Chapter 161: Divergence
"There is no vanity under the fame! Now Yuan Shikai is clean! ”
Looking at the newspaper report on Li Jun's case, Chen Moran couldn't help but sigh, this Yuan Shikai easily kicked the ball back to the Manchu Qing with a "heavy sentence".
sentenced Li Jun to be beheaded, and sentenced to Li Jun's nine clans, but there was another word, a simple word, and kicked the ball to the Criminal Department, although now Li Jun is beheaded, but it is the Third Division of the Criminal Department that is going to be beheaded, and Yuan Shikai has nothing to do.
Thinking of Yuan Shikai's innocent appearance, Chen Moran couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as this old annihilator slid over, and with a gentle plan of Tai Chi, he wiped himself clean, huh! It's barely clean, and it has won the trust of the imperial court.
"Actually, this kind of clearance is nothing to talk about!"
Rarely express any opinions or opinions, Yu Hongyu will say lightly on the side, in recent months, he can clearly feel the change of the chairman in front of him, this change is that he is more concerned about current affairs, just like now, not only pay attention to the newspaper, but also occasionally invent his own views on the outside world.
In September last year, the "Chinese Education Association" was established with funding, and even the number of international students was expanded to 1,200, and the countries where the international students went were the three most advanced countries in the world: the United States, Britain, and Germany.
"For this alone, Boss Chen needs to support as much as 6 million taels of silver every year!"
Just when the whole country was surprised and admired by the chairman's feat, it was only two months, in addition to the Dongxu University, which took out a huge sum of 10 million taels of silver to establish the "No. 1 University in Asia", another 3,000 acres of land was allocated from Pudong, half of which was used to build a new school building, and 2.8 million yuan was invested in the creation of a university factory.
Only these two huge funds for education, that is, the world is dumbfounded, 10 million taels of huge money, 3,000 acres worth tens of millions of silver land, "100 million yuan to run a school" this kind of courage in exchange for the praise of the Chinese people at the same time, the chairman also fell into the name of "fool", but even so, the chairman is still not idle, in an interview with reporters, he also said.
"The Zhou Dynasty also set up five universities: the east is the east order, the west is the Zongzong, the south is Chengjun, the north is Shangzhen, and the middle is Biyong. Now that he is silently building Dongxu University in Shanghai, he said that he will continue to establish four universities in China: Zongzong, Chengjun, Shangzhen, and Biyong! In six years, Dongxu will be the first university in China! It took 20 years to make Dongxu the No. 1 university in Asia! ”
Idiot?
Xu Dao is someone else said so, but Yu Hongyu didn't believe it, although he didn't say much, but he knew that his chairman of the board of directors had far-reaching ambitions, far beyond the reach of others, since today he used 20 million yuan worth of land and 17 million cash to run this "Asia's No. 1 University", then he will recover this investment from other places.
The chairman will do a loss-making business, Yu Hongyu never believed it. Where do you get your investment back? Maybe in the future, when the university is completed, when the university recruits students, it may be like sponsoring international students, and a contract will be attached, which will require them to work for the industrial company for several years after graduation, but compared to this answer, Yu Hongyu is more inclined to another return hidden in his heart.
The biggest reward of this "100 million yuan school" is probably to make the chairman of the board of directors gain enough reputation, and those reporters are also happy to dig up news from the chairman, and in recent months, the chairman of the board of directors has often expressed his own views to the outside world, and even sent articles to newspapers and signed articles during the "Li Jun case", and even directly accused the brutality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty since it entered the customs is really rare in the world, and the Li Jun case has undoubtedly exposed its brutality.
What is surprising is the chairman's reprimand, in exchange for his removal from the top of the third grade, the Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to be powerless against him, but Yu Hongyu clearly knows that behind this powerlessness is that they are preparing to attack the industrial company, and the attitude of Shanghai Dao towards the industrial company can be seen from the recent months.
"Huh?"
Looking up at Yu Hongyu standing in front of the desk, Chen Moran smiled.
"Ziji, let's hear it!"
Saying that, Chen Moran looked at Yu Hongyu curiously, but he never spoke lightly this time.
