New Shun 1730

Does this mean that these people are all a bunch of "insects"? There are no good people in Hongdong County?

Are there no people who really fight for the interests of specific people, the poor, the landless farmers, etc.?

Even Thomas Paine, who wrote "Common Sense", was cut off by his best friend and exiled to France because of his words: "A small group of wealthy Virginia land speculators, including the Washington, Lee and Randolph families, used this royal charter to investigate and claim ownership of large tracts of land, including many lands west of the 13 colonies. But in fact, according to the public interest, these lands should belong to the US government represented by the Continental Congress." In the end, not even a prominent person attended the funeral.

Not only that, the body was not found, the grave was flattened, and the body was dug up and has not been found to this day.

That's conceivable.

What exactly did Stephen Hopkins say "at the cost of only 100,000 lives" in exchange for?

Freedom?

So what exactly does this abstract concept mean?

Specifically for each person, for example, specifically for Hancock, what freedom did he want? It was to buy French sugar, sell New England wine, and buy slaves from West Africa.

Specifically for Washington, what freedom did he want? It was his investment in the Ohio Company and the land west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Specifically for Henry Middleton, what freedom did he want? It was the money he owed to Scottish bankers, and he didn't want to repay it with silver, but wanted to repay it with unanchored paper money, but the British government didn't allow it.

What Dashun had to do was "don't sing high-sounding words" but "talk about specific interests", and the essence was to concretize the contradictions.

This also cracked the key point grasped by Samuel Adams, the first propagandist in North America: don't talk about specific interests, talk about abstract words; don't talk about specific conditions, talk about abstract freedom.

The key to Samuel Adams's skills lies in "adapting to local conditions".

Its basis is that Britain's policies in history have harmed the interests of a large number of capitalists, landlords, and land speculators in North America.

And in the subsequent post-war depression and the financial collapse and bankruptcy wave of the European economic crisis in 1971, a large number of urban petty bourgeoisie who were directly impacted and the most economically vulnerable were attracted. They were much more vulnerable to risks than farmers with land in North America. They were the "first-knowing ducks of the warm spring river" of monetary policy.

The ban on unanchored paper money directly led to deflation in North America, and a large number of shoemakers, leather workers, brewers, etc. could not survive.

Once this foundation is gone, this set of things will be too empty and unable to exert sufficient power.

Now, Dashun's approach is to complete the differentiation of the upper class in North America through specific interests, so that they cannot unite under an abstract banner.

This banner is called anti-British.

This abstract collection is called Britain.

But what are the specific things against? Dashun is cracking them one by one.

Since Virginia's interests are on the land in the west, it is useless to pull it no matter how, so just don't pull it.

Since Franklin's illegitimate son has been appointed as the Governor of New Jersey, Dashun can welcome Franklin to attend the meeting as a bridge between North America and Britain.

As long as there is room for exorbitant demands and low returns, then this matter can be discussed.

This matter can be discussed. The sooner it is discussed and the sooner the North American violence mechanism is built, the sooner Dashun can start the immigration plan, and the sooner the new Yellow River road, which may take ten or even twenty or thirty years, can be built, to avoid the flood in North China caused by the Yellow River bursting and flooding due to the elevation of the south.

This North American violence mechanism is used to capture people in New England and maintain the border.

You can't count on the French. The French are living a decent life, and it is definitely impossible to expect the French to move enough people to ensure a balance of power.

And the current situation is very favorable to Dashun's goals.

Because, although the economic base determines the superstructure, it cannot be determined mechanically. Will Dashun achieve the desired result by clearing up the conflict of interests? Not necessarily.

Now the British side asked Franklin to act as a bridge, as a bargaining communicator between North America and Britain, which is quite favorable to Dashun in at least several aspects.

Franklin's own political inclinations need not be mentioned.

In addition to political inclinations, Franklin is not only a politician, but also a scientist.

This is not to say that because of this, or because of the things Liu Yu tinkered with in Dashun Academy of Sciences, Franklin would have a "fawning" mood, so that he felt that Dashun's ideas were all right.

Of course it is not that simple.

However, the existence of Dashun Academy of Sciences and the things Liu Yu tinkered with, as the "personality" of Dashun when he walked out of the background painting, did help at this time.

Let's not talk about the thunder and lightning story.

Dashun Academy of Sciences hired Euler as a foreign academician.

On the question of whether light is a particle or a wave, Euler supports Huygens's theory that "light is a wave".

Franklin also supported it, and because of the great reputation of Sir Niu, Franklin and Euler were in the minority.

Believe that light is a wave.

But how to prove it?

Dashun Academy of Sciences "designed" a very small experiment.

Double-slit interference.

Thus, the theory that light is a wave was finally verified experimentally, and it was completed at the Dashun Academy of Sciences.

This has little to do with whether it will increase Franklin's favorability.

Rather, it is the "Dashun personality" created by Liu Yu. Through similar things, Dashun's personality is engraved with the word "science".

Since this "personality" is scientific and rational.

Then, is "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus" that has been circulated from Dashun scientific?

Does it conform to rational inference?

The moment Dashun, a country, walked out of the "background board", its personality was fixed.

And Liu Yu has been strengthening this personality.

From this personality, "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus, which was circulated by Dashun, which is scientific and rational, is naturally also scientific and rational", which is very logical.

Since Franklin was a scientist and talked about science, then this book, "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus", which was covered with a very scientific skin and blessed with a halo of personality, naturally convinced Franklin.

And Franklin actually went to Ireland.

He witnessed with his own eyes the misery of Ireland under the mercantilist policy of the United Kingdom.

Therefore, he was sure that this set of British policies would definitely end.

It would neither bring about a technological revolution nor make Britain strong, but would only slowly decay and eventually fall into the same situation as Ireland.

On the contrary, Dashun's set of Wealth of Nations 2.0 made a lot of sense.

Through shock, relying on the invisible hand, all unreasonable industries in North America and Britain were cleared up, so that Britain and North America could find industries that they were really good at and industries with advantages, and only then would there be a future.

And this set of things just solved the demands of many big businessmen in North America.

And the method given to Dashun of "Dashun collecting tariffs on behalf of others and distributing tariffs according to sales" was technically feasible.

Therefore, Franklin personally strongly supports the prescription that Dashun gave to Britain, and believes that it is scientific, rational, and future-oriented.
