Volume E Chapter 15 Structure
When there was a fierce battle on Quzhou's side, Yang Rui met with Yang Du and talked about the country. It is already the year of Xinhai, and although a plan has been made to completely exterminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China is so big and the situation is unpredictable, and there are still many things that are not very prepared, or not prepared at all. A country's internal and foreign affairs involve all aspects, and there are all kinds of departments, and people who have never sat in that position in Beijing do not understand the mystery of this at all.
Although Zhang Taiyan is usually eloquent about how to effectively manage a country, he is a little dumbfounded when he really waits for the revival to sit in the world, after all, he has not been an official, has not worked in foreign affairs and internal affairs for a few years, this is completely a member of the keyboard political bureau in later generations, how can he understand how to govern the country. In the conversation with Yang Rui a few days ago, he talked more about the four points of cherishing the people, resisting humiliation, saving money, and cleaning up officials, and believed that the congress should not be opened, emphasizing that as soon as the congress opens, those representatives (congressmen) will become new bureaucrats, which is equivalent to inviting hundreds of grandfathers to the people.
Zhang Taiyan has a thorough view of the essence of the parliamentarians, but now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has opened the Congress, your better revival will have to continue to open the Congress, which is just like the Taizu of later generations, winning the world, the political consultation meeting and the people's congress are still to be held, but these meetings are just a formality, and you don't have to take it seriously. Since Congress is just acting, can those congressmen become the new grandfathers? 1. The power of the revival is vested only in the congress of the Renaissance Society. Zhang Taiyan's tirade, Yang Rui only listened to one thing, that is, education and administrative independence, which are different from each other. Funds will also be allocated by the state treasury, and the rest will be forgotten after saying it.
Zhang Taiyan couldn't wait, so Yang Rui could only summon Yang Du if he thought about it. Although this gentleman failed to assist Yuan Shikai in later generations, it was also due to Yuan Shikai's short life and luck. Yang Rui didn't want to be the emperor, and he was more confident that he was only thirty-four years old and would not repeat the mistakes of the past.
A little more than a month ago, Guangxu issued an edict to close the parliament and set for next year's re-election, those members of parliament who were dismissed. They were all walking in the capital, wanting to inquire about what the next congress would be, but Yang Du felt that the Manchu Dynasty was gone. I didn't stay long in Beijing, and I went south from Tianjin to Shanghai lightly and briskly. The first thing he did when he arrived in Shanghai was to join the Revival Society quickly and firmly. When Yang Rui got the news, he couldn't help laughing and scolding. I just think this person is really exquisite. Seeing the wind and making the rudder is really powerful.
Yang Rui laughed and scolded, but Yang Du seemed to know that he was opportunistic, and when he spent more than half a month, he wrote a sprinkling strategy for the founding of the country at the Shanghai Inn, but he was obviously wrong and only got a constitutional monarchy plan. Because of the education of later generations, Yang Rui had no good impression of the emperor. I don't want to set up another emperor, and I don't want to have an unknowable space-time authority. If you set up an emperor after Xinhai on your side, isn't that an old birthday star hanging? is to only tear off the top half of this founding strategy, and then look at the lower half, but Yang Du is also a person who has stayed abroad, and he is very unclear about the trend of modern China, so he is still Westernized, and he can't read it after reading a few pages.
The more he understands this era, the more Yang Rui understands that this era is completely a transformation between ancient China and modern China. Even if it is a transformation, it must be dangerous and difficult. The small-scale peasant economy was constantly disintegrating, and modernization was difficult to establish under the foreign invasion of foreign powers. Those damn white-skinned dumping goods to earn silver, only pay 4 percent of the tariff, 2.5 percent of the sub-mouth tax and run away, the rest of the chicken feathers can only be cleaned up by themselves, natural and man-made disasters are only borne by themselves, because they have to compromise the outside world, and they are scolded by the indignant youth, and they can only suffer by themselves.
