Back at the Octagonal Terrace, the people here still have numbness on their faces, and the tragedy in Sanbo's arms doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, whether they can't eat, they still can't eat, they can't wear warm, they can't wear warm. Occasionally, when they looked at Wang Yi who was riding on a horse and walking side by side with Zhang Jingxiao, there were surprises, ridicule, fear, and disgust, and it seemed that it was at this moment that their eyes came to life once.

In front of the Zhang family's mansion, Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande personally went out to greet them, and when they saw Wang Xiama, the two of them personally greeted them, hugged their fists and said: "Brother Wang Xian is hardworking, worthy of being a generation of famous doctors, hanging pots to help the world, treating diseases and saving people, and the style of Xinglin is worthy of learning from my generation." ”

The king smiled on his face, and said bluntly that he didn't dare to be, he didn't dare to be, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart. When I came to these vain heads, when I divided the fields of the old Liu family, I didn't see you hesitate. Now that I remember to thank me, why don't you say that you will share some benefits with me. But if you think about it carefully, I don't seem to have done anything on this trip to Sanhuai, except for bandaging the wounds of several injured villagers.

After entering the mansion, the Zhang family still set up a banquet, and there were not many people at the table this time, only Zhang Quanbao, Zhang Quande, and Zhang Jingxiao. There is no rule of eating and not saying anything at this table, Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande are very enthusiastic, and they ask Wang Yi about foreign things from time to time.

Wang Yi is also very good at things, and after taking another sip of soup, he said with a smile: "I haven't been in your mansion for the past few days, I don't know how Old Man Zhang's condition is?" ”

Zhang Quanbao smiled after hearing this, and said: "Brother Hongfu, under the treatment of you and Doctor Zhao, it is no longer hindered. ”

Wang Yi knew in his heart that it was completely impossible for Old Man Zhang's angina to be cured in this era, and now it can only be called relief, as for when it will occur again, let's talk about it then. Later, Wang Yi said the general treatment principles of stable dìng angina, and the Zhang brothers wrote them down one by one.

After a full meal, the four of them came to the study, and after they sat down, a servant offered tea. Wang Yi didn't have much research on tea, and before he crossed, he occasionally drank some flower tea in the hospital.

Putting down the teacup, Zhang Quanbao said at this time: "Brother Wang Xian, the strategy to save the Northeast that you said last time was not finished because of the matter in the third arms?" Can we continue this time? ”

Wang Yi remembered this when he heard this, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I basically said it last time, we can't do anything to save the Qing court, even if you can stay in the center, the result will not change in the slightest." ”

Zhang Quanbao nodded, pondered for a while, and then continued: "Brother has something unclear, and I hope to ask for advice in person." ”

"Please."

"Brother Ken said before that Japan carried out the Meiji Restoration...... I don't know a little bit about that brother, since Japan can be Meiji Restoration, then why can't we follow suit in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "Japan is different from the Qing Dynasty, they don't have millions of hardcore crops that don't work and need to be supported by the Han and other ethnic groups. In fact, I think it is surprising that the system of the Qing Dynasty can be maintained for such a long time. The reasons for this are nothing more than the three strategies of closure, ignorance of the people, and suppression. To rule a country in this way, maybe two hundred years ago would have been okay. But in this day and age, it's a pipe dream. The British came, the French came, the Russians came, and then the Japanese came, and even the countries with big noses came. I still want to close the country and engage in a policy of fooling the people, but it won't work! If you want to open this door, you have to open it, and if you don't want to open it, they will blow it up with foreign guns and foreign artillery warships! ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Quanbao sat on the chair, although he didn't say much, Wang Yi could see that his hands were shaking slightly because of the angry clenched fists. But Wang Yi didn't mind continuing to rub salt on the other party's wounds.

"Speaking of which, although the masters in Sijiu City are also the masters of the Qing Dynasty, they are also the masters of the banner people. Although the people's wisdom is open, the closure of the banner people is destined to cause more dissatisfaction with Hermes-Epitek. And when there is a conflict between the interests of the Li people and the interests of the banner people, the gang of people in the Qing court will not stand on the position of the Li people and compromise the interests of the flag people. But in the Qing Dynasty, after all, the Han people still held the majority, and if the banner people wanted to maintain their rule, they would have to rely on external forces in the end. ”

"Brother Xian means ......" Zhang Quande, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly realized.

"Foreigners!"

It was not Wang Yi who said the answer, but Zhang Jingxiao, who had been standing behind his father. When he heard this answer from his son, Zhang Quanbao's body was obviously stiff, his face was gloomy, and his mouth opened a few times, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

There was a sudden silence in the study, and Wang Yi pretended to suck on the teacup with his tea. In fact, he pitied Zhang Quanbao, if it weren't for the two Opium War fiascos, if it weren't for the fact that Yingkou was not far from the Li Tong Port, a scholar like Zhang Baoquan, who had received Confucian education after castration and tampering since childhood, would be difficult to accept in the face of the collapse of faith.

