【0231 Warm Night】

No matter how beautiful Wu Xuexia is, it can't reverse Wei Bao's hatred in his bones, or rather, it is Wu Xuexia's innate sense of superiority that successfully aroused Wei Bao's hatred of wealth and power!

As a person who was close to thirty years old before the crossing, Wei Bao is naturally very aware of the helplessness and cruelty in reality.

No matter how society develops, the stronger the strong and the weaker the weaker, and resources and wealth are concentrated only for a few. The rich will be richer, the poor will be poorer, the gap between the rich and the poor will get wider and wider, and no matter how hard the poor try, they will not be able to surpass poverty.

100 million yuan is a small goal for some people, but for migrant workers who do not have an annual income of about 100,000 yuan, it is only 1,000 years of work without food or drink.

Wei Bao once watched a documentary, "Seven Years of Life", which selected 14 British children from different walks of life and recorded their life trajectories. It is recorded every seven years from the age of 7 until they are 56 years old. The 49-year-old study revealed the brutal fact that classes are passed down from generation to generation, and that the children of the rich remain rich and the children of the poor remain poor.

In addition to the bonus of luck, the children of the poor family are not the opponents of the children of the wealthy in all aspects.

Children from different classes already show significant differences at a young age. Upper-class John and Andre grew up reading the Financial Times and the Observer, knowing clear that they would go to a top private high school, then Oxford, and then politics.

Some people in the lower society hope to make money as a horse trainer, and some people hope to have the opportunity to meet their father, and Paul, who was born in the slums, even regards "having enough food, less punishment and less beating" as his life wish.

Forty-nine years later, high society John became an entrepreneur and devoted himself to philanthropy, Andre became a partner in a law firm, and their children continued to receive an elite education.

Paul became a mason and Symon became a driver, and they had a large number of children, most of whom continued to make a living selling their labor at the bottom.

In a society where everything is in ruins, there are many stories of the counterattack of the poor family, but in a society like the late Ming Dynasty, in this stable stage, the differentiation and solidification of classes will become more and more obvious, and it will be more and more difficult for the poor to become a noble son.

According to Harvard's open class "What is the Starting Point of Equity": "Even the effort itself depends largely on the fortunate family environment. ”

Both Roosevelt presidents graduated from Harvard, and four generations of the "Bush family" are Yale alumni, and George W. Bush even joked during his campaign: "I inherited half of my father's friends." ”

Upper-class connections, wealth, elite consciousness, educational resources, etc., from father to son, son to grandchild.

And it is even more difficult for the lower class to counterattack.

This chance is not impossible, in terms of probability, it is about one or two percent.

Children from poor families can get ahead, no matter what way, they are all considered to be one in a hundred.

Wei Bao even thinks that as long as he succeeds, even if the final end is a class room or a grave, it is still a talent! It's just that in modern times, he doesn't have the courage to think like this!

There will always be such a type of person in the world, who can transcend his family, bloodline, and environment, and who can break free from the shackles of the times and make the world look at him differently, and this kind of person is called a hero.

Maybe in the future, social stratification, class solidification, and it will be more and more difficult for the poor to counterattack, but so what? People live in this world, no one can complain about their origins, we can only accept the status quo, accept the ordinary self, and seek change.

Wei Bao has already imagined various routes for his rise from the first few days after crossing over, but what he rejects is hugging his wife's thighs and eating soft rice, in that case, it is better to die!

Even if you know that hard work cannot become a person on the pyramid, you must always insist that hard work is to surpass yourself and make yourself better.

What Wei Bao can do is to live a good life within the scope of a realistic and controllable environment, not to forget, not to give up the dream of the past, and to pursue it hard.

Wei Bao won't say anything cruel to a little girl, that will only show that he is low-level, at this time, he looked at Zhao Jinfeng, to see what Zhao Jinfeng meant, Zhao Jinfeng didn't let him send it, so he wouldn't send it.

Zhao Jinfeng did not hesitate, and smiled at Wei Bao: "If you want to send it, you will work hard." ”

A few simple words made Wei Bao feel like a spring breeze, secretly thinking that this is what everyone should show, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng's answer almost made Wu Xuexia faint on the spot, and she walked away angrily, and several of her personal maids and followers hurriedly followed.

