Chapter 1 Butterflies Stir Their Wings
"It hurts!" Qin Yu hugged his head and groaned in pain, "How can it hurt so much? It's messy! β
Qin Yu only felt that his head was so messy, as if there were countless bees buzzing in his head, and from time to time flashed some shots that looked like a movie, but he hadn't seen the "movie clips" inside, suddenly, these shots were like puzzles quickly and orderly gathered together and burst out with a strong light, Qin Yu fainted with a "ah......" sound.
"Bang! Bang! β
"Young Master!"
"Someone, come on......" After hearing Qin Yu's voice, the two girls who were each carrying a plate of water first dropped the plate to the ground in surprise, and then shouted nervously.
There was a rush of footsteps, and a young woman walked in, followed by an old man with a long beard and long braids, "Xiaolan, Xiaozhu, what's going on?" The young woman frowned and said, "What a way to shout! β
"It's like this... Just now, young master... Woke up, but again... Again... fainted," Xiaolan said intermittently, "Xiaozhu also saw it, isn't Xiaozhu?" β
"Hmm"
The young woman's face was overjoyed, "Really? Then he turned around and grabbed the old man's hand and said nervously, "Doctor Ma, let's see how my son is?" β
Doctor Ma walked to Qin Yu's side and took his pulse, touched and knocked on him for a while, and then opened Qin Yu's eyes with his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, twisting his beard and saying: "Young Master Youyu, it has improved so quickly, it is really auspicious." With a little conditioning according to my prescription, it will get better after a few days of good cultivation. β
"Thank you, Doctor Ma, thank you, my son is fine," the young woman said to Xiao Lan again, "Go and tell Steward Li to prepare a thousand taels of silver, and I will thank Doctor Ma for his wonderful rejuvenation technique." β
"Hmm" Xiaolan took Dr. Ma and went to find Steward Li.
"Yu'er, it's good that you're fine, otherwise how would you call your mother to live?" Mrs. Qin touched Qin Yu's face with her hand and said cryingly, "Master, you must be bless Yu'er and bless our mother!" After a while, Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and instructed Xiaozhu: "You take good care of the young master here, and I will go to boil the medicine myself." β
"Yes, ma'am."
A few hours later, Qin Yu woke up again, and at this time he already understood that he had crossed over to "Qin Yu" with the same name and surname. Qin Yu is an orphan in the twenty-first century, picked up by a raged old grandfather next to the garbage heap, the old grandfather raised him as his own grandson, until the age of thirteen Qin Yu was still happy, because he had a grandfather who loved him very much.
When he was thirteen years old, the only grandfather who loved him died due to a cerebral hemorrhage that could not be treated in time, Qin Yu lived alone. Although he could only rely on picking up scraps to maintain the most basic life, he did not give up studying, because his grandfather hoped that he could become a knowledgeable person and no longer have to live in the world as poor as him.
Qin Yu studied frantically in order to fulfill his grandfather's last wish, and at the age of twenty-two, he passed the double doctoral examination of Tsinghua University, which were two majors in mechanical engineering and industrial chemical engineering, and spent three years studying English, French, Japanese, and German, all of which reached the level of mastery. He created many advanced machinery and chemical products, and with these things, he founded a company worth more than three billion yuan in two years, which is considered to be the fulfillment of his grandfather's wish.
On this year's Qingming Festival, he went to worship his grandfather, but he was hit by a stone falling from the sky on the road, and he fell into this turbulent era. After knowing that he couldn't go back when he got here, Qin Yu thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out, as long as he had knowledge, he could live a wonderful life, even more wonderful than in the twenty-first century, and he still had to do something he had always wanted to do.
Qin Yu was ten years old at this time, and he was the only male member of the Qin family, one of the top businessmen in southern Anhui. On the way to worship his father during the Qingming Festival, he was hit on the head by a stone rolled down from the mountain, and the servant was unconscious when he was sent home. He was in a coma for seven days, and he didn't wake up until the arrival of "Qin Yu".
Qin Yu's father Qin Yuan is a very successful businessman, he started from scratch, it took only ten years to build a huge Qin firm, with thousands of fields, thousands of family wealth, a time of unlimited scenery, but there are unforeseen circumstances, he took more than half of the elite of the family to the United States to expand the industry when Qin Yu was seven years old, on the way encountered a storm, the ship sank and no one was spared. Hit by this, the Qin family's business house shrank by nearly half, and seeing that the Qin family's business was about to fail, Mrs. Qin stood up. After that, Mrs. Qin took the lead alone, and it took three years to restore the Qin family to the level before Qin Yuan's death.
