1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Although her father asked her to do more for Chinese women, what exactly should she do to change the current low status of Chinese women?

But this Jiangnan beauty was not angry because she was refuted. She said softly: "Then, sir, I guess you know what politics and law are?" "Of course I know."

"Please give me some advice, sir."

"Politics is me playing tricks on you two, but not only did you not notice, you even respectfully asked me for advice, completely forgetting what you were asking in the first place."

Ma Jue was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Did you initially ask yourself, “What is politics?”

The question is clearly, “Why do you say that studying politics and law is arrogant and inhumane?”

Good guy, I was led astray without realizing it.

Lu Xun finally couldn't help it and patted "Mark" on the back: "Is it fun for you, a political veteran, to tease two inexperienced college students?"

"You know nothing! A silly college girl with a clear look in her eyes is so much fun to tease!"

"You, you, I really don't know how you got to this position..."

"P

Ma Jue was not that stupid woman like Yuta Xinzi. She had already sensed something unusual from these two sentences. She had some guesses in her mind and asked cautiously:

"Mr. Zhou, who exactly is this..."

"Ahem...Ma Jue, let me formally introduce you. This is Fujiwara Kanezane, um, the Fujiwara Kanezane you all know."

“! ! ! ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, the two sisters of the Ma family were completely stunned.

Even someone as calm as Ma Jue could never have imagined that the dignified "Hachimangu Kanezane-no-Ou," the ruler of the Northeast, would be like this!

Fujiwara no Kanezane, the Japanese prince who invaded the entire Northeast China and yet whom most Chinese people find hard to hate, is a hot topic of discussion at Peking University.

However, due to the lack of public information, people can only speculate and say all sorts of things, even saying he has "mysterious spells that can charm people"...

Everyone knew that Fujiwara Kanezane was very young, but no one expected that he would be such a person who would not feel out of place among the group of Peking University students.

哎?

correct!

He just said his name was "Mark"!

It turned out to be a lie again!

"Okay, okay, Brother Xun, there's no His Majesty Hachiman Palace today, only Mark."

Fujiwara no Kanezane broke the silence and the deadlock with a smile:

"Alright, alright, don't be nervous. I don't hit or eat anyone. I'm not the protagonist in Xun Ge'er's diary."

"You've become the protagonist. My diary entries for the past six months have almost all been about you."

"Eh...are you really a gay? That's disgusting." "So what does 'gay' even mean?!"

".."

Xun brother...

Seeing the two men of such a huge age difference bickering, Ma Jue couldn't help but laugh. The tension that had just risen in his heart completely disappeared, and he regained his initial composure.

"Your Highness...Mr. Mark, Mr. Zhou, are you really planning to make me the princess?"

Even when talking about his marriage, Ma Jue remained very calm.

Malu and the other man looked at each other, and the latter sighed:

"I don't know if he thinks so, but I do think so. Even though he's Japanese, even though he has a bad personality, even though... cough cough cough... he's indeed someone worthy of trust..."

You talk about everything, good or bad, but don’t mention his identity, status, or wealth... Ma Jue blinked, thinking.

"...The only problem is that he doesn't seem to have any interest in getting married, so I just want you two young people to get to know each other. Even if it doesn't work out, being friends would definitely be nice..."

"Sir, don't you want to get married? Then..."

Ma Jue ignored the "get to know each other" and pointed to three long lines not far away:

"So what's the point of that concubine selection event that Northeast China has been promoting so heavily since last year? Could it be that they're just playing a trick on everyone else, just like they're playing a trick on me?"

Everyone followed the finger and saw three awnings in front of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, with the words "Princess Candidate Registration Office/Princess Selection Consultation Office/Preliminary Selection Appeal Office" written on them.

In front of each awning stood a queue no less than a hundred meters long. Most of the people in the queue looked like servants, but there were also some well-dressed middle-aged people and young women with outstanding temperament and good looks.

