That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 223 Wen Leyu: We are grasshoppers on the same rope
Li Ye's hesitation gave the three people in the box a feeling of "predicting what would happen next and waiting to hear the next chapter", which was very uncomfortable and unpleasant.

Wen Leyu would never force Li Ye, and the nanny Xiaoliang didn't have the face, so...
"guess?"

Guo Donglun laughed and said with a bit of "contempt": "I know a few scholars who are interested in learning. They also like to speculate on international trends. So you, Li Ye, are actually so good?"

The method of provoking generals, the absolute method of provoking generals.

Li Ye saw through Guo Donglun's little thoughts at a glance.

Of course, Guo Donglun didn't want to hide his little thoughts. I just provoked you and you were cowed.

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Let's change the subject of explanation to a less sensitive one! Do you know about the Confucian cultural circle?"

None of the three people answered, but looking at their eyes, Li Ye knew that they might know about the "vassal state", but they did not understand what he meant.

"The Confucian cultural circle is a circle of cultural exchanges that centers on the historical flower-growing empire and radiates to all directions. You can also think of this exchange as penetration and invasion."

"For example, the country on the northern peninsula, one of the Four Little Dragons, was once one of the areas radiated by our civilization.

Even though they are now much richer per capita than us, if you look at his ID card or household registration, there must be a name written in Chinese characters on it.

If you learn more about it, you will know that their laws are written in our words.

Because if written in their words, many strict legal creeds will not be interpretable, that is, they cannot be explained clearly, and you will not be able to figure out what crime this criminal should be sentenced to."

Wen Leyu, Guo Donglun and Xiaoliang were all a little surprised.

In 82, there were not so many information dissemination channels for ordinary people to enjoy, and this kind of thing was not deliberately publicized. If someone had not been in Nanbang, they would naturally not understand this kind of knowledge.

Li Ye continued: "This situation is the power of the Confucian cultural circle, and this is only the residual version of the power."

"Remnant version?" Wen Leyu asked, "What does this mean?"

"It's just the remaining power of the deceased!" Li Ye sighed: "A few hundred years ago, our land was the center of the Confucian cultural circle.
From the [-]th Parallel in the north, to Malacca in the south, to the Fusang Kingdom in the east, and to Suiye City in the west, these are the spheres of influence of our flower growers. "

"In such a large circle, everyone is full of respect and yearning for flower growers. They think that everything about us is good and everything is right.
They will admire our language and culture, identify with our habits, envy our strength, and even learn our social system. "

"."

At this point, Wen Leyu and Guo Donglun suddenly woke up.

System is a taboo topic.

Li Ye did not look at their surprised looks and continued: "For example, the Fuso Chrysanthemum Kingdom, when they were in the Tang Dynasty, they sent us a large number of envoys to the Tang Dynasty. After they returned, they reformed their social management system.

Needless to say, Goryeo in the north is directly our vassal state, and its power structure is also deeply influenced by ours. The Luzon State in Nanyang pays homage to our emperor every year and calls himself a minister."

"You stop."

Guo Donglun interrupted Li Ye and asked seriously: "What you mean by these words is that we will be radiated by the culture of Lighthouse and changed into... by them?"

"."

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds and then said with a smile: "So, this is just my guess! After all, it is the leftover thing from our ancestors' play. I don't know if others will like it or not."

"But I have met several people who have returned from overseas. They always tell everyone how wonderful overseas is and how superior overseas society is.
Isn't this just like the envoys who returned to Goryeo and Fusang from Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty? "

"There were also poor beggars in Chang'an City who had no food to eat, but the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty only saw the romantic and talented people on the balcony.
There are also bankrupt homeless people in the lighthouse, but some people only see the executive elite of Manhattan. Why is this? "

Guo Donglun asked a popular cross talk actor directly: "Why is this?"

"Because they are all excellent people," Li Ye said: "If you want to be an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, you must be a capable person with lofty ideals selected from Fusang and Goryeo. You can't pull a lazy guy from the village and send him to the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"These people are intelligent and resilient. No matter what environment they are in, they will never settle for being ordinary.
From the moment they set foot on any land, they will look upward.

The cloud is their goal, what does it have to do with them under the mud? "

"."

Wen Leyu suddenly moved his chopsticks.

"Okay Li Ye, stop talking, I'm hungry!"

"Huh? Oh, let's eat and eat. Look at me talking so openly and talking nonsense."

Li Ye was stopped by Wen Leyu and felt that he had gone too far. He smiled and greeted Guo Donglun and Xiaoliang to eat.

But Guo Donglun and Xiaoliang didn't move their chopsticks and just watched Li Ye and Wen Leyu eat.

[I’ll just watch you eat it. Are you embarrassed to eat it?What about storytelling?Are you still hanging me in the middle? 】

But looking at it, Guo Donglun and Xiaoliang were both surprised.

These two young men are really good at eating!

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ye and Wen Leyu were so particular about their food, Guo Donglun would have laughed at them for being reincarnated as ghosts who died of starvation.

An eight-inch plate makes it difficult for one person to enjoy three dishes.

Although the small blue and white bowl is not big, are you finishing one bowl after another?

This is soup, not water.

