Chapter 279 Nothing is pure

"What about Millie?" Qin Mubai asked a little speechlessly, since Elle's surname is Rockefeller, how many Rockefellers are there in the United States? Millie is estimated to be inseparable from Elle.

"Millie, what's wrong with Millie?" asked Ellie, a little dazed.

"I said, Millie, don't play stupid for me. "Qin Mubai is a little crazy.

"Millie is my classmate, why are you asking this?"

"Are you sure?" Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, before Washington said that Millie could understand Chinese, although there was something strange about not knowing, but if he could understand it, he pretended not to understand, and his face was stupid and sweet, if there was no problem, there would be a ghost.

Just now Elle said that her surname is Rockefeller, so it's very simple, maybe Millie is her bodyguard or something.

But now Elle says no.

"Of course sure, we didn't know each other until after college. Ellie said very dryly.

"Okay, but you said that you are a Rockefeller, and you dare to go to China by yourself, and the people in your family are really relieved. Qin Mubai couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, Qin, you think too much, although it's true that I'm a Rockefeller, but there are more people in the Rockefeller family, and I have no right to be in charge of the family, and I have no hope of taking over the family, no one will take care of me, besides, even if it is the heir of the family, if you have the right to inherit, no one will take care of it until you reach a certain age. Ellie said with a smile.

"Okay...... I really can't figure out these big families...... Ellie, I said before that I liked Scarlett and Gal Gadot was joking, you don't toss people, everyone Gadot is married, I don't want to break up other people's marriages, don't take it seriously, I didn't want to ask for anything in return when I helped you. Qin Mubai said helplessly.

"I know, I didn't tell you my full name, but you've always helped us, and you haven't asked for our money, and Rockefeller has paid for it. Elle said with a grin.

“...... Well, then you've already paid me back. Qin Mubai also simply nodded and said.

"I know, then I'll invite you to dinner, you can't refuse. Ellie began.

"Okay, I'm going to Washington now, and I'll contact you when I get Mr. Washington to the place. Qin Mubai immediately nodded and said.

"Well, then I know, that's all, goodbye. Ellie nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mubai was also a little speechless, does the Rockefeller family have this famous saying? If there is a favor, it will be repaid? But forget it, it has nothing to do with him, anyway, no matter how you say this, it is considered that he has taken advantage of it, but ...... It seems that he didn't spend much money before and after, that is, more than 100,000 yuan, but he slept with Scarlett all night, and he lost or didn't he lose?

I guess it's not a loss, if you say this price, it is estimated that many people in China will give this money.

Shaking his head and throwing this messy thought to the back of his mind, Qin Mubai went directly to take a bath and rest, and he had to get up early tomorrow.

As the capital of the United States, Washington City is naturally the famous political center of the United States, as if many international discussions on American strategies often use Washington instead of the United States.

The whole city of Washington is not too big, and after getting up in the morning, Qin Mubai took Washington directly to the White House, of course, if you go in, it doesn't seem to work, because this needs to be applied for in advance, etc., although the White House can be visited, but it is not so easy.

However, there are a lot of tourists taking pictures here outside the White House every day, so it doesn't matter, in fact, many domestic people tend to mistake the White House, you ask a lot of domestic people, which is the White House, they tend to think that the one with a circular spire, the one in the rotunda is the White House.

Actually, it's not, it's the U.S. Capitol, the White House is where the president of the United States lives, its area is not very large, and the floors are not high, and this place, when Washington was in power, began to be built, but when he left office, it was not renovated, but the walls and roof were built.

At that time, Washington made a request for this place: it must not be a palace, it must not be luxurious, because the servant of the state who lived here, he thought that it would be enough to have three stories high. The current White House has only three floors in the strict sense of the word, and of course it has four floors if you count the bottom floor.

