After returning to Shanghai, Lin Zixuan got the latest news about the war between the Jiangsu warlords and the Zhejiang warlords.

Although both sides have not mobilized troops on a large scale, the people in Shanghai are already panic.

Many wealthy businessmen who originally lived in China moved into the concession, while others left Shanghai. People from all walks of life in Shanghai called on both sides to maintain restraint and handle the dispute peacefully.

Britain and France mobilized warships and strengthened troops and defense facilities at the border between the concession and the Chinese border.

Japan also used this as an excuse to drive the warships in the Bohai Bay to the Huangpu River, thus giving them their own troops in Shanghai.

According to the news Feng Jingyao received from the French, this war is probably inevitable, and there may be Western forces behind it.

The only good news is that the main battlefield of the war should be in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Even if you reach Shanghai, you will not be able to enter the concession. As long as you are careful and stay in the concession, you will be safe and secure.

However, once the war begins and the chaos will affect Shanghai's public security and business environment, various businesses will stop, and a large number of refugees will influx, and these problems need to be solved effectively.

While calling for peace, the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce summoned wealthy businessmen in Shanghai to contribute money and efforts to prepare for the upcoming war.

In fact, there are different voices in the business community in Shanghai.

There are Jiangsu business districts that tend to be Jiangsu warlords, and Zhejiang business districts that support Zhejiang warlords. Behind the warlords are financially supported by wealthy businessmen and gentry from all over the world. Otherwise, how could the warlords afford so many troops?

Now Shanghai is dominated by the warlords of Zhejiang, so Zhejiang merchants are developing very smoothly in Shanghai.

This made Jiangsu businessmen feel unbalanced. Many Jiangsu businessmen still hoped that Jiangsu's army would come quickly and occupy Shanghai. From then on, Shanghai will be the world of Jiangsu business district.

The Lin family’s home business is in Wuxi and naturally belongs to a member of the Jiangsu business district.

After Lin Zixuan figured out the whole thing, he felt relieved.

Westerners attach great importance to the concession. They invest a lot of financial and material resources in the concession and never want to be destroyed by a war. Once the war is out of control, they will intervene in mediation, so the concession is the last refuge in Shanghai.

He originally wanted to take refuge in other places, but Feng Chengcheng was nine months pregnant and should not run long distances.

After reassurance, Lin Zixuan remembered his experience in Peking. He was scolded by a group of literati and had no power to fight back.

His hasty departure this time was considered by many Peking literati to flee in a hurry, and they proudly declared their victory.

I really can't bear this tone.

Lin Zixuan found Pingqianya and prepared to publish a tabloid with four pages, called "Cultural Review", which specifically published articles to scold those literati in Peking.

Of course, the matter of cultural people cannot be called scolding, but debate.

For example, when a cultural person calls others a fool, he will not say that directly. Instead, he will say that the person has a low IQ.

Just as Kong Yiji said, stealing books cannot be considered stealing. Can scholars’ affairs be considered stealing?

Ping Jinya understood the boss's instructions, and he knew Lin Zixuan's experience in Peking, and he felt very uneasy. Isn't this not to take our talented men from the south seriously?

Since ancient times, talented men have emerged in Jiangnan. They are a place of cultural heritage, while the north is considered a place of cultural wilderness.

Ping Banya used this to mobilize his friends around him. We southern literati cannot be bullied by northern literati like this. Isn’t it just because we rely on how many people are, and there are also many of us.

There is already a gap between the southern cultural circles and the northern cultural circles. Now, with the Lin Zixuan as an excuse, it has aroused everyone's fighting spirit. Isn't it just a swearing, and there is any difficulty for scholars.

It also allows northern literati to see what the art of swearing is, and there is absolutely no dirty word in the whole article.

As a result, various swearing articles were released and published in the "Cultural Review".

Lin Zixuan doesn’t want to make money, but to be exaggerated.

Two thousand copies of each issue of "Cultural Review" are printed, of which 1,500 copies are issued in Peking. If you can't sell it for 50% off, you will get a 30% discount. As long as you have enough capital, you will sell it. What you need is a speed of communication.

The other five hundred copies were given directly to the literati of Peking who participated in the war of verbal war.

When the first issue of "Cultural Review" spread in Peiping, many Peking literati used it as a joke.

I think Lin Zixuan is exhausted and fight back in this way, but it is just a joke and I can't hold on for long.

Some people even call "Cultural Review" a tabloid and not a good deal.

However, as the issue of "Cultural Review" continued to enter the Peking market, even regardless of costs, just for rapid spread, those Peking literati could no longer sit still.

No one can tolerate being scolded in the newspaper every day, which will make him a joke in the eyes of others.

Although the articles in "Cultural Review" do not name a name or curse, there are many people who can get the name of it.

These people began to fight back and quarreled with the southern literati, and the verbal battle between the north and the south began.

Lin Zixuan’s purpose is not to continue scolding like this. Scolding is just a means, not an end.

After both sides started to scold, "Cultural Review" attracted the attention of all parties and became the focus of society. He began to elaborate on his own proposition and invited scholars who agreed with his proposal to join in.

He knew his abilities, and he only knew the basics of whether it was Western culture or Eastern culture.

It’s nothing to do on weekdays, but once something is involved, he can’t continue to study it. After all, his cultural accumulation is not enough, and the integration of Eastern culture and Western culture is a great subject.

This is not something that can be accomplished by one person, and perhaps it is not something that a generation can find.

Therefore, Lin Zixuan needs more knowledgeable scholars to participate and work together to continue this path.

The war of verbal is just a hype that attracts attention. As long as someone pays attention, someone may agree with his opinion. What he fears most is obscurity and no one pays attention to.

Lin Zixuan's scolding at all costs made many people laugh and cry.

Lu Xun said that in the future, don’t scold such rich people. If he can’t scold, you can’t afford to scold, and you have to pay attention to the cost of scolding.

However, no one expected that the "Cultural Review", which was first called a swearing tabloid, changed from four pages to eight pages, and finally became sixteen pages, gathering a large number of centrist scholars to conduct profound and detailed research on Chinese culture and Western culture.

The centrists do not agree with conservatives or overall Westernization, and must take a middle path.

This ideological faction had a great response in the ideological world during the Republic of China period and had a profound impact on later generations.

As Lin Zixuan said in the founding lyrics of "Cultural Review".
