Chapter 363 National Society (II)

The three towns started another busy day.

Motorboats shuttled across the Yangtze River, and the streets and alleys were filled with military and police officers with guns and ammunition. The news that Commander Yang would hold a conference to go back to Wuchang for the New Year was gone. While people were happy, they also hoped to know what the people-friendly policies were made by the Commander-in-Chief, who brought prosperity to Hubei.

As the starting place of Yang Qiu and Guoshe, a series of policies and reforms implemented in Hubei have always touched the hearts of many people. The rapid development of industry has led to more and more rural youths starting to flock to cities, crowded with various technical schools for training and were assigned to various factories. If you are not satisfied with the distribution, you can find them yourself. What's more, the 21 factories left in Hubei after the Japanese concession were taken back were confiscated and auctioned to private individuals. Dozens of American companies have settled in the Sino-US bonded industrial zone in Hankou, and the United States, and the United States are GE.

The Sino-US joint venture generator and power transmission and transformer equipment factory with a total investment of 5 million yuan is one of the biggest. It is followed by the renamed Hankou Vehicle Factory (formerly tractor factory). In addition to starting the production of 35-horsepower internal combustion engine small tractors and 65-horsepower 2-ton trucks, it also participated in the important project of military crawler armored vehicles and began to recruit people in large numbers. In addition, the European war has led to strong demand, so the current situation is how many people there are in each factory.

Of course, the first choice for young people to dream is to join the private enterprise Hanyang Hubei Industrial Group, Yang Qiu’s private enterprise.

Hubei Industrial Group and Iron and Steel Company have completely become one of the giants in Asia. Not only are the construction of branches in nearby areas such as Daye, Xiaogan, Jiangxia, etc., the headquarters of Hanyang Group alone has 57 factories and workshops of various types, and 16,000 workers have been started at the same time day and night, but the total number of people actually exceeded 60,000. Last year alone, the total sales of the entire group (including sales technology and military industry revenue) reached 320 million yuan, replacing Japan's Mitsubishi as the leader in Asia, but there is still a big gap in several key projects such as quality, technology, manufacturing capabilities, advanced precision and R&D.

Although the technology sale has come to an end, the orders from Russia and Britain and France alone can bring at least 600 million yuan in sales to the group in the next three years. The huge revenue, especially after the sale of technology, Hanyang, Chongqing and Jiangnan were sufficient funds, so they increased their investment in recruiting workers to launch a new round of expansion. Su Hongsheng and Chongqing Zheng Tingxiang joined forces not long ago, despite the severe cold, to go to Changchun to prepare to use the Maoshan Iron Mine that they bought for 5 million yuan to build a number of new factories. Even under the restrictions of almost stagnant foreign imported equipment, the expansion still did not stop. On the one hand, the domestic machinery manufacturing industry has made great progress after the continuous flow of technicians fleeing from Europe joined and began to slowly produce the required equipment. On the other hand, Yang Qiu also used the national resources in his hands to find ways to buy from second-tier countries or let the intelligence department directly act as a rampant "smuggling army".

With a good foundation, Hubei's social reform is undoubtedly the fastest. As the first province with annual taxes exceeding 100 million yuan or even about to exceed 200 million yuan, free education has completely covered all townships in the province since last year, and more than 5 million students have begun to enjoy nine-year free education. The government has also begun to use industrial income to subsidize agriculture and animal husbandry. Although this amount of subsidy is still inconspicuous, the people can feel the changes around them. There are fewer minor officials who are exploiting, and there is no need to bribe all the top and bottom when suing. The agricultural tax has been reduced to the lowest point. After the government forcibly levied, the landlords began to gradually turn to industrial and commercial investment with greater profits, or use wasteland to develop and plant cash crops to obtain political subsidies.

Children who go to the city to study can remit a lot of money every month, and the farming burden is much smaller. In the year, each household can save some money. There are many people who have money to go to the market. The bargains produced by themselves can afford them, and even foreign goods are not luxurious items that they dare not look at before. Bandits and bullies are almost extinct, and the public security on the market has improved a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the prosperous era is! And all this was brought to everyone by Chairman Yang, so before the New Year, many people spent a few cents to invite a portrait of him to the main hall. When the dynasty changes, no matter how hard the creatures are, they are tragic, but this time it has only been a few years. Not only has life been stable, but it is really a blessing from Commander Yang! If he is not the president, who can still be the president?!

