Chapter seven hundred and fifth, madness and reason(1/3)
There is often a local king in India's local states. They are basically descendants of the rulers on the land where the state was originally located. Even in today's era of India's great unification, they still have great rights in the local state.
The wind can enter and the rain can enter. New Delhi's policies cannot enter.
They will implement any policies that are beneficial to the local king. They will often disobey any policies that are unfavorable to the local king, and it is difficult to implement them locally.
The local chiefs seem to be appointed by the Central Committee of New Delhi, but in fact, they want to stand firm in the local area, but behind them, they cannot do without the support of the local king. If the local king is unhappy, the position of the chief will be unstable.
Other states often have great earth kings, but there is no earth king in Uttar Pradesh where Varanasi is located. The earth kings here all sink to more places.
This is not unrelated to the geographical location and complex history of Uttar Pradesh. In the ancient Indian era when it was divided, Uttar Pradesh has always been at a strategic impetus. Whether it is to fight south or north or south, the battlefield is easily opened in Uttar Pradesh, around which
Fight an attack and guard battle in the Ganges.
Whenever there is separatist forces in Uttar Pradesh, they will be beaten by the north and the south. Therefore, the forces emerging from Uttar Pradesh will often quickly migrate to the direction of Delhi, and they will not be able to develop based on strategic rush.
Precisely because Uttar Pradesh is a strategic priority, the ancient Indian dynasties all tacitly adopted a strategy of division of power in the Uttar Pradesh region.
During the Mughal period, the entire Uttar Pradesh was cut into three layers of mandalas [understand it is just sphere of influence]. The first level of Shanghejian is the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and the second level of Zhonghejian is the
The land, Xiahejiandi and Ode areas became the territory of Jagir, a military general, during the reform of the land tax system in Akba, which gave birth to the later tax-bearing person, the Chaimindal system, and the Loshirkand was also
Aurangzeb "rewards" to foreign Afghan mercenaries;
The third level is the territory of Hinduism or the native "Mubaiha" state of India. After they surrendered to the Mughals and expressed their loyalty, the original territory was used as their own Jagir [military fief, which can be understood as an obligation.
A fiefdom to support an army to the court].
The current political and economic blocks of Uttar Pradesh are actually not much different from that time. This can be seen from the stability of urban distribution to the 16th century.
For the ancient India that was divided, Uttar Pradesh was a strategic impetus. For the current unified India, Uttar Pradesh was the granary of the world and a political impetus. Uttar Pradesh had a large population and had many votes in its hand. Who would win it?
Uttar Pradesh votes mean that the peak game is stable.
The King of Divine Powers is firmly ranked first, and the rest of the world will compete for the second place.
To a certain extent, Uttar Pradesh influences India's political structure. So what about the wealth of Uttar Pradesh? We, Uttar Pradesh, send someone up to you and throw you a big mouth.
There are good countermeasures below, and the upper ones will come up with policies. Uttar Pradesh has a large population and the speed of giving birth is also fast. The population is growing by a significant increase every year. The more we reach the end, the more the election will tend to play single-player games from LAN games to Uttar Pradesh.
.
When Uttar Pradesh saw that the situation was wrong, he came up with an idea - to freeze parliamentary seats and constituencies. Simply put, it is to freeze the number of votes. No matter how much the population in Uttar Pradesh increases, the number of votes will be fixed.
This happened in 1976. Since then, Uttar Pradesh, which was beaten up, went home to play with itself. Indian political parties have been unwaveringly on the table because the freezing period has a deadline [2026 thawing].
The top efforts to achieve the goal of dismantling Uttar Pradesh, but under the surface, they turned a blind eye to internal conflicts in Uttar Pradesh.
There is no common history, no common social structure, no unified rules and governance framework within Uttar Pradesh, long-term political and cultural divisions, fragmentation caused by communities, and long-term lag in economic and governance.
These have brought not only a lack of development to Uttar Pradesh, but also led to its inability to form a state-level political community because it lacks the underlying political logic and ideological anchors.
