Whether it's Beijing or Nanjing, in both places, those in power are starting to plot something. However, it is not an easy task to cultivate the courage of these capitalists to fight against the old forces, whether it is to rectify the rule of officials or to plot to allow some of the current factory owners to engage in some confrontation with the old conservative forces. Without a certain plan and without real preparations, these two groups of people from the south and the north did not dare to launch at will.

However, despite this, if you are interested, you will still find that the atmosphere in these two places, especially in Beijing, is starting to become a little different. Kangxi, who had just celebrated his 50th anniversary on his ascension to the throne under the "mercy" of hundreds of officials, began to frequently summon some ministers, and the density of summons was rare in several years, making people feel that mountain rain was coming. However, for the time being, no one will pay attention to what Kangxi's father and son plan, Ma De and Luo Xin are the same, after discussing it for a while, they sent their plans to Dalian through sea channels and handed them over to Old Man Fei.

………………

"It's kind of interesting. Ma De's concerns are indeed very reasonable, Fei Lao, what do you think? "It's not just Old Man Fei who is in Dalian. Mo Jing is also handling her own affairs in Manchuria.

You must know that the five of them originally "made their fortunes" in Manchuria, and although they have been developing abroad for many years, she still has a lot of industrial and commercial channels here. However, she did not come this time to develop any industry here, but to end most of the business here. The reason for her doing this is also very simple, because, with the development of these years, not only has the population of Manchuria increased, but also the commercial activities that originally consisted of simple trade such as "medicine" herbs and pearl diving have gradually become diverse.

Just like the trade in aquatic products of Lake Baikal that she had mastered, because of the development of the Manchurian sea route in recent years, especially the exploration of the northern sea, there are many competitors, especially many merchants have also opened the trade route between Lake Baikal and the interior of the Kanko, making it difficult for her to stand alone. Therefore, she has long had the intention of giving up these businesses. It's just that the affairs of the gate have been too busy, and they have to run to Yu Zhong, so it has been delayed until now.

"yes. I can't believe that we have ignored this. Just thinking about fooling Kangxi's gang, but forgetting that these things we got still lack a foundation, and it is difficult to confront the huge conservative forces. Ma De and Xinxin were right...... "Old man Fei is over seventy years old at this time, and his beard and hair are all white, but he is still healthy and in good spirits. This is thanks to these two years of cultivating the mind and cultivating the "sex" and reasonable recuperation. People are old. But Old Man Fei really wanted to see what the results of these things they did. Although it may take a long time, he still hopes to wait for Kangxi's sixty years. For this reason, although he still manages many things, he is no longer as busy as he used to be.

Coupled with proper exercise, at first glance, his face is full of red light, and he is only in his early sixties.

"Mader and his wife want you to give them an idea. Fei Lao, I'm afraid you're going to have to work for a while. Mo Jing smiled again.

"Hehe, what's there to worry about? This kind of thing. Do you need to spend a lot of brains? Old man Fei laughed twice. "Go and give them a message. This kind of thing can't be made big all at once. Slow down! Start with a small fight, especially not to let the contradiction become too acute. In this way, the accumulation of small victories into big victories will allow the people to gradually adapt to and accept our theories. After two years, people are almost used to it, and a few more ruthless moves will be made in that way to achieve the maximum results. ”

"Two more years? Fei Lao, isn't this a little too slow? After listening to Old Man Fei's words, Mo Jing nodded first, but after thinking about it, she asked again.

"Slow? Hehe. That's fast enough. Speaking of which, this is because Ma De has done a lot of things in the south over the years, and has slightly changed some of the people's thinking and attitude towards new things, otherwise, I am afraid that this time will have to be put on for a longer time. Old man Fei chuckled twice more and said.

"But the steam engine has already begun to be used, and Marder and the others have said in their letters, this thing is no better than the machinery that has been studied before. This thing is a real industrial machine. If the trial in Jiangnan is successful, with the shrewdness of those businessmen in Jiangnan. It will definitely not be able to withstand the large-scale use of temptation. In that case, it will certainly increase the degree of antagonism between those conservative forces and them. Once the contradictions become acute, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to settle down. If we slow down, I'm afraid those merchants won't be able to stand it. At that time, if Ma De and the others are forced to come forward, it will lose the original intention of training those capitalists......" Mo Jing said with a slight frown.

