557 Duchesses

After the overall plan was decided, Sun Lao, on behalf of the Supreme Executive Committee, announced that it would be necessary to rearrange the two tasks that would extend from this: one was the distribution of crew members on the two ships, and the other was to pay close attention to the production of commodities for trade at sea.

For this reason, Sun Lao further introduced that before the fleet left the port of Dili, he had suggested that Duchess Margaret grow sugar cane in her plantation, and the duchess agreed, estimating that her estate would soon reach the scale of thousands of acres of land, apparently, they were planted specifically for us.

The Duchess said that if she made white sugar, she did not have this technology, so she only planned to do primary processing, and planned to use the ready-made technology to make brown sugar and sell it directly to us, I think the Duchess's approach is very clever, obviously it is beneficial to both of us, it can be said to give full play to our comparative advantages, it is simply a typical example of the theory of wealth creation through trade in Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations".

Therefore, I hope that Lao Wang can give the duchess some technical guidance.

Everyone was happy when they heard it, obviously the focus of everyone here is different from the work that Sun Lao said, and a few older people couldn't help but joke that Sun Lao, a dashing and bachelor who has been a single person for half his life, actually has true feelings for a certain woman, which is rare, rare!

Many people next to him also nodded frequently in agreement, saying that if you think about it, it is really a person who has changed the environment, and now thousands of miles away are still thinking about looking at the business of his prospective daughter-in-law, Sun Lao, let's put it bluntly, when will you two get the bow certificate?

Sun Lao was a little shy and embarrassed at the beginning, but after all, this old face has seen a lot of the market, and he is used to talking and doing things, so he immediately responded honestly that in the old world, the days of being single were more and more accustomed to it, and the more he enjoyed it, so he really didn't want to get married, and he always felt that he was making trouble for himself, as for the offspring or something, he had already figured it out, people are people, not livestock, for livestock, their only value is to pass on the ancestry, But for a real person, the value of life in this life is more diversified, and whether there are descendants or not is not the only value of life.

Seeing that many people present were stunned, Sun Lao said again:

"Uh...... Isn't what I just said a bit ruined? Actually, even now, I still hold this view.

It's just that now that we have come to this new world, we suddenly want to change our way of life, and we also want to live a new life with a wife and children. In the past, the reason why I was afraid of these troubles, in the final analysis, was a problem of the cost of living and the cost of living.

Therefore, if a person is at the bottom, joins you and figures it out, and really does not regard inheritance as the highest goal in life, then there is no need to live like an animal at all, and there is no need to live so tired.

And now, these problems suddenly don't exist, so I really ...... Well, I'm thinking about the man in the distance......"

So in the midst of laughter, Sun Lao quickly explained, everyone, please don't think about going to the side, we are showing our true feelings, we haven't hit a home run yet, and the duchess does need our technical support, I believe everyone understands that this is a mutually beneficial thing......

Everyone laughed and said, of course we know this truth, don't explain it to your old man, in short, when will you get married?

Mr. Sun replied, well, it probably depends on the meaning of the woman, but now I am still struggling with a question, that is, to enter the Catholic church to hold a Western-style wedding, or to hold a Chinese-style ......

Before Sun Lao's words fell, everyone immediately responded that they couldn't do it!

Seeing that everyone hadn't reacted yet, Sun Lao had no choice but to make it clear that if ...... If I marry the Duchess in church, then I will first join the Catholic Church and be baptized.

The venue suddenly fell silent, obviously, with Sun Lao's current status, once he joined the church, he was afraid that it would have a major political impact on the future.

"What about the Duchess's opinion?"

At this time, someone in the venue asked.

"The Duchess did not insist that I must join the Catholic Church, but I knew that she sincerely wanted me to join because she was very devout in her faith......"

"Religious beliefs, it's up to you, let's not interfere......"

Li Junming, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke.

"It's also ......"

"This is a characteristic of this era, and if you want to be famous in this world, you have to adapt to this characteristic, although I am an atheist."

At this time, someone in the crowd also responded.

"Theism and atheism are not the point at all, the point is whether the religion turns people to good or evil! Whether it is peaceful, tolerant, or xenophobic and violent is the fundamental point that distinguishes normal religion from cults! ”

Li Junming spoke in the corner again, although the volume was not loud, but it was really justified and not loud, and Lawyer Li's speech always gave people a feeling of being sudden, so as soon as this remark came out, it immediately triggered a discussion among everyone.

"Hey, what Lawyer Li said makes sense!"

"So a religion that makes people do good is a good religion, like the orphanage of Gills."

"It's the same with Buddhism!"

"Yes, the problem is that the Buddhists are too reclusive and too negative......"

"Well, from that point of view, Christianity is indeed in the WTO."

"Don't forget that there is also Confucianism, that's what is called more accession to the WTO!"

Someone spoke loudly.

"Confucianism teaches people to rule the country and level the world, and it has a fart relationship with ordinary people!"

Sure enough, when it comes to Confucianism, there are fans and black fans, and someone in the crowd immediately retorted.

"Why does it have nothing to do with the common people?"

"So what's the matter? That's the things of the adults, teach you how to rule the people obediently, so that the people are cruelly exploited, and they still feel that it is natural and acceptable to ......."

There are a few young people who say this, and they don't know what books they have read in the library recently, not to mention the truth in these words, how many of them, in short, everyone suddenly found that today's young people are becoming more and more vibrant, and they have indeed gained a lot of knowledge compared to the past.

"People also talk about ethics and morality, is it good?"

"Ethics? Amusing! Is it the ethics of three wives and four concubines, male superiority and inferiority of women, or the morality of kings and ministers, fathers and sons? ”

At this time, it was Xia Da who got up angrily to refute.

"Uh......"

"Don't have anything to say?"

"Beauty, it's not that you don't have anything to say, but you're afraid that you will be hit by your words again......"

Well, the cute response of a group of boys in the venue immediately made Xia Xiaoou laugh......

"So I think it's still Christianity in terms of advancement and justice."

It was Wang Xue who said this, everyone had heard that Wang Gong had been a disciple long before the crossing.

"Wang Gong, this ...... That's not true, Catholicism is not tolerant, and it fights and kills all day long......"

Lao Wang added next to him.

"But then it was forgiven, didn't it?"

Wang Xue retorted calmly, and then added with a serious face:

"Of course, the situation is different now, Catholicism is indeed less tolerant than Protestantism, although both are of the same origin, but the latter is after all Reformed and has more free spirit, while the former is much more conservative and xenophobic."

"That's right! Otherwise, you will join Protestantism, and then develop the duchess into a Protestant......"

"Pull it down! Talking through the brain! ”

"Oh my God! Are you trying to provoke a religious war in Elder Sun's family? ”

"Mind you, this is not the Old World, and there are very few ideas of religious tolerance in this era!"

After hearing the statement of a stunned young man, many people immediately spoke up and retorted.

Well, seeing that the topic of the meeting was about to be tilted to the side again, and it was the kind of topic that could not be agreed upon after ten years of debate, Lao Ba, the vice chairman of the Executive Committee, immediately came forward to stop this topic, he slapped the table to make everyone quiet, and said that you should go to your dormitory to discuss after the debate is still over, this is a work seminar, everyone!
