Admittedly, sometimes strange ideals such as those are more attractive than money, and even if they are difficult to become mainstream, they are not non-existent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Jian sent Lin Xi away, and when he was about to make a prototype of the trading company that had greased himself and prepared for future sales before going to Nan'an County, he met such a person.

This person did not go to the place where the trading company recruited people to report his name, but went directly to Chen Jian's home to find Chen Jian, Chen Jian had heard the name of this person, and the other party was also one of the members of the Min County Council, named Hu Lin.

Before, I only heard his name but didn't see his person, but when I met, I realized that what I had heard before was true.

The man was in his thirties, and was dressed in a very simple shirt that was commonly worn by commoners, but it was cleanly washed. Under his feet is a pair of very ordinary cloth shoes, tall and sturdy, this kind of person is easy to see in places such as docks, and at a glance it is completely ordinary and common people.

It's just that this person is not ordinary, first of all, he doesn't know how high he is compared to Chen Jian, who doesn't even have a word.

Secondly, if it is about family background, if the richest people in Fujian City get together and talk nonsense, Hu Lin's father can sit in the last row and talk and laugh with a group of energetic and influential figures.

His father's family has a silk weaving workshop and a sea boat, he also received a good education when he was a child, and he is the eldest son in the family.

However, Hu Lin died by himself, and at the age of twenty-three he wrote a book called "Dream City", which describes a city that makes many people quite excited: even if it is in a dream, there is naturally no hierarchy, everyone eats and lives together, works together, all income is redistributed to the public, and children receive the same education from an early age...... There is no poverty, no wealth.

By the way, I also want to wait until the future to inherit the family property, buy a piece of land to build a real dream city, if you can't build a city, then build a dream village, dream workshop, dream factory......

This book is actually quite well written, described in the form of sleepwalking, and written with spicy strokes about some of the ugliness of reality - he has seen a lot since he was a child, so it is more life and life to write.

This caused his father to be furious, announcing that he would either write a book apologizing and stating that the previous statement was all nonsense, or he would not be allowed to inherit the family property and leave the house.

Hu Lin was young at the time, and without saying a word, he announced that he refused to accept his father's family property and left the Yingge Yanwu in high society.

At first, I lobbied around for the rich to finance the construction of an ideal city, but the result was obviously a bad one.

Relying on his advantages of being proficient in justice, pen and ink, and seeing a lot of business contacts and big scenes since he was a child, he can't be hungry.

Sometimes he will help some small craftsmen who can't come up with so much money to fight lawsuits for free, and have called for some remarks that are beneficial to the middle and low levels, and he has become famous over the years.

If the property and real estate are not enough for a certain amount, there is no right to vote, and even if it reaches that line, it is still a secret ballot, but a large part of the middle-level people still think that Hu Lin is a good person, so Hu Lin can be elected as a member of the county council, and he has the most votes every year. It's just that the county council elected thirteen more to go to the capital to participate in the national council, that is, the county council was elected, so he received the least votes every year.

When such a person came to see Jian Chen, Jian Chen couldn't be lazy, and he muttered in his heart at first, for fear that this person would come to ask him for money to help him build a model handicraft workshop or village community, which was obviously an inevitable failure, and of course Jian Chen would not throw money into it to do such a good deed.

At this time, there is also the basis for this kind of utopia, and the whole world inside and outside the fog is actually the same.

There is the utopia of Sun City in the west, and the hidden congregation of the heart in the east, the foundation has already appeared, and the base is enough to easily appear This trend of thought, which is unavoidable and even does not depend on the differences in cultural traditions.

After meeting, Chen Jian was ready to cry poor to prove that he was powerless, but he was really shy without such great feelings.

However, Hu Lin didn't mention this matter at all, but praised Chen Jian a few words after greetings.

"Brother Chen, I am a few years older than you, and I have heard more about your reputation. A few days ago, when I saw the paper you pasted, I felt in my heart that I am not alone, and there are people who are on the same path. Speaking of which, taking out 3,000 silver coins at a time to do this kind of good deed, the entire Fujian City is also unique. ”

"Brother Zhu Qian's praise, I have heard more about Brother Zhu's actions, and I really admire it in my heart. It's just that I've always been on the side, to be honest, I did this, I was not moved by everything Brother Zhu did. It's just that no matter how big the bowl is, and how much food I eat, I can take out the three thousand silver coins in my hand at most, and the little money I earn every year is only a drop in the bucket......"