Such a situation can only lead to the systematic dismantling of the smallholder economy and the planned establishment of modernization. There is a plan to build, that is, to have as much time as possible to prepare, more people, more money, and more technology to take over the market left by the collapse of the smallholder economy; And there is a step by step disintegration, that is, Shanggu, that is, to promote national culture, but also to let those homespun yarn, homespun cloth, silk, and countless craftsmen slowly lose their jobs, before they finally have nothing to eat, the government will give them a support policy, but if they do not choose this last way, then starve to death and pull down.
Yang Rui's governance is roughly only these two, as for other things, there are some, but they are very messy, especially the government structure is very confused, so in the end, he only pulled Yang Du, who had been staying in Shanghai, to come.
was brought to Yang Rui's side again by the people of Tek, Yang Du was a little excited, and after a neat salute, he sat down neatly, just waiting for Yang Rui to ask for advice. And although Yang Rui has a lot of things to say, but when the words come to his mouth, he is not easy to speak, just waiting for a sip of tea, this is very general and said: "Huizi, what do you say is the most important thing in governing the country?" ”
Yang Du was just stunned when he heard this, he didn't know that Yang Rui didn't look at the first half of his founding strategy at all, and he didn't know that this question was just that Yang Rui didn't know how to speak, and asked in general. However, after he was stunned for a moment, he said with a straight face: "Mr. Cheng, this governance of the country should be the first in civil governance, and the last in military governance." After he finished speaking, he was afraid that it would be too general, and explained: "In the final analysis, there must be a set of tricks to confuse people, or morality, or democracy, or patriotism, or whatever, as long as it can be said reasonably, everyone believes that the country will be easy to govern." ”
Because he knew that Yang Rui was a person who didn't read sage books, Yang Du only explained his words very straightforwardly. Yang Rui fully understands what he means, this is indeed the most important thing in governing the country, in modern words, this is called ideology, it is a system of more death, and there is no way to run without computers. He smiled and asked, "What if someone doesn't believe me?" ”
"If someone doesn't believe it, then we have to repeat it thousands of times, as the so-called three people become tigers, Zengzi kills people, and everyone will believe it if they say too many lies; But even so, there will still be people who don't fall for this, but there are very few such people, and they don't have to do it themselves, just attack them in groups. Just like a few years ago, the Congress argued about the crime of unmarried adultery by women, and did not want the court to do anything, and let the gentry everywhere besiege us. Yang Du said that he didn't know how to talk about his earlier experience, that time, they blue vote party suffered a big loss from Lao Naixuan.
Yang Rui only thought what he said was interesting, but this was a routine he had already known. Isn't it just a hat in the next generation, hats are flying all over the Internet, he has not only seen but also understood.
"Skinny. What do you think of the revival society's tricks? Yang Rui couldn't help but smile to show his closeness to borrow the words he had made, and asked again.
Perhaps knowing that Yang Rui would ask this, Yang Du shook his head vigorously before the words fell, and said: "The quintessence and patriotism are advocated by the Rejuvenation Association." Mr. Taiyan is too knowledgeable, and he said the quintessence of the country, not to mention the people. Even those of us who have read the books of the sages may not be able to understand his writings. And what Mr. Cheng said about patriotism, although everyone can understand it. I also agree, but now most of the people are illiterate, patriotic and patriotic, what is the country. The people don't know it. They only know the imperial court, only the emperor. ”
Yang Du turned around the topic of constitutional monarchy again, although he had already joined the club, but it was still inconvenient for Yang Rui to talk about the secrets in the meeting, so he just said lightly: "Aren't the monarchs and the people constitutions constitutional?" is to choose a president, then the people still don't think that this is another name for the emperor, it is really necessary to have an emperor? ”
"It has to be!" Yang Du nodded solemnly, "The country is not known to the people. Then there is nowhere to love, and the way of ethics takes two thousand. Although it has decayed, the remaining momentum is still there, as long as it is borrowed, it can still be used for decades, and when these decades have passed, it can be changed and patriotism can be promoted. ”
"But a few decades later, what will the emperor do, will he be an immortal?" Yang Rui asked, he only felt that Yang Du's thinking was similar to his, but the approach was different.
