Ye Bei, with Lu Xiaoxiao's dual identity, introduced the phenomenon and essence of industrialization of the great powers, and then proposed the idea of ​​eliminating the middlemen in Jiuzhou.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Li were both confused, intermediaries, what kind of intermediaries?

"Don't keep it in hiding." Zhou Li saw Ye Bei suddenly stopping and urged him to speak quickly. Although Professor Zhou rarely thinks about these issues, he is interesting to listen to Ye Bei's words now, so he wants to continue listening.

"The next content belongs to the core content of our atomic nucleus. You can't spread it after listening to it. Only after joining our atomic nucleus can you tell them what I said as your guiding ideology." Ye Bei was very serious. He hoped that both of them could keep it secret.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she didn't seem to agree to join the nucleus, but at this time she nodded, assuming that she was already a member of the nucleus.

"In fact, it's very simple. This problem is not only the reason for obstructing the industrialization of Jiuzhou, but also the reason for the continuous changes of dynasties in Jiuzhou history. It is because there have always been a group of middlemen who earn price difference on the continent of Jiuzhou. There was a saying that the emperor ordered not to go down to the town, saying that the emperor would at most manage the city unit, and then go down to the town, village, pavilion would not be under the emperor's management, but local middlemen. If the emperor wanted to collect taxes, they were handled by these middlemen, so they could deceive their superiors and conceal their subordinates, collect more but pay less, and all the difference would be filled with their own pockets."

"Isn't that the landlord?" Lu Xiaoxiao said that Ye Bei was really funny. The landlord was just a landlord, and there were some middlemen. But after hearing this, she couldn't help but think about the relationship between middlemen and industrialization. She felt that a large number of famous entrepreneurs were started by landlords, and most of the shops in Tonghai City were owned by landlords. Tonghai City had such a developed trade economy and these landlords were inseparable from these landlords: "I think what you said was wrong. What you said was the old Huangsheng, which was the thing that happened before the Northern Dynasties. Now, take Tonghai City as an example. Landlords are the leader in industrialization. Many of our factories and stores in Tonghai City were made by them. You said you wanted to eliminate middlemen. Isn't this just digging your own grave?"

Zhou Li nodded again. He didn't know who he listened to, and it made sense. He was a technical person and had no insight into these strategic issues.

Ye Bei saw that Lu Xiaoxiao was not just listening, but also thinking, thinking that she was indeed a strange woman. She did not refute it for the sake of refuting, but refuting it based on the actual situation, which at least shows that she knew Tonghai’s situation very well.

"However, this is the problem." Ye Bei said: "Industry requires agricultural surplus to be developed. Why can middlemen have money to invest in light industry? It is because they extracted a large amount of agricultural surplus from the countryside, which led to a sharp deterioration in the rural situation. Looking at the Dongcheng District of Tonghaicheng, you can know that a large number of bankrupt farmers have lost their land. The behavior of middlemen makes it even worse for farmers who are already struggling to make a living. At the same time, these middlemen will try their best to transfer their assets abroad and evade taxes, which is the same as before." "So we want to eliminate middlemen, to ensure that when obtaining agricultural surplus, rural people can have enough food and don't have to worry about being killed by industrialization. Secondly, the profits of middlemen are concentrated and introduced into heavy industry with large investments to establish a complete industrial system. Of course, this is just a solution to a problem, and there is also the market problem of industrialization next."

"This is a solution to a problem?" Zhou Li was already a little breathless: "This problem is more difficult than climbing to the sky."

"It is indeed difficult, because we Jiuzhou people are indigenous people. We do not kill all the indigenous people in the colonies like the great powers, occupy the land by ourselves, and plunder without any scruples. The first thing we need to consider is the survival of the farmers. In order to allow them to survive, we must solve the middlemen, which is the reason for this."

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "You are really ruthless. Now many young people in Tonghai City want to 'get out of Jiuzhou and become holy grace', and even abandon culture. But after listening to your analysis, abandoning culture is not enough to achieve this goal. To truly achieve the goal, you must kill the lower-class indigenous people of Jiuzhou."

"They only saw the power of the great powers, and wishfully thought that under the appearance of the great powers, they must be a superior civilization, but they did not think that industrialization was not a romantic thing at all, and the civilization of the great powers was not superior to others." Ye Bei said: "It's a pity that their eyes cannot see the essence, they only see some fur."

"Eliminating the middlemen only solves the resource problem, so what about the market problem?" Lu Xiaoxiao said. She admitted that what Ye Bei said before was indeed something that the predecessors had not considered before. After all, those predecessors were all middlemen, and it was impossible to say that they had defeated themselves.

But after the middlemen were eliminated, where did the goods produced in Jiuzhou be sold? The great powers could sell goods wherever warships went. So, can the Jiuzhou learn from the great powers?

Ye Bei thought that he had told Su Feng before, but he was shocked. Now he won’t say it: “The first step is not done yet, so don’t think about the second step. Besides, our nucleus is not engaged in these struggles. We are technologically oriented, in order to break through the blockade of the great powers, rather than to fight against intermediaries. We must figure out our positioning. The reason I said so much is to tell you that the work of the nucleus is valuable. Our efforts are prepared for the new Jiuzhou without intermediaries. We cannot slack off and must constantly develop technology, especially in the next eighty years, the development of the electrical era. We are not much behind. Although we are much behind in the era of steam large machines, if we grasp the electrical era, we may be able to overtake."

Lu Xiaoxiao also hoped that Ye Bei would say more, and she had never felt this way before. She did not expect such a thing whether she listened to scientists talking about modern technology or the international situation. It can only be said that Ye Bei looked at the problem so clearly that it made people wonder if he had predicted the future.

However, Ye Bei was right. The atomic nucleus is still interested in technology, and his view on future technology is still very sharp.

"Mr. Ye is very ambitious." Lu Xiaoxiao has heard many discussions by scientists, but no one has suggested that the future is the electrical era: "I just don't know why Mr. Ye thinks the future is the electrical era?"

"Because the electrical era is shrinking the world, which is conducive to the development of capital generated by industrialization, so capital will continue to invest in electrical products, and the electrical era will naturally develop greatly. Therefore, the main purpose of our atomic nucleus is to seize the electrical era and develop various power generation equipment and electronic products to gain more initiative." Ye Bei said: "I don't know my answer, are you still satisfied?"

So satisfied, Lu Xiaoxiao has decided to join the nucleus now: "So what should we do next?"
