Discussions on the Internet include preparations for the time-travel itself, as well as policies for future time-travel: including organizational forms, military structures, industry, agriculture, education, political organizations, etc. ．
There will be a large number of updates in the message board of the discussion group every day, and those who have signed up to participate in the time-travel operation can have synchronous discussions at any time.
Parliamentary democracy? Separation of powers? Constitutional monarchy? Totalitarianism? Nationalism? socialism?
Everyone wants to be a theoretician of the new world.
The discussion was very lively, with various views and opinions emerging one after another. It is the dream of many people to be a historical editor to steal the Ming Dynasty and tamper with the Qing Dynasty. But what kind of new world to build is obviously a matter of opinion. From democracy or dictatorship, peace or militarism, parliament or centralization... all the way to the style of clothing, whether to implement compulsory education for all, what language to use in the army to shout drills, and even the title system, there are all people arguing, and saliva and abuse are flying at the same time. , the hat is the same color as the stick.
The Executive Committee has an attitude of not participating in or commenting on the heated discussions. Since everyone is willing to quarrel, let's have a good quarrel. It's better to quarrel now than to quarrel on the beach in Hainan. Moreover, people's true colors are easily exposed on the Internet, and you can further deepen your understanding of these people and select suitable backbone candidates.
It is difficult to say what organizational form and electoral principles this executive committee is established through, and how it selects who can join the committee. This may seem unthinkable to modern people who value democratic power. But there is nothing surprising when you think about it: the time travelers did not actually hold a general meeting during the year-long preparation period, and they never elected anyone to hold office. In fact, this is impossible - the participants are always changing. The active members at a certain meeting may not come out the next time, but new people will ask to join. Xiao Zishan has been trying to compile a list, and it took almost half a year before he basically got his wish. In the unstable state of personnel composition, Wen Desi, Xiao Zishan and Wang Luobin, who had been in charge of the daily preparations for the time travel, naturally became the core of the executive committee.
At this time, they are in no rush to expand the executive committee. Although the three people have different backgrounds, living environments, educational backgrounds, and working environments, they can understand each other in many aspects. When some people asked to report immediately, the executive committee responded in unison without discussion: The current infrastructure is not complete yet, and they have to wait for another stage. They know very well that the more time-travel capital they have accumulated in their hands at this time, the more important their position will be in the future time-travel power structure.
In Xiao Zishan's view, qualifications are always a valuable intangible asset at any time. Especially in such social organizations, the length of seniority often determines the level of voice and prestige in the organization. Currently, they have limited understanding of the conditions of many time travellers. Allowing them to join too early will allow some people to obtain qualifications that are not commensurate with their abilities, which will be detrimental to future work.
Wen Desi's consideration is more realistic: the most indispensable thing in this time and space is impetuous and bombastic people - people who fail to succeed and fail more than they succeed. The best way to filter out these people is to spend time with their whims.
Of course, this period of silence cannot be too long. The preparation work involves too much professional knowledge and skills, and the three of them cannot handle it anyway. The executive committee needs fresh blood. After a small meeting, I decided to wear it again without further delay and get enough money to start substantive preparations.
"My master has given instructions. When the masters are here, please change your clothes first. The masters will come out in a moment." A steward greeted them respectfully into a small courtyard.
The yard is small and exquisite, with sparse flowers and trees, very elegant and quiet. On the table, there are several wooden plates, and all the clothes, towels, shoes and hats are available.
Wen Desi and the others didn't know that Mr. Gao had gifted the mirrored powder box and some rare items to more than a dozen dignitaries who had known contacts, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire city of Guangzhou. Glass mirrors, not to mention common people, even wealthy people in general, have heard a lot about it but have rarely seen it. Not to mention the box itself was unheard of. There is an endless stream of suitors in his shop. A compact box of ten taels each was sold for fifty taels and was sold out immediately.
