Chapter 352: State Banquet Speech, Unliberal Democracy

readx; The Korean War was a war that China had to win, so as to ensure the country's luck, to make the people more confident, and to make the army more confident. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the Soviet Union, China could lie about victory even if it was defeated at the front, thereby boosting national morale.

A communist country like the Soviet Union had a strong idea of 'seeking', because they had established an 'ideal', and the people could not live well, which could be ignored in wartime, and they could shift all the blame to the enemy, and thus become even more bitter about the enemy.

At the same time, it is a kind of thinking that encourages people to be fearless of death, and in the face of an unlikely goal, if in an ordinary country, the people would think, to accomplish this goal, will I die? I'm dead, what's the point of victory? I can't enjoy it anyway. Therefore, everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, but [***] is not like this.

It is also of great benefit in wartime, and this is indeed a way for a backward country to defeat a strong country with crowd tactics and a strong idea.

In addition to [***], there is also nationalism that can achieve this goal.

At this time, China developed nationalism, referred to as fascism.

However, at this time, the world's nationalism was not called fascism, but 'national revivalism', because China took the lead in using nationalism to free the country from a desperate situation, so other countries were translated according to the Chinese word 'national revivalism'.

Nationalism enables people to share common ideals, to strive for a common goal, and to sacrifice their lives for it.

Perhaps from the perspective of later generations of American values, this is a very evil act.

But judging from the values of the nation itself, this is beneficial to the nation as a whole.

It's all a matter of values.

Nationalism, on the other hand, is a relatively complete society, and its ability to organize production is not weaker than that of capitalist society. It is not semi-disabled like [***], [***] because the merchants and landlords were brought down, so the economic organization is very poor, but in the heavy industry of the war, it is built very quickly, because in [***] society, the cost of labor is almost negligible.

In nationalist countries, labor costs are calculated within construction.

Even if the country defeated the enemy, the result was the disintegration, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the later reforms of China, all proved that [***] would not work, only socialism would work.

It can be said that [***] is actually suitable for dealing with war, a capitalist country can also take the communist line in wartime, and its typical policy is wartime rationing, but this communist mode is not applicable after war.

A country with a normal system, even if it adopts a rationing system during wartime, will quickly return to normal after the war, and at the same time, during the rationing system, the main intention is to reduce labor costs, reduce military spending, and maximize the mobilization of domestic resources.

China's fight against North Korea is far from the point where it requires rationing, a policy that will only be introduced in the future in times of brutal all-out war.

But Xia Jun has a cheat in his hand, and he may not need to carry out wartime rationing during a full-scale war.

The Korean War was a war of uneven strength.

The Chinese Emperor [***] is still continuing to gather troops in Korea, and it is expected to be able to gather 1.3 million troops in Korea by the beginning of spring.

It was a real big corps operation.

The command is facing unprecedented challenges.

China had never fought such a large-scale corps war before, and this time it was a war of movement, not a war of encirclement and annihilation like the Sino-Shandong War.

The Shandong War was caused by the accelerated demise of the self-confidence of the Chinese people.

In the Korean War, the Chinese army laid out a large number of fortifications in Korea, and even if there were ground-penetrating bombs, it was not so easy to gnaw.

…… The Spring Festival is coming soon, and this year's Spring Festival, the greatest expectation of the people is the liberation of Korea and the restoration of China's basic sphere of influence in ancient times.

After the liberation of Korea and the recovery of this vassal state by China, the whole country can be considered truly complete.

In Jiaozhi, the people of Jiaozhi are also celebrating the Spring Festival, this year's Jiaozhi is jubilant, since Jiaozhi has been controlled by the kingdom, the people's lives have immediately made a qualitative leap.

The Zero Hunger Policy has also been popularized in Cochin, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has continued to provide assistance, so that the people of Cochin can now have enough to eat.

Although full food is only the most basic living need, for the Chinese Empire, a country with extremely developed agriculture, this bit of food is nothing, for most Chinese, food and clothing are no longer the goal of pursuit, the pursuit of a better life. And for the poor tenant farmers in Jiaozhi, this is a great day!

Jiaozhi is deeply sinicized, and its social composition is basically the same as that of China in the old era, and the two main contradictory classes in society are landlords and peasants.

There were very few peasant uprisings in countries such as Myanmar and Thailand, where agrarian societies had not yet developed, and because of the similarity to the situation in China, peasant uprisings were frequent.

