1719 The era of killing the king
Xiao Letian summoned the old shopkeeper and Liu Juehe to come to the barbarian market. Two of the three important tasks have been stated. The first one is easy for everyone to understand. Through Liu Juehe's hands, a batch of stocks developed around the Far East were issued on the Jiangnan stock market. I believe that many merchants who have obtained the franchise will not miss such a good opportunity to make money.
Moreover, this kind of stock is a favorite for long-term holding funds, because those patient investors know how powerful the monopoly is. As long as they survive the initial infrastructure investment period, the subsequent one will make a stable profit without losing money.
The first task is very simple and does not require too much worry, while the second task is to reform the industry under Xiao Letian's name.
No one knew that Xiao Letian had already discussed this matter with his father-in-law last year. Fan Jian was very opposed at that time because the power he gained in the old man's mind was not lost?
But when he heard Xiao Letian's explanation of the future world, the old man was silent.
"What kind of world will the future be like? I can reveal a true story to Lao Taishan. It will be an era of 'killing kings', an era of falling feudal dynasties, and an era of bloody soaring into the sky..."
"The development of science and technology will make human destructive power more and more powerful, and the intensity of war will become stronger and stronger, and in the end, a world war that swept the world will break out... This is unimaginable in the eyes of your old man!"
"It will be a more tragic war than any change of dynasty. In the war, many countries will completely die out, and many dynasties will completely die out..."
"Kill the King! This is a label I put on this era!"
Xiao Letian knew very well that the earth was getting smaller and smaller, and the era of great flow of human beings and great collision of ideas was about to come. The development of civil rights ideas was naturally in opposition to feudal imperial power and royal power.
These are all undercurrents in human society. Now the kings around the world can still rule their kingdoms under the wings and boundaries of habitual power, but this is the last flash in the pan. Just like the candle will always suddenly become brighter before it is about to be extinguished, it is a completely rebirth.
The French-Prussian War destroyed the French royal family, and there was no restoration after Napoleon III stepped down.
The First World War caused both Prussia and Austro-Hungarian emperors to step down, and of course, the most tragic last emperor of Tsarist Russia, and the whole family was slaughtered.
This is true in Europe, and Asia is not much better. The Qing Dynasty's life span will be over for more than 40 years. The Korean royal family was destroyed in the hands of the Japanese, and the Mongolian princes gradually disappeared. Many kingdoms in Vietnam and Southeast Asia also entered the graves under the impact of the tide of the times.
In Xiao Lotte's previous life, there were only a handful of countries in the world that still retained monarchy. The most successful ones were of course the British royal family, as well as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries in Central Europe, and Japan and Thailand were the only ones left in Asia.
And without exception, all of these countries are constitutional monarchy, and the royal power has been severely compressed.
No one can confront the times. Xiao Letian will definitely not be that fool. He is very clear about the ideas of the people around him. It is the dream of all the dragons who follow him, and at the very least, he must become a real-powerful king of the Chinese clan.
But Xiao Letian would never be fooled. He would not put himself, especially his descendants, on this fire, and roast this kind of wealthy life is very dangerous. For decades of enjoyment, all the kings of real power will become the target of public criticism.
"Old Mount Tai! Even if the Chinese people are always smooth sailing to the outside world, they will gradually grow older as time goes by. Generations of people change. How can you guarantee that the next generation of children will worship me? Do you worship this imperial power?"
"Those babies born in a happy and peaceful era cannot experience the taste of war and hunger. Without comparison, they cannot taste how sweet life is. Instead, they will pursue what they do not have..."
"The gap between the rich and the poor will always become bigger and bigger. This is a cancer that no one can solve. No need to wait a hundred years. Even in fifty or sixty years, the gap between the rich and the poor within the Chinese will be so big that you can't even imagine it!"
"There are frozen bones on the road of the stinky wine and meat. Do you really think it won't appear again? You have to admit that I, Xiao Letian, have a day when I grow old, and have a day when I can't control everything..."
"If that day really comes, when the gap between the rich and the poor accumulates a huge power of hatred for the rich, then the person who holds real power will be destined to become the lamb on the fire. At that time, I guess it must be your grandson being put on it?"
"My old Taishan, do you really hope that your grandson will be yelled by millions of people in the future and scolded them angrily? Do you really hope that your grandson will suppress the civilians' shouts when he has no choice but to do anything?"
"If my descendants of Xiao Letian began to suppress the civilians and their hands were covered with the blood of the people, then what is the point of everything we are working hard today?"
Fan Jian closed his eyes in pain, and tears of heartache flowed down his tears, "No... impossible! Absolutely impossible..."
"Possible! And very likely!" Xiao Letian said firmly, "You are just unable to get through emotionally!"
"But... but we can't give the country that we have built up with hard work to others for free!" The old shopkeeper was still the same as the feudal dynasty. Whose country belongs to whom? Why should he sacrifice blood for so many years be used to outsiders?
You should know that once a person gets old, he will be married to each other. The old shopkeeper is not worried about what Xiao Letian will be like now. He is worried that his grandson will be wronged in the future. If anyone dares to steal the interests of his grandson, the old man can sacrifice his life with him.
The elderly in China are actually very pitiful. They can give up all their interests, sacrifice for their parents, and risk their brothers. They also have to feed their elder brothers the exam. People like Fan Jian are so bitter about themselves.
But there is one thing that cannot be forgotten. It doesn’t matter how much hardship Fan Jian endured himself, and he can even tolerate his wife and children’s grievances. However, such people will definitely not tolerate the loss of the next generation. Whoever bullies his grandchildren will take his life.
So no matter how right Xiao Letian said, it violates the interests of his unborn grandson, that is not possible.
Xiao Letian had obviously understood the old shopkeeper's temper. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, I love my son too! That's why I want you to be responsible for this Hidden Dragon Plan!"
"The Hidden Dragon Plan?" Fan Jian was stunned.
"Yes, Hidden Dragon Plan! A huge plan that you can't imagine..."
Note: The recent plot is very important, and I have basically explained the origin of the title of this book, which is worth reading several times.
