Chapter 669 Is This Here To Give Benefits?
After an afternoon of discussion, the placement of the Maurya Dynasty has been thoroughly determined.
Although it is nominally a meeting and negotiation between the Great Qin Dynasty and the Maurya Dynasty.
But in fact, from the beginning of the meeting, it was the Daqin side who proposed the planning and resettlement plans after the Maurya Dynasty, and the Maurya Dynasty side did not have any opinions at all on these various arrangements proposed by the Daqin Dynasty.
Because the opinion put forward by Daqin is simply a great thing for the Maurya Dynasty.
It's too late for them to thank, so how could they object?
But at this time, of course, when everyone in the Peacock Dynasty laughed secretly, so did Ying Yu.
It seems that these agreements are all unilaterally provided by Great Qin to give great convenience to the Maurya Dynasty.
It can even be said that Daqin is helping the poor and giving them benefits.
But in fact, if you think about it in the long run, the benefits that Daqin can get from such a work are far greater than the current efforts.
The first thing I want to say is that the emerging industries in Daqin are close to saturation, and they are beginning to impact the old industries. Although Ying Yu has been suppressing them, there are still constant frictions.
If things go on like this, conflicts will break out sooner or later.
At that time, Daqin's economy will inevitably be impacted.
If this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, such a situation will definitely appear in the future.
This is the consequence of a revolution, even if it is just an industrial revolution.
At this time, Da Qin could not allow such a loss, because not long after Ying Yu came to power, he planned to expand.
This is only one of the reasons. In addition, although all the actions of Daqin seem to be convenient for the Peacock Dynasty.
But when providing them with convenience, their labor is actually needed.
Because the Maurya Dynasty has lived in extreme hardship for so many years.
So for them, their requirements are very low.
Compared with hiring Daqin workers to work, using the people of the Maurya Dynasty will greatly reduce labor costs.
In other words, with the same amount of money, you can even find ten times more workers.
Such a large number of low-cost labor may not be seen as important at present.
But Ying Yu's vision is not comparable to that of people in this era. What he values is the future.
Although the work efficiency of machinery is much higher than that of manual work, this is because many tasks do not require high precision, so simple machinery can completely replace the role of manual labor, and the cost is lower and the efficiency is higher.
But in the future, with Daqin's current level of technological development, it won't take long for people to be engaged in more specialized industries.
At that time, limited by materials, knowledge system, etc., machines that can complete those high-precision tasks will inevitably be impossible to manufacture so simply.
Even if Ying Yu is a modern person, let alone he is not a real scientist, even he was the most professional scientist in a field in his previous life.
Then his major can only be within his field, and the development of science and technology to a certain level requires the cooperation of various fields.
Therefore, Ying Yu has no delusions at all, that he can achieve modernization in a short period of time, and even he has already prepared for it, and it is impossible to see the products of those modernizations in his lifetime.
He really wanted Daqin to cross the barriers of the ages, but even if it crossed the ages, it was impossible to directly cross the modern age.
This is a leap that requires a lot of experience and long-term accumulation of technology.
But in the industrial age, it doesn't need to be so cutting-edge.
Ying Yu doesn't want to allow everyone to develop, everyone is aware that manpower is more expensive than machinery.
Once this kind of idea rises in the world and most people's hearts, the cost of employing people will immediately rise.
When a large amount of human work is required, the possible cost is unimaginable now.
The people of the Maurya Dynasty can solve this problem very well, and indoctrinate them with ideas from this time on.
They are here to work, and the more you work, the more you get, and the more you get, the better your life will be.
Let them think that as long as they work hard, they will be able to get more things and get a better life.
Compared with the previous ideas of the Maurya Dynasty, it can be described as an unprecedented change.
Because in the previous Maurya Dynasty, no matter how much they paid, they would not get anything in return.
Now, Ying Yu gave them a chance to eat and clothe themselves as long as they worked hard, so how could they not accept it.
This can be regarded as Ying Yu's plan for a rainy day. Ying Yu wants to rule the people of the Maurya Dynasty economically, technically, and ideologically.
These are plans on the level of socio-economic and technological development.
Afterwards, Ying Yu proposed a more important reform, concerning humanities.
Ying Yu proposed that the nobles of the Maurya Dynasty should be completely cleaned.
When this topic was brought up, the faces of the ministers of the Peacock Dynasty, including the eldest prince, finally changed.
If everything that Ying Yu proposed before was for the sake of the Peacock Dynasty, then Ying Yu's request at this moment has already touched the fundamental interests of their senior management.
Ying Yu directly said that the Maurya Dynasty is now a country that has fully surrendered. For the current Maurya Dynasty, there is no need for nobles and everyone should be equal.
As soon as Ying Yu said this, all the ministers felt as if they had been struck by lightning, which was tantamount to a death sentence for them.
Before the surrender of the Maurya Dynasty, even though the country was already in decline, their quality of life did not decline at all as the nobles of the country and as the top leaders of the country.
After surrendering now, Ying Yu directly told them to cancel all nobles in this country, and everyone stood on the same level.
That means that even though they are still ministers in this hall at the moment, after today, all their identities will be deprived and they can only become the most ordinary people in Daqin.
This is a very unacceptable proposal for those of them who are used to high-level and noble life.
The ministers exchanged glances with each other, and Ying Yu completely noticed their actions.
The reason why they did this was because they couldn't accept the fact that they were about to become civilians.
All of this was within Ying Yu's expectations, even if they had more ideas, they couldn't change anything.
It is a beautiful fantasy that everyone is equal, although Ying Yu knows that people will never be truly equal.
But Ying Yu also knows that if everyone is equal, such a society, such a world, must be beautiful.
It is precisely because it is beautiful that such an idea is called a fantasy.
