Formerly known as Charleston, the city of Dongyuan is located on the west coast of the North Atlantic Ocean. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO is a city on the eastern side of the territory of the Republic of China, and it is six and a half hours to visit Crete, the westernmost island of the Republic of China. If you don't count the East African administrative regions, this large vacancy can be regarded as the biggest break in the territory of the Republic of China. It's just six and a half hours, which is far from enough to make the Minguo Dynasty lose the reality of the empire on which the sun never sets.

In the seaside villa in Dongyuan City, Wei Ze was listening to the latest report. Before the outbreak of the new round of economic crisis, the Republic of China had already predicted something. It's just that forecasters generally believe that France will break out first, but they didn't expect that the first domino turned out to be Russia.

The staff introduced the latest situation, "The Russians have blown the clouds and mountains of fog in the future, and all expectations do not rely on investigations, but only paper work. European investors had nowhere to go, so they rushed into the Russian market. After three consecutive years of far lower real incomes, the main force of investors finally couldn't bear it and began to sell......"

Listening to the textbook-like case, Wei Ze's expression was a little thoughtful, and this expression made the comrades who reported a little puzzled. The staff tried to ask, "Aren't you strange, Governor?" ”

Wei Ze replied blandly: "The economic crisis is once in a decade. It's been like this for hundreds of years, what's so strange about it again? ”

"But I think the Russians are going a lot like us." The staff couldn't help but ask.

"Our way?" Weese was a little puzzled.

The staff quickly explained: "Russia also relies on its vast territory and national policies to stimulate industrial production. I thought Russia would hold out. ”

These words left Weser speechless, and the staff's basis for the comparison between Russia and the Republic of China made Weeser unable to understand. Just when the unhappy feeling was rising rapidly, Wei Ze's mind changed, and the comrades who took on the responsibility of reporting the situation to Wei Ze should not be scum in everyone's eyes. The young man asked this, probably not out of pure brain heat.

"Tell me in detail what you think of the Republic of Korea and Russia." Weser decided to listen carefully.

Both countries started as agricultural countries, neither country has been industrialized for a long time, both countries have developed industries led by powerful people, and both countries have a large land and abundant resources......

These comparisons are listed one by one, and even Wei Ze has to admit that this staff member is attentive. He asked, "Little comrade, you probably didn't come up with so many comparative categories alone. Can you tell me about the source of the idea? ”

"There are many courses in party schools and cadre schools that discuss the system, and one of them is the comparison of countries." The staff replied excitedly.

"You're the culmination?" Weser laughed.

"It's just that the more I compare, the more I feel that Russia is more similar to our Republic of China, and the works of Russian writers make me feel very much." When the staff member spoke about Russian literature, he immediately showed a heartfelt emotion.

Weeser could not understand this emotion, he had also read a lot of Russian literature, and he also admitted that Russian literature was indeed good. But these literary works, especially those of Russia before the Soviet Union, did not impress Weeser at all. It was the literature of Western Europe that Weeser liked very much.

"Little comrade, it seems to me that there has never been a stable yeoman peasant class in the history of Russia. The recent emancipation of the serfs did not really emancipate the serfs, but only allowed the so-called rural communes to arise. This is the essential difference between Russia and the Republic of China, the people of our Republic of China are first and foremost homesteaders, and in the process of the development of homesteaders, because of the limitations of private ownership of small means of production, agricultural joint production began to appear. The means of production are used for production, not for sustenance or moral standards. There is such a huge gap in the social base, I do not think that the Minguo Dynasty is essentially the same as the Russian Dynasty. After Wei Ze finished explaining, he wanted to end the discussion.

"But there are so many ......places in Russia that we do," the staff member instinctively tried to convince Weese.

Wei Ze waved his hand and forcibly terminated the conversation, which was already meaningless, "The surface needs to be seen, and the essence must be seen." ”

Seeing that the staff had no chance to convince Weese, he hastened to continue his report, "Russia adopted Stolypin's reform program and promulgated the decree "On Several Supplementary Provisions to the Existing Law on the Possession and Use of Land by the Peasants". Farmers are allowed to quit the village community. Each peasant was allowed to acquire the commune's share of the land as private property and was allowed to sell it. The land allocated by the village community to the retired farmers must be within a lot so that it can be used as an independent grange or an exclusive farm. The government lent money to wealthy farmers through farmers' banks to buy land and establish farms. ”

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Wei Ze's eyes. He then simply waved his hand and asked the staff member in charge of the report to put down the paper and end the report. Didn't say anything more about it. When the staff withdrew, Weeser picked up the part about reform and looked at it. At least from what is listed in the document, the aim of the new reform policy is to create a yeoman peasant class. The yeoman peasants created by this policy were not politically or economically beholden to the aristocracy, nor to the 'village community'.

The 'village community' is very similar to the clan in rural China, when the Chinese clan power is ox x, the clan elders can decide the life and death of the clan members by a meeting, and the clan members must rely on the clan power controlled by the landlord. The clan elders in Russia were the local nobles and landlords, who also wielded great power. The Russian peasantry also had great obedience to the 'village community'.

Back in this era, after reading a lot of first-hand information, Weeser understood what kind of virtue the Russian countryside was. The idyllic idyll of the yeoman farmer is backward enough, and the idyllic idyll of the 'clan village community' can probably only be described as a nightmare. Tolstoy in the front and Solzhenitsyn in the latter strongly believed that the 'village community' represented the conscience of Russia. This idea was the common view of 'Russian intellectuals' before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Having established these facts, Weeser finally understood that the collapse of the Soviet Union was no accident. Nightmares can be a conscience, and it is strange that the USSR does not collapse.

