I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 182 Roosevelt: If I don’t go to hell, who will? Chat topic: Relations between people and major countries

Is it necessary to treat businessmen emotionally?

Washington's sigh made Zhu Houzhao stunned for a moment.

He did feel that the United States treated businessmen favorably.

Could this be the reason why the United States has developed relatively quickly?

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Our Tang Dynasty is not ruthless towards businessmen, but... why should we be ruthless towards some businessmen who have offended the interests of the imperial court and have no sense of proportion? The fact that they can make money is the favor of the court. Apart from that, what other benefits can they bring to the country? In the United States, is it possible that businessmen are supreme? 】

Zhu Houzhao also took the opportunity to ask questions, which was definitely from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, when the Tang Dynasty and its kingdoms came to the DPRK, there were no restrictions on business.

As for the Ming Dynasty, to put it bluntly, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, their sense of businessmen was average.

Zhu Houzhao felt the same way, and there was nothing too special about it.

As for the United States allowing the two business families to develop and grow, they can't do anything yet.

Obviously businessmen come first.

Zhu Houzhao was really curious about this kind of social structure.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: We in the United States cannot say that businessmen are supreme, but in general, lawyers should be supreme and the law should be supreme. Because whether it was President Jackson... or other presidents, at least most of them entered politics as lawyers. And...the reason why President Washington feels your ruthlessness towards businessmen is because of civilization. 】

[We here are not like Your Majesty Li, who can take away a person's life at will. 】

[This is too authoritarian and undemocratic for us. 】

Cleveland immediately explained the reason for the discrepancy.

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Haha, because of civilization? You guys don't kill such businessmen who steal the country and let them compete with the people for profit, but instead make more people homeless. Is this called civilization? 】

Zhu Houzhao sneered, what do you mean they are too authoritarian.

Is autocracy bad?
[Merceron Roosevelt: President Cleveland, I think it is better not to discuss this issue with an autocratic monarch. Your Majesty Li, what we value is that everyone is equal, and that is why we do not use extreme means to deal with them. It's because we can use this method to deal with them, and they can also use this method to deal with us. 】

[After all, our presidential term lasts only eight years. 】

[Once this Pandora's box is opened, it will fall into an endless extreme confrontation. 】

[Of course, I also understand your dislike of some businessmen who steal the country, but not every businessman is so hateful. 】

[They open factories, circulate and exchange resources, and provide jobs for workers. On the contrary, they can promote the circulation of social wealth and the liberation of productivity. 】

[In addition, they also use money to invest in invention and creation, which to some extent contributes to society. 】

[The most important point is that business activities promoted by merchants allow us to collect a business tax. This is much more than agricultural taxes and will help our country’s finances. 】

[Without national taxation, we cannot build an army. 】

[Agricultural taxes alone, that is, the output of farmers’ land, cannot make a country truly strong. 】

[Only by relying on commercial taxes can we be truly strong. 】

Roosevelt realized that Cleveland only exported emotions and did not explain the other side of businessmen to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

He immediately explained it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao understood it now. Thinking of the commercial tax situation in the two Song Dynasties, it was easy for him to understand.

No wonder their business status is so high.

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Okay, I understand. Anyway, the advice I gave you will be helpful to you, Roosevelt. 】

Zhu Houzhao didn't bother anymore and realized it was time to change the topic.

[Merceron Roosevelt: It helps, it definitely helps. I'm already thinking about how to treat them harshly. 】

After such an exchange, Roosevelt recognized Zhu Houzhao's trumpet and listened to his comfort.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Roosevelt, you should be more cautious. It's just a warning from friends. They are not that easy to move. Even if your family has some power, I still think... your safety is important. Maybe this problem can be left to future generations to solve. 】

Seeing that Roosevelt was so kind to the Emperor of the East, Cleveland didn't know that Roosevelt was really moved, and immediately gave a final warning.

When he becomes president, he still seeks stability.

[Merceron Roosevelt: President Cleveland, thank you for your concern and advice. But I cannot agree with what you said. If everyone thinks like you and leaves the problem to future generations to solve, then... if future generations place their trust in future generations, wouldn’t it mean that they can only slowly develop and grow, and eventually let Do they form the same stubborn disease as the church and the nobility? 】

[Now that I have realized it, there is a way. Then I am willing to start from me and try to solve this problem! 】

[So what if I die? 】

[Now that I have become the president, I must do what I should do for the United States and not shrink back! 】

[This is my creed as president! You've also seen my style as police chief! 】

[What’s more, after meeting great presidents like you, it’s even more impossible for me to do nothing! 】

[I also really want to be a great president like President Washington, President Jackson, President Lincoln, and President Grant! 】

[This is a good point for all presidents to bear witness to! 】

This reflects the gap between Cleveland and Roosevelt.

