Chapter 200: Talking about the business, talking about the business
Ordinary people who read history books briefly will only think that history is written by the victors, so victory is justice.
But smart people with a deeper vision will understand that the winner is not necessarily justice, but justice will eventually win.
No matter how overwhelming the evil power is, it will eventually decline; no matter how dark it is, it will eventually usher in the dawn.
The great trend is what people want.
From ancient times to the present, there are always more and more winners.
From slave owners in ancient times, to nobles and merchants in the middle ages, to officials, warriors, and scholars in the glorious era.
Because of the development of productivity, more winners are allowed to emerge.
The so-called justice means that those who adapt to the development of productive forces strive for their due position in history.
Supporting justice is investing in the future.
This is Lan Yan's way of business.
He was keenly aware that the classes that would be reclassified as rich and poor had already emerged, and the sprouts of the working class had appeared in Dongyang District, so he was willing to provide assistance to Le Yu.
If it fails, he will not lose anything. Even if Le Yu is defeated, he can lead his troops to Dongyang District again to extort money, and the next president of the Silver Blood Association will still have to give him money; if he succeeds, then he will be the veteran of the labor movement. If the workers
If class truly represents the next historical trend, then it is already on the side of the winner.
For Lan Yan, this is just a cost-effective investment, but the harvest in the future will be infinitely huge.
Of course, Lan Yan's probability of winning the lottery may be less than 1%. After all, if a new class wants to step onto the stage of history, it will have to go through many bloody storms, hardships and setbacks before it can become a winner.
The current status of warriors and officials is the position that their ancestors carved out with their hands and feet.
How can you snatch your own piece of cake from the existing interest groups without killing a person in a river of blood?
And this is exactly what Lan Yan sells.
He is willing to pay for the simplest and most effective panacea in the world: violence.
He can lead his troops to intimidate Heyang's army and pave the way for Le Yu to slowly kill the silver-blooded nobles with his butcher knife and drain their blood.
The meat of the Silver Blood Society, the workers and means of production that could not be taken away, were all eaten by Le Yu and the working class, and he only needed to drink the soup. Le Yu gave those meaningless gold and silver jewelry to Lin Haijun as military expenses.
enough.
In this sense, he actually earned more: when the Heyang Army was defeated, the Silver Blood Society would decline. After all, a place as rich as Dongyang District needs a strong military group to protect it, and the surrounding neighbors, except Lin
Besides the Navy, who can Dongyang District rely on?
The first reason Lan Yan has not led his army to take control of Dongyang is because he is not qualified.
He also has Consul Lü Zhong above him, and Le Yu thinks about it and knows that Lü Zhong definitely doesn't trust him - if it were you, would you trust someone who betrays his mentor and betrays his employer for glory?
But Lan Yan is indeed a talented person, and Lu Zhong felt that he could control him, so he gave him the power to command the three armies. If Lan Yan wanted to set up his own business, Lu Zhong could just give an order and Lin Haijun could leave most of them.
Second, Lin Haijun had almost no reason to take over Dongyang. Even when they violently beat up Heyang troops, they did so in the name of "joint military exercises." This shows that Lin Hai Hai was not ready to engage in unjust warfare, burning, killing, and looting.
Third, notifying a place does not mean that it belongs to you. You have to send people to manage it, and you have to let the people there accept your management. Even if Lan Yan can defeat Xuanzhu County, Lu Zhong’s side can’t even connect the Chenfeng District
They can't handle it. Their political team is simply not strong enough to manage two administrative districts at the same time.
Faced with many obstacles, Lan Yan made a very wise choice as long as he had money.
But if Le Yu can succeed in the future and Lan Yan can handle the 'conflict' between him and Lu Zhong, then he can easily take over Dongyang.
Because those stubborn nobles must have been crushed by Le Yu, Dongyang District does not have reliable military power, and a strong army cannot be developed in a short time, the people of Dongyang have no choice.
Lan Yan's Linhai navy will then be able to serve as the 'incarnation of justice' and the 'savior of Dongyang', and control the Dongyang region effortlessly.
Gain military spending in the short term, gain territory in the mid-term, and become a winner in the long-term.
No wonder Lan Yan wants to stand on the side of justice.
Because the just party is indeed the party that can maximize his interests.
After sorting out all the causal relationships, Le Yu breathed out gently.
Great, I've figured it all out.
Lan Yan raised his glasses: "Young Master Jing, what do you think?"
"You are more suitable to be a businessman than a general." Le Yu said: "The deal you proposed is indeed irresistible."
"Thank you for the compliment, but the same goes for you, Young Master Jing." Lan Yan smiled and said, "You are not a qualified businessman."
"Is there a distinction between qualified and unqualified businessmen?"
"A qualified businessman must be treacherous, deceive, use information gaps to make profits, and most importantly, be ruthless." Lan Yan said eloquently: "To put it nicely, merchants circulate goods to earn the price difference, to put it harshly.
, businessmen deceive sellers and buyers and obtain high profits without producing."
"Since ancient times, wealthy merchants, great merchants, and imperial merchants have all been like this."
"But Young Master Jing, you are different. I heard that the editor-in-chief of Youth Daily is a woman you bought. You are very good at building momentum through public opinion. You know how to manipulate people's hearts. More importantly, you have a conscience and will do this for this."
Act out of conscience.”
"But you are not the illusory justice of Bai Ye. You know the general trend and the difficulties ahead. You do not promote your compassion, but quietly practice your laws with practical actions."
"Stop bragging, stop bragging, talk about business, talk about business."
Hearing Lan Yan, his life-long enemy, brag about himself so much, Le Yu couldn't help but feel a little carried away, and said with a smile: "If I'm not a qualified businessman, then which profession should I do to be qualified? President of a newspaper?"
Lan Yan glanced at him and thundered:
"I think you are a qualified emperor."
Le Yu blinked, but there was not much joy in her heart. Hearing a careerist from a feudal society say that he, a good student, is suitable to be an emperor, is like a MOBA player hearing a butter player say that he is suitable to be a butter hero - I do.
Play the top, middle and bottom three lanes, but my three lanes are different from yours.
"If you are young and don't work hard, the boss will lend you auspicious words, so I will accept your auspicious words."
Lan Yan suddenly said: "Young Master Jing, the feeling you give me is indeed very similar to that of an acquaintance of mine. Chatting with you is indeed very interesting."
Le Yu was startled and said calmly: "Oh? Who is the acquaintance you mentioned? Is he in Linhai? I also want to get to know him."
"There will be a chance to introduce him to you."
Lan Yan knocked on the table: "After chatting for so long, it's time for us to get down to business. Moreover, since your silver-blood companions have been waiting for so long, we should give them a clean and tidy result."
Le Yu felt excited.
"So, Young Master Jing, what do you think we should do with those 'silver-blooded heirs' outside?"
