I have to say that Chen Lifu's remarks moved Xie Yiwei and even Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven.

Li Xuan naturally knows this. The reason why he didn't do it before is not because he doesn't know what to do, but he wants to slow down and wait for the industrial system to mature before doing it.

To put it simply, it is to let the productive forces develop first, and then correspondingly improve the living standards of the people.

Xie Yiwei was moved because he was originally a reformer, no matter what he thought in his heart, but he was able to get up all the way through various reforms. In imperial politics, he is known as a reformer , and a large group of people around him are also reformers.

It's just that Xie Yiwei's reforms are far less radical than Chen Lifu's.

Compared with Chen Lifu, he has become a moderate.

In the past two weeks, Chen Lifu has been jumping up and down, clinging to the word reform, and has attracted a lot of attention in the court, especially the younger generation of officials, most of them are inclined to carry out partial reform, Therefore, many people have switched to Chen Lifu's family.

This made Xie Yiwei feel the pressure.

In the political arena of the empire, especially in the imperial study, it is not enough to rely on the title of a solitary minister on duty, even if it is appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and there must be a large group of officials to support him.

Otherwise, it is rootless duckweed, which will be overturned by the slightest wind and waves.

Any minister on duty who can climb up actually has a large group of officials who support them. This is the so-called factional dispute.

Xie Yiwei used to use the name of a reformer to win over many supporters. Now Chen Lifu's appearance and his radical attitude have made many young officials tend to see Chen Lifu.

It's naturally unbearable to thank Yiwei like this, so he's also been making moves recently, supporting Chen Lifu on the surface, but more importantly, he still wants to take over the dominance of this matter, and even if it doesn't work, he will share more than half of it. fame.

As for Jia Wenbo, this person is famously a stubborn conservative in the imperial political arena, no matter what the reason is, he just doesn't support any changes, and he thinks it's fine now.

There are actually many people who support him. You can say that they are vested interests, or you can say that they are other things, but their biggest reason is:

The empire is already so awesome, why are you still tossing around, what should you do if the tossing is broken?

What is the current state of the Tang Empire?

A proper empire on which the sun never sets, the overlord of the earth, when it comes to comprehensive national strength, Datang can single out the world.

A Datang navy controls the global waters, even in the distant Baltic Sea, Datang's ships can swing in and out, and how do the Tatars who control the southern coast of the Baltic Sea and Denmark respond?

They took an inward move!

In order to prevent the coastal areas from being invaded by the Datang Navy, or bombarding the ports, etc., they moved the coastal people to the inland, leaving only a few heavily garrisoned port cities for foreign exchanges in Europe. Almost all are placed in the Netherlands.

Speaking of which, this united province of the Netherlands has developed rapidly by taking the opportunity of the European war, especially the Tatars let them go, and used this place as a window for their foreign exchanges, which enabled the trade in the Netherlands. The development is extremely rapid, and there is already a sign of a sea coachman.

However, even such a united province of the Netherlands has to be controlled by the Tang Empire, and many of the merchant ships going to and from the united Netherlands are actually Tang merchant ships...

Why did the Tang merchant ship come here? Naturally, it was doing business, and who did it do business with?

and Dutch merchants!

Who do Dutch merchants do business with?

and the Tatars!

To put it bluntly, because of the current state of war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tatars, the Tang Dynasty and the Tatars could not directly trade, so the two sides had a tacit understanding and left a place for the most transit transaction in the United Netherlands.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's the reality.

The biggest trading partner of the Tatars every year is the Netherlands on the surface, but in fact it is still the Tang Dynasty.

Doing business while fighting is the current relationship between the two sides.

In order to protect its own interests, especially to protect the safety of Datang merchant ships that pass through the Strait and travel to nearby waters such as the Baltic Sea, the Datang Navy has directly stationed a small squadron in the Netherlands. However, there is only one fleet per year. Frigates and a few offshore patrol ships are stationed only.

But it is such a small fleet, but it is already deterring the surrounding waters.

Since there are garrisons, there will naturally be naval bases, and with naval bases, there will naturally be colonies.

At present, the Tang Empire is in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, but it has an overseas territory.

Well, this is not a special case. In fact, Datang has a large number of overseas territories all over the world, whether it is India, Africa or the Americas.

In Europe, although there is no large overseas territory, every important coastal port, such as Amsterdam, London, Rome, Constantinople and other cities ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has a small overseas territory.

It is usually acquired by purchasing land.

Most of the major European monarchs are also more hospitable. Generally speaking, when they have watched the live-fire exercises of the Datang Navy, they will generally agree to the purchase of land proposed by Datang to build naval bases and trade posts. request.

Even Spain is no exception.

However, the method should be more relaxed, because Spain is still very important now. In order to avoid excessive stimulation, the Tang Dynasty adopted the method of exchanging arms for land, directly giving a lot of guns and ammunition. Although these Spaniards felt suffocated in their hearts Qu, but for the sake of so many guns and ammunition, I don't care.

So many overseas territories are enough to prove the strength of the Datang Navy!

Needless to say, the army also drove the Tatars all the way from Hetao to Europe.

If it weren't for the fact that the road to continue to enter West Asia or Eastern Europe is too long, and the transportation of supplies is really difficult, the army would have to suspend the offensive for a few years after fighting a battle, and then slowly hoard materials. Only when the materials are hoarded can they continue to attack, otherwise The Army has long gone to the English Channel.

Whether it is comprehensive national strength or military force, the Datang Empire is a veritable global hegemony!

In the hearts of many people, such a Tang Dynasty is already powerful enough, and it will continue to develop step by step. It is estimated that it will not be long before the world will be completely conquered, and the slogan of one earth, one empire proposed by the Son of Heaven will be completed!

Our Datang is so powerful now, and it is developing well, why do we have to change it, what if we change it badly?

This is what many people think!

Or this is their superficial thought, as for the real thought...
