The year 1882 is approaching, and the city of Guangzhou is even more lively. Because it is the seat of the new government in Guangzhou, it has a magical effect. Many wealthy people from all over Lingnan have bought real estate in Guangzhou and are proud of it. At present, Guangzhou is building a lot of civil engineering, and the construction industry is growing geometrically. As a result, there is incredible news almost every day in the city of Guangzhou. At present, speech is relaxed and free, and dozens of newspapers, large and small, have appeared in Guangzhou, and lace news is flying all over the sky.

Sheng Huaixuan returned from Shanghai, and on the day he returned, he came to the military government to report. "Commander-in-chief, on the way I made a special inspection of the camp of the French prisoners of war, the French prisoners of war were very obedient and worked well. At present, they have begun to lay the railway from Chenzhou to Hengyang. "It's to be expected that the French are doing well, nothing unusual. The concept of foreigners knowing current affairs is soaked in the bone marrow, and they think that it is not a shame to be captured and become prisoners of war. And it contradicts our traditional thinking that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, which is also a cultural difference between the East and the West, and it is meaningless to discuss this issue. General Ribery knows this, and that's why I use them. Deng Zixuan said lightly.

"Oh yes, you go back to Shanghai, weishenme doesn't have a lively New Year with your family, I heard that your parents are in Shanghai! We are both officials and sons, husbands, and fathers. Filial piety to elders and kindness to wives and children are the minimum qualities of scholars and doctors, as well as the minimum qualities of officials. Deng Zixuan asked. Sheng Huaixuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to spend the New Year with my parents at home." To tell you the truth, I was chased back by my father. My father told me to take the country as my responsibility and care for the people. Let me assist you wholeheartedly, glorifying your ancestors. My father's fate was disobeyed, so I had to come back. ”

"It's rare for Uncle Sheng to understand righteousness, but we must always refrain from self-denial and repentance, and we can't be slack. Brother Sheng, don't be like a newlywed, hurry up and go home and take a look! "It's all this age, it's still young, don't be like a newlywed." "No, you're only in your 40s, and you're physiologically weak." "What do you mean by physical weakness?" "It's just sex." Sheng Huaixuan smiled: "It's incredible that you even talk about sex so elegantly." Truth be told, I'm not interested in sex right now. ”

"It's not a good sign, you're not in your seventies or eighties, whether there's something wrong with your body, or too much pressure at work. Maybe having sex with your wife is nothing new. You must know that if a man does not vent, he will get sick in the long run. "You want me to go to a brothel in search of thrills? What kind of system, if people know where my face is going? But you may have a point in bringing it out......"

Sheng Huaixuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Commander-in-chief, it is a misconduct for us two big men to discuss this kind of thing. You're on my nerves, but I'll take your advice and take it seriously. I just met Mr. Zhang at the Prime Minister's Office, and he told me that the cement plant will be completed tomorrow and the ribbon will be cut. The cement plant is built by your own hands, and you must be there at that time. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid I don't have time to cut the ribbon, a scientific research team from Shanghai is coming to Guangzhou these days, and their scientific research achievements have made a major breakthrough, so I will sit in the arsenal these days." ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "I won't go to the cement factory to cut the ribbon, and the samples of their trial production were sent to me for inspection, and the quality is much stronger than the cement produced by foreigners." Once the cement industry comes out, it will be rapidly and widely popularized, and the demand will increase exponentially. Therefore, you have to lay out in advance, all major cities have to start cement factories, you don't have to worry about funds, Hu Xueyan is brilliant, and the money is rolling in. "The silver dollar can be satisfied, all the difficulties will be solved, you can rest assured!"

As soon as Sheng Huaixuan left, Hu Xuanxuan appeared. "Commander-in-chief, the sample of the gold coin has been trial-produced, please take a look." Hu Xueyan put a purple wooden box on the table, then opened the box, and placed a glittering gold coin inside. The size of the gold coin is slightly smaller than the silver dollar, the obverse is the portrait of Deng Zixuan, and the back is only 4 characters, the Chinese gold coin, and the lower line of small characters, issued in the 2nd year of China. "My avatar appears on this weishenme, do you have my permission?" Deng Zixuan was dissatisfied.

"I said commander-in-chief, don't be hypocritical, you see that foreigners' gold coins have avatars. Don't underestimate this avatar, he is a symbol of a country, and the people of Li will have a greater sense of identity when they see your avatar. Besides, gold coins are collectible, and your avatar is a huge profit. This is also for the sake of the new government, you have no right to refuse. "You're cutting first, then playing, so I have to accept it, okay, it's not difficult for you to leave it like this!" Hu Xueyan had a good reason, and Deng Zixuan acquiesced.

