Chapter 155, Shanghai

When I came out of Guanzhong and came to Shanghai, there was a newspaper report about the earthquake. However, Li Shucheng bought a few newspapers to read, and it was a big report, and it had been four or five days since the incident, and some newspapers didn't even know where the epicenter was, let alone how many losses there were, and how many people were killed or injured.

"Hasn't Gu Yuan been sending out reports?" Jiang Mingyue said, "The above should have received the news, right?"

"God knows if they received it. Li Shucheng said, handed the newspaper to Jiang Mingyue, pointed to the news on it and said, "Even if they receive it, they may not be able to provide disaster relief." Look at how they provided disaster relief in the five northern provinces before the severe drought? It doesn't even matter how much of the relief money donated by the people has been distributed!"

"It's good that we came, otherwise the people wouldn't know that there was an earthquake in two years. Jiang Mingyue said, "As long as the newspaper reports it and attracts the attention of the people, no matter whether the government pays or not, as long as the people's donations can be sent to Gansu, they can also help the disaster area." ”

Jiang Mingyue wrote down what she had seen and heard in the disaster area and sent it to the newspaper, although the newspaper could not verify the authenticity, but when she thought that the earthquake waves spared the earth twice, and the casualties of such a strong earthquake must have caused great losses, some newspapers reported it the next day, and it was still on the front page. For example, when reporting these big newspapers, reporters were immediately dispatched to Gansu to verify their authenticity.

A few days later, the reporters who came to the earthquake-stricken area sent out the news one by one through the Guyuan telegram, and the big newspapers finally joined in, and the influence expanded rapidly, spreading from Shanghai, and public opinion converged into one voice: If one side is in trouble, all sides will support!

Students and teachers went to the streets to give speeches and publicity, calling for donations and materials, calling on the government to provide disaster relief, and some students even formed a disaster relief team to go to the disaster area.

As public opinion expanded, the government had to make a show even if it didn't want to provide disaster relief, and with donations from the people, food was finally picked up.

Through the news transmission of the newspaper, Jiang Mingyue saw the swiftness of the telegram, and exclaimed: "Dianbai, this thing is so easy to use, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will be received here as soon as the report is sent here, if there was this thing before, how good it would be!"

Li Shucheng said in his heart: "This thing is not fast, if you have a mobile phone, it can be faster than a telegram, and things can be explained clearly and in detail." And you can take it with you, which is more convenient. But the telegraph was a great thing in this era, and said, "Well, the times are advancing, and with the advancement of technology, there will be better things in the future." ”

"We'll get a couple of telegrams, and we'll be able to use them sometimes. Jiang Mingyue said.

"Yes!" Li Shucheng said, "but the domestic ones are wired, and I don't know if there are any wireless ones." "When they were cultivating in seclusion, wireless telegraphy was not made. Although Li Shucheng knew that there was such a thing as wireless telegraphy, he didn't know when it was made.

Money can make ghosts grind, and Li Shucheng quickly negotiated with Deguo & Co. about the purchase of a radio station. Although Germany was a defeated country, the country was about to be destroyed, and now it had to pay war reparations, but the small business of the two radio stations still did not want to be done.

Then Li Shucheng bought another 2,000 spears and four cannons, and the ammunition was five bases, and after the matter was successful, Li Shucheng would give the other party two extra small yellow croakers, which went well. The reason why everything went well was the tip of two small yellow croakers, he was just a clerk, and with these two small yellow croakers, he could make the family live better.

In addition to buying a radio station, Li Shucheng also bought a house in the weighty concession.

The reason why he bought a house in the concession was that the concession really wanted to be safer. Since this is a concession, the military law troops will not dare to come in, and outside the concession, it is the world of the warlord troops, and ordinary people don't want to have a good life. The second is that there are a lot of progressives gathered here.

For example, during this time, Jiang Mingyue liked to read "New Youth", and also sighed: "This is 'the journey of the great road, the world is for the public'! They have found the right road, if they really mobilize the workers and peasants, then the country will no longer be slaughtered by others!"

"It's a long-term thing. Li Shucheng said, "Although the workers and peasants are the vast majority, they are at the bottom, they can't read a single word, they can't read books and newspapers, and only the simple morality that has been handed down for thousands of years must be publicized face-to-face before their minds can be awakened." ”

"And, it's a matter of digging up the roots. Li Shucheng continued, "Those who are now in high positions and occupy a lot of wealth will just watch others take away their wealth? They must not immediately arrest and detain or even shoot them when they see something wrong? Two thousand years ago, Yang Zhu said, 'Pluck a hair to benefit the world, not to do it', not to mention that this is not to pluck a hair, but to pluck the hair." This is destined to be a difficult and long road, accompanied by countless hardships, containments, and sacrifices. ”

"Although it will be difficult and long, and there will be countless sacrifices, this is the right path and the only way for the country to rise quickly. Jiang Mingyue said.

