Chapter 139: Borrowing an Eye
"Foreign? Where did the foreign country come from? ā
"Suppose. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qi Hou raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard some most ridiculous joke.
It took a long time to suppress the laughter that seemed to be contained, and said, "If Sir's is interesting, it seems that Sir is very sure that there are other races in this great world. ā
Since Jian Chen said what if, Qi Hou also answered on top of this if.
"To the east is the vast sea, and to the west of the Chinese homeland is the desert alpine jungle. It's freezing in the north, and it's a miasma in the south. Even if there is a foreign country, it is nothing more than a thing. ā
"If we come from the west, the homeland of China is in front, and we are behind. If I can really conquer tens of millions of people, then this foreign state is also extremely powerful, could it be that I am stupid enough to form an alliance with a powerful foreign state that can exterminate China? Isn't that a game with a tiger? Occupying the homeland of China, is it possible that this small Qi country can be spared? ā
"You must know that the best chance for the Qi Kingdom was when the homeland of China was in full swing a few decades ago. If it was decided within my Qi country at that time, I would definitely find a way to divide Huaxia into seven or eight pieces, even the weak to fight the strong, to help the weak and curb the strong, for hundreds of years, there was enough blood shed between each other, and no one would agree with the statement that Huaxia was one, and at that time, as long as the Qi navy was undefeated, it would be the strongest country. ā
"But the north has settled down, and this opportunity is gone."
"There is no such thing as a foreign country. When the bloodline is sacred, the death of the country is nothing more than changing the surname to the king. The bloodline is no longer sacred, how can the kingdom still die?
"If you say that a foreign country exists, and the ships and cannons come from the east, and the homeland and this side are difficult to resist, then all the Chinese people will die. Absolute history, forbidden my words, can the Qi country be spared at that time? ā
"Unless it's the same, the foreigners you are talking about are all moral gentlemen, who don't kill, rob, buy and sell when they come, but send new science for nothing, and even help the poor and the weak, and don't do anything bad...... If that's the case, it's really hard to resist. It's just that...... Is there really such a foreign country? Since it doesn't exist, I really don't know what the gentleman has to worry about. ā
After Qi Hou finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused." Mr. said to a bystander that when I was changing the country, I was the Tao. When it came time to talk about the homeland of China, I was confused and ignorant. The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and it cannot be killed if it is really killed from the outside. You have to worry not about the external enemy, but internally. ā
"As long as the interior is stable, what can you do with the size of the Qi Kingdom?"
"If there is internal instability, and the troops are in all directions, and there are many civil wars, I say that the Qi Congress will not send soldiers to watch, will you believe it? Even if you make an oath, will you believe it? As long as there is internal instability and civil war, I will definitely find a way to make this civil strife forever, and then divide the world and disrupt the situation overseas. ā
Chen Jian bowed his head and said nothing when he heard this, Qi Hou didn't lie about it, simple facts can not be simpler, he just asked these words with a hot head, maybe there is really a little concern and the meaning of the authorities is confused.
Qi Hou looked at Jian Chen, who was silent, and finally sighed and said, "Last year, I heard people talk about the things that Mr. did in the Academy Palace, and I also heard about those strange machines that are said to be able to change many things. ā
"Since I was a child, I have read so many ancient books that I thought were useless, and I finally figured out one thing in my heart, I am afraid that after a hundred years, it will be true that the stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker the weaker."
"Just like the gentleman's workshop, the purpose is to make money; Those big landowners who run the land are also trying to make money. The world is all profitable, this is a very simple thing, but some people can't see through it. ā
"A hundred years later, if the country is strong, then Mr. will always be a workshop owner, a big landowner, and a big businessman will always be of the same heart as the country. They need to sell things, and the more people who buy the better; They need land and cheaper hired laborers, and the more land the better, and the cheaper hired workers the better. ā
"The stronger you are, the stronger you are, and wealth accumulates. The weaker it is, the weaker it is, and wealth is lost. In the long run, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and even if you can turn over, you don't know how much suffering you have to endure. ā
"I've seen what happened to my husband in the Academy...... After the steam turning, the ore fertilizer, and the telescope, flint gun, glass, and steel ingots that my husband brought, I knew that it was not a long time ago, and that I would never go back. ā
"In the past, as long as there was land, 20 years of life and 20 years of military training, the restoration of the country was just around the corner...... And what Mr. wants to do is really done, one acre can be worth three acres, and one person can be ten people and 100 people...... Even if it's more than the population, it can't be compared. Thirty people ploughed the field to provide one soldier, and five people ploughed the field to supply one soldier, how much worse is the population alone? ā
"When I heard about what happened in the school palace, I was really shocked into a cold sweat. It is said in ancient books that Ji Xia was in the old Xia City, domesticating cattle and horses, cultivating ridges, and smelting copper and iron...... At that time, my ancestors were still slash-and-burn, and the number of tribes was almost the same, but the soldiers were several times worse. ā
"When I read this in the past, I felt that it was not enough, or it was the benefit of copper and iron. Now that I think about it, I am shocked. I looked through the old books on the contradiction between yin and yang, the analysis of interests, and who benefited and who suffered, and finally woke up...... The history of the past is nothing but a repetition in the present. ā
The last words made Chen Jian cry and laugh, and he sighed and recalled the simple and happy days of catching animals and birds, and looked at the Qi Hou in front of him, who looked completely different from the ancestors hundreds of years ago, and finally sighed.
