Daewonjun, who was actually in power in Goryeo, was an old fritter, and he was not overjoyed or shocked after receiving the telegram from Kim Sam-soon. The request to China was not really an idea that Dayuanjun had just regained power, but a suggestion made by Jin Yujun and others who had studied in China.

The Republic of China attached great importance to urban construction, Jin Yujun and others went to school at the Wuhan Railway Institute, and watched the rapid development of Chinese cities and the crazy implementation of a large number of infrastructure construction, and listened to some development theories. It is not so easy for these people to understand that the productive forces promote social development, after all, if Jin Yujun wants to understand the productive forces of the Republic of China, they must first understand modern science. This is too disjointed for those who take it for granted to become an official after reading the books of the sages. It is easier for them to understand that infrastructure drives social spending, and that things that do not require the support of science and mathematics are easy to understand. Money, after the Republic of China started the money printing machine, it can be seen everywhere, and Jin Yujun and others are also very supportive of the issuance of paper money.

Just last year, Goryeo purged the Min Fei group and cut off trade with Japan. After more than half a year of purging, the domestic situation in Goryeo has stabilized somewhat. After a little stabilization, the Goryeo officials who cared about the country jumped out and demanded "the development of the Goryeo economy."

"Your Majesty," Jin Yujun's expression was firm, and his voice was also very firm, "When I was in the Min Dynasty, I saw that the Min Dynasty was vigorously building key cities in China. Especially in the capital city of Nanjing, the Min Dynasty spent a lot of money. As far as we know, all this money goes to the workers who work, and when they have the money, they can live and buy household goods. The economy of the entire Republic of Korea immediately became active. Wang Shang has seen so many pictures of Nanjing in the Republic of China, and has also heard many stories. The capital was prosperous, and taxes were immediately a lot of money. Wechen has already written several memoranda, and I think the king has seen it. The Min Dynasty has far outperformed the Manchu Qing Dynasty in recent years, because they used such methods. Although the population of Goryeo is not as large as that of the Minchao, there are tens of millions. If this method is used, the people's lives will certainly be much better. ”

After Jin Yujun finished speaking, other officials who had studied in China also expressed their positions. They were deeply impressed by the wealth of the Min Dynasty, and the economic policies of the Min Dynasty also made these people yearn for it without understanding it. Kim Yujun's proposal was not what Jin Yujun thought of alone, and these officials were also more or less involved.

If it's just a few people's suggestions, Dayuanjun may really be willing to listen to it. Now that there is such a group of people supporting it, Dayuanjun instinctively has the intention of opposing it in his heart. For the monarch, any political variable triggers political upheaval. Political turmoil, regardless of its original purpose, can shake the regime. Therefore, the best development is when everything can be frozen and unchanged at the moment when the interests of the monarch are maximized. Only in this way can power last for generations to come.

However, after all, Dayuanjun is an old fritter who has experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and he himself knows very well that this is just his imagination. The world can never be static, and in the first half of the life of Dayuanjun, it was the Manchu Qing who ruled China. Then the Manchus rolled into the dustbin of history in less than a decade. The new rise of the Republic of China is not a continuation of the past, but is developing at an astonishing rate. Living forever in the good old days is a longing for everyone, but it's just a longing.

"The treasury is still empty, where is the money to build a large number of buildings." Dayuanjun found a very common-sense reason. However, what he said was actually very unreasonable, because the first thing Daewonjun did after he really took power was to build a large number of buildings and rebuild Gyeongbokgung Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace was the main palace of the Goryeo Dynasty, covering a vast area and the scale of the palace was a symbol of majestic royal power, but it was burned down during the Imjin Rebellion during the reign of Seonjo of Goryeo. Since then, successive kings have lived in other palaces such as Changdeokgung Palace. Due to the huge amount of money required to rebuild Gyeongbokgung Palace, the reconstruction plan was put on hold for more than 260 years, until April of the fourth year of Tongji (1865), when the newly ruled Daewonjun decisively ordered the reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

I have such an action, and at this time, I came to refute others to build the new capital of Seoul, no matter how the tone of the Dayuan Jun is, I don't think much of it is in the hearts of the ministers who know this history very well. No matter how hard Jin Yujun and others persuaded him, Dayuanjun blocked the matter with the sentence "rest with the people". After all, not long after the coup d'état that overthrew the Min concubine clique ended, what Goryeo now ostensibly needed was stability.

