When Marshali came to King An's mansion to ask for an interview, Lin Haifeng was about to go out. He was going to watch the new play "The White-Haired Girl" rehearsed by the Shanghai Drama Society. So, out of respect for the master, Ma Shali accepted Lin Haifeng's invitation and went to the rehearsal hall of the drama club together, and patiently accompanied Lin Haifeng to watch it.

After the play was over, looking at Lin Haifeng, who was still sitting there quietly, without the slightest intention of leaving, obviously still intoxicated by the plot, Marshali shook his head, looked at Mrs. An Wang with red eyes, and coughed gently.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Liu Xianghe, who was directly involved in the choreography of this play, snuggled her head on her husband's shoulder and asked in a thick nasal voice.

"Okay, great, that's what I want. Thank you, ma'am. Lin Haifeng's eyes were still looking at the already empty platform, and gently stroked Liu Xianghe's head, "Go, I want to accompany His Excellency Marshali here to say something, you go for me to thank the actors behind me, tell them, I want to invite everyone to dinner at noon, thank them for their hard work." ”

Seeing Liu Xianghe go, Lin Haifeng turned his head to Ma Shali, "How does Your Excellency feel about this play?" ”

Marshali smiled. He is still quite interested in opera, this play is even talked and danced, and there are a few singing in the middle, specifically, I can't tell what kind of drama it is. However, the whole music still feels relatively new, and the combination of local instruments and Western instruments is also seamless. With the help of the interpreters around him, he roughly understood the content of the play.

At the end of the Chinese New Year, the sky was full of snow and snow, and the old man who came home from hiding for seven days was beaten to death in order to resist a landlord who used his daughter to pay off a loan shark. His daughter still fell into the hands of the landlord, and the girl was devastated in the landlord's house, and in order to resist the landlord's attempt to take him as a concubine, the girl fled into the mountains, and was accompanied by wild beasts, and fed her hunger with wild fruits, and the girl in her cardamom years became a white-haired savage.

"His Royal Highness King An, I don't think this play seems to be over yet?" Marshali said tentatively. What he said made sense, the young man who also rebelled against the landlord was forced to flee from his hometown, and went to join the Heavenly Army. However, at the end of the play, it is the end of the stage, and the damned landlord is guarding the grain hoarding and counting something, it must be counting the money. On the other hand, the ragged peasants were looking at the white-haired savages in the distance, singing a shocking and weeping melody, and he was interested in the lyrics:

Look at the world, which piece of land is not opened by us, which mountain forest is not planted by us, which house is not built by us, and which acre of crops is not irrigated by our blood and sweat! The hateful landlord is full of dog officials, he occupies the land, the crops are private property, and he forces rents and usury. How many long-term workers were enslaved, and how many joyful children suffered. The poor shall be covered with beds from the earth, and with heaven they shall be covered. Endless hatred! Merge into a raging river and sea. Uncontrollable anger will surely burn the dark old world!

The whole drama ended in such a scene, what happened to the girl? The young man who defected to the Heavenly Army was obviously the girl's lover, and he didn't come back? There's no ending.

"Yes, there is no ending, but the ending is already there, and it is in the hearts of everyone who has watched this play." Lin Haifeng smiled and pointed to Han Muyue behind him, "Of course, people are in different environments, and their understanding will be different, why do we have to arrange a so-called ending?" You can ask him, what is he thinking? ”

Marshali looked at the captain of the guard with his hand on the short gun at his waist, and from his still spitting eyes, he knew what he was thinking without asking. Alas, they are indeed too clever to have an extremely strong incendiary character in a drama, and no ending may be more terrible than having an ending! Thinking about the things in his country that pretend, moaned without illness, and even cried and urinated, it simply made him vomit.

