No. 415: What I seek is transcendence

Wei Dongsheng didn't want to turn his face with Yang Xinning.

At least, not right now.

The laborers of the sugarcane plantations were just a rabble, and it was difficult for Wei Dongsheng to rely on them to make a revolt. More importantly, the Song Sheng firm has just taken shape, and now it has not yet formed a solid interest group, and not many people are willing to regard the Song Sheng firm as a lifelong career. At this time, he turned his face with Yang Xinning, and Wei Dongsheng's winning rate was only one percent at most.

Just like the more and more cohesive Spring and Autumn Department in the real world, the longer Song Sheng Firm operates, the more effective the interest groups gathered around Song Sheng Firm. Since time is on Wei Dongsheng's side, why should Wei Dongsheng compete with Yang Xinning for a while?

In the face of the contradictions and cracks that gradually intensified, Wei Dongsheng decisively chose to compromise and continued to divide Yang Xinning's team with soft knives.

The object of this discord is Yang Xinning's second son, Yang Futu.

There is a difference between internal contradictions and external contradictions, and Yang Xinning's team is by no means monolithic. Similar to the common inheritance crisis of the imperial family, Yang Xinning's eldest son Yang Beiwang and second son Yang Futu are now also worried about inheritance issues, and it is difficult to cooperate closely.

At the same time, Yang Xinning's hesitation and hesitation further aggravated the conflict between the brothers. In other words, Yang Xinning initially tended to follow the tradition of "establishing a descendant but not a concubine, and establishing a long rather than a young", and cultivated his eldest son Yang Beiwang as an heir; When the two brothers were a little older, Yang Xinning was surprised to find that Yang Beiwang's ability was very mediocre, and the second son Yang Futu might be the most suitable heir. Sensing Yang Xinning's hesitation, some of his faction's vassals immediately moved and began to bet on Yang Futu.

At this moment, Yang Beiwang followed Yang Xinning to deal with the affairs of the port, and when Yang Xinning occasionally went to sea, Yang Beiwang took charge of the Shunta State regime; Yang Futu personally supervised several sea vessels, indirectly inheriting Yang Xinning's maritime prestige and power, and his actual military strength had surpassed Yang Beiwang. As far as the Shunta royal power is concerned, Yang Futu's threat far exceeds that of Yang Beiwang, after all, Yang Futu has ships, money and soldiers, and Yang Beiwang is like a political official who can be deposed at any time.

In terms of pure strategy, joining forces with the weak and resisting the strong is the orthodox road, and Wei Dongsheng seems to be united with Yang Beiwang to contain Yang Futu.

However, there is also Yang Xinning above Yang Beiwang and Yang Futu.

Yang Xinning now favors Yang Futu more and more, believing that Yang Futu has the ability to lead the Shunta Kingdom. If Wei Dongsheng dares to unite with Yang Beiwang to contain Yang Futu, Yang Xinning may immediately see through Wei Dongsheng's strategy of uniting the weak and resisting the strong, and while eradicating the legacy and abolishing Wei Dongsheng, he will firmly believe that Yang Futu, who is more suitable for Cao Pi's role, will be pushed to a high position.

As a puppet king, Wei Dongsheng can only show sincerity by "joining forces".

Of course, Wei Dongsheng didn't care whether he was strong Yang Futu or Lianweak Yang Beiwang. As long as the contradiction between Yang Beiwang and Yang Futu can be intensified, and the development time for Song Sheng's firm can be won for a few more years, it will be Wei Dongsheng's victory.

Since it is safest to unite Yang Futu at this stage, let's unite Yang Futu.

It is not difficult to unite Yang Futu. Song Sheng has a cane sugar industry chain, and Yang Futu has an armed merchant ship, and the joint operation of the cane sugar trade is a match made in heaven. Between 1300 and 1301, Wei Dongsheng openly and honestly allowed Yang Futu to install his cronies appropriately, and Song Sheng's firm quickly became the private property of Yang Futu.

Wei Dongsheng's bottomless compromise once aroused Yang Niansong's dissatisfaction: I, Yang Niansong's Song Sheng, why did I give him Yang Futu?

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

When Song Sheng's firm became a coveted cake, Yang Niansong began to complain that Yang Futu had taken away her family business, and Yang Beiwang also began to worry about his inheritance. is just a few simple strategies to dissociate, in addition to the young daughter of the Yang family, Yang Beiwang, Yang Futu, Yang Niansong brothers and sisters have more and more internal contradictions.

Of course, there are still hidden dangers.

Since Yang Futu became a shareholder of Song Sheng's firm, the relationship between the two companies has warmed up rapidly. Although Yang Niansong resented Yang Futu's bullying and encroachment on her family business, the blood family relationship is still blood family after all, Yang Niansong still regards Yang Futu as an elder brother, and Yang Niansong still regards Yang Futu's children as his own nephews and nieces.

At the same time, Yang Futu's foundation was in the sea, and in order to control a group of unruly maritime merchants who were both merchants and thieves, he had to go to sea himself from time to time to preside over trade. In particular, Wei Dongsheng indirectly started the sugar trade in Shunta, and Yang Futu needed to negotiate with the Tang maritime merchants in the Nanyang Islands, the Mengyuan maritime merchants in the coastal provinces of Mengyuan, and the maritime merchants in South and West Asia to negotiate the sugar quotas and pricing in various places. Yang Futu's wife, that is, Wei Dongsheng and Yang Niansong's sister-in-law, often led her children to Yang Niansong to pass the time when Yang Futu went to sea.

