Chapter 51 A revolution is a dinner party

The God of Wealth finally showed up, and rushed here.Since then, the spring of revolutionary comrades has come. The God of Wealth is a very young man, Liu Gong, also known as Liu Yaobin and Liu Zhongwen. Liu Gong can't understand Sun Wu's helplessness in a small hotel in a foreign country, and he can't think about President Jiang's theory of wealth and poverty. They are people from two worlds. What will happen when these three men get together? Sun Wuhui said enviously: "You never have to worry about money." President Jiang would say with emotion: "The theory of the rich and the poor is just a legend to you."

Liu Gong's face was full of excitement: "Brother is short of everything, but not short of money." Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Liu Gong, Sun Wu, and President Jiang would not have any intersection at all, and he did not need to know them at all. Revolution, to Liu Gong, is just a distant legend. However, the three of them met each other, and Liu Gongfei wanted to find this legend and turn it into his own legend. Let's start with Mr. Liu's father. Mr. Liu's father, Liu Zijing, known as Liu Wanwan, was born in a wealthy family. The Liu family is one of the three rich families in Xiangyang, with four houses totaling more than 13,000 mu of land.

The Liu's manor is surrounded by two-foot-high stone-footed brick walls, and hopeful towers are built at the four corners.Inside the wall, there are four horoscope gate towers side by side, with whitewashed walls and vermilion eaves, facing the meandering street.There is a large weir pond in front of the gate of the villa, where thousands of goldfish are raised; there is a gazebo on the bank of the weir pond, a long embankment for several miles, and weeping willows are planted all over the place. How deep is the courtyard, and Liu Gong lives in it. Liu Zijing is a martial artist, and he likes to recruit and make friends with martial arts masters and entertainers.Liu Gong has been deeply influenced since he was a child. He has a bold personality and likes to dance with guns and clubs.I like to read "Water Margin" the most, and I admire Jiuzhilong Shijin the most.

The Liu family lacks nothing but one thing: Guangzong Yaozu.Of course, a lot of money can also be done, such as building ancestral halls, continuing family trees, worshiping ancestors, spending a lot of money, and not hesitating. But if you want everyone to admit it, and truly admit it from the bottom of your heart, you have to take the imperial examination, a Jinshi, preferably Hanlin, a student of the Son of Heaven.No amount of money can buy it, it is the glory of eight or eighteen generations of ancestors. This burden has historically fallen on Liu Gong.Liu Gong was very unhappy, because he didn't like this at all.

You have no right to choose this, it is not a question of whether you are good or not, the key is that Liu Zijing likes this.It is the ultimate dream of all Chinese fathers to hope that their son will become a dragon and honor their ancestors. Liu Gong finally compromised, but made a request, read the books of sages, travel the world, and want to travel outside first. In March of Yangchun in 1901, the sky was full of peach blossoms.Liu Gong took the book boy and a lot of bank notes, all the way north.First went to Luoyang, the ancient capital, and visited the Longmen Grottoes and Baima Temple.Then I came to Xi'an, and half a year later, I traveled southwest through Baoji to Chengdu. Here, I met a young student named Zou Rong who had a great influence on my life.The two often drank and ate, talking about revolutionary ideals.Of course, Mr. Liu paid for everything.Not long after, Liu Gong went down again by boat and arrived in the three towns of Wuhan, where he made friends with the new army. Everyone was still talking about revolutionary ambitions while eating out.

The outside world is not helpless, the outside world is really exciting, Liu Gong began to have ideas. After returning home, Mr. Liu told his father that the imperial examinations had been abolished, and he had to study abroad if he wanted to gain fame.Liu Zijing was not very willing, this kid seemed ambitious, if he stayed outside and didn't come back, he would be in trouble.Liu Gong's cousin is an overseas student and said many good things, so Liu Zijing let the money go. When he arrived in Japan, Liu Gong was like a runaway wild horse, only reading books beside his pillow. "Menghui", "The Alarm Clock", and "Revolutionary Army" are his favorites, and he occasionally reads "Water Margin", but he doesn't read the textbook.Of course, neither will the exam.Fortunately, the purpose of this visit is to investigate and study tours, with investigation as the main focus and learning as the second.

Besides reading pillow books, Mr. Liu's biggest hobby is spending money. Money is sought after everywhere. Men need it to save face, women need it to satisfy their vanity, and revolutions need it to raise funds. Mr. Liu invited his students to restaurants almost every day, eating Japanese food, sushi, and pollution-free, natural and original green vegetables.Everyone was always blushing about the future of the revolution. At this time, Liu Gong would always say softly: "Let's go to the restaurant and argue while eating." An understatement resolved countless disputes and unhappiness; many people moved the disputes to Mr. Liu's dormitory, and created countless "false disputes" without any disputes, just to wait for Mr. Liu's words.

