If anyone mentions the Chinese gods in front of him again
.1. Wamsbruce thus developed a "newsletter" bamboo-loving love. In fact, before James Bruce came to Beijing to serve as the minister, he had great concern about the huge changes that had occurred in this ancient land in the far east. Especially when he handed over the position of Governor of Canada to Ali and began to return to his hometown to rest in his hometown, perhaps in the dark days. While James Bruce was fighting unremittingly with the disease, he almost had a strange and intense interest in the new and mysterious Taiping Heavenly Kingdom every move.
Of course, this strange and intense interest also brought him many unsolved mysteries.
For example, James Bruce remembered very clearly that it had begun as soon as the second half of 1856 entered, and it continued until the middle of 1858. It finally came to an end. In the wave of bankruptcy that almost swept across Europe and the United States, not only the United States, France and Prussia, but also in their British Empire, there were also many factories that were once recognized as quite large and valuable, but were unable to resist the violent blow of this extraordinary crisis and were not allowed to join the ranks of a huge bankruptcy team.
These factories of great scale and valuable were bought by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, which was like wandering around the streets and waiting to collect the rags. They not only bought them with all kinds of unpredictable tricks, but also bought them with extremely low prices of "super floors" that they could not even imagine, but also simply brought them back to China.
Of course, when those factories that could have been called the backbone of their British Empire, but now they have "collapsed", suddenly some people who came unexpectedly took over, whether it was Aunt James Bruce or the "big people" who were more in charge than him, they never thought that after the buyer had just purchased these factories, they would soon be demolished and not even a single piece of iron left, and then they crossed Haiti to the hands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.
Not to mention others at that time, at least James Bruce, the investors who were still brave enough to "fly to the flames" to share the worries of the empire in times of crisis, once praised loudly.
However, when James Bruce later found out that these complete sets of industrial equipment sold at the price of scrap iron actually went to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, he was shocked and confused.
In the magical Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there is indeed a god who can calculate and do everything!
James Bruce is very disdainful of this "legend" that has been hyped up by many people in Europe. Although James Bruce is 100% not a materialist, he is definitely a 100% atheist. He doesn't even believe in God and Christ, let alone ask him to believe in something.
Aunt Zhan Shrew Bruce was not interested in China for nothing. It was because of this interest that he would do some research on Chinese culture. However, the results of his research found that Chinese people would not do anything serious. What they are best at is actually pretending to be a ghost.
If you think about the whole thing, the emperor must first learn to pretend to be a god.
If you want to be a high-ranking official, you have to pretend to be a god.
Even if you just want to eat and drink simply, you can't pretend to be a ghost.
James Bruce once asked those friends who often came to this China many years ago for a heart-warming question, "What is the most impressive thing about you there?"
Nine out of ten people would tell him without even thinking about it, "Do you have the deepest impression? Hahaha, that is, you can meet someone who insists on fortune telling you wherever you go."
People who hear this kind of answer may generally think like this, fortune-telling? Humph is not that you are crazy about being poor or that you are eager to make money. Who would do this?
Then, I would sigh with a sigh, Alas, there are too many scammers there!
But James Bruce would not simply think so.
After hearing this answer from friends, James Bruce's first feeling was that this so-called ancient civilization was too ignorant and too incompetent!
What can you be rampant in fortune-telling not mean the ignorance of the people?
Even such low-intelligence games can be cheated of food and drinks. This is not only the low-poweredness of the scammers, but also the mental retardation of the people.
Of course, James Bruce is not a self-righteous fantasy either.
You should know that during his visit to France by Wang Lin Haifeng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, James Bruce, who was still serving as the governor of Canada, happened to be back to London for a holiday in his duties.
So, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, James Bruce sneaked to Paris, and as an ordinary employee of the British Empire Embassy in France, he also saw with his own eyes the King An, who was regarded as "the god who came to heaven and earth" by everyone.
From then on, anyone who mentions the "god" of China James Bruce in front of him will make his chin fall off.
Although he did not believe in the existence of gods, Jennens Bruce still believed that there were "superman" in this world, that is, people with extraordinary human abilities.
The An Wang Lin Haifeng and Ning Wang Zhengnan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which are widely praised, belong to this category, because their reason is that they have indeed made many things that ordinary people cannot make.
Of course, James Bruce is also such a "superman" because he has a pair of wise eyes and can see through things that many people cannot see.
This is why James Bruce finally understood so much industrial equipment, and it turned out that it would be shocked after being demolished by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.
Because James Bruce could see clearly at a glance. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government was taking advantage of the huge pain of other countries and using the lowest price to establish their own industrial system. The "superman" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was indeed even "super" than him.
But while a little frustrated, James Bruce was confused?
The cultured and wise James Bruce knows very well. In this world, there are many "superman" in this world. And a country's huge industrial system cannot be fully operated by just one or two.
