C1748 Sinner? What about saints? (2/2)

When this happens, there are only two outcomes. One is that the government succumbs to the will of the people, and the other is that the will of the people is oppressed by the power of centralization.

No absolute right or wrong, no one is guilty in the face of history!

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Qingliu people shouted that they could not close the door of opportunity for China to the sea and give up the benefit of the sea to the Europeans. Can you say that they were wrong?

Actually, when Emperor Yongle built the super fleet, the commoners were as miserable as the scholars had said, they had to pay more taxes, do more corvette work, go bankrupt and destroy their families. These were all things that truly existed in history.

In those days, there were countless people who had lowered their taxes and money because of the clamor of these seeds. You couldn't say that these scholars were sinners.

However, in the face of history, these people were indeed the sinners of the Chinese nation. It was not difficult to find out the truth about Liu Da Xia burning Zheng He's nautical chart, but one had to admit that in which era a large number of officials like Liu Da Xia were desperately destroying all the oceanographic information.

Those countless ancestors of the early Ming Dynasty used their lives to explore the routes, maps, star charts, shipbuilding techniques, and wind data … The valuable information that Europa had racked his brains for but was unable to get was gradually disappearing under the destruction of these people.

Are they sinners for history? When they were still alive, were they just a part of the public's story?

The bloody lesson was in front of everyone, Xiao Letian could not help but think, was the Hidden Dragon Institute really an organization that created benefits and raised idler for their children?

Wrong, the Hidden Dragon Project was actually to form a strong invisible power within a democratic country, a powerful and far-sighted organization that could shatter the people's shortsightedness.

The Hidden Dragon Institute had countless capital, the ability to allocate global resources, the reserves of top scientists, and an unimaginably huge network of people!

It was necessary to have such an organization to crush all short-sighted actions, so as to ensure that society would move forward step by step and not let the masses sink into the abyss of mere pleasure.

The Chinese had only just started their business, the people cheering Xiao Letian on in a short period of time was all an illusion. Xiao Letian was very clear that the moment he acted according to his plan, once the war between Europe and France ended, it would be the moment he revealed his cards to the masses.

Xiao Letian even had a premonition that he would one day be driven down by the people!

Because after the end of the new method, it would be time for the Chinese to train their internal energy, especially their strategy of building the number one navy in Asia and the second strongest navy in the world.

Don't think that the people will forever shout ”Long live Xiao Letian”. If the Navy Expansion Project were to begin, the people will realize that their income had greatly decreased and their taxes have increased rapidly.

There will be a slow period of inflation, and the wealth of the people will be gradually plundered!

Maybe Xiao Letian was a little more gentle than the others in history, maybe he could save the people's hunger or maybe it could even be higher. But what was undeniable was that the Chinese people wanted a strong navy, wanted the world's most advanced technology, and wanted to improve their industrial system. If they wanted to live a hard life with Xiao Letian, they would have to follow them for twenty years.

”Prime Minister …” Prime Minister! ” The shout woke Xiao Letian from his deep thoughts, ”It's about to be the Amami Oshima in front of us, in four or five hours we will reach the military port in the Guotou Village.

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly and rubbed his face, then turned to Itou Hirobumi and said, ”Give me a cup of coffee, I'm not sleepy at all. There are some things that I need to think about, and think about them again …”
