Julu, Zhu Jun is writing a letter, and there are more letters. Zhu Jun has written more than 20 sheets. But he doesn't think that's enough. He needed more and more content. And all of that was about the Republican Army.

Zhu Jun collected a large number of newspapers, all of which were distributed in the Republican-controlled areas, although some of the newspapers were very watery, and half of the entire page was full of advertisements. But Zhu Jun still collected these as they were. At the same time, he also put some tags on it. Record some of his views and thoughts. In this way, to reach your own attention.

There is only one destination for these letters, Huangfu Song. Huang Fu Song was relegated to go home, and he felt that it was a pity to let his old fellow go home like this, so he collected some information about what he had observed here and passed it on to the other party, so that they might still deal with the Republican Army in the future.

Zhu Jun wrote about the Hedong issue. In his view, the Hedong issue is actually an expansion of the Republican Army model, and he agrees with some of the views of the articles written in the economic section of some Republican Army newspapers, although the articles are written in the vernacular, which may sound very verbose and not rigorous in terms of logic, but in his opinion, these are already very important. In other words, such content, and to a large extent, have attracted their attention, and many changes in the situation will cause them to expand a series of times.

Zhu Jun, like Cao Cao, started from the military aspect and studied the republican army, and they also simply thought that as long as they were equipped with the weapons and equipment of the republican army and strengthened in training, they might surpass the republican army and defeat the republican army. But with some research, and more recently, an editorial written by Shang Wu himself. Regarding the series of problems existing in the exercise of the new army in the West Garden, Zhu Jun saw that a simple military problem could no longer solve the problem of the Republican Army.

And the IRA seems to be carrying out some political reforms, or rather, they have moved from the military to the political, from the political to the economic sphere, thus affecting the other aspects in one way, which is a peculiar place. They have a lot of peculiar differences in the way they behave. It is precisely this difference that causes Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to pay great attention to them.

Cao Cao also sent some of his own opinions, in comparison, Cao Cao's views were better than Zhu Jun's, or rather, because of Cao Cao's different positions, he was able to understand more deeply the huge difference between the republican army and the imperial court. The difference is intuitive and far-reaching. And Zhu Jun also expressed and wrote such a view, hoping to attract the attention of Huangfu Song, after all, such a thing is not a problem that they can solve at once.

The Hedong issue is actually a series of contradictions brought about by the Republican Army through expansion. For example, society is in a state of change, from a feudal agricultural society to an industrial society, there will inevitably be more changes, changes in land, social relations, and people's relations, and how these changes will be guided. There is a lot of trouble in this, and if you reform it directly, you will encounter a big problem, but if you expand, it will lead to the expansion of a huge market development. Factories, bankers, traders, peasants who lost their land into the field of transport. They all need a focus to attract their attention, obviously, Hedong can complete such a situation of attraction, such attraction, for them, this is extremely fair, but also the most beneficial, in such a situation, their development will inevitably be more favorable, this is their current most important situation, in such a situation, many of their things will become much more favorable, this is the current need for some special situations, This situation will be more advantageous for them.

And the expansion of Hedong went smoothly.

However, Zhu Jun was still unable to explain some of the complex political and economic relations that existed, although he had more wisdom, and from the perspective of human nature, he was able to analyze the purpose of the Republican Army's intentions, but the complex economic relations that existed made him unable to see through. Perhaps, he is destined to be a person who will be eliminated by society, in such a situation, he has too much, too much helplessness.

In Lijiazhuang, there is a small courtyard behind the War Department, which is where Shang Wu and Jia Xu rest, because the two of them actually sleep here. Actually, they could have lived here, but they came up with such a way out of necessity for fear of disturbing the rest of the two chiefs. They hope that such a small courtyard can play a certain role. After all, having a good rest can make people more focused and think, so that they can make strategic decisions.

But today, Shang Wu and Jia Xu have a lot of free time to sit here, and Shang Wu wants to send off his old friend, Big Brother. Cao Cao.

