Chapter 204: Golden Turtle-in-law

I specifically answered the opinions of green tea netizens. During that period, thinkers were more TT-style utopians and some serious racists. These people eat nothing to do all day long, and their thoughts are very unrealistic, but they have great incitement.

I am not completely suppressing ideas, but removing some unrealistic Western ideas. This is what Britain did. During the Industrial Revolution, Britain took the enlightened line. In the same period, France had various "advanced" ideas flowed. In two hundred years, there were n political systems. First, the bourgeoisie developed a royal party, then the proletariat engaged in bourgeoisie and lord party, then the proletariat was massacred, the royal party was restored, then the bourgeoisie was restored, then the bourgeoisie was restored, then the bourgeoisie was restored, then the last was Napoleon's dynasty, then the republic, then the restoration of Napoleon III, then the restoration of the proletariat, and finally the cruel suppression. You may say, this is good, this is the people fighting for human rights, but what I see is killing each other everywhere, everywhere is full of bones, and all kinds of interests are driven out of power.

Later, in order to fight back, they fought everywhere to invite foreign aid, but in the end they made a unified Germany. I personally think that if you want to develop, the first task is not to make trouble. Any advanced ideas may be awesome in a few hundred years, but if you put them a few hundred years ago, it will become a disaster. Of course, the protagonist did not deliberately suppress local ideas, such as mind learning, but just responsible for guiding them. Any thought can emit dazzling light within a certain period of time. The feudal system in Britain was always cautious and progressing slowly when the democratic system transitioned. The reason for France's tossing was not that there was a problem with their thoughts, but that they were too advanced and advanced to various classes to stand up to fight for their own rights and interests. However, when they were in power, they found that their so-called rights and interests were just castles in the air because there was no foundation for realization.

As for the Westerners you proposed, it is indeed ridiculous that they will not kneel down to the strong. Westerners have always been dominated by profit. The reason why they do not kneel down to the Qing Dynasty was that they believed that the Qing Dynasty was a barbarian. What they were really proud of was the Chinese people back then. The world was so great, was the kingly land. Except for themselves, they were all civilized people, and all were savages. But what? Decades later, everyone became grandsons when they saw foreigners. The mother of the country Soong Mei-ling was proud of her fluent English. When the Japanese called them, they were not to resist. The first thing they thought of was the civilized country opposite the Pacific and the Atlantic. Now, the petty bourgeoisie was "higher" to celebrate Christmas Valentine's Day, proud of their foreign style, and to eat with knife and fork. A nation that came for thousands of years could become a country that was central, not to mention those Westerners who valued real profit and were "pride"?

In addition, my friend said that the protagonist was cold-blooded, but I actually think it was not enough. Which one of Tang Zong, Song Zu, Qin Emperor, Han Wu is not cold-blooded? The protagonist is far worse than them. I have always believed that a person who is not cold-blooded cannot be a good emperor. Zhu Jun is an emperor. Since he has traveled through time, his class has already determined his attitude. If a person doesn’t even have selfishness, how can he build a feudal dynasty in his family well? The protagonist has a national hatred against the Qing Dynasty, but it is absolutely true that he has no choice but to do a good job in the feudal dynasty?

It’s not a saint. Since you are looking at history, don’t bring back any so-called modern ideas. It’s not that I say modern ideas are bad, but that’s very nonsense. If you travel back to become an emperor by yourself, you will actually think of letting the emperor cultivate his enemies. Isn’t this a brainless person? If there is a riot between the assets and the proletariat, what should the protagonist do? Should he give up his position? If suppressed, then okay, is the protagonist sick? At the beginning, he has to cultivate free thoughts, and now he is free.

