Chapter 92: Comfortable
Chen Mu knew that Sean's crossing of the ocean was driven by a sense of crisis in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be a sense of crisis about the political system.
But it has to be said that Sean is thinking in the right direction, and in a long time there will be a bourgeois revolution in Europa.
In terms of political system, Chen Mu believes that he still has a lot of power, and he feels that he may see the suffering side of Ireland and England in his lifetime.
For his country has tried almost all forms of government of mankind.
The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty rebelled, and the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao ruled together, and implemented a short-lived republic.
the aristocracy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the great unified monarchy after the beginning of the Qin Dynasty; At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the New Deal tried to establish a constitutional monarchy, but the constitution turned out to be more chaotic; When Yuan Shikai was in power, he first had a parliamentary cabinet system, and then a presidential system.
Later, the military parliamentary cabinet, Chiang Chung-cheng's separation of powers and the presidential system.
The methods are all good methods, the systems are all good systems, and if the timing is not right and the soil is different, it will naturally not bear good results.
Just as Sean, Earl of Ireland, wanted to follow the example of the Ming Kingdom and annex Ireland to the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the Western political system was not good for the East, and the whole of the East was moved to the West, and Chen Mu didn't think it was a foolproof solution.
But he doesn't care, other people's countries, what's the harm of tossing and tossing?
It's great, let's find a way if you can't toss.
"Mr. Xu, I heard Sean say that the price of woolen textiles in England has tripled in the past hundred years, the Reformation has allowed England to reclaim religious land, the country has one-sixth more arable land, the nobles and farmers have negotiated to raise sheep on the land, and Queen Elizabeth has successively promulgated the apprenticeship law and the craftsman law to enhance industry."
Chen Mu was lying on his back in a rocking chair, holding a small porcelain bottle made by Tianjin Porcelain Factory, which was filled with wolfberry green tea, like an old man swaying leisurely.
He said to Xu Wei, who was buried in the book's case in the hall: "I heard that they decree that apprentices must work for seven years before they can go out to work, what do you think? ”
Xu Wei had a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the frame was a skeleton specially made of brass in the iron factory, and he raised his eyes and said for a moment: "This is very good, more training time can make craftsmen strive for excellence, since the decree was promulgated for seven years, there will be a group of excellent craftsmen in England, why, Dashuai also has to implement this decree in Beiyang?" ”
Chen Mu put down the porcelain vase, remembered that he couldn't get up in the rocking chair, and struggled twice before getting up and said, "No, I think it's very bad." ”
"Quantitative change can cause qualitative change, more excellent craftsmen, these people know technology, even if they learn knowledge in later social work, they can produce spontaneous improvement; And good technology allows them to build better ships and better firearms. ”
"With such a vast territory and so many people in the Ming Dynasty, winning a naval battle to gain an advantage in the South Seas will change the world so much, not to mention a small country, they can be reborn as long as they win another big war."
"It's scary!"
"Hiss......"
Xu Wei gasped, as if he was touched by Chen Mu's words, slowly took off his glasses and put them on the desk, the two wide sleeves of the plain robe were put together, he looked at Chen Mu with his hands, and muttered: "No, Dashuai, the old man thinks that there is no problem in England, but Dashuai's opinion is problematic." ”
"Huh? My opinion. ”
Chen Mu looked around and frowned, "What's wrong with my opinion?" ”
Xu Wei sighed, the crazy old man has also used a series of skin care products from Chen Mu recently, his dry skin is very ruddy, and he looks like a fifty-six-year-old young man.
He cleared his throat and said: "You are the marshal of the Celestial Empire, and you are also the important minister of the Beiyang and the Minister of the Oriental. ”
Xu Wei rolled up his sleeves and probed his hand and said, "Can you not use the tone of a poor man in the village who looks at someone else's family and begs a little daughter-in-law, it's really ...... Ah. ”
Chen Mu was speechless by Xu Wei, it was the British, and the sun never set empire that later ruled the world, the foundation was laid at this time, he was anxious, so he naturally had this tone, picked up the porcelain bottle and drank tea, got up to look for honey, and then said: "You Mr. Xu, don't care about my tone, I am a poor man at the head of the village, I just can't see others marrying a little daughter-in-law, what should I do, you are the master of Shaoxing, take a way." ”
Xu Wei listened to Hehe Zhile, which made Chen Mu muttered in his heart that he didn't know what the old madman was going to do, and then he saw Xu Wei with a normal expression and said: "If the handsome man is a poor man at the head of the village, I'm afraid there is no way to do this, but you are obviously not, the people who robbed the relatives have been found, what kind of poor man are you still pretending?" ”
"Xiyi has new and old grudges with England, and the relationship with me is not bad at the moment, the red-haired earl of Aiyi has his own ambition to establish a country, and the heart of respecting the Celestial Empire is also very sincere, since the marshal has given a promise, Yingyi will not sit idly by then."
"If everything is foreseen, it will be wasted, the three islands are narrow, and if the Aiyi rebels, there are only two islands left, the coast is very long, the location is superior and the trade is prosperous, as long as the commander is willing to pay the price, any reform can be abandoned halfway." Xu Wei laughed as he spoke, "I hope Your Excellency has a correct attitude, Jing Haibo is a bully with a name and surname overseas, don't think about being a poor man in the village, Daming doesn't have that life!" ”
"No, no, things are not as easy as Mr. Xu thinks, Aiyi is okay, at least now Sean is willing to be the Great Ming Domain, but when he takes charge of the country, he may not be willing."
"The biggest problem now is here, Chen has the heart to be a bully, but he doesn't want to pay the price." Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "Let me die too many troops for that land, I don't want to." ”
"If you have the intention to pull Spain back, they will send troops nearby, but if I remember correctly, Philip also has the title of King of England on his head, it is easy to defeat Yingyi, and if you turn back, you will continue to fight with Xiyi, which is very difficult, compared to us, Xiyi is nearby, and a large number of troops can be organized to transport to England."
Chen Mu shook his head and said: "What's more, even if Xiyi doesn't send troops, the local people will rebel against Sean at that time, and the endless rebellion is not enough to win them over." ”
"Fighting is one thing, although no one is afraid of fighting, but a large number of elite troops are consumed there, which is not a long-term solution, and we have to find a way from other places, at least to smash the jobs of craftsmen and merchants in the country." Chen Mu raised his hand and tapped a few times on the porcelain vase, and said: "The north has to prepare a large number of woolen textiles for me, which is a large amount, so big that their woolen merchants have completely lost confidence in the industry, and it is big enough to level prices." ”
"In addition to these things, there must be someone in charge of this affairs, let Chang Ji write a letter on my behalf, transfer Huang Cheng of Haojing, and wait for the pilot ship returning from Spain to return and set off with the army."
"Make them comfortable!"
