Chapter 478: "Saving" Japan

"Oh, yes, Ming'er still has to teach Wei'er, why did you forget about this, hurry up, go to sleep." Thinking of the little disciple who will be seen tomorrow, Guo Yunxian's heart is also warm.

Guo Yunxian and Liang fell asleep again, and the couple would not have thought about what kind of thing would happen to the child they were going to see tomorrow.

The next day, Eton College, Principal's Office.

"Chen, can you tell me how many times you've fought with your classmates...... Oh no, I think it's worse than a fight, because somebody got hurt. ”

Henry, the principal of Eton College? Durr looked at Chen Wei who was standing in front of him, and helped his gold-rimmed nose-clamping glasses, his face full of helplessness.

"Sixth, sir." Chen Wei straightened up and looked directly at the principal in front of him, with no fear on his face.

"So this time, the reason is the same as last time...... These people don't behave like gentlemen, do they? The headmaster frowned as he looked at the six bruised-faced and tattered students sitting next to him.

At this time, they were staring at Chen Wei viciously, because they were all injured to varying degrees, two of them also wrapped their heads in bandages, and Chen Wei and his friend Eustace only had a few tears on their school uniforms and some slight scratches on their hands and faces.

"Yes, Mr. Headmaster. In the fencing competition we organized, all the students in the school placed bets and decided the winners and losers according to the outcome of the competition, but there were always some people who did not want to be gentlemen, but wanted to be scoundrels. Chen Wei said, glaring at the six students fiercely, and the six people were all startled.

"What about you? Eustace, you also approve of your friend's actions. Is it? Principal Henry asked, turning to Eustace, who was slightly shorter than Chen Wei.

"Two gentlemen against six scoundrels. I think it's a very heroic act. Eustace stood in front of Headmaster Henry. The waist board is also as straight as Chen Wei.

"You guys really give me a headache...... Principal Henry shook his head helplessly, looking at the two of them, "I really want to fire you ......"

"I beg the school to expel them, principal." Of the six students who were beaten, one named Bird stood up, "They are a disgrace to our school......"

"Bird, don't think I won't dare beat you up here." Chen Wei said coldly.

Bird's face contorted with hatred, and he was about to get up and scold. But he was frightened back by his mother's loud shout.

"Bird! You shut up! ”

Headmaster Henry's gaze swept over Bird and his five wounded accomplices, and the six immediately lowered their heads.

"You didn't follow the school rules and fought with your classmates, I should have expelled you, but because of your family's contribution to the school, if you don't adopt such a severe punishment this time, you will bear your own medical expenses!" Headmaster Henry looked at the six of Bird and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Headmaster, what are we going to do with the money they owe us?" Eustace heard the headmaster's words say that there was no mention of Bird and the others' debts. Said immediately.

"Mr. Bird, there is a proverb in my home country that says, 'Gamble to lose'. You don't want to pay the bills, and you want to do it to me and Eustace with a crowd of six, you really deserve to be the 'glory' of Eton College!" Chen Wei said contemptuously.

The principal quietly glanced at Chen Wei's mother, Sara, who had not spoken, and Sara just smiled slightly and did not speak.

"One of the purposes of Eton College is to produce the best gentlemen in England and in the world, and Bird, you are acting contrary to the actions of a gentleman, so you must pay the bets you owe." Headmaster Henry glanced at the six Bird again, and his eyes fell on Bird's mother.

Bird tried to plead, but under his mother's stern gaze, he retracted the refusal back into his stomach.

"I assure you, Sir Sir, that they will pay all our bets in full to our little gentlemen, James and Eustace." Bird's mother smiled and said to Principal Henry, then turned to Sara and said, "James's swordsmanship is the best in the school, and it's so overwhelming that my son wants to challenge him." I hereby apologize to you for his reckless behavior. ”

"You've won the prize, James is too fond of swordsmanship, he spends too much time on it, I hope your son is not as obsessed with swordsmanship as he is." Sara replied with the same kind smile.

