After the calling card was sent in, and before Shishi came out to greet him, Yu Hezhong's heart was filled with apprehension.
Against the backdrop of the Huaxia Army's defeat of the Jurchen Western Route Army, a victory that caught the attention of the entire world, as an intermediary, he came to negotiate a technology deal with the Huaxia Army that seemed greedy and insatiable. This was one of the biggest events Yu Hezhong had ever participated in.
It wasn't that he was afraid of participating in big events, but he was afraid of being turned away and messing things up. How could he face himself afterward?
Such a big event, and he didn't have much time to prepare beforehand. He was pulled over for a chat, and then he had to come to Shishi to build relationships. Had his relationship with Shishi warmed up to that extent? Could he control it? Wouldn't it be better to have more time to develop and increase his chances of success?
He didn't have the opportunity to express these thoughts. Yan Daolun and others pushed him to the forefront, and the situation he faced was like the final round of a card game. He had been in the public service for many years. If things went well, everyone would praise each other, but if things went wrong, it was obvious who would take the blame.
On the other hand, although he had had feelings for Shishi for many years, and he had considered using her power to climb the ranks, he was not naive.
Shishi had been astute and worldly since her days in Fanlou, and she could see through the intentions of many people at a glance. Now that she had been active in the Huaxia Army for so many years, would she really let personal feelings influence her decision when the time came? Last time, Yan Daolun came to say hello and left, and perhaps it didn't matter much. But this time, the two leaders of the delegation came along. She knew what it was all about just by looking at their names. As long as she sent back a "no time" reply, all the possibilities on his side would be blocked.
He should have made things clear earlier, he needed time...
This was the moment that would determine his fate in the second half of his life. He was uneasy, but he could only pretend to be calm. Fortunately, after a while, Shishi came out to greet him, wearing a light blue home dress. They exchanged greetings, and then went inside.
White clouds flowed in the sky. It was the same small wooden table by the Maha Pond. Because the two people who came with Yu Hezhong this time had special identities, Shishi's expression seemed more formal, but she still had a gentle smile when facing Yu Hezhong. With the thought that either way, he was in for it, Yu Hezhong directly confessed his intentions to Shishi. He hoped to use some connections to inquire about the inside information of the Chengdu Conference before the official negotiations.
Shishi listened to Yu Hezhong's words and sat on the chair, considering them solemnly for a long time. She looked at the two leaders of the delegation, but her final gaze was fixed on Yu Hezhong, her eyes earnest.
"I know that many people are looking for connections in private for this Chengdu Conference, not wanting to be too passive. But... Brother Yu, have you thought clearly about how much danger there will be in participating in this?"
Yu Hezhong frowned slightly. "This... I have some awareness, but... if this matter can benefit both sides, I am also... reluctantly..."
Shishi looked at the other two, her solemn gaze softened after a moment. "Brother Xie, Brother Shi, I have heard of your names for a long time. Shishi is just a woman, responsible for cultural and entertainment work in the Huaxia Army. Originally, I shouldn't be involved in these things. However, firstly, the situation is special; secondly, it is indeed not easy for you to find my brother... I can pass on a few words for you, whether it will work or not is another matter, but I have a request."
Last time, when she met with Yu Hezhong, she only showed sisterly gentleness. But this time, in front of Xie and Shi, her words were quick and her smile was sharp. Xie and Shi looked solemn. "We will obey Miss Shishi's instructions."
"No matter what happens, please be sure to protect my brother."
As soon as she said this, Yu Hezhong felt relieved, knowing that his position in Liu Guangshi's faction was secure. On the other hand, he was also uneasy. According to her, it was as if getting involved in this matter would lead to death. Was it really that serious?
Xie and Shi exchanged glances, and then said, "Of course, Brother Yu is being highly valued by our side, how could we put him in danger..." They made such a promise.
Shishi nodded and smiled. "I will help pass on a message, find someone in a key position, and let you chat in advance. But in today's situation, the two gentlemen must also understand that my Huaxia Army is setting up the game. If you want to make this deal, those who have entered the game and want to take the lead, my Huaxia Army is happy to see this situation. Shishi can therefore help a little, without violating any taboos. However, those who are outside the game are all red-eyed and unwilling to see this deal go through."
She paused. "Since my brother brought you here, I have to make things clear first. Once you enter the field, it will be a win-win for us, but privately, the news will spread. At that time, Liu's family must be mentally prepared for the storm. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but if you are not mentally prepared, then my message will be in vain. It would be better to follow the rules than to argue in private and hurt the harmony."