"Then let's help them when we're in danger. Li Shucheng said.

As a rich man living in a big house, how could he not have guards? What do others look like? If there are guards, there must be cooks and cooks, and the master can't cook for them himself, right? In addition, someone has to do the laundry and cleaning the room and yard, right?

It's too easy to recruit people, there are so many warlords and tax apportionments, and there are too many poor people! Li Shucheng turned around at random, and he recruited a full man, and he also picked up two skinny skinny bones to ask for food and the children to come back.

"These two children met the master, it was really their creation!" a guard named Fang Yun sighed.

"Listen to you, have you read a book?" Li Shucheng said.

"Studied for two years. Fang Yun said, "Didn't you encounter a change of dynasty later! Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates! The pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and grain in the school have been robbed, and the school can't go on for a while, I went to Wudang as a Taoist priest for a few years, and when I became an adult, I came out to break through." ”

"Hey, you are still a Taoist priest in Wudang!" Li Shucheng said, "Then is the school where you study called Taihe School, which is at the foot of Wudang Mountain?"

"Yes. Why, master, do you also know about the Taihe Academy?" Fang Yun asked.

"Yes. Taihe School is the first school in Hubei to offer courses such as general knowledge, physics, and chemistry, and its reputation is not small. Is the school still running now?" Li Shucheng said. But I thought in my heart: I opened this school, how can I not know.

"It's still being done. Fang Yun said, "The Taoist temple on the mountain contributed money, the teachers of the school and the nearby village contributed, and the students who graduated from the school also sent money back after hearing the news, and the school was set up again." I didn't do well in school, but I liked to learn martial arts, so I stayed in the mountains. ”

"Then why did you come to Shanghai again?" Li Shucheng said, "Isn't it good to stay in the mountains?"

"It's okay to stay in the mountains, but I still want to come out and see it. Fang Yun said, "Besides, I have been eating and living in the temple for so many years, and I have also brought the school for two years, which is a lot of money." Now that I'm an adult, I shouldn't eat and drink for nothing anymore, of course I have to come out. In addition, I was thinking about making some money and sending it back. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Li Shucheng said, "Everyone thinks so, then the school will get better and better, and there will be more people who can help the Taoist temple on the mountain." ”

"When I heard that Shanghai was bustling, I was excited. Fang Yun said, "How do you know that you have come here, but it is difficult to find something to do." If I hadn't met you, I would have gone to the docks to carry sacks. ”

"Hehe, learning martial arts in this era is not much of a role except for self-defense. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "It's not like before, when there were no guns and cannons, and when you fought with a big blade, even if you can't get along and join the army, maybe you can still mix up with an official and a half-job." Now no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't escape with dozens of guns fired at you. ”

Therefore, after the disciples in the Taoist temple came out to travel, they would bring one or two guns back to the mountain. The school also learned its lesson and bought some guns for defense. Fang Yun said, "But it's still useful to learn martial arts, at least the body is better, and after being familiar with guns, you can dodge faster." If you also hold a gun, it will be more advantageous to fight. ”

"Of course. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be useless to learn martial arts?

"Wudang Long Fist. Fang Yun said.

"Wudang Changquan, this martial arts is good!" Li Shucheng said, "Now that the Shanghai Jingwu Sports Association is developing well, why don't you go there to be a teacher?"

"I can't be considered a teacher, how can I teach others martial arts? Moreover, Wudang Changquan is the inheritance of several Taoist temples in Wudang, and I can't pass it on without the permission of the Taoist temple. Fang Yun shook his head and said, "I've been there, although there are a few good skills in the Jingwu Sports Club, there are too many people, and many of them are actually not practicing martial arts, they are just looking for a backer." And most people can't work hard, so they learned a flower boxing and embroidered legs, and they ruined a good boxing method in vain. It's okay to keep fit, but it's revealing when you fight. ”

"You're biased. Li Shucheng said, "Since it is a sports meeting, it is naturally based on physical fitness." Besides, martial arts routines are practice, which are used to enhance physical fitness and coordination, and the Wudang Changquan you practice, the Lost Trace Boxing of the Jingwu Sports Association, Xingyi Boxing, and so on. And the style of fighting, although it is contained in the practice, but it has to go through battles and even life-and-death battles to refine the moves that suit you. Therefore, the strength of combat effectiveness is fought and killed! Those who have practiced martial arts for a few years think that they are very powerful, only to know that they have been taken to the ditch when they really fight! You have been practicing martial arts and long fists for many years, but now you are really fighting veterans who have fought several times on the battlefield, and you may not be able to fight. These people have rolled between life and death several times, and although their moves are not very good, they know how to kill their opponents in the shortest amount of time. ”
