Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

At the time Mu Qiong was in, China's raw silk exports were still possible.

Although the total amount of domestic raw silk exports has been overtaken by Japan, raw silk can still be sold due to the large demand for silk worldwide. Many wealthy households in the rural areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang rely on silkworm breeding. Yes, they will hire long-term workers to raise silkworms and reel silk every time it is the season of silkworm raising.

As for the poor... they simply cannot afford silkworms.

After all, it costs a lot of money to buy silkworm seeds, and silkworms eat a lot of mulberry leaves. How can poor families have so much land to grow mulberry trees?

According to the information obtained by Mu Qiong, at this time in Zhejiang, the best silkworm eggs come from Wu's family, and the annual price of silkworm eggs in Zhejiang is also set by Wu's family. The price of silkworm eggs this year is one yuan and three per piece.

However, this prosperity will be overtaken by Japan sooner or later.

The best way not to be overtaken by Japan is to do things like silk reeling with machines, and to formulate strict industry norms and standards.

After all, the quality of raw silk produced by hand is really uneven.

But it is not easy to start a silk reeling factory.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, something like this happened: Someone bought a silk reeling machine and came back, opened a silk reeling factory in China, and bought a large number of silkworm cocoons to produce raw silk. Those who have nothing to weave.

In the end, these handicraftsmen surrounded the silk reeling factory and did not allow others to produce.

However, the local county magistrate felt that the factory should not be allowed to make life difficult for the people, so he finally ordered the factory to close down.

When Mu Qiong found out the information, he was quite helpless.

There are too many problems in this country.

They need to develop industry in order to catch up with others.

However, the development of industry will make many people unemployed and even poor.

At the same time, the vast majority of people in this country subconsciously reject those new things.

Mu Qiong really admires those revolutionaries. It is they who use their own flesh and blood to make this country better and better.

And he doesn't have that kind of ability. The only thing he can do is to write down the problems he sees and realizes, and see if others can solve them.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. He hopes that his country will become stronger and stronger.

Mu Qiong sorted out the information he found, and began to write the outline again.

This story is mainly written about a young master of a silk family who wants to revitalize the domestic silk industry and makes efforts for it.

During the period, other countries will also be written, especially Japan.

For example, their country has produced silk for thousands of years, but now... they actually want to invite Japanese and Americans to teach them how to raise silkworms and how to reel silk.

At this time, Chinese people should really look at the world.

Simply hating those invaders will not make them stronger, they should bear this hatred and grow up.

It took Mu Qiong a lot of effort to write the outline.

After finishing writing, it was getting late, Mu Qiong sorted out what he wrote and took it, and then went to the hospital next door.

Fu Yun'an's hospital is about to open. Recently, Fu Yun'an has been very busy. When Mu Qiong passed by, he was training some new doctors.

Seeing Mu Qiong, Fu Yun'an said to these people: "That's all for today."

Fu Yun'an also packed up his things, then smiled at Mu Qiong: "I'm done, let's go."

When the two arrived at the orphanage, Zhu Wanwan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them, and while she was waiting, she did not forget to learn English from Fu Huai'an.

She really worked hard and led the people around her to do the same.

Although Fu Huai'an studied hard before, he had to play from time to time. It can be seen that after seeing how Zhu Wanwan and the children in the orphanage study hard, Fu Huai'an began to study more and more seriously.

Probably because Fu Huai'an is relatively young, he is serious and effective in his studies. Now he has learned English well, and his other grades have also improved rapidly, and his grades in Ping'an Middle School are getting better and better.

Also studying here is Sheng Chaohui.

After Sheng Chaohui got rid of his drug addiction, Mu Qiong asked him to help take care of some children in the orphanage, and he agreed, and he often stayed here recently.

"You guys are finally here, you can eat!" Seeing Mu Qiong, Sheng Chaohui, who was always hungry recently, said immediately, and offered to help Zhu Wanwan serve the dishes.

And Zhu Wanwan greeted Fu Yun'an: "Yun'an, come and sit down. I heard that you like sweet and sour pork ribs. I made it specially. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Thank you, Auntie." Fu Yun'an thanked her and laughed.

Mu Qiong also laughed, Zhu Wanwan has accepted Fu Yun'an now, that's great.

There were more children in the orphanage. After dinner, not only Zhu Wanwan and Fu Huai'an were going to teach the children, but even Sheng Zhaohui was going to teach these children.

In other words, Mu Qiong and Fu Yun'an didn't have much work, so they stayed in the office together.

In the office, there are already electric lights.

This electric light was installed by Fu Yun'an at the expense of the orphanage. His hospital was electrified and installed electric lights. When it was installed, he simply helped the orphanage install it.

