31 street market
"Actually, there is nothing interesting in San Francisco, and the urban construction is not as good as our city." Zhu Wencong and Su Yanqing were strolling on the street.
"Their buildings are indeed not as beautiful and magnificent as ours, but we don't have their machines...
I feel like this is the future world, there are many things that are unfamiliar to me, and I feel very lonely here." Su Yanqing sighed.
Zhu Wencong took Su Yanqing to a coffee shop. He knew in his heart that this girl was homesick. The homesickness of Easterners cannot be suppressed by anything.
Singles can live all over the world, just like people with families. It is unrealistic for them to stay overseas for a long time.
"Wait a minute! I need to go to the toilet!" Zhu Wencong first found an excuse to leave.
Su Yanqing pouted her mouth and had to order alone. Western desserts are very delicious, far better than the same Eastern desserts.
However, the price is the monthly income of an ordinary person, which is very luxurious for Westerners to enjoy.
Although her understanding of the West comes from books and oral descriptions from others, Su Yanqing has her own unique insights.
That is, Westerners only care about their own enjoyment, and their happiness is based on the suffering of thousands of slaves.
"Dang Dang Dang! Do you like it?" Zhu Wencong came over holding pink roses.
"It's too...too direct! Is this French love?" Su Yanqing blushed, lowered her head, and said softly.
Zhu Wencong was stunned for a moment: "Love in France? Let's forget it!
I just think you must like this pink rose. You have followed me for so long and I haven’t thanked you yet.
You do so many things for free and don’t complain about being tired. It seems that I am too evil.
I will put a lot of pressure on you in the future, because I believe your future will definitely be extraordinary."
"Isn't French love the most romantic?" Su Yanqing was very curious about this.
Zhu Wencong sat opposite Su Yanling and accepted the desserts and coffee from the waiter. It was obvious that Su Yanling was very good at eating.
"Haven't you heard that those countries in the West do not have moral ethics?
The most common phenomenon is that they marry close relatives, and the children they give birth to are either mentally disabled, physically disabled, or short-lived.
Therefore, the population in the West is very small, life span is very short, and there are many hereditary diseases in the family. They are just a group of uncivilized savages.
Their men's romance is about taking off their pants and being irresponsible, while women's romance is about money, handsomeness and fame." Zhu Wencong commented.
Su Yanqing ate the cake, and her outlook on life was refreshed. Zhu Wencong would not lie to herself.
The master once said the same thing as Zhu Wencong: barbarians are barbarians after all, a group of savages who have not been transformed into kings.
"They seem to be marrying close relatives to ensure that the family's bloodline is pure..." Su Yanqing mentioned.
"Thus, a series of brain-dead families were born!
However, the Rothschild family in this era is an exception. The genetic disease in their family has not been passed down.
Don’t understand this family? The Lafite on the table is produced by their family and belongs to their French branch industry.
Do you want to take a sip? To be honest, their wine is pretty good!" Zhu Wenchong liked it very much.
Su Yanting picked up a bottle of Lafite and looked at the French label on it carefully. She had learned French herself.
Zhu Wencong stared at Su Yanting with a shocked expression. This female academic is really amazing and can understand French.
In fact, when it comes to learning, no one can surpass the Orientals who memorize by rote and have super strong memory and thinking ability.
Su Yanting held the goblet in both hands and took a sip. She felt that the French wine was quite delicious.
"How do you know so much about the West? Haven't you been working in the mint before?" Su Yanqing didn't understand.
"The main thing is to chat more with foreigners. They like to chat and talk about everything.
For example, we don't dare to talk about the imperial family, and they love to expose scandals about the royal family.
Have you found that your English is becoming more and more fluent? And your English writing is becoming more and more beautiful.
Under different circumstances, people will change as the environment changes." Zhu Wencong came one by one.
"You are so confident!" Su Yanqing admired her very much. For Zhu Wencong, nothing is difficult.
Zhu Wencong scratched his head, self-confidence is the greatest source of strength for human beings, and people with self-confidence can often accomplish great things.
Su Yanting likes the confident Zhu Wencong. From the first time they met to now, Zhu Wencong's confidence has not diminished.
"By the way! Why do you believe in the cotton market so much?
Don't you worry that the war will end at the end of this year and the cotton has not grown yet and will rot in the ground." Su Yanqing expressed concern.
"I believe that the northern faction will win, so even if the southern faction wins a resounding victory this year, the overall situation cannot be determined.
Their war is not like our desperate war. They allow surrender, treat prisoners preferentially, and let the soldiers live their lives.
Don't be so surprised! We fight for our lives, they fight for work, and eat when the time comes, even if the King of Heaven comes!
When the Northern faction raises enough war funds and the industrial machinery starts to turn again, the Southern faction will undoubtedly die.
You can refer to the British and French attacks on the Qing Dynasty. Industrial civilization defeated agricultural civilization, but there was no counterattack at all." Zhu Wencong said in detail.
Su Yanting didn't quite understand. It was the southern faction that was victorious, but they couldn't finish the northern faction in one go.
It seems that the method of exterminating descendants is really not popular here. Who would risk their lives for a salary of several hundred yuan!
Historically, the Northern faction defeated the Southern faction. Not only did the officials and officers of the Southern faction not change their positions, they were also promoted.
Work is work after all, so why bother beating workers? What’s more, they’re all just a bunch of insects.
"I quite like this kind of simple social system without so many ethical constraints." Su Yanling said bluntly.
"There is no error in the ethics of ethics! There is also no error in Confucianism!
What is wrong? What is wrong is the misinterpretation and wrong guidance of later generations. The knowledge that was originally meant to persuade people to do good has turned into a knowledge that fools the people.
You see, there is no general ethics here, and all kinds of beastly things have become commonplace.
Does anyone care about it? No one cares about it, because in their cognitive view, other people's affairs have nothing to do with you." Zhu Wencong emphasized.
Su Yanting looked at Zhu Wencong: "I feel that you dislike the Qing Dynasty very much, but you also love it internally?
Obviously you hate Confucianism, but you say it’s right, am I too stupid?”
Zhu Wencong shook his head. The answer to this question is very high-level, and most people cannot see it clearly or grasp it.
Su Yanting drooped her little head. She is a believer in Confucianism, and her master is a master of Confucianism.
"The answer is very simple, liking the East has nothing to do with the country.
The East is a civilization disguised as a country, and its core is an ancient civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years.
What I hate is the court, but what I love is the inner civilization, so no matter how fatuous the court is, the people will never abandon it.
Those Han officials were loyal to the Manchus, not because they were loyal to the imperial court but because they were loyal to civilization, a recognition engraved in their bones." Zhu Wenchong thought.
"Disguised as a country's civilization?" Su Yanqing was shocked.
"When you become familiar with the history of countries around the world, you will find that their countries are countries, but our country is not a country.
So we have passed down the inheritance to this day, but they have long since fallen apart. There are four major ancient civilizations in the world, and now only the East is left." Zhu Wenchong stood up.
"Oh? No wonder we can be separated for a long time and must be reunited for a long time. It turns out that it is not the establishment of a new dynasty, but the integration of civilizations.
From ancient times to the present, we have integrated many ethnic groups. What foreigners recognize is not the strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the Chinese civilization.
Huh? Are you going to work? Wait a minute, to thank you for the roses, I will play a song for you!" Su Ziqing smiled, knowing that Zhu Wencong was a busy man.
Su Yanting slowly sat in front of the piano, feeling the strange looks from the white people around her, and played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" calmly.
Zhu Wencong listened quietly and suddenly discovered that in the era without mobile phones, people were always versatile.