The old man held a long smoke pole and watched the soldiers pass by with great enthusiasm. These are all the National Welfare Forces, the soldiers of Hubei! If Commander Yang had not led them to fight in the south and north and drove all the Japanese away, how could this be the best day? Therefore, the young soldiers from Hubei and southwest were the most active. The first batch of retired soldiers became the targets of the big girls and wives. They learned to read and read in the army, and when they came back, they were all the talents that the factories rushed to seek. Many people also received low-tech factories such as pig farms, flour mills, canning factories, and honeycomb coal factories funded by Commander Yang, and these low-tech factories sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Recently, it was the first time that private phosphate fertilizer factory and chlor-alkali factory appeared in Xiaogan! It was said that it was created by several injured retired officers and foreign technicians.

Not only Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi and Henan, etc., I don’t know how many people listen to Commander Yang now! He is the only one in the eyes of young students. The Youth Association, an important pillar of the National Society, has more than 4 million registered members. After the victory against Japan, even young children among Nanyang and overseas Chinese regard him as idols and join the National Society.

"It's useless to say this." A student representative from Hubei Institute of Technology who came to attend the National Social Council badge on the ferry clenched his fists: "Anyway! I only support the chairman. He can make anyone who wants to be the president, but whoever dares to do whatever he wants... we will oppose him!"

"Yes, support the Chairman and support the National Society! Long live the Youth Council!"

When the young people shouted slogans, the Hubei Political Fu Auditorium was also filled with people and the atmosphere was warm. The National Socialist Party members from all over the world gathered together to start the preliminary meeting. In the small auditorium next to it, Li Yuanhong stood by the window and looked at the prosperity and stability of Wuchang Street, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, feeling moved, admired, and even more worried.

He came to attend the National Social Security Congress this time. Although he often heard that Hubei has changed a lot when he was in Nanjing, he still couldn't help but sigh after seeing it. After the gunshots of 1911, Hubei fell into turmoil and uneasy. At the beginning, he was a governor and had many self-protection elements, but later he became active as his status stabilized. However, Yang Qiu's rise was very surprising, and eventually forced him to go far away to Nanjing to serve as a idle vice president.

It was impossible to say that there was no resentment at that time, but what if there was no power or military service? After arriving in Nanjing, the Democratic Party also excluded him. It was not as good as an office teapot as a vice president. It had almost never played a role except for drinking tea and chatting. It was not until the southwest unified the country's society that earth-shaking changes took place.

Suppressing the Democratic Party, promoting the state and society, gradually embarked on the political stage and finally became the third interim president of the Republic of China.

This is the change in the world! In just a few years, three interim presidents were born in the Republic of China. So who would be the first official president? It is false to have a status that reaches his level, and the reputation of the first official president is even more coveted. But just look outside the window and you can understand how false this idea is. That person not only has powerful political means, but also holds military power without letting go. He is only in civil affairs and economic order. Who can have such ability in the whole country?

Standing outside, if a person like him doesn't become the president, even he might have objected! But finally to this day, this beautiful name... Alas! It's a pity. Li Yuanhong sighed, picked up the flower tea before he could reach his lips, and after the knock on the door suddenly sounded, Tang Shaoyi and Tan Yankai walked in.

Since Yang Qiu quickly settled Hunan, Tan Yankai knew that he could not fight, so he put away his mind and tried his best to be a green leaf. In addition, he was a person with little political ambitions in a corner. Being able to become a member of the State Council has been considered a burning incense. Therefore, in recent years, he has been working hard as a governor. Under the supervision of Yang Qiu, Hunan, which has turned to chemical industry, coal and agricultural processing, has made contributions to today.

Seeing Li Yuanhong's face was melancholy, he didn't know the reason. It was only a matter of time before the National Society won the election with its current status, but the position of president was undecided, which touched many people's hearts. In fact, he also quite understood Li Yuanhong, saying that he had no contribution to the presidency for a year was definitely blind. Although Yang Qiu did his own way to implement the new policy, he relied on him and Tang Shaoyi in civil affairs and sorting out domestic government affairs. However, no one knows the person's thoughts at this matter, so he had no way to persuade him and said: "The president should not be upset, this matter will be revealed one day."

"Haha." Li Yuanhong smiled and confessed: "Zu'an doesn't have to comfort me. Li has neither Sun Yixian's clever tongue nor Yuan Xiangcheng's talent and strategy. It is a lucky chance to be a temporary president. Looking at the grand scene of Hubei and the whole country today, it would be unreasonable to say that Chen Hua did not stand up." Tan Yankai also agreed. Not to mention Hubei with a good foundation, even if it has a bad foundation, Hunan has undergone earth-shaking changes! In just a few years, it has become the largest chemical production area in the country. This ability alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Yes! Don't talk about the two, even if I am a monk, I didn't expect that today would be there." Tang Shaoyi picked up the teacup, and was still gentle and gentle. He continued, "But if Chen Hua would stand up now, I don't think it would be."

