161 Just make your eyes shine

Seeing Zheng Abao spitting, his eyes were full of fierceness, and his mouth was full of abuse. The official just smiled and picked up the cup to drink tea slowly. He knew in his heart that as both developed, he immediately began to be jealous and hatred of each other. The eunuch called the eunuch too low and the eunuch saw the eunuch too shameless. However, for the emperor and the court, both of them were their own fingers, one was the left hand and the other was the right hand, and both hands were indispensable.

Although the comprador group is very weak in diplomacy to the great powers. At this level, it will lose national interests; on the other hand, as the link between the West and the Song Dynasty, they will naturally train their business skills in business, introduce advanced technology and management concepts, which can lead the development of business culture.

They introduced commercial capital, science and technology from overseas that the State of Song developed the urgently-deficient economy, and helped the great powers to establish completely localized factories and commerce in the local area. If enough capital of the great powers was introduced in one place, it would be beneficial to national security, because this was the defensive shield equivalent to a hostage.

Whether it is a conflict between the Qing and other local countries and the Song State, or a friction between the great powers and other countries and the Song State, if Song State has a lot of capital, the great powers tend to be peaceful policies: if Britain wants to go to war with Song State, the spokesperson of the Opium Trust in parliament will inevitably strongly oppose the war, and the British businessmen invested in Song State will inevitably also strongly oppose extreme measures; and if Song State starts a war with a third party, such as Song Qing starts another war, the great power merchants will tend to support Song State, which is closely linked to their interests. Even if Song State makes unreasonable fuss, they will turn a blind eye to Song State, which bullies;

On this level, the national interests of the Song State were defended.

In this sense, it is better to say that the comprador is a traitor than a traitor, and he is the emperor's child care, and he gets a lot of money and hostages.

But if a country's economy is dominated by compradors or officials' supervision and business offices, this will not work.

The economic structure dominated by the comprador is equivalent to His Majesty the Emperor becoming the governor of the great powers, making money for their merchants, and eliminating the unemployment rate for their factories, and the country's blood will be wiped out;

The economy dominated by the government supervision and business office is equivalent to the loss of all vitality of the country's private economy. This economic structure is not necessarily dead, but it is only suitable for the culture of Prussia or Japan that emphasizes extreme order and esteeism, and requires absolute authority and whip. For the traditional Confucian culture of the Song Dynasty, which was originally full of monkey nature and was honored for nothing, this structure will lead to the stagnation and even regression of the private economy, and the official supervision and business office economy will completely turn back into the official economy.

This situation has happened in the Qing Dynasty: the Qing Dynasty has liberated the people to establish Western technology factories for a period of time. The Qing Dynasty was not foolish, and there were many capable people. For a while, the people of the people were blooming. Textile factories, match factories, and foreign nail factories all rose. However, with the official Westernization Movement led by the Qing court, the number of private enterprises decreased sharply: general enterprises were squeezed out by large officials; well-developed enterprises were seized by Qing officials and disagree with the government-owned investment? Don’t say that your company will die, your family will be destroyed;

The above two kinds of weak extremes relying on foreign economic structure will also make the merchants of the great powers have a bigger appetite, from making big money to making all the money away. If they are not careful, the merchants of the great powers who have filled their pockets with gold and silver in the Song Dynasty will shout in the parliament that there are more and more demands for the weak Song Dynasty, and even launch a war of conquest.

It is not wrong to pay the protection fee when you grow fat, but if you grow fat, you don’t even have a horn or fang to defend yourself. That is a domestic fat pig that will be cooked one day.

Therefore, at the national economic level, the Haihuang needs comprador merchants to "scaught" wealth, technology, and experience "child care", but they cannot rely solely on "child care", so that sooner or later, they will be given their old nest by the "global police" and black gold will be incurred.

The Sea Emperor also needs local merchants from his own country, and this group of people is naturally the mortal enemy of the merchants of the great powers.

What is interesting is that local businessmen often work hard in the field of free competition, but in the economic field, they are completely xenophobic and firmly oppose comprehensive free competition, hoping to establish economic barriers, dominate the East Asian market, and at least dominate the Song market.

