Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Soon Qiao Zhiyong and Shanxi's banking boss' charitable deeds spread all over the country, and business people from all over the country donated generously, and the number of donations increased sharply.Lin Qizhao of Nanxun led the bosses of the local silk industry to donate 2 million yuan to Jiangsu, which greatly eased the urgent need for disaster relief in Jiangsu.Hu Xueyan, a well-known Hongdingzi businessman in Hangzhou, did not dare to lag behind, and donated 1 million yuan in one fell swoop, and also donated 5000 million yuan in disaster relief materials.Under their leadership, almost all large and small commercial firms from all over the country donated huge sums of money to the disaster-stricken areas.

Under such circumstances, countries around the world have also begun to take action. France donated 2 million yuan. Although Germany is facing political turmoil, Hindenburg also took out a huge sum of 8 million yuan in order to please the Chinese emperor. After the US government took the lead in receiving China's goodwill assistance, it also provided nearly 1 million yuan in disaster relief materials to the disaster-stricken areas in China.The rest of the countries are more or less represented.In this way, the financial pressure of the empire has been effectively alleviated.

However, in comparison, American entrepreneurs' aid for the San Francisco earthquake is much more stingy.

After the San Francisco earthquake, the "New York Daily" opened a column to keep faithfully recording the disaster situation of the San Francisco earthquake.In particular, there is an article on the ranking of charitable donations by the leaders of major consortiums in the earthquake disaster in the United States and the flood disaster in China, which has particularly attracted the attention of the American people.In the ranking, Chinese businessman Qiao Zhiyong's performance in the catastrophe surpassed any capital oligarchs in the United States.

Although, in recent years, the steel magnate Carnegie gave up the entire steel industry and devoted himself to charity.However, Qiao Zhiyong is obviously not as generous as the earthquake fundraiser, donating materials and cash totaling 860 million US dollars.Became second only to Qiao Zhiyong in the list of world philanthropy figures.

Morgan is the number one leader in the US capital market and industry.Its consortia and alliances control more than $250 billion in capital, accounting for about a quarter of the US economy.However, although Morgan is not stingy, and was rated as generous and generous by the media, the total donation of the entire consortium is only more than 500 million US dollars.

As for the current Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Jr. is in charge. Although this little gentleman is very different from his father and is keen on charity, he only donated more than 350 million US dollars.

As for the fact that DuPont, which was originally powerful, was a pure arms dealer, they were only keen on war and never interested in charity. Coupled with the blow of the financial turmoil, they didn't pay a penny and suffered a lot in American society. criticized.

In fact, at this time, there are only a few dozen people who have donated more than [-] yuan.It seems.A donation of more than one million is considered super generous.

In order to imitate China and arouse the sympathy and support of American businessmen for the San Francisco earthquake, the U.S. government reported the Chinese businessman Qiao Zhiyong’s righteous deeds in newspapers, and Qiao Zhiyong’s charitable speeches and appeals for donations were kept in prominent positions in newspapers. .For a while, Qiao Zhiyong became an iconic figure leading the trend of philanthropy in the United States and the world.Be the voice of philanthropy in America, and the world at large.Although his righteous deed was aimed at the disaster-stricken areas in China, he has established an excellent public image in the United States after being played up by the American media.

At a charity dinner, Carnegie praised Qiao Zhiyong's approach very much: "Qiao Zhiyong and I have the same idea. If big capitalists don't give back to the society, take their property into the coffin or pass it down from generation to generation, That is a shameful thing."

Although many people present agreed with some of Carnegie's views, such as encouraging capitalists to not forget to give back to society when earning surplus value.Otherwise, capital is in the hands of a few people, causing excess productivity and plundering large capitals of excess wealth.Failure to return part of the wealth to the society will cause the growth of wealth at the bottom of the society, which is the cornerstone of society, to fail to keep pace with the development of productivity, resulting in repeated financial and economic crises and other consequences.But more people think that Carnegie and Qiao Zhiyong’s charitable deeds are not at the same level at all. They are more willing to understand Carnegie’s rhetoric as: Carnegie spent half his life getting old easily, and only married in his 50s. It's about to enter the coffin, and there are no descendants, so it's natural to brag that it's shameful to bring blessings into the coffin, and it's shameful to leave inheritance to future generations.

Inspired by Qiao Zhiyong, after the relief of the San Francisco earthquake, the "New York Times" and other American media also turned their attention to the disaster-stricken areas in China. Many reports described the continuous floods in northern China, and millions of victims in various provinces wandered in a hurry. In the wilderness, on the streets, without food or clothing, it was unbearably miserable.

The "New York Times" also issued an appeal: "Please help the more than 400 million suffering Chinese! Just like helping the San Francisco earthquake!"

Again, this call has attracted widespread attention, with generous donations from all walks of life in the United States.

