September 7, 261 (191o), Wuchang.

That's right, starting on September 1 this year, China began to experiment with the "republican year" nationwide. This "republic" is the "Zhou Zhao Republic" of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After a few months of trial implementation this year, if there is no problem, the "Republican Year" will be officially used next year, and the Western Year, which was originally called "A.D.", will be renamed the "Western Calendar".

Originally, Wen Deji didn't care about the chronological calendar or anything, and for his own convenience, he directly used the "AD" era and calendar that he was used to before the crossing. But both he and the top management of Xingke underestimated the importance that people in this era attached to this aspect, as well as the strong national feelings.

Fortunately before the reunification, he adopted the Western Era internally, and no one would say anything, after all, it was ** armed, and it was understandable that he didn't need the era of the Qing Dynasty. But after reunification, it was not possible, and the people reacted strongly to the adoption of the Western era. Many people question the government, why do we use the Western chronology when we have so many dates available in China. This is quite polite, and there are people who are more damaged and say directly: "Why should the birth year of a foreign illegitimate child be used to determine the chronology of China?"

Even the indigenous high-level leaders within the CSD, such as Zhang Maniac and others, are very concerned about this. Those generals and ministers of the former Qing Dynasty, such as Zhao Erfeng, Xiliang and others, wrote one after another to express their opposition. Even the most sleek Yuan Datou wrote a letter to persuade Wen Desi to consider the opinions of the people again.

Well, to be honest, the way public opinion has become what it is now, and it is also caused by the Bundesi and the Science and Technology Socialist Party. Because of the strong rise of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, the wheels that China had originally rushed all the way to the abyss were forcefully pulled back, making China embark on a different path.

Wen Desi managed to get the Manchu Qing and Beiyang in two clicks, and won the approval of the great powers and successfully revised the treaty, canceled all privileges, and recovered all the concessions and part of the leased land. Next, he bulldozed the separatist forces in the northwest, and used the Little White Fleet to cruise the Western Ocean, forcing our Great Holland to spit out the Wansheng Islands (Natuna Islands), and let the local Chinese self-govern......

This series of events has boosted morale very much, and it has made the Chinese people who have been aggrieved for decades breathe a sigh of relief. However, the morale of the people has been improved, but then the morale has also been improved. At the time of the establishment of the Red Dynasty in the original time and space, China was divided and ravaged by the great powers for a longer time, especially in the later War of Resistance against Japan, the pride of the Celestial Empire was completely shattered, so it was easier to accept a series of Western standards such as chronology. Of course, such Chinese people are conducive to the rapid implementation of industrialization, but there is also a bad point, that is, they have gone from the idea of the Heavenly Empire to the other extreme, and all kinds of consciously or unconsciously worship foreign countries.

In the later generations of the original time and space, even though the Red Dynasty was already very rebellious, there were still a large number of foreigners in China, including some senior officials of the Red Party. The case of "foreigners enjoying national treatment in China", which has been criticized by many people, is a continuation of this kind of thinking. It wasn't until it became second in the world that this kind of thinking of worshipping the foreign began to disappear.

But China on this plane is not so miserable, and of course Wen Deji will not allow the bitter fate of the original time and space to be repeated. That is to say, now the Chinese generally still have the pride of the Celestial Empire, and this pride has not been completely dispelled by the cruel encounter. So when they see the hope of revival, they don't want to accept the West in its entirety.

In their opinion, things like modern science and technology, political and military systems, because China does not have them, and facts have proved that only these things can make the country strong, so they will not arrogantly refuse. But we don't have things like chronology and calendars, so why should we follow the standards of foreign devils?

What made Wen Deji feel most stubborn was that even a few Japanese party members from Kita Yihui came to dissuade him, and they claimed: "In the 4,000-year-old China, why do you need the chronology of European and American ghost animals?" Well, at that time, Japan did insist on using their own chronology.