The greatest contribution Liu Gong made to the revolution was to treat guests to dinner. Hungry, hungry, bad food, hurry to find Mr. Liu, this has become the most commonly used phrase among the majority of overseas students. Maybe you will dismiss this, because a great man once warned us: revolution is not a dinner party.But I also tell you that to make revolution, you must first fill your stomach. Seeing that he would not be able to graduate on time, Mr. Liu simply abandoned his education and joined the military, became a soldier with iron blood, and applied for the non-commissioned officer school.However, after a physical examination, there was nothing to be done, and he was deeply myopic, so he was not suitable for military service.

Mr. Liu was puzzled. The three generations of ancestors were not short-sighted. How could my genes mutate? Everyone was puzzled, and they said it was reading. Liu Gong was never a good student who studied hard. Most of the exam subjects were red lights. Every bit of his time was spent on eating, drinking, and donating money.Does alcohol induce retinal hyperemia?But I only heard of stomach bleeding after drinking too much alcohol. After much deliberation, Liu Gong finally found out the correct answer.It's all caused by pillow books. Pillow books, as the name suggests, are meant to be read lying on the bed, lying on the bed, or even hiding under the covers. It is convenient to hold and read, but the eyes are no longer there. convenient.

Then transfer schools, Liu Gong entered Meiji University to specialize in political economics, of course he was an unplanned self-financed student.He picked up the nickname, Feifeizi, could it be that he changed his past and stopped eating and drinking? Although the book is not very good, Liu Gong is still a man of the hour among the overseas students, and has also become a sought-after item in various revolutionary groups, because if you find Liu Gong, you will find a cornucopia. The Gongjin Association preemptively recruited Liu Gong into the association, and the conditions were very favorable.Here, you are the boss, the president of the Gongjin Association; in your hometown of Hubei, you are still the boss, the governor of Hubei who will succeed in the revolution in the future.Mr. Liu doesn't care much about being the boss or not.But the love to listen to these words shows that comrades still fully trust me as a person and fully affirm my ability.

