The autumn harvest is coming, and like the old years, the autumn harvest is the busiest stage in East China, with the transportation department coordinating the transportation capacity and the Ministry of Agriculture coordinating the approximate total output of crops to set the price of agricultural products this year.

The price of agricultural products is naturally controllable by the political axe, and if there are more agricultural products, the political axe can come forward to purchase and reserve them, so that the price will rise. If production is insufficient, the political axe releases the reserves in the warehouse to drive down the price.

Generally speaking, it is to maintain the price of agricultural products to the extent that producers are profitable, and the profits cannot be excessive.

Although agricultural production has been partially affected this year, it has generally maintained a strong momentum, and according to the Ministry of Agriculture, this year's cotton production is enough for China to beat any rival in the international cotton export market. The same is true for sucrose production.

At the same time, it has also made great achievements in the production of raw silk, and the raw silk industry has been completely defeated by China's raw silk industry, and China's raw silk industry has become the world's first.

In terms of aquaculture, the output value of aquaculture has exceeded 10 billion yuan this year, including marine aquaculture.

In September, the fishing moratorium for inshore fishing has also ended, and the annual fishing season has begun in coastal fishing ports. In addition to fishing in shallow sea fisheries, distant-water fishing has caught nearly 3 million tons of fish this year, a large part of which is caught in the local waters.

Last year's shallow fishing industry, which produced four million tonnes, was halted this year by the Ministry of Fisheries, which banned a number of large trawlers and expects to catch only three million tonnes of fish during this year's fishing season.

The fishing industry is very fragile, so the protection policy of the East China government is very strict, and the focus is still on the development of offshore aquaculture, which has already begun in coastal areas.

This year, East China has taken over Indonesia, and Indonesia's vast waters will also become China's fishing area, but the Nanyang Republic is working on a fishing moratorium suitable for Indonesia's region, as well as a limit on the tonnage of fishing. Once these policies are in place, Chinese fishing vessels will be able to fish in Indonesia's shallow waters.

China's marine fishing technology is currently the most powerful in the world, so Huadong Group has also invested in marine fishing companies in other countries.

Nowadays, more and more cheap fish products are being shipped back to China and gradually entering the dining tables of thousands of households.

Cod in Newfoundland Fishing Grounds is the main product of the fishing companies invested abroad by the East China Group, and large trawlers continue to fish in Newfoundland Fishing Grounds without any restrictions.

In this era, because the productivity is not so high, the awareness of resource protection in various countries is not strong, and no one has stopped such behavior of the East China Group.

Cod used to be the food of the poor in Europe, because there is so much cod, but the nutrition of cod is very high, and the East China Group is currently building a canning factory in Newfoundland, which has received strong support from the local government in Newfoundland.

The canning factory has special cod processing machinery, which can be used to slaughter cod in an assembly line and then fill it and ship it back to China.

The military is interested in canned cod and is considering including it in the soldiers' meals.

The development of planting, aquaculture, fishery, and forestry is very fast, and the total output value of this year is expected to reach more than 40 billion, but agriculture is a consumable, and agriculture cannot make a country improve its war capability too much, but agriculture can improve the quality of life of the people, so it is Xia Jun's key development.

…… Just as the East China political axe was busy welcoming the autumn harvest, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui returned to China.

The two of them were enthusiastically retained by Xu Yuan, the president of the Nanyang Republic, to stay in Indonesia for nearly a month, and they were kind enough to stay, but they didn't let them go, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui had no way, they didn't bring troops, and Indonesia was full of East China troops.

As soon as the two of them returned to Yanjing, they found that the situation had changed.

When Duan Qirui stepped off the plane from Tanggu in Tianjin to Yanjing, a group of officials of all sizes knelt down at the airport in front of many reporters and cried at Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui who got off the plane.

"President, you have to call the shots for us!"

"There is no royal law! Why should they dismiss us? ”

"Prime Minister, you want to seek justice for everyone......

"Woo ......"

A group of officials knelt on the side of the road, some even cried so darkly, and some even pounced on them, hugging Li Yuanhong's thighs.

Li Yuanhong is a puppet president, with no military power with his bare hands, and he doesn't hug his thighs and hug anyone. As for Duan Qirui, he was not hugged by his thighs, and glanced at Li Yuanhong, who was constantly pumping his thighs but couldn't get rid of the entanglement, Duan Qirui looked upright and scolded: "What are you doing, as a member of the Chinese side, you are kneeling here crying and crying, what kind of system you become, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed, you will get up and speak to me." ”

Being reprimanded by Duan Qirui, the Beiyang officials who knelt down around stopped their cries and stood up one by one.

"What the hell is going on with you guys?" Li Yuanhong was hugged on his thighs for a long time, and he couldn't help blowing his beard in anger, and shouted at a group of officials.

