134. Zizhengyuan
Therefore, you will find that some reporters are particularly well-behaved when interviewing celebrities.
When meeting new people, be unscrupulous.
If you don't establish your authority, others will be able to rely on you.
It's just that Yamahara Hachio happened to be Bai Gui's target.
Otherwise, he would not get angry over a "little thing" and seek provocation and revenge.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
"Yes, Mr. Bai."
Nobuo Nakajima knew what to do. Although he could use his connections to get Yamahara Hachio to go away, it was still a bit unsafe, but with a reward of one hundred yen, unless it was a life-and-death acquaintance, he did not believe that Yamahara Hachio's boss would not be tempted. .
And this money not only allows Yamahara Hachio's boss to fire him, but also has a deeper meaning.
"This hundred yen is just a deposit. If you do well, I won't be short of money..."
Bai Gui put down the tea cup and said.
You can use some money to avoid subsequent troubles, which is money well spent.
If he hadn't been in the newspaper industry, he would have spent even more money.
Two days later, news came from the Purchasing News Agency.
Yamahara Hachio stole the newspaper's trade secrets, was caught by his boss, editor-in-chief Nohara, and was fired.
This is much worse than unilateral dismissal!
He will no longer be able to work as a reporter in the future, and newspapers are also involved in many walks of life. It is too difficult to find a suitable civilian job like a reporter, and with the "stigma" of stealing business secrets, no one Dare to use...
Some people in the industry know the inside story, but everyone flatters the superior and disdains the inferior. How could they offend several major newspapers just for a small reporter.
…
A few more days passed.
Bai Xiongqi and Bai Xiuzhu wrote to say goodbye and prepare to return home.
Although Bai Xiongqi did not explain any reason, Bai Gui also saw some suspicions from the newspaper.
In fact, in 1901, the Qing court had already prepared to imitate the British constitutional monarchy and establish a House of Lords and a House of Commons to implement a constitutional monarchy. From time to time, ministers reported: "Change the political system and implement a constitution." However, the House of Lords and the House of Commons dragged their feet and have never been established.
In 1906, Zai Ze published the "Report to Announce the Confidential Declaration of Leaving the Constitution", which stated the three major benefits of establishing a constitution: "The throne will be permanent, foreign troubles will be alleviated, and internal strife can be eliminated."
However, the constitutional regulations and so on still tied the power to the monarch alone, so the local governors were unwilling. This was intended to weaken the local strength, so they kept arguing with the court, so the court only changed the constitution this time. 12. The names of the various ministries of the imperial court were changed from the Household Department to the Du Branch, and the Ministry of War to the Army Department...
However, petition campaigns and rebellions by constitutionalists in various places calling for the convening of Congress continued.
Therefore, the Qing government promulgated the "Charter of the Provincial Consultative Bureaus" in 1908 to ease local conflicts, stipulating that the members selected by the provincial consultative bureaus must meet one of the following conditions: ① Have worked in the province for more than three years in academic affairs and other public welfare undertakings; Those who have excellent academic performance; ② Those who have graduated from domestic or foreign middle schools and their equivalent or above middle school schools and obtained diplomas; ③ Those who have a birth certificate or above Those who violate the above regulations to participate in the revolution; ⑤ Those who have more than 5,000 yuan of operating capital or real estate in the province and local area.
Recently, there was news in the newspapers that the imperial court was preparing to establish the Zizhengyuan. This was to "establish the Zizhengyuan first to establish a basis for members." There are a total of two hundred members, half of whom are selected by each provincial consultative bureau, and the other half are appointed by the emperor.
"Bai Xiongqi probably returned to the country to seek seats in the parliament. Members of the provincial councils only need to have a high school diploma. And he is a German student. If he returns to the country to serve for a period of time..."
"The chance of appointing an imperial council member is very high by then!"
Bai Gui thought to himself.
Not many people study abroad, and those who return home are treasures. Not to mention that Bai Xiongqi studied in Germany. Germany is now a constitutional monarchy. When Zai Ze inspected Europe, Germany was the focus of inspection. With this status gone, he will definitely be reused.