A politically divided Uttar Pradesh is very beneficial to a national party in the rising period, and the top Uttar Pradesh, who has served for five years, has not been able to stay safely in the 12 years since 76 years.
Complete his term.
Because these highest officials who come to serve do not represent the interests of the indigenous people of Uttar Pradesh, the policies promulgated and implemented often harm the interests of vested interest groups in Uttar Pradesh.
The political turmoil caused strong uneasiness among the landowners in Uttar Pradesh. They would not cultivate their own land in person, nor would they increase their investment in agriculture. They rented the land directly to tenants and charged high amounts.
Land rent, and carry out usury business on your own.
Tenants cannot create any added value other than filling their stomachs from the land they rented, nor do they have the funds to purchase production tools, irrigation equipment, seeds, fertilizers, and they have no funds to engage in medical treatment and provide high-end consumption such as children's studies.
There is no way that half a big boy will be left in his pocket.
If you need money, you can only borrow from the landlord, and then fall into the vicious circle of compound interest rates, be deeply trapped and unable to escape.
To be honest, the lending activities of landlords in Uttar Pradesh should not be summarized in the category of "ustrious loans". The interest they charge is actually very low, much lower than the interest rate of banks' loans.
But the life of the tenants is so tragic. Not to mention asking for interest, even if the principal is exempted, they will still not be able to make it.
This situation is like a "great charity" lending money to a patient with a "rich disease". If you borrow 10,000 yuan, you will receive 1% interest a year. This interest is not much at all, but when the patient cannot engage in production and cannot create benefits, life
Against the backdrop of a miserable life, the great charity turned into usury.
A kind person with a verbal type will jump out and criticize the "wealth practitioners". "How can this be done? People are so difficult, they cannot avoid interest, and they cannot even have the principal? If my son had to buy it
Villa, if I hadn't been to Omen, I would have donated a large sum..."
Because there are too many good people who are verbal, banks as vulnerable groups dare not lend to these "poor people". They can only bleed silently in their hearts, their teeth are cleaved until they break. They are affectionate in their hearts but must ruthlessly refuse to be pitiful on the surface.
People’s loan application, “Sorry, you do not meet the requirements for our bank’s loan application.”
Bankers dare not provoke sensuality at all. For their own survival, they can only ask their grandparents to lend money to people who are not short of money.
Not short of money means happiness. A happy person spends more, without showing any signs of disgrace, and the bank deals with them without any abuse.
It is also for this consideration that the business strategy of the Nanguo Banking System has always been to absorb deposit users as much as possible and to choose to deal with happy loan users.
After subletting the land, landlords in Uttar Pradesh often turn wealth into luxury goods or more profitable business and financial investments.
Ordinary tenants live daily in the fear of being unable to protect property rights and income, under exploitation and heavy debt oppression, and will not and are not qualified to increase their investment in land.
The lack of confidence in property rights protection and the nature of the landlords' "absent" have led to a long-term lack of incentive system for basic agricultural investment in Uttar Pradesh, a fertile impact plain.

The scenery by the Ganges River made Sophie Masso feel uncomfortable. On the next trip, Nanyi consciously avoided the Ganges River. At the suggestion of Puran, the group went to the small town of Pilicot.
Pilicotti town is a textile town. The handmade Bannalasi silk saris produced here are complex patterns and unique images. The bright silk is inlaid with a large number of golden and silver embroidery flowers, which is the object of people's flock to it.
When it comes to wedding season, this handmade sari is a hot spot in the eyes of the bride. A beautiful sari can make her stand out in the crowd.
South Adam Smith Yi once said a famous saying: "A woman's wardrobe is always missing such a piece of clothing."
All beautiful women like beautiful clothes. Walking on the narrow path of Pilikoti, listening to the crisp sound of the loom echoing in the town. It is located in Pilikoti in the northeast of Varanasi.
Some residents are textile workers, and almost every household has textile machines.
