Chapter 7 Li Changgeng is a second-hand who goes against the trend
Li Changgeng was asked by Cai E who would win the European War. Li Changgeng didn't want to be a prophet and smiled: "The European War has won this score, and there is no winner anymore, there will be only one winner! The biggest winners of this war are actually the United States and Japan."
"This is the first time I have heard Mr. Li's words, so why not say them carefully." Cai E looked sincere.
"The main reason for this European war is that the Second Industrial Revolution made the United States and Germany surpassed the old-fashioned powers Britain and France in terms of national strength. There were no strong enemies around the United States and they robbed Spanish colonies, so naturally there was no need to start a war. But Germany is different. Germany is surrounded by old-fashioned and strong, so they had to rely on the war to fight for a hard time.
War wealth is the best. Now that the United States has developed industry, Europe needs it, whether it is food, industrial products or all kinds of arms, the United States can provide it. Moreover, the United States is a neutral brand and provides war materials to both sides at the same time. This is to make the European war fight longer until the last drop of blood is shed. Japan is just a soy product, taking advantage of the Allies and storing some materials."
"A few days ago, President Duan made a suggestion to the President, wanting to let China join the Allied Powers. What does Brother Li think about this?"
"What's good about this? Do it if there is any benefit, and don't do it if there is no benefit. If Britain and France can hand over the tariff rights to China, they will be exempted from the Boxer Indemnity and ask Japan to return Shandong to China. It would be even better if the concession could be cancelled. If there is nothing, we can watch Europe bleeding with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Cai E nodded, "Brother Li said that E has never thought about it."
"General Cai is a soldier. What the soldier thinks about is how to defeat his opponent. It makes no sense to think too much about other things. Although war is a continuation of politics, I think it is better for soldiers to be pure, otherwise the people will suffer. At present, the biggest shortcoming of Chinese soldiers is that they think too much about politics."
"Mr. Li's point of view, Cai does not agree with it. As you said, war is a continuation of politics. Sun Tzu said that war is a major event for the country. If a soldier does not have a correct political mind, he can only be a group of butchers, or a tool in the hands of some people."
"I think it's enough for soldiers to remember four words, to defend their country. As for political acumen, it's all nonsense. Military interfering in politics can only create a militarism. General Cai's visit to Japan abroad will not be unable to see that Japan's political system is clearly constitutional monarchy, but in fact it is militarism. Japanese small states will not have warlord separatism, but now the local lords of the Republic of China are weak and strong, and the land is strong and the land is rich and wealthy. There are many soldiers interfering in politics. They can only be like Tang Wei, with many warlords standing in the country, and the people are living in poverty."
After a coughing, Cai E said seriously: "But now someone wants to be the emperor, can't we sit down and watch?"
Li Changgeng smiled calmly, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the constitutional government of the king. The constitution of democracy and freedom is just that. The responsibility of a country is to allow people to have enough food and wear warm clothes. The most important thing is to live with dignity. In short, it is also four words: the country is strong and the people are rich.
As for the revolutionary theory of the revolutionary party, it is purely a fool, and it has not yet figured out what the purpose of the revolution is. Sun brags about building a 200,000-kilometer railway in the Republic of China. Haha, I can only say that he doesn't even know how to build a railway, it's just a big stick. Seventy percent of the terrain in China is mountainous. He thought like the United States, he was built on the Great Plain Railway as he wanted. Just such a bragging person can do anything good for the people." Li Changgeng said loudly with an angry expression when he complained to his roommate in college.
Seeing the two of them having a fierce debate, Xiao Fengxian mediated: "You two come to me, let's only talk about how Fengyue is."
"Haha, Brother Cai, listen to the beauty, Li has lost his composure." Li Changgeng took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Cai E had a thoughtful expression. After a while, he smiled and said, "Cai is in the face, making Brother Li laugh."
"Everyone has different outlook on life and values. If you stick to your own cognition, how can you say that you can laugh at me? However, it is extremely rare to be able to debate with a person like Brother Cai."
"Hahaha, Brother Li's words have also benefited a lot. Brother Li is engaged in industry. Cai sincerely invites Brother Li to Yunnan to take a look and develop industry."