If you want to say that the most lively thing in the first half of this year is this calendar dispute. Under the surging emotions of the masses, Wen Desi also gave in, and he was like a plan for the whole society to collect the year and calendar. The requirements are very simple, since it is a republic, of course, the era name of the traditional monarch is not wanted. The chronology and calendar should be simple and convenient, which can guide industrial and agricultural production well, and should also have Chinese characteristics, and at the same time, it should be easy to communicate with the world.

This can arouse everyone's interest, and people from all walks of life have come to participate. In particular, those masters of literature and history, whether domestic or wild, all of them were like chicken blood, and they started discussions with great interest, and they started pen battles in newspapers and periodicals everywhere. After more than three months of quarrels and discussions, a plan was finally formed that met the above requirements and could be accepted by the majority of people.

This is the system of the calendar system that is now being tried on a trial basis -- the parallel system of double calendar in two years, referred to as the "double calendar".

The solar calendar (Gregorian calendar) is used as the national calendar, and the summer calendar (Han calendar, lunar calendar) follows. The most important thing is that it is a lunisolar calendar, which determines the moon with the cycle of synodism, and uses the method of intercalation to make the average length of the year close to the solar return year. Because the sun and the moon are used at the same time, the law is quite complicated, and the setting of 7 leaps in 19 years is enough to make people headaches just because each different leap month is enough. In addition, the 24 solar terms are added to reflect the changing characteristics of the seasons, which ordinary people simply do not understand, no wonder there were professionals in ancient times to calculate the calendar, just because this thing is too complicated. Therefore, it does not meet the terms of simplicity and convenience.

The solar calendar has an overwhelming advantage in this regard, and it is very simple and easy to remember once every four years. However, the lunar calendar can not be without, although this is more complicated, but in the guidance of agricultural production, there are incomparable advantages of the solar calendar. Therefore, the last resort is to have two calendars in parallel.

But the years have changed, and they are different from the later generations of the original time and space. The republics of this plane are mainly based on the "republican calendar", supplemented by Western yuan. In this way, Chinese characteristics are maintained, which is in line with the Celestial Empire psychology of the people at this time, and it is also convenient to communicate with the world. Now the official format of the date in China is: Republic xx year (AD xx) - Gregorian month day (summer calendar month day) - hours, minutes, seconds, and so on.

As for why the "republican year" was finally adopted, the reason is that it is the most accurate. At the beginning, there were opinions on using various chronological methods, such as the birth of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the confluence of Yan and Huang, the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the birthday of Zhou Gong, the birthday of Confucius, the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, and the establishment of the Han Dynasty...... And so on, there are various years as the standard chronology.

However, after a long quarrel, the chronological method based on the "establishment of dynasties" is out, the reason is very simple, the current republic is not the restoration of those dynasties, why use the time they established to chronologically, this is definitely inappropriate, the government zhì is incorrect. The chronology of the births of the ancient sages was also out of the game, and these figures were either not universally representative like Confucius, and not everyone was a follower of Confucianism, not Wen Desi himself, nor was the vast majority of the top brass of the Science and Technology Party. Or, like the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, although it is universally representative, it is impossible to confirm the exact year. This point has been repeatedly emphasized by Wen Desi, and the standard of the chronology must be accurate, otherwise it will be a big joke to find out that the family was not born in that year? In the same way, the incident of "the confluence of Yan and Huang" was also out of the game for this reason.

So what remains in the end is the "republican chronology", which is very accurate and does not have the problem that it is difficult to determine. Secondly, the name "Republic" is also very in line with the main theme, which happens to coincide with the national name of "People's Republic of China".

According to the words of Zhang Binglin, director of the Central Propaganda Department, it is: "The republic uses the republican year, which is simply a perfect match." Chairman Wen happily made a direct decision: There is no need to choose anymore, just it

For the State Council, which has just moved to Wuchang, the matter of the chronological calendar is solved, but there are still a lot of headaches waiting for them.

