Chapter 2735 Crossing the River in White Clothes

Li Xin made Zhao Changan a cup of hot coffee without sugar. The three of them each took a cup of sugar-free coffee and sipped the mellow and bitter taste.

The sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves of the camphor trees outside the window, casting dots of bright colors, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly cold room.

"Do you know about the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?"

Li Xin took the remote control, turned on the TV, turned down the volume, and randomly selected a channel.

“Not very involved.”

Zhao Changan saw the thin cigarettes on the coffee table, took out one and threw it to Luo Nianfang, then lit one for himself.

"The dragon, tiger and dog of the Zhuge clan of Langya serve Shu, Wu and Wei. The Wang clan of Langya, the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Xie clan of Chenjun, the Li clan of Longxi and the Guo clan of Taiyuan also invest separately. Unless they are sure that one side will win, they will make a big bet with the whole family.

Li Xin smiled and asked Zhao Changan: "There are also intermarriages between families that must be carried out in every generation. Tell me, why do they do this?"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Another thing is to band together for warmth, or to unite and commit crimes."

"So you have to understand that among these old-line chaebols, the continuation of the family's wealth is their only goal."

Li Xin glanced at Luo Nianfang and said, "You have enjoyed the wealth brought to you by your family for more than 20 years, and now you are only asked to marry a wife who is completely in name only. You can't stand it?"

"It's not that I can't stand it, but they gave me this name and educated me like this since I was a child. However, I only realized now that all this is just a scam, just a deception for them to gain more support and make more money!"

Luo Nianfang's eyes turned red again: "Moreover, these lands were still primitive and barbaric hundreds of years ago. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese people have gone to Southeast Asia to build them. -"

"Stop, I don't want to discuss this!"

Li Xin raised her head and interrupted Luo Nianfang seriously: "You asked me for a method. I tell you, there are many methods, but you have to choose them yourself. I won't get involved in this mess."

Then he said to Zhao Changan, "I know what you want to do, but it's really troublesome for such aristocratic family to last for a hundred years. You can't even defeat Qi Daolong and the Lu family, and you still want to cooperate with them. Are you trying to get the skin of a tiger? You can still use the rules in China and those developed countries, but they are just waste paper there, unless you are a Westerner."

Li Xin smiled at Zhao Changan, with a bit of grimness in her smile: "In fact, I still don't want you to take a bright and modern path, and compete with Europe and the United States for the right to speak in the economic order of Southeast Asia in your own way, instead of entangled with this group of short-sighted and short-sighted old foxes. Don't make you angry and angry, and become Zhao Baitu who can stop the crying of children over there, and really kill them all. It won't be good for you and the Chinese community, right?"

"Just him?"

When Luo Nianfang heard Li Xin say this about Zhao Changan, she couldn't help but feel surprised and disbelieving.

Li Xin ignored Luo Nianfang, put down her coffee cup, looked at her own slender white hands and said, "Besides, it's not nice to have your hands stained red. I haven't washed them clean yet."

Zhao Changan roughly understood Li Xin's attitude, but this attitude surprised him a little.

He smiled and said, "Speaking of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there is one thing that I remember very clearly, which is Lü Meng's crossing the river in white clothes. The romance of Shu Han, the character of Cao Wei, and the rats of Dongwu, a large part of this saying comes from here."

Li Xin looked at Zhao Changan with bright eyes: "Do you admire him or despise him?"

Zhao Changan smiled but did not answer. "Lü Meng's crossing the river in white clothes broke the rules of warfare between the three kingdoms of Shu, Wu and Wei. From then on, he could justifiably slaughter merchants from the enemy country at any time during the war and annex their wealth. By analogy, it was normal to massacre the city in the end. However, it was Lü Meng's destruction and challenge to the rules from the bottom that gradually weakened the power of the chaebols and literati who had controlled the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years, and untied the solidified class of the entire society, until the White Horse Disaster completely wiped out the ancient Chinese chaebols and literati, allowing the poor to rise. Whether you admit it or not, whether you like Lü Meng or not, I think your goal for Southeast Asia is also to cross the river in white clothes."

-

Li Xin did not invite Zhao Changan and Luo Nianfang to have lunch. The two of them just ordered a few dishes at a small restaurant on the street. Both of them were driving, so they just ordered two bottles of fruit beer to rinse their mouths.

"I feel like my IQ is really low. I don't understand a lot of what you and Aunt Bai say. But when I listen to you, it feels like my blood is boiling, as if you are going to dominate the world."

Luo Nianfang looked at Zhao Changan.

"Although Lao Bai's three disciples are called three psychopaths, it is a compliment, don't get the wrong idea. Do you still want to hear it?"

Seeing Luo Nianfang's face change a little, Zhao Changan had to shut him up with words.

"I'm not familiar with those two, but I really respect Aunt Bai. Even if it's a compliment, please don't say it."

Luo Nianfang lowered his head and took a sip of fruit beer.

"Row."

Zhao Changan waited until Luo Nianfang was unwilling to joke about it, and then he said: "As for the history of Nanyang, I don't need to tell you, you should know it better than me. First, it was a vassal state of the north and accepted the title. Then, starting from the Netherlands, it was colonized by Europe. Although it became independent decades ago, it is still deeply influenced by Europe and the United States.

Hongxi River in 1740 - hundreds of years have passed, your eyes shouldn't be so red, like a fighting cock.

And there is Lan Fang. For hundreds of years, the natives in Southeast Asia have always judged others by their own standards.

What it is in essence is that you should not think that they are all fools who are willing to be bewitched and driven by those in Europe and the United States. Instead, they also recognize the Chinese people's diligence, wisdom, bravery, justice and excellence, as well as their stupidity, laziness and unearned gains.

And don't think too much about those Europeans and Americans, thinking that they would rather see the emergence of a powerful and civilized China.

But people like your father are so disappointing. They are just as short-sighted as those in the Wei and Jin dynasties who only cared about their own family's wealth and glory, but they didn't understand that in the great tide of the times, they are still as fragile as ants.

Don’t think of a castle without a background, it’s just a sand sculpture built on the beach.

The only way is to make the country strong and dominate the Southeast Asian economy, then import culture, coexist peacefully with them, help them to get rich through hard work, and allow peaceful, civilized and economic cooperation to develop into a large economic family integrating East Asia and Southeast Asia.

This will definitely be very troublesome, and there will be a lot of resistance. It's the back garden of Europe and the United States. They won't be so obedient if they are told to withdraw. You have to understand one thing. Any major social change is not just about flowers and wine, but also a little bit of death and killing. What Li Xin meant was that some families are too dirty and too greedy. Don't unite with them. You can paralyze them first, and don't be soft-hearted when it's time to kill them. Take them as a token of your loyalty, and Lao Bai will cooperate."

Zhao Changan looked at Luo Nianfang, who was in shock, and asked, "Are you interested in joining us to burn down those corrupt old chaebols, bury them completely, and create a brand new future world?"

There are many things that neither Bai Feifei nor Zhao Changan can explain clearly. Even now, Zhao Changan still hasn't said it clearly. He didn't explain everything to Luo Nianfang, and was just shouting slogans.

But it was obvious that his intelligence enabled him to understand.
