Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Situ Meitang has been in the United States for more than 20 years and has a personal experience of various constructions in the western United States. He nodded and said, "Yes, we have to be like the United States." ”
Yang Rui was mistaken and said, "No." No. Be like Japan. ”
Situ Meitang wondered: "What is the difference between the United States and Japan? ”
Yang Rui said: "The United States is a democratic country that implements individual capitalism, while Japan is a centralized country that implements state capitalism. Seeing that Situ Meitang did not know much about the word capitalism, he explained: "In the United States, there are many rich people and many people who understand technology, while in Japan there are few rich people and few people who understand technology." The United States can let those who have money hire those who understand technology, and then recruit some workers to set up factories, build railways, and open mines, and then let them compete with each other, expand their scale, and reduce costs, so that the United States can become rich and powerful; As for Japan, there is little money and few people, so the government needs to come forward and concentrate funds and talents to set up factories, build railways, and open mines, and only allow one or a few companies to do these things. Although China is big, the situation is similar to that of Japan, and if we want to become rich and strong, we must concentrate our financial resources and manpower to do these things. If we follow the example of the United States and engage in decentralization, then everyone will have very little financial and human resources and will not be able to accomplish anything. ”
A few years ago, he worked on a U.S. Navy warship, traveled to various countries and saw a lot, and when he saw Yang Rui talking about centralization, he naturally thought of the democracy advocated by the United States, and asked: "Actually, there is indeed a difference between the Japanese national system and the United States, Japan has an emperor, and the United States has no emperor, only a president." Could it be that he wants to ......? ”
This is the second time Yang Rui has been asked this question, and he laughed, "Centralization of power does not have to be an emperor, and being an emperor does not have to be centralized." Under centralized power, people lose some rights, but under democracy, many things are not available. Brother Situ, if you look at the current United States, it seems that you can do anything, even be president, can you really do it? Centralization is a concrete wall, sue you for this road is impassable; Democracy is a glass wall, which seems to be passable, but in fact it cannot be passed. The most important thing for us is to see who this government serves. Look at the United States, those assassinated presidents: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, they are all against the rich, intending to better serve the people, but the result? ”
The U.S. president rate has a high death rate, and it is said that he was a front-line soldier in World War II. Of course, according to a later view, the assassination of these presidents seems to be closely related to the monetary power of the dollar. Yang Rui didn't have the heart to think about so many things in the future at this time, he was only thinking that he would take Situ Meitang to Hartford to meet Rong Hong today or tomorrow at the latest, and discuss the details of the talent plan. Yang Rui's words brought some thoughts to Situ Meitang that he hadn't done before, and he was completely silent, trying to figure out some questions, so that he kept pondering on the way to Hartford.
Rong Hong was very surprised by Yang Rui's return and return, and Yang Rui had no choice but to describe his ridiculous wolf bèi's stupid behavior back and forth on the east and west coasts of the United States, which caused him to laugh. He also liked Situ Meitang very much after talking, and felt that he was honest and credible, respecting teachers and teaching. According to Rong Hong's estimate, there is no problem in arranging personnel to go to the arsenal for internships through some relational means, but it cannot be guaranteed that these people can get their salaries, and in the context of the anti-Chinese situation in the United States, if they get salaries, they will inevitably be excluded by the arsenal trade unions. In other words, we have to be responsible for the expenses of these people.
Situ Meitang said: "Nowadays, most of the Chinese people's daily income is less than one dollar, and if you want to pay a salary, then it is a lot of money. I still mobilize everyone not to pay salaries, and usually only have some living expenses, so as to save money. He said US dollars, Situ Meitang has been mixed with overseas Chinese all the year round, and he is very clear about their income.
Yang Rui knew that he was thinking about the revolution, but if he didn't give preferential treatment to these people, then it would be difficult for the people behind him to recruit, so he objected to this. "No, I can't. There is a way to buy bones, if it is not good for these people, then who else dares to come? In my opinion, the salary of ordinary personnel is one yuan per day, and the salary of better technical personnel is one and a half, and the maximum is only two yuan. The specific wage standard is determined by the pure public. ”
Rong Hong fully agreed with Yang Rui's decision, "It turned out to be a statement for the country." Good! Good! As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper, which was full of English, and said, "After Cheng Cheng left, the old man still did some work." At present, there is an arsenal that is sure to accept people, as long as it does not rob the white people's jobs, there is no problem in entering, and the number is about a hundred. "Rong Hong sold the Green machine gun to Li Hongzhang many years ago, so he still has something to do with the arsenal.
