Chapter 20 The Party's Secret Meeting Wu Sangui is a red face

Zhang Zhimu knows that the difficulty of governing such a country may be even more difficult than building this country, and there has been a saying since ancient times that "it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world". Zhang Zhimu knows better that in his previous life, he was not always interested in politics, and he has always devoted his main energy to his profession. My own understanding of politics is also something that has been poured into that environment. One thing Zhang Zhimu understands very well is that governing this country requires a united and creative team.

After the military meeting and a two-day break, Zhang Zhimu organized a secret meeting of the party attended by the main leaders.

At the meeting, Zhang Zhimu did not discuss specific issues with everyone, but focused on the conditions needed to establish a solid democratic republic: "We need to go a long way to establish our ideal republic, but we must have a clear goal on how to go about it." In my opinion, first of all, there must be a sound legal framework, and the broad masses of the people must have a sense of democracy and a sense of abiding by the law, and then there must be a strong judiciary. At present, we do not have many conditions, and if we practice democracy now, the country will immediately be divided, and rich and powerful people everywhere will divide one side. Those who hold military power will definitely want to be emperor themselves. It's really an election, and a bowl of noodles can be exchanged for a vote, and that's what we're doing at the moment. Therefore, it is not possible to rely on the proletariat to practice democracy, they have nothing, they are still struggling on the line of life and death, they are ignorant and backward, how can they practice democracy. It is not possible to rely on those rich and noble classes, who hold great wealth and want to be superior to others, how can they agree that everyone is equal, so that they have only one vote like the inferior people they simply look down upon. So for a democracy to be established, it takes a large middle class to do it. The middle class has a certain amount of wealth and is often literate. They no longer have the pressure of life, and they begin to need to live with dignity, hope to be recognized by society, hope that their opinions will be respected, that is, they hope to have democratic rights. Only when such a class becomes strong and has the ability to take responsibility for society can the foundation of democracy be solid. I think we have a clear goal, and we know what to do! ”

Li Mao said: "If the industrialization process we are currently engaged in is completed, will we be able to cultivate a lot of middle class? ”

"Hmmm! The process of industrialization is also a process of creating wealth, and our future goal should take into account the distribution of wealth in this process. We must also vigorously develop cultural, educational, and public health undertakings, and expand the training of intellectuals, who are the most receptive to democratic ideas. Zhang Zhimu said.

Li Yan said: "We also have to keep up with the publicity. But blunt propaganda is useless. I watched the propaganda effect of movies, television and radio stations was very good, for example, after the movie we promoted soldiers was released, the young people who wanted to join the army were squeezed out. Our first film was about free love, and you can see how many young men and women are not in free love now. ”

Huang Yukun interjected: "The old people can't stop it if they want to, which movie do they keep scolding!" Hehe! ”

Everyone laughed too!

"Yes, it's a very good way to educate and entertain," Zhang Zhimu said, "I think the focus of our next propaganda is to focus on democracy, and we can make up some stories related to democratic elections, and through stories, we can tell everyone that we can choose the representatives who are beneficial to us through our votes." ”

Editor-in-Chief Fan and Xiao Hongyu were all nodding.

Zhang Zhimu turned his head and said: "There can't be too many movies like this, otherwise everyone will rebel in their hearts!" Will refuse to watch some movies. Our propaganda will be better if it does not show traces! ”

Ouyang He said: "We have already publicly stated that we want to build a democratic country in the future, and everyone in the world knows about it, and I think we should open a course on democratic politics in schools." This public propaganda should also be carried out with great fanfare. ”

"Hmmm! Mr. Ouyang is right! ”

"Yes!"

