"Yes, yes, Chief Xiang, let's talk about it, we all want to hear it, don't we?" Song Wencheng, as an old man in the base, only kept Xiang Qingxi's respect in his heart, and sometimes when he spoke, he was not as restrained as others.

"Yes, let's talk about it, Chief Xiang, we all want to hear it. Ma Kuo moved his chair so that he was closer to Xiang Qingxi.

"Do you want to hear it?" Xiang Qingxi looked at everyone, the people present couldn't stop nodding, and the people at the other tables came over, they also wanted to hear it, seeing this scene, Xiang Qingxi had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then I'll talk about the difference between the alliance and the federation first." ”

"Let's talk about the federation first, the federation refers to the union between the parts and the parts, once the federation is formed, it will no longer enjoy its own autonomy, just like our current base, if the battalion under the command of Lu Wenhan forms a federal system, it will be managed in a unified manner, not in a separate situation, in general, the federation is a political unit that constitutes an organic whole, usually composed of the original independent units, these units have given their main powers to the whole government, it may be the government of one of the units or the newly formed government。 ”

Xiang Qingxi stopped, looking at everyone's expressions, some people nodded secretly, as if they understood the meaning, and some people pondered the meaning there.

Xiang Qingxi didn't continue to speak, but leaned back in the chair and looked at everyone's expressions like this, "Maybe some people don't understand, then I'll say the meaning of the alliance again, and if you compare the two, maybe you can understand." ”

"Alliances are between countries, and after union, they enjoy their own autonomy. In conclusion, a union is a 'union of nations', while a federation is a 'united state'. Do you understand?"

"Understood, if our base is established as a country and united with the Jin country, we can call it an alliance. And now we want to establish a country, and together with Lord Lu, the commander of the True Source State, we can form a country, and our country can be called a federation. Is that what you mean, Chief Xiang?" Song Wencheng said, standing up.

Xiang Qingxi nodded, "Yes, that's what it means." A republic, on the other hand, means that the state and government are public, not private, and that the state and government should work for the public interest, not for the private interest. So our new country, it's better to call it the New China Republic, it's a new system, not a union or a federation, what do you think?"

After Xiang Qingxi finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, everyone just nodded, but they didn't make a sound, everyone was collectively silent, and no one answered, "Hey, why don't you speak? ”

"Chief Xiang, we basically understand what you said, but that's not what you mean, I think you want to set up a kingdom, and you will be the king or emperor to rule us, do you mean that?" Chai Wenshan turned his head and asked the people gathered around the table.

"Yes, yes, we want you to be the emperor and let Instructor Yu be the prime minister, and we are willing to obey your orders. Ma Kuo stood up and said.

That's what I mean. Niu Xingping stood up and replied.

"I am willing to embrace you as king and lead us to slaughter in all directions. Cheng Yiyuan also stood up and shook the pu fan in his hand.

Yu Hongliang stood up, took two steps back, and knelt down on his knees, "Brother Xiang, maybe this is the last time I call you like this, I swear, my Yu Hongliang's life is yours, for more than a year, I know what the brothers think, so, Chief Xiang, don't shirk anymore, we are willing to embrace you as the king, and make immortal contributions in this land, although there is no regret in death." With that, he threw himself on the ground.

Seeing Yu Hongliang kneeling, everyone stood up, took a few steps back, and all of them knelt on the ground, shouting loudly, "We are willing to embrace you as the king, lead us, sweep the Quartet, we want to see what is the life of the four seas, what is the peaceful and prosperous world, the king." ”

Seeing that the people around Xiang Qingxi's table knelt down at Xiang Qingxi, the other people in the cafeteria stood up one after another and knelt down in the direction of Xiang Qingxi.

Xiang Qingxi saw that the entire cafeteria was on his knees, so he had to stand up, push the chair aside, and said, "Everyone please get up first, listen to me, and then we will discuss this matter?"

Ma Dian said in a loud voice, "No, if you don't be our king, we will not be able to kneel for a long time." ”

"Yes, if I don't agree, I won't be able to kneel for a long time. The crowd shouted together.

"How long have you practiced this line, and the content is the same, hehe, Brother Yu, this is your idea, right?" Xiang Qingxi looked at Yu Hongliang.

Yu Hongliang raised his head and said seriously, "Chief Xiang, this is really not my idea, I think, this is the wish of all the people in the base." ”

"You guys get up first, how can we discuss it when you kneel like this, do you want me to leave and never come back? Get up, listen to me, if you still want me to be your king, it's not too late to do it, right?" Xiang Qingxi had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Yu Hongliang, Chai Wenshan and the others looked at each other, nodded, and stood up together, "Chief Xiang, say it, let's listen." ”

"Okay, when I established this base, I didn't have any other meaning, I just wanted someone to protect my industry when I was away, you also know, the Qingfeng Restaurant in Zhenyuan Prefecture is the restaurant of me and the shopkeeper Li, we are afraid that someone will make trouble, and we are afraid that there will be officers and soldiers to harass us, so I set up the base, this is my original purpose, not to be a king, do you understand?" Xiang Qingxi tried to slow down his tone.

"Understood. But ......" Song Wencheng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiang Qingxi waving his hand, "Wencheng, I'll talk about it later, listen to me." ”

"Brother Yu and I are from the same place, I think some of you also know that the education we received there does not allow us to set up ourselves as kings, everything in the country is public, collective, public, not private, this is one of the other reasons why I don't want to be a king, I will start with the reason, don't worry. Xiang Qingxi saw that someone was starting to be anxious, so he quickly began to narrate.

"The second reason, you also know, I am often not in the base, I believe most people know where I am, yes, I am cultivating in the Divine Pearl, that is to say, I have no time to manage the country, the ancients said, the country cannot be without a king for a day, you say, I am not in the base every day, how can I be this king?" Xiang Qingxi once again stopped Chai Wenshan's urge to speak.

"The third reason, I say a word of crepe, this absolute power can lead to absolute corruption, I believe that you must want me to be a Ming King, an enlightened king, right?" Seeing that everyone nodded, he continued, "You definitely don't want to find a faint king to manage you. ”

"Also, the people's demands, in fact, are really not much, they just want the dwellers to have their houses, the cultivators to have their land, if I really want to build a state, I want a country like this, I don't want to see any corruption, any bureaucracy, and these, a real republic, can be achieved. Xiang Qingxi talked eloquently, although everyone kept nodding, but it could be seen that everyone's eyes were becoming more and more anxious.

"Okay, I'm done, which of you want to say?" Xiang Qingxi glanced at everyone, there was still a lot to say, but seeing everyone's anxious eyes, he had to interrupt his speech and stop to give everyone a chance.
