C2488 He even lied to his own people? (2/2)

Who knew that the farmer was so stubborn that he would refuse to sell his ancestors' property. Not only that, his tone was exceptionally tough!

In his anger, William I ordered his soldiers to forcibly demolish the mill, in other words, force them to sell it.

The miller was instantly anxious. Even if it was the king, he couldn't force the issue! I said that I didn't want to sell it to you, so I couldn't sell it to you. In the end, I sued William I to the Supreme Court of Prussia.

This was the first case of a plebeian suing the king!

In the end, the Supreme Court ordered William I to use his power to steal other people's land, and the court sentenced the King to immediately restore the Moulin Rouge and compensate the miller for his mental damages of 150 gold coins.

This was the famous Potsdam Moulin. To this day, the Moulin Rouge still stood on one side of the Germany's Worryfree Palace, becoming a witness to history.

From this historical case, one could see the history of judicial construction in Europe, but at the same time, they could also see the true nature of William I. He might be like an ordinary person, angry, angry, and also impulsively do some irrational actions, but after he calmed down, he could still magnanimously face the accusations that an ordinary citizen would make against him.

Accepting the judgement of the court and sincerely admitting that it was wrong, that was the quality a benevolent king should have. In other words, for Bismark to be able to become the Prime Minister Iron-Blood of Prussia and then become the ruler of the country, the biggest credit actually belonged to William I and not to. However, if it was Bismark, then no one else but him would have such historical achievements.

's grandson, William II, had been forced to retire not long after he ascended the throne. Seeing as how the king can tolerate you, it is really a matter of luck!

It was precisely because Xiao Letian had a thorough understanding of his temperament that Xiao Letian was willing to reveal this truth to him.

In truth, the one who exposed this kind of secret should be Bismark, but he didn't know what Bismark was thinking. It was probably because his temperament was too arrogant, this person was looking down on the imperial power!

He was forced to reveal the entire plan to Xiao Letian because he knew that he had no other choice. As long as the conditions allowed, he would be able to deceive even the King!

Xiao Letian looked left and right, and then said to the King in a low voice: ”Dear Emperor, I can only tell you one thing, all the economic data you have seen about Prussia are fake, and have been modified by someone!”

”What?” This was impossible. Who would be so daring as to bully the sovereign? Is it Bismark? ”

”No, no, no …” The Prime Minister is not trying to deceive you alone. He is trying to deceive the entire world of Europe, and this strategy is trying to deceive the victory of the Franco-Prussian War! ”

”As we all know, in the early days of the nineteenth century, Prussia was not a powerful country. At that time, Prussia was a very weak, feudal and dictatorial country.

”It wasn't until the 1830s that Prussia started to tread the path of the Industrial Revolution. I reported a set of simple data to the His Majesty the King, and you know to what extent your family background is now …”

”The number of steam engines in Prussia increased from 419 in 1837 to 1,139 by 1846.”

”After 1840 Prussia owned 245 steam trains, and by now the number of steam trains has risen to 3,485...”

”This is a real increase in the strength of a country! Do you know all this data? ”
