In Chinese history, intellectuals and scholar-officials are linked together, and scholar-officials are the ruling class, so becoming an intellectual means joining the ruling class.

China has always been dominated by people in society, and the social status of the ruling class is self-evident. Even the seventh-rank magistrate is the "parents and officials" of the people. For example, Li Mu, the "emperor" who wants to receive Western education, has a bright future.

So it is understandable that Lao Yantou's family is feeling.

It’s a pity that the hopes of Lao Yantou and his family are destined to be shattered. Li Mu will definitely not return to the Qing Empire again. Lao Yantou and his family will not be able to enjoy the enlightenment brought by Li Mu to become the "new rich man in the empire".

There is no need for Li Mu to explain his plans to Lao Yan and the others. People's vision will always improve with the improvement of their own cultivation. According to the Qing government's plan, Li Mu and the others will have to stay in the United States for more than ten years. After more than ten years, Lao Yan and the others will be used to living in the United States. At that time, maybe even if Li Mu wants to return to the Qing Empire, Lao Yan will be unwilling to do so.

The "slave" status of Lao Yantou's family was only useful in the Qing Empire. In the United States, Lao Yantou and Li Mu had no legal bonds. At most, they had an employment relationship with Li Mu and had no affiliation. Therefore, Li Mu did not mean to let Lao Yantou's family make cattle and horses. This would make Lao Yantou's family more loyal to Li Mu.

At this stage, Li Mu's promise is still very valuable. When the old Yan family came to their senses, they immediately started to enter the role. Li Mu was firmly invited out of the bedroom by Miss 10,000 US dollars, and then Miss 10,000 US dollars, and Miss 10,000 US dollars, and Miss 10,000 US dollars, and Miss 10,000 US dollars, and Miss 10,000 US dollars, and Miss 10,000 US dollars, and her two brothers followed behind Li Mu and stood loyally in the corridor on the side of the ship. Of course, the position of standing is also particular. Yan Hu and Yan Shun stood on both sides of Li Mu and Mike separately. Yan Hu was standing on the side of Mike. This has dual significance. It not only protects Li Mu, but also monitors Mike. Lao Yan was standing behind Li Mu, snatching his hands and lowering his eyebrows, and a standard close-fitting butler.

Although Old Yan wanted to act as a housekeeper as possible, the action of lowering his eyebrows, his eyes, his shoulders, and waist were still full of vulgarity, which made Li Mu very helpless.

This is also the national condition of the Qing Empire. Even Lao Zheng, who is around the little fat man, is strictly speaking, a servant of the little fat man's family. Although his status is definitely much higher than that of the old Yantou family, he is also the kind who will be beaten to death as long as the head of the family is unhappy. It is not much higher. This leads to the slaves generally having no self-esteem and confidence, and it is normal to pose in such a posture.

But Li Mu was not used to it, so Li Mu decided to hire an etiquette teacher for Lao Yantou's family in New England, which is even more important than a language teacher.

Well, it's all about the same, please let me know together.

The change of the old Yantou family in Mike's eyes made Mike even more surprised. Although Mike didn't know what Li Mu did to the old Yantou family, Mike could clearly see that Li Mu is the center of the old Yantou family now. The old Yantou family would protect Li Mu like protecting their own family, and even shed their blood to protect them.

"It's incredible that you have many secrets that always make you surprised." Mike sighed with a shaking head.

"Everyone has a secret-" Li Mu didn't want to talk about this issue, so he brought the topic to the drawings bought by Mike: "What are you going to do next? Take the drawings to apply for a patent, and then buy someone and then charge a steady stream of patent usage fees?"

Li Mu was talking about what was done under normal circumstances. If it weren’t for the tight time and heavy tasks, Li Mu originally planned to do this.

"No, no, that doesn't maximize the profits. I want to open a weapon factory myself. Since you are proficient in weapons, you should know the profits." McCe's appetite was greater than Li Mu imagined, and was not satisfied with the little profits of patent usage fees.

"Do you want to become an arms dealer? This is a very good ideal." Li Mu fully affirmed it.

"Of course, you come from the Qing Empire and you should know the current situation of the Qing Empire. No matter how many weapons you have, you can sell it for a good price in the Qing Empire-" Mike said not in detail enough.

In fact, it was not just the Qing Empire, but also the entire Far East and even the entire world, the demand for weapons was urgent, because the clouds of war enveloped every corner of the world, and there was almost no kingly land in this world.

The most urgent thing in East Asia is the arms race between Japan and the Qing Empire. Since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, Japan's national strength has risen rapidly, and the demand for modern weapons is urgent.

Relatively speaking, the Qing Empire was more urgent. Although the Qing Empire had carried out the Westernization Movement for more than ten years, it had not yet achieved any results. Moreover, the Qing Empire had more troops, so it needed more weapons.

The situation in Europe is also serious. The contradiction between the imperial countries led by Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia and the democratic countries led by Britain and France is becoming increasingly greater and more important, and it has almost reached an irreconcilable point. In two years, Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia will form a "Three Emperors Alliance", which will be the prototype of a military group. If it continues to develop, it will be a world war.

In Mike's eyes, although Li Mu has many secrets, he comes from the Qing Empire, an ancient and closed country, so he may not have a clear understanding of the situation in East Asia, let alone Europe. Mike doesn't even think that Li Mu knows the specific location of Europe.

Li Mu didn't show off and just stood on the stance of his friend to give Mike personal advice: "Then you must pay attention to the application of new technologies. If you do it well, you will have the opportunity to become part of those famous families."

The family history of the United States is enough to write a novel, but no, it is enough to write many novels. It can be said that the United States is a country controlled by a consortium. The US president on the stage is a cover, and the consortiums behind the scenes are the decision makers who decide American policies.

Li Mu’s ideal is to become a part of the “behind the scenes”.

Mike attached importance to Li Mu's opinions, and even said something flattering in his tone: "So I want to have a good relationship with you. If there are similar drawings, we can continue to cooperate. I will give you a price that satisfies you."

Look, when you don’t ask for Li Mu, you use “you”, and when you ask for Li Mu, you use “you”. This American is really hypocritical.

"The drawings must be there, but they will not be a price of 500 US dollars. You should know that you have taken a big advantage in our cooperation." Li Mu is not polite and lays the groundwork for future price increases first.

"Hahahaha-no problem. As long as I can afford it, I will definitely meet your requirements, and even make you a shareholder of the company." Mike generously said that this was the intention of inviting Li Mu to invest.

Being an arms dealer should be very good at it, and the profit is no smaller than that of real estate.