"The work of these 100 people is directly related to the production of guns, and they have to go to the arsenal. But there are some jobs in the arsenal, and there are also in the machinery factory, so it can be arranged in the machinery factory, and the number of people there can be arranged, and I think about 300 people is appropriate. The organization of the personnel depends on the degree of Kizan's side, and these personnel are all concentrated in Hartford for selection, and I estimate that the first people will enter the factory around April next year. As for the wages, I still build one per person per day, plus fifty cents a day for each of the factory and the white masters—of course, I will minimize the amount for the factory and the whites—and two per person per day. 400 people need 20,000 yuan a month, and 8 months need 160,000 yuan. Because it is impossible for all of these 400 people to enter the factory in April, the preliminary estimate is that the budget for the first year will be at least $100,000. The second year will require $240,000, and the third year will be even less, with an estimated $150,000 being enough. ”
After Rong Hong finished speaking, Yang Rui not only sighed that there was a lot of money, but after thinking about it for a few months, he finally saw the dawn of the arsenal. Immediately said, "Okay." Although there is a lot of money, there is finally hope for the arsenal. I sent a telegram to China today asking for a transfer of $10,000 to the company as a preparatory fee for the plan, and the money will be remitted to Chungong's account, and Chungong will be responsible for the financial withdrawal. "Zhong Guanguan spent 60,000 taels on the railway, and there are 40,000 taels left, and Yang Rui plans to embezzle this money for the revolution. 10,000 US dollars is more than 10,000 taels, and the remaining more than 20,000 taels will be used for Tonghua's army.
The next thing was discussed by Rong Hong and Situ Meitang, in fact, the main thing was that Rong Hong gave Situ Meitang some selection criteria according to the requirements for entering the factory, so that he could choose people in various branches of Hongmen. Things were smoother than he had imagined before, and when he came over, he was afraid of being beaten out by Situ Meitang. In fact, this Hongmen has been leading the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and the first sentence of the Anliangtang membership question and answer established by Situ Meitang is: "What is the matter of joining the association?" The answer was: "Anti-Qing and Restoration of Sight." "It can be said that the revolution in the late Qing Dynasty is to find the right person in Hongmen. It is precisely because of this that when Yang Rui returned to San Francisco and set off to return to China, Situ Meitang mentioned yì to accompany him, because the main hall of Hongmen was located there, and he wanted to introduce Yang Rui to the bigwigs of Hongmen. As long as there are overseas Chinese in the whole of America, there are Hongmen halls, thinking that a wider range of personnel can be selected, Yang Rui readily agreed.
Bidding farewell to Rong Hong again, Yang Rui and Situ Meitang stopped in New York for a while, and arrived in San Francisco on January 2, when the railroad mapping team had already gone out and got a ticket at the place Chen Yixi confessed, which was the boat on Sunday night. He was going to spend fifty hours in the United States.
The impression of Hongmen mainly comes from a film by Andy Lau, of course, not to mention that the film needs to be artistically transformed, just to say that there are many differences in the changes of the past hundred years. Yang Rui was sitting in the Zhongyi Hall of Hongmen Main Hall on Sacramendu Street in San Francisco, and Situ Meitang had been in it for a long time.
"Big guy, this person's name is Yang Jingcheng, he is the leader of the Revival Association, I don't know how to find a disciple and invite a disciple to fight against the Qing Revolution together. Seeing that he was sincere and trustworthy, the disciple immediately agreed. He begged Hongmen not for money, not for death, but for talents. In the Hongmen General Hall, Situ Meitang explained Yang Rui's origin and purpose to the bigwigs.
"Talent? What kind of talent do you need? Zhu San, the senior among the big guys, asked. This person is an older generation of Hongmen, and although he is no longer in charge, he still guides newcomers when there are major events.
