"I heard that Mr. Zhang is a weirdo?" Lin Yimin sat in the car and asked Xu Wei. They were going to visit Zhang Taiyan, who was living in Shanghai. Zhang Taiyan is another big man of the Restoration Society, but after Tao Chengzhang's death, he had no intention of learning about the Restoration Society, and concentrated on studying knowledge, and he was a rare celebrity.
"Weirdos? It should be a geek! His temper is a little anxious, and when he has a seizure, no one will sell face. ”
Xu Wei said with a smile.
In terms of knowledge, Zhang Taiyan is top-notch, especially in the study of ancient culture. At the same time, he is proficient in medicine, and is the author of "Treatise on Cholera" and "Zhang Taiyan's Treatise on Medicine".
"Literature, medicine, sociology, revolutionary, Mr. Zhang is really amazing." Lin Yimin praised that he knew that he was going to visit a master of Chinese culture and a cattle man of the Republic of China, so he did a lot of homework in advance.
"Mr. Zhang's learning is much stronger than mine, and the students he teaches are all famous professors and scholars, such as Huang Kan, Zhu Xizu, Qian Xuantong, Zhou Shuren (Lu Xun), Shen Jishi, etc."
Xu Wei said with admiration, "It would be great if Mr. Zhang could go south." However, he has a strong personality and a somewhat poisonous mouth, if there is anything bad to say later, Mr. Lin should not take it to heart. ”
"Huh. Rest assured! The people who can get Mr. Zhang's scolding are all big shots, maybe if I am scolded by him, I will become famous. ”
Lin Yimin said with a smile.
He admired Zhang Taiyan's outspoken personality very much, and Zhang Taiyan was not like other politicians or revolutionaries. For example, Zhang Taiyan can scold people, and he may scold mercilessly, but he acts openly and honestly, and he will not secretly make shady moves, so this kind of person is not dangerous.
"Huh." Xu Wei smiled slightly, he was still a little worried that a young and energetic person like Lin Yimin and a person in a high position would not be able to stand the accusations of others.
Zhang Taiyan had just returned from a lecture in other places, and he was a little surprised by Xu Wei's arrival, so he warmly took Xu Wei's hand when they met, caring about the situation of the Xu family. He had very little contact with the comrades of the Liberation Society.
"Who is this?" Zhang Taiyan looked at Lin Yimin and asked.
"Huh. His name is Lin Yimin. The head of Meihua in Shanghai. Xu Wei introduced.
"Meihua Company? Oh! You're from Nanhua, right? Zhang Taiyan reacted immediately, his critical eyes fell on Lin Yimin's delicate face, and he saw that the other party's gaze was calm and restrained, without the arrogance of the eldest young master. I couldn't help but nod secretly in my heart.
"I've seen Mr. Zhang. You're right, I'm from Nanhua, but this is my roots. Lin Yimin nodded, he was wearing a suit, and it was a little awkward to do this, but Zhang Taiyan accepted it calmly.
"The first time we meet, it is not a respect." Lin Yimin handed over a pair of notebooks.
Zhang Taiyan opened it and took a look. Exclaimed: "Lan Tingxu? This - no, no, no merit, this is too precious, I can't afford it. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the thing back to Lin Yimin.
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite, this is not a genuine work. Imitation, imitation. Lin Yimin explained with a smile. Xin said: "The real work is hidden in the young master's collection room, so I am reluctant to give it to you?" ”
"Oh?" Zhang Taiyan hurriedly lowered his head and carefully studied the copybook, and praised while reading: "That's right." It's imitation, but it's very realistic, and it's a rare masterpiece. ”
"Mr. Zhang likes it. It's useless to keep this post with me, so let's give it to someone with lofty ideals! Lin Yimin said with a smile.
For others, this kind of calligraphy and painting work is difficult to find, but for Lin Yimin, there is no pressure at all.
Zhi Meizhai purchased a large number of cultural relics and antiques in Beijing and Tianjin, and most of the things that flowed out of the Forbidden City were secretly bought by Zhi Meizhai. This time he came to visit Zhang Taiyan, and Lin Yimin specially picked an imitation that was tasteful and not so precious that people refused.
Zhang Taiyan liked this work very much and accepted this nice gift unceremoniously. He looked at Lin Yimin and did not hide his good impression of this young man.
"I've heard a lot about Nanhua, and there are a lot of rumors outside, and a lot of people have gone to Nanyang recently. Can Mr. Lin tell us about Nanhua? I wonder how you defeated the Dutch? ”
Zhang Taiyan asked, staring at Lin Yimin with a pair of bright eyes. He knew that Xu Wei brought Lin Yimin to the door today, and it was estimated that the matter was related to Nanhua.
"The situation in Nanhua is basically similar to the rumors outside, in general, it is the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company that formed the Chinese army, and it took ten years of conviction to have today's achievements. We spent a lot of effort and sweat in the middle. It's not something that others can understand. Lin Yimin said with emotion.
