"Li Wenzhong's Public Collection: Diary": "...... Talking with Lin Kunyu, I gained a lot,...... Kunyu said that the reason why Western countries are rich and strong is because of the revitalization of industrial and commercial affairs, the unhindered business affairs, and the easy collection of various companies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info everything, independent is difficult to support, the crowd is easy, the lonely is discouraged, and the help is wise. The capital of Western companies is worth tens of millions, and it is definitely beyond the financial resources of one person and one family. However, if there are things to be done and benefits to be prospered, the news will be broadcast and the rich businessmen will set up, and the stocks will be released and a huge amount of money will be established. The essence of its planning, the purity of customs, and the goodness of its regulations are enviable. ”

"Kunyu said that the Westerners worship the holy religion of 'the people are the foundation of the state', and the Westerners say that there are three ways to seek the country, namely to settle the people, to raise the people, and to teach the people. What is the so-called supporter? …… The first is to build machinery for manufacturing, the second is to build railways to save freight, the third is to set up post offices and daily newspapers to communicate information, the fourth is to establish peace treaties and trade to expand the right of commerce, and the fifth is to increase the number of consuls and yamen to ensure business travel...... Listening to his words, Fang knew that the Western Kingdom was so rich and strong that they all worked hard to raise the people and educate the people. And those who talk about Western law in the world only say: 'fine manufacturing, good munitions, and wide ship weapons', or the end! ”

"Husbands and merchants are the temple of the four people of China, and the Westerners rely on merchants as the lifeblood of creating a country, building a family, opening things, and achieving affairs. Cover the merchant can do what he has learned and learn to be refined, the farmer can plant and prosper, the worker can sell what he does and make the benefit, is the one who holds the outline of the four people, and the business also. This principle was unknown in the four seas before, and not in one of the six classics; However, there are real coupons that can be manipulated by foreign countries to create such a scale, and it is difficult to adhere to China's old theory of 'respecting the original and suppressing the last'. ”

"China employs people with the suspicion of the rich, and Western customs employ people with the rich as virtuous, and there are opposites. Those who monopolize the market by looking left and right are called 'cheap husbands', and for thousands of years in China, no fool knows cheap ,...... It is called "copper smell" and "miser" is reprimanded, and the Chinese custom is also. The most important gentry in the countries of Taixi, and those who are elected by the gentry will be in the house of the rich. …… As for the ministers and prime ministers of the ministries, they are not wealthy lords, that is, rich celebrities, who think that they do not worry about food and clothing, and only care about decency, and there is no one who does not wholeheartedly seek the country. ”

"Kunyu said a few words for the proposed China Merchants Bureau's 'full reform of Yin businessmen, and the official only collects profits and protects', talked for a long time, and fell in love. ……”

Fuzhou, Mawei Port.

The winter in Fuzhou is also quite cold, because it is located south of the Yangtze River, and this damp cold is beyond imagination. Facing the open sea and the river, Fuzhou is always rich in water vapor, which makes its winter more humid and dignified. For more than ten days, the sky was always gloomy, and the mottled shadows of the trees had become a luxury, and the cold naturally wandered in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City without fear. For the winter in Fuzhou, in the hearts of literati and artists, they will think that it lacks some of the temperament that winter should have, probably because of the lack of snow. After all, snow is like stars in the night sky, and if you lose it, it is not charming enough; Just like salt in a dish, there is no taste without it. For Fuzhou, there may be only three seasons: spring, summer, and late autumn. If you ask foreigners living in Fuzhou, a treaty port, what they remember most about the weather in Fuzhou, most of them will say, "There are no leaves in autumn and no snow in winter." "Because, when autumn comes, there is no golden color of the fallen leaves that go north; When winter comes, there is only cold rain left.

It was the middle of winter, and the cold sea breeze was blowing from time to time, Shen Baozhen felt the chill on his body, and couldn't help but tighten the leather robe on his body.

Although the weather was very cold, Shen Baozhen had no intention of going home to rest, his eyes still looked at the sea in the distance from time to time, full of anticipation.

At this time, in his mind, he still recalled the deafening words written by Lin Yizhe.

"The source of the prosperity and strength of the Chasi country...... There are about five major ends: "

"One is to pass the people's morale: use the township to elect to set up the upper and lower houses, and there is no jealousy in case of trouble; Whoever is not convenient to the people, he will try to make it better; The actual investigation of the household version of life and death marriage, the detailed record, no husband can not do it, then the love between the top and bottom is the same. ……”

"The second is to protect the people's livelihood: there is no risk of accidents for all people's wealth, land, utensils, and financial bribes; retired officials and received half of their salaries; The old and sick soldiers will be raised for life; The old and the young, the sick, and the dead are all educated by the bureau, so the officials have no greed for ink and no retreat in battle. ……”

"Three are the hearts of the people: young children, teach to read; Slightly longer, taught in the sense of the text; Measure its material, divide it into arithmetic, painting, gas, chemistry, or specialize in one art, and there is no waste of scholars for life; Why? There is the circulation of new newspapers, and the preaching of the society. ……”

