"The Revolutionary Party dissolves the National Assembly and calls for early elections." The headline in the JoongAng Daily surprised the soldier in a woolen military uniform with a mustache, and he handed the newspaper to the fat man in a suit next to him: "Mr. Kedi, do you think this is?" ”

"Do you need to say it? Songpa. People don't have it at all, and we soldiers take it seriously, and we have an early parliamentary election, but we just want to maintain the position of the majority party in the parliament so as to balance that Wu Dashuai. ”

"In this case, will it make the annoyance of the north angry, and simply solve it by force?" Cai Songpo, of course, also understood that the revolutionary party's hand was too shameless, and first took advantage of the fact that the congress was still in control to vote and pass the "Organic Law of the National Assembly," which almost unabashedly transferred the personnel power and the supreme judicial power belonging to the president to the congress, and also divided the power to examine and approve the state financial plan into a dual system, and the president and the congress had to start over again if they did not pass it, so the era of the president managing the votes was gone forever.

In fact, the central government in Nanjing does not have much money now, and the provincial and local government expenditures were still large before the four years of the Republic, but after losing a large amount of territory, they have fallen sharply compared to the central government's expenditures. But even when provincial and local government expenditures are added to central government expenditures, the total represents only a small percentage of China's GDP, accounting for only 3.2-6% during the first year of the Republic. Comparable figures for the United States are 8.2 per cent, 14.3 per cent in the four years of the Republic and 19.7 per cent in the five years of the Republic. In terms of national income, the Nanking government's expenditure was very small, reflecting both the narrowness of the state's tax base and the limited size of the modern part of the economy, which was actually required to bear the largest burden of the national government's tax revenue.

The deficit of the Nanjing government, which is operating in debt, was mainly made up by borrowing, and in the five years of the Republic, the government borrowed a total of 267 million yuan in various domestic debts. Debt repayment and military expenditure accounted for more than two-thirds of the total expenditure, of which debt repayment expenditure accounted for 25 to 20 percent, and by the way, there was also 60 million Gengzi indemnity, President Qiao and the sages of the revolutionary party thought that people did not know what to do without faith, and since they were so willing to bear the debt of my grandson in the Qing Dynasty, they should not care about the lack of money.

At the National Fiscal Conference held in the fourth year of the Republic, the Nanjing government formally ceded 65 percent of the national income to the provinces. At the time, this was not so much a policy aimed at improving the admittedly chaotic fiscal management inherited from the immediate Beijing regime as it was an acknowledgment of political reality by the Nanjing government. It means that, in return for the empty political support, China's nominal central government waives any financial demands on a portion of the economy. Any attempt to overhaul an unfair system of land endowment was abandoned, with the result that a large part of potential agricultural tax revenues were withheld and society could not use it for public welfare.

In the process of sorting out the finances, the Nanjing government also established a budgetary system, introduced direct taxes, abolished excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and abolished the centigold. In terms of the abolition of the centigold, in recent years, Jove promulgated the abolition of the domestic tax ordinance, but due to the turbulence of the times, it was not really implemented until his death. In the year of the general election, all kinds of centime and taxes changed from centime to the name of the centime were abolished, so that domestic goods could be unimpeded, and of course it was needless to say what the purpose was. In the past five years, more than 7,100 kinds of excessively miscellaneous taxes have been abolished in 25 provinces and municipalities across the country, with a total amount of more than 67 million yuan. In terms of the implementation of direct taxes, the "Provisional Regulations on Income Tax, etc." were promulgated in July of the 5th year of the Republic of China, and the tax was officially levied on October 1 of the same year. These four fiscal measures are sufficient to keep China's finances on the right track. It's a pity that what can really be implemented is only the northern provinces and Jiangxi, Fujian, plus half of Guangdong, and the southwest region is still the same.

"Resolved by force? I'm afraid not. His reputation as Wu Chenxuan is much more valuable than that of these revolutionary leaders. "Huang Kedi knows a lot about this old opponent, he doesn't think that this young old fox will make such a low-level mistake, but those pretentious scholars in his party started a stupid race one by one." Brother Songpo, look at it, Wu Chenxuan will not use force, but if he plans to win the position of president, I think he can still try it with his prestige when Qiao Fu is alive, Hu Chuanru and Wang Zhaoming, these scholars can fight him Wu Chenxuan. ”

"Let's see." ended the conversation between the two with such a sentence, Cai Songpo felt that Huang Dujun's confidence in the revolutionary party seemed to be very insufficient, and he really didn't know what kind of character Wu Chenxuan was that young man.

However, if he could see this young and successful Wu Dashuai, he would probably be very surprised, because he discussed with several of his henchmen how to elect a shield to become president.

"I can't help but say that these revolutionaries are simply too whimsical." Xiong Bingsan has been dealing with the revolutionary party for a long time, and he really can't stand the drama of the revolutionary party. Do you think that an early election and a seizure of power in Congress will suffocate a living person? "If it weren't for the fact that the chief didn't want to go out of the mountain now, he wouldn't be able to sing this little trick for three days and two mornings."

