liang, his father is virtuous and virtuous, and it is only natural to be a great king."
