C2468 Big Beards Warning (1/2)
Big Beard was extremely grateful to Xiao Letian for his financial assistance. But at the same time, he was even more thankful for Xiao Letian's respect towards him. He was just a destitute scholar who could not go back home. He wanted to write something that would shock the world with his bald brush. In the eyes of most people, he was nothing but a lunatic!
The respect Xiao Letian had for him, and the acknowledgement he gave him, could really be said to be providing help on a snowstorm. Moreover, Xiao Letian was not an ordinary person. She was the head of the Chinese nation, someone on equal footing with the queen's prime minister.
What did he count for? Only Britain, humiliated in Germany and beaten and deported in France, finally gave itself a little peace.
Such a huge difference in status could actually allow that man, who was high above him, to walk into his shabby home and use a very, very equal tone to discuss the history of mankind and the development and future of the world.
This kind of respect and acknowledgement made the bearded man's heart boil.
Before Xiao Letian left, this big bearded man reminded him from the bottom of his heart, that he must be careful, because the world was becoming more and more dangerous.
In ancient times, the motive force of war was simply the struggle for resources, as well as the greed of kings and generals. But the world had changed. It was completely different from the ancient times.
What is the driving force behind the future war? Whether it was capital or not, in the end, it was capital! Capital can break everything, it can break the dependence of mankind on religion for thousands of years, the dark Iron Curtain of medieval religion is not even bullshit in front of capital!
Capital will also redefine the country! Many weak countries, as long as they had the magic of capital, would be able to survive in the cracks of powerful countries, and even live very, very well.
For example, the Switzerland, a country that had already declared its permanent independence, was doing their utmost to develop its financial sector. They were too smart, and knew the impact of capital on the future of the world!
What else would capital change? Capital will also change the state of the nation. Capital would reconstruct the class within the country. The traditional kind of feudalism, under the impact of capitalism, is bound to become precarious.
With the King relying on the Pope's authority, this old road was no longer possible. The future rich and powerful would have to make a sound.
In other words, money would replace bloodlines and the inheritance of the feudal era. It would become the only criterion to separate the classes.
The king and nobles were slowly becoming worthless. Their authority was under serious challenge. There would even be a day when the populace would swarm, placing all those old nobles who refused to change anything on the gallows.
Do you know what the cruellest war in the future will be? It was a war between classes. The different classes fought desperately to protect their own interests. Everyone would be stuck in this river, unable to extricate themselves. At that time, it would be the true war for the entire country.
Can you imagine? It was likely that a cattle farmer on the outskirts of the country would be madly involved in a revolution. Why? Because they found out what the class was? They were trying to change their class, and the class they had before had to maintain their rule, which led to a general war.
So, in such a context, the scale of internecine killing will get bigger. Didn't you Chinese say that there was a place of refuge like Tao Yuanming? I'm afraid there won't be a future! Future revolutionary tides will be swept from top to bottom, from east to west, from city to countryside, creating great resonance from every corner.
