Of course, Tian Xiuying didn't hear Xiao Xuan's words in her heart, and still had a worried face, Xiao Xuan could only persuade her like this in the end: "Don't worry, if you really encounter resistance that is difficult to overcome and solve, I will also correct the policy and make a mistake." Won't run to the dark or be stubborn on a dead end that doesn't work, Xiuying should also understand: I'm not that kind of person... ”

Hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Tian Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief, but she still planned to persuade: "The emperor may have a reason for doing this, but the concubine still thinks that such a major policy may be explained in the army first, and only implemented in the army, and it is not too late to gradually promote it when the world is consolidated." If so many major changes are implemented in a short period of time, they will definitely cause fierce confrontation in the whole world... ”

"Don't worry, I understand this... Although Xiao Xuan had other plans in his heart, he could only say so in the end.

Xiao Xuan spent most of the night in Tian Xiuying's temporary residence, and after compensating for the lingering debt for a long time, it seemed that Xiao Xuan on the bed seemed to be calm again, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, but there was no slight sound. Tian Xiuying, who has been somewhat familiar with Xiao Xuan for more than a year, understands that this is what Xiao Xuan is thinking about and calculating again. Thinking of the words of the day, Tian Xiuying's heart also felt some comfort, at least her advice was not in vain, Xiao Xuan seemed to be thinking about whether those radical declarations and policies would push the gentry of the whole world to the opposite side.

However, at this time, Xiao Xuan was thinking about a lot of questions, but he did not give up his previous plans. Xiao Xuan thought of the guerrillas in the eight provinces in the golden decade of the Republic of China and even related war histories that could be used as references. There is no doubt that the late Ming Dynasty of the Xiaoice River era was not much stronger than the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China in terms of per capita economic conditions, and even with a semi-modern financial system, it was the limit to be able to maintain a soldier-to-civilian ratio of about one percent of the troops that could fight a decent war. If this is the case, then it will simply not be possible to destroy the contingent that truly has revolutionary combat effectiveness and its ability to expand. Not to mention that in this era, there were no airplanes, radios, and limited telegraph networks that the Chiang regime had, and the "revolutionary war" was not much easier than in the era. If this is the case, then as long as you confirm that the new type of army of the volunteer battalion is inherently revolutionary, you do not need to be afraid of being the enemy of the whole world.

There are two problems that make Xiao Xuan still hesitate at this time: the disintegration of husband power is certainly beneficial to anti-feudalism, and it will also bring another benefit: the factory and health agents listen to the news, and there will be many conveniences in a place where the status of women is not too low. I am afraid that the customs of the people in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty were very different from those in Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this is an important reason. Of course, the hidden worries are also evident in modern times: people are creatures who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and women are no exception. What should I do if I am unwilling to have children in the face of more or less risks brought about by childbirth? What should I do if I dream of pursuing an ideal marriage and become an older leftover girl? Although even modern China has its backwardness, and not everywhere is similar to the atmosphere of the big cities, there are too many variables in ancient and modern times. It is not uncommon for a population to stagnate, as in France. In Xiao Xuan's mind, the seven or eight billion people in the modern world may seem a bit too much, which also brings a lot of contradictions and problems. However, in a fully industrialized world, two or three billion people will always need it, and it is necessary to send some backward nations whose historical and cultural accumulation is too poor. At this time, if the Ming Dynasty underwent a social change or a revolutionary reshuffle, even if it was much better than the Ming and Qing dynasties, I am afraid that it would have a population of more than 100 million, and the pressure of population reproduction was still not small. In an age when even basic health care and safety are far away, let alone painless childbirth, gender status is close to the level of even nineteenth-century France.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan dispelled many of his original thoughts, even if it was necessary to promote women's emancipation in some areas, he should not adopt radical policies in all places.

In addition, another difficult question relates to the question of how the peasants should be used in this social revolution. Before Xiao Xuan crossed over, he heard a saying that New China had the largest landlord class since ancient China--- and all peasants seemed to be like landlords, and from the perspective of development, this also seemed to bring many problems. More importantly, if Xiao Xuan intends to effectively modernize in a short period of time, then it is indispensable to smash the new society and education, industry and commerce. Even if there were a large number of overseas colonial interests, it would inevitably require the entire countryside to provide sufficient benefits. If universal civil rights or limited grassroots democracy are achieved at the grassroots level, Xiao Xuan wonders if it will affect the process of social modernization.

Moreover, from a historical point of view, modern Europe, Japan, and Tsarist Russia, all of which are in the process of transitioning from ancient civilizations to successful modern civilizations, will all experience an aristocratic era full of vitality and a certain good atmosphere brought about by pressure and competition within the ruling class.

If it was not necessary to mobilize the peasants in too many places to achieve victory, would there be no need to change the world in most parts of the country? Xiao Xuan seemed to remember that land reform in most parts of New China seemed to have been fully rolled out after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the war in the Soviet era, only a few base areas with fierce contradictions were mobilized to have the strength to win without making mistakes, and at a time when there was no threshold for the source of smokeless gunpowder and munitions, if it was only for the purpose of training the troops to win victory, no matter how harsh the source of troops was, there was no need to completely take the leftist road everywhere at all. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan's heart gradually opened up.

If you intend to make maximum progress in your lifetime, you will not be able to follow the path of free capital dominating the economic order, nor will you be too left at the grassroots level in the countryside, and some necessary costs seem to be inevitable. If this is the case, it seems clear: part of the example of eighteenth-century Russia, with military aristocracy, non-hereditary aristocracy, and social merit aristocracy to motivate the whole society to move forward, while at the same time creating a completely different ruling layer to achieve accumulation...

However, there seems to be another problem: in the more critical field of science and education, it seems that it may not be appropriate to rely on people who have performed very well on the battlefield? Newcomers in the field of science and education still seem to need to start their own business?

When a faint morning light passed through the curtains, many of the previous mysteries in Xiao Xuan's heart also seemed to have some clues.
