Chapter 49: The Difficulty of Scale (6)
The core five-member committee of the Governor's Office is composed of the heads of the party, government, military, industry, and judiciary. As the founder of the system, Weeser is quite strong in this approach. If you have to say it, Wei Ze doesn't have such a strong personality, but he doesn't know how to build other types of political systems. And Wei Ze has only received one education since he was a child, "the knife handle has to be held in his own hands".
Undoubtedly, this committee is the standard model for a knife grip.
Wei Ze was the governor of the Governor's Mansion for the Restoration of the Metropolitan Government, and the Military Council was responsible to Wei Ze himself, so he himself served as the head of the Military Council in the five departments. For the time being, Wu Qilu of the Political Affairs Department is in charge of the party affairs department, and the head of the government department at the present stage is Bi Qingshan, the "director of the Guangdong Land Issues Office," and the industrial department is actually regarded as industry and commerce. The head of the judiciary is Lin Asheng.
This kind of Standing Committee meeting is basically held frequently, and in formulating policies, everyone must meet frequently. Therefore, Lin Asheng naturally brought the issue raised by Hong Renxuan to the Standing Committee for discussion.
"The British have bad intentions, and I have long felt that I cannot make any concessions to them!" Although Li Yuchang was born in a Hui businessman, he was originally quite an elegant guy, but after he personally participated in the-for-tat struggle of interests, the murderous aura in his whole body became more and more vigorous, and those elegant spirits dissipated day by day.
Wei Ze gave Hong Renxuan a platform at that time, "Minister Hong has no problem doing things, and he can grasp the policy, he doesn't want to go to war with the British so simply, I don't think there is anything wrong with him." ”
"You can't let him do anything!" Li Yuchang is not as tolerant of Hong Renxuan as Wei Ze.
Wei Ze waved his hand, "Let's not talk about Hong Renxuan first, let me talk about my opinion." What we are responsible for here is to formulate policies, and Hong Renxuan does not have the authority to make policies, and his job is to implement them. Therefore, our standard for evaluating Hong Renxuan cannot be that he did it to make us satisfied! Rather, it is to prove whether there is a problem with our policies, and to prove whether there is a problem with our personnel arrangements and our own ability to implement policies. When we evaluate whether he did a good job or not, we just don't tell him to accomplish something and then leave it alone. If you don't quit the violence, you will be a thief. ”
Wu Qilu was in charge of the party, he listened carefully to Wei Ze's words with a full face, and wrote them down from time to time. Bi Qingshan and Lin Asheng were both quite veteran people, and what Wei Ze said made them think about it and nodded slightly. However, Li Yuchang, although he was a businessman, did not really command thousands of troops or engaged in a lot of administrative work. So he was more unhappy at this time.
Wei Ze continued: "If you don't teach, you will be abused, if you don't refrain from seeing it as violence, and if you slow it, you will be a thief. When doing things, don't keep making adjustments in the process, and make sure that things get the results you expect, that is tyranny. I was slack in coping with it in the early stage, but suddenly gave the following completion date, that is the thief! Therefore, after we have formulated our own policies, we must first let the comrades who implement them understand the policies, and we must constantly test their actions in the process to see if they have deviated from the policies. Nor can you start by ignoring and then suddenly telling them the date of completion. We have to take responsibility for ourselves, and this is democratic centralism. ”
Li Yuchang was speechless, but the still tight mouth, slightly frowning brows, and especially the stern expression on his face all proved that he was still very excited at this time.
Wei Ze smiled and said: "Then let's make sure again, have the policies we formulated, and the basic conditions of the policies formulated at that time changed?" Who's going to talk about it first? ”
Li Yuchang was silent, this is because he is very angry, and secondly, he joined late and his status is low, and he has no chance to intervene in many policy formulations, and at the same time he is not able to intervene in discussions.
Bi Qingshan, the head of the government, said: "We didn't think much about the position of the British people when we formulated the policy at that time, and we didn't think much about the attitude of the British people. At that time, the military side thought that the British would not interfere in our operations in Canton in the short term, so they could seize this opportunity to expand the volume of industrial imports with the British. As for other policies, when we formulated them, we all aimed at speeding up the overall control of Guangdong. Now the task is basically done. ”
After the head of the administrative department finished speaking, Lin Asheng, the head of the judicial department, said: "We have set up a defensive line between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, and when dealing with the gang of people who smoke big cigarettes, the purpose is to jointly attack the local tyrants in Guangdong." It did not directly deal with the British big tobacco merchants. Now that the market has recovered, we have basically completed our task. ”
After the other two finished speaking, Wei Ze turned to Li Yuchang, "Comrade Li Yuchang, it's your turn." ”
"Me?" Li Yuchang was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated and said: "I was in charge of diplomatic work at the time, and now I don't do this anymore." ”
"You just have to talk about the work you were in charge of, the policies you made, and the implementation of them." Weeser corrected.
