Chapter 150 Nanyang Cultural Strategy
Chen Xuan's reason for returning to China was to bring his wife and children home to visit relatives, so he did not get off the ship in Shanghai, but went directly to Nantong by boat.
Originally, Zhang Jian was invited to go north to Mongolia with Sun Zhiheng in order to ease the relationship between the two sons-in-law, but after Zhang Jian heard about Sun Zhiheng's plan, he felt that he could not provide any help to Sun Zhiheng, and Zhou Shumo, who had lived in the northeast for a long time, was more suitable, so Zhang Jian stayed in Nantong.
In fact, subconsciously, Zhang Jian still felt that he had really betrayed his son-in-law's trust, and Chen Xuan's purpose in inviting him to go north He also knew that seeing the task he performed was not indispensable, but the steps that his son-in-law gave him to go downstairs, so Zhang Jian naturally refused.
Chen Xuan arrived in Nantong, the local officials and gentry came to greet him, although Chen Xuan is not an official of the Great Presidential Palace, but no one will doubt Chen Xuan's huge energy, since he can't find a job in the Great Presidential Palace, why can't he vote for someone else, this year, the city has changed the Great King's Banner more, maybe one day he will also be developed.
The local gentry and merchants wanted to set up a banquet for Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan refused their invitation on the pretext that he had something to discuss with Zhang Jian, but promised to invite them back when he left Nantong.
Now one of Chen Xuan's wives is Zhang Jian's daughter, this is already an open secret, but no one will be stupid enough to open this layer of window paper, Zhang Jian is not easy to mess with, is Chen Xuan easy to provoke, and the big president in the capital, he can't do anything with Chen Xuan, can't he take his own people?
When he arrived at the Zhang family's mansion, Zhang Jian still did not go out to greet him, but just let his eldest son Zhang Xiaoqin and second son Zhang Xiaoruo lead the family to welcome Chen Xuan and Zhang Youwei's mother and son into the house lively.
At the suggestion of his mother-in-law, Chen Xuan knew that Zhang Jian was alone in the study, so he went to Zhang Jian's study by himself.
The door of the study was not closed, so Chen Xuan knocked on the door and walked in by himself.
"Son-in-law Chen Xuan, meet your father-in-law."
"What are you going to do?"
"The little son-in-law came before, first, he brought Youwei and Gong'er to meet his father-in-law, mother-in-law and family, and second, the son-in-law asked his father-in-law for help!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"That's right."
Chen Xuan got up from the ground, unfolded a map, and introduced Zhang Jian to what happened in Nanyang.
"Judging from the situation you introduced, haven't you already done a good job, and what else do you need me to do?"
"My father-in-law is taking the exam, and now the situation in Nanyang, military and commercial politics, we have enough ability to implement our own established policies, but there is a great lack of culture, if my Chinese culture can not penetrate into all aspects of Nanyang, even if we have a strong military foundation, one day we will be driven out of Nanyang, and my father-in-law is the champion of the Qing court, to borrow a sentence from Liu Da poet, my father-in-law is: talking and laughing with Confucianism, there is no white ding, and the important task of spreading Chinese culture in Nanyang, It must be the father-in-law, the son-in-law implores the father-in-law to plan for the long-term peace and stability of Nanyang, and everything excuses! ”
"This is indeed a good thing, but my Dasheng Yarn Factory is now in the process of reform, but I am afraid that there is no time to go to Nanyang!"
Chen Xuan knew that Zhang Jian had actually been moved a long time ago, but he was still hypocritical on the surface, so he also cooperated.
"Please father-in-law, Dasheng is only related to the honor and disgrace of a family, at most it will add the livelihood of thousands of people, but the cause of Nanyang is related to the survival of millions of Chinese, which is more important than the father-in-law will weigh it, and listen to Youwei said, Brother Xiaoqin is a high-achieving student in the United States, and with the assistance of other people, it is easy to run Dasheng, so please don't refuse the ardent expectations of the Nanyang Chinese."
"What are you going to do?"
"We plan to build Confucius Institutes and Taoist temples in major cities in Nanyang, and build Zhongliang Temple, Confucian Temple and Wushen Temple in the newly built Jinling to pay tribute to the predecessors and sages of our Chinese nation, such as Confucius and other great writers enter the Confucian Temple, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and other national heroes enter the Martyrs' Temple, Sun Wu and other military strategists enter the Martial God Temple, enjoy the worship and sacrifice of the Quartet, and the incense continues every year."
"And these, it must be a prestigious and well-connected person to preside, unless it is the flattery of the son-in-law, the most suitable for this job is indeed an adult!"
"This is a major event for my Chinese nation, okay, I will promise you, I will invite some old friends to go to the South Seas with you in the next few days."
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed, the hurdle in Weng and his son-in-law's hearts was finally gone, and Zhang Youwei of the province sighed every day.
