This is the most difficult time when an organization is in decline.

You don't know if your colleagues will sell you with an idea, if one of the lucky ones relies on selling themselves to the stage to accept the prize, and you don't know if you will be counted as a vote by others to sell.

Loyalty to the organization is one thing, but the power of example is endless, after the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Gongzong was captured, no one knew whether it was true or false, of course, a 5-year-old child, but in that case, the Confucian students of the Great Song Dynasty who had a reason to surrender, except for Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, did not take refuge one after another?

At that time, Kublai Khan and his brothers competed for the throne, and the Mongolian army under his command was rotten, and the main force fighting was completely the Han army, which defeated the nomads on the Mongolian steppe.

This is the most ridiculous thing, the fundamental reason is that the Confucian scholars at that time, as the masters of the country, wantonly plundered, and did not care about the fate of the Great Song Dynasty after they stepped down, and forcibly turned a peerless country into an existence that could not exert its strength and could only be delivered to the enemy.

Of course, the most important thing is that the guys who now occupy the imperial capital are all a group of Chinese, although the news of the imperial capital, after reaching Guangdong, has basically become the seventh and eighth hand news.

But what the Chinese like the most is to analyze the real news in countless fake news, and those who can't do this have already hung up.

There was once a general of the Three Kingdoms Deng Ai, after he destroyed the famous Liu Bei's Shu Kingdom, he still wanted to do something, and he sent him an edict, but the content was terrifying, "...... The soldiers do not overtime, the war does not end, the clouds sweep and settle Bashu. Although Bai Qi broke the strong Chu, Han Xin Kejin Zhao, Wu Han Fowl Ziyang, Yafu destroyed the Seven Kingdoms, and the merit was beautiful, and it was not enough to compare the Xun ......"

It seems that it is all beautiful words, and there is no problem with the ignorant Xiaobai in the later generations, but it seems to those who know how to do it, but Bai Qi is cold in the end, Han Xin died in the hands of a woman, it is really chilling, Zhou Yafu died, only one Wu Han was laid off early, and it was okay.

Sima Zhao used such obvious words to tell Deng Ai, you are fast, you are almost cold, Aiqing, this is an IQ test question, if you can't do it, you will die.

At this time, smart people already know how to deal with it, in fact, at that time, as long as people who have read a little bit of books see these murderous examples, it is like praising people, you are like Zhao Gao, Cai Lun, Wei Zhongxian, you see that the person you listen to beats you no.

Voiceover, this kind of extremely high technology in terms of political consciousness is the key to the death of many technocrats with insufficient emotional intelligence.

For people who know this well, what they said is actually very simple, although they are thousands of miles apart, it seems that the imperial capital intends to encroach and annex and deal with it slowly, which is also very strange.

What Ye Guotai couldn't understand was that in fact, when they had no confidence in the ruling power of the son, the elders used the most stupid method to build the railway, and only rule and influence the territory within the communication line around the railway line.

Ordinary people, who lack the sensitivity of the ruling class, are not good at dividing and managing delicate local affairs, and lack a reliable team, are the easiest to break through with skill.

Although Ye Guotai is uncomfortable, it is not that he is uncomfortable, everyone is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Bao Gonggong has no interest in asking for something, asking for promises, etc., and promises are used to violate, but he is more interested in all kinds of entertainment, as well as where there are antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops.

At this time, it is the end of the Ming Dynasty that has not been destroyed by later generations, what Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, there are still a large number of works circulating, not to mention anything else, when Tang Bohu was alive, no one even sent calligraphy and paintings, there are too many literati in Jiangnan, people are using money to buy high-ranking officials' calligraphy and paintings as a pen fee to please people, where will appreciate what art.

That is, in the era of big waves and sands, these really powerful people really show their power.

Father-in-law Bao is more concerned about the production of Guangdong.

China is a fortunate country, at least for a long period of time.

Why do I say lucky, because many things have nothing to do with the personal efforts of Chinese, such as property.

