The money did give a lot, no less than the cost of engraving, a total of 100,000 taels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For an ordinary person, 100,000 taels is a huge amount of money, even for Jews.

But the Sara family is rich in Jews, and although 100,000 taels is also very large, it will not make her see the money.

There is a hidden situation in it, the Russians who have repeatedly taught themselves are excluded from the Jews, the Russian Empire in Siberia, public opinion has finally aroused the anger of the whole people, with the development of Siberian mineral resources, the quality of life of the Russians here is not said that China's great prosperity needs a huge amount of resources, Siberia is one of the most important suppliers, and they have accumulated a lot of wealth through this.

The stomach is full, but the heart is restless.

A large number of young people who grew up after the war, encouraged by anti-Semitic newspapers, firmly believed that it was the Jews who controlled Soviet Russia behind them, that the Jews overthrew the Tsar, and that as part of the Russian Empire, with the Tsar's loyal knightly high-spirited national ideology, there was an organized and barbaric attack on the Jews in Siberia.

The government of the Grand Duke of Nicholas also couldn't change the ****, and under the persecution of public opinion, it once again raised the banner of anti-Semitism, and savagely confiscated the property of many Jewish merchants, including the Sara family.

Although the main assets of the Sara family are in China, especially Tianjin, as a businessman, the loss is not terrible, what they are afraid of is the sudden change, this sudden confiscation of a large amount of property, immediately caused their economic tension, the banks that heard the rumor no longer support them, and even began to tighten the monetary base, for fear that the Jews would not be able to repay the money, and among the people who forced the debt, there were even their compatriots, some Jewish banking families in Harbin.

The confiscation of the Sara's property in Siberia, the uncollectible amount of Russian debts, and the difficulties of future business, the family's main business was the fur industry, Siberia was one of the largest sources, and it was clear that it would be difficult for them to return to Siberia to do business until the end of the Russian exclusion.

Therefore, the predicament is still quite big, so Sara really needs money, which sells the dignity of the artist, and at the request of the North Koreans, he painted a magnificent painting of the battlefield in uniform, and the artistic level is naturally greatly reduced, although Sara's basic skills are solid enough and looks like it, but at most it can only become a handicraft, and it is difficult to call it a work of art.

"Hey, a nation that doesn't know credit, a nation that doesn't know face."

In recent years, Yang Chao has basically made it clear that after the October Revolution, a big reason why Britain refused to allow the Russian tsar to take refuge was the opposition of the Rothschilds, who imposed sanctions on Tsarist Russia because of the Tsar's exclusion of Jews, so Russia could not find a source of investment for a long time, and could only rely on France to promote the Franco-Russian alliance.

The Rothschilds even did not hesitate to threaten the British Treasury at that time, once the tsar took refuge in Britain, they would have to sell British government bonds in the London market, which was a risk that Britain did not dare to take at the critical juncture of the war, anyway, the British royal family did not pay much attention to it at that time, and the Russian royal family could not take refuge in Britain, could they still take refuge in France, they never imagined that the tsarist family would suffer because of this.

They did not expect that the tsar did not hesitate to take refuge because France was a war zone, and after staying in Russia for a while, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the bourgeoisie government was overthrown by Vladimir Lenin.

After learning such a big lesson, I didn't expect the Russians to be anti-Semitic.

Yang Chao did not care about the fate of the Jews, but because of the anti-Jewish exclusion in Russia, a large number of Jews from Siberia poured into the northeast, causing considerable impact.

Thinking of the recent situation of the Jews, Yang Chao thought of Sarah's paintings, which are indeed a people that are easily overlooked, and who can't make a voice in the international community, who will have nothing to pay special attention to, thinking of the Jews, Yang Chao feels that it is time to talk to them.

Let Zhang Nian arrange it and invite several Jewish bigwigs to Shandong for a meeting.

This time, it was not only the Siberian Jewish families such as the Patushinsky and Geshenvich families who were invited, but also the big Jewish families that came to operate earlier in Harbin and Heisenwei in the northeast region, such as Gvarsky, the richest man in Harbin, Joseph Kasp, who ran the famous Modern Hotel, Vladivostok mining giant Skidelsky, and some celebrities, such as the famous doctor and social activist Kaufman, the founder of the Conservatory, musicians Trachkinberg and Gerschgolina, and others.

Previously, Jews in the Northeast, mainly in Harbin, were not very interested in Yang Chao's proposal for them to establish a state in Samoa.

