Nong Jinsun looked at Xuan Yuemeng's face, and immediately understood what Xuan Yuemeng meant: "Yuemeng, I know you must have misunderstood, the Japanese are very hostile to our Great Qing Kingdom, I have been in Japan for so long, how can I not know that I don't have any deep friendship with the Japanese, however, we people in the Great Qing Kingdom must also face up to our backward Japan's history, geography, culture, and all aspects are far behind us, but the speed at which they catch up is amazing, Their determination to surpass us as a whole nation is astonishing, starting from the Meiji period three years ago, they are working hard in Japan, from the emperor to the poor people, for such a nation, we must be vigilant, but also contact, engage in foreign affairs is not just blind obedience, by no means just learn a little skin, we must learn the roots of others, from the origin of foreign affairs in order to save our China. ”Xuan Yuemeng sweated, Nong Jinsun is very new, or a seedling of an enlightenment thinker, in fact, through this period of contact with the society in the late Qing Dynasty, Xuan Yuemeng has also met many people like Nong Jinsun, he doesn't understand, why so many pioneers and awakened thinkers, in the end, did not save the decline of the country, this problem, Xuan Yuemeng is still exploring, if it is all blamed on the decay of the ruling class, Xuan Yuemeng does not agree, it should still be the problem of the whole nation, if the national consciousness is strong enough, If the ruling class can't do it, it will be overthrown, "Uncle Nong, I agree with your point of view very much, then what do you think should be done to save me from China?"
Nong Jinsun: "The most important thing is to learn advanced scientific knowledge from the West and enlighten the minds of the people.I am just an ordinary doctor, and all I can do is to do my best to spread more advanced medical knowledge from the West and save lives.I think we need to open more medical centers. ”Xuan Yuemeng sweated again, I praised you in my heart in vain just now, it seems that you are indeed quite ordinary, at best you are just a patriotic Westerner.Far from the heights of Enlightenment thinkers.Open more medical halls, there is a hairy use to kill all the powers by curing the disease Nong Jinsun saw Xuan Yuemeng's expression indifferently, and felt that it hurt his self-esteem, "Young Master Yuemeng, look at our country."
Now so many people smoke a lot of cigarettes and the money is earned by the foreign powers, not to mention, and their health is also deprived, this is the biggest source of hindrance to our development, but it is a pity that the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Opium War. ”Nong Jinsun's words, Xuan Yuemeng didn't care.But it seems that something suddenly came to mind, "You said that so many people smoke big cigarettes, we must not be able to ban smoking, the imperial court does not dare, but the big tobacco warehouse in the concession has just been burned down a while ago, and the supply of big tobacco must be tight now, do we have any medicine that can be suppressed, or can directly help people quit their addiction to smoking" Nong Jinsun looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise, as if he had found some treasure, "You want to go with me, of course there is."
I have developed a Chinese patent medicine, which is a combination of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and can be mass-produced with only a few raw materials that can be obtained in large quantities very simply, but there is no way to get the support of the imperial court, so I can only sell some in small quantities in the medicine store.Wait, I'll show it to you now. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, although his thoughts were not very clear, but his thoughts were already infinitely close to solving the problem of the British and French Concessions' joint blockade of his Klinsmann Foreign Bank The answer to the problem Xuan Yuemeng's heart suddenly became nervous and looked forward to it.Nong Jinsun quickly took a box and opened it.Inside were a few big, round black pills, which were extremely stinky and smelly, and Xuan Yuemeng retched, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Uncle Nong."
Hurry up and lock it up" Huo Yuanjia and Liu Zhensheng smelled such a stink, and quickly covered their mouths and noses, when Xuan Yuemeng was talking to Nong Jinsun, neither of them knew what Xuan Yuemeng and Nong Jinsun were talking about, so they had been honestly waiting for Xuan Yuemeng to finish talking so that they could go home together.Nong Jinsun smiled: "Young Master Meng, don't look at this thing stinks."
