Song Dynasty: Yuan Dynasty, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm still alive.

Luo Fu foresaw the demise of the Mexican Party, which forced him to accelerate his own pace.

On the one hand, he condoned pro-Mexico elements to provide financial support to the Mexican party, and on the other hand, he continuously increased taxes in the name of suppressing the Mexican party.

At its peak, the tax rate was increased to eighty percent—capitalists who earned one hundred taels of silver had to hand over eighty taels.

He even pioneered a new tax—the inheritance tax: if a capitalist wanted to leave his property to his descendants, the portion exceeding 200,000 taels of silver would be subject to a 70% tax.

This tax policy is clearly abnormal, even absurd.

The capitalists just couldn't understand it: Was the Mexican Party in America really that powerful?

Even if you used silver to smash it, it should have killed him by now.

On the other hand, the workers of the Eastern Song Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented golden age.

A large number of middle-class people were born.

A job that requires 40 hours of work per week can allow a family to buy four brand-new cars, a four-story villa, and live a luxurious life with lights, air conditioning, and running water 24 hours a day, and never having to eat a second meal.

The people of Song witnessed an era even better than the Golden Age—the Age of Heroes.

The word "hero" is a heartfelt praise from the Song people for Luo Fu.

Meanwhile, capitalists have lost their enterprising spirit and even feel that it is more comfortable to be a worker than to work themselves to the bone to make money—at least they won't be criticized as capitalists all day long for not making much money.

Without the impetus of wealth, the pace of technological development in the Eastern Song Dynasty also slowed down.

To solve this problem, Luo Fu generously funded the school.

In the name of national security, the government has made huge investments in basic science, which has directly spurred revolutionary technologies such as the Internet, GPS, and semiconductors.

At the same time, military procurement also creates a huge, cost-insensitive initial market.

It can be said that the government played the role of the "ultimate venture capitalist," using public funds to bear the early risks that private capital could not afford, thus paving the way for the subsequent commercial boom.

The government has become a key driver of technological innovation.

Gradually, the capitalists also realized—what the hell is the difference between this and the Mexican Party?

Luo Fu, you've kept this a secret for a long time.

Of course, this situation was achieved through Luo Fu's tough political tactics and does not have the potential to become permanent.

Throughout history, policies have always ended with the death of the person in charge.

The opposition scholar-officials of the Eastern Song Dynasty were very patient, waiting for the day Luo Fu would die.

Did Luo Fu know about this?

of course I know.

How could he not know something that everyone could foresee?

But he doesn't care.

If the Great Depression was an exam, then he has already provided the perfect answer.

If future generations encounter this situation again, they will know what to do.

People die, policies change, but truth endures.

Of course, Luo Fu wouldn't do nothing either.

With his support, numerous trade unions were established to strengthen the working class and equip workers with weapons to protect themselves.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Luo Fu gazed into the distance, his deep eyes piercing through the prosperity of the era and looking toward the future, leaving behind only a lonely and towering figure.

……

On the other side, in America.

In order to prove the superiority of their own system, the Mo Party began to compare itself with the Eastern Song Dynasty in every way.

The area where the most competition is in science and technology—they want to prove who is the future of humanity.

The Cold War began.

But Tolo's prophecy, like a curse, clung tightly to the Mexicans.

The Mexican vanguard, initially idealistic, quickly became corrupt within a few decades.

The Mexican Party leaders initiated reforms, but with little effect, even a major purge of corrupt officials proved futile.

The overly oppressive political environment has instead caused the vanguard to lose sight of their former ideals and beliefs.

In the past, there were countless pro-Mohist elements within the Eastern Song Dynasty, providing technology and funding—even before the news of the Eastern Song Dynasty's first successful atomic bomb test in Japan reached Luo Fu's desk, the atomic bomb's architecture and data had already been transmitted to the Mohist party.

Nowadays, high-ranking officials of the Mo Party are using special means to obtain luxury goods from the Eastern Song Dynasty for their own enjoyment, sending their children to study and live in the Eastern Song Dynasty, and then turning around to exaggerate the oppression of the Eastern Song imperialists, claiming that as long as imperialism is eliminated, people all over the world will live a good life.

The Mexican Party, one of the most brilliant lights in human history, has been extinguished.

