159【Free】What do you really are

The banquet was in full swing in the Longchuan Yamen. Zheng Abao and Zhao Jinzhongji were having fun. The people brought by Zheng Abao cleaned up the table in a very Western way: French cuisine, tablecloths, Western glassware, Western tableware, and even flower arrangements. After praying before the dinner, the ** official opened his hands that had just been clasped to thank the Father, and said with a smile: "This is probably the most authentic Western food in Longchuan since ancient times and in the next five years."

Although during the preparation of the banquet, a group of angry reporters came to the election host Zhao Jin** to complain for a while, but this matter did not cause trouble, but only added jokes between friends, because of the object and behavior they accused: the guy who sent the Bible with the telegram, Zhao Jin*** thought about it for ten minutes and believed that the guy did not violate any rules; even if he pulled out his gun, it could be understood as legitimate defense, because it was reasonable to make a legal reason. Anyone who invented that sending a telegram with the Bible would inevitably face the anger of the queue. If he didn't pull out the gun, he would be beaten. The telegram Bible itself was legal, so it was legal for him to draw out the gun to deter others. After the reporter left in disappointment, the official went back and said that, Zheng Abao laughed.

The two are good friends for many years. The young official was the emperor's favorite minister. He started with the former boy scout officer commonly known as "Qingyun Kindergarten". Zheng Abao always claimed to himself: "I am the extra-staff servant of your boy scout officer. At that time, I was envious of you. If I were not a country kid and had a stupid mind, Your Majesty would not want me, I would have worn Western military uniforms with you to strait the Qing demons."

Zheng Abao started out as a child in the countryside of Fogang. Although he did not understand foreign languages ​​and mathematics, his traditional emotional intelligence was very high. With the super favor of the emperor who even guided the management and management of "Brother Arms" and "Imperial Arms", he went to the imperial palace at that time and the governor's office of the Qing Dynasty every day. Even if he couldn't see His Majesty, he would not miss any opportunity. He would flatter anyone who could curry favor with him. Minister Qin Liansheng, who is now in charge of East Asian diplomacy, had no choice but to become sworn brother with their brother back then, because Master Bao almost hugged his other person's legs and shouted: "Brother, you saved my life in Tianjing. I just want to revenge him. I just want to make a fuss with Brother Qin. If you dislike me, then become sworn brother with my brother."

Although he really disgusted the other party, Qin Liansheng did not dare to despise this arms bastard supported by His Majesty. However, now this adult is willing to be content with his sworn brothers.

He also had a friendship with a group of boy scouts of similar age. When he was happy, he would come to his factory to invite all future pillars to eat and drink, have enough arms, and give them long and short guns per pound. As a result, he would call these boy scouts brothers and brothers, all of them were buddies.

Even when Zheng Abao goes abroad to discuss business and purchase patents or machinery, no matter how busy he is and how tight the itinerary, he will not forget to take time to pay homage to friends who are studying or studying in various countries. After asking about his well-being, he will definitely bring out specially prepared gifts from his hometown and "tea dedication" measured by the local currency.

Young officials and officers from Boy Scouts also liked him. In the past, they might have thought he was a little bit rustic, but now they not only have brotherhood, but also have a considerable appreciation for their status, because Zheng Abao has also become a tycoon, and his ability in corporate marketing and public relations is no less than that of all the outstanding people in the battlefield or diplomacy.

The banquet was very smooth, and Jin Zhongji was very happy. After three rounds of wine, his face turned red like shrimps, and he asked the secretary to pour wine. The secretary was so scared that he looked at this and that one and didn't know what to do. However, Zheng Abao smiled and ordered: "Change tea, Xiao Jin, you've got home. I won't get you anymore. Let's talk about it when I go back to the capital."

After being stopped, Kim Jong-ki also sat upright with a smile, waved his hand to put away the wine utensils, and smiled, "I just tried to try, are you still so bad? I still have a heavy responsibility, how dare I drink too much?"

Speaking of this, Kim Jong-ki approached Zheng Abao and asked, "What's going on with your Liberal Party? Tell me. To be honest, I didn't expect the second party formed by His Majesty to be the Liberal Party. It turns out that the name he planned was not this."

Zheng Abao talked about his party's purpose with his hands and feet. He asked while he said, and the official of ** asked.