Not to mention that his teacher Jin Quan is the Minister of Military Aircraft.
With whom does the Zizhengyuan seize power?
What is taken away is the power of the Military Aircraft Department!
The imperial court was not allowed to try its best to add sand to the Zizhengyuan to control the Zizhengyuan. But becoming a member of the Council of Ministers is definitely not as easy as being a member of the provincial councils. Whoever you choose is worth considering...
The students studying abroad represent new ideas, which do not seem so old-fashioned and have excuses.
Students studying abroad are very similar to the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, with unlimited potential.
…
Bai Gui wrote to Bai Xiongqi and Bai Xiuzhu, hoping to say goodbye to them before returning to China.
The three met at a German restaurant.
This is a very upscale restaurant.
"Today I say goodbye to Brother Xiongqi. I hope that Brother Xiongqi will have a safe and smooth journey after returning to China, and that he will be promoted step by step." Gu.
Bai Gui raised his glass and said with a smile.
He also has his own little thoughts. Now Bai Xiongqi has a bright future, and the benefits to him of being friends with him are obvious. Although after he returns to China, with his current reputation, he can still enjoy himself in the country.
But making one more friend can also lead to another path.
"Meihe has a heart."
Bai Xiong nodded, also in a good mood.
Bai Gui chose this restaurant to bid farewell to him, which shows that he attaches great importance to him.
Although choosing a cheaper restaurant is fine...
As the saying goes: Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is light on courtesy but heavy on affection!
But who really has the mood to judge whether you are sincerely affectionate or intend to humiliate?
The three clinked glasses.
Bai Xiuzhu drank fruit juice, not alcohol.
Not long after.
Meals are served in the restaurant, and the meals are divided into portions.
The first course was pea and vermicelli soup with Nuremberg bratwurst. The second course was roast pork with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes and sauce. The third course was beef brisket stewed with potatoes.
"Xiuzhu, you and Meihe chat for a while while I go to the bathroom."
The three of them talked for a while, and there was a slight silence. Bai Xiongqi saw that Bai Xiuzhu and Bai Gui were absent-minded, and secretly cursed "women are not allowed to stay in college", and left the room with an excuse.
Wait for Bai Xiong to leave for a while.
Bai Xiuzhu frowned coldly, she didn't say a word, she just divided the cooked Nuremberg sausages with a knife and fork. She preferred to eat the sausage pieces dipped in the sauce and mixed with mashed potatoes, so that the food would be richer.
A small piece of sausage went into his mouth.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time.
Bai Xiuzhu is sulking, even though she knows that there is always no shortage of women around good men, and Bai Gui can be regarded as clean and self-sufficient. With his current status and identity, there are no excessive scandals.
And a man who is not excellent is not necessarily careless.
As Bai Xiongqi said: "As long as you don't take it home."
But knowing is one thing, being angry is another.
"Xiuzhu..."
Bai Gui saw Bai Xiuzhu sipping soup with a spoon, broke the embarrassment, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know what Chunyu is?"
"Chun Yu?"
Bai Xiuzhu was startled for a moment, then raised her eyes, showing doubts.
She slowly stirred the soup bowl with a spoon, and the light-colored pea and vermicelli soup swayed around.
In the hall, the piano plays beautifully.
"The vermicelli in your soup bowl is Chunyu. In Japanese, vermicelli is written as spring rain..." Bai Gui also stirred the soup bowl with a spoon and scooped out some vermicelli from it, which was crystal clear, just like the ice under the eaves.
He told a little story.
There was snow falling outside the house, and it was a cold winter day.
In later generations, there was a female writer named Sanmao. She lied to Jose and said, "This kind of thing is the result of spring rain falling on the mountains and freezing."
Bai Xiuzhu doesn't know much Japanese, only a little bit, and she only learned it recently from Mrs. Bai.
She was also a little crazy after hearing this beautiful metaphor.
"This is a poem I wrote especially for you."
Bai Gui took out a pen and letterhead from his bag and wrote quickly and in one go.
He handed the letter to Bai Xiuzhu.
The poem is modern poetry.
"Rain Lane".
