Chapter 62: Candlelight Night Talk
A table of wine was set up in the main room of the Lu family, and 5 people, including Xu Lang, Lu Xing, and Lin Chao, were drinking and talking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Lu Xing was born in a scholarly family since he was a child, and has no brothers, only one sister. Two years ago, his parents passed away, Lu Xing and his sister depended on each other, and his father was the 2nd magistrate of the county before his death, with some savings, and his family was not bad, and he was also a well-off family.
Lu Xing raised his glass: "Brother Xu, Brother Zhang, Yulin Bay has been separated for more than a few months, and I will toast two of you." β
Xu Lang picked up the wine glass and said to Lu Xing and Lin Chao: "After you leave, I am also very worried, so I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give a glass to the two of you." β
Lin Chao finished drinking and put the cup down, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Pengfei is depressed in his heart, I don't know if I can tell it, I'll listen to it, maybe I can help Brother Pengfei."
"Brother Xu, don't worry." Lu Xingying said, "He's nothing serious, it's just γγγγγγ β
"Who said I was fine." Lin Chao grabbed the conversation, "It's not a big deal if this big tomorrow is going to die." β
Lu Xing hurriedly said: "Be cautious." β
"Be careful, be careful." Lin Chao said nonchalantly, "If you continue to be cautious, you will really lose your country and family." I have a million soldiers and a thousand generals, and how much food does the nine-sided town spend a year. But now these nine sides are full of holes, and the Tartars are free to come and go. Above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; BETWEEN THE PALACE AND MAJESTY, THE POULTRY SHOU EATS LU. The wolf-hearted and dog-lung generations are raging, and the servants and servants have been in power, so that the community has become a mound and ruins, and the common people have suffered from misery. Today's saints are stubborn and self-destructiveγγγγγγ β
"Pengfei!" Lu Xing almost went up to cover Lin Chao's mouth, "How can such a big rebellious thing be said nonsense." β
Lin Chao also realized that he was a little too much, and arched his hand at a few people: "It's a gaffe, forgive me." β
Zhang Hai and He Wenhuan stared wide-eyed, not understanding what Lin Chao had just said. Xu Lang took out a cigarette and lit it slowly: "Brother Pengfei is worried about the country and the people, and I admire him." It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been in the past 300 years, and it is impregnable, and a few Tartars are just scabies, so there is nothing to worry about. β
Lin Chao was interested again: "Brother Xu's words are wrong. The so-called thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an anthill. This Tartar seems to have few people and few soldiers at present, but they are all brave and good at fighting, and the emperor Taiji is even more conspiratorial and scheming. β
Xu Lang secretly said in his heart: "This Lin Chao, I still know a lot." β
A few people chatted about state affairs one by one, He Wenhuan pulled Zhang Hai and asked: "Brother Zhang's martial arts come from what sect and what school, your kicking move is really good, I don't know what the name of this move is." β
Zhang Hai scratched his head and said in his heart: "If I tell you that it is called a high whip leg, do you understand?" β
"My move is one of the eighteen legs of the dragon, called the dragon tail swing, which was created by Hong Qigong, a martial arts master of our homeland, and it is extremely powerful."
He Wenhuan's eyes showed a look of envy: "I don't know if I will be able to worship this old Mr. Hong in the future, even if I can see the old man's martial arts, I He Wenhuan will be content." β
Zhang Hai smiled secretly in his heart: "As long as you change your name to Guo Jing, you will definitely be able to." β
Lin Chao asked Xu Lang again: "Brother Xu, you and I are originally of the same origin, your ancestors were adrift overseas back then, and they have gone through a lot of hardships, but now just looking at the scene of your Yulin Bay, my Ming Dynasty is ashamed, I don't know how you have operated overseas over the years." β
Xu Lang had drunk a little too much in the afternoon, and now he drank a few glasses with Lu Xing and others, he was already half drunk, listening to Lin Chao's question, pointing out the country, and the spirit of exalting words unconsciously came out again: "I waited for the ancestors to travel thousands of miles since Yashan, and I knew that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and the world is vast, not comparable to the Great Song Dynasty." The world is divided into five continents: Asia Minor, Europa, and Americaγγγγγγ β
Zhang Hai secretly stepped on Xu Lang's foot underneath, which means that you said a lot.
