Chapter 69: The Clan
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Usually it sounds like a simple thing, but there are still a lot of things to do when it comes to implementation. The ferry ticket is the most basic, you can go to Africa without thick clothes, but medicine, food, books, etc. are all to be well arranged, medicine to find a Chinese medicine is still very troublesome, even if there is Chinese medicine, there is no place to catch, so you can only rely on the military doctor Leo said, diet is also a big problem, a few days ago Yang Rui also paid attention to where there are chefs who can go abroad, it is best to go all together, so that the diet of forty people will be solved. There is also a notebook, Yang Rui thought about it or decided to bring it over, but to bring it over must have a corresponding manual motor, those on the market still have to be taken back and let the real room change it according to Yang Rui's requirements, otherwise it will not be available.
At the same time, here in Shanghai, although there are Zhong Guanguan can carry a lot of things, but there are still some things to arrange, Wang Jitong is responsible for copying the mathematics textbooks have been good, these have to be negotiated before leaving Shanghai, these three books are too professional, the edition fee is not much, but no matter how little it is, it is money, and now the funds are still relatively tight, 100,000 loans are only 20,000 in the end, of which 5,000 still have to be left for the school to do food, the remaining 15,000 military academy is estimated to need 10,000, and the rest plus the remaining 3,000 is more than 8,000 yuan, Of course, you can buy the worst position, but the lowest ticket costs more than 80 yuan a ticket, and more than 3,000 yuan for more than 40 people. The royalty can be collected for three or four thousand yuan, and it would be great if the Japanese Golden Port Hall could also buy the copyright.
The next morning, as soon as he opened his eyes, Yang Rui was thinking about what to do before going to Mozambique. According to the shipping schedule, I should have left Shanghai on June 4, I thought that I would always be in Shanghai, and then became a Shanghai tycoon in the Republic of China, with a head and a face, living a life of spending days and drinking, how cool. But now I haven't stayed long before I have to evacuate, revolution, revolution, if it weren't for Cai Yuanpei, they wouldn't be able to do it themselves, Yang Rui was annoyed in his heart. If it's really hung up, it hasn't been passed down to the next generation.
Thinking of inheriting the ancestry, he didn't know how to think of Cheng Ying again, but she stayed in her mind for a while and was expelled by Yang Rui - he really didn't want to think about this gloomy thing. He got up and went to the steamship company to buy forty-four tickets, an extremely unlucky number that made him very unhappy for a while, but the thought of going to the cook's family could not be only forty-four, it should be forty-seven or forty-eight. Then I went to the printing house to find Mr. Xie, the royalty matter was discussed very smoothly, the three books were only counted as 3,500 yuan, and Yang Rui had not finished writing the history of Western philosophy also paid a deposit of 1,500 yuan. After dealing with these two things, Yang Rui went to the place where he bought agricultural goods, and the chef didn't know where to find them, but he bought a bunch of rapeseed that could be grown in the tropics, especially ginger, garlic, onions, peppers, etc. I heard Leo say that they eat corn over there, or it's just a bunch of potato flour, rice and wheat are nothing, and the staple food is not good, so the vegetables must go. There are really a lot of rapeseed that I bought, and I can't take a few big bags of them, so I have to take care of a few horn carts and send them back to Ruyi, and Yang Rui himself went to find a Chinese medicine hall.
I don't know how to sneak to the north gate, there are several Chinese medicine halls on this side, and there are also Chinese medicine shops, and the name of one of them is indeed very familiar, called Lei Yunshang. This pharmacy that was later chained all over Shanghai and Suzhou turned out to be there now, and after entering, the store pΓΉ was cleaned up and tidy, and behind the counter were rows of medicine cabinets, and the store exuded a burst of traditional Chinese medicine. Yang Rui actually wanted tropical heatstroke herbs and some bruises. After spending a lot of time asking, the old gentleman sitting in the hall finally understood the meaning of this two devils, and the result was that Yang Rui bought a lot of herbs for boiling herbal tea and pills for bruises, and there was no stock in the store with many things, so he had time to prepare.
After buying what he wanted to buy, Yang Rui went directly to the 6th line to find Zhong for sightseeing. It would be very convenient for the chef to let Yu Huizu find it, but it was better not to let him know about this matter, so as to save him from thinking about anything, Yang Rui could find a reason to go to Nanyang to see the market or something, but this chef cooks dozens of people's meals, and it is not so easy to explain where these dozens of people go. Zhong Guanguan didn't have a good way to do this, so he had to find someone to bring a message to the people over there in Zhabei to help find it, and the monthly salary and treatment were the best, and the family could return to China after eight years of working abroad.
