"I often hear Xiao Feng say that you are a person with very unique opinions in terms of knowledge and views on current affairs, and today I will know that your name is indeed worthy of its name. Brother Rundong said enthusiastically.

"Where, where, everyone is concerned about the current situation in the Shenghua Empire, but they just feel it. Xiao Sheng said modestly.

......

Brother Rundong's favorite thing to talk about when he chats is current affairs, and when he saw someone who had a common hobby with him, he immediately pulled Xiao Sheng to chat with him enthusiastically, and these two people have a deep view of current affairs, as a result, the two of them are chatting here, and the other students in the dormitory are just listening.

The two of them not only have similar hobbies, but also have similar ages, when Brother Rundong was with us who were three or four years younger than him, it was difficult to find a common topic, but now he finally found his peers, with a common topic, they chatted for a long time, and they felt like they were late to see each other.

Although I can probably understand the topics of current affairs and participate in them, I am not interested in current affairs and politics, I think these topics are too vague, they are all marginal things, far less practical than exercises and cultivation, and I might as well improve my cultivation when I have this time, so I don't participate in discussions between them very much.

They chatted until dinner, when Xiao Sheng said that he would not eat here because of something, and the two of them reluctantly parted.

At dinner, Brother Rundong smiled and blamed Xiao Feng fiercely, complaining about why he didn't introduce Xiao Sheng to him earlier, it seems that Brother Rundong is really happy to chat today, he finally found a confidant.

Back in the bedroom at night, in addition to talking about Xiao Feng's brother, of course, they also mentioned the matter of the imperial court's recovery of the right to build the magic railway, after all, this matter has more or less to do with many people's interests, although everyone has no chance to become a shareholder of the magic railway, everyone complained slightly, but they knew that the construction right of the Shenghua Empire's railway would not fall into the hands of other empires, and everyone accepted this result calmly, this matter did not leave too many waves in everyone's hearts, and everyone thought that this matter would pass so plainly。

However, I didn't expect this matter to end there.

Just when people in Xiangnan Province, including the teachers of our school, occasionally complained that this policy of the imperial court was out of date, this evening, Brother Rundong suddenly rushed into the dormitory with a newspaper from outside the school, and then he roared loudly in anger: "It's really hateful!

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

The classmates hurriedly gathered and asked, and everyone could obviously see that Brother Rundong had gotten some explosive news in the newspaper.

Taking a deep breath, Brother Rundong blushed, and said with hatred almost gritting his teeth: "A few days ago, the imperial court just announced that the right to build the railway would be nationalized, but now, these fools actually announced that they would sell the right to build the railway to foreign businessmen, and let foreigners build the railway of the Shenghua Empire. ”

Brother Rundong's comments on current affairs will not be as calm and indifferent as Xiao Sheng's, and he is straightforward and irritable, and he can't wait to use all the most resentful words he can think of on the guys in the court who made this ridiculous decision.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned, the classmates were first stunned when they heard the news, and then immediately exploded, they all rushed to Brother Rundong's side in disbelief, and said anxiously: "Let me read the newspaper." ”

I can't help but be shocked, these students and people were full of enthusiasm to donate their family's patriotic enthusiasm to the way of raising funds for the magic railway, but they didn't expect to be refuted by the imperial court's policy of rebellion, which has made everyone dissatisfied, but everyone can also understand the imperial court's decision to nationalize the railway rights, everyone endured it, but they didn't expect the imperial court to sell the railway rights that everyone was looking forward to regaining to foreigners, how can everyone not be angry and shocked.

"What are those dog officials thinking all day long? Do they just want to sell this country cleanly so that they can rest assured?" Brother Rundong was extremely angry, and he angrily handed the newspaper to everyone to read the relevant news.

"It must have been those dog officials who took advantage of foreign businessmen and accepted bribes from foreigners to take back the right to build the railway, and then sell it to foreigners!" After reading the newspaper, the students speculated angrily and scolded bitterly.