Among these young women, those who are obviously of East Asian descent make up the majority, but there are still quite a few blonde, blue-eyed white women!

Obviously, after Fujiwara no Kanezane announced "no restrictions on selecting a concubine", the whole of East Asia was in an uproar, and even Southeast Asia and India heard about it.

"Little girl, you're still trying to get clothes! You're just too naive!"

Fujiwara Kanezane laughed and said:

“So, this is politics!”

He's two years younger than me, but why does he speak like a middle-aged man like Mr. Zhou?

Ma Jue muttered a few words in his heart.

"politics?"

"Yes, politics, Xiao Ma, do you know how many registration forms we have received so far, and how many people have brought their families to Shenyang?"

Fujiwara Kanezane extended his right hand:

"There were 8,000 applications. In the past six months alone, no fewer than 60,000 migrants chose to stay in Shenyang or nearby for a long period of time, and even more for a short stay."

In the Qing Dynasty and Japan, such "concubine selection activities" actually existed, but the scope was limited from the beginning, and "ordinary families" could not even think about it;

Therefore, when Fujiwara no Kanezane's "no limits" policy came out, a large number of women who hoped to change their fate by choosing a concubine, or men who hoped to climb up Fujiwara no Kanezane's relationship and take their family to the next level, were tempted;

What if, what if His Majesty Hachiman-no-Miya takes a fancy to me/my daughter/niece? Even if he doesn't, it would be a good thing to have a good relationship with him.

"so what?"

Ma Jue blinked, still not quite understanding: "Does it mean you are very charming?"

"Fool, fool, 8000 registration forms... That means at least 8,000 families are willing to support me, or at least have this inclination. What a huge political resource that is, do you understand?"

This time, Ma Jue finally realized the power of this move!

A piece of news that cost nothing was released, and in return, it gained the support and favor of Fujiwara no Kanezane from a full 8,000 families, and a considerable number of them must have been members of the social elite. What a bargain!

They even used this opportunity to attack other Chinese forces, such as the Kuomintang...hiss...

Ma Jue looked at Fujiwara Kanezane with horror in his eyes:

Is this a politician?

Even your own marriage has to be calculated so clearly?

"Not only that, do 60,000 people have to pay for food, drink, and toileting in Shenyang? Can this boost the city's economy? What if we guide them to visit surrounding areas?"

"I barely spent a cent and attracted a group of tourists with significant spending power. This allowed businesses and the people of the Republic to profit and even become wealthy from this concubine selection event. Do you think this is important?"

yes!

The Ma Jue sisters recalled the scenes they had just seen while shopping in places like the "Queen's Department Store" and nodded repeatedly.

It is true that many men and women spend money lavishly on all kinds of shopping, making people like them, who come from relatively good middle-class families, terrified.

This... is equivalent to turning the imperial concubine selection event into a money-making activity to "promote consumption"? Can you even think of this level?

"...These people are visiting here. As long as we manage them well and do our job well, they will definitely have a great impression of the Five-Star Oriental Republic. So, won't they become my free promoters?"

"Among so many people, there must be a few talented individuals, right? There must be a few willing to take root and invest in Northeast China, right? If I do a little screening, won't that complete my mission of attracting talent and investment?"

"

"Why choose a concubine? Of course, it's because it can easily spark heated discussions and attract even those who aren't interested in politics!"

"As long as everyone starts paying attention to this, it will spread to other areas... My ideals, my theories, my actions, without any deliberate promotion, people will study and learn about them, and thus inspire more people..."

After listing the "benefits" one by one, Ma Jue finally understood that the so-called "selection of concubines" was not what many people thought, "Fujiwara no Kanezane was lustful and extravagant"!

This is a political activity that can bring countless benefits to the Northeast! It turns out that this is real politics!

It’s not those boring definitions in the textbooks, but a real game of interests and resource integration!

