C668 Business Action (1/2)

After that small lesson, Xiao Letian did not give any other small lessons for more than half a month. Everyone was depressed and hung up, especially the little emperor who had been working exceptionally hard since that day in his military training. The eleven year old child, Taro Shimadzu, had originally given him some care, but Zai Chun did not want anything.

A child of eleven years old and a child of seventeen or eighteen years old were undergoing military training of the same intensity. If not for Dragon Lord giving him Chinese medicine to recuperate his body, Zai Chun would have been exhausted long ago.

His studies were top-notch among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, but the difference in his body was also very famous. Wild history said that Zai Chun died from Flower Willow Disease, and the true history said that Zai Chun died of smallpox.

No matter how much he died, just look at the portrait of the Zai Chun Emperor that was left behind by the later generations.

Thanks to these three months of military training, when the summer heat wave had swept across Ryukyu, Tongzhi had already changed. His skin was black and his body was strong, and some muscles could be seen on his arms.

But during this period of time, Zai Chun's mental state was not good, the terrible situation of the Ming Dynasty's destruction was still lingering in her dreams. Many times, he had dreamt that the Hall of Supreme Harmony would collapse, countless thugs would rush into the Forbidden City and kill all the people inside, while he himself hanged himself on the top of the mountain like Chong Zhen.

What was even weirder was that in his dreams, his Master Weng Tonghe, whom he had always trusted, had suddenly become an executioner with a butcher's blade in his hand.

A child over ten years of age was exactly the period when his outlook on life was being shaped. At this age, who knew if it was his luck to meet Xiao Letian or not.

Shang Tai was equally shocked. He did not read much of the Confucian classics during this period of time and had instead read all kinds of Xiao Letian's lecture notes painstakingly. Most of his private visits he made were to meet with merchants.

and the other university students who were about to leave the country, even more so, forgot to eat and sleep to study during this period. During the final preparation period before leaving the country, they all held various small vows in series, even made blood oaths to return together, and used their own strength to fight against those bureaucrats.

The Prime Minister has already said, thought is immortal, no matter good thought or bad thought is eternal in the human society. All we have to do is strive to make good thought the dominant position of society.

”To put it more clearly, we, the newly awakened scholars, must work hard to be good at ourselves, make our group more powerful, make our influence more and more powerful. We are the role models. Let everyone see for themselves just who we should trust.”

”I swear that during the period of studying abroad, I will not be greedy of the prosperity of foreign countries, will not relax my desire to study, will not waver in my loyalty to the prime minister, and will not be tainted by all the filth of bureaucratic thoughts …”

”I swear, I will do my best to work hard for the revival of the nation. I will burn myself to illuminate others …”

In the classrooms, various small societies were gathered together, swearing in the candlelight. The day of their departure was approaching.

Maybe it was because of the students' intentions, but the Prime Minister's private lesson records were actually spread out. Before leaving Ryukyu, Hu Xueyan held onto the thick stack of written documents, and cried like a child.

Every word from the political figures was extremely important, so since ancient times, emperors, including future presidents and the like, had to be careful of their words and actions.

Perhaps the President would be able to talk big, but a real leader of the military might not be able to say a single word.

Because all of these things will become evidence for the citizens to guess your governance, the speech in Xiao Letian's small class has already determined the future pattern of Ryukyu's mercantilism. All the merchants in East Asia who heard it were elated.

Reusing merchants would definitely help them. Actually, Xiao Letian didn't need to help them excessively, as long as his army could provide them with protection, it would be fine. Sometimes, merchants only needed a bit of safety.

As soon as Hu Xueyan returned to Jiangnan, he began to secretly link up with his close merchants. According to intelligence sent by the spies in the Discipline Hall, after seeing the words of the Prime Minister, the countless Big Merchant in Jiangnan cried like children. A thousand years of grievances have been completely washed away today.

Many merchants began to send their clan's core members to the Ryukyu to inspect. During this period of time, Manager Fan Lian had been so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground, and countless of companions were invited to the daily banquet.

Hearing was believing, but seeing was believing, Jiang Nan's rich merchants had already tried to move to Ryukyu at that time. After that, under Xiao Letian's secret order, they set up a naval live ammunition drill, and the Shouli City fired three cannons consecutively.

Battleships, turrets and the battle cries of the new army were earth-shattering. The toughness of the new army left the merchants from all over the world dumbstruck. During the training, there was even a foreign merchant ship saluting with cannon salutes.

All the merchants were dispelled by the reality. The God of Fortune in Jiangnan had just gone through a campaign against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and now was a time of cowardice. Many people were trying to move their wealth to Shanghai.

However, at that time, the Chinese people were not as passionate and charming as they were after noon. Compared to the Shanghai Concession, the Ryukyu s of the same species were much more attractive.
