A few people were silent, these years, those who are dedicated to the country and open-minded can't survive for one episode, under the reverse elimination, the rectum, patriots basically can't survive, and those who can stay in the parliament are basically the intestines in the stomach, and they basically can't see the truth in their mouths, and even if they hear a simple conversation, they can imagine thousands of miles away.

Don't forget, even Cromwell himself is a small nobleman, according to the Chinese, that is, the world is favored by the emperor, and the living Cao Cao of the emperor is pushed back, and he has already borne a lot of pressure in doing so.

They were playing their cards to each other, and now, in the countryside of England, the Royalists, although they were beaten down, did not really submit, but began to shrink their forces, hiding in their own nests to lick their wounds.

Cromwell fully understood that the reason why the citizens of the new cities supported him was nothing more than that the policies they adhered to seemed to be beneficial to them, but if they could not bring them immediate benefits and profits, this support would immediately turn into an opposing force, the mass movement has always been a typical example of violent disorder, there are countless examples of loving you today and killing you tomorrow, in the final analysis, where do the low-level traders understand the subtlety of connecting horizontal and vertical? will only be there to clamor this emperor cowardly, that one is very powerful.

This is the difficulty of being a dictator, not only to do good deeds, but also to tell everyone that you are doing good deeds, and you have to distribute how many benefits you give to your hardcore supporters, and this benefit must be to squeeze those poor bottom dicks, this ratio, give too much, dick silk will not do it, supporters will be wasted, give less, dick silk will not think of your good, and supporters will not do it.

"Cement? It sounds good, but it's a very expensive thing, I don't think that the current civilians have such a big cost to afford a house, and the soap, it also sounds expensive, do ordinary civilians want to spend this cost. ”

"This, it seems that it is about to be discussed slowly, but the Chinese general has proposed a very widely used and very advanced sales method in China, and I am very interested in this."

"Consumption patterns, what?"

"It is said that it is called pyramid scheme, it is a kind of magic that once it is used, the devil cries and howls, and the world is invincible, once any country introduces it, then everyone in the people is like a chicken, does not eat, does not sleep, and goes in to work every day with high spirits, and there is no possibility of being lazy and discouraged."

Cromwell frowned, how did this sound like a fool, and said, "Well, how do you proceed?" ”

"I don't understand a lot of Chinese words, such as regional manager, big manager, lecturer, big lecturer and so on, but it is said that it is the research of several great economists in China hundreds of years ago, and I think it always hurts to look at it."

"Oh, okay, find the time to take a look."

"Well, he has a few books here, but it is said that the compilers were Englishmen who came to China from the mainland countless years ago, and they compiled a few books based on Chinese economics, and the Chinese general gave them to me."

Cromwell took the book, nodded, and said, "The Planned Economy Guidebook?" "On MLM"? ”

"Well, I looked at it, the planned economy seems to be very interesting, the people in the book believe that because of the private individual workers, the market leads to all kinds of blind and irrational investment, so often bankruptcy, bankruptcy, the point of the planned economy, is to stop this blind movement, to put the economic power in the hands of those really good professional managers, so that the efficiency of the whole country and society can be greatly improved, in fact, China also does this."

Cromwell nodded again and again, and said, "Show me the book." ”

This is definitely a major event in the city of London, although it is already winter at this time, muddy roads, bad weather, did not prevent the nobles in the city of London from going to the scene, they are talking in groups of three or five about the scene of the Chinese, at this time, China, first of all, was not observed by the merchants how I was embarrassed by the Qing Dynasty, nor was it seen through the reality by the previous opium wars, or the prestige of the distant empire is still there, especially those rare treasures placed in the hall, but also made this first impression good.

Xu Hao was a little nervous, he was not too afraid that someone would murder him, or other cowardice, but the reception ball as a welcome was definitely full of people, there were many guests, he was afraid that he would have something to lose his ugliness, and lose the face of his own people in the rear, of course, it seems that if you think about it carefully, it is nothing, after all, he is a powerful party, even if there is any mistake, no one dares to laugh, hum.

There is a big benefit, although Xu Hao claims that he doesn't know English, in fact, he still can, although he lost the written and spoken English he learned to the teacher in the three years of high school, but under the teaching of countless movies and countless American women, it is still okay to listen to some dialogues, which is very important for a person like him who engages in diplomacy.

It was Williams who entertained Xu Hao, but at this time Williams was also much more affectionate, not only the good things that those planned economy guidebooks really have, if the British Empire really did this, it would definitely be an immortal power with immediate results in the short term, and also found a few old professors to study those chemical equations, and they all nodded again and again, although they didn't understand what the prospect was, but they did get good things.

Of course, it's one thing to have an equation, but the specific process is difficult with hundreds of processes, and without the machines provided by the Presbyterians, it is almost impossible to start work.

It still needs human guidance in this area, but it is indeed the real thing, and it is very conceivable.

At this time, the study of chemistry in Europe was still very primitive, at least the periodic table was almost impossible to make, and chemical formulas naturally needed to be taught a little by the elders.

"Mr. Williams, your Chinese is getting better and better, are you interested in opening a Chinese class at a university in your country, I am willing to pay a certain subsidy to subsidize these young people who are willing to learn the knowledge of our country."

Xu Hao complained in his heart, if such a small academy can really be established, then those who have completed their studies must be born to show affinity for China as long as they are still mixed in the UK, so as to obtain private interests, then their resolution to build the Belt and Road Party is still good.

"Ah, is that really the case, I'm a Cambridge graduate, if that's the case, I can find enough people who know Chinese, and if you can support some, it would be even better."

