C2730 The laws of the country and its ancestors!

What was the future of the Chinese people that Xiao Letian had been working so hard for? In other words, what is the future foundation of the Chinese nation? This was an extremely complex problem, one that was far more difficult than people of this era could imagine.

The beginning of a nation, or a dynasty, must have been accompanied by ideas of statehood, and these ideas must have been transformed into a state policy, into visible, tangible laws and a system of awards and punishments.

Ideas are always full of competition, militarism, mercantilism, free trade, imperialism, divine edict of monarchy, Confucian law … All sorts of thoughts, all think that their way of governing is absolutely correct.

In all kinds of conflicts, different countries and different ethnic groups, have chosen their own unique concept of governance!

Some of them were biased, some of them were biased, some of them were biased, some of them were biased, and some of them were eccentric … There was an uncountable number of zeros!

However, it was undeniable that every country in this era had its own idea of development, which influenced the political ecology of the country.

Britain, for example, now believed in mercantilist colonization, and all his governance was in the service of that great national policy, even the glorious revolution, including his constitutional monarchy, was in the service of that great idea.

However, the Qing Empire still chose the Confucian concept of governing the country. This was a kind of closed and mature political system that completely served the farming civilization... It is worth mentioning here that the Confucian rule over the country was not negative, nor was it as vulnerable as the later generations' attacks.

The Confucian concept of governing the country was in fact a very specific thought that had appeared in order to adapt to farming and civilization!

This kind of concept was very suitable for the farming and civilized social and economic environment. This was an important safeguard for the Ancient China, who had always been at the top of the world.

Later on, the Confucian concept of governing the country failed. That was because the world environment had changed, human beings had started a new era of global commerce, and the commercial and trade civilizations had started to replace the farming civilizations. That was why the Confucian concept of governing the country had become untimely.

Xiao Letian was very clear that there was no right or wrong in ideas. Only when the time was right could he make the right decision.

In the 21st century, this concept was not new, but in the end nineteenth century, this concept was rarely mentioned, because the power of the traditions of the various nations were truly too strong.

The aristocrats and monopolists of Europe, the eight flags of the Qing dynasty and the Confucian landowner class … These people could easily control people's hearts through an inherent system of thoughts and steadily gain benefits, so they would never take the initiative to change their thoughts.

What is this dominant idea? In fact, the Confucian Scholars had already described it as very appropriate, and that was the nation's physique! The eight flags of the imperial clan had been described very clearly as well.

How can a nation change so easily?

How could the family rules be changed?

Throughout the history of the human race, all dynasties had this problem. Even after the fall of the dynasty, the ancestral family law set down by the Great Ancestor did not change much.

Perhaps there were some changes in the details, but the main idea would never change. In many people's eyes, once the nation's constitution and their family rules changed, it meant that the country had fallen!

The thought of governing the country had undergone a major change, which meant that the traditional class of vested interests would be replaced by the new aristocrats. This was an unprecedented transfer of interests, and a great upheaval in society was inevitable!

No one dared to do such a thing, even if they saw that the old traditions were filled with all sorts of unreasonable things. People would never change their minds. Those who tried to change their ways, almost none of them had a good ending!

The fate of the dynasty! Many empires, under the control of these stubborn, conservative thoughts, would perish in the end!

From the Ming Dynasty to the end, the natural disaster, the invasion of foreign tribes, and the drying up of the national treasury … A state of extermination had already appeared, but no one had ever dared to open an ocean ban!

It was obvious that just opening a dozen ports would solve the empire's financial crisis. However, even at death's door, it would not be able to open. The reason for this was very complicated.

But the most important of them all was still that country and its laws!

You dare to reform? If you reform, you will be the unfilial grandson of the ancestors, and you will no longer be the emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty! This was what the Confucian Scholars had said!

The bloody lesson was right in front of his eyes, it was impossible for Xiao Letian not to think, not to study, he had to think about what the last bit of the Chinese nation's physique should be. Could it be that after his death, there would also be people who would carry their urns and clamor that this was the Zong Clan's law?

Maybe all the governance that I, Xiao Letian, have now is correct, but who can guarantee that I will be correct after fifty years? A hundred years from now?

Where in the world is there always the right thought? Was it because the environment was changing?

What exactly did Xiao Letian's current creation of the Hua Clan look like? What kind of thought had gained the upper hand? This question was not easy to answer.

However, the current Chinese people already had the rudiments of a capitalist federation, the Far East, the Borneo, the Ryukyu, and one by one, the fortress of the Great Qing that was born in the future.

These are places of wealth suitable for capitalist development, and because of the geographical dispersion and differences in public opinion and environment, they can choose their own line of governance.

As long as they acknowledged that the Chinese were the co-owners, handed over their military, diplomatic, and educational rights, and accepted the Chinese Central Bank's capital controls, that would be enough. They could freely develop their economy and live their lives!

At present, the model has begun to take shape, the public, especially the nation's fledgling capitalist forces, have also accepted this idea.

Capital is developed, business is prosperous, people are thriving... Everything seemed to be flourishing, everything looked so beautiful! "Huu.

But is there really no danger under the appearance of prosperity? Xiao Letian was someone who had lived two lifetimes. Of course he knew that things were unpredictable, how could he have so many set rules!

All ideas, all classes, were prosperous at the beginning of their rise, and all the contradictions of the simple good of the people were acceptable.

But time can change everything. Since the Chinese have chosen the capitalist federation state, then the capitalists will naturally get the most power.

This group of people were like tigers against a tiger. Once the capitalists put away their mask of kindness from the beginning, they would eat people without spitting out their bones!

What is imperialism? To put it bluntly, imperialism was the evolved version of capitalism! Monopolistic capitalism naturally becomes imperialism.

And war is the best way to maintain a monopoly economy!

It could be expected that after Xiao Letian died, the Chinese army would be infiltrated by the monopolistic capitalists in less than fifty years. At that time, the ones controlling the army would be these rich and powerful people.

Once this large group of people gained control of the Chinese financial resources and military power, then it would be hard to say what would happen next!

This was already something that Xiao Letian was one hundred percent sure of!