"Chairman, Yuan Shikai seems to have cleared up the relationship, but he doesn't dare and can't get rid of it, if he clears up the relationship, the court will hate him and jealous him, and if he doesn't clear the relationship, the people hate him again, isn't there a revolutionary party in this newspaper that says it wants to blow up Yuan Shikai?"
When he was talking, he saw the chairman motioning for him to sit down, and Yu Hongyu sat on the chair in front of the chairman.
"The revolutionary party wants to bomb Yuan Shikai, because of the tyranny shown in Li Liangxin's case, Yuan Shikai pushed the beheading to the criminal department, but some people are still dissatisfied, they saw Yuan Shikai's annihilation, if there is also dissatisfaction in their hearts, Yuan Shikai's annihilation seems to protect himself, but in fact, the Qing political axe is not satisfied, the revolutionary party is not satisfied, and the people are not very satisfied, but for Yuan Shikai, the satisfaction of the people is not what he needs to consider, but what needs to be considered is the satisfaction of the palace and dissatisfaction!"
After a moment of silence, seeing that the director was still interested in continuing to listen, Yu Hongyu continued.
"The revolutionary party wants to bomb Yuan Shikai, but Yuan Shikai himself even thinks about this bomb, if this bomb blows up, then he is a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it will make the palace feel at ease, if there is no bomb to blow him up, the palace will not be at ease! ……”
Frowning, Chen Moran tasted some flavor from Yu Hongyu's words.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid Yuan Shikai will throw a bomb at himself, you know, this city is a real old man!"
"With Xiang Cheng's shrewdness, how could he wait for the revolutionary party to drop the bomb on his head!"
Yu Hongyu said with a smile.
In Hongyu's view, Yuan Shikai may be the real annihilation of the world, at the age of twenty-three to quell the Korean rebellion has been the governor of North Korea, when Kang Liang changed the law, Yuan Shikai said "Zhu Ronglu is like a dog's ear", but in the end, he betrayed the reformers with a head and tears, and expressed his determination to Ronglu. Ren Shandong's governor will quell the Shandong fist rebellion with an iron fist, and restore Tianjin without losing his dignity, during which all kinds of things are beyond the reach of ordinary people! ”
"The annihilation of the heroes in troubled times, the thieves of the country!"
Chen Moran's cross comment surprised Yu Hongyu, he looked at the chairman in surprise, he didn't expect the chairman to say such a thing, especially the last five words, this is a word for heart.
"Just talking about it!"
Smiling, Chen Moran looked at Yu Hongyu but continued, Yu Hongyu usually doesn't say much, for the people around him, Chen Moran is not at ease, Yu Hongyu is the surveillance object of the Second Detective Section, and it is the surveillance in the past two years that makes Chen Moran feel relieved. This is a full line of people in Zici's bones, and he cut his own braids in six years, and two years ago, when Nanyang Academy was in turmoil, he even took out his salary to subsidize those students who dropped out.
"This kind of person arises in troubled times, and if he encounters troubled times again, he will rise in the pouring moment, unless he ......"
"Unless you can cut off the status in the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
Yu Hongyu said lightly, then glanced at the chairman, and hesitated slightly.
"Chairman, if so...... I'm afraid that Yuan Shikai will be the chairman's first enemy! ”
With his eyes raised, Chen Moran stared at Yu Hongyu in front of him, how could he know that what he was doing was said to be very secretive.
"Chairman,"
Yu Hongyu grinned, and from the chairman's reaction, he confirmed his guess.
"From June last year, the company's subordinate Tianxingjian boots factory has allocated hundreds of thousands of yuan per month, and by the end of the Spring Festival, the stock of boots has reached one million pairs! Han Tang Fang garment storage is also as many as one million, and the company has purchased grain in Ma'anshan and Pudong, in Hongyu's view, these are all related to one thing! ”
When explaining this, Yu Hongyu looked directly at the chairman in front of him.
"In the end of the party out of the two rivers related, the newspaper has long rumored that the queen mother does not like the chairman, because the chairman does not know filial piety, the end of the party can sign two rivers, the lazy queen mother support, as a slave to share the worries of the master, will naturally target the industrial company, last year its first year in office, then back Liu, Zhang two adults of the promise, send tax officials in Pudong according to the store to collect taxes, the people are very resentful, but also on the goods of the industry more ...... money"
Chen Moran just listened, what he said was the truth, as long as it can be solved with silver, he has been enduring the past six months, the company has paid as much as 600,000 taels of silver for this, and even last year Duanfang wanted to train a new army, and also extorted 500,000 taels from the company.
“…… In addition, the company's library is full of newspapers, magazines, and books. All of the above, there is only one possibility, that is, the chairman is waiting for the opportunity! ”
When making bold assumptions, Yu Hongyu looked at the chairman seriously.
"Waiting for the opportunity to rebel!"
Slightly owed, Chen Moran smiled and leaned on the back of the chair but didn't say anything, but his right hand was pressed by an electric button, which was connected to the security room next door, if it weren't for the fact that he liked that Hongyu was serious and had a tendency to fill the line, just because he was an outsider, I am afraid that Chen Moran would have changed his secretary a long time ago, but some things are still well prepared.
"You guessed it, but I'm not trying to rebel!"
Looking at Yu Hongyu with a smile, Chen Moran spit out a sentence lightly.
"I want to recover the rivers and mountains of China!"
"Expelling the Tartars and recovering the nation, what my generation wants!"
Yu Hongyu said seriously, his expression looked serious and serious, but he was excited in his heart, he wanted to hear the answer he was looking forward to. While he was excitedly waiting for the answer, Chen Moran stood up without saying a word and walked to the window, through the window, he could clearly see the Industrial Bank Building on the other side of the Huangpu River decorated with building spires.
"Then are you willing to bleed like Li Jun?"
"I ......" was about to stand up and answer the chairman's question, Chen Moran said another word.
"Standing here is not the revolutionary party you aspire to!"
One sentence was exchanged for Yu Hongyu's silence, Yu Hongyu understood the meaning of the chairman's words, and then he really hesitated.
It's February '04 now, and there's still two months to go...... Will I still have a chance to sit in that office in the Industrial Bank Building? Standing on this building, his eyes looking directly at the other side, he wanted to see his eyes at Dongxu University, which was held in the old campus of the Whampoa School, and that university would not be used by industry, but by the whole of China.
This is his own request for Cai Yuanpei, Jiang Guanyun, and Wu Jingheng to build a largest, most modern, and most complete university in China.
"Whether it is the Revolutionary Party or the Liberation Association, what Jingheng thinks about is just the recovery of the nation and the prosperity of the country!"
Wu Jingheng's voice was slightly deeper, and he looked at Jiang and Cai in front of him, in the past few months, as the understanding of Chen Moran deepened, the three of them had some differences in some aspects.
The revolutionaries are undoubtedly the awakened ones of the nation, and they can even be the pioneers, but the awakened and the pioneers can also caress their breasts and say, "We can decide the future fate of 450,000,000 compatriots"! No, only the citizens themselves can determine the future of the country! ”
Looking at the two friends, Wu Jingheng insisted on his own point of view.
"How can one person, one faction, and one party be the masters of 450 million people, and what is the difference between such a revolution and the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
At this time, in the office of the president of Dongxu University, only Wu Jingheng's voice could be heard, his voice was not loud, but there was some mockery in his words.
However, he doesn't talk about political axes and republicans, just because he left the future to the people to choose, and then he once said that what he needs to do is, one is to train the army, the department is for recovery, the second is to run industry, the department is to strengthen the country, the third is to run education, and the department is to recast the soul of the clan! As for the political axe! But I'm an apolitical axeist, and I don't think I can represent all citizens! Only individual citizens can decide to represent their own individuals! ”
"Zhihui, in fact, it's not ......"
"Not really, is it?"
Wu Jingheng asked calmly.
"Sun Wenyan must mention the Communist Party, and the only way to China's future is to implement the republic after the liberation, as if the republic is a panacea for saving the country and trying to become strong, but there is a question, it has been issued in the "Enlightenment" The Republic of the World In addition to the United States and France, the two countries are among the powerful countries, and South American countries such as Mexico and Cuba are all republics for nearly a hundred years, but the republic produces a strong country!"