The prestigious silk, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties, brought a steady stream of silver to China, is a best-selling product in foreign trade, if the domestication of silkworm species is the result of the efforts of the Chinese, then the silkworm this creature produced in China, can only be said to be lucky, and then porcelain played the role of a leading trade commodity, in the Song and Ming dynasties still played the role of the world's bestseller, continued to absorb a huge amount of silver for China, resulting in China, a country with very little silver, in the Ming Dynasty can actually implement currency silver, Under the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, techniques such as mulberry planting and silkworm cultivation had already spread all over the world, and porcelain firing technology was no longer exclusive to China, but tea, a plant that was very demanding on the climate, allowed China to continue to monopolize the best-selling beverage trade.

How can you say that you are not lucky!

It's a pity that such a heaven-sent country has fallen to the kind of big intellectuals who were bullied at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they themselves felt that they were inferior races, and their culture was inferior culture, and they made a sound of mixing with whites to improve the race, abolishing Chinese characters, and introducing pinyin.

It's like the son of the richest man who inherited the family business, should have completed a few small goals and continued to grow, but he was sitting on huge resources and finally went bankrupt, which is simply extremely bad.

It's time for the Ming Dynasty to perish.

His problem was that he had gathered the world's largest stock of silver and the largest wealthy merchant under his rule, but he just couldn't mobilize the silver.

Not only that, but these silvers, the power represented by capital, also gathered together and became an anti-system force, interfering with normal administration, and finally the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the big family represented by the Donglin Party, the big merchant class, had to bear half of the responsibility.

The elders' solution to this, on the one hand, is to strike at them, destroy the Confucianism, the Donglin Party, and the Alliance of Wealthy Businessmen, and at the same time use some small favors such as treasury bonds to cheat out the money in their hands, as for the tricks, the Federal Reserve of later generations is an example close to perfection, if financial products can't be slaughtered pigs, are they still real financiers.

Of course, on the other hand, the cultivation of emerging forces is really fatal, why do commoners, people who have a little bit of food and clothing, hurry up and send their children to private schools when they have some money? Haven't you seen the huge payoff? Directly from a commoner to a scholar class leap? If this cycle is broken, then provide a more rewarding way for everyone.

Everyone knows that this era does exist, and the poor boy has developed once, so the focus is on how to make these emerging nobles unite around the elders and appear as their basic plate.

If there is anything advanced in my Qing Dynasty, it is nothing more than the centigold system.

At the beginning of the implementation of the donation, because it was agreed that the provinces that used troops should be controlled by the local governors themselves, and the provincial gold system was "independent", so that later generations called the tax system unenforceable, and became the economic basis for the local governors to be proficient.

Of course, there is terrible corruption, first of all, although the nominal 1% tax is very small, but you can't stand the many passes, dozens of passes in a row, the cost doubles in minutes, and at the same time, for the valuation authority, in the hands of the tax collectors, they have the "alcohol test" of economic knowledge, saying that your things are worth a dollar, or worth 10,000 yuan, are their mouths, so it is very simple to make money from it.

This is almost more excessive than the high-speed fee in later generations, the high-speed fee is still clearly marked, and the establishment of the high-speed itself has improved efficiency, so that the fruit that can only be rotten into black food can be transported into the city, and it is not easy to pay the high-speed fee, so you can take a detour.

However, the centijin system has created a miracle or chain of interests: for the governors, the extermination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is no longer their move to deal with the envoys, but the expansion of their territory, the increase of taxes, and even the tax cards below, to the strong men who eat these cents of gold, all of them have become supporters of the Chiguoguo system.

For my Qing governors, this is from, the court asked me to do it, became, I want to do it!

Of course, the evil consequences are also obvious, the localities are independent, the collection of centigold, the central government of the Qing court did not formulate a unified tax system, by the provinces set their own tax rules, arbitrarily collected, except for a certain amount of revenue to serve the central government, a large part of the income by the local authorities freely disposed of, showing the feudal local separatism, the local income of the centi, not listed as official income, a large part of which by the local officials fake public enrichment and private interests, disguised fullness.