The people of Cochin still have strength, which is why they were able to develop [***] in later generations, as for the Sino-Vietnamese War, it was because Vietnam's confidence was too inflated after the Vietnam War. At the same time, Vietnam is copying Chinese things in later generations, and on the other hand, it is de-sinicizing, which can only be said to be guided by the rulers.

In this era, China can still accept Vietnam, after all, Vietnam's degree of sinicization is there, but it is not a direct acceptance.

It's to see that the next sinicization of Jiaozhi can go further.。

However, the landlords of Jiaozhi were not happy, because the Ministry of Sinicization of Jiaozhi issued a policy of limiting tenant rents, and the landlords' tenant rents were made very low, while the taxes on landlords were very high.

This is the same policy as when China carried out land reform, and this is how these landlords were dealt with.

First the tenant is given to death, and then the tax is collected that the tenant rent cannot reach.

But the landlords were not without a way out, and the only way out for the landlords was to stop renting the land to tenant farmers, but to hire long-term workers to run the business themselves.

To operate by ourselves, we must first have advanced productive forces.

For those landlords in China, the East China political axe did not exterminate them at the beginning, but provided them with higher agricultural production technology, so that many landlords also persevered.

If the landlord does not run his own business, but rents out the land for profit, and does nothing for himself, but sits at home and waits for the rent to be collected, and at the same time gives usury to annex the land of the yeoman farmer, it is no different from a parasite.

Some conscientious landlords may waive the tenant farmers' land rent in a disaster year, while some landlords will collect rent in a disaster year. I can't afford to pay what I owe, and I can't afford to pay it back with my wife and daughter. In the spring, if you can't afford to buy seeds, you can borrow money to buy them, it's all usury, and once you can't pay it back, you will use real estate to pay it back, and if you don't have real estate, you can only use your wife and daughter to pay it back.

By such means, the landlords have continuously expanded the area of cultivated land in their hands, because they have money in their hands and have a strong ability to resist disasters, and they will not be finished because of a disaster for a year, while those poor people have a very weak ability to resist disasters, and the result of any disaster is bankruptcy.

Compared with China's land reform at the beginning, the land reform in Jiaozhi at this time was not so mild, and the landlords did not give any advanced agricultural technology they wanted.

If the landlord can't survive, sell the land to the Chinese!

Cochin not only has fertile land, but also cheap labor, and is indeed a good agricultural development area, which has more potential, and those lands are still very popular for Chinese businessmen.

This policy of the Sinicization Department of Jiaozhi caused dissatisfaction among the landlord class, but helplessly, the people of Jiaozhi had already returned to their hearts, and they could not stir up now.

And if they dare to jump around, the military police will immediately pull them into the bureau to calm down, and lock them up for ten days and half a month.

If it doesn't work, then shut it up for two or three years.

The means in this regard are relatively modest, after all, the landlords without popular support are just like rootless wanderers, and there is not much threat.

The replacement of the landlord class by the Chinese in Jiaozhi will not exacerbate the contradictions.

At present, China's agricultural management methods mainly employ long-term workers, which is equivalent to hiring workers in factories, and there are regulations on treatment.

Cochin's production cost is also low because of its low labor cost.

The people of Jiaozhi do not need too high requirements, at this time it is almost enough to be able to eat, and a salary of two yuan a month will make the people of Jiaozhi happy.

At this time, the Chinese Empire has always been good at using the lower classes to balance these landlord classes.

This is a model based on the following system.

The traditional ruling class distributed its benefits to officials and aristocrats to maintain its rule, while Xia Jun distributed its benefits to the common people to check and balance the bureaucracy.

At this time, because of this check and balance, there was no bureaucracy in China at present.

In the future, we will have to rely on open cooking to check and balance the bureaucracy, but open cooking must be unfree open cooking, and such open cooking is suitable for China.

The Cultural Revolution in later generations was actually to check and balance bureaucracy, but the effect was not ideal. The masses of the people are mobilized to criticize the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy also mobilizes the masses to criticize the masses. As a result, some rebels, royalist Red Guards came out.

The French capital of Jiaozhi is not very good, and the Ministry of Sinicization of Jiaozhi has gradually introduced some policies, although it seems that it has no impact on French capital, but in fact it has a huge impact.

The competition between Chinese capital and French capital in Jiaozhi is very fierce, and without the protection of the political axe, some French capital has been swallowed up.

