Jiang Dingzhen already wanted to understand what Mr. Mi Youde meant.
To describe the behavior of the Chu court in more elegant terms is to play hard to get, but to describe it in plain language is to arouse the enemy.
Jiang Dingzhen was frightened by what he thought, and he did not dare to think about it further.
It scares people, scares people to death.
He dropped a chess piece and sincerely asked for advice: "Mr. Mi, please explain this matter in detail.
I'm just a businessman, and I don't understand the current situation clearly."
When Mi Youde saw Jiang Dingzhen's face constantly sweating, he knew that Jiang Dingzhen had seen through part of it, but he just couldn't believe it.
He made slow moves, but the move was too fast, and the game was over. This matter cannot be explained thoroughly.
Collecting money to do things has always been Mi Youde's creed.
He received one thousand taels of silver coins from Jiang Dingzhen, enough for him to print hundreds of thousands of books.
After collecting so much money, we must provide services that meet the value.
He now relies purely on word of mouth to make a living, and he must not mess up his reputation.
Mi Youde explained in layman's terms: "The Chu court could not tell who was loyal and who was traitor among so many people.
But there is a saying that goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
In difficult times, a person chooses to side with the Chu State or turn outward.
The Chu court must make it clear that once they find someone who is not of the same mind as them, they will definitely deal with it severely and use it to scare the monkeys."
When Jiang Dingzhen heard Mi Youde say this, it was basically what he was thinking.
It's not like he was really confused. Mi Youde just gave him some guidance and he had already seen the current situation clearly.
When ordinary people drive a long distance, they all know to fill up the car with gas and check whether there are any defects in the parts.
This huge chariot of Chu State is about to start running wildly.
Chu State must conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that this chariot will not break down due to internal reasons when it is moving at full speed.
Because the younger generation of the Jiang family is greedy for vanity, they are unwilling to stay away from the prosperous Changping and go to the empire to start a new business.
It is precisely for this reason that the Jiang family hesitated to do things, and eventually they held a family meeting, but the result was still the same.
Due to a combination of circumstances, the Jiang family chose the most correct answer by mistake.
When Jiang Dingzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
If someone from the younger generation of the Jiang family appears who is willing to venture into the world, the Jiang family has already completed preparations for dividing the family.
The Jiang family chose Cunning Rabbit Three Cave. How would the Chu court view the Jiang family, which controlled a large steel factory?
Once the Chu court puts the Jiang family into another category, the Jiang family will immediately decline.
The more Jiang Dingzhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. His hands holding the chess pieces were shaking.
He asked with a trembling voice: "Mr. Mi, in this situation, what is the best choice for our Jiang family to do?"
Mi Youde smiled and said: "It's the same now as before, how we did things before, we do now.
Consistency, without much change, is the best way to deal with it.
How can a person who has no ghosts in his heart make such big moves?"
When Jiang Dingzhen heard Mr. Mi Youde's suggestion, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what the reason was for the Jiang family, in short, the Jiang family did not take any additional actions during this period of time.
The imperial court did not have the energy to go to each house to investigate carefully. They could only focus on some obvious actions and capture the flow of money and people.
This kind of thing is usually done without regard to the heart.
There are bound to be many unjust, false and wrong cases when talking about the mind, and eventually the whole thing becomes a mess.
When Mi Youde saw Jiang Dingzhen's expression softening, he knew that there would be no major problems with the Jiang family.
His tone also became more relaxed.
"This kind of thing is not only done by Chu State, but also other vassal states in Europe are doing the same thing.
Why is this happening only in Europe?
Because most of these vassal states in Europe are newly established countries, they do not yet have a solid foundation.
The vassal states in America were established much earlier, and there was almost no civilization in the area.
American countries now have a solid fundamentals.
These countries will not have a sense of crisis, and will not use various methods to screen out loyal citizens.
If these vassal states in Europe do not have a solid fundamentals, it is very easy for them to defect on the spot.
In order to avoid this situation, each major vassal country used different methods to conduct a large-scale screening of citizens from all classes.
Only citizens who pass the screening can gain the trust of the court and hold some important positions.
I found that many people are not aware of this situation. If Mr. Jiang takes advantage of this time difference, the Jiang family will definitely go further."
Jiang Dingzhen clasped her hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Mi, for clearing up my confusion and giving me a clear understanding of the current situation."
