Chapter 1543: Life is Like a Dream

When the Royal Cruise ship Mathilde left the Jiangnan pier in Yingfu, it began to snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was not a fine snow like catkins, but a goose-feather snow flake, accompanied by grains of ice slag, which were picked up by the strong wind blowing from the northwest, and then smashed the porthole of the cruise ship, making a tinkling sound. However, the cabin was still warm as spring, and Zhu Jishi was just wearing a silk robe in the color of the emperor, watching the snow scene with his hands behind his back.

"Xiong'er, give an edict, let the people in the Imperial City Square disperse, such a cold ......"

Zhu Jishi looked at it for a while, and suddenly spoke.

Zhu Guoxiong, the son of the Ming Dynasty, was standing behind Zhu Jishi, he looked up and said with a smile: "Father, the edict has been prepared when the son leaves Ying, and it will be promulgated as long as it is in the Xue Yu study." ”

Snow is a step, and Zhu Jishi is neutral on the current petition protest organized by the Socialist Party - the Socialist Party does not oppose the royal family, nor does it oppose private property, but only speaks for the poor through peaceful petitions, which is different from the violent revolution of the Narodnaya Congress.

Moreover, Emperor Zhu also believed that the poor need to have a political spokesperson, otherwise the country's major policies will be controlled by the agents of the rich, and they will continue to favor the rich and ignore the demands of the poor. This will force the poor to the side of Narodnaya and take the path of social revolution.

“…… Well, well done. Zhu Jishi nodded, his successor's talent in handling internal affairs was far higher than his talent in diplomacy and military affairs. At present, the constitutional system of the Ming Empire was actually created by Zhu Jishi, and it took Zhu Guoxiong more than 30 years to improve step by step.

"Xiong'er, what do you think of the Socialist Party?" Zhu Jishi was silent for a moment. The conversation turned to the Socialist Party. He knew that historically, only GCD could get it. can be the final winner. The Ming socialist system has tenacious vitality in China!

"Father, the sons and daughters feel that this socialist party cannot be without, and they cannot allow it to become big and take power."

"Oh? Why is that? Zhu Jishi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked back at Zhu Guoxiong.

"Because the Socialist Party's advocacy of equalizing the rich and the poor and advocating social welfare is in fact making the poor get something for nothing. If they are allowed to control the parliament, form a responsible cabinet, and build a so-called welfare society by equalizing the wealth and the poor, the people will inevitably be lazy and unwilling to seek wealth, and then rely on the state for everything. And the country's finances are bound to be ruined by welfare. In everything, he put the people first, and then he was unable to maintain hegemony on land and sea, and he was no longer the leader of Greater China. In short, the national policy of the Socialist Party inevitably leads to the comfort of the people and the weakness of the state. But a poor and weak country is not enough to protect China and deter barbarians, how can the comfort of the people last long? Therefore, the policy of the Socialist Party is to abandon the basics and pursue the last, which may be beneficial to the people in the short term, but in the long run it will inevitably mislead the country and the people! ”

"Thorough!" Zhu Jishi spit out a two-word evaluation, he spent time in the European welfare state in later generations, and naturally knows what a high-welfare disease is. "That being the case. Xiong'er, why don't you eradicate the power of the Socialist Party? ”

"Because if the Socialists are eliminated, the country will be controlled by the plutocracy. It has become a tool for the chaebol to oppress the common people. The people will be confused by the National People's Congress sooner or later, and the rebellion in Russia in the past will be repeated! Moreover, if the chaebol controls the country, where will my Ming royal family put it? For the sake of my Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, we must make different opinions stir up in the court and parliament. Therefore, the Socialist Party must exist, and it must fight against the Youth Party and the Donglin Party supported by the chaebol. ”

"Different theories stir ......up each other," Zhu Jishi smiled, this is a traditional imperial technique, and there must be different views and factions in the court to contain each other, otherwise the emperor Lao Tzu will be hollowed out and turned into an ornament. Unexpectedly, Zhu Guoxiong used this method in parliamentary constitutionalism.

But if you think about it carefully, it is also the same reason, in the past, there was a competition between the two parties of Donglin and Youth in the parliament. The Donglin Party represented the landlords and scholars, and the Youth Party represented the bourgeoisie. But now the landlords and doctors have long since merged with the bourgeoisie, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. Therefore, the views of Donglin and the Youth Party are gradually getting closer. The Socialist Party, on the other hand, represents the working class and will not merge with the Donglin and Youth Parties in any case. And as long as this socialist party is there, Donglin, the Youth Second Party and their chaebols will not dare to regard the imperial power as transparent. For as soon as the emperor proclaims universal suffrage by decree of one person, one vote, the Socialist Party will immediately swell into a behemoth sufficient to form a responsible cabinet! At that time, the interests of the Donglin Party, the Youth Party, and the major chaebols of the Ming Dynasty will all be greatly damaged.

