MTL - The Son of Finance of the Great Age-Chapter 14 provincial capital
Chapter 14 Provincial City
"Sure enough, it is a famous historical city. The attics and pavilions are so antique. This is the "Wang Xietang" in "Old Wang Xietang Qianyan"..."
Walking to the Qinshui River, Zhong Shi looked at the buildings by the river. Although there was no professional tour guide with him, Zhong Shi also watched with gusto. The old buildings in ancient times are still very well preserved in this era.
Zhong Jianjun followed behind his son, struggling to carry a big suitcase, his eyes fixed on his son who was running around, for fear that if he was not careful, Zhong Shi would run out of his sight.
The Zhong father and son came to Nandu this time to apply for a tourist visa to Hong Kong.
After the Lunar New Year, Zhong Shi became visibly agitated, often walking up and down the room, still muttering words, and made more frequent phone calls with Hong Kong than before.
Father Zhong and mother Zhong saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they didn't know what the son was thinking. Since the son fell ill, the two obviously felt that he had matured, especially when it came to selling white porcelain bowls, Zhong Shi performed even better than the two of them.
The two discussed in private, and felt that with their level of knowledge, it was already somewhat impossible to discipline their son. Even the big businessmen from Hong Kong, in front of their sons, are submissive.
Now the only one who can discipline Zhong Shi is his cousin. Zhong Yi is a college student and lives in a big city like Yanjing, so his knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of rural people.
Zhong Jianjun and Liu Lan took advantage of the winter vacation to tell Zhong Yi exactly what they had in mind, and Zhong Yi naturally agreed. It's just that what Zhong Jianjun and Liu Lan didn't expect was that Zhong Yi had already paid Zhong Shi under his command and became the number one helper.
Zhong Yi pretended to care about his little cousin, and ran to Zhong Shi's house every three days. When the two brothers met, they hid in the room and talked for most of the day. The Zhong couple saw it, and a big stone fell in their hearts.
In fact, the two brothers who secretly hid in the room were basically Zhong Shi talking endlessly, Zhong Yi listened intently. Who would have thought that the leading party is a nine-year-old child, while the audience is a top student of Yenching University.
Zhong Shi only talked about major international events and the economic structures of several major powers. In order not to shock the world, he did not pass on those complicated financial knowledge and pricing formulas to Zhong Yi, but even so, it was enough to make Zhong Yi dumbfounded and sigh.
Sometimes Zhong Yi also doubts, why does this little cousin know this? He thought about it, but couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. But seeing his cousin's messy newspapers and a lot of materials mailed from Hong Kong, Zhong Yi comforted himself and said that his little cousin is really a genius.
Until one day, Zhong Shi told him solemnly that he had already made a lot of money in the Hong Kong stock market, roughly estimated at three million Hong Kong dollars. Zhong Yi quickly calculated in his mind that the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to RMB is 2.5 to 1, that is, one yuan of RMB can be exchanged for two yuan and five Hong Kong dollars, so three million Hong Kong dollars is more than one million yuan.
In the mid-1980s, one million yuan was an astronomical figure. At that time, state officials only had tens of yuan a month. Even if they didn’t eat or drink, they would have to save for hundreds of years.
After Zhong Yi went to university, his economic awareness had begun to awaken. He began to realize that without money is absolutely impossible. Just this semester, a girl whom he had a crush on for a long time fell into the arms of a rich boy without hesitation. The incident hit him hard, if it wasn't for this little cousin's enlightenment, I'm afraid he would still be living in a daze all day long!
Now that he suddenly heard that his little cousin was so rich, his mind became active, but before he could speak, Zhong Shi interrupted his thoughts. Zhong Shi told him that the money was used to make money, and now life is worry-free, so there is no need to use it. In the end, the little cousin also warned him earnestly that the current Zhong Yi should concentrate on completing his studies, and when he graduates, it would be best if he could get a chance to study in the United States, and at worst he would also want to take a postgraduate entrance examination in Hong Kong.
As for why, Zhong Shi did not say, but he gave Zhong Yi a promise that if he could go abroad smoothly, he would be rewarded with one million Hong Kong dollars.
Under this kind of temptation, Zhong Yi naturally agreed, but when he understood it, he felt that he was a bit obsessed with money. Although there are not many places to study abroad, as long as you work hard, there will always be hope. Even if you fail the exam, you can still pass the postgraduate entrance examination in Hong Kong.
In the 1980s, universities in Hong Kong began to recruit graduate students in the mainland. In fact, some universities in Hong Kong are not inferior in the world. Just like the University of Hong Kong, it has always been a top university in Asia and is also among the best in the world.
Being rewarded, Zhong Yi naturally praised Zhong Shi lavishly in front of Zhong Shi's parents without hesitation. The enthusiasm of the tone and the numbness of the words made him feel like vomiting when he thought about it afterwards.
Zhong Shi's parents naturally obeyed the nephew of the same family and the only college student in the village, and since then they have basically ignored Zhong Shi's actions. So Zhong Shi and the others mentioned going to the provincial capital for a visit, and the two of them only discussed for a while before making a decision.
