"Although I am a political layman, I know what it means for the Ji family to come to Hubei. For the people of the Zeng faction, this kind of behavior seems to be a bit deceitful and too much. But I must also admit that the big man is really very discerning and sees the restrictions of transportation on the development of Wuhan. A bridge over the Yangtze River in Wuhan is destined to make Hubei's delegates think about it and make it difficult to choose. Even if things don't work out in the end, he seems to have played a role in dividing Huxiang. ”

"Huxiang here does not refer to the 'Huxiang' of the Huxiang school, but Hubei and Hunan. Due to geographical factors, Hunan is getting farther and farther away from Hubei, and the economic asymmetry will make it easier or later for Huxiang to separate. With Lord Zeng aiming at the position of Shoufu and charging, this move will make the differentiation between Hubei and Hunan come earlier.

Because it is impossible for the Hunan people to guarantee the interests of Hubei, Hubei Province, which is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces and has been established as the righteous heart of Central China, has too many external factors that make them succumb to it. ”

"Perhaps in the near future, when the people of Hubei really look up at the highest political arena of the country, the Huguang Group represented by Hubei will officially replace the Huxiang Group represented by Hunan......"

Hu Runzhi was writing about Xingtou, but someone knocked on the door of the guest room from outside.

"Please come in!" Hu Runzhi put down his pen, got up and stood and looked.

The guy at the hotel led a slender young man into the room, and judging by the man's stature and temperament, Hu Runzhi dared to conclude that this man was a soldier, or that he had been a soldier. The straight waist and high-spirited self-confidence are the same as those of soldiers in the army. And Hu Runzhi himself is a war correspondent.

The person who came was called Mao Yuchang, and he withdrew from the army after the end of the North American War. He served as a group captain with the rank of major. So instead of staying in North America, he returned to his hometown of Shaoshan. He didn't become an official again. But also did not leave politics. He used his savings from years in the army to set up an agricultural company, and on the other hand, he became a member of the local government advisory bureau in Shaoshan.

Mao Yichang was a shrewd man, and his years of military education and warfare in the south and north opened his eyes, and he soon made a name for himself in the local area, and his status as a retired major officer also made him a person who had all the trust of ordinary businessmen and the people. The company's business started with rice and pig and cattle business, and soon involved rice processing and pig and cattle breeding, and the capital more than doubled in two years, which was very prosperous.

Now Mao Yichang's political identity is still an officer of the Hunan Township Elders' Association, and he came to Wuhan this time. As the younger generation of Liu Kunyi, one of the existing bigwigs of the Huxiang faction, he posted to Hu Runzhi in this capacity.

Walking up to Hu Runzhi, he saluted and said, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu is invited." If it's convenient for you now, please come with me and I'll take you to see Mr. Liu. ”

Liu Kun retired from illness a year or two ago, and did not stay in the Beijing Congress, even in the Hunan Provincial Advisory Bureau. It can be regarded as one of the few surviving elders of the Zeng Guofan era. Liu Kunyi, whether it is fame or actual status, has a very important position in the Hunan political arena.

The family did not enter the cabinet, and with Liu Changyou and Liu Kunyi's uncles and nephews, they traveled around for more than ten years. The connections and local influence of all governors are not comparable to those of ordinary officials. Even the cabinet ministers, talking about local influence. There are also many people who are inferior to Liu.

After speaking, Mao Yichang took out a famous post from his pocket. It was handed over to Hu Runzhi.

This is Liu Kunyi's special name post, and he also carries a business card inside. It is generally only given to a specific person. This is because the business card is only Chinese at the moment, and it represents a person's face rather than a simple contact information.

In today's China, there is no such thing as business cards flying all over the sky. People who are qualified to print business cards are people of status, and most of them cherish their feathers. If the business card is handed over to a non-person and something is done, the person takes out the business card and shouts, but only the face of the owner of the business card is lost. Because in the Chinese tradition, there are 'famous thorns' and 'famous posts', which represent the meaning of not the name and address, but the person. It has a certain incarnation meaning!

Hu Runzhi saw the post and responded with a smile.

Mao Yichang was waiting for him outside the door, Hu Runzhi looked in the mirror and took care of his clothes, and polished his shoes, then picked up the guy and left the hotel with Mao Yichang unhurriedly.

To Hu Runzhi's surprise, Liu Kunyi actually sent a car to pick him up. Although I don't understand why Liu Kunyi's status is so polite to a reporter, even though this reporter has a lot of fame, Hu Runzhi still got into the car generously and was sent to Liu Kunyi's place in Wuhan by Mao Yichang.

"Old Liu!" Seeing Liu Kun in person, Hu Runzhi behaved very politely.

But Hu Runzhi's eyes were aimed at a pair of couplets hanging in the room again and again - it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, not to become a famous overlord. A sentence from His Majesty the Emperor's "Pounding the Yellow Dragon". At that time, the Qin army occupied half of the south of the Yangtze River, Li Xueming, Wu Jinzhu, and Li Shien, three generals and soldiers, based in Nanchang, pointed at Jiujiang, and the Huai army in the north of the Yangtze River crossed the river to reinforce the overall situation, and His Majesty the Emperor still insisted on launching an attack on Jiujiang immediately. Said it - it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord, this very imposing verse.

