The days passed unhurriedly, and a week passed quietly, and this was the tenth day that He Qi came to the Republic of China.

The outside world, the hustle and bustle is boiling, a wave has not subsided, and a wave has risen, making the end of this golden autumn more and more undull, and the "Preparatory Security Council" continues to promote restoration, and the initiator Yang Chengzan published a blockbuster article called "The Theory of Monarchy and Constitutional Salvation".

First of all, he believes that if China wants a republic, then the people must know what a republic is? Judging from the current situation, the majority of the people do not even know what law, freedom, and equality are, and if they rush to directly enter the republic from autocracy, there is no hope for a rich country, a strong country, and a constitution.

Second, he focused on the question of succession, arguing that only a constitutional monarchy could prevent wars that would deplete the country's strength, such as civil wars for leadership.

Finally, he believed that "if a false constitution is established, there will be disaster", and listed in detail the examples of the Qing court's fake constitution leading to its demise, and pointed out that it is necessary to establish a true constitution in order to secure the country with legitimacy and win the trust of the people with honesty.

Yang Chengzan is quite legendary, he was known as a prodigy when he was a teenager, and at the age of 20, he participated in the bus to read books, and made friends with Liang Rengong, Kang Shi, Datou, Xu Shichang and others, and later apprenticed to Wang Minyun.

Wang Minyun is a famous man with a great reputation, advocating the application of the world and delving into the "study of the emperor", that is, to find an "extraordinary person" to help him achieve hegemony and return the people to a clear world.

Speaking of which, Yang Chengzhan is also the same brother as Qi Chunzhi and Liu Guangdi, but the three brothers have their own strengths, Qi Chunzhi later became a generation of painting masters, Liu Guangdi is one of the six gentlemen of Wuxu, and Yang Chengzan is obsessed with the "study of the emperor", and takes Su Qin and Shang Yang as examples.

In 1902, Yang Chengzan went to study in Yueben, entered the Tokyo Hongwen Academy Normal Crash Course, and became classmates with Huang Xing, so he met many allies, and it was at this time that his idea of "constitutional monarchy" was initially formed.

In 1903, Yang Chengzan returned to China, participated in the economic special examination, high school rankings, and won the second class of good results, and the champion was Liang Shiyi, that is, the current Minister of Communications, at this time the Qing court wantonly liquidated the new legal person, implicated by this, Liang Shiyi was dismissed from the champion, Yang Chengzan was also implicated, and was wanted, had to flee to avoid trouble, in Yokohama, met Liang Rengong who was also to avoid trouble.

The two saw each other very happily, talked and laughed, in order to explore the way to save the world, discussed for a long time, appreciated each other, and later Liang Rengong wrote the article "Young China Said", influenced by this, Yang Chengzan wrote the "Hunan Province Youth Song", which "If the Chinese country dies, unless the people of Hunan Province die," it is from this article.

In 1905, when the Qing court was preparing to establish a constitution, the "five ministers" went to Yueben to inspect the constitutional model, and also specially invited the famous Yang Chengzan to come out of the mountain.

The disheartened Yang Chengzan had no hope for the Qing court, and after a few years, he was appreciated by the big head and hired to Pingjin as a consultant with high rules and etiquette, thus officially starting a legendary life.

...

As soon as the "Theory of Saving the Country by the Monarchy and Constitution" came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and people from all walks of life reacted violently, some supported and some opposed, and a great debate of unprecedented scale was staged immediately afterwards.

Of course, no matter how noisy the people above are, the porters on the wharf of Tongzhou Port still have to squeeze their bodies every day to earn meager rations; At the gate of Yongding, Wang Lao Er and his buddy San'er still sell wontons for six cents per bowl; The master who pulls the rickshaw can't make a triangular amount of money in a hard day.

He Qi is not much better, this week has been very painful, and he has not received a job, because Zhang Wuye has spoken, but in the future, he will charge a commission of two yuan lower than Zhao Deyi's translation work in Liuli Factory, not for anything else, what he is fighting for is a breath.

Seeing that there was no hope of making money through translation, He Qi had to find another way to stay out every day, except for a few games with Ruyi, all the rest of the time was devoted to writing novels, but the results were unsatisfactory.

Writing a novel is not a dinner party, paying attention to human feelings, not making an article, you can write a little or two points, not to mention painting and embroidery, there is a master to teach, writing a novel is a technology, a technology that relies on self-excavation talent, for people who do not have writing talent, it is one thing to remember the synopsis of the story, and it is another thing to write it.

It's like a man and a beautiful ex-wife conceived with a child with good facial features, white skin and beautiful appearance, and a child conceived with the same beautiful current wife with short eyebrows and thick nose and hawk head and sparrow brain, why is the son of the same father so surprised?

The reason is that the ex-wife is naturally beautiful and natural, and the current wife is artificial and acquired, so there is this result.

And Mr. Kim Yong Kim is the natural beauty of the ex-wife, He Qi is the artificial beauty of the current wife, the same synopsis, in Mr. Kim's pen, is a colorful and resentful rivers and lakes, to He Qi, it has become a stinky pool of garbage in the east of the village.