Unable to take this road, Jin Yujun and others were greatly disappointed. Seeing that such a good opportunity is about to be lost, young people naturally can't hold their breath. After some discussion, they decided to do their best to push this matter forward. If you can't take the road of Dayuanjun, then you might as well go to Wei Ze, the emperor of the Minchao, if Wei Zeken ordered, with Dayuanjun's obedience to the Minchao, he will definitely be able to change his mind.

The Goryeo mission received a telegram begging Wei Ze again, and by this time the great meeting had ended, and they had no chance to see Wei Ze at all. I went to the relevant departments of the Republic of Korea to petition, and the reply I received was that "I will consult the Office of the Republic of Korea in Korea on this matter." By the time the Goryeo mission had relayed the news back to Goryeo, Li Hongzhang and the people sent by the central government had already arrived in Seoul.

Wei Ze did not deny the ability of "Li Zhongtang", but he could not really let "Li Zhongtang" act arbitrarily in Goryeo. The newly established "Office of the Republic of China in Goryeo" was a bureau-level unit, with Li Hongzhang as the director of the office and Senior Colonel Yan Fu, a young cadre who had just passed 30 years old.

Compared with Li Hongzhang, who is a tainted guy, Yan Fu, who is also a general, is already a good root. When he was still studying in the Fujian Naval Academy, Yan Fu came into contact with the leaflets of the Guangfu Army. The young student read the leaflet and saw the Fujian Qing Army, which had been defeated by the Liberation Army, and the young man who had a deep sense of responsibility for supporting his family was moved. After watching the Liberation Army defeat the British invading army in Foshan, the thirteen-year-old Yan Fu left the school and ran to the Guangdong Liberation Army.

Educated, still a naval professional, and more knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine, Yan Fu, a compound young talent, soon became a key training object in the army. For more than ten years, he has been in the navy and has entered the military academy several times for further study. Colonel Yan Fu participated in several naval battles, and just after he participated in the Battle of Ceylon and defeated the British fleet with his comrades, he suddenly received an order to serve as a military attache in the British embassy. Two years later, his work period expired, and after returning to China, he went to the party school for further study. After the study period expired, he was ready to continue to serve in the army, and received an order from Wei Ze to serve as the party secretary of the office of the Republic of China in Goryeo.

Before leaving, Yan Fu's old leader Wei Ze also met Yan Fu in person, and when he met, Wei Ze made it clear, "I am not worried about Li Hongzhang's ability, but we are the party commanding the gun, and it is the party that leads the work." From this point of view, I cannot take Li Hongzhang's political ideas lightly. Therefore, arranging for Yan Fu to be the party secretary in Goryeo is to ask you to take on the work of the Goryeo office. ”

Carrying the mission of the motherland and the trust of the governor. The first thing Secretary Yan Fu did when he arrived in Goryeo was not to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but to immediately convene a formal meeting.

"Comrades, we are all members of the newly established office, and we are a whole group. The party committee is naturally in a leading position in the group. Therefore, within a month starting today, we will sort out the party organization in the entire office system. The Liberation Party has never been a closed organization, and we do not refuse comrades who have the requirements to be motivated; as long as they meet the standards for party membership and go through the assessment of the party organization, we will selectively recruit qualified new comrades. As the party secretary, this is also my responsibility. "Yan Fu is now in reserve, so he is not wearing a navy uniform, but an olive green reserve uniform. An olive-green octagonal hat was worn on the head instead of a large-brimmed hat, and the reserve uniform was more akin to ordinary clothing, in order to clearly distinguish the difference between active duty and reserve. However, the two-bar and four-star class chapter made Yuan Weiting and others very envious. As long as he is promoted to another level, Yan Fu will be a general. A general of the republic, that is, a real big man from above. Although the age is about the same as Yan Fuxiang, the difference in status between the two sides can be very different.