After arranging this matter, Zhong Guanguan thought that he was about to go to the chlor-alkali equipment and asked: "Actually, the electrolyzer of the Americans is about to arrive, do you think that Bu Neimen will make any bad ideas?" β
Yang Rui was actually worried about this matter, and there was nothing good to do about it. Said: "Those guys first used hydrochloric acid to jam our necks, if we don't admit defeat, they will definitely buy us, if we don't agree, then we will do it, if Bu Neimen really said that he wants to buy us, you let Yu Huizu say that the major shareholder of the factory is not there, went to Nanyang, if he is not there, there is no way to determine the sale, if he says to buy the shares in your hands, then it is said that when the company was established, it was agreed that the sale and transfer of shares should be known to all shareholders, in the case that other shareholders do not buy, before you can sell it. If you really can't figure it out, find Adego, and let him call the shots. He has been a comprador in Shanghai for so many years, and he is familiar with him, in fact, we and Bonemen have some competition in caustic soda, but it mainly makes soda ash, not a dead knot that cannot be untied. β
Zhong is a technomaniac and has no understanding of corporate governance. Yu Huizu said that he had been a big store for so many years, but he was just able to deal with people and had a good business, and he really didn't understand the set of foreigners at all. Only Yu Qiaqing can use it, he is a comprador background, and the comprador class behind him is not something that one or two foreign companies dare to provoke, and without compradors, there will be no prosperity in Shanghai.
Zhong Guanguan is pondering, Yang Rui is also pondering, today I went to the medicine hall but there is no Yunnan Baiyao, it is said that this Yunnan Baiyao came out at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. I haven't seen it now, but I guess it will be in a few years. Drugs are money-making things, Yunnan Baiyao is one, and sulfonamides and penicillin are even more terrible. According to the time travel novel, sulfonamide was originally a dye, and it was understood very early, but everyone did not show its medicinal value, and this thing should be studied again when they went to Germany, and as for penicillin, it should be studied after the revolution Xiaocheng. When thinking about how to get through guΓ² drug money, Yang Rui thought about another big thing, that is, the global flu in the late stage of World War I, what is it called Spanish flies or what is it in the novel, this flu caused a staggering number of deaths, but mainly in Europe and the Americas, although China also affected but did less damage. These things should have a plan, and it is best to push out Chinese medicine, and not be as aggrieved as later generations.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, there are also some other national essences that should also be protected and raised, so as not to be swept away like later generations. Yang Rui thought far, far away, and when he came back to his senses, Zhong Guanguan was still thinking about the installation of the inner door and the electrolyzer. Suddenly thought of a question, so he said: "Xianfeng, you said that one day there will be no emperor suddenly, what will happen to the world?" β
He couldn't think of why Yang Rui asked this question, so he had to think about it according to this assumption, and said: "If the emperor is gone, then someone will definitely want to be the emperor, and then the world will definitely be in turmoil, and there must be a winner in the sea of corpses and blood." Thinking of that situation, he sighed, and then said: "At that time, I was afraid that the foreigners would come over. β
Hearing his answer, Yang Rui was very surprised, he was right, according to history, this is the process. Putting aside this stubble, Yang Rui continued: "Yes, no emperor is like this, but if there is an emperor, the emperor is of a different race, and it is very unpleasant to watch." I really don't want to do it, and I don't want to do it. In his opinion, China, a country with thousands of years of imperial tradition, suddenly turned into a republic is definitely the most ridiculous thing in the world, of course, it has to be a republic, but this republic is just in name. But if he really wanted to keep the Manchu Emperor, he couldn't accept it, and other revolutionaries couldn't accept it, and the destruction of the Manchu Qing was a foregone conclusion; At the same time, if anyone really wants to be emperor like Yuan Shikai after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or simply restore like that Zhang Xun, then the whole world will be dissatisfied. History is sometimes like a bus, after which you can't go back.
Zhong Guanguan understood Yang Rui's concerns, and after understanding that this court was ruled by the Manchus, all the Han people in the world wanted this court to fall. When the Manchus occupied China and routinely ruled, they designed the ruling institutions very exquisitely - the Manchus never did the low-level officials such as county commanders, they only managed the officials, never the people, and no one knew that it was the Manchus who were the emperors, and only the upper strata of society knew that the ruler of China was a foreign race, but this kind of knowledge everyone tacitly understood, no one would and did not dare to say it, and under the butcher's knife, the whole society was a harmonious mess. When the foreigners invaded the east, and the Manchu court was incompetent and repeatedly defeated, like a dou who could not be supported, the revolutionary party began to propagandize everywhere, which made the people at the bottom know that the emperor was originally a foreign race, which made the majority of hot-blooded young people resentful, who dared to keep the Manchu emperor after the revolution was definitely the enemy of the whole world.
