Chapter 495 The Wind of Public Opinion

After receiving the joint notice from the consuls of various countries, Qin Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, although the Executive Committee has decided to resolutely maintain its determination, but after all, now the crossing group still hopes to start negotiations with various countries as soon as possible, it is best not to delay any longer, this kind of game of the silent is really unsettling. Bayi Chinese ??? .?8 (8) 1 (8) Z (8) .?COM So now the countries have finally formally submitted a request to the crosser to negotiate, and agreed to negotiate separately with the crosser, although there is no Russia among them, but it is also very good.

Moreover, the negotiation time set by the countries is April 4, and there are still 22 days before now, so it is enough for the travelers to arrange personnel, sort out relevant materials and other things, so Qin Zheng also agreed.

Such a major external matter is by no means something that Qin Zheng can decide alone, although the crossing group also needs this negotiation, but this is a separate negotiation between the crossing group and various countries, and the negotiation strategy and negotiation conditions of each country will not be the same, and it needs to be discussed in detail to determine, so Qin Zheng decided to return to Tianjin and negotiate with the executive committee, and the matter in Shanghai will be temporarily handed over to Li Sanjie to deal with.

During the time when Qin Zheng was not in Shanghai in the previous stage, Li Sanjie planned a large march of Shanghai students, actively negotiated with the British and Japanese consuls in Shanghai, and reached preliminary consultations with Britain and Japan. And these behaviors have also been praised by the Executive Committee, so Qin Zheng can rest assured that he will hand over the affairs of Shanghai to Li Sanjie.

During this period, Qin Zheng's main work, in addition to actively publicizing the victory of the traversers, after his political advocacy, was to give lessons to the students in Shanghai and lecture on modern Chinese history, and at the same time, he also imperceptibly introduced the political ideas of the traversers to them.

At this time, Qin Zheng had already finished seven lectures, including the first and second opium wars, the Taiping Rebellion and other historical stages. The evaluation has its own unique opinions, and it also talks about some major things in the same period of the world, and actively interacts with the students who listen to the lecture, allows students to ask questions, and answers them in detail and seriously, all of which are well received by the students who listen to the lecture, so there are more and more students who come to listen to Qin Zheng's lectures, and at the most, there are more than 5oo people.

The handouts provided by Qin Zheng for each class are also seriously unsupplied, because many students who were unable to attend the lectures, or who did not listen to the previous lectures, mainly understood the content of each lecture through the handouts, and finally decided to come to the scene to listen to the lectures. The handouts were mainly copied by hand, which certainly could not meet the needs of the students, so some small printing workshops printed the contents of the lectures into books for sale. Although the workmanship of these pamphlets is very crude, there are many errors in the handwriting, and there are even problems such as missing words, missing sentences, and inversions, but they are still very sought-after, and every time a line is sold, it is immediately sold out. These small printing workshops also make a lot of money.

After all, no matter how rough and sloppy these pamphlets are, they are still less troublesome than copying, and the price is not expensive, so many students buy pamphlets and then go to others to borrow them to copy and give lectures, and then revise them, so that they can also be used. There are even people who buy these pamphlets in large quantities, revise them, and sell them at a higher price, and they actually sell a lot.

These situations were transmitted to the Shanghai office through the students who came to listen to the lecture, and Qin Zheng and others sighed that although the prohibition of business has been practiced in China's history, the business acumen of the Chinese is not bad at all, and it can be said that business opportunities can be seen at any time.

However, the traverser naturally cannot let this situation continue, because this not only damages the reputation of the traversal group, such a booklet full of errors is widely circulated, and people who do not know may think that the traverser himself is mistaken; and this also hurts the actual interests of the traversal group, now the traversal group has its own printing house, since these handouts have a market, then it is better to print and sell them themselves, so that not only can ensure the quality of the printing, but also can be used for the traversal group to make profits, such a good thing of course can not be given to others. Now the dispute is whether to sell it in Shanghai after it is printed in Tianjin, or to find a good printing house in Shanghai to print, or to simply open a printing factory in Shanghai. And Qin Zheng also plans to submit this matter to the Executive Committee for discussion after returning to Tianjin.

But according to the schedule, just tomorrow, Qin Zheng will officially start to talk about the content of the next lesson - the Westernization Movement, so Qin Zheng also decided to wait until tomorrow after the lecture, because there are still more than 2o days to go, which is quite sufficient, and there is no need to rush these two days.

The lecture starts at 9 o'clock in the morning, usually about 2 hours, and 1 hour interacts with students, but at 8 o'clock, more than 2o students are the first to come to the Shanghai office of the crossing group to help the office set up the venue. Because more and more students came to attend the lectures, even the courtyard of the office could not accommodate it, so a courtyard was demolished outside the office, and a movable wooden fence was usually used to block the fence, and the distance of 5 meters was extended outward during the lecture, although it occupied part of the street, but there was no other way.