In March, Nandu City is full of spring, which is a good season for tourism, especially for several famous scenic spots, which have a lot of people every day.
At this time, unlike later generations, I have two days off every weekend, and there are long vacations from time to time. Even so, people with gradually bulging pockets are still happy to come out to play when they are free.
Among the bustling crowds visiting Qinshui River, Zhong Shi, a weird elf, and Zhong Jianjun, who was carrying a big suitcase, stood out particularly. I couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking of my naughty childhood and the care of my parents, it was even worse than the father and son in front of me.
Qin Shuihe said that it is not big, if you just take a quick tour, you can swim all over it in half a day. If you really want to stroll around carefully, I am afraid it will take a whole day, and the cultural heritage and historical allusions in it must be experienced slowly. But Zhong Shi just enjoys the feeling of coming to the metropolis, and only takes a cursory look at these ancient buildings.
Nandu City, located on the banks of the Changhe River, is a large city in southern China second only to Lihai. Nandu has a long history and is one of the four ancient capitals of China. It has the reputation of "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and is an important representative of the Han Dynasty and Han culture in China.
China has a history of 5,000 years. In such a long history, the Han people living in this land have been repeatedly invaded by foreign races. Especially in the Jin Dynasty, foreign races invaded repeatedly. It is called "Five Random China" in history, which is the history of the Han nationality. The most serious crisis in the world, almost genocide. The Han people living in the Central Plains crossed south one after another, moved from the Nihe River Basin to the Changhe River Basin on a large scale, established the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the lower reaches of the Changhe River, and continued to fight against the Hu people who had invaded the Central Plains.
At that time, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was located in Nandu, because the northern Central Plains had been invaded by the Hu people. The Eastern Jin Dynasty centered on Nandu was the orthodox dynasty of the Han people and inherited the authentic Han culture. Since then, the confrontation between the Han regime in the south and the Hu regime in the north began for 300 years.
Later, the Sui Dynasty unified China, and the court Zhengshuo returned to the north again. During this period, there were ups and downs, and finally the Mongols who rose strongly in the north eliminated the Han regime Song, and the Han completely and completely lost their political power on their own land for the first time.
The Mongols ruled for less than a hundred years, and the Ming dynasty of the Han Dynasty was born. Under the slogan of "expel the Tartars and restore China", the Han people drove the Mongols back to the grassland, and the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Nandu and rebuilt China.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus who rose outside the customs invaded China and finally seized power. They encountered the strongest resistance in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so the Manchus massacred here and repeatedly committed evil deeds of massacring the city.
In modern times, the Han people once again rebuilt China, and also set their capital in Nandu. Therefore, according to the development of history, it is not surprising to say that the orthodoxy of the Han people is in the southern capital.
The Black Clothes Lane that Zhong Shi passed before was the old site of the former residence of the rich and powerful families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xie refers to the two great families led by Wang Dao and Xie An at that time. They were the prime ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty successively. noble family.
"Dad, you should put your luggage in the hotel. Are you afraid that others will steal it? There is nothing valuable!"
Standing in front of the Wang Xie Memorial Hall, Zhong Shi silently recalled the history. He only felt a surge of pride in his chest, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.
Zhong Jianjun, who was following Zhong Shi, looked at his son strangely. Zhong Shi had already stood in front of the memorial hall for half an hour, and he did not see any other movements from him. Zhong Jianjun followed his son's line of sight suspiciously, and only found the words "Wang Xie Memorial Hall", which was nothing special.
In his education, in order to take care of the emotions of ethnic minorities and promote the integration of ethnic groups, these things are only roughly described in history books, and will not be written in a big way. This is certainly good, but it also caused young people to have a half-knowledge of their country's history. Even in later generations, some so-called "historians" jumped out to point fingers at Wu Mugong Yue Fei, saying that he was not a national hero.
After quietly wiping the tears from his eyes, Zhong Shi found his father, still dragging a heavy suitcase, standing quietly behind him.
Zhong Jianjun's face became hot when he heard the words, and he felt a little embarrassed to tell Zhong Shi the little thought in his heart, even though he was an elder.
"Dad, let's find a hotel first, put our things there, and then go to the Mausoleum of the Founding Father!"
Without waiting for Zhong Jianjun to reply, Zhong Shi made up his mind in private. He pushed Zhong Jianjun who was still in a daze, and pouted at a nearby hotel, signaling Zhong Jianjun to stay in this hotel.
This hotel is the closest, Zhong Shi is considerate of his father, and doesn't want to make him tired. Zhong Jianjun pulled Zhong Shi who was walking towards the door of the hotel, and was about to tell him that hotels near tourist attractions are much more expensive than ordinary hotels.
"My buddy has plenty of money!" Zhong Shi said disdainfully before Zhong Jianjun could say anything. This sentence left Zhong Jianjun in a daze for a while. (Please click, please recommend, please collect, thank you for your support!)