"This ......" Yang Du was obviously wrong, and stammered: "As long as the power is attributed to ...... Attributed to the government, it doesn't matter whether the emperor has it or not. Mr. Cheng, fame and fortune are difficult to achieve, and now the affairs of the former Ming clan are known to the whole world, and the impact is very great, if you ...... it again That's not always good. ”
Yang Du just felt that Mr. Cheng had the heart to win, although he had the knowledge of the emperor, but now that he was in such a shape, he still hoped that Yang Rui would not have such ambitions. Yang Rui knew that he had misunderstood when he heard his words, he didn't want to find out what he thought, he just drank tea, but in the end he still wanted to hear his opinion, so he said: "Do you have to ascend the throne as the emperor to borrow the residual momentum of the way of ethics?" Didn't the emperors of ancient times first claim the throne before they ascended the throne, and then repeatedly persuaded them to ascend the throne? You also said that the people don't understand anything, and if you say too much, it will become true, and they are afraid that there will be no emperor, so we will publicize that there is an emperor. ”
Hearing that Yang Rui wanted to promote the emperor as having an emperor, Yang Du was only startled, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Cheng, this is absolutely unacceptable." As soon as someone deliberately instigates it, saying that revival will clamp down on the emperor, then someone wants to clear the monarch's side. ”
"If you don't advertise as the emperor, how can you take advantage of the momentum? If they are messy, then they'll be messed up. Yang Rui said indifferently, although he knew that he was playing a bull leader, and if he was not careful, he might be overturned by someone with the power of imperial power, but he was not afraid of this risk, and was confident that there would be no problems when he was alive. As for after his death...... Since it is after death, no matter how much he floods.
Yang Du didn't understand what kind of person would say such a thing, wasn't this his own guilt. He said again: "Mr. Cheng, this is not stable for the country, once there is a change, there will be a big incident." ”
"What is stability? What is instability? Yang Rui asked, "I see that when the emperor ascends the throne, the country will be unstable!" Now Guangxu is like that, he can be regarded as in power, but he is still unstable, and he still doesn't understand where he is defeated. History has a general trend, and heroes can only follow the trend and take advantage of the situation, and must not go against the trend. Now the general trend of history is that the emperor will be gone forever, and now he wants to publicize it, but he is just to exert his residual heat and coax the ignorant people. When everyone reads the book and understands the reason, they will know that it is just the royal family of the former Ming Dynasty.
In this way, we have not only borrowed the remaining momentum, but also followed the general trend, and the price to be paid is nothing more than to be vigilant against someone taking the opportunity to make trouble. The backbone of the revival will be in place, and there will be no chaos within 30 years, and then the situation will be completely smoothed out. In the past 30 years, everyone is still alive, are you still afraid that the sky will be turned upside down? On the contrary, the emperor was established, and after 30 years, when everyone was sensible and reasonable, Sun Wen and his ilk began to run rampant, and everyone believed in the theory of democracy and republic, then chaos was about to rise. The first 30 years of hard work are not afraid, but the next 30 years of hard work, when everyone is old, can you still be moved? ”
Yang Ruixing's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea, the Revival Association can convince everyone. But you can't convince everyone from the start. But now it is less than 30 years until World War II, and time is pressing, and he doesn't want to waste time. Re-compiled a set of things that didn't know the effect to brainwash hundreds of millions of people, so they took the imperial power and used it first.
Roughly confessed to Yang Du, now it depends on whether he is a person all the way, if he is not, he will not want to return to the inn tonight, the bottom of the Huangpu River is naturally the place where his bones are buried. Yang Du, who didn't know that his life and death were only in one thought, kept looking up and thinking deeply when he heard the words. Only after Yang Rui finished drinking a cup of tea did he say, "Mr. Cheng, what I said just now." Some understand and some don't. But if you think about it, this is indeed a good strategy, but it is more risky. In addition, I am also worried that once the land is state-owned, the gentry will take the opportunity to instigate the people to make trouble. ”
The state ownership of land is the wind that will be released by the revival meeting. The gentry heard about the chaos. However, the Revival Society did not admit that this was the established policy in the future, because some people believed and some did not. Yang Du has often paid attention to the newspapers of the Revival Society in the past year, and he believes 100% in this matter, so he said this. It doesn't matter if you change the emperor, it's not a big deal to change the world, but if your land is given to the state, the gentry will turn their faces.
