Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 717 Their Wish

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV. Yang Chu didn't like the dumplings in front of him very much. Compared with this kind of food, he preferred hot pot or barbecue.

"... Let's say Happy New Year to the officers and soldiers who are fighting for the country on the front line." An emotional voice came from the TV.

Yang Chu yawned. He could imagine that this kind of propaganda model with the main theme hit the ordinary people of Ming very well.The Ming society, especially the native society of the Ming Dynasty, has a lot of ideological trends. The people here have a high literacy rate and a high degree of education, but this makes it easier for them to move or think in one direction. The guidance of public opinion is a very interesting thing .

Yang Chu's real name is Joshua, he is a Jew, but later he moved to Daming and changed his Chinese name.This kind of thing is very common now, especially when he needs to do business in Daming. He needs to be remembered by others. He uses his own name, which is spelled with letters and transliterated into Chinese. It has no specific meaning. Lost to their business competitors.So he decisively changed his name to Yang Chu.

Jews had a very low status in Europe, even though many of them were extremely wealthy.Although Yang Chu feels that there is a certain amount of hidden discrimination in Ming Dynasty, it generally shows that people pay attention to decency, and all people have a high level of education, and pursue social harmony and cultural integration. If a Jew is successful in his career and can speak fluent Ming Dynasty , then he is much more respected in Ming Dynasty than in Europe.

Life in Daming is naturally more comfortable than other places in the world.Here is the most mature infrastructure in the world, with all kinds of up-to-date living appliances. All kinds of running water, power supply lines and even telephone lines are things that were popularized more than ten or twenty years ago. Living in Daming, you can clearly feel that you are superior to others. It is natural to feel that I am a superior person living in a civilized world.

Even though Yang Chu’s son is in a private school, the teachers explicitly forbid students to be divided into different grades. Daming’s value is that everyone is equal, and people are respected because of their achievements, knowledge, morality, or contributions to society and others. Contribution, not from his appearance, blood or origin.

Yang Chu scoffed at this, he felt that some people were born more equal than others, but he would not say that to his children.Several children of Yang Chu are of mixed blood. In order to take root in Daming, Yang Chu did not hesitate to break off his previous marriage contract with the daughter of a wealthy European businessman, and found a girl from a poor family in Daming.

He believes that after such two generations, his descendants will not be able to see the difference in appearance from ordinary Han people, and they will be able to better integrate into this society.Regarding his Jewish identity, Yang Chu has low self-esteem.Although he is still a Jew in his faith, he still celebrates Hanukkah and keeps various precepts.

There was a knock on the door of Yang Chu's house, and the virtuous wife went to welcome the door. The person who came to visit was a compatriot of Yang Chu, Zhao Sinian, who was also a Jew.

"You actually made dumplings at home." Zhao Sinian clicked his tongue in surprise.

Yang Chudao: "The Chinese New Year does not conflict with our beliefs."

Zhao Sinian asked with a smile, "Is it stuffed with pork?"

Yang Chu frowned: "Are you here to find fault?"

"I'm joking, don't take it seriously, Boss Yang."

Twenty years ago, Emperor Ming met a Jew at Lake Baikal. After the Jew returned to Europe, he began to spread various business myths about Ming Dynasty.Subsequently, a large number of Jews migrated to Daming through various means, and like some businessmen in Daming, they formed their own Chamber of Commerce and Merchant Gang.

The Jews did almost any business in Daming. They had a small amount of capital, but they were hard-working, willing to learn, and very scheming. After many years, they could be considered to have established themselves in Daming.

"Boss Yang, your iron and steel factory has made a lot of money in the past two years because of military supplies. In our small circle, you, Boss Yang, have become rich and powerful. Now, everyone is watching that the Western Qing Empire will soon If you are defeated by Ming, maybe the whole of Europe will start rebuilding in the blink of an eye, and become Ming's comfort department. Isn't there a lot of opportunities at that time?"

Yang Chu stared at him, "Zhao Sinian, what do you mean?"

"Everyone hopes to unite, prepare, and take this free ride. European reconstruction is imperative. At that time, it will definitely be a large-scale plan organized by the Commissioner's Office. Public and private enterprises can get involved, but we have nothing to do with those large state-owned enterprises. Compared with some powerful Han businessmen, it is still not close. However, we can do some public relations."

Yang Chu was surprised: "You want to pay bribes?"

Daming is very strict about the integrity of the government, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also very powerful characters, so doing things in Daming is more restrained than in Europe or other places.

"To really improve the status of our Jews in Daming, or to gain greater economic interests, we must participate in political life. It is imperative to make friends with some officials who are friendly to us and exchange some interests. Yes, it will be beneficial to both parties." Zhao Sinian said calmly.

Yang Chu was a little terrified: "How long have we been in Daming? Most Ming people still regard us as outsiders. If some of us do things that do not abide by the law and let newspapers or other media expose it, then we will be out of the country." It is a major blow to the Jewish nation. Keep a low profile and work hard to make money is what we should do."

Zhao Sinian shook his head: "No, we were chosen by God back then. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will rule the world. It will be meaningless if there is no country. Can have very considerable interests and rights. For example, the Zheng family in Dongying, the entire Xuanfu Division is the territory of Ming Dynasty, but the interests of the Zheng family penetrate into every inch of land in Dongying, and can last for hundreds of thousands of years. We Jews have not had our own land for too long Yes, in order to achieve this goal, we must work hard."

Yang Chu scolded: "You are a lunatic."

However, Zhao Sinian was still talking to himself: "There is no better time than now. Europe is in chaos and needs to be rebuilt after the war. Many people have been lost. If we can have enough chips, we might be able to exchange for the re-washing." The card has a good ending like a Jewish Xuanweisi. Think about it, Boss Yang, we can succeed because we Jews help each other in business. If you can't go with us, then everyone will also be able to do it in the future. I won’t consider you one anymore.”
