976 [Farewell]
It was the weekend on the day of leaving Lizhuang, and more than half of the teachers and students of Tongji University came to the dock to see Zhou Hexuan off. Members of various institutions in Qianchuan also came, and even colleagues from the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica, who were far away in Lifeng Academy, walked seven or eight miles to the wharf, just to wave goodbye to Zhou Hexuan.
This has nothing to do with fame and academic status, but purely thanks to Zhou Hexuan for his great help.
Not to mention anything else, the daily necessities transported by Zhou Hexuan had been distributed three days ago. Scholars, teachers and students can finally bathe with soap, brush their teeth with tooth powder, and eat a few meals of white rice. Even in two months, Li Zhuang will be able to get electricity, and they will not have to light vegetable oil lamps every night to live.
"Mr. Zhou, let's go!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou!"
"Take care!"
“……”
The gentry and scholars and professors came over to shake hands and say goodbye, while the students watched silently, and in the distance, there were people from the town who had come to watch the bustle.
Zhou Junshi, the president of the same university, said: "Mr. Zhou, tell us something." ”
Zhou Hexuan nodded, and said loudly to the crowd: "Friends, classmates, folks. There is no doubt that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has reached its darkest and lowest point, with China's finances collapsing, China's external communications being completely blocked, and all theaters suffering successive defeats. But don't be discouraged, this is the darkness before dawn, because the United States is about to enter the war. President Roosevelt not only promised to provide China with a credit loan, but also intercepted and shipped advanced planes to China in support of Britain, and was preparing a U.S. support flight team for China. As long as the United States formally intervenes in the war, then Japan is finished, because most of Japan's strategic materials need to be imported from the United States. At that time, Japan will not have enough steel to make guns, not enough fuel to drive tanks and planes, and victory in the war will undoubtedly belong to China......"
In recent years, a series of articles by Zhou Hexuan have long been famous throughout the country, and various prophecies have been fulfilled, and even attracted the attention and research of international scholars.
Everyone listened intently, they needed spiritual encouragement, and they only listened to Zhou Hexuan continue: "I know that everyone's life is very difficult, but the Japanese are not much better than us. Just a few months ago, the Japanese government issued a decree that mandated food rations for residents, forcing Japanese civilians to limit their staple food to no more than 330 grams per day. Residents of Japan's big cities generally do not have enough to eat, and the Japanese peasants are even more miserable, and there are people dying of hunger everywhere. Now it's up to us to see who can't bear it first, and who can carry it to the end. If China can persist in the War of Resistance for another two or three years, then there will be no need to fight, and a lot of Japanese civilians will starve to death! The same is true of the Japanese army, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese soldiers wore cowhide shoes, and now they can only wear canvas rubber shoes. I think in two years, the Japanese soldiers will ask us Chinese soldiers how to weave straw sandals. ”
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone laughed, it was a good joke out of a bitter one.
Zhou Hexuan said: "China is like a weak elephant, and Japan is a wolf. This wolf keeps biting and eating the flesh and blood of the elephant, but it is also consuming physical strength, and when it is too tired to bite, it will inevitably be trampled to death by the elephant! ”
"little Japan!"
"That's right, little Japan!"
"Consume it, consume it."
A student from Tongji Institute of Technology shouted loudly, and the other students followed suit.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Now everyone's life is difficult, mainly because of the serious depreciation of the fiat currency. The depreciation of the fiat currency and the soaring prices of goods are due to the war and the government, but they are also the consequences of the Japanese. In order to crush our economy, the invading Japanese army has counterfeited at least 3 billion Chinese legal tender in recent years. I hope that everyone can grit their teeth and persevere, and if materials are scarce, then overcome difficulties through what they have learned. You are all the hope of China's future, and nothing can knock you down......"
"Mr. Zhou, we are not afraid of difficulties!"
"Yes, we are not afraid of difficulties."
"China will win!"
“……”
Zhou Hexuan didn't deliberately mobilize his emotions, and those students were already excited, raising their fists and shouting one by one.
Zhou Hexuan bowed deeply, turned around and walked towards Xiaojianglun, and countless people behind him waved goodbye.
These scholars, teachers and students have made great contributions to the country, regardless of cultural research, teachers have also taken the lead in joining the army to resist Japan, and countless top experts have come out of medical schools and engineering colleges. Their most well-known contribution to the locals is to make the "hemp foot warm" disappear in the southern Sichuan area.
This disease made doctors helpless, and experts and professors from Tongji Medical College quickly determined that it was barium poisoning through research experiments, and found out that it was caused by barium chloride in table salt.
That's the power of science.
However, the gentlemen and masters are sometimes too stubborn, and most people look down on Chinese medicine. And Li Zhuang was short of Western medicine, so they would rather suffer from illness and resolutely not take traditional Chinese medicine, and as a result, many people died of real illness.
In order to correct the medical attitudes of the locals, these gentlemen set up a health clinic in the town. At first, some local residents went to see a doctor, but there was no medicine, so the doctor could only tell the patient to drink more boiled water, and over time, no one went to the health center to see a doctor, and the locals jokingly called them "boiled water doctors".
Xiaojiang slowly sailed away from the dock, because the sun was too dazzling, Jin Yuelin got on the boat and walked into the cabin.
Jin Yuelin needed to go to Yibin to buy chickens, so he left with Zhou Hexuan's boat. However, the direction is just the opposite, Zhou Hexuan can only send him to Yibin and come back, which is only 20 miles by water, and he can reach it soon.
"Mingcheng, do you think you should also set up a scientific chicken farm in Lizhuang?" Jin Yuelin sighed, "The people of Lizhuang are poorer than those in Kunming. ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "You can find Tongji University to co-set up a chicken farm." ”
Jin Yuelin said cheekily: "I don't have any money, my money is only enough to buy more than ten chickens, and Tongji University doesn't seem to have any money." Why don't you lend me some? ”
"Hahahaha."
Zhou Hexuan laughed, he didn't expect Jin Yuelin to be cautious. He immediately took out a handful of Xian Dayang, took out all the fiat currency on his body, and said, "This money should be enough for start-up capital." ”
Jin Yuelin smiled and said, "You still have money." ”
Zhou Hexuan especially likes Jin Yuelin's character, this person is a true optimist, and he doesn't put things aside at all. Others are more or less affected by the current situation, but Jin Yuelin lives stupidly and happily all day long, and it is estimated that he is still laughing when he is about to starve to death one day.
A pure person treats everything purely, so pure that it is incomprehensible.
Historically, Liang Sicheng's younger brother Li Zhuang visited him two years later and found that Lin Huiyin had lost so much weight that only his skeleton remained, and the whole person was out of shape to the point that he could not recognize him. However, Jin Yuelin is still infatuated, but he must travel thousands of miles to take care of him during the winter and summer vacations, and he does not ask for anything in return.
Are you greedy for Lin Huiyin's beauty?
Apparently not.
