Chapter 424: Miss Mary (Part II)
Wang Guorui put his arm around Miss Mary's waist and danced to the music. And Miss Mary played the role of Wang Guorui's dance teacher very well, guiding Wang Guorui to dance step by step. And Wang Guorui hugged Miss Mary's slender waist, and then felt the smoothness of the skin on her palm, which was obviously very gentle. And the two were dancing and talking at the same time, obviously very fond of each other.
"Governor Wang, you are really a hero! To be able to take the initiative to stand up against the country's cession of land, protect the land, and defeat the invaders when their own country wants to cede land, this is a real hero! Miss Mary said.
Wang Guorui immediately asked, "Oh? Do you think so too? ”
"Well, to be able to do this at such a young age is definitely a big hero. It's a pity that you already have a wife, otherwise I would have considered being your wife. Miss Mary said.
And Wang Guorui didn't expect that he would capture the heart of a beautiful girl so inexplicably. However, he is currently at war with the Dutch, and he is about to end this war, and it is impossible for him to return Nanyang to the Dutch. Because he must need the resources of the Netherlands, the resources of the Netherlands are so big, and the resources of a colony are extremely rich in the future generations, so Wang Guorui has no reason to give up. And Wang Guorui almost doubted that this woman would be a beauty trick sent by the Dutch, making people eat the softest?
"Miss, could you not have been sent by the Dutch government to attract me and ask me to make concessions in the following negotiations?" Wang Guorui asked half-jokingly.
But Miss Mary was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How can I be sent by the Dutch government, even if the Dutch government wants to send someone to do such a thing, it is absolutely impossible to send me here, they will not have the courage to send me here, and they are not qualified to order me." I just admire you. Don't worry! Originally, I still wanted our Dutch army to capture you back, I wanted to see how capable you are, and then you can become a hero who defends your country at such a young age? But I didn't expect that you would defeat our country's army, which surprised me so much. ”
"Then Miss Mary, don't you resent me?" Wang Guorui asked.
Mary shook her head and said, "Anyway, it's a matter of this country." I can't get my hands on it, and it's not interesting to be put in a vase every day. Although others respect you on the surface, they don't actually take you too seriously, so I don't mean anything. Anyway, as long as the Netherlands does not die, I can also rely on my status to eat a mouthful, starve and live a rich life, and I don't have to worry so much. Anyway, as a small country like the Netherlands, we are also slaughtered nationally. I know that too. With the national strength of the Netherlands, sooner or later we will not be able to keep this East Indies colony in the East. It's better to give it to you than to someone else. ”
Wang Guorui was speechless, this girl's thinking is really strange enough, she actually thinks that the colony can be given to herself? However, Wang Guorui also knows the distress of this Western aristocracy, although it seems that the aristocracy can still rule the Western upper class, but the days of the Western aristocracy are Wang Xiaoer's New Year - a year is not as good as a year. With the rise of the capitalist class, those aristocrats were able to barely rely on the accumulation of the past to gain status. However, this kind of aristocracy will control the affairs of the state less and less. In the future, it will be more people who are supported by the power of capital, rather than aristocrats who will be in power.
The power of those kings of the Western world has shrunk. The royal families of many countries have also fallen into a situation where they have no power to use. Although they are watched as targets every day, they don't actually have much respect, and the kings and nobles are at most receiving a luxurious annuity in the country, and they can't really hold much power. If the king is like this, then the nobles should be about the same. The path of nobility is getting narrower and narrower, so this Miss Mary may be from a high aristocratic background. But in fact, there are not many rights to use, which may be the reason for her depression.
Anyway, those Dutch colonies have nothing to do with her, and even if there are colonies, it is not her turn to manage them. As long as their living expenses and annuity can always allow them to live a luxurious life, it can also make them nobles live a good life. As for what national events. These nobles are also becoming less and less concerned.