Yang Jingcheng said that in a few years he would build an arsenal in China to manufacture guns and cannons for counter-revolution when the time came. Therefore, he asked his disciples to help him find three or four hundred people who were studying and learn the art of making guns in the United States. He has contacted Rong Hong, a native of Xiangshan, who will contact the American businessman and be responsible for arranging people to enter the factory for internship. In order to ask people to study with peace of mind, they also paid one dollar per person per day, and the money had to be revived. Although he had already participated in it, Situ Meitang was still a little surprised to say it now, he had never seen such a rebellion.
Everyone also felt strange about this, and after thinking about it together, Tang Qiongchang, the secretary of the main hall, said: "Is this person's origin reliable?" ”
Situ Meitang took out the copy of "Revolutionary Army" from his body, handed it over with both hands and said: "The origin is credible, it is indeed an anti-Qing figure." This book was written by Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong, who were in the meeting, and the words were full of words and every sentence was revolutionary. The disciple also saw two letters written to him by the two men, both of which were poems for him. ”
Secretary Tang Qiongchang looked through the results for a while, nodded and sighed, "What a learned person!" Did these two also come to the United States? ”
Situ Meitang thought of what Yang Rui said about Zhang and Zou, and also sighed: "I didn't go to the United States." These two people are heroic people, this book is out, it is taboo for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wanted, the two do not hide or dodge, in the Shanghai concession was arrested and imprisoned. Among them, Zhang Taiyan said that he wanted to be in court. Shang argued with the Qing court to see what reason it had to rule China. ”
As soon as Situ Meitang said this, Huang Sande, the boss of the main hall, said: "Such courage is really an anti-Qing hero." I Hongmen has been against the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and I have not forgotten its roots since then. Zhu San and Tang Qiongchang glanced at each other and nodded together.
In the Zhongyi Hall, Yang Rui had already drunk the third cup of tea, and the next person was very thoughtful when he greeted him, but Situ Meitang never returned. Just as I was worried, I saw laughter coming from the door, and a loud voice said: "Haha, Yang will wait for a long time, Sande is sluggish, Sande is sluggish." ”
Before the person arrived, when he came out, he saw a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and deep dark eyes, and came out with his fists clenched, followed by the other two, and Situ Meitang was also among them. Yang Rui didn't dare to slack off, and also got up and clasped his fists and saluted. Situ Meitang introduced next to him: "This is Huang Sande, the prime minister of our Hongmen General Hall. This is the senior boss Zhu San, and this is Mr. Tang, the secretary of the main hall. ”
Hongmen is full of bigwigs, and all of them are not easy to offend, with such thoughts, although it is strange that the prime minister of the main hall is not a muscular man or a scar man with a full face, Yang Rui still respects his junior. "Junior Yang Jingcheng, it's rare to have the opportunity to meet all the big guys, it's really a blessing in three lives."
Prime Minister Huang Sande was not arrogant, and politely invited Yang Rui to sit down. "President Yang, earlier Jizan had already informed us of your plan, and Hongmen had been against the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and it was unswerving. The affairs of the Revival Society are the affairs of my Hongmen. ”
Hearing that he was so happy to support the talent plan of the Revival Association, Yang Rui hurriedly thanked him and promised: "I don't dare to be the president, but the big guy told me to achieve a good job." With the help of the big guys today, the revival will be rewarded in the future. In addition, this matter is very important, and I actually begged the big guy to keep it secret. It is best not to spread the word except for all of you. ”
Although this was a bit rude, Huang Sande, who was born in the gang, didn't care, and smiled when he heard the words, "Okay." Good. Today's events will not be heard by the ears of the sixth except those who are present. Don't be polite, as long as it's anti-Qing, that's a matter within Hongmen. What Huang did was only for the country, not for selfishness. ”
It is rare to see such a patriotic boss, Yang Rui picked up the teacup and said: "The ambition of my Han people will not be extinguished for two hundred years, and the anti-Qing Dynasty can be achieved, and the restoration of the Han Dynasty is hopeful." The younger brother is here to replace the wine with tea, and I salute the big guys. After speaking, he drank all the tea in the cup.
