Chapter 1053 Welcome to the Information Age

Qinghe Middle School's graduation exam this year was held a month earlier than originally scheduled, and Wang Yunxiao almost missed it.

This is certainly not because Principal Zhou gave him any special treatment as he was preparing to quit his job and go solo, but because of the change in the social environment.

With the arrival of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Tianmen City, with a permanent population of 1.5 million, actually experienced a labor shortage problem within just a few months.

Factories sprang up one after another and construction began at an unprecedented speed.

The salary standard for all high-quality talents - to be precise, talents with primary school graduation or above - has doubled in the past two months. Some factories even posted recruitment advertisements directly at the school gates.

Xingguo Bank issued a large number of interest-free loans, which injected a shot of chicken blood into the rapidly growing urban economy.

The prices of goods on the market change three times a week. If the government had not introduced policies to forcibly control food prices, there might have been a terrifying situation where food prices skyrocketed.

The school had to close early because many parents had already found their children well-paid jobs that were unimaginable in the past, and they are now eager to start work.

Wang Yunxiao was in school and did not feel the changes in society deeply, but he could tell from the various news in the newspapers that the current situation was not normal.

The first domestically produced radio was launched.

The first generation of radios were about half the size of a refrigerator. They were very bulky and difficult to move, and were still a novelty for the Chinese people.

In the past, even if you bought it from foreign countries, you could only put it at home to show off, because there were no radio stations in the country.

Now Tianmen City also has its own radio station, which is a wireless radio station affiliated to the Tianmen City Transportation Bureau. It broadcasts various overseas pop music and current affairs news in a loop from 8 am to 7 pm every day.

It was clearly written in the newspaper that it was built with foreign investment.

After all, at that time, domestic universities had not even established radio majors, and the few overseas students were all absorbed by the military.

From the equipment to the team, everything about this radio station comes from Sefer, across the ocean.

He also gave his radio channel a nice name, called Voice of Tianmen.

In addition, the school has also added a new magazine publication that has just been launched.

The cover of this magazine, called "Huanyu", is printed in color, and the contents are varied and quite exciting, including various essays, serial novels, humorous jokes, biographies... and even comics.

A comic with the "Red Lotus Mother", a legendary woman from modern Tianmen, as the protagonist.

He was the legendary leader of the Red Lantern Society, a legendary hero who led local women to burn churches and kill foreigners before he became the president.

Later, she disappeared for various reasons, and there was a rumor that she was murdered by the Jinyiwei.

However, this rumor did not have much of a market and was difficult to convince the general public, because the Red Lantern Society had been active in the streets of Tianmen for decades and was only publicly announced to disband last year. A more widely known rumor is that the Red Lotus Mother crossed the ocean and reopened a temple and set up a branch altar in Saifu on the other side of the ocean. The locals called her the Bodhisattva of Reception and she created an overseas underworld to guide the souls of overseas wanderers back home.

This story is also passed down by many overseas immigrants. Foreigners call this goddess "Angelica, the Angel of the Underworld" and believe that carrying her talisman can protect their safety at sea.

This comic series is called "Legend of Red Lotus" and it begins with the story of a peasant uprising that broke out fifty years ago and almost swept across the country.

All I can say is that this comic was launched too late. If it had been serialized a year earlier, Mephisto wouldn't have been ruined to the point where he was left with nothing.

Not to mention this foreign demon lord, even many of his own countrymen have only a vague understanding of this period of history, or even know nothing about it, and have no idea what the Heavenly King Cult is all about.

There are also those who are ignorant and unlearned, who can't even tell the difference between the Red Lotus Mother and the President, and only know that they are both women. When they hear others discussing the Red Lotus Mother, they start to imagine strange scenes in their minds, and then run to the government to report and expose...

The first chapter of the comic tells the story of how the imperial court was corrupt, which led to the proliferation of tooth fragments. The imperial envoy then went south to ban opium, which affected the interests of local wealthy clans, leading to collusion between the inside and the outside, foreigners knocking on the country's door, and signing a humiliating contract.

The people of Tianmen are relatively familiar with this period of history. After all, the storytelling of the three major cases has been circulated for many years, so it is only briefly mentioned.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed. The rampant disease in the south became more and more serious. Officials and gentry colluded to force villagers to plant poisonous weeds on good farmland. Grain production gradually decreased. Natural disasters and man-made disasters devastated thousands of miles. The world was in decline and people were living in misery.

Thus, from the poor mountains and bad waters of Guizhou, there lived a poor scholar who realized the great truth from the Western Gospels, received the will of heaven, called himself the eldest son of God, and founded a new religion.

The Protestants gathered villagers, attacked the state capital, recruited soldiers, and their momentum grew stronger and stronger until they crossed states and counties and overthrew the Southern Kingdom. This was the massive rebellion of the Tianwang Sect at that time.

The reason why Mephisto's ritual magic failed was because this local leader occupied the position that originally belonged to the "Son of God", and he had also ascended the throne in the past and was blessed by the dragon vein of national destiny.

Has higher legend and adaptability locally.

The comic used two or three pages to briefly introduce the process of the Tianwang Sect from its birth to its growth and development, and finally its decline. During the heyday of the Tianwang Sect, two expeditionary forces were sent to attack the Central Plains and the Qilu region respectively, but they both failed for various reasons.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed. A team of Western missionaries went deep into Jinzhou, wanting to find the holy relics left behind by the Western Expedition Army. However, because they were unfamiliar with the local customs and practices, they accidentally released the Western Expedition Army's vanguard demon general who was suppressed in Taihang Mountains.

Ten years have passed and the world has changed dramatically. Everything and everyone is no longer the same.

When the demon general learned that the Divine Religion had been destroyed, he was disheartened and wanted to hide in the mountains. However, before leaving, he sensed the blood of an old friend and rescued a young girl from a brothel. The girl turned out to be the offspring of a general of the Northern Expedition, who had been abducted and sold here after being displaced.

This is the original origin of the Red Lotus Mother.

The subsequent story, in simple terms, is that after growing up, Our Lady of Red Lotus returns to Tianmen to look for her relatives. Seeing the Japanese invaders bullying women and children by taking advantage of their power, she takes action in anger and establishes the Red Lantern Society to fight wits and courage with Western missionaries.

Because of his merits in saving people, he moved heaven and was guided by the Goddess of Heaven in a dream. He traveled across the ocean alone to seek the true scriptures from the West.

It contains a lot of information, and they are all new stories that the old Tianmen people have never heard of before, so it became a hit from the beginning. It is said that the book is hard to find on the market, and the reprint is still sold out.
