This part alone was enough to attract Yan Fu's attention, but he didn't stay too long and continued to read other content.

The content of the second edition is as rich, and the beginning is a serial called "The Rise of Great Powers--- Interpreting the History of the Rise of 9 World Powers Since the 15th Century", the opening chapter "The great geographical discoveries around 1500 AD opened the historical curtain of dialogue and competition between different countries, and thus, the road to the rise of great powers has global coordinates", which made Yan Fu feel a majestic and mighty atmosphere, and poured straight into his chest!

He couldn't wait to read the first section of the first chapter "Portugal, the first colonial power", "Growing up in the battle with the Arabs", and when he looked at the words "to be continued" below, he immediately exclaimed impatiently: "This ...... Where is this Mr. Tang Jin? Why haven't you heard of it before? What about the text at the back? Where is it?! Hurry up! ”

Yang Hao smiled triumphantly and comforted him: "Don't be impatient, read it all first." In short, it is indispensable for you. ”

Yan Fu looked back and found that the content was so rich that his eyes were opened! There is a serialization later, which is a novel martial arts novel called "The Legend of the Great Song Haoxia", just looking at the opening story and its Chinese collection, even a cattle man like him is attracted. If this is publicized in the market, it will immediately spread the news of the streets and alleys, and it will be regarded as a treasure to the major storytellers and allegro.

Yang Haoxin said: "Jin Daxia's "Dragon Babu" is really extraordinary, and he has the ability to kill the entire Chinese world. ”

Other contents include "Learn English with Me", a unique "Manuscript of the History of Chinese Science and Technology", overseas anecdotes, common sense of life, appreciation of American literature, economic commentary, industrial news, health care, and hygiene knowledge (Barefoot Doctor's Handbook). In addition, there are price announcements for major daily necessities, as well as product advertisements.

Colorful and colorful. After reading it, Yan Fu thought about it for a long time, and sighed: "The compiler has good intentions!" With this newspaper, it can be widely used to attract everyone's attention. The most rare thing is to be able to inspire everyone, find many ideas in confusion, and break this backwater, wonderful! ”

How can he not see that most of the content in it is vernacular, and it is very exquisite, blatantly challenging the stubborn forces of today. The conservative upper echelons will inevitably be dissatisfied, but the younger generation, determined to work hard, will surely flock to the newspaper and use it as a platform to express their opinions.

Such a publication, which can attract all walks of life from top to bottom, will inevitably have an overwhelming influence, and the leader can guide the power of countless people with just a slight stroke of the pen. When the time comes, the entire court will be shocked by it!

Yan Fu had long thought about starting a newspaper, but he never had a complete and clear idea, nor did he have enough content, let alone enough strength. Now, what is in front of him is a mature version that can be used immediately, and it is a fake to say that it is not tempting.

Yang Hao said with a smile: "In today's China, there are many people who want to rise up and make a difference, but they have no way to speak and nowhere to exert their strength. Our generation is not presumptuous, but we must first do the song of the horse, open the first sound, and explore the way. Let more people know that this world is no longer the so-called era of the Celestial Empire, and if we don't cheer up, we will all be eliminated by history! ”

Yan Fu gently patted the newspaper and sighed. He also thinks so in his heart, it seems that I am not alone.

stared at Yang Hao seriously and asked, "So, you came to me to pull me in?" ”

"It's not a move-in." Yang Hao replied, "It is Mr. Invite, as the editor-in-chief of the "National News", to take on the role of making this newspaper bigger and better, making it a pioneer who inspires the people, alerts compatriots, publicizes the righteousness of the modern country and the nation, brings the idea of prosperity and openness, and truly leads my 40,000,000 descendants of Yan and Huang out of chaos, and don't go on forever!" ”

That's a lot of work! Confident as Yan Fu also felt uneasy, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't afford such praise." Besides, you already have such a perfect model, it's okay to ask me to post some articles....... ”

Yang Hao laughed: "This is just some things that we have accumulated over the years, and we just put them together." The main content depends on the big talent like Mr. to preside over the update and review, which is more professional. Moreover, only the appeal of Mr. can gather more people with lofty ideals to join in and work together to make it better. We only need to do our best to do a good job of leading the horse to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, safety and peace of mind. ”

Yan Fu can see that the style upheld by this newspaper is neither conservative nor conservative; While disseminating the achievements and classics of Chinese civilization, it also describes the process of world science in a peaceful and detailed manner, so that readers can make sober and intuitive judgments and inspire their thinking.

This is much better than the practice of pressing the scalp and forcing the hard water, and it can also enable the broad masses of the people, who are closed off from information, to see clearly that the strength of the great powers has not come from a blank slate, and they have also come from weakness step by step to today. Carefully analyze the rise and fall of thousands of years, find out what should be innovated, what should be inherited, what should be carried forward, and integrate with Western scholarship is the way to rejuvenation!

