For Ye An, who has seen the essence clearly, his beliefs have changed at this time. From the beginning when he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he hoped to live a good life, to gradually contribute to this era, and to now
Cold Heart.
Ye An realized the most important thing, class!
After he had a conflict with the Qian family when he was still white, almost everyone, including Wang Yuan and Xuan Chengzi, tried to stop himself from fighting with the Qian family.
It was then that I became ignorant of the class divide.
It was not until later that I got on the "big ship" of the scholar-bureaucrats and became a member of the ship. The Qian family's troubles disappeared, they no longer opposed me, and they reconciled "magnanimously"...
But Ye An knew that if he hadn't become the Marquis of Yunzhong and reconciled, there would have been even more brutal revenge, right?
The reality is like this. The more you resist, the less you can live the life you expected. Now that you have a family and a family, you live in Tokyo with Qin Mumu, and you also have an official status... In a sense
He has integrated into this era, so he must abide by the rules here.
Ye An, who wanted to understand all this, suddenly felt that he was a little stupid. Wanting to resist this era was equivalent to resisting himself. When you become one of them, all problems are no longer other people's problems.
In the final analysis, your own power is not strong enough. If you want to become truly powerful, you still need your own power!
But wanting to have one's own power in the city of Tokyo is almost equivalent to seeking death. The Zhao Songtian family is completely iron-clad internally, especially with the city of Tokyo.
From the Imperial City Division to the San Yamen, from Kaifeng Mansion to Xiangfu County of Kaifeng County, the entire city of Tokyo is under the eyes of the Tianjia, and any disturbance will reach the ears of Liu E and Zhao Zhen.
With just one sentence, the forces that have been working hard for many years will be wiped out in an instant. No matter how powerful the forces are, they will not be able to fight against the state machine.
How can one have absolute security in this world even if conditions are not created?
That is, you must have a powerful force of your own! Not to mention later generations, it was not easy to achieve even in the feudal era, especially in a dynasty like the Song Dynasty that valued military power particularly.
No matter how awesome or arrogant the civil servants are, they are not afraid of anything. They can't afford to make any money, and they pose no threat to the Tian family!
Now Ye An himself has a literary background. Regardless of whether this literary talent was given by the Tian family, he is a literary background anyway. Unless the emperor transfers himself to a military position, this status will never change.
Ye An has never been a stickler for rules, so when Chen Lin asked about the Sui coins, Ye An knew what he was going to do. Spending an extra 100,000 yuan had exceeded Liu E's previous estimate.
One hundred thousand guan was still a big expense for the Song Dynasty, especially when the late emperor's annual 300,000 guan was broken. In the eyes of the Song people, this was an unfilial act. Of course, it was more distressing.
That hundred thousand dollars.
Ye An told Chen Lin his thoughts and repeatedly promised that the money would be well spent. However, Chen Lin still hesitated and said: "This matter is important. You should not discuss it with the Liao envoy tomorrow.
The saint has his own decision!"
All this was expected by Ye An, but he still felt a strong distrust, but let alone himself, even a shrewd person like Xia Song would be punished if he did such an "out of line" thing.
Do you want to enter the palace to play duet?
Having already been mentally prepared, Ye An nodded in agreement: "That's fine, I was planning to report this matter to the saint. Since the high official said so, let's talk about the attitude of the saint."
Chen Lin curled her lips: "You have already agreed to the Liao envoy's suggestion before. If you change it, it will not only embarrass you, but also bring disgrace to the Tian family. Making decisions without authorization is what annoys the saint the most!"
Sure enough, it’s still hard to live with! Ye An sighed: “That’s true, but Xianggong Wang and Xianggong Lu should report the real problem to the saints. One word difference will make the face of Song Dynasty even more difficult for me. yes!"
"Nonsense, if you hadn't seen the suspicion, the saint had already replaced you, why would he call you to the palace tomorrow morning? You are really capable. The saint believed in you and let you take on this important task. Don't think that there are only a few people in the court. Wang Zhen is the only one who opposes it, but there are quite a few who participated in your performance!"