"Fourth, it is said that there is no cruel punishment in the western country, and the crime stops at hanging, long-distance fighting, hard labor, and the rest are only imprisoned and fined; The prison is extremely clean, and it teaches recitation, crafts, medicine, no restraints, no whipping, and everyone knows that they are afraid of punishment, dare not break the law, and are almost unforgotten; Parents do not rebuke their sons, and the head of the family does not scold his servants, and they are in order; Men and women sit together, talk and laugh but not ****, all of which have the effect of raising shame. ……”

"Five said Fu people's wealth: its wealth in the people three essentials, first, do your best, that is, water conservancy, planting, gas, chemistry; Second, do your best, be good at specialty, work easy, use machines, and save time; 3. As far as the financial resources are exhausted, there are companies and silver numbers, and the accumulation of baht can be invested in shares to earn interest, and they will be remitted into a large work, and there are banknotes and gold and silver money for transshipment, then one can be worth ten. ……”

"These five items are all based on the 'people-oriented' of the Holy Religion, which is based on the Western learning of Fanzi and the actual origin of the East. Why not take their strengths and make up for their shortcomings? ……”

These are from the content of the "Supplementary Commentary on the Examination of the Holy Way of the Western Kingdom" dedicated by Lin Yizhejin to the center.

Those articles written by Lin Yizhe have been a must-read article on his desk these days.

Since the central authorities sent the articles and diaries written by Lin Yizhe and Hong Jun to the imperial court ministries and local government offices for "consultation", it caused an uproar in the ideological circles throughout the country.

Shilin's reaction to these articles written by Lin Yizhe was the most intense, but because Lin Yizhe's arguments were too good, and they were well-founded, and they were extremely close to the way of Confucius and Mencius, people could not refute them. On the contrary, some scholars agreed with Lin Yizhe's view that "Fanzi learns from the West, and the real comes from the East", because this view satisfies their vanity of "**** is the center of world civilization", although they are still opposed to learning from the West. In Fujian Province, where Lin Yizhe is originally from Fujian Province, most of the scholars have a positive attitude towards the views of Lin Yizhe's article, and Shen Baozhen's family will avoid the thrill encountered by Chen Xiang's family.

Now Lin Yizhe, before he arrived home, he has become famous all over the world.

Today, it is the day when Lin Yizhe goes home, not only Shen Baozhen came to the dock early, waiting for his return, even the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Li Henian, and the Fuzhou general Wen Yu also led the local officials of Fujian to greet him at the wharf. This has never been done in the history of Fuzhou!

Shen Baozhen never thought that the thin little boy who was adopted by himself and Lin Puqing like a girl would become such a talent.

"It's coming! Here it comes! The crowd shouted at no avail.

Shen Baozhen hurriedly took the telescope from the servant's hand, looked at the sea, and sure enough, he saw a small black dot emitting light smoke gradually getting bigger.

After a while, the "Weiyuan" ship with the dragon flag fluttering appeared majestic.

Shen Baozhen stared at the gradually clear outline of the "Weiyuan" ship, and his hands became a little trembling because of excitement.

Soon, he saw the figure of Lin Yizhe on the flybridge.

"Kunyu ......" Tears oozed from the corners of Shen Baozhen's eyes.

At this time, Lin Yizhe stood on the flybridge of the "Weiyuan" ship, listened to the noisy sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers from the shore, and saw the crowd gathered on the shore and the many official honor guards sandwiched in it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

He never had a concept of "returning home", but he didn't expect to get such treatment.

Seeing the "Weiyuan" ship entering the harbor, the ships of the shipmaster and navy division and the foreign warships anchored in the harbor fired salutes one after another, and the "Weiyuan" ships also saluted in return.

After the "Weiyuan" ship docked at the berth, Lin Yizhe and his entourage got off the trestle, and Li Henian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Wen Yu, the general of Fuzhou, took the lead in welcoming them with a spring breeze.

Lin Yizhe couldn't help but be a little surprised that Li Henian and Wen Yu came to greet him in person, but he quickly figured out what was going on.

That is his identity as the "Governor of Nursing Fujian"!

The current governor of Fujian, Wang Kaitai, has been in poor health, and he has to run between Taiwan and Fuzhou (according to the regulations of the imperial court, the governor of Fujian is stationed in Fuzhou for half a year and Taiwan for half a year), and he fell ill soon after taking office, and before he could not perform his duties, he was the real governor of "nursing Fujian". In addition, he is now a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and he is famous all over the world because of the new articles he recently wrote, Li Henian and Wen Yu, the two old fritters in the officialdom, of course, have to add their hearts to themselves.

"Lin is not talented, how can he work for the two elders to greet him?" Lin Yizhe understood in his heart, but he was humble on his face, and he could even be said to have stepped forward with some trepidation, and made a full appearance of the Qing Dynasty officialdom.

"Brother Kunyu is too humble!" Li Henian's slightly chubby face was full of smiles, and his two beards shook with a smile, "Brother Kunyu has learned from China and the West, Bo Gu and the present, for my Fujian Province's unborn talents, foreigners are praised as 'Oriental New Philosophy', see it today, how fortunate it is!" ”
