Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

There was nothing more lamentable than a dead heart, but what was more terrifying than a dead heart was the collapse of one's faith!

Raoult Rigo was currently like this, his entire three-way vision value system had already completely collapsed. The thing that used to be an iron law, had already been smashed into slag.

His inner world had been completely shattered into sand. He could no longer put together a complete and independent personality. Contradictions and conflicts had plunged him into an extremely twisted and struggling situation.

That's right! Who was wrong? Capitalists say their business is no longer viable. Interest on usury, competition on the international market, rising labor and rent costs are all bundles of straw that can crush a camel to death.

If what Eugene and Andrew said was true, then forget about getting ten francs per month, even two to three francs more would mean that the Steel plant would go bankrupt.

However, the workers' demands were not wrong either! The life of suffering was not fabricated, and the beggars on the streets were not mirages in the desert.

How many underage children are buried in the Larchetz cemetery? There were countless sick people on the sickbed who didn't have the money to see a doctor.

Life is so bitter that potato soup and black bread can't be eaten. Is it wrong for the poor to eat their fill?

What was going on? Who was wrong? Who can give me that answer?

At the moment, only Xiao Letian could answer Raoult Rigo's doubts, because there was only one Xiao Letian in this world.

Only such a person would have the ability to see through everything. If Xiao Letian was unable to answer this question, then Raoult Rigo would definitely not be able to rest in peace.

Xiao Letian took a few steps forward and approached Raoult Rigo, but the vigilant Dragon Guards quickly used their bodies to block the Head of the Guards's path.

The smiling Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "I have the answer, but I have to remind you, even if I tell you the answer, you guys won't be able to do anything about it …"

"I'm afraid your heart will be even colder after you get the real answer … Do you still want to hear it? "

Rigaud looked up into the Führer's eyes. "My heart is already cold. I don't care about another bucket of ice water …"

"Raoult Rigo, actually, all of the chaos that France is experiencing right now was not just because of the war, nor was it simply because of the disparity between the rich and the poor …"

"What you guys have seen is only the surface of the question, or the most intuitive answer. This is only the first level. You actually haven't grasped the deeper level of the question yet …"

"On the surface, the tragedy before us is because you lost the Franco-Prussian War. It's because the gap between rich and poor was too big, resulting in the civil war …"

"But why did you lose the war? And why do you have a gap between the rich and the poor that makes it impossible for the people to survive? Why is there no civil war between Britain and Prussia? "

"Isn't there a gap between the rich and the poor? "Actually, there's one as well …"

"I'll talk about it later. Let me tell you what is the difference between rich and poor first …"

"The gap between the rich and the poor is a fact that cannot be avoided in this world. It can't be avoided in any country or era …"

"But there are two situations in which the difference between rich and poor is tolerable. For example, if I am one franc more than you, then I am richer than you, and you are poorer than me …"

"But the difference of one franc is negligible, for there is not much difference between our lives!"

"And the other kind of difference between rich and poor is very pessimistic. It's unbearable, just like what you're seeing right now... The stench of wine and meat can freeze one's bones to death on the road! "

"The rich can spend two thousand francs a month, but the poor can't even feed themselves on bread. This intolerable gap between rich and poor has created an extremely serious social confrontation, which is the most basic soil for the spread of your thoughts! "

"The gap between the rich and the poor in Britain is actually bigger than in France, but there has never been such a serious civil war. In the end, it is still because the British workers can eat their fill of sausage and bread. That gap is tolerable!"

"Why has France become like this, with an intolerable gap between the rich and the poor? Do we really have to blame the Emperor, the aristocracy, and the capitalists? "

Xiao Letian shook his head: "It is precisely because of this that you all fell into such a hallucination, which is why you all made things so bad!"

"Actually, all of you have made a directional mistake. That is, you have defined the emperor, nobles, and capitalists as vampires and are the most evil existences. All of you have splashed all the dirty water on them …"

"But are these people really bastards? Don't they have a shred of pity? Do they really not want you to eat your fill? "

"Actually, it's not … Of course, there must be a bastard like that, but you can't say that all the noblemen and capitalists are devils who drink human blood! "

"They also have their own difficulties, just like what Eugene and Andrew just said... They could no longer continue their business! "If they raise their salaries again, they will go bankrupt. How do you expect them to raise their salaries?"

"Then what should we do?" "What went wrong …" Eugene ruthlessly wiped his mucus with his sleeve, and asked with tears streaming down his face.

Xiao Letian turned his head to look at Eugene and Andrew. "Actually, you already gave the answer yourselves! Don't you know? "

"You just said that before the war, you and Prussian merchants competed for the Ottoman Empire's rail steel business. You cut the price three times in a row, and the other party followed up with an even lower price than you guys …"

"It was only when you guys could no longer follow through with the price reduction that you heartbroken and lost your business … Why do you not dare to lower your price? "That's because if you continue to lower the price, you will lose …"

"Why should Prussian merchants continue to lower prices? That's because they still have profits even though they lowered the price! "

"Do you understand? You have serious problems with the French economy, and you are not thinking about addressing the root causes, you are just holding on to the things that show up! "

"What right do you have that Prussia can take away the business of your France? "At the end of the day, I want to give you guys a word …"

"Technology is the first productive force! Don't you know that France is lagging behind Prussia in every direction? "

"Although science and technology seem soft, once they are combined with the real economy, they will be able to produce an extremely strong competitive power. Do you understand?"

, Andrew, Raoult Rigo and all the high ranking Chinese officials beside Xiao Letian were all stunned.

The Franco-Prussian War, the Paris Civil War... The fiercest beasts under the chaotic phenomenon had finally surfaced!