Chen Lin's words were half and half, expressing Liu E's dissatisfaction and affirming Ye An's ability. However, Ye An believed that these words should have come from Lan Jiji, otherwise Chen Lin's temper would not have allowed him to do so. So tactful.
However, Ye An had already thought about what to say when he entered the palace and left the Imperial City Department after bowing. After all, Chen Lin's appearance was to express two things.
One was to tell Ye An that the robbery and killing of his dead soldiers had nothing to do with Zhao Zongshuo, so that the hostility between himself and the clan could be turned into friendship. The other was to tell Ye An about the negotiation of Sui coins. Both of them were matters related to the face of the Tian family.
Chen Lin made it very clear on this matter that he represented Liu E's thoughts. Ye An himself also knew that his previous actions had touched the interests of the Tian family represented by Liu E.
Chen Lin was pretty good. She took Ye An back to her home in a carriage from the Imperial City Division. Along the way, not to mention traffickers and lackeys, even ordinary people stayed away. This was a privilege. Of course, Ye An was one of them now.
After returning home, Ye An told Qin Mumu about today's thoughts. The two of them sat in their own small building and watched the lanterns of Tokyo City come on, and felt a rare sense of peace in their hearts.
But to Ye An's surprise, Qin Mumu remained silent for a long time after listening, frowned and thought for a long time and said: "Actually, our starting point was wrong from the beginning. We should not think about fighting against change, but thinking about how to integrate. Go in.
Among other things, I discovered the problem when I went to deal with debts in the past few days. Some people deserve our good treatment, but some people are not worthy at all!
We are not Holy Mothers, so we don’t need to use our kindness to deal with other people’s greed, right? You are right, we should live our lives well, and as for change, maybe it is something that should be considered in the future.”
Ye An was surprised by Qin Mumu's delicacy. Of course, as a woman, Qin Mumu has inherent advantages. She is sensitive and delicate, and she keenly discovered problems in this foreign country.
Looking at Ye An in a daze, Qin Mumu asked curiously: "Are you dazed?"
"I wonder what I would do without you?"
"Ugh...disgusting!"
Ye An laughed and then felt lonely again: "You are right, we should live our own lives well. This is how it is. I am still too impatient to improve, so I took over the debt of Daxiangguo Temple in a hurry. "Although I can make money, I'm still a bit arrogant."
"It's okay, just make money. Why are you worried when you have money? But your words are becoming more and more like the ancients. This is a good thing. We should integrate into this era. As for who is behind the murder, sooner or later we will find out. But now I am not anxious. Liu E has begun to pay attention to it. The remaining dead soldiers will definitely not dare to take any action. These people are not specially used to deal with you. They will definitely have a greater "effect". Do you think they will rob you? If I fail to kill you once, will I kill you a second time to increase the risk of exposure?"
Ye An gently put Qin Mumu's jade hand into his arms. It would still be a bit cold in the winter even with a heater nearby. Then he nodded slightly and said: "Madam, you have thought carefully. Let's change our strategy now.
Focus on your family, and as for the country, just do your best without having to dedicate yourself!"
Qin Mumu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't say I'm selfish. A woman's nature is to protect her own family. Only when our family is taken care of can we have time to take care of "everyone". You are better than me."
Understanding this era, it was only during my stay in Lan Kwai Fong that I realized how prosperous Tokyo was. There were too many large-scale transactions, and we had to start our own development."
Pulling Qin Mumu into his arms, Ye An smiled and said: "The larger the transaction, the better for us. I can't change the country's politics, but I can change the country's economy. Maybe I can change the economic model as well."
Maybe! But the starting point of everything is our own industry! It is legal in the Song Dynasty to be extremely wealthy, but no one will care about monopoly, not even the emperor!"
Qin Mumu whispered: "Have we become the people we hate the most? Capital is difficult to control. Once our goal is achieved, what will the Song Dynasty look like? How can we control the greed of capital? All parties involved
Under the entanglement of interests, will we compromise again..."