"Now Nanhua is all Han Chinese?" Zhang Taiyan asked excitedly.
"That's right. Now that the government, army, and economy of Nanhua are in the hands of the Han Chinese, we are no longer bullied. Lin Yimin said proudly.
"Well done. That's how it should be. Zhang Taiyan clapped his hands and said.
He is the most staunch democrat, and although he has heard about it countless times, he still can't help but applaud when he hears the news of Nanhua from the people concerned.
Lin Yimin nodded, and said in his heart that this "chapter maniac" with a strange temper is actually a lover, and it doesn't seem difficult to speak.
He continued: "Now whether it is recruiting workers and immigrants or attracting investment, the efforts we are making are all about allowing the Han people to absorb the newly conquered territories as much as possible.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, 1.4 million square kilometers of territory, millions of square kilometers of ocean will be the world of the Han people in the future. Time, money, technology, talent, all things are very precious to us, and we must strive for any opportunity. ”
"As it should be!" Zhang Taiyan nodded and agreed.
"Alas!" Lin Yimin sighed.
"Why is Mr. Lin sighing?" Zhang Taiyan was a little puzzled, he was excited about the appearance of Nanhua.
"Easier said than done!" Lin Yimin raised his head, looked at Zhang Taiyan with some expectation, and explained, "The situation in Nanhua is actually not very optimistic. After all, we are a minority, and we have to deal with a large number of indigenous people, who are dozens of times larger than us, and culturally alien to us, I am afraid that in a few decades, the current Nanhua people will become those Nyonya who do not speak Chinese.
Mr. Zhang, you know that the Chinese in Nanyang have always been culturally - many of the early Chinese immigrants do not speak Chinese now, except that they only know that their ancestors came from the mainland, and they have become estranged from us, which makes us very worried. ”
Zhang Taiyan frowned, looked at Lin Yimin with a sincere face, and then looked at Xu Wei next to him thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It's up to people!" The natives want to assimilate us Han Chinese, that's wishful thinking! By the way, Xu Wei hasn't asked you what you're doing today. You won't come out to see me, an old man, will you? ”
"You're right, I'm here to see you. In the future, I may never see each other again. Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Oh?" Zhang Taiyan's eyes rolled, and he immediately reacted. "You're going to the South Seas too?"
Xu Wei nodded, "The current situation in China is not optimistic, whether it is the Restoration Society or our Xu family, you also know the situation, it is a good choice to go to Nanyang." ”
Xu Wei sighed. After all, he was going to leave his hometown, and he was a little reluctant in his heart.
Zhang Taiyan pondered when he heard this, and remembered all the things in the past few years of the Restoration Society, which was in its prime. The book's anger turned into a long sigh in his heart in the end. As the boss of the organization, he feels that he is unqualified, but what can he do?
Regarding Xu Wei's choice, Zhang Taiyan understands it very well.
"Mr. Zhang is a great talent, and it is too condescending to stay in China to teach. If I can, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang to Nanhua on behalf of the South China Government. There is a real need for Mr. Zhang's education.
We are very eager to inherit the excellent culture of the tradition and restore the literary style and martial arts of the Han and Tang dynasties, and you are everyone in this regard. So I implore you to join us too. ”
Lin Yimin lost no time in interjecting.
"Down to the South Seas?" Zhang Taiyan frowned, when he was young, he went to Nanyang to raise revolutionary funds, propagate revolutionary ideas, and overthrow the Manchu rule, but it was not quite the same as Lin Yimin's invitation.
Looking at Nanhua's approach, it seems that they want to establish a separate branch of Chinese culture, how should these people say it?
Zhang Taiyan was surprised and happy in his heart, a little contradictory, his face was pale on the surface, and he was noncommittal to Lin Yimin's words.
"Elder Zhang. You don't know yet, do you? Lu Bicheng is in Nanhua now, she is now the vice minister of education in Nanhua, and the Minister of Education in Nanhua is Dr. Wu Liande, and they invited me to go. ”
Xu Wei interjected.
"Lu Bicheng? Yan Fu's apprentice? Zhang Taiyan was surprised.
"That's right! That's her! I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Yimin, I had to believe it. Nanhua is a freshman. A vibrant country does not have too many burdens, so it will definitely be able to travel lightly and develop rapidly in the future. ”
Xu Wei said confidently.
"Bi Cheng's girl is really good, it's just that I really didn't expect it!"
Zhang Taiyan was taken aback again. Yan Fu is an old friend of Zhang Taiyan, and he is also a teacher and friend, and has a great influence on him.
Unexpectedly, when the students he taught were still professors at Peking University, Yan Fu's disciple Lu Bicheng, a woman, could become the No. 2 person in the Ministry of Education in Nanhua, which was more than her own disciple.
At the same time, it shows that Nanhua is really short of talents, and the atmosphere is also very open, otherwise how can women be allowed to enter politics?
"Mr. Zhang, Nanhua's policy is meritocracy, as long as he has the ability, we don't care whether he is a man or a woman, or what nationality he is. Provided, of course, that he identifies with our culture and values.