Looking at the dozens of manuscript papers that were worth less than 5,000 words after a week of hard work, He Qi read them a few times, and endured the pain to burn all these hard work, because the writing was so bad that he couldn't even read it himself.

It's so hard to write a novel!

He Qi couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

As the saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Zhao Deyi finally understood that He Qi was a loss-making transaction, and he paid so much, but he couldn't get a trace of return, but he had to put money in it every day, of course, he had to stop the loss in time.

He Qi gradually found that from three dishes a day to two dishes, from white rice to brown rice, followed by Zhao Deyi's complaints, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, electricity, coal, everything costs money, and even costs money.

Yes, you heard it right, does cost money, it's called clearance shipping, and someone will come over every morning to collect it.

Although Zhao Deyi didn't say it explicitly, he just complained, but He Qi immediately understood that this was driving people away.

He Qi thought that he was not the kind of people who took advantage of him, and he was too lazy to leave, so he offered to live until the end of this month, stay for about ten days, and find a job and a new place to live.

Zhao Deyi looked reluctant, and repeatedly explained that he had no such meaning, and said that if He Qi felt that it was inappropriate, he could teach Ruyi's English at a fixed time, and teach Ruyi chess, so as to offset the rent and other living expenses.

He Qi just smiled and shook his head, but in fact, he had already decided in his heart that no matter whether he found a job or not, he must move out at the end of the month, even if he slept on the street, he had to move, and he was like that fifth master, and he was fighting for a breath.

This Saturday, He Qi went out early in the morning, in order to save money, walked in the city of Beiping on foot, just for two things:

First, find a dental shop and rent a place to live with low rent.

Second, find a suitable job.

There are a lot of dental shops on the street, He Qi didn't spend much effort, he found one, said that the monthly rent should not exceed two yuan, electricity should be connected, and the location should not be remote, after leaving the address, he went out, followed the recruitment advertisements published in the newspaper, and looked for them one by one.

Autumn Japan should be full of harvest joy, but He Qi didn't feel any joy, some were just melancholy, even the crowd of people on the street in He Qi's eyes, couldn't help but become hurried, two male youthful students walked up, shaved a neat short hair, wearing a modified tunic suit, no lapels, three hidden pockets, looking very energetic.

"Shi Yan, have you read Yang Chengzan's article?"

"Of course."

"Do you think what he's talking about is constitutional?"

"It's nonsense, Liang Rengong said that he is a dog-headed military advisor with a big head, which is really true. This thief can be punished, vainly trying to be the minister of the dragon, so that he can soar to the sky in one step, and he is a real daydream. ”

"But I heard some classmates say that the Eikoku established the constitutional system after the glorious ***, and only then did it have today's Eikoku, and after the Meiji Restoration, Ito Hirobumi brought back the constitutional system from Europe, and the rise has been a lesson from the past, so why don't we follow suit?"

"Confused, rat-eyed, the republic can be abolished today, the constitutional system can be abolished tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be his enthronement ceremony, such villain's words are absolutely unbelievable."

"Alas......."

They are the most enthusiastic young people, with the purest love for this country, but in the face of the complex political situation, they can only sigh with admiration, and the paintings are useless laments.

It's not something they can meddle in.

He Qi sees it in his eyes and listens to it, but he doesn't feel empathy, and he doesn't even have a trace of turmoil in his heart, compared to these major events for the country and the people, He Qi cares more about how to find a job, fill his stomach, and live a stable life as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, He Qi couldn't help but speed up his pace.

After a morning's hard work, He Qi relied on his legs, ran two newspapers, a bookstore, the newspaper to recruit a proofreader, that is, to correct the manuscript, a monthly salary of 8 yuan, He Qi confidently thought that he could definitely apply for the job, but the result was dumbfounded, people opened their mouths and asked what diploma you are?

Secondly, whether he is familiar with Chinese characters and the use of literary language, He Qi is confused again.

The signboard requirements of the bookstore with a monthly salary of 15 yuan are more demanding, in addition to requiring a diploma at least high school, you must also have relevant experience, this is still the primary selection, after the examination must be concentrated, 1300 people registered, the primary selection brushed off 1000 people, the remaining 300 people participated in the subsequent exam, and finally admitted 30 people, He Qi thought about it seriously, and did not feel that the 30 people included themselves.

Of course, these three failed application experiences are not without gains, at least let He Qi have a further understanding of looking for a job in the Republic of China, and immediately collected a large number of newspapers that published recruitment advertisements, and prepared to go back to carefully select jobs that suit his strengths, so as not to run away in vain and waste his physical strength.

Unexpectedly, as soon as He Qi returned to the courtyard, he saw Qian Xuan sitting under the osmanthus tree, anxiously waiting, and when he saw He Qi coming back, he immediately hurriedly greeted him, and pulled He Qi to the door of the shop.

"Brother Deqian, what's wrong?" He Qi said confusedly.

"It's not clear for a while, you go with me first, in short, it's a good thing to make money." Qian Xuan took three steps and walked in two steps, and he didn't look back to walk outside the shop.

As soon as He Qi heard that he was making money, his eyes flashed with excitement, the exhaustion of his body was swept away, and he was full of energy.
