MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 782 : Domination of Southern Xinjiang (8) On the eve of the storm
Knowing that the next economic crisis is not far away, after the assassination of Fauti II, from the current supervising state of Phoebe to the governors of the major provinces, they are very trustworthy and said that they were in accordance with the previous agreement with Faou. According to the agreement of King Ti II, Celiti was elected as the new president of the United States.
After all, we are nobles of noble blood. Even if there is no **** to supervise our promise, we cannot violate it! And since we elected you Celiti as president as promised, should the various conditions that Fauti II promised us in the past, those that are being fulfilled and those that have not been fulfilled, should be increased to reward our loyalty?
The enlightened nobles sneered at this, go to the ghosts, we still don't know why you keep your promises? Still need to code?
Therefore, when Fauti II's body was still cold after the assassination, the orthodox aristocrats who opposed Fauti II's leadership and the enlightened aristocrats who supported Fauti II's leadership began to fight over the issue of overweight.
Of course, the secret fights of these nobles naturally cannot be exposed to the public eye. Just as the issue of the succession of Sasti was actually the issue of the power of King Fauti II, the focus of the debate reflected in the public eye is Faou Mention II's enlightened policy.
Among the orthodox aristocrats, there are many top students who have graduated from high-level universities. They pulled out a group to write a mountain-like thesis, arguing that the liberal policy did not change much of the economic crisis. It was just a variety of coincidences that allowed the economic crisis to be overcome. , lies hidden in the data, attracted a lot of attention for a while.
And the core argument of the orthodox aristocracy is naturally that since the enlightened policy has not played the role that the enlighteners boasted, then it is better to abolish them, otherwise the world will become more and more popular!
You see, after the implementation of the enlightened policy, some city council elections actually have property weighting. Isn't this the root of all evil? Is there any reason to judge a person's social status, morality and right to participate in politics based on his wealth? Shouldn't a legitimate society determine a person's rights by blood! How can you use property to decide!
Of course, it is the most wonderful and correct truth in the world for nobles with noble blood to have huge wealth at the same time. How can it be possible to let political power be determined by property!
And real estate is also depreciating, the price of luxury goods is getting more and more expensive, and many nobles are getting less and less dividends, which makes them unable to cope with the increasingly high luxury goods to maintain their dignity as nobles, so that many nobles begin to become more and more noble. The more rundown, the more powerful the business group is.
Not to mention the hated Fauti II, who gave the business group a green light all the way, and now that the business group is so powerful, Fauti II should not be blamed for his death!
The orthodox nobles don't like Fauti's enlightened policy, and most of the enlightened nobles naturally don't like these policies. They are just a faction dragged away by Fauti II, although they are now fighting for power for Celiti III. , but most people know that what they are fighting for is actually the power of their own faction.
Now the leader of the enlightened aristocracy and the speaker of the Great Council of Siberia, it is the son of Naisa III, the governor of the slave-catching province who supported Fauti II in the past. This man has the same attitude towards reformers as his father. , thinks that if Xibo is in chaos in the future, the reformers will definitely be the first to blame.
Therefore, just as in the past after the successful coup d'état of Navarra I, the infighting of the two factions made Navarra I the first sacrifice of his own espionage system, after a period of infighting, the enlightened nobles sacrificed first also Fauti II. Supported business groups, and those so-called enlightened policies.
Of course, as a henchman of Fauti II, he obviously cannot abolish Fauti II's national policy of observing his entire life when his bones are still cold. Therefore, the slogan of the enlightened nobles is not to abolish the enlightened policy, but to improve the enlightened policy.
Many of the arguments put forward by the orthodox aristocracy are valid. What does this mean? It shows that there is indeed a problem with the open-minded policy! Of course, as enlightened nobles, we will not abandon the enlightened policy, but since there are problems with the enlightened policy, we cannot let it go. Therefore, we must implement a moderate enlightened policy, that is, the "new enlightened policy".
Under the guise of the "New Enlightenment Policy", the enlightened aristocrats compromised with some moderate orthodox nobles in exchange for benefits, and on the other hand, they modified all the parts of the enlightened policy they did not like, such as the freedom of speech law, what? Those enlighteners pointed at the nobles and scolded them, but they couldn't catch them. Is there any reason for this? Is there any king law?
Therefore, the so-called "new enlightened policy" is actually a reaction compared to the era of Fauti II. It is a counterattack of the old nobles against the enlightened policy. However, the business groups can do nothing about it. After all, they are not Nobles, or small nobles who have been in ruins for a long time, are powerless to resist those who occupy the upper echelons of Xibo.
But this kind of betrayal will undoubtedly turn into anger and slowly squeeze in the heart, because it is not sad for people who are born blind, and it is sad that people with normal vision are blind again. The policy of enlightenment is not good for the whole people, but it is good for the policy of business groups. After they experienced the sweetness of enlightened policy and then lost it, the anger was undoubtedly dozens of times greater.