Seeing that he studied the policies of the Revival Association so deeply, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Does Huizi still pay attention to the newspapers in the Association?" Land is to be state-owned. But there are many kinds of state-owning, and the interests of the gentry may be greatly damaged. Or small damage, they will have different reactions to different damages, but if they want to say that they incite the people to make trouble, I don't think they can make trouble. It's really not good, can the land state have a holy decree, the people will not make trouble if they get the benefits, and this is the emperor's intention, the shore of the land, is it not the emperor's land, they dare to make trouble? ”
Yang Du only felt that the reason of 'leading the shore of the land, not the emperor's land' was too far-fetched, and only said: "But this is a forcible seizure of people's wealth, they are afraid that they will not accept it, and they will definitely go to Beijing to petition and make trouble." ”
"What is the forcible seizure of people's wealth, the emperor just distributed some of the rich people's food to those who have no money. Of course, I know that many of those gentry are not rich, and there are many who eat sweet potatoes at a time, but they are better than those who eat wild vegetables. According to the way of ethics, a person who does not respect the holy decree has no monarch and no dignity, and such a person is not too much to speculate and kill, right? Yang Rui said. He really wanted to see how the gentry reacted to the decree of confiscation of land from the gentry, and did he dare to resist it?
After talking about land reform, Yang Rui said again: "The new country must be a civil constitution rather than a monarch's constitution; The new state will definitely improve the livelihood of the people at the bottom through land reform; If there is a new country, it will not wear any suits, wear top hats, fiddle with civilized sticks, and what kind of ancestors will it be, then what the new country will look like, but this is not to say that we are xenophobic, but now foreign goods are prevalent, and the annual deficit outflow of silver is as high as more than 200 million taels, and the gap in this deficit is still expanding, so we must let the Chinese people love the country and use the national goods, and this national product is not a local product, so the new country will be no different from the previous dynasties in appearance. Huizi, that's all I can think of, tell me, what kind of structure should this court have? ”
In the new government structure, Yang Rui only has the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Information Industry in his mind...... There are some things in later generations, Zhang Taiyan gave a plan for three provinces and six ministries in the Ming Dynasty, but this is not what Yang Rui means, the administrative power can be given part, but he does not want to divide the military power. It's just that he can't get a Zhongyang Military Commission openly, this thing didn't exist in ancient times, so he had to come to Yang Du's side to find a way. Although this person is new to the Revival Society, he only enters his own door, so he can be regarded as a staff member.
Since he wanted to be no different from the previous dynasties, and called himself overnight to ask, Yang Du thought that he should be dissatisfied with the traditional three-province and six-ministry system, so he came to find himself. He only thought for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Cheng, I think it is good to implement the three-metric system." This is the official position of the ancient pre-Qin, and it is appropriate for the Revival Society to advocate the pre-Qin. ”
"Three metrics?" Yang Rui hadn't heard of this thing, and said curiously: "You tell me about it in detail." ”
These three metric systems existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and continued from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of the Han Dynasty, before the Three Kingdoms were replaced by three provinces and six ministries. Although the names of the three princes have been different for thousands of years, the general rights and responsibilities are the same. One is the prime minister, the general leader of the government; Then for the Taifu, in charge of military and political affairs, and finally the imperial history, supervising hundreds of officials, this is the administrative, military, and legal divisions. When Yang Du talked about military politics, he only glanced at Yang Rui, and then said: "Now the trial is based on real evidence, and the imperial history is afraid that it cannot be listed as the third duke, but the position of the court lieutenant and the judge is somewhat implicated, so it is better to change the imperial history to the court captain." ”
Yang Du added Tingwei, but Yang Rui asked, "Since there is a Taifu." What about the military department? Not on the administrative side? ”
Yang Du had already guessed that Yang Rui wanted to monopolize military power, so he made a three-metric system, and he muttered slightly: "Since there is the Taifu Mansion." The military department is naturally under the jurisdiction of Taifu. In this way, under the Prime Minister's house, there are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, Honglu Temple, Sinong Temple, and Tai Hospital, exactly nine. The entire imperial court structure is the system of three princes and nine ministries. ”
Yang Du said a lot of departments, some Yang Rui knew, some he didn't know, so he had to ask: "What is that Sinong Temple in charge of." Could it be the Ministry of Agriculture? ”
Yang Du heard the meaning of happiness from the words, so he smiled and said: "It is the Ministry of Agriculture, if it is convenient." It can also be changed to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Honglu Temple can be changed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Tai Hospital can be changed to the Ministry of Medicine. ”
Yang Du was only happy because he guessed his mind, while Yang Rui was thinking about this strange three-public nine-part system. That's a government agency. Further up there is a plaque-like parliament and a false emperor. In later generations, the prime minister is the premier of the State Council, and the Taiwei is the chairman of the Zhongyang Military Commission, the fake emperor, that is, the president of the country, and of course, there is also the general secretary of the revival association. The chairman of the Central Military Commission is in hand, and the general secretary is also in hand. The premier of the State Council took it again, nine ministries. You can install a lot of your own people. In this way, even if you are not the president of the country, you still have complete power.