Wei Bao glanced at Wu Xuexia's back and smiled at Zhao Jinfeng, Zhao Jinfeng was also angry, but he didn't smile like Wei Bao, everyone was smiling without showing their teeth.

"I'm not trying to be angry with the girl, it's really this Miss Wu who can make people angry." Wei Bao defended himself.

Zhao Jinfeng was noncommittal, and slowly walked towards Wei Bao's outside, and the maid Xiaocui behind her and several domestic slaves sent by Zhao Kehu to wait for Zhao Jinfeng hurriedly followed.

Wei Bao and Zhao Jinfeng walked side by side, Fan Xiaolin, Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya saw this, and they didn't follow them very interestingly, but Lin Wenbiao and more than a dozen people from the Statistics Bureau and Wei Bao's personal guards followed Wei Gongzi.

"Is it cold or not?" Although Wei Bao is warm, the weather is very good today, the earth is beginning to warm up, the early spring is still warm, the whole world is full of vitality, and the whole world is full of business, but Wei Bao still asks with concern.

"It's not cold." Zhao Jinfeng smiled, and his eyes fell on the wooden houses in Wei Baojia.

Wei Bao's heart was beating and he wanted to take Zhao Jinfeng's hand, but Zhao Jinfeng seemed to sense his intention and didn't give him a chance, but held his elbow with both hands.

Xiao Cui behind Zhao Jinfeng also noticed this detail, covered her mouth and smiled.

Wei Bao looked at Xiao Cui, his face flushed, and looked at Zhao Jinfeng, Zhao Jinfeng's side face was so beautiful, delicate like white jade, that Wei Bao couldn't wait to drag Zhao Jinfeng into his arms and kiss him wildly now.

When Zhao Jinfeng and Wei Bao were together, they always felt very novel and fresh, and they had never experienced such a moment of getting along with a boy, but she was afraid, especially since she had never seen the scene of her parents' affection, she had left a shadow on her since she was a child, and she was afraid that she would really hand over a heart and really form a family with a man one day.

When watching the play just now, Wei Bao had already shaken her hand, which was equivalent to showing her love intuitively, but Zhao Jinfeng did not respond, or rather, agreeing to Wei Bao to send her home, it was already a response, but this kind of response was far less direct than Wei Bao's attack.

"Normally, when it comes to this point, my mother has already urged me to sleep." Zhao Jinfeng saw that Wei Bao didn't speak, and said softly.

"Well, I'm about the same time, but I usually sleep when I want to, eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm sleepy, and I'm not too bound by time." Wei Bao Road.

"You're so comfortable." Zhao Jinfeng said enviously.

"It's not hard, is it?" Wei Bao smiled: "However, it is also a very happy thing to have my mother in charge, and my mother also likes to take care of me, and I have been getting better recently." ”

"Well, my mother is very good to me, and the best person in the world to me must be my mother." Zhao Jinfeng said.

"Shall I visit her someday?" Wei Bao peeked at Zhao Jinfeng.

Zhao Jinfeng understood what Wei Bao meant, and knew that Wei Bao wanted to propose marriage to his mother, so he blushed and didn't talk.

"Okay, if you don't like me, I won't entangle." Wei Bao's mind was hot, and he actually said like a stunned young man: "If you like me, it is a big problem, and I can solve it." ”

It's okay to slowly pursue a certain girl in modern times, but this is Da Ming, Wei Bao knows that the opportunity for men and women to meet is too precious, and it looks like cheating, so he seized this precious opportunity, and wanted to hear Zhao Jinfeng's sincere words.

Wei Bao didn't forget Sister Fang in his heart, in fact, he could feel that Sister Fang had a little friendship with him, maybe she was more enthusiastic than Zhao Jinfeng. So I want to settle down with Zhao Jinfeng, and make it clear to Sister Fang earlier, don't delay other girls.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words. I need my mom and dad to nod their heads. Zhao Jinfeng said softly.

