To tell the truth, today's Nanxiang is also at war between heaven and man. She knows the direction of future history: after Wang Zhi's surrender, he was placed under house arrest by Hu Zongxian, and many thieves at sea did not dare to act rashly.

But since the so-called "righteous man" named Wang Bengu beheaded him and colluded with Hu Zongxian and the Japanese invaders, the matter immediately became out of control. After Wang Zhi's death, the Japanese were no longer contained, and Mao Haifeng vowed to avenge his father, and the entire southeast coast immediately became war-torn and precarious. If it weren't for Qi Jiguang and Yiwu soldiers, the entire Daming foundation would be ruined, and it may not be impossible.

Moreover, even if Qi Jiguang expelled the Japanese invaders, the entire Ming court was even more empty due to years of war. It wasn't until ten years later that Longqing switched on, and this sea ban system was finally gradually abolished.

But if Wang Zhi does not die, I am afraid that the future history of China may not be rewritten. The sixteenth century was the world of the colonists, if there was really this five-peak ship owner across the seas and trade between the two places, then Southeast Asia, Australia, and even Africa and South America, there would be black-haired and black-eyed Chinese, what kind of situation would this be?

With a sharp turn of thought, Nan Xiang sighed and said, "The concubine is soft-spoken, if Mr. doesn't have the heart to surrender, why bother with me." Sir just wants a result, either I convince you or you convince me. Whatever the outcome, you'd better make a decision early, yes or no? ”

Wang Zhi was suffocated, and now he is such a mentality. When ordinary people make a choice between two sides and cannot make a decision, no matter how others help him or give advice, he will always stand on the opposite side and argue with others. If you let him surrender, he will scold the Ming court for not being trusted; Let him not surrender, and he will count the benefits after surrendering.

"Not bad...... Wang admitted to himself, as if he was ten years old in an instant, "It's okay...... I won't fight with you anymore, but tell me, how should I deal with myself? ”

"Mr. has been in business for many years, and has seen countless people from Dongying, Siam, Java and even Portuguese, so he naturally knows the huge benefits brought by colonization. If the fleet under Mr. can be used by the Ming Dynasty, this will definitely be a great cause for the blessing of the century, and the stakes of this, Mr. will not not understand, right? ”

"Yes, the Zhu family is mediocre, and they actually regard the sea ban as a national policy! Over the years, I have seen many Fanbang red hairs, they are negligent in etiquette, not edified, I disdain to associate with them. However, after several transactions, I found that they knew astronomy, geography, mathematics, machinery, firearms, and military affairs. Those sour people in the Ming Court who are also sour and rotten Confucians all day long are just some frogs at the bottom of the well who think they are the superior kingdom of the Heavenly Empire! ”

Nan Xiang's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. No matter how advanced Wang Zhi's vision is, he was born in this era, which is undoubtedly his greatest sorrow and the sorrow of this era. He is destined not to be tolerated by this world, and as the object of everyone's verbal criticism, he will eventually become a stepping stone for others to make contributions in history books.

Thinking of this, Nan Xiang couldn't help asking: "Since Mr. Wufeng talked about etiquette and education, do you know where the etiquette comes from?" Where does indoctrination come from? ”

Wang Zhi didn't expect Nan Xiang to suddenly ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Of course it is...... Confucius ......"

Nan Xiang shook his head: "A hundred schools of thought contend, and Confucius is only one of the hundred schools." If it weren't for Dong Zhongshu's exclusive respect for Confucianism, the world might not be the same as it is today. Moreover, there are Yasheng and Xunzi in the distance, and Cheng Zhu and Yangming in the near future, and the so-called etiquette education is also developed with the times, and it is by no means the work of one person. ”

"That ......"

"Qi Guo Guan Zhong once said, 'Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough and knows honor and disgrace', the so-called etiquette education, that is all things that people consider after they are full of food and clothing. Even Confucius once said, 'You don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine', which is the truth. ”

"Yes, Guan Zi's words are indeed true."

"Don't look at those Western red hairs, what Portuguese, English, Franco, all of them are barbarians with different etiquette. But after they colonize everywhere and accumulate enough wealth, their etiquette and education will definitely be self-taught, and they can even surpass Middle-earth in one fell swoop. At that time, I am afraid that those rotten Confucians in the DPRK and China are still dreaming of the heavenly kingdom. ”

Wang Zhi was taken aback, instinctively incredulous at first, but the more he pondered in his heart, the more he felt that such a possibility was possible. Before he could think about Nan Xiang's words carefully, Nan Xiang didn't give him time, and suddenly laughed evilly: "Well, in my teacher's words...... Oh yes! ”

"The economic base determines the superstructure!"

…………

Nan Xiang's words are not untargeted, since Wang Zhi has a forward-looking vision, he might as well let him be more advanced. In any case, the only way in front of him was surrender, and it was only a matter of time or time.

In that case, why not speak more thoroughly?

"Ship owner, in fact, you have already made a decision in your heart, otherwise you will be bothered by this matter so far?" Nan Xiang bowed deeply again, "The concubine is courageous, although I expect that Mr. has the heart to surrender, but I have to mention a few things to Mr. that are inappropriate." ”

"Please." Wang Zhixiao I has never been able to get the etiquette of being equal in front of him, but at this moment, he held Nanxiang's body and used the word "please".

"First, the matter of opening the sea involves the ancestral system, and it also violates the interests of the gentry in the DPRK and China, and it is bound to be difficult. When the gentleman goes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to seek benevolence. ”

"Second, the gentleman is gone, and most of the fleet is still at sea. Sir does not die, the fleet does not move. But if Mr. is unfortunate enough to die in the Ming Court, the world will inevitably be in chaos. I also hope that Mr. will think more about it for the sake of the people of Li on the southeast coast. ”

"Third, Mr. Gao Zhi, in this world, I am afraid that only Hu Zongxian and Master Hu can be regarded as your confidant. After surrendering, he promised to save his life and would not break his promise. Nan Xiang said loudly, but immediately changed his words, "It's a pity that there is always a lack of literati and corrupt Confucians who claim to be 'righteous' in this world, Mr. is here, but there is no need to worry too much about Lord Hu, but those petty officials who compare themselves to the sky, adults must be more vigilant......"

"Needless to say." Wang Zhi stopped Nan Xiang's words and said, "You are called opposition, but in fact, you tell you that you don't have to act anymore." Thank you. ”

Nan Xiang seems to have a string in his heart that has been touched. She will be a person in the future, and compared with the people of this world, her vision will always be more detached. It is this detachment that makes Nanxiang always see himself as a passerby when he is in this world.

But today, she is no longer willing to be just a passerby, she also wants to make some changes, even if she really can't change anything.

She never expected that the person who could cherish her the most in this world was the big boss who had caused her countless troubles along the way. She pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Sir, have you really made up your mind?" ”

"Somebody has to try something, doesn't it?"

Wang Zhi said with a smile.
