Chen Jian didn't ask more about trade, but mainly asked about the graduating students in Min County and Coastal County.

The vigorous development of education has not yet accumulated to a qualitative change, and at this time, some of the number of full-time technicians is too small, and the number of others is still too small, and they can basically find good jobs in places such as Nanyang Company, banks, and stock futures exchanges. Presumably only a part of careerists understood that this was a bomb that would explode sooner or later, while most seemed to be peaceful.

No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, this is true, even if it is a rebellion, you must keep this in mind.

Everyone at the banquet also had different ideas about Jian Chen's concerns, they thought that Jian Chen would focus on trade, but they didn't think about it, they just asked a few words and stopped mentioning it.

Some people think that it is probably because they are so rich that they don't care at all; There is also some secret speculation that Chen Jian may withdraw his shares or transfer his shares, after all, the slave trade has touched the bottom line of the Mexican Party, and it has been sprayed many times in the newspapers before.

Anyone with a heart will naturally think of this, especially when deliberately asked about opening up a new base of the company in Africa, Chen Jian did not answer, and he understood a lot in his heart.

That night, after Chen Jian and the others rested, some participants of the banquet immediately prepared a fast boat, and secretly sent a letter to their family members or relatives in the name of bringing the news of Chen Jian's return back to Minjun: You must keep an eye on the exchange these days, and once you sell your shares, don't think too much about buying them all.

Early the next morning, a light clipper set sail for the north.

The news of Chen Jian's return came back to Minjun, and the whole city of Min was boiling, although Chen Jian was not the first person in China to officially complete the round-the-world voyage, but he was the organizer of the entire voyage.

The new Champa rice varieties, the various Chinese medicine formulas that were sorted out, the activity of the Nanyang Trading Company, the new vegetable staples, and many other things had an impact on every aspect of the coastal counties that could not be ignored.

The vast majority of the officials of Min County, including the county guard, most of the tycoons in Mincheng, and all kinds of capitalists who had interests with Chen Jian decided to greet them, and prepared a grand welcome ceremony.

After landing on the shore, Chen Jian also delivered a speech on the great significance of the round-the-world voyage, and the audience thundered with firecrackers, took a car around the newly built cement and gravel road in Fujian, postponed the dinner that day, and returned to the Central Party Headquarters of the Mexican Party to make some reports.

There is nothing wrong with the big questions, there is no need to be careful about the small ones for the time being, there has been a correspondence before, the organization is not yet a strict vanguard party, the naivety and carelessness and the ideals of freedom and romance are rampant in the special environment, but in any case like-minded welcome is always the most comfortable.

After saying something else, Jian Chen asked a question about religion, and the local attendees laughed.

"It's not that there weren't missionaries who came to us before, and that was an incidental part of the trade agreement with Spain. The top was pushed to Minjun, and the county guard said hello to us and pushed it to Nan'an. ”

Speaking of this, many people couldn't hold back their laughter, and couldn't help but laugh: "Nan'an! That's Nan'an, where we have the deepest roots. Yu Yuanshan probably also understood, and greeted us in advance. Less than a year after the two missionaries went, one sailed to Paraguay to build their Jesuit kingdom. The other one isn't dead yet, but we're probably going soon. ”

Chen Jian praised: "Coming soon? It is not easy to persist in Nan'an until now. ”

Everyone laughed and said, "It's not that you're leaving, it's that you're about to become a heresy as they say, and a while ago he came to us to ask what the Tao is." ”

"If it were elsewhere, there would definitely be a lot of believers, but in Nan'an, they really couldn't develop. There are cooperatives and associations for employees in the mining area, and if there is a problem, look for a union, and if there is a problem, look for an organization. In the county, we took control of all the schools, took over relief and charity, and organized several model collective cooperative textile factories. Every decade, the popularization of science and the education of world view spread throughout the taverns and teahouses. The countryside is either a big farm or a cooperative farm of yeoman farmers that we help. Several secondary schools and technical schools are also located in Nan'an. ”

"The means at their disposal are nothing more than the establishment of small circles of mutual aid, grassroots organizations, community rituals, and occasionally help to heal the sick or whatever. The problem is that our organization is all doing these things, and we have more money, and as for the sense of belonging, we have theater, street performances, off-season activities, and organizational life. They just can't compare. ”

"Some of the penmen in the main party have to find fault with the debate every ten years, and some of the rest of the progressive league will come here. No one can stand it if they are replaced, and it is not easy for that person to be forced away to hold on for so long. According to them, the surroundings are not just hereticals, but purgatory where blasphemy prevails. ”

The crowd also told some interesting stories or embarrassments that the missionaries encountered in Nan'an, and when they talked about the story of the missionary who was forced to leave, Chen Jian also leaned back and forth.

