Feng Xuefeng took the path and got on a small boat in the middle of the night, and the boat sailed out of the river fork and into the Huangpu River. The www.biquge.info walked north for an hour and a half, crossed the Bund, and arrived at the opposite side of the Japanese Concession, where large and small ships were docked on the opposite pier, among which was a warship, of course, a Japanese warship.

When we arrived at Baoshan, it was already midnight. At this time, there is a bright moon on the river. The river breeze blows on the body, which is very refreshing.

Xiao Lu and the two had a good discussion, and they promised to send themselves to Jiangyin.

The next morning, the boat arrived in Jiangyin. Xiaolu gave them some additional money and asked them to pull themselves to Jiangyin. Soon after arriving in Jiangyin, I took a passenger ferry to Nanjing. The two took the money, helped Xiaolu buy tickets, and helped him move things, which was very thoughtful.

The cabins of the class ship are divided into many classes, the fifth class is in the bottom bilge of the ship, there are also chairs and seats to sit on, and the passengers are all rural farmers, some carry vegetables, some carry rice, some pull pigs, and some sell fish. The strangest thing is that I also saw a snake seller on the path.

The fourth class was not a small room, and everyone had bunks to sleep in, and there were mats and blankets on the bunks, but they were all dirty. Not crowded, not much privacy.

The third-class cabin is a small room, with four bunks in the room, two up and two down, and the bedding is fairly clean. Second class or one person, or two people. First class is a suite.

Xiaolu bought a third-class cabin, and when he arrived at the cabin, he saw that there were already three people inside, and there were things under the beds and in the aisle, probably for trading.

At this time, the crew of the ship came. Xiaolu called the porter to stop, took a large ocean, blew it, put it to his ear and listened, and said to the crew of the ship: "Can I get a second-class cabin?" ”

The flight attendant saw Dayang and said, "This, I can show you." ”

Xiaolu took another ocean, and the flight attendant saw it and said, "I remember, there happens to be a vacant room, you can ask now, but you have to make up a ticket." ”

The whistle sounded, and the ship sailed. The passenger ship burns coal, whistles, and the path can be seen from the window, and the chimney of the ship emits large black smoke.

In the evening, the Xiaolu passenger boat arrived at the Nanjing wharf.

July 1.

Xiaolu stayed at the hotel for the night, and then started renting a house. It took half a day to rent a big house. The owner of the house was not there, and the housekeeper was in charge of two empty houses, and wanted to collect a few rents, so he promised to rent him half a month, ten oceans. Originally, eight pieces of ocean were collected, but because there were many people, two more pieces were collected.

Xiaolu telegraphed to Northeastern University in Beiping to inquire. The school apparently got the advice of the classmate's question, and immediately called back, and it didn't take long for the urgent telegram to arrive. The students have already set off and arrived in Nanjing on July 3rd.

The rent is expensive because the house is good and there are many rooms. Although it is an old-fashioned house, it is the second floor, so it is good to live in.

Nanjing is now very prosperous, although not as good as Shanghai, but it is a political center, many institutions are here, some dignitaries have also settled down, and the people have also enjoyed prosperity. Recently, many plane trees have been planted and are already shady.

Nanjing had close ties with the Nationalist Government. On January 1, 1912, the provisional government of the Republic of China was established in Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president, and Jiangning Mansion was changed to Nanjing Prefecture, and Yuan Shikai moved the capital of the Republic of China to Beijing soon after.

On March 24, 1927, the Kuomintang Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Nanjing. After the April 12 Incident in the same year, Lao Jiang and others established the Nationalist Government in Nanjing on April 18, designated Nanjing as the capital, and placed Nanjing Special City in the same year.

On June 1, 1929, Sun Yat-sen was buried in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and placed in the capital special city. In 1930, it was changed to a municipality. The Statute of the Republic of China promulgated on June 1, 1931 stipulates that "the capital of the Republic of China shall be located in Nanjing".

The decade from 1927 to 1937 is known as the "Nanjing Decade", also known as the golden decade of China's economy, during which Nanjing carried out large-scale capital construction and laid a good foundation for Nanjing's modern urban development.

