Xu Mochen and his party stayed in the new Buddhist cultivation world for a while.
In fact, it's not a big deal. Nowadays, it is the wonderful truth that dominates the Buddhist world. The relationship between the two people means that it is impossible for the Buddhist world to target the mortal world in the future. ..
Besides, the entire realm was reborn from the ashes and had no external power.
However, everything was ugly at first, and the two sides still signed some agreements peacefully.
The agreements in the worlds of the ten directions correspond to the way of heaven, so they are much more serious than the oaths in the mortal world.
Then Xu Mochen took Tang Derun and others to the underworld.
The underworld, which is actually the Netherworld, also faces the problem of changing its course.
Therefore, Xu Mochen achieved his goal relatively easily.
For the underworld, now that the mortal world is prospering, they are also good.
It is not only the acquisition of incense and belief, but also the refining of food into gas.
If there are more mortals, there will naturally be more souls after death. Those are resources.
It is equivalent to saying that the status of the underworld has been one-sidedly improved.
So-so, it's a happy outcome for everyone.
As for what Heaven thinks, what other realms do, or what Tu Dao Xiaoyao Xian's opponents think, Xu Mochen can't control it for the time being.
In addition, the four major ferries connecting the underworld to the mortal world were also opened.
From now on, the exchanges between mortal cultivators should become more frequent.
Then there was the matter of dealing with souls. Xu Mochen suggested setting up a separate department based on the concept of human domination.
This department is directly subordinate to the highest level of the underworld to avoid corruption or accidents to the greatest extent.
The other realms have supervision rights but no actual interference rights.
This makes the execution more vertical and facilitates one-stop management of the underworld.
Of course, if it runs for a long time, whether there will be any problems is not something Xu Mochen has to consider.
After all, each realm has different focus points.
After handling all this, Xu Mochen returned to the mortal world with everyone.
The last place I entered and exited was Danzhou in the south, and it was the same this time.
However, Xu Mochen and others returned to the port near Danzhou in the south and immediately discovered a big difference.
First there are ships.
Danzhou in the south connects the eastern and western seas and is an important stopping point.
Therefore, ships from foreign countries in the West will stop here for supplies.
Including trade, etc., points that cannot be avoided.
The last time he came here, Xu Mochen was riding a wooden ship made by Daqian.
As for the foreign countries in the West, most of them are three-masted sailing ships.
Nowadays, Daqian already has a modern fleet. In addition to wooden hulls, steel is also added to the hulls.
This time he went back and forth to the underworld, and several years passed in the mortal world.
Looking back now, what Xu Mochen saw were steel ships one after another.
Naturally, it is still much worse than modern ships.
But it has already achieved a leap in industrialization.
Not only the ships of Daqian, but also the ships of foreign countries in the West, the level has also been greatly improved.
Xu Mochen does not follow a closed-door policy. He also has exchanges with the West on some science and technology.
There was no other way. The noble concubine in his harem, Qianling Boleklia, was originally the leader of the Western Natural Sect.
He doesn't object to big guys exchanging technologies with each other.
After all, from the perspective of technology base, the overall technology tree of Western exotic countries is more complete than that of Daqian.
Xu Mochen is ahead only in certain aspects.
So when ultra-cutting-edge and basic technologies collide, dazzling sparks quickly emerge.
This has led to huge advancements in technology throughout the mortal world.
Of course, these are what Xu Mochen is happy to see.
Besides the buildings, he saw the south
Many places in Danzhou are undergoing demolition.
When Xu Mochen was at Blue Star, he experienced the era of demolition.
In the early years of demolition, there was still a lot of resistance.
However, with the continuous increase in the number of second-generation demolitions and the development of the overall economy, people later became more and more interested in demolition.
If you do it on a large scale, the process will be similar.
After all, for ordinary people, the overall progress of society and economic development do not actually make much difference.
Especially now, when Shifang World no longer intervenes, the human race is basically achieving normal and healthy development.
Demolition is accompanied by large-scale construction.
The old houses were demolished and new brick-concrete houses were built, which were dozens of times higher quality than the previous thatched houses.
The people in the city are naturally happy.
Of course, this is not something that can be fully promoted in one fell swoop.
After all, in this era, there are still many wealthy families who live in large yards.
