Chapter 407 Being a prime minister or president is not as good as the president—1
These days, the public opinion that has been haunting the Liangzhou system has made Suning a little uneasy.
The power of the common people is great and powerful, but it is not necessarily reasonable, rational and scientific. Therefore, guiding them in public opinion has always been one of Suning's most important jobs, but I didn't expect that someone would play under their noses, make up small means in public opinion, and use all kinds of rumors to start clamoring for the claim that they would ascend the throne and become emperor.
Although those scholars who have been loyal to the Han Dynasty have quietly fled to the Kanto region in the past few months, and even in that process, Suning also relieved them in World War II, so that they can reach the side of those they want to take refuge in as safely as possible, I believe that Cao Cao, in this process, has been helped by many people, especially the guy named Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who has been secretly fighting against the decision-making level almost throughout his career in Liangzhou.
Of course, it is better for such a person to let him go as soon as possible, not to mention letting him go to his side, which is more conducive to ensuring the history of the struggle of the Kanto heroes and conforming to the original historical trajectory, which is actually a very important thing for Suning, because it can no longer tolerate more historical changes.
Although the area controlled by the Yangzhou system is very large, it has been in the homeland controlled by the Chinese civilization since the partition of the Zhou Dynasty, and he only has Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Guanzhong region.
And 2/3 of the land has just been occupied, and the local law and order situation has not yet been restored, and it is almost impossible for them to put into orderly production in a short time, and even more unfortunately, the number of troops he garrisoned in this direction is far lower than that of the Western Front, so he can't allow uncontrollable factors to appear within his control, let alone allow those princes in Kwantung to take advantage of this opportunity to form too deadly threats to themselves, which naturally includes drastically changing history. Because he knows that it is actually very easy to do something with the help of the tide of history. And with his current strength, all he can do is be a standard historical opportunist. However, even the old profession of the traverser is now a little difficult for him. If the defense is still overstretched, if he wants to attack, he will have to look for a golden opportunity, that is, he will miss most of the great opportunities in the Kanto region, and will only be able to play to his prophetic advantage on a few key points.
It is undeniable that his attainments at this point are still barely qualified, and it is even more undeniable that another advantage that most opportunities cannot be grasped is that even he himself can not easily change the melee history of the Kwantung princes, but this also brings another problem, once there is a problem with its future deployment in the Kwantung region, then it is always possible that it will be irreparable, because the existing forces can not build a backup plan for her There are not many conditions. After all, the relevant conditions of the preferred option have been more stringent.
In addition to the military threat, Suning's biggest concern is only internal chaos, and the just-concluded law and order war is his focus on this point, but unfortunately, the sudden appearance of strange public opinion has attracted his attention again.
Those who read the book were obviously old-fashioned intellectuals. That's why they feel that it's normal for a strange emperor to appear like a change of dynasty. But it is undeniable that before the Han Dynasty, there were so few unified dynasties that not many people were accustomed to changing emperors.
Of course, this statement is only among the common people, and the cities, although they are the main ingredient of the empire, are not the effective ingredient. Their will is not taken into account by those in power. I am afraid that only when the world is in turmoil will people stand on their side, but when the leaders of the peasant uprising really took power, they found that they had to do the same thing as the government to exploit the people, otherwise the small regime they had established would not be able to function.
This may be the limitation of the peasant class, at least a part of it or some form of it.
This is Suning's dislike of associating unpretentious farmers with the word limitation. On the contrary, he particularly emphasized the limitations of the intellectual aristocracy, as well as their serious herd mentality and serious formalism.
Therefore, when he learned that it was a group of old-school scholars who took the lead in making such remarks, he immediately began a large-scale public condemnation.
First of all, he is still accustomed to fighting back through the public opinion position he controls, and the major newspapers published his articles at the first time, the content of which is to criticize the so-called rumors, although he will still be the controller of the Liangzhou system in the future, and the person who acts as the emperor must still be the Miao descendant of Han Gaozu, at this point, Suning is not ready to make any changes, because he has prepared a set of systems, called constitutional monarchy.
After the signing of the Magna Carta, Britain slowly rose to become a world power, and at its peak its territory even exceeded that of the Mongol Empire, the king of land wars. Such achievements are undoubtedly enviable, but it is a pity that Suning's Liangzhou system still does not have a few decent outlets to the sea, so what he can do now is only higher development efficiency.
In ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, which was a kind of protection of the local natural economy, and also a kind of resistance to the plundering of the feudal aristocracy, but after the arrival of Suning, his administrative power has been established through educational institutions, especially schools. The camera went to every village, and the original concept of imperial power not going to the countryside has almost been completely shattered by him.
But it is undeniable that most of the people still maintain their opinions in favor of this process, because they also know that education and reading can change the fate of their children, and one day in the future, maybe their own sons will appear in the court of the Son of Heaven. Before Suning's arrival, this situation was almost unthinkable.
