Chapter 291 (2/2)
So the farmers can work at ease.
They can even walk barefoot in the mud and look at the businessmen sitting in the carriage with haughty eyes.
Because of social status.
To be honest, many peasant uprisings could have been avoided if the social status of ancient Chinese peasants was not higher than that of officials.
In a country, if the peasants revolt, it means that they really don't live long.
It is not to say that peasant uprisings can be successful. There are few successful peasant uprisings since ancient times.
The implied meaning of the peasant uprising is: the farmers in this country are getting restless, and everyone has no mind to plant the land!
There are many reasons for this restlessness, but there is only one result: the food has been greatly reduced, for the sake of food, we have put together!
Africa produces very little food.
In other words, no matter how many colonies there were in Africa, the Romans could not have received food.
Most of the food was in the vicinity of Macedonian territory and Rome.
Although these places are good, you can't look at the number of Roman legions - more than three million standing soldiers are provided by the state.
There is no money and resources in Rome. The problem is that the purchase of grain can't keep up with the investment of money. Is there anything worse than buying the same quality grain with twice the amount of money?Yes, with three times the money to buy!
This is the case in Rome.
Carthage is much better, because it is a fighting people, living in a cold land, so almost all of Carthage's food depends on the tower of Babylon.
The tower of Babylon, which stands in the sky, is full of sunshine, and millions of Jin of grain are transported from it every year. At this time, monsters will appear one after another, so it is necessary to eliminate them every year.
Although the fighting capacity of the silver kingdom is boasted, its population is very small, only about two million people are scattered in snow covered areas. Only when fighting, can they be moved by the order of the king of silver to gather together.
Even so, they can make up an integrated army of 100000 in 20:1, which is very strong.
The Macedonians needless to say, the Egyptians in this period were still very rich. In addition, the sweet land near Asia Minor made it possible to supply legions of more than one million people without any pressure. Here we mean the financial aspect.
And then Camero.
Hongyeling, the richest economic center in Camero, began to purchase grain eight years ago, which was not many years ago, but gradually began to purchase a large number of grain after one year, until kailaer was on the top.
The system of military control has been in force for three years by Kailar.
The so-called military control system is manifested in the fact that all kinds of secret industrial and agricultural prescriptions will never be reserved and grain will not be exported.
In fact, there are rules to follow when exporting luxury goods with high prices and then buying grain at high prices back home to promote economic development. Grain and money rotate from farmers, merchants and countries respectively, and the state pays only fruit, porcelain and silk.
Luxury for economy, incomparably powerful.
Here we can see that science and technology are coming, just as modern Sam relies on weapons for oil, and China relies on weapons for minerals. Kamelo, who relies on economic strength to exchange grain, now has the largest grain reserve among all countries.
Everything is because of Keller's deeply embedded sentence in the Chinese concept: the three armed forces are not moved, food and grass go first! (to be continued.