These wealthy families are not very willing to demolish their homes.
Therefore, what Da Gan promoted was the reform of the middle and lower classes.
What used to be single-family buildings are now small residential buildings, with each family having one floor.
Of course, if the population is large, then there will be redistribution.
If you want to live in a house like this, you have to either pay for it or put in the effort.
In other words, if you don’t have money, you can exchange labor for income and pay it in installments.
This is already a very modern model of home buying.
Being able to achieve this step is inseparable from the overall economic development of Daqian.
The main body of society is mainly farming, and now it is gradually transforming into diversification, and industry, commerce, manufacturing, etc. are beginning to rise.
The emergence of workers and professional workers has made the social class structure more diverse.
As a result, most people live together in cities, forming densely populated areas.
Some residential buildings are even factory dormitories.
As long as you work in the factory for a long time, the dormitory can be allocated and turned into private property.
In short, the overall development is relatively stable.
Then there is transportation. The most obvious change is that the wheels that used to be now become rubber.
On the road, there are already bicycles coming and going.
Then there are the clothes. The clothes that were made in the past are quite modern.
But nowadays, many people are wearing Western-like clothing.
This type of group is mainly the working class in Daqian.
They need to work, and what matters is efficiency and convenience. If they are in ancient costume, it is somewhat inconvenient.
Clothing changes, hairstyles and so on.
Xu Mochen couldn't help but ask Shen Zhining: "Did Ai Fei keep all the information about Blue Star's Du Niang?"
Shen Zhining shook her head: "There are so many, I just kept some.
It should be mainly promoted by the imperial concubine, who came to the same goal through different paths and embarked on a westernized style. "
Of course Xu Mochen would not be so stupid as to fight out all these foreign countries in the west.
On the contrary, this kind of street scene in the early Republic of China really touched him.
The progress of the times will always be beneficial to the human race.
They just took a general look around the city and did not alert the local officials.
Afterwards, he took the boat arranged earlier and returned to the capital.
As for the capital city, its prosperity naturally far exceeds that of Danzhou in the south.
Although he was mentally prepared, Xu Mochen was still startled.
There are even cars on the road.
When the emperor comes back, the palace will naturally be busy.
However, there was something that made Xu Mochen not in a good mood, because he saw some people gathered.
That's right, it's the kind where a person stands on a high platform and talks, and a bunch of people below crane their necks to listen.
After all, Tang Derun understood the emperor's thoughts. Seeing his strange expression, he waved his hand and said,
The order was passed on.
Nowadays, the country's military power is still in the hands of the emperor. The five-city military commanders, embroidery envoys, etc. in the capital received the order and quickly brought intelligence.
"It's nothing to say it's a spontaneous workers' movement. It just hopes to reach some degree of agreement with factories and others." Tang Derun reported carefully.
Shen Zhining from behind laughed.
Others don't understand, so why doesn't she understand?
"Do you have anything to say against the royal family?" Xu Mochen immediately became depressed.
"This..." Tang Derun read the news carefully, "Replying to Your Majesty, there is none.
Your Majesty is wise, mighty and talented, who can say anything about your Majesty? "
Xu Mochen stopped talking after hearing this.
I don't know why the emperor was unhappy, so everyone remained silent after returning to the palace.
Since Xu Mochen's trip to Beijing was a concealed act, there was naturally no fanfare when he came back.
It has been almost five years since I left, and everything in the harem has changed.
He was greeted by Zhao Lingbo, Princess Yongan.
Looking at it this way, Zhao Lingbo is also in his twenties.
In the past, when a girl got her haircut, she would usually consider getting married.
Zhao Lingbo was just the right age when he first met Xu Mochen.
The emperor had a different relationship with her, so naturally no one dared to come to propose marriage or anything like that.
It's been almost ten years since I came and went.
It's just that the atmosphere in Daqian is changing rapidly nowadays, and medical and other technologies are developing rapidly. Although Zhao Lingbo is older and has elixirs and other protections, he is no different from before.
On the contrary, because of her long hair and the fact that she was acting as Xu Mochen to manage the state affairs, her appearance became more beautiful and heroic.
When we met, everyone inevitably exchanged pleasantries, mainly asking how Xu Mochen was doing.
Being able to come back means everything is fine.
