Seeing someone invited to dinner, and it is a new new building, this is the top restaurant in Shanghai, it is busy on weekdays, even foreigners often go to eat, the two suddenly have no grievances, when eating, Yu Huizu saw that Yang Rui seemed to be unmoved by the Qingguan who accompanied the wine at the next table, and he didn't look at it, just concentrated on eating, and asked puzzledly: "It's done, I don't know whether to ask or not to ask for a sentence for my brother." ”

Yang Rui was concentrating on dealing with a fish, and returned disapprovingly: "Ask, Brother Hanzhang, what's wrong with this." ”

Yu Huizu saw that Yang Rui was absent-minded, and he didn't mind, and said: "I look at you, but the more I look at it, I can't understand it, and I don't know what you ask for." Do you say it's a life, your life is too hard, either writing books or attending classes, you don't have a family to talk about, you don't smoke a lot, and you don't drink flowers; Let's say it's for the name, this MSG is such a good and thin thing, you gave it to me without blinking an eye, so that I don't know what to do with the top of the seven pins, obviously you made it, I have to be uneasy; Besides, not to mention the half of the technology stocks last time, I see that you make a lot of money by writing books, and you can open your own factory, why do you want us and Mr. Xu to invest in shares, you calculate how many times the shares of half a thousand yuan will be doubled at the end of the year. Hey, I've seen a lot of people, but I've never talked about you like this. ”

Yang Rui didn't reply immediately when he heard this, just poured the wine full, picked it up and said to the two of them: "In the past six months, I have been the happiest today, with deep feelings, and a sip of stuffiness, now let's do one." With that, he drank it all in one gulp. Yu Huizu and Zhong Guanguan also dried up their wine, Yang Rui hiccuped and said: "Brother Hanzhang, this is the relationship you haven't seen through, eating in this new new building is eating, and eating in the alley shop is also eating, what's the difference?" Aren't they all full, if only I come to Xinxinlou to eat, I don't want to come, come here to change clothes, and second, to be careful with words and deeds, I really don't understand whether it is clothes to eat or we to eat. ”

Yang Rui said, Zhong Guanguan felt the same way, shouted well, and had a drink with Yang Rui. Yang Rui drank it and continued: "Big smoke is harmful, how can this be smoked, it is not interesting to drink flower wine, it sounds good that she is accompanying you, you are playing with her, but on the other hand, according to Newton's laws of mechanics, this is not that you are accompanying others, she is playing with you, you must know that everyone spends the same time, but men feel happy after playing, women play not only cool but also get money, it is more cost-effective for her." Instead of spending all this time, I might as well get some sleep or read a book. ”

Zhong Guanguan is a real yàn maniac, and added: "It's better to stay in the real yàn room and do something." Brother Cheng said well, another drink. With that, he drank the wine dry.

Yang Rui only accompanied, and after drinking dry, he continued with a sense of wine: "As for this name, this time it is for the needs of trading, so I will push you up, don't think about it, as for the profits, there is so much money in the world, is it done after earning, when I and Xian Feng were doing real yàn, I just wanted to get the MSG out, and after making it, I felt that I knew more things, this is like a poor family has an extra piece of foreign money in their pockets, every time I think of it, this feeling is like Mu Ganlin." ”

This time, it was Zhong Guanguan who blushed and shouted with a cup: "That's right, I became a brother, and I told everything I thought in my heart thoroughly." Here, a toast. After saying that, he raised his head again and drank dry.

When he went back at night, Zhong Guanguan was carried back by Yu Huizu by Yu Huizu, Yang Rui didn't drink as much as him, and he could still walk, but he found a rickshaw and pulled it back to Ruyi directly, and when he returned to the room, Yang Rui fell on the bed and closed his eyes and read: "The mountain is not high, and there are immortals." The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, only I have Xin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green and ......green."

Downstairs, Mrs. Huang was awakened by Yang Rui's loud sound of going upstairs, came out of the stairs to take a look, heard Yang Rui reciting poems on it and went back, after entering the door, Mr. Huang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It matters, Mr. Yang is drunk, as if he is reciting poetry." Mrs. Huang replied.