Ma Jue couldn't help but admire Fujiwara no Kanezane wholeheartedly:

"I'm so grateful, sir. Your way of thinking is truly unique. This lesson is much more interesting than what the teachers taught. I now understand why you said we were 'high and mighty and inhumane.'"

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

"Because we don't consider the actual needs of the country and the people when we consider issues, and fail to represent their fundamental interests, our work becomes completely empty talk, lacking both practical application and groundedness."

Fujiwara Kanezane raised an eyebrow.

Although this girl is a bit straightforward and not very suitable for politics, she is indeed very insightful, good-tempered, humble and cautious.

Northeast China really needs such talents.

Perhaps because of the example of Hata Nobuko, Fujiwara no Kaneki now likes Ma Jue more and more, and she looks like a fairy (not in a derogatory sense).

Otherwise, who should we get to join us?

No, no, no, how can you say "birthday"?

It is clearly to replenish the necessary fresh blood for the Republic.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under Fujiwara Kanezane's gaze, the little girl blushed and said shyly: "Sir, you..."

At this moment, an excited and puzzled voice suddenly sounded: "Xiao Jue! Why are you here!"

532 lick dog, give me gold coins!

When Yang Guanbao, a clerk at Tianjin Customs, saw his beloved appear at the "Princess Selection Registration Office" as rumored, his heart was broken.

After years of pursuing this Peking University beauty, spending tens of thousands of dollars and exhausting countless efforts, he still couldn't resist the allure of power and the helplessness of reality...

No wonder she was clearly attracted to him before, but suddenly became cold at the end of last year.

That's right, the "Queen" must naturally be paired with the "Emperor". "Ah...Brother Yang..."

Seeing this man who almost became her husband in a fit of rage, Ma Jue inexplicably felt guilty and remorseful even though she had done nothing wrong to him.

This classmate and good friend of her elder brother Ma Xun was indeed pursuing her with great devotion—he would rush from Tianjin to Peking every week to visit her, bringing various small gifts, maintaining an unwavering passion while also being polite and never crossing the line;

Because she was moved at the time, and because the situation was too chaotic and she wanted a peaceful and quiet life, and because there were rumors circulating on campus that "Ma Jue and Lu Xun were having an affair," she did plan to marry Yang Guanbao.

However, even Ma Jue herself didn't know what she was thinking. After the domestic situation continued to change dramatically, the idea of ​​getting married gradually faded. Finally, at the end of last year, when Yang Guanbao tentatively proposed to her, she tactfully expressed her refusal.

how to say?

It wasn't that she disliked Yang Guanbao, a man with a cheerful personality, a wide range of interests, a good family background, and good talents in all aspects. It was just that she didn't feel like falling in love for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he still didn't give up and chased all the way here. Perhaps it was another tip from his brother?

"Yang...Brother Yang, aren't you still at work? Why are you here?" "I came here because I heard you were here."

Yang Guanbao said bitterly:

"Xiaojue, are you also planning to run for the princess? Ah, yes, with your beauty, you will surely surpass all the other beauties."

"Uh..."

Ma Jue glanced at Fujiwara Kanezane and shook his head:

"No, I didn't plan to sign up at all. I just came to Shenyang with my father for some personal matters."

Although she admired Fujiwara no Kanezane, there was no emotional foundation between them, and she had no interest in a political marriage into a wealthy family, so it was naturally impossible for her to sign up.

"Um??"

Yang Guanbao was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed! It turned out that he was not here to "register for the competition"!

He knew Ma Jue disdained to lie, so it must be true!

That means I still have a chance!

However, the look that Ma Jue gave Fujiwara Kanezane suddenly set off the alarm in Yang Guanbao's heart. Then he looked at the target's height and appearance, and saw that Lu Xun, the rumored "ambiguous object" of Ma Jue, was next to him, which made him even more alert.

He first greeted Lu Xun, then cautiously probed: "Xiao Jue, this is..."