After sitting down in the hall, Xu Mochen took a sip of tea before asking about the matter.
"I saw a lot of workers gathering in the capital. Do you have any other problems?" This was what he was concerned about.
"At the moment, they are just saying that they want to establish a trade union," Zhao Lingbo reported quickly, "I mean, this is equivalent to a non-governmental organization.
The matter was also discussed with the adults on the board of directors, and there were several arguments at the court meeting.
There are benefits to unions, such as increasing stickiness with the working class.
But there are also many disadvantages. After all, once such an organization is established, it will be very troublesome to control if there are many of them. "
Mu Nanyi, the general staff of the council, added: "So what Weichen and others mean is that the union can be established.
However, the president of the trade union needs to be named in the court.
In other words, under normal circumstances, they can handle a certain degree of problems internally.
But if it goes beyond this, the court will intervene. "
Xu Mochen smiled: "It's equivalent to saying that it is allowed to exist, but it needs to be controlled by the court."
Zhao Lingbo and Mu Nanyi nodded.
This is a good idea.
Referring to the great revolution era of Blue Star, when Western countries moved towards a republic or a democratic cabinet system, the emergence of the bourgeoisie such as labor unions was the beginning.
This was also one of the reasons why Xu Mochen was unhappy after seeing the scene in the capital.
If democracy were achieved, his power as emperor would be significantly diminished.
In the future, for example, if the human race is really on track, it would be fine if he goes to cultivate immortality or returns to Blue Star.
Now that the situation is unclear, he still hopes to be in control.
Zhao Lingbo and Mu Nanyi were in the middle and dealt with it more mildly.
It’s not completely capitalist, but it’s a bit like state-led capitalism.
In fact, this form is not only suitable for Blue Star's modern times, but also for modern times.
Daqian is a traditional country, and Shifang World had very strict control back then.
Xu Mochen does not believe that the introduction of completely free democracy
, suitable for Daqian’s future.
After all, although literacy is introduced and basic compulsory education is launched, it will take considerable time to improve the overall quality of the people.
Moreover, the national conditions of Daqian are also different.
"So do you think that the path we will take in the future, such as constitutional monarchy, is appropriate?" Xu Mochen asked directly.
"This..." Zhao Lingbo and others did not dare to take up this topic.
In an era when monarchy was supreme, if you said to the emperor, "Come on, set up a cabinet," wouldn't that be giving away people's lives?
Qian Ling on the side spoke, but she objected.
"I'm not optimistic about the constitutional monarchy," she expressed her opposition directly. "In the early years of foreign countries in the West, the king was the mainstay and the lords and nobles were the supplementary ones.
This form actually means that the lord has considerable military and political power in his own territory.
For them, imperial power is more of a flag faith.
Encouraging exploration and expansion is the core concept of their civilization.
But Daqian was different. The farming era was very long, and the concept of imperial power and the centralization of power were relatively inherent concepts among the people.
Throughout history, the dynasties before the Qian Dynasty all tended to split as long as local autonomy was too heavy.
So if we introduce a constitutional monarchy, separate the monarchy, and increase the authority of the cabinet, I worry that the country will be divided over time. "
This is very true.
Xu Mochen pondered: "What my concubine said makes sense."
Shen Zhining also smiled: "Actually, I think your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much now.
For one thing, the country is not divided and has no internal conflicts.
After all, the overall development of the country is still in a stage of rapid growth.
In addition, the army is also in the hands of the state.
There are also officials, whose control is very directional.
The consistency of centralization and the degree of support of the people, and their loyalty to the royal family are unquestionable.
Therefore, I thought it would be better for Your Majesty to start planting some ideas now. "
This is an analysis based on actual interests.
What the common people care about is their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that life is so good, who would go back and cause trouble?
New political thinking may have sprouted, but it has not yet grown into a towering tree.
"Ai Fei, you mean we import it directly?" Xu Mochen was a little confused.
"Of course," Shen Zhining suggested, "instead of letting the people think about the budding ideas of capital, it is better for the state to take the lead.
Your Majesty, you think, after all, our trajectories are different. "
Xu Mochen listened to this, and what Shen Zhining said made sense.
Yes, they master some modern thinking and theories, including ideas about social system structures such as capitalism.
But that is Blue Star’s journey and may not be in line with Daqian’s development!
