The conversation with Zheng Zhilong was quite pleasant, although the life in Hong Kong was extremely poor, but the standard was equivalent to the modern life on the spaceship, at least the banquet used to entertain Zheng Zhilong could be said to be sumptuous, and it was full of East and West, Japanese sake, Portuguese red wine, Chinese baigan, Shaoxing rice wine, of course, this is nothing.

The wine banquet is actually a good medium, at least in Li Xiao's era, toasting has become respect for others, and if you don't accept it, you look down on people.

As in ancient times, toasting and persuading to drink are also mandatory behaviors, mostly occurring in officialdom and shopping malls. The persuasion, toasting, and punishment of drinking at the wine table make interpersonal relationships extremely complicated and full of dangers. In order to mix with these drinking places, many people have practiced hypocritical, insidious, and cunning coping methods, and have committed many extremely vulgar behaviors. Many people sacrifice their health to gain the affirmation and approval of others. The original simple interpersonal communication has become complicated and unpredictable because of the special wine culture.

The most terrible toaster will let his own beauty deliberately toast to someone who doesn't like to drink, and if that person doesn't drink, he will directly kill the beauty, which is definitely an act of crossing the line.

The so-called wine culture, the simplest is "drinking in a big bowl, eating meat in a big piece", in the live broadcast group of later generations, there is a kind of person who specializes in performing all kinds of masochistic eating fat and drinking five catties of wine, and he is actually very proud, the amount of alcohol is guts, the story of Wu Song fighting the tiger, if there is no "three bowls of no post", it will be much less interesting. And the wine culture that is talked about by the Chinese is simply to sacrifice one's life to accompany the gentleman. This is very different from the Western model of self-entertainment.

The wine table culture is deeply embedded in the power structure of society, and the persuasion itself embodies a kind of Chinese "game of conquest".

Like male classmates who meet to do bad things together, drunken punches, groping pig hands, vulgar jokes, including drunken ugliness, and even joint prostitution are all collateral to build trust. In a semi-public drinking party, where witnesses are at the table, through this humiliating ritual, they share the other's little grip and form a bond between their male compatriots, which makes everyone feel that potential business partners are on the same path as themselves. And whether you can drink a dry glass and drink it properly is a test of whether you can build trust.

The essence of persuasion is to fight wine: resources are scarce, survival is not easy, narrow road encounter, use wine as a weapon, I am stronger than you, you are inferior to me, (in the future) you have to obey me, respect me, and follow me.

The characters who can be mixed between Daming, Portugal, and the Japanese, Zheng Zhilong's amount of alcohol and all kinds of beautiful words are simply a set, so that Li Xiao, who was originally a little bit of a mustard for him, had to admire, and he didn't even drink much, and suddenly he slapped the table and clapped his hands, and more than a dozen women in kimonos poured in at once, wearing heavy makeup, and as soon as they entered the room, they went directly to the side of a few characters who accompanied him.

Li Xiao was full of smiles, but he could only thank the two Japanese women sent to the door by Zheng Zhilong, how much he had watched those Japanese movies, often those generals had a Japanese woman who served the warm bed and served diligently, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, wearing a kimono, and a proper Yamato Nadeshiko, but if you really start to do it, everyone will find that she is the most ruthless and capable of fighting around the general.

At this time, sending a Japanese woman to your bedside may seem exotic to other Ming officials, trying new tricks, but it is a kind of vigilance for Li Xiao.

However, the atmosphere is also lively, Li Xiao controls the distance well, in the end, he is watching Bruce Lee's martial arts enter the pit, how to say that the string of national righteousness is very tight, although countless data show that Japan in this era is pitifully weak, due to the natural political problem, a large number of resources have been used on the daimyo and samurai, the technology tree is seriously biased, in addition to the swordsmith who is attached to the samurai, he can also shake, and the bamboo arrows in the hands of the ashigaru are only twenty or thirty meters long......

This is also the topic of menstruation within the Presbyterian Church, and there are inevitably people clamoring to ride a horse and cross the knife into Tokyo to slash and slaughter, under the banner of avenging China in another time and space.