After the matter was satisfactorily resolved, Sara took Chen Wei out of the principal's office and got into the carriage, Chen Wei saw that his mother had not spoken, just looked out the window, thinking that she was angry, and couldn't help but look a little cramped and uneasy.

"Are you angry? Mom? Chen Wei saw that his mother hadn't looked at him, so he couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice.

Only in front of his mother would he be truly afraid.

"I'm wondering, James, when Lin was a child, would he be like you are now." Sara turned her head, looked at Chen Wei, and said calmly.

"My brother-in-law doesn't know swordsmanship, I only know that his marksmanship is very good, I don't think he will be the same as me when he was a child." Seeing his mother mention Lin Yizhe, Chen Wei's eyes flashed with reverence.

"Lin doesn't know swordsmanship, but he changed the world." Sara looked at Chen Weijing's bright eyes, and a look of love flashed in her eyes, "He changed the world with wisdom, not swordsmanship and marksmanship. ”

"Mom, this time Bird is so hateful, I can't help but teach him a lesson, please rest assured, I won't make trouble for you in the future." Chen Wei said.

"I'll give you an English proverb!" Four-legged horses also wrestle, and neither strength nor victory lasts forever. Sara looked at her son, caressing his hair, her eyes full of tenderness, "I hope you think about the meaning of this proverb and take it to heart." ”

Chen Wei nodded vigorously, and the mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

"Mom, I heard that Mr. Lin Yiqing is the twin brother of my brother-in-law, is this true?" Chen Wei took out a crumpled newspaper from his pocket and held it to his mother.

Sara glanced at the newspaper, which reported on Lin Yiqing's deeds in the battle against the Russian-Japanese coalition forces on the island of Kyushu.

"Why do you ask this?" Sara didn't answer him, but asked rhetorically.

"I think Lin Yiqing is really the younger brother of his brother-in-law. Why is he so brave than his brother-in-law? Chen Weiyi mentioned Lin Yiqing. A pair of eyes suddenly radiated a strange brilliance.

"Don't be cranky. Grandpa Guo will give you a lesson in a while, go back and freshen up well, don't let him think you are a wild boy. Sara looked at Chen Wei, who was dressed in plaster, and said with a slight annoyance, "Remember to move quickly, you can say that you are late now." ”

Chen Wei stuck out his tongue playfully and nodded.

Sure enough, as Sara said, when Chen Wei returned home. After finishing washing as quickly as possible, when he came to the door of the study, he found that Guo Yunxian was already waiting there.

Chen Wei heard that Guo Yunxian was talking to his companions Zhen'er and Zhu'er, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he was curious for a while, so he crouched outside the door, and while peeking inside, he eavesdropped on the conversation between Lao Guo and the two girls.

"Zhen'er, do you remember your biological parents?" Guo Yunxian looked at the beautiful and lovely girl in front of her, and once again confirmed her identity.

In order to facilitate the search for people by yourself. Ding Yusheng sends the portrait of his other twin niece, Ding Luwen, to Guo Yunxian every year, and the girl in front of her. It is almost exactly the same as the portrait sent by Ding Yusheng this year.

This girl named Zhen'er is the kind of girl who has a handful of long, straight black hair, a pair of big watery eyes, and a smile when she is happy. Her hair is black and shiny, but like a Boren girl, only short to her shoulders, she has a pair of big eyes, like the sea reflected by the moonlight, bright and deep, although only a young age, but it gives people a feeling of all-inclusiveness.

"I don't remember." Zhen'er looked at the kind old man with gray hair in front of her, and shook her head a little confused.

She didn't understand why Guo Yunxian asked her about her childhood, the memory at that time was already vague to her, but there was a scene she would not forget, that is, Chen Wei took her hand and ran lifelessly on the street......

"What if one day, you know who your biological parents are, would you still like to go back?" Guo Yunxian then asked.