However, China does not dare to use policies too blatantly against French capital, but uses market means, after all, Chinese capital also exists in Cambodia and Laos.

In many external areas, Chinese capital has been able to compete with international capital.

In terms of the simplest market competition, it is nothing more than the competition in various industries. In those small countries, it is nothing more than competition in transportation, finance, raw material extraction, marketing, services, electricity, railways, etc.

Because Chinese capital uses China as its base camp, Chinese capital also has enough capital to invest in external competition, so it is difficult for international capital to swallow up Chinese capital.

The Huaxia Society is a tighter organization than the American Freemasonry, and the organization of the Freemasonry may only serve the interests of the upper class as its main purpose, while the Huaxia Society is a model of supporting small and medium-sized businessmen, and small and medium-sized businessmen supporting large businessmen, which is a collective mutual support.

For Freemasonry, it may not care whether a small company lives or dies, but for the Huaxia Society, if a small company has a crisis in external competition, the Huaxia Society will lend a helping hand and dispatch professionals to plan to help the small company get out of the predicament.

Finance, transportation, marketing, raw material extraction, railways, electricity, these are the main areas of competition.

In the financial sector, it is the international credit and insurance business. The Asian dollar issued by the Asian Federal Reserve, which was jointly established by China, Russia, and Rashiderab, has provided a strong foundation for the expansion of China's financial sector.

One of the main competition is loans, everyone wants to lend loans in those backward countries, in order to continue to make profits, after the loans are released, it may be used to build railways, then the railway is built by the company, which may be handed over to a brother company, for example, the Bank of East China lends money to a small country to build infrastructure, maybe the East China Group will let the Zhongsheng Group to carry out this project, or let the Huasheng Group to do it, or also set up another company with its own control to do it.

Anyway, these loans will soon flow back home, and then the country will owe China money.

The competition in the transportation industry is also fierce, among which Britain in the post-war period, the local transportation industry has already needed Chinese and American cargo ships to bear a part of the transportation share, which shows how huge the blow of German submarines to the British transportation industry in World War I was.

The reason why Britain suffered such huge losses in the First World War was that many of the submarines that Germany should have sold to them were sold to them.

This was no secret after the end of the First World War, but Britain was helpless about it, and it was clear that there was no reason to attack China, which was a neutral country and sold things to no one.

Britain itself wanted to settle accounts after the war, but after the war, Britain's national strength declined, China developed rapidly, and Britain simply could not find any place to liquidate China.

After all, China is a land power country, and Britain, a sea power country, wants to hit China itself is almost equivalent to an idiot's dream.

The UK's transport industry is very sluggish, which gives China and the US a huge amount of room for growth.

The competition between China and the United States in the transportation industry is the main hot spot of competition at present.

After continuous development of China's ocean-going shipping industry, the tonnage of ocean-going cargo ships has exceeded tens of millions of tons, far exceeding that of the United States.

The tonnage of ships in the United States at this time was only seven million tons, and the entire war increased by five million tons, which is already terrifying.

But compared to China, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention the increase in the tonnage of China's cargo ships to tens of millions of tons, it also received a large number of orders for the manufacture of British cargo ships during the war.

Britain wants to reverse the decline in the transport industry at this time, but it is difficult to run out of money.

Because of the sluggishness of the transport industry, Britain fell into a vicious cycle, because there was no money to build new ships, and the profits of the transport industry were lost. The profits of the transport industry were lost, and there was no money to build new ships, and a problem arose that made the British political axe feel tangled.

At the same time, Britain has built new ships, and it may not be able to regain the transportation market, the transportation industry in China and the United States has developed, and Britain wants to regain the transportation market, first of all, it has to cut prices and compete, but compared with China's cargo ships, the service life of basic is not more than ten years, and those cargo ships in Britain that have been used for twenty or thirty years, or even forty years, do not have any advantage in price cutting competition.

However, the merchant ships of the United States are not only inferior to China in terms of tonnage, but also have merchant ships of two million tons that are relatively old, so it is not easy to compete with China's ocean-going shipping industry.

In 1919, China grabbed 1.5 billion Asian dollars in profits from overseas transportation, which was pure profit, not cost, and it was not China's own transportation, and its own transportation was excluded.

In terms of cost, there is the salary of sailors, as well as fuel.

The sailors made money, and the money belonged to China, and the fuel was used to mine and refine the fuel oil in the country, as well as the cost of manufacturing the ships.

