The topic shifted to the deterioration of East-West relations, as well as trade frictions and sanctions.
And the trigger of all this was because Ye Feng killed Hans.
For a time, many businessmen on the plane also spoke out and complained.
The implication is that it's okay to fight, but it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, as long as it doesn't affect their business and make a lot of money.
As the saying goes: The bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!
This sentence is vividly reflected in the group of businessmen in front of me.
Since ancient times, businessmen have been profit-seeking. In the face of huge interests and wealth, even upright people will be corrupted and destroyed.
Therefore, in ancient times, four levels were divided into scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and merchants were placed at the bottom because their contributions to the country were not worth mentioning compared to the wealth they earned.
The self-interest, profit-seeking and extravagance of wealthy businessmen are fine in peacetime, but once they enter troubled times, they will be fatal.
Listening to this group of businessmen talking about family and country affairs, Ye Feng couldn't bear it any longer and retorted sharply: "Do you only care about your personal interests and ignore the safety of the country?"
Personal interests, national security! ?
As soon as these words came out, all the passengers on the plane were startled. It seemed that they did not expect that there would be people here to oppose them. Why are they pretending to be arrogant?
Shouldn’t the safety of the country be considered by the ministers of the DPRK and China? What does it have to do with a group of them doing business?
Many people know a saying: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!
But few people know that the original text of this sentence is: To protect the country, the king and his ministers are meat-eaters; to protect the world, how can a common man be held responsible?
In short, it means that the rise and fall of Daxia should be something that all officials in the imperial court should consider and worry about. If the Chinese civilization is destroyed, all talents in the world will be responsible.
In the ancient Song Dynasty, there was a similar saying: Ruling the world with scholar-bureaucrats is not the same as ruling the world with the common people!
Of course, these are ancient stereotypes and are incompatible with the modern civilization of Daxia.
However, some ignorant people deliberately confuse it just to avoid their own responsibilities.
Nowadays, Western science and technology is developing rapidly and is about to replace all civilizations in the East. But these businessmen in front of them are still thinking about their own petty profits?
This made Ye Feng couldn't help but feel the helpless emotion of a business girl who didn't know the hatred for the country's subjugation, but still sang about the flowers in the backyard across the river.
Immediately, this group of businessmen laughed shamelessly.
"Now that our personal interests have been damaged and we can hardly survive, how can we care about the country?"
"A family is a country! Doesn't the court serve us all?! Now, who is responsible for the losses we have suffered because of the court's wrong decision-making!"
"That is, to be treasonous, even if the court is gone, our business must be done, and people have to eat! It is even better to make a war fortune. But I am afraid that we will be in a deadlock like this now, which will affect our Business!"
Listening to the refined and self-interested remarks of the businessmen, Ye Feng couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the armrest heavily and angrily said: "This is complete nonsense!"
"Without the strength of the country, how could you have the peace and tranquility you are experiencing now?"
"When the Qing Dynasty was poor and weak, no businessman could make his business bigger or stronger, because no matter how big the business was, in the eyes of foreigners, it was just a lamb to be slaughtered, ready to be harvested at any time! "
"Now, you are able to do business in any corner of the world without any worries because you have the Great Xia court supporting you! If foreigners want to harvest you, they have to weigh the consequences!"
"The nature of this world is that the weak will prey on the strong after all! Whoever has the bigger fist will be justified!"
"Now, you have only suffered a slight loss, and you are complaining and complaining here. How can you be worthy of the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line!?"
"Without the various war gods from the Nine Provinces showing off our country's power outside and intimidating Xiaoxiao, you businessmen would be like lambs to be slaughtered outside without even realizing it!"
Ye Feng's words left everyone speechless.
Although these businessmen pride themselves on their business talents, they have to admit that they really need the protection of the court outside.
The reason why the foreigners were able to reason with them and be willing to deal fairly was because behind them, the imperial court of Daxia supported them.
Because they have met their counterparts in other small countries, they have encountered endless price reductions and demands for feedback when signing contracts. However, because the country is small and the people are insignificant, they can only accept it.
Privately, the businessmen of those small countries were very envious of the merchants of Daxia. No matter where they went, they were full of confidence and fearless. They also expressed emotion that they wanted to be reincarnated as Daxia people in their next life.
"Even if what you say makes sense, we have also contributed to the court. We have provided jobs and taxes!"
"I said, young man, which side are you on? If you don't stand on your own side, why are you talking to the court instead!?"
Among this group of businessmen, there are many who like to criticize the various policies of the imperial court in order to appear unique and gain the respect of everyone.
But today, I actually met someone who criticized them from the perspective of the imperial court. I was really not used to it for a while.
