What's more serious than this is that Wei Zheng and others saw a very likely bad sign.
Even though it’s just a sign, even though it’s a sign, it hasn’t appeared yet…
But if this matter continues like this, these young people will really be "ripped off"...
Then in the Tang Dynasty, within the borders of the country, Qingliu public opinion will get the opportunity to make a big fuss, saying that the Tang Dynasty does not care about the lives of young people, and only sends young people to die overseas.
This kind of public attack with the nature of grouping together and speaking ill of each other is of course pure fun for old fritters like Li Erwei Zheng and others, but it is also indifferent to the maritime merchants——
Although these merchants are all rough and tough, they have been trained in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, and they all know the dangers of going to sea. No matter whether Datang goes to rescue this time or not, the matter of maritime trade will have no impact on them.
In other words, it is still the same as anything else. It is nothing more than a matter of cost-effectiveness. As long as the expected return is still higher than the risk expectation, they will still not be afraid to go out and make a fortune, and the current sea trade business is undoubtedly a proper blue ocean.
Status - Then again, it is precisely because it is a blue ocean that the maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty will continue to devour the interests of various overseas forces. Therefore, these overseas forces are not only unhappy, but also jealous of these huge profits and
Only if you can get rich at the speed of light will you have the courage to touch the tiger's butt.
But ordinary young people are not like this. Once the court does something wrong in this matter, then... the next step will be public opinion, saying that the court is persecuting young people.
The average young people don't have the discerning ability of those old people. They respect these "clear scholars" very much. This is a simple mentality of respecting teachers and respecting Taoism, but because of this, they are often exploited. Once they are really used by various people.
The masters Lu Qingliu started to hype up the situation. Young people don’t understand the blue ocean and the red ocean, and they don’t have the strange ability of “watching the wind and hoping for the future” of this group of people who came out of troubled times. Once it feels like everyone is saying that going to sea is a dead end, it will soon become real.
Everyone believed that going to sea would be doomed.
by that time……
By that time, the Tang Dynasty will really change from being outward-looking and enterprising to making money, and turn into an inward-looking society like the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Then... party strife similar to the Eight Kings Rebellion will occur, and then another Shi Le will appear, or the Yellow Turban
Forces like this came out and wiped out the Tang Dynasty. This was completely foreseeable.
If the time had been a few years later, such a thing would not have been so serious, because by that time, the first group of young people who went overseas to seek wealth would have almost made a fortune. With the myth of wealth creation lying around, Qingliu would not have done it.
It is useless to use public opinion to destroy the environment. At this time, Qingliu usually uses various pua means to suck the blood of these young people.
But this is now, not a few years from now.
Now is the time when the sea trade boom has just begun. It sounds like it will be a long time, but in fact it will not be long at all, just a few years.
The sea trade road has just been explored by the older generation of adventurers, but young people have not yet regarded it as a development route. Generally speaking, they are just curious. Only a few can realize that this is a major way for them to gain fame.
Opportunities - and the fame gained at sea can even be better than taking the imperial examination route for a long time, because the fame in the imperial examination needs to be subject to a lot of rules and regulations, while overseas, as long as you have the ability,
You can do whatever you want, you can marry a hundred wives every minute and have sex, and no one will care about you at all.
This is a bonus for the first batch of young people to go overseas, and it is also a pavement to inspire more young people in the future.
But now...if these young people really die young, then Qingliu will have the ground to make trouble.
All these, a large number of unfavorable factors are superimposed together...
Not only might Datang's development prospects suddenly disappear, but its very existence might even be in crisis.
Such a situation...
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... these are all the top temple accountants in the Tang Dynasty, how can they not worry.
At this moment, Li Er was not only worried, but also angry. For the lonely people, these young people were their new selves, and they were also a group of people that Datang would count on in the future. Seeing these young people... For Li Er, it was...
It was as if I saw myself.
As a result, something like this happened now...
The key point is that this group of overseas countries has grown so ridiculously that they have begun to threaten the Tang Dynasty...
The two factors are superimposed.
Isn’t Li Er extremely angry?
Coupled with the incident about the bank in the previous memorandum, Li Er's mood became even darker.
Wei Zheng and others were nervous and extremely worried.
But now...
But there is no way, there is only one thing that can be done.
Rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, visit Li Sheng's shop Zizhenzhai as soon as possible, and see what mysteries are contained in Li Sheng's book "Money and Banking"...
Although he is worried, for Li Erjunchen...
Now I can only be patient and try to suppress my worries and anxiety.
…
And at the same time...
At the other end of the land of China...
Not the other end of the Tang Dynasty, but the other end of the real, complete land of China.
Siam!
Although Siam is a place that has existed since ancient times... no, these places are places where there is no such thing as "since ancient times".
There are various reasons for this, but in general, there is no native religion of its own. But it is better now, because during the hundreds of years of chaos during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism was introduced to China.
, but on the other hand it was also passed to Siam.
Buddhism has been criticized quite a lot in later generations. However, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the way to fight. It is a very powerful thing... Rational thinking must be powerful in some aspects.
The power of Buddhism is indeed no joke. It has not only attracted believers all over China, but also has temples all over the country. It has already established itself. Although when someone appeared a few years ago... the prestige of Buddhism was seriously damaged.
But...that's because I met someone.
For ordinary mortals, the spread and appeal of Buddhism is still powerful.
In Siam, it became the state religion in a matter of minutes...but this is not the point.
The key point is that the mansions and homes of Siamese nobles were also built in Buddhist style, and...
In recent years, due to the emergence of maritime merchants and exchanges with that distant giant country, the temples in Siam have gradually been built more and more grand and exquisite. They are even more elaborate, huge, beautiful and delicate than the original and ordinary temples.
Duo——On the top of a hill near the sea, a building stands majestically, giving it the feeling of being the largest temple in the world.
