Chapter 746: Millennium Upheaval (Part 2)

"All the wise men of all walks of life, we are neighbors with Japan, and Japan has suffered unprecedented tragic disasters, which is something that anyone is willing to see. As a member of mankind and a person with conscience and morality, I suggest that we should do our best to donate money to Japan and help the Japanese people get out of the dilemma of disaster. Any perfunctory things are a crime against mankind."

Qian Xuantong, a famous linguist who advocates the abolition of Chinese characters and promotes Esperanto, shouted loudly: "Japan is the example of East Asian civilization. It is also Japan who defeated the powerful Tsarist Russia through its own efforts, which brought a glimmer of hope to Asia. We are no worse than Europeans and Americans. As long as we imitate Japan, we can still become stronger. This encouragement is precious, and we should remember Japan's kindness in our hearts. Out of human conscience, I am willing to donate 5,100 yuan to allow the affected Japanese people to feel the warmth from China."

As he spoke, Qian Xuantong took out a pile of thick banknotes from his arms and smashed them heavily on the table. Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was a little awesome. The government only donated 5,000 yuan, but a scholar took out 5,100 yuan. The pastime meaning was too obvious.

Some people gave in their hearts and donated money to Japan and expressed their kindness. This is a good thing. After all, many people present had studied in Japan and met many friends. It is a good thing to do a favor at this time, but it is not necessary to offend the government for this.

At this time, scholars stood up one after another and donated some more or less. In addition, some former political legacy and business celebrities all donated generously, and soon the donation amount exceeded 100,000 yuan.

When everyone saw that they were paying for money, the people who felt a little awkward could not sit still and donated money, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Qian Xuantong and other scholars who organized this event all showed a smile on their faces. This time, a major earthquake with unprecedented losses occurred in Japan. As a result, after the Chinese government donated 5,000 yuan, there was nothing left. This made many people angry and just took out some money and also made the government lose face.

At this moment, a young student stood up, walked a few steps to the front of the donation box, took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, and said to several scholars who were hosting, "Teachers and sir. I don't have much money, but I also want to give some love. These are a few words I wrote. If everyone can see it, I want to auction it on the spot, do you think it is?"

Qian Xuantong smiled slightly on her face and said, "Of course, don't worry, if others don't buy it, I will buy it."

"Thank you sir."

As he said that, the student suddenly unfolded the rice paper. When everyone saw it, the audience was in an uproar. In the middle of the paper, two big words were written in vermilion: Shameless!

The big blood-red and blood-red words that stabbed people's eyes made everyone scream. When Qian Xuantong saw it, his face turned pale and pointed at the student and asked loudly: "What do you mean?"

"Hmph, I don't know what kind of kindness Japan has to do with China, only blood feud, deep feud! The soldiers of the Beiyang Navy looked in the sky, the elders of the three eastern provinces are still there, and the two robbers of Japan and Russia are dog biting dogs on China's land. What is there to praise? Let China stand up and let China see hope is to send troops to the Far East, fight against the Korean Peninsula, and fight against the British Empire's Far East Fleet, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and take bloody battlefields. You don't know how to thank you, but instead donate money to those executioners. This is a smile, shameless thing!"

"A major earthquake is a natural disaster, a disaster for mankind. Our donations are completely humanitarian. You are confusing the public and making trouble!" Several scholars said angrily.

"Humanitarianism is really nice to say. Those unjust souls in Lushunkou and the heroes of the Beiyang Fleet, who talks about humanitarianism to them?"

"You are intentionally making trouble, leave here!" Qian Xuantong said loudly, and several people rushed up, pulled the student out without saying a word, pushed and shoved him all the way outside the door.

Just as they were in a mess, they suddenly heard the loud voices of the boys outside: "Extra, Extra! HSBC received a large number of holiday yen. Financial turmoil, the yen depreciated!"

Several scholars inside couldn't hear what they were shouting, but all the merchants near the door heard it, and two people jumped up and rushed outside in an instant, snatching the newspaper from the newspaper boy's hand.

After just taking a look, he was like going crazy, and ran home. The fat man in his forties and fifties ran faster than a rabbit. The others also snatched the newspapers and looked at them for a few times, and were all stunned.

According to the newspaper, two Japanese yen with the same serial number were found in HSBC's Tianjin branch, and one of them was obviously counterfeit currency. The bank hurriedly found an expert and carefully identified it, but found that the two Japanese yen were exactly the same and could not be distinguished at all.

