146 Sea Soul

Sun Yat-sen was just quiet. After quietly listening to Li Xiang's words, he didn't say anything for a long time. The two just looked at each other silently. Tang, Chen, Zhang, Song, Mei and others were also speechless, trying to digest what Li Xiang had just said.

Until the cool night wind blew, Li wanted to laugh and said, "Concentrate on doing great things is my understanding of industrial life to save the country."

Sun Yat-sen seemed to be immersed in deep thinking and muttered, "The scope of industry is very wide. Agriculture, industry and commerce and mining are waiting to be done, but those who can be called "big events" are invincible. What's the "big deal" Li Shuai said?

Li wanted to yawn and said without thinking, "Organizing money and circulation finance are the first "big event" for industry to save the country." Today, the country's financial difficulties and the people's livelihood are inseparable. Although the reasons are very complex, the currency system is disordered and the banking system is bad, which are two major reasons.

"Otherwise," Sun Yat-sen was already very tired, and he still raised his spirit. "Those who can be negative will start with capital, and those who help them must do it will be attributed to transportation. ... If there is no railway, there is no way to transship goods, and industry and commerce are all abandoned. What industry can be managed? Therefore, transportation is the mother of industry, and railways are the mother of transportation. The rich and the poor of the country can be determined by the railway, and the rich and the local poor can also be determined by the distance of the railway.

When Sun Yat-sen talked about the railway, he immediately became a spiritual wing.

"... Based on the conclusion of my investigation over the years, there are three ways to communicate the real road of the whole country: I. South Road: starting from the South China Sea, from Guangdong to Guangxi and Guizhou, between Yunnan and Sichuan, to Tibet, and around the south of Tianshan. II. Middle Road: Starting from the mouth of the Yangtze River, from Jiangsu to Anhui, and Henan, while Shaanxi and Gansu, surpassing Xinjiang to Yili. III. North Road: It starts from Qinhuangdao, turns into Mongolia around Liaodong, goes straight through Outer Mongolia, and has reached the Wuliang Sea. You must be particularly difficult about the North Road. Just from the map, the straight line from Zhangjiakou to Kulun is more important, but I think the North Road is more urgent. The North Road is the key road to solidification, and it is also an urgent matter of breaking the wilderness. Border immigration and open source dredging are all natural tails. ... There are more entrants. If the goods are abandoned on the ground, they will be more remote, and the desolate is enough to emigrate, which is recognized by the world.

"What about the money for the railway?" Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where does the money come from?"

"There is no way to do it in China, and it must be exported to foreign capital." Sun Yat-sen said proudly, "The U.S. railways are all over the country, and its duration is only ten years. At the beginning of the operation, we also borrowed a lot of foreign money and can achieve it. Therefore, there is no doubt about the problem of borrowing debt and running roads. It is said that 200,000 miles of railway will be built in ten years, but it must be carefully calculated to succeed. It is not an ideal thing. In terms of today's capital, materials, talents and ideas, it is better than the United States, which has to recruit hundreds of thousands of workers to build roads. Our country has saved this difficulty. The government opens up European and American capital, source input, why not do anything?

Li Xiang said slowly, "Foreign money is not borrowed by borrowing. Maybe it will borrow foreign debt indiscriminately like the Qing court. In the end, the empire controlled China's financial industry and the government's finances, opened banks in China, indiscriminately issued paper money, and made copper coins indiscriminately. In addition, the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty could not sort out its own finance and currency, because And it makes China's financial world appear in chaos.

"Is Li Shuai against the import of foreign capital?" Sun Yat-sen said lurely, "There is no such situation in the United States as you said. Moreover, it is now the New China and the New Republic of China, not the corrupt and incompetent Qing Dynasty. This situation can't happen.

"I am not against borrowing foreign capital, but I agree. However, it must be combined with the actual situation in China to make a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the use of foreign debt, such as the advantages and disadvantages of borrowing, and which should be borrowed and what should not be borrowed. This requires a complete financial system and a group of shrewd financial talents. Strict control!" Li said, "American Railways rely on Wall Street to take the lead, constantly borrowing foreign money and raising funds. Does China have Wall Street? China's banking industry is still underdeveloped, and these funds and financial lifelines are not well managed. They are all in the hands of outsiders and in the hands of the banking groups of the four countries. I said that sorting out the currency and circulating finance is the first "big event" for the industry to save the country. That's why! Establishing China's 'Wall Street', concentrating idle social funds and introducing foreign investment is the concentration of power. Only in this way can we do 'big things', either to build railways or build ships and cannons..."

Li Xiang also talked about the principle of borrowing foreign debt: "First of all, we should consider using it for production, properly manage foreign capital after the introduction of foreign capital, make a careful plan for installment repayment, etc., etc. There is one of the most fundamental premise for borrowing foreign debt, which is to carry out political reform."

Sun Yat-sen stared at Li Xiang for a long time. He is a medical doctor. He finds that he can't get over such a professional economic problem. However, he felt that Li wanted to say one thing in a way, which made sense, so he nodded.