"The master, the lady and the young master are very good to me, this is Zhen'er's home, Zhen'er is not going anywhere." Jen replied.

"Zhen'er's words are a little inappropriate." Another companion maid Zhu'er said on the side, "The grace of parents' birth and reinvention is comparable to heaven and earth, the so-called 'hundred virtues and filial piety first', if you know the location of your biological parents, how can you not find it?" ”

Hearing Zhu'er say such a thing at a young age, Guo Yunxian couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Zhu'er.

At this time, Zhu'er's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, sweeping out shallow worries on her delicate face, which made her originally surprisingly beautiful appearance even more loving.

"Zhu'er, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Zhen'er shook her head and said, "If you know where your biological parents are, and your parents are willing to see Zhen'er, Zhen'er should reunite with her parents to fulfill her filial piety, Zhen'er just wants to say that the master, Mrs. and young master are as kind to Zhen'er as a mountain, and Zhen'er will never abandon the master, Mrs. and young master because of her biological parents." ”

"That's pretty much it." Pearls smiled and nodded.

After listening to Zhen'er's answer, Guo Yunxian showed a look of approval.

He now somewhat understands why Chen Tingxuan wants to find such two girls for his grandson to read with.

Judging from the conversation with Zhen'er just now, he was further able to determine that Zhen'er was Ding Yusheng's niece Ding Luhua, and he had planned to find an opportunity to explain the matter to Chen Tingxuan today, but the telegram from Ding Yusheng he received this morning made him stop there.

Ding Yusheng asked him in the telegram to postpone explaining the matter to Chen Tingxuan, and only "ask the Chen family to take care of it", because if he let his niece return to his home now, it will definitely cause big trouble.

The root cause of the trouble is Ding Luhua's sister Ding Luwen.

Originally, Ding Luwen was arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and she was self-respecting, because she was separated from her sister since she was a child, she no longer remembered what happened when she was a child, after hearing that there was a twin sister who was going home, she cried and made a fuss, resolutely refused to recognize the existence of this sister, and claimed that "there is no self with her", as long as her sister comes home, she will commit suicide, Ding Leisheng and his wife did not care at first, but once Ding Luwen cut her wrist with a book knife in front of her parents, Ding Leisheng and his wife realized that the problem was serious, and talked with their daughter many times, but her daughter had a tough attitude and insisted on it, As long as my sister comes back. She sought her death. After much consideration. Ding Leisheng and his wife were helpless, so they had to tell their brother Ding Yusheng the truth, and it was Ding Yusheng who sent such a telegram, apologetically explaining the reason to Guo Yunxian. In this way, it is difficult for Guo Yunxian to mention this matter to Chen Tingxuan again, especially now that he has tested Ding Luhua, he knows that she is not willing to leave the Chen family.

"Sir, disciple Chen Wei is late. Please also ask the gentleman to punish him. Chen Wei's voice sounded at the door, interrupting Guo Yunxian's thoughts.

"Wei'er, what are you...... Where did the wound on the face come from? Guo Yunxian was full of joy when he saw Chen Wei, but when he saw the small scratch on Chen Wei's face, he couldn't help but be startled.

Chen Wei secretly screamed in his heart, just now when he was washing, he was going to come to the ointment to smear the wound, but he didn't expect it to be shown to Guo Yunxian.

"Sir, you have been teaching us these days to understand 'righteousness' and 'unrighteousness', then. If you see unrighteousness, you don't stop it. Is it against the general righteousness? Chen Wei had an idea and brought out what he had learned in the past few days to deal with this loyal elder.

"Yes! No matter how big or small the unrighteous thing is, you must stop it when you see it," Guo Yunxian nodded and said, "If you don't stop it, the small evil will become a big evil, and the harm will be even greater." ”

"What Mr. taught is that the student is doing this today," Chen Wei saw Guo Yunxian enter the court, and immediately told Guo Yunxian what happened today, "Sir, did the student do something wrong?" ”

Guo Yunxian pondered for a while and replied, "You did something wrong, but you were right. ”

"Why does the gentleman say that?" Chen Wei asked puzzled.