Before, I could still hold the attitude of staying out of the world, indifferently looking at those things, I thought I was a traverser, and I could keep my peace of mind, but after hearing this news, I was very angry and speechless, this court of the Shenghua Empire is really the best thing, no, he can't see how much enthusiasm the people have for this action? And I heard that not only our Xiangnan Province, but also the surrounding Hubei Province, Suxi Province, Sisan Province, Shanghai-Nanjing Province and many other provinces, there are a large number of people to participate in this fund-raising and right-of-way activities, because all parts of the country are preparing to build magic railways, which can be said to be a national action, this is the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country, and at this time, the imperial court not only announced that the railway will be nationalized, but also to sell the right to build the way to foreigners, which is equivalent to pouring cold water on the face of the patriotic enthusiasm of the people of the whole country, which is tantamount to another hammer for the already crumbling Shenghua EmpireMa's!

"No, we must not let those corrupt officials succeed so easily, we should go to Beishengjing, we must go to petition for the emperor to retract this order. Brother Rundong yelled angrily, the children in the mountain village are more straightforward, Brother Rundong is not afraid of the king of heaven when he is angry, so now he wants to go directly to Beishengjing, and he wants to go to the little emperor to theorize.

"I, I think, let's ask the family tomorrow!"

"It's too far to go to Beishengjing!"

"We don't know the way. ”

......

These fourteen or fifteen-year-old children obviously lack the courage of Brother Rundong, they are not as big as the 17-year-old Brother Rundong, everyone is a little afraid of Brother Rundong's proposal, and in the end they still persuaded Brother Rundong to take a look at the actions of the entire Xiangnan Province tomorrow before making a decision, I believe that the people who are dissatisfied with this matter are not only these students in our dormitory, I also actively persuaded Brother Rundong to finally agree to see the situation tomorrow.

However, everyone is still angrily scolding those corrupt officials in the court, these guys are equivalent to pushing the weak Shenghua Empire into the fire pit again.

The next day, the morning training was normal, but many teachers were already grim, and many teachers were loudly talking about the fact that the imperial court would take back the right to build the railway, and not let their own people come to build, but sold it to foreign merchants.

In fact, I also understand that the current people are angry, they are all dissatisfied, everyone is angry about the Shenghua Empire being defeated and humiliated by other empires one after another, and now seeing the officials in their empire are not angry, not enterprising, this is even more annoying, but after all, these people around are just ordinary people, they don't dare to act too aggressively, but the fire in their hearts already exists, which is like dry wood heated to a certain temperature, just a little spark, or as long as someone raises their arms now, I believe that there will be thousands of responses from ordinary people。

Brother Rundong has been very dignified in the team, obviously he can also see everyone's emotions, but at the moment he did not behave too aggressively, I believe he also knows how much risk the first person to stand up to take, in fact, such an example I and Brother Rundong saw with my own eyes when I was a child, the Peng blacksmith in our village was because of the rebellion, and finally ended up with the fate of hanging his head on the city gate, I believe that Brother Rundong also remembers those things vividly, the key is that this matter will still involve the family, so these things are still terrible for just us children。

Although teenage children have the courage, impulsiveness, and the strength to not be afraid of heaven and earth, after all, we are children who have just come out of the village, even if they want to give advice to the imperial court, they don't know how to start, and they don't know how to use it, and we don't have this social experience at all. If this is in our village, we know what to do, and the way to put forward opinions in our village is to stand in front of the village chief's house and scold, and if the village chief speaks softly, we villagers will let him go, and the villagers will not be too aggressive.

But now this is not our village.

At this moment, suddenly a few strange people walked in from the direction of the school gate, looking at the momentum of those people, ancient and powerful, not like ordinary people passing by, although the middle two people are dressed as rich businessmen, but from their strong posture, it can be seen that the middle two people are not shallow, and these people who came in are all serious expressions and extremely dignified looks.

After these people walked into the school, they stood in the middle of the field, when one of the tall businessmen took two steps and suddenly said loudly to the people on the field: "Teachers and students, please stop and interrupt, we are the personnel of the Xiangnan Province Magic Railway Preparation Association, please listen to what we say." ”

The person who spoke was not low-level, and this voice was full of confidence, and everyone in the school* field could hear it clearly.

When the students heard this person speak, they all stopped their morning exercises, and many of them were even more excited to discuss.

"Wow! Sure enough, the people who are preparing for the establishment of the United Press of the Railway have finally taken action!"

"What are they doing here? They didn't make us rebel, did they?"

"I don't know, let's hear what they have to say. ”

......

The teachers at the school didn't stop the men from talking, apparently waiting for someone to come forward and say a word first
