Sent Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing all the way outside the house.


    Qian Sihai''s face showed a relieved smile.


    Qian Rushan was puzzled and asked, "Dad, your mood... Seems very good?"


    "It''s very good, Rushan. Do you know what''s the most important thing for businessmen like us?"


    Qian Sihai turned and walked towards the garden in the house. At the same time, he asked.


    Qian Rushan followed Qian Sihai. After thinking carefully, he said, "protect yourself? Keep a low profile? So as not to be stared at?"


    "No, it''s no use keeping a low profile when we have money. Sihai bank has been open all over the week. No matter how low-key you are, others will still remember you. Once you need money, you will be the first one to think of."


    Qian Sihai shook his head and then said, "so for us, money actually doesn''t make much sense. On the contrary, more and more money may eventually become a fatal disaster. The status of businessmen is too low. Even if we spend a lot of money every year, we finally have some influence in the Imperial court, but this influence is still unstable."


    "Once something really happens and involves us, it is almost predictable that we will be abandoned. After all... What an attractive piece of fat. With enough money but not enough strength, it is a model of being slaughtered."


    Speaking of this, Qian Sihai sneered and continued: "it''s like raising pigs. Da Zhou keeps our Qian family and allows our Qian family''s business to continue to grow. He even escorts us sometimes. He doesn''t worry that our Qian family has amassed wealth to the extent of being invincible."


    "Why? Because this pig... As long as Da Zhou wants to kill it, he can kill it at any time! The fatter he raises, the more meat he will get after killing. By the hand of our Qian family and through our Qian family''s ability to do business, he gathers the wealth of the world. Once there is a need, he weaves some accusations. These wealth will become the wealth of the imperial court in an instant. And the wealth of the world The common people will only scold our Qian family for being rich and unkind. In the end, only the imperial court represents justice. "


    Qian Rushan shivered and subconsciously repeated, "raise... Pigs?"


    "Yes, raising pigs. So the most important thing for businessmen at our level is to find a really useful patron! Different businessmen will be watched by different people. Small businessmen may only be watched by city guards, while large businessmen will be watched by Prefects. Businessmen at our level will be kept in mind."


    Qian Sihai smiled with self mockery and joked: "isn''t it ridiculous? Being simple in the heart of the emperor, many officials begged but couldn''t, but we businessmen with low status enjoyed it. But... This kind of simplicity in the heart of the emperor is almost tantamount to a life reminder."


    "Your Majesty has a broad mind and lofty aspirations. He wishes he could make a prosperous world in his lifetime. Therefore, he has never stopped fighting all over the world and conquering the West and East. However, the great Zhou Dynasty... After all, it has only been established for less than 40 years. The accumulation is still small. This kind of wanton militarism will be a problem sooner or later."


    Qian Rushan blinked and said in amazement, "Dad, do you mean... Now the big week has reached a very dangerous situation?"


    "Of course, what is the war? It''s logistics, money and food. Every war will consume a lot of money and food! Your majesty has emptied the national treasury of Dazhou in recent years. It''s difficult to continue to support even the continuous apportionment and tax increase. On the contrary, due to the increasingly serious apportionment and tax increase, people''s life is difficult. Even if there are a little natural and man-made disasters, they will have to face The desperate situation of food shortage. "


    Speaking of this, Qian Sihai stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, narrowed his eyes and continued: "it has been nearly four months, but God has not had even a rain. Such a severe drought is rare in a hundred years, but it happened at this time. Summer is about to pass. Even if it is estimated according to the best situation, there must be no harvest in autumn."


    "It''s really hard to live this winter. God knows how many people will die this winter without enough food. What''s more, the grassland is short of food every time it needs to spend the winter. Basically, it will happen when it invades South and grabs food. Think about it. Even life will become a problem at that time. What will happen to this country?"


    Qian Rushan looked stunned. After being stunned for a while, he said, "but Dad, don''t your majesty understand this truth? Even if your majesty is confused for a moment, there are so many people in the hall, someone can see clearly."


    "Of course your majesty knows, but what? The Zhou Dynasty dominates the world. No matter the grassland gold accounts in the north or the 100000 mountains in the south, they can''t pose a real threat to the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, in the face of the temptation of opening up Xinjiang and expanding land, what is it to die some people?"


    Qian Sihai continued with a mocking look on his face: "our Majesty''s heart of the eastern expedition is well known all over the world. The previous failure of the eastern expedition was regarded by our majesty as a great humiliation and almost a demon. Therefore, no matter what happens, it will never stop the eastern expedition from happening step by step."


    "As for the adults above the court... They are basically all the nobles left by the previous four countries. How can they care about the life and death of the common people? War needs to mobilize a large amount of materials. As long as it happens, they have a chance to fight. War means military merit, which is the favorite thing of the generals, so no one will try hard from top to bottom Prevent famine. "


    Qian Rushan thought for a moment and hesitated, "so Dad, you mean that once the situation worsens, your majesty is likely to cut us in order to ensure that the eastern expedition will not be affected and stabilize the domestic situation?"


    "It''s not possible, it must be! Our rich family is the best in the world. If we don''t kill our fat pig when we really need it, who can we kill? As long as we kill us, the exhausted Treasury will be filled again. Many problems will no longer be problems. If it were me, I will kill them!"


    Qian Sihai said with a smile.


    "Your so-called gambling brother Jiang..."


    "Remember you told me before that everyone in Lin family village is a martial artist?"


    "Yes, what''s the matter?"


    "It''s nothing. It just makes me have some associations. On the premise of these associations, I''m willing to gamble. Anyway, not gambling is dead. The difference is only sooner or later. If gambling... At least there will be a glimmer of vitality!"


    Qian Sihai narrowed his eyes again, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes!