"That's right, but the way you used it was wrong." Guo Yunxian said, "With two against six, it seems to be heroic, even if your swordsmanship is better than that of your classmates, you can fight four with one, but you put your companions in danger, once your companions are lost, you yourself are also in danger." Therefore, when encountering an opponent with many people and a large number of opponents, it is necessary not only to fight with strength, but also to fight with wisdom. ”

"Mr. said it so well, Mr. Lin Yiqing has always done this! That's why he has won so many victories and made people all over the world look at him. Chen Wei said happily.

Guo Yunxian didn't expect Chen Wei to coldly lead the topic to Lin Yiqing, he remembered that Lin Yiqing was still in Japan at this time, and he couldn't help but worry about him again.

"Wei'er also wants to become a man like Lin Yiqing, so let's learn more skills!" Guo Yunxian encouraged Chen Weidao, "Wei'er will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!" ”

At this time, Guo Yunxian would not know that his prophecy would become an out-and-out reality in the future.

Just as Guo Yunxian was earnestly teaching Chen Wei, Sara quietly left the manor and took a carriage to Rothchild Bank.

Lionel? Nathan? Viscount Rothchild sat in his office, listening to a report from his subordinate Sharif.

"Yesterday, the accountants we sent were stationed in the Ministry of Finance (Ministry of Finance) and the Japan Gold and Silver Reserve Bank (Zhengjin Bank) to fully supervise the operation of the funds we invested, and all circulation links are under our supervision."

"Can I understand that the financial control of the Japanese government is firmly in our hands? Are all the funds we have invested in Japan being used effectively? After listening to Sharif's words, Nathan quietly asked again.

"You can fully understand that in fact, the Ministry of Finance and the Gold and Silver Reserve Bank can already be seen as branches of Rothchild Bank." Sharif replied.

"I've heard that the banknotes issued by the Japanese government have been depreciating to 45% of the value of silver coins, and the Japanese economy has fallen into chaos, and Japanese gold and silver coins have disappeared from all corners of the world as if overnight." Nathan asked, "In such a situation, what good is it for us to control Japan's finances?" ”

"Your Excellency, these gold and silver coins have been stored by the Japanese as part of our plan to create a currency crisis so that the Japanese government will have to look to us for a solution so that we can control the Japanese currency. You know, if you control Japan's currency, you control the country. Our goal is to make Shojin Bank the central bank of Japan for Rothchild Bank. Sharif replied.

"How much gold and silver reserves does the Japanese Ministry of Finance have now?" Nathan then asked.

"Very little, only 8.7 million, but with our help, through the foreign trade of raw silk and tea, it has begun to increase, and these two trades have been at a loss on the Japanese side before, but we have helped Japanese merchants in the form of bills of exchange through the operation of the Zhengjin Bank, and the settlement is paid by foreign merchants in gold and silver coins, and it is expected to reach 12 million by the end of the year." Sharif replied.

"The Japanese government has always been very wary of foreign capital, and there are many nationalists in the country, so once our plans are known to the outside world, will they be interfered with and sabotaged?" Nathan asked again.

"The Japanese have no other choice." Sarah's voice rang out at the door, "His Excellency Shigenobu Okuma, Minister of Finance, and His Excellency Masayoshi Matsukata, Deputy Minister of Finance, fully agree with this plan and are willing to take responsibility for it, and they now only want to restore Japan's economy that is on the verge of collapse as soon as possible, even if they know that they will eat poison." ”

"And if we save Japan's economy, the Japanese will only rely on us more, and they will not have the idea of rebelling against us." Sharif replied.

"Frankfurt, have you made any moves on Japan?" Nathan nodded in satisfaction and asked Sarah.

"They're going to stay out of it and see our jokes." Sara smiled and said, "Uncle Meyer doesn't believe we can save Japan's economy. ”
