Chapter 58 The work of building the association

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The reason why ideological construction is difficult is because it is an invisible thing, and there is no way to test it through any instrument, and even by observing words and deeds, it is not possible to get an accurate answer. In addition to being untestable, there are two things that are also difficult to do.

The first is how to get the members to accept the ideas and ideas of the revival society, and the red party in later generations will use endless meetings and rectifications to completely unify their thoughts, this method will be useful in the short term but will be ineffective in the long run, and when the leader starts to talk at length with a manuscript written entirely by the secretary, the people below have already been distracted; As for the rectification and other methods, it is still necessary in many cases, and in the process of carrying out the revolution, there will always be people who will fork into other ways, and these people should be completely eliminated, but in the final analysis, this rectification is still the ideological construction of the members is not in place, and it really needs to be in place, so what kind of rectification is needed.

The second most difficult thing to do in ideological construction is to explain the Revival itself. As a political party, he is alive like a human being, and since there is life, then he has to explain "Who am I?" Where did it come from? Where to go? "These three questions.

Who is our enemy and who is our friend is the key question of the revolution -- Taizu's words are still in his ears. But many people forget that when they read this famous saying, he also has a premise, that is, "Who am I?" ”。 If there is no determination of "who I am", then there is no way to determine "who is not me". Friends and enemies are in "not me", so the key question of the revolution is not to distinguish "who is our enemy and who is our friend", but to understand "who am I?" ”

Rather, it is necessary to understand "Who am I?" Then there is another premise, that is, where do I come from? "Or in layman's terms - who do I represent." Who am I" and "who do I represent" is actually a question, and according to Max's theory, society is hierarchical. Whichever class you come from, you will naturally represent which class, so analyzed, then "Who am I?" "It's a very understandable question. However, for the Revival. According to this logical analysis, then the answer is a bit absurd, the members of the revival will basically be intellectuals, enthusiastic scholars, except for the 6 factories in the commercial system with child laborers, the other 95% are intellectuals.

Can China be built well with intellectuals? Yang Rui found it difficult. It is not because these people are not excellent, but because they are too good to be easily isolated by the public, and in the final analysis, this kind of excellence only means that the individuals are very good, not that they are perfect revolutionaries and politicians. From the perspective of deconstruction and analysis, the Revival Society is a small group of advanced, excellent, and patriotic intellectuals rebelling, and its biggest advantage over other organizations is that it has a lucrative business system to support it. The army under his command is, in the final analysis, a mercenary army, except for the junior non-commissioned officers. If one day the business system collapses and the salary cannot be paid, then there is a great possibility that this army will disperse, not to mention that it is like the old Eighth Route Army, or it is inferior to the red soldiers of Ruijin.

Since it is impossible to start from "Where did it come from?" "Derive" who I am? Then there is only a general reference. The definition of the Revival Society is: The Revival Society is the vanguard of the Chinese nation. It is the leading core of enriching and strengthening China and rejuvenating China; It represents the requirements of the development of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of progress of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the Chinese people. The highest ideal of the Renaissance Society is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

A very simple sentence, Yang Rui has always skipped when he read the Red Party Constitution before, but it is such a short sentence that completely explains "Who am I?" Where did it come from? Where to go? "These are the three key questions. With this as the guideline, the short, medium, and long-term goals of the Revival Society are also very clear. The short-term goal is the revolution of political power, that is, the armed struggle to gain political power in China or most of the provinces of China. The peasants and the Hui Party were friends, as were the majority of the enlightened gentry, a few officials in the Manchu system and the New Army, and the workers in the great treaty ports of Shanghai, Hankow, and Tientsin. As for the other revolutionary parties, they are not so simple as friends. Compared to those above who could be included in the Renaissance Society, they were also revolutionaries, with guns and armies. If you want to centralize power after the revolution, then you must be on guard now, and you can only be on guard, if you really want to fight with them once, then it will be unacceptable inside and outside the meeting.

The seizure of power is the short-term goal, while the medium-term goal is economic revolution, or economic reform. This reform is divided into two parts, one is land reform, and the other is the reform of the economic operation mechanism. Land is the source of wealth, and failure to reform the land will not help the economy to develop soundly. Of course, according to the actual situation, the future land reform cannot be very drastic, not to mention that the population and land concentration in this era are not as strict as in later generations, and the strength of the Revival Society itself is very insufficient, and the Red Party in later generations has more than 6 million party members when it was founded, many of which have been tempered by years of war, and such people can be used as a platoon when they pull one out, and Yang Rui, a qualified party member of the Revival Society, will laugh at the time of the founding of the country.

In addition to land reform, the reform of the economic operation mechanism is also the focus of economic reform, what is the economic operation mechanism, in Yang Rui's view, is the five aspects of finance (currency), finance, taxation, law, and government policy, among which currency and taxation are the most difficult. It is still somewhat difficult for Chinese, who have been accustomed to using silver money for thousands of years, to use paper money, and even more difficult is that China's monetary sovereignty has long been encroached upon by foreign banks, and it will take a lot of effort to regain it. However, these are still relatively simple, the most difficult is the tax reform, because the agricultural tax has to re-measure the land, and at other times it will explode civil unrest, but if it is combined with land reform, the difficulty is very small. As for the tariffs, it is even bigger, this Chinese tariff has been controlled by the British since its establishment, and later generations seem to have tariffs independent around 193o, which is too long, Yang Rui can't wait. Without the protection of tariffs, the immature national industry is just scum, and it cannot grow at all.

