Chapter 746: A Thousand Years of Upheaval (Part II)

"Ladies and gentlemen, Japan and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water, and Japan has suffered an unprecedented catastrophe that anyone would like to see. As a member of the human race, as a person of conscience and morality, I propose that we should do everything in our power to donate money to Japan to help the Japanese people out of the predicament of disaster, and any perfunctory thing is a crime against humanity. ”

Qian Xuantong, a well-known linguist who advocated the abolition of Chinese characters and the promotion of shijie language, shouted: "Japan is a model of East Asian civilization, and it is also Japan that has defeated the powerful Tsarist Russia by its own efforts, bringing a ray of light to Asia. This encouragement is invaluable, and we should take Japan's kindness to heart. Out of the conscience of mankind, I am willing to donate 5,100 yuan so that the Japanese people affected by the disaster can feel the warmth from China. ”

As he spoke, Qian Xuantong took out a stack of thick banknotes from his arms and slammed them on the table. Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was a little awe-inspired, the government only donated 5,000 yuan, and as a result, a scholar took out 5,100 yuan, and the pastime meaning was too obvious.

Some people are a little reluctant in their hearts, donate to Japan, express goodwill, this is a good thing, after all, there are many people present who have studied in Japan and made a lot of friends, at this time to be a favor, it is also a thing to do, but if you offend the government for this, there is no need.

At this time, scholars stood up one after another, and more or less donated some, and some former political relics and business celebrities also donated generously, and soon the number of donations exceeded 100,000 yuan.

I saw that everyone was paying for it. The people who were a little awkward in their hearts couldn't sit still, and they all donated, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Qian Xuan and other scholars who organized this event showed a smile on their faces, this time there was a major earthquake in Japan with unprecedented losses, and as a result, after the Chinese government donated 5,000 yuan, there was nothing to be done, which made many people indignant, just take out a little money, and let the government lose a little face.

That's when it happened. Suddenly, a young student stood up, walked to the front of the donation box in a few steps, took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, and said with a smile to several presiding scholars: "Teachers, sir. I don't have any money, but I want to give a little love. Here are a few words I wrote. If only you could see it. I want to auction on the spot, do you think? ”

Qian Xuantong smiled slightly on his face and said, "Of course you can, don't worry, if others don't buy it, I will buy it." ”

"Thank you, sir."

As he spoke, the student jerked out the rice paper. When everyone saw it, the audience was in an uproar, only to see that in the middle of this piece of paper, two big characters were written in vermilion: shameless!

Blood-red blood-red letters. The piercing eyes made everyone exclaim, Qian Xuan looked at it, and suddenly his face turned pale, pointed at this student, and asked loudly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Hmph, I don't know what kind of kindness Japan has towards China, only blood hatred, blood hatred! The soldiers of the Beiyang Navy Division are watching from the sky, the fathers and elders of the three eastern provinces are still there, and the two robbers of Japan and Russia are dog-eat-dog on Chinese soil, what is there to praise? Let China stand up, let China see that what we hope is to send troops to the Far East, to fight a bloody battle on the Korean Peninsula, to resist the Far East Fleet of the British Empire, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, bloody battlefields, you don't know how to thank, but to donate money to those executioners, this is a laughable and shameless thing! ”

"The earthquake is a natural disaster, a human disaster, we donate, it is completely humanitarian, you are confusing the public, nonsense!" A few scholars said angrily.

"Humanitarianism, that's really nice, those unjust souls in Lushunkou, the heroic souls of the Beiyang Fleet, who talked to them about humanitarianism?"

"You're deliberately making trouble, get me out of here!" Qian Xuantong said loudly, and several people rushed up, and without saying anything, they pulled the student out, pushed and shoved, and reached the door.

Just when they were making a fuss, they suddenly heard the loud voice of the newsboy outside: "Outside, outside!" HSBC received a large number of holiday dollars. Financial turmoil, depreciation of the yen! ”

The few scholars inside could not hear what was being shouted, but all the merchants near the door heard it, and immediately two people jumped up, rushed outside, and snatched the newspaper from the newsboy's hand.

As soon as he looked at it twice, it was like he was crazy, and he ran to the house, and the fat man of forty or fifty years old ran faster than a rabbit. Everyone else also snatched the newspaper and looked at it a few times, but they were all dumbfounded.

The newspaper reported that at the Tianjin branch of HSBC, two yen with the same serial number were found, and it was clear that one of them was a counterfeit. The bank hurriedly called in an expert and carefully appraised it, and found that the two yen were exactly the same, and they couldn't be distinguished at all.

This scared the people in the bank stupid, they had a lot of yen deposits in their hands, so they checked overnight and found a large number of holiday dollars. The stakes were so great that they immediately reported it, and as a result, holiday dollars had also been found in some of the banks of Europe, and the amount was very large, and millions of dollars had been discovered.

