Chapter 1377 The Treaty of Versailles ([-])
Does it mean that these people are a group of "insects"?There are no good people in Hongdong County?
Are there no people who really fight for the interests of the specific, the poor, the landless peasants, etc.?

Even Thomas Paine, who wrote "Common Sense," said that [a small group of wealthy Virginia land speculators, including the Washington, Lee, and Randolph families, used this royal charter to investigate and claim title to large tracts of land, including the 13 colonies west of many lands.But in fact, according to the public interest, these lands should belong to the U.S. government represented by the Continental Congress] These words were cut off by the best friend, and they were directly squeezed out to France. In the end, even a respectable person could not attend the funeral No.

Not only that, there are no bones left, the tombs have been flattened, and the bones have been dug away, and they are still missing.

Then you can imagine.

Stephen Hopkins said "the price is only 10 lives", what should be exchanged?
free?

So what does this abstract concept actually mean?
Specific to each person, such as Hancock, what kind of freedom does he want?It was buying French sugar, selling New England wine, buying West African slaves.

As for Washington specifically, what kind of freedom does he want?It was his investment in the Ohio Company, the land west of the Appalachians.

Specific to Henry Middleton, what freedom does he want?It was he who owed the Scottish bankers money and wanted to pay it back in unanchored notes instead of silver, but the British government would not allow it.

What Dashun wants to do here is "don't sing high-profile", but "talk about specific interests", the essence of which is to make the contradiction concrete.

This also breaks down the key points grasped by Samuel Adams, the number one propagandist in North America: don't talk about specific interests, but talk about abstract words; don't talk about specific conditions, but talk about abstract freedom.

The key to Samuel Adams' technique is "adapting to local conditions."

Its basis is the British policy in history, which has harmed the interests of a large number of bourgeois, landlords, and land speculators in North America.

And in the subsequent post-war depression, the European economic crisis in 71 and the financial collapse and bankruptcy wave attracted a large number of urban petty bourgeois who were directly impacted and were the most economically vulnerable—they were more resistant to risks than landed farmers in North America. , are much more vulnerable, they are the "ducks who are the most prophetic of spring water heating" in monetary policy.

The ban on unanchored banknotes directly led to deflation in North America, and a large number of shoemakers, cobblers, winemakers, etc. could not survive.

Without this foundation, then this set of things will be too empty and unable to exert enough power.

Now, Dashun's approach is to complete the division of the upper class in North America through specific interests, making it impossible for them to unite under an abstract banner.

This banner is called Anti-British.

This abstract collection is called England.

But what are the specific things against?Dashun is cracking them one by one.

Since Virginia's interests lie in the land in the west, it is useless to pull it, so just don't pull it.

Now that Franklin's illegitimate son has been appointed as the governor of New Jersey, Dashun can welcome Franklin to participate in this meeting as a bridge between North America and the United Kingdom.

As long as there is still room to ask for prices and pay back the money, then there is something to talk about.

This matter has been discussed, the sooner the talks are completed, and the sooner the violent institutions in North America are established, the sooner Dashun can start the immigration plan, and the sooner the Yellow River New Road, which may take ten years or even 20 or 30 years, will be established. It can be completed to avoid the great flood in North China caused by the flooding of the Yellow River breach and flooding that will inevitably occur because the south is raised and silted up.

This violent mechanism in North America is used to arrest people in New England and maintain the frontier.

You can't count on the French.The life of the French is not bad. It is definitely useless to expect the French to move enough people to ensure the balance of power.

The current situation is very favorable for Dashun's goal.

Because although the economic base determines the superstructure, it cannot be determined mechanically.Because Dashun breaks apart the entanglement of interests, will the result that Dashun wants will be achieved?Not necessarily.

Now the British side let Franklin do this bridge building. As a negotiator in the bargaining between the North American side and the British side, there are at least a few aspects, which can be said to be quite favorable conditions for Dashun.

Franklin's own political leanings need not be mentioned.

Political inclinations aside, Franklin was a scientist as well as a statesman.

This is not to say that because of this, or because of the things that Liu Yu was tinkering with at Dashun Academy of Sciences, Franklin would have a "fascinating" mood, so that he felt that Dashun's ideas were all right.

Of course it can't be that simple.

It's just that the existence of Dashun Academy of Sciences and the things Liu Yu tinkered with, as Dashun's "personal design" when he walked out of the background painting, really helped at this time.

The thunder and lightning story is not mentioned.

Dashun Academy of Sciences hired Euler as a foreign academician.

On the issue of whether light is a particle or a wave, Euler supports Huygens' theory that "light is a wave".

Franklin also supported it, and because of Lord Niu's great reputation, both Franklin and Euler were in the minority.

Believe that light is a wave.

But how to prove it?

Dashun Academy of Sciences "designed" a small experiment.

double slit interference.

Therefore, the theory that light is a kind of wave has finally been verified by experiments, and it was completed in Dashun Academy of Sciences.

This has little to do with whether it will increase Franklin's favor.

It was Liu Yu's "Dashun's Character Design", and through similar things, the Dashun's character design was engraved with the word "science".

Since this "personal design" is scientific and rational.

So, is "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus" passed down from Dashun a science?
Is it a reasonable inference?

The moment the country of Dashun came out of the "background board", the character design was fixed.

And Liu Yu has been strengthening this kind of personality.

Based on this character setting, it is very logical that "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus" that was handed down from Dashun, who talks about science and rationality, also talks about science and rationality.

Since Franklin is a scientist and talks about science, then this "The Wealth of Nations 2.0plus", which is covered with a very scientific skin and blessed by someone with a halo, naturally convinced Franklin.

Franklin, on the other hand, had actually been to Ireland.

He had seen first-hand the misery of Ireland under the inhuman mercantile policy of Great Britain.

Therefore, he is sure that this set of British policies will definitely come to an end.

It will neither bring about a technological revolution nor make the UK strong, it will only slowly decay and eventually become the same as Ireland.

On the contrary, Dashun's set of Guofu 2.0 makes a lot of sense.

Through the shock, rely on the invisible hand to complete the cleanup of all unreasonable industries in North America and the United Kingdom, so that the United Kingdom and North America can find the real industries that are good at and advantageous, and this is the future.

And this set of things just solved the demands of many big businessmen in North America.

And the method of "Dashun collecting tariffs on behalf of Dashun and distributing tariffs according to sales" given to Dashun is technically feasible.

Therefore, Franklin personally supported Dashun's prescription for Britain.And believe that this is scientific, rational, and future-oriented.
