Chapter 1562 - An Unexpected Residence
Remember [ ] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"Because he thinks we're noble Kyoto people."
Kyoko said with a little helplessness: "In their eyes, Kyoto people are noble and elegant. β
"Such a filter?"
Ye Yi was surprised.
Kyoko says, "Kyoto has been in Japan since ancient times. In most people's hearts, Kyoto will always be a classical beauty with autumn leaves, as if it will always live in the rhythm of a thousand years. And Tokyo - Tokyo is a modern witch in the hearts of the Japanese, here, there are countless opportunities and desires, anyone can achieve their dreams in Tokyo, but they can also be swallowed by Tokyo's desires at any time. β
"Like Chang'an and Shanghai?"
Ye Yi's example made Kyoko smile, and then said, "I remember that Chang'an has now been renamed Xi'an. β
"But Xi'an and Chang'an give people the feeling that they will never be equal," Ye Yi said, "Xi'an leaves everyone with the impression of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, the Qin dialect, the graves of various historical celebrities, Chang'an - is the most classical and glorious name in the history of Chinese civilization, as long as we say this name, we will think of Li Bai who drank under the moon, think of the court ladies in long skirts, think of generations of monarchs and the Quartet barbarians who entered the core of the Chang'an Dynasty......"
"I see what you mean."
Gongzi sighed and said, "Chang'an is indeed different from Xi'an, although it is only one word short. β
"Yes, it's like Edo and Tokyo are different."
Ye Yi's words made Kyoko sigh again.
"Sure enough, I'm starting to miss the past."
"Who wouldn't love the past? It's just that we know that the past isn't all true, and that too much nostalgia for the past doesn't make the present better. β
"That's right."
β¦β¦
Ramen noodles are served.
A few people ate noodles and chatted about the strange things in Japanese history.
For example β
"You know what? Wheat was not cultivated until the Sengoku period, so flour and noodles were precious foods that could only be eaten by daimyos. Of course, rice has always been a precious substance in Japan, and it was not until the beginning of the Meiji Restoration that rice was widely eaten in Japan. β
"Well, I knew that Japan was short of supplies, but I didn't expect it to be so scarce."
Ye Yi sighed.
Kyoko said, "In such a narrow land, war and survival are always going hand in hand. So, when Japan caught the last train of the Industrial Revolution and tried to leap into a new era, it immediately discovered a cruel problem - it needed to build a large industrial system, but it did not have most of the resources needed to build an industrial system, whether it was food or steel energy...... Nothing......"
"But Britain tooβ"
"Britain began the industrial revolution as early as the time of your Qianlong Emperor, and they also obtained a large amount of land in North America and India through colonial means, which was rich in minerals and met the needs of Britain's primitive accumulation."
Kyoko said expressionlessly, "I know that I am suspected of whitewashing my country by saying these words. β
"It's not suspicious, it's whitewashing, but it's also telling a fact."
Ye Yi said gently: "Any country needs a lot of material support if it wants to develop, but you are unfortunately at the end of barbarism. β
"What do you mean by the end of barbarism?"
Li Yijian asked with great interest.
Ye said: "Britain has obtained a lot of resources by barbaric plundering of the colonies, so the British claim that they are a country of gentlemen, but the dignity of a gentleman is actually exchanged for the lives of the poor people of the colonies." The same thing happened in the United States after independence - the United States has never abolished slavery, because only when black slaves are legal, they can maintain the gentlemanly face of white people while having enough output and labor, and the reason for the abolition of black slavery is purely because of the political situation at that time and various internal and external factors - the so-called sympathy for black people and the light of human rights, in the eyes of the politicians who launched the abolition movement, at most one percent......"
"And the Yankees did not really ban slavery after the abolition of black slaves, they also deceived a large number of yellow people from the East and became substitutes for black slaves, in addition, black people were still discriminated against even after the abolitionist movement, and in the sixties and seventies there were all kinds of invisible invisible segregation that framed the lives of black people......"
Bai Sifan added: "So I don't like this group of Yankees, who brag all day long about how human rights, how big guys, how democratic, in fact, they are all shit!" If they didn't have the natural advantage of white skin, let them stand together with the black and yellow people, and maybe who would win the final victory! β
ββ¦β¦ I think so too. β
Ye Yi said quietly.
Bai Sifan said: "It can be seen that the Yankees are a bunch of self-righteous fools who feel that they contribute to liberal democracy, but this excessive liberal democratic propaganda will sooner or later kill themselves!" After all, what Americans like most is to raise Gu. β
ββ¦β¦ Why do I feel that your indignation is somewhat overstepping? β
Ye Yi looked at Bai Sifan worriedly.
Bai Sifan said: "It's not that my indignation exceeds the limit, it's that I feel that I'm not wrong at all, and I just have the right to express my displeasure!" This group of Yankees! Neurotic Yankees! β
ββ¦β¦ I think you'd better ......."
Ye Yi touched his chin, not wanting to correct Bai Sifan.
Kyoko had already finished eating ramen at this time, and after checking out, she said to Bai Sifan and the others, "Do you want to see Yun's folk performance?" Historically, this has been the birthplace of many things. β
"Folklore performances?"
Bai Sifan showed an enthusiastic expression: "I want to see a group of people walking on the road carrying a huge stick!" I think that's fun. β
"That's the primitive fertility cult!"
Kyoko looked at Bai Sifan with a deep face.
Bai Sifan laughed and said, "Then forget it, after all, the ladies are present, so you should pay attention to your image." β
"You still know how to pay attention to your image!"
The corners of Ye Yi's forehead are bruised.
Bai Sifan smiled reluctantly.
Kyoko said, "Let's bear with me, after all, this child's boots are real...... By the way, little Yiyi, how do you usually describe this guy? β
"How to describe it? Of course, he felt that there was something wrong with his brain. β
Ye Yi laughed at Bai Sifan without giving any face.
Bai Sifan was not angry, but said slowly: "It's okay, I don't care." β
"I don't care, I'm just ......"
Ye Yi looked outside and said, "It's getting dark, where are we staying tonight?" β
"With me, you'll never have to worry about finding the best place to live."
Kyoko promised, and then said, "But I may find you an unexpected place to stay." β