Li Yuchang then understood, he thought about it, and said a little unconfidently: "I am doing business with foreigners, from the introduction of artillery to the introduction of iron-making technicians, as well as the introduction of rubber seeds, these work has been completed. ”
After waiting for a few people to finish, Wei Ze said: "Then the work we formulated half a year ago has now been completed." As a result, the contradictions between us and the British have intensified. Obviously, when it comes to formulating policy later, since the British have considerable strength, the reaction of the British cannot be completely ignored when it comes to formulating policy in the future. That's probably what it is, right? ”
Several other people in the meeting listened to this simple summary, thought for a while, and said that things had indeed come to this point. Wei Ze saw that everyone had reached a consensus, and then said calmly: "We don't have a navy, and the armed forces at sea are weak, so it is difficult to compete with the British at sea." So I didn't want to fight directly with the British from the beginning, and we wanted to engage in a strategy of keeping the enemy out of the country, but obviously we couldn't do it. If the British came from the sea, how to defend, how to counterattack. None of us have any relevant experience. ”
Wei Ze said it frankly, and everyone was a little stunned. Until today, Weeser gave everyone the impression that he was calm and unhurried, and that he was always able to come up with various ways to win battles. It was really the first time that Weeser admitted that he was not sure of winning.
Lin Asheng is second only to Wei Ze in his military career, and he said: "The governor has no intention of admitting defeat." ”
Wei Ze nodded, a hearty smile on his face, but everyone could see that Wei Ze's eyes were not smiling at all. Not only did he not smile, but Wei Ze's eyes became extremely sharp, and they were eyes full of will to fight. There was even more enthusiasm in Wei Ze's voice, "Of course I have no intention of losing. The British dared to be so self-righteous and relied on their military might. A powerful navy, quite warlike 6 Army. The reason why they dare to fight us now is nothing more than to open up the Chinese market and make a lot of money from the Chinese market. I can now tell comrades very clearly that I don't really care about making money for the British. Business, it would probably be nice to be able to maintain the balance between imports and exports. It's not something I've only thought about right now, it's always been what I've always thought. The problem now is that the British feel that they can solve us by force and force us to owe the alliance under the city. I now want to fight the British in order to dispel this unrealistic idea of the British. They didn't have to expect force to make me bow my head. Of course, I wonder if the comrades think the same way as me? ”
"The British barbarians don't even want to beat me!" Li Yuchang said.
"I used to follow the Governor, and I will follow the Governor in the future!" Lin Asheng didn't say anything harsh.
"We have fought until today, and we will naturally continue to fight!" Bi Qingshan's attitude is very clear.
"The subordinates obey the superiors, and of course we obey the governor." Wu Qilu's statement is also very clear.
Of course, Wei Ze's question was not to make others turn against him, and whoever dared to retreat from the battle, or the attitude of fear of war, Wei Ze would immediately find a way to get rid of that person. Since these people have made their positions clear, he also continued to say in a very rational manner, "Therefore, we are fighting for peace. If we reject the British's desire to make money by selling cigarettes, we do not mean that we have to refuse the British's desire to make money in China. I'm going to give you another introduction to the history of Britain now, so that you can understand why the British are so good. Why didn't they take us into account at all. ”
Crises certainly bring great dangers and great pressure. But Weeser firmly believes that a crisis is also an opportunity, and at least half a year ago, if Weeser put forward the idea that the British are very good, these people under his command will not care. Because the conflict between the Governor and the British was far less intense than the stage of war. Now, without Weeser emphasizing, the senior cadres are beginning to listen very carefully about the history of the British.
It took nearly two hours to listen to the history of the British hegemony in the world against the world map, and to make up for the history of Europe by the way.
"Britain is a country based on industry and the sea, it seems really amazing!" Li Yuchang, who was originally very dissatisfied with the British, was able to speak with a very rational attitude. And this attitude was echoed by the other three.
Weeser took a sip and moistened his throat, "When I say Britain now, it's true that war may break out soon. But I would like to say that China is not a small island country, and our area is almost the size of the whole of Europe. We are not as divided as Europe is, at war with each other. Do you think I'm afraid of war with the British? ”
Everyone shook their heads, and even though the strength of the British was very clearly described, Weese's attitude was still full of confidence.
"The crisis of this war is difficult, but I believe we can get through it. By the time the British believed that they could not conquer us by force, they had already paid a huge price in front of them. Even in order to earn the money back, the British will be forced to choose to live in peace with us. At that time, we had to not only do business with the British, but also learn industry from the British. As long as we also develop industry and provide social services, including education, to the state, we will build a modern nation-state. Then we only need to bury our heads in the work for more than 30 years to become a stronger country than the United Kingdom. At that time, we will be able to build a new China that is unprecedentedly powerful and whose territory is several times larger than it is now. The British were nothing then. ”
There was a heat in Wei Ze's voice, with a faint cruel smile on his face, and he said in a firm tone: "We are all very young, I believe you must be able to see how we smashed the eggs of the British when we were strong!" They must be rolling on the ground, wailing, begging us to bypass them. At that time, we can condescendingly sue them, and this qiē is all self-inflicted! ”