However, I can establish this centigold system in the Qing Dynasty, correspondingly, the governors can still use at least half of the centigold income to raise soldiers, and the other half will be taken away, if it is in my Daming, this money may not be collected, and even if the centigold is collected, it is not impossible that a penny cannot reach the above hands.

Bao Gonggong didn't do anything, it was nothing more than the regular practice of foreign devils in China in later generations, and it was just order procurement.

These specific numbers are naturally not under the concern of Grandpa Bao, he is just doing things by the way, of course, selling simple and convenient machines is also one of their purposes, but in order not to appear too eager, Grandpa Bao is here to take the lead.

Guangzhou's business atmosphere is the strongest in China in this era, or in line with international standards, the business here is not the most developed in China, but it is the most active, and perennial contact with foreign devils, many businessmen are aware of some European situations, although Europeans in this era are also down, but for overseas interest, Guangdong is still good.

Similarly, compared with Zhejiang and Jiangsu, Guangdong's acceptance of Gonghe Tongbao is also very strong.

As a store of value, and the coinage is beautifully minted, it is immediately put into circulation.

The common people use money, but the government collects taxes but collects silver, and when the people pay taxes, they need to exchange the money for silver. This has created a general market that supports a large number of money estates.

But the loss of silver, as well as various expenses, are basically counted on the heads of the common people in the end.

However, the proposal to sell arms to the Guangdong side is still puzzling.

Guangdong has always had a very serious maritime crisis, whether it is piracy or Westerners.

In fact, it was ten years ago, when Ye Guotai had not yet arrived in Guangdong to take office.

At that time, the Oriental trade was in the hands of the Dutch, the coachmen of the sea, and Taiwan was still a colony of the Dutch, and had not yet been taken by Zheng Zhilong.

After being rejected by the Portuguese governor in Macau, Weddell decided to set off for Canton. Arrived at the Humen Yaniang shoes moored, and the Ming army stationed at the Humen Fort fired a warning shot. Weddell immediately ordered the St. George's trade flag to be torn down, the British king's military flag was raised, and then he immediately commanded the fleet to bombard the Humen Battery. After capturing the fort, the British tore down the Ming flag, hung the British flag, and dismantled thirty-five cannons, which were carried to the ship as trophies.

What happened after that was unexpected, according to the general logic, you beat people's guns, captured people's batteries, and dismantled people's cannons, and basically this business is yellow. But the British were not, the Portuguese made peace in the middle, they returned the cannons to the local government of Guangzhou, and then sent two people to Guangzhou to ask for trade.

However, their ship ignored the warning of the Guangzhou government, all the way into the river of Guangzhou, this is a warship carrying heavy weapons, and along the way looted Chinese fishing boats, merchant ships, seized the materials and planned to go to Guangzhou to sell, all kinds of acts aroused the anger of the Guangzhou government, sent ships to drive away the British warships, at that time the Ming Dynasty's ship technology and the West is not much different, the Ming army's firearms and equipment level is also higher than the Qing army, the rockets and artillery fired so that the British had to withdraw from the Guangzhou river.

This is the true face of the "emissaries" sent by the English king himself in this era, and the natives of Africa and India have completely spoiled them.

Especially in the future, the relationship between these Europeans is uncertain, their logic is very simple, I am white, I am noble, I robbed you, and then I sold you what I robbed, and if you don't buy it, you are destroying free trade.

The elders had no psychological obstacle to arming the Cantonese, and in their opinion, no matter who ruled a piece of land, as long as their own train connected it, then the place would fall into their basket like a ripe apple.

In later generations of China, it took not much to travel from the imperial capital to Guangzhou, and the time was only half a day to arrive, that is, whether it was any government decree or materials, it could be reached instantly.