Long before the Balfour Declaration was introduced in Britain, Jews all over the world were determined to restore the country in Palestine, and the Jews in Harbin also formed various organizations to promote it, such as Dr. Kaufman, who was active in his activities, and served as the chairman of the Harbin Association for the Promotion of Jewish Emigration to Palestine, the chairman of the Harbin Zionism Organization, the chairman of the Harbin Committee for the Relief of Jewish Refugees in Europe, and the chairman of the Far Eastern Jewish Autonomous National Committee.

As early as 1902, the earliest immigrants Berkovich, Berzeri, Meyelovich and other 32 Jews collectively signed the "Agreement on the Jews of Harbin Residence", which is similar to the "Mayflower Convention", so that the later Jews have always been bound by a unified organization, so Patushinsky and other Siberian Jews, There has been no voice in the North-East, and the voice of moving to Samoa is weak.

In the last few years, less than 200 people have moved to Samoa and formed two collective farms. However, the farm is good, and the tropical islands of Samoa, if cultivated carefully, are still very harvesty, and the tropical fruits they produce sell well in Australia and New Zealand.

However, this kind of collective farm was obviously born out of the Russian village community system, which the Russians themselves thought was too backward, but the Jews carried forward this system, and later Israel's collective farms became famous abroad, making Israel a famous exporter of agricultural products, and growing modern agriculture in the desert.

In fact, it is not that the system is not good, any kind of system always has peaks and valleys, in the process of social progress, there is always a time when it is not suitable for social development, don't be in a hurry, be patient, slowly improve, can always develop, blindly push to start over, can never develop to a higher form, the Dutch agriculture is also very developed, not born out of the Dutch traditional family farming, but the Dutch will be family farms, developed to the form of horticultural agriculture.

The emigration of Russian Jews to Palestine brought the Russian village agriculture with them, and it developed very well, not only did they not criticize this system, but they always insisted on injecting modern technology and management into the backward collective agriculture, which also had the imprint of Harbin, such as Joseph, a Jewish soldier who was wounded and captured in the Russo-Japanese War? On his way home, Trump Perdau founded the "Palestinian Agricultural Production Cooperative" in Harbin, and today, more than 20 years later, hundreds of immigrants have established several collective farms in Palestine, and Joseph is already a celebrity in Palestine and will become a hero in the future.

The real gap between backward Russian and Soviet Russian agriculture and advanced Israeli agriculture is actually just patience.

To get back to the point, the Jews who were invited to Shandong this time were much more positive about Yang Chao's suggestion.

Not only because of the anti-Jewish exclusion of the Russian Empire, a large number of Siberian Jews moved into the Northeast and became refugees. In recent years, the business environment of Jews in Northeast China has become worse and worse, and the most important point is the competition with Chinese businessmen, although the official does not exclude Jews, but it is obvious that they will not favor Jews in various policies, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has come forward, and it is almost impossible for Jews to receive projects from the Chinese government.

There are also industrial restrictions, in the past, Jews dominated the timber industry in Northeast China, as a result, Yang Chao prompted the three provincial governments in Northeast China to ban deforestation, and the development of Northeast forests for ten years was prohibited, so that many Jewish timber merchants were struggling, just by getting involved in other industrial fields, such as the transformation of flour milling, oil extraction, but before they recovered, the Jews of Siberia were driven over.

In fact, a very important reason why Grand Duke Nicholas excluded Jews was also because the local Russian commercial power in Siberia had developed, and there was no need for Jews, and the Jews were just an excuse for the Jews to harm the Tsar, just like the Chinese merchants in the Northeast who attacked the Jews, it was a conflict of interests.

However, the problem of refugees was not a purely economic problem, but a political one, so the Jews reacted positively to Yang Chao's invitation, and at the same time liked to take the opportunity to improve their business environment in the Northeast.

"Welcome to Shandong, first of all, I personally sympathize with the plight of the Jews of Siberia."

Yang Chao first expressed goodwill.

In recent years, Yang Chao's reputation among the Jews has been mixed, and the cooperation with the Rothschild family has made some Jews in the West regard Yang Chao as a friend, willing to help Jews immigrate to Samoa, and have also won the respect of Siberian Jews.

In order to dispel the paranoia in the hearts of these people, it is necessary for Yang Chao to continue to express goodwill: "I am personally willing to make suggestions to the Russian Imperial Government, but I cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Russian Empire. The Jewish problem is, in the final analysis, the problem of the Jews themselves, so in the end it is up to you to stand up and protect yourselves. ”

Finally tell the Jews that you are on your own. (To be continued.) )
