Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 150 Daming's own problems

Although Louis XVI was guillotined for refusing to change, the reason why Louis XVI refused to change was entirely because of France's own problems.

To analyze the problems of France itself, the best way is to use the dragon-slaying secret technique in the first volume of the Anthology of the Great Ancestor to dissect the performance and see the essence:
First of all, according to the French, the French class is divided into three classes, except the king who does not belong to any class, namely the senior priests of the first class, the nobles of the second class, and the bourgeois and peasants of the third class. Citizens, proletarians, and lower classes of people.

However, this division is extremely unreasonable.

Strictly speaking, the king does not belong to any class, but he should appear as the core of the second class and the savior of the third class, but Louis XVI did not realize this, so that the third class and the first class, the first class The two classes formed serious antagonisms.

The second is the economic problems of France. Due to the excessive participation in the war in the Louis XV era and the failure to win, the treasury was empty, and the financial pressure brought about by participating in the American War of Independence.

Coupled with the aristocratic class, especially the luxurious life of Louis XVI who lived in Versailles and Queen Marie Antoinette, the deficit lady, the economic burden of the common people was greatly increased, and the old and inefficient financial system could not afford the government debt , and the unreasonable tax system makes all this worse.

The third reason is the drought in 1785, the drought in the spring of 1788, the hail disaster in July 1788, and the severe cold in the winter of the same year.

In fact, when the drought in 1788 occurred, France had not yet recovered from the drought in 1875. In 1785, due to insufficient feed, there was a large-scale slaughter of livestock, resulting in livestock excrement. French farmland, which is used as the main fertilizer, is not fertile enough and a large amount of it is idle.

As for the so-called Enlightenment and the like, it’s just nonsense, just take it as a joke, don’t take it seriously-capitalists will always package things they want ordinary people to know, but they Never tell the truth.

The cruelest fact is that the Song Dynasty had the germination of materialism, the Song Dynasty was cold, and the Ming Dynasty also had the germination of capitalism, so the Ming Dynasty was also cold, and capitalism appeared in France, so Louis XVI was guillotined .

The core of capital is greed. For the sake of profit, they dare to transfer the risk of trillions of funds to the country. They dare to create millions of water workers. Like 996, it is actually considered good, but it is a small violation of labor. Law only.

Based on the above reasons, we can draw an obvious conclusion: Louis XVI did not refuse to change, but accepted that the changes wanted by the third class would shake the royal power itself, so he needed to maintain the rights of the first and second classes. Prepare to suppress the third class.

Would Louis XVI have resisted the change if it would have strengthened the crown?

Pierre is naturally well aware of Louis XVI's plan, especially after Zeng Cheng's "analysis", Pierre has a clearer view of the current situation in France.

After a long silence, Pierre said: "His Majesty the King will definitely agree to the change."

After looking at Grand Maester Diderot again, Grand Maester Holbach said: "If you must start to change, then the best way is not to learn everything about the Ming Dynasty, but to learn from the people first. Start."

"Don't doubt, Pierre, I know that the Tatars were defeated by the Ming country, and I also know that everything in the Ming country is the best. I can't wait to move all the systems and culture of the Ming country back to France."

"But you know, this is not realistic - the emperor of the Ming Dynasty started from scratch and accumulated a little bit of capital, while our French treasury has a deficit of 20 billion francs. If we rashly learn everything about the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid shake the foundations of France."

"If you don't trust me, you can go to the prime minister of Ming for advice and listen to his opinion."

Pierre suddenly thought of what Zeng Cheng said.

"Reduce taxes on civilians, increase business taxes on merchants, and attack those nobles who have fiefdoms but are of little use to the court."

Yes, it is a reduction rather than a complete exemption like the Ming Dynasty, because France's finances are temporarily inseparable from this part of the income.

Thinking of this, Pierre nodded and asked: "So, what do you mean by learning from the Tatars? Is it that you will never be rewarded?"

Grand Maester Holbach nodded and said, "That's right, that is, there will never be any tax increase. This requires His Majesty the King to reduce or exempt part of the taxes of those common people, and then use a fixed tax as the collection amount, and it will not increase from now on. "

"At the same time, His Majesty the King needs to promulgate some policies that are friendly to the petty bourgeoisie, and then strengthen the taxation of the big bourgeoisie."

"Let the king and queen reduce expenditure as much as possible, because once these policies are implemented, the interests of the nobles will inevitably be affected. This requires reducing the expenditure of the king and queen to prevent the nobles from falling to the big bourgeoisie."

"Of course, if the king has an army as powerful as that of the Ming Dynasty, then I didn't say it. He can implement any policy he wants without worrying about those nobles."

Grand Maester Diderot glanced at Grand Maester Holbach, thinking that there is no such trouble, let France become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty directly, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty has the obligation to be responsible for France, and the problem will be solved naturally-nobles dare to make trouble, Can they make a fuss over Da Ming's army?
Of course, Grand Master Diderot also knew that this was impossible. After all, France claimed to be an ally of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning. If it suddenly became the son of the Ming Dynasty, no one would be able to accept it.

