Chapter 253
"In fact, the role of wool and cotton cloth is not only to keep out the cold and drive the economy, but also to become a weapon for my Great Qin to launch an economic war against foreign countries. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
"Economic warfare?"
Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.
He already has enough experience, and every time Fusu mentions a new term, he can have something new.
"Father, do you know why the former Donghu herdsmen on the prairie today don't care about Tuoba Su's death, and very much support the Donghu cavalry being reorganized into the First Cavalry Regiment Affiliated to Daqin?"
Fusu didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile.
"Since being defeated by Fusu, this Tuoba Su's prestige among Donghu has been seriously damaged, coupled with greed and cruelty, it is already unpopular.
And the Donghu cavalry followed my Daqin to win many battles, and although the loot obtained was only one percent, it was also a lot, so they were naturally willing to follow my Daqin. "
"What's more, if you don't follow my Great Qin, then it will be the enemy of my Great Qin, and the Xiongnu and Dayue Clan will be their end. "
A hint of murder flashed on Ying Zheng's face.
"For the Donghu cavalry who followed me Daqin, this is indeed the case.
But Donghu Zhi is in the middle, but there are other herdsmen who have not been recruited, and now they are also very supportive of my Great Qin, why do you think this is?"
Fusu asked with a smile.
"This should be because I saw Tu'an's life improving day by day since he merged into my Great Qin, right?"
"As far as the minister knows, in addition to Donghu, many generals in the Western Regions also have the idea of attaching Great Qin and becoming a part of Great Qin. "
Meng Yi groaned.
"And what about the more specific reasons?"
Fusu continued to ask.
"Your Highness just mentioned the wool trade war, if the minister guessed correctly, it should be related to this wool, right?"
Feng Zheng looked around for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
"That's right, it's because of this wool!"
"Don't underestimate this wool, although the value is very low, but in the prairie, it can be seen everywhere, and the herdsmen can get a lot of income just by selling the wool. "
"Today, these steppe herders prefer to raise sheep, especially sheep, which produce more wool, than horses and cattle. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
"Your Highness means that these steppe herdsmen, due to the wool economy, have changed their habits and become tame?"
Wang Ben exclaimed with an exclamation on his face: "If this is the case, it doesn't take a few generations, these original grassland herdsmen will be completely assimilated by my Great Qin and complete to become my Great Qin's herdsmen!"
"Exactly. "
Fusu smiled: "This little wool, the effect of economic warfare, you must have understood!"
The officials looked at each other, and they were all slowly shocked.
The effect of this economic warfare launched through wool is too incredible, right?
The originally unruly steppe barbarians were tamed by inconspicuous wool?
However, by substituting himself on the grassland side, the officials quickly understood.
Compared with being displaced, there is no guarantee, and from time to time you have to go out to rob desperately, raising sheep and selling wool for Daqin, but there is a long-term and stable income guarantee.
In addition, he has been completely subdued by Daqin and does not dare to go against Daqin, which has become the best choice for Daqin to shepherd sheep.
If this continues, it will not take several generations, and the source of income of the grassland people will completely depend on Daqin and be completely subordinated to Daqin, and by then Daqin's immigration to the prairie has already been completed, and the grassland will be completely controlled by Daqin.
The prairie, which had threatened the Central Plains for thousands of years, became the best horse ranch and cavalry training base in Great Qin.
The officials had to admire Fusu's foresight.
Even Ying Zheng was impressed.
"It's unheard of to subdue the grassland herdsmen like this, and my father doesn't know how you came up with Fusu. "
"The cotton economic war and wool are actually the same truth, that is, by signing a long-term cotton purchase and sales contract, the region will rise cotton planting fever and become an economic vassal of our Daqin. "
"Once the region has any disrespect for my Daqin, there is no need to send troops, and the cotton purchase is directly suspended, and they have no cotton spinning technology, they have to face a pile of useless cotton, and it is difficult not to mess up!"
Fusu said with a smile: "And the land of each country is extremely limited, once cotton is planted on a large scale, there is not so much land to grow food, and how to control a country through food, you must be very familiar with it!"
Ying Zheng and the hundred officials took a deep breath in unison.
This strategy is too vicious, isn't it?
Directly through the economic interests of cotton, let a country fall into the control of Daqin, without any backhand.
The economic income depends on Daqin, and even the grain has to rely on Daqin for export, which is completely powerless for Daqin.
What's even more terrifying is that this is an obvious conspiracy, even after it is implemented, some people see the stakes, and there is no way to stop it.
Unless you can come up with crops that are more profitable than cotton, or surpass Daqin in cotton spinning technology.
Otherwise, these people and the entire production chain that have already planted cotton will rise up in groups to besiege the blockers.
No matter how much Great Qin fanned the flames, there was no need for Great Qin to send troops, and the whole country would have civil strife or even civil war.
This is completely the use of Great Qin's advanced technology to colonize and control the economy of the rest of the countries.
"This!"
Even Ying Zheng sighed for a long time, and he had the feeling that he couldn't keep up at all.
"Now, my father and the courtiers should understand that the advanced technology that Fusu said before is the primary productive force, and it is a vital truth!"
Fusu said in a deep voice.
Before Fusu vigorously promoted the production of science and engineering, the establishment of the Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, for this reason did not hesitate to directly harden steel with the conservative diehards, and used the storm of government to sweep away many opponents, although the government and the opposition expressed their support in action, but it was not that no one complained in private that Fusu had done too much.
And now, Fusu has proved the importance of science and technology with facts, and directly let this group of courtiers see the fate of backwardness in science and technology.
I believe that through today's moment, the important ministers of Great Qin will have a deeper understanding of the importance of science and technology.
And the tide of Daqin's scientific and technological development will also be better implemented as the courtiers are truly convinced.
And the fact that science and technology have always been far ahead is the foundation that Great Qin will be able to maintain the foundation of the Qin soil under the whole world after laying down the empire that never sets in the future.