“”

Many people agree with Ouyang He's suggestion.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I agree with what Mr. Ouyang said, not only in the school, but also in the army. Since we admit that this transition period will not be very short, we must firmly control the armed forces during this transition period. Coming out of the barrel of a gun is still a very realistic situation for us at present. Speaking of which, I think that our party should better shoulder the responsibility of building the country. With such a long transition period, anything can happen, and if I am gone, or if all of you here are gone, our party must be able to carry on our cause. Otherwise, our business will be unstable! ”

Zhang Zhimu's words were a little heavy, which made everyone's hearts sink, they didn't think about what they would do if Zhang Zhimu was gone, and now Zhang Zhimu suddenly raised this question, and everyone didn't react at once.

Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu, don't worry about the army!" Our party's control over the army was very successful. Mr. Ouyang and Li Yan and Li Gongzi spent a lot of effort on this matter! We won't allow you not to be here, though! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu Yile said, "Everyone may have misunderstood, and I will not leave you." But compared to our future careers, each of us, including me, is very insignificant. There are unforeseen circumstances, and we do not rule out any accidents. Responsible for our cause, we must have a plan for everything, and be prepared! ”

"I won't discuss this plan here today!" Ouyang He said, "One thing I believe is that we are gone, and our party members scattered all over the country will unite and continue our cause!" Ouyang He still didn't want to discuss who would succeed him in such a public setting. It's easy to be confused. At this point, Zhang Zhimu is far less thoughtful than Ouyang He.

Ouyang He said this, and Zhang Zhimu also realized that this matter was inappropriate to say here, and immediately said: "When we have time, our party should study this special situation!" I respect Mr. Ouyang's opinion and find time to study it again! Although Zhang Zhimu said this, he knew that this matter must be solved as soon as possible, and he had crossed over, and he didn't know if there would be any sudden changes in his body. You must not let everything you have created be ruined because of your sudden departure.

After this meeting, Li Mao went back to Hankou, there were too many things over there, the steel plant was a critical time, the railway from Zhengzhou to Hankou was also in full swing, and the shipyard was also under construction, besides, Hankou was the center of the entire Jianghan Plain, and many things would be concentrated on Li Mao in Hankou.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhimu invited Li Yan to invite Li Mao to tea, and discussed some matters related to the party's propaganda organization.

Li Mao said: "On our side, although the party is working in secret, it is developing rapidly. I don't think in a few years, should we work openly? ”

"We don't want to do this for the time being," Zhang Zhimu said, "and we haven't reached the point where we need to work in a big way, but in fact, working in secret can increase the organizational consciousness of party members." However, the education of party members must keep up. They must be the vanguard of democracy in the future! ”

Li Mao said: "I very much agree with Li Yan's opinion on using film and television for propaganda work. It works really well! I am still optimistic about our democratic process. The convenience of our transportation and communication methods have a huge impact on the whole world, and the impact on people's minds is even greater. The way people think about problems and do things is also changing. ”

When three people chat together, they can really fully communicate their thoughts. The place where they drink tea is on the top floor of the Yaogang Hotel, which is not open to the public during the day, and can stand high and look far away here, and no one disturbs them.

Just as they were chatting, the elevator door opened, and Li Zhi came up.

The current Li Zhi, like Lu Chengxiang, will no longer come to Zhang Zhimu for a trivial matter. Zhang Zhimu knew that there must be something wrong with him if he could find here.

Seeing Li Zhi coming up, Li Mao took a sip of tea and said to Li Yan: "Director Li is here, there must be something secret, let's go over there and avoid it!" ”

The two were about to get up and leave, Zhang Zhimu waved his hand, "Don't!" You sit on yours! There's nothing to be afraid of you hearing! ”

Of course, Li Zhi was sensible, and he came over and said with a smile: "Two Li Gongzi, you don't have to move, I'm really not afraid of what you will hear!" ”

"Director Li has great powers, we are hiding here, you can find it!" Zhang Zhimu deliberately joked, "Sit down and talk slowly!" ”

Li Zhi sat down and sat half-sitting, straightened up and said: "We found a group of people who wanted to rebel in Lin'an (Hangzhou), and now they are having a meeting, and our people have locked the place where they are meeting. They have our bugs in the venue, and our people are recording. I think I should take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take them to the nest, and I would like to ask for advice! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and asked, "Are they all those original big landlords and court officials?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Zhi nodded and said.