But it still faithfully carried out what Washington said back then. Standing outside it, looking at the White House inside, and the tourists around him who were constantly taking pictures, Washington sighed and said, "I said back then, this must not be a palace." ”

Qin Mubai smiled, and then comforted him and said: "Actually, Mr. Washington, this is not a palace, strictly speaking, this can be regarded as representing the face of the United States, you think, the United States is now the only superpower in the world, whether it is military or economic, and as the president of the United States, you can't live in tatters, right? This is also one of the symbols of the country." ”

It's not that Qin Mubai defended the President of the United States, he just wanted his guests not to be so entangled, Washington was silent for a moment, and then nodded and said: "What you said is right, these things are inevitable after all." ”

"It was burned down by the British, including here and the Capitol in the United States. Qin Mubai said with a smile.

At that time, Washington had already passed away, so he probably didn't know about it, although it would instill modern knowledge in him, but this modern knowledge could not be really comprehensive, and it was estimated that people's heads could not stand it.

Looking at the outside here, in fact, there is nothing to see, after all, it is impossible to visit inside, so it can only be seen outside, after looking at it for a while, Qin Mubai and they were just about to leave, when they saw a group of people walking here, as if they were demonstrating, but looking at their slogans and slogans, it seems to be American farmers and the like.

However, there are not many people, only a few dozen and less than a hundred people, such a small protest group, almost every day here in the White House, so this is not curious, seeing this scene Washington just looked, and did not go over to inquire or anything like that. After looking at the White House, Qin Mubai and the others went to look at the US Capitol again, and then went to the Lincoln Memorial.

The Lincoln Memorial is connected to the Washington Monument in the United States, the Washington Monument is naturally related to Washington, it is built to commemorate Washington, there are 188 private, regimental and worldwide donated memorial stones from all over the world, including one written in Chinese, donated by the Qing government at that time.

Qin Mubai didn't know how Washington felt when he saw such a monument erected by the United States for a few years in the future, anyway, he didn't express an opinion, but it should feel good when he thought about it.

However, he was quite interested in Lincoln, "This person is what Elle said earlier, Abraham Lincoln?" Looking at the statue in front of him, Washington asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, it's him, the 16th president of the United States, when he was president, the Civil War broke out in the United States, that is, the Civil War, he was adamantly against the division of the country, and then abolished slavery in the rebel states, and promulgated the Homestead Act, the Emancipation Proclamation. He has also been named the greatest president of the United States many times. Qin Mubai nodded and introduced it to Washington.

Washington immediately smiled, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Although we have fought for the independence of the United States all our lives, what I see now is that the status of black Americans is probably not high." ”

Qin Mubai didn't speak, how can you say this, you said that the status of black people in the United States is not high, but everyone has a black person as president, although this may be a political need, but no matter what, there are still black people who are president.

But if you say that the status of black people in the United States is high, it is not right, there are countless white supremacist racists in the United States, and there are not a few such people, and most importantly, among the capitalists in the United States who occupy an important position in American society, there are very many such people.

This is the most important thing, of course, those capitalists will never show it in ordinary times, these people are probably no worse than these people who have been in the political arena all their lives, but you say that they are so willing that blacks are equal to them, this is probably nonsense.

And it's not just blacks, but also Mexicans, and yellow people, and now the status of the Chinese is starting to improve, but that's also because the status of China is starting to improve, and you can't reduce the sense of superiority in people's hearts.

"At that time, I am afraid he was also politically necessary. Washington said lightly.

Political needs, these four words sound simple, but what is political needs, Qin Mubai is not easy to say, this thing, it is difficult for you to say clearly, in the hearts of all Americans, Lincoln is the greatest president of the United States, including many foreign media comments, such as the British Times and so on.

Including the domestic Baidu Encyclopedia, there are all praises on it, this thing, I don't know how many people praise it every day, but although Washington didn't say it, but he has already said the political need, Qin Mubai can't say anything more about it.

"I think he's still working on that. Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, Lincoln was born in a poor family, so he should be able to understand those poor people.

"Perhaps, but the fact that he was able to implement these laws at that time had a lot to do with the American environment at that time, do you know how many black slaves there were in the United States at that time? And the abolition of slavery was probably also caused by the domestic environment of the United States at that time, if it were not for the Civil War, in order to win this war, it is estimated that this bill would never have been passed. Washington shrugged his shoulders.

"I hate to admit it, but that's what it is. Washington added.

"There is nothing in this world that is without a reason. Qin Mubai could only sigh with emotion.