'Stolypin', Weeser looked at the words on the paper again. Because the prime minister was creating a new history in Russia, Weeser was seriously remembering the name of a Russian prime minister for the first time. Russia has a vast territory, and if Prime Minister Stolypin's reforms succeed, Russia's institutional differences with Western Europe will be greatly reduced. Will the socialist revolution in Russia succeed at that time? Weeser felt that Comrade Lenin might not be able to defeat such a powerful opposition.

The economic crisis that erupted from Russia greatly affected Europe, but it did not affect the decision of the Italian Marquis Grace to travel to the Republic of China with her two children. Italy is a poor country and does not have its own cruise ships to the Mindynasty. Fortunately, the UK is a powerhouse, and there is a luxury cruise to China every month. The route is to take the Mediterranean Sea and go straight to China through the Suez Canal. Tickets are nothing to Marquis Grace, but it's not easy to get tickets for this luxury cruise ship. The Marquis de Grace booked tickets in Italy in early July and got the news that there was no place. Grace, who did not give up, sent a telegram to the company's headquarters in England, and received the same reply.

However, when the economic crisis broke out, the British side immediately sent a telegram to Grace, telling her that there was now a vacancy. This made Grace, who was going to go to Africa first and then change ships from there, very happy. Two days after sailing, the ship had already entered the Red Sea. There are no poor people on this ship, and they have become accustomed to the environment on board for two days. Grace was finally able to let her two babies play with the other children. She sat down in a chair under the bouncy castle, took a Chinese travel brochure and read it, looking up at her child from time to time.

"The father of these two children is Chinese, right?" When Grace looked up at her baby, an old lady next to her asked.

"Yes." Grace replied, and then somehow felt a little weak.

"What a beautiful boy." The old lady praised. After finishing speaking, seeing Grace's somewhat alarmed expression, the old lady explained with a smile: "The two boys who played with your children are my grandsons. ”

Seeing the joy of the little ones jumping on the inflatable toy castle, Grace and the old lady became more and more enthusiastic as they talked. The old lady was British, and the old gentleman next to her was her husband, and both were going to China for the first time. Everyone talked about China for a while, and then talked about their respective countries. The old gentleman, a bank retiree, learned that Grace was actually a peer, and immediately opened the conversation. After talking about the recent bank shake, the old gentleman said with the smugness of knowing the inside story: "The British Empire may want to end the free trade system and start implementing the policy of 'imperial preferential system'. The Germans will no longer be able to take money out of our pockets. ”

The Imperial System of Preferences is not an idea that only now exists in Britain, nor is it an idea that has only been proposed by the British upper echelons until now. Grace had heard of this before. Imports from different regions under the British Empire were subject to reduced or exempt rates from each other; High tariffs were imposed on imports from outside the member states to prevent other powers from infiltrating the markets of the British Empire.

"Are you sure it's going to happen this time?" Grace asked the old gentleman.

The old gentleman looked a little surprised, "Little girl, have you really heard of this resolution?" ”

Grace nodded slightly. As soon as Britain's domestic economy fluctuates, the Imperial System of Preferences will be brought out. This is not an unusual thing in the banking industry at all. I didn't expect to be so underestimated, and Grace felt a little unhappy in her heart.

"Mom! Mom! Ship! What a big ship! Grace's eldest son suddenly stood on the bouncy castle and shouted.

Grace turned her head to see a behemoth not far away. Because the draft is just over eight meters, cruise ships of more than 30,000 tons can also pass through the Suez Canal. There is only one channel in the Red Sea, so the closer the two ships get closer, the more clearly they can see. The 30,000-ton cruise ship is already very large, and the volume of this freighter looks at least twice as large as the cruise ship. The huge cruise ship was just a dwarf at this point, and it was no wonder that Grace's son was shouting so loudly.

"This ship has to be 60,000 tons ......, right? Bigger than the Titanic! The old Englishman stared at the giant ship and muttered.

The Titanic was a giant cruise ship that had just been launched in the United Kingdom, regularly connecting the British island of Great Britain with North America. With a standard displacement of 46,000 tons, it caused a sensation throughout Europe as soon as it hit the water. Grace was not free at the time, so she went to the United Kingdom to see the grand occasion of the Titanic's launch.

Looking at the huge freighter, Grace thought not of the gorgeous Titanic in the picture, but of Wang Mingshan's son's fleet. Then it dawned on Grace.

In the past two years, the relationship between her and Wang Mingshan has become more and more tense. It started with Wang Mingshan's son taking Wang Mingshan's money and starting to operate shipping. Grace knows very well how much money she has earned from Wang Mingshan, and she also knows very well that she has no reason to control Wang Mingshan's money. According to European tradition, Grace still has to be grateful to Wang Mingshan.

At this point, Grace understood that she didn't want to be grateful at all. After the death of her previous marquis's husband, Grace was swept away by the marquis's house. Since then, Grace has had a great fear of relying on others. At this time, Grace discovers that she has money and status, but she is not satisfied with this.

Before she knew it, Grace was on her feet. The old gentleman next to him turned his head to look at Grace in confusion, and then shuddered. In an instant, Grace's feeling has completely changed, she was a high-society woman who looked a little upset. The current Grace's sense of pressure from the dominant class of high society suddenly exploded. Needless to say, just every gesture has the courage of the leader.

Grace didn't pay attention to the people around her at all, her brain and extremely high speed completed her thinking, and the result was, 'Wang Mingshan wants to marry her, and he has to have a big banquet, and Ming Media is marrying'! After making such a decision, Grace felt that the negative emotions that had plagued her for a long time were swept away, and the bright sky was high.