"It seems that they want to regain control of the Congress, give up the position of president, and play the trick of parliamentary checks and balances with us, which is just an old trick of Song Dunchu back then, picking up people's teeth and wisdom." Xu Juren is now in charge, and he looks down on this Hu Chuanru very much, he has great ambitions but no means, and he is strong both outside and inside, and no one wants him to be a king. "But chief, do you think that if we continue to keep taoguang and cultivate obscurity, will some of the comrades below be a little disappointed?"

"No matter what they do, a group of villains who tend to be inflammatory, just take this opportunity to purge the irresolute elements in various departments." Duan Zhiquan has always been strict with himself and more strictly restraining his subordinates, but he really can't understand why he is so lenient to his few cronies?

"Speaking of this early congressional election, we can no longer participate in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, I heard that this congressional election requires registration according to party affiliation, and other organizations are not allowed to run. I wonder what the chief decides? "Chen Tianhua has assumed the name of the other side, but he prefers to engage in organizational work, Zou Rong's status on the propaganda front has been unanimously recognized by all the bigwigs, and now he is semi-openly serving as the head of the propaganda department, but he still uses Tieliu's pen name, plus some changes in his face during the treatment, except for the relatives who are very familiar with him, there are not many people who can associate this middle-aged man who is full of northern official dialect with the pawn of the revolutionary army, and Lianzhang Maniac visited the "China Forum" I talked face-to-face with Tie Liu for half an hour, but I didn't realize that this was his fellow refugee in prison.

"I also think it's time for us to take the road of political parties, after all, under the current system, the ancient precept of a gentleman not a party has little practical significance, and the representation of the chamber of commerce is not extensive, which has seriously limited our work to win more mass bases, so that we have not obtained a position in politics that matches our strength." Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua's views are relatively similar, after all, these two people are in charge of the organization and the other in charge of propaganda, and they have the most profound sense of the urgency of the struggle of the political party.

"Well, in that case, we will also start to reform the political work department of the Chamber of Commerce and form our political party on this basis." Seeing that most of the military and political dignitaries nodded in agreement, Wu Chenxuan put the belly case that had been considered for a long time on the table, "Is the name of the political party, everyone can brainstorm." Let me first propose an outline of the program, and how about we supplement and revise it together? ”

Of course, everyone has no opinion, and if the boss does not speak, it is not a joke if he says something that does not agree with his wishes, and if someone turns over old accounts in the future, saying that he and the leader's ideas are not the same, and he once sang the opposite tune when the party was founded, it will be an indelible stain. In addition to the old bureaucrats who have become sophisticated, the generals who have been in battle for a long time, the giant businessmen who have been up and down in the business world, and even Zou Rong and Chen Tianhua are also capable officials who have independently led a department for several years.

"Our political party is the political party of all Chinese citizens who love China, abide by their civic duties, and are willing to work hard for the rise of China, regardless of region, gender, race, wealth, origin or religious belief, we are willing to unite the vast majority of Chinese citizens, work together, help each other in the same boat, and make selfless contributions for the future of our country and nation." Wu Chenxuan said this, coughed lightly, and continued: "The basic program of our party can be summarized into four leads: leading the majority of party members to work together to fight for the party's highest goal, leading the people of all social strata to strive for building a harmonious and orderly beautiful homeland, leading all the Yanhuang and Miao descendants who are willing to identify with the culture of the Chinese nation to struggle for the healthy development of the motherland, and leading all positive and progressive forces in the world to strive for the beautiful vision of world harmony. Striving for the rise of the Chinese nation and consistently adhering to the party's program and highest goal are the basic line of our party for a certain period of time. ”

"Oh, dare to ask the chief what is the highest goal of our party?" Xu Juren asked, which was also the question that others were most concerned about.

"The highest goal is the ultimate rise and great integration of the Chinese nation, with the Chinese nation as the core, leading all countries and nations in the world who are willing to coexist peacefully with the Chinese nation to jointly create a better future for mankind and realize the beautiful vision of the great harmony of the human world." Wu Chenxuan's words were sonorous and powerful, and all the military and political dignitaries couldn't help but straighten their backs together when they heard the words, and after a while, applause sounded like a torrential rain in this conference room.

"General seat, I see that all the brothers have nothing to say about the party building program you proposed, so you can give our party a name." He Xingtian happily applauded and shouted loudly, Xu Juren, Xiong Bingsan, Zhang Nanjiang, Duan Zhiquan, the big guys all exchanged glances, this rough man is also a good person, the level of this sycophant is not ordinary, it seems that he is also a realistic version of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie,

"Okay, I'll just put forward a name I tentatively put forward for everyone to discuss." Wu Chenxuan is no longer hypocritical, "Since our party takes the rise of China as its own responsibility, and wants to get rid of the old and establish the new, how about calling it the Xinhua Party?" ”

"Xinhua Party!" "Okay, it's the Xinhua Party." "Good name, I'm in favor of it." "Long live the Xinhua Party!" In the midst of the uproar, a new political party, the Xinhua Party, which was destined to dominate the future of China, was born in the conference room of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce on October 19, the sixth year of the Republic.