I gave them a name, it is called Smoking Cessation Pill is very effective for people with a big smoking addiction, if you don't smoke for a month, you can quit a big smoking addiction if you take a smoking cessation pill every day.Taking this medicine can make people drowsy, nauseated, don't want to eat anything, just want to sleep, and come to one when you want to smoke a lot, it is very effective for quitting smoking, I have experimented with it. ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded and said with a smile: "Good thing, however, this thing is really not easy to promote, especially if the merchants of the Qing Dynasty sell this kind of thing without the support of the imperial court, foreigners will definitely intervene, but what about foreign companies selling this kind of thing" Xuan Yuemeng suddenly figured it all out, Klinsmann foreign company sales, to see which one dares to say which consulate dares to say, go to the American consulate and the German consulate The United States and Germany are both capitalist countries that have risen later, The market share in China is less than a fraction of that of Britain and France, and the tobacco market is mainly monopolized by Britain and France, and when you go to the U.S. consulate or the German consulate, Lao Tzu will also negotiate with you, negotiate slowly, and see who is anxious, if the business of quitting smoking pills is on fire, even if the construction period of the American concession is stagnant, others will not think that Klinsmann is not good, at most, it thinks that Klinsmann is because the business of the pharmaceutical factory is too hot, and the construction period of the construction site has been temporarily slowed down, and the main focus on the pharmaceutical factory has gone to the present.
The biggest difficulty is only to find someone to support in the Qing Dynasty, Xuan Yuemeng thought of the relationship between his old man Xuan Zonglu and Li Hongzao, Li Hongzao is a hardcore old-fashioned diehard, this faction is the most hardcore to resist foreigners, Xuan Yuemeng quickly thought about the countermeasures to deal with the British and French concession merchant groups in his mind, the more he thought about it, the smoother his thoughts became, a big problem that he was holding in his heart just now, and he didn't expect to find a solution so quickly.Xuan Yuemeng thought this, suddenly stood up and shouted hello.Xuan Yuemeng's sudden cheer startled Nong Jinsun, Huo Yuanjia, and Liu Zhensheng.Huo Yuanjia hurriedly asked: "Yuemeng, what's wrong with you" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "I found a good project, Uncle Nong, I want to open a pharmaceutical factory, which is specially used to produce this smoking cessation pill, can you provide me with the technology I can pay you." ”Nong Jinsun: "The technology in this is very simple, generally a little level of Chinese medicine can be made, I just added a little Western medicine ingredients, and there is no difficulty, if Young Master Yuemeng really wants to do this, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how can I collect the money I will immediately write you the recipe and the steps of production and manufacturing in detail." ”Xuan Yuemeng was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, but this is always technology, I happen to have a hundred taels of silver tickets here, you take it first, I will buy out your project" Nong Jinsun heard the word project.I think it's fresh, but after all, he is a person who has stayed abroad, so it's still understandable, "Young Master Yuemeng."
I definitely can't ask for this money, if I ask for this kind of money, what kind of person have I become, as long as it can make more people who smoke big use this medicine, I thank you that it's too late.It's just that without the support of the imperial court, as soon as you take out this medicine, it will be confiscated by the government, because the imperial court does not ban smoking, and those officials and foreigners are colluding with each other.If you sell this kind of smoking cessation pill, it will affect their interests, how can they promise you to consider the risk of this matter I can't hurt you. ”Xuan Yuemeng also thought of this aspect of what Nong Jinsun said, "It's okay, the most important thing for me to sell with money is to get the acquiescence of the imperial court, don't worry about it so much, you go and write out the list first, I will let people start preparing for production in large quantities today, you can close the store during this time, and act as a technical consultant for me, I will pay you a salary." ”Nong Jinsun saw that Young Master Meng said yes, and saw that Young Master Meng was a personality who did big things, and he was also quite excited.I didn't expect Young Master Yuemeng to say that he would do it, and he also knew that Young Master Yuemeng was the director of the Board of Directors of the American Concession just now, and there is such a person to take the lead, it seems that there is hope for this matter, "Young Master Yuemeng, I don't want a salary, just take care of the food, anyway, my small pharmacy doesn't have any business." ”Xuan Yuemeng said: "This is absolutely not good, Uncle Nong, you give away technology, I accept it, if I want you to work for nothing."
Is it still called opening a pharmaceutical factory, mass production must have a technical team, and in the future, you will be the director of Klinsmann Foreign Pharmaceutical Factory, and I will try to find you some foreign medical experts, and you will strive to form a team, and your monthly salary is 10 taels of Qing official silver, "122 taels of Qing official silver."
In this era, it is equivalent to a four-grade high-ranking official, of course, not a corrupt part.Nong Jinsun looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise, how much effort has he had to do for a while, this is the first time he has seen this little prodigy, is he actually going to be hired by a child who is less than a year old" Young Master Yuemeng, do you mean, did you hire me" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "It was Klinsmann Foreign Company who hired you."