Therefore, they are even a bit unrealistic and tough in diplomacy. They always think that they will negotiate economic conditions in various unequal treaties with the great powers now, and at least they will have to recover the power to formulate tariffs of 100? The power of the Song State is definitely not so strong, so their views are always ridiculed by the comprador and ridiculed as being able to speak out and performing a patriotic actor. It is useless.

However, although it is unrealistic, weak, and very serious in performance, this group of people are in the eyes of the Sea King: the horns of the buffalo, the fangs of the wild boar's mouth, and even the skunk's fart sacs, used to defend themselves in the global jungle economy.

When the compradors fattened the little thin cow in Song State, the horns should grow out

Of course, if one day, the local merchants can be on par with the powerful merchants of the great powers or compliments, then the comprador will inevitably be compared to the little mouse, and there is no difference between the comprador and the local merchant;

However, at this moment, the Song State must have been among the great powers, and this situation may be a long time ago.

In addition, the compradors had another advantage that the emperor wanted, that is, they could not only introduce capital, technology and business management systems, but also introduced the concept of the rule of law in Western Christian culture.

Some compradors who rely on the power of the great powers to act alone naturally do not have this function. However, even when the big enterprises opened by the great powers in the State of Song, the compradors of the Song State in the Oceanic Bank had to adhere to the business culture and the concept of the rule of law of foreign companies. When encountering commercial competition, the company did not give him bribes or insufficient money, he could not compete with the local gangsters, but he knew the inside story and immediately turned to report it. Then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Song Dynasty often received protests from the consuls of the great powers.

In other words, this is a conflict between the Western Christian culture of fair competition and the rule of law culture on the traditional Qing culture of the Song Dynasty, which is an inevitable conflict.

After all, the State of Song was just over ten years old. Even if local merchants believed in Christ, they had to surrender to the powerful traditional culture in their culture, and do everything they could to do, bribe, give gifts, go through the back door, and build relationships. Anyway, they were seeking shortcuts and despising integrity and trampling on others' freedoms.

Therefore, the merchants of the Song Dynasty were like fish in the Qing Dynasty, and they could get all kinds of business and projects. The reason was that the Qing Dynasty culture encouraged them to do this unjust behavior.

However, this victory made the emperor worried because his eyes were not limited to the Chinese cultural circle, but were eager to become stronger and compete with Japan, the "New Qin Kingdom" with feudal and commercial cultural heritage, and the old-fashioned power Tsarist Russia. It was not that everything would be fine if the fat pig Qing Kingdom was solved. On the contrary, the Qing Kingdom was solved with a burden and Japan was fighting with Japan for twenty years.

The emperor was worried that the merchants of Song State were greedy and corrupt. On the other side, the Qing Dynasty was invincible in siege, they could not stand up in business operations in European and American countries with strict laws. Even if the Song State was in Europe and the United States, they could only engage in physical service industries without creativity and IQ content. The main business of "Songren Street" in the US cluster area was restaurants and ironing clothes, and even opium halls and casinos. When they encountered some strict law enforcement and IQ competition, they were immediately beaten like shit by foreign competitors.

The rule of law culture can only come from the faith of Jesus Christ:

1 If you are not afraid of God, you are fearless. Fearlessness is an advantage to your own kind. However, when you encounter a racial culture, a fearless race is like shit. The race that is united is a hedgehog. They are fearless and thorns are growing upside down. If you till their own flesh, they will naturally be dispersed.

2 Christianity is a religion that instills the concept of the rule of law. The Ten Commandments in the Old Testament are the Christian Constitution. Jesus in the New Testament is as wise as a lawyer: Back then, the Jews wanted to frame Jesus, so they brought a woman who was caught to see Jesus and asked what to do. This is a huge trap:

At that time, the Jewish state had been ruled by Rome. As a ruled nation, they lost the right to interrogate and kill people and had no right to impose the death penalty on their own criminals. Therefore, Jesus was later sentenced to the cross and was a judgment made by Roman officials, and the Jews could not kill Jesus himself.

