In the past few years, when Wang Youhong encounters problems that cannot be solved, he will go through all kinds of materials of the People's Party. No matter how complex the problem may seem, if you find the right manuscript, you can find a solution. Faced with the parliament's attempt to "rebel", Wang Youhong habitually began to look for corresponding ideas in his thinking.

Wang Youhong's most commonly used documents are "Analysis of China's Classes", "Concise Principles of Political Economy", and "Summary of Marx's Surplus Value". It's just that what Chen Ke writes is sometimes too profound, and in the case of "Theory of Practice", which Wang Youhong likes very much, he can probably understand it every time he reads it, but the feeling of reading it is very different every time. As for the "Theory of Contradiction," which Chen Ke himself asked the People's Party comrades to study in various speeches, Wang Youhong read it like a book from heaven. This is also the reason why Wang Youhong wants to marry a female teacher of the People's Party as a concubine. Marrying a wife to gain virtue, and taking a concubine to obtain talent. If the concubine wants to be loved by her husband, she must show what satisfies her husband. Or good-looking, or know how to serve people, or be able to help her husband intellectually.

The struggle with the parliament was so troublesome that even if he calmed down and thought about it repeatedly, Wang Youhong couldn't even think of the whole picture of the whole problem. There are many connections in Jiangsu, the gentry, the tax police, the army, the parliament, and the Civic Party, which has just been formed. Wang Youhong felt dizzy, the relationship between these people seems simple, but the demands of each force are very different, and many of them are fundamentally contradictory. If you want to build a balance between these forces, you can't find a suitable way.

Wiping his face with the palm of his hand, Wang Youhong sighed deeply, and casually picked up the booklet with "Theory of Contradiction" written in front of him, Wang Youhong wanted to change his mood by studying this most profound article.

There are a few words marked in red in the booklet, such as "Two armies fight, one wins and one loses, so victory or defeat is determined by internal causes." The winner is either strong or because of his infallibility in command, the loser is either weak or inappropriate in his command, and the external causes are caused by internal causes. Wang Youhong can read this passage.

For another passage, "In contrast to the metaphysical view of the universe, the materialist dialectical view of the universe advocates the study of the development of things from the inside of things, from the relationship of one thing to other things, that is, the development of things as the inevitable movement of things within things, and the movement of each thing is related to and affects other things around it." The fundamental reason for the development of things lies not in the outside of things but in the inside of things, and lies in the contradictions within things. There is this contradiction within everything, and therefore gives rise to the movement and development of things. This contradiction within things is the fundamental cause of the development of things, and the interconnection and mutual influence of one thing and other things is the second reason for the development of things. In this way, materialist dialectics is a powerful opposition to the metaphysical mechanical materialism and the exogenous or passive theory of vulgar evolution. It is clear that mere external causes can only cause the mechanical movement of things, i.e., the increase or decrease in the size and quantity of the range, and cannot explain why things are so different in nature and how they change from each other. In fact, even mechanical motion propelled by external forces has to be ...... through the contradictions within things"

If it is obvious that it is a general outline, Wang Youhong can't understand it. This is not the vague classical Chinese, but the vernacular. However, there are many nouns in this vernacular that Wang Youhong can't understand at all. Terms such as "movement", "metaphysics", "mechanical materialism", and "materialist dialectics" have been seen by Wang Youhong in Chen Ke's other articles, but he has not been able to understand them.

Holding back his impatience, Wang Youhong flipped through a few pages in a row, and another text marked in red appeared in front of him, "The contradiction of different qualities can only be solved by using different methods." For example, the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie is resolved by the methods of socialist revolution; The contradiction between the masses of the people and the feudal system was resolved by the method of democratic revolution; The contradiction between colonialism and imperialism was resolved by the method of national revolutionary war; The contradiction between the working class and the peasant class in a socialist society is resolved by the methods of agricultural collectivization and agricultural mechanization; Contradictions within the People's Party should be resolved by means of criticism and self-criticism; The contradiction between society and nature should be resolved by the method of developing productive forces. The process changes, the old process and the old contradiction are eliminated, the new process and the new contradiction occur, and the methods of resolving the contradiction are also different. ”

Wang Youhong can read this passage, but he just doesn't understand why Chen Ke, a high-ranking ruler, should stand on the side of the "proletariat". Zhang Yutong and the gentry were envious of the extremely low official taxes in the base areas, while Wang Youhong was envious of the strong administrative and organizational capabilities of the base areas. Now that the landlords and gentry have been swept away, the People's Party is the only ruler in the base area.

If he had such a strong administrative and organizational ability, Wang Youhong firmly believed that he would do better than Chen Ke. Isn't it just that there is no tax and more benefits to the subordinates? As long as you have money in your hands, who wouldn't do this kind of thing? Wang Youhong felt that he was just a little less lucky than Chen Ke, if he could see through the trend of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty earlier, and plan more for himself earlier, the situation in Jiangsu would not have become so chaotic.

Am I too soft on my own hands? Wang Youhong thought, is it too gentle to deal with these gentry? If before, when Wang Youhong only mastered the army, he shouted "Propertied people, unite!" "When he still had to compromise, now that the situation in Jiangsu has stabilized and the People's Party has not shown any intention of annexing southern Jiangsu, Wang Youhong feels that his status in Jiangsu should not be so low. Those in power should not be constrained, this is Wang Youhong's view. When he was a guard with Zhang Xun, he had seen the majesty of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and it was true that a word could decide the life and death of others. Now Zhang Xun is in Jiangxi, and when the People's Party seized Jiangxi, the reason was very simple: "The governor of Jiangxi is a hardcore royalist", in fact, the governor of Jiangsu at that time had nothing to do with the royalists at all, and as for the iron, it is even more not.

