Chapter 260
The Japanese are still willing to send this document to the mayor of Feng’s residence so that they can cross the road, has been considered “respect” for the Chinese government.
But regardless of the mayor of Feng and their promise or not, the Japanese side has already begun to sell rice, the people already know that you can buy rice from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce to buy food, when the Japanese proposed the good citizen certificate, they are also more likely to accept it.
Because if they don’t accept it, they won’t have any grain, so what’s the problem with having a seemingly harmless document?
Mayor Feng knew very well that there was nothing he could do to stop this.
Because he couldn’t turn out grain.
Even if he had grain, it would not be for the people to eat, but would be sent first to those troops who could protect him.
So Mayor Feng does not even feel the need to discuss this, directly to Su Chunjun, so that he returned a suitably worded letter of reply can be, the general purpose is not to agree with the Japanese.
The general purpose is not to agree with the Japanese, but also not to refuse.
The translation of Japanese documents did not take much time, but the letter of reply wasted Miss Zhu did not know how many brain cells. She and Su Chunjun two people to the generation of Professor and Zhu family all the collection of books as the bottom line, and managed to come up with a fairly reasonable reply to the letter.
That is to say, they put together a piece of nonsense.
The nonsense to write a grandiose, words to penetrate the Japanese respect and admiration, but also to express the unyielding spirit of Mayor Feng and the willingness to treat the warmth of the courtesy.
After writing this one, Zhu Yuyan only feel empty.
She said a big truth: “I think politics is how to say nonsense.”
Su Chunjun: “Politics is the art of making nonsense sound good.”
This document exchange can be summarized in two sentences each.
Japanese: I’m going to rule the Chinese gradually, you must agree.
Mayor Feng’s residence: I dare not have an opinion, just make me look good.
Su Chunjun went to work on time the next day and handed both documents to Mayor Feng.
Cai Wenhua pretended to take it over and read it, then put it down and said with a smile, “Little Su this is written by yourself, or did you hire a master? It doesn’t look like your handwriting to me.”
Su Chunjun smiled faintly, “I asked the second young lady to look up the dictionary for me, and we both wrote it together. Her handwriting has always been better than mine, and this is the one she re-copied, but I couldn’t even pinch the pen anymore.”
Cai Wenhua teeth sour, sigh: “Alas, I am not as good luck as Xiao Su, there is such a learned and talented wife.”
Other people don’t know, Mayor Feng is able to read through Japanese and English, he also knows a little Portuguese. But usually he used the through translation, never speaking or doing it himself. Now he also just carefully read the translated Chinese version, the Japanese version swept a few eyes and put it down.
Mayor Feng smiled and said, “Little Su did a good job. Wenhua ah, you take it and send it to the Japanese.”
Cai Wenhua took the two documents and left.
Mayor Feng removed his glasses and pointed to Su Chunjun to the sofa in front of him, “Little Su, sit.”
Su Chunjun sat down.
After Su Chunjun confessed that he didn’t have access to the auction, Mayor Feng never mentioned it again, but he wasn’t dead in the water because recently Mrs. Feng has been trying on dresses in her house every day with the door closed, and the tailor is still the one Mrs. Shao led in.
No one was too surprised that Mrs. Shao was able to return so soon.
Mrs. Feng is a descendant of Beijing’s nobility and can barely be called a child of the Eight Banners. Although she escaped with Mayor Feng before the fall of Beijing, she still did not forget her family’s honor, and never refused to wear foreign dresses and clothes.
Now suddenly changed his temper, Su Chunjun guessed, most likely Feng mayor requirements.
Mayor Feng has found the doorway, and may have already bought the proof of knighthood, which is why he wants Mrs. Feng to modify.
Cai Wenhua’s home is still the same pithy, can’t tell if there is a back door.
None of this has anything to do with Su Chunjun.
Last time, Mayor Feng hinted that he felt Zhu Yuyan was very capable, just now advocating women’s participation in social labor, and he was willing to give Zhu a chance, asking Su Chunjun whether he would block his fiancée’s advancement.
Of course, Su Chunjun would not stop her, but he also did not think that Mayor Feng would still say these words after seeing the real Miss Zhu Er.
You should know that Miss Zhu has met Mayor Feng twice, and she has always behaved in an elegant and ladylike manner, which is why she has called Mayor Feng to misunderstand her. With the style of Miss Zhu’s boldness and courage to come to the Mayor Feng’s residence as long as one day is enough to make her go home and eat her own.
This time, he borrowed Miss Zhu’s hand to translate a document, and Miss Zhu said “politics is nonsense”, so next time, even if Mayor Feng invites her face to face, I’m afraid that Miss Zhu won’t comply with it.
This place is not as free and open as the school, it is the most closed, the most mechanical, the most unfeeling and the most helpless world.
Instead of letting Ms. Zhu be stuck in the paperwork here, it would be better to let her stay in the school and be free.
Mayor Feng let Su Chunjun go about his business after speaking some nonsense with him and expressing his praise for him.
After a couple of days, the Good Citizen Certificate issue finally reached the school.
Naturally, everyone in the school is a good citizen, the Japanese are very willing to give the school teachers and students one person issued a certificate of good citizenship, do not need to apply for their own, the Japanese directly drove a car a few large boxes of good citizenship certificates sent.
It was delivered right in front of Principal Tang.
Mr. Yamamoto didn’t come today, it was his adjutant who came.
This adjutant’s Chinese wasn’t as good as Yamamoto’s, speaking in a hard accent and popping out word for word.
“Principal Tang, this is the certificate of good citizenship given to the Chinese by the Empire of Japan. Tell your students to fill in their names and put them away properly, if they don’t have a Good Citizen Certificate, they won’t even be able to go out on the streets or have food in the future.” This Japanese Major said.
Tang Jiuling looked at the table box neatly good citizen certificate on the large Chinese characters “good citizen certificate”, a long time speechless.
Fortunately, this Japanese Major also do not need to Tang principal to say a flower, he also do not think the Chinese people dare to resist. After he finished, he stood up: “Do you remember? Don’t forget.”
Principal Tang woodenly got up after him, sent the Japanese away, and came back and hid in his cousin’s room until night.
Then, he quietly called Professor Dai and Zhu Yanshu, as well as the remaining professors and teachers in the school.
In the principal’s office, everyone gathered around the several boxes of good citizen certificates on the table, quiet as a tomb.
Principal Tang quietly said, “Let’s run.”
–This was something he had wanted to say back when he heard that Mr. Tan had been sent to prison, and now he had finally said it!
