Zai Chun was taught a lesson. Xiao Letian's mood improved a lot. In fact, he originally didn't want to be the little emperor's adolescent physical health teacher. No one taught Xiao Letian in his previous compulsory education system. This kind of love and affection has been out of the question since ancient times.
But it’s not enough if you don’t teach. The imperial education before Zaichun was a pure failure. It would be okay if he was reincarnated during the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong. Royal education can definitely cultivate a qualified nobleman. But this is the middle of the nineteenth century. Human society is about to enter a great revolutionary movement to overthrow the emperor.
If Zaichun can't keep up with the times. The end may not be better than that of Puyi. Because the situation in Asia has now undergone tremendous changes.
Human society entered from the 19th century to the 20th century. Imperial power and the privileges of the nobility gradually faded away. More often than not, emperors and nobles are just symbols of a country's image. This is a general trend in human society.
At this point, some European royal families represented by Britain have done very well. They were the first to recognize this trend and then adjusted accordingly.
They began to delegate the power of governance to the prime minister and parliament. It has become the spiritual symbol of a country. In the end, even how to participate in World War II. How to Fight Hitler's Power. It was also swaying in the minds of two prime ministers, Chamberlain and Churchill.
In the new century. Imperial power has gradually become a theater. The emperor and nobles have become actors in the show. Any royal family that lasts for a long time and is supported by the people. Both are the most outstanding performing artists.
There was a movie in a previous life called "The King's Speech", which showed a true portrayal of the British royal family during World War II. The world war is coming. As a royal, it is enough for you to make a good speech. As for how to fight and formulate strategies and tactics. Leave it to other professionals.
The year is now 1867. The Franco-Prussian War was only three years away. It was only 47 years before the First World War. We are only 72 years away from World War II.
For the long history of mankind. Seventy or eighty years is just a blink of an eye. Even a hundred years pass by like a fleeting moment. Xiao Le is a genius and not stupid. In this day and age, I still want to be an emperor. Just dream.
Even if Xiao Letian has the idea and strength to become an emperor. But it would take ten years to unify the Central Plains. If we want to pacify the border areas and deal with the interference of Western powers, it will take another twenty years of hard work.
Thirty years have passed. God knows how many days Xiao Letian can live like an emperor. Who knows how many assassins in the world are secretly watching him.
What's even worse is. He can defeat enemy armies on the battlefield. But he couldn't mentally clear away China's thousands of years of traditional thinking. I want those Confucian scholars to accept new ideas and give up the hatred of war. That's simply impossible.
The only way is to spend time. Passed down from generation to generation. Let new life accept new ideas. Let the old traditions gradually go to the grave. Such a lofty ideal is simply not enough without the efforts of three generations. Can Xiao Letian ensure that his grandson and great-grandson can also effectively control this empire?
The answers are all no. So Xiao Letian couldn't climb to the top. That shouldn't even be a thought.
Looking at the exquisite sushi on the low tatami table. Xiao Letian fell into deep thought. The famous sushi chef outside the sliding door knelt on the ground. I was so scared that I was sweating profusely. He kept thinking if there was something wrong with the sushi. Why is the Prime Minister so unhappy?
The most tender Yoshihama abalone is slightly tumbled in boiling water to remove a hint of wild flavor, then sliced and placed on top of the sushi. The family’s secret sauce has been checked three times. There is definitely no problem.
Ise lobster slices are placed on top of the sushi. The bright red and white colors prove that they are the freshest. The tuna has become mellow and delicious after being marinated. I've tasted it myself in advance and I'm sure it's the best. Only then was it given to the Prime Minister.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the wine? its not right. That's the best Kiku Masamune. Although it is known as the wine of men, it cannot compare with the fine wine. But it is already the top quality in Japan.
Now Xiao Letian has become synonymous with the god of death in the hearts of Japanese people. Even the shogun bowed before him. This shows the importance of this person's authority. Xiao Letian invited the emperor to Osaka Castle for banquets three times. The emperor actually used the excuse of being unwell. Don't dare to come. It can be seen that the whole of Japan is afraid of Prime Minister Xiao in the East China Sea.
The guards around him saw the fear in the celebrity chef's heart. He didn't know until he looked at Xiao Letian's expression again. The Prime Minister was actually in a daze rather than angry.
"You should step back first. The Prime Minister is thinking about the problem. He will summon you later."
"Well. Who is talking... Oh. Sorry. I was thinking about something just now. I forgot about you. Don't mind." Listening to the Prime Minister's words. How dare a famous chef say "no"? He quickly prostrated himself on the tatami and said he didn't dare.
Xiao Letian looked at him. "The sushi is very delicious. I like it very much... tell me what your name is."
"My dear, Torajiro... Kyoto Toraya is my sushi restaurant..."