As soon as she said this, Yu Hezhong understood everything. Ning Yi threw out the technology of Gewu, a big bait to attract all parties, naturally hoping to see all parties actively express their intentions. Liu Guangshi's side wanted to enter the field, take the lead, and even wanted to decide things internally. Ning Yi was happy to see this happen, but he would definitely release the news privately to stir up the atmosphere. He would certainly give Liu Guangshi some benefits, but on the other hand, he and others would inevitably become the target of public criticism. At that time, Dai Mengwei, Wu Qimei, and others who could not enter the field did not know how they would verbally attack his side, and it was difficult to predict what some "zealous people" would do.
Therefore, Shishi first said that she wanted to protect her brother's safety.
She really cared about him... Thinking of this, he felt even more excited.
Xie and Shi exchanged glances and were silent for a moment. "We naturally have a number in our hearts about this matter, but the specific situation is not easy to say. Moreover, Miss Shishi must also understand that we will not admit anything in public, as for privately... everything can be discussed."
Negotiations cannot be too frank, nor can promises be made casually. The two showed embarrassment and spoke cautiously. Shishi clapped her hands and smiled. "Since you are prepared, it is not my business how to talk... Xiaoling!" She called out to the female soldier in the courtyard. "Go to the staff headquarters and find Staff Officer Lin Qiu. Tell him to come over as soon as he is free, there is something."
Hearing this name, Xie and Shi exchanged glances, feeling that there was hope. This young officer named Lin Qiu was not a high-ranking officer in the Huaxia Army, but he was one of the core staff officers responsible for practical work. The delegation had been here for several days, and they often saw high-ranking officials receiving them, but they mostly dodged and brushed aside the specific work. As for some officials in core positions such as the staff headquarters and secretariat who were responsible for specific affairs, they rarely interacted with the outside world. They could occasionally find out about one, but they had no way to contact them.
The female soldier named Xiaoling went and returned. After a while, a young officer in a black military uniform trotted over, presumably Lin Qiu. Shishi apologized and walked over. The officer saluted under the eaves, and Shishi talked to him a few times, occasionally looking towards the lake. Lin Qiu frowned, seemingly embarrassed at first, but after a moment, he seemed to be persuaded by Shishi, and he smiled and nodded.
Shishi waved to the lake. "Hezhong, come over here."
Yu Hezhong walked over, and Shishi introduced Lin Qiu to him, and then introduced him to Lin Qiu, using a rather personal tone and description. "This is my childhood brother, I haven't seen him for many years, this time he is just acting as an intermediary..." and so on. Lin Qiu immediately called him brother - seemingly considering how to address Shishi - Yu Hezhong was flattered for a moment.
After greeting Yu Hezhong, Lin Qiu walked towards the lake. Yu Hezhong and Shishi stayed under the eaves, his mind complex and warm, difficult to express. With this matter, his career in Liu Guangshi's side would be unimpeded. At this moment, he really wanted to join the Huaxia Army and take care of each other with Shishi from then on. But after some rational consideration, he gave up this idea. Thousands of words were stuck in his chest and he couldn't say them for a moment. When he saw Shishi smile at him, he even wanted to reach out and grab her soft hand in his palm.
But Shishi's indescribable temperament finally made him dare not take action.
He saw Shishi looking towards the lake and smiling slightly. "I have already made the connection for this matter, so it is no longer appropriate to get involved in it. But Hezhong, you should still try to go, you have to sit there, listen, you don't have to speak. Lin Qiu has received my instructions and will treat you as one of his own. As long as you are there, they will naturally take you as the leader."
Yu Hezhong looked at her. "I..."
Shishi smiled. "Go ahead, business is important, other words, we can talk about it later. However, you can be there this time, but you must never stand on the front stage in public. The situation in the city is complicated, and anything can happen. They have received my instructions and will not harm you in this way, but if there is such a clue, you must be careful... You can come to me if anything happens."
"Okay." Yu Hezhong nodded solemnly, cupped his hands slightly, and turned to walk towards the wooden table by the lake. Shishi stood under the eaves and watched for a while, then instructed Xiaoling to prepare lunch and a private room for the four to talk conveniently, and then bid farewell because she had something to do.
Yu Hezhong knew that she didn't want to get really involved, so he had to say goodbye with regret. He was a man after all, and although he would be moved by love, career and merit were the most important. Lin Qiu, having received Shishi's connection, first casually talked and understood each other with Xie and Shi. When they arrived in the room, they solemnly took out a document. It was a list of technologies that the Huaxia Army was preparing to release for bidding this time.
