Chapter 640?This is the only way to make the British Empire great for another hundred years! (Please vote, please book)
The gilded gate of Buckingham Palace was slowly opening, and Moore heard the echo of his leather shoes stepping on the marble floor like a mirror. On the Indian mahogany cabinets on both sides of the corridor, the cloisonné vases presented by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were parallel to the portraits of British monarchs. Feng Yunshan's personal letter "All brothers in the world" was hung next to Queen Victoria's childhood portrait.
At the end of the Persian carpet in the living room, Queen Victoria sat upright on a Ming Dynasty Huanghuali Chair. Prince Albert was reading a book of "My Travels in Paradise" orally written by Xianfeng, and an English version of "The True Covenant" was placed on the table.
"Master Carl, please sit down!"
Before Wenxian began introducing Moore and Friedrich, the queen recognized "her teacher in heaven"
You must know it! Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui, Luo Yaoguo, Hong Xuanjiao and others all "know". How could Victoria not know it? If she can't remember anything from heaven, wouldn't it make her brain too stupid?
Seeing the Queen's attitude, Moore was increasingly suspicious of his "previous life" one by one, maybe it really happened!
Yang Xiuqing, Maria, Wei Changhui, Luo Yaoguo, Hong Xuanjiao, Feng Yunshan...:::.Now, there is another Queen Victoria!
These are all "gods in the world". We have discussed and fooled him together? This is illogical...
And after eliminating all the impossible, the only possibility is... there may be a civilization unknown to human beings that exists on this planet!
"Your Majesty, this is a joint letter from three thousand workers in the East London." Seeing that Moore seemed to be in deep thought, Friedrich placed a scroll of parchment on the coffee table in front of the Queen and Prince Albert, "They hope to obtain colonization rights in North America and Oceania."
Prince Albert picked up his cane and slashed his head three times on the ground. A servant unfolded the scroll and presented it to him and the queen with dense signatures. The prince picked up his glasses and looked at it for a while and shook his head: "I asked each person to allocate two hundred acres of land? There is no such precedent in the British Empire!"
"But there are large areas of unbordered land in North America." Friedrich took a half-step forward. "According to data from the Royal Geographic Society, the Quebec region alone can accommodate hundreds of thousands of immigrants. One is the premise that Her Majesty the Queen allocates the land there to the native British people for free!"
"Teacher Carl, what do you think?" Victoria asked Moore with a smile.
Moore hurriedly took back his thoughts and replied, "Your Majesty, if you don't want the poor in Britain to cultivate North America and Oceania, then...::.\n. The poor in other countries will fill it up there in the end!"
The queen brows lightly. She remembered that she received a report from the Governor of Hudson not long ago: The missionary land of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom led the paupers from China to open up at least 200,000 acres of fertile land in the wilderness on the west coast. More than 10,000 families of East Asian immigrants had already taken root in the jurisdiction of the Governor of Vancouver and established a "City of Heaven":::::. The land of the British Empire was occupied by 10,000 families of East Asian immigrants.
If she wants to take back the land there, she has to send troops to fight the armed Chinese immigrants...:::. In order to turn a rich land into useless wasteland, it is not worth fighting a huge war!
"But the population of Britain is not large!" Albert frowned. "If we encourage the poor to migrate to the colonies, the local area may experience a shortage of labor, which will cause considerable controversy."
The prince said it very tactfully. If the poor in Britain are all rich, their wages will rise, and capitalists will be unhappy! In addition, there are also developed "tenant-tenant agriculture" in Britain. It is the tenant-tenant-tenant land that rents the master.
The land in the UK is very concentrated. Thousands of landlords (including four hundred nobles) control most of the land in the UK, while most of the British farmers are tenants.
If all the tenants go to Canada and Australia becomes rich peasants, the landlords will be unhappy!
The consequences of capitalists and landlords being unhappy are serious!
How did Charles I lose his head?
"Your Majesty, Prince," Moore certainly understood Albert's thoughts, and he knew that these British masters were hopeless, but he would still spread the correct way to "save the empire" before the queen and the prince. "In fact, encouraging the poor British people to go to North America, Oceania to colonize these two empty colonies is the only way to make the British Empire continue to be great for more than a hundred years!"
"How do you say this?" Prince Albert frowned.
Moore asked back, "Prince, have you heard of overproduction?"
