Section 192 The Party Conference of the Rich and Strong Party

"I know a lot of people here are excited about what has happened during this time. The abdication of the Qing Emperor www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is a good thing for China. ”

"I also know that many of you are full of respect for the Alliance, and you are puzzled and even dissatisfied with the actions I have taken."

"It's all human nature, because you're all young people, and it's understandable to be a little radical in your heart. But if you don't distinguish the nature of something, then I have to stand up and criticize you. If a person with foreign funding, under the banner of patriotism, and messing up his country, can be called a hero, then this is an insult to a hero. ”

"I welcome the abdication of the Qing Emperor, but I want to make it clear that they are not on the same path as them. They are a revolutionary party, we are an industrial party, they are destructive and we are constructive, and I have to stress this and I want you to keep it in mind. ”

In the conference room of Dashifang, more than 90 rich and powerful party cadres gathered together, and Yang Chao summarized the recent events at the beginning.

He must make it clear to these people, because for Yang Chao, these people are the continuation of his thoughts, the executors of his ideas, the promoters of Yang Chao's ideas, and the bad ones, these are Yang Chao's minions, helping Yang Chao do what he wants to do and help him realize his ideals.

Therefore, Yang Chao must unify these people with his own thoughts.

Fortunately, these people are all elites, and all of them have a background of studying abroad, except for one person, all of them are European and American schools.

If it is said that in Japan, Brother Pao's alliance will be the boss, and the rich and strong party in Europe and the United States will have an absolute advantage.

From Zhang Zhidong to the present, the Qing court has sent a total of 30,000 people to Europe and the United States, of which 12,000 have joined the Fuqiang Party.

The reason why Brother Pao's organization is the boss in Japan is because Yang Chao looks down on Japan, there is still a certain gap between Japan's education level and the West at this time, the Japanese sent 100,000 students to the West, and the Qing court sent a large number of students to Japan, what can you learn? History proves that among those who later made significant contributions to Chinese science, such as Qian Xuesen and Li Siguang, these people basically learned knowledge in Europe and the United States, even if they studied in Japan, they will continue to study in the West later, just like the elites who graduated from Japanese universities, the first choice is to study in the West.

Therefore, Yang Chao attaches more importance to Europe and the United States, and has been operating in Europe and the United States for the earliest time and has invested the greatest energy.

The second is because of the problem of students studying in Japan, because Zhang Zhidong has always encouraged students to study abroad, but he can't distinguish the gap between Europe, America and Japan, so a large number of Western-style officials choose to send international students to Japan, where tuition fees are lower and life is cheaper; After Zhang Zhidong took power, he gave international students the titles of lifter and jinshi. This encouraged wealthy families, large and small, to send their children to study in the hope of receiving such political treatment. So it created a big craze for staying in Japan. The number of international students in Japan is more than 50,000 in Europe and the United States combined.

And because Japan's own higher education is not yet developed, and it cannot even meet the needs of its own students' education, the vast majority of Chinese students who go to school in Japan go to Pheasant University, which is a rotten school opened by Japanese businessmen in order to cater to rich Chinese students, which is not recognized by many Japanese governments and is the target of rectification by the Japanese Ministry of Education. In such a school, many students did not even learn Japanese, but instead learned to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

But there is one point, many of these students are pampered young masters from rich families, they are not old but have a big temper, so they are relatively easy to instigate, so Brother Pao has the support of a large number of such figures.

Of course, Brother Pao's concept is still relatively bluffing, and in a sense, it is also of positive significance, but Brother Pao is heavy on destruction and light on construction, and he has no head to play, which makes it difficult for Yang Chao to accept, and Brother Pao is too unscrupulous, there is no bottom line, the revolution can, but rely on a group of gangsters to revolution? It's so shameless that it's hard to believe that it's righteous.

"Construction, remember is construction, and it is down-to-earth construction that can create a strong country, not endless destruction. It was not the Revolution that made France what it is today, but the Industrial Revolution! It was precisely the Revolution that put an end to France's status as a great power rival to Britain, and reduced it to a second-class country that was suppressed by Britain in the world. ”

"Besides, the French have a thick foundation, and they can withstand one toss after another, but we can't."

