This is the third year of the war between Europe and Da Qi. The twenty ironclad ships promised three years ago appeared on the surface of the European sea in a domineering and unreasonable manner, allowing these white old men to feel the power of free trade and market economy.
In Lu Chen's words, at this moment the Europeans finally understood the greatness of Hayek.
The next three years were the three years when Da Qi Finance unscrupulously invaded Europe.
During these three years, Europe chose to resist in the early stages. Even though they could not win on the sea, they prevented the ground forces from confronting the enemy.
However, in the face of high technology, those unorganized and undisciplined soldiers were unable to resist the powerful army of Da Qi.
Not to mention the well-trained soldiers of the Great Qi, they couldn't even defeat the soldiers hired by the Western Xia, Liao, and Jin.
So Europe fell completely, and this place finally opened its doors to Da Qi, allowing Da Qi to come and go freely.
Of course, blowing open the door to Europe is just a means, not the ultimate goal. The goal is to import goods and squeeze the wealth of Europe.
So Da Qi not only had people coming and going, but also left behind a lot of things.
The European nobles were incredibly flexible. After discovering that they had no way to fight back, they resolutely joined the ranks of those who harmed the European people. They began to cooperate with various chambers of commerce in Da Qi, exploiting the labor force in Europe and plundering its resources.
So all kinds of factories were built here, and people entered the factories like livestock, becoming part of Cheng Wei's Da Qi business empire.
John is a plumber from the UK. Today he just helped a lady repair the pipes in her home and felt a little tired.
After changing his clothes and walking out of the company, he planned to have a drink to relax.
When he went out and looked up at the gray sky, John couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn nobles, damn Daqi people, you have ruined the sky of Daiying. I haven't seen the stars for a long time."
Soon he arrived at the bar, raised his hand to order a glass of industrial lager, and drank half of it in one gulp.
The refreshing drink with dense foam not only stimulated his taste buds, but also stimulated the pain sensation on his tongue.
John put down his glass, wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "At least the people of Daqi didn't do all bad things. They did a great job in inventing industrial lager beer."
At this time, a man next to him came over and waved a newspaper in his hand and said, "Hey, not only lager, but also football and boxing matches. I went to watch one yesterday. It was really exciting."
"Damn it! I watched yesterday's football match, too. I can only say that the Hammers are truly beasts. Can't the referee control them? I invested all my salary this month, and now it's all gone!"
When talking about sports events, the whole bar came alive. These rude workers drank the beer in their hands and cursed, venting their dissatisfaction with life.
John likes this kind of atmosphere very much. He thinks this is the life that people at the bottom of society like them should live, and it is also a happy moment for people at the bottom of society like them.
Since you can't sit in a high-end restaurant and enjoy delicious food like a noble lord, just say a few dirty words to vent your anger.
Just as John was about to down his drink and order another, the man who had just spoken to him said, "Hello, my name is Jack."
"Hello Jack, I'm John. Are you reading the newspaper? What does it say?"
"The newspaper said that a training class will be established in the city in a few days. Low-level workers can sign up to participate. If they perform well, they can even go to Da Qi for further studies."
Jack's expression brightened as he spoke. He waved the newspaper in his hand excitedly and said, "You all know about Da Qi, right? It's a wealthy capital. If I could go there and see it, my life would be worth it."
After hearing this, John curled his lips in disdain and muttered softly: "What's so good about it? It's all the same."
"No, no, no, it's not the same at all!" Jack said excitedly, waving the newspaper in his hand. "Da Qi is different from here. Their air is clean, sweet, and pollution-free! The people there are also wealthy. Even if they just wash dishes, they can make a lot of money in a day and buy the kind of big houses that the nobles live in!"
"They have achieved educational equality and universal healthcare. I heard that in that place, medical treatment is free, so you won't have to wait to die because you can't afford to see a doctor."
"People there are kind and nice. It's not a society where favors are important. As long as you have the ability and are willing to work hard, you can climb up and become a superior person."
"People there care about the environment and also urge the government to pay attention to human rights. There are numerous environmental and human rights organizations there, working diligently to address environmental and human rights issues abroad. Did you hear about the serious case that happened here a while ago? The criminal had connections. I heard his uncle was a high-ranking official, and the judge who tried him was under tremendous pressure."
"In the end, it was these human rights organizations that took action and ensured that the demon was sent to prison. Da Qi is simply perfect!"
After talking about the good things about Da Qi, Jack changed the subject and looked at the people in the bar with some disdain and said, "Look at us again, my dear compatriots. What do you see now?"
"This country is like a large machine, working every day, producing products and generating countless wastes."
"One of the raw materials used to produce these things is ordinary people like us. We throw our youth and health into the machines, and then the products are produced, but others take them away for money, and we can only get a pitiful amount of income. Is this reasonable?"
"Look at what our sky has become, look at how much filth is in our mother river. This is all done by those noble lords. They only care about how to make money and never care about our lives."
"Some time ago, the nobles were talking about building a railway. I just want to say, dear motherland, please stop and wait for your people!"
"Everyone, our country is beyond salvation. If possible, do everything you can to reach Da Qi!"
