Chapter 2819 Times
Suppressing the emotion in his heart, Li Yun opened the declaration and looked at it. In the old days, the speed of obtaining information was very slow. Newspapers were quite effective means of obtaining information from the outside world. Great men also deduced from the newspapers that the situation in various countries in the world has changed.
At first glance in the newspaper, Li Yun saw an impassioned article.
"The Tragedy of the Cut off Finger of the Hankou Salvation Association"
Take another look at the date in the newspaper, May 31, 1912, three months after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, when old and new ideas collided most intensely.
The article "The Tragedy of the Broken Finger" is about one of the issues that literati were most concerned about during this period:
How to maintain the five thousand-year-old culture of Huang Xuanguo?
The article said that at the inaugural meeting of an organization called National Salvation in Hankou, a young man came to the stage to give a speech, scolding foreign goods, pointing out that after the sale of foreign clothes and foreign clothes all over the country, it will cause many domestic people to lose their jobs, and populism will no longer be harmful. .
After he finished speaking, the young man cut off his fingers and wrote four blood-drenched characters: Please use domestic products.
"This is really..."
Li Yun looked a little more complicated.
There is such a bloody man, it is right or wrong not to evaluate his actions, but at least he can wake up the Chinese people with blood, and the literati spirit has not lost.
If this matter is placed in the modern age of the 21st century, I am afraid it will be ridiculed by netizens. How can people in the era of peace understand the predicament Huang Xuanguo encountered at this time?
"Fortunately, it all went through."
Li Yun read the newspaper carefully, and a feeling of indignation and happiness arose spontaneously.
He is now a spectator who travels back to the old times. He can only watch, but can't do anything.
To Li Yun's surprise, Zhonghai had already had a stock exchange in 1912, which became a public stock exchange.
"Master, do you want to exchange a bank note?" The driver stopped in front of a bank. After a little thought, Li Yun entered the bank and exchanged a one-hundred tael bank note into silver dollars, tied it in a small bag, and gently As soon as it was shaken, it made a clinking sound, and the crisp and beautiful silver dollar sound made everyone around look over.
In this day and age, social chaos leads to chaos in the monetary system.
Gold and silver in the old era could be circulated, and silver dollars were issued in the former Qing Dynasty, and copper dollars could also be circulated.
In addition, Zhonghai City was colonized by other countries, so the currencies of various countries were also recognized by the citizens in this city, and even the value was higher than the official exchange rate, which was a hard currency.
"Let's go."
Li Yun got on the rickshaw again, took out a handful of silver dollars from the bag and handed it to the driver. The latter refused and accepted it. For the big man, this was a reward. Too many refusals made the big man unhappy.
Before and after getting it, the driver worked harder, hunched over and dragged Li Yun to run in the old Zhonghai City, his face was full of pride, it seemed that because of Li Yun's different identities, he also had a face as a driver.
"..."
Li Yun's face was weird, and the reality of the illusion created by the system was quite terrifying. Even the subtle changes in the psychology of the driver were made, which was completely the same as the real world.
"Space-time fantasy?"
Li Yun chewed on these four words, vaguely feeling that this place is not as simple as an illusion.
Of course, he definitely didn't believe that what he did in this era would affect future generations. If it was really possible, Li Yun would immediately go to other countries to eradicate the Sakura Kingdom, and see how arrogant they are!
such a pity.