In the manufacturing sector alone, a trade deficit of 5 billion Asian dollars can be created in a year.

The transportation industry has created a large number of jobs in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, especially in Fujian, because agriculture can only develop cash crops, the population has grown to 25 million people at this time, and the per capita arable land is the lowest in the provinces, and there is a good environment for the development of the sea.

Returning to world history, modern history is actually the world of sea power states.

These sea powers were not rich in their own products, so they had the impetus to expand outward, which is why Britain is what it is today.

Fujian also has such an environment, and at the same time, Fujian has a stronger advantage than the United Kingdom.

That is, Fujian is not an island, but is connected to other provinces in China. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong dominated the China Sea by being cared for and relying on the huge manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, China's territory is larger, manpower is the world's first, material resources are also developing rapidly, taking steel as an example, the output has almost surpassed the United States, and it will not be long before it will become the world's first in terms of material resources.

With human, material and financial resources, it is very easy to develop the maritime industry in Fujian.

At the same time, the navigation industry in other provinces is also developing, and the four provinces of Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shandong have also developed a maritime industry.

However, there is still a gap compared to the children formed in Fujian who yearn for the ocean.

At this time, the imperial political axe was strengthening this atmosphere in Fujian, encouraging the children of Fujian to go to the sea. The oceans are dangerous, but they must be overcome. We must go out fearlessly and fight at sea.

At this time, China formed shipbuilding, marine transportation and other industries centered on Fujian.

In Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces, a large number of Chinese went abroad to make a living and go to other countries to do business, forming many overseas Chinese hometowns in the coastal areas.

In terms of the transportation industry, the British and the United States have adopted a joint strategy to crowd out China's maritime transportation industry. But China's maritime transport industry, like Germany, is adept at opening up new markets.

The Chinese Empire had trade relations with many backward countries, and the Chinese Empire bought resources from those small countries and sold them goods.

The alliance between Britain and the United States cannot monopolize the global transportation market, and although China's ocean shipping has been hit to a certain extent, it can survive tenaciously.

There is no other reason, that is, there are so many merchant ships in China, many of which Xia Jun bought directly from the exchange platform.

The East China Ocean Shipping Company can even not make a profit, and only engage in transportation with capital protection.

Even cost-guaranteed transportation has many benefits, the first is that it provides employment for the people, and the second is that it continues to build a trade deficit on these costs. The third is to suppress the transport industry in other countries.

In the face of the joint crackdown by Britain and the United States, the China East China Ocean Shipping Company has formulated a series of countermeasures, the first is to improve the quality of service, and the second is to cut prices.

Cut prices to a level where Britain and the United States say they are completely uncompetitive.

Because the East China Ocean Shipping Group does not have much cost for ships, the cost is extremely low, and the range of price cuts that can be borne is very large, so large that the transportation industry in Britain and the United States cannot catch up, and if the ocean transportation industry in Britain and the United States is carried out according to China's prices, it will immediately lose money.

Price cutting competition does not mean that China's ocean shipping industry will lose money, because China's East China ocean shipping company has the support of its own country.

Most of the domestic waybills are based on the original price, and some goods that accept the original price and cannot compete in the international market are given the same price reduction.

This belongs to the internal operation of the Huaxia Club, which commodity has an absolute competitive advantage, and it is also possible to take out some money to support the transportation industry.

Therefore, despite the price cut to no profit, the East China Ocean Shipping Company can still rely on the local market to continue to make profits, so that it can update its ships to drive the shipbuilding industry.

Now it is naturally impossible for Xia Jun to buy cargo ships on the exchange platform, because the shipbuilding industry has developed, and whether he can build it himself or not will cause the shipbuilding industry to suffer losses, thus making the people unemployed.

However, the degree of price reduction is far from being so serious, and the current price of the East China Ocean Shipping Company still maintains some profits, but such a price is not something that the British and American ocean transportation can afford.

At this time, Germany's shipping industry also returned to the world stage, although Germany also lost some of its merchant ships in World War I, as well as foreign colonies.

Although German merchant ships are relatively new, they have no advantage over China's brand new and most American ones.

Germany's transport industry is struggling to compete, driven by the price cuts of China's transport industry.

The United States has also cut prices in terms of competition in the maritime transportation industry, but the transportation industry has no profit to do so, because the United States has introduced supportive policies.

It is tantamount to the US government using money to subsidize shipping companies to compete with China's maritime transportation industry, so as to prevent China from continuing to expand its trade deficit.

