After hearing Xu Changqing's words, everyone here fell silent. Although they were all attracted by Xu Changqing's words, they were worried that if things were not successful, their family business might be lost after working hard. In addition, the Four Books and Five Classics they learned since childhood made them feel that things like rebelling and establishing a country were obviously not something that merchants like them could do. After talking and thinking about it over and over again, they all felt that the harm was more harmful than good, so they all said that they had withdrawn and decided to deal with the problems between the Chinese and the natives according to the old methods before, and then stood up one after another and walked out of the conference room. Even Feng Jiusheng and others left the conference room with everyone, and soon Xu Changqing and Guan Poming were left.

"Boy Xu, your plan to establish a country is not just a temporary plan, right?" Seeing the last person leaving, Guan Poming suddenly said in a deep voice: "It sounds like it has been planned for a long time."

Seeing everyone leaving the room, Xu Changqing did not show any frustration, as if he had guessed that these people would make such a decision. However, when Guan Poming asked about the origin of the country, a wry smile appeared on his face, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes, saying, "This plan for establishing the country was planned for Master Liao Tianyi Pavilion when I was fifteen years old."

"Lord Liao Tianyi Pavilion?" Guan Poming was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Is it the one who laughed at the sky with my own sword and stayed in Kunlun with my own heart and courage?"

Xu Changqing nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Mr. Tan was sent to Taohua Mountain for treatment by a friend of my teacher because of illness. I also became friends with him because of my admiration for Mr. Tan's personality and talent. At that time, the Qing court signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the national strength declined. The Netherlands, which occupied the South China Sea, was defeated by Britain and France, and withdrew from the South China Sea. It can be said that it was in a chaotic world. So I planned this plan for Mr. Tan to establish a country and wanted to save the country in a curve. However, in the end, Mr. Tan did not adopt my strategy and insisted on the king of the north. He was a stubborn person, always loyal to his country, his people, and his king. In the end, he was so loyal that he had no brains. It was really a pity, alas, alas, alas, alas, alas, alas!"

"Although Mr. Tan is just a secular person, his character is far beyond most practitioners, which is really admirable." Guan Poming couldn't help but speak out for Tan Sitong, and then asked: "Your plan just now was just a rough idea, and there seemed to be some details that didn't say."

"Since those people don't even agree with the general idea, what's the use of talking about details?" Xu Changqing answered, standing up and preparing to leave.*

At this time, Guan Poming suddenly asked with a serious expression: "Boy Xu, tell me honestly, if you follow your plan, how sure are you able to establish a country in Nanyang?"

"Linguo?" Guan Zheng and Luo Xuan happened to walk in. After hearing Guan Boming's words clearly, their faces showed a look of horror, and they exclaimed in unison.

Xu Changqing ignored the two of them, but stared at Guan Poming. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said: "Senior Guan, do you want the Guan family to enter the world and overcome the tribulation like the Demon-Slaying Lin family and the Bai Miao and Song family?"

Hearing Xu Changqing's words, Guan Zheng was shocked and was about to ask Guan Boming, but Guan Boming raised his hand to stop him. He signaled that he would stay outside with Luo Xuan and not ask more questions. Although Luo Xuan was dissatisfied, he still left the room with Guan Zheng as Guan Boming's intention. When only Xu Guan and the other two were left in the room, Guan Boming said bluntly: "As Changqing said, the Guan family did decide to enter the world like the Lin family, but our Guan family has no foundation in Nanyang. In addition, the family has been in isolation for many years, and the situation is not very good. He can only rely on the Lin family to barely maintain it. Although the Lin family is sincerely helping each other, my Guan family is a thousand-year-old family after all. It has always been a matter of relying on others. So I hope Changqing can help you in the friendship between you and me so that the Guan family can overcome this difficulty."

Xu Changqing looked at Guan Poming's solemn expression. He felt in his heart that the Guan family was indeed in a crisis, otherwise he would never be so humble to ask others with Guan Poming's arrogance. Not to mention the grudges between the previous two generations of idlers and Guan Poming, just based on the friendship between Xu Changqing and Guan's family, it is impossible to sit idly by this situation. However, Xu Changqing seemed to have some concerns and said in a deep voice: "Although the Guan family is in the secular world, he can be in the world. Because of this, the Guan family can pass on the inheritance for thousands of years. This time, the Guan family must have moved the whole family. If this is the case, after the disaster, it is impossible for the Guan family to be in the secular world like before. The Guan family may be more contaminated by the secular world. The thousand-year-old cultivation family may have cut off their inheritance after a hundred years. Has the Guan family considered this?"

"Of course I have considered this clearly." Guan Poming did not hesitate and replied: "The elites of the Guan family had been lost two years ago, and most of the inheritance books were lost. Most of the magic tricks compiled now are incomplete, and even the family-born Haoran Zhengqi Technique is missing the second half. Although my miscellaneous studies have been included in the Guan family's classics, it is after all, this is an evil method, and it is harmful to practice the Guan family's children. If the Guan family acts according to the previous methods, even without external interference, it is probably difficult to survive the disaster. Although the Guan family may have cut off the inheritance after entering the world and tragedy, as long as the family members are still concerned, there will naturally be hope for re-establishment. We all think clearly about this."

"It seems that the Guan family has made a decision." Xu Changqing didn't say anything else, sighed slightly, calculated quickly in his heart, and then said bluntly: "The old senior asked me just now that I was a little sure of success in this plan to establish a country. I will tell you now. If it were more than ten years ago, even if the Guan family operated alone, it would have a chance of success. But now, even if the Guan family joined forces with all the Nanyang Chinese businessmen, there would be only a maximum of 20% of the chance."

"Twenty percent?" Guan Poming frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Why is it only 20% so low?"

"It's very simple, people's hearts!" Xu Changqing said indifferently, "The Qing court lost power and humiliated the country and was unpopular. Most people at home and abroad were seeking innovation and change. At that time, as long as there was a prestigious person who climbed up and called out, they could gather a lot of strength around them. Then they followed my plan and acted according to my plan. It was almost impossible to establish a country in Nanyang. However, now the Qing court has been overthrown and the Republic of China has been established. Although there are still big and small disputes within, the entire Chinese country is in a prosperous situation. In addition, most of the merchants who helped the revolutionary army came from Nanyang. After these merchants returned, they would inevitably become patriotic merchants. The government of the Republic of China would provide them with convenience in all aspects. One was the illusion that could not be seen or touched, and the other was the real benefit in their hands. Naturally, their final choices for the two would not be difficult to make."