Of course, this is ridiculous, but many elders list some data, pointing out that the Japanese are always the followers of the powerful, and when he follows you, he is absolutely sincere, but this sincerity also comes at a price, what he asks is to learn the real thing from you, and once he feels that what you have in him is useless to him, then in an instant you will know what it means to be vicious.

Many of the Japanese culture is very despicable, and after looking for the name of the so-called "great righteousness", they will shoot you with peace of mind, anyway, just to find an excuse.

Of course, on the other hand, people don't feel that they want to protect Japan because of their obsession with Japanese culture in later generations, they are all dozens of years old, there are not many otaku among the elders, and there are not many fans of ACG, in fact, it is the attraction of various actresses, but those "rational" elders have said their hole cards.

Under the thousand-year-long feudal system, the Japanese people were industrious and obedient, at least in the face of their masters, even in the 21st century, they maintained a rather terrible obedience.

After all, there are tens of millions of people, and there is basically no difference between races and Chinese, as long as they are on the right track, they will not be poor.

Of course, as with many controversies, there is always something to be done with the mud.

The imperial capital is such a place, he blends the East and the West, modern and classical, next to the world's largest royal court, set up the world's most advanced science museum, art and vulgarity, ignorance and enlightenment, echoing each other.

The rest of the work is very simple, for Li Xiao, let these two Japanese women pour wine on one side, but get acquainted, Zheng Zhilong brought several people in the eighteen Zhizhi on this trip, Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhiguan, He Bin are all listed, although someone sent the information of Zheng Zhilong's family to the public resources that everyone can consult, and even spent a lot of effort to sort out the information, but Li Xiao has the quality to study in advance, but he knows that they are all local "dynamic social groups" in Fujian, and they can control some people.

They and Zheng Zhilong can't be said to be completely subordinate, just look at Zheng Zhilong when he was arrested and sent to the northeast to squat in the bitter kiln, and when he wrote a letter of persuasion to his son with the knife on his neck, he didn't have much unity, and even showed a posture of confrontation with Zheng Chenggong.

These people can be co-opted, but in front of Zheng Zhilong, it is naturally difficult to say, you should change jobs, and you will be greatly benefited if you change jobs.

However, for a character like Zheng Zhilong, who has Japanese samurai, black-skinned guards, and Chinese bandits by his side, he still has to admire it, Li Xiao vaguely understands that the reason why Zheng Zhilong complicates the origin of his subordinates is to maintain independence at this moment, and it is not good to buy them at the same time.

Of course, it is a bit troublesome for such a group of people to be stationed here, and it is not easy to solve the problems of camping and drinking water alone, but fortunately, the family has a big business, Hong Kong is a military port that will radiate Southeast Asia in the future, and there is still some freshwater, but these guys are naturally very unfamiliar with the elder-style living arrangements, fortunately, Zheng Zhilong still has some prestige, and the three thousand Mauser gun troops are enough to scare any unfriendly people, and it can be regarded as the end of the day, and the hundreds of people brought by Zheng Zhilong will be settled.

Li Xiao didn't bring a female secretary by his side, he was still looking for the chivalrous girl in his mind, but those women who were born in a family of women and learned a little kung fu often have rough and dark skin.

Resting in his bedroom at night, but he has already linked to the Internet cable, and now there are a lot of expatriates within the elders, and they regularly upload their work logs every day, and everyone checks their progress.

"We have been waiting for you, Comrade Li Xiao."

"Ah, you're waiting for me."

"It's okay today anyway, so I've been chatting online, according to the work log, you received Zheng Zhilong's group today, do you have any gains."

Li Xiao connected the voice and said: "I have gained a lot, I am indeed a character, I feel that even if I run to the next generation, I can get out of the way, I can't compare." ”

Li Xiangqian's voice came: "Write a briefing tomorrow when you are free...... That's the case, you are the seventh elder in our house who has seen Zheng Zhilong, and make an assessment of him, you know, how to work on Zheng Zhilong is what we will study in the future. ”

"Didn't he send his daughters to the imperial capital for nothing?"

Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly: "We are not qualified to the point of detaining other people's daughters, Zheng Zhilong is a chameleon, not to mention anything else, his Japanese son, but he is still alive and kicking in Japan." ”

Zhao Jiaren complained: "What can't you do, I see, what kind of Japanese woman, isn't it your heart." ”

Living in an American house, marrying a Japanese wife, and inviting a Chinese cook, this is an old saying, at this time the United States has not yet appeared, and the elders have not yet gone to the staking land, but Japanese women can't say that they can't do it.

Especially Erika and Haruko are considered to have colluded together in the imperial capital, teaming up to do things, really bullying a woman, not only can't pass the level of outsiders, but I'm afraid that the elders themselves can't pass their own level.

They are not the British navy that the British king directly sent to China to rob and took the stolen goods to Guangzhou to ask for a trade after the robbery, nor are they the people of the Qing Dynasty who killed the prisoners, after all, they are all people from a civilized society.

Li Xiangqian said: "You know, how to deal with Zheng Zhilong, there are dozens of different versions within us, and the latest version is to use our plastic surgery technology to make someone look like Zheng Zhilong, and then Li Dai Tao stiffened, of course, this idea is too ridiculous, who to cultivate?" Where to find a person who is not in bad shape, can speak Portuguese, Lao Min Chinese, Japanese, and is familiar with Zheng Zhilong's usual life, can't get out of the basket, and is still loyal in the end. ”

Li Xiao said: "This trick sounds good." ”

"What's good, it's just ...... Well, I also admit that if it is the head of those big countries and the power is in hand, it is more appropriate for us to find a way to cultivate a few puppets Li Dai Taozhuang, but it takes a lot of time, especially around us There is really no need for that, and those monarchs in Europe, even if they have plastic surgery, it seems that the benefits are not big. ”

The king relies on the daily audience of others to understand the situation outside, and when he returns to his harem, there are countless women to play, so it's no wonder that he can really have influence on the situation.

"If it's like putting a collar on Wu Sangui and them at the beginning......"

Li Xiangqian immediately said: "That's just a temporary move, it's already forbidden, unless it's to capture an important prisoner, otherwise the golden hoop is a very bad thing, if you want to control people with this, you can rest assured, people will find a way to break free from your control as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "At present, Zheng Zhilong is quite controllable, but he can't let him swell anymore, fortunately, he has also reached the bottleneck." ”

Li Xiao said: "Our actual influence on the south is actually very small, anyway, I feel that Zheng Zhilong's influence is greater than ours." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "It's not just a matter of influence, even if we kill Zheng Zhilong, the following succession will bring a big problem, this place in Fujian, beckoning is the master who is eager to copy Zheng Zhilong's miracle and take risks to make a fortune." ”

"They're all crazy."

Li Xiangqian said: "It's nothing more than poor, of course, your opinion is very important, by the way, I tried to secretly contact the people around Zheng Zhilong, as far as I know, Zheng Zhifeng's guy is a little shaken." ”

Li smiled and said, "I'll pay attention." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "I have good news for you, the railway has passed through the junction of Cangzhou and Dezhou, and has gone south, and the prefect of Dezhou is very cooperative. ”

"That's good!"

The elders relied on the railways to manage the land, and the line along the railway line meant that the rule was secure, not only because the railroad brought a cheap and fast way to transport troops, but also because the logistics cost was reduced, but also because the various outputs and consumption of the region were also integrated into the entire railway network.

When a locality's production needs the national consumer market to survive, the tendency to be independent will be wiped out at the first time, and a locality's desire to consume products from all parts of the country will also allow him to maintain the integrity of the local area as much as possible.

In later generations, many of the railway lines were not set up purely for economic considerations, but were often caused by various historical events, and after the completion of the railway, it may not be good in terms of economy, but because the cost of tearing down and starting over is too high, so it can only be endured.

The elder version of the railroad put an end to this mistake in the first place.

"If you take Shandong, you will be all alive."