After he finished speaking about the general purpose, he frowned at the official who had a lot of election research and said, "You are not a Liberal Party, these purposes are the principles of the British Conservative Party. Why are you called the Liberal Party yourself?"

"Hey, Your Majesty said that he originally wanted to find a few of us to establish the "Christ Conservative Party"," Zheng Abao smiled and said, "But he said: He read the abbreviation several times in the Qing Dynasty's official language, and shook his head and denied it. He said that the abbreviation is not pronounced well in Chinese."

"Abbreviated as? Kibao Party? Where is the bad abbreviation?" The official asked.

"You read it twenty times in Qing Dynasty Mandarin. Hurry up." Zheng Abao smiled wickedly.

**The official read it several times, laughed and asked, "Is it because of the abbreviation that Your Majesty abandoned this name?"

"How is that possible? Your Majesty thinks a lot. He is naturally wise, just like King Solomon in the Old Testament. God gave him wisdom." Zheng Abao said seriously: "He said why not use the name Conservative Party. I will tell you one by one:"

Speaking of this, Zheng Abao had excellent ability to remember discourse, put his hand on the table in front of the official, and held his finger with his other hand, as if he was memorizing the book, and recited it one by one:

1 The purpose of the second party comes from the British Conservative Party. What are the smart people in the UK conservative? The social culture and morality formed by the Christian culture that has been conservative for thousands of years in Britain, such as the rule of law culture, constitutional monarchy, and social morality; but our Song Dynasty does not have this kind of culture at all, so what should we conserve?

If people say that I am good at eating with chopsticks, I will protect these virtues and behaviors, but if a monkey wants to become a human being, he will protect these things too? Isn’t that nonsense? There was no such thing as

Therefore, British conservatism is an unyielding radical reformism here. It does not require conservatism, but requires continuous and unyielding offensive and enterprising.

2. His Majesty cannot say that the meaning of the word conservative is not good. He said that East Asia and the world have entered a new era and will be turned upside down. Even the stubborn monkeys in the Qing Dynasty would fiercely demand change after thirty or even ten years. At that time, conservative was a bad word; because the Chinese people were arrogant and had no evidence to think that they were the best in the world. At that time, the improvement of conservative Christian culture would be mistaken for the ignorant foolish people as conserving the traditional culture of the Qing Dynasty.

By then, they would not like the word "conservative", but instead just wanted to steal a technology or system for nothing. Then overnight, the Chinese and foreigners would be on par with each other, both rich and powerful, so they named it "conservative", which is a stupid act of asking for scolding and creating their own rumors.

3 His Majesty said freedom is a good word, but it is difficult for Chinese people to understand, and Christians may understand it.

He gave an example and said: It's raining. You feel sorry for the wild monkeys who are in the rain outside. If you want to lead them into the house to shelter from the rain, you must put iron chains or put cages on them. This is good for both the owner and the monkey. Who said that the wild monkey is too free and lawless? When the wild monkey enters the house, not only does it not be grateful for the house, but also feels that it is not free to set up a chain and insists on pursuing the freedom of completely lawlessness. Then the monkeys occupy the house, turn the inside into a mess, and make the house the same as the wild land; or the owner kills a group of monkeys and drives them into the rain.

In a word, Your Majesty said that the Chinese people cannot understand the difference between Christian freedom and lawless freedom. They only want to be lawless and others should respect any of their own requirements; but they themselves do not want to give up part of their own freedom to others. Giving up part of their own freedom and respecting other people's rights is their true freedom. Freedom is to give up, not pursue.

Therefore, it is very necessary to seize the word "freedom" as soon as possible, and master the right to define keywords. Speaking of this, he slapped the table and said, "What do you mean by calling me the Liberal Party."

Zheng Abao spoke slowly and frowned, not negating it, and could see that he was remembering every word in the thunderous and electric preceptor speech word by word.

**Official nodded repeatedly when he heard it. When Zheng Abao talked about the first..., he interrupted: "There is this relationship between human beings and God. There is no absolute freedom. Only good freedom can be within the limits of Jesus. Others will become depraved and evil freedom. For example, Christians fail to apply for a job and leave, but the Chinese people will think of giving gifts to the back door. He has one more choice than Christians, and he is more free. This is a great danger. Therefore, our businessmen are definitely not as good as those in the corruption-ridden Qing Dynasty, and bribery freedom is self-destructive."