Mi Youde's hand, which had been resting for a long time, finally dropped a piece.
"Mr. Mi, I won this game."
Mi Youde has said everything that needs to be said, and now it is time to end the conversation.
What he said was very simple, but this simple analysis can only be sold to these big families who are willing to spend money.
Mi Youde did not dare to make this news public.
He broke the policy that the Chu court had been preparing for a long time. His small body could not withstand the revenge from the Chu court.
After Jiang Dingzhen finished playing the game, he left the Go club and returned home with a heavy heart.
He found an old newspaper in his study.
He had the idea that the Chu State was screening its citizens, and after looking at some of the policies implemented by the Chu State, he immediately understood the profound meaning of this policy.
Jiang Dingzhen was puzzled before seeing him. The Chu State had increased the benefits for indigenous people to join the army.
He had previously believed that doing so was the source of cholera.
Let the natives control the army, and sooner or later something will happen.
In the history of China, this kind of thing happened too many times, and these vassal states did not have long memories.
When the Han people are strong, they are docile sheep.
Once the strength of the Han people declines, the wolf nature of these people will be exposed immediately.
Jiang Dingzhen had been worried about something happening before, but it was already a general trend for indigenous people to join the army.
European countries have allowed indigenous people to join the army since Fujian, and they have performed well on the battlefield without causing too much trouble.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Countries provide a way for indigenous people to join the army.
Of course, they are all trench-filling soldiers, not technical arms in the army.
Weapons such as machine guns, artillery, and tanks, which determine the outcome of a war, are not ignorant of the imperial courts of various countries, and must be in the hands of the Han people.
Experts often speak in newspapers, and now the war is all about logistics.
The army's regular ammunition reserves are limited, so the army's logistical supplies only need to be cut off.
The firearms army becomes a toothless tiger.
The armies of various countries have long been accustomed to using firearms in combat and are not accustomed to using bayonets.
Jiang Dingzhen just felt that it was not suitable in his heart. Out of learning from past experiences, he opposed this policy from the bottom of his heart.
Now from the details of the report, he could already tell that these indigenous people who joined the army had gone through strict screening by the imperial court.
They all have a high degree of Chineseization, and their parents, wives, and children all live in Han-inhabited areas.
The most critical point is that indigenous people who believe in traditional European religions are not allowed to join the army.
Through various screening methods, the imperial court has been able to screen out most of the problematic indigenous people in advance.
When Jiang Dingzhen saw this, he shuddered.
The imperial court was able to conduct basic surveys on the large number of indigenous soldiers.
For large families like these, the investigation will be more detailed.
As long as a certain family makes small moves, it is basically impossible to avoid being discovered by the court.
Jiang Dingzhen observed the development of the situation in Changping with a detached attitude.
After several days of calm, Jiang Dingzhen did not hear that any of the houses had been taken away by officials for investigation.
He did not think that Mr. Mi Youde did not observe the current situation thoroughly enough. It should be that the government was closing the net.
He was preparing to read newspapers from other countries to understand the current situation in Europe.
His third brother Jiang Dingxiao suddenly burst into the study and said out of breath: "Brother, something happened.
Something happened to the Xu family, which supplies coking coal to our steelmaking plant."
Jiang Dingzhen immediately thought that this should be the court starting to close the net, but he was afraid that it was caused by other reasons, so he quickly asked: "Third brother, please slow down and tell me, what exactly happened to the Yang family?
Our steel plant does not need to worry about insufficient coking coal. In order to prevent the supply of raw materials, the steel plant will stop production and the steel-making furnace will be damaged.
Our steelmaking plant has found at least three merchants to supply various raw materials.
Even if two of them have problems, the steel plant will not have major problems and the products produced can be delivered normally."
Jiang Dingxiao still said anxiously: "Brother, I understand all these things and there is no problem in our steel factory.
The entire Xu family was taken away by the government for investigation.
Rumor has it that if the Xu family has contacts with foreign countries, the whole family may be sent to prison. Will this kind of thing affect our family?"
When Jiang Dingzhen heard this, he immediately understood that Mr. Mi Youde was right.
The Xu family was directly the first to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. They should not only transfer money, but also transfer some unique technologies.
