1999 Capital and Aristocracy

There is no distinction between a country and a nation, and he has no human feelings, and he does not understand what patriotism is or is not patriotic, nor does he understand what national righteousness is.

Capital is born to pursue profits, this is the first mission of its existence, and it cannot be suppressed by human beings at all.

Taking ancient China as an example, due to the highly centralized monarchy of the feudal dynasty and the mutual exploitation of the bureaucratic class, ancient Chinese capital has always been in a careful crack.

Wealth should not be exposed, and if it is exposed, it will be plundered by the king and the bureaucracy, and there will be no scum left for you to gnaw, so there is no capitalist breakthrough in ancient China.

History textbooks have explained that the germ of capitalism has appeared in the Jiangnan region in the Southern Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty in China, but due to various reasons, the germ has been stifled, which is very suffocating.

This argument is too one-sided, and it is completely taken for granted that the responsibility for failure is shifted to natural disasters, ** and war...... In fact, otherwise, the soil of China will not allow the germ of capitalism to thrive at all.

Because there are two sickles on the head of capital, the king, the nobles, and the bureaucracy, and the scythe back and forth, will capital dare to show its head? If you dare to show your head, you will be able to eat and wipe it clean.

In this social atmosphere, all capitalists can only bow to reality, hide their money, bury it in the soil, or buy it into fields, and then the family still selects outstanding talents to be officials and bind them to the ruling class.

In this context, the businessman makes a small investment to increase his assets, and the state can still turn a blind eye, because your little amount does not attract his attention, which means that all Chinese capitalists must carefully disguise themselves as small shrimps, so that the dragons and tigers in the court try not to move the idea of eating.

In this way, the apparent balance can be maintained, the country is in harmony, and the society is stable and harmonious!

However, once some ambitious capitalists attempt to make large-scale capital investment, such as the industrialization of wool spinning or silk fabrics in China, then this massive capital input and output will surely wake up the dozing dragons and tigers in the court.

Rich can rival the country, this is a sin! This can be killed!

The Age of Discovery, the Industrial Revolution in Europe, was not pushed up by astronomical capital? Not to mention the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, even if there was no sea ban, it would be difficult for Chinese capital to chase the waves and deep blue.

Why? Because in the early days of the business, when the capital has just gathered together, I am afraid that these capitals have already been targeted, or the old saying, it is a sin to be rich and rival the country, and this is the truth in oriental culture.

In fact, the Western world did not believe in capitalism from the beginning, and the rule of the kings and lords over their subjects in the Middle Ages was even more cruel and barbaric than that of China.

Countless excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and even the right of the first night of the women in the territory were occupied by the nobles, and the status of the merchants was very low, and even their lives could not be guaranteed.

It was a real feudal system, from the king down to the nobility at all levels, and society had become an iron cage made up of the church and the aristocracy.

At that time, in the far east, China, which was civilized and polite in selecting talents through the imperial examination, was the real beacon of the world.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, the beheaded Charles I was the core contradiction between the capitalists and the capitalists was the right to tax.

The king still thinks in the past, I am the monarch of the country, you are all my subjects, you have to accept as many taxes as I like, dare to bargain with me, cut off your head, dare to resist taxes and not pay, and then cut off your head.

Oops...... You still dare to confront me, I will send an army to cut off your head!

What? You untouchables have organized an army that is stronger than me? How is this possible?

"Broken...... They're going to cut off my head!"

In this way, because of the contradiction of taxation, Britain fought two civil wars, and finally the capitalist-controlled parliament saw that Charles I was really unable to educate, so he simply killed and shocked the later generations.

Charles I's head officially made the kings of Europe awe-inspiring, and they finally understood that the capitalists had become the most powerful force in society, and the royal power could only ally with them and could no longer plunder and plunder at will.

Xiao Letian remembers the example more than 200 years ago very clearly, and he knows even more that after 200 years of development, the capital power of Europe has completely controlled the entire society.

On the surface, the king is still the ruler of the country, but in fact, the king has long been a captive of capital, or the current European kings have also followed the trend and become a member of the capitalists.

Today's shareholder directory of the Suez Canal in Egypt proves Xiao Letian's judgment, the royal families and nobles of various countries have been transformed together, from the kind of medieval aristocracy that directly reached out to plunder the people and ate taxes in the past, and suddenly upgraded to a new aristocracy based on capital operation.

There can be wars between countries, but there is no conflict of capital between countries.

War between France and Prussia was imminent, but it did not prevent the shares of the capitalists of the two countries from co-existing in the Canal Company.

Now the Suez Canal has become a real multinational company, abandoning the capital of the state and the nation to participate in it, which is why such a miraculous river of money has been excavated.

Unless Xiao Letian has the strength to single-handedly challenge the entire European capital circle, you can only extort some oil and water from this canal company, but you will never be able to touch its core roots.

Enemies of the capitalists of the whole of Europe? Xiao Lotian is not so arrogant, if he really does that, ten heads will not be enough to cut off.

Listening to Xiao Letian's analysis, there was a dead silence in the cabin, and at that moment, everyone had a trace of enlightenment and a trace of sublimation!

Even the least educated Hyotaro had a hint of an epiphany at the moment, and he scratched his head and said, "Oops...... How can I feel that the whole world is different after listening to my father's words?"

"It's hard for me to describe the feeling...... It's like I used to see the world as a cow, but now when I look at it, the cow's skin is gone......"

"Right...... The cowhide was blown away by my father!"

"All that's left is the muscles, bones, and blood of the whole cow...... Organised and unobstructed......"

With a snap, Xiao Letian slapped him on the head, "You just blew the cowhide away, Lao Tzu, what I taught you is the truth!

"You have to remember, remember every word I say!" Xiao Lotian said solemnly.

"What will be the mainstream of the world in the future? It is the fall of kings one by one, the rising class struggle, you are all Chinese nobles, what kind of lifestyle you will choose in the future, you must think carefully!"

"Don't learn from the old-fashioned aristocrats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those feudal aristocrats who only know how to eat rent, houses, and slaves...... I want to learn from the British royal family!"

"That's a group of really smart people, after so many years of change, the British royal family has long gotten rid of its dependence on taxes and parliamentary appropriations, and the royal family itself is a big company, using the advantage of status to invest in capital, and they have made a lot of money!"

"When all the nobles don't need to knock out the bones of their own people, how can they be unpopular?"

"Why do I want to give you the Hidden Dragon Project? That's because I want you all to become new nobles who lead the times, and I hope you can all become moral models among the Chinese people!"

"If you have the ability, don't make money by bullying the people, only in this way, I, Xiao Letian, admire you!"
