Chapter 384 The Constitutional President of North-South Partition
Luoyang Imperial Palace, where the Cabinet Council is located.
"What do you think about the South's request for equal trade with us?" Liu Xie had just finished handling one bill, and then picked up another bill and asked everyone.
"Five years ago, they went out independently and showed goodwill to us as a vassal state. Five years later, they became more stubborn and actually planned to trade on an equal footing?" Gongsun Sheng was a little dissatisfied.
"Looking at what is said in it, the other party actually said that the relationship between master and slave is a master-slave relationship. However, this trade matter originally pays attention to the word 'fairness', and trade does not involve politics, so trade should be conducted on an equal footing.
Look, this excuse is quite high-sounding." Xie Bian said disdainfully.
"Ordinarily, we should send troops to destroy them directly!" Xiahou Dun, who had just entered the cabinet, said dissatisfiedly.
"It is naturally easy to send troops, but for the civil war, our preference is to resolve it peacefully. After all, the root cause of the current situation between the two sides is actually the contradiction and conflict between the New Deal and the interests of the old aristocratic families." Cao Cao stopped speaking a little.
Xiahou Dun's abuse.
"They took away more than three million people at once and split Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. These old families deserve to die!" Zhang Ming said angrily.
Zhang Ming served as the Minister of Finance during the second election. At that time, there was a major change. China's population instantly dropped by more than three million. All kinds of troubles that followed immediately made him extremely busy.
.
It can be said that he has done his best in the past five years just to stabilize the economy at the level before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Fight... I'm afraid I won't be able to fight..." Xie Bian said helplessly.
Everyone actually understands that this war cannot be fought at all. Since both sides are people of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, whoever fights will be a drain on the Chinese nation. This is a big problem.
And the most important thing is that all the monsters and monks in China seemed to have received some order, and they all gathered to the side of the Republic of China on the opposite side. People from the Xiaoyao Sect also asked for advice, and they said that the People's Republic of China did not protect itself.
They can't leave until they have the ability.
It can be seen that they seem to have been threatened by something. As for where the threat comes from, Xie Yi and Lou Gui, who are temporarily responsible for handling the internal affairs of the Xiaoyao faction, still understand.
Who else can do this besides those guys from the fairy world?
To be honest, neither of them had the confidence to go against the immortals. And the person who could serve as the backbone had been missing for five years.
Well, since we can't fight the war anyway, we can only think of ways to attack the economy.
But the other party obviously also studied economics very deeply, so the other party discovered many small tricks and quickly countered them. The economic war was back and forth, and no one knew who suffered more.
Of course, as a subordinate country, the Republic was naturally at a disadvantage at the beginning. So in order to reverse this situation, the other party now proposed the principle of equal trade.
"By the way, is there no news about him yet?" Liu Xie suddenly asked.
"It has been ten years, and there is no trace of my father anywhere. People from the Xiaoyao sect said that he was on Penglai Island, but the location of Penglai Island has changed in the past ten years. Even the people from the Xiaoyao sect can't find him.
The direction." Xie Bian said regretfully.
"There was news from the Republic five years ago that..." Cao Cao stopped after half a sentence.
"If that happened, Xiaoyao Sect would have been wiped out long ago." Xie Bian immediately gave evidence of success.
"It's just that as time goes by and he still doesn't show up, this rumor is slowly accepted by everyone. Once accepted, there will be many things that cannot be explained clearly, and everyone will subconsciously give their best opinion.
The best answer." Gongsun Sheng said with a wry smile.
"Who are you talking about?" a voice suddenly said.
"Where did he die?" Gongsun Sheng suddenly felt that he was ten years younger.
"You just came out?" Cao Cao showed a knowing smile.
"Welcome back!" Liu Xie seemed to have found his backbone.
"Did you bring a souvenir?" Xie Bian stretched out his hands without any politeness.
Communication between a son and his father does not actually require being around him all day long. The occasional act of coquettishness or willfulness is nothing more than a sign of intimacy.
"How about you take out a small piece of the two tea leaves that you just extorted to make tea?" Xie Xin said with a little heartache as he took out two pieces of Zucha tea leaves.
"Come here, bring some tea leaves to make tea!" Huang Zhong was even more unwelcome.
"By the way, brother, when did you enter the cabinet?" Xie Xin was a little curious.
"In this term, I became the Minister of Justice!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.
"Congratulations, brother, on your promotion!" Xie Xin said in hand.
There was a burst of greetings, and the entire cabinet meeting room became a little less serious and a little more warm. The letter of thanks is actually a bridge between the forces of all parties. As long as he lives for one day, the relationship between everyone will be raised to a very high level.
