Section 197, East Wind and West Wind

Officials and businessmen colluding to buy and sell arms are actually worried that this will lead to corruption! This is simply a joke in the world, if it is said from someone else's mouth, it will definitely be ridiculed by the two princes, true and false, but the person who spoke is Jiang Tian, they can't laugh anyway, Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian's fear of capital is not because of political propaganda, maybe in that time and space in their hometown, most people don't understand what is the real capital @ lord @ righteousness, but as long as people who care about politics know that capital @ this @ lord @ righteousness is neither a flood beast nor a spring and white snow, this is just a social form, It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it all depends on the will and ethics of the ruler, so who is the ruler? It is not a president who is voted for, but a capitalist who controls all aspects of society.

So Jiang Tian is what they are most worried about, when wealth accumulates to a certain extent, those who control wealth will inevitably seize more power, and those who hold power will also pursue more wealth, so the final result is the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the final form is like the United States, abandoning all human morality for the benefit of capitalists, when this country also has the most advanced technology and the most powerful army, it will definitely wag war everywhere to satisfy its bottomless desires. In the end, he will also drag himself down the abyss.

Will New China follow the old path of the United States? It should be said that it is very likely that China is an official-based society, whether it is Mencius's idea of valuing the people over the king, or later serving the people, it has not been able to completely reverse this reality, why? Because from ancient times to the present, the most authoritative people in Chinese society have always been officials, not businessmen and peasants! From the history of China, we can see that at the beginning, capital was also dependent on power like Europe, and power grew by capital transfusion, if there was no accident at this time, such as the situation of natural and man-made disasters at the same time at the end of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, capital and power will be separated from the masses and cause public resentment to boil, but only power is behind the black pot and not capital, as the capital that shares the fertilizer and exploits the toiling masses also hates power, they will not be grateful for the protection of power to let it develop and grow, and will only feel that their due profits are deprived by those in power, so it is clear that the capital of the exploiting class will launch a revolution as a victim to seize power when the world is in turmoil, which is for - capital @ capital @ lord @ righteousness @ revolution @ life!

Whether the revolution succeeds or not, a new page will be turned in history, and if you don't believe it, please refer to the history of the revolution in France. However, it is difficult to succeed in the power of capital in China, and the reason is that thanks to the short-lived empire of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system has given scholars all over the world a way to enter the country, which makes the originally seriously opposed classes have a chance to take turns to sit in the village, and at the same time, the people's hatred of power has been replaced by the aristocracy of the emperor's relatives to the corrupt officials represented by the scholars, and the official ideology of the Chinese nation has been solidified, and its significance is difficult to summarize in a word. However, it has absolutely created the fact that capital@capitalism@ism@righteousness cannot completely seize power in China. The kind of traitors who are popular in society to deceive the king and the people, as long as these traitors can be killed, they can return the world to a bright and prosperous drama, no matter how popular they are with the people, it is not the true embodiment of the social rights structure......

Since everyone can hold power through the imperial examination, will a businessman become an official necessarily lead to a revolution? Just like a poor peasant-born Xiucai once won the title of the gold list, but rarely spoke for the peasants, the officials who were born as businessmen but gained power, they will also stand in the perspective of power instead of exercising power as businessmen, at this time, because they know capital very well, but will intensify the squeeze of business competitors to ensure the stability of their own interests, so China's official-based thinking or power-based thinking, so that no matter how rich Chinese capitalists are, it is impossible to promote capital@capital@mastery@righteousness.

This is just one of the many reasons why China will not break out @本@主@righteousness@revolution@life@, so Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian didn't have to worry about the rise of capital, but they suddenly found that the most terrible thing was not the seizure of power by capital, but that if these relatives and nobles are mixed with capital, when the country spares no effort to fight the landlord and gentry class, and there is no force that can contain them, these people will be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes in the center, so that the era of infighting like the end of the Han Dynasty will return. Although it will definitely return to unity in the end, the time advantage that was leading will no longer exist. Zhang Tao's obstinate behavior made Jiang Tian have to break his ring, and he was so entangled when he was worried that the army was doing business and had nowhere to make money.

What is a person in the rivers and lakes who can't help himself, that's it. Even if there are more than three or four hundred years of knowledge, there is no ability to grasp the current situation under the premise of human nature. In China's history, there have been a few cattle people who have guided people's desires to achieve their desired ruling effect in a short period of time, and these people are all reformers, educators, politicians, and military strategists who have created historical ******...... From Zhou Gong to Taizu of New China, their great achievements are countless, but they are all helpless to fail in the face of people's desires @ hopes. As for the principle of preserving heaven and destroying people's desires proposed by Lixue, it is a black joke that has plagued China for more than 600 years.