After the regime revolution and economic reform, the next goal is to revive Chinese civilization, as for this purely metaphysical issue, Yang Rui has no idea, and this work is not to be completed in a short period of time, it is estimated that it will take one or two hundred years to change China's culture under the inertia of more than 2,000 years of imperial inertia, Yang Rui guesses that what his generation can do is only to mark the direction.

Since going to the Northeast. Yang Rui continued to send his thoughts on the revolution to Shanghai, and then after discussion and correction by Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, Zhong Guanguan, Wang Jitong, Yu Zixun, and Xu Huafeng, they were sent to the headquarters of the Fuxing Association in Wan'anli, where these boring things were re-edited and perfected as the party's guiding text. At the same time, with this spirit as the leading, he created some novels, storytelling, operas, songs and other things that the public likes to see. There is a way, and the text carries the way. In the same way that Hollywood continued to promote American culture in movies, the brainwashing method of guò literature and art was the most effective, rather than a meeting.

Tongguò Wan'anli headquarters, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a puppet of foreigners, and there are many literary and artistic works that can be revived only when the intellectual youth of China unite to revive China. The short stories of the novels are not counted, and the long ones are the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Appearance of Officialdom. Of course, the entire story framework of the Condor has been revised, although there are some differences in style from the original book, but this novel is written in the vernacular, which is not a problem for ordinary people, and this has also been adapted into a storytelling. The main target is the masses of the people; In addition to changing the original traditional repertoire, the drama has also compiled a lot of Western dramas and sketches described by Yang Rui, especially now that the Revival Army is resisting Russia in the northeast, many small battles in the war diary can be taken out and made into dramas.

Under the influence of so many literary and artistic works, and under the call of the broken battle flag of the revival army in the northeast wasteland, "participating in the revival meeting and fighting to the northeast" has become a new trend. Enthusiastic young people from all over China came to Shanghai, and they all stayed at the Longmen Inn in the concession, and after the inn was full of more than 100 rooms, they stayed in the hostel next to it. Young people living in inns will find a form in their inn room, and if they fill it out and send it to the designated place, they will be admitted to a school after being examined.

In the school, they will be examined at the same time as the class, and they will be divided into two parts according to their ability and reliability: those who do not know the details but have the ability generally enter the construction system, and they are basically studying abroad; The information network of the educational associations in the various places - these students have basically attended the school, and the local school in the city still knows a lot - can be verified as reliable people. Generally, they enter the revolutionary system and become a three-year probationary member, basically by studying at a military academy or entering a civilian position; As for those who do not go to study abroad but cannot be sure of their reliability, they are generally sent to various parts of the country to carry out revolutionary propaganda work, and if they feel reliable, they become probationary members. Of course. Before becoming a probationary member, I basically had a one-line contact with the headquarters, and I didn't know anything about other things in the Revival Society.

Although many of these two hundred people do not know anything about how to make a revolution, these people have perseverance, after all, they can leave home and join the revolution, and this courage is still not small. However, it will take a long time to train these students who have not yet shed their childish spirit into capable and determined revolutionaries.

Wang Jitong sat in the office on the fourth floor of Wan'anli, flipping through all kinds of newly arrived texts. Although under the influence of Yang Rui, the Wen Jiàn of the headquarters is also divided into four categories according to importance and urgency, he still feels very busy, in addition to the large number of members, the construction of the propaganda system and the financial system based on Shanghai have begun to be put on the agenda. Ideological education work is the focus of the work of the Renaissance Society, and the propaganda system is the mouthpiece of the Renaissance Association, and preparations have begun for the establishment of a broadcasting network and a newspaper in Shanghai. However, in order not to be seized by the Manchu Qing Dynasty like the original Su Bao, it is necessary to reduce the revolutionary nature, and it is still necessary to change people's minds subtly with the help of the new literary style of the novel, especially with the help of the new literary style of the novel, and the propaganda revolution in the wind and rain. In addition, there is the construction of the financial system, the printing press ordered in the United States in the first half of the year has arrived, the factory has been basically built, the establishment of a bank has been put on the agenda, and now the entire concession is basically a foreigner's bank, as for the Chinese, except for the China International Commercial Bank, there is only a money bank, so it is still very difficult to recruit financial personnel.

In addition to financial talent, money is also important. Money is in many cases more important than law, especially in a society governed by the rule of law, where it is the greatest right. As Meyer Rothschild said, as long as I can control a country's currency, I don't care who makes the law. In order to exercise power in the area controlled by the Renaissance Society, in addition to the political power being controlled by the Renaissance Society, the currency must also be controlled by the Renaissance Society. This idea is simple to say, but there are still many difficulties in implementation. In the end, money is still credit, especially paper money that is not guaranteed by the government. There are two keys to building credit: the availability of bank outlets that can be redeemed at any time and the presence of bank outlets throughout the district, and the newly formed agricultural trading company is another.

