Chapter 1121 The martial windbreaker swept the country
Wang Maoru said that he would not join the two parties, but this does not mean that he does not care about the two parties, in fact, Wang Maoru attended the important decision-making meetings of the two parties. With the presidential election a month away, more than 10,000 people across the country have registered, but the vast majority have not qualified.
The biggest feature of this presidential race is that the members of Congress remain the same, and these members are the same as they were four years ago. Four years ago, in order to maintain China's reunification and end the Chinese civil war as soon as possible, Wang Maoru, who had already controlled the National Assembly, supported the leader of the Kuomintang Sun Liwen to become the president of the Republic of China. Now, Wang Maoru feels that the time is ripe, so he stands up and takes responsibility.
Wang Maoru's day is busy, he wakes up in the morning, he has to greet all kinds of people, and constantly give interviews to reporters, his words and his photos constantly appear in the newspapers. Wang Maoru was also the first person to give a public speech to the Chinese people on the radio, and in Jin Xiushan's North China Beijing Radio, Wang Maoru talked about the future of the Republic of China in his heart.
Of course, his speech was as sensational and affectionate as ever, and after the speech, it immediately attracted the enthusiasm of countless young people, and they couldn't wait to follow Wang Maoru immediately. Wang Maoru also pointed out several bad habits in China on the radio, saying that if he succeeds in the election, he will exhort everyone to abandon these bad habits, including foot binding, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, close relatives marry, and do not pay attention to the law.
After Wang Maoru finished speaking, Jin Xiushan applauded on the side, and the female announcer who introduced him said excitedly: "Generalissimo, can we really put our feet in the future?" ”
Wang Maoru said: "You must be able to put it down." Foot binding is devastating to women. ”
As the election date gets closer and closer, Wang Maoru's activities are increasing, and he is participating in more and more activities. In November, Wang Maoru flew to Shaanxi, Chahar, Hubei and Henan to carry out charity work. The focus of Wang Maoru's trip was Henan Province, because his career was to suppress bandits in Henan, he was named a martial general in Henan. Therefore, Wang Maoru also has a different feeling about Henan, and Henan is also the area that supports him the most in the Central Plains. And this winter, because it was colder than in previous years, Wang Maoru paid for it himself. Cotton clothing and food were distributed to the people.
Most of the time, Wang Maoru still distributes grain, ten catties of cornmeal and ten catties of potatoes may not be anything in the eyes of ordinary people, but for some poor people, this is really life-saving food. For food production areas. For example, Shaanxi. Wang Maoru's charity has won him a large number of people's hearts.
In addition, when Wang Maoru gave speeches everywhere, he also distributed special black cotton coats to his entourage, which was a Russian-style woolen trench coat, made of woolen material on the outside, and cotton double-layered on the inside, with a bright black exterior color and a double row of silver metal buttons. It looks strong and handsome, especially the fabric is strong. The wind and snow insulation performance is particularly good. The trench coat was designed by a Russian-American designer, and in fact there are three million ethnic Russians scattered across the country. Well-educated Russians have also done very well in various fields, and many of the designers in China are of Russian origin, and these people also have a huge influence in China.
This set of black trench coats only cost five silver dollars, Wang Maoru customized 100,000 pieces, and every time he went to a place to speak, he distributed this black woolen trench coat to the hands of young people who were loyal to him. Except for some people who are greedy for cheapness, most of the young people participate in Wang Maoru's speech because they worship him. This black trench coat, if paired with an armed belt, is not inferior to the Wehrmacht's military uniform, and even more handsome than the military coat in appearance - after all, the military coat also needs to consider ease of movement, and this black trench coat only needs to consider warmth and handsomeness.
Wang Maoru distributed a total of 50,000 pieces of black trench coats to young people, known as the martial style trench coat because of its unique significance, and 20,000 sets were distributed to young people in Henan Province alone. Subsequently, Wang Maoru continued to ask the garment factory to customize 200,000 sets, and he hoped that more people would be able to wear this martial black windbreaker.
Of course, many people think of changing customs, Wang Maoru is using his unique influence to change the dressing habits of the Chinese people, more modern, more international, more handsome clothing styles are gradually replacing the long-distance running gown. Wang Maoru didn't like the long-distance running horse coat, not only because this kind of clothing was introduced after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but also because the style of the horse coat was worn on the Chinese people, which looked extremely obscene and shabby. However, Wang Maoru was not the ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and required that he must dress according to a certain living habit, and he was gradually promoting and influencing the aesthetics of the Chinese people in disguise. Just as he never issued a shaved braid for the people under his rule, and forced the customs of the previous dynasty to be proposed, only the weak used coercion, and the strong only needed to show their soft power to make people submit.
In addition to wearing a martial style trench coat as a sign of loyalty to Wang Maoru, more people saw the handsomeness of this suit and followed suit. Considering that the climate in the south is warm and humid, the Dasheng Garment Factory of Jiangsu Governor Zhang Jian does not need double-layer cotton materials, and imitates the Shangwu style of making a single-layer windbreaker, retaining the characteristics of the shape and double-breasted buttons, and adding cufflinks and shoulder buttons, which are a big hit in the south.