The most successful in grasping the hearts and minds of the people should be Guanzi, the prime minister of the country who has turned profiteer, and has put forward his own principles for the country's governance standards in great detail, even to the extent that the welfare policy is too loose, which will cause the people to lose their self-motivation. However, there is a premise for the blessing of Qi people, that is, although Qi was hegemonic in the Spring and Autumn Period, it did not unify China, and when Qi people enjoyed high welfare and high income, they were actually exploiting the well-being of the people of other countries. In other words, exploitation still exists, but it is foreigners who are exploited, which is very similar to the United States today. The unified Qin Empire obviously no longer has this condition, the whole world is not the king's land, exploitation and exploitation are all their own people's fat and people's ointment, and in the end they can't escape the routine of the official forcing the people to rebel.

All the great unified dynasties in China were finally planted on this, and the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty was also related to the reluctance of the Southern civil officials to bear the burden of the mess in the north. Therefore, when Jiang Tian entered the decision-making circle of the Chinese Empire, he had been ostensibly striving to improve industrial productivity, but he knew better that the disconnection between excessive productivity and actual consumption power would only lead to an economic crisis in the end, and the best way to pass on the crisis was to plunder a colony like Europe, and ensure his own profits by squeezing foreigners. When Zhang Taochang was thinking about how to conquer the world, Jiang Tian was just calculating how to use China's military power to colonize economically, which can be said to be a fundamental conflict between the two people's governing philosophy.

From the beginning, Jiang Tian planned to use trade and war to extract wealth from all over the world to supply China. As for the great goal of emancipating all mankind, it can be said in political language: "We respect the right of other countries and peoples to freely choose their political system!" In fact, the object of deprivation is replaced by foreigners, but Zhang Tao has a dream of universal harmony in his heart, and he dreams that the red flag of revolution @ life can be planted all over the world. This dream is very good, but it is not realistic, once there is no exploited class, it means that the vast majority of classes are being exploited, think that the Warsaw Pact countries were because the national welfare was too high to make ends meet, there was no money for industrial upgrading, the financial fundamental collapse, and finally egalitarianism became equalization of poverty, even if there were no Americans to make it bad, sooner or later it would perish.

In the original time and space, Emperor Taizong keenly discovered this problem, and adjusted the economic policy in time, decisively gave up some benefits originally paid in full by the state, threw off these "burdens" and paid a certain market, and finally completed industrial upgrading and caught up with the world's advanced level, but in this era known as the "painful period of reform", the vast majority of Chinese who could not adapt to the changes of the times have become impoverished, and a few flexible people have taken the opportunity to soar into the sky, Not to mention some people who take the opportunity to use power for personal gain, the social problems brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor may also be unexpected by Taizong. Even if he proposed that the first rich lead the later to become rich, how many people can have such noble sentiments? In the end, it is up to the state apparatus to collect taxes before distributing benefits.

Even if he has not experienced the "three thousand years of unseen changes" of the Great Revolution @ life period, Jiang Tian has also experienced the vigorous reform and opening up, and it is clear that he expects personal ethics and morality to complete the progress of the country, and it is better to expect the sun to come out in the west, so the science advocated by Confucianism is regarded by him as a fig leaf for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the proletarian revolutionary spirit that Zhang Tao intends to replicate is regarded by him as the dream of an idealist. In this state where everyone is drunk and I am alone, he has become an alternative in the eyes of others, and he always seems to be worrying about some marginal problems. But in the eyes of the fake prince who is extremely smart and knows him very well, Jiang Tian can be regarded as knowing five hundred years before and five hundred years after five hundred years, as an elite figure among the nobles, Wu Yuan has long foreseen what the final result of the nobles' business will be, but his class background makes him have to choose to shut up.

The false prince, who was also struggling, didn't know whether to remind Jiang Tian or not, and his thoughts would push the nobles who were originally allies into the enemy's camp. He believed that Jiang Tian should be able to foresee such a situation, but he was not sure if this grandmaster, who had supreme wisdom in science, also had the persistence of a scientist in politics, and if so, no matter how much he reminded him, it would be useless, and he would also push himself into the abyss.

If it was only seen from a distance that the Chinese giant ship was swaying at the door, then this time Masayuki Hoshina personally experienced what a giant ship is, just because the ship is big, such as the arms and fingers with the precise Chinese Navy sailors, it has left an indelible impression on this Japanese real power figure. Unlike the awe-inspiring murderous spirit of the Marine Corps, the professional skills of naval sailors are not trained by killing, clean decks, neat ropes, and even the procedural movements of sailors when changing guards, all represent the professional level of a navy. Don't look at the fact that Masayuki Baoke is not a pirate, but it is still clear what his own sailors look like.

This made him sure of one thing, the reason why China did not care about him boarding the ship to check was because the Chinese were confident that such a level of navy could not be cultivated by the Japanese, and even if this kind of Zhenguo giant ship was given to Japan, the pirate sailors of the Tokugawa family could not sail the ship out to sea. Not to mention that the entire fleet has always been in a kind of army marching posture, sailing in close intervals. This ability to grasp the direction of the wind and control the speed of the ship can be called textbook perfection, no wonder even the Zheng family, who were once dominant, completely lost. If Japan wants to offend such a powerful neighbor, the consequences may not be as simple as the Tokugawa family's Shimono.