"Oh? What does Shaochuan say?" Li Yuanhong moved his invisible waist, and the look of expectation flashed in his eyes. Even Tan Yankai sat upright. Although he was far away from the central government, he was also very clear that Yang Qiu attaches great importance to the prosperity of the country, and is following the path of foreign powers. Therefore, this prime minister with a deep British and American background can basically rest assured. Moreover, Yang Qiu himself said in public that there are only a few people who can support the position of prime minister. In addition, he is supported by young heroes such as Gu Weijun and Shi Zhaoji, so it is almost certain to continue to form a cabinet.

Tang Shaoyi sorted out his thoughts and said, "Don't you understand Chen Hua's thoughts yet? He is proficient in governing the country, fighting wars and running business, and his vision is far better than us. With his current status, if we have ideas, even if we do it ourselves, who can say no? But he didn't do that, because he is afraid of being troubled by miscellaneous things!"

"Miscellaneous things?" Tan Yankai frowned: "Shaochuan is talking about government affairs?"

Tang Shaoyi nodded: "The country has improved slightly, but the affairs left by the Qing Dynasty are blocked and political rigid, and it is difficult to return. It cannot be sorted out in a short period of time. This will take years or even decades of hard work, and it must wait for the younger generation to get up to see results. But Chen Hua and us cannot afford it! The European War will eventually end. Once Britain and France get rid of the constraints, they will inevitably turn back. The Japanese War has not done its best because of the lack of naval force. Although Wang Zhengting from the north is in harmony with Russia

The country signed an agreement, but Mongolia and Xinjiang are still a big problem. Moreover, with the Russian nature, I see that the agreement has probably been used up as straw paper. Why is Chen Hua eager to fight with Japan? Why do he control the Northeast? After all, he is still afraid of being delayed by government affairs and chores! Although the parliament is controlled by us, each family has its own thoughts. He can unify major matters, but he has a lot of entanglement in small matters. If he comes out now, how can these things be avoided?"

"Have you not seen through the two of you over the years? Chen Hua is very thoughtful, and we are afraid that we cannot see through it." Tang Shaoyi's eyes gradually became deeper and he slowly put down his teacup and said, "So there are three things around him that cannot be touched. Military power! Block the way! Bind his hands and feet! The President blocked his way when he was in Hubei. Because he could not get the power, he could not build the southwest into what he is now! Sun Yixian and Yuan Xiangcheng not only blocked his way but also threatened military power. If he didn't get rid of it for a day, he would not be able to put the whole country in his pocket, and he could not do whatever he wanted, so they would die and leave!"

These words made both nod. Li Yuanhong could not display his ambitions without leaving Yang Qiu, and Lu Rongting and Cai E could not be considered as mastering the southwest without disintegration. Sun Yixian was not very capable, but he had a supreme position within the Democratic Party. If he didn't make trouble, he could not kill the Democratic Party, and he could not kill the Democratic Party. It was still a quarrel situation. Yuan Shikai and Beiyang were simply a threat.

On the other hand, Deng Xiaoke and Tan Yankai took the initiative to cater to the position and put themselves in a high position. Cai E and Lu Rongting also became confidants after they turned against each other. After the Democratic Party declined, he did not kill them all. This shows that as long as they did not block the way, he would not be willing to commit more murder. Seeing that the two of them heard it, Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly: "Before Yuan Shikai died, let Yang Shiqi bring a few words to Chen Hua, asking him to be wary of North Korea and Russia, and also proposed to be cautious and endurance, with eight words of age advantage!"

"Avoid urgent and endure, and age is the best." Li Yuanhong and Tan Yankai read it silently and understood. Yuan Shikai was reminding Yang Qiu that after the country was stable, he could not do whatever he wanted. He was also telling him that many people would be killed by his age, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Yuan Gongbao is worthy of being a great man of his generation, and only he can see so thoroughly. What a pity! What a pity!"

"Yes. I have been with him for many years. Except for missing out on his own opportunities in the battle of Hubei, I have never seen him make any mistakes. He can see clearly. Why should the President be worried?" Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly: "I heard that Hanyang has important models and equipment set today. The President might as well go and see Sheng Jing there. Chen Hua... has not expressed his opinion for a long time. That is waiting for your words."
