742 Sanctification!
Thinking of this story, Xiao Lotian shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed in his heart, "Of course I am not a phoenix, and those who hold traditional ideas are not owls, but there is indeed a huge gap between our minds like a phoenix and an owl......"
From the moment Xiao Letian wrote his book Journey to the West, he had already begun to point out the direction of the future development of the human world for the Chinese nation.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the earth will become smaller and smaller, and in the end, the small size of the earth is a village, and when the aerospace technology matures, the travel across the hemisphere is only a dozen hours.
The steam engine is definitely not the ultimate of human power, the flame of coal will eventually be replaced by the flame of oil, and the internal combustion engine is the royal road of the future world.
In the face of the mighty general trend, everything that the traditional Chinese literati believe in will be smashed and crushed to powder! In the new century, when human civilization has begun to unleash its most brilliant glory, the old ideas that China has clinged to are not just a dead mouse, but a rotten dead mouse!
Technological development has made the geopolitics of the past a joke, mountains, deserts and oceans cannot stop the torrent of steel, and the inertial thinking that China has cultivated for thousands of years will completely collapse.
Isn't that the case now, when an invincible enemy attacks from the sea, aren't all the politicians and military strategists who have only studied the continent all their lives dumbfounded?
If one day, when airplanes roar in the sky and drop tons of explosives on people's heads, when crawlers crush all obstacles and rush into every flowery city, when deserts and plateaus cannot withstand the enemy's attack, will the Chinese nation still have to pay tens of millions of lives in exchange for peace?
Therefore, Xiao Lotian must fulfill the responsibility of a traverser, and he must point out a correct path for smart people when the situation is not so pessimistic.
Xiao Lotian smiled, only today was the happiest laugh since he crossed, and Zaichun next to him actually felt a taste of holiness.
"I'm such a fool, I really think of myself as a saint, why do I want to save everybody, what if they refuse you, what if they think they're doing the right thing?"
"From now on, I will never think about such naïve questions again, the only purpose of my existence in this world is to show the way for more Chinese who want to change, I am the lighthouse on the seashore, I am the navigator on the vast sea, I show you the way......"
"Whether you like it or not, I, Xiao Letian, am there, willing to go all the way with me, I welcome! If you don't want to follow my direction, I won't force ......."
"As for those who deliberately stand in my way and block my way, I don't mind crushing him completely and spitting on him......"
"Hahaha, that's right, the choice of life and death is in everyone's own hands, I, Xiao Letian, will never want to change the hearts of those who eat the ancients, from now on, I will first become a self-interester, and then consider benefiting others!"
"That beautiful new world, only those who are destined can share it together, as for those who are eliminated by the wheel of history, even if they cry to death in front of me in the future, I will not soften my heart!"
The last breath of depression in Xiao Letian's heart was dissolved, and the faint golden light of the sunset shining on his body wrapped him inside, Zaichun rubbed his eyes fiercely, and at that moment he clearly felt the change in the temperament of the master.
In the past, Xiao Lotian was shrewd, resolute, and heroic like a sharp unsheathed knife, but at this moment, Xiao Lotian is deep, introverted, like a rock, and the clouds are light and light, as if there is a dusty fairy aura lingering.
When Xiao Letian swept away all the obstacles in his heart and eradicated all the demons in his heart, he didn't dare to say that he had become a saint at this moment, at least he dared to say that he was a half-saint.
Under Xiao Letian's gaze, Zaichun involuntarily lowered his head, but Xiao Letian dragged him up, "You want to help the imperial court solve the current financial crisis, this is a good thing, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, on your shoulders is power on one side, and on the other side is obligation!"
"Do you want to be pro-government? If you want, you can pro-government now, and the whole court will not resist the decision you make, just like when I took you out of Beijing City......
"You are the emperor, of course you must have the authority of the emperor...... Remember, power is earned, not by your status......"
On the same day, Emperor Tongzhi of the Great Qing Dynasty issued the second holy decree of his life in the castle tower of Osaka Castle, "Details of the Twenty-year Tax Law Reform of the Great Qing Dynasty"
Aixin Jueluo Zaichun, born in March 1856, in 1861 inherited Dabao to become the Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, when he was only 6 years old, at the beginning of 1867, that is, before the Lunar New Year, the 12-year-old Aixin Jueluo Zaichun issued the first holy decree of his life, leaving Beijing to study abroad.
Just over seven months later, in Osaka Castle, Japan, he signed his second holy decree to reform the tax law of the Qing Dynasty.
This is simply a miracle, a 12-year-old child issued two holy decrees a year, the first one was forcibly passed under the military authority of Xiao Letian, and this second holy decree will anyone listen?
Zaichun has no bottom in his heart, but Xiao Letian is very sure in his heart, because what he gave Daqing is a gift package that he can't refuse at all.
Just as the edict of Emperor Tongji flew along the telegraph line to Ryukyu and Daisei, the shogun and the daimyo finally reached an agreement on the distribution of shares in the Fuso Bank, and an armistice was signed in Dotonbori in Osaka that evening.
That night, Xiao Letian and Emperor Tongzhi attended the peace banquet, at which the Fuso Bank, which received the first batch of capital injections, provided Japan with 10 million yen in reconstruction funds, which focused on Japan's fragile agriculture and infrastructure.
Not only that, but Xiao also hoped that Japan would form a parliament to replace the bloody war with a parliamentary debate, with each daimyo holding a different seat according to their strength, and voting according to the number of seats when a dispute arises.
Xiao Lotian knows that it takes a process to get Japanese people who like to talk with knives to choose to use debate to solve problems, but as long as you take the first step in everything, it is a success.
There will always be people who are unwilling to accept this kind of voting decision, and there will always be some stupid people who choose to continue to use violence to speak, but the current situation in Japan is completely different from the previous life.
Xiao Lotian's military might became the last line of insurance, and he promised at the banquet that whoever dared to betray the decision of the parliament and continue to solve the problem with violence, then the new army of the Ryukyus would punish him.
Xiao Letian's proposal was unanimously supported by the general and all the daimyo present, of course, they did not dare not support it, they had already understood the combat effectiveness of the army in the prime minister's hands, and now no one would twist the prime minister's tiger whiskers again.
Immediately after that, Emperor Tongzhi on the throne suddenly spoke, and the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom actually gave a big gift to the people present, which made everyone stunned.
