Chapter 171: National Martial Arts Competition

In fact, the "abolition of two yuan for silver" has been in preparation since 1910, but it was not officially enacted until 1933.

In the end, the decisive measure was taken because the central government could not bear the sharp depreciation of silver, so it simply abolished the silver bars and silver ingots and replaced them with silver dollars, and a silver dollar contained less than one tael of silver, so that the government could breathe a sigh of relief.

And in a few years, even the silver dollar was abolished in favor of "fiat money", that is, paper money.

At most, Qin Di collects gold in his storage belt, and does not put too much heavy silver, although both are precious metals, but silver is far inferior to gold.

Subsequently, Qin Di arranged for his cousin Qin Keng to be the deputy general manager of the sugar store.

His first instruction to Qin Keng was to increase sugar reserves little by little from this year, purchase more and ship less!

Qin Keng didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so in order to get the benefits that Qin Di promised him, he could only act honestly according to the instructions.

And the next day, Qin Di attended the opening ceremony of another cousin, Qin Meng's "Western Clothing Shop".

Qin Meng is three years older than Qin Di, invested 2 million yuan, opened this clothing store, and hired more than a dozen masters and dozens of apprentices, which is relatively large.

After the ceremony, Qin Di touched the finished suit in the store and asked, "This material feels good, is it an imported foreign product?"

Qin Meng originally thought that Qin Hancheng would come, but he didn't expect that it was his cousin Qin Di who came, and he heard that this cousin was not doing his job, so he didn't take it to heart, and replied casually: "Yes, it's all made in the United States." ”

Qin Di asked, "How many fabrics do you have here?"

Qin Meng grinned and motioned to the person next to him to answer.

A master next to him said, "There are cashmere, flannel, tweed and linen." ”

"What's the price?"

The master introduced them one by one, and Qin Di nodded lightly.

Qin Meng looked at him with both eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing so carefully, do you want to do a fabric business?"

Qin Di said lightly: "I want to see if it can be produced in China." ”

"Ah, don't be kidding, such a high-end fabric can't be produced domestically!"

Qin Di was too lazy to say, chatted casually, and then said goodbye and left, and went to Wuyi Mountain to practice with Yan Xue.

The small world of Wuyi Mountain, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, is a good place for cultivation.

Wait until a month later, Yan Xue stepped into the seventh layer of Qi refining, and Qin Di stepped into the second layer of foundation building, and then returned to the Demon Capital.

At this time, it was December 12, 1933.

Yan Xue took out seven or eight grapefruits, each of which was more than ten catties, and put them on the dining table.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no one at home.

Yan Xue felt a little strange, and asked someone to ask, only to learn that Qin Yue was pregnant for ten months and was sent to the hospital for childbirth, and Zhu Wan and Qin Hancheng followed!

Yan Xue was taken aback and hurriedly told Qin Di.

When the two arrived at the hospital, they saw their families waiting anxiously outside the delivery room.

Not only Zhu Wan and Qin Hancheng are here, but Qin Ling is also here, as well as Wang Shu and his mother.

Wang Shu's father died early, and the old lady was widowed for half her life, seeing that she was going to have the next generation, she was very nervous, closed her eyes, and kept chanting "Amitabha".

Although Zhu Wan is a doctor and has saved many people in her life, at this time, she is also very worried in her heart, every few minutes, she draws a cross on her chest, and keeps praying in her mouth, asking for the blessing of her father.

Giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and God knows if there will be an accident!

Everyone waited for more than an hour before the doctor came out and said that "the birth went smoothly, and the mother and child were safe".

Wang Shu was at a loss with excitement, and his mother smiled from ear to ear.

Qin Hancheng laughed "haha": "I have two grandchildren!"

Zhu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, for her, as long as the adults and children are safe.

After a while, Qin Ling went in and took the child out.

When everyone saw it, they praised one after another: "Bai Bai is chubby, he is a blessed child." "The cry was loud and full of energy. "Eyes are clear, must be very smart......" "Congratulations to my mother......"

When Qin Di saw the little baby, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, it's another child without a spiritual root!"

This is also a very normal thing, because of the lack of spiritual energy, the way of heaven has become very mean, and children with spiritual roots are extremely scarce, even if they are cultivators, it is difficult to guarantee the qualifications of their children, not to mention that Qin Yue and Wang Shu belong to mortals, and it is difficult to give birth to children with spiritual roots.

Of course, mortals are not grassy people, and mortals can become great, and through the establishment of meritorious deeds, they will go down in history and achieve spiritual immortality.

But Qin Di, as a cultivator, pursues the immortality of the physical body and the primordial god, which is another level of immortality.

The next day, when he had nothing to do, he called Du Rong and Du Lan over and asked them about their cultivation.

Du Ronghong's face showed a somewhat nervous look, and she bowed to Qin Di first: "Sir, I'm sorry to you." Because we couldn't find where you were, and without your consent, we were forced by my uncle to participate in a 'national martial arts competition'. ”

Qin Di asked, "Is it true?" if you participate, you don't need to say I'm sorry." I have no limits on you. Where is the contest held?"

Duran replied: "On October 28, a national martial arts competition was held in Jinling, and Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government, and several representatives of the central government went. There are more than 2,000 referees and players nationwide. Zhang Zhijiang, the director of the Central Guoshu Museum, delivered an opening speech, saying that "strong enemies are pressing the border, and the national disaster is deep, so we should carry forward the spirit of national art to save the country......"

"What was the result?"

Du Rong said: "The competition is divided into six groups, and the outstanding ones are all northern boxers, including Xingyi, Chaquan, Shaolin, Split, Tongbei, Praying Mantis, etc. The results of Nanquan are not good, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, miserable...... My sister and I won the first prize in boxing, and in addition to the bonus of 200 yuan, we also gave us a letter of appointment, saying that it was the 'Women's Volunteer Army Specially Appointed Instructor', and we went to Nanjing to teach boxing for three months every year, and we didn't know whether we should go or not. ”

Qin Di said: "The War of Resistance to save the country, regardless of men and women, every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops. ”

Duran said: "Sir, my uncle wants us to go, saying that he will contribute to the country. ”

Qin Di said again: "You can go, but I have three requirements for you: First, only teach boxing and do not join the Qingbai Party; second, only kill devils and not kill Chinese! Third, quit before the age of 30 and return to the rivers and lakes from now on! You think about it carefully, go if you can do it, don't go if you can't do it!"

The two sisters looked at each other and said, "Sir, let's go back and talk to my uncle, and then reply to you." ”

Qin Di nodded: "Go ahead." ”

The two sisters are only registered disciples, and they can't be too strict with them.

Qin Di made these demands for their good, otherwise he would be too deeply involved in the Qingbai Party, and if he couldn't escape the law after liberation, he would not feel good.