"Okay, Yunnan scenery, Li yearns for a long time, so he will definitely go and see it. As for investing in industry, the southwest is a big market. As a businessman, how could he give up?" Li Changgeng smiled.
At this time, the madam brought the prepared wine and dishes, and Xiao Fengxian poured the two of them full of wine and said, "How about we make a drink?"
After hearing this, Li Changgeng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I really don't know how to drink this wine. A few days ago, I met a group of friends. I wanted to bully them without education, but I was bullied to death by them. Let's do this, I will sing the song I once wrote."
Cai E smiled and said, "Brother Li is born abroad, but he doesn't know how to drink, so sing it quickly."
“This song is called Chrysanthemum Table—
Your tears are weak and hurt, the pale moon is curved and firmly held the past, the night is too long and condensed into frost, who is in the attic cold despair, the rain sighs gently in the vermilion window, I am on the paper and the wind is blown away, the dream turns into a wisp of fragrance in the distance, drifting away with the wind, your appearance, the chrysanthemums are burning brightly, your smile has turned yellow, the flowers fall and people are heartbroken, my heart is lying quietly, and the wind is shaking slightly, your shadow cannot be cut, leaving me alone on the lake and sad.
The flowers are wounded and fallen brightly. The withered market is incredible. The heart is broken. He can no longer love and shake his heart. Whose country and horse hooves are fluttering. My military uniform is so bright. You sigh softly. The melancholy night is so melancholy. The chrysanthemums burn with brightness. Your smile has turned yellow. The flowers fall with heartbreak. My heartbreak is swaying and shaking. Your shadow cannot be cut. Only I am lonely on the lake. The chrysanthemums burn with brightness. Your smile has turned yellow on the lake. The flowers fall with heartbreak. Your shadow cannot be cut. Only I am lonely on the lake. Your smile has turned yellow on the flowers fall with heartbreak. Your heartbreak is swaying and shaking. Your shadow cannot be cut. Only I am lonely on the lake.
Li Changgeng pretended to sing a song at the chrysanthemums on the windowsill. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Fengxian had cried into tears, and Cai E's eyes were red. This song was really suitable. Cai E was about to go back to Yunnan, and he sang a parting of life and death for others, and he deliberately filled in the gaps.
After thinking it through, Li Changgeng pretended to be confused and said, "This song is a bit sad, but you don't need to cooperate like this."
After hearing what Li Changgeng said, Xiao Fengxian burst into tears and laughed: "Is there anyone who persuades people like this? I'll punish you to tell a joke."
Cai E also smiled and said, "It should be punished."
"Is it a joke? I heard that a doctor had cured a person and was tied up by this family and was ready to send him to the government. At night, the doctor broke free from the ropes and swam across the river to escape home. Seeing that his son was studying medical books, he hurriedly said, "Son, can you slow down your studies? It is more important to learn to swim first."
"Haha, traditional Chinese medicine is really unscientific!" Cai E smiled.
Li Changgeng was very angry after hearing this, "People who say that traditional Chinese medicine is unscientific are either unscrupulous or unscientific."
"Oh, Brother Li's words are so extreme."
"I don't think it's too extreme. Hegel said that existence is reasonable. Traditional Chinese medicine has been verified by history for more than 2,000 years. At that time, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic had a very systematic philosophical and theoretical basis. On this basis, there have been a large number of medical works in all dynasties, summarizing the treatment methods and knowledge of Chinese medicine for a large number of diseases. It has made traditional Chinese medicine a very systematic comprehensive discipline, several hundred years ahead of the West.
We Chinese have been enjoying the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine for generations, so that China has not seen an era of plague rampant like Europe when it is so densely populated. But now there are those people who are good in the West, threatening that traditional Chinese medicine is unscientific, and they are not just a fool of themselves. If you have the ability, let them talk to me about Western medicine and distinguish science from me. Sooner or later, such people will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history."
Listening to Li Changgeng’s argument loudly, Cai E and Xiao Feng Xianren were both stupid. This guy is really a top-notch guy. He was like a hawker in the market. Moreover, the abolition of the Chinese medicine case is proposed by Chief Wang Jiaohuang, and the whole country is enthusiastically supported. This guy is against the trend!
