Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 13 New and Old Societies

Discussions on the Internet include both the preparations for the crossing itself and the policies for future crossings: including organizational form, military structure, industry, agriculture, education, political organization, and so on.

There will be a large number of updates in the message board of the discussion group every day, and those who sign up to participate in the time-traveling operation can conduct simultaneous discussions at any time.

Parliamentary democracy?Separation of powers?Constitutional monarchy?Totalitarianism?Nationalism?socialism?

Everyone wants to be a theorist of the new world.

The discussion was very lively, with various views and opinions emerging in an endless stream.It is the dream of many people to be a editor of history to steal the truth.But what kind of new world to build is obviously a matter of opinion.Democracy or dictatorship, peace or militarism, parliament or centralization... to the style of clothing, whether to implement compulsory education for all, what language the army uses, and even the title system, there are people who are arguing about it. , the hat is the same color as the stick.

The Executive Committee has an attitude of not participating in and not commenting on the heated discussions.Since everyone is willing to quarrel, let's have a good time arguing. It's better to quarrel now than to go to the beach in Hainan.Moreover, it is easy for people to expose their true colors on the Internet, so we can further deepen our understanding of these people and select suitable backbone candidates.

It is difficult to say what organizational form and election principles this executive committee is established through, and what basis it chooses who can join the committee.This seems incredible to modern people who pay attention to democratic power.But it's not surprising to think about it: the traversers didn't really hold a general meeting during the one-year preparation period, and they never elected anyone to hold a position.In fact, this is impossible—the participants are always changing, and the active members at a certain meeting may not come out next time, but new people will ask to join.Xiao Zishan has been trying to make a list, and it took almost half a year for him to basically achieve his wish.In the state of unstable personnel composition, Wen Desi, Xiao Zishan, and Wang Luobin, who have been presiding over the daily preparations for the crossing, naturally became the core of the executive committee.

At this point, they are in no rush to expand the executive committee.Although the three people have different backgrounds, living environments, educational backgrounds, and working environments, they can understand each other in many ways.When some people asked to report immediately, the Executive Committee replied in unison without discussion: the current infrastructure is not complete, and we have to wait for another stage.They know very well in their hearts that the more time-traveling capital they have accumulated in their hands at this time, the more important their status will be in the future time-traveling power structure.

In Xiao Zishan's view, seniority is always a valuable intangible asset at any time.Especially in such a social organization, the length of seniority often determines the right to speak and prestige in the organization.Now they have limited understanding of the status of many traversers. Letting them join too early will allow some people to obtain qualifications that do not match their abilities, which will be detrimental to future work.

Wen Desi's consideration is more realistic: the most indispensable in this time and space are people who are impetuous and boastful--the success is not enough to fail.The best way to filter these people out is to take the time to pass their whims.

Of course, this silent period cannot be too long.The preparation involved too much professional knowledge and skills, and the three of them couldn't do it anyway. The Executive Committee needed fresh blood.After a small meeting, it was decided that without further ado, it was time to wear it again and get enough money to get into the actual preparations.

"My lord has given orders. When the lords come, please change your clothes first. The lord will come out in a while." A steward respectfully welcomed them into a small courtyard.

The courtyard is small and exquisite, with sparse flowers and trees, very elegant and quiet.On the table, there are several wooden trays, clothes, towels, shoes and hats.

Wen Desi and the others didn't know that Mr. Gao gave the mirror powder box and some rare items to more than a dozen high-ranking officials and dignitaries who had been with them for a long time, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire Guangzhou city.Glass mirrors, not to mention the common people, even ordinary rich people, have heard a lot about them and rarely seen them.Not to mention the box itself is unheard of.There was an endless stream of buyers on his shop.A powder box of twelve taels was sold for 50 taels, and it was sold out.

Mr. Gao has been selling fan goods for more than 20 years. Although he has made a lot of money, it is the first time he has shown his face like this.The colleagues who have visited him in the past two weeks have really followed the saying of stepping on the threshold.Everyone wants to get out of his mouth where the shipments come from.This group of old sea trade merchants naturally knew that no matter whether it was Frangji, Hongmao, or English merchants, there was no such thing, and it was not their sailing schedule recently.

The biggest possibility is that a new overseas businessman came to Guangzhou, and this merchant was picked up by Mr. Gao.When many people regret how their eyes and ears are so closed, there are many more suspicious people wandering around high houses and shops.This alerted Mr. Gao. Although he has Eunuch Yang as his backer, none of the people in Guangzhou who are easy to mess with is not easy to mess with.I am much more careful now, and the matter of buying a house entrusted by Wen Desi has also been put aside for the time being.

At this moment, Gao Ju could no longer care about the suspiciousness of these people.The biggest characteristic of a businessman is profit-seeking.What he was most worried about was that the appearance of the Australian maritime merchant was too eye-catching, so he made this arrangement.He didn't want people to know the details of his supply of goods - this huge wealth must be firmly in his own hands.

Wen Desi and Wang Luobin looked at each other, and they could roughly guess what Master Gao was up to.But it was to their liking to be unobtrusive.Immediately changed clothes.

It's just that I really can't figure out how to wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. These few are not fans of Hanfu.The steward outside came in to deliver tea, seeing that the towel was crooked and the collar was too embarrassing, so he had to call a maid to help change clothes.

The wealthy and rich families in Guangdong have always had the habit of keeping maidservants, and the manager also knew that the master deliberately wanted to befriend these merchants, so the maidservants he summoned were naturally not bad.Both of them were fifteen or sixteen young girls with bright eyes and kind eyes. They were pretty and lovely. They were blessed with grace when they came in, and they came up to take off their ugly clothes.Boss Wen can be regarded as a person who has gone through some romantic scenes, and it is a bit too much for such a lolita's soft little hands to hold and knead, and undress, thinking that this is a man's paradise!

While thinking wildly, he saw Xiao Zishan also fascinated.Then he laughed in a low voice:

"Why, are you tempted too?"

"That's right, this is how a man should live." Xiao Zishan remembered the domineering spirit of his girlfriend back then: feudal society also had a bright side.

"Why not!" Wang Luobin also indignantly said, "Modern society is full of proprieties and music." As he spoke and complained about his wife who graduated from the Department of Physical Education, his resentment was palpable, allowing Xiao Zishan and Wen Desi to fully understand the other The power of a wife.

The two maidservants stood aside, seeing Wang Luobin talking non-stop, but they couldn't quite understand him, they just watched him gesticulate with excitement on his face, and the scarf that he had just put on was crooked again, drooping on his forehead , all lowered their heads and pursed their lips and smiled.

Xiao Zishan stabbed the impassioned Wang Luobin: "Wang Gong, what do you think of this little girl? Tell Master Gao to take her back?"

Wang Luobin shook his head again and again: "Junior high school student, how can I do it!"

"You can handle high school students?" Xiao Zishan continued to tease him, "Take care of him first, and you will be familiar with it in a few years..."

"Still working on a loli nurturing plan?" Wen Desi interjected, "I'm quite interested." As he spoke, he looked the girls up and down: Although these two girls are a bit thin, they are She is fair and clean, with a delicate appearance. If she strengthens her nutrition, she will be a good embryo...

When the big bad wolf's eyes were wandering around the little white rabbit, the curtain was lifted, and Mr. Gao walked in proudly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help smiling.These sea merchants have been in and out of storms for many years, and they are all hungry ghosts when they come ashore.Not to mention those red-haired Francophones - all kinds of women are wanted.

But he didn't say much, just cupped his hands and said: "Several distinguished guests, have you been well?"