In addition to various commercial technologies such as glass, perfume, papermaking, and weaving, a large number of core technologies that made people's eyes red, such as military metallurgy, artillery, and gunpowder, were also listed, and the specific values of these technologies were marked, most of which were one to two steps ahead of the outside world's technology. It really made people feel that Ning Yi was crazy.
The weight of these technologies was difficult to estimate with money, and the ways to purchase them would inevitably be various. It would not be easy to hand them over, and once the time came, it would take a long time to prepare for negotiations. This was also the reason why Liu Guangshi's side wanted to seize the opportunity. Moreover, since they were willing to be the first to respond to the call of the Huaxia Army, it could be regarded as helping the Huaxia Army a lot. Under the condition that the conditions were not outrageous, it was not impossible to internally decide on one or two technologies.
Yu Hezhong understood the significance of this transaction, and his heart became hot. Then he focused his mind on it.
At the same time, Shishi went to another courtyard by the lake and had a simple lunch with Ning Yi in the pavilion by the lake.
"The Liu family has entered the field."
This was the first sentence she said when she came over. Then she told Ning Yi in detail about the meeting process, only mentioning Yu Hezhong occasionally, with some regrets in her words. As a friend, she didn't really want to drag Yu Hezhong into this vortex - although he seemed excited, in the current situation, once there was an accident, ordinary people would find it difficult to get out unscathed.
"He's not your son."
Ning Yi said this sentence, and Shishi reached out and hit him. Ning Yi shook his head with a smile.
"A man is forty years old, he wants to have a career, it is normal for the greater the risk, the greater the return. Even if you analyze all the possibilities to him next, he would probably make the same choice. So, there is no need to think too much. In fact, Yu Hezhong's entry into the game this time is the biggest bargain, it's simply a fool's luck."
"You were prepared from the beginning to let the Liu family enter the field, right?"
"The Liu family is the most suitable, don't you think?" Ning Yi laughed. "Among the large and small forces that have come this time, Jin is related to us from the beginning. The Zuo family is dealing with both sides, but behind him is the Fuzhou court, so he will definitely not be the first to come forward in public. Some other forces are too small, and if we give them benefits, they may not be able to swallow them all. Only Liu Guangshi, an octopus, has dealings with everyone. Only he can take the lead in carrying this target of public criticism, and the effect is the best."
He paused here, and then smiled sarcastically. "When it comes to coming out to take the lead, Xie and Shi are embarrassed on the surface, but they must be laughing their heads off in secret. This conference is doing business, and those who cannot enter the field are led by Dai Mengwei and Wu Qimei. Whoever takes the lead in trading with us, they will come out and reprimand them. But privately, Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei have long had an agreement, one sings the red face and one sings the white face. Whatever benefits the Liu family can get, Dai Mengwei will also get his share, so General Liu is not afraid of being reprimanded at all, they must think they have taken a big advantage in secret..."
"He has taken a big advantage." Shishi looked at him. "You are really selling weapon technology, the army is actually a little afraid, afraid of teaching the apprentice, and being beaten to death by the master in return."
"Selling technology is originally a process of invasion." Ning Yi knocked Shishi on the head with his chopsticks. "I said it years ago, the basic mode of thinking in our Huaxia land is metaphysical thinking. The order of thinking is to first consider the whole and use the whole to guide the details. The basis of Gewu is to slowly expand from the cognition of the part to the whole, to be one is one, two is two, and not to rely on imagination. Technology is secondary, the way of thinking is the main body. Without this way of thinking, learning technology will always be backward. Of course, we can't take them down now, and we can't digest them, so let them help us do some preliminary work, and the future transformation of thinking can be more convenient."
"Liheng really looks down on metaphysical thinking so much..."
"It's not that I look down on it, it's just that each has its own characteristics. Metaphysical thinking starts from the whole, so the ancestors discussed heaven and earth from the beginning, but what does heaven and earth look like? You can't understand it from the beginning, so you have to guess? Sometimes you guess right, sometimes you guess wrong, and more often you can only try and make mistakes again and again... Metaphysical thinking has certain advantages and originality when the guessing of the whole is used in philosophy, but it is very bad in many specific examples..."
Ning Yi waved his chopsticks and babbled in front of his own people. "It's like metaphysical thinking is most likely to produce all kinds of high-end theories that look obscure and awesome. It is most likely to produce a tendency on the first impression. For example, when we see businessmen chasing wealth, we say that it leads people to greed. Once we have the first impression that it leads people to greed, we want to completely block it. Few people can think of treating these factors in greed as good or bad laws to study, what a huge effect will be produced in the future."