Pfft... Xiao Letian spit out the sake with a sip of wine, "Nani. Prostitute. You run a brothel. It's really surprising. Mr. Turtle actually has such good sushi skills."
The guards around him also laughed. Torajiro didn't know what happened. The soldier next to him just laughed and didn't translate for him. He doesn't understand Chinese.
The soldier who was proficient in Japanese smiled and said, "Sir, his name is Torajiro. His store is called Torajiro's House. Yin is the Yin of Tang Yin. Japanese shops are all written with abbreviations. So it is called Toraya... but you don't think so. That way."
Xiao Letian also smiled, "It seems that I have thought too much. Not giving this name will easily lead to ambiguity among the Han people. Let me give you a name. Change Yin to Yin. As for you, I will give you a surname. Just My surname is Jin..."
"The Silver House. If you add the surname, it would be called the Gold and Silver House. Haha, it's very festive."
Torajiro looked at the prime minister and the translator in confusion. Finally he learned he had a last name. At that time, his eyes darkened and he fainted. The soldiers next to him quickly pinched him and woke him up.
Wow. Torajiro suddenly burst into tears. My nose was dripping with snot. He kowtowed desperately to the Prime Minister, "Thank you. Thank you, Prime Minister, for your grace... Please give me another handwritten letter. Otherwise, the officials in Kyoto will not recognize it... Please, Prime Minister."
Xiao Letian asked the guards around him to write a random certification document. I just simply recorded the process of giving a surname today. Finally, the jade seal of the Prime Minister of Ryukyu is used. This is a legal document recognized by all countries.
What. You say Japan dares not to recognize the Prime Minister's order. Then beat him until his mother doesn't even recognize him.
Torajiro retreated. The story of him being given a surname by the prime minister soon became a legend in Japan. In order to thank the Prime Minister, he opened a gold and silver house branch in Ryukyu the next year. The purpose is to let the prime minister eat the best sushi.
But the prime minister often travels all over the world. Then Torajiro will chase after him. There are branches in Tanggu, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangnan... In the end, Jinyinwu became a very famous multinational catering group.
With the Prime Minister's fame and the support of Lotte Bank. Gold and Silver House eventually became the world's top food empire. And the loyalty of the Jin family to the Xiao family. Just like the spirit of Bushido. It lasted for hundreds of years from beginning to end.
Xiao Letian shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. I thought to myself, wasn’t I thinking about Zai Chun’s education? Why are you thinking so wildly about becoming an emperor?
Xiao Letian Xiao Letian. Have you forgotten your ideals when you traveled through time? Let China complete great changes with the least amount of blood. Carry out preliminary industrialization in the fastest possible time.
What a change of dynasty. Political reform and the like. Let's wait until China has the protection of a military that can win foreign wars before considering it. This is an era of wolves. There can be quarrels over how property is distributed within the flock. The most important thing now is to block the wolves outside the sheepfold.
As long as foreign enemies cannot invade. The territory remains intact. As for how to divide the property of the internal flocks. In the end, the meat just rotted in the pot. If you cannot protect the sheepfold, let a pack of wolves in. At that time, it will be useless for you to carry out 10,000 reforms.
"Fuck. All the money was robbed by wolves. Is it fair and reasonable to leave a group of sheep gathered around a few straws and arguing about how to distribute them? Damn it. No matter how fair and reasonable the distribution method is, it's just sharing those straws... …”
The guard beside him said in confusion, "Prime Minister. Prime Minister, what are you talking about? What about wolves, sheep, and straw. What do you want?"
Xiao Letian smiled and realized that he had started to make the same old habits again. Talking nonsense to oneself. Fortunately, I am surrounded by brothers I can trust. If there are a few people with ulterior motives. His secret was probably leaked a long time ago.
At this time, there was suddenly a burst of footsteps outside the door. The voice was very familiar and it belonged to Mr. Long. Most people don't have such a steady hand.
Go inside. Mr. Long poured himself a glass and then raised his head and took a big sip. "Ah... It's really enjoyable. I obey your orders. I went to sit in on Ito Hirobumi's meeting with those big shots. I really lived up to your expectations. That guy really has a good mouth." . After a while, all the Japanese people mentioned were on their knees..."
"My Japanese is not very good. Fortunately, I dragged Suzuki Tai with me. Let him repeat it to you, sir... Also, sir, do you know that the lord who overthrew the four feudal lords has come secretly. He is now hiding in the Southwest Alliance Army. In the camp. Just arrived this afternoon."
"Oh. This time there is a gathering of heroes... The Lord of Tosa Domain, Nabeshima Naotai. The Satsuma Domain's Shimazu Tadayoshi. And the Choshu Domain's Gentoku Mori... If we add Emperor Meiji to this. The reformers have all gathered."
"Let Suzuki Tai come in. Let me hear what these people have to say."
