"No, how can I be unhappy? You think too much. It's getting late. Go to bed quickly." After hearing Xue Pan's words, Xiao Han's body stiffened suddenly, but he recovered in an instant.
Normal, he said, patting Xue Pan on the back.
Xue Pan did not answer, but just looked at Xiao Han steadily. It was not until a long time later that he wiped the tears that overflowed from his eyes, snuggled into his arms again, and nodded gently.
She knew that her husband was like this.
Even if there is a heavy burden of ten thousand kilograms, he will bear it alone and will not complain to his family.
Late at night.
Gradually, even the chirping of insects in the corner became quieter.
As for the noisy cicada, it also screamed and flew away after a "boom" kick on the tree.
In the bedroom, Xue Pan was already asleep.
The moonlight shone in through the half-opened window and fell on her beautiful face. There were scattered tears hanging on her long eyelashes, making her look pitiful.
Xiao Han was not asleep yet. He lowered his head and kissed Xue Pan gently on the forehead. Then he rested his head on his arms and looked out of the window.
Outside, the crescent moon in the sky is still bright.
"Hey... those who know me say that I am worried, but those who do not know me say that what do I want?"
Xiao Han took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. Xiao Han never thought that this sentence would come true for him one day!
Once upon a time, his ambition was to marry a beautiful wife, then live in poverty and wait for death to deal with this for the rest of his life.
But as time went by, Xiao Han realized that he himself had become more and more integrated into the society of the Tang Dynasty.
He is no longer the duckweed-like outsider, but a real Tang Dynasty man of flesh and blood!
Here, there is his lover, his brother, and too many things that he wants to protect.
So, he wanted to change Datang!
He wants the Chinese nation to break out of the vicious cycle of three hundred years of reincarnation!
He wants the Tang people to stand on top of the world forever, so that the Tang people will no longer be bullied by others.
However, everyone can speak empty words!
What is really rare is how to achieve it.
In the past, Xiao Han had also made a great wish: to free all craftsmen in the world from suffering.
Over the years, he has set an example for this and tried his best to improve the lives of those craftsmen. It can even be said that the Xiao family's craftsmen are definitely the happiest craftsmen in the world.
However, when a few years passed, Xiao Han looked back at others and realized that only those people under the Xiao family were able to escape the sea of suffering.
As for the other craftsmen, there seems to be no change from before. They are still poor and at the mercy of others.
It was from that moment that Xiao Han understood a truth: hard work does not necessarily mean success. If the method is wrong, no matter how hard you work, there will be no effect.
After seeing this clearly, Xiao Han thought about it for a long time, and finally realized:
The Tang Dynasty wanted to be stronger, the people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to be richer, and the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty wanted to get rid of their miserable fate.
It’s impossible to just move forward step by step like this!
It must rely on other changes, a radical change, in order to accomplish what he wants.
And this change is the business society!
Because booming business will not only bring money, but also promote the growth of all walks of life, including those at the bottom of the craftsman family, and on the other hand improve everyone's thoughts and lives.
That's why he would acquiesce in Li Zi's almost astronomical profit figures.
This money is not only to help Datang survive the most difficult three years.
It is also to allow the emperor, who is the decision-maker, to also taste the sweetness brought by the fruit of commerce, so that when the world is at peace in the future, he will not do those stupid things that emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
Xiao Han did all this very secretly.
He didn't tell anyone, even Xue Pan, even Old Man Hua, he still didn't reveal anything. It wasn't that he couldn't trust others, it was just that the matter was too involved.
Because the birth of a commercial society will not only give birth to countless new things, but also give birth to another kind of thing.
And this kind of thing is never allowed to be seen by the emperor. Even a wise person like Xiao Lizi will not hesitate to swing the butcher's knife when he discovers this sign, burying everything in Xiao Han's dream.
.
The purpose has been determined.
The next thing Xiao Han did was to complete it.
Choosing Yangzhou was not something he decided on a whim or a snap of his head, but he actually thought about it for a long time before choosing it.
The perspective brought by later generations made Xiao Han very clear that if he wanted to develop business, without suitable soil, everything would be in vain.
Countless rules and regulations have completely imprisoned people's hands and feet.
Not to mention that the Guanzhong people have another thing that gives Xiao Han a huge headache, and that is their firm attachment to the land.
Those Guanzhong people would rather guard the poor land that cannot produce a few kilograms of food all year round than work in a workshop. Even if they make more money from working in a year than from farming in three years!
Fortunately, this is very different in Yangzhou.
A relatively free market, nights without curfews, a lot of idle labor force, and already very active businesses.
All of this made Xiao Han extremely happy, not to mention that he could get another Mo family here.
When he thought of the Mo family, Xiao Han couldn't help but get excited.
Yin Can's appearance suddenly reminded him of a sentence he heard a long time ago:
When you move forward firmly towards your goal, God will be there to help you!
And the Mo family is undoubtedly the help sent by God to help Xiao Han achieve his goal!
For Xiao Han, this sudden appearance of the Moh family not only had strong financial resources, but also had connections all over the world.
More importantly, there are countless novel ideas and many strange people in it.
It is Yin Can’s dream to start classes and teach students and spread Mohist ideas to the world!
As everyone knows, Xiao Han is more enthusiastic about this than him!
In this world where Confucianism is spread all over the world, all scholars have only one idea, and that is to cultivate their moral integrity, regulate their families, govern their country, and bring peace to the world!
But how many people can really manage the country? How many people end up becoming pathetic scholars like Kong Yiji?
(These verses are a bit long-winded. Speaking of which, Coke’s desire to hate others is at work!
I am not criticizing Confucian culture, I just hate the sad idea of those rotten Confucian scholars who want to settle down with a small amount of money!
He put his swords and guns into storage at every turn, put his horse on Nanshan, locked himself up, and lived his own little life. He never thought that the world would always be moving forward!
Later, when the enemy came again, they discovered that the horses placed in Nanshan had long since disappeared, and the swords and guns placed in the warehouse had long since rotted away. At this time, no matter what the saint said, there would be no trace of them.