"Yi has a good life, a lot of money a month, and every day is leisurely. The thick house helped Yi borrow it, wow? "Mr. Huang thinks that he is in debt, and he seems to be unable to see others leisurely, or self-deprecation.

Mrs. Huang comforted: "Yi doesn't have a family, of course it's leisurely, and if you have a family, it's up to Yi how leisurely." The house has been borrowed, and the helper has also helped Yi find it, so I'll talk to Yi tomorrow. I'm sleepy. With that, he leaned on Mr. Huang's shoulder and stopped talking.

The next day was Saturday, Yang Rui returned to Ruyi after class, he didn't want to go back, but Cai Yuanpei strongly asked Yang Rui to go to Zhang Yuan tomorrow to give a speech, and asked the content to be sure to expose the shortcomings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with such a political task, he had to go back to the room to meditate, and when he walked along the back road to the corner of the alley, the twist was shaking his head and tail and ran over, and he began to rub around the person twice, this dog has been raised for several months and can't see the previous down-and-out appearance at all, the coat is bright, and the size seems to have grown a little, It was almost knee-high, Yang Rui touched the back of its neck, got up and was about to take it back, but heard a woman's voice shouting in front of him: "Patton, Patton......" The sound was crisp, like a jingling wind chime.

Yang Rui looked over, only to see a four-wheeled carriage more than ten meters in front, a girl in a white skirt leaned out of the door of the carriage, with a Western-style lace top hat, she was shouting to this side, in order to attract attention, and finally clapped his hands vigorously, Yang Rui didn't understand his intentions for a while, as if there was no one behind him, and when he wanted to look back, the twist ran over and pounced on the girl's skirt, causing a burst of exclamations and crisp laughter, Yang Rui did not step forward, only watched the girl lift the skirt and walk off the car from a distance, was intimate with the twist, looked at it for a while and felt bored, was about to pull over and prepare to light a cigarette to fight embarrassment, but the girl drove the twist into the carriage, and then got into the car herself, Yang Rui really wanted to speak, but the other party passed the words: "It's you to raise Barton, raise a thin man, raise a little bit, hum." ”

Yang Rui listened to the voice for a while, didn't understand what was said, and when he came back to his senses to understand the meaning of the words, the carriage had already started and walked away, intermittently hearing dog barking and laughter, Yang Rui threw away the unlit cigarette with one hand, stunned for a while and realized that he was really stupid, and was shocked by the girl, this dog is obviously picked up by me, and I also paid for the dog donation of five dimes every quarter in the concession, and the owner and address of the dog tag on it are mine, how can she take the dog away in the blue sky and daylight, isn't this a Ming robbery, Then he felt that the dead dog was ungrateful, so he ran away with someone, Yang Rui was a little angry, and the dog was robbed like this, which was really faceless.

There was no carriage in sight on the street, but he was trying to recall the girl's appearance - a white Western-style dress, a pink wide-brimmed straw hat with flowers and flowers, only a white little face was exposed, his eyes were blocked by the hat and he didn't see it, but the crisp sound seemed to be lingering in his ears, Yang Rui shook his head, in order to get rid of this voice, turned around and entered the alley, and went back to think about tomorrow's speech.

Zhang Yuan Ankai on Sunday afternoon was full of people, standing on the podium Yang Rui felt that there were more people coming today than last time, the hall was crowded with people, because he came late, his previous speech made the venue very hot, so the people below were boiling, he stood on the top for a while and the voice below began to decrease - there are many people in the audience who came last time, they know that this gentleman is not a gentleman who can only shout slogans like before, he just tells some facts, which is fascinating when listening, and prompts people to think deeply after listening.

Seeing that it was quiet below, all eyes were staring, Yang Rui scanned below with his eyes, he was actually looking for someone - he originally came early, but on the road he met the girl who snatched his dog, or yesterday's carriage was parked in Zhang Yuan, Yang Rui just got off when she passed by, she was holding a Su newspaper to read, so the two of them faced each other, the Western-style white dress made him recognize that this was the girl yesterday, this time she didn't wear the pink wide-brimmed straw hat, The black and supple face is more snow-white, the eyes are crescent-shaped, and the eyes are not as bright as romance novels often say, but dark and deep as water, as if they want to suck the light in, seeing Yang Rui staring, the indescribable cunning and cuteness under the eye waves, I only heard her say in a crisp voice: "Look at it, you raise my dog to be thin, you are still very reasonable."