As early as a few years ago, there were Shengjing Huafeng Official Stickers Bureau and Shengjing Huasheng Official Money Bureau in the Northeast, and the official stickers of these two bureaus still occupy a dominant position in the Northeast. It was only in the year of Gengzi. It was not until last year that the official money bureau was relinquished under the pleading of the Fengtian general Zengqi, and the money bills, silver bills, and dragon yuan bills were re-executed, but after the official money bureau was looted, there was almost no silver in the treasury. Limited credit, coupled with the war between Russia and Japan, not to mention the commercial depression, both sides bought goods in the northeast only to their own currency, Russia is okay, it is Qiangti - rubles. The Japanese are even more ruthless and only give garbage military tickets. Under such circumstances, it will not be possible for the official post to regain its dominant position in the Northeast as before. Yang Rui, on the other hand, wants to take advantage of this to expand the scope of his currency, not only in the east, but also in the whole of Liaoning and even in the northeast.

At a quarter past ten, his assistant Yu Ziyi knocked on the door and said outside the door, "Sir." It's already a quarter past ten. I'm going to see Mr. Xie at the banknote printing factory at half past ten today. ”

Wang Jitong heard this and said, "Okay, I'll come out immediately." After speaking, he carefully put the text away, got up and left.

There are many people who open money bank ticket numbers in Shanghai, but there are still very few Chinese who really understand this bank. After several introductions, Xie Lunhui of the Shibei City Money Industry Association was finally found, this person was born in Yuyao Simen, a local prominent family, and he was already the general director of the North City Money Industry Association after decades of exploration in the Shanghai money industry. Although the China International Commercial Bank, which was led by Sheng Xuanhuai, found an American class, some important decisions were made by Chen Shengjiao and Xie Lunhui.

Given the good relationship between the Revival Society and the Commercial Press. The banknote printing factory is located on Church Road, which is Dechangli on Jiangxi Road in the later years. Next to it is the printing house of the Commercial Press, and the church road is full of money villages, known as the Wall Street of Shanghai. Not long after Wang Jitong arrived in Dechangli, Xie Lunhui arrived. After the salute. Xie Lunhui introduced his two sons, in fact, the two Wang Jitong knew each other, and they both took classes in the special training class run by the Education Association -- in order to cultivate economic talents in the Fuxing Association, Yang Rui sorted out some of the more advanced content in the textbook and set up an internal training class. They also have an older brother who went on a study tour in England in his early years and has not returned.

After the ceremony, after several checkpoints, under the leadership of the person in charge Zhang Kun, everyone entered the workshop, in fact, they did not enter the workshop, but visited along a corridor with a row of glass windows in the workshop. The first thing that catches the eye is the wet paper workshop, which has a boiling cloth pool, a cloth washing machine, a cloth press, etc., ten pieces of banknote printing paper, sandwiched in the middle of the wet cloth to make it wet, in order to ensure that the paper humidity is uniform, it will be overturned every once in a while, and after reaching a certain humidity, it will be sent to the printing workshop. Gravure printing is obviously more troublesome than other printing methods, and each gravure printing machine requires three people to serve, one person to ink, one person to wipe the board, and one person to take the paper. The printed banknote paper is loaded into a wire cage and dried in the drying room, and then it is repeatedly flattened with a calender, and finally it is inspected, stamped, cut, differential, sealed and packaged, etc.

Xie Lunhui still saw woodcut and lithographic printing in the bank, the first time he saw the engraving gravure printing, he was a little surprised to see the regulations of the banknote printing factory, he took the printed one-yuan banknote and looked at the light, and sighed: "The lines of this banknote paper print are clear, concave and convex, and it is very difficult to forge, or the skills of foreigners are more profound." ”

Wang Jitong smiled: "Hey." The banknotes printed in this way are indeed difficult to forge, but the cost is quite high, not only did it cost more than 400,000 yuan to build a factory to sell machines, but the daily printing cost was many times higher than that of ordinary lithographs. The cotton cloth alone costs hundreds of pieces a month. The small banknotes printed in this way still have to lose a lot. ”

Xie Lunhui didn't see it that way, "Xiao Xu only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." This banknote is exquisitely printed and difficult to forge, but it is equivalent to more credit than other bills, and there are more people who are more creditable, so there are more people who naturally accept it, and there is no counterfeit banknote, so the bank loss is small. For the money bank, the paper money is not a big deal, the money is a big deal, there is a way is the head of the silk bolt gold ingots, there are deposits and loans to make money. "Xie Lunhui has been polishing in the money industry for decades, and he has seen a lot of counterfeit banknotes, and every time he sees it, he loses a lot.

After more than half a year of study, Wang Jitong is proficient in mathematics, and he also understands the Tao in this money industry, no matter how high the cost of this banknote is, it is much lower than the copper dollar. Just now I was just humbling. Xie Lunhui is an old-timer, and it is appropriate not to be proud.
