At this moment, Zhao Lie, Wan Ji, and Bai Shidi also had a banquet together, and after three rounds of wine, Bai Shidi plucked up the courage to speak,

"The lower official has a question, and I don't know whether to say it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Lord Bai, who has always been quick to talk, what's wrong, if you have something to say, it's okay to talk about it." Zhao Lie pointed at Bai Shidi and said with a smile.

Wan Ji also smiled at Bai Shidi, "You kid will let it go if he has a fart." ”

Bai Shidi smiled, not caring at all.

"My lord, this council is similar to Macau, but there is no emperor in Macau, all Portuguese businessmen from all over the world gather in one place, in the future, the lord will be the supreme of Jiuding, why are you unhappy, if the council has power in the future, how can we be allowed to send troops to collect taxes at will, and then our army will not be constrained everywhere. Even adults will be restricted everywhere in the future... ”

As soon as Bai Shidi's words were finished, several other people also looked at Zhao Lie, he had already wanted to say these words, of course, Bai Shidi took the lead.

"Well, you finally said it," Zhao Lie smiled slightly, he estimated that these people had to think so, this Raushzi council was too much of a hindrance.

"Think about it, since the Han Dynasty, the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, why they have always been defeated once after more than 200 years, either overthrown by the people or destroyed by foreigners."

Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"This lord has said many times that the wealth of the previous dynasties mainly relied on the land endowment, and in the later part of the dynasty, the population increased greatly, and the land annexation of the nobles and gentry was serious, and the financial collapse of the imperial court."

Wan Ji replied that these Zhao Lie had been knowing them since ten years ago, and no one knew as their companions back then.

"This problem is not only in China, but also in Europe, where the Franconians and Dutchites are located, and the prosperity and decline are all due to the fact that the rights of later monarchs are not restricted, and the finances begin to collapse again, this is a cycle."

Zhao Lie took a sip of wine. He felt that it was time for them to give their subordinates an answer.

"And the Europe, where the Francian and Dutch are located, has already found a way to deal with it, that is, the lords and nobles have formed councils, and the uncontrolled use of troops and taxes by the monarch has begun to be restricted, and now it seems to have some effect."

"Those kings can do it, they can't be." Bai Shidi's eyes narrowed, he had never heard of a monarch willing to put a shackle on him.

"Of course they don't want to. But the lords are not ordinary people, they also have their own armed forces, and they have the right to defend their tax revenues, you think they can give up easily, the king wants to dissolve the council, the council wants to keep the power, and the two sides will fight. ”

"Then there will be a great chaos in this country." Gu Wuyue said in disbelief.

"The king also did not have the strength to destroy the lords and nobles, and it was impossible for the lords and nobles to become the monarch because they were scattered, and the result of the fierce fighting between the two sides was that the monarch was forced to back down. Let the council continue to exist, or his throne will not be secured. Now the King of England has begun to fight among himself with the Council. ”

Zhao Lie said simply.

"Is that really the case?" Wanji hesitated, he thought it would be so easy.

"That's true, but it's not going to be a result for decades." Zhao Lie smiled.

"Isn't this a chaotic rhythm?" Bai Shidi really couldn't believe it.

"This council has this advantage, it attracts a great number of nobles and gentry to join, and they can be half masters of the country, you think, if the king is too stupid. Constantly using foreign troops, or imposing heavy taxes. There is a great turmoil in the country, which will make the lords and gentry reduce the land and commercial taxes together, do you think they can make the king mess around? ”

Zhao Lie said this, several people fell into deep thought, obviously listening to it, Zhao Lie couldn't help but be satisfied. These boys still have knowledge over the years, and they are not the stunned young people they were at the beginning, they know that they should think about it.

"In the same way, if the Ming Dynasty has this council. Jiannu is so aggressive, can the gentry in the council be like the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, and sit back and watch the country shake, so how can their fiefdom and their council rights be kept, so they will also gather strength to attack Jiannu, which is to turn the past family world into a common world for all nobles and gentry and the Son of Heaven, and they dare not do their best. ”

Wan Ji, Gu Wuyue, Bai Shidi and others were thoughtful, these words of my lord are really fresh, it turns out that the rights of a country can still be played like this.

Zhao Lie looked at a few of his subordinates and began to think about this matter, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and then talk about these issues in the future.

The reason why he sent armor to the people of Beihua and set up councils for them was to make efforts for the development of the Central Plains, which was a test field, and finally transplanted everything in Beihua to the western continent.