"I know, didn't I ask you now? In my case, you mean the biggest, the most important, if you don't like it, two people won't be happy together. Wei Bao said.

Zhao Jinfeng looked at Wei Bao and felt that Wei Bao's idea was very novel, she had never thought of it like this, "I don't know." ”

"Well, then if your father and mother want to find you an in-law now, a man you haven't met, maybe better than me, maybe worse than me, will you agree?" Wei Bao asked.

"No, it won't." Zhao Jinfeng's face flushed, and he bowed his head and said.

Wei Bao smiled, secretly thinking that the ancient girl was implicit, "Then if you knew that person was me, would you promise your father?" ”

"Oops, I asked again." Zhao Jinfeng glanced at Wei Bao, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know, but I agreed!" Wei Bao stared at Zhao Jinfeng's plump breasts, and his voice was a little excited. Although she has been in the modern era, this is in Daming after all, if the matter with Zhao Jinfeng is completed, she will be her own wife, and the two of them will grow old. Thinking of the words "white-headed" to old-fashioned, Wei Bao had a feeling of blood boiling: "It is as white as snow on the mountain, and it is as bright as the moon among the clouds." Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to break up. Today's wine fight, Mingdan ditch head. On the ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west. Sad and miserable, there is no need to cry when you get married. I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads are inseparable. The bamboo pole is curling, and the fish tail is so curling! Men are heavy-minded, why use money knives! ”

Wei Bao is not keen on poetry, he will have a little love poems, that is when he was in college, thinking about how to write love letters all day long, rummaging around for information, and over time, memorized a few poems.

I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads are inseparable. Zhao Jinfeng silently recited this poem in his heart, felt so beautiful, and looked at Wei Bao: "If my father and mother agree, I will not object." ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, this is the promise, but he still felt dissatisfied, as if he was persecuting other people's girls, "You have to say that I am willing, otherwise it looks like I am forcing you." ”

Zhao Jinfeng originally said that he didn't object, but he had already mustered up a lot of courage, where could he say 'I do' according to Wei Bao's request, his face was even redder, he turned his head away, and ignored Wei Bao.

A group of entourages behind Wei Bao, as well as Zhao Jinfeng's maids and entourage, everyone was more than 30 big light bulbs, and they heard the words of the two clearly, and they all admired President Wei's thick skin, and they were all anxious for the two of them. If this is placed in modern times, a group of people will definitely shout in unison 'together', because the blind can also see that Lang is in love with concubines, you and I are willing, a match made in heaven, and the most beautiful moment in the world is nothing more than this.

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn erhu last time? Have you learned? Zhao Jinfeng saw that Wei Bao didn't speak for a long time, so he secretly went to see him, and saw Wei Bao's thoughtful look, thinking that he had broken his heart, and hurriedly looked for a topic.

Wei Bao shook his head and said: "This time is too busy, I haven't been free, and I'm about to go to Shanhaiguan to participate in the scientific expedition." ”

"Really? Are you going to Shanhaiguan to participate in the scientific expedition? Zhao Jinfeng said happily: "I don't know why my father told you like that last time, my father once said that he chose a son-in-law, at least he had to lift people." ”

Wei Bao sweated, three black lines swept through his head, and someone came again? Zhao Kehu is also this kind of request? Sister Fang's father and grandson are also this requirement, if Daming chooses a son-in-law like you, where are there so many indicators for lifting people? Aren't there a lot of beautiful girls who have to wait until older women?

But think about it, Zhao Kehu and Uncle Sun Jiu are both middle-class, and it is understandable that the middle-class wants to find a son-in-law with a high point, and Sister Fang and Zhao Jinfeng are not very old, and they still belong to the stage of 'taking pretty'.

"Your father should relax the restrictions on me, didn't your father ...... in front of you last time" Wei Bao didn't finish speaking, afraid that people would listen to it, and it would also save face for Zhao Jinfeng. After all, it is disgraceful for a woman to take the initiative to propose to a man.

