Princess Charlotte looked at the cheering crowd below with an ugly expression, and was a little disappointed with her husband.
However, although Prince Maxim, who had returned to his seat, was a little disappointed, he felt relieved. With a generous personality, he was also smiling and applauding his opponent's wonderful speech.
He did not think that the speech of the Crown Prince Emsdan was so wonderful. It was nothing more than a promise of material things, and there was no noble ideals or great pursuits at all.
If John knew what this person thought, he would definitely understand that this Prince Maxim was the kind who was stupid when he studied and studied with those literati. Those literati and scholars who wandered among the palace in the old continent were like Ming
Most of the Donglin Party members in the late dynasty were similar. On the surface, they were honest and honest, and they were wise and righteous, and gentlemen were ashamed to speak of profit. In fact, they secretly had a family's fertile land, and they were involved in canal sea transportation and smuggling, and selling private salt.
When stealing gold mines, you have to get involved in any money-making.
Once the emperor wants to collect commercial taxes and mining taxes, he will write a letter saying that the emperor cannot compete with the people for profit. He doesn’t know what the people have to do with the people?
It seems that Prince Maxim is also a literary youth who was taught stupid by the hypocritical literati.
John ended his speech with everyone's cheers, and then returned to the residence arranged by Emsdan's Embassy.
Soon, Maxim, who failed the gambling game, came to visit alone with his guards.
Maxim's visit surprised John a little, but he was still welcomed in enthusiastically.
The two sat opposite each other in the reception room. After the servants gave them a refreshment, Maxim asked in a hurry:
"Klaus, why is my speech not recognized? Is it because what I said is not good enough or the content is not noble enough?"
Upon hearing this, John took a sip of the tea and smiled faintly:
"Maxim, it seems that you are like a student in an ivory tower, not seeing the real scene of this society."
Maxim said in confusion: "No matter what you promised to be a cattle and sheep farm, or a chicken and duck farm, it is impossible for everyone in Haigar to enjoy it. There are hundreds of thousands of people in San Jose alone, at most,
One person can only share a bite of meat. Can it be just a little favor that makes them cheer and worship like that?"
John laughed and said: "It's often so practical for humans. A little food can give you the support of ordinary people. For a poor family, an egg may be a delicious treat that you can only eat on your birthday, not you
Those who are too tall but empty in the great ideals, sometimes, care more about the lives of the people, are excellent rulers.”
Maxim was very uncomprehensible when he heard this, and he felt even more incredible that someone could not even afford to eat eggs.
This is the typical idea of "why not eat meat".
John shook his head and explained it to the prince of the Holy Empire. When he heard the oriental allusion of "Why not eat meat" told him, Maxim was silent for a moment, and then said:
"You are the same as my emperor brother, aren't you optimistic about being Emperor Haigar? I am willing to learn all these things I don't know and make better changes to the prosperity of Haigar!"
John shook his head again after hearing this:
"You are wrong, Maxim, the most important thing for Haigar at the moment is to maintain stability, not change. Unless you have the powerful force to eliminate a civil war, don't try to change any system and situation in Haigar. Believe
I, that would be a nightmare!”
John was not alarmist, because the historical lessons of his previous life told him that both the idealistic Mexican emperor and the Brazilian emperor who tried to give Black Crossbow equal status were eventually overthrown by the people he hoped for.
It is because they all want to change the country and make people live better, but their wishes are beautiful, but they overestimate their control ability, and are too idealistic and impatient, which makes the interests of all classes difficult to coordinate and lead to greater
The conflicts made people betrayal of relatives and relatives, and even the original supporters were disappointed with them.
So John patiently explained: "Don't doubt what I said, politics is not as simple as you think. Just say that you really became Emperor Hegal, then my Majesty and Emperor Joseph will be more worried about your life safety.
Because there are so many enemies who want to use your death to fight the Holy Empire and the prestige of His Majesty Joseph."
Seeing Maxim seemingly unbelievable, John continued:
"Our empire faces many enemies and is very powerful. Not long ago, I had just been attacked by a powerful golden man. Fortunately, I was stronger than it, and some accidents happened. In the end, I was unscathed, and that person
It has turned into ashes."
The secret about Franklin's death in the hands of John was happening in another world. In addition to the countries and forces involved, even the top leaders of powerful countries like the Franz Empire may not know it, let alone very few.
Prince Maxim is involved in politics.
The two-headed prince was quite shocked by this.
"A powerful man from the Golden Kingdom? He died like this?"
"Yes, because the specific situation involves some secrets, it is not convenient to disclose it to the public, but you can ask His Majesty Joseph."
John continued to say:
"I know you want to sit in this position and show your ambitions, but you must be prepared to face various difficulties and even assassination attacks. There are probably many gold-level enemies. After all, although the New World is an extraordinary desert, gold is strong
There are still a few people, and you can invite them from the old continent if you don’t have them. I think that when I have no choice, His Majesty the Emperor should arrange a strong man to protect you, otherwise the bloodline of the Double-Headed Eagle family will happen to the new continent.
I'm afraid it will cause unpredictable wars."
"There are all great figures for the strong people in the country. Although our empire is the best in Europe, it also has many enemies and opponents to restrain each strong person. No matter how free he is, he will have to call it for you, Emperor Joseph.
If a strong man in the country is in charge, then it will definitely have a negative impact on the situation of the empire in the old continent!”
Although Prince Maxim is an idealist, fortunately he is not the kind of paranoid person who does not listen to advice. When he heard John's statement, he couldn't help but feel deeply guilty for his previous willful behavior, and he also understood more and more over the years.
The Emperor’s brother’s arrangements.
In addition to his innate thought, his thoughts were not only weak when he was a child and could not undergo extraordinary training with his brothers, so he devoted himself to the world of literature, and then gradually received the so-called new ideas in various literary salons over the years
Influence.
It is undeniable that there are some real scholars and masters among those cultural people, but they are more speculators who attempt to throw out a new idea and win the appreciation of big names and then embark on the road to wealth and honor. And the latter often occupies the vast majority.
.
In John's view, this kind of inviting fame was played by the Middle-earth people in the ancient Middle-earth period as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Many of the various schools of thought were good at playing this.
