Chapter 37 Deafening
No one expected that Yi Zhizu would ask such a simple question as soon as he opened his mouth. Someone said: "The provincial capital, the provincial capital of Guangdong."
"One-door trading port."
"Qing Foreign Trade Center."
"A major military town in the southeast."
"Everything is right, but not the most appropriate one." Yi Zhizu glanced at everyone and said, "For the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou is a window, the only window for the Qing Dynasty to understand the world. The Shangshang and its children, that is, the people here, are the most active people in this window. Have you ever thought about showing the world outside the window truthfully, thoroughly, and comprehensive record feedback to the officials, gentry, merchants and the people of the Qing Dynasty?"
Speaking of this, he smiled and continued: "There is no doubt that the influence of publishing newspapers from several southeastern provinces is very great. I once described it as a fame and fortune workshop. Everyone comes for newspapers and is also a fame and fortune. The lifelong pursuit of scholars is greater than the three immortals - establishing virtue and making merits and sayings, and establishing virtue. I dare not speak irresponsiblely, but making merits and making words. Everyone here has a great opportunity!"
As soon as the words were finished, the scholars immediately started to talk, who would not want to make meritorious and famous throughout the ages? To establish virtue and make meritorious and make words, these "three immortals" can be said to be the pursuit of the supremacy of literati throughout the world throughout the ages. Yi Zhizu actually said bluntly that they had the opportunity to make words, and they were both curious and excited. Of course, they still couldn't believe it.
Ma Yinglong said loudly: "We are just students, without officials or titles, without names or hopelessness. How can we achieve great achievements that will last forever? How dare we hope to make a book and make a statement of one's own words?"
Pan Shiming also looked puzzled. He really couldn't figure out what Yi Jingzu meant? Could it be that it had something to do with newspapers? Can newspapers make people famous overnight and make people make contributions? Are they too simple to think?
Yi Jingzu took out a cigar as if no one was around, drilled the holes in the skillful cuts and slowly let out a mouthful of smoke. He said loudly: "Everyone, a major change that has not been seen in three thousand years is about to begin. It is your luck to be at the juncture of this era.
The so-called major change that has not been seen in three thousand years is actually a big collision! The East-West collided with the East and the West, and the East-West political, economic, military, cultural and ideological collision. The result is either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind!
The process of a great collision is also a process of great integration. The court, the officials, gentry, and the people will be extremely eager to fully understand and learn from the Western politics, economy, military culture, science and technology, etc. This is the opportunity for you to make contributions!
I hope you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and according to their own preferences, concentrate on studying and comprehensively researching and translating systems, models, works, and achievements in various fields of the West. On this basis, integrate Chinese and Western cultures, innovate, and then use the newspaper platform to promote your research achievements and achievements! In this way, you can make contributions and make promises!"
After Yi Zhizu finished speaking, it was still quiet. Everyone looked at Yi Zhizu with a strange look. What major changes have not been seen in three thousand years? What big collision between the East and the West is unheard of. Another thing, can you make contributions by studying Westerners? What a joke?
After a while, someone asked, "Where did this start with a major change that has not been seen in three thousand years?"
Yi Zhizu held a cigar and smiled and said, "When you see a leaf falling, you will know that the year is about to end, and when you see the ice in the bottle, you will know that the coldness of the world..."
Wu Changqing was afraid that Yi Jing would be content to tell the story of Qingying's upcoming war. This matter was closed and told privately, but it was fine, but publicly said that it would cause trouble for no reason and spread to the government. A crime of confusing the public could not be eliminated.
He quickly stood up and said, "Brother Zhizu has a unique vision and meticulous mind. He knows the details. I have experienced it several times. There is a major change that has not been seen in three thousand years. Whether you believe it or not, you don't need to ask in detail. You should not publicize it to avoid causing trouble."
Wu Changqing is quite popular among the merchants. One reason is that the Wu family is very detached in the Thirteenth Frontiers. Besides, he is also easy to communicate with and has many friends. Although he has not said this explicitly, the meaning of Yishisu is very obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone whispered and started talking.
Seeing this situation, Pan Shiming had already guessed that the conversation between Yi Zhizu and Wu Bingjian must have given a detailed explanation of the major changes that have not been seen in three thousand years. Building Xinyixue and opening a money shop are probably all related to this.
Yan Shikuan came up and whispered: "Third Brother, do you know eight hundred years ago and five hundred years later? Why don't you calculate it for me?"
"Go aside." Yi Zhizu laughed and cursed, thinking, I dare not say it later, but I still know it for 500 years, and I am afraid that you will not believe it.
Wu Changqing sat down and said softly: "Brother Zhizu, why bother to tell them all this?"
Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Our newspapers should open up the situation through a series of reports on the West. Without some in-depth articles, it is indeed a shortcut to make contributions. Our priority is not to take care of the children of businessmen."
His words are not false. Wei Yuan wrote "Haiguo Tuzhi" to propose the view that he learned from the strengths of the barbarians and was able to leave his name in history. He did not say that he made great contributions, and making words was considered a good idea.
After hearing this, Pan Shiming couldn't help but say, "The major change that has not been seen in three thousand years is not a gimmick, right?"
"No." Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "This is a real deafening and shocking statement. You are in the situation and cannot be solved."
Although he knew it was inappropriate, Pan Shiming was still itchy and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"No." Yi Zhizu pretended to be profound: "You can only understand it, not express it." Now that the Raven War has not yet broken out, Guangzhou is still a scene of singing and dancing rising to peace. Even if he tells it truthfully, no one believes it, right? Therefore, what he said before is quite vague.
Wu Changqing was also afraid that everyone would ask questions, so he hurriedly said, "Let's do the serious business first."
"What I said is." Yi Zhizu stood up and patted him lightly. When everyone looked over, he smiled and said with a smile: "There is a full entrusted brother Zecheng for the preparation of newspapers. You have to invest in the shares. If you have good suggestions, someone recommends or intends to assist in the newspaper, you will contact Brother Zecheng directly. There is one more thing..."
After a slight pause, he continued: "In order to improve the current situation of chaos in the market, which is not conducive to bulk transactions, to support foreign trade commodity workshops, foreign trade, and to improve the shortage of money in the market and difficult turnover, Changqing and I are preparing to open a money shop.
Considering the current situation of Thirteen Banks, Pinghu Gong does not allow this money house to be opened in the name of Thirteen Banks, so the money house cannot invest in the name of various commercial banks, but can only invest in the name of juniors who do not manage business in various commercial banks.
