When Li Yu returned home, Uncle Wang immediately came up and said: "Sir, Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Commerce sent someone to come to you and said that the factory in the suburbs has been settled and the company's procedures have been completed. I am just waiting for you to come up with a name." Draw a pledge." Xu Shichang was indeed very efficient in his work, which was unbelievable under the circumstances of the late Qing Dynasty.
Li Yu immediately rode on his Sanhe horse and rushed to the Ministry of Commerce. Since the Ministry of Commerce is a newly established department, the office is relatively simple and there are not many buildings.
Li Yu bumped into Xu Shichang as soon as he entered the door.
"Master Xu!" Li Yu greeted him. Xu Shichang said: "You came quite quickly. Master Bei is also here today and came to the room to get documents." Xu Shichang said
"It's just right" because Zai Zhen doesn't often work here and leaves easily. Most of the things are actually left to his subordinates such as Xu Shichang, Wu Tingfang and Tang Wenzhi.
Zai Zhen just had the false reputation of being the top leader. There is nothing surprising. This was the case in the court in the late Qing Dynasty. The Aisin Gioros still led the situation in name only, but their actual power had long been ejected.
The key point is that no capable people will be born. If Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon are resurrected, they will probably be angry to death again.
——After all, even if you are alive, lying down is much more comfortable than standing. Since they had known each other for a long time, Zai Zhen had a very good attitude towards Li Yu and said to him: "Master Emperor, long time no see! Xu Zuocheng mentioned that you want to start a company, which is great! I just saw the documents he brought up. Your name was immediately stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Commerce." Of course Li Yu knew in his heart that he was just seeking convenience because he was unwilling to do things, but he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Beizi." Zai Zhen waved his hands: "We two Who is following who? Don’t even say you want to open one company, even if you open a hundred companies, I will give you my seal!” Li Yu couldn’t laugh or cry. This is not what a minister of the Ministry of Commerce should say. It’s just a human tactic.
Xu Shichang was much more reliable in his work. He handed the document to Li Yu: "All the procedures are fine, but you still need to sign the company name." Zai Zhen suddenly said: "Why don't we call it Dishi Company?" Domineering!" Li Yu had a black line on his face and could only say: "It's too ostentatious." Zai Zhen continued: "Then call it Daqing Academician Company." Li Yu: "..." No, we have to come up with a name quickly, Zai Zhentai Thinking of a name.
Li Yu's mind changed. He said, "Let's call it Lingyu." The name of his company in the United States is very simple, which is LY.
The first letter of "Lingyu" also happens to be LY. Xu Shichang hurriedly said: "Good name, sir, please sign it." Li Yu wrote the company name and signed his own name in quadruplicate. According to today's tradition, he also needs to take a fingerprint.
It’s just that there is no fingerprint recognition technology now, so I don’t know what the purpose of fingerprints is. Xu Shichang gave him two copies: "You still need to go to the Works Inspection Bureau in person and prepare the eucalyptus for them, and everything will be ready." The Works Inspection Bureau was the agency that managed the capital's street projects and public security in the late Qing Dynasty. If you want to work in the future, There are stores in the capital, and the Industrial Inspection Bureau also manages them, so their power is not small.
If Li Yu wanted to set up a laboratory, school, etc. in the capital, it would be much more convenient to have permission from the Industrial Inspection Bureau. Zai Zhen said: "The Industrial Inspection Bureau is under the rule of Prince Su. With my stamp, he will definitely let it go without even looking at it." Xu Shichang said to Li Yu: "What Mr. Bei Zi said is right, but you still have to personally Come over and show your face." They managed it very well.
Li Yu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!" During the period when Prince Su Shanqi was in charge of the Industrial Inspection Bureau, his greatest achievement should be the repair of Wangfujing Street and Dong'an Market, making Beijing the earliest commercial center.
Generally speaking, Prince Su is relatively better among the princes of the late Qing Dynasty. Li Yu once met Prince Su in a teahouse. Later, when he went to Japan to participate in the Quanye Expo, he also traveled with Prince Su's son Xian Zhang.
Nowadays, Li Yu is famous all over Europe and America. Even if Prince Su and others do not understand science, it does not prevent them from praising Li Yu.
When he arrived at the Industrial Inspection Bureau, Prince Su even walked out of the hall to greet him.
"Emperor!" Li Yu cupped his hands and said, "Prince Su. I am here because I have documents that need to be stamped by the Industrial Inspection Bureau."
"Hey!" Prince Su smiled and said,
"Put it aside, sir. It took a lot of effort to get here. I, the king, should fulfill my duty as a landlord no matter what. Come and sit in the room." Li Yu saw Kawashima Yoshiko's adoptive father, Kawashima Naniwa, when he entered the door.
Prince Su introduced him: "This is Mr. Kawashima Naniwa, a ronin from Japan, who is now the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department." Kawashima Naniwa served as the supervisor of the Forbidden City during the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China. It was through this position that he made He had the opportunity to get acquainted with the royal family members of the late Qing Dynasty - Prince Qing Yikuang and Prince Su Shanqi, and they became celebrities in the capital who were relied upon by all parties.