Mr. Gao has been selling foreign goods for more than 20 years, and although he has made a lot of money, this is the first time he has shown his face like this. The colleagues who visited him in the past two weeks have really fulfilled the saying of stepping through the threshold. Everyone wants to learn from him where the goods come from. This group of merchants who have been in the sea trade for a long time naturally know that no matter whether it is Franji, Hongmao or English merchants, there is no such thing, and it is not the latest shipping schedule for them.
The most likely possibility is that new overseas merchants came to Guangzhou, and Mr. Gao took over this merchant. While many people are regretting why their eyes and ears are so closed, there are also many more suspicious characters wandering around high-rise houses and shops. This made Mr. Gao wary. Although he had Eunuch Yang as his backer, no one in Guangzhou was easy to offend. Now that I am more careful, I have put aside the matter of buying a house entrusted by Wen Desi for the time being.
At this time, Gao Ji could no longer care about the suspicious nature of these people. The greatest characteristic of a businessman is the pursuit of profit. What he was most worried about was that the Australian maritime merchants were too conspicuous, which was why he made this arrangement. He didn't want people to know the details of his supply - this huge wealth must be firmly in his hands.
Wen Desi and Wang Luobin looked at each other and roughly guessed what Master Gao had in mind. But it suits them to be unobtrusive. Changed clothes immediately.
It's just that I really have no idea how to wear these Ming Dynasty clothes. These few are not Hanfu lovers, so after struggling for a long time, they finally put them on. The steward outside came in to deliver tea. He was so embarrassed when he saw that the scarf and collar were crooked, so he had to call a maid to help him change clothes.
The wealthy families in Guangdong have a habit of keeping maids. The people in charge also know that these merchants are the ones that the master deliberately wants to make friends with, so the maids he summons are naturally good. Both of them were girls of fifteen or sixteen with bright eyes and good eyesight. They were pretty and charming. Fu Yifu came in and came up to help them take off their shabby clothes. Mr. Wen could be regarded as someone who has experienced some romantic scenes. He was supported and rubbed by such a loli's soft little hands, and he was a little overwhelmed by taking off his clothes and belt. He thought to himself that this is a man's paradise!
While he was thinking wildly, he saw Xiao Zishan also looking fascinated. Then he laughed softly and said:
"Why, are you tempted too?"
"Yes, this is how a man should live." Xiao Zishan thought of his girlfriend's domineering spirit: Feudal society also had a bright side.
"Why not!" Wang Luobin also angrily said, "Modern society is full of rituals and joy." As he said this, he complained about the behavior of his wife, who graduated from the Department of Physical Education. His anger was beyond words, allowing Xiao Zishan and Wen Desi to fully understand her. The power of a wife.
Two maids stood aside and saw Wang Luobin talking non-stop, but they couldn't quite understand what he was saying. They could only see him gesticulating with excitement on his face, and the scarf he had just put on was crooked and hanging on his forehead. , all lowered their heads and pursed their lips, smiling.
Xiao Zishan poked the impassioned Wang Luobin: "Wang Gong, what do you think of this little girl? Tell Master Gao and take her back?"
Wang Luobin shook his head repeatedly: "Junior high school student, how could I do this!"
"You can do it to high school students?" Xiao Zishan continued to tease him, "Keep it up for now, and you will be familiar with it in a few years..."
"Are you planning to develop a lolita program?" Wen Desi intervened, "I'm quite interested." He looked the girls up and down: although these two girls were a little thin, they were It's fairly fair and has a delicate appearance. If you strengthen your nutrition, you'll be a good child...
When the big bad wolf's eyes were wandering around the little white rabbit, the curtain was raised, and Mr. Gao walked in proudly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile. This group of sea merchants have been in and out of wind and waves for many years, and when they come ashore, they are all hungry ghosts. Not to mention those red-haired Frenchmen - all kinds of women want them.
But he didn't say much, he just bowed his hands and said, "How are you, our distinguished guests, always doing well?"
