open sea

Chapter 631
Chen Mu knew that Xiao En's journey across the ocean was driven by a sense of crisis in his heart, but he didn't expect that it was actually a sense of crisis about the political system.

But I have to say that Xiao En is thinking in the right direction. After a long time, there will be a bourgeois revolution in Europa.

In terms of political system, Chen Mu believes that he still has a great say. He feels that he may see the suffering of Ireland and England in his lifetime.

Because his country has tried almost all human polities.

The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty rioted, Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong ruled together, and implemented a short-lived republic.

The aristocratic government in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the great unified autocratic monarchy after the beginning of the Qin Dynasty; the new government in the late Qing Dynasty tried to establish a constitutional monarchy, but the constitution was even more chaotic; Yuan Shikai’s country was first a parliamentary cabinet system, and then a presidential system.

Later, the military council cabinet, Chiang Kai-shek's separation of powers and presidential system.

The method is a good method, and the system is a good system. If the timing is not right and the soil is different, it will naturally not bear good results.

Just as Earl Sean of Ireland wanted to emulate the Ming Dynasty and merge Ireland into Ming Dynasty, it would not be good if the Western political system was mechanically transferred to the East, and the whole of the East was moved to the West. Chen Mu didn't think it was a perfect solution.

But he doesn't care, what's the harm in other people's countries?

It's amazing, let's think of a way after we can't move.

"Mr. Xu, I heard from Sean that the price of woolen products in England has tripled in the past hundred years. The religious reform allowed England to recover one-sixth of the country's arable land after taking back the religious land. The land was used to raise sheep, and Queen Elizabeth successively promulgated the apprenticeship law and the artisan law to strengthen industry."

Chen Mu lay back on the rocking chair, holding a small porcelain bottle made by the Tianjin Porcelain Factory in his hand, filled with wolfberry green tea, swaying like an old man in a leisurely way.

He said to Xu Wei who buried his head in the desk in the hall: "I heard that their decree stipulates that apprentices must complete seven years of service before they can go out to work. What do you think?"

Xu Wei wore a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose. The frame was specially made by the iron factory to finely polish the skeleton with brass. , England will have a group of excellent craftsmen, why, the commander-in-chief also wants to implement this decree in Beiyang?"

Chen Mu put down the porcelain vase, and thought of being shaken on the rocking chair, he struggled a few times before getting up and said, "No, I think this is very bad."

"Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, more excellent craftsmen, these people understand technology, even if one in a million learns knowledge in later social work, they will be able to produce spontaneous improvements; moreover, excellent technology can allow them to build better ships , better firearms."

"Daming has such a vast land and so many people. Winning a naval battle and gaining an advantage in Nanyang will change the world so much. What's more, for a small country, they only need to win another battle to be reborn."

"It's scary to be reborn!"

"hiss……"

Xu Wei took a deep breath, seemed to be touched by Chen Mu's words, slowly took off his glasses and put them on the desk, put the two wide sleeves of the plain robe together, looked at Chen Mu with his hands in his hands, and muttered: " No, Commander, the old man thinks there is nothing wrong with England, but the Commander has a problem."

"Huh? My opinion."

Chen Mu looked around, frowned and said, "What's wrong with my opinion?"

Xu Wei sighed. Recently, the crazy old man also used a series of skin care products from Chen Mu. His dry skin was very rosy, and he looked like a 56-year-old young man.

He cleared his throat and said, "You are the commander-in-chief of the Celestial Dynasty, and you are also the Minister of the North and the East. You have soldiers and money under your command, and you talk about a little innovation in a small overseas country."

Xu Wei raised his sleeves and reached for his hands, "Can you not use the tone of a poor man in the village looking at someone else's house like a daughter-in-law? It's really... ouch."

Chen Mu was rendered speechless by Xu Wei's words. That was Britain, and the foundation of the empire on which the sun never sets that ruled the world was laid at this time. After sipping tea, he got up to find honey, and then said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry about my tone, I am a poor man in the village, and I just don't want others to marry young wives, what should I do, you are Master Shaoxing, please find a way."

Xu Wei listened happily, making Chen Mu wonder what the old maniac was going to do, and then he saw Xu Wei's expression as usual: "If the commander-in-chief is a poor man in the village, I'm afraid there is no way to do this, but you are obviously not. All the people have been found, why are you still pretending to be a poor man?"

"Xiyi has new and old grudges with England, and the relationship with me is not bad at present. The red-haired earl who loves Yiyi has his own ambition to establish a country, and he is very sincere in his heart of reverence for the heavenly dynasty. Since the commander has given the promise, Yingyi will come It’s not time to sit still.”

"Anything is foregone, or it is not forewarned. The three islands of Yingyi are small and small. If Aiyi rebels, there are only two islands left. The coast is very long, and the location is superior. Business is prosperous. As long as the commander is willing to pay the price, any reform can be abandoned halfway. "Xu Wei laughed as he spoke, "I hope you have a correct attitude. Jing Haibo is a well-known bully overseas. Don't think about being a poor man in the village. Daming doesn't have that life!"

"No, no, things are not as easy as Mr. Xu thought. Aiyi is fine. At least now Xiao En is willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but he may not be willing when he takes charge of the country."

"The biggest problem right now is this. Chen wants to be a bully, but he doesn't want to pay the price." Chen Mu spread his hands together and said, "I don't want to let me die too many soldiers for that land."

"If you want to pull the Spanish back, they should send troops nearby. If I remember correctly, Philip also bears the title of King of England on his head. It is easy to defeat the British and Yi, but it is very difficult to fight against the Western Yi later. Compared with us, Xiyi is nearby, and can organize a large number of troops to be transported to England."

Chen Mu shook his head and said: "What's more, even if Xiyi doesn't send troops, the local people will rebel against Xiao En at that time, and there will be endless rebellions. It is not enough to win them over."

"Fighting is one aspect. Although no one is afraid of fighting, it is not a long-term solution to spend a large number of elite troops there. We have to find ways from other places. At least the jobs of artisans and businessmen in the country will be ruined." Chen Mu raised his hand and tapped on the porcelain vase a few times, and said, "The north has to prepare a large amount of woolen products for me. It is a large amount. It is so large that their woolen merchants have completely lost confidence in the industry, and it is so large that it can even out prices."

"In addition to these things, there must be a special person in charge of this matter. Let Chang Ji write a letter on my behalf and transfer Huang Cheng from Haojing to wait for the pilot ship returning from Spain to return and set off with the army."

"Make them comfortable!"