And these 2O students are all supporters of the traverser, all of them have participated in the Shanghai parade, and they were all present in the first few lectures, and took notes carefully, and also raised a lot of valuable questions, their attitudes are quite positive, and they absolutely agree with the political ideas of the traverser, so the traverser determined that they are the first batch of personnel to focus on training. Now they basically act as liaison organizers for the traversers in various schools. And because it is much more precedented, it is also familiar with the travelers of the office.

He was about to leave Shanghai in the afternoon, so Qin Zheng also seized the time to arrange his work arrangements for Li Sanjie, Liu Lantaoling, Li Hongbing, and others after he left.

At this time, I saw Gao Lei with two students, a man and a woman, to find Qin Zheng. And these two students Qin Zheng also know, the male is called Du Jingping, the female student is called Xue Jinqin, both of them are activists, because they are Xue Jinqin, they are one of the few female students in this era, and she also has a sister named Xue Jinxia, both have received a new education, and support the political ideas of the traverser, but Xue Jinqin's performance is more active, during the march in Shanghai, Xue Jinqin gave a public speech in front of the British Consulate, accusing the aggression of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which won her a lot of prestige, and Yan Ran has become the leader of the female students.

Among the traversers in the Shanghai office, Gao Lei is the youngest, these students are similar in age, and because of the mistakes he has made before, Gao Lei has calmed down a lot, has more mature temperament, and is a little less young and crazy, so he also intends to make friends with the students, so he quickly became familiar with it, and now he is mainly playing the role of liaison between students and traversers.

Seeing Qin Zheng and the others, Gao Lei said: "Political commissar, director, you take a look at this first, this is brought by classmates Du and Xue." Saying that, Gao Lei handed the two newspapers in his hand to Qin Zheng and Li Sanjie.

The two took the newspaper, first read the registration, and then looked at each other's newspapers, these two newspapers are not influential tabloids, one of which the two have not even heard of, but the genuine headlines are related to the traverser, one is "Overseas Chinese, not my race], and the other is "After overseas Yidi, I dare to claim to be a descendant of China].

One article claims that although overseas Chinese claim to be descendants of China, they have been exiled overseas after being the remnants of the previous dynasty, but there is no way to verify it, and the words, behaviors, customs, and habits of overseas Chinese are different from those of the previous dynasty, so it is concluded that overseas Chinese are not descendants of China; Forgetting the teachings of the saints and advocating the learning of overseas Yidi can no longer be regarded as a descendant of China.

Xue Jinqin's hands clenched into fists, and he said indignantly: "Political Commissar Qin, these two articles have been written too much, since the elders returned to China, they have turned the tide and helped the building, so that our China will not fall into the hands of foreigners, destroy the country and perish, and they actually question the identity of the elders, which is really hateful." ”

Du Jingping also said: "Yes, the students are very angry when they see it, is this obviously nonsense? Therefore, they all want to go to these two newspapers for theory, and want to ask the opinions of the elders." ”

Qin Zheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "No need, justice is in the hearts of the people, as long as we are worthy of our hearts, our ancestors, and Huaxia, it's fine, so why bother what others say?"

After hearing this, the two of them also greatly admired Qin Zheng's bearing, and Du Jingping said: "The elders are all humble and admirable, but these two newspapers slander the chief so much, do they just ignore it?"

Qin Zheng said: "The clear is self-purifying, the turbid is self-turbid, and the merits have their own public opinion, let him go." ”

Xue Jinqin said: "But you have to respond, it's better for the elders to write an article and find a newspaper to publish it to refute them." ”

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "We are very grateful for the kindness of classmate Xue, but these small papers publish such articles, which are nothing more than gimmicks, eyeballs, and take the opportunity to hype up, and if we really respond, they will be more energetic, and even more nonsense articles, so it is better to ignore them, after a few days, they will feel bored, and they will be gone." ”

Liu Lantao also said: "Yes, let it wind in the southeast and northwest, I will not move, if I respond, I will fall into their trap." The two of you are indeed a good intention, and we have both received it, but such a tabloid, just ignore them. ”

Seeing that both of them said this, although Du Jingping and Xue Jinqin were still unwilling, they couldn't say anything more, so they had to say goodbye to Qin Zheng and the others and leave the room.

And after they left, Li Sanjie said with a smile: "I can't imagine that in this era, there are also people who use fame to play copying." ”

Liu Lantao said: "This shows that the minds of the ancients are no worse than those of modern people, and the set that modern people play is actually played by the ancients, so we must not underestimate the ancients." ”

Qin Zheng said: "Strictly speaking, this era is already a modern society, so it cannot be regarded as ancient, modern society is nothing more than a bit of Schindler, simple people compare people, that era is almost the same." ”