"It's not a good place to go with alcohol, but it's a good sake. It's a pity that I won't be able to drink such good wine in the future. Cao Cao took a small sip first. It is no longer possible to drink in large gulps. The increase in alcohol content makes it difficult for them to tolerate such a situation.

"Hey, how can Brother Cao do this, the wine we have here is also sold in Luoyang, and it sells well, it's really not good, I can send some over, in this way, I can also drink such good wine." Shang Wu said. The appetizer is indeed almost, cold wild vegetables, which is what ordinary people eat, and then there is a scrambled egg, and stir-fried vegetables have been generally accepted by people. However, it is also the factory area, and the business can accept such a situation, and it is impossible for other places to do this.

There is also a floor to eat vegetables, which is stewed mutton. Shang Wu spent 18 yuan a pound to buy a leg of mutton, and the stewed broth was not very meaty, and it was estimated that it was more than three catties. But for Shang Wu, it's already very good.

In there is fried beans. A tofu soup, simple and delicious.

That's all for ordinary people. Ordinary people can now eat meat twice a month. If it is a family of five and two strong men working in the factory, then they can eat meat three or four times a month. This greatly satisfies people's needs. There are many families in the countryside who have started raising their own sheep. Goat's milk is already being supplied on the factory grounds. Because it can bring them a part of the income. Because among the food equipped by the Republican Army, there is cheese. This kind of thing can greatly supplement the physical fitness of soldiers, and if they are wounded, they also need milk powder. In such a situation, goat's milk is what they need most.

Of course. In some suitable areas, some people also raise sheep on a large scale, for example, there are people in Luzhou District who do this, an ordinary sheep herd, two months, can earn, a thousand yuan, a thousand yuan, this is something they never dared to think.

Tax cuts, burden reductions. What the people have brought is that they are increasingly able to meet their various needs materially.

The same goes for merchants. They know what they need, what kind of things, they can do better, in short, in such a situation, they can recover quickly, this is the advantage of the businessman, the market is playing the main role that he should have, which no one else has.

"Well, businessmen do have such great abilities, but this drinking is not only drinking, but also feelings." Cao Cao said.

"I'm a little reluctant to be here for so long. It's a pity that I still have to leave here in the end. Cao Cao said.

"Brother Cao is the one who wants to leave after all, because the court needs you more, and you are a person who can make history. is a hero. Shang Wu said. target

"Hahaha." After hearing this, Cao Cao burst out laughing.

"Brother Shangwu, I rarely hear you say such things, I am a hero. The man who made history, ah, haha. Ha ha. Isn't Shangwu going to drive me away? Cao Cao said with a smile.

"No, I don't have that history. Brother Cao has the temperament of a hero. There is also the charm of a hero. Ordinary people, who are captured by our army, usually can't think about it, or are ashamed to fight with people like us, and they will look down on us. Shang Wu said.

"For example, Lu Zhi before. That's it, even Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao and the like abandoned their soldiers and ran away as much as possible. And only Brother Cao, despite being captured, still maintained a person's integrity, and then later. Brother Cao can look at our Republican Army on an equal footing and humbly, perceive the differences between our Republican Army, and learn everywhere, this responsibility, courage, and vision to see the future direction of history are absolutely not available to others. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded seriously.

"And Brother Shangwu is also a person who creates miracles and history, you can bring the Republican Army into the ranks of a strong army, this ability, so, I admire it very much. Come. Mr. Jia. Let's toast together. Cao Cao raised his glass and said. Jia Xu also raised his glass. Needless to say, Jia Xu was able to recognize the difference between the Republican Army at once, and took the initiative to stay, and Shangwu was able to become friends. Such people definitely have a different insight. Cao Cao was a little envious. Shang Wu has such a friend, a military advisor, who will play a great role. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao believes that Jia Xu is a very unsimple person.

"." Shang Wu and Jia Xu sat down after drinking.