The appetite of Dongshan people is not exaggerated. Compared with the black soil of Shaanxi and Gansu, it may not be obvious, but if compared with the south of the Yangtze River,
Anyway, when Li Ye went to the south to eat in his last life, the restaurant owners would make strange expressions.

It is really difficult for ordinary families to support this child.

Guo Donglun took a moment and said softly: "When I was in the army, I had two comrades from Dongshan. They were also very good at eating. I originally thought it was a personal characteristic, but now it seems that it may be a regional characteristic."

Li Ye didn't stop using his chopsticks and said: "Yes, we Dongshan people do have big stomachs, just like our temperament, we are open-minded!"

【You are so open-minded! ] Guo Donglun cursed secretly in his heart, but waited with a chuckle on his face. It was not until Li Ye and Wen Leyu were full that he asked what was in his heart.

"Since you have guessed the danger of cultural radiation, have you guessed how to deal with it?"

"Do you still need me to guess this?"

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "There are many ways. We have actually used one method in the past few decades, and it seems to be effective so far. The other is to defeat them."

Guo Donglun: "Defeat them? What exactly do you mean?"

Li Ye said seriously: "It means literally, economically and culturally, defeat them openly and with real swords and guns,"

“When our people eat better than them, dress better than them, and use better things than they do, why should we be afraid of infiltration?

By that time, the Confucian cultural circle will be resurrected again, and it will be time for everyone around us to learn Chinese from us. "

Guo Donglun asked doubtfully: "Is it enough to let our people eat well, wear well, and use well?"

"What do you mean this is enough?" Li Ye said with a smile: "This is not simple. We have one-sixth of the world's population! And this is only the first step.
In short, we are all pebbles caught in the torrent. If we can make a splash, this life is worth it. "

"."

Guo Donglun fell silent, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said to Xiao Liang: "Give me a bowl of rice."

"Oh!"

The nanny Xiao Liang hurriedly served him rice. After drinking so much wine, he only ate a little bit of the food, so he hurriedly brought him a bowl of rice as a cushion.

Guo Donglun ate two bowls of rice carefully, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and stood up to say goodbye.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I may stay in the capital for a few more days. If anything happens, you can find me at the Great Wall Hotel."

Li Ye stood up and said strangely: "Are you going back so early? Didn't you come to the capital to talk to me?"

Guo Donglun said calmly: "Didn't we talk about this before?"

Li Ye: "."

The four of them left the restaurant, and the driver of the Volga hurriedly got down and opened the door, letting Guo Donglun and the nanny Xiaoliang sit on them.

Of course, the nanny Xiaoliang gave him a tip of 20 yuan when he came, otherwise he wouldn't be so diligent, let alone wait here for so long!
After Guo Donglun left, Jin Peng and other talents showed up again.

Jin Peng said: "Xiaoye, how was the conversation?"

Li Ye said: "It's hard to say, he will stay in the capital for a few more days, just adapt to the situation!"

Jin Peng's heart did not fall, but he could only send Li Ye and Wen Leyu back to school first.

After returning to school, Wen Leyu took Li Ye for a walk by Weiming Lake and said to him: "You talked to him too much today, making him feel that we were persuading him to continue to cooperate.

There is no need for us to lower our posture. We love ourselves as much as we want, so why are we afraid of him? "

Li Ye smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of him anymore. I just think he's a bit interesting. Since he has so much free time, I'll help him find something to do. Maybe there's someone to go with him?"

"Isn't it me who is traveling with you?"

"Oh, Xiaoyu, you are the one walking arm in arm with me, you are different from others."

"嘁~"

Wen Leyu rolled his eyes, and then asked Li Ye: "Are you deliberately planning to strengthen Pengcheng No. [-] Factory just to compete with those consortiums?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "Absolutely! You have to do something to make life meaningful."

Wen Leyu chuckled and said, "When you took the Economics Department, I thought you were going to become a billionaire! It turns out that your ambition is much greater."

Li Ye said in surprise: "You are right! Being a billionaire does not conflict with having great ambitions."

"."

"Okay, you said so much one night and I was so moved. So you actually have this idea?"

"Wow, I forgot that you are a reserve D member! Xiaoyu, you won't catch me to collect the reward, right?"

Wen Leyu kicked Li Ye several times on the calf, and said with claws and teeth: "Catch you to receive the reward? Do you want to catch me too? We are two grasshoppers on the same rope, who can outrun the other?"

"."

. . . . . .

Guo Donglun and Xiaoliang arrived at the Great Wall Hotel and checked into a room with a letter of introduction.

Xiao Liang fulfilled her duties as a nanny, helping Guo Donglun wash his face and feet, and waiting for him to rest.

Then Xiao Liang suddenly said: "What Li Ye said today is a bit exaggerated."

Guo Donglun said: "It's a bit exaggerated, but I have nothing to do now, so it won't be a problem to play."

Xiao Liang glanced at Guo Donglun and said nothing more.

Although Guo Donglun said it was just for fun, Xiaoliang felt that he was serious.

She turned around and went out. Guo Donglun behind her said again: "Call Lao Liao and ask him to get me a Crown car. Please come in the right way."

All right!He was indeed serious.
