William's suggestion was supported by everyone, everyone assigned the task and immediately went to prepare.

"Father, do we really not accept the intervention of His Highness Yu?" asked Little William.

Old William smiled and asked, "Do you think we don't accept it, will Your Highness Yu intervene?"

"Now the major countries of the Grand Alliance have reached an agreement on this."

"So what?" Old William looked disdainful. Seeing that his son didn't understand, Old William said: "The Chinese say that three cobblers can be used as wise men. Perhaps this is the case at the level of wisdom, but it is useless at the level of strength. One child cannot beat a strongman, and three and four children together cannot beat it, not to mention that the children only have sticks, while the strongman is wearing heavy armor and holding a musket."

"You mean, Your Highness Yu will definitely intervene?"

Old William nodded: "Yes, but I don't know what time he chose. Moreover, there is no consistency between the great alliances, interests will be lost. What's more, this is a war and it is not up to one side to decide. We still have to consider Louis XIV's attitude?"

"What's the solution for that trapped king?"

Old William smiled: "Of course, he has a way, and I have thought that if I were King Louis and in a situation where there was no way, I would find a reason to declare war on China and force China into this war."

“Is this possible?”

"Of course, as long as Louis XIV believes that being an enemy of China can protect France's interests. Now the Grand Alliance continues to win, and demands on France are increasing. At the beginning, we fought for the Spanish throne. Now, everyone has discussed how much compensation France will be compensated after the war. If Louis XIV surrenders or the French army in Strasbourg is completely wiped out, the price will increase. If we capture Paris, someone may propose to dismantle France."

When William Xiao frowned when he heard this, he said. As old William said, with the victory, the Grand Alliance demanded more and more, and the best result was the division of France, because this country was too strong and was the only country in Europe.

The Netherlands may support such a proposal because it is close to France. After Louis XIV's rise, every time France launches a war, it will fight the Netherlands. Austria will definitely do so, because Austria wants to replace France and dominate Europe. On the contrary, Britain will not demand this, because for Britain, the balance of power on the mainland is the main thing, and Austria cannot be allowed to dominate alone.

Similarly, Prussia, which had just been upgraded to a kingdom, did not want France to split, because once Austria replaces France, it will inevitably have indecent thoughts on all states in the German region. Real rule in the name of Shinro may be Austria's next move.

As for the attitude of Oriental China in this regard, William suddenly felt that perhaps their attitudes would be similar to those of the United Kingdom.

"So, kid, we have to make plans in advance. I heard that the two sons of King Yu have also arrived. You have a good relationship with them when you were in China, right?" asked Old William.

Little William nodded. During his study in the empire, he had a deep friendship with the two sons of Prince Yu and Prince Zhaoji, and most of the time he went out together. Li Zhaoyu was calm and generous, Li Zhaoji was hospitality, Li Zhaocheng was righteous and heroic, Li William formed a deep friendship with them, and after returning to China, he never had any other friends.

"You can contact King Yu's children immediately. Tell them all about the Great Alliance, and there is no need to hide anything."

Little William was shocked when he heard this: "This...is this inappropriate?"

In William's view, the countries of the Great Alliance were in a disagreement. Except for having to defeat France, they had no common opinion on the others. Even if they wanted to pay compensation from France, they had different opinions on whether to pay compensation. William felt that perhaps the countries of the Great Alliance had already communicated with the empire in private, but they would definitely not be as unreserved as their father.

Old William knew what his son was thinking, and said: "The most important countries of the Great Alliance are now. Each country has different demands for France and China. Britain carried out its second glorious revolution and urgently needed to be recognized by the empire. Heinsius of the Netherlands wanted to enhance the influence of the Netherlands in Europe, Austria wanted to make the empire support or accept it as dominating Europe, and the king of Portugal wanted to live the life of Louis XIV.

Only we are different. Whether the German nation can be united and unified, and whether Prussia can rise and become prosperous and strong must be supported by the empire. In the case of Britain, we have offended them, and this time we must express sincerity.

In fact, what can we get in France? Land or compensation? Even if we get it, it won’t be too much. These are not as valuable as the friendship of the empire.”

The father made me travel between us, the first stop, Amsterdam, the second stop, Paris.

What you see and hear is hard to say. You should know that from the moment of its birth, dirty blood flows in every pore.

......

July 19th.

......The only one who can compete with the sins of capital is the feudal imperial system. It is the ugliest two of the people in the world! I have the ambitions of the world and a passionate one, so I should seek welfare for the world and make the people of the empire more free, equal and happy......

This is a few decades later, some excerpts from Li Zhaocheng's diary, and records such as playing cards were published to show people the humorous side of Li Zhaocheng. What is really shocking is the feelings that Li Zhaocheng's brothers traveled to Amsterdam from June 25 to July 15 to investigate this country completely controlled by capitalism.

And the two arrived in Paris on July 18th and resented after investigating the heart of the feudal monarchy and the world's feudal monarchy.

As an adult who has the possibility of inheritance in the third generation of the royal family, the emperor asked his most trusted younger brother to bring these two children to Europe to see the world. Li Junwei understood the emperor's intention. He wanted to test and observe which of these two children is more suitable as heirs.