In the global competition in the transportation industry, the main protagonists are China and the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany can only stand aside, France and the United States have a very small share in this regard, and the share is the smallest.

Russia had lost access to the sea, the area east of the Nale River had been ceded to China, and there was basically no maritime transportation at all.

It can be said that the global marine transportation industry market, under the competition between China and the United States, has fallen into a state of vicious competition.

This is a war without gunpowder.

And the root cause of everything is around the Asian dollar, the US dollar, the employment problem, and the more fundamental problem is the economy.

Further up is the development of the country's war potential.

Each wants to weaken the other's war potential and expand its own.

In the aftermath of the Great War between the Entente and the Central Powers, all countries were secretly expanding their armaments, while at the same time intending to paralyze other countries and reduce their armaments.

With the development of science and technology in this era, the distance between the earth is getting smaller and smaller, and the concept of a global village is gradually developing.

With the development of science and technology to such a situation, there is no real world hegemon in the world.

Although Britain is nominally the world hegemon, it is obvious that it can no longer scare China, and it also cannot frighten the United States.

With the continuous development of military technology, there will inevitably be an unprecedented war in the world in the future, which is an inevitable habit of historical development and international separation.

In the twenties, when there seemed to be no possibility of a major war, in fact there was already a turbulent undercurrent.

The Korean War can be said to be an end to China's foreign expansion during this period. After the Korean War, China will be ready to deal with the next world war.

And the USSR will be the next whetstone.

…… During the Spring Festival, there are feasts everywhere.

Ordinary people have to cook a lot of delicious food at home during the New Year, which is considered a reward for hard work for a year, and the wine banquet of large families is very large, among which the Guangdong region, where food culture is the most developed, during the New Year, the wine banquet of large families is eaten at home on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth, anyone can eat the banquet.

After ten years of development, economic development has risen, and agriculture has developed, the people's life is naturally better, and there is a lot of money during the Chinese New Year.

Consumption in the past year has always been the most abundant feast in China's consumer market, and the consumption in the consumer market has increased year by year.

That's nearly three times the average spend in other months.

There is nothing wrong with eating and drinking well, and despite some extravagance and waste, the national wealth is still circulating within the territory and will not be lost as a result.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing a higher quality of life.

The children's New Year's money is also increasing year by year, and ordinary people used to give their children a dollar at most, but now it has generally risen to three or five yuan.

For this year's Spring Festival, public opinion circles generally believe that the prosperity of China has arrived, and the people are generally optimistic about the future development.

But the consciousness of sorrow is depressed by the abundance of matter.

In this era, China is facing many enemies, the world is far from the point where China has become hegemonic, and there is no atomic bomb in this era, and it is a common phenomenon for big countries to invade small countries and enslave and colonize other countries.

Moreover, at this time, China was materially rich, and after becoming rich, it must have the same force to defend its wealth, otherwise it would be invaded by foreign races like the end of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The lessons of history are painful.

Coupled with the country's propaganda and guidance, as well as the revival of national consciousness, the people's sense of distress is very strong.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Jun set up a family banquet.

Xia Jun's family banquet is mainly with the four ladies and the family members on the lady's side, as a traverser, he has no relatives and no reason in this world, with the establishment of the family, the relatives are the wife, the children and those fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law and brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law.

This year's family banquet lineup is larger, Xia Jun now has four wives, father-in-law and mother-in-law are eight, although Mei'er is Li Shijing's maid, but her parents are still alive, and they have also moved to live in Hangzhou.

Tana's father and mother, who is a shareholder in U.S. Steel, were surprised that their daughter had become the head of the Chinese Empire, and that they had not yet known about it, and that their daughter had not yet given birth to a daughter.

Nicholas II and the Empress also came to Hangzhou for a family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Shengguo also got married and had children as early as three years ago, and for this brother-in-law who has a good relationship, he also brought his wife and children.

The atmosphere of this family banquet was very warm, and Li Shengguo entertained Tana's parents and Nicholas II in English, and Nicholas II knew three Chinese languages and had no problem communicating.

From time to time, Nicholas II would speak a strange Chinese language, apparently trying to better communicate with his son-in-law.

After the meal, Nicholas II and Xia Jun discussed the issue of counterattacking Europe.

Nicholas II wanted to continue the counteroffensive in the spring of next year, but Xia Jun rejected this proposal.

