    Hong Yun'er's words shocked Xiao Yungui greatly. In an instant, he began to understand in his heart what it was that he needed to protect, or why he was fighting so hard.  In his eyes, revitalizing China and reviving the Han people were all out of reach. You must know that later generations experienced the melee between the Beiyang warlords, the Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War, and the Korean War before they could barely be said to have achieved the revitalization of China.  This process took nearly a hundred years and cost countless heroes to accomplish it. Xiao Yungui was not sure that he could accomplish what countless heroes spent decades to accomplish. He also did not expect that he could be like those on the Internet in later generations.  Like the novel, the country can be unified and the great powers defeated in a short period of time.

    From the beginning to the present, everything he did was in compliance with the identity and mission brought by Xiao Chaogui's body. His purpose was just to save his own life.  He doesn't care who he uses or who he deceives, because no one knows his true intentions in his heart. To put it bluntly, he does it for himself.

    When Hong Yun'er said, "I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to you, then I will have no one in this world to talk to." After hearing this, Xiao Yungui realized that he could not lose the woman in front of him. She was the most important person in this world.  She is the closest person to her. She can regard herself as the only relative she can trust, so why not herself?  From this moment on, Xiao Yungui added Hong Yun'er to his inner plan. He was fighting for himself and Hong Yun'er. Other ambitions were too far away and he couldn't afford it.  

    Xiao Yungui couldn't help but squeeze Hong Yun'er's hand and said, "Yun'er, I swear, I will protect you for the rest of my life, just like I protect myself."

    Hong Yun'er's eyes were slightly red, and she responded with a smile: "It turns out that you don't think you should protect me until now?"

    Xiao Yungui laughed sheepishly.  He gently took her into his arms and said: "You are right, you and I are the only closest people in this world. You can't lose me, and of course I can't lose you."

    Hong Yun'er became a little shy, broke away from his arms slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be nauseous, let's continue talking about a few things about me. Finding Fu Shanxiang is the first thing, and the second thing is that I came from Mai  I found out about several famous people from Dusi, and these people are all in Shanghai. As long as we find them, they will definitely join us with a warm invitation."

    "Xiao Yungui asked, "Who is he?" He knew that his historical knowledge was not as solid as Hong Yun'er's, and he really couldn't remember any other famous figures in Shanghai.

    Hong Yuner said with a smile: "Li Shanlan, Wang Libin, Hua Hengfang and Xu Shou."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "It seems that these four people have heard of it. They all seem to be famous scholars at this time."

    Hong Yuner nodded and began to tell the identities of the four people.  Li Shanlan.  Her original name was Li Xinlan and her courtesy name was Jingfang.  No. Qiuren.  Uncle Ren, also known as Renshu, was born in Haining, Zhejiang. He was a famous mathematician, astronomy, mechanics and botanist in modern times. He created the power series expansion of quadratic square roots, various trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and the power series of logarithmic functions.  Number expansion.  This is Li Shanlan's most significant achievement in Chinese mathematics in the 19th century.  In the early years of Xianfeng's reign, he lived in Shanghai. In 1852, he co-translated the last nine volumes of Euclid's "Elements" with the British sinologist William Alexander at the Mohai Library in Shanghai, completing the unfinished work of Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci in the late Ming Dynasty.

    The Mohai Library was founded in Shanghai in 1843 by the British London Missionary missionaries Madus, Meiwei Cha, Mu Weilian, Joseph Joseph and others.  The library is located in Maijiaquan near Jianghai Beiguan.  Close to the London Christian Church headquarters.  Li Shanlan has been dealing with foreigners in the library and studying knowledge diligently.

    Along with Li Shanlan, there was a man named Wang Libin, who was born in the 25th year of Daoguang reign in the Qing Dynasty. His courtesy name was Zhongwei and his nickname was Lanqing. He ranked first in the county examination at the age of eighteen and was a scholar.  Wang Libin was also nicknamed "The Long-haired Champion". In the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it is said that he wrote to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the name of Huang Wan to provide strategic advice to the Taiping Army. Later, when the Dongchuang Incident broke out, his treatise fell into the hands of the Qing army.  After being discovered by the Qing court, Wang Libin had to flee to Hong Kong and changed his name to Tao, Zhongtao, and Tiannan Tusou.  This man was a famous modern Westernization political commentator and the father of Chinese journalism.

    Although some scholars in later generations have disputed whether Wang Libin was Huang Wan, the fact is that Wang Libin was a person wanted by the Qing court. This is irrefutable. In his early years, he followed Medus to translate the Bible, and he also sympathized with the Taiping Rebellion. He used a pseudonym.  It is not surprising that Huang Wan wrote a letter, and it is no wonder that people in the Qing court suspected him.

    Hua Hengfang was born in Dangkou Town, Wuxi County, Jiangsu Province. His courtesy name was Ruoting. He was a Chinese mathematician, translator and educator in the late Qing Dynasty.  Xu Shounai was a native of Wuxi, with the courtesy name Xuecun and the nickname Shengyuan. He was the enlightener of modern chemistry in my country.  In later history, these two people were invited by Zeng Guofan to transfer to the Anqing Ordnance Institute, where they were responsible for building factories and installing machines. Later, they helped Li Hongzhang build the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing General Administration. They can be said to be the pioneers of modern Chinese industry.