At this time, the conference room of the State Department was filled with a room full of high-ranking officials

"Prime Minister, the time for this founding celebration is too tight, and many preparations have not been completed...... "Minister of Civil Affairs Yuwen Baochun said at the meeting.

"Yes, time is running out...... everyone nodded.

Wei Sunan, Minister of Construction, asked: "Why did President Wen set the founding ceremony on October 1? If it was delayed by two months, he would not be so nervous......

When he said this, all the high-ranking natives of this plane also nodded. They also felt very puzzled why Wen Deji had to choose the time at this time. Everyone is now in high spirits, and they all want to make this founding ceremony lively, the grander the better. Oh bah, when did our CSS run out of money? Besides, this little money should be spent

Zhang Binglin, Minister of Culture, also said: "At this time on October 1, many places are busy with the autumn harvest, why not wait until the end of the autumn harvest, when everyone is happier, and the celebration is more lively...... Zhang Madman is not only the Minister of Culture, but also the Minister of the Central Propaganda Department.

Of course, the senior biochemical people know why Wen Desi chose this time, but they can't directly say that our Chairman Wen is used to this time as the National Day, so he is too lazy to change it.

Foreign Minister Cavour coughed a few times and said, "Well, comrades. The date of the celebration has been communicated to the embassies of various countries, and preparations are already being made, and it would not be good to change it now" Comrade Cavour has been widely recognized for his outstanding performance in the act of amending the treaty and intimidating the Netherlands, although there are still a few people who still regret why he is not a "Chinese", but his post as foreign minister is already secure.

Well, Premier Zhang Lizheng, who was a good excuse to find, glanced at him with relief, and when the two of them met their eyes, they both showed knowing smiles.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the other cyborg executives also came forward to make excuses. Zhang Lizheng finally took out the prime minister's shelf and said solemnly: "Comrades, Chairman Wen has already said that Wuhan is only a temporary capital, so this celebration does not need to be too grand, just get the meaning." Besides, now that the country is in ruins, we should devote our energy to national construction rather than holding any celebrations. No matter how well the celebration is done, will it do the country any good for its prosperity and strength?"

Yuan Shikai, who was sitting to his left, smiled, he had long noticed the reaction of the high-ranking officials present, and it was obvious that several of Wen Dehei's hardcore descendants were supporting this time. With his sleekness, of course, it will not be against Yu.

So, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think what Chairman Wen means is that our national strength is not strong now, it is only barely recognized by all countries as a quasi-power, and the life of the people has not reached the level he hoped, so it is not the time to celebrate. Chairman Moon is a perfectionist, and he must want the country to do a better job, and it is not too late to come back to the big celebration. Besides, Wuchang is not a big place, and it is not easy to arrange a celebration that is too large......"

Zhang Lizheng immediately nodded and said: "Vice Premier Yuan is right, we still have a lot of work to do now, and it is not the time to celebrate." And Wuchang is indeed a little narrower here. When our new capital is built, there will definitely be a large-scale celebration, so this opening ceremony will be ...... as originally planned."

Zhang Lizheng is one of the first batch of high-level biochemical people. He was first as an assistant to Wen Desi, assisting him in managing the deputy general manager of Xingke Company. It's just that everyone paid attention to Wen Desi at that time, except for the internal, Zhang Lizheng had almost no sense of zài, and his reputation in the outside world was not as good as those active branch leaders, he was silently doing a good job of the role of a big housekeeper.

Later, the development and growth of Xingke Group is inseparable from his efforts and means, although Wen Desi is the number one, he is basically responsible for formulating policies and pointing out the big aspects. The specific internal operation of the enterprise and the coordination of various departments are basically Zhang Lizheng's responsibility. Therefore, after the establishment of the Southwest Autonomous Government, Wen Desi selected Zhang Lizheng as the premier of the Government Council, and now he has naturally become the premier of the State Council.
