Hearing Shen Baozhen's words revealing that he wanted to learn professional knowledge about shipbuilding, Lin Yizhe had another layer of respect for his uncle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even in his own time, what a person in a high position could do was to sit there like a stone lion, and let his deputies and subordinates work around him, and how many people were willing to learn professional knowledge?

In the present era, science is prevalent, and the literati and doctors of the intellectual class either recite poems against each other, or bury themselves in the imperial examinations, or delve into the study of evidence, and regard Western science and technology as "miraculous and ingenious" and "subtle skills"; although there are two opium wars stimulating, many people still disdain Western learning, and there are very few feudal officials like Shen Baozhen who are willing to learn the advanced scientific and technological knowledge of the West.

At this moment, Lin Yizhe felt that between himself and this famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, the feeling of strangeness and fear brought by traveling through time and space had disappeared unconsciously.

The barriers between different time and space have been broken, and the conversation between the two has become much more casual.

It may be that the old and young rarely talked so speculatively before, and it was only after more than an hour that Lin Yizhe left Shen Baozhen's study and returned to his room.

Seeing Lin Yizhe coming back, Chen Wan immediately got up to greet her, and seeing the little wife's concerned look, Lin Yizhe smiled and took her hand.

While he was leaving, Chen Wan had been fidgeting, for fear that he would be reprimanded by Shen Baozhen again. But when she saw Lin Yizhe's calm demeanor, it didn't seem like she had been disciplined, so she was relieved.

The husband and wife sat down affectionately, Chen Wan looked at Lin Yizhe, and couldn't help asking, "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

"I've been talking to my uncle about the shipyard for a long time." Of course, Lin Yizhe understood what she was worried about, and patted Chen Wan's hand with a smile, "Uncle said that I should accompany Wan'er well these days, because as soon as the French foreigners arrive in two days, I am afraid that I will not be able to be idle." ”

"Kunyu follows his uncle, so he naturally has to put national affairs first, and don't think about Wan'er." Chen Wan looked at Lin Yizhe and said seriously, "Wan'er must serve her aunt well at home, and never distract Kunyu." ”

Lin Yizhe looked at Chen Wan's demeanor and actions just now, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

She reminded Lin Yizhe of Zhao Yuetong again just now!

"Mom and Dad will have me in the future, don't worry......"

Xiaotong! ……

Chen Wan didn't know that her husband actually remembered another woman at this time, and she continued: "Wan'er also knows a little English and Chinese, and if Kunyu has a place to get Wan'er, he can give orders." ”

Chen Wan's words suddenly pulled Lin Yizhe back to reality, and he looked at his little wife with a look of surprise on his face.

"How does Wan'er know English characters?"

"Kunyu didn't know that when Wan'er was young, she spent several years in London, the capital of England, in order to be fluent in the language of other countries." Chen Wan smiled and solved the mystery for Lin Yizhe, "Of course, Wan'er has only learned a lot, she can only talk and write letters on a daily basis, if she translates books, she won't be able to do it." ”

"Wan'er spent time in England when she was young?" Lin Yizhe was even more surprised, "Could it be that Wan'er's mother's family still has relatives in England?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Wan nodded, "That year, there was a long hair, the southeast half of the wall was ravaged, there was no peace, my father was dedicated to serving the country, leading the army to fight everywhere, and he couldn't take care of his family and relatives." In a hurry, her mother entrusted Wan'er to her uncle Chen Gong Tingxuan to take care of her, and Uncle Gai's family had been in England for a long time, far away from the war, but Wan'er was safe. Uncle and grandfather then took Wan'er to the country and left her hometown, and this time it was six years. Now I haven't seen my uncle and grandfather again for many years, and I often miss it in my heart......"

Chen Wan recounted the past, and when it came to emotion, her voice was a little choked, and the corners of her eyes became moist.

When Lin Yizhe heard this, he understood why Chen Wan went to the UK, it turned out to be because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion!

For this 14-year-long war, which is the deadliest war in China and human history, the textbooks and angry youths of later generations have been exalting and beautifying, but no one has ever thought about the harm caused to hundreds of millions of ordinary Chinese people by this so-called "anti-imperialist, anti-feudal and patriotic life movement"!

In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of the Chinese nation. As many as 70 million people died in the five provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Fujian alone, and the Chinese population plummeted from 400 million to more than 200 million, and the economy was dealt a very heavy blow. Everywhere the Taiping army went, the traditional Chinese culture that had lasted for thousands of years was irreparably destroyed. Officials, monks, nuns, Taoists, merchants, Confucian scholars, and even doctors, shopkeepers, and entertainers were all killed as "demons", and the Taiping army's crimes of burning, killing, and looting are too numerous to mention, but textbooks always emphasize that this is a "heroic act of peasant uprising" and a "righteous act"!

Lin Yizhe didn't dare to imagine what the result would be if the daughter of an official eunuch like Chen Wan fell into the hands of the Taiping Army.