"If you can't stand it, you won't top it." Old Man Fei looked at Mo Jing and shook his head with a smile, "Mo Jing, have you been a little too tired lately?" Why can't some minds keep up? …… Listen to my old man's words, don't work too hard in everything. There is still land at this time! ”

"Thank you Fei Lao for your concern. I'm fine. ......" Mo Jing looked at Old Man Fei and smiled, and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Old Fei, what did you think of?" I know that you are an old man and a treacherous person, and your thinking is better than that of us juniors, and that is how it should be. It's not that there's anything wrong with me. ”

"You girl, are you praising me or hurting me?" Old man Fei shook his head with a smile, of course he didn't take Mo Jing's ridicule seriously, he just stretched out his finger and nodded twice, and said, "The reason why I just said that if I can't stand it, I won't top it, because I have the certainty of winning." Mo Jing, have you forgotten? What is the biggest weapon that has always been able to survive for those of us? ”

"Sharp weapons? ......" Mo Jing was a little fooled by Old Man Fei, when did they have any sharp weapons? It seems to be a metaphor, but why can't you think of it for a while?

"Looks like you're not in good shape today, girl!" Old Man Fei shook his head with a smile again, and said with some sighs: "Running south and north all day long, running east and west." Among the five of us, you are the farthest and most tired with Yu Zhong. You, in particular, have hardly stopped all these years.

It's really hard for you! ”

"Fei Lao, why are you so sentimental today? Haven't I always been like this? Mo Jing saw that Old Man Fei suddenly sighed, and her eyes were slightly red, but she still quickly controlled herself, "Since I started doing business, I haven't lived there for a long time, and I've long formed a habit." If you have to let me stay there, you're going to hurt me. What's more, it is much more stable now than before. Business competition is also nowhere near as fierce as it used to be. I'm actually pretty relaxed. ”

"Hehe, I know you're not afraid of hardship! But ......" Old Man Fei looked at Mo Jing with a little solemnity, "Bitterness is bitterness." In the future, let go if you can, don't be too tired yourself. ”

"I know, Fei Lao, you don't have to worry." Mo Jing quickly adjusted her emotions, she knew that Old Man Fei cared about herself, in fact, how could other people not be like this? Even her godsister Bao Ri Longmei, who is now in the Forbidden City in Beijing, cares about her very much. Every time we meet, we should persuade her to run less, rest more, and don't get tired. It's just that her "sexual" personality is like that. There's nothing to do, and her hands are itchy.

"Hehe, it's good to know." When Old Man Fei saw Mo Jing say this, he knew that his persuasion would not have much effect. However, Mo Jing was originally born as a strong woman, and she originally belonged to the type of workaholic. Although it has been much better after all these years of transformation, but. The country is easy to change. This "nature" is difficult to change, and it is still difficult to make her fundamentally change. The reason why he said this was actually because he was too tired to see Mo Jing running around in the past two years. Just let her rest more.

"By the way, Fei Lao, you haven't said what our sharp weapon is?" Seeing that Old Man Fei no longer persuaded himself, Mo Jing smiled and asked again.

"What else could there be? …… The bustling 1 of the world is for profit, and the bustling 1 of the world is for profit. Isn't our biggest weapon just 'interests, two words?' Old man Fei said with a smile.

"......" Mo Yan was dumbfounded, with a wry smile. I didn't think the answer was so simple. It seems that Old Man Fei is right, his state today is indeed a little bad.

"Although the three provinces south of the Yangtze River are the richest places in the Qing Dynasty. However, the burden of the common people there is many times heavier than that of the people in other places, and there are many people who live in poverty.

