Zeng Jize left the delegation, but the delegation would not stop its great historical mission. After Singapore replenished briquettes and food, it rushed to London. The United Kingdom, the most powerful developed country in the world, will be the main destination arranged by Downing for the delegation.

Downing began to prepare for his takeover of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in London. Luxembourg was the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world in later generations (because of its small population), first as the steel manufacturing center in Europe, and later as the financial center of Europe. However, Luxembourg is not the case now. After the defeat of Napoleon the Great, the most important London Treaty that determined the fate of Luxembourg determined its current pattern - its fortifications were one of the most powerful in Europe, so the 5,000 soldiers in Prussia were reluctant to leave, and the French-speaking area was basically all classified as Belgium and became the "Luxembourg Province". The most fatal thing is that the French-speaking area is an industrial area and the richest place in Luxembourg. Therefore, Luxembourg is now an agricultural poor country. Before Downing took over the Grand Duchy, a considerable number of Luxembourg people could not stand the poor immigration, and the biggest destination was the prosperous United States.

After the news of Downing's takeover came out, all the immigrant-oriented Luxembourg people stopped and watched, because the world's most influential industrialist might bring hope for Luxembourg to revitalize. In other words, their new monarch had already won great prestige before he took office. It can be said that the subjects opposed Downing's takeover Luxembourg were basically zero.

The Grand Duke of Windsor did not disappoint his new subjects. After taking over government affairs, the first plan was the ultra-low tax policy. The average industrial and commercial tax rate was 1%, the consumption tax was zero, the inheritance tax was zero, the agricultural tax was zero, and the tariff was zero. Yes, all goods came to Luxembourg and were treated with local goods, and they were exempted from tariffs on all countries in one direction. In other words, in Luxembourg, you can buy the cheapest goods in Europe except for the origin.

When the tax rate is low, the economic vitality will increase. The civil servants working under the Grand Duke of Windsor not only have their wages not reduced, but also have increased. This is the charm of the rich Grand Duke. Luxembourg people will wake up in their dreams. The population of Luxembourg is only 200,000, like a large factory. The Grand Duke has no pressure to do such a "charity".

Please note that the inheritance tax is zero, which will attract wealthy people from all over Europe to Luxembourg. If the rich come, it would be strange if the economy is not improved. Our Grand Duke is the best example. Many people suspect that the Grand Duke's inheritance tax policy was tailored for themselves.

If the consumption tax is zero, of course it encourages consumption.

Since it is its own country, Downing will make a "backup" of all its industries in Luxembourg in case of emergency needs, telegraph machines, steel companies, aluminum companies, bicycles, toothpastes, toothbrushes, sweeteners, medical devices, pharmaceutical factories, arsenals, phonographs, computers...

These factories only seek technical reserves and do not value sales. This alone will benefit Luxembourg and a large number of high-tech talents will also come to Luxembourg. Science and technology and education are an important part of the great policy of the Grand Duke. He will spend a huge amount of money to establish the University of Luxembourg and invite outstanding professors who teach English, German, French and Dutch to build Luxembourg into an European academic center. As for basic education, let alone the goal of popularizing 12-year high school education for the whole country, the highest standard in the world. These are all about money, and it is the place where the rich Grand Duke uses it.

Luxembourg's national defense mainly adopts good relations with the great powers. As long as it has good relations with Britain, France, Prussia and Belgium, it will basically be unexpectedly invaded. Of course, the local defense force will also begin to be built and gradually replace the current Prussian defenders and Hesse mercenaries. Luxembourg has such a small population, so he can only follow the old path of Switzerland - everyone is a soldier.

The Grand Duke took action! Luxembourg's economy will grow like a snowball, and every Luxembourg man's face is filled with a happy smile. The only bad thing is that the Grand Duke actually declared Luxembourg an atheist country, "because evolution has completely denied the possibility of God's existence. As a rational state leader, I have reason to believe that religion belongs to the past and the future belongs to science. Luxembourg will not persecute religious beliefs, but there will be restrictions on the abuse of religious freedom: 1. Any preaching that uses hell after death and similar methods to scare the people will be included in the crime of intimidation; 2. Any temptation by going to heaven after death or having 72 tribute virgins in heaven, etc.

Instructing the people to enter the church will be included in the crime of fraud; III. The University of Luxembourg will open an open religious debate station, and welcome people with any religious view to come to debate. Debate requires logic or evidence. Those who hold the view that "God has absolute authority and must not believe it" will not get the opportunity to debate; IV. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be dictatorially ruled by Lord Downing Von Windsor within 10 years, and a referendum will be held to choose a new social system after 10 years. If the Grand Duke of Windsor loses his power in the referendum, he will be guaranteed with his personal reputation and will leave peacefully and take away all his personal imprints." (Excerpt from the Telegraph on June 1856)

There is no doubt that an atheist country will keep many outstanding talents out, but Da Gong doesn't care. He himself is the representative of the most advanced productivity and advanced technology of this era. The country he wants to create is a rich, powerful, rational, scientific, free, fair, sincere and brave country. Regardless of whether Luxembourg's future will be successful or not, this will be a brilliant mark in the history of human development.

In Luxembourg, evolution theory will be included in the compulsory courses in primary schools as important as the four operations. Every elementary school student must understand from an early age that all living things have a common ancestor. All living things in the entire earth's biosphere are truly a big family. Every grass, a tree, a cat and a mouse can be our partners. The true love lies in our love for the animals we raise and plant, all the animals we fly in the sky, swimming in the water, growing on the mountains, and buried in the ground, because they are our brothers and sisters.

This is based on rational love, which will last forever and can withstand the wind and rain and the passing of time.

The Devil's Apostle finally made a big move. Over the past few days, the church's severe criticism of Downing has been higher and higher. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has never been at the forefront as it is now. The French even suggested that Napoleon III interfere in the establishment of a country like Luxembourg. The king of the Prussian Kingdom was also furious about Downing's arrogance. Despite Bismarck's opposition, he openly announced that he would no longer support the founding of the New Luxembourg.

Napoleon III was so happy when he heard the decision of the Prussian king. Haha, Xiaoya, finally hit the wall, you are arrogant! The current situation makes Napole happy the most. You don’t have to rush to the front and be embargoed. The Kingdom of Prussia is the vanguard. He was scared by Tangning’s business empire and dared not express his opinion publicly.

Due to the broad foundation of Christianity, no politicians led by the Queen in Britain were willing to support an atheist country. Prince Albert was scolded by his wife and dared not say anything. Under pressure from parliament, Prime Minister Parmesan withdrew his title of "Duke of London" to Downing! This is a strong warning.

It was really a blow-off of thousands of people. Even the Bavarian king was not satisfied with Downing's performance. Downing was in danger of losing Princess Sissi! The monarch of the Principal of Hessen-Cassel said that he would no longer continue to provide mercenaries to Downing next year unless Downing gave up his atheistic proposition.

Tang Ning didn't expect that a "atheistic" country-building plan would encounter such huge resistance.

Perhaps his plan for great development in Europe was fundamentally wrong, and one person could not fight against the ideology of the entire Europe.