"It's here after all!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Don't arrest them, don't let them know that we have paid attention to them!" To be secretly monitored, the meeting is all about heads, and if you catch them, the people below will all run away. You have to catch them all! ”

"You can't be soft on such people!" Li Mao said.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhimu said, "After we arrest them, we will execute them all to set an example!" Interests determine the position, and these big landlords who have lost their land and officials who have lost their official positions will not be willing and will inevitably oppose us. ”

"These people have long been in our sight, and they originally wanted to rebel in the name of quelling the rebels for the emperor. But the emperor has been showing up in Yaogang constantly, they have no choice, and later they want to start an incident in the name of the emperor being detained by our Yaogang people, and they want to rescue the emperor. However, the emperor spoke in support of us at the popular congress. As a result, these people have not known what reason to use to start the incident, and today's meeting is to study this matter. ”

"Huh!" Li Mao said, "Mr. Zhang has seen the emperor's clever use!" ”

Li Yan also nodded and said, "At first, everyone didn't understand, but now they can see it!" ”

"Hey! To be honest, many people don't understand why Mr. Zhang did this, and now it seems that it is too high! Li Zhi said, "You continue to talk, I will quickly inform them, don't do it!" ”

After Li Zhi left, Li Maofa put down the cup and said thoughtfully: "That's not right! They clearly know that the use of force to rebel is not our opponent at all, why are they so stupid? ”

"Hmmm! What Li Gongzi said was, could it be that they were forced to fight to the death? Zhang Zhimu also felt that there was something wrong with this.

"Humph! They can't make much of a wave! Li Yan said, "We don't have to worry too much about them, let's wait for Director Li and them to close the case!" However, is such a big case going to be tried by our Supreme Court? ”

"Yes, yes! This case will be tried by you as the first case of the Supreme Court, and every defendant will be given a full chance to defend himself. Moreover, the case should be tried in public, and some people and media reporters should be allowed to come and observe! It is also an opportunity to educate the population to deter hostile forces! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Yes!" Li Mao said, "Democracy is to be done, and this is much stronger than talking!" It seems that Director Li's work is very effective! ”

"Brother Li! Will your Yangtze River Bridge be open next year? ”

Zhang Zhimu is still very concerned about the Yangtze River Bridge, the bridge will have a deep impact on the pattern of the whole of China, especially now after the mass production of automobiles, began to sell to the people, many of the original landlords have silver in their hands, all buy cars for transportation. If the Yangtze River can be opened to traffic, transportation can travel between the two sides of the Yangtze River, then the significance is too great.

"Go for it! You know, the Yangtze River Bridge is different from the Yellow River Bridge, both in terms of bridge length and water depth. We built the bridge on both sides of the strait at the same time, and the amount of work was still very large. Besides, we built two bridges on the Han River and the Yangtze River at the same time, and every day there are strings of ships carrying cement from the cement factory in Hanzhong. The bridge is done in shifts day and night. However, in the future, it will be much easier for us to build bridges, and the speed of bridge construction can be accelerated, and everyone has exercised it. At first, I was timid, I didn't dare to do this, I didn't dare to do it, and I knew what was going on after I did it. From the second pier, the construction speed is much faster, the drier the better, the drier the smarter! ”

Li Yan also said: "There is such a thing as 'goods to Han**', if these two bridges are opened, your side will be even more terrible!" ”

Li Mao said: "I discussed with Mr. Lu and bought a lot of land at both ends of the bridge in advance, and built the pavement. As soon as the bridge is opened to traffic, you see, it can be doubled several times. ”

Li Yan smiled and said: "Brother Li, I really convinced you, not only is I generous, but I can also steal chickens and dogs!" ”

"Haha!" The three of them laughed for a while, and Zhang Zhimu said, "Brother Li turned out to be a horse seller, and everyone has to come into contact with black and white. Hehe! ”

With a telegraph call, Zhang Zhimuhe often talked to Li Mao, and there was not much to say in person, Li Mao wanted to return to Hankou along Zhengzhou to the Hankou railway construction site this time, so he took his own people and left first.

