Wang Yong likes ancient Chinese landscape paintings very much, he likes them since he was a child, so he picked some in the thrift market with his immature vision, those Liao Yuan's indifferent landscape paintings made him ecstatic, although he may have been pitted a few times during the period, but it is not very important to him himself, as long as he looks pleasing to the eye, the pursuit is a kind of artistic conception.

Wang Yong admired a slightly complete landscape painting by candlelight and the subtle sunlight passing through in the afternoon, the strange rocky strange mountains, and the indifferent scribes in front of the river waves, he nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, I heard a noise at the mouth of the ladder. Looking back, the sunlight outside the door was a little dazzling, but the next moment a round gray face, half a slender woman's body, reflected in the eyes.

It should be the female worker who lives next door to her.

Before and after the Republic of China, due to the establishment of many factories in Shanghai, both national capitalists and foreign capitalists employed many workers, some of whom were not female workers, and some service work also needed to be done by them.

As in later generations, men's houses are always uneasy and even need to be guaranteed.

As a result, there was a lot of co-housing between men and women during this period, and many male intellectuals from all over the country came to Shanghai to study, study, or look for opportunities to go overseas here.

I often share a house with a female worker here, pretending to be a husband and wife, or a man and a woman living together, and then I often pretend to do it.

There are a small number of them, but in the turbulent era, even more open and chaotic relationships than later generations, and huge status gaps, most of these relationships ended up in failure, and I don't know who ended up as a pick-up man.

When she walked up the ladder, Wang Yongcai stood up and nodded to her and said:

"I'm sorry, I just moved here today, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future."

When she heard Wang Yong's words, she didn't answer, put a pair of big dark eyes, took a deep look at him, and then walked up to her door to unlock the lock and enter the room.

Wang Yong glanced at her, probably a poor woman. Her high nose bridge, gray and round face, and thin and not tall body all seem to indicate that she is pitiful characteristics, but these have little to do with Wang Yong, he read a conversation and continued to write hard.

In addition to some chapters on the rise of great powers, there are also some visits to Shanghai these days, various analyses of this society, and analysis of the current national conditions of the country.

Of course, a lot of it is borrowed from a great man.

In this era, as long as the regime of ethnic minorities can be overthrown, a strong central government dominated by Han Chinese, supplemented by Soviet-style political and economic institutions and the support of other world technicians, it will not be very difficult to build a strong state in two or three decades.

It took only ten years for Tsarist Russia to go from the weakest link of imperialism to the second industrial power in the world in the Soviet Union.

Wang Yong didn't believe that he couldn't do it, but more to open his mind and strong means.

It only took Liu Xiu seven years to dominate the country, so there is nothing that must not be done.

You can't be in that position without great ability and great luck.

For more than a week in this slum, she went to work at 7 o'clock in the morning and came back from work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, always seeing Wang Yong reading or writing something.

Her curiosity was stirred by Wang Yong's crazy attitude. One day she got off work and walked upstairs. She walked to Wang Yong's side and suddenly stopped. Glancing at him, he asked me as if he was afraid of something:

"What kind of book do you read here every day?"

She in a soft Suzhou tone, which is very nice.

After being in Shanghai for so many days, Wang Yong can somewhat understand this kind of words.

Suzhou people, Wang Yong thought.

In later generations, most of the girls in Suzhou are small jasper, enjoying a privileged life and the favor of their parents and boyfriends, how can they work like her.

Wang Yong looked at her and smiled and said, "Read some books on Daozang Immortal Cultivation." ”

When she heard this, she glanced at Wang Yong deeply, made a puzzled description, and still walked into her room.

Seeing her gently close the door, Wang Yong grinned, she didn't think she was crazy, she didn't forget to cultivate immortals when she was poor.

It would be too exaggerated to say that Wang Yong was just busy cultivating immortals these days.

His series on the rise of great powers finished the volumes of Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, and entered the English volumes and the French volumes.

Such a systematic analysis of the causes and processes of the rise of world powers has caused a sensation not only among the Chinese.

Even foreigners in Shanghai became interested.

The consulates of various countries in Shanghai have set off a wave of the rise of the reading powers.

At this time, the intellectual circles of the late Qing Dynasty set off a monstrous wave, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while. The number of issuances that cannot be declared has increased dramatically. The number of declared issuances in Beijing, Tianjin, Hankou, Nanjing, Changsha, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Chengdu and other places has increased dramatically.

Many manuscripts are in circulation, and the first thing many people do when they get the newspaper is to copy down the series on the rise of great powers, enshrine them as guigao, and read them every day.

The manuscripts were circulated in their hands, and students often gathered together to read aloud the texts.

Of course, the editorial office of the application will not let go of this good opportunity, and different books are published according to different countries.

Revolutionaries abroad soon discovered the books that had caused a frenzy at home, and gradually they found a way in them.

Sun Wen said: "This person's knowledge of the Taixi countries is very profound and comprehensive, such an enlightened person can definitely not be a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he must try his best to absorb him into the League." ”

Zhang Taiyan was excited with Wang Yong's book, he was the backbone of the Baath Party, although he was merged into the League, but he felt that there was a plate of scattered sand here, and many of Sun Wen's ideas seemed to be castles in the air, seeing these articles, he took his hat and went back to China directly: "I must find Mr. Wang Yong." ”

Since the Meiji Restoration, there has been a wave of unanimous learning from the West throughout the country, and even books such as "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" that were abandoned in the Qing Dynasty will not be spared, let alone the rise of great powers.

These scrolls also caused a sensation in Japan, and their influence was no less than in China, and even because of the popularization of education, more people read them than in China.

This sparked a heated debate in Japan.

One faction believes that these series of books show that China has really begun to open its eyes to the world, to have a deep understanding of Western civilization, and that with the situation of China's political situation, a revolution to overthrow the Qing Dynasty will soon take place, and that Japan should be brothers with the nascent Chinese regime, and that they should work together to revitalize East Asia and fight together against the British and Mimetric.

There were many such currents of thought before and after the Xinhai Revolution, and many Japanese people came to support the Xinhai Revolution, and after the success, the Japanese soldiers in Hankou spontaneously celebrated the birth of the first democratic republic in Asia.

Of course, there are also reasons why Japan wants to trigger a civil war in China, mess up China, and seize Northeast China.

Ishihara was also one of them, rejoicing in the birth of the Republic of China, but after traveling in China, he thought that the Republic of China was just rubbish and that the Chinese deserved only slavery.

On the other hand, the Japanese military also sees this as a sign of danger, and once China overthrows the Manchu Qing and establishes a strong government, the first thing China will do is probably to compete with Japan for hegemony in East Asia. People like Wang Yong will either be assassinated, or they will be co-opted by the empire and become a dog controlled by the empire.
