As we all know, since the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty and the founding of the Qin and Han dynasties, China has established a secular state form early on, and after repair, it has become a mature state system. On the basis of the self-cultivated agricultural economy, the Zongli and the imperial system are unified on the surface and inside, and the inter-county frame and the civil system are the horns of each other, while the Confucian ideology and the Zongli are connected up and down, arched and supported, and set off a huge empire, but it is a real national form.

Its life and gathering, its work and rest, after grinding and suffering, old to mellow. Divide and combine. After all, unification is the norm, and separation is perverted. It was not until modern Europe, the United States, and Japan came to the door that this wave of modern civilization swept the world, and it was forced to strive for transformation.

First of all, we must affirm the unparalleled enthusiasm, progressiveness, and epoch-making nature of the Xinhai Revolution, first create a republican state, overthrow the imperial power, and promulgate the "Outline of the Organization of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China." But the Xinhai Revolution was too hasty, and it was a bit of a state of surprise. The revolutionaries did not have time to prepare for the seizure of power, so that the central government was run by a group of revolutionaries, while the provinces were controlled by a group of revolutionary speculators, the former officials of the Qing government.

The vigorous Xinhai Revolution turned into a wedding dress for the egoistic governors of the provinces, and the revolutionaries and the reform-minded military clique in the north began to fight for superficial control, and none of the provinces were radically transformed. What was it like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and what it was like after the Xinhai Revolution, of course, except for the formal cutting off of the braids that dragged on the head.

I have calculated that there were only two or three thousand revolutionaries who were ideologically thorough during the Xinhai Revolution, and I still estimate them in many places. For a province to be fully controlled, it needs at least three thousand revolutionaries. Now it is good, it is not easy to achieve the victory of the revolution, but the fruit is not his own.

In all fairness, the revolutionary party at this time was not suitable for governance, and it did not have a ruling team of its own. Unfortunately, however, these people were too power-hungry and unwilling to lose their easy-going power, so the North and the South began to fight endlessly, instead of focusing on the process of de-feudalization.

One or two years before President Yuan took office, it was remarkable, and this must be objectively evaluated, but it could not stand up to the revolutionaries everywhere.

Look at this map behind me, Zhang Zuolin in the north, who won the support of the Japanese by selling mineral resources, is now inseparable from his direct family in the Guannai, to put it bluntly, it is a proxy war, Zhang Zuolin expanded for Japan from outside the customs to inside the Guan. After Cao Kun gained the support of Western countries in order to maintain his interests in North China, he resisted Zhang Zuolin's attack.

The situation in the south was chaotic, and when the ideas of the revolutionaries were taken into account by the world, Chen Jiongming began to deviate from Germany, and Comrade Sun was not allowed to return to Shanghai again without soldiers. Although Chen Jiongming drove Comrade Sun away, the south has always been the stronghold of the revolutionaries, and it is still uncertain that Chen Jiongming will be able to go that far.

The Anhui system has come to an end since the day before yesterday, and Zhejiang and Anhui have broken away from them and are single-mindedly seeking development. Sichuan is in a state of chaos, and has advanced the peasants' taxes in advance for 10 years. Three horses in the northwest and Tang Jiyao in Guizhou, Guirong on Guangxi Road, and Yan Xishan in Shanxi. This is the current map of the situation of domestic separation.

The rapid collapse of the Qing Dynasty had a serious consequence: the end of the bureaucratic system was seriously out of control, that is, the loss of control of the grassroots political power. The number of county-level administrative units in China remained stable from 1,000 to 1,500 between the Tang and Qing dynasties, and the country's population increased several times during this period. And once the grassroots administration fails, the superstructure is cut off from its population, land, and food.

At the grassroots level, after the withdrawal of imperial power, a dual pattern of gentry and peasants was formed. Once upon a time, the gentry seemed to act as an umbrella for the peasants, protecting them from the servants who represented the imperial power. Now it was the gentry, not the servants, who were rampant in the countryside and taxed the peasants. The veil of affection between the gentry and the peasants was lifted, and the only object of resentment left the peasants could be, and most of the time, of course, they kept their resentment in their hearts. But when this resentment is really ignited, it will burn everything.

There is no doubt that in modern times, with the collapse of the imperial system and the peril of the country, the peasants fell into deeper suffering. If it is said that in the pre-modern period, the gentry class was more or less constrained by Confucian ethics and maintained local stability and harmony, so as to assume a certain "positive energy" function, then after the modern era, this class was completely inferior and slid into the local tyrants and inferior gentry. As a result, this gentry-dominated grassroots institution became a shackle that suffocated the peasants' vitality. It not only forced the peasants not to resist through violent repression and threats, but also exercised ideological domination, using tradition and superstition to make the peasants consciously "accept their fate", so that the latter could not extricate themselves from the cycle of suffering.