In the process of revitalizing the industry and implementing the cotton iron policy, Zhang Jian also raised the issue of using foreign capital. He believes that foreign investment can be used and how to use it. He has his own more systematic ideas.

At this time, Zhang Jian couldn't help sighing: "When China's funds are insufficient, as long as the contract is legitimate and the authority is clear, we can consider using foreign capital to develop Chinese resources. In this way, it can increase employment opportunities, reduce the purchase of materials abroad, and provide a place for Chinese people to learn technology. The use of foreign capital can be divided into joint ventures, agency, borrowing, etc. However, foreign businessmen undertaking enterprises in China should abide by Chinese laws, and the government should supervise and manage foreign businessmen.

Several people chatted for a while. When Li Xiang saw Miss Song looking at her watch, he asked, "What time is it?"

Miss Song looked up at the heavy night sky and said, "Come here at twelve o'clock."

Only then did everyone realize that it was very late and said goodbye one after another.

Li wanted to walk to the Baidu Bridge in front of the Licha Hotel, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted to Sun Yat-sen, "Sir! What have you been up to lately?

Sun Yat-sen, who stood at the head of the bridge, thought for a moment and replied, "Traveling in various provinces - it's about the construction of the railway."

"Can you make some time for me?"

Sun Yat-sen asked in surprise, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Lixiang smiled and said, "I'm going back to Wuhan. I want to invite you to see Ezhou and the achievements of our revolution." After saying that, he bowed and made a sincere invitation.

Sun Yat-sen pondered for a moment and said, "When are you leaving?"

Li Xiang was stunned and then smiled and said, "In a couple of days, there is still something to deal with in Shanghai. I'm going to take time to see the Deep Blue Naval Academy, Jiangnan Shipyard, and Time Company... When I go back, I'll pick up Mr.."

Sun Yat-sen thought and said, "If you don't mind, I also want to visit the Naval Academy and the shipyard."

......

I'm used to looking at all kinds of luxurious high-door mansions. I really didn't expect that the main entrance of the Deep Blue Naval Academy was so simple and unpretentious, which amazed Sun Yat-sen! If it weren't for the gilding characters of the name of the college on the left wall of the main entrance and the two powerful sentries at the door, you can hardly imagine that this is the gate of a military academy! Sun Yat-sen can see the realistic and pragmatic style of the college from the style of the gate.

Sun Yat-sen actually looked too high at Li Xiang. Deep Blue is still under construction, and the students who have just been recruited still live in a marching tent. If you give Li another year to think about it, he can build the deep blue as solid as gold, and at the same time, he will be as luxurious and beautiful as the Shanghai Road Administration.

Entering Gate 1, there are two other on-duty personnel in camouflage uniforms to set up cards. You need to check your IDs here. Even the guests accompanied by Deep Blue Principal Sa Zhenbing are the same.

After checking the documents, the guards politely made a passable gesture. Li Xiang and Sun Yat-sen and others passed through a not-long passage and entered the college.

At the Deep Blue Visitor Center, obtain information about the college and tour route maps.

Walking in a long corridor, you can still smell the paint that has just been applied. There are portraits or photos of famous Chinese naval figures hanging on the long corridor, as well as simple instructions.

It's like seeing strange and familiar characters after gently brushing the dust on the surface of history. Looking at the old yellow photos or moldy charts, imagine the hope and disillusionment, longing and depression, anger and sadness, roaring and sobbing that loomed with the flag and whistle... and the looming figure on the deck and porthole, the true and illusory voice... The ruthless years Identifying the past fires of war, gunpowder smoke, sunken boats, broken masts, blood clothes, military songs... The swords and shadows were dimmed, and the drums were far away, and fresh faces were flying in front of them.

When he saw Deng Shichang's photo, Li Xiang's blood surged on his head and blurted out, "This day is full of tears, and there is a strong navy..."

After Deng Shichang's photo, there are the martyrs who died in the First Sino-Japanese War. This is a whole group of Chinese soldiers who were born at the right time. They were so young and prosperous at that time. In them, there was no lack of blood and sincerity, ambition and ambition, courage and tenacity. However, in old China, they never had a fleet enough to carry the dream of a powerful country, or even for their ancestors. The country has fought a real sea battle. Most of them have been ups and downs in adversity all their lives, but at the same time, they have been trying to use all their loyalty and wisdom to make their flag cross the sea.

They want to find a way out for the whole nation by looking for a way out of an army.

They want to save the fate of the whole country by saving the fate of an army.

For this reason, this whole group of modern Chinese naval soldiers have paid their youth and lives. Therefore, naturally, they have the experience of all the benevolent people in the chaotic era, and in the end, they are naturally fixed in "two places". In the fateful background, so that when later generations turn back to look for them, the distant figures are already quite blurred, and some of their names have even been completely forgotten or smeared into a mess.

Li Xiang has never experienced the hardships of their lives, nor has he faced the historical issues they have faced. To be honest, Li Xiang really feels lucky. If he really wants to travel on the eve of Jia, Li thinks that he can't do Xu Yifan so against the sky.

Therefore, when reading their life journey, Li Xiang couldn't calm down and dispel the great impulse to pursue his tracks, explore his fate, and experience his tragedy.
