New Shun 1730

After the contact with Anthony was completed, Kang Busu just waited quietly in Amsterdam for things to ferment.

On his desk are various Dutch newspapers and magazines published in the past few days, and there are special people in charge of translation.

"Netherlands Observer", "Philosopher", "The Source of Human Happiness", "Netherlands Editorial" and other most influential newspapers and magazines in the Netherlands of this era were piled on a table.

The news of the massacre in The Hague has spread, and the Netherlands is not that big.

After Liu Yu left, a wave of editorial magazines emerged in the Netherlands. After the "yellow" tabloid run by Liu Yu was banned, a large number of imitations began to appear.

And because of the decline of the Netherlands, many knowledgeable people and elites are thinking about why the Netherlands has declined and where the future of the Netherlands lies.

In fact, before Liu Yu started those tabloids, the "anonymous editorial" form originated in the United Kingdom and had already become popular in the Netherlands.

This is determined by the economic foundation. Business is developed, there are many idle people, and the proportion of middle-class people is large. Editorials can spread easily. Just like the Scholars Association here in Dashun, the things they write can actually be considered editorials if separated. They are a class that has both money and leisure and takes the world as their own responsibility.

These things were all written anonymously. Although the Netherlands also has publishing controls, in fact the power is in the hands of the regency class in each city, and of course they will ignore things that are beneficial to them.

Kang Busha didn't know that these magazines were not controlled by Anthony's family, but by the real pen writers in the Netherlands.

After the translator translated all these things, Kang Buyu turned over a few pages and felt that the big thing was done.

Here, all of them are using this matter to criticize the Archon, basically from all directions he expected.

Whether it's inciting hatred against the British or opposing the uncrowned monarchy, it's all covered.

And, obviously, many anonymous authors were loyal readers of the pornographic tabloids of the year.

The ability to create yin and yang, express emotions, and incite chaos has already been learned to the essence. Reading some of the articles can make people want to clench their fists, make their teeth sore, and immediately smash up the Consul's Residence in The Hague.

Kang Busha only thought that this was the means of Anthony and others, and it seemed that in a few days of brewing, something big was going to happen in the Netherlands.

The general direction of things was pretty much as he expected.

However, there is something vaguely wrong in the details.

A few days later, the trend of a large number of editorials began to change. From the initial output of emotions, they gradually changed to a basically unified style of writing.

"Is this a plan to treat the symptoms and the root cause?"

A few days later, after reading a bunch of newly published anonymous editorials, Kang Busha felt vaguely that something was not right.

A few days ago, there were a large number of articles purely expressing emotions.

And now there are more than half of them piled on the table, all of which lead to the problem of the "archon system" itself.

It seems that this is a perfect opportunity to use this opportunity to directly abolish the consul system and the centralization of federal provinces.

In more than half of the articles, there are only two words that appear most frequently.

free.

Virtue.

On the contrary, no one really cares about the dozen or so people who died in the first place.

Kang Busu read a few articles and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Almost all of these articles advocate the autonomy of provinces and cities? This was completely different from what he imagined, that the Dutch people were so angry that they directly overthrew the rule of William of Orange.

Dashun needs a strong Dutch government to cooperate with the Netherlands. Can the original federal provincial assembly, which is useless, solve the various problems of cooperation between the two countries?

A meeting has been held for two or three years and no results have been reached. With such efficiency, how can we cooperate?

At that time, whether to open trade to Dashun will have to be discussed for three to five years. I am afraid that the cucumber dishes will be cold.

Kang Buluo now sincerely hopes that the current consul of the Netherlands will be a person like Louis XV and Queen Elizabeth, who can tell the truth. Once you decide to cooperate with Dashun, you will carry out your will and get things done quickly.

The current direction of incitement is not quite right.

And, I have to say, there are indeed masters here.

There were several passages in it that made Kang Busha feel that his sophistry was indeed not bad.

[The monarch and the country cannot coexist. 】

[Once there is a monarch, the characteristics of the country are replaced by the monarch's preferences. The characteristics of a nation or country are either aggressive, conservative, cowardly, or open. And all these, after having a monarch, whether aggressive, conservative, cowardly or pioneering, are the characteristics of the monarch himself. 】

[When the monarch replaces the country, does the country exist or not? 】

[For example, the empires in the East had sailing explorations earlier than Columbus, but soon gave up on the entire Southeast Asia. So, is China's national character conservative or pioneering? 】

[This does not depend on their nation or country, but on the emperor's personal preferences. 】

[Exploration and conservatism cannot coexist. It cannot be said that the national character of the Eastern empire was both conservative and pioneering. Just like you can't say that something is both true and false. Because the two are contradictory. 】

[The two are contradictory and cannot coexist, so it can be proved: Either, there is no nation in that empire; or it can be proved that when the monarch’s personal preferences replace the characteristics of the country and the nation, then the nationality of the country and the nation will It was gone in that moment. 】

[Just as the national character of our Dutch nation is a unique and free virtue that is completely different from the whole world. When we also have a monarch, our national character is replaced by the monarch's characteristics and preferences. ]

[Everyone's free will dissipates and becomes the flesh and blood hands and feet of the monarch to achieve the monarch's personal preferences and personal will. ]

[When a de facto monarch appears in the Netherlands, it can be said that at that moment, the Dutch nation has perished. ]

[If the Dutch nation perishes, then the Dutch Republic will no longer exist. ]

[From the above, it can be proved that the monarch, the country and the nation cannot coexist. ]

These are some of what Kang Budai can understand. There are some more behind, which are derived from theology, God's will and the like. Kang Budai can recognize all the words after translation, but it is difficult to interpret them together.

