"Lord Liang, I'm a reporter for The Times, what is the amount of money involved in this railway case? Can be revealed"

"Lord Liang, I'm a journalist from Russia, will these policies continue after the riots in Tianjin? What do you think of the new Governor-General"

"Ryō-sama! Ryū-sama! ”

“”

As soon as Ye Kai came out of the gate of the Advisory Bureau, he was swarmed by the waiting reporters, and the surrounding water was impassable, and the accompanying guards and soldiers worked hard to barely squeeze out a circle that outsiders could not rely on, Ye Kai took a look, these reporters were a group of gringos with eagle eyebrows, and only they dared to chase the dignified governor around.

"Lord Liang, will the Minister of Railways Lu Haihuan really be deposed? He used to be a German minister, and his departure will not matter the two countries?"

"Yes, Lord Liang, this is also the question we want to ask, he is also the Minister of the Netherlands, how much responsibility does he have in this case?"

“”

These foreign reporters spoke Chinese with different accents, chattering like a wall, and the focus of their questions fell on Lu Haihuan, the minister of the Jinpu Railway Governor, who had served as a minister to many countries and had also held important posts such as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, in the face of an enlightened governor who had just been questioned, they were much bolder, and the impression that Ye Kai left on them was something they had never seen since they came to China.

"Journalists, don't worry, you can take your time."

couldn't walk, Ye Kai had no choice but to stop, pressed his hand, and said kindly to the person in front of him.

"I will answer the first question first, this case involves a loan contract between Britain and Germany, we attach great importance to it, the specific amount is still under detailed investigation, I believe that there will be a result soon, and we will announce it as soon as possible."

"The second question, the riots were caused by the wrong actions of the previous governor, and they have nothing to do with the citizens of Aijin, and the subsequent chaos is powerful and correct, oh, you just said that these policies will continue, well, I want to say, as long as it is a good policy, of course it will continue, and the government will serve the people, as for the successor, Lord Duanfangduan, sorry, I am not familiar with the new governor, but I hope that he can maintain the current good situation, in short, Tianjin can not be chaotic, let alone change, it should be prosperous, And has been thriving. Ye Kai took two steps and stopped, and then finished answering the Times' question.

Everyone didn't have time to look at Ye Kai's expression, they lowered their heads and quickly copied it in the notebook, this is first-hand information, and it is rare for the governor himself to answer the question in person.

"The third question"

Ye Kai answered everyone's questions one by one, but more and more questions were asked, and the onlookers also followed, and the scene was once again impassable, it seems that this good person still can't be casual.

"What you said about the issue of the Minister of Railways going or staying, because of the law, I personally can't decide, but I will truthfully report to the imperial court, please wait for Beijing's response with peace of mind."

After Ye Kai finished answering this question, he stretched out his hand to stop the others from speaking, and then spoke solemnly.

"Fellow journalists, I can understand your feelings, but let's put an end to today's questions, and a press conference will be held in the afternoon to explain the riots in Tianjin, and you can ask all kinds of questions at that time."

"Press conference?"

Hearing this new term, everyone present was surprised, after the governor was questioned, they suddenly got a new surprise, Ye Kai didn't know if there was a press conference in the world at this time, but since it was the advanced experience of later generations, of course he copied and copied it directly, and besides, these questions let him answer them one by one, it was too tiring, and it was necessary to find a press spokesman to state on his behalf.

"Journalist friends, what happened today, I hope you can report it truthfully, not only to my Chinese people, but also to your own people to know the story that happened in China, we are not the yellow-skinned and long pigtailed Chinaman you say, but the bearer of another civilization that is ancient, profound and full of wisdom, since we are ready to accept the world, then the world should also polish its eyes and look at us again."

"Timeliness is important, but truth is the soul of a reporter!"

Ye Kai's hope made everyone present deeply agree, the changes in China in the past ten years are obvious to all, but for various reasons, these news have not been truthfully transmitted.

At that time, because of the promulgation of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the Americas, the situation of the Chinese was extremely miserable, and at the same time, the "Yellow Peril" theory was also prevalent in Europe, which openly violated human rights and brutally expelled Asians.

At the turn of the century, the first impression of the Chinese to the world, except for the fire-breathing dragon in the satirical cartoon, was a miser dragging a long whip and chattering, and the image was comparable to that of the inferior race of Europe, the Jews.

If a country is unable to protect the minimum dignity of its people, it is an evil government, Ye Kai has never thought about what to do for a certain feudal empire to justify the vain, let alone the slightest intention of wanting to whitewash which clan and which dynasty, but the collision of different cultures always gives the parties a little buffer opportunity to familiarize themselves with and learn the rules of the game in a new world, but the people are too anxious to give this opportunity.

The feudal rulers died at the last moment of the feudal era, but those who remained did not even touch the edge of the new kingdom.

Ye Kai walked through the crowd, sat in the official sedan chair, and then left.

For the reporters, today's harvest can be called a full load, there are simply too many materials to choose from, in short, this governor is different from all the Qing Dynasty officials he has come into contact with before, modesty, self-cultivation, wisdom, and courage, is the first impression that Ye Kai left on the foreign media, and he is keen on new things, this alone is worthy of special mention.

Ye Kai did not attend the press conference in the afternoon, there were local officials in Tianjin, the effect was enough, and there was no need for him to be present in person, as the highest military, political and civil head of a province, he must have a little necessary majesty, otherwise, there will really be some delays and constraints in getting things done.

The press conference lasted until the evening, and Chinese and foreign reporters gathered together, and several rather sharp questions made the officials look at each other, so they had to go on with their heads.

In the evening, Ye Kai was not idle after returning to the post house, he wanted to report this matter to Zaifeng after a little polishing, especially the death of Natong and the impeachment of the Minister of Railways by the parliamentarians.

There is one more thing, Ye Kai can't forget that the new governor Duanfang will arrive in Tianjin the day after tomorrow, which means that his short governor career is coming to an end, and he needs to seize these few days and play the last move.