Thoughts are about to destroy you, but you are still suppressing it? Someone will jump out and say, you selfish ghost, for the throne, are covered with blood of your compatriots. But what if you compromise? How to compromise? Chinese people's thoughts emphasize the roots. If the other party must pull you to the guillotine? Are you smiling and saying, for democracy, for freedom, good, I have died, and everyone in the world has been liberated. I am very happy. Thank you for the rebels, thank you, thank you, thank you President xx, thank you

People, thank you CCTV? Thank you for cutting off the weeds, cutting off my head, killing all my family, justice is upheld, evil is finally going to hell, come and kill me, kill my descendants, kill my wife, and the whole family is dead. It’s so fucking good. This is called true democracy. All the noble classes must be killed. Not only those with the surname Zhu, but those with the surname Mu must be killed, and those with the surname Li must be killed. We are all pests, we are all pests~~~~~

Sorry, I wrote about the emperor, an emperor who works hard and also has a selfish mentality, not a brainless person. The progress of any political system is determined by productivity. When productivity reaches a certain stage, the slave society will naturally evolve into a feudal society. The feudal society in Britain began to enter capitalism without realizing it. What Zhu Jun wanted to cultivate was not a group of mobs. He just hoped to use the power of capital like the British to change this society. Only by having enough money can we know honor and disgrace. Social changes have never been obtained by violence, and any extreme thoughts should be eliminated.

Do you have a wife? Zhu Jun couldn't help but be stunned and then realized that in Europe, intermarriage between royal families is simply common. Now a "civilized" royal family has appeared in the East. In order to win over feelings and collusion with political interests, intermarriage is the most common method. Therefore, in Europe, almost all royal families are in-laws. A certain king is the cousin of another king, and this eldest prince is the uncle of that king, aunt, third aunt, and fourth aunt. As long as you calculate it, you will find that the royal families in Europe are basically blood relatives.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Highness William III has a daughter. If you haven't married yet, you may be able to propose to Your Highness. Although it is thousands of miles away, I believe that Your Highness will accept your love." The British minister looked at Zhu Jun with a gaze, wishing that Zhu Jun would nod and agreed. He immediately took a boat back to the country to advise William III to agree to this marriage. In terms of strength, Zhu Jun is definitely several times stronger than European countries. In terms of wealth, John saw

There is no need to doubt this palace with carved beams and painted buildings, and the pure gold chair under Zhu Jun's seat. In terms of influence, the powerful Ming Navy easily killed the Dutch Far East fleet. From this point of view alone, it is enough to make all the kings of Europe ashamed. Moreover, the gracefulness and "pure" imperial bloodline shown by Zhu Jun are enough to be comparable to any royal family in Europe. After all, the Ming Dynasty has been established for three hundred years, and for the European royal family, for the three hundred years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, for the European royal family,

It's also a long time.

Political marriage? Zhu Jun's heart was shocked. The British minister was too abrupt and did not give Zhu Jun any preparation time at all. William III Zhu Jun knew that he was the son of Princess Mary, the daughter of the Dutch ruler William II and King Charles I of England. His wife was the British princess Mary. His grandfather seemed to be an Austrian prince, his grandmother was a famous French Ponbo dynasty princess, and his grandmother was a real Spanish royal blood. Basically, this guy was filled with the blood of all the royal families in Europe, and he was a relative of all the royal families in Europe. He was rebellious. But if he could marry a European royal princess as a concubine, then Zhu Jun would be tied with all the royal families in Europe, and many things would be much more convenient.

As for the princess, it is easy to pass on. She is a little more beautiful and can fill the harem. She occasionally enjoys exoticism. If it is not as eye-catching or has too heavy body odor, she will just raise it and not touch it. The biggest problem is that Zhu Jun already has two scheduled wives and concubines. If she gets another princess, it would be equivalent to adding an extra concubine. William III should not agree.

Zhu Jun coughed and pondered, "I already have a wife. But the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has many concubines. If the princess is willing, I can immediately give a generous gift to William and His Highness William and the princess. It is a dowry. If the princess doesn't want to, these gifts are just a gift for meeting."

Earl John couldn't hide his disappointment. The princess was so noble. You were a third-marriage. You also wanted the princess to make you a small land. Not to mention that the princess didn't agree. William III wouldn't want to. Although the European royal family had many lovers, they always insisted on monogamy. Therefore, it was obviously not appropriate to accept the habits of the East.

"Well, your majesty. I am willing to serve. Whether the princess promises you a proposal or not, England will always be your ally."