Yang Rui felt anesthetized as soon as she heard her voice, her Cantonese probably meant that she understood, thinking that she had been very nesty from the beginning, she settled down and said, "Girl, that dog should be mine, where did you take it?" ”

"How could that dog be yours, obviously my teacher brought it to me from England, English shepherd dog, don't you know?" The girl changed her dialect, this time in Beijing dialect, and then her eyes flowed again: "You don't even know what kind of dog it is, how can you say that the dog is yours?" ”

Yang Rui only felt that the dog was not a local domestic dog, with white and black coats, but he didn't know that it was imported, so he had to bite the bullet and say honestly: "I picked up the dog on the street, but now it has been registered in the concession, and the dog donation was also paid by me, and the dog license plate is also my name, how can this mean that it is not mine." "The more I got to the back, the more I felt justified.

"You picked it up on the street, hmph, then I picked it up on the street too," the girl choked her breath, "you raised it so thin, and you were embarrassed to say it was yours." Hum! I've already thrown away the dog tag, don't hand over the dog donation in the future. With that, the girl went straight away, followed by a woman dressed as a maid.

Yang Rui watched him walk away, went up to theorize and felt that he might not be reasonable, plus he came late, and the lecture was going on, so he had to go to the castle first, when Wu Jingheng was giving a speech in front, Yang Rui saw that the girl and the two of them also entered An Kaidi, but it was not good to look back at her sitting there.

Yang Rui didn't find that wisp of white in the hall of nearly a thousand people, and instead focused on the speech: "Gentlemen, last time I talked here about why the originally backward West passed us in seven hundred years, and the answer I gave was because the gold and silver from the Americas flowed into Europe, resulting in price revolution and wealth reorganization, and then to the rise and fall of classes and institutional innovation, and finally to financial innovation and economic growth, this answer seems to be very correct, but in fact, there is another question, because there is a counterexample, There is a country that has not gone through this process, it did not take 700 years, and it has become strong in just 50 years, and this country is Japan, so why can Japan become stronger? That's the subject of my talk today. ”

Yang Rui's content this time is the same as last time, thanks to the perverted strict sociology teacher, he remembers very clearly the reasons for the success of Japan's Meiji Restoration, and this time he will use this as the main stem as the theme of his speech. When Yang Rui was on it, the white dress was seen at a glance, for this tall but obviously stupid short young man, she still had an impression, after all, he was speechless twice, and calmly snatching the dog back still made her feel very accomplished, just to see Yang Rui on stage - Yang Rui's name was seen from the dog tag, and now she finally equaled the name with the person, she couldn't imagine that this person was still a gentleman, because of the relationship between the comprador family of a foreign bank, her teachers were all Western teachers invited by her father, As a result of these educations, she no longer had any reverence for her husband in the country—she was curious to know what this defeated man could say.

Yang Rui didn't know that anyone wanted to see himself make a fool of himself on stage, but he just said according to his own train of thought, "More than two hundred years ago, that is, in 1633, when Japan was still the shogunate era, in order to prevent the introduction of Christianity, a national closure decree was issued. After that, Japan began to invite local daimyos, feudal lords, scholars, and even civilians to discuss matters in the name of the emperor, and began to prepare for the reform of the law, and promulgated reform measures in 1869, which is a remarkable feat, because according to the situation at that time, the immutable law is waiting for death, and changing the law is looking for death, and it takes great wisdom and courage to survive in death, and this change has continued until now, which took more than 40 years.

The first point I want to say here is that Japan's strong social structure is different from that of Europe and the United States, although it is also said that there is a constitutional monarchy, but this constitutional monarchy is fundamentally different from the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom. The current Japanese government is actually a centralized government, not a democratic government like Europe and the United States. This is important to understand. And why Japan was able to form a strong government in such a short period of time, I have summarized three points, one is the moon culture caused by the geographical environment, the second is the unique political structure between the shogunate and the emperor, and the third is the talent ...... passively cultivated by the primogeniture system."
