It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to make a family matter. As a politician, Xiao Letian also finds it difficult to resolve conflicts within the family. He cannot use all his might outside in front of his wife and children. This feeling of powerlessness hitting cotton with one punch is very uncomfortable.

Xiao Letian is definitely not a saint. He knows very well what kind of person he is. He chooses not to the throne of emperors and does not allow his children to be emperors. The launch of the Hidden Dragon Plan is not based on great and noble ideals and morals.

It's all nonsense. Xiao Letian is just a clear judgment if he doesn't become an emperor. The future world is an era of killing kings. A crown of crowns is covered with blood and rolls on the dust. The restless thought frenzy swept the world. The two world wars completely changed the human world.

Xiao Letian would not let his baby son go and take a look at that fame. It seems that he is standing on that dazzling platform and enjoying the worship of thousands of people, but in fact it is just a dance on the tip of a knife.

If this was the era in the late Ming or late Song Dynasty, the imperial power was still mainstream and the enlightenment thought was not popular, but we could have been an emperor. But now, it is still easier to save money. This era is becoming more and more pragmatic, and the false reputation is useless at all.

But people are selfish after all. Some things can be given in the face of the tide of the times, but some things cannot be given in, such as capital and influence.

The nobles of the Chinese clan, especially those emerging nobles who were integrated into the Hidden Dragon Plan, were completely different from the nobles of the old era. They had no slaves under their command, and they did not have to kneel down and worshipped the people. They even had to accept the same legal sanctions as the people.

It is natural to kill people and repay their lives, owing debts and paying them. It is unrealistic to rely on a privileged class like the Eight Banners.

The powerful class in the Yinlong plan is more capital and powerful, and what they enjoy is the capital skynet created by complex cross-holding.

The Skynet created by money, power and resources will eventually realize the pattern of Chinese elites being captured in one place, thus giving the Chinese a certain centralized advantage in formulating a major national strategy.

In other words, when the Chinese people have severe internal friction in the future, these people in the Hidden Dragon plan can still reach a unified front and attract more social elites, thereby promoting some super-large projects.

If humans want to develop, they must have some large-scale engineering stimulus that can be qualitatively changed, such as the Manhattan Plan, the space race, the moon landing plan... These are all projects that cost a short-term large investment but have an important impact on humanity in the long run.

Including basic physics, mathematics, chemistry... these seemingly useless disciplines of ordinary people also need funds to support them. Although they cannot directly invest money, they have a great help to social development, which is the basis of all applied science.

The reason is actually very simple, but humans have never been a rational species.

This kind of investment in super-large projects and basic science will always be a big money-consuming player and will never have any obvious benefits in the short term.

When an era, for example, between ten to twenty years, a super project takes away a large amount of resources from a country, the corresponding other industries will be in anemia state, and if there are more on one side, the other will be destined to be less. This is certain.

When the super project takes away a lot of people's livelihood benefits, society will definitely have grudges. Human beings are very selfish groups. Even if what you do is the right cause, it will definitely oppose it if it affects its interests.

People will protest, marche, impeach the government... They will do everything they can to curse the politicians.

Maybe they know very well that the investment in super engineering is good for the future, but who can guarantee that they can live until that time when the future is too long?

Let me suffer losses and let others enjoy happiness. Even if that generation is my descendant, people are reluctant!

When this phenomenon occurs, there are only two consequences: one is that the government succumbs to public opinion, and the other is that public opinion is oppressed by centralization.

There is no absolute right or wrong, and anyone is guilty in the face of history!

Qingliu scholars in the late Ming Dynasty shouted that they could not seize profits from the people, thus closing the door to China's opportunity to move to the sea, and handing over the maritime interests to the Europeans. Can you say they were wrong?

In fact, when Emperor Yongle built the super fleet, the people were indeed as miserable as scholars said. They had to pay more taxes and do more labor service. Countless people went bankrupt and countless people broke their families. These were all real in history.

In that era, countless people did reduce taxes, money and food because of the shouts of these reading seeds. You cannot say that these scholars are sinners.

But in the face of history, these people are indeed sinners of the Chinese nation. Is it really difficult to verify whether the historical allusion of the Minister of War Liu Daxia burning Zheng He's chart? However, it must be admitted that in an era, a large number of officials like Liu Daxia were desperately destroying all marine information.

Those sea routes, maps, astrological maps, shipbuilding skills, weather information that countless ancestors in the early Ming Dynasty explored with their lives... those precious materials that Europa had racked their brains and could not obtain gradually disappeared from the destruction of these people.

For history, are they sinners? And when they are alive, are they heroes in the mouths of the people?

The bloody lesson is placed in front of people, Xiao Letian cannot help but think. Is the Yinlong Plan really an organization that creates benefits for the children and raises idle people?

Wrong, the Hidden Dragon Plan is actually to form a powerful invisible centralized power in a democratic country, a far-sighted institution that can crush the short-sighted people.

The Hidden Dragon Project has countless capital, the ability to allocate global resources, the reserves of top scientists, and the huge and unimaginable connections!

There must be an organization to crush all short-sighted behaviors to ensure that society moves forward step by step, and not let the people fall into a sinking state that only knows how to enjoy themselves.

The Chinese people's career has just begun, and the people cheered Xiao Letian for a short time. This is an illusion. Xiao Letian is very clear that once he acts according to his plan, when the European Franco-Prussian War is over, it will be the moment he will show off to the people.

Xiao Letian even had a premonition that he would be kicked off the stage one day by the people!

Because after the end of the legal publicity, it was when the Chinese people were striving to practice their internal strength, especially the strategy of building the first in Asia and the second most powerful navy in the world, which was the fuse of the conflict between Xiao Letian and the people.

Don’t think that the people will always shout long live Xiao Letian. If the Navy’s military expansion plan is launched, the people will find that their income has dropped sharply and their tax revenue has increased rapidly.

Paper money will experience a slow inflation period, and the people's wealth will be gradually plundered!

Maybe Xiao Letian is a little warmer than others in history, maybe he can keep the people's food and clothing or be higher, but it is undeniable that if the Chinese people want a strong navy, the world's most advanced technology, and a perfect industrial system, you have to live a hard life with Xiao Letian for twenty years.

"Prime Minister...Prime Minister!" The shout woke up the thoughtful Xiao Letian. "We are going to Amami Island in front. In another four or five hours, we will be able to get ashore at the Guotou Village Military Port. You go and have a rest..."
