"Dear sages from all walks of life, we and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water. Japan has suffered unprecedented tragic disasters, which is what everyone wants to see. As a member of mankind, as a person with conscience and morality, I propose that we should do our best
We have the ability to donate to Japan and help the Japanese people get out of the disaster. Any half-hearted effort is a crime against humanity."
Qian Xuantong, a well-known linguist who advocated the abolition of Chinese characters and promoted Esperanto, loudly said: "Japan is a model for East Asian civilization, and it was Japan that relied on its own efforts to defeat the powerful Tsarist Russia and bring a glimmer of hope to Asia. We are no better than
Europeans and Americans are different, but as long as we follow Japan's example, we can still become strong. This encouragement is precious, and we should keep Japan's kindness in mind. Out of human conscience, I am willing to donate 5,100 yuan to help the Japanese people affected by the disaster.
I can feel the warmth from China.”
As he spoke, Qian Xuantong took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and slammed it on the table. Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was a little awe-inspiring. The government only donated 5,000 yuan. As a result, a scholar
I took out 5,100 yuan, and the recreational meaning was too obvious.
Some people are a little reluctant to give up and donate money to Japan to express goodwill. This is a good thing. After all, many people here have studied in Japan and have made many friends. It is also the right thing to do a favor at this time.
, but there is no need to offend the government for this.
At this time, scholars stood up one after another and donated more or less. In addition, some former political figures, old and young, and business celebrities also donated generously. Soon the amount of donations exceeded 100,000 yuan.
When I saw that everyone was paying money one after another, even those who felt a little uncomfortable couldn't sit still and donated money, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Qian Xuandong, the scholars who organized this event, all had a smile on their faces. This time, a major earthquake occurred in Japan with unprecedented losses. As a result, after the Chinese government donated 5,000 yuan, there was no further information. This made many people
Indignant, I just spent a little money to make the government lose a little face.
At this moment, a young student suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to the front of the donation box, took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, smiled and said to the presiding scholars: "Teachers, sir
.I don’t have much money, but I also want to show some love. These are the few words I wrote. If you can see it, I want to auction it on the spot. Do you like it?"
Qian Xuantong said with a slight smile on his face: "Of course, don't worry, if others don't buy it, I will buy it too."
"Thank you sir."
As he said this, the student suddenly unfolded the rice paper. When everyone saw it, the whole place was in an uproar. They saw two big words written in vermilion in the middle of the paper: Shameless!
The big blood-red characters and the piercing eyes made everyone exclaim. When Qian Xuantong saw it, his face turned pale. He pointed at the student and asked loudly: "What do you mean?"
"Hmph, I don't know what kind of kindness Japan has towards China. There is only blood feud, blood feud! The soldiers of the Beiyang Navy are watching in the sky, the elders of the three northeastern provinces are still there, and the two bandits of Japan and Russia are biting dogs on Chinese soil. What's the matter?
What is worthy of praise? What made China stand up and make China see hope was the sending of troops to the Far East, the bloody battle on the Korean Peninsula, the fight against the British Empire's Far East Fleet, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, bloody battlefields. You don't know how to thank, but instead give it to those executioners.
Donate, it’s a laugh, it’s so shameless!”
"A major earthquake is a natural disaster and a disaster for mankind. Our donation is purely in the spirit of humanitarianism. You are confusing the public and being unreasonable!" Several scholars said angrily.
"Humanitarianism sounds so good. Those innocent souls in Lushunkou and the heroic spirits of the Beiyang Fleet, who talked to them about humanism?"
"You are deliberately causing trouble, get out of here!" Qian Xuantong said loudly. Several people rushed up and without any explanation, pulled the student out and pushed him until he was outside the door.
Just as they were making a fuss, they suddenly heard the loud voice of the newsboy outside: "Extra number, extra number! HSBC has received a large number of holiday dollars. Financial turmoil, depreciation of the yen!"
The few scholars inside couldn't hear what they were shouting, but all the businessmen near the door heard it. Two people jumped up and rushed outside, grabbing the newspaper from the newsboy's hand.
After just two glances, I felt like I was going crazy and ran home. A fat man in his forties or fifties could run faster than a rabbit. Others also grabbed the newspaper and took a few glances at it.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The newspaper reported that two Japanese yen with the same serial number were found at the Tianjin branch of HSBC Bank, and one of them was obviously a counterfeit. The bank hurriedly called in experts and carefully identified the two Japanese yen, and found that the two Japanese yen were exactly the same and could not be distinguished at all.
This suddenly frightened the people at the bank. They had a lot of Japanese yen deposits on hand, so they checked overnight and found a large amount of holiday yen. It was a serious matter, so they reported it immediately. As a result, some companies headquartered in Europe
Holiday dollars have also been found in banks, and the amount is very large, with millions of dollars already found.
