Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Why did the people go crazy over money, how did greed and fear control the hearts of people, how did such a simple and full of loopholes make the people in Jiangnan go crazy?

The crying Boss Wang told Bug Liu everything.

Bug Liu had almost ten million paper money in his hands, but he could still look coldly at the tragedy of these lunatics as if he was a monk entering a meditative state. The change in numbers on the blackboard would not incite any of Bug Liu's desires at all, as Bug Liu was just like a merciless boulder in the face of the entire crisis of the Jiangnan Notes.

Why was he able to calm down, and why couldn't the others? Why wasn't he greedy, and others were bound to be? Why wasn't he afraid, and the others were?

At this moment, there was an answer to everything, because the meaning that money represented in everyone's heart was different.

Bug Liu didn't have anything, he was just a beggar. Before the outbreak of the Notes crisis, all he had was two dry buns and a broken shack with a pile of rice straw.

In his heart, money was not fated to be with him. It was as if they were from two different worlds, and there was no connection at all. However, a dramatic scene appeared. When the first market crash occurred, it was this beggar who had obtained almost ten million notes in one go.

From that moment onwards, Bug Liu was stunned. Even now, he did not think that the money had anything to do with him. In his eyes, the money was just a sack that could be used as a pillow.

But in the hearts of the Boss Wang and all the citizens of Jiangnan, money was definitely not trash that could be used as a pillow and a sack. Money was their life.

In the Boss Wang's heart, money represented his son's studies, represented the new house his wife wanted, and represented his dignity in front of all his heartless relatives.

In the Sister Qing's heart, money was her daughter's future dowry, her favorite rouge and hairpin. It was her hope for the future retirement with no sons.

In the Big Brother Azure Dragon's eyes, money was a ticket for him to enter the Hua Clan. It could wash away his own contribution book, and could even help him obtain the Prime Minister's reward and a future title of nobility.

In the eyes of Ci Xi and Yi Nan, money was a brand-new palace, it was the dignity and prestige of a worshiper.

In Xiao Letian's eyes, money was the military expenditure of the Chinese people, the cornerstone of Chinese industrialization, the fuel for the nation's future prosperity.

Money was not the same in everyone's heart. It was not a specific symbol. Money represented a dream, dignity, and desire in everyone's heart … Money mixed with countless emotions was no longer just an empty symbol. It was their life.

Bug Liu looked at the numbers on the blackboard as it changed. He did not feel anything, because he did not put even a single cent into the battle, even if he did, he would not go crazy, because the 10 million was all in vain. He did not have the time to use that money to imagine what kind of life wish he had.

In Bug Liu's heart, money was equal to money, it had no other meaning.

But in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan, money was their life, and the fall of the Notes meant the collapse of their life. Boss Wang watched the change in numbers, thinking that his son had walked onto a dead end.

Other people looked at the numbers and thought about the old age coffin, the dignity in front of friends and family, even the opium they would never be able to stop, and the two taels of yellow wine.

That was the pursuit of their life, the source of their happiness. The crisis of the Notes did not just collapse on that piece of paper, it had collapsed on their lives, their happiness.

Thinking about it this way, Bug Liu suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is, people first lock down money and their happiness in life, and when the boat of money sank, the ship of happiness tied to a metal chain also sank to the bottom of the water. When life is filled with despair, how many people would be rational?"

"The reason why I can transcend the outside world is not because I'm that amazing. It's because I've been poor my entire life and just obtained a great fortune. But before I can tie myself together with my life, I'll have to f * cking collapse!"

"That's right. Money does not represent the future in my heart. It does not represent hope, nor does it represent dignity. It does not have any manor, beautiful scenery, or the desire to eat … That's why I was able to keep a sliver of clarity in my heart, calm enough to find all the flaws in the disaster. "

"That's right, it's exactly like that!" "I must remember this feeling. I must not forget this feeling for the rest of my life, especially this feeling of not moving in the slightest when I meditate. One could not be a slave to money! Absolutely not! "

Bug Liu grasped Boss Wang's wrist, "Big Brother Wang, don't die, can you really die after six or seven days? "I know that you don't dare to enter the house. I know that you're afraid to see your sister-in-law and son. How about this …"

"I have ten silver coins here. I saved them. Take them first …" Stop fooling around and pretend. At least you can use this amount of money to comfort your sister-in-law and your children when you get home! Don't lose the paper money, keep it safe, there will be a time when the clouds will clear! "

Boss Wang was stunned, in his hand was a heavy silver coin. He never thought that this was given to him by a beggar, and looking at Bug Liu's wildly running back, he wiped away his tears, "What happened to this world? The beggar gave me money? Silver coins? "Hmm …" Wait, silver coins! "I have silver coins, I have to send them to my wife and son first …"

At this time, he forgot about seeking death. He stuffed the silver coins into his pocket and ran home, knocking over countless people along the way. The Boss Wang didn't even have time to apologize.

When he ran back home, he found that his wife was already crying at the door. His youngest son wanted to go out with a lantern but couldn't bear to part with his mother. He scratched his ears and cheeks, at a loss of what to do.

"Mother!" "My father didn't seek death. My father returned …" With a single sentence, he had saved that woman's life. A daughter-in-law who had cried until she fainted rushed over and tightly grabbed onto that man's clothes.

"You can't die! If we lose money, we lose it. If we lose money, we lose it. As long as we live, we will lose everything. Wuu … We don't need money, we just want you to live! "

Only now did he realize how serious his mistake was. If Bug Liu did not save him today, he would have died unjustly.

"Right, I'm not going to die. Live well, and live a good life without money. Live a good life with money. I won't fight with money anymore!"