The most important task now is to reshape the political power at the grassroots level, straighten out the relationship between the government and the peasants, and guide the peasants to leave the land and join the process of industrialization in an orderly manner.

Here I put a few slides, it is a photo of the local tyrant and inferior gentry in northern Anhui the day before yesterday, this is a photo of the manor of Zhang Yongquan, a local tyrant in Guzhen, this is a photo of his private dungeon, in which dozens of tenants are still imprisoned, this is the contract he signed with the tenants, please pay attention, twenty-eight rent, Zhang Yongquan takes eight, and the tenant takes two. As Hu Wenkai played and explained the slides one by one, the atmosphere in the lecture hall became depressed.

The local government completely lost its administrative functions, and because the gentry set up regimental training, collected taxes and fees, and carried out self-government, in fact, all the financial, political, and military powers of the local government fell into the hands of the gentry, and the county officials had no power at all in the local area. This must be swept away by bloody force. For all local tyrants and shoddy gentry who are found to have murders, they must be mercilessly beheaded.

Hu Wenkai took a sip of the teacup and continued.

The money of the people throughout the country should be allowed to circulate, factories should be encouraged, merchants should be protected from circulation, and one tax should be collected in the whole country, that is, only once. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui are about to introduce the principle of non-responsibility for the source of property, that is, as long as your family's property can be shown that it is not illegally obtained in the past two years, it will be protected by the government and belongs to your legal property.

Gold and silver treasures cannot grow wealth in their own secret rooms, and now create a relaxed investment and entrepreneurial environment, and encourage the masses to start businesses and innovate. Unleash people's own creativity and realize the free and comprehensive development of everyone. Only through innovation can we create more new technologies, new products and new markets, and improve the quality and efficiency of economic development; Only through mass entrepreneurship can we increase more market players, increase the motivation, vitality and competitiveness of the market, and thus become the internal source of power engine for economic development.

To develop and improve the five-year compulsory education, the state has the obligation to educate the school-age targets, and the school-age citizens have the obligation to receive education. A simple one-sided emphasis on one's own obligations is incomplete. Education is a tremendous force for promoting social progress and economic prosperity, and doing a good job in compulsory education is a fundamental measure for improving the quality of our nation and narrowing the gap between China and the developed countries. Families who study will be exempted from certain taxes, and families who do not allow school-age subjects to receive compulsory education will be punished with double penalties and heavy taxes, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be imprisoned.

To solve the pace of social change, we must prevent the export of violent revolution, and we will look at the current development situation in the provinces. Hu Wenkai pointed to the map of the current situation of the provinces that had just fallen in the center of the stage, which was drawn by the data he provided.

You see, the two lakes and Henan and Shandong are the main battlefields of the Xinhai Revolution in the north and south, and the economy is still in a period of stagnation, the people of the two lakes are stagnant in the late Qing Dynasty, and there are still military rebellions in the two lakes in the early stage. On the contrary, the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the province of Jiazhili in the northeast region have not been disturbed by the war, and the economic situation has always been at the forefront.

Small wars can facilitate the rapid flow of people and materials, and sometimes act as a catalyst in economic production. But large-scale wars, especially the meat grinder-style wars that protract, have a devastating effect on the economy and the grassroots regime. In particular, the stubborn armed struggle against the revolutionaries in the south, the rebellion in the two lakes, the continuous struggle for power in Sichuan, and Zhang Zuolin's entry into the customs in the north are unreasonable actions to harm the people, and the scabies on the country's body will be infected once it is broken.

Hu Wenkai's words of pointing out the country made the audience in the lecture hall realize that he Hu Wenkai was the person who was finally qualified to guide the country.

China's state model has long since been set after the Xinhai Revolution, which is undoubtedly "constitutional democracy, people's republic", a bourgeois republic. I advise all warlords not to pat their heads today and make up their names tomorrow. When you pat your head, think about how long your head will be on your neck if you continue like this. If we deny "constitutional democracy and a people's republic," we will change our nature and become a contradiction between ourselves and the enemy, and we will choose between survival and destruction.

There was a wave of applause below, Hu Wenkai smiled, motioned for a sip of tea, and continued.

Now, the warlords of the Republic of China should seize the time to stop the senseless war between you, calm down, develop their own economy, and improve the people's livelihood. Each exercises administrative management within its own effective control area. I have a suggestion that seven or eight warlords sit together and sign an agreement to obey the central government and supplement the constitution. They disarmed, devoting their limited financial resources to the development of transport and education.
