Chapter 830 Business and Zhou Social Survey Report and Kaesong Planning
General impression: uneven.
There is a huge gap in civilization between different places. With a high degree of civilization, such as the Chaoge, the capital of the country, and the capitals of the four major hou kingdoms in the southeast and northwest, the houses on the street are unconventional and orderly, square, like measured with a ruler, and the people in the city are also well dressed. The Chaoge people are more popular with white hemp or silk products, but recently with the influx of players, a kind of name produced in Sichuan. It is a popular epidemic of exquisite silk. The fine work is completely beyond the current era. Obviously, behind the scenes is driven by players with quick eyes and sharp minds.
In addition, the nobles in the capital generally make exquisite jade utensils in their hands. The jade is bright and white. It comes from the distant Kunlun Jade Mountain, along the Tianshan Corridor and the Qilian Mountain Corridor, which leads to Chaoge. This important commercial road and the jade minerals of Yushan have always been under the direct control of the Shang Dynasty. However, in the recent period, the thief industry on this commercial road is also very prosperous, and the direct consequence is the soaring price of Chaoge jade.
The jade commercial road from the Western Regions to Chaoge, the Silk Commercial Road from Sichuan to Chaoge, and the fishing salt commercial road from the eastern coast to Chaoge. These three commercial roads have both interests and disputes. Many players started from nothing on these three commercial roads. Earn their first bucket of gold in God's time and space. Or from business, or from theft.
There is only the south, and there is no particularly profitable business road, so the popularity is relatively low. This is quite beneficial to our southern strategy.
But the disadvantages are also corresponding.
The degree of development in the south is too low. In a word: there is nothing but resources. In fact, this sentence can be put in most parts of this era. It's just that the south is particularly significant.
Most of the indigenous people in the southern region are naked and have farming, but they are still slash-and-burn, burning the mountains, which is only a few, and most of them are still living a simple and pure primitive life of collection and fishing.
In this era, there are only five cities with transmission arrays, which are the capitals of the Shang and the four major marquis countries mentioned above. The national capital of Nanbohou E Chongyu is set in the area of Huangshi, Ezhou (Jiangxia City seems to be nearby in the Three Kingdoms). From there to the west, it is along the Han River of the Yangtze River, a vast Everglades, known as the "Yunmeng Daze" no man's land. The danger of heaven is rare and inaccessible.
From Ezhou to the south, after crossing the Yangtze River, some people say that the descendants of Danzhu or Dishun, and even the Miao descendants of the Second Emperor of Yanhuang, are the failed tribes in the ancient tribal struggle. They were exiled and moved away.
But they are only outsiders and the lesser party. There is a group of people who arrived earlier than them, with more people and a larger scale, but the first arrivals are not indigenous, because they are also from more distant western or southwest regions. It is another group of failed exiles in tribal strife. These two groups of people, in general, are the group of people who failed to banish from the north, that is, the legendary descendants of Yao Shun and other saints. Those who don't like to wear clothes in fishing and hunting are those who migrated from the west or southwest, but the information gathered from the pioneers shows that their level of civilization does not seem to be as low as their lifestyle. They have very sophisticated pottery technology, at least. And farming technology is not without it. In addition, most of their tribal elders, especially their tribal elders, seem to be struggling to inherit some advanced civilized knowledge.
But it's a pity that because the various natural resources in the south are extremely rich, their people don't need to learn anything else. They only need to master the skills of fishing, hunting and collection to live a comfortable life. So their civilization is on the verge of being lost.
In a word, it is a messy relationship, and no one can sort it out for the time being: our players are randomly born in various tribes in various regions in various identities. They receive various tasks from the tribes and get various (historical) information of their respective tribes from the tasks. Each of them seems to be quite reasonable. But when you put it together, you will immediately find a lot of contradictions and flaws. In a word, either the elders in the tribe made a mistake, or the game system made a mistake!
Let's not mention these things for the time being.
The most important thing is the relationship between their state and each other.
Nanbohou E Chongyu was originally the leader of some E who was located in the south of Nanyang in the north. Because the merchants of the Shang Dynasty had a conflict of interest with the local "foreign natives" in the current Ezhou area. It was probably that the merchants invaded and occupied the land, and the soil in turn plundered and burned the merchants. It caused chaos, so it was sent to suppress it. Finally, the indigenous people in that area were killed, and the living fled to the south of the Yangtze River. So the E family guarded it there, garrisoned in Kaicheng and established the country. Because of its thick foundation and the favor of "Heaven", it quickly developed into one of the most powerful countries in the world. The national capital has also become one of the five cities with transmission arrays in the world.
It is also the only springboard for us to continue to explore to the south.
