"Jason, what's wrong? Such an unhappy look? "Among the splendid restaurants in Fort Maria, Maria. Clementina whispered next to Zhu Jishi, "Are you still worried about the affairs of the International Workers' Union?" ”

The table at which Zhu Jishi dined was a round table. According to Zhu Jishi's own rules, in the harem, only the queen and the imperial concubine can accompany him to eat, and the rest of the concubines are not qualified unless they have a special purpose. So now at the same table with Zhu Jishi, it is Queen Luo Xiangmei and Maria. Clementina also has a pair of twin sisters from the Turkish Empire, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia. When they married Zhu Jishi, they were thirteen or fourteen years old Lori, but now they are twenty-one or twelve years old young women's wives, and they are already mothers. However, these two women are very indisputable in the Daming Palace, although they have the high position of the imperial concubine, but they are very low-key, do not fight for power and profit, and are docile, and they are extremely obedient to Emperor Zhu (probably the result of YSL education), except for one point, that is, the two sisters "never separate", live together, eat together, sleep together, that is, sleep with the sleeping attendants, and also sisters with the same heart......

In addition to Zhu Jishi and the four concubines, the ones who served in the restaurant were the waiter Chiba Sanako and a few female officials and maids. This little Chiba beauty was also upgraded to a mother a year ago and gave birth to a son, but it was not in her name, but it was counted in the name of the queen of the Ryukyus, and she became the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Therefore, Sanako is still nominally "out of nowhere", so he has not been promoted, and he still serves Zhu Jishi as an elector. But everybody knows. Such a position is actually the best reward.

Just as Maria asked in a soft voice. Zhu Jishi's gaze. But he turned around on a pair of Turkish sisters and Chiba Sanako, and finally stopped at Queen Luo Xiangmei, "Xiangmei, what do you think of this international workers' union?" ”

"Oh, me?" Luo Xiangmei was enjoying the delicious food, and she didn't expect Zhu Jishi to ask her questions, so she quickly calmed down and replied with a smile: "The concubine thinks that this organization is in Europe. It's far away from us. ”

Zhu Jishi shook his head with a smile and looked at Maria again, "This organization is in France, isn't Napoleon III afraid?" ”

"Your Majesty, why should Napoleon III be afraid? The current French Empire was at its peak, and he was also known as Napoleon the Great by the French people. France's economy is also doing very well, and the national income is growing rapidly, so what is there to be afraid of? Maria's tone was full of pride, as if she were still a French (in fact, she no longer had French nationality).

Zhu Jishi nodded, Napoleon III really had nothing to worry about. The French and Roman Empires are now empires on a par with the British Empire, on a par with the sun never sets! And benefited from the needs of the Civil War and the Mexican Empire. Industry and commerce in France are growing rapidly - since investors are always looking to the future in a few years, they are looking at a France with markets and resources in South America, Africa and the Confederate States of America. So now French industry and commerce have also received a lot of investment, which has added to the already prosperous economy. Even historically possible crop failures and food supply shortages have been greatly alleviated by grain exports from the Mississippi River Basin (the Confederate States of America now controls most of the states in the Mississippi River Basin, and receives a large number of labor from China or Europe, making it a grain exporter).

The only thing that made people feel dissatisfied was probably the unsatisfactory life of the French peasants, but this was not due to the exploitation of the French landlords, but because the French small peasant economy itself was too inefficient.

Maria winked at Zhu Jishi, and said with a smile: "Although Bakunin's slogan is very attractive, we all know that slogans are slogans, and implementation is practice. I think if they really let them control Russia, the common people there will definitely not have a good life. ”

"Of course, there's no doubt about that!" Zhu Jishi nodded, his brows did not spread, "Then Russia will become a negative teaching material for the whole world, and everyone will know that Bakunin's set is wrong at that time." At present, Bakunin's propositions are still at the stage of slogans and theories, and they are all idealized principles, and when they are really put into practice, all kinds of drawbacks will naturally appear, and they will be worn out after several decades. ”

He paused, picked up his glass and took a sip of red wine, "However, not every country in the world will be as transparent as a glass. ”

"So what?" Maria. Clementina smiled, "Paper can't contain fire, and there is no impermeable wall in the world." Even if Bakunin can create an iron curtain in Russia, he can only deceive for a while, and it will not be long before Russia will become a country that everyone shouts and beats. If anyone is deceived by the Bakuninians, it is to blame their rulers for their incompetence...... I don't think the French and Roman Empires, as well as our Ming Empire, have such risks. ”

"But Turkey and Japan are hard to say!" Zhu Jishi shook his head, revealing a worried look.

The original Sultan of the Turkish Empire, Abdul. Mejid I died in 1861, and now the ruling party of the Turkish Empire is his son Abdul. Aziz I. However, the reforms that began with the Gulhan Decree of 1856 did not change with the change of monarchy. However, after more than six years of reform, we have not seen much benefit, and a lot of problems have been solved. In fact, this is also normal, and reform is such a thing, some people benefit and some people suffer. Especially before the dividends of the reform are large enough for the whole people to share, and even if there are fewer beneficiaries and more losses! Therefore, it is necessary to have great authority to push it, and the Turkish sultans precisely lack such authority as Zhu Jishi.

As for the situation in Japan, it is also not ideal. Proposed by Tokugawa Iekei, the reform of the combination of public and military forces led by Tokugawa Akiko has now been basically successful. However, the starting point of this reform was to protect the interests of the samurai class, especially the upper samurai class. The peasants and the lower samurai, who made up more than 95% of the Japanese population, did not benefit from the reforms. However, after the reform of the Gongwu system, the original feudal lord system was replaced by a bureaucratic government, but the number of bureaucrats was much smaller than the total number of feudal lords and shogunate royal families, so that a large number of unemployed lower-ranking samurai appeared. Although a considerable number of them were recruited to fight in the United States, the remaining part became a major social problem that plagued Japan!

In addition, Zhu Jishi's "sugar beet policy" also caused social turmoil in Japan. Because sugar beet is a biennial crop, it requires less labor and is cheaper to plant. As a result, some high-ranking samurai who owned large tracts of land took back the land from the peasants and started large sugar beet farms. As a result, a large number of Japanese peasants lost their jobs, and the whole society naturally became even more turbulent.

And now Tokugawa Ieyuki is 12 years old, and the Motofu is a matter of the past few years. However, Tokugawa Akiko has also listened to the "curtain to listen to politics" for 10 years, so naturally there are many minions, and he still has the original Tokugawa Shogunate's ninja crowd - the Imperial Court Fan Clan. Nearly 10,000 samurai who had participated in the war against Russia were also selected in the name of the new Japanese Governorate, and an army directly under Akiko was formed and named Shinnogumi (Shinnichi-no-gumi). She said she was going to New Japan in the future, but now she's stationed around Akiko's Otsu Miyagi and Kyoto, so I really don't know what she wants to do......

"This International Workers' Federation is very likely to be a big market in the future." Zhu Jishi withdrew his mind from Tokugawa Akiko and pondered, "But it will affect the East or a matter of the future, so we don't have to worry too much about it at present." He looked at Maria. Clementina said, "Give Bakunin another £300,000 to make a good scene!" (To be continued......)