In the White House, Theodore Roosevelt announced on behalf of the US government that he would donate US$10.This was in response to the Qing government's donation of US$1000 million to San Francisco during the San Francisco earthquake, Carnegie's donation of US$300 million, Morgan's donation of 50, and Rockefeller's donation of 5.

A number of charities in the United States have accepted US$1800 million in donations from Americans for the floods in southern China.According to statistics, the number of donations reached more than 700 million people.

Overseas Chinese groups donated no less than 200 million US dollars to domestic floods.

Under such a favorable situation, China's aid work has progressed much more smoothly than at the beginning.After the second batch of materials of 5 million yuan was put in place, it barely accommodated 200 million elderly, weak, women and children.However, just feeding them is not the root of relief for the victims.The next step is to find a job within their ability for these victims so that they can be self-reliant after the disaster.Moreover, the children among the disaster victims were also assigned some first teachers to help them with cultural education.A week later, cargo ships from all over the world arrived in northern China carrying more relief supplies.Moreover, overseas Chinese volunteers who came from all over the world have gradually put the disaster relief work on track.

At this time, the undercurrent in Singapore is surging!

After Yuan Shikai had a secret meeting with Lu Yongxiang, the commander of the Tenth Army, he had confidence in his heart. After saying goodbye, he got into his car and left the Tenth Army headquarters in a hurry.

"Should we go back home now or..." Liang Shiyi asked tentatively.

Yuan Shikai half-closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Go to the headquarters of the Ninth Army and pay a visit to Fan Xuecheng. I hope he hasn't done anything to Ke'er yet."

Lu Zongyu asked: "Do you need to inform my brothers to send more people?"

"No need, if Fan Xuecheng really wants to kill us, our little troops won't be able to withstand the regular army. But I don't think that kid has the guts!"

Liang Shiyi said to the driver: "Hurry up, time waits for no one, go to the headquarters of the Ninth Army!"

Before coming to the military department, Lu Zongyu yelled loudly at the guards of the military department: "Go in and tell Commander Fan Xuecheng, Commander Tong Bing, that the Governor of Singapore is coming...to inspect! Tell him to come out and greet him immediately."

The guards didn't dare to neglect and hurried in to Tongbing. There was not much time. Fan Xuecheng came over with a large group of people aggressively. Everyone had a guy on them. This way of meeting guests was obviously very impolite, not to mention The opponent is the Governor of Singapore.But people are afraid of meeting, and trees are afraid of peeling.In the officialdom, no matter how much rift there is usually, there is always a face to say, once the face is torn, it will not end well for both parties.

"Haha... What kind of fragrant wind has blown the Governor to me! Welcome, welcome." Fan Xuecheng said with a smile on his face.

When Yuan Shikai saw Fan Xuecheng, Yuan Shikai was very itchy at all, but he was always deep in the city, so he just sneered and said: "Mr. Fan, the defense is hard. I came here to visit. Yuan came here abruptly. Commander Fan will not not welcome you."

"What are you talking about? Please, speak inside." Fan Xuecheng accompanied Yuan Shikai into the reception room of the headquarters.

As soon as the host and guest were seated, they heard screams coming from the next room. Yuan Shikai frowned and asked, "Commander Fan, what is that sound?"

Fan Xuecheng smiled lightly and said, "Today, I caught an undead prostitute from Geylang and dared to rob me of women. My brothers are entertaining him and teaching him the principles of life and conduct."

Yuan Shikai's expression changed. He knew who the other party was referring to. Although he tried to calm down again and again, the screams of being tortured continued to come from the next door, disturbing his mind.He forced a smile, and said to Fan Xuecheng: "Commander Fan, today I heard about what happened between Quanzi Keding and you, so I hurried over to pay a visit, and wanted to clear up this misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? So the client I caught in Geylang is the Governor's son? Why did I hear that the Governor's son has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is quite like a father? How could he go to Geylang for no reason? What about prostitution? If this gets out, I'm afraid it will be disgraced in the face of the governor." Fan Xuecheng said with a sneer.

Lu Zongyu suddenly stood up, pointed at Fan Xuecheng and cursed: "Your surname, Fan, don't be ashamed, the governor personally came to visit for this matter, you fucking dare to speak jealously here! You I have grown a few guts!"

Fan Xuecheng frowned and said: "Bastard! What are you, but you are just a watchdog of the Governor's Mansion. Others treat you like five people and six people. In front of me, Fan, you are not as good as a piece of shit! How can you speak in such an occasion. I think you are trying to die!"

PS: Made a small modification

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 454 Call on Fan Xuecheng

With a bang, the door of the reception room was kicked open, and twenty or thirty soldiers with live ammunition broke in, surrounded Lu Zongyu, and put the black muzzle of the gun on his head.

Fan Xuecheng said to Yuan Shikai: "My lord, this is your man. If you don't train him, I will help you train him."

