Chapter 77 Li Mengyang and Engels!

(Thank you for your support! The black car code will be updated. So what, please recommend it! Please collect it! Thank you!)

In fact, Li Mengyang was shocked for only a moment, because he immediately realized what the problem was, that is Wilde's novel, which is rich in "baby love"!

So how can this be done?

Li Mengyang really doesn’t make a big deal!

But it is hard to explain now, this... It seems that sometimes plagiarism comes at a price.↖

However, Irena spoke again without expectation.

"Do you know why I dare to approach you?"

"I don't know." Li Mengyang shook his head.

"Because I want to confirm this, I saw you guy, paying attention to that Swedish. Don't you even let such an old drunkard go?" As soon as Ilena finished speaking, she immediately laughed.

"..." Li Mengyang was so embarrassed. Such a beautiful woman told him that she liked men.

However, Li Mengyang cared about another thing very much, "Do you know who he is?"

"Gee..." Elena smiled, quite bad. "Our DuPont family, who is doing business with the army, how can we not know a big celebrity like John Erikson? Even if he has been removed from the Navy."

"Hmm?" Li Mengyang knew the name of this person, but why did he say he was a famous person? Ilena's words obviously mean something else.

"You don't know? That's what happened more than ten years ago. This Eriksen is very powerful. He invented the propeller..."

"He invented it?" When Li Mengyang heard of this propeller, he was killed at that time. Because this invention was so important, which ships in later generations were not used for propellers? It turned out that this guy was just such an old drunkard?

"Haha, I'll tell you slowly that he invented the propeller, which is right, but later, he started to study the cannons. He wanted to get the double-track in the cannon. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Irena continued, "I didn't expect that he had made the cannon that was back on the line, but an accident occurred and several people were killed. At that time, Secretary of State Upshul and Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gilmore, all died under his cannon! Haha, before the enemy was hit, they were blown to death, and they were all high-ranking officials! Hahaha..."

At this moment, Li Mengyang understood everything. The previous conversation could be explained, and even Li Mengyang could imagine the scene.

In the early years, people invented propellers, which was a great success, and naturally became energetic. Then they used cannons, but unexpectedly, causing such a huge loss. Those who died were all big men. How could others view his invention?

"I also know his new ship." The beauty Elena is very well-informed.

"What kind of ship is that?" Li Mengyang's interest came immediately. In fact, the reason why he came to this party was to build a boat.

"That's a monster!"

"ah?"

How can Li Mengyang not be confused?

Immediately afterwards, Elena described it, and Li Mengyang understood, why is it not a monster?

It was a ship with a hull below the waterline, and it was an armored ship!

New York is a harbor, but Li Mengyang has never seen an iron armored ship. Although he knows that this kind of metal ship is the future development trend, it is not now, and Eriksen actually made it out, this...

Talent! Absolute talent!

But why is the hull still below the waterline? Li Mengyang is a little confused about this matter, but there is nothing left. Talents, we have to find opportunities...

"Through the words just now, I can confirm that you don't like men. You are definitely a sweet guy who likes to lie to girls!" Finally, Ilena gave Li Mengyang this definition.

"God testifies! I am just showing my gentlemanly demeanor." Well, at this time, Li Mengyang brought out the great god of God.

"Haha, don't explain, the more you explain, the more you make me sure!" Elena said that her brain was very good, "But, your joke sounds very good, and I like it."

"Oh." Li Mengyang was really a little confused about the woman Yilena, but there were even more things that could not be understood.

"I like people very much, too!"

"ah?"

"Hahahaha..." Li Mengyang, who looked stupid, left, and Yilena left.

"How come I just met a strange woman?" Li Mengyang couldn't help but think of Eleanor, as if these foreign girls were a little abnormal.

Speaking of Eleanor, of course, she wouldn't come to such a party, but she was not idle either. She is now in the photo studio.

"Okay! Madam, sir, your photos have been taken."

"Oh, thank you!"

"ha!"

Madam, sir?

At this time, the person who took the photo with Eleanor was a very old white man and had a big beard. His image would later be known to countless Chinese people because he would appear in the corridor of the school, and he was Engels!

Engels?!Why did he come to the United States?

Li Mengyang invited it!

You should know that in October 1858, the New York Tribune published his articles. At this time, Li Mengyang saw it, so he thought of a book. He felt that he could write it accordingly and then let Mr. Engels take a look.

The book that Li Mengyang thought of is called "The Situation of the Working Class in the UK"!

And the book he wrote was called "The State of the Working Class in the United States"!

Why do you think of the book "The Situation of the Working Class in the UK"?

Because this book is really good, very good!