Zhang Quanbao's head seemed to be packed into paste, and Wang Yi sitting in front of him looked very much like the painted skin in the strange tale of chatting about the paste. From the outside, it looks like an eighteen or nine-year-old little two devils, but there is a deep depth hidden inside that no one can guess. On the surface, it is reasonable, but in fact, it is to let the Zhang family take a road of treason and deception.

"What the hell am I supposed to do......? Arrest him and report it to the official, or just go with him to the dark? ”

Zhang Quanbao's thoughts fell into contradictions, and for a time heaven and man were at war.

Wang Yi didn't know that he was on the verge of being betrayed by Zhang Quanbao, in fact, he was also wary of the Zhang family, in addition to the Type 95 rifle in the cloth bag, he also took out the Type 92 pistol and a grenade at will.

Zhang Quanbao, who was in his forties, did not disappoint Wang Yi, and what was coiled in his mind at this time was the world map drawn by Wang Yi and the history of the rise of the major powers. A sense of crisis that he had never felt before haunted him,

"Brother Wang Xian, what are your plans for the future?"

Wang thought about it for a while, and then said: "At the time when the society is about to fall, it is also ashamed to say. My brother wants to open a small company......"

This time, the company is a local Chinese word, which first came from Confucius's "Datong" and "Liezi Biography": "The public is the wealth of several people." The meaning of transshipment. Zhuangzi said: "Accumulating disadvantages is high, combining small and big, and merging is the way of the public, which is called the company." The phrase is basically the same as that of a modern company, which is: to gather the wealth of many people and operate together. The joint-stock company in the modern sense first appeared in the Netherlands, which is known as the Dutch East India Company.

When Zhang Quanbao heard that Wang Yi wanted to open a business, his brows furrowed. When he asked Wang Yi about his future plans, he was actually asking about the way to protect himself in the Northeast. And now the answer given by Wang Yi is that he wants to do business, which makes him feel a little unhappy. It is no wonder that businessmen are in the eyes of scholars...... It should be said that in the eyes of the scholars of all dynasties, they are all humble people, and most of the words that come close to them are greed, cunning, driving up prices, and making it difficult for the country to make money.

Wang Yi can also understand it, up to the Spring and Autumn Period Tian Qi usurped Qi, and the Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei during the Warring States Period. Merchants, especially in the hands of big merchants, not only have money, but also food. If this is given to the power again, it is better to say that in the Taiping period, once the center changes, the ruler is afraid that when he thinks of these big businessmen, he will not be able to sleep all night! Really speaking, in the era of feudal dynasties, the powerful merchants were really prepared for rebellion, and they had unique advantages.

"Brother Xian, what are you ......" Zhang Quanbao obviously wanted to persuade Wang Yi, in troubled times, when you take the world as your own responsibility, what is going on to do business.

Zhang Jingxiao suddenly said: "Sir, don't you want to control the economic lifeblood of the Northeast?" ”

This time, not only Zhang Quanbao, Zhang Quande was surprised, and even Wang Yi was surprised. Speaking of which, when Zhang Jingxiao accompanied Wang Yi to save people in Sanhuai, he begged Wang Yi to say something foreign when he was fine. At that time, Wang Yi was unintentional to speak, but he didn't expect Zhang Jingxiao to be intentional to listen.

At first, the topic was the pound sterling, then paper money, and then the Scotsman John Law, who was a strong promoter of European paper money, believed in prosperity and issued paper money. This thing is also a legend, and he is positioned as a convicted murderer, a prison escapee, a greedy gambler, and a super financial genius with shortcomings. He was once the head of the French treasury and was loved by all of France. He was the creator of the first stock market bubble, experienced rising asset prices, and experienced the first modern cycle of economic boom and bust, that is, economic crisis, which indirectly caused the French Revolution. He owned a quarter of the land in the United States, but he lost his fortune in the first crash. Later, Wang Yi also talked about the establishment of the Dutch East India Company, because John Law was living in Amsterdam at the time. Then, by extension, the Dutch East India Company talks about the modern corporate system and the meaning of the existence of the company.

After experiencing the initial surprise, Wang Yi smiled and said, "I don't have such great ambitions!" But I know that if you want to save the Northeast, you can't do it without money. ”

This is the truth, Zhang Quanbao also admitted, and he can now see that his son has been deeply influenced by Wang Yi in just a few days. There are some things that he still doesn't understand, and Zhang Jingxiao also saw his father's doubts at this time, so he told the story of the joint-stock company that Wang Yi told him again.

"I didn't expect the company to have such a huge role!" Zhang Quande sighed.

"What kind of business does the virtuous brother want to do?" On the issue of opening a company, after reaching a consensus, Zhang Quanbao asked at this time.

"Paper mills, printing mills, grain and soybean oil mills, livestock farms, and if possible, cement factories and glass and utensils factories." Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "This is my plan for the first year. ”

Hearing that Wang Yi was going to open so many factories in one breath, the Zhang family father and son were also surprised!