Jiang Guanyun smiled helplessly, indeed, Sun Wen and other revolutionary parties boasted about the republic, but Chen Moran spent several months in Qizhi magazine to introduce the "world republic" every month, and the current strength of the Latin American republic only shocked everyone.
"Then you don't support the monarchy?"
Looking directly at Wu Jingheng, Cai Yuanpei finally asked.
Two months ago, the revolutionary Yu called it "the hidden imperial system advocated by Mr. Crutch", saying that the Chinese people have chosen to follow the old system in the future after thousands of years of feudal dictatorship. It was from then on that the three of them had a disagreement.
"That Heqing, Guanyun, do you support the republic!"
Dressed in a black Chinese-style straight jacket, Wu Jingheng looked like he was knowingly asking.
"If he says that after the recovery, the people will vote and decide the future government, and the country of China will still follow the old system, Heqing and Brother Guanyun, whether they will attack in the newspapers!"
Taking a deep breath, facing the two friends in front of him, Wu Jingheng showed a little powerlessness, in Chen Moran's words, there are always some people who are bewitched by some so-called "panacea".
"If he says that the people decide to be a republic, then those who go against the teacher will be rejected by the people!"
Wu Jingheng subconsciously asked rhetorically, but turned his eyes away to look at the gloomy world outside the window, and muttered.
"The Napoleon of France is worshiped by the people and the hero of France for a century!"
After saying this, Wu Jingheng faced the two friends and smiled slightly.
"If he says that the citizens decide to choose the opposite of Heqing and Guanyun, if others go against the teacher, won't they also be abandoned by the citizens!"
When Wu Jingheng spoke, he emphasized the word citizen, citizen is the concept instilled in him by Chen Moran, and in Chen Moran's published articles, he often mentioned that "he said that the restoration of the country, the important task of the country, should be to build the consciousness of citizens, the society of citizens!" ”。
"How can you and I shut up in our rooms and decide the future of the people's country? In short, no one can pretend that they can decide the future on their behalf, the revolutionary party cannot, and the Liberation Society cannot, so when it is left to the choice of the citizens of the liberation, no matter what kind of political axe the citizens choose at the time of the time, if the political axe does not go against the people, respect Heng will follow it. ”
The friend's answer made Jiang Guanyun smile, and there was some bitterness in the laughter, which only the two of them could understand.
When his friend smiled bitterly, Wu Jingheng said in a heavy tone.
In 1871, the Meiji Axe sent a large delegation of envoys headed by the right minister Iwakura Gushi to visit Europe and the United States, to inspect the systems and laws of European countries and everything that is beneficial to the country, after the investigation of the book to realize that education is actually the foundation of the country's prosperity, an education system modeled after Europe was soon established by the state, in 1886, the school attendance rate of the school was 46% out of 100, in just ten years, increased to 95%, the book became the country with the highest literacy rate in the world! The well-educated person himself entered the army, factories, companies, and political axes one by one, and he rose rapidly! ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Jingheng walked to the window and pushed it open, pointing to the students who were practicing on the field outside.
At this time, Dongxu University still only has a preparatory office, the main building and campus of Dongxu University are still under construction, but under the skillful performance of the three people, they have used the "fame of Dongxu University" to recruit 4,000 students, to be precise, 4,000 normal students, they will study modern education here, and then, these 4,000 students from the provinces who have received many years of Confucian education will receive a year of modern education here, and then return to the provinces to establish normal schools, which is also the most important step in the education of the three people.
"Among the 4,000 students, the best of them will be selected to enter the Eastern Order, and the remaining 3,000 students will be divided into 100 free normal schools, and after one year, they will be able to train more than 100,000 teachers in primary and secondary schools, and they will teach millions of students, and in 10 years, they will be able to realize the great changes in China's education and the quality of citizens!"
In recent months, whenever he looks at the students who are mostly students in the classroom and during recess training, he always imagines the day when education will change the country.
"Heqing, Guanyun, such a spirit of education, how can others compare! For anyone else, there is no such courage, the foundation of a strong country, only rely on education! This kind of thinking is also difficult for others to reach! ”
The only pity is ...... Wu Jingheng's words made Jiang and Cai sigh helplessly in their hearts, but they just looked at the students who were outside the window, what he could do was indeed difficult for others.
