Where to restore the country?

Zhu Qiu has asked himself this question many times. Even if he has gone through thirty-six reincarnations, passed the trial of the Purple Emperor Blade, and has experience and wisdom beyond his age or even the same generation, after all, he is still only a seven-year-old boy, his body has not yet been completed, he is a small person, and now his family is broken, and his younger brothers are young, as the eldest son, as the eldest brother, this heavy responsibility naturally has to be shouldered. At this time, if he wants to restore the country, restore a country that has been dead for nearly 300 years, and revive a world that has been dead for nearly 300 years, what do you want him to do with such hardships and hardships? If you want him to be a seven-year-old boy, where to start?

At this moment, Jacobbi asked this question, and Juqiu felt the same way. However, a journey of a thousand miles still has to start with a single step, so let's start now.

"The walls are gone, they can be rebuilt, they can be rebuilt brick by brick! That's not a problem. I would like to ask the rabbi if he has a firm belief in his heart that he must return to the country. ”

Hearing Zhu Qiu's question, Jacobabbi couldn't help but reflect the lights of the ship, and looked at the little boy in front of him again, and saw that his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyebrows were clear, and he was clearly handsome; A small braid on the back of his head, hanging straight to his back, shows that he is a full Qing person, but the front door of his head has grown a new hair, which is very different from the Qing people he has seen - their front head door is shaved and shiny. Rabbi Jacob suddenly felt that the young man was not singing the Jewish ballad at random.

When Rabbi Jacob thought of this, he became solemn, and after years of oppression and wandering, he unconsciously asked, "What are you asking this for?" ”

On the deck at this moment, the figures are sparse, Fang Xiaoru and the others have been taken away by Ma Lei to rest, Jacobirabi's clansmen have also gone down to the cabin to eat, and the rest of the people have long been gone, on the huge deck, at a glance, there are only three of Zhu Qiu.

Hearing Rabi Jacobbi's rhetorical question, Zhu Qiu couldn't help but smile in the dark. He stiffened his shoulders suddenly, and a sense of arrogance came out, and he replied solemnly to Jacobbi Rabi: "I really don't hide it from Rabbi, I, Zhu Qiu, are the descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family that was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, I want to restore the country and restore the clothes of the Han family, and rashly ask Rabbi, just want to form an alliance with Rabi to restore the country!" ”

Xu Xilin frowned, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say anything.

Jacob is more knowledgeable than the history of the Qing Dynasty, and knows that the previous government of the Qing Dynasty is indeed the Zhu Ming Dynasty, but when they met in Pingshui, they said that such a major event, how true are the words?

When Zhu Qiu saw that Jacob Rabi was silent, he knew what was going on. Zhu Qiu said with a smile: "The rabbi must have hesitated in his heart, and when he first met, he lightly talked about such a big thing, and the young man acted too much as Meng Lang, and how much can he trust it?" Such thoughts were common in the minds of the rabbis. But the rabbis can rest assured that my grandmother was a Jew, and according to Jewish rules, my father was also a Jew. I am also of Jewish descent, so I should also contribute to the Zionist nation. ”

After Zhu Qiu finished speaking, he paused for a while, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Rabbi, please come with me." ”

After speaking, he and Xu Xilin turned around and led the way and walked to the cabin. The three of them turned left and right, and after a while, they came to a first-class cabin. Xu Xilin took out the key, opened the door and ushered the two in.

When the three of them sat down, Zhu Qiu glanced at Xu Xilin, Xu Xilin smiled bitterly, and took out a small box from the closet, the box was not big, but it looked quite heavy, because even a man like Xu Xilin was quite difficult to move.

Zhu Qiu opened the small box, and the room suddenly shone with golden light—the box was full of gold!

Juqiu said to Rabbi Jacob: "Rabbimo wants to blame me for being a shallow talker, but it is really a matter of recovering the country, and time is pressing, so I have to do this. This gold is for the sake of my people to be used for the restoration of the country, and I would like to give it to the rabbi to do something for me. Before I do that, though, I have to ask the rabbi. Is there a firm conviction in the rabbin's heart that it is necessary to restore the country? ”

After thinking about it again and again, and seeing that Juqiu was not malicious, he was acting in a fair manner, and that the other party was half a Jew, so he let down his guard and replied, "Which Jew does not want to return to the land of milk and honey?" The belief in the restoration of the country in my heart has been deeply rooted in my heart since I was born. Young man, you don't know that I am in Russia, the organizer of the Restoration Organization Bilu, and the heart in my heart to pursue the freedom and independence of the Jewish people has always been beating hotly! ”

Zhu Qiu clapped his hands and said, "That's it, that's good!" However, the great cause of restoration is a treacherous road that requires a lot of money, and I now have a way to provide a steady stream of funds for the restoration of the country in a few decades. It's just that I'm a small person now, and I can't do this. I have heard that the business skills of the rabbis are unparalleled in the world, which is a godsend, and I hope that the rabbis can help me do this, and the capital is here, which is the thirty catties of gold. The profits are divided between you and me, and I don't know what the rabbi wants? ”

Rabbi Jacobis was thrilled, they Jews, similar to our Chinese people, have never lacked talent and talent, but what they lack is opportunity and capital. If there is an opportunity to capital, most of them are blockbusters.