Shishi thought for a while. "Will no one farm the land?"
Ning Yi choked. "... It will produce a future called capitalism. Forget it, don't talk about this that you don't understand. But you have already seen the future of Gewu. We used to say that someone wanted to be lazy and wanted to create labor-saving tools, which were ingenious skills, but technology itself is neither good nor bad. The opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching says that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. Heaven and earth have no tendency. The basic principles of all things in this world have no tendency. If you study them thoroughly, you can do good things and bad things. But metaphysical thinking is to see a disadvantage and knock down a series of things, and block a road."
"For example, the dramas you have been doing recently, you will say that it is vulgar to make them look better and better. What is vulgar? In the final analysis, isn't it studying the laws in people's hearts? Everyone has basic laws in their hearts. If you study them thoroughly, you can know what people of every age, every class, and every category in this society like, how can you talk to them, how can you make them go from ignorance to knowledge, from stupidity to intelligence..."
"But there is no always pleasing them, you don't even let us write poetry..." Shishi muttered.
"Now is the time to study the laws, Miss Li. Do you know how heavy the future work is? In the past, one percent of the people in this world were literate and read books. They would take the initiative to read books. Once everyone is literate and literate one day, our job is how to make everyone improve. At this time, books must take the initiative to attract them to approach them. The first threshold in the middle is to find a way to connect with them. From one percent to one hundred percent, how much is this workload? Can you use the previous method?"
"The laws of people's hearts, the objective laws of how a person matures, are the bottom logic for the development of education and culture. A six-year-old child likes to eat shit, why? A sixteen-year-old child likes to watch women, why? Everyone likes vulgarity at the beginning, why? What objective reasons determine it and how can it be changed? If people who engage in culture say a sentence of vulgarity and put vulgarity aside, then he will not be able to do any work next. Vulgarity is vulgarity, but behind it reflects the laws of people's hearts and human nature. It is necessary to dissect them bit by bit... Well, you don't need to care what dissection is..."
The midday sun shone outside the pavilion, like a curtain hanging down. Ning Yi rambled on and on, and Shishi fell silent, gradually revealing a lingering smile. In fact, ten years ago, after Ning Yi killed the emperor and took her to Xiaocanghe, there were often various debates and quarrels between the two. At that time, Ning Yi was more passionate and his answers to things were more general. Now, ten years have passed, and his consideration of many things has become more detailed and complex.
Of course, sometimes Shishi would also wonder why she had to consider it so complexly. The Huaxia Army had not yet entered the Central Plains, and the capacity of the paper-making workshop still needed to be improved, but he had already thought of the scene after everyone could read, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
And for Shishi, if everyone in this world could eat and read, it would be almost the same as the Datong world. Why did he have to consider so many questions? Is there really such a big difference between metaphysics and Gewu?
"... If you could have said these things in Xiaocanghe ten years ago, I might not have left."
Shishi said this sentence, Ning Yi paused slightly, and after a while, he also smiled slightly. He looked at the distance on the lake. "... Twenty years ago, I just wanted to be a rich man, step by step, I had to form a bond with Liangshan, fought Liangshan, said to help Lao Qin a little bit, couldn't help and went to the south to hide, but nothing is so simple, killing the emperor felt that it was nothing more than a rebellion, the more I went forward, the more I realized that there were more things to do..."
He tapped his chest lightly. "The laws of people's hearts, the law of reason, the difference between Gewu and metaphysics, from the whole to the part or from the part to the whole... What will ultimately determine the face of a world is the way of thinking that has penetrated into the subconscious level of the entire ethnic group, decades and hundreds of years, the so-called progress is actually a process of fighting against this kind of thing... Damn it, I'm a real estate seller, why bother..."
He finally shook his head and muttered a few words, and Shishi smiled and reached out to cover his hand. The warm wind blew through the trees by the lake, and the figures were blurred in the messy shade of the trees...
Such good weather, why am I here watching idiots compete? What about Qu Longjun and Wen Shoubin's bunch of cheap dogs...
At the same time, in the afternoon of the same day, Ning Ji was bored sitting by the arena of the martial arts competition when he heard a shout from behind.
"Shoo! Shoo, shoo!"
Ning Ji, with a flat face, turned his head and saw that the stupid strong man who had been injured by a knife yesterday was making such sounds to him outside the fenced arena. "Little doctor, little doctor, come here, come here..."
Ning Ji's lazy eyes on his flat face did not fluctuate at all, and he turned his head back, ignoring him.
Then the strong man flipped into the arena...