Moreover, the political influence of the Socialist Party comes from the middle and lower classes of labor, and only by relying on the support of the workers can the leaders of the Socialist Party enter and leave the parliament and the court and become well-known politicians, so that they have the capital to use political power for their own profit...... Therefore, as long as the Socialist Party does not take power, the Socialist politicians can only honestly represent the workers, and even if they receive the interests of the capitalists, they do not dare to openly sell the interests of the workers, otherwise they will lose the support of the workers, and they will be nothing.

"Xiong'er, if you can think like this, you can rest assured as a father." Zhu Jishi said, "But there is one thing to remember, my Ming Dynasty should not be a villain, just let the Donglin Party and the Youth Party block universal suffrage in the parliament." I, Huangming, still have to always care about the well-being of Xia Shuli. ”

"Erchen understands, Erchen knows how to be a fisherman, and he also knows how to win people's hearts." At this time, Zhu Guoxiong pointed to the large flat land between Qixia Mountain and Baohua Mountain on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the distance, and smiled at his father. "Father, there is the construction site of Xuanwu New District, the land has been leveled, and it will be ready to start after the New Year."

"Oh, it's far away from Yingcheng City, more than 20 kilometers, right?" Zhu Jishi looked at the white desolate flat land, frowned, and said, "Do the people who live here have a way to work?" ”

"The government should allocate funds to build a light passenger railway, which only takes half an hour to drive for more than 20 kilometers." Zhu Guoxiong said with a smile, "Actually, all the people who live here are laborers, and most of them work in Jiangnan District, but they are only a little more than 10 kilometers away by car. ”

There is no way to choose to establish a new area east of Qixia Mountain, because now the land price of Yingfu is getting more and more expensive, and the slightly better lot is often tens of thousands of yuan per mu of land, and it is impossible to build row houses, so you can only buy cheap land east of Qixia Mountain.

"There's nothing difficult about buying land, is it?" Of course, Zhu Jishi also knew the problem of high land prices -- the royal fund had made a lot of money from the rise in land prices in several major cities in the Ming Dynasty.

"There's nothing difficult." Zhu Guoxiong said with a smile, "Yuan Shikai is quite good at doing things, he has compensated the farmers for the best batch of shops in the commercial area of Xuanwu New District in the future, who doesn't know the truth of raising three generations in one shop?" There will be 600,000 households in Xuanwu District in the future, at least 2 million people! Moreover, he also searched for several places at the same time, and whoever first collected the land sales consent of all the farmers would build Xuanwu District. ”

"That's fine." Zhu Jishi nodded with satisfaction. In later generations, it will be difficult to demolish and requisit, and of course he knows it. In the current time and space, land acquisition and demolition are also not easy. Therefore, the metropolis of Daming often chooses to build new districts for development, rather than the idea of old cities. Therefore, the metropolis of the Ming Dynasty is often spread out like a big pie, covering an extremely wide area, to the point that each urban area is connected by light railways. However, this kind of wasteful construction method is not a problem at all for the Great Chinese Empire, which occupies half of the world, and the Ming and Han dynasties, as the core of Greater China, have long been positioned as a metropolis, a large industrial and financial center, and there is no concept of cultivated land protection, and there is no need to protect it.

However, the Ming Empire had a "land consolidation system" that later China did not have. More than 20 years ago, the Ming Parliament passed the Land Consolidation Law, nationalizing the "planning rights" of land across the country. No private or legal person may change the use of land or demolish large pieces of farmland without the approval of the relevant government departments. Moreover, the Government has the right to exercise the "right of land consolidation" with the authorization of Parliament - to replace or integrate fragmented farmland into contiguous farms, so as to promote the economies of scale in agriculture and facilitate the introduction of advanced agricultural tools and agricultural technologies. Therefore, the agriculture of the Ming and Han dynasties is not really withering, but only undergoing painful industrial upgrading. At the same time that a large number of peasant households went bankrupt and moved to the cities to make a living, a class of peasant owners who could be classly classified as the bourgeoisie was also rapidly forming.

"Father, the situation in the Americas is a little unstable now, I don't know ...... you" Zhu Guoxiong turned the topic to the international situation at this time.

Zhu Jishi laughed and waved his hand to interrupt his son's question, "I'm over eighty years old...... It's already a twilight year, and the general trend is not something I should consider at this age. What about the Americas, what about Europe, and what about my Greater China, it is up to you, the emperor, to make the final decision. I believe in your ability as an emperor, and I believe that my Great Chinese Empire has enough strength to crush all challengers! ”

He paused, and then said, "I have one mind now, to travel around Greater China and witness the great rivers and mountains that I have built in my life. When I went to Mexico to attend Mathilde's funeral, I began to travel...... First go to Donghua to see the country of choice of our Chinese, and wait until summer to visit the northern country, see the scenery of Beihua, and see the magnificent mountains and rivers of Siberia. In autumn, I will go to the Western Regions, go to Xihua, and go to the Western Qing Dynasty to meet the Empress Dowager Ye. When the air turns cooler, I will go to Persia to take a look, and then take a boat to India to cruise, by the way to visit Victoria, she is also my old friend, I think when I first met her, we were still young people, a flash is decades, it is really a dream...... "To be continued."