Yang Chao continued.

said that this is the end, and then began to talk about serious things: "I have a data here, 3 million, 88%, which is the current number of students in our Shandong and the enrollment rate of primary schools. Due to the short time frame for the implementation of the education system, the current data on secondary schools and universities are not meaningful for the time being. But primary schools are the foundation, and I think this data is quite beautiful, so I once again commend Comrade Pan Xun of our party, who has been silently fighting in the front line of education in less than five years, and since he was ordered to run education, he has built tens of thousands of primary schools, of which 1,000 are new schools that meet Western standards, and all other schools have also joined in mathematics education. Comrade Pan Xun's spirit of hard work and single-minded construction is worth learning from all of us! ”

Yang Chao said, stood up and walked to Pan Xun on the side, bowed to him, and bowed ninety degrees.

Pan Xun has always been not a person who likes publicity, since 1908, in charge of the education of Shandong, and then began to vigorously promote new education, constantly renovate, new schools, from Shanghai, Tianjin, Yantai and other port cities, continue to introduce teachers, popularize four-year primary education.

But he could achieve such results, and it would be impossible without Yang Chao's strong support, so Pan Xun immediately returned the salute and didn't even dare to say it.

Yang Chao personally helped Pan Xun sit down.

Yang Chao went on to praise Li Fuan.

A few years ago, Li Fuan set up a general industrial bureau in Shandong by setting up the factory tax department to oversee the entire industrial enterprises in Shandong. It can be said that he is doing a good job, but there are some flaws. He has a cousin who, in the second year after he was admitted to the scholarship to study abroad, was also admitted to the quota of international students to study in France, studying business administration. After returning to China, Li Fuan recruited him into the factory tax department he was in charge of.

But something went wrong, and his cousin, relying on his prestige, actually colluded and conspired to create a community of interests, a hamster group, and corruption in the tax department.

After Li Fuan found out, he was so angry that he wanted to kill his cousin, he remembered what Yang Chao said, if the foreigners were not greedy when they were managed, but Li Fuan was corrupt when they managed, this was Li Fuan's insult to Yang Chao, Li Fuan also thought that his cousin humiliated him, he found a problem when he inspected the customs warehouse, and after inquiring in detail, he found that the problem was quite serious, and even the bottom bell hand knew that his cousin was a moth, he immediately picked up a crowbar, walked to his cousin's office and began to beat him.

Fortunately, his cousin was not killed, but he broke a leg. For this reason, Li Fuan was also arrested by the yamen and almost sentenced, and finally his family persuaded his cousin that he would not be held accountable. The law of the Qing Dynasty pays attention to the fact that the people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable, so this matter is over.

After that, Li Fuan learned from the pain, set up a large supervision team, and began to conduct rigorous and routine audits, and at one time the number of people in the supervision team exceeded the entire management team, but there was no problem like his cousin.

There is an efficient tax department and the State Administration of Industry to manage Shandong's industry, although there are other yamen in Shandong, but the management of industry is extremely efficient, very famous in the country, attracting industrial capital from Tianjin to almost all port cities such as Guangdong to invest, and also by those capitalists to bring the conditions of Shandong back to their hometowns, the Shandong model has become a phenomenon, so that many capitalists hope that their provinces can also imitate.

"You should also pay attention to your body when you are working. You're getting older! ”

Li Fuan still works very hard, just like he used to work under Hurd, this is a person with different pursuits.

But too much work, especially the difficulty of corruption governance, far exceeded his imagination, and he began to understand Hurd, but he still could not accept Hurd's approach of not allowing Chinese to enter senior management.

