Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

First, please do not make random associations. The extra chapters are just reasonable deductions of the imaginary world. Don't make everything "at that time and that moment".

Second, the author is writing nonsense, thinking that there would be no such tragic child labor in China if there were overseas colonies to transfer conflicts. Brother, the example of child labor in my last chapter was directly copied from the British news report at that time. You don't think that if Britain transferred conflicts abroad, domestic workers will have a happy life, right?

France evaluated that its industry could not compete with Britain at that time. One of the main reasons was that child labor in France could live two years longer than child labor in Britain.

Third, a brother called for the introduction of parliament and political parties in two consecutive chapters.

Let's talk about the European Parliament first.

Each member of parliament represents a large group of stakeholders. They speak for their own interests and aim to keep warm and counter the royal power.

The direct confrontation target of the parliament is the king, not quarreling and compromising!

Only after the king is killed, their main job is to fight each other.

It's okay not to kill the king, but to kill the king's financial power, military power and personnel power. That is constitutional monarchy.

Let's talk about political parties in Europe and America.

If you want political parties to play a role, the premise is to get rid of the king, or take away the king's power (constitutional monarchy).

The essence of political parties in Europe and America is that after the king is gone, the people below discuss how to divide the spoils.

Let's take the Democratic Party of the United States as an example. This party initially represented the interests of farmers, and later joined the workers. It can be understood as a farmer-labor party.

After the hollowing out of the United States, farmers and workers can no longer support a big party. How can the Democratic Party increase its mass base? Pull in ethnic minorities.

It's still not enough, so pull in illegal immigrants.

It still doesn't work, so create a group of mass bases yourself. LGBT was created for votes.

The original American political parties still represented their own interest groups, but in the end they only represented themselves, and even created a group for themselves.

If the Ming Dynasty in this time and space had any parliament and political parties, it would inevitably be party disputes in the early stage. After they integrated various resources and compromised with each other, the final result was that they united to undermine the emperor.