When the whole of Jiangnan fell into the hands of His Majesty, the Manchus and Western countries in the north of the Yangtze River hoped that the two sides could negotiate peace, and then China would come across the river from the south and the north to reproduce the historical North and South Dynasties. His Majesty the Emperor immediately replied with the whole poem! The name of the poem 'Pounding Yellow Dragon' means firm!

Now this song "Pounding the Yellow Dragon" has been included in the textbooks of primary schools by the Ministry of Culture and Education. It's very sycophant.

But Hu Runzhi will not think about the literary and historical value of this poem at this time, what he is thinking about now is what Liu Kunyi means by hanging this poem in the living room? Does this show that the Huxiang faction he represents will never back down to Ji Xiliang?

Liu Kun smiled, he didn't care about revealing his attitude, the Huxiang faction was down, but compared to a bunch of scattered sand attendants, Huxiang didn't bow his head to the Xiliang branch last season!

Moreover, the person who elected him was Zeng Jize, the son of Duke Wen Zhong, and with Duke Wen Zhong standing behind, Li Hongzhang, Liu Mingchuan and other Huaijun families also had to sell face. Even if Zeng Laojiu was dead, there would be more people to help. It's a pity that Zeng Guoquan, this guy, is so dead that he hasn't taken his last breath yet, he has offended too many people before.

"Mr. Hu, please be seated." Mao Yichang quickly handed over a cup of tea next to him, and Liu Kunyi said with a smile: "It's not a good tea." He himself is not very fond of tea, "I am not a teahouse here, and I don't pay so much attention to making tea, so you have to bear with this taste." ”

Hu Runzhi said 'politely', and after sitting down, he put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, with a strange expression on his face.

"Old Liu, I'm very curious, you put this poem of Your Majesty in the living room, are you expressing your attitude? If my understanding is not wrong. Liu Lao was reluctant to make peace with that one. In your heart, you don't want to show weakness. You mean that you want to go to Beijing in one go, but the Huxiang faction, counting the entire Hunan and Huai faction, still has this power to this day? The influence of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge on Hubei is unimaginably huge. Under the influence of this news, if the Xianghuai Department wants to be tough, aren't you afraid of the alienation between Hubei and Hunan? ”

Hearing Hu Runzhi's inquiry, Liu Kun smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Hu, obviously in your opinion, the current Huxiang faction and the current Xianghuai faction are really not as good as before. The old man also admits the strength of the attendant department, but we are also aware of the shortcomings of the attendant department. Before solving the problems of infighting and internal friction, a single Ji Xiliang will not make the entire Xianghuai timid. In our country, there is an old saying that 'the king wins and loses'. As long as Zeng Jie has just won the first assistant of this cabinet, everything is still promising! ”

Mr. Hu will soon become the editor-in-chief of Huguang Daily. On behalf of the 30 million Huxiang children, the old man expressed his welcome. I sincerely hope that Mr. can establish a worthy friendship with my Huxiang faction in the coming days. ”

At the last parting time, Liu Kunyi handed Hu Runzhi a document bag, which contained information, a thick pinch of the industrial, agricultural, mineral engineering and marketing network related to Michel in Hubei and Hunan provinces over the years. Liu Kunyi wants to explain the fact that Hunan and Hubei are one family, and after the country established Wuhan as the center of Central China, the great development of Wuhan in recent years and the rapid development of Hubei in recent years have all had the strong support of Hunan.

If Hunan and Hubei are divided, politically, the Hunan faction will of course suffer very hard, but economically, it seems that Hubei has lost more. This is because the value of a cabinet's interests and hidden influence will definitely dominate Hunan's public opinion and the direction of the workers' and peasants' economy.

If the people of Hubei fight back on this, Hunan will definitely be in a mood.

Liu Kunyi is not a verbal cannon, nor does he think that he can completely convince Hu Runzhi as soon as he meets with his prestige, and he must come up with real evidence. The interests of the two lakes are closely related, and if Hubei abandons Hunan for the sake of a Yangtze River bridge, will it really gain more than lose?

Hu Runzhi returned to his residence in a relatively relaxed mood. Liu Kun is particular about people, and he didn't force him to express his position, so that's it. As for how far things will develop in the future, it depends on the development of facts. The people competing for the throne of Shoufu are not only Ji Xiliang and Zeng Jize, Huo Guangzheng's threat is greater, right?

This has led China's industrial construction for many years, has great influence in all parties and interest groups throughout the country, and is also His Majesty's cousin, he is the first in the limelight in today's public voice, and has a lot of winning opportunities for Zeng Jize and Ji Xiliang.

After Hu Runzhi returned to his residence, he opened the document bag, took out all the materials in it, and saw it until evening, the vision in the room was darkened, Hu Runzhi was about to get up to turn on the light, and suddenly there was an excited noise outside the window:

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the war situation in the Middle East has been reversed for the second time, and the tribes of the peninsula are armed to strangle the border, and they will not take a step beyond the thunder pool......"

"Selling Newspapers and Selling Newspapers ......" (To be continued......)