The magenta spinning thread is wrapped around the hand-woven fabric machine, and the exquisite sari is about to be born here. The weaver's hands are running back and forth in an orderly manner and are constantly in full season. The song of the Indian laborers is floating among the crumbling red brick huts and echoes
It has been passed down from generation to generation.
In the sultry workshops with dim light, hazy vision and suffocating air, magenta and bright gold collide and splash, interlaced between horizontal and vertical lines, an old wooden hand-cranked textile machine continuously spit out a round of matches.
Exquisite handmade silk that is exquisitely crafted.
Due to the reduction in production costs of modern textile machinery and the improvement of efficiency, it has impacted the handicraft textile industry and sounded a wake-up call for handicraft textile industry. If they want to survive, they need to seek change, such as expanding their customer base.
Today, the main consumer group of Banarasi Silk in Pilicot has slowly moved from Indian local customers to foreign tourists. Therefore, although this is a settlement of Mubaiha, it is not closed and the residents are friendly.
Every tourist is welcome to visit.
In a workshop, Nanyi and several others were watching the weaver Ali and his son working, while chatting with their son Lanzan Ali.
Lanzan Ali is not afraid of life and is very talkative.
"My grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather is both a textile worker. I was born and raised here and I was destined to be a textile worker." Lanzan Ali crossed his legs and kept pulling threads of silk threads, "I
I have studied in the textile vocational high school, but it is still difficult to find a job outside. I mean I can't find a better job than a textile maker."
Lanzan Ali's English curry tastes very strong, but it does not prevent Nan Yi and others from understanding it.
"Lanzan, have you ever thought about making your workshop bigger?" Nan Yi asked when Lanzan Ali spoke very well.
"I thought about it, but it was useless to think about it. Two hundred years ago, India's imitation trade and caste system were inseparable. Basically, we who work in textile workers were all Mubaiha, who inherited the father's business, from grandfather to grandson, artistic skills
Passed from generation to generation.
If you want to expand the workshop, you need to recruit textile workers. This is very difficult. Although we don’t make much, we don’t have to worry about work. One sari needs to be made for about a month, and the work of more than a dozen saris a year is here.
All workers can receive it.
Also, I don’t have the ability to get a lot of stable and profitable orders.”
"Lanzan, doing a career does not necessarily require you to be able to complete all the work yourself. The earth has entered the era of global collaboration. You can be responsible for production and handing over sales to your partners."
"Sir, you don't know enough about India. I have heard of what you said, but it's difficult to do this in India." Lanzan Ali smiled bitterly.
"Adam, you can call me Adam. I haven't been in India for too long. I can't talk about it at all. But I think there are some things you have to try first, so it won't be too late to delay your own livelihood.
You can take time to try to find a partner.”
"Can I?" Ranzan Ali asked inconspicuously.
"Try it, there's nothing wrong with being young." Nan Yi encouraged again, then turned to Sophie Marso, "Have your masterpiece been designed?"
Sophie Masso pushed her drawing paper between the two, "Adam, look, I want to draw a few butterflies here, but I have never been able to draw them well. I will tell you my thoughts, you can help
I draw."
"I can't draw, it's not as good as you've painted it. You should tell Lan Zan directly that he can weave beautiful patterns, and drawing will definitely not be a problem for him."
"Yes, miss, I can draw, tell me how to draw." Lanzan Ali said in response.
Sophie Marso and Marion both have to customize clothes at his workshop, and they are very high-end customizations. As long as the order is taken next, he will not have to worry about the order in the next few months.
"Ah, here, I need a blue butterfly, here I need a golden butterfly, the kind with gold wire edges..."
Sophie Marso completely expressed her ideas, and Lanzan Ali presented the effects one by one on paper according to her ideas.
I have to say that Lanzan Ali has good painting skills, and the butterflies he draws are lifelike and look very spiritual.
Sophie Marso, Marion and Ranzan Ali were in exchange, and Nanyi started chatting with Old Ali through Puran and listened to Old Ali telling the history of Bannarasi Silk.
