Thinking of this story, Xiao Letian smiled bitterly and shook his head, lamenting in his heart, "Of course I am not a phoenix, and those who hold traditional ideas are not owls, but there is indeed a huge gap between our thoughts, just like the phoenix and the owl."
From the moment Xiao Letian wrote The Journey to the West, he has already begun to point out the future development direction of the human world for the Chinese nation.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the earth will become smaller and smaller. In the end, the earth will be as small as a village. When aerospace technology matures, traveling across the hemisphere will only take a dozen hours.
The steam engine is definitely not the ultimate in human power. The flames of coal will eventually be replaced by the flames of oil burning. The internal combustion engine is the king of the future world.
In the face of the mighty trend, everything that traditional Chinese scholars believe in will be smashed and ground into powder. In the new century when human civilization begins to release its most brilliant glory, the old and conservative ideas that China clings to are more than just dead mice. But a rotting dead rat
The development of science and technology has made the geopolitics of the past a joke. Mountains, deserts, and oceans cannot stop the torrent of steel from crushing China. The inertial thinking developed over thousands of years will completely collapse.
Isn't it like this now? When an invincible and powerful enemy attacks from the sea, aren't the politicians and military strategists who have only studied the mainland all their lives dumbfounded?
If one day, when planes roar in the sky and drop tons of explosives on people's heads, when the tracks crush all obstacles and rush into every flourishing city, and when deserts and plateaus cannot withstand the enemy's attack, will the Chinese nation still use Is it worth tens of millions of lives in exchange for peace?
Therefore, Xiao Letian must fulfill the responsibility of a time traveler. He must point out the right path for smart people when the situation is not so pessimistic.
Xiao Letian smiled. He was the only one who smiled today since time travel. He was the happiest because Zai Chun next to him actually felt a holy smell.
"I'm such a fool. I really think of myself as a saint. Why do I expect to save everyone? What if the other party refuses your rescue? What if they feel that what they insist on is completely correct?"
"From now on, I will never think about such naive questions again. My only purpose in this world is to point out a road for more Chinese people who want to change. I am the lighthouse on the seashore. I am the vast sea." I am the navigator who will show you the way.”
"Whether you like me or not, Xiao Letian is there and willing to go all the way with me. I welcome anyone who doesn't want to follow my direction and I won't force it."
"As for those who deliberately stand in front of me and block my way, I don't mind crushing them completely and spitting on them."
"Hahaha, yes, the choice of life, death and wealth is in everyone's hands. I, Xiao Letian, will never try to change the hearts of those who refuse to change. From now on, I will first become a self-interested person and then consider interests." other people"
"That beautiful new world can only be shared by those who are destined to share it. As for those who have been eliminated by the wheel of history, even if they cry to death in front of me in the future, I will not soften my heart at all."
The last breath of depression in Xiao Letian's heart was resolved. The setting sun shone on his body, and a faint layer of golden light enveloped him. Zai Chun rubbed his eyes fiercely. At that moment, he clearly felt the change in the master's temperament.
In the past, Xiao Letian was shrewd, courageous, and heroic, like a sharp unsheathed sword. But now, Xiao Letian is deep, restrained, body like a rock, and the clouds are light and windy, as if there is a fairy spirit lingering from the dust.
Xiang Yuxin said these words sincerely. Don’t deceive me. After Xiao Letian swept away all the obstacles in his heart and eradicated all the demons in his heart, he didn’t dare to say that he has become a sage. At least he dared to say that he was a semi-saint.
Under Xiao Letian's gaze, Chun lowered his head involuntarily, but Xiao Letian pulled him up: "You want to help the court solve the current financial crisis. This is a good thing. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and you have power on your shoulders." The other side is obligation.”
"Do you want to take charge of the government? If you want, you can take charge of the government now, and the whole court will not resist the decision you make, just like the time I took you out of Beijing."
"You are the emperor, of course you must have the authority of the emperor. Remember that power is gained by fighting for it, not by relying on your status."
On that day, Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty issued the second imperial edict of his life in the Osaka Castle Tower, "Details of the Tax Law Reform in the Twenty Years of the Qing Dynasty"
Aixinjueluo Zaichun was born in March 1856. In 1861, he inherited Dabao and became the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was only 6 years old. At the beginning of 1867, just before the Lunar New Year, Aixinjueluo Zaichun, who was only 12 years old, issued an order. Following the first imperial edict in his life, he left the capital to study abroad.
Just over seven months later, in Osaka Castle, Japan, he signed the second imperial edict in his life to reform the Qing tax law.
This is simply a miracle. A 12-year-old child issued two imperial edicts in one year. The first one was forcibly passed under Xiao Letian's military power. But will anyone listen to this second edict?
Zai Chun was unsure, but Xiao Letian was very confident because what he gave Da Qing was a gift package that he simply could not refuse.
Just as Emperor Tongzhi's imperial decree followed the telegraph line to Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty, the shogun and the daimyo finally reached an agreement on the distribution of shares in Fuso Bank and signed an armistice agreement in Dotonbori, Osaka that night.
That night Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi attended the peace banquet. Fuso Bank, which received the first batch of capital injections at the banquet, provided Japan with 10 million yuan in reconstruction funds. The focus of this special fund investment was Japan's fragile agriculture and infrastructure.
Not only that, Xiao Letian also hopes that Japan can form a parliament and replace bloody wars with meetings and debates. Each daimyo occupies different seats according to their strength. When a dispute occurs, voting can be carried out according to the number of seats.
Xiao Letian knew that it would take a process for Japanese people who like to speak with knives to choose to use debate to solve problems, but as long as they take the first step in everything, it will be a success.
There will always be people who are unwilling to accept this kind of voting decision, and there will always be some stupid people who choose to continue to use violence to speak. However, Japan's current national conditions are completely different from those in previous lives.
Xiao Letian's military power became the last line of insurance. He promised at the banquet that whoever dares to betray the parliament's decision and continue to use violence to solve the problem will be punished by Ryukyu's new army.
Xiao Letian's proposal was unanimously supported by the general and all the big names present. Of course, they did not dare not support the combat effectiveness of the army at the prime minister's disposal. They had experienced it and now no one would try to twist the prime minister's tiger beard.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tongzhi suddenly spoke. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty actually gave a big gift to everyone present. This gift made everyone stunned.
Note: Today’s second update is not ideal for sending yesterday’s subscription, so I can only update twice.
While everyone is waiting for the update, you can go to the 'Chinese website' to search for the old book "Interstellar Hunter Country" written by Xinjing before and take a look. The two-million-word novel is so exciting that it is not to be missed.
