Nanjing Road Drunken Immortal Building.

"After the fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War eight years ago, the Gengzi disaster two years ago, and the two catastrophes in succession, the people of our country have decided to reflect on what caused such a great shame and humiliation, and the sense of crisis of partition and destruction of the country will surely follow. If you don't study Western studies and don't learn new things, you will inevitably be known by the people."

After a few glasses of wine, Chen Moran, who was already a little drunk, smiled slightly. Today is a good day, the position of director of the Commercial Press has been obtained, and at today's celebration banquet, he glanced at Xu Xuanqiu of the United States and Foreign Stores next to Shen Zhifang, behind whom the United States and Foreign Banks have always been the paper suppliers of the Commercial Press.

Xia Ruifang's flexible mind can be seen that in the morning, almost when the ink of the contract was not dry, he took the opportunity to inform the United States and foreign companies, and the Commercial Liqun Printing House today said that it would cooperate with others to expand its shares by 400,000 yuan, and the Commercial Liqun Printing House was renamed the Commercial Press.

On the surface, it is to inform the name of the Meihe Foreign Bookstore to fall, but in fact, it is for the gift money, no, near noon, this Xu Shuqiu brought a congratulatory gift to the library, and even more in this drunken immortal building to set a banquet to celebrate, which is why there is now a wild talk during the banquet.

"As a result, the Chinese people will spontaneously raise a wave of Western learning!"

Xia Ruifang, Zhang Yuanji and Shen Zhifang nodded at the same time when they heard this, while Xu Shuqiu only smiled with a little praise, he knew that the purpose of his trip was nothing more than to determine the future cooperation with the library, after all, business has always been the largest guest room in Meihe, and now after the expansion of business, it is bound to add machines, and the demand for paper will be several times higher than in the past, which is the reason why the manager is so generous and takes out a thousand yuan red envelopes.

"However, what is said is that if the Qing Dynasty wants to avoid the danger of partition, national destruction, and extinction, it must introduce Western science and industry into its own country, and the introduction of new learning will be inevitable."

Xia Ruifang said quite approvingly,

"Four years ago, the emperor called on officials to learn English, which led to the whole country to learn English, business is taking this as an opportunity, based on the printing industry, after the success of the English textbook, it is also the time of the rise of new learning in China, therefore, Cui Fang only hired Mr. Ju Sheng with a high salary, and entered the museum as the director of the compilation office, in order to seek to develop new textbooks. It's just that the new learning is not extensive, and it is quite difficult to promote! ”

At this time, Xia Ruifang seemed a little stumbling, as early as last year, when the wind of new learning began to appear, he organized the translation of the primary school textbooks, but he failed in the market, which is why he asked Zhang Yuanji for advice.

"The new learning is not extensive, and it has nothing to do with the abolition of the imperial examination, and within three years, the imperial examination will be abolished!"

The imperial examination must be abolished!

Everyone who was shocked woke up from the wine, and looked at Chen Moran who was almost stunned in disbelief.

"However, why do you think that the imperial examination will be abolished!"

Zhang Yuanji, who was born as a scholar, said this in a slightly trembling voice, although he took the road of the imperial examination, but different from ordinary pedantic scholars, he had studied English in Beijing Guanren, and ran a new-style general art school, so he could quickly complete the transformation from a traditional scholar to a modern intellectual.

When I first joined the business, I agreed that "my generation should take the support of education as its responsibility", and it was recognized that the new school must be promoted, and the abolition of the imperial examination was inevitable, but when I heard this at this time, I only felt unsettled.

"The one who lives is also powerful. The general trend is the same, and the wheels of history are rolling forward. The death of the imperial examination system, like the Chinese dynastic system, was an old illness and a robber, and he had to die. The invasion of Western ships and artillery was nothing more than a straw that broke the camel's back. ”

The words were like thunder, and before everyone could react, Chen Moran, who was originally a little drunk, was taken aback by his words, and today he was a little forgetful, and he even dared to say the words of the Nine Clans, and Yu Guang saw the shock in everyone's eyes, and pretended to be drunk without thinking about it.

Xu Jian, who was frightened by the sentence "Like China's dynastic system, it is an old and sick thief who has to die", and Xia Ruifang, who was cold, hurriedly picked up his wine glass.

