After the moon-viewing banquet at Kasuga Mountain, Xiao Letian temporarily solved the crisis within the family. It was impossible for Fu Yin'er to build a mansion. He was only a little older, so he could only reserve some money in advance. Talent.
Ito Hirobumi served as Fu Yin'er's assistant. According to the official rank of the Qing Dynasty, he was probably in the third rank. This was already a very high official position for a young man under thirty years old.
Washing a horse does not mean actually washing the horse. Saying the word "wash" three times is an official position in ancient times dedicated to assisting the prince.
He is not the prince's mentor, but a minister who assists the prince. He helps the prince solve political problems and makes various suggestions for reference.
Of course, a breastfeeding child has no government affairs to deal with, so Ito Hirobumi's most important task at the moment is to support the prince. His existence has already proved Fu Yin'er's identity to everyone.
When Fu Yin'er studies in the future, he will have a group of literary and military companions, and a group of children of the same age will study and live with him. These children will be Fu Yin'er's basic right-hand men in the future.
Ito Hirobumi also wants to be the head of this group of children. Not only that, he also needs to control a certain amount of the prince's guard. In the future, Xiao Letian will select a group of middle-level officers from the Chinese ethnic group to assist Ito in building this guard.
A lot of rules were set for Ito Hirobumi, and a lot of ugly things were said in front of him, but he was finally given a legal identity, and Ito's gamble was finally concluded.
Xiao Letian spent the next three days with Huniu, eating, drinking and having fun on the west coast of Fusang. Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on the extravagance.
It wasn't until he left Zhijiangjin Port and headed south three days later that Xiao Letai calmed down and began to consider future strategic arrangements.
The Hidden Dragon Project is the core part of all Xiao Letian's strategies, because this matter is not only related to the future generations of the Chinese pioneers, but also related to the development of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years in the future.
Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan, Luo Huo, Xiang Shaolong, Bing Tailang... these officials who first created the Chinese world are all qualified to enter the Hidden Dragon Project, and their descendants will definitely enjoy the hidden dragon. Benefits brought by Project Dragon.
Of course, there are also the Fan Lian family, shopkeeper Niu, Boss Mi, Liu Henzhen and other business elites... Moreover, the Hidden Dragon Project is not a closed organization. In the future, the Chinese will also produce some scientists and political elites, and they will also be able to integrate into this organization. Go to the organization.
At present, all the meritorious Chinese people who know about the Hidden Dragon Project still have a very one-sided understanding of the Hidden Dragon Project. Basically everyone thinks that this is a blessing created by the Prime Minister for everyone, and it was carried out by the Prime Minister like the Eight Banners. The same small independent group.
Of course, individual elites such as Fan Yan, Liu Henzhen and Wang Huaiyuan will think about the problem of capital pooling. Their higher level will interpret Xiao Letian's Hidden Dragon Plan from the capital exclusive plan.
But no one has realized that the Silver Dragon Plan has a deeper and more important historical mission, which is to gather the power of Chinese capital and form a small centralized force to push the Chinese forward at some points. .
Centralization, the Yinlong Project has a centralized system within it, and the purpose of this centralization is to fight against the people’s free thoughts.
Only the most astute politicians can understand how to use centralization and democratic freedoms effectively, and Xiao Letian is obviously such a person.
From the perspective of human nature, as a natural person, he is qualified and has the right to fully enjoy the income from his labor. It is not difficult to understand. If I create 10 million in wealth in my life, then I should enjoy all of this 10 million.
But in reality, this ideal state does not exist. Because humans are greedy, so if you have 10 million in wealth, you want to take more from others, steal another million from others, and enjoy 1,100 million. What a great thing!
What is even more tragic is that human beings are still social creatures, and society requires everyone to contribute their own wealth to operate. You have to pay taxes, pay grain, and pay corvee labor.
In other words, if you can keep 7 million out of 10 million, it is considered good. This is the contradiction between an individual natural person and society.
Maybe someone has said, why should I pay? I don’t pay a penny to this society. I will consume the wealth I create. This is my right.
Unfortunately, this situation does not exist, because a single natural person cannot be separated from society, and you cannot survive without society.
You need the police to protect your safety, you need the army to protect your life, you need teachers to teach you knowledge, you also need sanitation workers to clean the streets for you, doctors to diagnose and treat your diseases...
Abandoning all this, a single natural person will quickly transform into a savage, or even die.
Since it is impossible to break away from society, human beings can only accept this reality, dedicate part of their wealth in patience, and in exchange for society's recognition of you, you can enjoy various social services.
Since mankind entered the civilized era, the conflicts between the people and social managers have actually focused on this issue of wealth distribution ratio.
Everyone hopes to pay as little as possible, or even pay nothing at all.
The government naturally hopes to collect as much as possible, so that it can keep you fed and clothed.
There is no room for reconciliation of this kind of contradiction. It is just a seesaw game in which one is ebbing and the other is escalating. In the past few years, the people have had less contact, and in the next few years the government has collected more. It is like the ups and downs of the two sections of a seesaw.
Xiao Letian wants to build the largest ironclad navy in Asia and second in the world. Is this a huge project? Since there is investment, there must be a decline of one thing and another. The navy has taken away the most wealth from the Chinese society, and naturally other industries will take less.
Taxes will increase, inflation will increase, workers' incomes will decrease, and infrastructure investment will slow down... all of which will reduce people's happiness.
When resentment accumulates to a certain level, even if Xiao Letian is a great man who founded the country, he will still be scolded and he will still gain hatred.
Of course, some people will say that the navy was established to protect the people!
However, the people did not feel the painful feeling of losing their country and their family. They only felt the pressure of taxes and the hardship of life. Their eyes would only focus on how many pieces of meat were missing from their bowl.
Should Xiao Letian obey this public opinion at this time? What will happen if you obey?
When the Chinese do not have a large navy that can protect themselves, when the wealth of the Chinese has accumulated to the point where the British are drooling, when the steel warships of the Royal Navy block all the Chinese seaports, when bayonets are placed in the common people's eyes. After the neck...
"They will definitely scold him! Haha... Then they will scold Xiao Letian for not preparing for war in advance and why he didn't form the Chinese navy. They will definitely..."
Xiao Letian was holding a hot coffee cup and talking to himself on the ship like a madman. Ito Hirobumi was waiting quietly ten steps away without saying a word.
