Thick book, held in an old left hand.□

This is a wide and thick big hand, with thick five fingers and bulging knuckles. It can be seen that there is also a strong power in it. Although the owner of this hand is old, his body is still strong.

The edges of the book held in your hand are already worn and worn, and they are obviously often read. There are many notes on the pages of the book, which are all the experiences of readers. This book is a philosophy book.

The book title is printed on the cover of the book - "Datong Lun".

"His Majesty……"

Hearing the sound, the hand holding the book did not move, and the owner of the hand just responded in a low voice.

"What's up?"

"The telegram from Mexico City, Caesar Mathilde I died of a stroke."

"Marty is dead...go to invite the Queen of the Emperor."

"I understand."

A maid from Ruqiu responded and hurriedly left the Hot Spring Palace Yangxin Palace.

Zhu Jishi quietly put the book together, and his face that was already old showed a deep sadness.

This is not the first woman to leave him. The first one to leave was Queen Shuzi, who died more than 30 years ago. Then Mrs. Duran, the first woman to Zhu Jishi, who arrived in this world, left.

Zhu Jishi was very sad and depressed for a week. After Mrs. Duran, Queen Luo Xiangmei also had a physical problem and suffered from heart disease. If it were left for decades, it might be possible to prolong her life with bypass surgery, but

In 1894, there was no way out. The Supreme Queen still failed to become the Queen Mother and left the world...

According to the suicide note left by Luo Xiangmei, Zhu Jishi enthroned Maria Clementina as the Queen of the Emperor three months after her death. This woman who had followed her for half a century became a formal wife. Of course, Maria Certina was the first to be a member of the emperor.

Lementina became the Empress of the Emperor without any threat to Zhu Guoxiong, who had been the emperor for more than 20 years. The Ming Empire now has long been a modern capitalist constitutional country with great wisdom. The throne inherited from the "Royal Model".

》 is not something that Zhu Guoxiong’s brothers can covet.

Moreover, Zhu Heng, who has been the king of North China for more than 20 years, has not shown much political and military talent. He has become more and more like a shrewd businessman. He devotes most of his energy to the operation of North China Petroleum Company.

It took more than 20 years to build an oil empire no less than a royal consortium. Its private property is said to have exceeded 20 billion Chinese yuan. It is truly rich and can match a country. It lives much more luxurious than the emperor Zhu Guoxiong.

.Why try to plot a crown that you can’t get at all?

Besides, the current Ming emperor is getting harder and harder. The half-century capitalist path has not only changed China from a feudal agricultural country to an imperialist industrial country, but also greatly changed China's society.

Economic structure. This change is not beneficial to every Ming people—at least not necessarily in their short-term interests.

Because cheap agricultural products from the Greater China countries and the new territory of the Ming Dynasty (referring to territories outside the 18 provinces of the Han Dynasty) are constantly impacting the small peasant economy in the Han Dynasty. Especially in the twenty-two years since the end of World War I,

Cheap agricultural products from North America and Australia were pouring in like a tide, and under the principle of trade liberalization in Greater China, the Ming Dynasty could not compete with tariffs.

The result is a round of bankruptcy waves of small farmers in Han areas - after bankruptcy, farmers either enter cities and become poor people living in terraced houses, or go abroad to become citizens of Greater China. These original immigrants have moved overseas.

In a few years, Han farmers would reclaim the land they allocated into fertile land. Then another wave of low-priced agricultural products rushed to the Ming Dynasty... This has almost become a vicious cycle!

The arable land area (excluding pastures) of Donghua, Nanhua, Beihua and Xihua alone is as high as more than 2.5 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to more than 4 billion mu of Huamu. It is almost three times the total arable land area of ​​18 provinces in Han land.

——The arable land area in this 18 provinces of Han land in time and space is not as high as the same period in history, and is always around 1.2 billion mu. A large number of slopes and terraces were abandoned because of the high cost of cultivation.

Every immigrant can get 100 acres of land for free in the above-mentioned areas! Therefore, the family farms in Sihua are all large farms with 4,500 acres in a large area, and agricultural production is generally used to combine horse farming and farming. The operating cost is so low

, the high operating efficiency is unimaginable to small agriculture in the Han area!

In just over twenty years, rural areas in 18 provinces in Han area have experienced five large-scale bankruptcy waves! Most middle-aged peasants and poor peasants’ homes have lost all their money in this round of bankruptcy wave, and there are even many.

The farmers of the "100-acre farm" could not withstand the impact of cheap agricultural products produced by the "500-acre farm" in Sihua and went bankrupt and left the countryside with a lot of debts.

