"conspiracy!"

Carl said with a pipe in his mouth.

"While everyone is cheering for their righteous deed, no one knows that this is just a deliberate conspiracy!"

"Where does this come from?"

Friedrich asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, because many people only see the surface, but not the essence of the problem!"

Walking out of the community along the winding path in the community park, the two people who came to the riverside park outside the community talked while walking.

"The essence of the problem is that Ming Dynasty was the occupier of that land, and their purpose was not purely to give freedom. They even just used the excuse of giving blacks freedom to attack the Brazilian manor owners - sending 350 million black slaves to While leaving, the Brazilian manor owners went bankrupt overnight—those manors not only lost their slaves, but also lost their labor force. The former plantations were abandoned as a result. Many plantations went bankrupt. In 1878, when they first occupied Brazil, Brazil's plantations held 85% of the land. Just two years later, 95% of the plantations went bankrupt because they had no labor to cultivate and could not afford taxes. Confiscated by the authorities, the so-called "letting black slaves return home freely" is just a tool used by Ming Dynasty to destroy Brazil's economy, and..."

Walking to the gazebo on the east side of the river, Karl stood there, looking at the large groups of passenger pigeons flying through the air. This kind of pigeons were dying out in North America, but they thrived in South America, in Daming, and bred out new species.

"What we can notice is that at the same time as they declared to "let the black slaves return home freely", they had just achieved the occupation of Africa. On the vast land of Africa, they needed mature labor to cultivate new plantations. A nigger who has nothing is the best labor, my friend, isn't all this a conspiracy?"

"conspiracy?"

Friedrich frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

"But that doesn't explain the fact that he provided land, or even production tools, to those free blacks."

Friedrich was a little dazed. Those black slaves who returned to Africa did get the land, and they were not liberated with nothing.

"It's just an acre of land. At the same time, how much land did Ming plunder in Africa? Those free people who returned to Africa from the Americas to obtain land will soon lose their land in various squeezes. In fact, everything, It's been planned from the beginning, it's just a conspiracy disguised."

It was a conspiracy from the start!
It does!

From the very beginning, the so-called "freeing the black slaves" was a conspiracy.

In fact, long before attacking Brazil, Da Ming had put Brazil under a microscope to study it for several years. Why did he study the past?
It is for how to better and more effectively occupy this country.

"The supporters of the Brazilian imperial system are planters with a large number of slaves, while the so-called "republicans" are often abolitionists. They support the abolition of slavery not because of their high morals, but because they themselves have no slave."

"The history of the nobles and large plantation owners of the Brazilian Empire can be traced back to one or two centuries ago. As early as the early days of the colony, they had already monopolized the wealth-land. The republicans are often the commercial capitalists and ordinary people. The bourgeoisie, who supported the republic and the abolition of slavery, were essentially fighting against the nobility and the big planters who monopolized the land..."

"Whether it is a republic or an imperial system, it is essentially an interest. The republicans support the republic in order to obtain more wealth and break the monopoly of the nobles and plantation owners. The plantation owners support the imperial system in order to maintain slavery and personal wealth. "

This is the content of the secret report submitted by Cheng Dingkang, the current minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Empire, after his visit to Brazil. It was also his report that made the final decision for Ming to "liberate the black slaves".

And what is the core sentence in his report?
"By granting freedom to black slaves, depriving plantation labor, cracking down on and dismantling the Brazilian plantation economy, and thus completing the transformation of the Ming economy."

What is "Economic Transformation to Ming Dynasty"?
Of course, the plantation of the Brazilians has been turned into a plantation of the Ming people. After all, the ultimate goal of military occupation is to occupy the production resources of other countries.

In order to achieve this goal, all policies are formulated around this goal, including of course the so-called "liberation of black slaves" and "freedom to return home".Even the granting of land was part of the conspiracy.

It's just that even Ru Karl couldn't realize what the real conspiracy was, he just saw the surface.

Staring at the flock of passenger pigeons that slowly receded like dark clouds in the sky, Karl frowned and said.

"The ruler of the Ming Empire may be the most cunning imperialist in history. He always hides his purpose on a seemingly lofty moral supremacy, and even the various benefits he now gives to the people are essentially It is also for the sake of bribery, to win people's hearts, he is even a more terrifying opponent than the rulers of Europe and America, because he can clearly realize the power of the general public. Therefore, he will use some methods, or some favors to Buy off the general public."

Facing his friend's judgment, Friedrich thought for a while and said.

"When I was in Daming last time, I heard people say that in China, there was a saying thousands of years ago that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." The relationship between rulers, water can not only hold up a boat to make it sail safely, but also overturn it and sink it. In addition, in order to implement a long-term rule, the ruler needs to implement "benevolent government",...benevolent government !It is a kind of "benevolent political means" or "benevolent means of governance."

After uttering the word with "rén zhèng", Friedrich said in an affirmative tone.

"This is also the root cause of the Ming Empire's implementation of various national welfare laws. As you said, they can see the power of the general public. This power can bury the dynasty. Therefore, it is necessary to use "benevolent governance" to benefit the people. , which is also the fundamental reason why the ruler can rule for a long time."

Listening to Friedrich's explanation, Karl nodded in agreement.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it" is a very appropriate metaphor. It seems that in the East, as early as thousands of years ago, they had already figured out the relationship between the ruler and the general public. , They are the most cunning opponents!"
