When they returned to the octagonal platform, the people here still had numbness on their faces. The tragedy in Sanhuai seemed to have nothing to do with them. They should not eat enough, they should not wear enough, they should not wear warm clothes, or they should not wear warm clothes. Occasionally, when they looked at Wang Yi, who was riding on the horse and walking side by side with Zhang Jingxiao, they were surprised, mocked, afraid, and disgusted. It seemed that at this moment, their eyes were considered to be alive.

In front of the Zhang family's mansion, Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande went out to greet him. When they saw Wang Yima, they came up in person, clasped their fists and bowed: "Brother Wang is a famous doctor. He is worthy of being a famous doctor. He can save the world and cure diseases and save lives. The style of Xinglin is worth learning from."

Wang laughed apologetically and said he didn't dare to take it or take it, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He was so stupid that he didn't hesitate when he was dividing the fields of the old Liu family. Now that I remembered that I thanked me, why didn't I say that I would have some benefits? But if I think about it carefully, I didn't seem to have done anything except bandaging the wounds of a few injured villagers.

After entering the mansion, the Zhang family still set up a banquet. There were not many people on the table this time, only Zhang Quanbao, Zhang Quande, and Zhang Jingxiao. There was no rule on this table that he would not speak. Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande were very enthusiastic and asked Wang Yi about foreign affairs from time to time.

Wang Yi is also very good at doing things. After taking another sip of the soup, he smiled and said, "I haven't been in the mansion these days. I wonder how Mr. Zhang is in a state of illness?"

After hearing this, Zhang Quanbao smiled and said, "Thank brothers, Hongfu, under the treatment of you and Doctor Zhao, it is no longer a problem."

Wang Yi knew in his heart that it was completely impossible to cure Mr. Zhang's angina pectoris in this era. Now it can only be called relief. As for when the disease will occur again, let's talk about it later. Later, Wang Yi talked about the general treatment principles for stable angina pectoris, and the Zhang brothers wrote down one by one.

After drinking and eating, the four of them came to the study. After sitting down, a servant offered tea. Wang Yi had no research on tea. Before traveling through time, he would end up drinking some flower tea in the hospital occasionally.

Putting down the teacup, Zhang Quanbao said at this time: "Brother Wang, the strategy you mentioned to save the Northeast last time was not finished because of the three arms. Can you continue this time?"

When Wang Yiyi heard this, he remembered this and smiled and said, "Actually, I had basically said it all the time last time. We can do nothing to save the Qing court. Even if you can move into the center, the result will not change at all."

Zhang Quanbao nodded, pondered for a while, before continuing: "Brother, I have something unknown, so I hope you will ask for advice in person."

"Please say it."

"My brother has said before that Japan has carried out the Meiji Restoration... I am a little confused. Since Japan can have the Meiji Restoration, why can't our Qing Dynasty follow suit?"

Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "Japan is different from the Qing Dynasty. They do not have millions of jobs and need hard-core crops supported by the Han and other ethnic groups. In fact, I think it is already surprising that the Qing Dynasty system can last for so long. The reasons are nothing more than three strategies of closure, fooling the people, and suppression. It may be okay to rule a country in this way two hundred years ago. But in today's era, it is a daydream. The British came, the French came, the Russians came, and the Japanese came, and even those countries with big boozes came. They also wanted to close the country and implement the policy of fooling the people. It would not work! This door was open even if it wanted to open. If they didn't want to open, they would explode with foreign guns, cannons and warships!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Quanbao sat on the chair. Although he didn't say much, Wang Yi could see that his hands were shaking slightly because of anger. But Wang Yi didn't mind continuing to sprinkle salt on the other party's wound.

"After all, although the masters in Sijiu City are also the masters of the Qing Dynasty, they are even more the masters of the bannermen. Although the openness of the people's wisdom and the closure of the bannermen will be destined to cause more dissatisfaction among the Han people. When the interests of the people in the world conflict with the interests of the bannermen, the people in the Qing court will not stand on the standpoint of the people and lose the interests of the bannermen. But in the world of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people still account for the majority. If the bannermen want to maintain their rule, they must eventually rely on external forces."

"My brother means..." Zhang Quande, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly realized.

"Foreign people!"

It was not Wang Yi who gave the answer, but Zhang Jingxiao who had been standing behind his father. When he heard the answer from his son, Zhang Quanbao obviously stiffened his body, his face turned depressed, and he opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Suddenly, silence fell into the study, and Wang Yi held the tea cup and pretended to suck the tea. In fact, he felt very pitiful to Zhang Quanbao. If it weren't for the two defeats in the Opium War, and if it weren't for the Yingkou of the Litong Trading Port, a scholar like Zhang Baoquan who had been embezzled and tampered since childhood, would be difficult to accept the collapse of his faith.

