15 beauties
"How is it! I haven't seen you for three years. He looks much more handsome now!
Back then I was still begging for food on the streets, but now I have tens of thousands of dollars!" Zhu Wencong said with a smile.
"Hehe! Brother, don't talk about begging, you have always been self-reliant." Su Yanqing covered her small mouth.
Zhu Wencong poured a cup of coffee for Su Yanqing: "All the authentic Zhu family members have begged for food. If you don't beg for food, you are not a Zhu family member.
Why are you working so hard! In fact, the outside world is not as beautiful as I described, and the reality is often the cruelest.
Are you a little disappointed when you come here? It's full of lies, deceit, and barbarism.
To be honest, I was deceived and worked for others for a few years before I regained my status."
Su Yanting held the coffee cup in both hands. America is indeed not as beautiful as imagined. The world outside is not as good as home.
As a believer in Confucianism, it is easy to see the gap between the United States and the East. A land of foreigners is ultimately a land of barbarians.
They have no etiquette, justice, integrity, filial piety, loyalty and trust. All they have is the word "interest".
They put their own interests above anything else, never care about the life and death of others, and discriminate against foreigners.
"Every bustle in the world is for benefit; everything in the world is for benefit.
The "Preface to the Biographies of Huo Shi" written by Tai Shigong is absolutely correct and depicts the true face of the American people.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace. The etiquette comes from existence but disappears from non-existence. Therefore, a gentleman is rich and he likes to practice his virtue; a villain is rich to suit his ability.
This is the etiquette of Western and American aristocrats, man! You will only pay attention to etiquette when you are rich, and it will not exist if you return to poverty.
Originally I loved Western learning, but after seeing it, I fell in love with the works of my ancestors.
Although they cannot see the current world, their ability to gain a high position can deeply analyze the current world." Su Yanqing said softly.
Zhu Wenchong suddenly felt a little itchy in his head. The ancient scholars were really talented at learning bad things, and they could speak allusions with open mouths.
For example, those traitors like Hu Zhongshun are too easy to get along with. They are uneducated and only pay attention to Guan Gong's loyalty!
If you don’t come here with a 21st century mind, communicating with ancient scholars is a fool’s errand.
"I still like the last sentence: The king of thousands of chariots, the prince of thousands of families, and the king of hundreds of houses are still suffering from poverty, how much more so than the people who live in households!
Emperors, princes, and scholar-bureaucrats are all afraid of poverty, let alone ordinary people. But in the East, everyone keeps silent about money or sex.
Confucianism is so distorted that it must no longer be a Confucian school, but a school of controlling the people.
So I think there is nothing wrong with the American model. Only when people are wealthy and have enough food and clothing can they understand shame and etiquette.
A man who is full does not understand a man who is hungry. In a desperate situation of hunger and cold, people will do anything.
The reason why you reject it is that your thoughts are bound by Confucianism. We must have our own subjectivity and see the world clearly." Zhu Wenchong emphasized.
Su Yanting was silent: "I'm superficial!"
Zhu Wencong patted Su Yanting on the shoulder. It is normal for scholars to be arrogant and arrogant. There is hardly another thousand-year-old civilization in the world.
Even though they lost the Opium War twice, Eastern scholars still refused to admit defeat or bow their heads.
"You may not have read "Hai Guo Tu Zhi". There is a very classic sentence in it: Why was this book written? It said: It was written to use the barbarians to attack the barbarians, to use the barbarians to compensate the barbarians, and to learn from the barbarians to improve their skills.
Made by barbarians.
Our self-proclaimed advantages will kill us. Now we have completely fallen behind those foreigners and can no longer have the dream of a kingdom from heaven and a kingdom from all nations!
Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. In fact, Confucius made it very clear, but later generations have been distorting it.
If I have time that day, I will take you to Washington to see their Supreme Court. There is a statue of our Confucius there." Zhu Wenchong knows that the United States has a strong learning ability.
At first, the United States copied England's system intact. Later, the useful ones were kept and the useless ones were deleted.
The Japanese were also very smart. They directly copied the American system. The system of the world's largest power is the answer.
In the early days of the Republic of China, there were two factions, one was the conservatives, and the other was the reformers who advocated copying the American system.
Why did the reformists lose in the end? Because they almost forgot that they were from this country, not even human beings, so how could they possibly do adult things?
Whether it is the United States or Japan, they will introduce advanced systems and improve them to become systems suitable for their own society.
"It seems that I haven't learned enough!" Su Yanqing found that Zhu Wenchong's knowledge was getting wider and wider.
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. You have just taken the first step!
By the way, how did you come here? Did your father allow it?" Zhu Wenchong was very curious.
"I am a concubine, so naturally I have to serve the family. How can my direct descendants do such hard work overseas?
Originally, my father had a translator, but he collaborated with outsiders to deceive my father, and I overheard and found out..." Su Yanqing smiled brightly.
Zhu Wencong nodded. Scammers are everywhere these days. It's normal to eat two or three.
Children from big families are all pampered, and women like Su Yanqing who are not afraid of hardship are too rare.
"Brother, are you really here because of gold mining?" Su Yanting has always disagreed with this statement.
"In the ninth year of Xianfeng's reign (1859), England established a recruitment office in Guangzhou to specifically transport Chinese workers overseas.
The earliest slave trade was called the Black Triangle, and here we call it the 'piggy trade'. I heard that more than 600,000 'piglets' were sold.
In the 10th year of Xianfeng's reign, the British and French invaded the capital. The "Beijing Treaty" stipulated that in the future, any Chinese people who undertake work in various parts of England or overseas will be allowed to enter into treaties with the British people.
From now on, their sales will be reasonable and legal, and the local government has no right to interfere, so I was sold here and I will never be able to go back!" Zhu Wenchong shrugged.
Su Yanting doesn't know these things. It seems that reading more is not enough. She must also read more newspapers.
Just talk about why overseas recruitment is becoming more and more popular, but the elders of the family keep silent about it and warn the younger ones not to go.
"Brother, why do you keep talking about your scandals..." Su Yanqing found that Zhu Wencong didn't care at all.
"Some things you keep in your heart are just a way to find fault. It's better to speak them out and release all the pressure.
In fact, I am very lucky to be here. It is a vast world and there is a lot to do!" Zhu Wencong is very excited. It is the golden age of the United States. There is no difference between making money and picking up money.
"Brother, don't you want to go back?" Su Yanting also wants to take Zhu Wencong back.
Zhu Wencong shook his head. His hometown was already in a sad place. If he stayed there, he could only recite "I am scared on the beach and say I am scared, and I am alone in the ocean and sigh for being alone."
Seeing Zhu Wencong's firm eyes, Su Yanting couldn't help but grit her teeth. It takes great courage to stay in the United States.
It is extremely difficult to get ahead in an unfamiliar place, especially if your skin color is different.
"Then I'll accompany you!" Su Yanqing made up her mind, and she didn't want to go back.
"Are you afraid that you'll have to take care of your husband and raise your children when you go back?" Zhu Wencong could guess that Su Yanqing's coming here was probably the result of a compromise.
"It's okay! I have already covered San Francisco with half my hand. After finishing this vote in my hand, I can cover the sky with one hand!" Zhu Wencong is short of an assistant, and is surrounded by a bunch of bastards, so he can only do menial work.
