Xiang Ying's voice was obviously very soft, so low that only Liang Kun and Bing Tai, who were beside him, could hear. These two people did not have much respect for Zai Chun, so they only made small smiles and did not say anything.
However, how could all these escape Xiao Letian's eyes? He glared at Xiang Ying fiercely, his meaning extremely clear. Although I don't understand what you're saying, stop playing tricks, and continue on endlessly?
Xiao Letian turned his head to look at Zai Chun, thinking back to his childish words just now, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Xiao Letian's emotions were very complicated at the moment. According to Zai Chun's identity, he should be glad that this emperor was so childish, because it would be more convenient for him to torture the Qing Dynasty in the future.
But Zai Chun was still his disciple, and the master and disciple pair already had a subtle feeling that was similar to that of a father and son. Xiao Letian was very clear that Zai Chun had actually taken him to fill in the fatherly love that he had lost since he was young.
There was no kinship within the imperial family, and the relationship between the emperor and his children were mostly monarch and officials, not father and son. In fact, thinking about it, it was quite pitiful. Ordinary family fathers would hug their children and play together. They would take their children to visit their homes. They would teach their children how to read and write.
These were all ways to build kinship. Humans were born with emotions. What difference was there between humans and animals?
Although Xian Feng was excited when he was born, it was only the excitement of an emperor. Xian Feng had more important matters to attend to in the country, and more women from the imperial harem wanted to be lucky.
For Zai Chun, it was already very good to see his once every three days. Zai Chun, who was raised deep in the palace, would spend more time seeing his wet nurse and eunuchs than when he was with his parents.
Furthermore, Xian Feng died too early, he was only six years old when he ascended the throne. He was purely a little kid, one could imagine how much of a lack of fatherly love Zai Chun had.
The nineteenth century's psychology was not developed at all. In Xiao Letian's previous life, many psychologists had studied the psychological problems of single-parent families, and the situation was not optimistic. From a psychological point of view, a person without a parent's love could easily cause a deviation in their psychological growth.
This was probably the reason why Zai Chun was so anxious, frivolous, tyrannical and lecherous.
Xiao Letian thought about it, then looked at his pocket watch and knew that there was still some time before dinner, so he hesitated. Still, he felt that he should explain some things to Zai Chun.
Perhaps these words were a hindrance to overthrowing the Qing Dynasty's cause, but these principles were still useful for Zai Chun's growth.
After all, the ultimate dream of Xiao Letian for the Qing Dynasty was to obtain the abdication edict from Zai Chun, and have Zai Chun integrate into the Hidden Dragon Institute's plans to live a carefree and peaceful life as an emperor.
What Xiao Letian wanted was the abdication of the throne, not Zai Chun's ice-cold corpse and the massacre of millions of people in Manchu.
"Zai Chun! "You must remember everything I say next. This principle will follow you for a lifetime, and what I have told you is the truth between nations …"
"Only eternal benefits, no eternal enemies or friends!"
Xiao Letian said resolutely and decisively, "This sentence is very straightforward, everyone understands the logic behind it, but it's not easy to understand it, it's just like what you said just now …"
"What do you mean by not deducing and fighting Britain? Do you think that all the courtesy you received from England represents the friendship between the two countries for generations to come? "Don't be silly, personal friendship is just like a fart when it comes to national interests!"
"Alright, let me explain a little more clearly. What exactly are humans competing against each other? "Actually, it is a competition for resources, and resources represent the right to survival!"
"Food and necessities need to be satisfied by materials, not by money printed out with straw fibers. They are not even hard currency like gold and silver!"
"Don't tell me that gold and silver can buy everything you want. If you want to buy these, you have to at least guarantee that you will get these resources …"
"Think about it! "Join a country where land and mountains are made of gold, silver, diamonds, and jewelry. Do you think this country is very rich?"
Zai Chun nodded his head in confusion. "Of course, of course I'm very rich …"
"NO!" If you ask me, this country is very poor! " Xiao Letian said sternly, "Gold and silver are the earth, do you think crops can grow? Can there still be cotton? "Can we also set up sheep and cattle?"
"When a man is alive, he must solve the problem of living and living. Can the gold and silver be eaten or worn? Can you solve the problem of eating and warming or the problem of cold? You can't, this money must be exchanged for human survival resources! "
"If a country like this only has money and no resources, then other countries with resources will grab him by the neck and use very little rice and wheat to exchange for his mountainous gold and diamonds. Isn't that logical?"
"Then let's return to our current world and face real life. Let's make a hypothesis …"
"If we were to synthesize all the resources produced each year into a single number on this earth, if we were to say that the average value of the resources is one hundred, then the rest would be the allocation of these resources …"
"We put food, steel, non-ferrous metals, rubber, coal, wood, oil... "There are all kinds of renewable and non-renewable resources. If we put them all together, if we get the value of 100 …"
"Of these, the British family ate 30, the rest of Europe ate 30, we ate 20, and the rest of the weak nations ate 20... This is just an example, let me give an analogy! "
"Once this distribution is set, without breaking the balance, you can discuss any peace..." But once we Chinese break that distribution, we go from eating 20 to 30 at once, and we eat 10 more, and people eat 10 less... "
"This is the core of the contradiction between countries. It's the fight for the right to allocate resources …"
Seeing that Zai Chun was frowning slightly, he seemed to understand something, but also seemed to not understand what Xiao Letian was saying, as he lightly sighed and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"Master! I don't think your example has much to do with our friendship with England? Even if we eat 10 more, it doesn't necessarily mean that Britain will eat 10 less? Can't the rest of Europe and the rest of the world eat a little less? "
"As long as the UK can maintain the amount of resources they control, why should they be in conflict with us?"
With a "pa" sound, Xiao Letian snapped his fingers, "OK, that's a good question, let me explain it to you now … "The truth is very, very simple!"