But as long as there is no emperor, there is no object of allegiance. China, an empire that has been enslaved for thousands of years and has become accustomed to having masters, will lose its central point, will lose its original inherent order, and will be wars and chaos, which is actually the fundamental reason why the Meiji Restoration in Japan set up a corrupt emperor. Just as Yang Rui cannot become the new emperor, they cannot become the object of worship of the whole of Japan, because in contemporary times, the living cannot be deified, so only the deification of the emperor who has long been decayed but has a long lineage, making it the sacred center of gravity of the whole of Japan, so that the whole Japan has a centripetal force, so that a centralized government can be formed, and so can the strength of the whole country be concentrated to complete industrialization and capitalization. Of course, in addition to this, there is a clear example for later generations to refer to, but Yang Rui asked himself that he could not be as great as Taizu, that is, Taizu was also created in a specific historical environment, and it is not something that anyone can do if they want to...... It's a real inexplicable thing.
Thinking of this, Yang Rui sighed, but Zhong Guanguan next to him said jokingly: "If Chongzhen has a future, we will definitely accept it if we oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty." β
"Anti-Qing and Restoration of Sight?" Yang Rui didn't care about his jokes, this was really a solution. There are so many dynasties in China, the Ming Dynasty is the most righteous in the world, and the dead are also the most virtuous, "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." To this day, people have to sigh sadly, compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Kuomintang Party, which later ran thousands of miles, this spirit cannot be compared at all. If you can find a former Ming clan and deify him and make it the center of gravity of the whole of China, then those minions who have lost their Manchu masters will have the backbone and a place in their hearts. But Chongzhen's descendants can't be found, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty seems to have been killed by Wu Sangui in Yunnan in the early Qing Dynasty.
Zhong Guanguan knew that his statement was just a joke, and there were always people in the entire Qing Dynasty who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, but the clan of the Ming Dynasty never saw it, and if the Qing Dynasty was the emperor of the Han people, according to the convention, the clan of the previous dynasty would still be treated preferentially to show the mind of the new dynasty. It's just that this Manchu is a foreign race, and he is worried that he will not be able to sit in the world, so as long as he catches the clan of the former Ming Dynasty, he will be executed, and when Kangxi wants to pretend to be preferential treatment later, no one will give preferential treatment.
Seeing that Yang Rui was still thinking about it there, Zhong Guanguan didn't speak, and went out to see what was going on with his clerk before. When he was done, he walked around the factory and went back to his office. I saw that Yang Rui was no longer thinking about it, and was drinking tea leisurely, when he saw himself coming in, he smiled slightly and then got up and closed the door. Zhong Guanguan was very inexplicable, and he didn't know what was going on with him. Yang Rui asked him to sit down, and then said in a low voice, "I asked for a meeting tonight." β
Zhong Guanqi said: "Isn't there a meeting for student members in the evening?" "Yesterday was too late, it took more than two hours just to do the interview, and it took a lot of time to read the constitution and take the oath later, so many things were not explained, especially the recent task arrangement was not said, so I pushed things to today.
Yang Rui also knew that there was going to be a student meeting tonight, and said: "Let's end the student meeting at nine o'clock, and the one-day meeting was originally divided into two days." I have something very important to discuss with you! Seeing Zhong Guanguan, he was puzzled, and added: "What I want to discuss with you is the matter of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty." Seeing that Zhong was still puzzled, he added another sentence and whispered in his ear: "I know where there is a former Ming sect ......."
Zhong Guanguan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then with an "ah" sound, he immediately jumped up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Rui, his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak.
This is a big deal than a revolutionary rebellion! There were so many rebellions in the entire Qing Dynasty, it can be said that there were many large and small rebellions, and even the most powerful long-haired rebellion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not in a hurry. Why, because the rebellion has no influence and appeal, Changmao is a thing that believes in cults and does not recognize ancestors, and is incompatible with traditional Confucianism and clans, how can such a person win the hearts of the people, not to mention other rebellions, which basically belong to the official coercion and the people's anti-type, and the best result is to occupy the mountain as the king. But if the brand of the former Ming clan is displayed, then the influence among the people is not ordinary, and the Manchus have to be crazy.
Zhong Guanguan grabbed Yang Rui's clothes and wanted to ask for details, Yang Rui pointed to the wall and said, "The wall has ears." Let's have a meeting in the evening. After saying that, he went out to go back to the concession, and threw down the clock and was stunned there.

Note: 1. The conclusion about the high skill of Manchu rule, that is, the people at the bottom did not know that the emperor was Manchu, comes from the video lecture of Zhang Ming, a history professor at the Chinese People's University.
2. Xinhai had the idea of a Han imperial system before Sun Wen was elected as the provisional president, but the former Ming clan failed because there was no seal letter and genealogy to prove their identity and had no merit in the revolution, and the descendants of Confucius refused to be emperor.
