Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

"Good wine, it's really fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless!" Luo Xiangmei tasted the Dute wine, and her continuous emotion broke the somewhat awkward silence in the banquet.

Zhu Jishi hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiangmei, when I go back, I will ask someone to send a box of Dute wine to the merchant house in Sixiutang, this Dute wine is the most haode wine in France, and it is the exclusive agent of our Jishi Bank in the whole South Seas and East Asia." ”

"That's great, if our sisters want to drink French grape juice in the future, we will ask Brother Jishi to ask you for it." Luo Xiangju picked up the tall glass and took a big sip of wine, smiling Mimi seemed to be very similar, a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at Zhu Jishi, and said with a smile, "Brother Jishi, you are a university scholar from the West, and you are also a viscount of England, and your knowledge is naturally not comparable to us frogs at the bottom of the well in West Borneo. ”

This girl is smart and clever, and she can see at a glance that she does not approve of democracy in Lanfang. Zhu Jishi nodded with a smile and said, "Don't hide it from the three, Zhu really doesn't approve of using the method of public recommendation to produce Grand Duke Lanfang." ”

Ye Tenghui took a sip of wine, the smile on his face did not decrease, and said with a smile: "How did Grand Duke Lanfang's unfair push occur?" How can unfair promotion convince the public? ”

"Who is the Grand Duke of Lanfang, how about I decide with one word?" Zhu Jishi gently put down the wine glass and looked at Ye Tenghui with burning eyes.

As a traveler in the 21st century who has been educated by our party for many years, Viscount Zhu certainly opposes the democratic system of one person, one vote from the bottom of his bones! Well, in other words, our party's education is really successful, even if Engels personally preached democracy to Zhu Jishi, he could not shake his firm anti-democratic conviction!

Moreover, after two or three years in the 19th century, Zhu Jishi has a deeper understanding of current politics. I know that the so-called democratic countries in the future have not yet embarked on the evil path of democratic constitutional government! Even the future leader of the liberal Shijie, the American imperialists, is still on the right path - the United States is now on the line of meritocracy, similar to that of a rising power in later generations, ruled by a coalition of the country's intellectual, political, and business elites, as for the working people...... They are all working diligently! Britain and France, the most powerful imperialist countries at present, are also not evil constitutional democracies, both countries are ruled by monarchs and bourgeoisie, and in fact are governed by elites, while the national strength of Britain, France, and the United States is all thriving, and the only shortcoming is that the working people are going to fight for universal suffrage of one person, one vote, instigated by politicians with ulterior motives (excluding Marx and Engels, of course).

This evil system is now not even accepted by the ruling classes of Britain, the United States and France, which shows how harmful it is, so it is resolutely not allowed to be introduced into the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, which has not yet been officially listed!

Ye Tenghui squinted at Zhu Jishi for a while, and smiled a little embarrassed, "Sir, the grand duke you decided with one word, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, right?" ”

"The Grand Duchy of Lanfang was established because of me, I am the father of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, who is the Grand Duchy, naturally my father has the final say!" Zhu Jishi's voice was faint, but unquestionable.

Before he knew it, his mindset was slowly changing. Before coming to the East, he just wanted to make a good relationship with the leaders of the Lanfang Chinese and get a base in Lanfang as his base in Nanyang. But now, Zhu Jishi has made a calculation to manipulate Lanfang's power behind the scenes, if it weren't for Lanfang's temple being too small, maybe this Lanfang Grand Duke would have to do it himself.

Ye Tenghui shook his head, was silent for a while, and then said: "The old man still wants to ask, how to implement the politics of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang in the future?" Is it a public opinion, or is it a ......"