"It's not enough for you to do this, you still have to vigorously set up Chinese language education, carry out calligraphy and painting exhibitions, prepare for Chinese newspapers, don't you set up a film company in Shanghai, and you also have to carry out free screenings of Chinese films in Nanyang, there are many storytellers in the mainland, these people have flexible brains to learn other languages quickly, they can be introduced into Nanyang, and they must also vigorously promote the 。。。。。。 of national festivals."
"Father-in-law, how can I have so many people on my hands, aren't you trying to force me to death?"
"You don't have to wait for me, you stay at home for a few days, go back to Shanghai first to busy your going, I use my connections to invite some people to go to Nanyang with me first, and then send a telegram to Zhou Shumo and Cheng Dequan, the two old things, they are only a lot more than me, let them also write to invite some, and Zhang Taiyan, as a master of Chinese culture, he should also make a contribution, Gu Hongming of Nanyang is also in Shanghai now, he should be happy to go home to see。。。。。。"
The more Zhang Jian spoke, the more excited he became, and he began to dance a little.
"Will this kind of manpower transfer have an impact on our domestic development in the future?"
Chen Xuan frowned and asked.
"I will make a selection, those who have a lot of influence in China and are determined to do the cause of the Baath Party will stay in China for the time being, and those whose influence is generally ambiguous can be introduced into Nanyang in large quantities, and even masters who do not agree with us can be invited to Nanyang to participate in various exhibitions, so that they can see what we are doing?"
"Good! Everything is handed over to my father-in-law, and the cultural development of Nanyang will be entrusted to you in the future, it will be a matter for thousands of generations, please don't be careless! ”
Zhang Jian glanced at Chen Xuan, as if to say: Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat rice, I need you to tell him, Chen Xuan smiled and didn't speak.
Chen Xuan had to leave after staying in Nantong for three days, Gu Weijun had already sent people to urge Chen Xuan several times, obviously the British and French sides put a lot of pressure on Gu Weijun, and it was unrealistic to delay the time any longer, and now was not the time to conflict with these European and American powers.
If they suddenly stop fighting in Europe and work together to deal with Chen Xuan, then Chen Xuan's vigorous career is afraid that it will go bankrupt, no! It is ironclad bankrupt, and there is no power to resist, so it will have to take the Baath Party to fight guerrillas in the future.
Chen Xuan did not take Zhang Youwei and her son away, but secretly answered Shanghai on February 15.
Now Chen Xuan's return to China has touched the hearts of many people, whether it is Xiao Jin in Annan or President Yuan Da in the capital, they are all wondering what this kid will do when he returns to China?
Pudong, Zhenhua Group Headquarters Conference Room.
There are Du Yuesheng, Zhao Xuechu, Zhang Jingyun, Gu Weijun, Huang Kan, Jiang Fangzhen and others in the room.
"Shaochuan, what's the situation now?"
"Since the outbreak of the Lanfang Uprising, the European and American powers have been making appointments to meet you, and at first everyone maintained enough demeanor, but as the uprisings in various parts of the South Seas intensified, all countries could not sit still, especially Britain and France. The party's Xiao Dashuai is fighting with the French, and he has repeatedly failed, not only Annam, but also various movements in Laos and Cambodia, Xiao Jin's forces have infiltrated these places, the French are anxious, and they are looking forward to reinforcements from the British, and they never thought that Nanyang was also unstable. ”
"The Malay colony of the British was originally on Lanfang Island, the South Island was vigorous, and the North Island naturally could not be unaffected, and now the Malay Peninsula is also surging, the British have mobilized a fleet to station on the Malay side, and the Yankees are also anxious, Malay is not far away, is their Philippine colony far away? The Russians and the Japanese are also trying to take advantage of it, and this time we seem to have stabbed a hornet's nest! ”
"The European and American powers seem to be working together to force us to make concessions this time, but the minds of the Germans and Italians and Austria-Hungary are a little unpredictable!"
"It's not surprising that Britain and France were originally members of the Entente, and they had a painful experience, while Germany and Italy were allies, and they had no conflict of interest with us, so it was ambiguous, what they were afraid of was that the independence of Lanfang Island would trigger a domino effect, and it would not be in their interests for the colonies to make trouble, by the way, what do you estimate their bottom line?"
"Naturally, let's hurry up and calm the situation in the South Seas and calm all over the world!"
"Don't they want to get these places back?"
Huang Kan is a master of Chinese studies, but his political ability is still not comparable to that of others here.
"Think, how could you not want to! But they also know that with the pitiful strength of the Dutch, there must be no way to take us, and they want other countries to contribute money and people to help the Dutch, they do not have such noble sentiments, and they are also afraid that they will be dragged into the quagmire of war, and our navy will naturally not be able to beat them, but our army has occupied the three large islands in the South Ocean in more than a month, and they have to weigh the pay-for-gain ratio! ”
"In this way, you can help me invite the consuls of various countries in Shanghai, and say that I will have a banquet for them at the Pearl Hotel in Pudong tomorrow night, and then you, Brother Fang Zhen, and Brother Xuechu will accompany me to the banquet.
"They're just afraid they'll let us go to the concession!"
"Don't bother with them, they don't love to come, and it's not us begging them, give in before they start, then it's a fart!"
