As the cruise ship sailed up the Pearl River estuary, the partners found something unusual about the New Year's Day as they approached the port of Guangzhou—it was so lively. If the rest of the country is sleeping, it is just awakened and full of life. The Guangzhou port expansion project is under construction, and you can see a faint figure on the hill not far away, but I don't know what it does.

After getting off the ship, everyone was reluctant to leave, the scene here was so wonderful that Zhang Taiyan didn't feel this kind of vitality even in Japan. Mountains of building materials, densely packed and orderly construction workers, long lines of trucks coming and going along the gray road. While others were attracted by the spectacle, Zhou Shuren focused his attention on the construction workers at work, dressed in bizarre costumes - a combination of T and jeans, walking with a straight waist, showing off their muscles when they worked, and without numbness and humility on their faces, he felt the joy and passion emanating from these people.

According to the guidance of the port staff, they got on a bus bound for the city, such a novelty, not to mention Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, which are currently the most developed cities, even the well-informed Zhang Taiyan has not come into contact with them. The bus built using truck chassis modification can take 22 people, and is the latest product of Huizhou Automobile Factory, which has been put into use in Guangzhou, Huizhou and other cities. Public transport companies and long-distance bus companies were established to open long-distance transportation services from Guangzhou to Huizhou, Meizhou, Heyuan, Foshan and other places, all of which are currently building Yanggray roads.

Along the way, this group of young people has not yet come out of the novelty of the car, the factories and buildings on both sides have diverted their attention, they whispered the names of the factories, most of them are unheard of: Guangzhou Bicycle Factory, Ziqiang Flour Factory No. 2, Guangzhou Match Factory and so on one after another, when entering the city, everyone suddenly found that there are more than 100 factories along the way, and this is just on both sides of the road! The conductor saw the surprise of many newcomers to Guangzhou and took the initiative to act as a commentator.

After entering the city, everyone walked forward, there was no clear destination, it is better to take a walk and see, and then find a hotel to stay. The buildings in the city were no different from the rest of the city, and the Provisional Government had not yet taken care of the urban renewal project, but the slogans, bright red flags and revolutionary marches were still dizzying. Despite their fatigue, the crowd joined a march that preached the equality of all human beings and their natural human rights, shouting: "All men are equal, natural human rights, against oppression!" After a while, they ran into another marcher, and they preached the development of industry, rent reduction and interest reduction, and strengthening the country and the people!

"It's really exciting, here you can shout out your political ideas without any scruples, don't be afraid of the persecution of the imperial court, I can smell a strong revolutionary atmosphere, this is the world we yearn for!" The crowd followed several processions, and finally they were exhausted and found a restaurant to eat and rest for a while. Bai Zhai excitedly expressed his opinion after taking a sip of water, he was already intoxicated by this energetic atmosphere.

Zhou Zuoren said: "I think the Zhenguo Party is a great political party, you see that it has only been a few months since the Guangzhou Uprising, the order is orderly, the market is prosperous, there are not so many ruffians and hooligans roaming, and almost everyone is busy with their own work. I heard that the organizers of the marches were people from their respective industries, and the participants also had jobs, rather than the Zhenguo Party itself, which is very telling. It shows that they accepted the political propositions of the Zhenguo Party, and then awakened their consciousness of demanding rights and took the initiative to protect their rights. ”

"What I value more is that people are no longer insensitive, but strive for a better life. I don't know how the Zhenguo Party did this, through the article? Zhou Shuren expressed his doubts.

Zhang Taiyan likes to watch these young people debate, and through conversation, they express their doubts and express their opinions, and that kind of passion is what he admires the most. He had a different view of what he saw today, and what he noticed was the soldiers, the soldiers patrolling the streets and factories. They don't look like revolutionary troops, but like battle-hardened killing machines, exuding a thick murderous aura from their bodies, as if they will take off the rifle behind their backs and shoot at themselves in the next moment. How are such soldiers trained? No wonder the armed uprising will succeed easily, even if they are against the most elite Beiyang Army and the foreign army, they may not be left behind.

There are many more details that these young people have not yet noticed, such as those garbage cans, public toilets on the streets, traffic lines, traffic police, sanitation, etc., these are all signs of a country's civilization, and the Provisional Government has this ability to manage a big city, which is really full of talents.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we were not like this in Guangzhou before, since the Governor's Mansion has moved into Premier Luliang and Lu, this day is the same, it is convenient to travel, there is more work, and it is easier to make money. Nowadays in Guangdong, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely not be hungry, if you are willing to learn culture, you can also learn to drive, enter the factory to learn technology, then earn more money. If you are smart enough to do business, it will be good anyway! We don't understand what you are talking about about the country and the nation, but if Premier Lu's revolutionary government can make us live a good life, we are willing to follow him. A trotting hall that came to pour tea saw that everyone was talking lively, and couldn't help but show off his eloquence, so that these cultural people could also see that our Guangzhou trotting hall could also say a big truth.

"This little brother, the revolutionary party occupies Guangdong, aren't you afraid that Guangzhou will fall into war and lose your wealth when the imperial court invades?" Zhang Taiyan asked with a smile.

When he asked Xiao Thaotang, he was even more energetic: "Guest officer, you are joking, what kind of character is Prime Minister Lu!" He was the richest man in Guangdong, and he had 5,000 iron-blooded generals under his command before the incident, and later took out 2,000 people to fight the Qing army in Heyuan. Now there are 100,000 people's soldiers, and guns and artillery are enough! A cousin of mine was a squad leader in the army, and he wrote to me and said that he was very powerful anyway! Trotting Hall suddenly stopped talking, he wouldn't say too much and divulge secrets, thinking of this, he quickly laughed and turned back to the backyard.

In the evening, they stayed in a hotel, and after dinner, they could not calm their excitement and gathered together to continue talking. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Bai Zhai smiled and was about to get up to open the door, Zhang Taiyan grabbed him, waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and motioned for himself to go over and open the door. After several years of revolutionary struggle, he was always on the lookout, and although this was the stronghold of the revolutionary party, darkness was everywhere, and no one could say what danger would happen.

"Who?"

"Guangdong Provisional Government Commercial Investigation Bureau, if you have something to ask, please open the door!" Zhang Taiyan looked back at everyone, confused, he couldn't figure out what kind of agency this name was, and what the Commercial Investigation Bureau had to do with himself and others. But when people came to the door, these people were unarmed and could only open the door.

"Excuse me, everyone. I am Lu Ke, an investigator of the Investigation Bureau, and this is my ID, please come with us, if someone wants to meet you, I am sure that you will also meet our superior, Lu Liang, the prime minister of the provisional government. These words made everyone even more confused, Lu Liang, how could he know about us, what is the matter with us? Zhang Taiyan has seen the wind and rain, and knows that he can only listen to these people, and besides, he is also very interested in Lu Liang, he can't tell the authenticity of the documents, but he is willing to take a risk.

"I'll go too!" Zhou Shuren stood up and said, these investigators are mysterious, but the sincerity and iron-blooded temperament on their faces, as well as the protrusion on their waists, show that they are definitely not Manchu secret agents, it is just night, there are still soldiers and policemen patrolling the streets, and it is impossible for Manchu secret agents to blatantly carry guns and swagger in the core area of the revolutionary party.

With Zhang Taiyan and Zhou Shuren taking the lead, of course, everyone was not far behind, and followed the three black-clothed investigators out of the hotel, and there were two cars on the road, one of which was that kind of bus, but it was painted black. The other one really can't be named, and strangely, an investigator took the initiative to introduce that it was a jeep. Well, it's another experience.