Roosevelt was obviously a bastard who was determined to do something big.

Yo!
This Roosevelt actually has a style that says if I don’t go to hell, who else will!
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and now he felt that Roosevelt's image was three-dimensional, and he really looked like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Roosevelt, well said! Do you know the meaning of your Sejong temple name? This temple name is the temple name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty here! I hope you won’t insult this temple name! I fully support you and take action against various interest groups in the country! You America, it’s obviously time for drastic reforms! 】

Zhu Houzhao immediately encouraged him.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Roosevelt actually wants to do it, Cleveland, you can’t do it! I obviously encountered a lot of problems, but I didn’t dare to do it. But Roosevelt is different. He seems to be better than you! 】

At this time, Louis XVI also felt Roosevelt's personal characteristics and couldn't help but praise him.

[American Taizu Washington: I also feel that the current Roosevelt has your characteristics! Regardless, you seem to be a doer and I support you! As long as it can make America better, the methods can be bloody. 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: I hope you are not telling us. I look forward to your good news. 】

[Mercy Lincoln: This style of doing what you say is really admirable. Roosevelt, I somewhat admire your determination. 】

[Meili Zong Grant: Haha, Roosevelt, you make me look forward to it now. 】

Several presidents expressed their expectations because of his vow.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: This makes me look... haha, okay! Roosevelt, you once again changed my view on the Republican Party. I hope everything goes well for you. 】

Cleveland couldn't help but shook his head. Such a comparison made him look very cowardly.

He didn't mind either. Instead, he hoped that Roosevelt would take action and give him a good vent.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Thank you presidents for your support and encouragement. I will definitely work hard. 】

Roosevelt also made his final statement, very seriously.

[Supreme group leader: Roosevelt, you are very good. In fact, this group leader also hopes that you will not just talk, but prove it with your actual actions. Some people, who have been here for so long, just take actions with words, I hope you don't imitate them. 】

Zhu Houzhao also stepped in to add fuel to the fire, wanting to see whether Roosevelt did it first or Lincoln did it first and defected to the South.

After all, newcomers have to do things as soon as they come up. Lincoln and the others have talked in vain for so many times, but there is no sign of any action.

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was a little anxious.

Aside from using the group to gain benefits, he really wanted to see Lincoln's fate change.

[Meshi Zu Lincoln: Uh... the group leader is not talking about me, is he? 】Lincoln decisively took his seat.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Haha, if I wasn’t talking about you Lincoln, who else could I be talking about! I went to see Napoleon, but you... did you take action? The group leader is right. I hope you, the presidents of the United States, will take action and stop just talking and bragging. 】

As soon as such an obvious hint came out, Louis XVI immediately proudly exposed Lincoln's background.

[ Mercer Lincoln: Alas, Your Majesty Louis XVI, if I really want to be like you here, I wish I could meet Napoleon. This decision is difficult to make. 】

Lincoln let out a long sigh. He didn't want to be a loudmouthed king.

It is really difficult to make a decision to vote for the South.

Especially...two more descendants came and admired what he did, and he had even more idol baggage.

[Merceron Roosevelt: What would President Lincoln do? Need my help? 】

Roosevelt and Grant immediately sensed the Riddler's behavior in the group.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Let’s talk about this topic later! Group leader, I feel that the second stage is almost complete, and we should be able to enter the third stage. 】

Cleveland was afraid that the topic would get sidetracked again, so he decisively interrupted.

[Supreme Group Leader: OK! Then enter the third stage, the topic discussion session. 】

[The first topic is: Discuss what talents are needed to build a global power? How do you develop and select talents? This topic is worth 5 to 20 points, and points are still given based on the value of the speech. 】

Zhu Houzhao did not delay and directly gave a slightly modified agenda.

[In addition, let me add here: This topic can be big or small, and you can propose modifications as needed. 】

[Also, the topics for topic setting will be considered and provided by the group members after this time. When the chat ends, they will be reported to the group leader, who will select the topics for discussion. 】

Zhu Houzhao also realized that he was always alone and had no vision of future generations.

As the number of group members increases, he will also reveal his knowledge on some issues.

Therefore, we decisively liberalized the power of setting issues and replaced them with the power of selecting issues.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Is that so? Indeed...group leader, your topic is really too big, and I think it should be revised. The topic you want everyone to discuss should be about human factors. What is needed to build a global power, such as an empire on which the sun never sets, right? 】

Cleveland made decisive adjustments and kept up with Zhu Houzhao's thinking.