The population of rural areas in Han land also dropped sharply from about 280 million before World War I to about 140 million! Among the more than 220 million people leaving the countryside (considering population growth factors), about 220 million people who moved to other countries and new lands

There were 120 million people, and the remaining nearly 100 million people all poured into the towns, which also made the urbanization of the Han area of ​​the Ming Dynasty (the standard for urban population in the Ming Empire was to live in cities or towns with a population of more than 1,000, and not directly engaged in agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry.

The industrial production population rate exceeded 60% in one fell swoop from about 32% before the war!

This ultra-high speed urbanization has also brought sufficient and cheap labor to major cities in the Han area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, while also making poverty an unsolvable problem for a period of time. According to the Ministry of Interior of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet

According to statistics, as of June 1899, there were nearly 180 million people living in less than 200 large and medium-sized cities in the 18 provinces of the Ming Dynasty alone.

More than 90% of the residents... Unfortunately, they are all glorious members of the proletariat! They are similar to those in the early years. Since the population influx into cities was far higher than the growth rate of industry and commerce, there was no employment opportunity.

It grows with the increase of urban population.

From around 1880, the labor market in the cities of the Ming Empire began to surplus, and the consequences of labor overpower were naturally the long-term hovering of wage levels and the high unemployment rate - although in cheap labor, abundant natural resources and vast

Under the multiple factors in the overseas market, the pockets of the Ming capitalists are becoming increasingly abundant, but the wages they pay to workers have been increasing by zero for twenty years.

In the last few years of the 19th century, in the large cities of the Ming Dynasty such as Shanghai, Yingtian, Guangzhou and Wuhan, the area of ​​slums (travel houses) became larger and larger, and countless poor people were crowded there.

There are no means of production and no much property, so I have to worry about living expenses of less than half a day.

What's worse is that the fertile land available for distribution on the land of Greater China, such as Donghua, North China, South China and West China, has been exhausted, and the efforts of countries to attract immigrants have also dropped significantly, although they are still open to every Chinese.

The gate, but the free fertile land is gone. Now the Ming Empire has no way to transfer social contradictions outward... The red tide of socialism has also begun to spread in the slums of the Han cities in the Ming Dynasty!

The book "Dattato" in Zhu Jishi's hand is a "red book" that promotes socialism. Zhu Jishi, the author of this book, was already well-known 70 years ago.

Nanhai Kangyouwei!

In this time and space, Kang Youwei is no longer the leader of the scholars who wrote to the bus, but a member of the lower house of the Ming Parliament and the new chairman of the Chinese Socialist Party!

'My era is almost over, and the storms of the new era are beginning to emerge one by one! I really don't know what the future Great China will become...' Zhu Jishi put down the book in his hand with some emotion, closed his eyes and started

Imagine what the world will become after your death.

Not long after, Maria Clementina's old voice sounded together with Takako Kumamoto's voice.

"Maria, please see the Supreme Emperor."

"I am tall and see the Supreme Emperor."

Zhu Jishi opened his eyes and looked at Maria, who was also old and Takako Kumamoto who was middle-aged.

"Everyone sit down... Gaozi, why are you back? Is there nothing wrong with the SHIELD SCIENCE?"

"The Supreme Emperor, I want to spend more time with you." Nanmoto Takako walked behind Zhu Jishi and gently massaged his shoulders. "There is not much work in Qian Science Department, just have Huang Feihong and Wang Wu to see it.

”

The Qian Science Department actually has not much trouble. It is probably the most leisurely yamen among the ASCHU. There are only two major cases in recent years - the Telas Special Project and the Xu Yifan Special Project.

The former was found out and ruled out the possibility of "smugglers". He is now an academician of the Donghua Academy of Sciences and also owns a large electrical equipment company. The latter was discovered by Wang Wu, an investigator of the Hidden Science Department, in Suiyuan.

At first, he claimed to be a lama, but he could not recite scriptures, and had no identity certificates. He also had some very strange clothes and personal belongings, which were very suspicious. He is now detained in the secret detention center of the Qian Science Department for investigation, but he investigated

After several years, there was no progress except knowing that the person was named Xu Yifan - because this suspicious person claimed that he would meet Zhu Jishi first before he could confess everything...

"The Kuang Science Department cannot be careless, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." After giving instructing, Zhu Jishi turned his attention to Maria, "Matilde has left, and the Roman Empire's Dinghai Shen Needle is gone! The current situation,
