readx;?“ Your Majesty, Mr. Engels is already waiting for you in the audience hall...... Do you want to see you right away? Wearing a kimono, Sanako Chiba whispered in Emperor Zhu's ear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info,ybdu,Will be taking a nap tomorrow from the sleep of the big tomorrow. The emperor still had a telegram in his hand, which Zhang Zhidong had given him from the Hua sofa. The telegram gave him a detailed account of the recent situation in Poland. And boldly made a prediction: Poland could well become the first republic in the history of mankind to implement a socialist system! In addition, there was the demand of the Polish Provisional Government to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire and conclude a secret treaty against Russia.

Zhu Jishi, who was awakened by the voice of Sanako Chiba, sat up from the recliner at once. Rubbing his face vigorously. Zhu Jishi did not sleep well all night yesterday, chatting with Napoleon III, thousands of miles away, on the radio in Fort Maria...... Discuss the armistice negotiations of the North American War, as well as the Russian crown prince's visit to England for medical treatment, and the marriage of the French crown prince. Of course, Zhu Jishi didn't want Crown Prince Nicholas to die young, he was the future Nicholas II (according to the custom of European monarchs), what an unlucky name! However, the Queen of England personally invited the Russian crown prince to treat his illness, which was really not a good thing for the Ming and France.

What bothered Emperor Zhu even more was that the Crown Princess of Württemberg (the Tsar's sister) offered to act as a matchmaker for Alexander II's daughter and the French Crown Prince during her visit to Paris, hoping to unite the Romanov and Bonaparte dynasties. Does this mean that France and Russia may become friends after breaking through their previous suspicions? So what should the Ming Empire do?

In addition, there is the possibility of a truce in North America. News came from Europe that Prince Albert of the United Kingdom had left for Canada. Prepare to personally broker an armistice. And the British ambassador in Richmond also made recommendations to President Davis. It is hoped that the coalition will refrain from destroying industrial facilities and infrastructure in the Great Lakes region. lest the United States of America lose its ability to pay war reparations...... This is clearly in favor of the United States of America! It seems that Albert is ready to step in and play the angel. I don't know if I can successfully fool the Americans into the British?

In short, there are many and troublesome things, all of which are not good, and they will make the overall situation take a turn for the worse! So that Emperor Zhu couldn't sleep peacefully all night, until it was dawn in Maria. Clementina fell asleep in her arms. After sleeping for less than two hours, he held a pre-imperial meeting with Zuo Zongtang, Luo Zenan, Guo Songtao, Miao Peilin, and Han Si to discuss countermeasures. However, I haven't come up with any good solutions, and the current international situation is delicate! The Ming Empire was already one of the three major powers in the world. When it comes to potential, I'm afraid it's still above Britain and France!

Under such an overall situation, the relationship between Daming and France has become very delicate. And it does not seem that there is no irreconcilable between France and Russia...... If France co-opts Russia, then it will be easy to overwhelm Britain and become world hegemon, and China will be the number one target of French suppression!

For Zhu Jishi, such a situation could not be worse. Not because he had an extraordinary relationship with two French women, but because the Kingdom of California was not yet capable of protecting itself. Therefore, preventing the Franco-Russian alliance is the top priority of Ming diplomacy at present. However, where do you start?

After taking a short nap, Zhu Jishi had already recovered a little of his spirit. He said to Sanako, "Of course, I'll see you soon!" He paused, as if speaking to himself. Perhaps Engels is the key to breaking this situation! Hurry up and ask him to come over. Zanako's expression was also a little worried, and he bowed to Zhu Jishi and then retreated.

She was worried about the situation in Patagonia, where Argentina, which had little interest in the desert island of Tierra del Fuego, now remembered that they had sovereignty over Tierra del Fuego, which had been fighting a civil war until 1862, and was therefore powerless to interfere with Japanese colonization of the southern Patagonian plateau and Tierra del Fuego. Now Argentina has united Chile and jointly claimed Tierra del Fuego. It also instigated Indian tribes in the Patagonian plateau to invade the Japanese colonial strongholds, and I don't know how many times there have been large and small conflicts. Originally, Tokugawa Akiko instructed Sanako Chiba to ask Zhu Jishi to ask Napoleon III and Mathilde I to come out and put pressure on Argentina to force the other side to make concessions. But who would have thought that the originally close Mingfa friendship also showed some signs of loosening at this juncture......

The worried Chiba Sanako quickly led Engels to Emperor Zhu's office, and Zhu Jishi smiled and waved at him: "Friedrich, sit down." He smiled and asked, "Come to me today, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Jason, this is my resignation, and I hope you will approve it." Engels very solemnly took out a handwritten letter of resignation from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Jishi with both hands.

"Resignation?" Zhu Jishi was a little puzzled, "Why?" ”

It can't be because the salary is low, right? The salary of the general manager of the royal consortium plus the dividend at the end of the year has exceeded 350,000 silver dollars last year!

"For Poland." Engels sat down with a smile, "The provisional government of the Republic of Poland wants me to go and serve as their Minister of Economy. ”

"Minister of Economy of Poland?" Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Bakunin and his doctrine. "Friedrich, do the Poles really want to build socialism in a country that only farms?"

The second tutor of GCISM nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is a challenging job, and it suits me well. ”

"It's impossible." Zhu Jishi did not open his mouth to retain Engels, and began to ponder in his heart who could replace Engels. However, he admonished: "The reality of the DPRK is there, and the equal division of land will not help the development of the productive forces." Capitalist farms are more competitive than small-scale peasant economies, and even collective farms in the south and northeast now have a tendency to concentrate shares. ”

The collective farms promoted by Zhu Jishi are not the same thing as the agricultural collectivization and the contract system of joint production responsibility implemented by the GCD in later generations. The former was based on private ownership, and after completing the mission of collectivized expansion (the role of this semi-militarized organization in expanding settlement is still worth affirming), the farmstead acquired land ownership and the farmer was free to sell his shares. Therefore, the collective farms have gradually become joint-stock farms, not as a shortcut to socialism in the rural areas of the Ming Dynasty, but as a tool for capitalism to occupy the rural positions of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, after a few years of equal division of land in North Korea, there was also a division, and many farmers who had been given land went bankrupt again and had to sell their land to become tenants. I guess it's going to be the same in Poland, right? When Zhu Jishi said this, his brows were already wrinkled. Compared to the collective farms of the Ming Dynasty, land reform in North Korea failed faster! Because the former has more land and abundant natural resources, and everyone has guns, it is unlikely that they will be oppressed by local officials. The peasants of North Korea were given very little land, and the North Korean officials did not face a mob armed with a Bese Maiyang gun, not even a katana......

Engels shrugged and smiled: "That's why I have to quit my job and earn 100,000 pounds a year to go to Poland, which is the only way to help the Polish people." Except for me, they could no longer find a person who really understood capitalism, economics, but also management. ”

It's a bit of a self-sacrificing meaning, but it's true, Bakunin, these people, speeches, agitation, and painting pies are all first-class, but if you really want to manage a country's economy, you will definitely make the people miserable. And Engels has more than ten years of experience, which these people simply cannot compare.

"What are you going to do? Friedrich. Zhu Jishi asked with some curiosity.

Engels groaned: "I think my experience in the Ming Imperial Consortium will help me in my work in Poland. Poland's agriculture is supposed to be cooperative, and its industrialization can only be promoted by the government's financial resources, and of course by external ......" (To be continued. )