Strictly speaking, Yan Fu really understands the golden mean, and understands that it is absolutely unacceptable to use an either/or approach to destroy a single qiē arbitrarily, and to break it again at every turn. The stubborn "middle school for the body and Western learning for use" and the radical "total westernization" will only bring irreparable evil consequences and make China's rejuvenation take many unjust paths in vain.

Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time, at the juncture of this great change unprecedented in 3,000 years, and the graceful and calm and confident temperament of the Chinese thousands of years ago has long disappeared.

Chinese culture reached its peak in the early Northern Song Dynasty. After releasing the infinite brilliance, with the party struggle between Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, the cultural power represented by Confucianism was distorted and blocked, and it took a sharp turn. The great collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was based on Zhu Zi's chapters, and the imperial examination became a tool to control the mind. Zhu Yuanzhang's self-righteous and arrogant demarcation made the equality of the four peoples of Shinong, industry and commerce forever history.

Scholars are just to be officials, get ahead, glorify their ancestors, and protect their clans. They were nominally loyal to the emperor, but in fact they first held together to protect the interests of the scholar class, and then followed by infighting like mad dogs, joining forces to trample on the soldiers, trample on the merchants, and frantically loot the interests for their own use, and finally brought down a Han dynasty alive!

The people's hearts were devastated, civilization fell apart, but they shamelessly immediately fell to barbarians, after these two hundred and fifty years of repression, castration, discipline is not seen at all, except for their own fame and fortune, what country and nation, what righteous position, all left behind!

Such a class, a group, and a force, a whole thousand years of rubbing, have almost completely changed the true Chinese civilization's true character of self-improvement, pioneering spirit, inclusiveness, and wisdom. The scholars of the late Qing Dynasty, who were stunned by the guns and cannons of the foreign powers, took it for granted that they could not learn the traditional culture of their home as the culprit, and completely did not distinguish between them, and put all the blame on their ancestors and culture, and turned their heads upside down and knelt and licked at the feet of Western mechanical civilization.

In the final analysis, they still have not shed the impatience of the scholars of the old era, selfishness, short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness, undisciplined and indiscriminate denial of Yiqiē, and pursue a biased culture that is simply immature. As a result, nature has had catastrophic consequences, centuries-long trauma.

But they did not wake up, and when they arrived in the new dynasty, they still unconsciously climbed onto the heads of the majority of the people and proudly gestured with their hands and feet, and after a meal of cleaning up, they felt extremely aggrieved, and the environment was slightly relaxed, and they immediately reverted to the old state.

It is a dream to expect them to lead Chinese civilization out of the trough and towards rejuvenation.

In time and space without the interference of external forces, Yan Fu was lonely and helpless in the second half of his life. But today, Yang Hao walked in front of him, and every qiē will be completely different!

Having said this, Yan Fu suddenly remembered that he didn't ask about Yang Hao's identity. The two people who were more than ten years apart laughed together, Yang Hao still reported the statement of returning overseas Chinese, and told him without concealing that he was about to find the American concession as a foothold, and he would put all the newspapers and factories in it, so that the Qing court would have the intention to interfere, and he would not be able to go in and arrest people casually.

Yan Fu thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but praise with his palm: "The choice of this place is excellent!" It can avoid many worries. Can the Americans agree? ”

Yang Hao was full of confidence: "They will definitely agree." As long as they are willing to take money, there will be no problems. ”

Yan Fu had already decided to agree to go out of the mountain to do things, and asked him seriously: "It costs a lot of money to run a newspaper, especially for many expatriates, who send telegrams on urgent news, which costs a lot of money, but the income is very small. Will your finances be able to sustain you in the long term? ”

Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "My family has a few 5,000-ton ships, and they send goods worth one million taels here every month, and the foreign banks in Tianjin add up, and that's it." Mr. Yan, behind us, there is a whole class of people who are looking forward to the rejuvenation of China to support us, and money is never an issue. ”

Yan Fu is silent, this is a big local tyrant! A 5,000-ton ship, how can a ship cost a million taels of silver? How many do you have in your house? Don't talk about Tianjin, how many are so rich in the entire Qing Dynasty?

Fortunately, the Yang family is not like the old man in Shanxi, who goes home to build a house and hides it in the cellar when he makes money, but takes it out to do such a big thing as inspiring people's wisdom and revitalizing the industry. Since he has encountered it, he must not let it go lightly.

The goal has been achieved, Yang Hao did not want to procrastinate, and left a silver ticket for Yan Fu to buy a temporary office space in the British Concession, register and choose the opportunity to open the business, and ask him to contact his friends to make friends and form a team. Then he said goodbye and left, and returned to the house across the wall.