Hu Lin said with a smile: "A drop in the bucket, it's better than a long drought without rain." The two people I admire the most in the past two years are Lei Zhengxing, who has not seen the beginning and the end, and the second is Brother Chen. That play is well written, and I didn't expect that he would have such achievements in chemistry and naturalism, and he could let Mr. Mu in the capital accept you as a disciple, and it is even more rare to have a good heart. ”

"I saw that your notice said that you want to set up this trading company, and I naturally want to contribute to such a good deed, even if it is not much, but at least it is better than nothing. I wonder if Brother Chen is willing to accept me? ”

Chen Jianxi said: "I can't ask for it." ”

This is not only to smear himself, but also to be able to transfer and sell the things produced by his workshop in the future, first have such a charitable reputation, and then sell it to the best advertisement.

It's just that his ability is limited, and the fact that he runs a trading company is not something he can support himself, especially some business things are too laborious, and it is better not to do it if he doesn't put all his effort into it, but he doesn't have the time and mind to do it.

Hu Lin's reputation has always been excellent, this is no longer a fame and reputation, with such a family background and talent, there is no need to sell fame and reputation, as long as you don't die and inherit the family property smoothly, it is a life that many people can't reach.

And the other party is from a merchant family, and he has been extremely familiar with this kind of thing since he was a child, although he was thrown out of the original circle, but he is still familiar with it, and at most he is regarded as an outlier, on the contrary, some young people may not admire it in their hearts.

The most important problem is that this kind of person probably doesn't look down on his own money, of course, this is not pie in the sky, if he doesn't say that he is so kind and so merciful, this kind of person who can't look down on this money will not contact him, this is a two-way street. It is not the bravest captain who always encounters the fiercest wind and waves by coincidence, but the unbrave captain who avoids small waves.

Chen Jian threw off a very special fishing rod, and naturally there will be a very special fish on the hook.

Hu Lin was also very happy with Chen Jian's statement that he couldn't ask for, and the two sides chatted a few more words, and Chen Jian proposed to go east to eat a few glasses of wine and chat while eating.

The other party does not shirk, the brocade clothes and jade food can be passed, the coarse tea and light rice can be lived, and the experience is so that it is light, and there is no twist.

Yu found a restaurant near the sea in the city, asked for Accord and ordered some wine and food, at this time spirits are still the favorite of the middle and low-level and soldiers, most of the rich people drink soft rice wine or fruit wine, Chen Jian didn't want to drink in a daze, and ordered some at random.

Chen Jian deliberately stammered again, and didn't say that the other party's fantasy was meaningless, but just picked up the good ones and praised them for their progressive significance.

The wine was very light, but after a few glasses of wine, a few seabirds happened to be chirping and floating by the water, and Hu Lin didn't know what to think of, and sighed.

"Brother Chen, I have heard your evaluation of Sun Yiyi's scene, especially the last paragraph of the article about seabirds and petrels is still fresh in my memory, and it sounds like thunder and blood in my ears. It's been so many years since I wrote "Dream City" at twenty-three and then gave up the inheritance of the family property, but I still don't see even a little hope. Could it be that in the future, it will really be like what Brother Chen said, the sky will be turned upside down and the dark clouds will cover the sky, and you will have to roar and shout in this strong wind to meet the lightning and thunder in order to see the sunshine? ”

Jian Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Zhu, you think too much, I'm actually talking nonsense, where did I think of such a thing?" ”

Hu Lin laughed and said: "If there is no thundercloud stirring heart, how can there be words to break the sea and split the sky?" Anyway, if you don't want to talk about these things, I won't talk about them, but when I just talked nonsense, let's do what I can do now. In the final analysis, at this time, apart from advocating division and feudalism, there is no such thing as being convicted for words, and you don't have to think too much about it. Even those who preach hereditary inheritance, aren't they also good? ”

Jian Chen raised his glass and said, "Brother Zhu, the sky is high and crisp today, and there are no wind and waves or dark clouds on the sea. When the clouds are thick, the wind should be roaring, but if the wind and rain have not arrived, then why not build stones and trees to repair the embankment and protect the waves? We want the sun to shine, not to the wind. ”

"Today's wind is calm, just fishing, I have a fishing rod, a fish can quench a person's hunger. However, I have an empty fishing rod and the will to relieve people's hunger, but I have no desire to fish and wait, and I have no skill to collect the rod and feed it. ”

"Brother Zhu, when fishing, he doesn't delay thinking, and he can catch fish to relieve people's hunger, I don't know if Brother Zhu is willing to hold this fishing rod and bait? When the wind and waves rise, even if you want to fish, you can't catch it, and when the time comes, whether Brother Zhu wants to blow in the wind or repair the embankment to protect the waves, he will always see the wind and waves before others. ”

Hu Lin picked up the glass and looked at the early spring sun and calm water outside, but did not drink the wine, but held it in the air.

"I only catch and resell fish that are connected between the north and the south. Do not fish for hoarding and soaring, do not catch fish that cannot be smuggled, and do not fish for highly toxic and dead. ”

Jian Chen smiled and didn't speak, but picked up his cup and touched it with Hu Lin in mid-air, and the two drank it all, poured a glass to show that they were in one mind.