Zhu Jun accompanied them to talk to them. He was quite moved by this marriage. The princess was not important to him. But the island country on the other side of the Atlantic was crucial to him. Once he married the princess, if he could give birth to a child with her, as long as William III was finished, the Ming Dynasty navy could enter the Atlantic Ocean and support Zhu Jun's descendants to ascend to the British throne. In fact, most of the kingly thrones in Europe were brought in this way. For example, William III. He was just the son of the Dutch consul and the British princess Mary. According to the Eastern tradition, he was at most

He was just a royal relative. But he was qualified to ascend to the British Isles and become the king of the British Isles. He also turned his guns. After decades, he led the British to defeat the Netherlands, where his father ruled. This kind of nonsense and in-laws was very chaotic. However, it was also an important means for Zhu Jun to interfere in Europe. More than ten years later, once Zhu Jun and the descendants of the British Princess became the British king, the Ming Navy could be stationed there with just a legitimate reason. Pay attention to every move on the European continent at any time. This is a big advantage. If Zhu Jun doesn't get involved, he is purely an idiot.

By noon, the imperial kitchen had already organized a sumptuous lunch. Zhu Jun got up and left his seat. He invited the ministers and bishops to have lunch together. After all, Zhu Jun is a modern person. He has a good understanding of European ideas. He talked happily. Zhu Jun promised that merchants from all over the country could come to Southeast Asia to do business without any obstacles. He also invoked the system of sending overseas students. Both sides sent a group of students to study at each other's local schools every year to deepen their understanding.

For Europe, Zhu Jun did not have the ambition of annexation, nor did he have the strength of annexation. Zhu Jun's idea was to leave behind this civilization that was completely different from the East. The two civilizations competed with each other. As long as the Ming Dynasty did not stay in the country in later generations, then the Ming Dynasty was rich in resources and the Han people's intelligence, and he would definitely be able to maintain his leading position in Europe. And there were more competitors around Da Ming, and naturally he would no longer be as arrogant as before. After understanding the opponent, the Han people's civilization would become more brilliant.

Not destroying it does not mean not controlling it, and competing with it does not mean allowing its national strength to expand. Zhu Jun's goal is to set the British Isles, which are not far from the European continent, but also try not to participate in the chaos of the European continent. Using the British Isles as a gift can provoke all countries on the mainland. When it is weak, the British Isles can serve as a trading base between the Ming and Europe, but once it suddenly becomes strong, the British Isles can become a giant aircraft carrier pressing on the heads of Europeans at any time, in order to achieve the goal of containment.

After lunch, Zhu Jun left the seat first. According to his habit, it was the time to take a nap. The weather in Nanyang was hot. If you didn’t take a nap at noon, you would be in a daze after one day. Therefore, Zhu Jun developed this good habit. The ministers said goodbye one after another and left the palace gate under the guidance of the eunuch.

A few days later, the list of gifts given to the British princess by Zhu Jun was handed over to Count John, with a thick account book. Earl John opened the first page with a trembling name. The names of various commodities such as ivory, agate, jewelry, silk, etc. were vividly displayed on the paper, and behind them, the number of various gifts was marked.

"God, is this a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to the princess?" Earl John trembled with his hands. Is this a gift? This is simply a treasure house. God, how much wealth is this? The tax in London is only 100,000 silver coins a year, and the value of this list is at least more than 500,000 silver coins, the total of the entire British tax revenue in one year.

Britain in this era was still in the feudal lord period, with the population of London being less than 50,000, and 500,000 silver coins were enough to make each of the population of London last year.

In fact, John still miscalculated, so these luxury goods would never be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty. The reason why John overestimated these gifts was just a matter of price. The gifts on these lists were ordinary in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhu Jun could receive ivory from various vassal states every year, and the warehouses were filled with warehouses. But if they were placed in Europe, it would be a priceless treasure. The reason is very simple. There are elephants in Southeast Asia, but Europe does not.

There is also silk. This kind of cargo can produce tens of thousands of pieces a day in a workshop in Haidu, and the price is only one tael of silver per piece. However, once it is shipped to Europe, its value will increase by at least ten or twenty times. Why? Because Europe does not produce silk, if they buy it, they must let the fleet take the first half of a year to traffic back and forth, and its value will naturally become noble.

However, Zhu Jun also spent a lot of money on this trip, so he naturally had no feelings for the princess. Since this is the case, if you want William to take the bait in the third world, you will use the money to kill him. If you don’t believe this country bumpkin will not treat him as a rich son-in-law.
