C1720 The Age of Killings (1/2)
Xiao Letian had gathered the old shopkeeper and Liu Chouchu and brought them to Yue Ba. They had already stated two of the three important tasks, the first one everyone could understand, that was to release a batch of stocks developed around the Far East through Liu Chouchu's hands. They believed that many merchants who had obtained the authority would not miss this opportunity to amass wealth.
Furthermore, these types of stocks were the most beloved stocks in the long term, because those patient Investor s knew the power of monopolization. As long as they could endure past the initial period of Infrastructure investment, they would be able to earn a lot in the future.
The first mission was simple, there was no need to worry too much about it, and the second task was to reform the businesses under Xiao Letian's name.
No one knew that Xiao Letian had already discussed this with his father-in-law when they were discussing about it last year. At that time, Fan Lian was very against it, because how could the authority he had in the old man's heart be lost?
But when he heard Xiao Letian's explanation of the future world, the old man became silent.
”What kind of world is the future world? I can divulge a truth to old Mount Tai. That would be the era of the 'King of Slaughter'. That would be the era when the feudal dynasty perished. That would be an era where blood rushed to the heavens … ”
”With the development of science and technology, mankind's destructive power will grow. The intensity of the war will become more and more intense. In the end, there will even be a world war that will erupt … This is unimaginable in your eyes! ”
”That would be a war that would be more tragic than any change in dynasty. Many empires would perish during that war, and many empires would perish …”
”Kill the King! This is a label I put on this era! ”
Xiao Letian was very clear that the Earth was getting smaller and smaller. An era of great human mobility and a great clash of ideas was about to occur. The development of civil rights ideas was naturally opposed to feudal imperial power and imperial power.
These were the undercurrents of human society. Kings around the world could still rule their kingdoms by force of habit, but this was the last of a kind. It was like a candle that would suddenly light up a little before it went out.
The Franco-Prussian War destroyed the royal family in France, but Napoleon III was never reinstated.
After the first world war, Prussia and the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were forced to step down. Of course, there was also the most tragic Emperor of the last generation of the Russian Empire.
The life span of the Great Qing was going to end in forty years. The Korean royal family was destroyed by the Japanese, and the Mongol princes were gradually disappearing. This included Vietnam and many other kingdoms in Southeast Asia that had also entered the tomb under the onslaught of the era's tide.
In Xiao Letian's previous life, the number of countries in the world that still retained their monarchy could be counted on one hand. Of course, the most successful ones were the British royal family s, as well as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium of Central Europe, the Netherlands and other countries.
Without exception, these countries were all constitutional monarchs, and the royal power was severely curtailed.
No one can go against the era, Xiao Letian definitely wouldn't be that fool. He was very clear about the thoughts of the people around him, pushing him to become the Emperor was the dream of all Draconians, at the very most, he had to become the King of China.
But Xiao Letian would definitely not fall for such a trap, he would not place his own descendants especially onto the fire to roast. This kind of luxurious life was extremely dangerous, with just a few decades of pleasure, all the kings in power would become the target of public criticism.
