Chapter 378: The Merchant's Thoughts......
"My lord already has a plan in my heart, I believe it won't be long, because now the news has just reached Guangzhou, and now the city of Guangzhou can be described as restless, and now I don't know how our governor of Liangguang will arrange, so my lord wants to wait and see the situation. By the way, did you inquire about the weapons and equipment of the feudal soldiers of the Satsuma Domain? Sun Shijie and Ni Ming asked while walking.
"A hundred muskets, the rest are all cold weapons, in addition, they are not stationed in Shuri Castle, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but live outside the city, however, the eunuchs and guards in the palace are all served by Japanese people, and our people only understood after inquiring that those Japanese people were afraid that the Qing court would find out that they were holding the Ryukyu king hostage, so they played such a trick of covering their ears and stealing the bell." Ni Ming smiled contemptuously, his intention to be sent to Taiwan by Liang Pengfei this time was very clear, first, to take a look at Wu Liang, it was to condolence this sailor general who was loyal to Liang Pengfei, second, to check the situation on Nayonaguni Island, and third, to inquire about the affairs of the north.
It seems that Liang Pengfei already has the intention of shifting the strategic focus to the north, after all, the threat of the Western colonizers in the south has been reduced to an immeasurable possible surname under Liang Pengfei's combination of punches one after another, and it is difficult to make great achievements at least in two years.
And Liang Pengfei didn't want to wait for the Yankees to come and play the Wa Kingdom, because the gold, silver and copper of the Wa Kingdom were all things he liked, rather than letting the Yankees earn it, it was better to earn it himself, and the important thing was that as a traverser, how could he easily forget the sins committed by these guys in another time and space?
As for the situation on the mainland, now, Liang Pengfei really does not have the ability to intervene, and the important thing is that the Qing political axe is still strong, at least on the surface. And the White Lotus Sect is not a good Orient, let alone in ancient times, even if it is put in the future generations, the political axe will definitely label them as a cult, after all, that set of gods and ghosts, coaxing fools and fools, scraping people's wealth, is just a means of money and power, in the eyes of Liang Pengfei is like child's play.
What Liang Pengfei hopes for is no longer the theory that the people can make and cannot know, what he wants to do is to wake up the Chinese nation, which has almost been swallowed up by the idea of enslavement, to open their eyes to see the world, to know how to ask why, and to know how to defend their own survival and rights.
Therefore, he can only wait, even if countless people fall because of the war, even if someone even jumps in front of him and points at his nose and scolds, you have the ability to solve the war and restore the tranquility of the homeland of China, why don't you do it?
--------------------
“…… Even if Qianfu pointed out, even if everyone didn't understand what I was doing, I could only act according to my ideas, and now, all I had to do was to do my best to transform the environment around this continent. Liang Pengfei lay in Maria's arms, sniffing the light perfume smell on her body, squinting his eyes and saying lightly.
"No, my dear, I can understand, I know that you have a great dream, you want to save the dream of a nation, for this dream, you will pay a lot, but don't forget, in this world, people who don't understand you, look at your subordinates, and me." Maria lowered her head, reached out and lifted the green silk on her cheeks, and then, her plump and moist lips were imprinted on Liang Pengfei's slightly cold forehead.
"Even if you're coaxing me, I'm very happy, thank you, my little girl." Liang Pengfei stretched out his big hand and rubbed Maria's delicate face.
But just when the young couple was in love and about to deepen the relationship between the two, they heard an inappropriate greeting from outside the door. "Hello Boss Pan, hello Madam, the young master is inside, shall I send you two in?"
"No, I'll just go in by myself." Before the words fell, the high-spirited Pan Youdu and Pan Bingjie appeared in Liang Pengfei's sight, and at this time, Maria had already sat in her own position, holding a cup of black tea and making a graceful appearance. However, there is still a slightly strange red tide and charm on his face.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?" Liang Pengfei's face was much thicker, and he stood up happily and stepped forward.
"Well, sit down, sit down, don't be polite. You're pretty blessed, kid. Pan Youdu found a chair and sat down, took the tea that Maria poured for him, took a sip and said, of course, he didn't forget to nod to Maria to show his gratitude.
"These words have made you busy, and Bingjie still complains about me all the time." Liang Pengfei hurriedly moved a place for Pan Bingjie, sat down beside Pan Youdu, and respectfully handed over a cigar.