Zhao Jinfeng understood what Wei Bao didn't finish, and he didn't mind very much, but he was very grateful that Wei Bao didn't say it, and said with a smile: "My family's affairs, my father can't be my mother's master, so no matter what he says, he doesn't have to take it too seriously." But if my dad was against it, he wouldn't do it. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Your family is so democratic, your father only has the right to recommend and veto, but has no power to make decisions." ”

Zhao Jinfeng didn't stop Wei Bao saying these new words, and felt that Wei Bao was very interesting to speak, but he could also understand the meaning of Wei Bao's words, and said with a smile: "You are talking so strangely, but it's almost like this, my mother can decide my life's events." But my dad had to agree to it beforehand. ”

"It's easy to say, I'll get your father first, and then I'll get your mother. For you, it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, and I'm going to burn it. Wei Bao looked unyielding.

provoked Zhao Jinfeng to not hold back, covered his mouth and sneered: "I won't tell you, none of them are serious." ”

"Is it okay to be serious in everything?" Wei Bao smiled: "And everything is true, you don't know, I have a lot of things to say to you." ”

When Zhao Jinfeng heard this, his heart was warm, he felt very comfortable, and said shyly: "If you think about it, you don't have to say it, I will think of you occasionally." ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's love, that's love, understand?" It doesn't matter if a man thinks of a woman, or a woman thinks of a man, it's the same, it's called worrying. Don't you hear that as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world! ”

"Three sentences are inseparable from this matter, I knew I wouldn't tell you." Zhao Jinfeng was ashamed of Wei Bao to go faster, and when he arrived outside the armor, he got into the carriage.

Wei Bao had the heart to go up together, and looked at Zhao Jinfeng pitifully.

Zhao Jinfeng smiled: "Okay, just send it here, right?" ”

"No, I have to send you back!" Wei Bao said: "Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep all night tonight." ”

Zhao Jinfeng was speechless to Wei Bao, no matter how embarrassing the words were, it seemed that when they came out of Wei Bao's mouth, they could be serious, as if they were talking about very ordinary things.

"There is a difference between men and women, you send me back, so that people can see and gossip." Zhao Jinfeng politely declined.

Wei Bao really wanted to have a parting hug, it was best to kiss for a long time to be happy, but thinking that Daming would do this, it should be a little difficult, so he had to give up, so he had to say: "Then you go, I will send it far away until you go home." ”

Zhao Jinfeng couldn't resist Wei Bao, his heart was full of emotion, he glanced at Wei Bao affectionately, and closed the curtain of the carriage.

Just this glance, Zhao Jinfeng's eyes are picturesque, and they have been eternally portrayed in Wei Bao's heart.

Xiaocui ate and smiled, blessed Wei Bao, finished the salute, got into the carriage, and the carriage started.

Wei Bao didn't pay attention to Xiao Cui, and waited for the carriage to go twenty or thirty meters before he followed on foot.

"Childe, why don't I have someone prepare the car?" Lin Wenbiao said.

Wei Bao waved his hand and didn't speak, stopping Lin Wenbiao's suggestion, there are not many roads, what kind of car do you have?

"Miss, how infatuated is Wei Gongzi? Really follow behind, congratulations, miss. Xiao Cui said to Zhao Jinfeng happily.

Zhao Jinfeng was bumping into the deer in his heart, the six gods had no owner, his face was flushed, and he glanced at Xiaocui when he heard the words: "Dead girl, make fun of people." ”

"With such a talent as Mr. Wei, the lord and the lady will definitely like it, and the young lady is just afraid that a good thing is coming." Xiaocui grew up with Zhao Jinfeng since she was a child, so she is not afraid of Zhao Jinfeng.

"Dead girl, say." Zhao Jinfeng couldn't be angry, and went to Ha Xiaocui's itch.

"Oh, spare my life, don't say it, miss, I'm ...... I...... Don't talk about it......" Xiao Cui twisted her waist and giggled.

Wei Bao really sent Zhao Jinfeng home, and saw Zhao Jinfeng enter her family's mansion before returning, humming happily along the way: "You said that you want to escape, but you are destined to settle down." The love is extinguished, the love is extinguished, and the hollowness is left. Spring has gone, flowers have fallen again, and good intentions have become empty. How to describe my pain, a lifetime of love misplaced your hand. ”

This is a sad lyric, but it is sung by Wei Bao with a joyful atmosphere and is quite comic.