"However, it's just a drunken gaffe, please don't blame you! That's all for now! ”

Looking at Chen Moran, who seemed to be drunk and unconscious, Xia Ruifang felt that cold in her heart, looking at what she was doing, this was to bring back a God of Wealth, which clearly attracted the God of Wealth and also caused trouble.

"Ahh What the? ”

Xu Shuqiu seemed to be stunned, and raised his eyes to see Manager Xia, who was standing up, holding a cup, and hurriedly picked up the cup. In the era of being convicted of speech, people learned how to speak while learning to protect themselves.

"Drinking, drinking......"

When the drunken Chen Moran was helped into the carriage, the cold sweat from the back flowed out, and he bit his tongue to blame himself for talking nonsense. A few streets away, in the cell of the central patrol room, a bearded, haggard-looking man was staring at his visitor.

"It's you! You bastard framed me! ”

A roar of rage came out of Andrei's mouth, and if it weren't for the fence, he would have killed this hypocrite.

In just ten days, everything had changed, and Andrei was no longer the senior employee of the Shanghai branch of the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, but a shameful thief.

Ten days ago, on the night of his home, Andrei was taken away by the police patrolling the house, and when the bank was taking stock in the afternoon, the bank clerk found that 100,000 rubles were missing from the vault, and the only suspect was him, in the morning, after obtaining permission from the manager to enter the vault, he violated the rules and broke the other staff and stayed in the vault for up to three hours without permission.

Three hours, enough for him to do too much, 100,000 rubles are gone, who will steal it? There is no doubt about this, and the police also found 100,000 rubles in cash in his home that day, and at the same time in his drawer, they found an IOU from the casino, which he owed 40,000 rubles to the casino, and 50,000 with interest. The IOU from the Casino Royale, he didn't even know where it came from, he had never been to the casino.

"Yes, it's me!"

When given an answer, Anatoly took out a cigarette and lit one himself, which was a solitary cell, and he didn't need to worry about his words being heard.

"Why! Why do this to me! ”

Anatoly, glaring, Andrei asked again loudly.

"You get it!"

"You mean...... That money! ”

In the past ten days, Andrei has already figured out everything, it is Anatoly who framed himself, and he knows some secrets that he should not know.

"I'll keep it a secret, I won't ......"

Anatoly shook his head at Andrei's words while spitting a puff of smoke at him.

"Only the dead will keep it a secret!"

Dead person! Andrei's face suddenly turned pale, and he ...... He's going to kill himself?

"But...... Sometimes, dead people don't necessarily have to be kept secret, can they? ”

Taking a step forward, Anatoly looked directly at Andrei in front of him, once he thought about killing him directly.

But the dead cannot be kept secret, the dead can tell their secrets to others before they die, and once they die, they will expose the secrets that should not be revealed.

"The safest way to do it is!"

The finger holding the cigarette tapped Andrei.

"Now you can say it, but do you think anyone will believe you?"

Anatoly looked at him coldly, and the best way to keep a secret was to make the person who held the secret untrustworthy, and after no one would believe his words, the secret would no longer be a secret, but just a clumsy lie.

"You're just a shameful thief, aren't you?"

"No one will believe you!"

"All your words, from now on, no one will believe them!"

After tomorrow, no one will believe that the Imperial Ministry of Finance privately printed the banknotes of the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, and in everyone's opinion, Andrei only said this in order to take revenge on him Anatoly and the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank.

"I'll tell!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Andre gritted his teeth and roared, this shameless man in front of him ruined not only his life, but also his reputation, just as he said, now, no one listens to his explanation.

"You know what?"

Anatoly suddenly smiled, a hint of pity on his face.

"Out of personal friendship, I propose to the bank that you should not be held accountable for stealing, and of course we will auction off all your property to make up for the loss of the bank, sorry, this is the only thing I can do, and when you do all this, you have to think about today, don't you?"

"You ......"

As soon as the words came to his lips, Andrei's shoulders collapsed, and he knew that this might be the best outcome, at least not in prison.

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you!"

As he turned, Anatoly had an eerie smile on his face.

"You owe Jukovelli fifty thousand rubles, and Jukovelli has already taken it back in another way, your wife!"

With a finger of his hand, Anatoly laughed.

"Boom!"

Andrei slammed his grip on the prison fence and glared at Anatoly as he turned around.

"I'm going to kill you!"