At this time, Jacobabbi is no longer the ignorant youth who organized Billy twenty years ago. The failure of the Belu movement, the massacres committed by the Russian nation, and the upheavals of displacement over the years all made him deeply aware that the restoration of the country, without politics and wealth, would eventually be a flash in the pan and look beautiful. And among the two, wealth is the most fundamental of the fundamentals. With wealth, we can cultivate talents, buy land, build arms, and have a glimmer of hope for the restoration of the country.

Thinking of this, Jacobabbi felt that even if it was a trap, he could take the risk of jumping down and give it a try, and it would be worth it for the sake of recovering his country.

Then Rabbi Jacob said, "Good! I promise you, boy. But I don't know what this road of wealth you are talking about? ”

When Zhu Qiu saw that Rabbi Jacob agreed, a stone settled in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Rabbi thinks that we humans can turn heat into cold?" ”

Rabbi Jacob wondered why Juqiu had asked this, but he still shook his head and said, "As you said, I have seen people do it in Russia, and it is impossible. From cold to hot, we have long known that we can use fire; From hot to cold, I really haven't seen it, and I haven't heard of it. ”

Zhu Qiu continued to laugh and said, "If someone can turn the heat into the cold, the rabbi thinks, is there a profit in this matter?" ”

Rabbi Jacobbi's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be that someone has invented a machine that turns heat into cold?" If it's true, then it's really a rolling source of money. ”

Zhu Qiu still smiled: "Yes, as far as I know, there is indeed a person who invented a machine that turns heat into cold. The man's name was Willis Haviland Carlile, a mechanical engineer at a forging company in Buffalo, West New York, who had just built a machine that could turn heat into cold, which he named the air conditioner. However, he did not know the greatness of this invention now, let alone others. The rabbi went to New York, and when he got there, he could find this person, and he could cooperate with him and set up a company. ”

After hearing this, Rabbi Jacob lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Is the machine powered by electricity?" ”

Zhu Qiu shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, when the rabbi goes to Buffalo and sees Willis, he will naturally know." ”

Rabbi Jacob nodded and said, "That's just as well. However, I also want to ask one more question, you said that you are too young to go to New York, so why don't you let this gentleman next to you go? I think he's shrewd and capable, and he may not be worse than what we do. ”

Zhu Qiu sighed and explained: "The rabbi may not know that now that the storm of Chinese exclusion in the United States is in the ascendant, we Chinese really can't go to the hinterland of the United States such as New York at this time. ”

After hearing this, Rabbi Jacob also sighed and said, "I thought that America was a free place, and I didn't expect that it would also exclude foreign races, and I don't know what will happen to us Jews when we go." ”

"You Jews in America will not be discriminated against." Juqiu reassured: "The rabbi may not know that there is a Jewish American poetess who wrote these lines:

'Come to me,

Sentient beings who desire to breathe freely,

You are tired, poor, and huddled together;

Come to me,

Down-and-out people,

You have been abandoned by your crowded nation;

Send these people, these homeless, displaced people, to me,

I will lift my torch,

The main force awaits you by the Golden Gate. ’

From this poem, it can be seen that the Jewish people of the rabbis lived well in America. So the rabbis don't have to worry about anything. ”

When Rabbi Jacob heard Juqiu recite this poem in a low voice, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, yes, at last, there was a land, no longer discriminating against them, no longer exploiting them, no longer slaughtering them, finally a land that could open its arms and welcome them. This is something that the Jews have not encountered in 2,000 years!

"Since America is so enlightened that even we Jews can accommodate it, why should we exclude you Han Chinese?"

Zhu Qiu still shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason for this. Perhaps the rabbi will know what the problem is when he arrives in New York. It's a small thing, and we're not going to leave it alone. It's a long way to New York, but what else do I need to do? ”

Rabbi Jacob secretly calculated the matter in his heart and said, "Thank you for your kindness, you don't need anything for the time being. I went to New York to find my good friend Farsher Meyer, and to find him, so that we could settle down in New York. ”

Zhu Qiu nodded and said, "It's okay." Then this box of gold, please take it away from the rabbi. ”

Rabbi Jacob shook his head and said, "I'd better leave it with you for the time being, for I have no place to put it, and it won't be safe for me." When I get off the boat, I'll pick it up. Rabbi Jacobi paused for a moment and then said, "Shall we make a covenant now?" ”

Zhu Qiu thought about it and said, "Okay! ”

So Jacob Rabi drafted a contract, and Zhu Qiu and Xu Xilin read it, and saw that the above terms were detailed, clear and concise, and there were no objections. The sticky note was written with the name and surname, in duplicate, and Rabbi Jacob and Juqiu each took it.

