Chapter 101: Reporter Interview
Guo Yu walked out of the gate of the Jiangning Bureau, took out a cigar and lit it and took two puffs, spit out a mouthful of phlegm at the door, and then walked to his car, Wu Erzhu hurriedly closed the door for Guo Yu. Guo Yu, who got into the car, muttered: "A group of old guys, don't think about how to contribute to the construction of the country, don't want to improve people's livelihood and improve living standards, don't want to accumulate strength to fight against foreigners, fight in the nest all day long, play politics with their hearts, and only see their own one-third of an acre, this world is so big, can't they look at the world, work with one heart and one mind, and fight against foreign humiliation." ”
What doctrine to talk about, what to talk about the people. Lord, for the sake of an ethereal word, use the army to fight, at every turn, as long as it does not go according to your own heart, where in the world there are so many people who follow your heart, everyone has their own ideas, how can everything be as expected, it is difficult to reconcile, how can everyone be reckless, to put it bluntly, the central power is not enough, the provincial overseers have heavy troops, and no one is in their eyes, and even the president has to reverse if he does not follow his heart.
Guo Yu doesn't care about the imperial system or democracy, what he doesn't like the most is that these rulers let thousands of innocent people be implicated for their own ideas, sometimes tens of thousands of soldiers die, after hundreds of thousands of people, the rulers just test out the right and wrong of one of their ideas, damn, they are just a group of bastards, standing in a high position, in fact, they don't care about the thoughts of the people at the bottom at all, can't they choose a milder approach and don't hurt the people?
The convoy did not stop too much in Nanjing, Guo Yu headed for Nanjing Railway Station, and Guo Yu prepared to take the train to Suzhou to take up his post. During the period of the Republic of China, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway refers to the railway from Nanjing to Shanghai.
Nanjing Railway Station passes through Zhenjiang, the current capital of Jiangsu Province, enters Changzhou, arrives at Suzhou through Wuxi, the next stop is Shanghai, Nanjing to Suzhou can be reached in six hours, in the view of the Republic of China, it is already very convenient.
It was almost the New Year, and the climate in the south was wet and cold, so Guo Yu pulled his black woolen coat and walked off the train with his hat. I saw a group of people holding a long banner with the inscription 'Welcome Guo Yuzhen's envoy to Suzhou', and dozens of people wearing suits and robes stood under the banner in anticipation.
Wu Erzhu led a group of guards to get off the train, divided on both sides of the door, Guo Yu slowly walked down the ladder, everyone saw Guo Yu get off the train, and quickly surrounded him.
"Welcome the town guard envoy to Su Chang, Su Chang's officials at all levels and celebrities and gentry come to greet him, Lord Guo, the next official is Zhu Youkang, the magistrate of Wu County." The person who spoke had big ears and a loud voice, smiling at Guo Yu.
"Welcome to the post of envoy Guo Zhenshou."
"Guo Zhenshou has worked hard all the way."
A group of people stepped forward to greet each other, Zhu Youkang became the introducer, "Lord Guo, this is Zou Xuewen, the magistrate of Wujin County, Changzhou, Cao Youwei, the magistrate of Wuxi, and the ・・・・・・ of Jiangyin" He said one by one, Guo Yu smiled and shook hands with these people respectively, this is the parent official of the twelve counties under Guo Yu's rule, Suzhou was withdrawn from the county in the early years of the Republic of China, Suzhou was changed to Wu County, Changzhou was changed to Wujin County, and later changed back in 1928, Guo Yu did not know much about these, or read a few books on the train to have a general impression.
After the officials, there are celebrities, including local noble patriarchs, presidents of chambers of commerce, large business owners, etc., Guo Yu is kind and shakes hands one by one.