"The missionary told the story of five loaves and two fish that day, and there was a burst of boos below. At that time, a chemistry student in the school stood up and shouted: It's nothing, everything is made of particles, and everything in the world is just a recombination of particles. When the bread was burned, there were charcoals and water. In the future, when science is developed, we can just stuff the heat that has been burned back into the charcoal and water, and we will be able to turn it into bread. Although we can't do it now, I believe that one day we will definitely be able to, and then everyone will be a god. ”

"You weren't there, but the missionary's face turned green when he said that. I guess if it's just a group of heretics or lost people they say, this group of people who are full of thoughts about the future that they can also be 'gods' can't stand it. ”

"The next day, your senior brother from Minjun came over again and asked for advice on the issue of creation. The missionary was overjoyed, and at last there was someone who insisted on asking for advice. Your brother made a buckle and asked, "Can God really divide water into air?" The missionary nodded hurriedly, thinking that this man would be among them. Your senior brother asked again: It's really amazing, and only God can do it if you can turn water into air, right? The missionary nodded again, thinking that your brother was convinced. But I don't want your brother to come the next day with a set of electrolyzed water devices, and then say that he may be the reincarnation of God, and ask the missionary to write a letter to the Holy See and send someone to pick him up as soon as possible. ”

"Your senior brother is also a playful person, so he immediately went out and hyped it up. You also know that there are not only a few people in Minjun, but when even if someone reads the Book of Genesis and comes one after another, it is really an endless stream, and because of who is the reincarnation of God in front of the missionary. ”

"The next day the missionary went back to Mincheng and left by boat, but his companion was interested in learning and is now studying in Nan'an."

A group of people laughed, and Jian Chen quipped: "Nan'an is a group of people who believe that they are their own gods, and it is difficult for them." It is a good idea to sigh Yuanshan, but it is estimated that it is not good-hearted, if it is really done, in the future, a slogan to eliminate evil cults can subvert Nan'an. In short, this matter is laughable, but don't think that the distant mountains are here to see jokes, it's better to be careful in everything, and don't take those people for fools. ”

A group of young people who grew up in a special environment who have not experienced real bloody storms really didn't think about it so much, and the entire party was also naïve, full of idealism and fantasy, and was poured down by Chen Jian with such a basin of cold water, and several people felt the hidden danger in it, and scolded: "If it's true, then it's a little too terrible." ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing, but it always doesn't hurt to prepare early." Okay, now let's be clear, no one in the party owns a stake in Nanyang, right? ”

"Except for you, they're all withdrawn. Those who did not withdraw were also cleared out. Now that everyone is back, why not have a meeting? ”

"I've been at sea for too long, I'm not familiar with many things, and some documents still have to be read and learned. It would definitely be open, but not right now. In this case, I suggest sending a ship to bring back some of the people in the Great Wilderness City, except for those in Wangbei City and those in Europe, and send representatives as much as possible. The date may be set later, and in half a year, I will go to the capital to unload some things, and I have already written the details in the report, and if there is no problem, I will leave as soon as possible. There's a banquet tonight, I still have to attend, and I'll withdraw my shares tomorrow, so I have to do these things first. ”

Several people looked at Jian Chen, nodded and said, "That's the case, everyone discussed it before." For the matter of your withdrawal, publicity must be publicized. But the essay on the evils of slavery should not be too long, and it should not criticize more people in the form of moral criticism, after all, there are too many people involved. This is not right from other perspectives, and the reason for your withdrawal is because of the ban within the organization, not because of moral criticism. ”

After handing over a document, Jian Chen glanced at it a few times and said, "I agree." Just because of the dignity of the army, we have gained a lot of resentment, and many people do not understand. Let's not touch the keen nerves of the small citizens who hold shares in this matter. I don't know if our pace has changed, but I still hold my opinion, the road must be taken one step at a time, for the time being they are our political allies, first win those political goals that we have in common and then go our separate ways. ”

"There is basically a consensus on this issue. Everyone is confident about the future and has set a pace for the present, but what about the near future? How to go on the bloody road where small producers were crushed? Is there any other way to crush it without being so cruel? ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said: "Everyone will definitely think about this problem in half a year, let's talk about it then, I don't know." ”

Everyone nodded their heads and didn't discuss the issue again, and then gave Jian Chen, Lan Qi, and the rest of the high-ranking personnel on the ship a pass to go through some special documents and records. Even after being away for a long time, these people were still elected without being present. Chen Jian and the others also handed in some special notes and other things, and left first to prepare for the withdrawal of shares.