Excluding this part of theological content, the following is a general discussion of the national virtues of the Netherlands.

Freedom, nobility, simplicity, integrity, giving up personal interests for the benefit of the group, etc., almost all the positive words in the Dutch language have been added.

After general empty talk, it is said that the noble national virtues of the Netherlands have been polluted, tainted, and corrupted, so that most people do not have the original virtues of the Netherlands.

This is of course due to the cultural invasion of France, and the consuls in the era of William II and William III, and the degeneration of virtues caused by centralization.

To purify the virtues of the Netherlands, the first step is to abolish the consuls who are really in power and eliminate the influence of France.

This cannot guarantee that the virtues of the Dutch nation will be restored to their original state, but it can guarantee that they will not continue to degenerate.

How can the virtues of the Dutch nation be restored to their original state? This requires people with virtues to lead the Netherlands and elect people with virtues who can work for the public welfare.

Now, due to the degeneration of virtue caused by centralization and French influence, few people can possess all the virtues of the Dutch nation. So how can we effectively select people with real Dutch virtues?

This requires limiting the identity of the elected.

First of all, you have to be rich, with a property of at least 100,000 guilders.

Because the poor must be lazy because of laziness, which is not the virtue of the Dutch nation. Since he is poor, it proves that the virtue of the Dutch nation in him does not exist, and he cannot guide the virtue of the Dutch nation.

Moreover, the poor must be greedy, and greedy people cannot seek welfare for the public interest, and greedy people will definitely consider their own interests and try to enrich their property from public affairs.

If Judas had 10,000 silver coins, he would at least not sell Jesus for 30 silver coins. Therefore, the moral standards of the rich are higher than those of the poor, which is beyond doubt.

Secondly, those who are eligible to be elected must donate a sum of money to some public welfare.

Whether a person can work for the public welfare after being elected is a future that no one knows.

However, if he does not do charity or donate money to public welfare on weekdays.

Then, after he is elected as regent, will he consider the welfare of the public?

…………After a lot of restrictions, the author of this article said that according to these conditions, a large number of regents should be elected, which is the most perfect system.

Because there is only one consul, so the influence is huge.

If there are a lot of regents, because everyone is elected, everyone's influence is not great, and they check and balance each other.

In this way, even if these people want to seek personal gain, they will be restricted by others...

Each city must have a large group of regents, and each province must have a large group of regents, and the federal parliament only needs to exist in times of war and coordinate the relationship between the provinces.

Seeing this, Kang Budai finally laughed. Although it is not good to say something heartbreaking, the person who wrote this article must have a family fortune of about 100,000 guilders... Otherwise, wouldn't it be more virtuous to have a million guilders? Why not limit it to one million?

The Netherlands is already in chaos enough now. If it really gets like this, wouldn't it be completely over?

Then I thought, it's the same in the east and the west.

People in the court say all day that if you want to govern the country, you must be close to wise ministers and stay away from villains, and use upright people. Who is a wise minister and who is an upright person, there is naturally a set of standards, and this set of standards can just fit yourself in...

After laughing, I originally thought about this matter with the political correctness of "valuing righteousness over profit" on the Dashun side, and thought that this would not be someone deliberately blackening the Republicans?

Pretending to be loyal?

This is similar to the selection of officials in Dashun, which requires a family property of more than 1,000 hectares of land, and saying that if there are more than 1,000 hectares of land, there will be no corruption? This will definitely cause an uproar. Although many people think so, this is absolutely politically incorrect in Dashun, and no one can say it.

But after thinking about it carefully, based on my observations in the Netherlands these days, I understand that this should not be pretending to be loyal, but just like some of the ideas on the Dashun side that the Dutch cannot understand. This is an idea that the Dutch basically recognize, not a reverse blackening.

Seeing this, Kang Budai was a little uneasy.

He wondered what Anthony and the others were doing?

How did it become like this?

Directly inciting emotions and driving William of Orange away would be the fastest solution without causing long-term chaos.

Long-term chaos is not conducive to the smuggling business of Dashun and the Netherlands. The Netherlands only needs to change a consul, not to abandon the current federal state.

If this continues, won’t there be chaos soon?

This is not good.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he was powerless. When the tabloids were not banned, he could completely control the direction of public opinion and write his own articles, which would definitely lead the issue in the direction he wanted.

Unfortunately, the tabloids have been banned now, and without the tool of incitement, he can only worry.

"What is Anthony doing? Will he do it?"