In addition, a series of measures, such as the opening of freedom of speech and press by King Fauti II, greatly enhanced the influence of enlightened people on the citizens. The power of public opinion is growing at an unprecedented rate, and it has long been out of the control of priests and nobles. to this side of the enlightener.
Now the society is still very stable. When most people can have enough to eat, no one is willing to throw blood for the benefit of the business group, but as long as the firewood burns, the anger of the business group will wipe out all the old everything burned.
The first firewood is the upcoming economic crisis. The economic crisis will disrupt the existing balance, and that time will be an opportunity for business groups.
As for the second firewood, it came from Leng Yi who was walking in Batiros as an ordinary civilian. He wanted to bring a new invention to the citizens of this world to balance the influence of possessing spiritual power.
What are the specialties of the streets of Paris in the 19th century? There was an inexplicable smile on Leng Yi's face - the answer was "barricade".
"...When the people at the bottom were still ignorant, the upper classes knew that the time for the next wave of economic crisis was getting closer and closer. Although Sesti III was judged as weak by the people of the time, he was still unwilling to step in like this. Crisis, so after his initial administration, he still tried his best to make some efforts."
"But if a man is tied with his hands and feet, his efforts are destined to be trivial, only to make his struggles all the more pathetic and to complicate the evidence: the Orthodox, the Enlightenment, and Celiti III Their own forces are mixed together, causing the situation to exceed the three parties, even the original promoters of the Great Revolution, and even everyone's predictions."
"For this, it can be seen from the advent of the terror era of the Great Revolution, when the early revolutionaries were sent to the guillotine one by one, that the situation was out of control."
— From Tocqueville’s The Old Regime and the Revolution
The event mentioned in this later famous book of reflections on the Great Revolution is undoubtedly the difficult appointment of Seth III in 2918, that is, the promotion of Naisa of the Smopi family as Chancellor of the Exchequer, which is different from the enlightenment. The "New Enlightenment Policy" of the nobles, "Sesti's Economic Reform", can also be called "Nisa Reform".
The Smokey family is a family with an ancient history. It can be traced back to the "Sydney Unity Organization". It was a nobleman who followed the "madman" Hulls a long time ago. Therefore, in the Dima era, it was the most powerful local nobleman. , once competed with Dofan I for the initiative over Shibo.
However, after the failure to attack the Naro Fortress, the strength of the Smopi family was severely damaged, and thus began to gradually decline, and now it is just an ordinary noble.
In fact, the Smopi family is not an exception. He is a representative of a group, that is, those who followed the "madman" Hulls in the "Sydney Unity Organization" movement. Under the guidance of Dima, the group that initially emerged.
These families used to be in Dima for a while. When Dofan came to study here, Dima was under their control, but after the establishment of the Parson Dynasty, the nobles around Dima became the followers of the Parson Dynasty. New nobles, and most of these old nobles are excluded.
It is precisely because of this that the Shibo nobles are actually divided into two groups. The nobles who rose through the Parson Dynasty are more similar and more conservative than the nobles in other areas of the Southern Border Continent. , inseparable from this group of nobles.
Most of the families who have continued from the Helsian era to the present~www.novelbuddy.com~ still maintain the guidance of Boligu and focus on business. Even after being pushed out of the upper class, they still use their previous accumulation to devote themselves to business and trade. Those so-called business groups that supported the Enlightenment were inseparable from these families.
In any case, hundreds of years after these families withdrew from the political arena, they were brought back to the front again, at least Naisa was like this. He was originally just an ordinary official in a small town, but he was one of the enlighteners. Being noticed by Celiti III, he was promoted to Minister of Finance in one step.
How dare you inadvertently give orders in danger? Naisa was promoted to the chancellor of the Exchequer. After the ecstasy and panic, he also started his own reforms. Of course, he did not dare to carry out too drastic reforms, but in fact only made some moderate reforms such as spending cuts and tributes. , as well as restoring some of the "old enlightened policies" that were repealed.
However, even this reform was attacked by the orthodox and enlightened aristocrats at the same time. The most criticized point was that he borrowed a lot to maintain financial balance, and invested in domestic business and trade construction through borrowed loans. try to profit from it.
An enlightened aristocrat slammed Naisa in the noble press: "If the loans in the time of Fauti II were only a gentle breeze, then the loans in the era of the loan-mad are as violent as a downpour, which will undoubtedly cause our country to fall into a rut. In the predicament of borrowing and repaying loans, it is like a clown walking on a tightrope, if you are not careful, you will fall off a cliff and shatter your bones.”
Therefore, when the autumn harvest in 2918 was completed, the financial tables were compiled, showing that after the reform of "Neisa", the economic situation had not improved much, and the nobles immediately had an excuse to oppose the financial plan of Seth III, which led to The so-called "aristocratic revolution".
