Want to create some chaos and fear in the Qing Dynasty? This is simply too easy, there are bandits, bandits, Hanako gangs, cults... There are also corrupt officials and local powerful people!
What's more important is that the people of this era are very superstitious, and there are countless secret activities of burning incense and opening altars. The huge gap between the rich and the poor and the sensitive emotions between the government and the people can easily turn into a group violent conflict.
The most obvious example is the Tianjin Mission Case in 1870, which was two years later. Xiao Letian didn’t know whether this conflict would happen in this parallel world, but he knew very well that even if the Tianjin Mission Case happened because of him as a time traveler, It has changed due to the impact of the conflict, but the seeds of contradiction are still there and the soil of conflict has not changed.
Maybe the Tianjin lesson plan will become the Beijing lesson plan, the Shanghai lesson plan... If Xiao Letian is willing, he can use the CIA's various methods to artificially create such a conflict.
When a conflict occurs, as long as you keep fanning the flames, that little bit of fire will soon turn into a prairie fire. It is not a problem for conflicts to turn into riots and spread across several counties.
A turmoil like this surgical operation will definitely force a certain amount of funds and talents to go to the Special Administrative Region. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the reputation of the SAR as a safe island is established, more and more capital and talents will come to the area if conflicts arise in the future.
Xiao Letian sighed with great sadness. Will he still have to use some bloody method in the end? Does it mean that a gentleman must bleed if he practices the right path? Doing good government will also lead to death!
In fact, Xiao Letian had seen too much of this kind of drama of artificially creating turmoil and then coercing capital transfer in his previous life. Since World War II, the United States has established the absolute hegemony of the U.S. dollar through the Bretton Woods system.
At that time, the gold dollar was the hard currency of all countries in the world, and global bulk trade had to be settled in dollars, eventually forming the absolute hegemony of the dollar.
This is not over yet. By the time of Nixon, the U.S. dollar actually got rid of the shackles of gold and became a piece of green paper that could be printed freely. At this time, the hyperinflation leading the world finally broke out.
This is the first time that mankind has printed banknotes without binding precious metals. National credit has become the only endorsement of currency. It is these two words that have allowed the United States to find an effective way to harvest global wealth.
Should Europe unite to create the euro? The United States began air strikes on Yugoslavia. Iraqi Saddam wants to give up dollars and use euros for oil settlements? Very good, then you have produced weapons of mass destruction, and you also stole the Bush family's pressure cooker, so I want to beat you.
Are the economies of the Four Asian Tigers doing well? Send Tiger to have his sheep sheared. China has developed rapidly in the past two years! Then close the door and let the dogs out, no, no, no... Let the Philippines, Japan, and Korea go.
Does the United States really want to go to war? Do they want to take over the whole world? Wrong, the current competition between great powers has long abandoned the backward model of controlling land in the past, and replaced it with a competition for capital.
The United States has repeatedly created hot spots around the world and created a sense of insecurity. In the final analysis, it wants to lower the credit of other countries and force capital to surrender to it.
Capital wants to avoid risks? Come to America, it's the safest place in the world. If you want capital to increase in value, come to the United States. This is the place with the highest credit in the world.
Look at your country. There are conflicts or wars all day long. How dangerous it is to keep money there! Come on, come on, fall into the arms of Uncle Sam.
Xiao Letian was so depressed that he wanted to yell twice. He knew that what he was about to do was actually no different from the domineering United States in later generations.
Does the hero create the situation, or does the situation create the hero? This question is as boring as which came first, the chicken or the egg, because those are the two legs on which history moves forward. Should we take the left leg or the right leg first? Is it necessary to dwell on this issue?
Xiao Letian has never been an arrogant man. He clearly understood that he was just using his extra hundred years of experience to use some potential energy that was already hidden among the people in advance.
The ancients called this kind of energy the general trend. This kind of potential energy is hidden deep in society and can only be discovered by those who are good at observing. Of course, if you can cheat like Xiao Letian, you can also be the first to borrow this power.
Therefore, the hero is not about how awesome he is, but because he borrowed the strongest trend at the time because of his cleverness or just luck.
If Xiao Letian traveled through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, he would never choose to bring trouble to himself by choosing any reform or even rebellion. There is no market at all, and there is no such force in society to support his success.
It is precisely because he traveled to the late Qing Dynasty that the people have gathered a hidden force for change, which can push Xiao Letian to where he is today. Therefore, Xiao Letian is not a hero, he is just a person taking advantage of the situation.
The fortress plan has been pushed to this point, and it is impossible to retreat. Xiao Letian looked at his hands and lamented, "Does it mean that in the end we have to be stained with the blood of innocent people to achieve a great cause? Why is this so? ah……"
At this time, Wang Huaiyuan and others all stood up and said righteously, "The Prime Minister's reputation cannot be affected at all. We have shouldered the responsibility for this plan. As long as the final result is just, we are willing to accept it." A basin of dirty water!”
Xiao Letian was speechless for a moment, and Wang Huaiyuan said calmly, "I know what you want to say, but there is no need to say it. The tide of the times is vast, and everyone has his or her place in history... Our cause still needs the Prime Minister to helm it. These There is no need for you to do things in the dark yourself..."
"But the most critical issue has not yet been resolved. The ten-year strategy has been clearly defined, but what about the hopes of our insiders? If the Prime Minister cannot develop a promotion mechanism that satisfies everyone, if you do not comply with your subordinates' desire for more changes, If there is further desire, then Yang Zhi’s defection incident will definitely not be isolated, and there will be more and more incidents in the future..."
"A embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. The human heart is the hardest thing to understand. I hope the Prime Minister will consider it carefully and not hesitate anymore!"
The historically cloudy Flower Hall Conference of 1868, also known as the Hurricane Conference, has now come to an end. This was a secret meeting without any written record, but he finally finalized China's political structure for the next ten years and had a profound influence for a hundred years.
Everyone is speculating on how Xiao Letian gave domineering remarks and passionate words at this important meeting, but only those who witnessed it know that this meeting was actually a forced marriage.
These senior officials who have followed Xiao Letian for the longest time formally show their cards to Xiao Letian. No matter what, Xiao Letian must face up to this problem.
Not everyone in the world is willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to becoming a great man. If Xiao Letian does not solve this problem, the newly gathered forces may fall apart in a few years.