If you have an army and a status, then you should do whatever you want. Perhaps the rulers should be nice to those below, but at the same time, the rulers should also have the power to send their subordinates at will. "Thunder, rain and dew are all jun's grace", Wang Youhong set up such an idea when he was a guard, and he thought that he should have such power when he was in power.

"Hey......" Wang Youhong let out a long sigh and casually closed the booklet of "Theory of Contradiction". Nine times out of ten, things in the world are unsatisfactory. Even if he became the governor of Jiangsu, he still couldn't exercise his power as he wanted, which made Wang Youhong feel depressed.

Wang Youhong regretted that his power was not great, but the lawmakers in Jiangsu felt that Wang Youhong's power was a bit excessive. He Sui was the second-in-command of the newly formed "Civic Party." Twenty percent of the members of the Jiangsu parliament have now joined the Civic Party. They support the Civic Party, but because they have many concerns, there are at least 20% of them who have not joined the Civic Party. Those who have various ties with the Civic Party stand in the Jiangsu parliament, which is as much as 70%.

After today's daytime parliamentary session, the backbone of the Civic Party convened. Zhang Yutong has already made his position clear during the day. The Civic Party wanted the power of taxation to be transferred to the gentry. This was also one of the main positions of the Civic Party when it was founded. The other main position is "to protect the private property of citizens from infringement".

"Ladies and gentlemen, there were governors in Jiangsu, commanders of the new army, political envoys, and academic envoys, and the power was not only in the hands of the governor. At present, there are only two governors in Jiangsu, and the parliament, and these governors of Jiangsu should have been elected by the parliament. All competencies should be decided by the Parliament. But now there is only one governor of Jiangsu who is in charge of affairs. When He Sui said this, he couldn't help but sneer, "It's not so much the governor of Jiangsu as the governor of southern Jiangsu." If we can protect the territory and the people, it doesn't matter, in the face of the People's Party, our Jiangsu governor can only sit idly by. Even in the matter of his own concubine, the People's Party reached out to intervene, but he did not dare to say anything. ”

Hearing He Sui lash out at Wang Youhong's incompetence, the members of the Civic Party couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Councilor He, if our governor of Jiangsu wants to be in the nest, we have no other way. I'm afraid that Lord Governor still thinks that we are really troublesome. ”

"I heard a story about two brothers who went to hunt wild geese. But one thought that the wild geese should be steamed, and the other should be braised the wild goose, and the two argued about it. By the time the geese had flown away, there had been no argument for a result. Although the People's Party is hateful, the People's Party still knows how to make the silk industry bigger first. If you can't build the industry, how can you talk about income? ”

"But I don't think Admiral Wang doesn't care about the affairs of this silk company." Zhang Yutong said. During the day, Wang Youhong asked about the articles of association of the silk company, and he remembered it very clearly.

He Sui was very disappointed with Zhang Yutong's naïve performance, "Councilor Wang, can't we handle the affairs of the silk company ourselves?" In this matter, in addition to being a referee when the People's Party came to us to discuss cooperation, how much effort did he make himself? The reason why we want to set up this silk company is to reduce taxes, if the tax is still the same as before after the formation, why do we bother with all this effort? ”

After Zhang Yutong said this, other parliamentarians also found the key. Wang Youhong was only interested in how to set up a silk company, and he didn't talk about the most important tax exemption for silk companies. This attitude can be said to be an attempt to understand comprehensively, and it can also be said to be an implicit opposition to the tax cut.

"If you want to make a silk company bigger, you have to have benefits that everyone can see. There are so many people who grow mulberry and silkworms in Jiangsu, and there is no tax reduction, how can we let everyone join the silk company, and how can we let everyone abide by the rules of the silk company? He Sui asked.

"Let's send someone to discuss it with the governor of the king in private, shall we?" Zhang Yutong said.

"If such a thing has to be discussed privately, what is this council to do? Some things can be discussed privately, but the matter of this silk company is related to the foundation of the whole Jiangsu, and it is not appropriate to discuss it with a few people in private. If people find out, they will think that we people are just planning for ourselves. Moreover, this parliament itself was opened only after deciding on the affairs of Jiangsu, and if everything has to be discussed privately, what else do we need the parliament to do? ”

He Sui said categorically and loudly. The members of the parliament were all in good spirits when they heard this.

"What Councillor Ho said is reasonable. It's just that we can't do this kind of thing now, right? A lawmaker asked.

"That's why I said earlier, there used to be governors and envoys. The political envoy is in charge of financial affairs, and now where do we still have the position of political envoy in southern Jiangsu. At that time, we thought that the People's Party was likely to fight, but we were not able to insist on this matter, but agreed to set up a governor and take over power. Looking at it now, it was really a mistake. He replied.

"What does Councillor Ho mean?" Zhang Yutong felt that He Sui's words revealed a sense of danger.

"I mean, if Governor Chang refuses to make concessions on the taxes of the silk company, then we have to pass the council and set up a special official position in charge of finances." He replied.

"This ......" Zhang Yutong did not believe that Wang Youhong could agree to this matter.

"I naturally have a plan for this matter, and it is not convenient to explain it now. But I think there will be news soon. When the news comes back, I will definitely explain it to you. He Sui smiled, and there was a strong confidence in this smile.