      Xu Shou and Hua Hengfang are school friends. They often get together to discuss difficult problems they encounter and inspire each other.  In early 1853, the two went to Shanghai together to explore new knowledge. They paid a special visit to Li Shanlan, who was already well-known in Western learning and mathematics at that time. Li Shanlan also appreciated their attitude towards learning. In addition, the Taiping Army conquered southern Jiangsu.  The war broke out, so the two of them stayed in Mohai Library.

    After listening to Hong Yun'er's lengthy introduction, Xiao Yungui stroked his chin and said: "It seems that the foreign devils have done some good things. The libraries and missionary schools they set up in Shanghai are very good. These libraries and missionary schools have cultivated talents for our country.  There¡¯s a lot of talent.¡±

    Hong Yun'er sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that people like Li Shanlan and Hua Hengfang, who gave up taking the eight-part essay test, gave up their official positions in the Qing Dynasty, and devoted themselves to studying and studying Western sciences, are very rare.  My father, Rong Hong, will not return from studying in the United States until next year. Most scholars today still want to read eight-part essays, take the imperial examination, become a high official, and make a lot of money."

    Xiao Yungui chuckled and said: "Now that we are here, we have to make some changes. I want to send a group of teenagers to study abroad after we capture Shanghai. Regardless of whether our rebellion can succeed in the future, it will be considered a blessing.  Batch seeds. And since Wang Libin is good at current affairs, we can run a newspaper. Firstly, we can earn some pocket money. Secondly, we can guide the direction of public opinion in the area we occupy. Thirdly, we can fire off old Confucianism. With Hong Yun'er, you are good at it.  debate, teach those rotten Confucians a lesson, and tell them that Confucianism is not meant to be played like they do."

    Hong Yun'er smiled and said: "You will arrange things for me to do. I have published several books on the imperial edict, but don't mention it. Once books like "Yangzhou Ten Days" are published,  It was sold out quickly. After reading the die-hard scholars in Nanjing, many of them were not against me, but a few people said that we were just quibbling. Later I said that these manuscripts were from the Japanese Fuso Kingdom.  They just shut their mouths when it was passed back. These scholars, the legacy of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is too deep, and it will be difficult to reform for a while. I am also thinking about any good way to be our mouthpiece, this method of running a newspaper  Not bad, you can give it a try.¡±

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "As for people like Li Shanlan, Xu Shou, and Hua Hengfang, we can recruit them to run schools and open factories. Shanghai has a lot of contact with Westerners. Maybe there are people like Li Shanlan and Xu Shou.  We have to recruit him, and there is Rong Hong. Since he will return to China next year, we cannot let him go. In short, as long as he is a talent, we will use it, and we must use it boldly."

    Hong Yun'er didn't know what she thought of. She frowned slightly and said, "What a pity. It would be great if the Heavenly King and the East King of Nanjing could think the same as us."

    Xiao Yungui said with a faint smile: "Anyway, we have arrived in southern Jiangsu, and Nanjing has been given to them. The local military and political power has the final say. I will provide them with some money and food on time, and send troops to help them fight when necessary. In short, we are west  The military and political affairs of the palace can no longer be done according to their way, otherwise all the people under our command will run away before the Manchu Qing comes to attack us."

    Hong Yun'er turned around, sat down and took a sip of tea and said: "By the way, have you thought about the land policy? What should we do? Our slogan is to farm with land, but this land policy is currently too  If it is difficult to realize, it will also push many rich farmers and small and medium-sized landowners to a dead end. If it is not handled well, there will be team training everywhere, and there will be rural braves in every village. Even if we occupy the big cities and there is no rural supply, we will not be able to survive.  Go down."

    Xiao Yungui's biggest headache is the land issue. The biggest problem in China's thousands of years of feudal dynasties has been the land issue. At the end of each feudal dynasty, there will be successive disasters. Coupled with the violent land annexation, peasants will explode.  uprising.  In these peasant uprisings and the wars suppressed by the official army, the population continued to lose. After the population loss, farmers and landlords would be consumed in large numbers in the war. Farmers either died in large numbers in wars and disasters, and landlords were either killed by the rebels or fled.  And lose the land.  After all land conflicts are released in the war, there will be a large amount of unowned land or a situation where the population is small and the land is large. Then a new dynasty begins to rule. Without exception, farmers will recuperate and recuperate.  Live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity of a dynasty began again.  But the rise of each dynasty is based on the loss of a large number of people. It seems that the only way to release land conflicts is war.

    The current situation is similar to the demise of previous dynasties. A large amount of land has been annexed. The Manchus still occupy the fertile land outside the customs and do not allow the Han people to go out to cultivate. They rely on the cultivated land within the customs to feed a population of 400 million. With the current  The level of productivity is extremely strenuous. Coupled with the invasion of foreign powers, reparations and the invasion of foreign goods, China's original farming model is being destroyed.  The foreign cloth imported from Shanghai alone caused hundreds of hand-woven textile workshops in Suzhou and Hangzhou to close down, and the people had no land to farm.?If they lose the opportunity to work and have no way to make a living, they will naturally rise up and rebel.

    Facing internal and external troubles, choosing an appropriate land policy seems to have become Xiao Yungui¡¯s biggest problem. Is it really necessary to eliminate the landlord class?  This doesn't seem to work.  But if we don¡¯t do this, how can we eliminate land conflicts?  (To be continued.)
