Prince of Chaos

Chapter 621 The Foundation of Imperial Power
Today's Pope is the famous Clement VIII!
The reason why he is famous is that he blessed coffee, which became the mainstream drink in the Western world.

Prior to this, coffee has always been unrecognized, an evil thing exclusive to the adult world.

However, this kind of "evil" is obviously another kind of "heresy" in popular culture.

Therefore, Clement VIII followed the people's will, blessed coffee, and justified the names of coffee drinkers in Taixi.

His move, in a sense, can also promote his coffee boom!
Make coffee branded with the imprint of Western civilization!
However, this is just the beginning, who owns such a fetish like coffee depends on whose fist is hard next!

For this, Zhu Changluo is still very confident!

Zhu Changluo has the confidence to cut coffee culture into Daming's food culture.

And the reason why Zhu Changluo can be so sure lies in his interests!
The interests between coffee and tea can be said to be life and death!
As a special representative of oriental civilization, tea is not only a symbol of civilization, but also a source of wealth!
The reason why the Central Plains dynasty was able to control the northern grassland civilization in a long-term peaceful state during the thousands of years of struggle, its secret weapon is tea!

And the secret of the oriental civilization's ability to earn a lot of overseas silver is tea, silk and porcelain.

If the advantage of tea is replaced by another drink, it is estimated that Zhu Changluo will not need to fan the flames, and those big families in the south who grow and sell tea will rush to take action and encourage the court to suppress the "heretics"!
After all, reading sage books is costly.

If you have no money, how can you have the heart to hide in the study, read the books of sages, and scold the ruler?

Therefore, the danger must be nipped in the bud.

However, the problem now is that Zhu Changluo can still control the Nine Sides. If he can control the Nine Sides, Zhu Changluo will not hesitate to encourage the big southerners to support the war of tea and coffee!

Pave the way for the re-opening of the Western Regions!
After all, before every massive war starts, there must be a justifiable reason and strong support.

Otherwise, no matter how fierce the war is, it will be an unjust war unpopular among the public opinion.

Many emperors rashly started the national war because they did not balance their interests and reasons, and the final results were all dismal!

Among them, the most famous is Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang!
If Yang Guang found a legitimate reason and obtained corresponding support, and then started the national war with Goguryeo, then the outcome of this war might be another scene.

It's a pity that Yang Guang came to the top, thinking that he could suppress the powerful people in the world and vigorously start his own great cause and prosperity. As a result, after a war, the powerful people saw through Yang Guang and did not get the corresponding benefits.

Therefore, no matter how loud the slogan is in this national war, it is only the hegemony of the emperor alone, and has nothing to do with the interests of other participants, and will even be "exploited" by the emperor.

This can put these from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.The royal families who have always looked down on me got mad.

When these people rebelled, the whole country was in an uproar in an instant!

In the end, Emperor Sui Yang, who had a great cause in mind, could only be hanged to death on the dragon boat in Jiangdu.

Therefore, when a large-scale war wants to start, it must obtain the support of interested parties in order to gain a foothold in public opinion and supplement logistics.

If only relying on Xishan Huangzhuang's family background to fight the national war at will, the people inside Xishan Huangzhuang will inevitably have a gap in their hearts after a long time.

After all, the money earned by everyone's hard work, although, does not have the power to control and distribute it for a while.

However, as long as the money is in Xishanhuangzhuang, the hearts of Xishanhuangzhuang will be united.

If Zhu Changluo used all the money to fight the national war, then this kind of behavior would be like wasting water in the eyes of the people inside Xishan Huangzhuang.

How can a master who wastes the fruits of everyone's labor gain widespread support?
After all, our ancestors also had a saying, "Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality"!
These money can be separated, but they must not be "wasted" wantonly!
Because, in the eyes of the majority of Xishanhuangzhuang interest groups, this kind of behavior is a manifestation of "uneven distribution of spoils"!

Therefore, as the owner of Xishan Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo will not casually use everyone's common interests to "do nothing".

He will definitely find a suitable and profitable reason to encourage everyone, just like developing Ningxia Town, Zhu Changluo first spread the various benefits of Ningxia Town to encourage everyone, and after drawing a big cake.

Zhu Changluo invested heavily in the construction of Niutougou Town and Jingning Cement Road.

Otherwise, who would go to the northwest to drink the northwest wind like a fool?
Do you really think that Zhu Changluo can do whatever he wants with Xishan Huangzhuang?Do you really think that the consciousness and loyalty of those who follow the crown prince are really to the point where they can dedicate their lives to their children and grandchildren?
Don't be ridiculous, no matter how strong the imperial power is, it must make the people who follow the imperial power profitable and have hope to look forward to, so that they can be twisted together and the power can be consolidated.

Otherwise, that would be the fate of Emperor Chongzhen!

The fundamental reason why Emperor Chongzhen was placed on the southeast branch was because of his imperial power, which could no longer bring the benefits of giving up his life to those around him.

Therefore, whether it was the courtiers around him or the local people, they all began to contempt for the imperial power in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen.Then, no matter how crazy Emperor Chongzhen was, how he killed ministers, he could not reverse the decline!

Because, the benefits of hanging out with him are gone.No matter how great his power is, it is only a flashback before the temporary, and it cannot be regarded as real.

Therefore, Chongzhen died.

Therefore, as a rational and sober person, Zhu Changluo naturally understands how to use the imperial power to be truly invincible!

If the imperial power wants to be strong, it must see hope and future for those who follow it!
Even the bloodthirsty Zhu Yuanzhang, when he killed Hu Weiyong, Lan Yu and others, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had to win over a group of newly promoted scholars as the backing of his rule!
Although there are many people involved in the Hu Weiyong case, these people are the first wave of literati groups in the old ministry such as Qianyuan or Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, etc. who followed Lao Zhu to start a business or took refuge halfway.These people's sense of "ownership" is too strong and does not meet the needs of governance!
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang became the co-lord of the world and the gentry returned to their hearts, he could pick up the butcher knife and kill the original wave of people.Because the newly promoted gentry can get the benefits of the seat of the cut off.No matter how extensive the Hu case is, it cannot shake Lao Zhu's absolute leadership.

Because the newly promoted nobles have become die-hard supporters of the imperial power!It provided a strong public opinion foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang's next rule!

The same is true for the Sapphire case.

In the Sapphire case, all Huaixi nobles were hacked, and the newly promoted gentry of course agreed with both hands and feet.

Because this makes room for them again.

Therefore, if you want the imperial power to be stable, you want to have stable power.

It is necessary to benefit those who follow the imperial power and follow themselves.

Only in this way, these people will desperately support themselves and the imperial power!

Make yourself invincible!