In later generations, Wang Guorui once saw the thinking of a Western aristocracy, and many people subconsciously compared the aristocratic titles of the Western aristocracy with those noble titles in China, thinking that these titles are also equal. But in fact, it is very wrong, the status of those Western nobles is not just a noble, but they are more similar to those big families in China back then. There is a saying in the family that there is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there is a thousand-year-old family. Although the history of the existence of the family was not a thousand years, it is enough to show that the family of the year will not easily change with the change of dynasty. Even if the dynasty changes, the family is still the family, although it has a certain impact on the family, it will not hurt the muscles and bones.
And the aristocracy of the West is the same, a country changes a family with a surname to be the leader of the country, but for those nobles it does not have much impact, they will not easily decline with the loss of a family's right to rule. The Chinese nobles are different, China's nobles pay attention to sharing weal and woe with the country, in fact, it is a family tied together, once the family loses the right to rule, it will inevitably lose the power to be a nobleman. So this Miss Mary didn't have much other feeling about the loss of the colony of the Dutch country. On the one hand, it was because she couldn't grasp the rights that the nobles should have back then, and the power of these nobles was not as good as year by year. On the other hand, it may also be the inherent thinking of the aristocracy, that is, even if the families of the country and dynasty lose the right to rule, they are just ruling by another person, which has little impact on their aristocratic status. Therefore, this Miss Mary obviously doesn't care too much about Wang Guorui taking away the colony, anyway, she has a bit of generosity towards others.
"Miss Mary is really very open-minded, which makes me feel admired." Wang Guorui laughed.
And Mary immediately asked, "Governor Wang, are you a nobleman?" Even if you weren't a nobleman before, and you have made such a great contribution, won't your emperor canonize you as a nobleman? ”
"Hahahaha, noble? The aristocracy is useless in our East, what is really useful is strength. Since Chen Sheng said that the prince and the prince Xiangning had this kind of arrogance, there is no real aristocrat in our China. Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui explained to Miss Mary the difference between the so-called nobles in China and the aristocracy in the West, and then talked about the imperial examination system that allows the country to select outstanding talents to run the country, rather than relying on those decaying nobles to manage the country, so as to maintain the vitality of the country as much as possible. The imperial examination system ensures that the capable are superior and the mediocre are lower, no one can safely rely on the identity and bloodline to obtain status, everything is to look at their own hard work, if you neglect the exercise of your ability, then in the end you will be surpassed by people whose identity is not as good as your own.
"Oh? It turns out that China's aristocracy disappeared long after the invention of the imperial examination system? And how can the people of China have such a spirit of challenge, dare to challenge the decaying aristocracy, and then establish a new order? Miss Mary asked.
Wang Guorui said very directly: "Yes, it is precisely because our Chinese nation is full of the spirit of challenge, so whenever a dynasty decays, there will always be countless people who rise up to challenge this old order, and then finally a superhero will lead the people to establish a new order, maintain the good reform of our China and maintain the spirit of the nation, and then you can enjoy hundreds of years of peaceful life." And this ensures that a country does not die out in silence, so that a nation can continue to improve itself. It's like an earthquake, if you can break out a small earthquake every once in a while, you can prevent the world from dying out in one of the largest earthquakes. This means that the internal pressure of the country and the people can burst out through some means at the appropriate time, and then the decay of the nation can be alleviated. If it can't erupt, sooner or later it will be a completely devastating 'earthquake' that will cause the country and the nation to die out completely. Although this process seems very cruel, it continues our nation. ”
"Governor Wang, do you think you are a hero who can lead the people to establish a new order when the country and the nation are in peril?" Miss Mary asked.
Wang Guorui said very shamelessly: "In China, who else is me? ”
"Well, I like heroes the most!" Miss Mary suddenly threw herself into Wang Guorui's arms, and Wang Guorui felt a foreign girl fall into his arms, obviously very surprised.
A foreign "big Yanma" actually admires you here, which obviously makes Wang Guorui's vanity very satisfied. And Wang Guorui's "little brother" immediately began to raise the flag and salute.
Wang Guorui didn't care who the person in front of him was, he immediately hugged Mary, and Miss Mary immediately said, "Don't be here, go to the private room." ”
Wang Guorui didn't know what was going on, so he immediately took Mary to the private room. (To be continued......)