If you want to become an imperial emperor, you have many requirements, abilities, morals, minds, etc., and it is difficult to judge the abilities shown by a young man at the age of seventeen. After all, a wise man will have one mistake, and a fool will have one gain. But at the age of seventeen, you are already an adult in the empire. Although it is not advisable to see the old man at the age of three and five, you are already a person with an old man at the age of three, and the seventeen-year-old man is enough to testify his character.

The imperial emperors needed many positive qualities, but some were basic and some were just icing on the cake. The necessary qualities included a sense of justice and human nature.

Relatively speaking, the reason why Li Junwei is unwilling to become the emperor is because he has shortcomings in this regard. Reason and wisdom are the two most eye-catching lights in human beings. Li Junwei has these two qualities, but the problem is that Li Junwei is too rational and is a little cold-blooded when he reaches the extreme.

He is a firm nationalist, collectivist and nationalist, and he will also ignore the elements of the rule of law, human rights, etc. In his eyes, the rule of law and human rights are just tools.

To give the simplest example, during the period when the royal family lost the prince and Li Junwei returned to China, he not only fought against the domestic bourgeoisie, but his greatest political achievement was to promote the Land Law Amendment through various means in an irresistible manner.

The previous Imperial Land Law stipulated that state-owned land was not allowed to be privatized, but in local areas, ordinary people could reclaim land but not privately owned. In border areas and some overseas areas, in order to motivate immigration, reclaimed land could be privately owned.

The amendment bill that Li Junwei strongly promoted was targeting the densely populated provinces in the empire.

Li Junwei has always promoted the empire's people to immigrate overseas, especially the two lands in Xijin and America. In the era of the pioneering exile of prisoners, the first prisoners who committed more than ten years of crimes were exiled, because Li Junwei's strong demands were reduced to eight years or seven years. If the emperor had not refused, it would have reduced to five years.

But even so, Li Junwei's ambitions could not be satisfied.

King Yu discovered that in the densely populated areas of the empire, the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the population had grown rapidly, but this did not bring about large-scale immigration. Because the newly increased population was digested by the local area with the increase in land reclamation, and the technological progress increased the land yield per mu, resulting in the rural population being unwilling to immigrate.

Therefore, Li Junwei advocated the amendment of the law, requiring the Imperial Land and Resources Bureau to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the land in each province, and divide the land into different uses such as arable land, forests, rivers, ponds, grasslands, etc. starting from the 40th year of the Imperial, all acts such as surrounding lakes and building fields and reclaiming mountainous land are prohibited. If the Imperial Bureau disagrees, it is not allowed to change the purpose of the land.

That is, the land carrying capacity of the provinces in China is not related to the yield per mu, and has nothing to do with the land area.

On the other hand, in order to promote population growth, families with four children can go to school for free, and the expenses are borne by the government. For families with six children, land tax will be exempted.

This is forcing the land in the densely populated areas of the empire to carry the population and let it immigrate overseas. This is not enough. The Land and Resources Bureau investigated the disaster situation in various provinces of the empire and specifically supervised some places that were often affected.

The disasters such as locust plague, hail, and snow disaster are different. The imperial government has a saying about droughts in the north and floods in the south. Why frequent droughts in northern provinces must be related to the large number of dry lands in the land of various provinces that cannot be irrigated? Either you transform these dry lands into irrigated lands, or you transform these dry lands into forests and grasslands.

Why are there frequent floods in the south? It must be that farmers have reclaimed their land to low-lying areas, and they must have surrounded the lake and built fields in rivers to cause flood discharge and flood diversion problems. That’s simple, returning farmland to lakes and rivers.

What should I do if the landless farmers caused by returning farmland? Immigration!!!

Later generations evaluated the Land Law Amendment this year, believing that it played a decisive role in the empire's overseas development. They also believed that King Yu was very forward-looking and knew to protect the environment. However, the people of the provinces in the country did not think so. This kind of artificial migration made it difficult for the people in the country with strong local complexes to accept it.

Fortunately, the emperor understood that on the grounds that the financial expenditure was too large, he affirmed the Land Law on the one hand, and on the other hand, he set the reform as a long-term plan for fifteen years.

Even though the public was full of grievances, the draft amendment to the Land Law was passed in high votes in the two houses of the Empire, especially in the House of Representatives. In the morning, the stolen country case was discussed, and the members gritted their teeth and secretly called King Yu to be treacherous and insidious. In the afternoon, the members discussed the Land Amendment, and the members sang praises and shouted King Yu to be wise.

The reason is very simple. If artificially manufactured land carrying capacity is reduced, many landless farmers will be generated. This is exactly the labor required by the industry that the empire told to develop. How many immigrants can move? Most of them stay in cities and become workers.

When Li Junwei was very young, Li Mingxun tested him with the problem of selecting tracks for train tracks. He turned left and crushed one person to death, and turned right and crushed five people to death. Li Junwei performed very quickly and immediately chose to turn left. When Li Mingxun asked him to think about it carefully, Li Junwei chose to turn left again without thinking.

This problem may not have a perfect answer in another five hundred years, but Li Junwei is such a person. But most people will give some reasons, either hesitate or not make a choice but debate with the questioner. However, Li Junwei will not hesitate. There is no guilt or moral pressure in him. Countless facts prove to people that His Highness Yu of the Empire has always had a flexible moral bottom line.