It's still the same old saying: 'Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle!' If there really is a big conflict. As long as those merchant capitalists can give up their immediate petty profits and turn to such a trick, I believe that it will not take much effort for the opposing conservative forces to be planted in their own hands. After all, that kind of "moral article," "ancestral family law," and the like can't be eaten. What the people want is affordability. When there is a shortage of food, whoever gives them food will win; When there is a shortage of clothes, whoever can give them clothes will be the victor. So. As long as you firmly grasp the 'interest' at this point, there is nothing to worry about. …… As for how these methods are implemented, I think that after so many years in the local area, there are many more ways than an old man like me, right? Old man Fei continued to explain.

"Not bad. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Hehe, I don't know what the expressions of those who only know the Four Books and the Five Classics, and think that they are superior to others, will be when they are 'endorsed' by them, and the common people will turn aside. Mo Jing smiled, she really couldn't imagine that one day, the mercenary capitalists might also be hooked up with the "people's heart".

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Those conservatives speak for nothing more than themselves. But ,......" Old Man Fei also laughed: "If Ma De they succeed." When the time comes, it will certainly be very exciting. ”

"yes, I can't wait to see what that day holds.

Mo Jing smiled slightly. Of course, she knew that the vast majority of the capitalists who opened factories were mercenary. In the eyes of those people, money is the most important thing. And, in the eyes of those people, the workers are tools that can be exploited at will. However, in this country where there is no clause of "the sanctity of personal property", and in which traditional morality prevails, most of those capitalists are not as black-hearted as the capitalists of the same period in the West. Especially in Jiangnan, Ma De's forced clause of "20% of the income for public welfare" has already opened up another path for those capitalists, a road that seeks wealth but is also respected by the people. Although donating part of the proceeds is not something that many capitalists are willing to do. However, since this road has been opened, I am not afraid that they will not go down. Especially in the case today. As long as Ma De ignited the war between the conservative forces and the capitalist forces in Jiangnan, those capitalists had to buy people's hearts for their own safety and for their own long-term interests. And buying people's hearts, especially buying the hearts of the majority, is obviously the best way to do public welfare. And as long as this situation continues for a while, those capitalists will get the sweetness. You know, in this era, just having money doesn't mean how powerful you are, respect, especially the respect of the common people, is out of reach for many people, and this is the "name" that countless readers diligently pursue. And if we can get this kind of respect and get this "name", I believe that those capitalists will definitely be willing to pay a lot of things, after all, although they seek profits, these capitalists are still influenced by traditional morality and Confucianism. What's more, this "name" is a kind of "profit".

"That day will not be far away. I believe that in two or three years at most, we will be able to see the results. Hehe......" Old Man Fei laughed again.

"Two or three years......" Mo Jing nodded slightly, Old Man Fei estimated that the time for 'touching' should be about the same.

"Alright. I see you're tired today, so let's get some rest. Otherwise, that kid in Yu Zhong will come to me again to blame my old man for not taking good care of you. Old man Fei looked at Mo Jing again and said with a smile.

"He dares!" Hearing Old Man Fei mention Yu Zhong again, Mo Jing smiled slightly. The kid? I'm afraid that now only Old Man Fei dares to call her husband "kid". No matter what, Yu Zhong is now also a great general, expanding the territory, and in terms of merits, in fact, even those people in Feiyanggu are not compared.

"Hehe, I know that kid doesn't dare." Old man Fei smiled. The distance between Mo Jing and Yu Zhong is almost two poles, and it is an outlier to be able to combine together, and it can maintain the relationship between husband and wife for twenty years, and it is still so harmonious, it is even more of an outlier in an outlier. I have to admit that this is "fate".

"Then I'll go and rest, don't be too tired, Fei Lao." Mo Jing was not embarrassed by Old Man Fei's teasing, she was no longer a young person, so she naturally had the ability to bear love.

"Hehe, don't let my old man get tired...... It's a bit hard. Old man Fei listened to Mo Jing's words, smiled and shook his head, "That Fengtian Governor Ma Wu has come to me every day these days, and he is probably coming soon." I'll have to send him away. Otherwise, it won't be quiet. ”
