Chapter 839 Demolition of the Roof and Opening the Windows ([-])

After the contact with Anthony was completed, Kang Bushao just quietly waited for things to ferment in Amsterdam.

On his desk, there are various newspapers and magazines published in the Netherlands in the past few days, and there are special people responsible for translation.

"Dutch Observer", "Philosopher", "The Source of Human Happiness", "Netherlands Editorial", etc. The most influential newspapers and magazines in the Netherlands in this era piled up on a table.

The news of the tragedy in The Hague has already spread, and the Netherlands is not very big.

In the Netherlands, after Liu Yu left, there was a wave of editorial magazines.After Liu Yu's "yellow" tabloid was banned, a large number of imitations began to appear.

And because of the decline of the Netherlands, many people of insight and elites are thinking about why the Netherlands is declining and where the future of the Netherlands lies.

In fact, before Liu Yu started those tabloids, the form of "anonymous editorial" originated in the UK had already become popular in the Netherlands.

This is determined by the economic foundation. Business is developed, there are many idlers, and the proportion of the middle-class population is large. Editorials are easy to spread in this form.It's like the Confucian society in Dashun. The things they write, when separated, are actually considered editorials. They are a class that has money and leisure and also takes the world as its own responsibility.

These things are all written anonymously. Although the Netherlands also has publishing controls, in fact the power is in the hands of the regents in various cities, and of course things that are beneficial to them will be ignored.

Kang Buxiu didn't know that these magazines were not owned by Anthony's family, but by real writers in the Netherlands.

After the translator had translated all these things, Kang Bulao turned a few pages and felt that the big deal was done.

All of this was used to criticize the consul, and there were basically all directions he expected.

Whether it's inciting hatred against the British, or against an uncrowned monarchy, it's all here.

Moreover, obviously, many anonymous authors were loyal readers of the yellow tabloids back then.

The skills of yin and yang strange energy, outputting emotions, and instigating chaos have already learned the essence of seven points.There are a few articles that, when read, can make people want to clench their fists and teeth sour, and immediately smash the consul's mansion in The Hague.

Kang Buxio only thought it was Anthony and the others' means, and thought that something serious would happen to the Netherlands if it seemed to be brewing for a few more days.

The general direction of things is almost as he expected.

It's just that, in the details, something is faintly wrong.

A few days later, the wind direction of a large number of editorials began to change. From the initial output of emotions, it gradually changed to a basically unified tone.

"Is this going to treat the symptoms?"

A few days later, after reading a bunch of newly published anonymous editorials, Kang Buya vaguely felt that something was wrong.

A few days ago, there were still a large number of articles that were purely outputting emotions.

And now there are more than half of these piled on the table, all of which lead the problem to the "consul system" itself.

It seems that this is a perfect opportunity to use this opportunity to directly abolish the Consul system and the centralization of the federal provinces.

For more than half of the articles, the most frequently used words are two.

free.

virtue.

On the contrary, no one really cares about the dozen or so people who died back then.

Kang did not slacken reading a few articles, and felt more and more that the taste was not right.

Almost all of these articles are advocating the autonomy of provinces and cities?This is completely different from what he imagined, when the Dutch people were so angry that they directly overthrew the rule of William of Orange.

If Dashun wants to cooperate with the Netherlands, it needs a strong Dutch government.Can the original inter-provincial parliament, which is not used for talking, solve various problems of cooperation between the two countries?
After holding a meeting for two or three years, nothing was discussed. With such efficiency, how can we cooperate?

At that time, whether to open trade with Dashun will have to be discussed for three to five years, and the cucumber dish may be cold.

Kang Bushao now sincerely hopes that the current consul of the Netherlands is a person who can say what he says, like Louis XV and Queen Elizabeth.If you decide to cooperate with Dashun, you will carry out your will and get things done quickly.

The current direction of incitement is not right.

Moreover, I have to say that there are indeed masters here.

There were a few paragraphs in it, which made Kang Buxio feel that the means of sophistry were indeed not low.

[The monarch and the country cannot coexist. 】

[Once there is a monarch, the characteristics of the country will be replaced by the monarch's preferences.The characteristics of a nation or country are either aggressive, conservative, cowardly, or open.And all of these, after having a monarch, whether it is aggressive, conservative, cowardly or pioneering, are the characteristics of the monarch himself. 】

[When the monarch replaces the country, does the country exist or not? 】

[For example, the empires in the East, they once had sailing explorations earlier than Columbus, but soon gave up the whole of Southeast Asia.So, is China's national character conservative or pioneering? 】

[This does not depend on their nationality or country, but depends on the emperor's personal preferences. 】

[Pioneering and conservatism cannot coexist. It cannot be said that the national character of the eastern empire is both conservative and pioneering.It's like you can't say that something is both true and false.Because the two contradict each other. 】

[The two are contradictory and cannot coexist, so it can be proved from this: either, there is no nation in that empire; The moment is gone. 】

[Just like the national character of our Dutch nation, it is a virtue of freedom that is unique and completely different from the whole world.And when we also have a monarch, our nationality is replaced by the characteristics and preferences of the monarch. 】

[Everyone's free will dissipates and becomes the monarch's flesh and blood, which is used to achieve the monarch's personal preferences and personal will. 】

[When a de facto monarch appears in the Netherlands, it can be said that at that moment, the Netherlands nation has perished. 】

[If the Dutch nation is destroyed, then the Republic of the Netherlands will no longer exist. 】

[It can be proved from the above that the monarch, the country and the nation cannot coexist. 】

These are some that Kang Busiao can understand, and there are some things that are derived from theology, divine purpose, etc. After translation, Kang Busiao can recognize all the words, but it is difficult to interpret them together. .