Before Wu Sangui left, he wanted to invite Zhang Zhimu to a meal, and said that he would invite Zhang Zhimu in Chen Yuanyuan's courtyard.

Zhang Zhimu had no choice but to let Xiao Hongyu go to the banquet with him.

On the way, Xiao Hongyu asked sourly: "Hey! This matter, it should be Sister Yulin accompanying you? ”

"Chen Yuanyuan is also an artist, and I am afraid that Yulin will scare people when she goes. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to give you this opportunity to show your face? "Zhang Zhimu deliberately angered Xiao Hongyu.

"Oops!" Zhang Zhimu's arm was pinched by Xiao Hongyu, "I said, why are you all doing this routine!" ”

"Give you face to accompany you, and say give me a chance," Xiao Hongyu said dissatisfied, "I know that Chen Yuanyuan is a geisha, and he said that he is an artist?" Don't spoil the artist, or no one will dare to admit that he is an artist in the future! ”

"Hey! I said little Hongyu, you have changed a lot! It's all the same as Yang Yulin, and even the speech is in the same tone! The original feeling of tenderness is gone! ”

"Huh! Is it? Little Hongyu smiled and said, "Oh, my daily business! As soon as I arrived at the office, I was busy, and I either shouted or screamed every day, and I didn't look like a woman! Really! I used to look down on such women the most, and now I am like this again. ”

Chen Yuanyuan's yard is prepared by the kiln gang, Zhang Zhimu has never come, but as soon as he came in, he felt that the small courtyard was really good, not only cleaned clean, but also looked very elegant, Zhang Zhimu said: "It seems that the yard is also divided into people to live!" ”

Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan, who came out, gave gifts to Zhang Zhimu and Xiao Hongyu, Wu Sangui said: "Mr. Zhang, I haven't asked for a chance to thank you, thank you for helping me arrange Yuanyuan so well!" ”

"Hey! You are working the front line, we are in the rear, eat well and sleep steadily, and help you relieve your worries, isn't it right? Zhang Zhimu said.

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang! Please also ask Mr. Zhang to thank Mrs. Huang for me, every time the New Year's Festival, Mrs. Huang not only sent a lot of things for the New Year, but also asked the cold and warm, I have something to say to Mrs. Huang, I can help me immediately, it is really closer than my relatives. ”

"It's all as it should be! General Wu shed blood and sacrificed their lives outside, and it is our unshirkable responsibility to relieve them of their worries! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! Not only Yuanyuan, but also my home, Mrs. Huang also takes care of it very well! ”

Wei Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel that his family had arranged it even if it should be, his concubine, Zhang Zhimu, also sent someone to pick it up from Beijing, and also arranged a courtyard, which made Wu Sangui really feel a little unhappy. I don't know how much silver a yard like Yaogang is worth!

Chen Yuanyuan personally cooked and prepared several dishes, which won high praise from the gourmand Xiao Hongyu. Zhang Zhimu and Wu Sangui just know that it is delicious, but Xiao Hongyu can taste a few flavors! Chen Yuanyuan and Xiao Hongyu can be regarded as meeting bosom friends, and the two of them talk non-stop together.

After the meal, Chen Yuanyuan served tea to Zhang Zhimu and Wu Sangui, and went outside to drink tea with Xiao Hongyu!

Zhang Zhimu and Wu Sangui drank tea for a while, and Wu Sangui proposed to Zhang Zhimu something that made him a little embarrassed!