Yan Fu didn't care about other people's eyes, from the moment he joined the Guangfu Army, he had already invested his life in this army that made Yan Fu feel extremely powerful at that time. For more than ten years, this army and this party have never disappointed Yan Fu. At this time, facing his new colleagues, Yan Fu was still immersed in the emotions of the conversation with Wei Ze not long ago.

In the fleet, he worked as a military doctor, as a pilot, as a captain, and as a political commissar. Yan Fu couldn't understand what Wei Ze meant, and he asked in a deep voice, "Governor, am I going to be a secretary or a supervisor?" ”

Wei Ze replied calmly: "Of course, I want to be a secretary." The reason why I chose you is because we work in Korea with national interests in mind, which is different from working in China. The biggest difference is that the policies we pursue at home are aimed at the prosperity, progress, and liberation of the people. To a certain extent, the actions in Goryeo have made the Goryeo people rich and progressive, because only by following this basic law can China's interests be satisfied to the greatest extent. We can't fish all the way to Goryeo, because fishing is not going to maximize China's interests. Can you understand that? ”

Yan Fu could understand Wei Ze's words, and he replied, "I will try to follow the rules. ”

When I was a teenager, in addition to carrying a gun, I also had to work as a nurse and a doctor. The first time he treated a dislocation, the first time he stitched up a wound, the first time he took the helm, the first time he participated in a naval battle. Before doing these tasks, Yan Fu had conducted a full preview, and the practice process was far from the preparation and preparation. As I grew up and became more experienced, the gap between prediction and reality narrowed. But Yan Fu also deeply understands one thing, the gap between imagination and practice is often as big as heaven and earth.

quickly stabilized his mood, Yan Fu said: "I was born in the army, and the army is about discipline, and it is also about democracy. We began by finalizing the organizational structure of the new office in Korea. What is the leading unit, what is the administrative unit, the relationship between the two units, the responsibilities, and the corresponding democratic decision-making process. Do you have any opinions on this? ”

Li Hongzhang, Yuan Weiting, Wang Shizhen, Cao Kun and others have never really worked at the upper level, and they have heard a little about the terms "leadership unit" and "office unit", but they have never really understood it. Now Yan Fu asked, and everyone shook their heads, "Please Secretary Yan give us a good talk!" ”

The leading body is the one who makes decisions, and the office is the one who implements the decisions. In Weeser's ideals, he hoped to be able to complete the establishment of this system. And the outstanding members were recruited into the Liberation Party, and eventually a stable system was formed. Of course, in the traditional bureaucracy, this can also be seen as the difference between officials and officials.

Fortunately, Yan Fu is a soldier, and the commanders and fighters in the army are commanders and combatants, and military democracy is a discussion in advance. In addition to strictly implementing the tactical training of "sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime," the political propaganda of why to fight in peacetime and the basic principles of implementation in wartime should be clearly explained to the troops, and commanders at all levels should be able to play a leading role. It's a very complicated and simple thing, and the core is whether there is an organizational concept or not. If you consider yourself a member of the organization, this is easy to do.

Li Hongzhang has never had the opportunity to really blend in with the upper echelons, and his position is just that of a clerk. He originally thought that Yan Fu was just going to be clear and humble. didn't expect Yan Fu to be able to tell such a truth, and the biggest feeling in Li Hongzhang's heart was chagrin. When Wei Ze didn't give him a chance, Li Hongzhang found that he hadn't even touched the door of the core power class.

Yuan Weiting, Wang Shizhen and others were pleasantly surprised, the fog between what they thought was the road to the pinnacle of power and the real road was finally completely lifted. Both of them found that as long as they followed the system and showed their abilities. The door of power is not closed to people like them who are not very well-born.