Uncle Nong, are you willing to contribute to the cause of smoking cessation and medicine in the Great Qing Kingdom" Xuan Yuemeng stretched out her little chubby paw to Nong Jinsun.Nong Jinsun hasn't figured out what is going on yet, everything is too fast, and his thinking can't keep up at all Indeed, Xuan Yuemeng is also a sloppy personality in modern times, but in this era, he still seems to be very efficient.Nong Jinsun also stretched out his hand in a daze, and shook it with Xuan Yuemeng's little chubby paws, just with Xuan Yuemeng's words to contribute to the smoking cessation cause and medicine of the Qing Dynasty, Nong Jinsun felt that he should follow Xuan Yuemeng.Huo Yuanjia and Liu Zhensheng couldn't figure out what was going on, they only saw the two of them talking for a while, and then they held each other's hands, what kind of game are they playing, girls in this era are maturing very early, but boys in this era are obviously more mature than modern boys, and boys before they get married definitely don't know as much as modern boys.Xuan Yuemeng immediately asked Dali to find Timothy Lee, immediately prepare for the pharmaceutical factory, first cooperate with Nong Jinsun to purchase materials, set up a project department, set up a workshop in Nong Jinsun's small medicine store, immediately plan a piece of land in the industrial zone, prepare to build a larger pharmaceutical factory, and go to Shanghai to order related equipment, with the goal of establishing a large-capacity, modern, large-scale pharmaceutical factory.Nong Jinsun listened to what Xuan Yuemeng said, and felt that he had the bottom in his heart.Originally, he still thought that if Xuan Yuemeng was such a big child, could he listen to it, but now he only thinks that the prodigy's words are not groundless.Xuan Yuemeng said to do it, immediately sent Huo Yuanjia and Liu Zhensheng back, and then returned to Zeng's mansion to find Zeng Jize, he must get the support of the imperial court, what is the imperial court is the Empress Dowager Cixi Xuan Yuemeng thought that Li Hongzao was just the last way, before Li Hongzao, if Zeng Jize or Li Hongzhang could support him, he didn't have to go to Beijing.Zeng Jize shot directly as soon as he heard Xuan Yuemeng finish speaking, "You are taking it for granted, the governors may not directly take the foreigners' big cigarette money, but there must be money at the bottom, and taking money at the bottom is actually equivalent to the governor taking money, if the people below are against the governor, which governor eats this matter will not work at all, the court will not agree, and the people below will not agree, this will provoke a war."
You are still too young, you know about the court, diplomacy, how much do you know about your Klinsmann foreign firm to build a wharf, you have already violated the interests of the British, the French and the Canal Gang, you see, such a big thing, can it be compared with such a big thing as a smoking ban, you can't do such a big thing, let alone such a big thing as a smoking ban, The Americans and Germans will let Klinsmann Foreign Firm make what quit pills you said Are they not afraid of infringing on the interests of other countries They dare to offend other powers" Xuan Yuemeng expected that Zeng Jize would oppose his approach, but he didn't expect Zeng Jize to be so excited: "As long as the imperial court acquiesces, this matter will be provoked by Klinsmann Foreign Bank, which will be beneficial and harmless to the Qing Dynasty, and a few more governors will cooperate, and I believe that the knowledgeable people will also support it." ”Zeng Jize smiled bitterly, "Of course I know that this is a great thing, the Qing Dynasty is deeply poisoned by the smoke, the harm is great, how can I not understand the truth of all harms, I am saying that it is impossible, the court will not agree, there will be no big man to come out for you in this matter, the governor, the minister of military aircraft, you are still too young, you understand how many things in the court There are still foreigners, once the interests of foreigners are violated, foreigners will directly interfere by force" Xuan Yuemeng: "Are you afraid that I will affect you" Zeng Jize was stunned, and sighed with a wry smile, " What's wrong with me, if you can do this, even if you can do this, even my father is worthy of my father to work hard for the Qing Dynasty for a lifetime, are you afraid of this bit of burden, what the Qing Dynasty needs now is stability, and it is necessary to rise up to catch up with foreigners, so we are engaged in foreign affairs, not brute force, we can't fight foreigners.Don't give outsiders the truth. ”Xuan Yuemeng: "Don't worry about this, I'll go to Li Zhongtang to discuss." ”This is the first time that Xuan Yuemeng and Zeng Jize have a disagreement In Xuan Yuemeng's opinion, it was Klinsmann & Co. who took the lead in doing this, and what he gambled on was only his own net worth and property, which was beneficial and harmless to the Qing Dynasty, and there was absolutely room and possibility for operation.In Zeng Jize's opinion, he only felt that Xuan Yuemeng was whimsical, taking an egg to touch a stone, and the differences between the two people were above and irreconcilable t1706231537:
