What exactly should be the heights On the way back to Springfield, Li Mu kept thinking about this question.
Obviously, for Li Mu now, the original ideal is no longer challenging, even if Li Mu starts to do nothing and wait for death from now, with the shares of Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company, and the patent royalties of smokeless gunpowder in the near future, Li Mu can become a "super apartment" without much effort.
Even for blocking the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Li Mu is now confident that as long as Li Mu maintains this development trend and has stronger and stronger economic strength, one day, Li Mu can influence the US Congress.
Influencing the U.S.
Congress It sounds like a fantasy, but it is not impossible, and it is very likely, American democratic politics determines the attributes of the US government, and this government is to serve those supergiants in the United States, such as Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan in the future, these people are more important to the United States than the president of the United States.
Think about whether Bill Gates in the 21st century has any influence on American society The answer is obvious, and Rockefeller and Carnegie they are definitely more influential than Bill Gates in the 21st century for the United States in their time, the most intuitive concept, if calculated according to the GD of the United States, Carnegie's wealth at its peak is equal to 5.6 times that of Bill Gates, and Rockefeller is even more terrifying, and his wealth is more than six times that of Bill Gates. 1872 was indeed a good year, this year Carnegie's steel company had not yet opened, Rockefeller's Standard Oil had just opened for two years, although Morgan had earned the first pot of gold by speculating in gold, but Li Mu did not plan to open a bank, so he could not deal much with Morgan, so the current Li Mu still had time to make waves in the United States in the future.
Then the question is back to the original point, what exactly does Li Mu want. got off the train and went to Zhang Leye's house to change to a carriage, and Li Mu's question was answered.
Li Mu found Zhang Leye a big house with more than ten rooms, and Zhang Leye's family lived here more than enough, but when Li Mu came to Zhang Leye's house, he was surprised by the scene he saw.
Li Mu knew that Zhang Leye's family had two children, one child was slightly older than five or six years old, and the other child was still young, and now he couldn't leave his mother's arms.
"What's going on" Li Mu asked Zhang Leye in a little surprise, and casually stopped Yan Hu from dispersing the children's behavior.
It is the responsibility of Yan Hu and Yan Shun to take care of the horses at home, including cleaning the carriage, Yan Hu and Yan Shun inherited the habit of being diligent and thrifty, and took care of the horses and carriages at home always very carefully, and refused to fake their hands to others.
"Don't be surprised, it's still to blame me, some time ago because I died, and now those guys can't find me, so they sprinkle their anger on other Qing people, during this time there have been more than a dozen families who have been poisoned by them, not to mention the beating, even the house was burned to the bottom by them, and now the weather is getting cooler, we adults don't care, the children can't stand it, I'll take everyone over, anyway, after a while, these people will go to work in your factory."
When Zhang Leye explained, his expression was quite apprehensive, this is the house that Li Mu found for Zhang Leye, without Li Mu's permission, Zhang Leye let people live in, a little self-made.
Springfield is located in the north temperate zone, warm in summer and cold in winter, cold in spring and autumn, Springfield in October, the highest temperature during the day is about 20 degrees, and the night is not more than 10 degrees, this temperature is pleasant for adults, but it is indeed a little cool for children.
"You did the right thing, what kind of people are there in them" Li Mu didn't blame Zhang Leye, but he was a little sad about his misfortune and angry.
In fact, the character of most Chinese people has always been to be kind and valuable, even if they are bullied, most of them are because people swallow their anger under the roof, and they do not have too strong extreme ideas to protect their own interests.
There is a reason for this kind of thinking, in fact, the Chinese have never lacked the spirit of resistance, which can be proved from the frequent people's uprisings in Chinese history, but for some reason, the Han people have to swallow their anger to survive, which also creates a fact, it seems that the Chinese are very cowardly, even if they are bullied, they do not dare to fight, so in many cases, the Chinese are angry bags and scapegoats.
Li Mu can't tolerate this kind of thing, as a member of the Chinese, Li Mu will not take the initiative to bully others, but he will never swallow his anger, Li Mu believes in a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye, if you want not to be bullied, you have to be more vicious than those evil people who bully people, only in this way can you protect your own interests and protect your family.
"They are all ruffians and scoundrels, there are more than ten of them, and the most wicked of them are simply perverts, they make a living by extortion, even those poor people who really have no money, they take pleasure in bullying people, many times they just want to have fun, they can fire someone's house."
Zhang Leye also gritted his teeth when he mentioned those people.
"Leave this matter to me, you know them, if you are asked to identify them, do you dare" Li Mu wanted Zhang Leye to surrender his name, as long as Zhang Leye dared to identify those guys, then Zhang Leye would be tied up with Li Mu for the rest of his life.
Li Mu is still a little cautious and excessive, people in this era have an understanding of the word "loyalty" that people in the 21st century can understand, after listening to Li Mu's words, Zhang Leye did not hesitate to determine: "Dare" If you dare, Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, got in the carriage and returned to Riverside Town, and discussed with Will how to let those guys learn a lesson.
"Lesson" Will was a little surprised after hearing Li Mu's words, and the expression on his face was disdainful and justified: "It's all scum, cleaning them up is to eliminate harm for the people, there's no need to be too entangled and wait for a few days, and find an opportunity to get rid of those people in a few days." ” Will really didn't care, and said it lightly, and didn't take it to heart at all.
"What kind of rifle association is really troublesome, look at this, I'm going to train that militia, and organize a shooting competition, our president actually wants me to find a sponsor, really, I'd rather go fishing than get involved in these troubles" Will grumbled at the mention of the rifle association.
The current rifle association has not yet shown its due strength, so it seems that it is not reputable, and it is normal for Will not to look down on the rifle association.
But Li Mu didn't see it that way, and when he heard Will's complaints, Li Mu seemed to smile: "Do you still want to compete for the chief of the Springfield Police Department, just take a snack if you want, this association is far more powerful than you imagined." ” "Of course the Director does."
Will subconsciously swallowed.
Just think about it