"Oh yes! My fourth aunt is going to build a garment factory, a shoe factory, and a chairman. I thought she was asking me for money, but they didn't need it. How can I not know about the four aunts, I guess there is a shadow of Mrs. Zun behind her, if there is no support from Mrs. Zun, she can't do it at all. "No wonder Wan'er is mysterious during this time, so it is. Since they are so passionate, let's not interfere. Deng Zixuan said this, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Hu Xueyan walked forward, and Pei Xuan, the new director of the military government's information department, walked in. "Commander-in-chief, at present there are more than a dozen newspapers of all sizes in Guangzhou, and dozens of privately published periodicals have also appeared, and public opinion is in full confusion at present, and there are many articles questioning the new government, whether it is necessary to rectify and standardize it. Deng Zixuan smiled: "Weishenme wants to rectify that?" As the saying goes, those who are turbid are turbid, and those who are clear are self-purifying. The junta promulgated temporary regulations and did not engage in **. Words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, we cannot change our words overnight, and we will not believe in our words. ”

"I'm worried that there are malicious slanderers who don't have a purpose." Pei Xuan was still apprehensive. "It's not a big deal, I said freedom of speech, even if someone scolds me, it doesn't matter, you don't have to talk about tiger color. In short, the positive energy of the society is haode, and we welcome public opinion supervision, so that our policies can be continuously improved and reasonable. In the future, we need to build a democratic society under the framework of the legal system, and it will take a long time to put it into practice. You must know that it will take several generations to achieve a democratic society in China, a feudal country, so we must now create a relaxed atmosphere. ”

"The Commander-in-Chief was really far-sighted and saw what was going to happen decades later. The students were taught. Pei Xuan was moved. Deng Zixuan continued: "No one is perfect, and a regime, especially a nascent regime, will inevitably have flaws and even power. The supervision of public opinion and the supervision of the people is like a three-foot god on the head, reminding us all the time. This makes our official system purer and more efficient. I think your press agency can issue a rule that people are welcome to monitor the behavior of government officials, and report it anytime and anywhere, and reward them once it is verified. ”

Such things happen every day, and a few words may not have an obvious effect, but in the long run, high-ranking officials are edified, and it is bound to have long-term effects. The key is that Deng Zixuan's ideas can imperceptibly influence them and greatly expand their horizons, in fact, this is also a learning process, so Deng Zixuan tirelessly seized every opportunity to instill modern ideas to officials, and then changed from quantitative to qualitative.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the soft candles reveal a warmth. At the dinner table, Wan'er said mysteriously: "I'm busy during this time, do you know what I'm busy with?" "Let me guess, your hands are itching again, and you're preparing a factory." "I thought I was a surprise for you, but you know it all!" Wan'er was a little lost. "Who am I, how can your every move escape my eyes, but this is zuihou once, and your current identity seems to be suspected of competing for the interests of the people."

Wan'er explained: "I know what I should do, the fourth aunt is too early to run the shoe factory and garment factory, and I am behind the scenes. In addition, the funds are used to raise donations, and my fourth aunt and I do not make a penny, and the profits of the factory are completely owned by the charity association. "Oh! I see, your ideas are very good, and you are now my good helper, madam. "And say that, just now you have a tiger face, and you can't wait to eat me!" "Isn't it that I don't understand the situation, misunderstand Madame, I want you daoqian."

"My fourth aunt and I are not short of money, what do you want so much money for! My idea is that by using charity associations to set up factories, we can solve the problem of employment for women workers, let them support themselves, and improve the status of women. Second, more Haode has played a charitable role in sponsoring more girls to read and write. In addition, I plan to set up a special account in the Charity Association, which will mainly support honest and poor officials and solve their worries. Wan'er told the story.

Deng Zixuan was a little surprised, almost didn't know his wife. "Why are you looking at me like this, stumped me wrong? Husband! Everything I do is for you! Wan'er suddenly felt a little apprehensive. Did you think of it all for yourself? "Of course it's my idea, who can give me advice but you!" Wan'er said angrily.

Deng Zixuan was overjoyed and said: "It's really a good thing to look at in three days, Madame is becoming more and more shrewd now, so I will strongly support you and make your charity famous all over the world." "If you want to talk about this honor, it's not because of your influence. Now you are in a position of prominence and popularity. As a lady, I can't be indifferent! , you see, this is the pattern of clothes and shoes I designed, give me a staff officer! I have a deep understanding of the story of Victoria you told, not only to be your virtuous helper, but also to do good deeds to show your benevolence. ”

Deng Zixuan picked up the patterns of clothes and shoes drawn by Wan'er, and felt that Wan'er's painting level had greatly increased. In addition, the style of clothing and shoes is also blurred and has a modern atmosphere. "Wan'er, it's good that your design is aimed at women, but the design style can be more concise and bold, for example, this dress can expose the calf part and show the softness of the woman's legs. In addition, children's clothing can be designed. Children are innocent and like flowers in childhood and adolescence, so why not dress up children more beautifully. ”

"Yes! Your proposal is too good, we should increase the design of children's clothing, our children's clothing is too simple. Purple and red, a hundred flowers are blooming, and children are like flowers, which is so good. Husband, your ideas have always been so magical," Wan'er said excitedly. Subsequently, Deng Zixuan commented on Wan'er's works one by one, which further improved Wan'er's design concept.