With the progress of society, women also play an increasingly important role in social production, and their status will become higher and higher. Now the population of Nanhua is precious, and we can't let the other half stay at home, otherwise our development will not be able to catch up, and we will be crushed by foreigners and natives. ”
Lin Yimin explained.
"Oh. That's right! Zhang Taiyan nodded, and accepted Lin Yimin's explanation in front of him. Although he is sometimes a bit feudal in his thinking, he has to admit that Lin Yimin's words are reasonable.
"The present of Nanhua is brand new, like a blank sheet of paper, which is a good test field for our Restoration Society to inherit and develop the excellent traditions of our ancestors. We've been making a revolution for half a lifetime, and now that the Manchu Qing is gone, it's time to do something really to do. ”
Xu Wei continued to persuade.
His ideal was to rebuild the University and spread the ideas of his elder brother Xu Xilin. Although he didn't set foot on that land, he had already tied his heart to Nanhua, so he tried his best to persuade Zhang Taiyan to go to Nanyang.
Zhang Taiyan was moved, in fact, he also had the intention of going south in his heart, but he just wanted to see Nanhua, and he didn't mean to stay with Nanhua.
Without waiting for him to speak, Lin Yimin smiled again: "Mr. Zhang, do you want to see the true work of "Orchid Pavilion Preface"? In addition to the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", we also have a lot of unique classics, even if it is "Yongle Canon", no problem! ”
"Huh?" Zhang Taiyan looked at Lin Yimin a little sternly, looking at the other party's confident appearance, it seems that Nanhua really has a lot of good things.
I guess these things were taken from the country, right? He wanted to say, "How can the important treasure of the country fall into the hands of outsiders", but when the words came to his lips, he took them back, and his face softened.
Looking at the ancient classics, this temptation is too great for him who is now dedicated to the study of Chinese studies.
He nodded and said slowly, "Okay! I'll make another trip to Nanyang! Let's see. ”
"Okay. It's an honor to have you in old age. Lin Yimin said with a smile.
Xindao: The young master has saved those antiquities, calligraphy and painting books in Nanhua, which are enough for you to study for ten years and eight years. With this famous and amazing Zhang Taiyan going to Nanyang, even if the signboard of Nanhua is erected, there will be no more literati students shouting bitterly to go to Nanyang?
"Huh. Elder Zhang, we can be on the same boat this time. Xu Wei said with a smile.
"What? You've got it planned? Zhang Taiyan was surprised.
"Mr. Xu's shipping schedule has been booked, just in the next few days. If Mr. Zhang, if you are in the same boat, you can be in the same boat with us! Otherwise, you'll have to wait until next month. Lin Yimin said with a smile.
Zhang Taiyan thought that there was nothing to do next, so he nodded and agreed.
"Don't be that troublesome. Just for a few days! He said so briskly.
made an appointment with Zhang Taiyan, and Lin Yimin left first if he still had something to do. Xu Wei and Zhang Taiyan reunited after a long absence, but they stayed behind with Zhang Taiyan's enthusiasm.
Looking at Lin Yimin's distant back, Zhang Taiyan sighed: "These people in Nanhua are not small in ambition, they not only have become powerful in Nanyang, but also have an indescribable relationship with Liangguang. ”
"Aren't you advocating inter-provincial autonomy?" Xu Wei asked with a smile.
"Even if it's not provincial, isn't it the same? They are all princes from all walks of life, and they are all the way. In the past, when Duan Qirui was in power, he mainly unified by force, and Cao Wu opposed it. Now that Cao Wu has come to power, they are going to reunify by force again.
There is also Zhang Huzi from the north, we will make a comeback again in two years. How difficult it is to have a family and country, and it is a good choice to go to Nanhua! ”
Zhang Taiyan said sarcastically. At present, when the domestic warlords are divided and there is no unified force, the joint province can be regarded as a helpless proposition.
On the one hand, he was studying knowledge, but on the other hand, he couldn't stand the anger in his heart, and he couldn't help but let out a few angry curses. It's just an angry scolding, and after scolding, I go back to study and study.
Xu Wei was silent, in the era when the martial arts were in power, they literati could only let out a few sorrowful screams at most. Thinking of going to the new Nanhua, his nostalgia for his homeland was compressed in the bottom of his heart.
The Xu brothers are the vane of the Restoration Society, and if they want to go to Nanyang, they will naturally lead the people of the Restoration Society to the South Seas. Nanhua was right about this.
Chen Ziying, Chen Xieshu, Shen Xiqing, Wang Shumei, Xu Yifei, Fan Wenji and other friends of Xu Xilin's old department also went south, either in business or in education, to realize their youthful ideals in the new country.
Lu Bicheng also found two well-known women for the girls' school, namely Wu Huiqiu, a student and assistant of Qiu Jin, and Sun Xiaoyun, the widow of Tao Chengzhang.
They also agreed to go to the South Seas, leave the place they fought for, and chase the bloody impulse of the year.