Zheng Abao finished speaking with difficulty, swallowed his saliva, then slapped the table slowly, and shouted: "Xiao Jin, our countryman with you doesn't understand what it means, but since Your Majesty said, I should take a gun and shoot Liberty, no matter what he is. Ah, Lord, forgive me for saying swear words, Amen."

"Are you still a countryman? Don't pretend." The official laughed.

"I really don't understand," Zheng Abao spread his hands and shouted.

"If you don't understand, you dare to come over to form a party on the front line by yourself?" The official ** smiled and then laughed: "This is the style of our Young Master Bao. No matter where and whoever dares to kill him, he will do it in a few moments."

"Don't praise me, I'm not you talented men," Zheng Abao rubbed his teeth and said, "We are closer than brothers, and I won't hide the matter from you: First, this is what Your Majesty wants to do. In one word, we must go through fire and water in front of us. Having the opportunity to do things for him is a glory that we can't get. This is to be robbed with others, even if you polish your Majesty's shoes; secondly, if you say it deeply, I will definitely not understand Your Majesty's thoughts, but I'll be happy that he wants us to fight against the Democratic Party of Zhong Jialiang, and I will definitely come."

"Why, have you written a French love letter to Zhong Jialiang's youngest daughter?" The official grinned.

Zheng Abao smiled and suddenly said, "It's so hot, why are so many people standing here? It's so hot, I'm still wearing the Qing Dynasty official uniform. There is no hydraulic fan here, so go out. Be cooler and cleaner." He found an excuse to wave his hand and let all his followers go out, and then looked at the secretary standing next to him with a teapot.

When Kim Jong-ki saw Zheng Abao's actions, he immediately said: "Secretary, go to the bedroom to get the box of green tea, so that Xiaobao can take it to cool down later."

Seeing that there was no third pair of ears in the room, Zheng Abao still carefully leaned over and said in a very low voice with disgust: "Although I know that Christians cannot say bad things about others behind their backs, this is related to the safety of the country. Zhong Jialiang's bastard is a threat to the security of our country. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of traitors who cannot let them gain power."

"Traitor? Zhong Jialiang?" The official stared at Zheng Abao and was stunned. Then his eyes lit up, and he knew everything in his stomach.

Because the Emperor of the Sea sacred the country, Western learning and the importance of business are naturally a branch of the national policy. With the support of the emperor, the merchants who were suppressed by traditional culture broke free from the shackles. The economy of the Song State was developing extremely rapidly, and countless business elites emerged on the empire's territory.

However, the most powerful elites are naturally divided into two categories of people for some reasons.

One type is comprador businessmen represented by Zhong Jialiang and others;

One type is local businessmen represented by Zhou Kaiyuan, Zheng brothers, etc.;

As we all know, an important reason for the successful founding of the Haihuang in Guangdong was the support of the great powers. The Haihuang got a poor and backward agricultural country, which created a problem: the people and wealth represented a huge market, but the Haihuang had no available capital to occupy this market at that time.

Without technology, factories, talents, education, or even money, even if you get the country, how will you develop?

Therefore, at the beginning, the first place in the business world of Song State was the comprador business class supported by foreign capital. These people worked in Western industries or acted as agents of capital of the great powers. They could be said to make money for foreigners, but the poor and careless Song State cannot do without this economic model that can bring culture, system, talent, capital and technology.

Among these people, Zhong Jialiang is the leader. His foreign medicine guild is essentially the Song Dynasty monopoly distributor at the end of the global opium trust monopoly chain. He relies on foreign products and capital to stand out.

Zhong Jialiang is a descendant of the Thirteen Leaders, and the Thirteen Leaders was the comprador of the Qing Dynasty. As a result, Zhong Jialiang inherited his father's mantra and continued to be the comprador of the Song Dynasty.

Even if you say that he made money by the monopoly given by the God Emperor, he was bent on the bayonets and money of the great powers behind him, and even the devout Christians and the God Emperor given by God did not dare to let the opium market disappear rashly, otherwise the Great Britain warship would come. Therefore, even if Zhong Jialiang monopolized opium, it was only a less bad helpless choice compared to the free competition in the opium market...
