Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Interesting to talk about, what is the human world leading at the forefront? It was actually technology, followed by thought!

The era of great geographical discoveries followed by the emergence of advanced European navigation technology, followed by the emergence of the idea of colonization!

There was a series of technology such as a steam engine, then there was the Industrial Revolution, then there was the thought of an industrial civilization, capitalism and so on.

There was no path in this world. The more people who walked on it, the more likely it would become a road. In the Boorish Desolate, humans would always be able to cut through the thistles and thorns, and cross the river while feeling their way through the rocks.

As more people walked in one direction, it gradually became a habit. As for the smart people, they would learn from their mistakes and finally name the path!

This is the road of capitalism, this is the road of feudal autocracy, this is the path of imperialism... And so on and so forth, all the names were actually later people, giving names to what had already appeared.

Why was Xiao Letian so powerful? Actually, the biggest difference between him and the great philosophers of this era was that he wasn't naming or summarizing what he already had.

It was because he could see the right path for himself in the Wilderness or knew exactly how he would develop. This ability did not come from his two lifetimes of being a person, but from his understanding of the laws of society.

Xiao Letian had already changed history, so would the battle still erupt again?

Xiao Letian's answer was yes, a battle would definitely erupt and become even more bloody!

Why? This was because the core cause of the outbreak of war was the release of energy after human productivity expanded to its maximum capacity. All human races had to do a reshuffle!

Extreme productivity growth, let the past capitalism evolve upwards, directly developed into imperialism!

This thing was uncontrollable, unless Xiao Letian had the ability to completely disrupt the process of industrialization on this planet. This was obviously impossible, and even he was unwilling.

So, as long as the industrial power continues to grow, capitalism will surely evolve into imperialism, and the world will be divided up into colonies by the reshuffle, and the world war will surely erupt!

The name might be different, the process and the result might be different, but this battle was unavoidable!

This was where Xiao Letian was amazing, this was also where he was different from the great philosophers of this era. He could find his way, without anyone testing the waters.

This was a godly skill! This was a godly skill that even Big Beard admired. You think that this kind of person would analyze an unsuccessful Jiang-Nan finance battle from the same angle as Xiang Ying?

Xiao Letian saw through the essence with one glance! The merchants who had developed over the years had already tasted the sweetness of playing with capital, and the elites among them had already become capitalists.

They were no longer ordinary merchants. When their money was gathered to a certain extent, they would definitely think of ways to use it to make money. If this kind of person wasn't a capitalist, then what was?

When the Keeper Niu from the Four Seas Group, Niu Jinfu and the other mega-merchant s like him, who were in the Mi family business, gradually realized that the profits they made from their money, had already exceeded the profits they made from their real economy.

Then they, the capitalists, will evolve into financial capitalists again!

That's how the game goes, the financiers do banks, futures, stocks, bonds... In the end, he would choose to control the market in order to make huge profits.

So what is this thought? Monopoly! Wasn't this how monopolistic capitalism came about?

I want to monopolize the cannons, I want to monopolize the lanterns, I want to monopolize the foodstuffs... Until the very end, when financial products still wanted to make a fortune by monopolizing them!

What can be used to maintain a monopoly? National violence, of course! The administrative forces and the army would become the watchdogs of this money vortex sooner or later!

To make a fortune together, to make a windfall fortune together! Why not start a war?

Is this the Chinese future that I want? Is this really what I need? Who's going to make a cage for the money?

Other than a real politician, who else could it be other than the strategist who possessed profound thoughts and could control power? Only this kind of person could go against such a powerful force!

I, Xiao Letian, am still alive, and can still suppress them, but if I am dead? Who will suppress these ambitious capital forces?

At that time, if they wanted to kill someone, they could kill them. If they wanted to set fire to something, they could set it on fire. If they wanted to start a war, they could start a war!

What did the Chinese become? Do you really think I want to build a country like that? If I don't have the power to balance it, how can I be at ease in passing down my power to you!

But I can't live forever, I'm not a bastard!

Xiao Letian pinched his disciple Xiang Ying's shoulder, and nearly crushed all the bones in his body. The pain made Xiang Ying sweat profusely but he did not dare move even a little.

"Child, you have to remember this. Why should I leave a secret file? Why do I have to pinch my nose to allow two swallows to listen in on me when I sleep with women? "

"Do you think I'm willing? I don't want to, but I know... The secret files that I have left, the records of these Home Note, might be a thought weapon that people can attack in a hundred years! "

"Maybe one day, when the Chinese are truly controlled by the huge power of money …" "Perhaps a hundred years from now, perhaps two or three hundred years from now …"

"I hope that future generations will also find some weapons of thought... At the very least, they can raise up the words of the Chinese founding fathers as a shield for them to fight back. That way, they can gather more of their social forces! "

"Leave a secret door for them …" "That's all!"

"Remember, child, capital has no borders, capital has no homeland, and capital has no human emotions! When they bared their fangs, they would never consider that the owners of so much wealth in Jiangnan is actually Chinese. 99% of the wealth belongs to their own people! "

"They aren't plundering the foreign forces at all, do you think they are really taking revenge on Manchu? Nonsense... The whole world knows that 99% of China's wealth is created by the Chinese. Who do you think those greedy fellows are going to hang? "

"They are all excuses like dog shit. In order to earn money, they can just close their eyes and push the Chinese people of the same kind to the side of the Qing Dynasty …"

"In order to earn money, they can brazenly say that I don't care about your bloodline or your culture, you're the lackey of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Look, a country's name is enough to make them raise their butcher knives and wantonly strangle them …" If they were allowed to plunder one hundred million silver taels from Jiangnan, then all the hearts of the people in Jiangnan would be pushed to the Qing Dynasty! "

"Paper cannot wrap fire! "Don't think that just because you've been hiding behind the rules of the game that no one will be able to find you. You might be able to hide for a year or two, but as long as you are exposed, the reputation of the entire Chinese race will be lost as well!"

"At that time, all the Chinese in the world will be shocked to find out that the Chinese are not their own family. The Chinese are man-eating beasts as well!"

"Fortunately Xiao Hexin and the rest hesitated. Luckily Sakamoto Ryoma used his army to intimidate them … Otherwise, it will be chaos! "
