"How is the national situation of Japan?" Hong Dashou changed the topic.

"It's not good. It's even poorer than our country!"

“Poorer than our country?”

"Yes!"

Li Xizhu could only move his whole body with his mouth, so he couldn't move it with force. It just happened that he could show off in front of Hong Dashou, so he said it happily.

By the 19th century, the poverty situation of the Edo shogunate and various feudal lords had almost become worse. The most exaggerated one was naturally the famous Satsuma clan, which owed as much as 5 million taels of gold, and the annual interest alone cost 80 gold. Wan Liang.

What is the apparent annual income of the Satsuma Domain? One hundred and forty thousand taels of gold, which is only enough for one and a half months' interest!

Other famous names are also very poor and can only increase the oppression of farmers to increase the income of the country.

And because they had no money, everyone from the shogun to the daimyō became shameless. They issued an order that was rare in the world to save their rule.

Economic loan dispute lawsuits will no longer be accepted!

It's roughly equivalent to not paying back the debt, and it's a matter of course. I borrowed the money and am the uncle. Anyway, if I don't pay it back, I don't have the money to pay it back. If you, a moneylender, dare to attack you, I will chop you to death with my samurai sword!

Great or not!

Although it has indirectly eliminated most of the debt, it is still a reality that there is not enough money. The burden on farmers is naturally getting heavier and heavier, and life must be very difficult.

Of course Hong Dashou knew something about it, but he felt that although what Li Xizhu said was true, farmers in the Li Dynasty also had to give 50% or more of their income to the government.

In his opinion, Li Xi was probably driven by national sentiments. They were all peasants under cruel feudal oppression, and there was no way they could live a good life. They were just trying to make a living, and they could only live one day at a time.

"Everyone in the world is in the same poverty!" But Hong Dashou still agreed with Li Xi, saying there was nothing to argue about.

"Brother Hong, since you are in the second class, why don't you become an official? If a warm-hearted and talented person like you becomes the prime minister, the people's life will be easier."

"Hahahaha, brother Li, you are also a businessman who has seen the world. Can you become an official now? Is it easy to pass the imperial examination?"

"With Brother Hong's talents, can't he pass the exam?" Li Xizhu said, after all, he had never been exposed to this kind of imperial examination.

"How can you pass the exam without money? How can you pass the exam without money?" Hong Dashou sighed.

"Is it money? If you have money, you can become an official?"

"If you have money, you must have family background and connections."

“Can’t we buy birth and connections?”

"Of course you can buy it, but it may not be for sale."

"Brother Hong, how much money do you need to become prime minister?"

"I'm afraid I don't want one million taels of silver! Hahahahaha..."

Hong Dashou was just joking. The future prime minister will be directly equal to Jin Zuchun for twenty years and will not change. Unless his daughter, who is now the princess, suddenly dies and then chooses another concubine.

When the two national relatives are raised up and the two powers fight, it is possible that a compromise will result in an empty prime minister.

"One million silver? I will definitely earn money for Brother Hong and make you the prime minister!"

Of course Li Xizhu was steadfast in his oath, but Hong Dashou just thought it was a joke. Not to mention that he could not buy the prime minister at all, just one million taels of silver was already a huge and almost terrifying wealth.

One million taels of silver are piled up, and the real thing is a mountain of silver, a mountain of silver that can bury people alive.

"Then I'll ask Brother Li!" Hong Dashou simply got up and helped Li Xi pull the quilt and move the pillow for him to make it more comfortable.

"Brother Hong, look back! The place we are in now is the best in the world! And the Prime Minister is the best official in the world! Do you think we are taking care of each other? It's just the right time."

Hey, what Li Xizhu said is true. He just happened to be in the top position in the world, and he was talking about the top official in the world.

"The coincidences in this world are truly unspeakable."

"Even God is hinting to us that you will definitely become the best in the world, don't you think so?"

"Are you number one in the world?"

Hong Dashou was noncommittal. The emperor was also a member of the official family, and the Tian family was just the first official family. Isn’t the first official in the world the first king in the world? Isn’t he the emperor?

Is this really a hint from God?

"Okay, okay, you've said enough for today, let's drink some water first." Hong Dashou said, helping Li Xi up, leaning against the carriage of the carriage, and fed him two mouthfuls of water with a gourd.

"Don't dare to drink more, it will be inconvenient to urinate." Li Xizhu really only took two sips and did not dare to drink more. After all, he has limited mobility now and it is not easy for him to urinate.

For the next six days, Hong Dashou and Li Xizhu were slumped on the cart, chatting. Li Xizhu, who was inexplicably grateful to Hong Dashou for saving his life, now admired Hong Dashou even more. .

Anyway, what about success studies, chicken soup for the soul, Carnegie’s thirty principles of life, and Rockefeller’s twenty living habits? But bragging about it with Li Xi, who can be afraid of bragging and criticizing Hong Dashou? Anyone can survive. I'm blowing you to death, let alone fooling a twenty-year-old Li Xi.

Besides, those chicken soups for the soul do sound like that. What website didn’t Hong Dashou read before he traveled through time? You don’t need to know too many routines. One link after another, one after another. Even Li Moumou must do it every week Things like having family dinners at home can be related to business and people.

In particular, doing business is not about making money, but about earning people's hearts. It should be able to benefit everyone generally and win-win for all parties. It should have a long-term vision and not care about the small profits in front of you.

Anyway, Li Xizhu has been successfully brainwashed into becoming Hong Dashou's fanboy, and he almost obeys Hong Dashou's words.

"Stop chatting, we will pass through Tongzhou soon!" Jin Douji, who had been holding the horse beside the carriage, warned.

"Is it Tongzhou? It's only a few steps away from Yanjing."

"That's right, so the supervisor ordered the entire group to speed up and arrive at Yanjing tonight."

"This journey lasted almost a month. It was really not easy." Hong Dashou sighed when he heard that Yan Jing was in sight.

"Mr. Hong, you came here lying down, it's not easy!"

"Go, go, you try lying down, I'm going to fall apart on this carriage."

In fact, Hong Dashou had recovered a long time ago, but why not use it when he had such a good opportunity to go to Beijing lying down. Jin Douji, who had been waiting beside him, could see clearly. Now that he was suddenly exposed, Hong Dashou blushed. Cover it up quickly.

"Brother Hong, we are arriving in Yanjing soon!"

"Yes, Yanjing is the best in the world!"

(I just said yesterday that I hope all the brothers and sisters will give me a hand, but I didn’t expect that I, a little unknown writer, had already gathered the first Silver Alliance Leader in just one day, and the second one had also stepped forward. Small steps.

Here I shamelessly continue to plead with the brothers and sisters who have the spare capacity. If you can give me a hand and push me to the sixth channel or even Sanjiang, I will never forget my deep gratitude in this life!

When I woke up yesterday, I saw 22 transfer records on WeChat, 7 transfer records on Alipay, and several WeChat and password red envelopes. I suddenly woke up.

Almost all transfers do not have a note.asxs.ID or Bilibili ID, but instead, cheers, support, and take care of your body. If it is so heart-warming, I can’t even sign a thank you. Although the name on Alipay is a real name, this should be

Nor can it be revealed.

Now I don't even know how to say thank you, I can't even say a single extra word.
