What happened at that time, Wang Jing and others, still feel extremely hateful when they think back to it. Their good plan was ruined. Who would have thought that Yeon Gaesumun, the lord of Goguryeo, who everyone had high hopes for, would be unable to defeat Li Er in a game of waste at sea...
In the end, Chai Shao made dumplings and served them in one pot, which made it... impossible to cooperate.
After all, everyone is looking for a heroic hero who can stand up for them, and Yeon Gae So-moon... he's not heroic enough either.
Of course, Yeongaesomun is also very heroic, but since the army was defeated, it means that Goguryeo must not be heroic enough. Anyway, one of Yeongaesomun and Goguryeo is not good enough, so this whole idea is not feasible.
And after that incident...
That war actually became the starting point and beginning of the Tang Empire's great cause of developing sea trade and expanding overseas.
As for Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others, they had no choice but to give up this idea...
It can even be said that this line of thinking is dead. First it was the Turks, but the Turks couldn't do it, and then Goguryeo couldn't do it either...
After further inquiry, it turns out that Tibet has been staying behind closed doors recently. It is unclear what the country is busy with, and it is clear that it has no intention of using troops. Then there is nothing to say. It has no intention of using troops, so what hope is there?
.
So after thinking about it, Wang Jing and others felt that maybe they could only think about it from... They couldn't think of a solution from any similar direction. They could only try their best to get as much profit as possible... As for this
In the long run, we can only take one step at a time.
And generally speaking.
For most mortals, if they take one step at a time and see what it means, they will probably not look at it again, and they will often just keep walking blindly for the rest of their lives.
Wang Jing and others are getting older. Although they have not finished their lives, as time goes by, they inevitably stop thinking and secretly omit and optimize this "one step at a time".
In the final analysis, Li Er is now so powerful that it is very difficult to find a backer who can teach Li Er, a fool like him, a lesson.
As time went on, the key seemed to be that they found other feasible opportunities... feasible ways to make money, so Wang Jing and others were filled with emotion in their hearts. The dignified Five Surnames and Qi Wang were now reduced to the same level as ordinary people.
The merchants are competing for profits, but the matter has reached this point, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. Everyone can only bite the bullet first, and...
Later, the candy and wine business went really well in the beginning. Of course, this was a bit embarrassing for Wang Jing and others' status, but it was a good thing if they could pass on the wealth to their children and grandchildren smoothly.
This is no longer easy.
But as time went by, something happened... and everyone became more and more panicked.
It’s impossible to do this, and it’s impossible to play that. Could it be that everyone’s ancestors were all heroes, and now they are really going to decline?
After being so panicked for a while...
Gradually, Wang Jing and others got used to it. Although the problem of how to pass on the wealth is still unresolved, at least for now, everyone is no longer worried and their mentality is much better! ...
However, the structure of the human heart is very complex. If your mentality is good, your mentality may not be good.
Although numbness gradually occurs, numbness does not mean that there is no real pain.
At this moment, Pei Ji suddenly mentioned Rome and the previous cooperation between everyone and Goguryeo. For a moment...
It was as if a fire was ignited in Jiang Bao's heart, and Wang Jing and others all became excited in an instant.
Rome……
Goguryeo couldn't stand up, but Rome was different!
Even if Wang Jing and others did not pay much attention to the turmoil overseas, they had heard about Rome's prestige to some extent.
And if, everyone can join forces with Rome...
This thought was ignited by Pei Ji, and then it was like a piece of grass... no, it was like a nest of loaches in Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe... and everyone else's minds and hearts, burrowing around and jumping endlessly!
If we can catch up with the power of the Romans, then maybe... no, it can even be said to be a high probability that we can compete with Li Er in the future!
Just this idea surfaced and excited everyone, but soon...
Among them, Wang Jing showed a thoughtful look, and then frowned, "But that's not right...Rome and Li Tang are far apart, thousands of miles away. Although the power of Rome seems to be extremely powerful, but...there is a right way."
Water far away cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. The road is so far away, but how can we..."
After all, Wang Jing is the boss of everyone. Although he is not as smart as Pei Ji, in terms of alertness and vigilance, he is still quite good.
When Wang Jing asked this question, the others suddenly woke up a little. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you... The heartbeat was already fast, and now it suddenly became even faster.
Rome is definitely an opportunity, but... if we can't use it thousands of miles away, then everything is over!
Just like the most beautiful girl...
Everyone is quite clear about this truth at this age, and... because it is a serious matter, a serious issue related to whether the big families can continue to be rich and powerful, everyone showed a look of worry for a while, looking at Wang Jing, and then at
Xiang Pei Ji, he wanted to speak but stopped...
Wang Jing also stared at Pei Ji. He felt that Pei Ji was not an ordinary person. Since Pei Ji talked about this excitedly, it must be... he must have some thoughts on the issue of "thousands of miles away".
And then, as expected...
Pei Ji smiled mysteriously and said, "If it were in the past, this discussion would not be mentioned. Rome is located far away. If it could really be put to use, it would have fought with the Central Plains Dynasty long ago. How could it be known to us today? But?
Today is different from the past.”
"In the past, who in China knew about Rome? Well, they knew about it in the Han Dynasty, and they called it 'Great Qin'... but they only exchanged letters."
"But it's different now, Rome is already known to us!"
It seems that Pei Ji didn't say what he said. After all... everyone is talking about Rome. Of course he knows that he knows Rome. Needless to say... but everyone doesn't think this is nonsense. Wang Jing doesn't think so.
Cui Baihe, Lu Changgeng...and others didn't feel the same way. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Pei Ji...
"Brother Pei Shi means... is..."
Everyone looked at Pei Ji blankly for a while, feeling vaguely enlightened in their hearts... But they still didn't react for a while, and they were so anxious that they died.
Then Pei Ji laughed loudly and said with emotion, "Everyone... Rome is indeed thousands of miles away from Li Tang's empire, but the Roman army and Li Tang's sea trade business... are not thousands of miles apart!"
"He Li Er... even though he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, he is so keen on sea trade, but now China's maritime merchants are everywhere, and they clearly have Li Er's plan..."