Yuan Shikai was in a turmoil in the officialdom, how could he have been so angry, but under the low eaves, how dare he not bow his head, suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up and gave Lu Zongyu a loud slap in the face, "Who told you Mouth full of dung, how can you have the right to speak here! You really don’t know how to die.” Turning to Fan Xuecheng, he said, “Mr. Fan, for the sake of someone like Yuan, how about letting him go today?”

Fan Xuecheng laughed with his face up, signaling the soldiers to back off, "Your Excellency, you are the parents of Singapore, and today you can lean down to ask me for help, I really can't stand it."

Yuan Shikai blushed, and said unnaturally: "Mr. Fan, although I, Yuan, am not a soldier, I am also a straightforward person. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Today's visit is for the purpose of restraining the dog. I already understand It's over, it's purely a misunderstanding between you, Ke'er dared to go to Geylang to pick up a prostitute behind my back, I will never let him go on this matter, after I take him back to the mansion, I must enforce the family law against him. As for the perfume gold, she was originally your woman, Commander Fan. I promise that no one will harass her from now on. We are both officials in Singapore. I am in charge of the administration, and you are in charge of the army. This is a relationship of mutual dependence. , if we cause a discord between you and me because of a woman, if it gets to the ears of the emperor in the future, you and I will be unable to bear it and walk around."

Fan Xuecheng lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then patted the table and said: "Okay! Since it is your sincere heart, the governor, my surname Fan is not an unreasonable person. In the face of my lord, I will definitely let him go." .”

"Oh? Really?" Yuan Shikai didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.

"but……"

As soon as Fan Xuecheng said these two words, Yuan Shikai broke into a sweat immediately. Officials always like to make fuss after the two words "nothing but what?"

"Of course I will give you the golden face of your lord, but now everyone in Singapore knows that my woman has been slept by your son Yuan Keding, how can I, the army commander, hold my head up in front of others from now on?" .”

Yuan Shikai gasped, knowing that the other party was deliberately making things difficult, so he asked calmly, "Then how do you think you can make up for it?"

"Haha..." Fan Xuecheng flicked his fingers on the table a few times before he raised his head and said, "My lord, we soldiers don't have any skills other than being able to use guns and knives. Others may think that the imperial court spends a lot of money on us. We stretch out our clothes for our clothes and open our mouths for food, but how do they know that being a soldier is a very difficult job. In times of peace, you are often made things difficult by the local government, and the gods from all sides will bow down. Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, if the local government does not support you, you still have no money. I am not afraid of your jokes, my brothers already have several I don’t know what meat taste is for a month, if you can provide more food and supplies in the future, let my brothers make more tooth-beating sacrifices, I, Fan Xuecheng, will be very grateful.”

Yuan Shikai also laughed. He knew that the other party was still asking for money and things, so he was afraid that if a person is not greedy, as long as he is greedy, things will be easier to handle. Isn't it just money? Throw him 100 million and see if he is still arrogant No, it's not my own money anyway.After thinking about it, Yuan Shikai took out a certificate of deposit from his pocket. It seemed that he had been prepared for it, and said with a smile: "This is a certificate of deposit of 100 million yuan. Even if it is money for perfume gold, I will keep it with Commander Fan." Enjoy it slowly, and then I will allocate a sum of money and food from the fiscal revenue to supply the Ninth Army, which can be regarded as strengthening the relationship between the army and the local area, I wonder what Commander Fan thinks?"

Fan Xuecheng's eyes lit up, he held the certificate of deposit in his hand, read it several times, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is indeed a straightforward person, hehe, from what I, Fan, said, things in the past Just let him go. Come here! Invite Mr. Yuan out!"

Not much effort, two soldiers brought Yuan Keding to the reception room, only to see that Yuan Keding, who had been suave and suave, was covered in bruises and was in a terrible state of distress. Seeing Yuan Shikai here, he rushed over crying, and said in a mournful voice: " Father, you are here, if it is later, my son will never see you in this life! This Fan has tortured his son, you must avenge him."

Yuan Shikai was furious, and he slapped Yuan Keding when he came up, "Useless bastard! You don't know how to do it! What else can you do besides making trouble for me? Let's see if I go back and deal with you properly."

Yuan Shikai cupped his hands to Fan Xuecheng and said, "Thank Commander Fan for giving Yuan some face today, this friendship will definitely be remembered by Yuan."

Fan Xuecheng also cupped his hands and said, "Where, my lord is too modest. In the future, the Ninth Army will still rely on your lord's care. I still have some official duties to deal with, so I won't send them away."

"Farewell!"

In the car, Yuan Shikai glared at Yuan Keding fiercely, his face turned blue and purple due to excessive anger, Yuan Keding had never seen his father so angry, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, even dared not It hurts.

"My lord, are we just swallowing this breath?" Lu Zongyu asked angrily.