"Some things are the people's own affairs, and the people who have been humiliated have their own ways to solve problems, and we can only conform to the wishes of the people, and we cannot resist." Lin Haifeng sighed, "Our people have suffered too much, and the hardships of life have weighed them down. In fact, Hong Kong is a prime example. We have no intention of expelling the British by force, and it is not easy for them, they have invested and developed for many years, and although they have acquired this qiē power like a bandit, there is always a pay. We are a country of etiquette, this principle still has to be said, we can't let people do it in vain, right? Hehe, but no, the common people are unwilling, because their survival has made the common people lose the one they rely on for survival, so the common people want to rise up and riot and expel them. We have no choice but to accept the will of the people, and if we do not, we will be expelled along with us. ”

Is it always such a coincidence? came to visit this King An today, just in time for the staging of this play, and in the dark, this play seems to be sung for himself. Mashali is a bit of a tiger. The incident that broke out in Hong Kong is the will of your people, but what about Taiwan? I, the minister, must have a place to stay?

Looking at the silent Marshali, Lin Haifeng smiled slightly, and then said that he understood Marshali's current situation, and praised Mashali's ability to eliminate the interference of the pro-Manchu faction and devote himself to bilateral people-to-people equal trade, etc., and at the same time gave high praise. He is full of praise for the contributions made by the American commercial banks headed by Tianlong and Qichang in the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai railway.

Finally, he said, "I know that it is difficult for your Excellency to change the will of your government in a moment by your own strength. In order for everyone to coexist peacefully and jointly promote the development of trade between the two sides, I agree with Mr. Kim Neng-hyung's recent proposal to set up a non-governmental chamber of commerce in the United States in the overseas Chinese area to communicate with the Shanghai government and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of businessmen in your country. As for the legation, you might as well move to Taiwan first. Xianfeng is dead, and his successor will not welcome you to establish a foothold in the north, and it is also a kind of dignity to live in Taiwan for the time being. To be honest, it's not that we don't have the ability to take Taiwan, but it's still the same sentence, we must always save some face for everyone and have a buffer room. Now, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries are trying to contact with the Celestial Empire, and we are still friends, so we can't help but leave a way out for Your Excellency. Of course, we also hope that your country will not waste a great opportunity or have any other intentions. Since we are friends, we Chinese pay attention to putting villains before gentlemen, and we will not touch Taiwan for a year, so you can rest assured that you can watch the developments in our country there and urge your government to abandon the previous erroneous understanding. However, it is better not to drive the warship over, the people of Taiwan have always had no good view of Western countries, and they have also experienced the oppression of foreign races, and if they do not do it, it will provoke a popular uprising, which is not beautiful. ”

Marshali nodded, "However, I sincerely hope that this will not affect our friendly relations. Our friendliness will prompt the government to change its current policy more quickly. Of course, as a diplomat, I probably shouldn't have said so much. ”

"We need to be honest with each other as we are with each other." Lin Haifeng smiled, "Your Excellency is a very honest person, so we can become friends." I would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely inform Your Excellency that from now on, we will not need a single piece of outside assistance. It is said that some people have tried to instigate various countries to impose an economic blockade on us, and the joke is that if it were not for the Celestial Empire's willingness to make friends from all over the world, we could have sealed the country again immediately, and no one would have thought of opening it. Your Excellency must also know that a large amount of rotten oil mined by your Tianlong Company has nowhere to be sold, and we are willing to accept these useless things at the expense of building oil depots at a high cost. Friends, everyone will have difficulties, and it is also appropriate to help each other. ”

Ma Shali's face was slightly red, yes, Ali Guo had looked for him in order to block the Tianjing regime, and he had hesitated. "Your Highness, the speed of your country's development is truly unimaginable, and I sincerely admire your intelligence, courage and courage. I have a request, can you see if some of the new drugs currently produced in your country can be exported to our country? ”

"On this issue, the Celestial Empire has carefully considered it." Lin Haifeng looked at Mashali, "Due to production problems, we have always not allowed the export of penicillin and tetanus to non-diplomatic countries. As for the pertussis vaccine, in view of the health of the majority of children, we have always adopted a liberalization policy. In this case, I can ask Tianjing to allocate some medicines to supply your country's market. However, I have one precondition. ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Your country wants to reduce or exempt the tariffs on our purchase of oil from Tianlong." Lin Haifeng sighed, "The acquisition of these things wastes a lot of our money, we are still poor, and there are still many aspects in the country that we need to build." ”

"The contemptible people understand, and the contemptible people will do their best to convey your country's demands to the government." Mashaliam breathed a sigh of relief.