"This time it's for Brother Cao's farewell. I'll give Brother Cao a gift, wait a little bit. Shang Wu said. Shang Wu then entered his room and found the M1911 without bullets. This is when he came. Something to bring. Sangmu still had three bullet casings left, and he refilled them with black **. But whether the effect is that big, or whether it can be started, Shangwu doesn't know, but this thing, it's useless to stay by his side. He decided to give it to Cao Cao. Because he was convinced that he would be able to make such a weapon.

"What is this?" Cao Cao watched as Shang Wu placed a delicate pistol in front of him.

"This is something left to me by my master and given to Brother Cao. It's three bullets, and I don't know if it's going to work. I gave it to Brother Cao. Shang Wu said. Cao Cao still didn't dare to take it. Because he can see that the metallic luster on it is definitely a good gun, an absolutely good thing.

"Take it, we in the Republican Army don't have a weapon like a sword, after all, you know, we don't have anything like that in a lot of things. To let us do such a thing is also to embarrass us. This gun is the only thing I can get my hands on. I gave it to Brother Cao. Shang Wu put the pistol in Cao Cao's hand.

"We call it a good gun with a hero." Jia Xu said.

"Haha. Ha ha. Good. Good. All right. That's a good gun. Much better than a sword. Cao Cao laughed and put the pistol away. He knew that this was a piece of Shangwu's heart, and he didn't say it, for this, he wanted to make a glass of wine.

"I really didn't expect that. You would give me something like this, I didn't expect it. Cao Cao said.

"What's next? What I know is that the imperial court is extremely dissatisfied with Hedong, and in the future, you may have to suffer more squeezes from the imperial court in this regard, and you may be very disadvantageous here. Cao Cao said worriedly.

"This. We don't have to worry, as long as we develop the Hedong region well, we can firmly control it. In this way, the initiative is in our hands. On the contrary, the situation in the imperial court was somewhat unfavorable. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. That's right, I'm also worried about this, the problem of Hedong is a contradiction, but unfortunately, Jian Shuo can't see the internal troubles of the imperial court, but he has been looking at Hedong. Under such a poor and weak situation, it is impossible to take back Hedong. Cao Cao said. Cao Cao saw the problem of the imperial court, the problem is not Hedong, because you don't come back to Hedong at all, the republican army is different from the Xiliang rebels, they are warlords at most, but the republican army is different, they have a completely different economic system, once they complete the transformation of the local economy. This place is not coming back at all. It's a pity that no one in the imperial court saw such a point, and Jian Shuo constantly challenged the bottom line of the Republican Army in order to prove himself. They tried to find trouble east of the river. Cao Cao thought that sooner or later this would bring them more trouble. That's what they are in a particular situation right now.

"The situation in the imperial court is extremely unfavorable, and there are eunuchs in it who are in power. It is simply impossible to solve Hedong. Cao Cao said.

"Well, in my opinion, it's not a matter of eunuchs gaining power, but your power structure is extremely unreasonable." Shang Wu said.

"Unreasonable power?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

"Yes, why are eunuchs able to gain power, I think, this is because your emperor has too much power, and when a person's power is too great, it will lose its balance. Add to that your various economic problems, and a series of problems arise. Shang Wu said.

"Oh. Can you elaborate? Cao Cao asked in detail, for such some problems, Cao Cao is extremely interested, because this involves a lot of problems, if these problems can not be properly handled, it may lead to a series of bad things to happen, Cao Cao hopes to be able to figure out such things, so that they can solve more problems.

"I think so, you have always thought that the power of the emperor is the greatest, and this itself has become a source of imbalance. Because you have a lot of different local economies. In many places, you see it, too. There are many landlords who are powerful and powerful, and they continue to annex land, what is land, it is wealth, and annexing land means that they have concentrated a lot of wealth, and the accumulation of wealth can to some extent, form a counterbalance with the imperial power, in their opinion, these lands are theirs, this is private ownership. They wanted to be clear about such a situation. But your emperor does not think so, he thinks that everything is his, and that he can get any kind of resources, including land, including wealth, and in this way, there is an overlap of the two rights. Shang Wu said. Cao Cao nodded. He was used to such bold topics, and it seemed that it was not a taboo. Because Cao Cao has realized too much, too many such problems exist. He was just curious why he couldn't solve some of these things, because only by solving such a series of problems could all problems be solved. That's the most important thing they should be doing.