Zhang Quanbao's head seemed to be filled with paste. Wang Yi sitting in front of him looked like a painted skin in the Stories from a Chinese Studio. He looked like a 18 or 9-year-old waiter, but there was a deep feeling hidden inside that no one could guess. Every sentence he said on the surface was reasonable, but in fact he wanted to let the Zhang family take a path of treason and deceiving the king.

"What should I do...? To arrest him and report to the official, or just walk along the way with him to the dark?"

Zhang Quanbao's thoughts were in conflict, and for a moment, the heavens and man fought.

Wang Yi didn't know that he was on the verge of being betrayed by Zhang Quanbao. In fact, he was also wary of the Zhang family. In addition to the Type 95 rifle in the cloth bag, he could also take out the Type 92 pistol and a grenade at will.

Zhang Quanbao, who was in his forties, did not disappoint Wang Yi. At this moment, what was coiled in his mind was the world map drawn by Wang Yi and the history of the rise of major powers. A sense of crisis that had never been seen lingered in his heart.

"Brother Wang, what are your plans in the future?"

Wang thought for a while and said, "It's a shame to say that the country is about to fall. I want to open a small company..."

The company is a local Chinese vocabulary this time. It was originally from Confucius' "Datong" and "Biography of Ci": "The public means the wealth of several people. The officials means the transformation of fortune." Zhuangzi said: "The accumulated problems are high, the small is large, and the merger is the public means the company." The statement is basically the same as the meaning of modern companies, that is, collecting the wealth of many people and operating together. The joint-stock company in the modern sense first appeared in the Netherlands, which is the well-known Dutch East India Company.

When Zhang Quanbao heard that Wang Yi wanted to start a business, he frowned. When he asked Wang Yi about his future plans, he was actually asking about the Northeast's self-protection method. But the answer given by Wang Yi now was that he wanted to do business, which made him feel a little unhappy. No wonder, in the eyes of scholars... it should be said that in the eyes of scholars of all dynasties, they were all people with low status, and most of the words related to them were greed, cunning, price gouging, and wealth making in the country.

Wang Yi couple could understand that from Tian Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period to the usurpation of Qi in the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin during the Warring States Period, not only had money, but also food. If power was given again, it would be easy to say during the Taiping Period. Once the center changes, the rulers would probably not be able to sleep when they think of these big merchants! To be honest, in the feudal dynasty era, the powerful big merchants were really prepared for rebellion and had unique advantages.

"Brother, are you..." Zhang Quanbao obviously wanted to persuade Wang Yi that in the troubled times, he should take the world as his responsibility, so what's going on to do business?

But Zhang Jingxiao suddenly said, "Does he want to control the economic lifeline of the Northeast?"

This time, not only Zhang Quanbao, but also Zhang Quande was surprised, but also Wang Yi was surprised. Speaking of which, when Zhang Jingxiao accompanied Wang Yi to save people in his arms, he begged Wang Yi to talk about something abroad. At that time, Wang Yi said that the person who said that was unintentional, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jingxiao was intentional.

At first the topic was pound, then talked about paper money, and then mentioned the strong promoter of European paper money, John Law, the Scotsman who firmly believed in prosperity, was issued. This guy is also a legend, and he was positioned as a convicted murderer, a prison escaper, a greedy gambler, a flawed super financial genius. He was once the chief steward of the French treasury and loved by all France. He was the maker of the first stock market bubble, experienced the rise in asset prices, and experienced the first cycle of economic prosperity and depression in the modern sense, that is, the economic crisis, which indirectly caused the French Revolution. He once owned a quarter of the land in the United States, but he lost all his money in the first great collapse. Later, Wang Yi also talked about the establishment of the Dutch East India Company, because John Law was living in Amsterdam at the time. Then he extended it from the Dutch East India Company, talking about the modern corporate system and the significance of the existence of the company.

After experiencing the initial surprise, Wang Yixiao said: "I don't have such great ambitions! But I know that if I want to save the Northeast, I can't do it without money."

This is the truth. Zhang Quanbao also admitted that he had seen it now. His son had been deeply influenced by Wang Yi in just a few days. Some of them he didn't understand yet. Zhang Jingxiao also saw his father's doubts at this time, so he told the story of the joint-stock company that Wang Yi told him again.

"I didn't expect the company to have such a huge role!" Zhang Quande sighed.

"What business do you want to do with your brother?" Zhang Quanbao asked at this time after reaching a consensus on opening a company.

"Paper mills, printing factories, grain and soybean oil processing plants, and animal husbandry plants. If possible, they will also open a cement factory and a glass and utensil manufacturing plant." Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "This is what I planned for the first year."
