C792 Feng Fu's Wickedness

"The entire history of human politics is just a game of swing between centralization and decentralization. Power is the public utility, and everyone wants to eat more. Just as I've said before, it's a giant pendulum, a crash between centralization and decentralization."

"The pinnacle of centralization is the dictatorship. The pinnacle of decentralization is the separation of powers and the division of power. Why is it that Europe has not formed an effective and unified empire? Why was the Ancient Rome Empire destined to fall? "Actually, it has something to do with their geography."

"Ancient European civilization was actually a Mediterranean civilization. Opening the map of the peak period of the Ancient Rome would allow you to understand that the ruling core of this empire is within the limit of the sea transportation radius …"

It was now 6 in the morning. Normally, Xiao Letian would already be up by this time and walking for a bit, just in time to eat breakfast. However, the situation was a little special today. As the ladies had all come to Ryukyu, the officials of the Prime Minister's Manor were well aware that they had not sent in too many official documents for the Prime Minister to review.

They were all men, and they were all very clear about the state they would be in after ten months.

However, there were still people who came to disturb Xiao Letian's vacation. That person was Zai Chun, and this eleven-year-old was clearly capable of barging into Xiao Letian's inner chamber at will. None of the guards were able to stop him.

In the study room, Xiao Letian used cold water to wash his face. He stared at the black circle and started to feel sleepy, and after a while, he remembered the scene from last night.

Zai Chun called out to his master three times in a row before waking Xiao Letian up from his daze and posed his own question.

Last night, Zai Chun did not sleep at all, because he heard the explanation of the Monarch Technique from Feng Fu and the group of Confucian Scholars.

Feng Fu's explanation made the little Emperor a little scared. Feng Fu had said, why did he continue to raise the Green Camp even though he knew that the Green Camp no longer had any fighting strength? He knew that the Eight Banners had already become a popinjay, so why wasn't he reforming?

Why was there no official in the world who was not greedy, but why did the emperor have to be greedy? He Heshen had embezzled 800 million silver, why would Emperor Gao treat him as a treasure?

Everything was for the sake of centralization of power, for the sake of the Emperor's authority!

The Green Camp was filled with Han, regardless of whether they raised the flag or not, they were all Han. Why would the Han army be so strict and strict? Was he going to be as strong as the Yue clan's army? When that time comes, all the female Adepts will continue to call him Grandpa Yue?

What's wrong with him? The more playful they were, the more it proved that they did not have any thoughts of rebelling. Back then, when the Nine Dragons Seizing the Realm, the Eighth Sage King was a good man, but the more promising he was, the more wary the Emperor was of him.

It was better to be a corrupt official. The more corrupt an official was, the more it proved that he would not rebel, because all his corruption was due to the imperial court. If this system were to be overturned, where would he go to be corrupt?

That was why eunuchs sold the emperor eggs for ten taels of silver. That wasn't corruption, that was the emperor's reward. What he used that money to buy was the loyalty of eunuchs!

Feng Fu and the others talked until three in the morning, before Feng Fu concluded, "Businessmen are fickle, because they are always chasing the latest profits. Today, they can grow tea, and in order to earn money, they can abandon their conscience completely … "I admit that this group is capable, but it is precisely because they have changed so much that they are not destined to rule this country …"

"Because China is too big and has too many people, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, and any random movement can only break people's hearts... "The commoners earned money by growing grain this year, and earned money by growing cotton next year. They might abandon their cultivated land and become a merchant the following year …"

"You know, not everyone can become a qualified businessman. All living things are not the same, and ten fingers are not that long yet. How do you expect everyone to be rich?"

"But grass folk are greedy, and they don't have the ability to control themselves. It's normal for them to earn small amounts of money and lose large amounts of money. And once they lose their ancestors' businesses, that kind of person is the most unstable member of society …"

"Oh, the Emperor! If our entire Qing Dynasty worships this kind of merchant, I'm afraid in less than ten to twenty years, this nation's people would be completely lost! "

The little emperor was stunned hearing this, he simply could not refute what Feng Fu had said, this was not his own idea, this theory had thousands of years of experience in the entire Confucian clan.

After that, Feng Fu refuted Xiao Letian's army building. "An army is just a group of soldiers, what kind of idea do you have? What idea do you want!? "

"There's still a meeting, and I have to tell them the purpose of each battle? Stinking soldiers should just obediently fight and get their money! Today, they can bravely kill the enemy for the sake of a few slogans. Tomorrow, they can even overthrow the emperor for the sake of their so-called ideals! "

"Your Majesty, don't be silly. If one day you displease these soldiers with your orders, will they overthrow you? You won't even be able to find the door when you cry! "

"We all know that the armies of the Ryukyu can fight, but we definitely do not want such troops. We have no way to control them … What kind of army was this, fighting to be a death soldier without giving rewards? Was there really such a terrifying soldier in the world? I'm afraid that if they break into the Forbidden City in the future, they won't even need to pay for their actions.

Zai Chun was completely stupefied. He had been feeling conflicted in his heart, ever since he returned to his residence. He had been unable to sleep, staring all the way to the horizon, then directly went to find Xiao Letian after wiping his face. He wanted to get the Prime Minister's answer.

After listening to Zai Chun's narration, Xiao Letian was very pleased. Yesterday, he had ordered ISI to not conduct eavesdropping on this visit, and to not allow them to freely read the records of last night's conversation, so Xiao Letian did not know either.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, his good disciple took the initiative to send the plot to him. It seemed that this year's investment in love was still quite useful.

Xiao Letian admitted that Feng Fu's words were extremely bewitching. The key points that he had pointed out were all very sharp, and Xiao Letian also knew that what Feng Fu had said before would happen.