Thinking that Chen Wan traveled across the ocean at a young age, went to the country for thousands of miles, and suffered the pain of separation of flesh and blood, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel emotional.

In fact, Chen Wan was still lucky, she had overseas relatives to rely on, and successfully escaped this unprecedented tragedy. And where should those ordinary people who are in it hide?

Corpses are everywhere, rivers of blood are flowing, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people are buried in the wilderness, how can this period of history not be written?!

"Wan'er, don't be sad, now that the chaos has gradually calmed down, the ship administration is prosperous, the four seas have become a thoroughfare, and the day of meeting with uncle and grandfather is not far away." Lin Yizhe comforted Chen Wan.

"Yes, Wan'er is also looking forward to this day." Seeing the look of concern on Lin Yizhe's face, Chen Wan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, smiled, and said, "Wan'er and her uncle and grandfather often correspond at home, and this letter will take several months to go back and forth, and I am still worried about losing it halfway." ”

"What do my uncles and grandfathers do in England?" Lin Yizhe became interested in the Chen family's overseas clan and immediately asked.

"My uncle and grandfather are engaged in wharf freight, concurrently engaged in ticket number exchange, invested in the country's railway, postal and other industries, worked hard for many years, laid a foundation, and the business is very prosperous." Chen Wan said.

"It is not easy to start a business overseas, and it is even more rare to have such achievements." Lin Yizhe couldn't help but have respect for some Chinese businessmen who worked hard overseas, and they were actually the first to open their eyes to the world.

"Yes, it was not easy for my uncle and grandfather to start a business in his early years, not only to endure the cynicism of his hometown relatives, but also to deal with the oppression and extortion of foreigners." Chen Wan continued, "But it's okay now. My uncle and grandfather were not only the leaders of British Chinese businessmen, but also the knighthood of England, and married with famous Western families, and my aunt was a beautiful foreign woman with red hair and blue eyes. ”

"Oh? Where is that aunt's family? Lin Yizhe asked casually.

"My aunt's family name is Rothschild, and I heard that my aunt's family is also a big family, and it is distributed in England, France, Austria, Italy and other countries."

Rothschild?

Rothschild!

Lin Yizhe's heart shook, but there was no expression on his face, in order to further determine the identity of the Rothschild family who married the Chen family, he asked again: "Does Wan'er know what the aunt's family does?" ”

"My aunt's family has been operating the money bank ticket number for generations, and most of them handle taxes and loans for the princes and nobles of the West, and they have an outstanding reputation." Chen Wan said, remembering the time in the UK, the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a smile, "Auntie is kind, and she is beautiful, although she is a foreign woman, she can speak a good official dialect and hometown dialect, we all like her, and revolve around her all day long." My aunt treated me very well, I was far away from home, I was lonely at night, I thought of my parents, I often cried, so my aunt moved me into her house and slept with her. My aunt used to tell me stories that I hadn't heard before......"

At this time, Chen Wan was completely immersed in the memories of the past, tears oozed from the corners of her eyes, Lin Yizhe nodded and sighed, and gently held her hand.

He has now been able to determine that the Rothschild family that married the Chen family is the famous Red Shield family, the "Sixth Empire" Rothschild!

Unexpectedly, the Rothchild family would choose to marry a Chinese businessman!

According to his understanding, in order to avoid the dispersion of financial power, the Rothchild family, as Jews, has always implemented a strict endogamy system and does not intermarry with foreign races, but this time there will be a marriage with a Chinese merchant family, which is really unimaginable!

Don't......

"The Rothschilds and the uncle's family are married, does Wan'er know the reason?" Lin Yizhe asked again.

Wan'er heard that it was the little uncle who saved her aunt's life back then, so her aunt promised her. However, the elders of the aunt's family resolutely refused, and the aunt insisted on marrying the little uncle, so she had a lot of trouble with the family. It is said that the aunt once wanted to give up her family identity and surname, and went on a hunger strike to resist, but the elders in the family could not resist her, and because of the family's reputation, she had to agree. However, I heard that my aunt's family put forward conditions, and after my uncle and grandfather agreed, the two families did a family affair. Chen Wan replied.

"Does Wan'er know what the conditions are?" Lin Yizhe asked again,

"It seems that if an aunt has an heir, whether male or female, the name must be added with the surname of the aunt's family, and other Wan'er will not know." Chen Wan thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing Chen Wan's answer, Lin Yizhe suddenly realized, and had to secretly admire the shrewdness of this Jewish financial family, which really deserved to be called the "Sixth Empire"!

And now, Lin Yizhe has a faint guess about the purpose of the marriage between the Red Shield family and the Chen family.

If this speculation is true, then many things in history can be rewritten.

Rewriting history......

At this time, Lin Yizhe suddenly had a strong desire to change the course of history in his heart!

If we can change the direction of history from now on, then the future generations, that is, our previous lives, will also undergo profound changes!
