Chapter 560 Middle Class
The dispute here unconsciously became louder, which attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, and they soon all gathered around.
"It's unbelievable, it's the most ridiculous dinner I've ever seen. This person called the third young master is more rude than a ruffian, and the respect lady is the minimum cultivation of a gentleman, do you know what this is for? "Anna is really angry.
"Don't talk to me, those Western scenery has nothing to do with the master, and the master will break with you today......" Guo Sanshi took out a lot of energy, blocked the middle of the crooked path paved with gravel, and began to play scoundrel with his hands on his waist.
That's when it happened
The owner, Sir He, Sir Gao Bozhan and a few other old friends, hurriedly came out, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but go up angrily and shouted; "Guo San'er, who are you playing with there?"
"Uncle He, it's not my ......"
"Shut up, get out of the way, and disappear from my eyes now. It's not your turn to be brutal and disturb my guests. Sir He hurriedly walked over, trembling with anger when he looked at the scene.
But if you say a thousand, you can say 10,000, this Guo San'er is not his own child, let alone his subordinate, or he will slap him up.
Pursue it after the fact
It is also necessary to ask Guo San's father for the guilt, Changsheng Trading Company has been a partner of the Royal Chang'an Mint for many years, supplying some copper ingots, silver ingots and aluminum ingots and other materials from the Morunch mine, and has a mineral powder smelter under its umbrella, which is one of the long-term suppliers.
To be able to do such a business, the background is naturally extraordinary.
China has been a personal society for countless years, and the Tang Empire is no exception, some important economic fields are controlled by the royal family and top nobles, basically the royal family eats meat, and the nobles and ministers drink soup.
In the economic field, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.
The royal family is the largest mine owner in the empire, with more than 170 mines, large and small, basically monopolizing more than 6~7% of gold, silver, copper, iron and coal resources, and the remaining meat and bones are divided among hundreds of noble lords, and the benefits are generally distributed through the formation of a company through participation.
The ore powder output of only one Molunqi mine is enough for more than a dozen ore powder smelting plants to process and produce.
The Guo family is just one of them, a white glove pushed out by the company's shareholders.
In the past, there were more than a dozen courtiers who were not long-eyed, and now these fools were severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor for a reason, and all the family wealth was confiscated, and the whole family was thrown into the mine to serve hard labor!
Delusion blinds the Holy Hearing, and a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for his sins!
Such a set of rhetoric about Confucianism does not come out of the gate of the deep palace, and the emperor who does not step into the second door is okay, but he vainly tries to make the lake the current Tang Dynasty Holy Monarch, and creates a big opportunity for the nobles and ministers, who will die if they don't die?
Today, the Tang royal family has a huge wealth that rivals the country, and the royal family's exclusive royal guards are strong and strong, which is the unshakable cornerstone of the empire and the guarantee of the empire's long-term stability.
Even if the Royal Army all rebelled, it would be impossible to shake the absolute control of the Tang Imperial Family over the core area of the empire, which is the beauty of dualistic military power.
Back to the point
There are some quarrels, and Sir He doesn't want to make too much trouble, not because he is afraid that the Guo family will be powerful, but because more is better than less.
If you turn your face, it's really troublesome!
Sir Gao Zhanbo also followed, and he paid special attention to the tall young man standing beside several women. From beginning to end, he was as steady as Mount Tai, neither provoked, nor rushed to the first line to have a quarrel with Guo San'er.
It looks like he is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but his steady words are not like words, which makes him feel amazed in his heart, and he can't help but think a little higher.
He didn't know
How could a male lion care about the provocation of a small grasshopper? The progression difference is too much.
Richard did this for a reason, how could he, a dignified imperial supreme, quarrel with him?
Even if you say one more word, it is a self-surrendering identity. The thunder was furious, and all the people present tonight had their heads fall to the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
And this widow Fan Hongzhi is not a good bird, the stunned Qing Guo San'er jumped three feet high, and then she stood aside as if she was fine, just to weigh Richard's energy.
These careful thoughts are like palm prints in Richard's eyes, how can they be influenced by a woman?
As the emperor of the Tang Empire, do you still need to pretend to be slapped in the face?
Wouldn't that be too much of a fall?
Sir He retreated from Guo San'er, who was unwilling, turned to face Mr. Li Mingjian, who was being discussed by a few people just now, and said with a soothing expression; "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Li, please forgive me if there is anything abrupt. This person is the son and nephew of my old friend for many years, and I never thought that I would be so rude today, which is really embarrassing. ”
Sir He said seriously, and Mingjian never dared to bear it. It's just a little bit of a verbal argument. It was harmless in the first place, but it was a little thing that alarmed Sir Ho, which is really disturbing! ”
Richard's response was impervious, which made Sir Ho a bit of a rat pulling a turtle...... The feeling of having nowhere to start. So he nodded and said; "In that case, then it will be easy to do. Guo San'er disturbed the old man's dinner, and Boss Guo of the prosperous trading house will definitely give me an explanation. If Mr. Li has free time, he may wish to walk around more. ”
"Thank you, Sir Ho, that's my pleasure."
After a few pleasantries, a small storm ended.
Sir He did not take the initiative to comfort a few female guests, but beckoned everyone in the courtyard to continue playing, so as not to affect everyone's interest.