Sixty years later, the Americas announced their acceptance of the leadership of the Song Dynasty and returned to the rule of the Eastern Song.

History repeats itself in a striking way: after the Eastern Song Dynasty lost its biggest rival, the Mo Party, a large amount of military expenditure was saved and used to improve people's livelihoods, propelling the Eastern Song Dynasty to an unprecedented height.

Subsequently, the old habits of the Eastern Song scholar-officials resurfaced—since there were no external enemies, let's all happily become parasites.

Party strife and corruption are escalating.

1552 years.

An unprecedented workers' movement broke out in Nanjing and quickly took control of the entire city.

Grand Secretary Wen Ce led the nine-year-old emperor out of the city and south, fleeing all the way to Fuzhou.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the Fuzhou government office, like thunder rolling across the courtyard.

Nine-year-old Zhao Tong opened his intelligent eyes, sorting through the information in his mind, and unconsciously revealed a confident expression.

"It's me again? It seems that the Song Dynasty can't do without me after all. Only I can turn the tide and save the collapsing edifice."

He knows how to do this problem—because he's already done it once before.

The Song dynasty and its traitors cannot coexist; the imperial cause cannot be confined to a corner of the country.

Migrate south!

He wanted to return to his beloved hometown.

As for matters of state, they are naturally left to the Prime Minister.

By the way, where is the Prime Minister?

Zhao Tong (Zhao Shi) summoned the Prime Minister Brunei, and then discovered something that terrified him—where was his father?

Why didn't you come along?

The nation cannot function without its prime minister.

Damn you, God! Why is every time I time travel to another world this stressful situation?

What do you take Zhao Shi for?

Superman?

He doesn't have that ability.

Never mind, I'll cast it.

Once you've done the work of the Anle Gong (a public welfare organization), you can enjoy life to the fullest. It's much better than working in a factory in your previous life.

Even if he can't become the Duke of Anle, given the current level of development in the Song Dynasty, his life won't be too difficult.

He could just become an actor—playing Emperor Shengzu of Song and the last emperor of Song. He'd be perfect every time; no one knows how to act better than him.

Most importantly, his body is only nine years old, which means he has plenty of time and energy to enjoy life.

He never wants to suffer again in this lifetime.

Ultimately, Zhao Tong and Brunei were captured by the New Mexico Party in Antarctica.

Because Zhao Tong cooperated fully, in order to appease the people, the New Mo Party retained his imperial throne, but completely confiscated his power.

This time, the New Mexican Party learned from the lessons of previous revolutions, united the proletariat worldwide, and launched a final attack on the bourgeoisie.

From then on, the nine provinces were unified.

The Great Song Dynasty was established under the leadership of the proletariat.

……

1852 years.

The distant constellation Centaurus.

A civilization existed there.

Their technology lagged behind that of the Song Dynasty by four hundred years, but they possessed a calmness and apathy far surpassing that of the Song people, and had a stronger ability to survive.

They don't have organs for communication—they can communicate directly through electromagnetic waves in their brains, and their thoughts are transparent to each other.

Therefore, their development speed far exceeded that of the Song Dynasty. If given more than a hundred years, they could surpass the Song Dynasty.

They amplified their signal through the sun, transmitting it into the universe in hopes of finding other civilizations to help them escape this hellish place surrounded by three stars.

The Great Song Astronomical Observatory of the Solar System received this message.

The Grand Secretary of the Song Dynasty looked at the information on the screen and smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, we will go and liberate you."

"Of course, to prevent you from making technological breakthroughs and thus becoming hostile towards us, we need to give you two gifts."

The Song Dynasty used its latest technology to unfold two protons into two dimensions, inscribe circuits on them, and transform them into intelligent robots. It also accelerated the two protons to the speed of light.

Four years later, they reached the constellation Centaurus.

These two sophons locked down the basic science of the Centaurus civilization by destroying their particle collider.

When the Trisolarans learned the whole story, they spoke from the heart:

"Thank you, Kublai Khan."

The Song Dynasty never stopped its external conquests.

Of course, they also encountered many civilizations with technology far surpassing their own.

But each time, the Song Dynasty relied on traditional skills to escape and seek development in the vast universe.

Ultimately, the Song Dynasty left its mark on the entire universe.

The Song Dynasty is still alive.
