"Diplomacy? You seem to have said that diplomacy is a-stirring stick. ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Of course, if you look at the British Empire, under the offshore balance policy, as long as you leave a piece of land, you can make that land fall apart, and the civil war is endless, it is simply a god among gods, how can I not admire it?" ”

Zhao Jiaren thought for a while and said: "Europeans, no matter how you say it, they are the same kind of text, and it is not easy to fool." ”

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "Of course, so what I used was Yangmou, but in fact, it's nothing, well, by the way, wife, what do you think, how about sending a delegation to Europe?" ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "It won't be that you want to go, I have the impression that you men are very interested in the so-called aristocratic women in Europe, even if they have a serious problem with fox odor because of their diet, hum." ”

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "Of course not, we don't participate in the whole process, it's just these ancients in the new time and space, all kinds of talents are looking for some, elites from all over the world, old-style aristocrats, stubborn fools, of course, people are vigorous and upward in the era, a group of silk past, just like Shenyang in the 21st century, with the tattered Jurchens wearing braids, entertaining the Yuan of Merkel's level industrial country, people were ignorant for a while and rolled their eyes, and thought they had arrived in some backward reserved area." ”

Zhao Jiaren thought for a while and said, "Why don't you send your chick out, how about it, you can definitely catch a few cute princesses for you to soak." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled slightly and said: "I haven't considered this, but do you remember the national image building project of the Southern Bang Country?" ”

Zhao Jiaren nodded and said, "You mean?" ”

Li Xiangqian said: "We have indeed obtained a lot of video materials and civilization achievements of later generations, you know, just like the American imperialism of later generations, using the two weapons of cooking and green religion to block the ability of backward countries to catch up, although separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but it is actually a good choice to use some things to camouflage and let Europeans have some misunderstandings about us." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "It's like watching a Korean idol drama, and I think that Nanbangguo is really the virtue in the TV series." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a satellite country of the United States, or a satellite country with a deformed society and a false appearance." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Then you said it was your plan." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "First, it's too ugly to go, right, of course, I have doubts about the aesthetics of Europeans in this era, maybe, our handsome guys are in them, they are the best ugly men, of course, it's not impossible for our ugly guys to go over there to be handsome guys, it's impossible to be too pedantic, basically they are all mixed and waiting to die, at the same time, it's best to be proficient in a European language, and also take out an art, in my opinion, whether it's painting or music, My Great Celestial Empire can still fight with Europe in this era, and the movie projector should not be brought, and at the same time, the Millennium Falcon should not appear in public, or add a bar in the middle, so this candidate is very important. ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Europe is now basically divided into two parts, Protestant and Catholic, which side do you choose?" ”

Li Xiangqian looked at Bian Yujing, who was holding the microphone in the distance, and had completely adapted to the microphone, and said: "Of course, both sides have been chosen, of course, there must be some skills in operation, but in my heart, the Catholic way of doing things is wrong, and the Protestant one is quite interesting." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "You are enough to be inflammatory." ”

"No, but you have to sum up, Protestantism is indeed a bit advanced, and it brings more liberation to people than Catholicism, and of course, Protestant ethics and capitalism are simply masterpieces, Britain, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Northern Europe, Australia and New Zealand, you see, Protestantism is really scary, isn't it."

"But on the Catholic side, it seems that it is also powerful now, not to mention the strength of the Holy See, South America is the land of the people, and there are countless colonies or something, although Catholicism has declined in later generations, but it is true, it is still stronger than Protestantism, but unfortunately, the territory occupied by Catholicism, without coal, can not develop industry."

Li waved his hand forward and said: "So I'm more distressed, if Sun Chengzong is still alive, and their group of religious Confucian students are still alive, there is no need to worry, of course, the real question is, who to send." ”

"Are the elders really not participating?"

Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "I plan to let the brothers build a big ship, if they work overtime to build it, start the project research now, start construction within one or two months, complete the main project in two or three months, and after the run-in is completed, after the New Year next year, they will set sail to Europe, there is such a ship, which can not only carry enough things, but also ensure safety, so that these scholars can see and understand, the civilization of Europeans, I don't expect them to notice, Europeans are already a group that is difficult to suppress, at least keep a sense of vigilance." ”

"Shipbuilding?"

"Yes, although in our time, the shipping industry was basically destroyed by air transportation and interstellar shipping, but all kinds of special purposes or something, sea ships still have very suitable uses, at least, for everyone, it is not difficult to build a sea ship."

"But we can teach them to use turbines, oh no, even then, there is no oil to use in Europe."

Zhao Jiaren thought for a moment and said, "I understand, the boat you are talking about is a wooden boat!" ”

Li Xiangqian nodded proudly and said: "That's right, the wooden ship is also advanced, the Sea King is only a little bit of size, I dare to say that I am the biggest, hehe, I have asked from beginning to end, Xu Hao has long been collecting wood, plus a dryer, and all kinds of paints, the raw materials for building such a ship are basically complete." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "What about that person, it's not okay if the people are not together, a ship, even if it is an old-style sea ship, it is estimated that the time to run in with them may be longer, more, such as aircraft carriers, it can't be done if you can't form combat effectiveness in a year or two, it's very difficult." ”

Li Xiangqian smiled and said, "Don't you want to say it until now, don't you already know that the Zheng family from Fujian has come to work, and they are just the right labor force to send to the door." ”

Zhao Jiaren's face changed, and she said, "It seems that you have really seen that chick, and you have hooked up." ”

Li Xiangqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I just heard that when you asked about the Zheng family's information, I naturally thought that as long as the Zheng family is not brain-dead, it should also send people to Beijing." ”

"What are you going to do, give the ship directly to the Zheng family, I'm not afraid that they will kill all those scholars directly, and then say that they met pirates and took the ship for themselves, the sea is so big, I see where you go to cry, don't say they can't do it, the Zheng family, at least for now, has not completed the process of transforming from pirates to the system, and is still a complete pirate."

"It's nothing, it's nothing more than the relationship between money and life, although Zheng Zhilong can't be on the table, he is also a businessman, and he can be ensnared and killed by the Jurchens in the end, which shows that this person is not so willing to leave the Celestial Empire directly, and as long as he stays in the Celestial Empire, I want to find him out, and then deal with him like Fan Yongdou, isn't it very simple, of course, this kind of thing can't be done often, if we do too much, the people have more doubts about us, and it is not good to have confrontational emotions."

"Let's discuss slowly, our level is too high for them, find someone to scare and scare, and see where their bottom line is."

Li Xiangqian walked slowly on the side of the road, coming out of the Taihe Palace, everyone ate very happily, and there were a few palace maids with spring in their eyes, who seemed to be watching others achieve positive results, and they were also itchy, but he was a person with perfect self-control, so he naturally avoided it slowly.

Seeing the two of them sitting by the pool in the imperial garden from a distance, no one could disturb them, Li Xiangqian walked over slowly and said, "What are the principles of life thinking here, or are you homesick?" ”

Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan hurriedly said, "I've seen the elders." ”

Li Xiangjun was a little surprised, for her, these future people brought her too much information, even more shocking than the information that she herself would die early, although she had already calmed down, but seeing Li Xiangqian, a future person who knew that she had seen through the truth, would still be uneasy.

Dong Xiaowan didn't know about these situations at all, so she just said: "I don't dare to be homesick, but seeing so many sisters become a positive result, it is inevitable that I will not think of myself." ”

Li Qianqian nodded and said, "As I said, the brothers here are all powerful figures in the future, and the colonial governors and ministers have everything to do, you can pursue them." ”

Dong Xiaowan bowed her head shyly and said, "Usually the elders are so busy, but they don't have time. ”

Li Xiangqian naturally understood what she meant, her companions were all bastards who didn't understand the amorous feelings, and what she liked most was actually a trick that was directly unreasonable and directly pushed down, never paying attention to any mood, and it was basically impossible to be the same as Dong Xiaowan's pursuit of the spiritual world.