But if Suning wants to continue to detoxify the rights of the rural free economy on this basis, then he is likely to have a larger conflict with the local residents, unless he adopts the model of Liangzhou and gradually uses his high-yielding crops to transform the existing economic situation in the countryside.
Although this is an inevitable event in the future, it is undeniable that the first thing people should do after getting more food output is not to change the political situation in the countryside, but to feed their own stomachs first, and then discuss other issues.
However, the daughter believes that most people will only choose to bask in the sun instead of choosing to go to a better place to develop when they have their stomachs full, which is a major obstacle caused by their vision, and to some extent, it is also one of the important reasons that prevent him from reforming the basic power in the countryside, because once they have eaten enough, they will not even have the positive meaning of rebellion, so they are even less likely to endorse any so-called policies that try to change their existing lives.
In other words, if you really want to do something to the basic power in the countryside, then now should be the best time for him, because they are now in a situation where they are hungry, as long as they can eat enough, they are willing to accept any policy, and in this process, Suning can create a better political system for them, and further delegate the power that was originally controlled in the hands of those old people to the hands of middle-aged people who are willing to do practical things for the villagers.
If this deployment can be basically completed, then Suning will be able to have a more capable basic power team in the future, if it is really not possible, those students who have just been trained can also go there to be a clerk or something, but it is undeniable that the children need to see more advanced things when they are young, so that they can cultivate progressive ideas in their own consciousness.
This process is somehow much more important than the actual problems they solve for the country, so Suning is not prepared to waste this group of talents on these aspects, but the basic power in the countryside must be quickly improved.
One of the important considerations for this is that the countryside is the main ingredient of this civilization, and even if it is not an active ingredient, it must not be ignored, especially when those rumors are spreading, stabilizing the minds of this group of people is equivalent to stabilizing the political environment of most of the country.
So, when Suning wrote an article in the newspaper criticizing the rumors, another strategy was actively promoted, that is, a large number of high-yield crop seeds were transported to the Guanzhong area, and the crazy direct operation was carried out in the Bingzhou area, whether it was apple trees or pear trees, they became important saplings that local residents carry to climb the mountain every day. These fruits and vegetables are said to bring them huge economic benefits.
Although the local villagers don't fully believe this, it is undeniable that Suning has really created too much fame in the past few years, so that even if they don't believe that these saplings can bring them any benefits, they can't help but believe that Suning's ability to turn stones into gold must be that Liangzhou, which was once more desolate than them, has now become the richest one among the 13 states in the world, and there are countless businessmen every day. All corners of the Han Empire traveled thousands of miles to buy and sell the goods they wanted, and sold the souvenirs they brought with them at a price that was not too high.
In this regard, Suning's Liangzhou system has become the center of economic activity of the entire Han Dynasty, at least when the Kanto region is still in large-scale melee, and only here can be a peaceful reality, a peaceful land, from another point of view, that is, the degree of implementation of the immigration orders issued by Suning, this is even more indisputable, because there are a large number of war refugees, through various channels gathered within the territory of the Liangzhou system.
In the past two weeks, the number of people in the system has once again increased the maximum amount of food consumption in a short period of time, and it has also appeared again, which has shocked the management of astronomical figures, but fortunately, they are much more prepared than before, first of all, they can get sufficient food purchase through their cheap industrial products in various places in the world, especially the Chengdu Basin of the country of abundance, he did not affect the production of grain because of the war in the Kanto region. And the local emperor Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang was also very worried that Suning would lead his soldiers south to seize his territory. So when Suning launched an economic transaction with him, he didn't think too much about it, and he responded to the matter, because from a subjective point of view, he also hoped to establish a more peaceful friendship with Suning, and the light industrial products there could indeed greatly improve the living environment of local residents. As for some exquisite items, even he, a dignified state shepherd, was very fond of them, so the economic exchanges between the two sides have always been maintained in a relatively close form.
And to another extent, it is the general harvest of large-scale high-yield crops in Liangzhou, so that the war refugees from afar do not have to endure every cold winter, even if the territory controlled by the left of the Liangzhou system is much colder than their hometown, but the local people have begun to mine coal near Bingzhou for heating, at the same time, all kinds of cotton textiles have also begun to become popular in the market, with the widespread cultivation in the Western Regions, the production of cotton has soared rapidly, and its price is like diving. Soon some speculative businessmen lost a lot of money, but they benefited the local people a lot, especially Suning Bao'er, after the planting technology of this thing was popularized in the newspapers, including the Hezhong area and some nearby plains, some people began to plant cotton on a large scale, but the conditions of hydraulic spinning were more harsh, so that the related cotton textile industry did not become a new symbol of the Liangzhou system in large quantities.
However, Liu Ming's arrival in large numbers has also brought some problems, although public security issues have always been put in the first place by Suning, but there are still some people with ulterior motives, with the help of Liu Ming's identity to get in, and those who know which ones to spread the news are sent to send scholars, it is very likely that they entered the Liangzhou system in this way.