Wei Bao has a bit of talent in singing, plus he listened to the old drama just now, and he is full of feelings, which is touching in the empty night.

Lin Wenbiao and a large group of followers were so happy to see Gongzi, but everyone held back their laughter, not because Gongzi sang badly, but they had never heard a small song with such a tune, and for a while, they couldn't accept it.

If Fan's head was there, he would have immediately learned Wei Bao's song and sang along with it.

————— Fortune Line—————

Wu Xuexia was not in such a good mood as Wei Bao, on the way back, she interrogated the maids and followers who had just been scattered, more than a dozen people, and they were busy for more than an hour, but they didn't receive any news at all.

"How is that possible? Such a big movement of the poisonous fog must not be something that can be done by one person, even if others don't know the details, it is impossible that they have not even heard of it, right? I don't believe that Wei Bao's subordinates are monolithic! Three or four thousand people, many of whom came from outside the border, how could they be so like-minded with him? Do you not speak, or are you reluctant to give money? Wu Xuexia angrily asked questions.

Wu Xuexia's personal maid said: "Miss, I said to give silver, and secretly asked several people, and I said that as long as I can reveal the news, I will be rewarded with at least five taels of silver!" And it's okay to take the money first, but no one really knows. ”

Wu Xuexia frowned, snorted silently, feeling very annoyed, going to Wei Bao's A with Zhao Jinfeng tonight, she had already suffered a belly of anger, and the A who went to Wei Bao with her father during the day also suffered a stomach of anger, which was equivalent to two gases, but there was no gain at all, and her heart was panicked.

"Forget it, you all go and rest! Tomorrow when the eldest brother wakes up, it seems that it is really necessary to contact all the Lizheng, Jiachang and rich families as Zhao Yuanhua said, and there are many people who can always know some news. Wu Xuexia said.

Several people agreed together and told Wu Xuexia to retreat.

————— Fortune Line—————

Until he returned to his residence, Wei Bao still showed a smug smile from time to time, it was really cool today, I didn't expect Zhao Jinfeng to come.

Wei Bao is very satisfied with Zhao Jinfeng in all aspects, but the name is a little more rustic, but there is no way, who makes this era, phoenix and flower, these two, account for at least two percent of the girl's name, and two out of ten must have phoenix or flower characters.

"Happy today, aren't you?" Fan Xiaolin leaned against the door frame, looking at Wei Baodao, who was being served by Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya, changing clothes and preparing to go to bed.

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "I already told you." You shouldn't eat Zhao Jinfeng's vinegar, right? ”

When the three girls heard this, their expressions were a little unnatural, which made Wei Bao happy, it is normal for women to be jealous, if he is with other women, they don't react, that is not generous, it can only mean that there is no self in his heart.

"I have Jin Feng and the three of you, so I'm very satisfied, and it's okay to stop thinking about women for the rest of my life." Wei Bao said sincerely.

"Don't talk about death yet." Fan Xiaolin said with a smile: "Don't mention it far away, at least what if there is at least one Sister Fang?" ”

"Sister Fang?" Wei Bao hesitated for two seconds and said, "I have nothing to do with her." Besides, her father insisted that she find someone to lift, whether I could be admitted to Xiucai, it was difficult to say whether I could be admitted to the exam. ”

"Yes, the president is going to go on a scientific expedition, and there are only a few days left." Fan Xiaolin said.

"Well, it's a hurry! Now here are Mr. Wu and Miss Wu looking for trouble! I dare to make one or two fist products before the scientific examination, and I can make a profit! Otherwise eating for so many people is a big problem! Wei Bao said. He originally wanted to expand the manpower as soon as possible, the more people there were, the faster the work would definitely be, and the more he could improve the construction progress, but at present, the stalls of the project are too large, and there are still many projects that need to be put into the schedule immediately.