"Then let's have a cold salad, the devil knows where the gears of fate will take you to enjoy happiness, maybe one day, a better fate will also be given to you, not to mention anything else, have you gone to see your house."

Dong Xiaowan nodded, she didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful two-story building, although it is not a chic and elegant Jiangnan villa, but it is also a very good residence, but she didn't expect that in order to appease or retain this top singer, the elders' meeting is really bloody, the two-story small building in the Xishan villa area, although it is next to each other compared with the small building with a small courtyard that the elders dreamed of, it is definitely the best choice for wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials.

Now, the idea of housing, do not have to learn from the future generations so crowded, directly get people to the colony, the future family to cultivate hundreds of acres of land is also very common, therefore, the building management security, apartment building management of the middle floor, villas to make money model is established, after all, for the presbyterian church, the house is a big killer that ties people's hearts, you give you a two-story villa in Xishan, are you willing to betray the presbytery.

Dong Xiaowan said: "But the furniture is not configured now, it seems to be ...... The furniture used by the elders is also different from ours. ”

Li Xiangxiang and Li Xiangqian glanced at each other, knowing that this was also one of their flaws, but it didn't seem to be in the way, so they said: "Take your time, we can't go directly, even the furniture is also rounded up, fortunately, there are many craftsmen in the north, and the carpenter work is naturally good, in the last half a year, or a year, because there are many moves, even with many marriages, there are more furniture, so it is difficult to find a good carpenter, just wait." ”

"Okay...... Dong Xiaowan looked at the man, and suddenly asked: "Elder, that house is indeed very good, but if you live there like that in the future, and live there for the rest of your life, is it a happy life?" ”

Li Xiangqian listened to it and replied: "Happiness, happiness, this statement is really chicken soup, well, I can't answer you, because my life is almost not happy." ”

Dong Xiaowan suddenly covered her mouth and said, "You are an omnipotent immortal from heaven to earth, is there anything you can't do." ”

Li Xiangqian suddenly thought of an allusion and said: "For example, I can't do it, find a stone that I can't lift." ”

This is a bit detouring, Dong Xiaowan thought for a while, then nodded, understood what he meant, and continued to listen to him: "Happiness, I really don't know what happiness is, I haven't tried that kind of life, but I know what unhappiness is, and then deduce that people in any kind of life are happier than him and happier than him." ”

Dong Xiaowan said: "Elder, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

"Of course I don't believe it," Li Xiangqian shook his head and said: "The so-called religion is just a trick played by liars and rulers, liars use religion to fool the people at the bottom, don't believe Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, respect those great benevolent people who have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in their previous lives, and those mediocre rulers, after gaining a stable position, also return the favor, so that these religions can survive better, and give some management rights and money to religious liars in the bottom society, and it will be stable." ”

Dong Xiaowan was terrified for a while and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"For example, the Ming Dynasty is a very bad regime, what is the difference? Once upon a time, there was a very gentle and lovely girl named Dong Xiaowan, who had a very good shop at home, and could have lived a very rich Bai Fumei life, studying in an Ivy League school and driving a BMW...... Well, when I didn't say it, but, in the Ming Dynasty, she went bankrupt directly? Why? The grassroots governance of the Ming Dynasty has basically become empty talk, and of course it has fulfilled the lumpenproletarians at the bottom, so if Xiao Wan asks me, I will answer, and I will give you a happier world than in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Xiangqian secretly said in his heart: Of course, it is impossible to be happier than the 21st century.

In fact, any world is like this, a little bit of progress, even if it is not smooth in the middle of the 21st century, no one will really want to go back to ancient times, let alone go back to the early 21st century to play.

Of course, happiness is a very subjective thing, some people are full of love and water, and they feel happy when they live an ordinary life with their lover, but some people will never be satisfied and will never care.