[Supreme Group Leader: Well, almost! Just focus on the human factor. 】

Zhu Houzhao didn't have much, so he let these people supplement and improve it on their own.

The purpose of setting this topic was to look at the gap between the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system and the American imperial examination system.

Similarly, the core consideration for emperors and presidents in this position is also the issue of how to employ people.

Also, it also included his questions... In just a few decades, the population of the United States has grown rapidly, and he also wanted to get answers.

[American Yingzong·Cleveland: Focusing on human issues, how to build an empire on which the sun never sets? The topic of the group leader is still very broad, but there are many directions that can be discussed. 】

Cleveland sums it up again.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: President Grant, Roosevelt, this is a new stage. The core point of every gathering we have is to discuss some useful topics in governing the country. We have previously discussed issues such as our two-party system in the United States, the formation of congresses in the world, etc. You may not be comfortable with it, but we will discuss it first, and you may understand after taking a look. 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Okay, let me take a look first. 】

[Meili Zong Grant: Let me take a look first. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I will wait and see how you answer first. 】

Roosevelt and Grant decided to wait and see.

[American Taizu·Washington: Focusing on human issues, how to build an empire on which the sun never sets? For me, the entry point for this issue is much smaller. Group leader... I can only discuss what kind of people are needed to build our country, the United States. I can only discuss it from the perspective of personnel at the beginning of the founding of the country. 】

Washington also decisively and accurately positioned itself and found its own direction of discussion.

[Supreme Group Leader: Yes, everything is OK! It’s not like you haven’t participated in discussions, so long as you have something to say. 】

Zhu Houzhao did not refuse anyone who came.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay, group leader! Dear Presidents, here is my starting point for discussing this issue. How about I try to talk about it first? 】

Cleveland soon had a direction for discussion. After all, he felt that this topic was targeted at him and he had a strong say.

He also wanted to set an example for Roosevelt and others.

[Supreme Group Leader: OK, you go ahead. 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Cleveland, go ahead and give us an idea. 】

Naturally, other people have no objections.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, my starting point is the population. I believe that in order to become a qualified big country, the population must first reach a certain size before it can be called a big country. 】

[For example, when President Washington founded the country, we in the United States only had 300 million people. 】

[During the period of President Jefferson, around 1805, the population was about million. 】

[During President Jackson’s time, around 1837, there were about 1500 million people. 】

[By the time of President Lincoln’s Civil War, around 1864, there were about 3100 million people in the country. 】

[By our time, in 1896, the country’s population was about million. 】

[Roosevelt, what was the population at your time? 】

Cleveland made a gesture first, and then paused here.

[Mercerson Roosevelt: According to our statistics in 1900, the number should have been million people. It is estimated that we have exceeded million people now. 】

Roosevelt immediately added.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Yes! From this population number, we can see that to become a big country, it must have a population of tens of millions, and at the same time as the sun never sets, it has almost a population of more than 200 million. 】

[With so many people, they can form an army of one million just by roughly forming an army. It is obviously not something that some small countries can match. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: Huh? Wait...there's something wrong with your population! In the thirty years since Lincoln arrived in Cleveland, the population has doubled to 30 million! Didn’t you just finish the civil war? How could the population be restored so quickly? 】

[Also...Cleveland, weren't you only 10 years away from Roosevelt? Why did the population of million suddenly reach million? Did your people appear out of thin air? You didn’t give birth that fast, right? 】

Sure enough, he got what he wanted, and Zhu Houzhao asked the key points at once.

[American Taizu Washington: It is true... Our population is growing too fast. 】

[Merezu Louis XVI: Cleveland, Roosevelt...are you sure there are really that many people in America? 】

Louis XVI and Washington also had the same question. This comparison of data was very intuitive, and they immediately saw the difference.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: I guessed that everyone would ask this. I just wanted to talk about the population growth of our United States... First of all, from 1800 to 1820, everyone should remember His Majesty Napoleon's seven anti-French alliances! Obviously, Europe is at war, and many people took the opportunity to come to our American side. 】

[For these immigrants, we basically accept all who come! 】

[Basically, when they come, we give them land. 】

[The second stage of population growth... was in 1848 before the Civil War. Didn't I say before that gold was discovered in California? People from all over the world are rushing to come to us to find gold. This also increases the size of our population. 】

[The third stage was the Civil War... Because of President Lincoln's signing of the Homestead Act, coupled with the unrest in Europe, the Franco-Prussian War and our economic development, more immigrants came over. 】

Cleveland decisively talked about the growth of the immigrant population in the United States. Zhu Houzhao was naturally shocked when this pattern of population growth came out.