In addition to the construction of walls and roads, the construction of river embankments, seawalls, reservoirs, and aqueducts and drains must begin immediately! Otherwise, catching up with the spring flood will be another big trouble, and it is now the Xiaoice River era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the weather is very abnormal, one will be flooded, the other will be drought, without these water conservancy facilities, it will definitely not work! The circulation of products in this era is too inconvenient, so many people eat, and they cannot rely on purchased food, in that case, once there is a problem with supply, it will be out of the basket.

"Can cement be sold directly for silver?" Wang Qiuya asked.

Wei Bao nodded: "I have also thought about this problem, cement is of good quality, can make the building stronger, improve the progress of the project, but the price is not much lower than ordinary clay, at this time, people, only recognize the price, and cement to form a reputation in the market, can only rely on word of mouth, it takes time, for a while, it must not be counted on." "After all, there is no advertising and no media in this era.

Wang Qiuya snorted, "You still have to ask for things that people need to use immediately." It's a pity that we don't have a purchase channel for leather goods and medicinal materials, and the trade inside and outside the customs is controlled by the Wu family and a few big families in western Liaoning. The land route is controlled by them, but can the sea route work? Can it be received? ”

"The sea route is controlled by the Mao family, which is even more troublesome." Xu Rui answered.

Wei Bao smiled: "I'll figure it out!" You don't have to think of a way from these traditional goods, let's not grab that profit from them! As long as Miss Wu and Master Wu, the plague gods who are looking for trouble, leave quickly, it will not be a problem. ”

Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui nodded at the same time, all agreeing with Wei Bao's opinion, they all believed that President Wei could make money-making goods as soon as possible, and they all had confidence in Wei Bao.

The next day, before Wei Bao woke up in the morning, Xu Rui came to knock on the door.

Wei Bao couldn't help but be angry, he didn't sleep until he woke up naturally yesterday, he was woken up, his habit is to sleep until he wakes up naturally, and he can get up a little calmer, otherwise he will be very angry when he gets up.

The urn asked angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya discussed it, and finally guessed the word to decide the winner, Xu Rui lost, so it was decided that Xu Rui would call the door.

"Childe, Steward Lin said that there is important information." Xu Rui said.

Wei Bao opened his eyes, his eyes narrowed, and he snorted, knowing that it must be related to the Wu family brothers and sisters, "I'll get up!" ”

When Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pushed the door in.

Wei Bao put on his underwear in the bed, and Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya hurriedly served their son to dress and wash. Wei Bao didn't say a word, and came to the living room to see Lin Wenbiao.

"Childe, the wire report sent to Zhao Lizheng's house and the wire report of Zhao Li's family who died said that Zhao Liquan's son Zhao Yuanhua, Wu Dagongzi, and Miss Wu sent people around early in the morning to contact all Lizheng, Jiachang and wealthy households to inquire about the poisonous fog, and to use the arrears held by these people to coerce the common people in the four to make a fuss against Gongzi." Lin Wenbiao said.

Wei Bao didn't say anything, nodded, knowing that Lin Wenbiao had sent eyeliner to several Lizheng at the beginning, and among the chief and the rich family, only Zhao Li's family sent eyeliner, although he had guessed this information before, but with accurate information, it can still make people feel at ease, at least have an accurate judgment in advance!

"It's a problem." Xu Rui, who rarely speaks, said.

Wei Bao sat down, knowing what Xu Rui meant, and he also knew that it was very troublesome, but he was not afraid that someone would check the poisonous mist, and he was the only one who handled the poisonous mist, and he was the only one who knew how to make it. What I'm afraid of is the arrears of the common people in the four together, how much is that? Together, it will be five or six hundred thousand taels of silver! It is impossible for him to give this money, but if he does not have this money, not only will these ordinary people have nothing to live on, because there is no land to cultivate, but also the arrears in the hands of the gang of Lizheng, Jiachang and rich families will also become a pile of waste paper, and they will definitely keep troublesome him.

You can't use the poisonous mist again and punish it with another god, right? With such a large scope, these people may not be able to run to Zhao Liquan's A to concentrate again, where is there such a good opportunity?