"Hehe, not only complaining to you, but also muttering in my ear that I can't stand it." Boss Pan felt the same way, and just put the cigar butt in his mouth, and let Pan Bingjie, who heard his father complain about him, stretched out and snatched it away. Boss Pan could only hurriedly laugh and said: "Girl, Daddy didn't say anything bad about you, I just hope you can take care of your husband, I'm your Daddy, why don't you even take care of me." ”
"Hmph, my aunt asked me to keep an eye on you, so that you don't have to be busy with business and forget everything, just like yesterday, what time did you eat dinner?" Pan Bingjie still didn't give up.
"That's not because the negotiation is late, to sign a contract, it is a critical moment, and you can't leave people at all. You kid ......" Pan Youdu smiled helplessly, and then glanced at Liang Pengfei, the meaning was very clear. Liang Pengfei had no choice but to take out her husband's style: "Okay, okay, Bingjie, my father-in-law is also for business." ”
"Hmph, everything is a serious matter, and you know to perfunctory us all day long." Pan Bingjie glared at Liang Pengfei, slapped the cigar on Liang Pengfei's chest, turned around and grabbed Maria's arm. "Sister, let's go upstairs, didn't you say you still have a few clothes you didn't have time to try on when you got married? I'll look at it, and if it's appropriate, I'll make it for fun. ”
Pan Bingjie knew that her father and her husband had business to discuss, although she was still soft-spoken, she obediently pulled Maria out of here.
Seeing his daughter like this, Pan Youdu could only be speechless, in addition, he couldn't help but be jealous that his son-in-law was not an ordinary ability, the famous female pirate Shi Xianggu across the South China Sea, and a princess from a western colonial power. The identities of these two female surnames are all ringing, and their daughters are only from a merchant family, in the East, in the social atmosphere of the mainland, where the boundaries between the four peoples of Shinong, Industry and Commerce are extremely clear, compared with the previous two, it does make Pan Youdu feel that he always feels that his heart is not a taste.
--------------------
But fortunately, Liang Pengfei's behavior made him feel very relieved, at least his daughter had not suffered any grievances since she followed him, which was what made Pan Youdu the most gratified.
"Father-in-law, I'm here to find my son-in-law today, I don't know what I need to do?" Liang Pengfei saw Pan Youdu staring at him and didn't speak, he felt furious in his heart, and hurriedly opened his mouth to remind this father-in-law of his humanity.
"I came to you today to tell you, does the scale of our textile factory need to be expanded? You know, the cloth produced by our spinning mills is in short supply nowadays. "When Pan Youdu mentions business things, he is always in good spirits.
Since he purchased the samples of those Western machinery from the hands of the two British merchants, Liang Pengfei naturally came up with the idea of making money, and Pan Youdu took the lead, Pan, Ye, Liang, and Lu Guanheng, who had formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Pan family, jointly funded the construction of a yarn factory.
Soon, a large-scale spinning mill came into being, but Liang Pengfei in order to prevent the operation of the yarn factory from squeezing the space of the people's self-spinning fabrics, causing the government's side attention, so all the cloth should be exported.
The market, of course, is the neighboring countries of the mainland and Nanyang, although this spinning mill is large enough, but the problem is that just one Annam is enough to swallow up the entire output of the spinning mill.
The important thing is that during this period of time, Liang Pengfei has even cleaned up those Western colonists, and those British who can't be cleaned up by the Qing Dynasty actually don't even dare to put a fart in the face of their son-in-law.
This sense of pride and glory really made Pan Youdu feel a big face, and Liang Pengfei also handed over the important task of negotiating with those Western colonizers to these businessmen, and this kind of attention was something Pan Youdu had never had.
It is true that Liang Pengfei is his son-in-law, but the natural sense of gap between officials and businessmen is still very huge, but, these performances, Liang Pengfei does not despise businessmen, and can even be said to attach great importance to businessmen, this, Pan Youdu has always had a faint feeling, but until a few months ago, he actually had the opportunity to negotiate national affairs face-to-face with the British ambassador, although it is still mainly about trade issues, although he Pan Youdu is tailor-made as a chief businessman, It has the right to negotiate with foreigners.
But the problem is that the essence of the feeling is different, this feeling makes Pan Youdu feel happy at the same time, but also makes him understand a kind of responsibility, no matter what, whether it is for himself, or for the rights of businessmen, or for the sake of his beloved son-in-law's hegemony, he must follow his footsteps. This is the common feeling of Pan Youdu, Ye Shanglin, Lu Guanheng and others.