Many people don’t know that many people, Li Mengyang’s later generations, have too many people. When they hear Marxism, **, their faces are not good-looking, either laughing or that. They think this thing is too much, but they just don’t believe it anyway... In fact, most of these people have never read related works.

In this work by Engels, on Douban in later generations, the place where freshness, high profile, and scolding a large organization is the mainstream, the book's rating is above 9 points, and few of them are higher than it.

This book is really well written. It is a true portrayal of British workers in the 1840s. It is also a profound sociological work. It is really a subtle meaning and analyzes the entire capitalist society of Britain very thoroughly.

In fact, many people in Europe are studying this book, not only now but also later generations, but Li Mengyang also knew that in 1892, this book was released in English and sold in the United States, but the result was.

It sold out almost instantly!

Moreover, in 1892, Mr. Engels specifically said something in the preface to this book, that is, the situation of British workers at that time was much better than in the 1840s. He had some of his plans back then, but despite this, he still sold out.

In this book, Engels saw an important historical reality, that is, the impact of China's portal being opened on the world.

The article published in the New York Tribune in October 1858 also focused on the huge impact of China's trade on the entire capitalist society in the world.

So, Li Mengyang got in touch with him. He has experienced so many things from the west, contacted so many workers, Chinese workers, Irish people, and the abolition movement... What should we not write about these things?

So there was a book called "The Situation of the Working Class in the United States". In this book, Li Mengyang mainly wrote about the question of Chinese workers. Why did the Chinese trade unions come to the United States? On the one hand, it was the oppression of the Qing government, on the other hand, it was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, and on the economic level, that is, the impact of the "foreign goods" on the traditional Chinese handicraft economy, that is, the destruction of the small peasant economy.

The most obvious one is the "foreign cloth". Many people actually don't know the reality of the old Chinese society, that is, the land problem, because most people have no land and the land is too concentrated, which leads to the land rent of the land very high, which is so high that we can't imagine now. Later generations of the Democratic Party defeated the treasure island. There was a "Three-Seven-Five Reform" that means that the land rent cannot be higher than 37.5%. Chen Cheng, the promoter of this reform, was called the great savior by the locals. In other words, the rent in the past was definitely higher than this, and it was much higher. This was the case in the old Chinese society.

Because this "Three Seven Five Reform" is the first land reform of the Democratic Party. Although the Prime Minister's Three Principles of the People have equal land rights, it is a pity that they have never dared to touch the land for so many years.

So, so much food for farming has been taken away, what is the subsidy for the family? It depends on weaving cloth by yourself, which is an important source of income for a family. In fact, this has been happening since ancient times, and even customs have been formed, such as the one who married a husband should let his husband see his "female red" because of what? In the past, those who sold embroidery.

To put it bluntly, the old society families were actually ‘dual employees’.

But once the "foreign cloth" comes in, it's over. The income is gone, and foreign cloth is cheap!

This is an important factor and an important factor that changes the entire Chinese society.

Li Mengyang naturally wrote this in, and also mainly wrote about the contradiction between Chinese workers and workers of other ethnic groups, and why, as well as the deep reasons in it. This is a very profound social problem.

Of course, there are some experiences and personal analysis of the abolition movement, so Li Mengyang naturally used relatively complete theories from later generations.

I sent some manuscripts to Engels, and the result was very interesting. According to Engels himself, he just slapped his thighs at that time, and he wrote very well!

After all, Engels didn't understand the reality of China. He could know that the opening of a commercial port, that China has a population of 400 million, and that China has a vast territory. But how did he know about the economic situation of Chinese society and what the society is like?

With Clint Lee's work, the whole world is complete and connected together, and a complete economic and social system can be formed!

So, can a great mentor not pat his thigh?

So I'm going to meet Clint Lee, a great writer who is famous in Europe and the United States, thanks to a novel.

Isn't this good?

Li Mengyang had already met Engels and had a photo taken. When the two of them chatted, they were quite speculative.

After that, Engels came to the United States, which was also a grand event in the literary and artistic circles. So many celebrities came, such as Thoreau, who was actually a fantasy socialist, so he could naturally talk about it with Engels.

Engels regretted it, why didn't he bring his old partner Marx?

So why is Eleanor receiving it now?

It’s just because of one thing, translation!

Simply put, Li Mengyang's own book is easy to deal with, and he also wants to publish Engels's book "The State of the Working Class in the UK" in the United States.

I know that I will sell books that are so popular now, but the opportunity is so good? Wouldn't you do this business?

But there are problems here, translation issues, that book is in German.

This is the case with Eleanor. Didn’t Eleanor know Chinese English? In fact, she can also speak some Old English. Many people don’t know that Old English is actually related to German, and it’s quite a big deal.
Chapter completed!