He wanted to cultivate such a piece of soil on this land during his lifetime, so that the gentry and merchants could control the power, and the people could have a certain ability to defend themselves.

If there are gentry and other people secretly doing trouble, he can be killed with a knife and gun to take prestige when he is alive, so as to standardize a good path for the later direction of the Central Plains.

If the heavens follow the people to want to break the army and succeed in the revolution, he must be the emperor's choice, and in this era, the land will not accept other forms of government, only the emperor.

However, Zhao Lie did not want his descendants to be like the Qing Dynasty emperors, and the outdated system could not resist the invasion of the emerging European countries, and finally he was forced to cede the country, betray the people to keep his own power and dignity, and became the object of scorn from the whole world.

So is he Zhao Lie still a traverser, if it comes to that point, he will really come back to the light in vain, and he will also be weak.

In order to avoid the miserable fate of the descendants of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, his ancestor reluctantly made it difficult for them to take precautions, although there may be twists and turns, the worst may be that the Son of Heaven did not fight the gentry of the world, and finally Ding Ge again, but it is better than the last disgrace and being scolded by the world.

As for whether future generations can turn things around, Zhao Lie told himself that if he does not create opportunities, the Central Plains, a land with strong dictatorship, will still bear the evil fruit of a dictatorial emperor.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty in later generations did not work hard, except for individual emperors, they were also diligent in government, but one was that ethnic minorities ruled the Han nationality and safeguarded the interests of ethnic minorities everywhere, and this ass sat crookedly.

Then there is the monster of the imperial system that strangles everything that threatens him, whether it is people and things, so in the end, it is this rotten full-time imperial system that buries China.

Zhao Lie estimated that his descendants would be the same, and they would not deviate from this trajectory, and the fertile soil of the Chinese emperor for thousands of years would be able to bear such a thing, and would not produce other fruits.

Unless there is an external force that changes the soil climate, Zhao Lie now imperceptibly wants to change this track.

Of course, he will do his best, starting from the beginning of his children's education, it is a combination of Chinese and Western, and even European books should dominate, and he will take the initiative to establish contact with Europe, so that children can understand everything that happened on that turbulent continent and its impact on China.

At the same time, it is also necessary to vigorously promote Western learning throughout the country, cultivate the power of gentry and merchants, so that the power contrast between the Son of Heaven and these two classes is not so great.

As for whether the gentry and businessmen will give up their rights under the pressure of the Son of Heaven in later generations, Zhao Lie believes that they will not.

When he was alive, these people tasted the sweetness of rights, how could they give up, people are like this, they have not experienced it, of course, they don't feel it, if they have it, they are in danger of losing it, then they will desperately want to protect their rights and interests.

Just as the gentry of the Ming Dynasty in order to protect their own interests, they work against the Son of Heaven, that is, they do not pay additional taxes, and would rather sit back and watch the overthrow of the country to keep the scholars and the Son of Heaven in the world, and keep the privilege and dignity of those who have meritorious names not to pay taxes, human beings are so stubborn and short-sighted for the sake of interests.

And Zhao Lie just wants to take advantage of this and hand this bait over to the two greedy strata of gentry and merchants, so that they can get the right to monitor the monarch, and they will definitely toss in order to control the monarch's rights and protect their own interests.

Then one day they will be in pain when they are faced with the loss of this right, which means that they have lost the ability to defend the privileges of their class.

Then they will resist desperately, the more fierce their resistance is, but the Son of Heaven is also a rat trap, just like today's great tomorrow does not dare to tax the famous gentry in the world.

Because if you do that, the world may be overturned, and the gentry, who are the so-called backbone of the country, will overthrow you, and the whole world will be in chaos, and even the Son of Heaven will not dare to go against the trend.

And what Zhao Lie needs is for this seed to break through the ground and grow as strong as possible in his lifetime. (To be continued.) )

ps: Recently, a reader said that the battle array is not cool, and the battle formation with Jiannu is still so troublesome, in fact, it is so troublesome, the cavalry is really invincible in the era of cold weapons, and the possibility of those who go straight to Liaodong without iron cavalry is just on paper, that is, 100,000 elite soldiers break into Liaodong, what about grain and grass, it is a long road to supply from anywhere, more than 10,000 Jiannu cavalry can attack the supply line at any time, how many people can guard the grain and grass, tens of thousands, then how much grain and grass can be transported to the front, so there are no tens of thousands of iron cavalry to attack Liaodong, It's a dead end.
