Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the ward of Jiangnan Hospital.

    Jiang Xueying was keenly aware that Zhao Hao seemed to have different views on Li Zhi's article, so he asked softly: "Then I dare to ask brother, what kind of court do you want to have?"

    "" Zhao Haoxin said, of course I hope for socialism, but the conditions cannot be met.

    After a moment of silence, he took a deep look at his most trusted assistant and felt that it was necessary to let her know his thoughts.  To avoid going the other way in the future.

    So he closed the memorial and said solemnly: "I hope there will be a powerful national machine to protect us!"

    "Oh?" Jiang Xueying was stunned. She didn't expect that her brother's views were so different.

    "Sister, we can't just focus on the palm-sized place of Jiangnan." Then Zhao Hao said earnestly:

    "There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, not just Jiangnan. If there is no strong state machine, how can we make up for the losses? The blind emphasis on 'the ultimate way of doing nothing' can only make the rich in the Ming Dynasty get richer and the poor get worse."  If you are poor, internal and external troubles will arise, and how will there be any eggs under the overturned nest?"

    "My little sister didn't expect this, but my brother saw it all." Jiang Xueying showed a look of surprise.  ¡°We really can¡¯t just look out for ourselves.¡±

    "Let's look further ahead. As I have repeatedly emphasized, the world has entered the Age of Discovery. The Spanish and Franconians have divided the world, and the Dutch, British, and French are ready to make moves. If we miss this  In this era, Ming Dynasty will always be in a passive situation and will never regain the glory of the heavenly kingdom!"

    "Furthermore, the many seemingly terminal illnesses of the Ming Dynasty will be cured as we enter the new era. How can the Ming Dynasty continue for another two hundred, four hundred or even more years? Only by making itself great again,  The sun and moon are in the sky, shining on the five continents and oceans forever, there is no other way!"

    "We have fallen behind in this competition and must catch up. But it is not just as simple as trying to open up sea trade." Zhao Hao said decisively:

    "Our ships must not only have cargo, but also artillery and guns. We must have well-equipped and well-trained naval forces, as well as the support of the domestic government and the opposition, in order to protect our routes and drive those Thais out of our  sphere of influence!¡±

    The more Zhao Hao spoke, the more excited he became, his whole body seemed to be sparkling, and Jiang Xueying was so drunk looking at it.

    This is what she is most obsessed with about Brother Zhao.  She felt that Zhao Hao was neither a scholar nor a businessman, but an idealist who could be the best!

    No amount of wealth can buy the brilliance of ideals, which makes people dazzled and willing to follow his footsteps.

    ??~~

    As Zhao Hao said, the Age of Discovery was never the free trade or market competition that future generations talk about, but state capitalism with artillery.

    It¡¯s not just the Age of Discovery?  The British Empire, which gave birth to the Industrial Revolution in another time and space, was not the free, enlightened and clean country described by later generations.

    On the contrary, it is a bureaucracy and a powerful country with exploding military expenditures, constant wars, interventionist policies, high taxes, high debt, and extreme trade protectionism It is definitely not a democratic country.

    It was not until it completed the industrial revolution and became an empire on which the sun never sets that it suddenly began to advocate liberalism.  The purpose is nothing more than to deceive those backward countries that follow his example, give up trade protection, open up the domestic market, and become a dumping ground for their goods.  And destroy their national industries so that they can continue to dominate.

    With these experiences and lessons, how could Zhao Hao suffer from childish disease again?

    So he knew very well that what the Ming Dynasty needed in this era was to protect the development of industry and commerce internally and to smoothly allocate national resources.  Externally, it can protect territorial security and protect the powerful regime that expands overseas.

    It seems that this is very similar to the state capitalism led by Comrade Lenin, but the system hundreds of years later cannot be applied to today's Ming Dynasty.

    Therefore, Zhao Hao dare not say which system is most suitable for the Ming Dynasty.  He could only try his best to do what he could to promote the development of Ming Dynasty's economy.

    Doesn¡¯t it mean that the economic base determines the superstructure?  Then let the Ming Dynasty's system evolve with the development of the economy and see if a system can be generated endogenously that meets the requirements of the times.

    That day, Jiang Xueying asked him his last question.  "Brother, do you believe that the court will become what you hope it will be?"

    "" Zhao Hao looked out the window silently. There was a plum tree there, which bloomed with the first red plum this winter.

    This kind of thing can never be guaranteed

    ??~~

    It is already the late winter month, the sky is overcast, and a light north wind is blowing.It's spinning, even in Jiangnan, it's cold enough.

    In the Kunshan County Yamen Room.

    The doorkeeper, Yu Meng, was hiding in the concierge's room by the fire with a few fellow Beijingers.

    These group of domestic slaves who followed the young master to the south are now scattered throughout Suzhou to take care of things.

    Some help the young master take care of his personal businessmainly the schools, weapons, and steel research institutes under the name of Singularity Investment, businesses that have nothing to do with Jiangnan Group.

    Some of them work at Jiangnan Group headquarters or in various companies. In addition to fulfilling their duties as employees, they also secretly act as the son's eyes and ears to prevent anyone from deceiving Zhao Hao.

    Others are like Yu Men, who run errands in the county government and help Mr. Zhao travel here and there.

    Therefore, it was rare for everyone to see each other. This time, it happened that seven or eight people had returned to the county government office, so they gathered in the concierge and chatted.

    There was a wire mesh placed on the charcoal basin, and a dozen sizzling and oily chicken wings were grilled on it.

    Qi Ren, the director of the Ordnance Research Institute, took a bristle brush and brushed the chicken wings with seasonings. The smell made the fellow villagers drool.

    Yu Men held the tea cup and said with a joking smile: "This thing is so convenient to use, but if you let the young master know that Lao Qi asked the blacksmith who makes gun barrels to help you build the barbecue grill, I'm afraid I will have to put you on the shelf.  Passed the exam."

    "What are you talking about? We are doing this for scientific research." Qi Ren pouted and said, "This is all part of the experiment, do you understand?"

    ¡°Nonsense, grilled chicken wings are also an experiment?¡± The fellow villagers naturally didn¡¯t believe it.

    "Of course. Don't underestimate this barbecue grill. The iron wire on it can't be made anywhere." Qi Ren said proudly: "You have seen such soft, tough, and not easy to rust iron wire before.  ?"

    "Yes, I have never seen it before." The fellow villagers suddenly said: "If it were replaced with another iron frame, it would rust after one use, and there would be no way to use it a second time."

    "Hehe, there's a lot you haven't seen." Qi Ren said and stopped: "But I can't tell you, otherwise the secret will be leaked."

    "Fuck you!" All the fellow villagers spat one after another: "I think you don't know either."

    "Eating chicken wings won't stop your mouths." Qi Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Okay."

    "Here I come, here I come." The fellow villagers rushed to grab the grilled chicken wings.

    Yu Men finally managed to grab one, and when he was blowing hot air to cool it down, he saw his cousin Yu Xu coming in from outside, who was watching outside.

    "Brother, there is an old man outside who claims to be our old man."
