C3207 Easy-to-understand

This was the first time Yi Suobeila had met someone analyzing the national affairs like this. No one had ever mentioned such complex political, military, colonial and other matters to him … It was so easy to understand!

Of course she had a very good education, and a very good one at court, but one of the great drawbacks of this education was that it was too high to be grounded.

Since ancient times, the education of emperors and emperors had always been detached from the masses. They analyzed problems and always stood on top of human society, placing themselves as the rulers appointed by God to look down on the human world.

They had never cared about the joy, anger, sadness, or the pursuit of benefits from ants. However, these ants were the ones that drove the movement of all living things in the world. This was a contradiction.

The court education is too gorgeous and lacks contact with the people, the greedy officials intentionally want to decorate the peace, then the queen will not be able to hear the truth.

Xiao Letian once said to the Tongzhi emperor, "Actually, all of the perverted kings in history were deliberately molded by the civil officials and military officers!"

"Why do you say that? That's because it's not easy to fool a true hero, and it's also very difficult to serve them. Not only are they unable to benefit from it, they're also in danger of losing their lives! "

"Raising a nerd like King of Confusion is a matter of great joy for all the officials and officials of the country. A monarch with such a low status would surely lead to a carnival for all the officials and officials of the country!"

"The monarch is easy to deceive and easy to fool. The people below can do whatever they want with him. It's easy for you to form a clique, be it personal, corruption, or even plotting against powerful officials!"

"Since there are so many benefits, I would like to ask the officials of this world who is still willing to teach the emperor the genuine goods and dry goods?"

"Why not mince? This is a thousand-year-old Chinese myth, but there are empress in Europe who have said the same thing. When someone said that people can't even afford the dirtiest black bread, the empress said why can't they eat cream cakes?"

"Are all the lords who say such words idiots with a negative IQ? Actually, that's not all. Many of them are not really stupid, but they really don't know what the people look like! "

"The officials made up a beautiful dream for them, allowing them to enjoy the peace and prosperity within …" "Or you could say …"

"It can be said that these monarchs are just fat pigs raised by the bureaucratic class. On the surface, everyone listens to you and is afraid of you, but once the country is eaten by worms, these fat pigs will be pushed out to take the blame for the revolution!"

"Isn't that a bit absurd? The entire bureaucratic class is the only empire with a hundred times more wealth than the royal family. But in the real revolution, the ones who took the blame were the king and queen! "

Xiao Letian had said that this theory was universal in both the east and west. Only one tenth of the wise monarchs could see through this scam and become the hero!

It was clear that Yi Suobeila was not one of the ten percent. When she ascended the throne, she was too young, and all her power was controlled by the powerful ministers, who clearly did not want to nurture a smart monarch who knew the truth.

Therefore, Yi Suobeila II did not even know how to govern a country. She had never even heard of the digitized analysis that Xiang Ying had mentioned before.

She had never been to the Philippines before. All his impressions of that colony came from the blurry travel photos and the distorted copper engravings created by the lousy landscape artist.

Today, the real Philippines has given the Queen a sense of sudden enlightenment, and she has learned a lot of facts about what used to be blurred and obscured by window paper.

The truth was extremely cruel. So the colony that he was in charge of turned out to be such a situation. According to one company, for example, it was a company that was about to go bankrupt.

In this era, European domination of the colonies was still very barbaric, backward, and cruel. Apart from the fact that Britain was interested in making a limited amount of investment in the colonies, the majority of the remaining European domination of the colonies was predominated by looting.

Especially the early colonists of Spain, the Portugal, the Netherlands and so on, they made a fortune by using trafficking in human beings and plundering resources as their main economic means.

After occupying the Philippines, the Spaniard had set her eyes on those resources that could be directly turned into wealth. Gold, silver, minerals, spices, rubber, precious stones … Especially non-renewable resources.

They plunder these resources and then transport them to Europe for sale, while collecting taxes on ships traded by sea and on the people of the colonies.

In the beginning, this primitive method of governance was still very effective. However, over the course of three hundred years, even the richest colony would not be able to withstand this kind of plundering.

The mines in the Philippines were drying up, and the production of gold and silver was increasing by the year!

There was also less business tax in Yuanyang, because there was a better market that could replace them, and the Chinese race had already appeared!

Non-renewable resources and trade taxes all fell sharply. They used to be 51% of the colonial government's income, but now they're down to 37%.

Worse still, the colonial administration was spending more and more on administration, the institutions were becoming more and more bulky, and there were too many people who were idle.

The worse the economy became, the worse the social order would become. This was inevitable!

And then the police would have to increase the number of policemen and soldiers, and that would be a huge expense!

This was how the financial crisis came about. Spending money like water was making less and less money, and the Spanish regular army could not even afford a rifle.

Xiang Ying sighed and took a small sip of the red wine, "Dear Queen, now do you understand the seriousness of the problem? I'm telling you that a real Philippine is trying to show you that what we're saying is not a lie, but what really happened! "

"The island you're ruling is really poor at the moment. The financial crisis is on the verge of bankruptcy!"

Just as the Queen was shocked, the female Attendant Su Shan retorted, "What you said might be true, but under three hundred years of rule, the population of the Philippines has grown countless of times!"

"How much has the civil tax increased? What about renewable resources? Rubber fields, spice farms, grain industry... Isn't that enough to cover the deficit? "

"Hehe, Mr. Xiang, your eloquence is really quite good. However, a wise Queen isn't so easily deceived!"

Hahaha … Xiang Ying laughed heartily, "That's right, I will soon come to the most important question!"