Xu Lang didn't care about Zhang Hai's actions, and continued: "There are several countries in every place, especially in this Europe, England, France, Portugal, that is, Francoγγγγγγ β
Lu Xing and Lin Chao were dumbfounded, and when they heard Xu Lang say about the Franc machine, they hurriedly answered: "I know this Franc machine, it is the Hongyi people in Haojing." β
"Exactly." Xu Lang said, "When our ancestors went overseas, they also reflected on the thousands of years of history of China, thinking about how brilliant it was in the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, and the champion Hou chased the Xiongnu across the desert for thousands of miles. But in the Great Song Dynasty, he was defeated in the Khitan in a battle, and then died in the Jurchens, although he fought against the Mongolian Tatars alone in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River for 45 years, and there were also people like Prime Minister Wen who were brave and brave, but after all, after Yashan, there was no China, and after the coal mountain, there would never be China. β
"Coal Mountain?" Lin Chao didn't understand, "Which coal mountain?" β
Xu Lang realized that he had missed his words, and quickly changed the topic: "My Chinese nation has gone through thousands of years of hardships and finally died at the hands of the Tartars, why?" It's not that my soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, or it's not that my Han people are cowardly and say something disrespectful, it's just that we rely too much on the things of our ancestors. β
Lu Xing and Lin Chaoyue became more and more confused when they heard this: "What does Brother Xu mean by this?" β
"2 benevolent brothers, why did there be a thousand-year-old prosperous era in the Han and Tang dynasties, in fact, every household played Hu music. In my opinion, if a country and a nation want to be strong and develop, they must be open-minded, tolerant of all rivers, and tolerant. Xu Lang unconsciously revealed the modern vocabulary as he spoke, "It's just sticking to the things left by the ancestors, what middle school is the body, Western learning is for use, self-contained, and clinging to the incomplete, that is hopeless." β
The more Xu Lang spoke, the more excited he became, and he took another glass of wine: "Do you know that 10 years ago, there was a Western ship named 'Mayflower', which traveled from Europa to America, and before disembarking, the 41 adult men on board jointly formulated a convention called the Mayflower Convention, which said, 'We voluntarily formed a group of citizens. We pledge to comply with and obey all laws, regulations, ordinances, charters, and public offices that are just and equal in order to carry out, maintain, and develop the above-mentioned purposes smoothly, and to enact and enforce all just and equal laws, regulations, ordinances, charters, and public offices that are beneficial to the general interests of the local community at any time in the future. ββ
Zhang Hai couldn't help it anymore and stomped Xu Lang hard.
It was late, so Xu Lang and Zhang Hai didn't go back and slept in the guest room of Lu Xing's house.
"Brother Xu, you are really a good teacher, I have served you. I can also talk to 2 Ming Dynasty people for a night. β
"Huh." Xu Lang's strength has not subsided, "This Lin Chao has some ideas, and he dares to say it." Since we want to develop Qiongzhou, it's good that these people can be used by me. β
"That's right, Brother Xu. That afternoon wasn't over yet. Zhang Hai remembered the topic of the afternoon again. What does Jiang Beiming mean by the need from time to time, you can give me a word for it. β
"Zhang Hai." Speaking of this topic, Xu Lang suddenly became very melancholy, "It's not a good thing to know too much about some things, but since you asked me, I'll talk to you." More than 300 of us have come to this place together, and what kind of social system we want to build, each of us has our own ideas, and it is certainly not the same. At the beginning of the landing, everyone was faced with food and safety problems, and they must have thought in one place and worked hard in one place. But as we slowly develop, especially when we can influence or even change the environment around us, all kinds of contradictions and ideas will emerge. Of course, this is normal, a society must have different voices, and a society with only one voice is definitely an abnormal society. But the question is how do we resolve these contradictions, how do we get these voices to coexist peacefully. β
"Didn't we have a cross-over conference, won't the vote be over?" Zhang Hai didn't understand what Xu Lang meant.
"You've made it simple." Xu Lang counted with his fingers, "In another 10 years, Charles I of England will be guillotined, and Britain will enter the Cromwell period." But even in England, Cromwell was exhumed and whipped after his death, and the Bill of Rights did not exist until more than half a century later. Nearly 200 years later, the Jacobins in France turned on their allies, the Girondins, and the United States had to fight for eight years before the United States was founded. It's the 17th century, not our 21st century, the democracy of any country has gone through bloody wars, this kind of system is built on a lot of bones, do you think we can avoid it? Power is a good thing, but power can also make people crazy, looking at the world for thousands of years, how many people really have power and can voluntarily give up power, do you think there will be Washington, Charles de Gaulle or Mr. Jianfeng among us? It is a very terrible thing to put our hope for the future of our Chinese nation on just one or a few so-called wise holy masters. β
Zhang Hai didn't speak, silently thinking about Xu Lang's question in his heart.
"Zhang Hai, let me ask you one more thing, if one day, we cross the group and face each other, what will you do?"
"Is there really that day?" Zhang Hai asked rhetorically.
"I don't know, I hope not, but the world often doesn't go the way it is."
"I didn't say you." "But I know we can't go back to the 21st century, so we have to stay here." Now we are developing quite well, and I also have shares, dividends, and assets, and if anyone wants to steal my things in the future, then I will definitely oppose him, no matter what reason he uses. β
"That's why I insist on the joint-stock system in tens of thousands of words." Xu Lang looked at Zhang Hai, "The real benefits are far more real than the illusory ideals. β