In this way, if Jesus said, "Slay the woman with stones; - He committed Roman sins; if Jesus said, "Don't kill her," He violated the law of his own clan Moses.

But Jesus said, "Whoever has no sin, can come and smash her with the first stone." The Jews were stunned for a long time and left one by one. Jesus said to the woman, "I may not condemn you, go, and don't sin again in the future."

This is actually the procedural justice of future laws.

Because the procedure of the case itself is illegal.

In terms of the Law of Mases: (1) The woman who performed|yin will be stoned to death, but she cannot be killed by only one person. She must be equal to men and women, and she must be beaten to death with her. In other words, the stone of sin will inevitably kill a man and a woman or two men. The Jews only bring one woman to ask for execution is a violation of the law;

(2) The person who uses the first stone to smash the criminal, according to the law, cannot be any person, but must be a witness. That is, you see and hear the two actions |yin, you catch them, and you will hit someone with the first stone. Therefore, Jesus' requirement that "whoever is innocent will be the first to smash it" has a dual meaning: one is a witness; the other is a witness who violates the requirements of the law; if the witness smashes a woman but he does not bring a man who does the act|yin, this is a sin; because of the procedure injustice, there is no witness in this case at all, which means that no one has the qualifications to witness: Where do you see a woman who can do it yourself and yourself|yin.

(3) Jesus did not say that the woman was guilty or innocent, but said: For this case, it may be that because the case procedure itself violated the law of Mosaic and lacked valid evidence and practice, the second criminal must be released in court.

The Bible is generally like this, it has a lot of meaning and has profound meanings, and contains the current European and American legal norms and humanistic spirit. Therefore, the Bible can and must nurture the culture of rule of law. For Christians: there is God on the head, a constitution in their hearts (two major principles of loving God and loving others), and a law in their hands (the Bible).

However, the first time the Christian culture of the Song Dynasty was born, there was no long-term cultural accumulation in Europe and the United States and the accumulation of legal and moral norms of biblical secularization.

The rule of law culture is highly valued in the eyes of the Emperor of the Sea.

Because a rotten culture will inevitably give birth to a rotten society. No matter how much money a rotten business makes, it will save for others. Tsarist Russia, Japan, even Britain, France and the United States will easily take away the gold coins buried by your powerless and corrupt zombie.

The rule of law culture fundamentally comes from the Bible, and the introduction of rule of law culture and the translation and decoding of different languages, the most direct person and translator disseminator is the current comprador merchant of the Song State.

Because the comprador is from Song, with yellow-skinned and dark-eyed eyes, but he must act according to the Western style, he can easily spread his views and experiences to his compatriots in Chinese. For example, Zhong Jialiang soon became a "big master" introduced by Western political science. Because his industry and the merchants of the great powers were closely divided, the business he negotiated often became face to face with the British government and the Song court. So he first heard of the parliament, and first experienced foreign friends because of the arrogance of the parliament, and first envied the merchants who controlled the parliament, so he was ahead of other tycoons in concept and was favored by this.

If you change to the local tycoons, who cares about the parliament? Taking the Zheng brothers as an example, what they calculate every day is what the emperor thinks of me, which mountain can be used in the army, who has something to do with me, how much does it take to get Li Hongzhang's order, etc.

Although local merchants are very energetic, they do not have the ability to experience and promote Christian culture based on traditional culture.

Taking the founding of the United States as an example, American businessmen believe that the Emperor infringed on their culture of "no taxation without representation" (or rights), so that they picked up guns and founded the country; then when they were placed in the local businessmen of Song, although they might not be satisfied with their over-taxes, they could not unite because the guns were shot, and they hope that others would stand up for themselves and count the money themselves;

Moreover, they would secretly go to tax collectors or British governors to give some bribes and reduce their own taxes. The officials and merchants benefited, so who would pay the tax? Only moral merchants who really do things according to the law would pay the tax.

For a long time, paying more taxes than "smart people" will greatly reduce the competitiveness of "moral stupid eggs". Soon, this culture will exterminate "moral stupid eggs", leaving only "lawless and absolutely free smart people" to jump around, and the destruction of the former will be destroyed together with morality.