"Back to the president, the East China political axe is simply too deceitful, and during the period when you and the prime minister were abroad, the East China political axe actually replaced the local administrators, and the total number of people reached 800." Henan Provincial Governor Chen Yunti rebuked with a sad and indignant face: "Today, China is no longer a country, and there is no legal ......."

Li Yuanhong was shocked when he heard this, he and Duan Qirui just went abroad, and the East China political axe removed more than 800 Beiyang officials from their posts? It's also too ...... Too...... Let's be unrestrained!

"Okay, I know, let's all disperse!" Duan Qirui waved his hand expressionlessly, and the policemen on both sides immediately leaned forward and pulled those Beiyang officials away, and Duan Qirui raised his legs and left.

Li Yuanhong snorted and left the airport, he didn't care, this president is not a president in the real sense, but although it is a false name, it also makes him feel good, as for what happened to the Beiyang political axe, he sneered in his heart.

The reporters present recorded the whole farce at Yanjing Airport with their cameras, and the next day major newspapers reported on the incident.

Some newspapers called this incident "Beiyang officials' street storming incident," and this name was soon widely adopted, and people began to call this incident "Beiyang officials' street storming incident."

After the incident, there was a fierce discussion in public opinion in China.

The major newspapers of the East China faction gloated a little over this matter, not mentioning the illegal political axe in East China, but satirizing the behavior of Beiyang officials and enumerating the various behaviors of Beiyang officials in the local area.

The newspapers of the Beiyang faction angrily denounced East China's political axe for being unconscionable and openly trampling on the Chinese Constitution. The words were so fierce that he almost criticized Xia Jun's wolf ambition by name.

However, they are still a little sensible, and they know that they can personally attack Xia Jun no matter what, otherwise they will be drowned in the anger of the people.

The debate between the two sides quickly turned into a war of scolding, and the people of the provinces under the rule of East China read the scolding war in the newspapers and were very calm.

Anyway, it is not the East China political axe that suffers, so it is still very happy, according to the newspaper, now the East China political axe has replaced the administrative staff of the Beiyang political axe, and the unification of China's government decree has been preliminarily completed.

It's unified, it's a great joy!

Many businesses even set off firecrackers and unfurled banners -- "Celebrate China's ......reunification."

The scolding war between the two sides was at a disadvantage in Beiyang from the very beginning, because their scope of influence was not large, unlike the major newspapers in East China, the distribution channels covered the whole of China, and some even had overseas distribution.

Moreover, when the two sides criticize each other, the East China faction can criticize more things in Beiyang, and the Beiyang faction can criticize the East China political axe only in terms of procedural and legal violations.

Soon the reaction of the people in the provinces under the rule of East China appeared on paper.

The press of the East China faction claimed: "The replacement of the Beiyang administrative personnel is highly supported by the people, and the people of the whole of China are now enthusiastically looking forward to an environment in which government decrees can be unified." ”

Then, the East China press conducted an investigation into the people under the rule of the Beiyang political axe.

The vast majority of the people in the provinces under the former Beiyang rule expressed their support for this result, and their living conditions after the arrival of the East China administrators were greatly improved.

The East China press also conducted a large number of investigations and interviews, and soon got the general voice of the people in those provinces.

The people of the provinces did not want the Beiyang officials to go back, and they firmly supported the administrators in East China, believing that they were the real parent officials.

The people's hearts are lost!

This is the final evaluation of the Beiyang political axe by the East China press.

Liang Qichao, a great writer of the Republic of China, published his views on the incident of Beiyang officials hitting the street in the newspaper for the first time.

"The behavior of East China's political axe is indeed illegal, but the public opinion is like this, and it should not be violated. Moreover, the unification of China's government decree is the most important matter at present, and it is right to consider the country and the nation, and the political axe of East China has become a great cause, and our generation does not need to fight anymore, and the existence of Beiyang is no longer necessary. ”

Liang Qichao's remarks suddenly caused even more waves, because public opinion was changed to whether it was illegal or not, and whether it was necessary for the Beiyang political axe to exist.

Li Yuanhong, who had been silent, publicly announced on 26 September that in order to conform to the will of the people, he would recognize the legal surnames of the bills submitted to the parliament before the East China Political Axe, and hand over the three provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu to the full management of the East China Political Axe.

Li Yuanhong's decision has seriously damaged the interests of the Beiyang Group, but it is strange that Duan Qirui did not react to this, but allowed Li Yuanhong's behavior.

Duan Qirui knew that it was useless for him to oppose it, what else could he do if the wood was already in the boat, it was just a nominal question now.

Liang Qichao immediately found Duan Qirui and said to Duan Qirui: "The prime minister should conform to the general trend of the world, dissolve Beiyang, and push East China to the forefront. ”
