1608 Jae-soon asked

An important factor inseparable from the stability of political power in the Middle Ages was the closure of public opinion, the household registration system has lasted in China for thousands of years, and the common people have been locked in their own hometowns, their education level is very low, not only do they have no newspapers, television and other media, but even more than ninety percent of them are illiterate.

The law stipulates that people are not allowed to leave their hometowns at will, so their world is only that county or simply a township and a town, and the outside world is completely a myth for them.

In a closed and ignorant society, there are only two ways for people to receive information, one is the official rotation, and the county government will regularly release some imperial court policies, such as tax cuts, the emperor's wedding, the emperor's birthday, and amnesty to the world...... Etcetera.

You expect the court to expose itself to the ugliness of the family, that is absolutely impossible. And the second way to receive information is word of mouth, those monks who travel to the side, merchants who travel far away and small traders who walk the streets and alleys, including those who have the ability to travel south and north in the mouths of the villagers, the world in their mouths constitutes the appearance of the Great Qing Kingdom in the people's imagination.

It is also ridiculous to say that the word "going south and north" is neutral in Chinese vocabulary, which is an honorific title for those knowledgeable people in the folk.

In ancient times, if you didn't have any fame, and you weren't a big landlord, but you were lucky enough to go north and south, even if you only experienced five or six counties, you could be regarded as a capable person in your hometown, and even the small landlords in various villages and towns had to look down on you.

It can be seen that the degree of closure of the Chinese folk in the Middle Ages!

Because of the closure and ignorance, the imperial court can cover up those ugly things casually, because they know that even if the Beijing division is broken, it will be difficult for the news to be transmitted to the whole country, let alone to the people, and the common people are actually a group of blind people.

All the court has to do is to control the mouths of the scholars, as long as the scholars in the fields and the pampered gentlemen do not talk nonsense, as long as they still say that the court is good, then it is okay, so that the Qing Dynasty is still stable.

Rakshasa Ghost has cut off millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East by the negotiating table? Sorry, this has been cut off for 10 years, but in fact, the people of the Central Plains do not know at all, and they do not even have a concept of the Far East, let alone know what those territories are all about.

But if the Manchus officially started a war with the Rakshasa and mobilized the resources and forces of the whole country to fight a national war, then the news could not be concealed. Because once war breaks out, all provinces, provinces, counties, and villages must mobilize, conscript, collect grain, collect cowhides, and make iron tools, including the concentration of people.

The whole country has to move, resources are concentrated from every village upwards, and now the news cannot be hidden, and hundreds of millions of people across the country all know about this war, so the expectation of the final victory has become the inevitable desire of the people's hearts.

But can the Manchus win? The answer is very ambiguous, and the Manchus, who are already afraid of the West, really dare to fight with the Rakshasa ghosts? What if they lose? The face of the imperial court will be lost, and the foundation of the Manchu ruling will be loosened accordingly.

Sakamoto Ryoma broke it open and crumpled it and instilled this truth in Emperor Tongzhi little by little, and the already smart Zaichun understood everything when his brain turned casually, his fists clenched and a sense of humiliation surged into his heart, and his face turned extremely red.

The iron should be struck while it is hot, Sakamoto Ryoma knows that the time has come, this piece of pig iron has been burned soft, and the last wedge has finally fallen.

"Hey...... Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, it is still not distressing for the cub to sell his master's field! Things in the world can't escape a cause and effect, and the concubines of those official eunuchs who are controlled by the snitch, if they are not greedy to steal everyone's property, she will not attract foreign ghosts......"

"In the same way! If there is no corruption and smuggling group created by Yishan, then they will not be mixed with the Rakshasa ghosts, and they will not have the handle in the hands of the other party, so the court will not be so passive at the negotiation table!"

"After all, this country is not theirs! after all, it is not theirs......

"Haha, hahaha......" Zai Chun smiled, laughing very sadly, "Don't say it, I already understand what the mage said! I see, I see, this game of chess is really complicated enough, I thought I had made all the preparations for entering the game......

"But I never thought that people didn't even tell me the most basic rules! I'm just a fool, and I will be a puppet in the sky when I sit on the dragon chair in the future!"

"If it weren't for this trip to the Far East, if it weren't for the war in Vladivostok, would Yishan and Tepukhin their secrets be hidden forever?"

Ryoma Sakamoto nodded, "Yes, not only will it be hidden now, but there will not be a piece of ink in the history books in the future!"

There was a muffled bang, and Jae-chun slammed his fist on the table, "Okay......! I can imagine that if I didn't know all this, I would be stupid to sit on the dragon chair and pro-government, and see that they are all loyal ministers, and I would like to reuse them......"

"Hahaha...... But they don't know how to laugh at me, fooling me to run back and forth on the wall, and infatuating me for eternity, and they will benefit from it! This is my courtier......?

Jae-chun laughed and cried like a madman, "It's all a drama! It's all a famous character!" In the hall, he knelt down three times and bowed, shouting long live in his mouth, and said loyally and loyally...... Why are they all so similar? All of them are famous characters from Sijiu City! A bunch of stinky actors ......."

Grief and indignation, he grabbed Sakamoto Ryoma's hand and whispered, "Master teach me......!" As long as I am in power, the Lama Temple in Beijing will be yours! I will make you a national teacher, and I just ask you to help me!"

"I'm really overwhelmed now, I really don't know what to do!"

A burst of sadness welled up in Sakamoto Ryoma's heart, this is also the emperor? This is the Son of Heaven in the eyes of the people? In fact, he is just a poor man, how can so many people in all dynasties have to rob such a drudgery? Stupid!

"Your Majesty doesn't say that I will also give advice to Your Majesty! I have been abolished by the Prime Minister outside the power system, although I can still stay by the Prime Minister's side to participate in politics, but everyone knows that I have no hope of being knighted in this life, this is the punishment of the Prime Minister for me......"

"I can pardon you! After I became the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, I can reuse you! If the master is still vulgar, he will be an important minister in the court, and a prominent lord among the nobles! If you don't want to be vulgar, you can choose from the Jingshi Dojo! I will support you......"

"That's it, that's it, even if I owe Your Majesty this karma! Who let you and me have a fate, I'll help you get on the horse!"

Sakamoto Ryoma leaned in front of Jae-chun and whispered, "I'll send your majesty a word first, you can understand him well these days!"

"Be pragmatic and not pragmatic! Ask for power and not fame! Be earnest ......"