Xu Hao thought about it, and those scholars of the Ming Dynasty came to the UK to teach the Four Books and the Five Classics? People are strong people who have been immersed in philosophers for hundreds of years, after all, the Four Books and the Five Classics are two thousand years ago, and some people actually think that how many years have people developed, and they are not as good as you two thousand years ago?

"Cambridge University, that's good, if you can, I'll visit another day to discuss the matter of running a school, it's best to strike while the iron is hot, and build this college next year, in other words, there are not many people in Britain who know Chinese."

"Ah, our main focus is still on India and Africa, which is a bit difficult."

"I still have great admiration for the brave sailors of your country, and it would be nice if they could be more law-abiding."

Xu Hao didn't care about what he said, these days, the king and queen took the lead in investing in pirates to rob the natives of other countries, this kind of thing can't be changed by saying a few words by himself.

Williams smiled awkwardly, these days, maritime merchants and pirates are just stupid and can't tell the difference, and they can't blame others.

"By the way, there's something I have to ask."

"You say."

"As an emissary, I originally thought that there would be a king in your country, but now the king of your country has been expelled by you, but I really can't imagine what kind of government you are now, and I can't tell me that if I leave, everything may be nullified."

"No, no, we are the power of the people, we are the parliament after all, we can sign a guarantee with you, even if it is ...... Even if the king is restored, your interests will be respected enough. ”

Xu Hao said: "That's good, speaking of which, I don't have to go to Oxford to meet the king, but if I can bring the news, it means that I have no intention of choosing a side in your country's civil war, but when I set off, your country was still a peaceful country, and when I arrived here, I was already at war." ”

"No, that king is still mediocre and can no longer represent the interests of the people, I think we can depose him in the name of the parliament!"

Xu Hao suddenly laughed evilly and said, "By the way, who is the new king, is it the Cromwell general, in this case, I have to prepare another generous gift for him." ”

Williams panicked, if the young Chinese really had this kind of thinking, it would be a bad thing, and immediately refuted the rumor: "No, no, he has no inheritance rights, he will not elect him, maybe he will choose one of the king's nephews." ”

Xu Hao is really a little strange and regretful: "You died tens of thousands of people in the war, just for that king to be mediocre, but in the end, one can't kill him, and after the other deposes him, you have to let his son and nephew ascend the throne, isn't it strange." ”

Williams looked at him and said, "Isn't it always like this?" ”

Xu Hao said, "Maybe." ”

This is too different from the Chinese.

Chinese have always paid attention to it, your grandfather is more powerful than my grandfather, but after we look at it, every time it fluctuates slightly, the first thing to be impacted is those noble existences, after all, these fat pigs have eaten for hundreds of decades, even the maids in the family may also be the appearance of first-line stars, do not kill into your home first, rob everything in your family, grab money and food and rob the girls, so what are you waiting for?

It can be said that the European royal families have been playing the game of rotation with each other, Peter III was originally the heir to the throne of the King of Sweden, but he was pulled away by his aunt to become the Russian Tsar.

Of course, it is difficult to measure whether this is advanced or backward, but for both sides, Xu Hao has the upper hand.

The ball still started, although there was no electric light, but the countless candles burning were naturally very bright, Xu Hao changed into a tunic and looked energetic, no matter what, in terms of living habits, in fact, the elders were infinitely close to these Europeans, at least similar to these European nobles.

Under the gaze of countless people, he stood in the position of guest of honor, watching an old man say a few words there, to the effect that the visit of a guest from afar was definitely a good omen, and he wanted to warmly welcome Yunyun.

Xu Hao's character is to pretend that he doesn't know English, so people naturally won't waste time here, and soon after the conversation ended, naturally there were musicians playing music, and many young people began to dance, of course, Xu Hao was also guided to meet with the dignitaries in the city one by one, it can be said that the welcome was quite grand, Cromwell gave enough face, whether it was the government, the army or the leaders of the academic circles came out to greet him, a former waiter, so that Xu Hao was greatly satisfied, of course, his beautiful words are also constant, Anyway, it doesn't help.

The prom is a place to socialize with each other, and when you talk about things normally, it's all in the back.

Eliza also changed into her dress, of course, compared with the eldest ladies in the city of London, it is very inconspicuous, at least the eldest ladies who constantly greet him are not comparable, but the victory is that she has been on the Liaoning for many days, and her Chinese is already good.

"Xu, why don't you try dancing, I haven't been back to Europe for a few years, and I don't know any of the popular repertoire now."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "If you like it, go jump, I can't jump." ”

If Xu Hao was the son of a communicative occasion, he would not have fallen into being a waiter.

But Eliza kept pulling him, but he insisted, he sighed, it was worth following the crowd and dancing like that, fortunately it was not a carnival today, the tune was not too crazy and too fast, Eliza guided him slowly, but there was no embarrassment such as stepping on his feet.

As today's guest of honor, Xu Hao is naturally the center of attention, his dance steps are naturally seen by many people, sensible people naturally can't speak, and it's normal for people who understand to know that foreigners can't dance your country's dance.

"Look at the Portuguese woman, what kind of dance steps they are, it's really rough enough."

"I heard that I followed my family to the Far Eastern colonies, and on the way back, I accosted this foreigner, and when I looked at his ship, I knew that he was worth a lot of money."

"A foreigner."

"A very wealthy foreigner, Christina, my uncle said, and he and the other companions discussed that it would not be too much to sell a million pounds for such a huge ship to sail so smoothly from the Far East."
