Chapter 247: I Want to Be the Emperor
"Hahaha...... Is this what compassion says? Hong Tao really smiled from the bottom of his heart this time, and a sense of accomplishment arose! I finally didn't work in vain, and finally someone understood what these things I got were for, or the second generation of Jinhewan like compassion, which is more worthy of joy than letting the first generation understand, and the second generation represents the future.
"Hey, hey, hey...... He and his daughter-in-law talked to me when they came back to dinner, and they heard that many people were dissatisfied with you sneaking away in the boat, so they came to talk to me, wanting me to help you talk, and I couldn't hear this little bit of caution. Cixi was very proud, Mercy was his son, Weng Ya was his daughter-in-law, and the two of them were appreciated by Hong Tao just as he got himself.
"Oh! Then why didn't you speak for me? This time, Hong Tao was even more surprised, there was still this kind of drama, he really wanted to hear Cixi's inner confession.
"My own strength is not enough, and what I say is in vain. And they don't really want to oppose you, master, but they are a little afraid, they are afraid that you will leave them and go to your own hometown. "Compassion is really a wise and foolish person, he doesn't know where he learned the wisdom of life, his judgment is very good, he can often see the essence through the phenomenon, and he has a very tolerant character, but unfortunately the level of education is too low, otherwise Hong Tao will let him hold a higher position.
"Take these and read them slowly, ask if you don't understand, and say them directly if you have ideas, and you can use them in two days when you have a meeting. Now that Rong Weng Weng is gone, Carl, Bojiao and Medini are far overseas, Qi Zu and Wen Lao Er can only make things, and they can't play politics. Understand that there are fewer and fewer people, and the two of us are left to talk to those directors. "The performance of the Empress. Hong Tao agrees. Only then did he take out the draft on the establishment of the Jinhe Bay that he had been drafting for the past few years and had just been supplemented in the past few days. Let Cixi take a look first. Don't look at this slave-born lewd guy who can't recognize all the Chinese characters, but he is much better than the brains of the directors, neither conservative nor radical, and can look at things as fairly as possible.
Founding! That's right, Hong Tao wants to turn the Jinhe Company into the Jinhe Empire, and he wants to be the emperor!
Hasn't Hong Tao always hated being an emperor, why did he suddenly want to be again? Could it be that he can't escape the circle of human nature that is the emperor? The answer is no, the emperor Hong Tao wants to be is not the same thing as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Or it is not the same as the current emperor of Europe, to be precise, he wants to try the model of constitutional monarchy in Jinhewan. After exploring for more than ten years, Hong Tao did not find a system suitable for the development of Jinhewan, so he reconstructed a new system, but he did not have the ability, so he had to use his best method, that is, plagiarism! Plagiarize one or several from the many ready-made models of later generations, mix them in their own way, and then use them in the Jinhewan system.
After more than 10 years of rapid development, the current system has begun to be chaotic. At the beginning of its establishment, it was only a corporatized ethnic group, and the distribution method was collective and supply-oriented. There is no private property under this system. Any Jinhewan person except for his family is his own, and everything belongs to the company. Hong Tao, the chairman, is the leader of the group. This method is a bit like a primitive society, and it can also be said to be a quasi-communist society, which is really a bit of a distribution according to need.
But there is a premise of this system, which is that there must be great material abundance, simply put, very rich, so rich that everyone is equally distributed, and it is better off than most people in other countries. At present, there are less than 10,000 slaves in Jinhe Bay, and through the predatory trade method, it is easy to achieve great material abundance, and it is not impossible for each family to send a warship. The problem is that this method is not suitable for large countries, once the population rises to a certain level, the supply of materials cannot be met, and the management cannot keep up, it will really become a big pot of rice, and the production efficiency will be very low.
There is no sign of decline in Golden River Bay at the moment, but there are already signs. The port of Calamba in Po Jiao and the port of Cape Town in Marina are incompatible with the system of Golden River Bay, and in addition to the port of Malacca, the port of Penang, and Phuket, they will have to be autonomous sooner or later, and they must not all adopt the supply system like Golden River Bay. It's not that Hong Tao doesn't want to, but he can't do it, and he doesn't have the ability to get so many resources to share them equally.
If he wanted these places called colonies or overseas territories to develop, then Hong Tao had to let Jinhewan change it himself, and after there was a unified standard, the actual rulers of the various territories could govern according to the established rules. If there is not even a general rule, how should people play to be qualified, and how to play to be considered a regulation? So Golden River Bay has to change.
