C3172 Only perverts can survive (1/2)

Xiao Letian's words were loud and clear, like iron ingots smashing into the newly built people on the stage. Everyone could tell from the words that it was not easy for the Chinese to rise to prominence, and blood and tears flowed out from every word.

Changing one's fate was not an easy thing. Not to mention a country or its people, even if it was a clan or clan, wanting to change their fate and improve their social status was a difficult and difficult task.

From the moment the geographical discovery was made, the Chinese people had already started falling behind. The fall of the Chinese civilization definitely did not start with the Industrial Revolution, but started from the time the geographical discovery was made.

Before the Industrial Revolution, Europe had accumulated enough capital for the capitalist revolution through the plundering of resources by sea, and that was sufficient money.

China has been short of gold and silver since ancient times, and there aren't many gold and silver mines in Europe! But one of the first things about the development of capitalism is that there is an adequate supply of money, which is the foundation of everything.

Spain and the Portugal plundered countless amounts of silver and gold through trade with the backward races, including robbery. These precious metals were transferred through their hands to the English and French and other countries such as Prussia.

With the support of such a large amount of precious metal, only a weak business like a merchant would be able to become a capitalist!

One needed capital to level up!

It was precisely because the capitalists were becoming more and more powerful that they had enough money to hire an army to fight against the king's army. That was the reason for the subsequent revolution, the capitalist revolution!

During the period of the Great Geographic Discovery to the Industrial Revolution, Europe had already begun to consolidate its foundations, and at that time, China was still in the most primitive of farming civilizations.

The Ming Dynasty was still sealing up the country, forcefully suppressing the merchant class, and even using the strict household registration system to lock down the people's right to move.

The backwardness of Chinese civilization, in fact, could not be blamed entirely by the Qing Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty, some clues had already begun to appear!

What were Europeans doing when the Ming dynasty was closed down? Spaniard was risking her life in South America Continent to snatch gold and silver!

Within three hundred years, the Spaniard snatched 2.5 million kilograms of gold and 100 million kilograms of silver from the South America, accounting for 83% of the world's precious metals production at that time.

In those three hundred years, Spain had reduced the purchasing power of gold and silver by more than twofold across Europe and the Ottoman Empire.

There was indeed a certain amount of gold and silver transported to China for porcelain, silk, tea... But it was definitely just a little scraps. Most of the precious metals ended up as the burning fuel of the capitalist revolution!

The Industrial Revolution was just a superficial phenomenon caused by this power. If one only analyzed the disparity between East and West from the beginning era of the Industrial Revolution, it would be a very serious mistake.

They lost the strength of 2.5 million kg of gold and 100 million kg of silver, but they were simply analyzing Industrial Revolution? This kind of mistaken perception was either that of someone who didn't know anything or someone with ulterior motives!

Xiao Letian's theory had lengthened the time axis and redefined the boundary between the strength of Eastern Western Civilization s.

If China wanted to rise up again, it would be much more difficult than he imagined. At the beginning of the teleportation, Xiao Letian also thought that changing fate by changing fate was not so complicated for saving China.

To build a strong army, to carry out strong industrialization, and to put forward some technology in advance with the help of Golden Fingers, they would naturally overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a new China.

Maybe if it was even a little bit better, it would be able to catch up to the beauty of the United Kingdom, or even destroy the sun, the government would colonize the solar system!

However, in reality, only after taking one step at a time along the path of Blood and Tears did Xiao Letian understand that even if he was a transcender who wanted to use the power of capitalism that he accumulated in Europe for three to four hundred years, it was still impossible for him to do so!

How many gold fingers do you need for a Transcender? How big an army were they going to build? How large an industrial area are you going to build?