Seeing that his third brother was a little nervous, he immediately comforted him: "Third brother, you don't have to worry about this.
We did not do anything illegal. Many businessmen transferred their assets away, but we trusted the government and did not transfer our assets.
The government must be biased towards businessmen like us who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
Just when Jiang Dingxiao wanted to refute, he immediately understood the hidden meaning in his elder brother's words.
Jiang Dingxiao said in horror: "Brother, you said something happened to the Xu family because they wanted to transfer the family property and offended the court."
Jiang Dingzhen knew Mr. Mi Youde's rules and he could not publicize Mr. Mi Youde.
He just nodded and said: "I expected it to be true, but because the Xu family went too far, they were ready to empty out the factory.
Small companies form a huge industrial empire.
This is one of the scenes I saw in China.
The imperial court will definitely not allow someone to transfer the factory's assets wantonly.
The Xu family should be regarded as the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
I think after this incident in the Xu family, if some families want to transfer their assets, they need to think carefully."
Jiang Dingxiao shook his head and said: "Brother, you think so, it is completely unfounded.
The imperial court will be very generous and will never do what you said.
The imperial court has never prohibited citizens from leaving the country before.
The policy cannot suddenly change."
Jiang Dingzhen did not argue with his brother about this issue.
He said with a relaxed expression: "The main purpose of the imperial court in this matter is to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and to warn future generations.
The officials in Changping Prefecture will definitely explain the reasons for arresting people.
We don’t need to argue about such meaningless things, we just need to wait for the results.”
When Jiang Dingxiao heard his elder brother say this, he stopped arguing and waited for the results of this case to be announced.
Jiang Dingzhen ignored this case. He had been reading the policies issued by other vassal countries.
After comprehensive consideration, he found that Chu State, as a seaside country, had relatively abundant rainy seasons.
This allowed the Chu State to harvest a large amount of food through farming and fishing.
The industrial development of Chu State has also been very smooth, without encountering any major bottlenecks.
Due to different national conditions, other vassal states in Europe have different efforts to screen citizens of various classes.
However, these countries generally screen their citizens and want to screen out their basic base.
When Jiang Dingzhen saw this situation, he felt pity for the merchants who transferred their assets to other vassal states.
Such people failed to pass the screening of Chu State, and they were not even qualified to enter the screening of other vassal states.
For a betrayer, no one can guarantee whether he will betray again.
Jiang Dingzhen was looking at the information when his younger brother Jiang Dingxiao opened the door and walked in with excitement.
He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother, you are so amazing. Before the news was announced, you had already predicted what was going on.
As the eldest brother said, the Xu family transferred their property to Qi State, which was directly classified by the government as being connected with foreign countries.
In order to maintain order, the official sentenced the case quickly.
The businessmen who had already taken action were immediately frightened by this situation.
All these businessmen have now given up the idea of transferring their property.
Fortunately, our family was not involved in these bad things.
How could the situation in the imperial court change so quickly?
At that time, I also supported merchants to transfer part of their property so that the next generation could go to the empire and support us.
Now it seems that this is a stupid idea.
Fortunately, this method failed, otherwise I would be the sinner of the Jiang family."
Jiang Dingzhen knew that his younger brother was quick to talk, and he saw that his younger brother looked like he was going to survive a disaster.
He did not tell his younger brother that the imperial court wanted to screen citizens and build a solid domestic base.
Such important news cannot be spread everywhere from the Jiang family.
The Jiang family must learn to hide their capabilities and bide their time. If they know too much, they may attract the attention of the government.
When Jiang Dingzhen saw his somewhat decadent brother, he roared loudly: "Dingxiao, you have to cheer up.
It’s very safe at home, you don’t have to worry.”
Jiang Dingxiao saw his eldest brother's confident look, and he could finally feel completely relieved about the Jiang family's situation.
Something happened to the Xu family, which really frightened him.
In his mind, this matter was just a small matter.
However, because of this trivial matter, the Chu court chose to kill the merchants to frighten them.
Just a little bit, the Jiang family will become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Fortunately, his proposal did not pass, allowing the Jiang family to survive this crisis safely.
Jiang Dingxiao always felt that his elder brother was hiding something from him.
But the eldest brother's judgment of the situation was very correct. With the eldest brother at the helm of the Jiang family, he would not worry about something happening to the Jiang family suddenly.