By 1937, Nanjing's urban population had increased to more than 1 million, making it one of the six largest cities in China at the time.

After renting a house on the road, I walked on the street, and unconsciously arrived at the downtown area of Xinjiekou in Nanjing, and saw a big shopping mall from a distance, with people coming and going, very lively. Sure enough, it was one of the largest shopping malls of this era, and there was a large advertisement next to the gate, which read: "Daily necessities, all available." Restaurants and teahouses, everything, set the culmination of domestic production, and collect thousands of goods in one place. ”

walked in, and sure enough, there were nearly 200 shops inside, Tongrentang Pharmacy, and Zhang Xiaoquan scissors, all of which could be seen. Nanjing Central Mall, opened on January 12, 1936.

Two years ago, Zhang Jingjiang, Zeng Yangfu, Li Shizeng, Mao Yisheng and 32 other celebrities advocated the construction of the country's largest domestic goods boutique shopping mall, requiring that the goods they handle must be domestic products in order to counter the continuous influx of foreign smuggled goods, especially Japanese smuggled goods, and the owners must be Chinese.

In addition to the central shopping mall, if you walk a little bit at Xinjiekou, you can see shops everywhere that receive Japanese goods. Japanese goods are all packaged in Japanese, Rendan, cloth, rayon, hot water bottles, all on sale, good color, low price.

Xiao Lu felt hungry, and saw that Da Sanyuan was in front, so he went upstairs and ordered a salted duck and two side dishes.

While waiting for dinner, a newsboy came up to sell the newspaper, and Xiaolu bought a copy of the "National Salvation Times" and a copy of the "Central Daily." When I opened it, an article entitled "The Dangers of Smuggling Japanese Goods" wrote: "There are countless smugglers who have been smuggled into China by Japanese businessmen over the years, and the Japanese Shanghai Daily News said that in the past year, the total number of Japanese smugglers was more than 30,000 yuan. The Japanese government also refuses to pay tariffs when it imports goods into China, so China's loss of tariffs should be more than 80 million."

Another article, titled "More than 3,000 Chinese stores in Tianjin closed in two months," wrote: "In recent days, Japanese goods have flooded North China, and Chinese enterprises have been unable to compete and have gone bankrupt. In the past two months, more than 3,000 Huadian stores in Tianjin have closed down. Japanese shops are lined up all over the area around Pingjin. ”

Xiaolu watched a few news and was not in a good mood. At this time, the saltwater duck came up.

As soon as the meal was served, two people chatting at a table next to him attracted Xiao Lu.

These two people are obviously very concerned about current affairs, and one said: "I think that this decade is indeed a golden decade." You see, we have 100,000 kilometers of roads, and there has been a huge increase in railways. In terms of industry, the machine-made flour industry, the textile industry, and the match industry are very prosperous. ”

The second said: "I admit that roads and railways, but industry is not good, and most of the three industries you mentioned are private or have Japanese backgrounds." Chinese factories are open today and closed tomorrow. ”

The first said: "The steel industry is very prosperous, with 400,000 tons of steel and 800,000 tons of pig iron. ”

The second said, "Don't mention steel." A few years ago, we only had 80,000 tons, and in the past two years, hundreds of thousands of tons have popped up all at once, where did it come from? The Northeast is all controlled by the Japanese, can we get a ton? Can't get it. All of them were shipped to Japan to make weapons. Take Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant as an example. The annual steel output of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant reached 50,000 tons during the Beiyang period, and steelmaking was stopped in 1925. Until now, Han Yeping does not produce steel himself, but he transports the dug iron sand and most of the pig iron smelted to the Yasan Iron and Steel Plant in Japan to make steel, make weapons, and slaughter the Chinese people. ”

The first said: "No matter what, we still have a lot to achieve in the past ten years. ”

The second said: "Achievement? Germany built the Bonn-Cologne highway four years ago, which is the first highway in the world. This kind of road, which is 25 meters wide and does not have a single fork, can reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour. Army transport, up to 70,000 people per hour per lane, a million troops, morning and evening. That's what makes an achievement. ”