Excluding this part of theological content, what follows is the national virtue of the Netherlands in general.

What freedom, nobility, simplicity, integrity, giving up self-interest for the benefit of the group... etc., almost all the commendatory words in Dutch have been added.

After general empty talk, he said that the noble national virtues of the Netherlands have been polluted, tarnished, and corroded, so that most people do not possess the original virtues of the Netherlands.

This is of course due to the cultural invasion of France, as well as the degeneration of virtue caused by the centralization of power by the consuls in the era of William II and William III.

To purify the virtues of the Netherlands, the first step is to abolish the real consuls in power and remove the influence of France.

This cannot guarantee the restoration of the virtues of the Dutch nation, but it can guarantee that it will not continue to degenerate.

How can the virtue of the Dutch nation be restored?This requires virtuous people to lead the Netherlands and elect virtuous people who can benefit the public.

Due to the degradation of the virtues of the Dutch nation due to centralization and the influence of France, very few people can possess all of the virtues of the Dutch nation. So how can we effectively select people with true Dutch national virtues?

This requires limiting the identity of the electees.

First of all, you must be rich, and your family property must be at least [-] dong.

Because the poor must be lazy because they are lazy, and this is not the virtue of the Dutch nation.Since he is poor, it proves that the virtue of the Dutch nation does not exist in him, and he cannot guide the virtue of the Dutch nation.

Moreover, the poor must be greedy, and greedy people cannot benefit the public good, and greedy people will definitely consider their own self-interest more, trying to enrich their property from public utilities.

If Judas had 30 silver coins, at least he would not have betrayed Jesus for [-] silver coins.Therefore, there is no doubt that the moral standard of the rich is higher than that of the poor.

Secondly, those who are eligible to be elected must donate a sum of money to some public welfare causes.

Whether a person can benefit the public after being elected is a future that no one knows.

However, if he does not do charity or donate money to public welfare causes on weekdays.

Will he, then, have the public good in mind when he is elected regent?
... After waiting for a lot of restrictions, the author of this article said that according to these conditions, a large number of regents are selected, which is the most perfect system.

Because there is only one consul, the influence is huge.

And if there are a lot of regents, because everyone is elected, everyone's influence is not great, and they check and balance each other.

In this way, even if these people want to seek personal gain for themselves, they will be restricted by others...

Every city must have a large group of regents, and each province must also have a large group of regents. The inter-provincial parliament only needs to exist during wars and coordinate the relationship between the various provinces.

Seeing this, he finally laughed at Kang Bushao.Although it is not easy for Xin Dao to say harsh words, the person who wrote this article must have a family fortune of around [-] dong... Wouldn't it be more virtuous to have a million dong?Why not set a limit of one million?
Now the Netherlands is already in a mess. If it really happens like this, wouldn't it be completely over?
I thought again, sure enough, the east and west are the same.

People in the court say all day long that if they want to govern the country, they must be close to virtuous officials and keep away from villains, and use upright people.Who is a virtuous minister and who is a person of integrity naturally has a set of standards, and this set of standards can just fit myself into it...

After laughing, I originally thought about this matter with Dashun's political correctness of "emphasizing righteousness over profit", thinking that this could not be someone deliberately blackmailing the Republican faction, right?

Anti-loyalty?
This is similar to the selection of officials in Dashun, where the necessary family property is more than 1000 hectares of land, and it is said that if there is more than 1000 hectares of land, there will be no corruption?This will definitely cause an uproar. Although many people think so, it is absolutely politically incorrect in Dashun, and no one can say it.

But after thinking about it carefully, based on my observations in the Netherlands these days, I realized that this should not be anti-loyalty, but the same as some thinking in Dashun that the Dutch can’t understand. This is a kind that the Dutch basically recognize. Ideas are not reversed.

Seeing this, Kang Bushao was a little restless.

I wondered what the hell Anthony and the others were doing?
How did it become like this?
Directly inciting emotions to drive away William of Orange is the fastest solution, and it will not cause long-term chaos.

The long-term chaos is not conducive to the smuggling business of Dashun and the Netherlands. The Netherlands only needs to change the consul, rather than abandon the current inter-provincial country.

If we do this, wouldn't there be chaos soon?

This is not good.

The more I think about it, the more I get angry, but I have no power to do it.When the tabloids were not banned, he could completely control the direction of public opinion, write the pen himself, and definitely lead the issue in the direction he wanted.

It's a pity that the tabloids have been banned now, and without the tools of incitement, we can only worry about it.

"Anthony, what are you doing? Will you do it?"