The charcoal fire in the fireplace crackled, and Prince Albert pushed the gold-rimmed glasses onto his nose: "Overproduction? You want to tell me that production has grown too fast with the advancement of technology, and the wages of workers are too low to consume all the goods they produce...:::. What do you call this surplus value?"
Moore took out the "East Travel" from his briefcase and he and Friedrich were sorted out on a steamer returning to England.
The draft was placed before Prince Albert: "Your Highness, this is what I have seen in Southeast Asia, China, and the United States...:::. Do you know what I saw there? I saw two countries that are rapidly industrializing! The size of these two countries is much larger than that of the British mainland! Among them, China has a population of more than 400 million, with a local area exceeding the entire European area, and sooner or later it will also hold Southeast Asia in its hands.
Although the territory of the United States is not as large as China, there is a vast plain there! And there is almost no country on the American continent that can be compared with the United States! In addition, although the population of the United States is far inferior to China, it continues to attract immigrants from Europe and will definitely grow into a large population country that can support a huge scale of industrial production in the future.
The industrialization of these two countries is unstoppable, and in the foreseeable future, it will definitely become a powerful industrialized country!
In addition, Russia is currently carrying out reforms to abolish serfdom...: It is a major country with a population of more than 60 million and a territory equivalent to two European countries. Once the serfdom is abolished, its industrialization trend will be unstoppable.
If Britain only looks at the basic plate of the British Isles...:::.When China, the United States, and Russia are industrialized, can Britain still be as great as it is now? And if China, the United States, Russia, and countries such as France, Prussia, and Austria have all completed industrialization in the end...::. How overproduction is? Your Majesty, Prince, have you considered it?
Once industrialized countries like China, the United States, Russia, France, Pudong and Austria face serious overcapacity, how will they solve the problem? How did Britain solve the problem of overcapacity in the past and present?"
"When factories on the three continents roar at the same time, the current global market cannot digest so much excess commodities," Friedrich took over Moore's words, and then the great powers will start a war for the last undeveloped land. It may be wild Africa, or the uncultivated land in North America and Oceania. The size of the British mainland will face the industrial madman on the three continents at the same time...:::
,"
Prince Albert suddenly stood up and poked a dent on the carpet: "This is terrible...:::
"So you have to prepare for the future." Moore began to "draw a big pie" for Prince Albert. "The large number of immigrants to North American colonies can not only solve the livelihoods of the poor in the UK, but also compete with the United States for European immigration, turning more French, Prussian, and Austrians into British people. ::::. It can even absorb some immigrants from East Asia!"
"The advantage of doing this is that it not only provides cheap food to the local area, but also digests excess production capacity. This is creating a huge market!" Moore said of his excitement and sucked a few cigarettes. "More importantly, there are also huge amounts of gold, silver, brass and various other resources buried under the undeveloped land...:::. Developing these resources will greatly strengthen Britain's industrial and financial strength."
The Queen suddenly remembered the "South African gold mine and Australian gold mine" predicted by Luo Yaoguo

"This will allow the empire to have three industrialized powers, the United States and Russia, in the future confrontation?" Prince Albert frowned and expressed his concerns, "Maybe...:::. The developed Canada and Australia will become the second United States!"
"But this is the only way!" Moore looked at Prince Albert, "It can take two generations to increase the population of Canadian and Australian colonies to 50 to 60 million, and India can establish an internal market across the three oceans. By then, even if the continental wars are in full swing, the imperial economy will still have its own system."
Queen Victoria suddenly stood up and quickly walked to a global map to stand still. The territory of the Empire of the Sun never sets is extremely vast, but most of the land is empty and deserted!
"Your Majesty," Moore's voice suddenly became low, "When one day in the future, the population and resources of the United States, Russia, and China serve the war machines at the same time...:::. Only a vast empire can stand in the storm."
Queen Victoria turned her head and looked at her husband: "Dear Albert, what do you think of Teacher Carl's advice?"
The suggestion sounds good and reasonable...\n. But it can't be done!
Prince Albert actually understood the virtues of the British men...::::. They refused to give charity to the Irish who was about to starve to death, and did not allow him and the Queen to be good people. How could they promote such a grand imperial development plan now?
"Teacher Carl's advice is very good, we must study it carefully!" Albert said carefully, "But we can't just consider how to develop ourselves. We should also consider how to slow down the development of our competitors. Now we know what countries are most likely to challenge the empire in the future... It's time to consider formulating targeted containment policies!"