It's easy to change, but it's hard to change it. Hong Tao has conceived several ways, such as learning from the system of the Americans in later generations to implement a presidential federalism, learning from the French to implement a semi-presidential and semi-parliamentary republic, learning from the Second German Empire to engage in a dual monarchy, and learning from Britain to engage in a parliamentary monarchy...... After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out which one is more suitable for Jinhe Bay. This time I went around Europe, especially after having a deep discussion with Friedrich II, Hong Tao figured out some of these systems, and on the whole, the British parliamentary monarchy is more suitable for himself.
The American system is actually the most balanced, it is like a big spider web with a group of spiders lying on its stomach, and whoever wants to do something can't hide it from other spiders, and all kinds of checks and balances are almost played to the extreme. But this kind of system really can't be played! It's too complicated, it's too cumbersome, it's too inefficient. Under this system, it is not easy for a manager to do a good job, and he will be audited layer by layer like a censor thief; If you want to do bad things, it's even harder to climb to the sky, and there is basically no hope. Is this system good? Hong Tao thinks that it is good to put it in the United States, but it is a bit too strict in Jinhe Bay, which will hinder the development of Jinhe Bay. Compared with the history of the United States, Jinhe Bay is still too short and too short, it is impossible to reach that height all at once, and it needs to be taken slowly step by step.
The French republican system is even more chaotic, so chaotic that the flood cannot find its practical meaning; The dual monarchy of the Germans is essentially no different from the feudal monarchy of the Great Song Dynasty, except that it adds a little trouble to the rights of the monarch.
Only the British parliamentary monarchy is more in line with Hong Tao's future plan for Jinhe Bay, Hong Tao doesn't want his children to fight each other for power in the future, and he doesn't want the country to be decided by someone. So he is willing to be a nominal king, and finally led everyone forward in vain, and this honorary title and treatment can be regarded as compensation. As for how everyone will govern the country in the future, that's everyone's own business, don't expect your descendants to be the leading big brother again. They can help the country, but they must not actually mix it with the management of the country.
Another advantage of this system is that it is very conducive to external expansion. Any colony or overseas territory can become the Emperor's territory at any time, as long as they nominally recognize themselves as the Emperor. This is the same as the Holy Roman Empire of Friedrich II, everyone recognizes a father, but the attitude towards the father can be different, and those who are willing to be more filial will work more and obey their words; Dad who doesn't like to be managed by his father doesn't worry about that, as long as you still call me dad and don't get angry with me every day, then do whatever you like; If there is really an unfilial son, then he, the father, will call his son and godson back and educate him together; If all sons are not filial, then don't be your own father, forget it if you die, it's too much of a failure!
The general direction is set, but it is not easy to really execute, which is the difference between mouth cannon and execution. Anyone can be reasonable, but there are few who can do it. If you want Jinhewan to enter the national orbit and return to the constitutional monarchy, it is equivalent to completing the thousand-year-old course of human society in one step, can it be easy? No matter how easy it is, Hong Tao plans to try hard, for a person who has crossed over, or a person who has crossed three times, it is necessary to play the highest difficulty, and there is no difficulty to create difficulties.
The first thing to do is to convince the board of directors to agree to turn Golden River Bay into the Golden River Empire, if they don't agree, what system, planning, and future are all in vain. You can't force the board of directors to agree with your views, let alone impose your ideas on them by force. In that case, I have been working for nothing for more than ten years, and I have gained nothing, so it is better to be the emperor directly from the beginning, and set up a Mao Xian. Tens of thousands of slaves, hundreds of warships, snatched from Asia to Europe, from Europe to the Americas, the Mongol Empire is raging on land, and they are not idle on the sea.
"Be an emperor! Xiao Tao, haven't you always been reluctant to be the emperor......, Lao Huang and your father-in-law just said a few words, if you don't want to listen to it, just say back, they will definitely not be able to talk about you! This time it was Hong Tao's turn to have something to say, he really couldn't keep up with Hong Tao's thoughts, and he instinctively thought that Hong Tao was annoyed by the people on the board of directors.
"Grandpa, don't worry, you can look down slowly." Hong Tao understands Chen Mingen's worries very well, he spent more than ten years to finally eliminate the emperor mountain from the hearts of Jinhewan people, and now he has suddenly moved back, most people will not understand.
"I understand, sir, your emperor is fake, it doesn't matter what it is, it's just an ornament!" It was not the Tan family, nor the Li people, nor other ethnic minorities who felt the deepest feelings about the imperial power, but Kong Pei, the representative of the Han people in the north, who had lived under the imperial power for generations.