Yang Futu was born in 1277 and was just 27 years old in 1304. However, due to the common custom of early marriage in contemporary times, Yang Futu already had three children, the eldest son in 1297, the second son in 1301, and the last son in 1303.

In the courtyard of Batang County, Yang Futu hugged the young last daughter, sometimes discussing some common words with Yang Niansong, and sometimes severely scolding the eldest son and second son; Yang Niansong held his two-year-old nephew in his arms and took his six-year-old nephew to play with him, his eyes full of doting and envy. Obviously, because he has no children, Yang Niansong empathizes and loves his two nephews as if they were his own sons.

This kind of aunt-nephew affection is very common, and unmarried and childless aunts are always especially doting on the nephews and nieces of their brother's family.

It's a pity that the Yang family is not an ordinary family.

The closer the heirs of the Yang family are, the more shaky the Shunta royal power becomes, and the two are fundamentally incompatible.

The relationship between Yang Niansong and the Yang family is an important part of Wei Dongsheng's dismantling of Yang Lixin's power without using swords. If Yang Niansong regards her nephews and nieces as blood descendants because of her heirs, she will definitely imperceptibly stand in Yang Futu's position to think about the future for her nephews and nieces, and then form a family alliance that cannot be splashed with water. In the era of "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great", if there is no heir by her own bloodline, why should Yang Niansong resent Yang Futu for encroaching on her family business? Wouldn't it be a better choice to pass on the inheritance to your nephews and nieces?

This is the bond of blood and kinship.

Silently observing Yang Niansong's envious gaze from a distance, Wei Dongsheng felt something in his heart.

Thirty years of memory deduced by the inferior Tomorrow Ring, the concept of family collapsed because of the invasion of the Shadow Empire, and more than ten years of dark tempering slowly developed Wei Dongsheng's special values of ignoring love, marriage, family, and bloodline. Affected by thirty years of memory, from 2002 to 2016 in the real world, Wei Dongsheng never considered managing a marriage or love with his heart. In order to avoid these trivial troubles and the interference of other people's rumors, Wei Dongsheng simply concluded a special bond with Bai Guo early.

Wei Dongsheng has never experienced marriage.

Wei Dongsheng also didn't really raise children.

Thinking from the perspective of the larger history of mankind, is this a defect?

Even if the idea of marriage and the idea of family are destined to dissolve in the future, this dissolution should be a great transcendence after the practice of understanding. Not to mention love, since it pays attention to all kinds of subtle self-feelings, why should Wei Dongsheng force it to practice, just treat it naturally. It's a pity that Wei Dongsheng has never met a woman who can really make him really excited, not Bai Guo, not Ji Susu, and even more impossible than his nominal wife Yang Niansong.

Marriage is different from mystical love, it is a universal social relationship, and the inheritance of children is also a universal social relationship. In particular, the ancient concept of succession of children, even if the social sciences and natural sciences develop into the 21st century, whether it is capitalism or communism, as large as billions of assets, as small as jobs, public opinion generally recognizes blood inheritance. Practical experience may be more helpful for Wei Dongsheng to understand the superiority of bloodline inheritance.

Thinking of this, Wei Dongsheng suddenly realized.

The tenth reincarnation started with King Shunta, which at first glance seems to be a common routine for overseas nation-building to reverse Mengyuan, but in fact, the connotation is by no means so. After all, the inferior Tomorrow Ring is an educational product, and the real purpose of the tenth reincarnation may be to make Wei Dongsheng wake up to his defects, and then provide Wei Dongsheng with practical learning conditions, and finally make up for Wei Dongsheng's incomplete ideal country.

Why did the first reincarnation start as King Shunta? The answer may be to make up for Wei Dongsheng's shortcomings in political wisdom, so that Wei Dongsheng personally tried his hand in the Shunta Kingdom.

Why did the first reincarnation start as a puppet king? The answer may be to test Wei Dongsheng's political game wisdom in practice, guide Wei Dongsheng to learn and master the basic skills of cooperation, vertical and horizontal, and learn how to dismember the team of the powerful minister Yang Xinning without blood.

In addition, royal power has always been a sign of blood succession. If Wei Dongsheng wants to straighten out the power structure of the Shunta Kingdom, sooner or later he will encounter the problem of bloodline heirs. Imagine a childless and childless puppet kingdom, even if he is invincible in the world, how can he build a real empire? Even if Wei Dongsheng has the ability to dominate the world, when he dies, it may be the time when the empire collapses. As for the republic option, with the restriction of "prohibiting the dissemination of the social and natural sciences", a republican empire is absolutely a ridiculous delusion that ignores the economic base.

That is to say, the problem of bloodline heirs has existed for a long time.

The first reincarnation, the politics of royal power and the bloodline heirs may be the core topics of the inferior Tomorrow Ring hope that Wei Dongsheng will practice and learn.

The inferior Tomorrow Ring is guiding Wei Dongsheng to face his own flaws.

Only by defeating these flaws can Wei Dongsheng continue to grow.

Is Wei Dongsheng afraid of these defects?

The answer, of course, is not afraid.

If this is the teaching curriculum of the inferior Tomorrow Ring, Wei Dongsheng is willing to accept these challenges, proving that he is not afraid of them, but that he truly transcends them.

Love aside, since the world says that love is unreasonable, then let it all be fate.

Marriage is such a trivial matter, it is not worth Wei Dongsheng's fear and fear, and a nominal wife Yang Niansong will be stuffed with inferior products tomorrow, won't Wei Dongsheng passively accept it? If the times call for marriage, I will get married; If the times call for a blood heir, I'll give birth.

That's it.

That's all
