……

……

Fifty or sixty of the eloquent articles, the most important ones are placed behind, while the seemingly ridiculous things are in front.

At this time, the country was always a combination of contradictions between various classes. Chen Jian tried his best to mediate the relationship between several parties, and finally completed the first national meeting with the participation of parties before the closing ceremony.

Many things hidden behind have been brought to the surface. If there were no restrictions in the first few articles, those big land owners and big families in the north would not agree.

What they care most about is their land rent, and whether the crops grown on their land can bring them income.

It is said that some people are already planning to take advantage of the opportunity of changing wheat to cotton in many places, hoard a sum of grain, or dig river embankments to flood farmland to make a fortune.

Chen Jian also tried his best to resist. He couldn't show it on the bright side, so he could only quickly promote crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

All kinds of planting manuals bypass Xuegong Agricultural College, and are sold everywhere at extremely low prices.

Similarly, if Chen Jian did not come up with the production methods of crucible steel and flintlock guns, those families who controlled the military workshop would also require Nanyang Trading Company to purchase their matchlock guns.

Similarly, the hardwood used by Nanyang Trading Company must also be provided by several monopolized northern timber mills.

It seems that there are many unreasonable places, but there is also room for improvement.

It will take time to tell many people in this group how much the outside world has influenced this group, so many things are not perfect at this time.

The Ministry of Rites doesn't know how to deal with the outside world. Their only previous experience is in the Northern Houbo Kingdom, which is within the system.

The Ministry of War does not know the size, army, guns, and tactics of those countries; the Ministry of Households has not finalized bills such as customs tariffs; the jurisdiction of immigration or colonies has no experience, and I don't know where to start.

But anyway, I finally tried to look outside.

Regarding the discussion of the colony, Chen Jian also won the condition that the Great Deserted City is an immigrant place rather than a colony, which can be regarded as a model to avoid future colonial independence incidents.

What the colonial independence event requires is that the handicraft industry is extremely developed, and when a broad market is needed, the colonies are strictly prohibited from developing industries to ensure dumping.

It seems that those people have not considered this aspect yet.There are not many industrial and commercial members in the council, and even if there are some monopoly families, the domestic market can already satisfy them.As long as the food, salt and other things in the immigrant areas do not affect their interests, Chen Jian finally won the special status of the Great Deserted City.

It seems that there is only food there now, but it won't take long for handicrafts and industries to develop, and the specific policies will have to wait until the future to argue with these people.

And presumably at that time, a bourgeois revolution caused by profit distribution and other reasons had already broken out, otherwise industry and commerce would not have such a big say.

The major factor for the independence of the colonies is, in the final analysis, economic reasons.

Chen Jian felt that at this moment, he had reached the pinnacle of what a small person in the old era could achieve. At least in this fleet sailing around the world, he was granted the right to execute on the fly by the council and the king. It was really the pinnacle moment.

But this peak moment was not only won by himself, but also won by many people with various means.

The influence of the outside world does not always explode suddenly.When they intersect with each other, there will always be sparks that have never been seen before, and new ideas will gradually merge.

No.17 Chapter Capital Rain

When we were about to leave the capital, it rained heavily.

autumn rain.

It is not as impatient as a summer rainstorm, nor is it as moisturizing as a spring rain.

icy.

Seven or eight people sat by a spacious square, because of the autumn rain, there were no people around.

There are several pine poles on the square, with ropes tied to them.

If there is wind, it will definitely swing around like a wind chime.But there is only autumn rain, so it hangs down, and the noose above is also pulled into an oval.

"Chen Jian, those comrades were hanged here. At that time, Er Feng was too heavy and the rope broke."

This is about us, not us.

The person who spoke raised a glass of wine, mixed with the autumn rain, and splashed it on the ground.

The drinker has just been released from prison for promoting some radical things, and has proof of his involvement in an assassination and agitating the poor to fight against unreasonable taxes.

Unless one hides one's name, one will no longer be able to set foot on this land as a true Chinese, and can only be exiled to the Great Deserted City.

After pouring the wine, he poured another glass from the jug and handed it to Chen Jian.

"Is it reasonable?"

Suddenly asked Chen Jian, Chen Jian was silent for a long time and said, "It's unreasonable."

"Thank you."