"A culture of integrity is not something that can be built in a moment. It's a cultural relationship. Our country has always been a power society, while the West is a commercial society, and power is about deceit, unscrupulous means, and commercial behavior must be honest and fair, otherwise it will not be able to continue. As a result, there is a widespread lack of integrity in our society, and it is really difficult to keep those in power from being greedy. Therefore, we can only increase the salaries of managers on the one hand, so that they can have a decent life without corruption, and on the other hand, we must establish a strict and efficient monitoring team, so that the corrupt have no place to stand. When the cost of corruption is too high, there is no corruption. In a few years, honesty will become a habit and a culture, and that is the long-term solution. ”

"But I'm in a hurry. You've done a good job now, just hold on. Don't have too much psychological burden! Have faith that we can always succeed. ”

Yang Chao comforted Li Fuan, his cousin's matter always made him think it was a stain on his body.

"But striking iron still needs its own hardness, and there must be no moths in your supervision and audit team."

Yang Chao emphasized.

Li Fuan nodded, but he didn't dare to pack a ticket with Yang Chao like the first time, because he really didn't dare to believe in people's hearts, the cousins he knew, the cousins who grew up together since childhood would be corrupted, who else could he trust?

praised Li Fuan's achievements and gave him some encouragement, Yang Chao then criticized a person:

"I also want to criticize one person, Comrade Wang Qiu! As the propaganda minister of our party, I think he has been very incompetent in the past few years. He rarely did pioneering work in our party's propaganda work, and he didn't even care much about it. Instead, he is dedicated to doing his factory. ”

Wang Qiu borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from Yang Chao to open a petrochemical factory, but as Yang Chao expected, the prospects were very bad, and there was no profit, not to mention, and he was forced to lose money by Rockefeller's oil export price increase, and the 100,000 taels of silver have all been pasted upside down, and now he has borrowed a circle of money, but he can't even maintain the wages of the workers.

The factory is not doing well, the more Wang Qiu cares, the more energy he spends on the factory, and as for the propaganda work of the Fuqiang Party, it has basically become a form of spending money to find other newspapers to write advertorials.

Wang Qiu's face turned red, but he couldn't argue.

"The next phase of our work is to fix some of the previous defects. It is very unreasonable that our Prosperity and Strength Party currently has 9,000 members, all of whom are concentrated in those who have studied abroad, but ignore the vast number of compatriots in China. Therefore, the focus of our work in the next stage is to develop the vast number of compatriots in China and the vast number of patriotic doers who are willing to build the country. People like Zhang Jian are completely in line with our party's philosophy and meet the conditions for joining our party. ”

"At the same time, we've been focusing on the elite, and that's not right. The broad masses of workers' compatriots and technical backbones, as well as those who accept our party's ideas, should also be absorbed. Our party is not a party of a certain stratum, not a party of a certain force, our party is the party of the people of the whole country, and it is a party that is determined to build the country and benefit the whole people! ”

In the end, Yang Chao set the direction of the development of the work in the next stage, and then listened to the reports of these comrades.

Most of these people have worked in various foreign enterprises, Yang Chao gave them the task of letting them bury their heads in training for three years, as long as they can prove themselves in technology and management, Yang Chao will help them start a business, and now they meet this requirement, there are more than 300 people.

Yang Chao asked these people to draw up a project, write a proposal, and then submit it to his own secretariat for review, and if it was feasible, Yang Chao would give them a loan of more than 100,000 taels of silver as their start-up capital.

In fact, most of these cadres here are among the 300 people, because as cadres, their management ability has been more tempered, so they often perform better in the enterprise, and basically climb up to the middle management level.

Therefore, the discussion is very intense, all of them are expressing their understanding of the economy, and the three sentences are inseparable from their respective majors and industries, and it can be seen that these people have basically the ability to become a business manager and have the conditions to start a business.

Cordial conversations, on every issue, Yang Chao has his own unique thoughts and opinions, trying his best to persuade, influence and infect these people, so that they can have one idea, one voice, and one direction with him.

After a heated one-day meeting, the next day, Yang Chao flew to the north in an airship.

Before Yang Chao arrived in the north, he had already approved Wu Peifu's battle plan.

In May 1912, when the Heilongjiang River had just been unsealed, the spring water was rolling with ice floes and flowing into the sea downstream.

And the Northeast War, which had been silent for half a year, once again sounded the horn of battle, and 300,000 Chinese soldiers, like the rolling torrent of Heilongjiang, marched towards Chita! (To be continued.) )