"In the spring of next year, we should first defeat the Soviet Union, and then we can concentrate our forces on dealing with the Soviet Union, and if we do not defeat the Soviet Union, it will be extremely easy for us to fight on two fronts." Xia Jun said to Nicholas II, "But a counteroffensive is also needed, and we will try to end the Korean War next summer, and then counterattack the Soviet Union." ”

"Can a quarter end a repetition of war?" Nicholas II asked.

"I guess it's okay!" Xia Jun replied calmly.

If not, then there will be no counteroffensive to Europe next year, this is Xia Jun's subtext. At this time, Russia is far from being completely reduced to a puppet, which will take some time to adjust slowly.

…… After Chinese New Year's Eve, Xia Jun began to comfort the people and troops everywhere according to the practice of previous years, which is what Xia Jun has to do every year.

On the 15th Lantern Festival, the ministers were feasted, and people from all walks of life were invited to participate in the banquet. Some ordinary people who have done particularly touching deeds or made great contributions have also had the opportunity to be invited to the banquet of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and this year nearly 500 representatives of China's contacts in 1919 were invited to the banquet.

The Lantern Festival state banquet has gradually become a fixed tradition, and more and more outstanding representatives from all walks of life are invited every year.

In addition to the political leaders and some big capitalists, some of the other personnel are outstanding workers, for example, nearly 50 workers who have made contributions to technological innovation were invited to attend the state banquet this year. Some are outstanding soldiers, not only high ranks can participate, except for those high-ranking military officials, if they want to participate in the state banquet, they have to make a year to establish and set up a large function as a propaganda banner of soldiers or junior officers.

In addition, each region, an outstanding citizen is selected to participate in this state banquet every year.

How do you become an outstanding citizen?

The establishment of this title of outstanding citizen is mainly to encourage businessmen to do social charity, to put it bluntly, it is to call for donations, donate money will give you the title of an outstanding citizen, the more you donate, the more outstanding.

But ordinary people can also be outstanding citizens, for example, if the local people want to set an example of helping others, they will find an outstanding citizen who is eager to help others.

Those ordinary people who were invited to the state banquet all had tangible deeds, and these deeds were beneficial to society and the nation.

For example, one of them was a volunteer everywhere, enthusiastic about helping others, and was recommended by the local political axe to attend this state banquet.

These outstanding representatives from all walks of life were invited to attend the 15 th Lantern Festival State Banquet, which played a good role in imitating the people.

As a result, people from all walks of life have become more courageous.

The 15 th Lantern Festival State Banquet was a grand event, with nearly 5,000 people taking part, including elites from political, military, and business circles, as well as elites from the art festival, outstanding workers, outstanding citizens, and their families.

More than 5,000 people eat a meal, and it doesn't cost much, although the food is good, but the expenses of the Chinese Empire are not as corrupt as the ancient dynasties, such as the late Ming Dynasty, maybe an egg will give you a hundred taels of silver.

This year's state banquet was also held at the East China Stadium next to East China Plaza, the stadium was roofed, and the fifteenth day was still relatively cold, so it was held indoors.

Before the state banquet began, Xia Jun came to the stadium with four wives and children.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, and looked at the extra lady next to Xia Jun in confusion - Tana.

Tana is dressed up beautifully today, with a thrilling beauty, and she is holding her daughter Xiaoting in her hands.

Immediately, many people understood that this was the mysterious lady of the legendary Führer, because as Xia Jun's daughter Xiaoting grew up, she appeared in public. Xiao Ting has long black hair, but her eyes are millet and shiny like jewels.

Based on this characteristic, the media judged that Xia Xiaoting was not born to Li Shijing, but someone else, but some people speculated that she was adopted.

Tana's haunts are not completely secret, the upper echelons of the empire are still clear, and rumors about it gradually appear.

This state banquet is the first time that Xia Jun has brought Tana to a public occasion.

At this time, people knew as soon as they looked at Tana's eyes that this was Xia Xiaoting's biological mother.

Xia Jun's family is very enviable, with four beautiful ladies and three healthy children.

Obviously it's a very warm family.

After Xia Jun came to the stadium, he shook hands with outstanding representatives from all walks of life one by one, although it was very formal, but this was still needed.

After shaking hands, Xia Jun came to the stage and said into the microphone: "I'm glad that we can hold a Lantern Festival dinner here today together." In the past year, the empire has made such great achievements, which is inseparable from the dedication of all of you and the joint efforts of thousands of compatriots. In the new year, I have higher expectations for our nation, as long as we continue to work with one heart and one mind, we will be able to create more brilliant achievements. ”

After a pause, there was an incomparably warm applause below.