Kawashima Naniwa first suggested to Yi Kuang that he should refer to the Japanese Police Agency and establish a police system in the capital. Yi Kuang agreed and appointed him as the supervisor of the Beijing Police Academy, which is equivalent to the principal of the police school.
Later, Prince Su seconded him and became the boss of the newly established Capital Police Department. Kawashima Naniwa made many suggestions for this, such as classifying police into administrative police, traffic police, health police, water police, wind police, international police, etc.
It was even mentioned very early on to guard against integrity issues within the police force. It can be said to be quite comprehensive. But don't think that the imperial powers are doing it for our own good.
The Japanese have already calculated carefully. If they can control the capital police, it will not be too convenient to spy on intelligence in the future.
In international relations, there is no such thing as good without reason. Naniwa Kawashima said: "Mr. Li Yu, I have long admired your name." He actually knew Li Yu much better than Prince Su, Prince Qing and Zai Zhen, and there was no need for an introduction at all.
"Mr. Kawashima." Li Yu didn't need an introduction from Prince Su. Kawashima Naniwa said: "Sir, he is indeed extraordinary in appearance and possesses such high intelligence. He really gives me the ambition of an East Asian." Of course, Kawashima has been influenced by
The influence of the "Xingya Club" has the concept of the so-called Co-Prosperity Sphere in mind. The members of the Koyakai include many Japanese celebrities, such as Mitsubishi Chairman Iwasaki Yanosuke, Mitsui Zaibatsu General Manager Nakagawa Hikojiro, the Japanese royal family also joins, and there are also many navy and army generals.
Later it was merged into Dong-A Doubunkai, the predecessor of Dong-A Doubun Academy. From its origin, we can see the terrible background of Donga Dongwen Academy.
Li Yudan said: "Wisdom is a trait common to all human beings. Anyone anywhere may have excellent wisdom and advanced knowledge."
"No!" Kawashima Naniwa said,
"Some places are just stupid and ignorant, and cannot change, or are not enlightened. Today, the smartest people are still white people, but it will not take long for us Japanese to surpass the white people and become the representatives of the Far East." This guy said in a still tone. Really not small.
Li Yu glanced at Prince Su, and then said: "Mr. Kawashima, what you mean is that Japan will represent or even rule the Far East in the future?" Li Yu had made it very straightforward, but Prince Su did not understand the meaning of the words. .
Kawashima Naniwa was shocked and said quickly: "No, but it is not bad to be a vanguard." Li Yu smiled contemptuously in his heart and did not comment.
Kawashima Naniwa didn't expect Li Yu's eyes to be so vicious, and wanted to change the subject quickly, so he took out a newspaper on the table and said: "Mr.'s criticism of the Germans in the newspapers in the past two days has caused a worldwide uproar. I specially sent the article to the telex When the news came back to Japan, it was reported that many scholars in our country were full of praise for you. You really impressed me with your courage to confront Westerners." Li Yu said casually: "It's just a matter of reasoning." Kawashima Naniwa pointed at the newspaper. Said: "But Mr. De Cuiling didn't seem to be ready to give up. He wrote another article. Although I don't understand it very well, I can generally tell that it was based on the content related to the second law of thermodynamics that Mr. had previously published." The newspaper was "Beijing-Tianjin Times", the article is written in English.
Li Yu flipped through the newspaper and felt that this De Cuilin was really good at what he did, but the ax he brought this time was indeed a bit big. The newspaper wrote: "Mr. Li Yu originally made a name for himself with the expansion of the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy increase. However, Clausius, the originator of the second law of thermodynamics, once proposed that according to the law of entropy increase, the world will move toward death, which is the so-called heat death.
"Another great thinker, Engels, clearly opposed this conclusion, because according to the theory of heat death, the initial hot state as the starting point of cooling would not be explained or even understood. Therefore, the existence of God must be conceived. Newton's first The push became the first heat. He also believed that this would be another repetition of history, and Clausius would slip from metaphysics to idealism like Newton.
"As for Mr. Li Yu himself, he still insists on the theory of entropy increase. Isn't he also moving toward idealism? How can he raise the banner of science?" Engels did clearly oppose the heat death theory and wrote to Marx to discuss it personally.
The above people, including Hegel mentioned in De Cuilin’s previous article, are all Germans. Although De Cuilin does not study science, she seems to be quite familiar with Germany's scientific and ideological achievements. After all, it is also a capital for showing off and bragging.
Kawashima Naniwa said to Li Yu: "I think it's a difficult problem." Li Yu said with a smile: "No, Mr. De Cuilin obviously still wants to discuss it with me using his half-hearted scientific level. If it weren't for seeing what he published In the paper, I didn’t even bother to reply.”
"So, the Imperial Master saw the mistake at a glance?" Prince Su asked. Li Yu said: "Yes, and he can't be said to be full of loopholes. He is simply wrong." Prince Su said: "You are worthy of being the emperor's teacher! Now the whole country's reliance on science rests with you alone. Emperor's Master Why don't you reply as soon as possible, countless people are still waiting for you to defeat the Germans." Well, there are so many people watching the show.
But it can indeed boost national confidence.
