As soon as he heard Ye Chunqiu's hypothesis, Sun Qi didn't think much about it, he shook his head like a rattle, it was obvious that he had an instinctive fear of going to the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself, this uncle is now seeing all kinds of people in the China Merchants Bureau every day, and he is also taking care of many things in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he can be regarded as having seen a lot of the world, and he is a very skilled and reasonable person. But even so, as soon as he heard that he was going to sea, his first reaction was to shake his head.

It is conceivable that this Middle Kingdom has not had the memory of the ocean for too long, too long, and there are so many people like Sun Qi who have an instinctive fear of the rough sea. They are accustomed to being immersed in the countryside, and even if they are just beggars and vagrants, most of them only think of flowing from one state capital to another, and never have the idea of going to the sea.

To put it bluntly, the horror of the sea has formed a certain solidified concept, so Ye Chunqiu got five million taels of silver from the Wa Kingdom, in order to boost the enthusiasm of the shareholders, and to let the water division of the Zhenguo Mansion get greater support, so what is the purpose of this gold and silver mountain of Ye Chunqiu now?

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself, why did the Francois go to sea in this era, and they had to go all the way to the east? Even in later generations, when the Americans wanted to recruit Chinese laborers, they still created a concept of so-called gold everywhere to attract people to come.

Ye Chunqiu thought for a while, and said: "Yes, my uncle has been doing business for so many years, and over the years, he has seen more people of all colors, even from foreign domains, and there are countless people, even so, my uncle is still afraid of going to sea, not to mention those ordinary people, their short-sightedness, the vast majority of people, usually have never left their hometown twenty miles away in eight lifetimes, does my uncle think that if the Zhenguo Mansion opens the sea, there will be countless people flocking to it?" For a long time, our Ming Dynasty seems to be locked, this lock has been locked for more than a hundred years, people who have been in contact with the ocean, have long been turned into loess, the memories and information left by the ancestors have also been burned by some people with ulterior motives, since then, this sea has become the work of Wang Yang's thieves, and has become a group of city fox society rats who have seen the unsightly deeds, uncle, the current atmosphere, in addition to the fear of going to the sea, there are many concerns, in the eyes of the world, but anyone who goes to the sea is a thief, I'm afraid that I can't teach people to raise their heads for the rest of my life, you must know that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, how easy is it to reverse this concept? This is not something that can be done overnight, and what we need to do now is to make it a fashion, and let many people know that there are countless treasures in this sea, but whoever can go to the sea can earn countless riches. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu looked at Sun Qi and seemed to gradually understand and nodded, and continued: "As for merging these gold mines and silver mines into the Zhenguo Mansion, in private, Chunqiu can be swallowed by one person, but the Ye family has already accounted for the majority of this Zhenguo Mansion, and the Ye family's current speed of accumulating wealth is amazing, even if these wealth are merged into the Zhenguo Mansion, the Ye family still has a profit of thirty percent, why monopolize it?" ”

As he spoke, Ye Chunqiu stood up and walked to the glass window, he faced the glass window, looking at the countless tall buildings, countless chimneys, and the clock face clearly visible on the clock tower, and the hands were walking in the snow.

Ye Chunqiu's eyes seemed to be looking at the scene in front of him, but they seemed to be looking at the distant void, and said slowly: "Today, I don't care about wealth anymore, what is the difference between a million taels of silver and two million taels of silver?" The Zhenguo Mansion is rich, then there is the wealth of the Ye family, the Zhenguo Mansion is strong, the Ye family can flourish, there are countless riches in the world, the former dignitaries and nobles, only saw the eyes, only saw a little bit of meat foam, so for the sake of that little bit of fat in the corners, they fought for red ears and red ears, and fought for you to live and die, but what was the result? As a result, their wealth may not last, and the people they exploit, and the losers of the competition who are exploited by them will never recover. ”

When Ye Chunqiu said this, he looked back at Sun Qi, and then said meaningfully: "Now, you can't go on like this anymore, if you smash it again, you will be one step behind, and you will be backward step by step, and when the time comes, it will be too late to wake up when you taste the pain of the heart." So, what's the harm of the Ye family being an example? The wealth of the world is inexhaustible, and the Ye family really doesn't care about this bit of gold and silver. ”

When it comes to the word "world", Ye Chunqiu's heart is touched, in the context of the Han people since ancient times, the so-called world is the whole world, all the lands and countries they know, from the desert in the north, to the West in the south, to the Wa Kingdom in the east, and to the Great Food in the west, are all this world, and they are the central country and the master of the world.

Now, it is the eve of the collapse of the concept of the world, or in other words, the Han people's view of the world, which began to change from this time until it was woken up two or three hundred years later, when there was no world in the central country, and only China remained.

But without the world, is China still called the central government?

Well, don't think about it much, in fact, I just want to take this mountain of gold and silver to weave a story of turning over, and then deceive people to go to the sea, there is no feeling, what family and country are all nonsense, pure foolishness, that's all.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but bow his head and smile at what he thought, and after half a while, he raised his eyes and looked at his uncle with clear eyes.

Sun Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I will arrange this matter, and I will also report it to the Zhenguo Mansion." Spring and autumn, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, hey, there are still a lot of things going on there at China Merchants! ”

Ye Chunqiu also knew that Sun Qi was no more idle than him, so he didn't say anything to keep him, and sent Sun Qi out, and then returned to the room alone.

After a short time, someone came to report and said, "Zhenguo Gong, there is a person from Annan who has come to ask to see him." ”

"See?" Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and said suspiciously: "See what?" ”

"It is said that this person is a noble person in Annan, and he has dealt with the shopkeeper Sun in the Zhenguo Mansion before, saying that he wanted to buy guns and ammunition, but the shopkeeper Sun refused, but now for some reason, he found out that the grandfather was in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he asked for help."

Ye Chunqiu suddenly remembered that Uncle Fang Cai seemed to have mentioned this matter to him, could it be that this Annan man really wanted to be a gun? (To be continued.) )