Degree.
"By the way, I just heard you talking about what's going on in the south. What's going on?" After a brief sip of tea, Xie Xin asked casually at the temporarily arranged seat.
"Speaking of which, Master, do you know about the Sima family in Hedong?" Zhang Ming asked first.
"Do you know who Sima Fang was, who once served as the Ling of Jing Zhaoyin and Luoyang? I heard that he had eight sons, who were called Sima Bada in Hedong, and each of them had some abilities?" Xie Xin said casually.
Of course he knows the Sima family, especially the 'dead ant' and 'ten thousand year turtle'.
Apparently, this fellow, like Yuan Shao, had become unblockable, and compared to the Cao family, he was more easily recognized by the aristocratic families, so he eventually rebelled... Of course, it was actually his grandson who rebelled.
If you look at it from this perspective, this guy and his son are indeed loyal ministers of the Wei State. It's a pity that the third generation's education failed and they eventually followed the same old path.
"That's the Sima family. The second son is named Sima Yi. Now he has become the president of the Chinese Republic." Gongsun Sheng said angrily.
"Hey, the Han Empire was split by reactionary forces?" Xie Xin said in surprise.
"By the way, you seem very happy?" Xie Bian smiled bitterly.
The country has been divided, how can this guy still laugh?!
"If I guess correctly, the main composition of the opposite side is actually aristocratic families?" Xie Xin smiled faintly.
"Do you know?" Cao Cao asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I can guess. The advantage of the constitutional monarchy is that it is a good protection for your majesty and your family. But at the same time, its existence will definitely have a great impact on the aristocratic families.
influence, resulting in a certain weakening.
In addition, the Chinese Empire promoted education and the people's literacy rate increased greatly. This also touched the bottom line of the wealthy families. Even if the land issue was not handled properly, they would also complain.
To sum up, it is certain that from the day the Han Empire was born, the struggle between the country and the aristocratic families has become clear. Splitting the country is just one of three possibilities. It is also early.
It was expected, nothing to be surprised about." Xie Xin replied with a smile.
"Then tell me, what are the other two situations?" Liu Xie asked curiously.
"The first is to directly send people to assassinate you, and then directly usurp power by force. This is the lowest possibility because it is very dangerous and has a high failure rate.
The second option is to wait until the day when we truly succeed, they form a party, and then find ways to control the power to form the cabinet, and then slowly return to the original path through peaceful evolution.
The second method is naturally the safest, but the process is too slow. It can be said that they don't know how much they will lose every year, so naturally they cannot use one. In this way, splitting off and building another country is the best way.
It's my choice." Xie Xin said with a smile.
Then he leaned forward and asked curiously: "By the way, what kind of political system does the other party use?"
"Is Sima Yi the president?" Xie Xin continued to ask.
"Yes, although the constitution stipulates that the president can only serve three consecutive terms. But Sima Yi once swore to God that he would not take the Chinese Republic with him for one day and become the Chinese orthodoxy; or maybe his governance methods caused irreparable damage to the Chinese Republic.
He will not leave the position of president before he suffers a loss," Huang Zhong said jokingly.
"It's nothing more than greed for the real power of the president. He doesn't even think about how many people are looking at his position." Xiahou Dun said disdainfully.
"But his methods are good, and both Yizhou and Yazhou provinces support him. In addition, the various policies he formulated have greatly increased the influence and say of the aristocratic family, and they have gained a lot of economic benefits.
So if this situation remains unchanged, his position as president will not be shaken." Cao Cao said regretfully.
"That guy actually united with Liu Bei and the descendants of the Sun family?!" Xie Xin asked curiously.
"Liu Bei was the vice president, and Sun Shao became the minister of finance." Liu Xie said with a wry smile.
"Isn't Liu Bei your imperial uncle? How about asking him to come over and surrender?!" Xie Xin asked casually.
"He said that I was under the control of thieves, and the national policy was designed to destroy the Han Dynasty. So, he planned to become a loyal minister to the Qing emperor!" Liu Xie said angrily.
"You can tell this, he really has the demeanor of the great ancestor!" Xie Xin laughed.
"Okay, now that you're back, what's the solution?" Gongsun Sheng asked with concern.
"Even if I have, I can't tell you! But thanks to you, I have roughly understood the situation in China in the past ten years. It's been a while since I thought about it. I'm going back to Huaxia Academy. Let's talk again when we have time!"
After saying the thank you letter, he ran away directly.
"Eh? Why did he leave?!" Xiahou Dun couldn't understand.
"He is not leaving, but returning to the place where he can best exert his strength and influence." The corners of Xie Bian's mouth raised slightly.
