"The entire history of human politics is actually a swing game between centralization and decentralization. Power is a social public instrument. Everyone wants to eat more and occupy more. As I once said, it is a huge pendulum, banging back and forth at the two critical points of centralization and decentralization."

"To the extreme, it is dictatorship, and to the extreme, it is to dominate each other until it is divided. Why did Europe not form an effective unified empire, and why the ancient Roman Empire was destined to perish? In fact, it has something to do with their geographical environment."

"Ancient European civilization is actually the Mediterranean civilization. Open the map of the heyday of ancient Rome and you will understand that the core of the ruling of this empire is actually within the limit radius of sea transportation..."

It is six o'clock in the morning. At this time, Xiao Letian had already gotten up and walked to finish his walk. He was preparing for breakfast, but today the situation was a bit special. Since the wife had arrived in Ryukyu, the officials of the Prime Minister's Office were very informed and tactful and did not send too many official documents for the Prime Minister to review.

Everyone is a man, and it is clear what kind of state it will be after ten months of holding it in.

But someone still came to disturb Xiao Letian's vacation. That person was Zai Chun. This eleven-year-old child could obviously go to Xiao Letian's inner house at will, and no one of the guards could stop him.

In the study, Xiao Letian washed his face with cold water, stared at the black circle and looked at Zai Chun, and his mind was so sleepy that he even lost his mind for a while that he remembered the debauchery and innocence of last night.

Zai Chun called out three times, then woke Xiao Letian from his daze and raised his own question.

Zai Chun didn't sleep all night last night because he heard the emperor's art explained by Feng Fu and a group of Confucian scholars, which was completely different from what Xiao Letian explained.

Feng Fu's explanation made the little emperor a little scared. Feng Fu said why he had to support the court even though he knew that the Green Camp had no combat power, and why he had not reformed even though he knew that the Eight Banners had become playboys.

Why is there no official in the world not corrupt? But the emperor still had to use corrupt officials. Heshen embezzled 800 million taels, why did Emperor Gao think he was a treasure?

Everything is actually for the centralization of power and for the emperor's power.

There are Han people in the green camp. No matter whether they carry the flag or not, they are all Han people in their bones. What should the Han army be so disciplined? Should it be as strong as the Yue family army? Then all the Jurchens will continue to call Grandpa Yue?

What's wrong with the Eight Banners playing tricks? The more they are, the less they are, the less they are in rebellious. When the Nine Dragons fought for the throne, the Eight Virtue Kings were respectful and wise men, but the more promising he was, the more the emperor was not guarding against him?

There is also the problem of using corrupt officials. Corrupt officials are good. The more corrupt officials are, the more they prove that they will not rebel, because all their corruption depends on this court. If this system is overturned, where will he go to embezzle?

So, if the eunuch sells ten taels of silver eggs to the emperor, that is not called corruption, it is called the emperor's reward. The money used to buy the loyalty of the eunuchs.

Feng Fu and his friends' speeches continued until three o'clock in the morning. Finally, Feng Fu concluded, "Businessmen are changeable because they are always chasing the most latest profits. Today they can spin and grow tea tomorrow. In order to make money, they can completely abandon their conscience... I admit that this group is capable, but it is precisely because they change so much that they are doomed to be unable to rule this country..."

"Because China is too large and has too many people, governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. Flipping around can only make people's hearts broken... People make money by growing grain this year, and make money by growing cotton next year, and may abandon arable land to be a businessman the year after..."

"You know, not everyone can become qualified businessmen. Everything is not the same taller. Ten fingers are still different. How do you expect everyone to do business and make a fortune?"

"But the people who are greedy and self-discipline cannot be spared. It is normal to make small money and lose big money. Once they lose their entire family property, such people are the most unstable part of society..."

"Emperor, if our entire Qing Dynasty advocated the businessman's style, it would probably take ten or twenty years, and the people of this country would be completely in chaos."

The little emperor was stunned when he heard this. He could not refute Feng Fu's remarks at all. This was not what he meant alone. This theory was accumulated over thousands of years of experience in the entire Confucian school.

Feng Fu later refuted Xiao Letian's military construction. "The army is just a group of big-headed soldiers, and they need whatever ideas they need."

"We have to hold a meeting and tell them the purpose of each battle. Those who are in the army should be honest and obedient to fight and get money. Today they can fight bravely for a few slogans, and tomorrow they will even overthrow the emperor for the so-called ideal."

"Your Majesty, don't be stupid. If one day your will dissatisfies these soldiers, will they mutiny overthrow you? Then you will not be able to find the door even if you cry."

"We all know that the Ryukyu army can fight, but we don't want such an army, and we can't control it... What kind of army is this? If you don't give rewards, you will rush to be a dead soldier. Are there such terrifying soldiers in the world? I'm afraid that when they come to break through the Forbidden City, the perpetrators don't have to pay to shout a few bewitching slogans."

Zai Chun was completely blinded. He was very conflicted. He had completely insomnia since he returned to his residence. He kept staring at the sky until it was bright, and then wiped his face and went to find Xiao Letian. He wanted to get the answer from the Prime Minister.

After listening to Zai Chun's retelling, Xiao Letian felt very pleased. Yesterday he ordered the Intelligence Bureau that this time the Qing Dynasty envoys came to visit, the Intelligence Bureau would not monitor and let them take a look at it freely, so Xiao Letian didn't know the record of the conversation last night.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, my good apprentice took the initiative to deliver the plot to the door. It seems that the emotional investment this year is still useful.

Xiao Letian admitted that Feng Fu's remarks were still very confusing, and the key points he pointed out were very sharp, and Xiao Letian also knew that what Feng Fu said in history would happen.

Note: Now there are 60 sets of customized printing sets for the Yinlong Book Friend of the Qing Dynasty. Here I will explain the details of the customized printing.

This time, the printing of the book was initiated at the request of the book friends, and it satisfies the desire of the book friends to collect physical books. This time, two copies were printed at a time, with the number of words in each book ranging from 250,000 to 300,000 words, and two copies were 500,000 to 600,000 words in one set.

Sales are sold according to sets. Please remember that you only buy one set and two books at a time. The cost has not been calculated yet. It is estimated that the two books will cost 600,000 words, which should be around 50 yuan.

This price has been reduced to very, very low. In the entire book market, 300,000-word books are generally priced between 40 and 50 yuan, because those books have book numbers and the circulation channels have to make a lot of money.

Our customized printing is priced from the printing factory, and you can give it to everyone with a express fee, so it is very cheap. Two books, 600,000 words, can only cost about 50 yuan, so it is rare to miss the opportunity.