It seems that it is difficult to get a diploma at Meiji University, and Mr. Liu is going back to China.If you can't honor your ancestors in the imperial examination, then let your ancestors feel proud in the revolution. Carrying a bulging suitcase, a history-changing suitcase, which contains the future iron-blooded eighteen-star flag, revolutionary plan, and personnel roster, Mr. Liu embarked on a journey to change history. The first thing Liu Gong said when he got home was "I have finished reading the book, I want to honor my ancestors". Liu Zijing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, "My good son, Dad has been waiting for you for almost twenty years." But money must be spent wisely, Liu Zijing was the first to ask: "How do you plan to honor your ancestors?" Liu Gong did not hesitate to think: "The imperial court gives special preferential treatment to overseas students. Returning to the country after graduation is equivalent to raising a person or a Jinshi. Now that the status and conditions are met, it is only one step away. Use money to donate to officials." "How to move?" Liu Zijing started the second question. "I know the military attache of Japan stationed in China. He is very happy in Beijing. He said that there is a real shortage of Daotai in Henan. As long as you donate money, you can take office immediately." Liu Zijing asked for the third time, "How much silver will it cost?" "About seven thousand taels." Liu Gongshi opened his mouth. Liu Zijing shook his head after hearing this: "Seven thousand taels, you think it's too little for a dinner, so you have to double it, at least 20,000 taels." When Mr. Liu heard it, he was excited at first, then ashamed and sad, and said silently in his heart: Father, you are so kind!For a long time, you have always loved and cared about me so much.But me, I can't read well, I can't be a soldier, and I spend money in restaurants all day long.But what my son is doing now is an astonishingly great cause, and it will definitely succeed. Not only will it leave a name in history, but it will also allow you to leave your name in the footnotes of history. Liu Zijing and the fourth house of the Liu family have a joint discussion, honoring the ancestors, everyone has a share, you contribute money, I contribute, the whole family goes forward together!Five thousand taels per room.The fourth uncle, Liu Zilin, is a doctor of the Du branch (director of the Ministry of Finance). He is very optimistic about Liu Gong, and first took 5,000 taels to Liu Gong. Liu Gong came, and came to Wuhan with five thousand taels of silver in his pocket.I rented a mansion, pasted a red note of "Duzhibu Liu" on the gate, and looked after it, this is the official mansion of the imperial court, and the idlers should not intrude. The God of Wealth is finally here. You know how much the revolutionary comrades look forward to your arrival, the banknotes in your arms, your generous words, and eating out with you to talk about revolution!Everyone rushed to tell each other, and the three towns of Wuhan fell into a boil. After the boiling, the comrades of the revolutionary party looked at Mr. Liu's apartment from afar, and stretched out their hands in a hug with infinite affection, "Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes"! If you want to get it, you can get a big red envelope at one time. The revolutionary Peng Chufan and others counted together. Although Liu Gong is a revolutionary comrade, if you ask him to donate so much money, he must be tempted. What can make a man's heart beat?woman. What can make a man be cruel to himself and spend a lot of money?Still a woman. Peng Chufan introduced a young and beautiful female revolutionary who was studying in school to approach Liu Gong.We are all young and have read a lot of banned books, and soon we are in a state of passionate love. But Mr. Liu is not easy to fool. It is okay to fall in love, but it is no problem to ask for a small amount of money; it is impossible to spend a lot of money. Want to embrace a beautiful woman without paying a lot of money?This is not acceptable. Peng Chufan thought of a way. He found Liu Gong and said straight to the point: "The revolution needs money urgently. You are the president of the Gongjin Association, but you donate money to officials. It's too chilling. Now I give you two choices, either take the money Come out, everyone is still a good comrade, and I will not interfere with your free love; or if you don’t take money, I will report you to the government and accuse you of having a good wife in your family, but abducting an underage girl outside.” After speaking, Peng Chufan smiled and waited for Liu Gong's surrender. Mr. Liu was stunned. Money is money again. Could it be that only money can solve all problems?I didn't expect the revolutionary comrades to say such unfeeling words. Where did the brotherhood of going to the restaurant go?For the sake of money, can even Bo Yuntian's brotherhood of righteousness be abandoned?Bad money is a tragedy; not bad money is even more tragic. Liu Gong walked slowly towards Peng Chufan, he wanted to say a word, just say one word. Mr. Liu said flatly: "Brother, you don't need to do this. The bank note is with me. Take it." Peng Chufan wept. It was tears of joy, and the money finally came to an end. Tears of emotion, big brother, pure man. Tears of shame, I have defiled the pure friendship between revolutionary comrades. Beauty tricks, tricks to get you, go to hell; thirty-six tricks, sincerity is the best policy. After a while, he finally said a word: "Brother, you know me well, and you like to joke around." As soon as they said it, Liu Gong and Peng Chufan went to the Hankou Shanxi ticket shop together, exchanged 7,000 silver dollars, and took the exchange slip to deposit at the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank in the concession. Revolutionary patriots, why go to foreign banks and let them make money? Foreign banks are not under the jurisdiction of the Qing government, and they are regulated, never disclosing customer privacy. However, I encountered trouble in withdrawing money here. The bank did not trust the banknotes issued by the Chinese ticket dealers, and had to trade in cash.I had no choice but to go back to the ticket shop again, and hired a few porters to pick up seven thousand silver dollars one by one to the bank, and completed the deposit procedures. After working all afternoon, Peng Chufan felt sorry, so he decided to leave two thousand yuan as Liu Gong's living expenses.Liu Gong still said indifferently, "Go to the restaurant and chat while eating." The money, the money to save lives, the money to save the revolution and save lives is finally available.This money played an incalculable role and influence on the revolution. Comrades used it to rent houses, open restaurants, open grocery stores, buy arms, and eat and drink. Without it, everything would be just a legend. I would like to thank Mr. Liu Zijing again, no matter what your motives are, without your generous generosity, the revolution would be much more difficult.At the same time, I would like to extend my sincere apologies to you on behalf of Mr. Liu.He lied, and the revolutionary comrades joined him in concealing the truth.But please believe that this is a last resort for the revolution. This is a white lie, and you who are enlightened and understanding will definitely understand and forgive.And in the end we did not break our promise, the ultimate dream of the Liu family - Guangzong Yaozu has been achieved.In fact, the moment you took out the money, you and your family have been left in the depths of history forever. Jiang Yiwu came, Sun Wu came, and together with Liu Gong, the three men stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, holding a passbook from the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, and they were about to create a miracle of revolution on the big stage of the three towns of Wuhan. When the good luck of the revolution arrived, so did Zaifeng's bad luck.