The contract between the two nations was thus signed.

At this time, the contract was naturally just a simple commercial contract, which had nothing to do with politics or military affairs. But this was the beginning of the weal and woe of the two peoples, and the stories that were told or forgotten, all of them, began on this night with a box of gold and two pages of tissue paper.

"Where will you be in the future? How can I get the money into your hands? Rabbi Jacob asked suddenly.

"Rabbis don't need to be in a hurry. I won't use the money for three years. The rabbi only needs to concentrate on doing the company well. After that, I will stay in Hawaii for the next few years, and if the rabbi has something, he can send someone to Hawaii to find me. After Zhu Qiu finished speaking, he untied the piece of dragon and phoenix jade jue on his body from his waist, and pressed the mechanism, and the jade jue was immediately divided into two, and the dragon and phoenix were separated. Said: "This is a token, if the rabbi sends someone, just dip the jade and phoenix pattern in cinnabar and cover it on the paper, and hand it over to the person who comes. In the same way, if someone comes to a rabbi with a jade dragon pattern, and the rabbi sees that it is correct, then this person must have been sent by me. After that, Zhu Qiu picked up the dragon and phoenix jade jue with his left and right hands, dipped them in cinnabar, printed the dragon pattern and phoenix pattern on the two pieces of cloth, and then took the phoenix jade and the dragon pattern mark as a token, and handed it to Jacob Rabi.

Rabbi Jacob took the cloth, wrapped the phoenix-patterned jade in his arms and put it away, and said gratefully to Zhu Qiu: "If I, the Jews, can return to my homeland and restore my homeland, I will definitely not forget your generosity. ”

Zhu Qiu smiled and said, "The rabbi is serious. This is just a win-win cooperation between our two races. After speaking, he motioned Xu Xilin to move a small box and said to Jacobir: "The previous box of gold is our covenant. This chest of gold was given by me to the rabbi. New York is a place where American business gathers, and there are many ways to make money, and if a rabbi goes to New York, if he finds a new way of money, this box of gold is the rabbi's start-up capital. ”

Although Rabi Jacob is not very wealthy, he has seen many rich people in the past forty years, but he has never seen such a freehand method as Zhu Qiu, who casually gives away dozens of catties of gold. Although Rabbi Jacobbi's heart was moved, and he knew that when he arrived in New York, he would need many things, but he could not receive this gold. So he shook his head and said, "I can feel the sincerity of the young man, and Yahvi can also feel it. I will pray for you in the presence of Yahvi. But this box of gold, I can't accept it. ”

Zhu Qiu thought sideways for a moment, and then said, "It's me Meng Lang." Well, then, this chest of gold and silver is also counted in our covenant. I have to own 60 per cent of the shares of the air-conditioner company, and I have only 30 per cent of the company from which this box of gold is opened, and the remaining 70 per cent is at the disposal of the rabbi. I don't know what the rabbi thinks? ”

After talking a few times, Rabbi Jacob already knew that although this young man of Zhu Ming's descendants was very young, he had a plan in his heart, as long as he thought of something, he had to achieve his goal. The way Zhu Qiu said this division was really incredible, and it was a good idea for Jacobbi to do it. He was already a little moved at this time, so he said, "Young man, I accept your proposal. The Jews will reward you for what you have done to me. Jahvi will visit you in heaven and make you what you want. ”

Zhu Qiu smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Tomorrow according to my Han calendar, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and it is the custom of our clan to enjoy the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival." If the rabbis are free, they may wish to bring their people to spend the festival with us. Let's have fun together. ”

Rabbi Jacob nodded, and replied, "Such a festive season should indeed be rejoicing." In a few days, according to our Jewish calendar, it will be the Feast of Tabernacles, and I hope you will celebrate it with us. ”

Xu Xilin was standing on the side, and when he heard Rabi Jacobbi's words, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "I didn't expect the festival to be so approaching, and it is estimated that after these festivals, we will arrive in Hawaii, wouldn't it be very happy?" Those kids are going crazy with joy when they don't have to go to class! ”

Zhu Qiu also laughed and said: "It's okay to give them a holiday, the way of civil and martial arts, one by one." It's also a great thing to make them more relaxed and have a little more joy in their childhood. ”