There were a few pops next to him, accompanied by a few flashes, Guo Yu turned his head to look, it turned out that several reporters with cameras were taking pictures, these reporters gathered around after taking pictures, and one of them said: "Mr. Guo Yu, I am a reporter who declared, can I interview you?" Another young woman said, "I'm a Ta Kung Pao reporter and I'd like to interview Mr. Guo." ”
Guo Yu turned slightly and pointed his head at these reporters, gave them a good angle to take pictures, and said: "Of course, a few reporter friends can ask questions at will." ”
"Mr. Guo, a few days ago, more than 2,000 mobs in Shanghai broke into miscellaneous shops and stormed the granary, I don't know if you know, what do you think about this matter?" The male reporter asked first.
On January 15, 1916, the hungry people in Nanhui County, Shanghai, opposed the payment of the price of Tuntian and the clearing of Shatian, and hundreds of people demanded money and rice from the wealthy households in the area of Yujie Bridge, and gathered to raise an incident. The next day, hundreds of hungry people went to Zhangjiangzha to ask for money and rice, and demanded that the operation of Tuntian and Qingzhang be stopped, and the police opened fire to suppress them, killing and injuring several people, and the public was very angry.
The hungry people gathered more and more, and six or seven thousand people went to Nanhui and Chuansha to "make famine" in various places. After the 19th, the "famine tide" spread into Shanghai and Fengxian counties, and two or three thousand hungry people flocked to Sanlintang and Liuliqiao in Shanghai County for several days to ask for money and rice. The Songhu Protector sent troops to cross Puchi overnight to suppress it, and the hungry people were scattered.
"I don't think the word mob is appropriate to describe those people, they are just a group of people who have no support, just for a bite to eat, a way to live, but I am here to tell you that if you are affected, Huafu will be your safe haven to help you through temporary poverty, and irrational riots are not a wise move, and may be used by people with good intentions." Guo Yu replied in a firm tone.
"May I ask Mr. Guo, as a nationally renowned philanthropist, why do you want to join the military circles, do you want to become a warlord?" The female reporter asked.
The words are sharp enough, but women and villains are difficult to raise, so they will buckle their hats when they come up, "This young lady, do you know what my ideal is?" Guo Yu's tone was deep, Guo Yu paused after speaking, everyone's minds were interested in Guo Yu's words, and the female reporter unconsciously asked, "What is your ideal?" ”
"Peace, our motherland needs peace now, he supports the 50,000 people of the Chinese nation, he has experienced too much suffering, has been full of trauma, now he needs to recuperate, don't start a war for those useless excuses, China needs peace now, the people need to live in peace, this is what I think." Guo Yu said in a deep voice.
Guo Yu's words silenced everyone present, and another reporter came over for a while before asking: "Mr. Guo, your philanthropy has spread across many provinces, what did you think at the beginning?" ”
"A few years after the establishment of the Republic of China, the people have not yet stood up from the miserable life, even years of famine, the year before last year in Hebei drought, locust plague raging, tens of millions of people affected, last year the Yellow River burst flooded, affected tens of millions, do you just watch your compatriots wail in hunger, I Guo Yu is not a cold-blooded person, I can't turn a blind eye and listen to nothing, as long as I have a little strength, I will do my best to let the people have a chance to live."
Hearing this, everyone present applauded, and the female reporter was particularly excited. Hurriedly asked, "Then Mr. Guo, will your charity continue?" ”
"Of course, charity is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. In the long river of history, although the society is constantly changing and the ideology is constantly changing, the philanthropic thoughts and behaviors of helping the poor and helping the poor have always guarded the spiritual home of the Chinese nation and maintained the prosperity of the Chinese nation. ”
"Charity is a common value pursued by mankind. Regardless of race, nationality and religious beliefs, as the most basic emotion and morality of human beings, charity has always warmed the world, changed the world, become a beautiful language used all over the world, and become a sustainable driving force for the progress of human civilization. ”
"Here I would like to appeal to everyone, stretch out your hands, try to help those in need, not to take money too seriously, to know how to give back to society. There were many people who helped me when I was down, and now I want to do my part to help those in need in society. ”
Guo Yu's words, the female reporter said that the female reporter's face was flushed and excited, as if she had seen an idol she admired.
Guo Yu nodded to several reporters, and then led ordinary officials and celebrities out of the train station. Everyone got into the car and greeted the team as it disappeared.