"Dictatorship, of course!" Zhu Jishi said coldly, "Do you want the Manchu Qing Dynasty to abandon the people to discuss the matter of Lanfang?" At present, Britain, France, the United States and other Western powers, although there are citizens to discuss politics, but they are all their own people to discuss their own politics, and there are all kinds of threshold restrictions, which are not accessible to ordinary grass people, to put it bluntly, it is the elite of a country to discuss politics! Can today's Lanfang have such conditions? As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the back of Ye Tenghui's head, and sneered: "A person like Mr. Ye who has been the wife of Lanfang Company is a subject of the Qing Dynasty, can this Lanfang Grand Duchy have the conditions for citizens to discuss politics?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Tenghui knew that he and Zhu Jishi had nothing to say, his face was a little ugly, and he threw down a sentence, "Sir, you probably don't know that we, the people of Lanfang, are all oriented to the Qing Dynasty!" Then he got up, arched his hand, and took his leave.

……

Seeing Ye Tenghui leave in a negative mood, Luo Xiangmei's almost flawless face showed a trace of hesitation, "Sir Zhu, what kind of country do you want to turn Lanfang into?" ”

Zhu Jishi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he never seemed to have thought about this question carefully, at most there was a vague concept, Lan Fang must be firmly controlled by himself!

Since Miss Luo raised this question, Zhu Jishi couldn't say that he hadn't thought about it, so he had to think about it for a while, and said: "Lanfang's pattern is limited, the country is small and the people are widowed, no matter how you cheer up, it will not become a strong country, so you can only skillfully negotiate with the British to maintain a semi-colonial state, and if you take a wrong step, you will be in danger of ruin, so Lanfang's big policy cannot be handed over to a group of fools who think they are the people of the Qing Dynasty to discuss it publicly." ”

"Brother Jishi is right." After Luo Xiangmei carefully understood what Zhu Jishi said, she nodded, and said with a gentle smile: "The strength of the Westerners, we Nanyang Chinese are deeply aware of it, for so many years, everyone has lived under the oppression of the Westerners, and the so-called heart to the Qing Dynasty also hopes that the Qing Dynasty can shelter us overseas people, but it is just ......"

After the Opium War, the weakness of the Manchus was revealed, and the oppression of the Dutch on Lanfang, a "state" built by the Nanyang Chinese, was increasing day by day, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely annexed. Therefore, now Zhu Jishi is drumming up a "Grand Duchy of Lanfang under the protection of the British Empire" to attract the attention of Lanfang Company - although it is protected by the British, it is still a serious country, and its current status is stronger than that of Lanfang Company.

"Brother Jishi, it's just that even if we Lan Fang build a country, it's not easy to negotiate with England to protect the whole country, right?" At this time, Luo Xiangju suddenly interjected, although the topic of the little girl was heavy, but her spirit was soaring, where was the slightest hatred of the country, her brows fluttered and she whispered, "It's really hard for this grand duke to think about it, it's better for you to be the duchess, how about my sister marry you as a grand duchess?" ”

"Sister! What nonsense are you talking about! Luo Xiangmei's face was flushed with shame, and she glared at her angrily, not allowing her to talk nonsense anymore. It's not that they don't look down on Zhu Jishi, but it's that this topic is really inappropriate for them to raise by themselves...... No matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a self-recommended pillow seat! And Zhu Jishi has not yet shown the strength to control West Borneo, and he is vaguely opposed to Liu Qianxing, the first wife of Lanfang Company, Luo Xiangmei is the head of the Luo family, if she marries Zhu Jishi at this time, it will completely tie the Luo family and Sixiutang to Zhu Jishi's chariot.

Luo Xiangju also knew that she was speechless, stuck out her tongue, picked up her goblet and buried herself in drinking and eating, but the sides of her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't know if she drank too much wine or thought of something shy.

Zhu Jishi felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, laughed dryly, and said: "Miss Xiangmei, Miss Xiangju, today's meeting has not been fun, and when you arrive in Dagang in the coming day, let's drink with the two of you." ”

The two sisters also glanced at each other, Luo Xiangmei smiled, and replied: "I just listened to Sizz's high talk, and the younger sister suddenly opened up, and when she arrives in Dagang, she will definitely disturb Sir Yiyi." ”