I am afraid that there will be dozens of times as many counterfeit money as many as have not been discovered, and it can be called an unprecedented counterfeit money case in the history of the bank, and suddenly the banks of Shijie shook. More and more counterfeit money was discovered, and everyone was in shock.

Some banks in China also found a large amount of counterfeit money, and in an instant the yen's credit in Shijie was dealt a fatal blow. Compared with the Great Kanto Earthquake, this news has attracted more attention from various countries, after all, the issue of the yen is related to everyone's vital interests.

Most of these people who came to donate to Japan had dealings with Japan and had a certain amount of yen in their homes, and in their opinion, Japan was still a strong country, and the yen was still trustworthy. But after seeing the news, they were all dumbfounded, there was such a big problem, even if the yen in the family was real, it would shrink significantly.

Therefore, they all cried and shouted their fathers and mothers, and they no longer wanted to donate money to Japan, and they all scolded Japan for being shameless, and even deceived people with fake tickets, humanitarianism, and shijieism, all of which became nonsense in the face of real interests.

A good haode fundraiser turned out to be a tiger, and the scholars who presided over it were all dumbfounded when they heard it, and their works had also been published in Japan. One by one, they were still counting the yen, but when they looked at the report in front of them, they were like a bolt from the blue.

These little devils are really not things, what kind of money do you donate to them, everyone coaxed the birds and beasts to disperse, Qian Xuantong was also very embarrassed, the 5,100 yuan he donated was all yen, maybe there were fakes, this guy sat on the ground with a butt.

……

Luoyang, Henan.

Tang Wansan is a well-known rich man in Henan, compared to Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, his family has countless fertile fields and rich family background. When Wu Peifu was engaged in land reform, Tang Wansan saw that there was no way, so he ran to Shanghai.

After Wu Peifu was driven away, he swaggered back to Henan, wanting to get back the land he had been, but he also heard that the new governor did not return the land directly, but continued to leave it to those mud legs. He was immediately angry, Wu Peifu had an army of more than 100,000 people, and he didn't dare to provoke him, but the new official was a fart!

He immediately gathered all the former thugs, and found a large number of ruffians and hooligans, and gathered more than 300 people, wanting to regain the land, they rushed towards Liujiawan with great momentum.

As they got closer and closer, a few thugs were sharp-eyed, and they found a few half-grown children standing guard running towards the village, and they laughed loudly: "Little rabbit cub, go home and tell your mother, uncle is here again, wait for us honestly!" ”

Saying that, everyone else also laughed, and Tang Wansan walked in the forefront, even more proud. But just as they rushed to the entrance of the village, a group of peasants with hoes and shovels suddenly rushed out of it and blocked Tang Wansan.

Tang Wansan looked at the old farmer who was the leader, and couldn't help but hahadaxiao: "Old Liu Tou, our two families, it can be regarded as the friendship of the son and the father, my father cut off your two fingers to pay off the debt, you said that I want to cut you a few this time?" Haha! ”

"I'll fight with you, cut off the dog's head, and save the villagers from suffering again!"

Liu Laohan was holding a shovel and was about to rush over, and several young and strong young men around him were indignant and wanted to rush over. At this time, Tang Wansan suddenly escaped with a Mauser pistol, shook it in his hand, and sneered: "See, Tang Ye has a smoking guy, if you are not afraid of death, come over to me!" ”

Just when Tang Wansan was shouting loudly and unscrupulously, suddenly a gunshot rang out, and his wrist was instantly penetrated, this arrogant guy, screamed, and the pistol fell to the ground.

There was a sound of neat footsteps from the village, and more than 20 soldiers with loaded guns rushed out, they also carried two light machine guns, and the black muzzles were all aimed at Tang Wansan and the others, Chu Mingyuan also walked out of the village, and looked at the thugs and hooligans with cold eyes.

"You all listen to me, I am a senator of the Henan Provincial Public Office, and I am investigating, you all disarm and surrender, and after hearing this, you will be shot immediately."

No matter how many bandits there are, they are no match for the regular army, so these guys can only honestly hand over their knives and guns and squat on the ground.

Liu Laohan suddenly grabbed Chu Mingyuan's hand, and two cloudy old tears fell from his eyes: "Sir, you are a good person, but you must leave us a way to live, this land must not be taken away again!" ”

These ordinary people in Liujiawan suddenly knelt down: "Sir, have mercy on us." ”

In the face of these ordinary people, Chu Mingyuan really didn't dare to disappoint them, he returned to the provincial capital the next day, Yan Xishan also came back early, as soon as they met, Yan Laoxi said with a smile: "Senator Chu, the vice president has allocated 30 million start-up funds, and with money, it will be easy to do things."