This scared the bankers silly. They had a lot of yen deposits in their hands, so they checked overnight and found a large number of holiday yen. It was of great importance, so they immediately reported it. As a result, the headquarters were in some European banks, and the amount was very huge, and the number was as many as millions had been discovered.

There may be dozens of times more counterfeit coins that have not been discovered, and it is unprecedented in the history of banking. The banks in the world suddenly became shocked. More and more counterfeit coins were found, which made everyone in shock.

Some Chinese banks also found a large number of counterfeit coins, and the credit of the yen in the world was instantly hit hard. This news attracted more attention from all countries than the Kanto earthquake. After all, the issue of the yen is related to everyone's personal interests.

Most of the people who came to donate to Japan had contact with Japan and had a certain amount of yen in their homes. In their opinion, Japan is still a strong country, and the yen is still trustworthy. But after seeing this news, they were all shocked. If such a big problem arises, even if the yen at home is real, it will shrink significantly.

Therefore, they all cried and called on their parents, and no longer wanted to donate money to Japan. They all scolded Japan for being shameless and even used fake money to deceive people. Humanitarianism and cosmopolitanism all became nonsense in the face of real interests.

A good fundraising event actually caused a terrible start. The scholars who hosted it were stunned when they heard it. Their works were also published in Japan. They were counting yen happily, but when they saw the reports in front of them, they were like bolts from the blue.

These Japanese devils are really not good, so why don't they donate money? Everyone coaxed them and it was like birds and beasts scattered. Qian Xuantong was also very embarrassed. The 5,100 yuan he donated was all Japanese yen, and maybe there were fake ones. This guy sat on the ground.

...

Luoyang, Henan.

Tang Wansan is a famous rich man in Henan. Compared with Chen Wansan during the Ming Dynasty, he had countless fertile land and rich family background. When Wu Peifu was carrying out land reform, Tang Wansan saw that there was no way, so he ran to Shanghai.

After Wu Peifu was driven away, he returned to Henan in a swagger, wanting to get back the land he used to, but he also heard that the new chief did not return the land directly, but wanted to continue to leave it to those mud legs. He was immediately angry. Wu Peifu had an army of more than 100,000 and he didn't dare to mess with him, but the new official was nothing!

He immediately gathered all the former thugs, found a large number of gangsters, and gathered more than 300 people to regain the land. They rushed towards Liujiawan in a fierce manner.

As they got closer, several thugs were sharp-eyed and found several half-grown children standing guard running towards the village. They laughed loudly: "Little bastard, come home and tell your mother that the uncle is here again, wait for us honestly!"

As they said that, everyone else burst into laughter. Tang Wansan walked in front and was even more proud. But just as they rushed to the entrance of the village, a group of farmers holding hoes and shovels rushed out of it, blocking Tang Wansan.

When Tang Wansan saw the leading old farmer, he couldn't help laughing: "Old Liu, our two families can be regarded as a friendship between the sons and the fathers. My father cut off two fingers to pay off the debt. You said you would like me to cut you a few more this time? Hahaha!"

"I'll fight with you, cut off the dog's head, so that the villagers can suffer any more!"

Old Man Liu held the shovel and was about to rush over. Several young and strong men around him were angry and were about to rush over. At this time, Tang Wansan suddenly escaped from a Mauser pistol, shook it in his hand, and sneered: "Did you see, Tang Ye has a smoker, if you are not afraid of death, come here!"

Just as Tang Wansan was shouting loudly and unscrupulously, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and his wrist was penetrated. The arrogant guy screamed and the pistol landed on the ground.

A sound of neat footsteps came from the village. More than 20 soldiers with live ammunition rushed out. They also pointed their black guns with two light machine guns and all pointed at Tang Wansan and others. Chu Mingyuan also walked out of the village and looked at the thugs and hooligans coldly.

"You all listen to me. I am a senator from the Henan Provincial Office and am under investigation. You all surrender and surrender. After hearing this, 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 all the swords and guns and squat on the ground.

Old Man Liu suddenly grabbed Chu Mingyuan's hand, and two turbid tears fell in his eyes: "Sir, you are a good person, but you must leave us a way out. This place must not be taken away again!"

The common people in Liujiawan suddenly knelt down: "Sir, please pity us."

Facing these ordinary people, Chu Mingyuan really dared not let them down. The next day he returned to the provincial capital, and Yan Xishan also came back early. As soon as he met, Yan Laoxi smiled and said, "Senator Chu, the Vice President allocated 30 million yuan in startup funds. With money, it's easy to do things."