Yang Rui thought for a while, and suddenly thought that there was another court lieutenant, so he asked again: "What is that court lieutenant for?" Is it also a house? ”
"Yes, Mr. Cheng." Yang Rui was thinking, Yang Du was also thinking, he immediately said when he saw it: "The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate should all belong to the Tingwei Mansion." But they only have the power to enforce the law, and the legislative power should be on the side of Congress. “
"Hmm. That's the truth. Yang Rui said pretentiously, thinking in his mind who should do a good job of this court lieutenant, as well as Cai Yuanpei, Wang Jitong, Yu Zixun, Zhong Guangguan, Xu Huafeng, who should be in that position, and who should be the first premier of the State Council, himself, what should I do when the term of office is over?
Yang Rui thought about these messy things, and Yang Du next to him finished his advice, so he had to drink tea on the side. He felt that after this time, he could be regarded as Yang Jingcheng's person, and it was unknown what position he could achieve in the future. However, as a person who voted halfway, he had no merit except for helping the Revival Society to run the Congress. Why is the world being beaten by the revival society, if you want to have a good future, you still have to have the merits to do it.
Thinking of this, he saw that Yang Rui had just come back to his senses, so he said: "Mr. Jingcheng, now that Guangxu has closed the Congress, it is a good opportunity for us to create public opinion. Although the Diet will be re-elected, this second session of the Diet is likely to be very different from the first Diet. If they take advantage of this to incite the members of the National Assembly to make trouble, the gentry of the whole country will be disappointed, and the Baath Army will be able to take the opportunity to go on a northern expedition, and if it takes the rapid opening of the National Assembly as a call, it will surely win the hearts of the people and be invincible. There are still some old acquaintances in the Congress, and when I go to various places to contact them in the future, things will be done without accidents. ”
Yang Du couldn't ask about the details of the Northern Expedition, so he could only make trouble for Guangxu and the Manchu court, Yang Rui smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry. The Northern Expedition won't be so fast. Do you know what kind of constitution can be used now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty reopened the Congress? ”
"I only heard that there are going to be those ...... in the first Congress" Speaking of this, Yang Du blushed a little, "It is said that it is to clear out those troublemakers in the first Congress, and Du is among them." In addition, the power of the entire National Assembly will be greatly reduced, and it will not be much different from the consultative bureaus of the provinces, only the power to make decisions, and it will basically be just an ornament. ”
Yang Du said this, the Military Intelligence Bureau had already reported to Yang Rui, this Guangxu was really on the occasion of the Renaissance Society, under the instigation and distress of those princes Baylor, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, only those annoying and thorny congressmen were brushed, and the power of the Congress was basically collected.
"It's better to wait for the Manchus to publish the new parliamentary statutes, and then you can launch a petition for the gentry from all over the country." Yang Rui arranged for Yang Du to do what he was best at in later life, "But the petition must fail, and it would be better if there were some big things in the middle of the term, so that the gentry could be disappointed in Guangxu." As for the funding, what will be provided in the meeting, you just need to pull people to make up the number. (To be continued......)