Although he is kind, the deep-rooted concept of male superiority and inferiority in his bones makes it impossible for Sir He to greet the family's private female teacher and a few celebrities, and completely ignores it.
These women are just dinner-party characters, no different from prostitutes and singers, so what can they count?
This is a huge difference between Eastern and Western cultures, Western gentlemen will protect ladies first, and Eastern gentlemen will take care of the feelings of male guests more.
Sir Liu Changda and Sir Gao Bozhan stood aside and watched coldly, and their self-asserted identities were not mixed into this trivial matter, nor did they summon Mr. Li Mingjian to ask questions, which is the steady practice of old-school gentlemen.
There are many opportunities, so why rush?
It is usually necessary to send someone to investigate Li Mingjian's background first, and after discovering that there is a value in courting and showing goodwill, he will give timely care and support, which is called not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.
Is it really idle to be these elders?
If there is no potential benefit that will make people excited, they will not be indiscriminately good.
There are more young people in the company, so what about talking extraordinary? What about the wind god Junyi? What about being talented?
These are not enough to impress a few elders, only the potential benefits that make people blush, such as the identity of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, classmates, old acquaintances, etc., can make them feel shocked and do their best to help.
Otherwise...... Hum...... Let's stay and go!
was given a cold reception, which made Fan Hongzhi look indignant.
This is a woman who is used to instigating and creating contradictions. shuttles between the staggered plans all day long, and likes to see men jealous and even fight for her, which gives her a great sense of satisfaction.
She walked over to Richard with an uneven face, as if she wanted to say something?
That's when a mutation suddenly happened
A house cat barked as if it had been stepped on by its tail, and meowed...... Woo ......" stepped on the table and flew up, pounced on Fan Hongzhiqiao's face and grabbed it twice, and immediately scratched the woman's face with flowers, and blood flowed.
The sound of screams, cries of pain, and the sound of chaotic movement mingled the dinner party completely.
Lilian helped the servant send away the shouting Fan Hongzhi, and when she turned around again, she could no longer see the tall and upright figure of Mr. Li Mingjian, and she couldn't help but feel deep regret.
She has a very good impression of this tall gentleman who talks well and is handsome, but unfortunately she did not exchange addresses, and can only look forward to meeting again next time.
By this time, Richard had already left briskly, walking on the street with the street lights.
No guesswork
The house cat suddenly broke out and scratched Fan Hongzhi's face, which was his wonderful handiwork, the purpose was not to have more quarrels with this vicious woman.
Today's businessman's banquet made Richard see many real things.
He looked at it from a very high angle, and the variety of pastries and dishes at the banquet was worth hundreds of dollars, which could show that the empire was well supplied. On the other hand, it can show that the wealthy merchant class is quite powerful, and there is no burden to hold a banquet for hundreds of people.
This reflects the real achievements of the empire's economic development, and the wealthy merchant class is the group that benefits from it, which is gratifying.
Next
It should be regulated by legal means of taxation, so that the achievements of the empire's economic development can benefit more people, and create a large middle class, which is what the royal family and this cabinet need to focus on.
Richard summed it up as "having a house", "worrying about food and clothing", "learning less", "providing for the elderly", "relying on illness (medical treatment)", and "abundant entertainment".
The specific performance is as follows;
"Housing ownership" reflects the most simple needs of the people, that is, to have a tile to cover their heads, which is also the most basic condition for the middle class to live a stable life.
It is necessary for the imperial government to vigorously develop the construction of cities and towns, the construction of public infrastructure such as roads and bridges, the continuous development and expansion of hardware, daily chemical products, building materials industry and construction industry, etc., so as to effectively feedback the economic achievements to the general public.
On the other hand, the continuous development of textile and garment industries, agriculture, animal husbandry and food industry have become stronger and bigger to meet the needs of the people, and the empire has done quite well in this regard, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"Learning less" means that the imperial government should always pay attention to the education of the whole people, deeply popularize the five-year compulsory education of the people, and comprehensively improve the quality of citizens through charitable education, public education, private education, religious education and other efforts, which will be a persistent long-term process.
The imperial government has successively introduced the "Inheritance Law" and the "Law on the Obligation of Support of Imperial Citizens" and other codes, which are intended to standardize and strengthen traditional ethics and morality, severely punish the illegal acts of abandoning the elderly and illegally supporting children, and safeguard the virtues of Chinese inheritance, and make specific provisions in the form of law.
"Illness dependence" is an important aspect of people's happiness, but limited to the backwardness of the current medical level, we can only rely on the widely accepted traditional Chinese medicine, supplemented by Western medicine, and gradually improve the social medical system.
It should be recognized
There is still a big gap between the current level of medical care and the scale of hospitals and the needs of the people, and the imperial government needs to introduce encouraging policies to support the development of medical science and technology progress, build more high-level hospitals, and train more doctors.
"Rich entertainment" is easy to understand, which is also the highlight of the social life of the Tang Empire, and the development is quite good.
Thanks to the convergence of Chinese and Western cultures, opera, storytelling, song and dance, music, art, sports and other aspects can be described as a hundred flowers, and the entertainment life of the society is rich, and there are many leisure projects to choose from.
This is some time
With the maturity of camera technology, the new category of photography has become more and more popular, and people with cameras can often be seen in city streets and gardens, and photo studios have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and quickly entered the public life.