But it is not a good idea to go directly to the south of the Yangtze River for development as a businessman or a Hubei native. Because of their relationship. In the past hundred years, before the complete growth and rise of the Shang Dynasty, these tribes coexisted with integration and struggle. Occasionally, some awesome people appeared and integrated them into a situation of great unity, which immediately posed a great threat to the Central Plains forces in the north. From time to time, I have to force others to move.
After a former king of the Shang Dynasty married a great tribal chief in the west. The strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it has recently reached its peak, causing great pressure on them. Ezhou City, which is firmly located on the edge of the Yangtze River, is the realization of this kind of pressure.
The tribes in the south are generally not very friendly to the merchants from the north. When doing business, you may also be very simple to touch your conscience and follow the rules. But as long as the business is done, they will leave their territory.
You can immediately touch the knife to rob.
It is difficult to resolve their hatred and resistance in a short time. That is to say, as a businessman, he went to lead the indigenous people there to develop civilization and establish a country. This road is unreliable.
It is also unreliable to lead merchants south to the Yangtze River to destroy the indigenous people. Use merchants to replace it and establish a country on this basis.
This road, according to the legend of Yao Shun in ancient times, did the same in the heyday of his strength. As a result, they successfully conquered the southern region, but the backbone of their tribe was also severely damaged in the war. Their power in the Central Plains was empty, so other forces replaced them.
This is another saying of exile. Therefore, whether Yao Shun's descendants were exiled here after the failure of the struggle, or were they suppressed here after the success of the Southern Expedition, but after success, they were forced to stay here forever because they were taken advantage of their north backyard. No one can tell. Anyway, our players have seen both statements.
They may be conquerors, losers, or both.
But their front car is enough to show that it is not a good idea to bring businessmen to the south. Because even if the Southern Expedition is successful, businessmen will die too much. If more people die, civilization will become a bubble.
(PS, it is said that the Taishi Wenzhong is leading the most elite soldiers of the Shang Dynasty to carry out a huge Northern Expedition War to spread the glory of the Shang Dynasty to the legendary Beihai. It is probably the wonderful cycle of history.)
In view of the fact that the population in this era is too small, even less than in the Three Kingdoms era, and there is not even a BUG of the copycat empire. Therefore, war is by no means a good choice for civilization.
So the seemingly feasible way is peaceful evolution. Let the indigenous players born in the southern tribes lead and lead the evolution of their civilization.
But it's not that easy to say.
The main reason is their living habits. They have long been used to moving apprentices. Those who hunt are migrant apprentices, those who fish are also migrant apprentices, those who eat wild fruits and wild vegetables are also migrant apprentices, and even those who cultivate fields move around!
Such a magical habit is really difficult to understand with our limited life experience.
So we want to lead such a lively group of people to find a place to settle down peacefully, and most of them will change from leisurely fishing and hunting to hard farming in a very short time.
This is by no means an easy thing.
Settling down is just a small step to establish a country!
Fortunately, the three stinky cobblers supported you, Zhuge Liang. After discussion, we came up with a good idea to force Liangshan to be a prostitute.
This requires the cooperation of businessman players.
Generally speaking, it is promoted by businessmen's players in the Marquis of Nanbo, planning the southern expedition and putting on a look of soldiers under the city. ( Well, there is no city, and there is no city hair. It's just a metaphor.)
In this way, under the pressure of the Shang army, the tribes in the south will have to stop the tribal disputes they like to carry out when they are idle, and think about how to unite with the outside world.
Under such pressure, our southern indigenous players have enough time and opportunity. Carry out various operations, such as bringing together the people and horses of various tribes, so as to achieve the first step of establishing a country: the population gathering.
(Someone asked: What if the situation is out of control and Ezhou really comes down?
A: Let's play. As long as you make sure that the loser is the merchant and the winner is the southerner. Anyway, the Shang Dynasty is about to perish.
Another question: Marquis E later joined the anti-business camp.
Answer: That doesn't matter. Anyway, it is only these locals in the south who can help us establish a country as soon as possible!
Q: Can't businessmen really do it? It is easier for businessmen to achieve the goal of building a city!
Answer: If you can find a suitable natural danger area suitable for defense in the southern region to deal with the siege and harassment of the besieged indigenous people on all sides. So it's not completely impossible to bring a group of businessmen to Kaicheng.)
In a word: No matter which method is adopted, we can be sure that in the environment of Shang and Zhou, it will be a long work to open up a country in Lingnan (we may have to open up wasteland before Kaicheng...). In the next year or two, it is unlikely to achieve success in one fell swoop.
There is no shortcut.
So, I suggest that we sell the Sheji God Flag of Dayan!
