Song Ningning was lonely and bored in the river, after Lu Xian came back, she immediately came to accompany her, when she was helpless, she relied on Lu Xian's care, and naturally gave birth to a heart of compliance, plus the two are young men and women of the same age, so it became hot when they met, and it was difficult to separate.

Liu Zhisi heard that Lu Xian had left Shenzhou, and left a letter for Liu Yedao before leaving, reading that the letter probably meant: 'Fang Shiyuan admires Lord Liu, and will cooperate with Lord Liu's various measures everywhere, etc.', this is exactly the effect that Liu Zhisi wanted, so he put aside Lu Xian's intercession for the Fang family for the time being, and focused on thinking about the next move. In today's era, the changers have taken the initiative, so Liu Zhi's thought asked the second uncle to also join the torrent of reformers, so that those cadres who lead the fashion of the times can accept the second uncle, but this matter is not easy, so the second uncle has to accept a vote.

When Liu Zhisi was thinking about how to behave, it happened that someone came to visit Liu Ye Dao on this day, and Liu Ye Dao invited Liu Zhisi to come over.

Liu Zhisi made up a little and went out to the front hall, where he saw his second uncle drinking tea with a middle-aged man, who was majestic and majestic, and his eyes were shining.

Liu Ye Dao saw Liu Zhisi coming over and said, "Zhisi, come and see Counselor Tojo." ”

Liu Zhisi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Counselor Tojo saw that Liu Zhisi looked like a fairy, especially the awe-inspiring and unoffending bearing, which was really impressive, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really worthy of the name, Miss Liu is worthy of the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

This Counselor Tojo is now at the Japanese Embassy in China, named Tojo Kurasuke, who has been in Shenzhou for three days, and after a detailed understanding of the situation here, he wants to make a difference, so he specially came to visit Liu Ye Dao, and asked to see Liu Zhisi, so Liu Ye Dao invited Liu Zhisi.

Liu Yedao said politely, and introduced to Liu Zhisi: "Counselor Tojo once participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, this time he came from Beijing and conducted a three-day inspection of Shenzhou. ”

"Mr. Counselor, let him admire." Liu Zhisi praised, secretly thinking that he is a Japanese, why does he want to help China? What's more, he is a staff member of the Japanese Embassy in China, so he will not hide any selfish intentions, so he said: "I don't know what Mr. Counselor's views on the construction of Shenzhou after this visit to Shenzhou, Mr. Wanwang can guide him." ”

"Miss Liu's question is just right." Counselor Tojo liked to talk efficiently, so he said, "I came here this time to see that Shenzhou is quite vibrant, and the industrial, commercial and agricultural industries are in their own places, and this is the work of Governor Liu and Miss Yanagi. But only the Shenzhou Confucian Temple is in decay, and according to the following opinion, why not simply tear it down. ”

After listening to this, Liu Zhisi glanced at the second uncle, saw that he was expressionless, and secretly said that the second uncle may not have carefully looked at the Confucian Temple in Shenzhou, and the suggestion I gave him last time did not have time to think about it carefully, since this is the case, it is better for me to answer for him, so he said: "Thank you Mr. Counselor for your trouble, the Shenzhou Confucian Temple is now a ruin, there is no point in keeping, there is no financial resources to repair, sooner or later the house will collapse, according to Mr. Counsellor's opinion, how is it good?" ”

Tojo Kurasuke laughed and said: "What Miss Liu said is very true, a deserted temple, giving people only a sense of decay, it is really unnecessary to keep it, and it has ruined a good scene of Shenzhou rising for no reason, according to the opinion below, it is better to tear it down." ”

"Yes, instead of letting its house collapse and fend for itself, it is better to take the initiative to demolish it." Liu Zhisi echoed, his expression changed, and he frowned and said: "It's just that this matter of demolishing the Temple of Literature is a disobedient act against the ancestors for the Chinese, so we have to be cautious." ”

Tojo Kurasuke originally thought that Liu Zhisi had agreed with his proposal, but now it seems that she still has some concerns, and heard Liu Yedao say: "Mr. Counselor, do you know that the Confucian Temple is in China, just like the church is in the West, it can't be demolished. ”

"Lord Liu is too worried." Tojo Kurasuke saw that they all had scruples, and said: "The times are changing, the Confucian tradition has long been unsuitable for China's development, and it is the right way to change. At present, the trend of criticizing Confucius and Confucianism is becoming more and more intense, and it is wise for Lord Liu to stand on the tide of the times. What's more, the Confucian temples that symbolize Confucian culture are lined up in various places, which is not only not conducive to the change of people's thinking, but also not conducive to the establishment of new culture and new traditions. ”

Liu Yedao was still thinking about how to answer, and Liu Zhisi said from the side: "Oh, Mr. Counselor, I think that China should stand on its own feet in the world, what kind of new culture and what kind of new tradition do you think should be established?" ”

