Wei Liu is illiterate. Although he has no education, his mind is very organized.

On the one hand, there are congenital factors, and on the other hand, it is also related to the accumulation of practice. To be the captain of a sea vessel, you must have such ability, otherwise it will be difficult for him to understand the deployment of the crew of a sail-powered ship in complex navigation conditions.

Wei Liu has been to Wuchang Mansion more than once. But he was caught only once by the Renaissance police. After a day of parade in a wooden cage and a night of detention in an iron cage, Wei Liuke never made another mistake in Wuchang Mansion.

Wei Liu has been to Japan, Luzon, and lived for a long time in his native Ming Dynasty. But in these places, Wei Liu has never had the feeling that the local rules are very strict. Although Wei Liu has been to Wuchang more than a dozen times, he has not stayed in Wuchang for more than five days every time, so in general, he can't even be regarded as a person who has lived in Wuchang seriously.

However, after that harsh punishment, Wei Liu still had such an impression of Wuchang. It seems that those guys from the Zhu family around him, the bookkeeper and the like, also have the same idea.

But if it really calls Zhen'er, it will be really difficult for Wei Liu to say why the rules of Wuchang Mansion are very big. Moreover, after thinking about it for a long time, Wei Liu found another problem. It seems that the Revival Society, a powerful chamber of commerce, seems to have robbed the government of what it should do.

"In Wuchang City, the rules of the Fuxing Society are greater than the rules of the government. The people of the Revival Society are better at speaking than the people of the government. ”

Although Wei Liu is a person with an identity similar to that of an ocean-going captain who is half a businessman, half worker, and half bandit, he is still a common man in essence. Therefore, when introducing the Revival Society to Zhu Zhiyu, the third young master of the Zhu family, he pointed out the status of the Revival Society in Wuchang Mansion from the perspective of the common people.

No matter how much Zhu Zhiyu opposes the mainstream ideology of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much he has a sense of rebellion and creative spirit, but from the perspective of his status as a scholar, he is still a feudal scholar who pays attention to righteousness.

Therefore, after Zhu Zhiyu listened to Wei Liu's words, his first reaction was two words: "arrogance".

If we look at the problem from the point of view of scientific and social theory, we can find that almost everything has a definite or vague class character. Let's take the word "transgression" as an example, if we analyze it from the meaning of the word, the word "transgression" simply means "doing things beyond one's duty". However, if we look at the term from the perspective of scientific sociological theory, we can see that the term itself is limited by its social nature.

Behind the word transgression is the concept of a definite social hierarchy. That is to say, only in a hierarchical society can there be things in which different hierarchies have different social statuses and different hierarchies have different powers.

Of course, there are two macroscopic divisions of people who can clearly produce a sense of hierarchy, one is those who are from the ruling class. The ruling class has its own definite class consciousness, and they have conceptually or practically discovered that social hierarchy not only exists, but that the existence of this social hierarchy is beneficial to itself.

The other is from the ruling class. The majority of the ruled class, i.e., the common people, lack a clear sense of social hierarchy. This is not to say that the common people do not feel the existence of hierarchy in the practice of life, but that they are deceived by the policy of foolishness of the ruling class, believing that their life is like this, and that they are born inferior. They may even think from a superstitious point of view that their miserable lives are due to nonsensical reasons such as sinfulness in previous lives.

Zhu Zhiyu may be a relatively progressive and enlightened scholar in thought. However, he still looked at the problem from the standpoint of his own class. As a feudal scholar with a clear sense of the feudal ruling class, Zhu Zhiyu had a subconscious aversion to the function of the Fuxing Society, a trading company he understood, to replace the government in Wuchang Mansion.

Born and lived in the Gangnam region where capitalism was in its infancy. The family's main income was provided by weaving mills and trading companies that were modern businesses. However, Zhu Zhiyu, who relied on the bureaucratic status of his ancestors, fathers and elder brothers, to engage in commercial and trade activities, and studied for dividends, has typical ideological characteristics of bureaucratic capitalist family members under the power feudal system.

In the face of the national interests that represent the feudal order itself, people like Zhu Zhiyu dare to resist, or have the consciousness and courage to resist (against government commercial taxes). However, when faced with things that may shake the power feudal system, the backward system on which they depend, Zhu Zhiyu will have an instinctive aversion.

Therefore, to use a popular Internet vocabulary now, the last years of the Ming Dynasty did produce the germ of relatively progressive capitalism, but the significance of this germ of capitalism with a strong feudal element of power and bureaucratic capitalism for social development and progress can only be said to be "then, and egg".

Compared with Zhu Zhiyu, a scholar with a clear sense of the ruling class, ordinary people with rich social experience like Wei Liu are very quick to adapt to things like "change".

After Wei Liu saw Zhu Zhiyu's somewhat disapproving expression, he said to him: "Third Young Master, I don't know a single big word, but I also know that the Third Young Master may be a little unconvinced by this revival. However, my sixth brother also wants to have a word with you, those of us who run the sea know a truth, that is, you have to recite a mantra when you go to any temple. ”

Zhu Zhiyu had a good impression of Wei Liu, so when he heard Wei Liu say an interesting saying in Yuyao Tuhua, he asked with interest: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

can chat with scholars and show off his knowledge, and the special object is still the young master of the family, so Wei Liu doesn't have so many scruples when he talks to Zhu Zhiyu. He said to Zhu Zhiyu with some pride: "What kind of mantra to recite in what temple, this truth is still learned by the villain and an old maritime merchant in southern Fujian." ”

"The little one went to Japan in the past, went to Luzon, and saw a lot of the world with that old maritime merchant. That old maritime merchant often taught me that when we people from the Celestial Empire go to other people's territory to do business, we can't always hold the shelves of the Celestial Empire. After all, he hung his head on his belt and went to sea in order to make money. ”

"So when you get to the place where the red-haired people are, you might as well recite the blessings of the evil gods. When you get to the territory of the Tangtou Turen (the Nanyang natives who believe in the Arabic religion), you can also chant a few more words of Ala Zhida. Anyway, it doesn't take a few mouthfuls of spit to read a few words, and doing so will always make it a little safer with the red-haired people and the haunted natives, so that they can do a little bit of business. ”

Wei Liu's level of language expression is not very high, but Zhu Zhiyu's comprehension ability is relatively strong. He could naturally hear that Wei Liu was vaguely telling himself that he had to abide by other people's rules on the ground of the Revival Society.

However, Zhu Zhiyu had a big question from this, and he asked Wei Liudao: "This Fuxing Society is just a merchant group trading company, how can it be such a big force, how can it dare to take care of the things that the government should manage?" "Time Gate 1619