On the one hand, it was because he didn't want the children to study under the dim light, and on the other hand, it was because he wanted to get Zhu Wanwan's favor.

It is impossible for him to go to Zhu Wanwan and say sweet words to please Zhu Wanwan, but this kind of helping to install an electric light is an easy thing for him.

He would also bring some gifts to Zhu Wanwan from time to time, Zhu Wanwan's improved attitude could not be separated from these.

Since the introduction of electric lights, the quality of life of children has improved a lot.

Most of the orphans in the orphanage suffer from night blindness due to the lack of vitamin A. Before class at night, many people actually couldn't see clearly, but now they are much better.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Mu Qiong will feed them some animal offal almost every day.

Most modern children are overnourished, and it is better to eat less high-cholesterol things like offal, but at this time, people are deficient in nutrition, and it is just right to eat some offal.

You know, lard is a good thing to nourish the body at this time.

"Mu Qiong, how is your new book preparation going?" Fu Yun'an asked, they were together every day, and he naturally knew about Mu Qiong's new book writing.

"It's almost finished. By the way, I will go out to find information in the next few days, so I won't stay here with the Education Monthly." Mu Qiong said.

"Where are you going to find information?" Fu Yun'an asked.

"I'm going to the countryside to have a look, and then go to Huo Ershao's silk reeling factory." Mu Qiong said, he asked for a lot of information from others, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and what he wrote in the end could easily be untrue.

"I'll let the coachman follow you." Fu Yun'an said.

"No, I've already hired a carriage." Mu Qiong refused, and Fu Yun'an himself wanted to use a carriage.

Hearing what Mu Qiong said, Fu Yun'an no longer insisted.

Mu Qiong said again at this time: "Yun'an, do you want to rest for a while?"

Fu Yun'an is always very tired, so if Fu Yun'an doesn't go back to the hospital after dinner, Mu Qiong will let him sleep in the orphanage for a while.

"Yes." Fu Yun'an agreed.

There was a rattan reclining chair in the office. He found a blanket and laid it on, and then lay down and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because of the habit that Mu Qiong was writing, and he soon fell asleep amidst the "rustling" sound of Mu Qiong's writing.

The next day, after Mu Qiong sent Fu Yun'an to the hospital, he left the city.

The roads around Shanghai were quite good. The carriage carried Mu Qiong, and soon left the city. By noon, Mu Qiong had already seen a large area of ​​mulberry land.

At this time of year, almost no one is raising silkworms, but you can learn a lot from talking to the silkworm farmers in the countryside.

When Mu Qiong was looking for information, in the hospital, Mr. Smith's youngest daughter was much better.

She even wants to get out of bed and play.

The doctors in the hospital were not in the mood to work, and they all gathered around the little girl's hospital bed, looking excited at the little girl who was in good spirits.

"I didn't expect Xilin to actually exist!"

"Amazing!"

"This is a miracle!"

"Oh, God!"

……

People sighed, and at the same time remembered what Huo Ying said, this medicine can prevent wound infection.

"If our soldiers can have Xilin, they will definitely save a lot of casualties!"

"We must buy this medicine, and find a way to research it!"

"I'll go find Second Young Master Huo right away."

"I'm going to the consulate!"

"Don't let too many people know about this! The production of this medicine should not be much. If more people know about it, we may not be able to buy enough medicine!"

……

These people notified the consulates of their own countries, and at the same time, they did not disclose the news.

Possessing such a medicine is an extra life!They don't want to kill the Germans!

The foreigners in this hospital are from Britain and France, and they kept the news of Xilin tightly hidden.

They thought the Xilin was extremely precious, but they didn't know that at this time, someone came to Shanxi with many boxes of Xilin.

Dashuai Huo has been very angry recently. If it wasn't for this side not being able to do without him, he would have wanted to go to Shanghai.

At this time, he suddenly heard that his second son had sent a lot of things, and he said angrily: "No! Return it to me!"

"Dad, if you don't want it, then give it to me." Young Marshal Huo said, Young Marshal Huo already had his own troops, so he wished he could monopolize such a good thing.

"Do you know what he sent?" Huo Dashuai narrowed his eyes.

"I know, it's Xilin and the doctor." Young Marshal Huo said.

What Huo Ying sent them this time included some western medicine trained by them, as well as Xilin.

"Xilin?" Huo Dashuai thought for a while and said, "The one written in "I'm in a Hundred Years Later"?" I hope the monthly newspaper is published by myself, and he also reads it.

"Yes." Huo Shaoshuai said: ""Contagion" is over, and the plague in it was also cured by Xilin. The third brother developed this miraculous medicine with the help of others."

Huo Shaoshuai spared no effort to claim credit for his third brother.