After thinking about it, Diderot also expressed his support: "Pierre, just now you said that the royal family and the government are like ships, and the common people are like water. This sentence is very philosophical."

"Although this sentence was told by the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, no one has ever put forward such a reasonable statement, whether it is in France or in Europa. From this point, we can see how much Europa is compared to the ancient countries in the Far East. behind."

"Of course, I also know that this is impossible. After all, the history of the ancient Far East is too long. Their scholars are as shining as the stars in the sky. Compared with the Far East, Europa is undoubtedly as pitiful as a desert. "

"So, I support your idea, let His Majesty the King start to change, we must strengthen our study of the Ming Kingdom, no matter what aspect it is."

"As long as France learns from the Ming Dynasty earlier and faster than other countries in Europa, then France will be the most powerful country in Europa."

Pierre thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? If it weren't for learning from the Republic of China earlier and faster, would I dare someone to bring back two hundred foreign students?
After thinking about it, Pierre simply asked: "How long will it take for you to finish reading the books that are open to you in the library of the Ming Kingdom? If possible, I think we should return to France as soon as possible to assist His Majesty the King to start dealing with France. changes."

Grand Maester Holbach shook his head and said, "Pierre, I don't know if you have been to the Daming Library. If you have, then you should know that it is only open to us. Part of it is far more than the entire "Royal Library of France" collection."

"So, it is impossible for us to read all of them in our lifetime, even if it is only the small part that is open to us."

Diderot nodded approvingly, but then he couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Do you know, Pierre, the characters of the Ming Dynasty are so advanced that they can typeset horizontally from left to right, and they can Can be typeset vertically from right to left."

"However, whether it is our French text or those of the Rose Beef, they must follow the pattern of horizontal layout from left to right, otherwise it will greatly affect reading."

"Damn it, why don't we have writing as advanced as the Ming Dynasty?"

Pierre nodded and said, "I've discovered it a long time ago. However, this is exactly what we want to learn from the Ming Dynasty—although we don't have it, but if we learn it, we will have it."

……

While Pierre was discussing with Holbach and Diderot how to promote the reform of France, Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, was also thinking about how to reform Ming.

Yes, in the eyes of Pierre and others, Daming is almost perfect, but in the eyes of Zhu Jinsong, there are a lot of problems.

This matter was mainly done by Zhu Jinsong.

In some respects, Zhu Jinsong kept stroking the rabbit and the silly eagle across the river, not caring at all whether the rabbit and the silly eagle would be touched by him, or whether someone would ask him to collect copyright fees.

For example, the attributes of the bombing force, the establishment and discipline of the army, the principle of long-arm jurisdiction, multiple supervision principles such as Yushitai and the Metropolitan Procuratorate plus Jinyiwei, the abolition of slavery, and so on.

On the other hand, Zhu Jinsong directly copied Daming's system.

For example, tyranny, corruption, 60 taels must be peeled and eaten grass, and all ethnic groups are forbidden to marry each other, etc.

It has to be admitted that these are two completely different systems, and there are bound to be many conflicts among them. This requires Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and all the bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty to find a balance in the middle. Whether it is left or right, it is easy to go wrong.

To give the simplest example—the implicated company system is in opposition to the rights of the common people, but who can say that the implicated company system is unreasonable?
If there is no implicated company system, then wait for someone Qu to sing a song of hers while spending the money her mother corrupted abroad, and the drama of Yun Jinxiao will be staged.

Or just like Princess Xu, relying on the money and connections of his parents on the one hand, and Xuzhou's platform and resources on the other.

Anyway, the Internet has no memory.

To put it bluntly, such things as human rights are a false concept, created by those rich and powerful aristocrats to protect themselves—even if something goes wrong, as long as one unlucky person is sacrificed, the family can continue to enjoy it. , don't need to assume any current position, isn't this the right of a person?

Ordinary people who have no money, power, power, or even a way to speak out feel that human rights are a good thing after a little exposure?
However, what is desperate is that human rights are indeed a good thing, because ordinary people can live more like a person than an animal even if they have only a little bit of light.

For example, Zhulian Jiuzu.

One person rebelled, implicating the nine clans, and many members of the nine clans who didn't know about it and didn't even think about rebelling together were about to be killed for no reason. Is this considered a random disaster?

In many cases, such similar conflicts have always existed, but Zhu Jinsong's version of the Ming court has been expanding externally, and internal welfare is also increasing, so these problems have not yet erupted.

Of course, Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, could not turn a blind eye to this situation.

The reason why I didn't see it before was that it only occupied a few provinces and there was the presence of the Qing Dynasty, so I didn't care about these issues for the time being.

And as the sixteen provinces of Han land were brought back to Ming Dynasty, these problems gradually surfaced.

If you pretend you can't see, then you are really blind.

PS: I was suddenly banned for two chapters today. I don’t know where the rules were violated. Even the author, I, was banned for seven days.
