“Yes, sir,” David nodded.
That expression, which conveyed a sense of gratitude, left Kuro completely bewildered.
I asked you to put in the effort, to manage, and to operate the business; all I did was invest money to acquire the land. Giving you only 50% is already excessive. Why didn't you even negotiate? And why are you thanking me...?
In comparison, it wasn't this easy to swindle money from Lida back then.
"Come on, let's not say much, let's have a drink."
Kuro raised his glass and held it out.
David held the cup with both hands, gently tapped the rim of his cup against the bottom of Kuro's cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
This made Kuro a little embarrassed. He said, "Well, your islands are all separated by the sea. A unified country alone isn't enough. Besides, you can't even call it unified. The islands are too far apart. I'll teach you a trick. Create a belief system, like gods, heroes, or chivalry. Promote it. It should be about truth, goodness, and beauty. Make people feel that it's wonderful. Once they all believe in this belief, your country will be truly unified."
That's how history went in the past.
In that Mediterranean region and westward into Europe, the terrain is flat and there are many countries, unlike his hometown, which has a more favorable geographical location.
Historically, his hometown was bordered by mountains to the west, vast grasslands to the north, the sea to the east, and the sea and jungles to the south. Once the land in his hometown was unified, he would become a hegemon, crushing the surrounding small countries. He was incredibly powerful and arrogant. This led to the emergence of the idea and civilization of unification, which was used to maintain unity. Even today, after Kuro has traveled through time for more than twenty years, this idea is still ingrained in his bones.
However, in the West, because it is too chaotic, a great unification is impossible.
ah?
Rome?
Rome is in Zhangjiakou!
Without a unified geopolitical system, another thing emerges: faith.
Historically, they have relied on monotheism to maintain this de facto unity, regardless of race, nationality, or customs.
As long as you believe in Yi Shen, then we are one family.
Well, except for those who are devoted to God.
"Belief?"
David was taken aback by Kuro's words, and looked at Kuro as if he had suddenly understood.
“So that’s how it is! You even foresaw this, sir! Sparashi! My lord, compared to your wisdom, my thoughts are like dust, while you are the moon in the sky!” David’s face flushed with excitement.
He was still thinking about how to use that book of "Sayings of Justice," but the old man's words made him stop thinking about it altogether.
The master had already anticipated what he was going to do!
Kuro waved his hand modestly and said, "No, no, it's just a little bit of basic knowledge. It's part of the historical process, not mine."
"justice!"
Wilbur, his face flushed, stared intently at Kuro. "Use justice, Mr. Kuro! Justice is a principle that everyone should uphold. No matter who you are, you should have a sense of justice!"
"Justice? Hmm...that's right, but there needs to be a consensus on this. Aren't you two pretty good at playing the justice card? You could discuss it with David." Kuro stroked his chin, agreeing.
Cass and Wilbur are both skilled at playing the justice game, especially Cass, that bearded guy, who always gets into trouble.
It's good to give them something to do, so they don't get attacked for no reason.
Um...
My back is a little itchy.
Kuro subconsciously scratched his back and exhaled a puff of smoke.