Unbeknownst to him, while resupplying at Sakai Port, the ship was already filled with other Japanese who shrewdly avoided the shogunate's eyes and hid in the lower cabins until after the ship had left the harbor, when they were taken to the secret reception room. And when Jiang Tian also appeared in this reception room, these Japanese immediately knelt down to the ground without hesitation to salute him.

Jiang Tian was not polite and just put one on the stool, and then looked at the Japanese kneeling down and said, "Get up, can you speak Chinese?" ”

After a few people got up, the one who led the way immediately bowed down again and replied, "Lord Qiyu, the villain knows some Chinese." ”

Jiang Tian nodded, and behind him stood the two true and false princes who acted as scholars: "In that case, you should know the intention of your master to send you, right?" ”

The man hurriedly and respectfully presented a letter: "My master has instructed that everything will be arranged by you, my lord." ”

Jiang Tian unhurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, in addition to some flattering words from Fujiwara, there was also an explanation of the identity of the joint merchants and how they would pay for the special goods. Jiang Tian was quite satisfied with this, after all, this kind of behavior of funding the opposition in other countries was to be kept secret, and he was also approached by a businessman who came with him, even if the Tokugawa shogunate found clues in the end, he could also pick up the Chinese court.

"In that case, you wait and wait with peace of mind, I will pass on the description of the goods to your family after the return flight."

It seems that the transaction of the people is really not worth mentioning in Jiang Tian's eyes, but it is just to make the emperor and his family feel that the Chinese court still values them, so Jiang Tian reluctantly stood in the foreground. In the final analysis, it is just a hundred imitation all-steel Japanese swords sold at a preferential price, and there are spare parts that can assemble 500 military hard crossbows.

The Japanese now clearly know how much more advanced the all-steel swords produced in China are than the ones they use. Not to mention the sharpness and other indicators, just say that the corrosion resistance and easy maintenance of this index, is not the squeamish Japanese sword, the use of alloy formula of the Chinese sword in the toughness, hardness of the case, the weight is reduced a lot, very suitable for the battlefield on the battlefield for a long time. As for the military crossbows, the indicators were even more astonishing to the Japanese, according to their own tests, this large steel crossbow could shoot through Japanese armor at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, while the archers did not need to train as long as archers, and the threat to the samurai was absolutely deadly, so that even the most determined undercuts hesitated to use such things.

The spies of the Tokugawa family could never have imagined that the import of parts and components in batches had given the Shogunate faction a certain ability to protect themselves, let alone how much money the officials of the Emperor's family had spent on these weapons. If it weren't for Zhang Tao's suspension of the plan to mess up Japan, it would have been a grenade that was sold this time. The people who joined Jiang Tian this time are real ninjas, they don't have exaggerated ninjutsu or superb martial arts, but they have a disguise that is difficult for any spy to see, walking on the streets of Japan they are any kind of people you can see, one moment they are businessmen, maybe the next moment they are a broken samurai. It is precisely because the loyalty of this kind of person is guaranteed that they can undertake such an important task, and besides, the Tokugawa family's ostensible unification of Japan is most affected by these people who were born for the war, and they can also be regarded as a community of interests to a certain extent.

The voyage of the fleet was not disturbed by these internal conditions, and it still sailed out of the Seto Inland Sea in a uniform manner and turned to the northeast, and the Japanese ships along the way were not far away, and the fleet, which temporarily entered the wide waters, began to move at full speed, saying that it was full speed, but in fact, the overall speed was not more than eight knots dragged by the merchant ships, but even so it surprised all the people on the ship, especially when they saw that the sails on the flagship were not all raised, and they knew that this was far from full speed in the true sense. Now those Japanese who know how to sail are not calm, they feel that their imported arms have always been limited to army weapons, why no one thinks of buying Chinese warships? If any Japanese power gets such a warship, not to mention the huge profits from going to sea for trade, it can make a lot of money even if it is used to intercept Japan's coastal routes and collect protection fees. Not to mention that Edo, the main city of the Tokugawa family, is located by the sea.

When the two parties raised this question at the same time, Jiang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. All along, his intention to flaunt his might everywhere on the Jinghai was to sell ships, but no one had ever mentioned such a demand, and the Europeans felt that China would not put its capital ships on the sales list, and the surrounding countries did not realize what a strong navy meant. It's not surprising that the Japanese were the first to officially express their intention to buy, who let them be born with the gene of aggression. It's just that after they made this request, Jiang Tian still had to hold the balance, so that we would not appear to be too eager, and we could not be too cold and make the other party retreat.

"Although this ship is a little expensive, after all, the price is still limited, but to operate such a huge warship, can your sailors be competent? It is inevitable that we still have to train, but the cost of accommodation, and training during this training period ......" Jiang Tian looked at the other party regretfully, with an expression that you will not accept these terms.

Regardless of the worries in his heart about this form of arms sales, there is absolutely no need to be soft when customers come to the door, and this is the quality of a qualified arms dealer.