April 17, 1901 was the fifth day that Qin Yu crossed over to this body, and he finally digested the memories of little "Qin Yu" and completely fused with this body, and finally recovered under the careful care of Xiaolan and Xiaozhu.
This night, Qin Yu stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, looking at the dark sky in front of him, and said fiercely to the starry sky outside the window in his heart: "I'm here, the whole world is trembling!" "At this time, in the ancient land of the East, a small butterfly in Huaxia stirred its wings.
Qin Yu stayed awake all night, he was thinking about what reason to use to persuade his mother to let him go abroad, he felt that the current Manchu Qing not only did not have the opportunity to develop his own strength, but on the contrary, he would be subject to various constraints, and the foreign economy was developed, the investment environment was good, and there were not so many rules and regulations, so foreign countries were his best choice.
The reason why Qin Yu wanted to develop his strength soon after he crossed over, it turned out that he liked to read military and historical articles very much in his previous life, every time he read this history at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he hated it very much because of China's backwardness and was wantonly bullied by the foreign powers at that time, he thought that he now had the ability to change the trajectory of history, why not change the fate of China, so when he thought that he could change the fate of China, he couldn't help but boil his blood and couldn't extricate himself.
Qin Yu couldn't think of any good way overnight, and he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but he was still distressed. After a while, Qin Yu's appearance was no different from usual, so Mrs. Qin didn't realize that her son had changed his soul.
In the past few days, Mrs. Qin has been coming home very late, which makes Qin Yu very strange, because in the memory he has gotten, Mrs. Qin will rush back to accompany Qin Yu to dinner at dinner time no matter what happens. Qin Yu also found that Mrs. Qin's face was not very good, and finally he heard from the housekeeper and the bookkeeper that it was the governor of Anhui who had been asking the Qin family firm to increase taxes, and also hand over one-tenth of the profits every year as the Anhui government's protection fee for the Qin family's business house.
The next morning, after eating breakfast, Qin Yu said to Mrs. Qin: "Mother, I want to go to Germany to study, is it okay?" β
Mrs. Qin looked at her son curiously and asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to study in Germany?" β
"Uncle Paz said that their German knowledge is much more advanced than ours, and I want to go there and you learn more advanced knowledge?" Qin Yu pretended to be naΓ―ve and said, "After completing my studies, I can better help my mother manage the firm, so my mother doesn't have to work so hard." β
Mrs. Qin still couldn't believe her ears, and looked at her son with wide eyes and asked, "Does Yu'er really think so?" Mother, but I heard that the West doesn't seem to like us Qing people very much, how can I let you go so far away, Mother is left with you now, Mother doesn't want to lose you! β
"Mother, there is no danger, I can bring more family members, I believe they can protect me, and with Uncle Paz to protect me, I will not be in danger." Qin Yu said excitedly, his heart warmed when he heard Mrs. Qin's words, he hadn't felt the feeling of being cared for for a long time, he really wanted to have this feeling forever, and then he finally accepted Mrs. Qin.
"Let my mother think about it for a few more days.
"Mother, just let me go, I will study hard and carry forward the Qin family business in the future." Qin Yu didn't want her to think about it for a few more days, because he knew that if he agreed, it would be no fun, so he said directly, "Don't you think that our industry is not as good as that of foreigners, with the greedy habits of foreigners, they will definitely not let go of this piece of fat of the Qin family, what will we do when the time comes?" β
"This ...... With her mother here, Yu'er doesn't have to be afraid. Mrs. Qin said weakly, because during this time, foreigners had begun to embarrass the Qin firm, but because Qin Yu's father was very familiar with a German businessman and had been cooperating all the time, he was not too embarrassed.
"More than that, what if one day the imperial court falls in love with our Qin family, give it up? I'm not going to let my father's erection be ruined, do you think? Qin Yu continued to tempt, "Only if we have absolutely strong force and knowledge can we remain undefeated, so I have to learn advanced knowledge and military affairs, believe me, mother!" β
"This shouldn't be, I'm afraid that those officials are greedy and not satisfied, alas, when you grow up, you decide for yourself, my mother will support you, but you must study hard for me, you know?"
Mrs. Qin touched Qin Yu's head, she knew that her son had changed a lot after waking up this time.
Qin Yu's real purpose in going to the West is to learn military knowledge and accumulate strength, in this chaotic world, only with enough strength can he protect himself and his family, he thinks that since he has come to this era, he should do something for his beloved motherland, and overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and reviving China is also his lofty ideal.