The martial windbreaker has also become a symbol of Wang Maoru's soft power to influence the people, and one day in the newspaper, Wang Maoru's photo of wearing a black windbreaker made the people gradually realize that the Chinese customs will change in the future, either actively or passively.
In addition to doing charity to the people, Wang Maoru also carried out propaganda among the gentry and merchants, since the Republic of China, no one has been so "diligent" to communicate with the people and gentry and businessmen like Wang Maoru, he has almost no time to rest. For the poor in China, Wang Maoru used favor as a means, while for the bourgeoisie, Wang Maoru used co-optation and guidance as the main means.
"Enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, cangqiao to know etiquette." Wang Maoru said to the businessmen and gentlemen, "You are all well-fed people, except for a few who obtained it by illegal means. Most of them have been struggling for generations to get to where they are now. In China, the strivers, the smart, the honest, have more resources, the lazy, the stupid, the discredited, the more depressed. I firmly believe that all your wealth has been obtained through the efforts of several generations. Therefore, when I become president, I will also protect the sanctity of your property. However, those who write their wealth in their own hands have no charity at all, and it is difficult for them to make money for the country and the people in disasters, no matter who is the president. will be liquidated. Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to leaving wealth to future generations, we must also leave a legacy of philanthropy. Otherwise, you will leave behind a huge family fortune and cause the anger of others. Instead of bowing down. ”
Wang Maoru's promise to protect private property was sacrosanct and adapted to the hearts of the bourgeoisie, but of course there was only one group of people who were dissatisfied with him, that is, the big compradors. But the big compradors are actually the monopoly merchants of the foreign banks in China. After Wang Maoru recovered the tariffs. In fact, the monopoly of foreign banks has been broken, and many foreigners do not need to buy and sell through various foreign banks when they come to China, which reduces the handling fee in the middle and cuts off the financial route of compradors.
The existence of the comprador was originally a symbol of colonization, and with the unification and gradual rise of China, it is reasonable that the comprador was eliminated by history. As for the compradors, it was Britain, France, and Japan that suffered the most after the retreat, because the monopolies in these three countries held a lot of wealth and power, and after the Chinese government took control of the customs. The biggest gainers were Spain, Portugal, Italy, South American countries, the United States, and Soviet Russia. These countries did not form strong business groups, such as the British East India Company. Most of the companies are small, and after the Guò comprador merchants change hands, these small merchants cannot make a profit on their goods at all. At the end of the global embargo against it, they could transport internationally purchased equipment and goods to Russia along the long border with China, and at the same time, they could convert some of Russia's wealth into purchasing power currency, etc., a large number of works of art left over from the Russian Empire era flowed into China, and international speculators and adventurers also went to China to pan for gold.
As a result, Lihe & Co., Jardine & Co., Swire & Co., Swire & Co., Senbao & Co. and other foreign companies had to change their mode of survival from monopoly to competition, and they could also see that this was the best time for speculating Wang Maoru. So they went to Beijing to visit Wang Maoru, ostensibly to negotiate business with Wang Maoru, but in fact, they sent Wang Maoru political contributions. Wang Maoru didn't need these political donations, he already had too much capital, and he was also the richest person in China at this stage. Therefore, when Wang Maoru talked and negotiated with them, he was not very interested in the various conditions they put forward. Wang Maoru said: "If you want to cooperate with me, first of all, you should not do anything that harms China, I like money, but I don't like to sell the country to make money, and I don't allow this kind of phenomenon and this kind of person to appear." Sino-foreign trade is beneficial to the country and the people, you must not think that the Chinese people do not think, on the contrary, the Chinese people attach the most importance to integrity and interests. You have deceived the Chinese, and the Chinese will never buy and sell with you again. ”
In December, news suddenly came from the south that because this winter was really cold, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hunan and other identities had cold disasters. Wang Maoru once again fundraised, he convened donations in his private name, raised 8 million charitable donations, and established the China Charity Hall Foundation, purchased a large amount of food and clothing for the victims in the south, and the person in charge of the China Charity Hall was no one else, officially at this time believed in Buddhism in Anhui hometown to do charity Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui, who is 60 years old, has regained his place in charity. (To be continued......)
ps:ps: (Baidu's explanation of foot binding, I don't know which bastard said it, foot binding is the Han people's struggle against the Manchu rule, and it is the inheritance of the traditional culture of the Han people.) So Xiao said that Gao Xiaosong was right, Baidu Encyclopedia, as long as it is a neurosis, you can write it. There are some noble virtues in Han culture that need to be inherited and promoted, but there are some dross that should be discarded. As for the remark that foot binding is to maintain the cultural tradition of the Han nation and is a symbol of the Han nation, Ximen himself is speechless to this kind of brain-dead scholar. You have time to take a look at the introduction of foot binding in Baidu Encyclopedia. Simon applied for a revision, which was denied. )