He still retains a bit of personal dignity from beginning to end, and if he kneels and bows three times in front of this monarch here, he will never die.
From the previous exchanges and these words, Chen Jian heard what the Marquis of Qi meant, I am afraid that this is already preparing to open the sea for exchanges, because this is not an overt hierarchical society, but a hidden wealth hierarchical society, and the ruling basis is no longer the squire, priests, nobles, and warriors, so you can rest assured and boldly communicate with the outside world without worrying about breaking your ruling foundation or changing your bloodline and dying - the Marquis of Qi has already died, so there is no need to be afraid of death.
Thinking of this, Jian Chen got up and bowed: "Qi Hou summoned me today, I'm afraid there is something else, right?" ā
Qi Hou smiled and said, "Sir is smart. Mr. is quite famous in the school palace, although the article is not flashy but practical, and the inductive summary of logical deduction is also proposed by Mr. I would like to ask Mr. for one thing, and please do not refuse. I will not force Mr. to do things that are contrary to morality, and I will not violate Mr. 's original intention, just for the sake of the world. ā
"Please."
"I would like to ask Mr. to stay in Qi for a few more days, and take a walk along the mountains, rivers, cities and villages of Qi to have a look. Although there are people coming to the homeland of China, they only haunt some ports, and it is difficult to go deep into the hinterland for detailed work...... Besides, there are some things that may not be clear to the gentleman. ā
"I wonder what Qi Hou wants me to see?"
"Look at this land, write it truthfully, and let those people in the homeland of China know that this is no longer the time to panic decades ago, and there is no possibility of attacking the Qi country in one go at this time. Sir does not need to say this, those who see it will naturally understand what to say. ā
When Qi Hou said this, he laughed and said, "In the past, there were often merchants who borrowed merchant ships, and I think Mr. Chen's ship may not be clean. ā
Jian Chen was slightly startled, then smiled silently, and Qi Hou smiled: "Sir, you don't have to hide it, it's nothing." This time I let go of Mr. to watch, except for some places, free to pass. Even if I want to watch the soldiers, I will accompany me. ā
"Where there is sunshine, there will be shadows. I don't believe in the way, I don't pick up the way, I don't close the door at night, my yellow hair hangs down, and I am happy. ā
"Please rest assured, sir, if you want to see beggars. In the same way, I don't believe that everyone in the homeland of China is rich. The gentleman has a scale in his heart, and he can see what he should see. I don't think Sir will look only at the shadows and not only at the sun. ā
Jian Chen also smiled: "I admire Qi Hou's courage, but I don't know where Qi Hou's courage comes from?" ā
"Millions of people."
Jian Chen shook his head and said, "No." It's because of the barrier of the sea. The navy of the Marquis of Qi was still relatively strong, and the Chinese navy competed with it to win and lose five or five in the far sea, and if it attacked the near sea, it would win three and lose seven. The sea route is far away, and even if the navy wins and the army is transferred, it may not be able to stand on its feet, after all, it is no longer the time when it has just moved to this time when there are many chaos and disputes. ā
Qi Hou was noncommittal, and Chen Jian said: "If the Huaxia Navy wins, with the help of the navy, it will inevitably damage the interests of the people of Qi to attack the port city from time to time. After a long time, hatred has been born, and the people of the islands in the East China Sea have the same hatred - anyway, by then, the Marquis of Qi must have given up the oath, and then Huaxia will be nameless. ā
Qi Hou laughed and said, "In the final analysis, it still depends on these millions of people. If I do the opposite, everyone is hungry, the serfs rebel everywhere, and no matter how bad it is, it will only be so that everyone is numb and desperate and think that it is nothing more than a change of personal tax, then what is the use of the danger of the vast sea? ā
"Now that the isolated island has more than enough to protect itself, the law of the homeland is self-abandoned, of course, it is necessary to open the sea and trade for mutual benefit. is just an island, where can it compare with the tens of millions of people in the homeland of China. Although there is too much learning, but the knowledge and knowledge have lagged behind the school palace. The gentleman's trip opened up a route and shortened the journey, which was the right time. ā
"Although there are some new knowledge in the Xue Palace, but my Qi Taixue is not useless, it is better to communicate with each other than behind closed doors. If it is not profitable, even if it is open to the sea, there is still no one to come and go. ā
"Sir, walk more, look more, just borrow Mr.'s eyes to let more people know. As for the rest, that's not a matter of concern. ā
Chen Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, whether he succeeded or not was not something he could decide, he was just a folk mouthpiece, and it was also a standing wood thing that the other party did with the help of his identity and fame.