However, it was this group of "moral fools" who created the United States of America, the world's second largest economy. The group of "lawless and absolutely free" in Song State will be the eternal loyal slaves of the Queen of Great Britain.

The reason why the Haihuang did not like "smart people" became mainstream in the business world is very simple. With this kind of culture, it will feed officials and profiteers and kill "stupid eggs". If the economic vitality on his territory declines, just give gifts, who will still study innovation and quality? This will lead to the Haihuang's own pockets being empty and his economic competitiveness is extremely weak.

It can also corrupt all aspects of the country from business to administration and education, so that in the future, it may face Tsarist Russia, Japan and even the Qing Dynasty will have to "transfer" it. In that way, the State of Song will transform from a young man who is dormant and waiting to swallow the world in one fell swoop into a poorer than garbage.

Therefore, based on his fear of strong enemies and troubled times, in order to defend his family business, the King of Monkey King was treacherous and cruel, but he fought desperately with the Monkey Group culture, and even set the purpose of the Liberal Party as "eliminating freedom". He understood that the "freedom understood by the Monkey Group under tradition" was definitely not the "freedom of Christians" imported from the West, but in fact it was after they changed the concept - the monkeys themselves "traditional freedom". Traditional freedom has repeatedly brought this race into a terrible place where "no freedom" has been brought to a terrible place. Although they don't care about the life or death of the monkeys, who said that they are the director of the monkey group breeding farm?

Therefore, both parties have their own uses, pros and cons, for the Emperor of the Sea:

The Democratic Party represents the country’s key short-term interests and is beneficial to the country and the people. It must exist. The evolution of domestic culture is used to measure whether they are in power;

The Liberal Party represents the long-term key interests of the country and the people, and must develop vigorously on the track it sets itself, and also uses the degree of de-Tsaithization of commercial culture as the criterion for whether it should gain power;

at the same time,

The Democratic Party will use it to correct the liberal Party’s tendency to corrupt business culture, and to obtain the security of the great powers’ sense of the emperor through its close cooperative relationship with the great powers, so as to expand the international diplomatic advantages of the Song Dynasty and the pioneer advantages introduced by the Western learning in East Asia, and promote the popularization and dissemination of truly imported Christian culture in the Song Dynasty in the political and economic fields;

The Liberal Party will be used to correct the Democratic Party’s weakness in diplomatic and international economic competition, enhance its national strength, gain greater competitive advantages and diplomatic freedom at home and abroad with strength, and to improve the status of merchants again, and at the same time, use Christian conservatism to suppress the traditional Qing culture of the country;

When appeaseing the great powers, the emperor could sacrifice the Democratic Party and say, "I have seen that I have always protected your interests in our country."

When testing sexually assaulting the commercial interests of the great powers, the emperor could offer the Liberal Party and said, "I can't do anything. The boys in China are aggressive and insist on revising the contract, and they have to add a little tariff for the products. Forget it, you will lose some money, but it will help us and your overall interests. After all, my stable rule is actually the guarantee of your interests."

When dealing with the Qing Dynasty, if the emperor was scheduled to "regional conflict", he would use the Liberal Party as a fig leaf to tell the great powers: "I don't want to defeat the Qing Dynasty, but the people in the country are full of grievances, and I have to force me to send troops." When the peace is fast, he told the domestic country: "If the Liberal Party hadn't stopped me, I would have smashed the Qing Dynasty. Who told me to love the people as much as my son? The Liberal Party wants to make money and live, let's be peaceful."

If you really want to play big things and want to cede land and pay compensation, Dake puts a Democratic puppet on his hand and said with a depressed look: "I really want to maintain the current pattern in the Far East and truly respect the territorial sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty. But, you know, the domestic public is full of grievances, and it is in your and my interests to hand over the city to us into a free trade zone..."

All the corrections to the weaknesses of the two will be to file each other and leave the pain of polishing them to themselves. The emperor just winks, and they will understand howl and bite each other; all the advantages will be controlled by the emperor and become the cards that the great powers can play in his hand against the country, and will become more and more powerful.
