C2798 The Magic of Money 3 (2/2)
Amidst all the cursing, James still managed to lend his son-in-law quite a bit of money. However, this son-in-law was truly disappointing and still suffered consecutive defeats. He had finally lost his capital!
It could be that his son-in-law was too darned. In the end, before the war ended, James I fell ill and died.
At this time, the famous Charles I would go up on stage!
The Charles I, who had just come to power, chose to reconcile with the council, reopened the council, and amiably consulted with the bourgeoisie council members. After all, the state was still going to operate, so it was impossible for the treasury to not have money!
Do you want to stop issuing bonds? All of you capitalists, buy some. In the future, I won't learn to treat you better from my old man … It was precisely by this kind of deception that Charles I did have a good reputation during his early years on the throne.
But he could not hide his fox tail. Four years later, the Charles I and the council had completely broken off!
The Charles I forced the citizens whose annual income exceeded 40 pounds to pay the taxes of the Knights!
After that, he levied a tonnage tax on his goods!
Charles I's army had even casually entered the citizens' houses and taken over their nests!
The contradictions between atrocities, the first uprisings by the Scottish Highlands, and the subsequent special taxes imposed by the Charles I in an effort to quell the uprising in Scotland have become fire and water.
By then the capitalists had lost their dark medieval cowardice, and their influence had grown as their assets increased.
They were no longer sheep to be slaughtered. In order to survive, these capitalists had chosen to fight by force. Capital had finally begun to arm itself.
The capitalists were going to control the swords!
In the British Civil War, the Armoured Cavalry and Model Army trained by Ke Lunweier became the biggest supporters of capitalism. All of the British capitalists stood by Ke Lunweier's side.
After the short and bloody civil war, the Charles I was beheaded and the bloody heads announced to the entire world that the capitalists were not to be bullied nor humiliated, let alone killed!
Money was no longer afraid of imperial power! Anyone who tried to plunder or kill the capitalists would end up like the Charles I!
It was precisely this kind of brutal struggle that allowed capitalism to gain a foothold. If their reputations were not on the battlefield, how could they have the result of a glorious revolution?
Without the death of the Charles I, how could there be 'The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter!' Where was the famous quote?
Private property is sacred and inviolable, and this is the greatest legacy of the British Revolution to the world! This is how the capital-driven system of capitalism will emerge.
After more than two hundred years of struggle, the capitalists had completed their own evolution. From being a sheep that was slaughtered by others, they evolved into a goat with horns, then into a wild wolf, and finally into a lion and tiger!
He had lost a lot of blood along the way! These people grew up in the midst of a brutal war, so how could these people give up their rights?
The capitalist controls the world by relying on money, and the ultimate object of money is naturally gold!
”Your Majesty! Do you understand now? ”The Queen doesn't even have the right to raise taxes. Can she still control the pricing power of gold?”
”Don't ask anymore, this power is too huge and too mysterious!”