"It's not hard to know." Kurasuke Tojo said confidently: "Greater Japan and China belong to the same cultural circle, the same race and culture, but Greater Japan is very strong now, and the reason is that it can change cultural traditions and institutional traditions in time." China has ready-made experience to learn, which can save the Chinese a lot of detours, and in the future, Japan and China will join hands and prosper together, and will definitely become the most powerful group in the world. ”

Liu Yedao never thought about the integration of the East against the West, his mind froze for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, Liu Zhisi saw this, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Counselor, I have a high opinion, but China's thinking is rigid, which may be what Mr. Counselor is worried about." ”

"Miss Liu Bingxue is smart, I really admire it." Tojo Kurasuke learned the etiquette of the Chinese, hugged his fist and said, "It seems that Miss Liu also saw the root of the disease, and the hero saw the same thing." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Zhisi is still young, where can he dare to compare with Mr. Counselor." Liu Zhisi hurriedly said, "I had to be reminded by Mr. Counselor just now to remember this." Therefore, I dare to guess that Mr. Counselor wants to demolish the Shenzhou Confucian Temple, I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to open a demonstration in China to uproot Confucianism, so as to accept the idea of co-prosperity in the East that you mentioned, so that both China and Japan can prosper, so as to overpower the Western powers. ”

"What Miss Liu said is exactly what I think." Tojo Kurasuke clenched his fists again and said to Yanagi and Yanagi: "As long as it is conducive to the common prosperity of the East, it is incumbent on me to do so." ”

Liu Yedao replied: "Mr. Counselor said so, then let me think about it and then reply." ”

Liu Zhisi wanted to borrow Tojo Kurasuke's money, ignored what his second uncle said, and said to Tojo Kurasuke: "Mr. Counselor, in my opinion, your proposal is feasible. It's not difficult to say this, it's just a quick demolition. The key is to demolish one item here, the cost is not small, and the current financial situation is tight, hey! Where will there be money left over for this? ”

Liu Yedao hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it." In fact, Liu Yedao said because he didn't dare to dismantle the Confucian Temple rashly.

When Tojo Kurasuke heard that the finances were tight, he immediately patted his chest and said: "It's easy to spend a thing, and I'm willing to donate a sum of money for this to ensure that it is enough for demolition." ”

"Mr. Counselor is truly a righteous man!" Liu Zhisi praised him again and said, "Thank you for such a generous act." I wonder how much Mr. Counselor can help? ”

Kurasuke Tojo said: "2000 oceans, I think it is enough to dismantle it." ”

"Where is this enough?" Liu Zhisi smiled and said, "Mr. Counselor thinks about this matter too easily. When this temple of literature was first established, it was built with donations, and now if it is to be demolished, it has to give people an explanation; In addition, there are still many people who live on the market in front of the Temple of Literature, and these people also have to give them an explanation. So I did a rough calculation, without 5,000 oceans, we can't afford this idea. Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and I don't think it will take ten or eight years, and Shenzhou will not be able to save this expense. Liu Zhisi said this, deliberately luring Tojo Kurasuke to take the bait, she knew that Tojo Kurasuke was eager to promote this matter, let alone ten or eight years, even one year, he couldn't wait.

"5,000 oceans?" This amount was a bit unexpected to Tojo Kurasuke, he lowered his head and thought about it, this is the first time to demolish the Temple of Literature in China, it is of great significance, 5,000 yuan is also worth it, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so urgent, so he said: "As long as Lord Liu and Miss Liu promise to demolish the Temple of Literature within half a year, 5,000 oceans, I am willing to donate." ”

Liu Zhisi was afraid that Liu Yedao would hesitate, so he preemptively said: "Mr. Counselor is really a great thing, I thank you here first, I hope that Mr. Counselor will contribute money, we will contribute, and we can cooperate successfully." ”

After listening to Liu Yedao, he secretly complained in his heart, this is equivalent to having promised Tojo Kurasuke, it is impossible not to dismantle it, think about it, can you think about it, when the time comes, if you are not careful, our family will face great trouble.

Liu Zhisi looked at the expression of his second uncle and wanted to laugh in his heart, but in front of Tojo, he could only pretend not to know, and calmly said to Tojo Kurasuke: "In this case, if we can't demolish the Shenzhou Confucian Temple, we will be unjust!" Mr. Counselor, please rest assured, as long as your 5,000 yuan can arrive before the rain next year, I guarantee that before the spring equinox, the Shenzhou Confucian Temple will be gone. ”

"Well, happy! Miss Liu really has great courage, after the Spring Festival, before the rain, 5,000 oceans will be sent to Lord Liu's hands. After Tojo Kurasuke finished speaking, his face was already a little excited.