There are probably dozens of times as many counterfeit coins that have not been discovered. It is also an unprecedented case of counterfeit money in the history of banking. Banks around the world were immediately shaken. More and more counterfeit coins were discovered, and everyone was trapped.
In horror.
Some banks in China also discovered a large number of counterfeit currencies, and the credit of the Japanese yen in the world was dealt a fatal blow in an instant. Compared with the Great Kanto Earthquake, this news attracted more attention from all countries. After all, the Japanese yen issue is closely related to everyone.
Benefit.
Most of the people who came to donate to Japan have contacts with Japan and have a certain amount of yen hidden at home. In their view, Japan is still a powerful country and the yen is still trustworthy. But after seeing this news,
They were all dumbfounded. With such a big problem, even if the yen at home was real, it would shrink significantly.
Therefore, everyone cried for their parents and no longer wanted to donate money to Japan. Everyone scolded Japan for being shameless and cheating people with fake bills. Humanism and cosmopolitanism all became useless in the face of real interests.
Nonsense.
A good fund-raising effort turned out to be an anticlimax. The scholars who hosted the event were dumbfounded when they heard that their works had also been published in Japan. They were all counting the yen happily, but one day
Looking at the reports in front of me, this group of people was struck like a bolt from the blue.
These little devils are really nothing. Why should you donate money to them? Everyone screamed and dispersed. Qian Xuantong was also extremely embarrassed. The 5,100 yuan he donated was all in Japanese yen. Maybe there were fake ones too. This guy was so stupid.
Sitting on the ground.
…
Henan, Luoyang.
Tang Wansan was a famous rich man in Henan. Compared with Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, his family had more fertile land and richer wealth. When Wu Peifu was engaged in land reform, Tang Wansan ran to Shanghai as soon as he saw that there was nothing he could do.
After Wu Peifu was driven away, he swaggered back to Henan and wanted to get back the land. However, he also heard that the new chief did not return the land directly, but wanted to continue to leave it to those mud-legged people. He immediately Angry, Wu Peifu had an army of hundreds of thousands, and he didn't dare to offend him, but the new official was nothing!
He immediately summoned all his former thugs and a large number of local gangsters. He gathered more than 300 people and wanted to take back the land. They rushed towards Liujiawan with great momentum.
As they got closer and closer, a few thugs with keen eyes spotted a few half-grown children standing guard running towards the village. They even laughed loudly and said: "Little bastard, go home and tell your mother that the uncle is here again." , just wait for us honestly!"
As he said that, everyone else burst into laughter. Tang Wansan was at the forefront and was even more proud. But just as they rushed to the entrance of the village, a group of farmers with hoes and shovels suddenly rushed out and took Tang Wansan's steps. Wan San was blocked.
Tang Wansan looked at the leading old farmer and couldn't help laughing: "Old Liutou, our two families have a relationship that lasts from son to father. My father cut off two of your fingers to pay off the debt. What do you think? How many more do you want me to chop you off this time? Hahaha!"
"I will fight with you and chop off the dog's head to save the villagers from suffering anymore!"
Old man Liu held the shovel and was about to rush over. Several young and strong boys around him were angry and wanted to rush over. At this time, Tang Wansan suddenly escaped with a Mauser pistol, shook his head in his hand, and sneered. : "Did you see that Mr. Tang has a smoking thing? If you are not afraid of death, come here!"
Just when Tang Wansan was shouting loudly and unscrupulously, there was a sudden gunshot, and his wrist was immediately penetrated. The arrogant guy screamed and dropped the pistol to the ground.
There was a burst of neat footsteps from the village, and more than twenty soldiers with live ammunition rushed out. They also brought two light machine guns, and the black muzzles were all aimed at Tang Wansan and others. Chu Mingyuan also walked out of the village and looked at the thugs and gangsters coldly.
"You all listen to me. I am a counselor from the Henan Provincial Office and I am conducting an inspection. You all surrender and you will be punished after hearing this, or you will be shot immediately."
No matter how many bandits there were, they were no match for the regular army. These guys could only hand over their swords and guns and squat on the ground.
Old man Liu suddenly grabbed Chu Mingyuan's hand, and two turbid old tears fell from his eyes: "Sir, you are a good person, but you must leave us a way to survive. This land must not be taken away again! "
The common people in Liujiawan suddenly knelt down and said, "Sir, have mercy on us."
Facing these people, Chu Mingyuan really didn't dare to let them down. He returned to the provincial capital the next day, and Yan Xishan also came back early. As soon as they met, Yan Laoxi said with a smile: "Chu Mingyuan Senator, the Vice President has allocated 30 million in start-up funds. With the money, things will be easier to do."