"Last year, there were a lot of great changes in China, which we can all feel firsthand, and there are also many outstanding representatives, so we might as well listen to their deeds before the dinner begins......

Immediately, Xia Jun handed the microphone to the host and asked him to introduce the deeds of several typical and touching representatives.

Soon, several representatives were invited to the stage, and the host introduced these ordinary people who silently contributed to the nation one by one.

As the saying goes, the light of the grain of rice also shines, and even ordinary people can make great contributions to the empire.

If we set more examples, we will be able to bring more people to learn from them.

In the audience, there are also a large number of Beiyang veterans sitting, although the dynasty has changed, but these capable Beiyang veterans have been incorporated one by one.

For Xia Jun, who was able to create such a situation today, they only have admiration left.

Today's China is thriving. Xia Jun has only been developing for eleven years since Jian'an.

There has been such a huge achievement in eleven years, and it has to be amazing.

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Sun Wen to give a speech for us, and the topic of the speech is - what kind of Ming Cook is suitable for China!" At this time, the host on the stage announced loudly after introducing those touching deeds.

Under the attention of everyone, Sun Wen walked onto the high platform wearing a Hanfu.

Seeing Sun Wen come to power, the people below who were born in Beiyang and those who came from the revolutionary party suddenly realized that there was no difference between who lost and who won in the struggle in China during the Republic of China, because they all won now.

A strong China has emerged, and they have not been wiped out, which is a collective success.

"I'm glad I'm here today to give this talk to you." Sun Wen bowed, and then said: "In the old era of Manchu rule, as well as during the Republic of China, we said that we wanted to cook freely. But there is one problem that we have overlooked, which is the difference between a free people and an unfree one. In the past, we have been discussing what kind of path we should take to save China. For this reason, during the Republic of China, each had its own ideas and opinions, and it was also indispensable to fight due to discord of ideas. But that's all in the past. Today, China is one of the world's great powers, and we have initially completed its rejuvenation. Why we were able to revive so quickly is a question I have been thinking about since I was in the United States. ”

"Later, I gradually understood that the reason why we were rejuvenated was because China at this time was taking the road of reading talents, which reduced internal differences, to put it bluntly, that is, there was less freedom, and at the same time, since the period of East China's political axe, Xia Yuan has always put the development of people's livelihood first, everything is dominated by the needs of the people, and the problem of food and clothing that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years has been solved very quickly."

"Now China has already embarked on the road of open boiling, and has developed a unique path of unfree open cooking. Why can't a people be too free for the people? Because the existence of a nation is first and foremost a consideration for the success of the collective, every people, as within the nation, must join in the ranks of achieving this goal. If there is excessive freedom, then the nation will become a scattered sand, some to the east and some to the west, and thus will be divided and disintegrated by other nations, causing the interests of the whole nation to be harmed......"

"In my opinion, there are two phases, the first stage is the current stage, where power is concentrated in the Führer, and the Führer has a very high level of personal cultivation and is able to consciously safeguard the interests of the nation and at the same time fight for the interests of the nation. At the same time, the ability of our head of state has been fully proven, and he has the ability to lead us towards rejuvenation, and always put the people first and put the interests of the people first, which is the current state of boiling. But such a system cannot be sustained, because in the future of China, it is impossible for every head of state or emperor to have extremely high personal qualities. Therefore, we have to move towards the second phase in the future.

The so-called second stage is to transfer a part of the power to the people, through the people to supervise the administration of the empire, but the implementation of the boiling, must not be excessively free, must always be to safeguard the interests of the nation as the first priority, the second stage of the unfree nation, is to put an end to the emergence of bureaucracy, to maintain the internal system from the bureaucracy erosion and destruction......

Sun Wen's speech lasted nearly 15 minutes, and for the first time comprehensively expounded the idea of 'not free boiling'.

This speech means the determination of the future state of the empire.

What kind of national system China should take, which has been a question that the people have been perturbing for a long time, has finally been solved at this time.

People also understood the intention of the head of the empire, and said that Xia Jun wanted to read it, just to make the nation move in the same direction.

But this does not mean that the empire will always follow the route of scholars, at least in the next generation, it will not follow the route of scholars, but will follow the constitutional monarchy.