"This led to centralization, and a struggle for local power. And His Majesty the Emperor, in order to achieve the needs of his own power, he needs a tool, obviously, the starting point of the ministers is the state, and for the needs of the country, and they themselves are landlords and heroes, so they will not consider such a problem completely from the perspective of His Majesty the Emperor, they cannot achieve such a result. The only way to solve such a problem is to use eunuchs, who are not so much a symbol of imperial power as an instrument of imperial power. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. That makes sense, it's a new perspective. Cao Cao said.

So, how do you solve this problem? In other words, how to completely solve such a problem. Cao Cao said. Shang Wu looks at such a problem from the perspective of a bystander, which shows that Shang Wu can see the essence of this problem comprehensively, which is much clearer than Cao Cao's own view of such a problem. Cao Cao recognized this very much.

"Limit the imperial power and put it in the law." Shang Wu said.

"Put the imperial power in law?" Cao Cao was curious, and Jia Xu was also curious, but he didn't show it, because he was used to the shocking theory of martial arts.

"Your court needs to be reformed, and eunuchs are derivatives of imperial power. The reason why they are doing such nonsense is because they have such imperial power, and they control the imperial power in a circle. We can call it, a constitutional monarchy. Shang Wu said.

"Constitutional monarchy." Cao Cao couldn't wait to record all these things now.

"It is to make a constitution that everyone must abide by, and the monarch, that is, your emperor, must also abide by such a constitution, once the monarch violates such a constitution, the monarch is against the law, you can imprison the monarch, or abolish it, and so on." Shang Wu said.

"Huh." Cao Cao smiled. He thought it was horrible to do so.

"Still. My concern is, if we imprison the monarch, or is it in the constitution, what will happen to this power? Cao Cao asked curiously. Because it's the question that's the key.

"Of course, it is a parliament, if you can set up a parliament and gather all the local state members to a certain size, then it will represent the power of the local and central governments. Then they began centralized elections. Elect a prime minister, or a prime minister. The prime minister's term of office is limited, for example, four years. Five years, renewable for a second term. After the election, the prime minister himself will form his own cabinet, so that he can effectively manage the country, and in this way, the finances of your court, the burden on the monarch, will be reduced a lot, and not only that, but you can actually do many, many other things, for example, your parliament can make more and more other laws according to the spirit of the constitution. The prime minister, the monarch, all abide by the constitution, and they all enter a kind of legal track, so that the development of society will be fair, and you need to ensure the security and legitimacy of private property. Shang Wu said.

"That's what you're going to do, because you don't have a monarch, so you can have a council, right?" Cao Cao asked.

"yes, that's it, that's what we're going to do at the moment, and that's fair to us, because a lot of things, in fact, should be like this." Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. You are doing very well, at least, to a large extent, a favorable situation has been formed. Cao Cao said.

What Shang Wu said opened a door for Cao Cao, and this was a new path.

If Cao Cao didn't know this, he might have gone back to help the general He Jin fight the eunuchs and limit the imperial power. The imperial power is in the hands of a cowardly emperor, and at this time, the power of the general He Jin will be further expanded, which is a foreign relative. The power of the relatives will be great. And in order to regain his power, the emperor will inevitably take some new measures to deal with it. This is the eunuch. The struggle between the two major powers of eunuchs and relatives will inevitably cause great harm to the country.

It's a dead end, and their power is in a dead end. Perhaps Shang Wu is talking about a new path. This road is not walked by anyone. But Cao Cao thinks that it should be possible to try, and in this case, it may work.

Then Cao Cao drank a lot, and he didn't know what he said later, but he felt that he was very happy. Because he is going to walk on a new path.
