"That being the case, but should we compromise like this? I think that Wang Xuan will definitely not be willing to give up the attack like this. ”

Su Quan interjected.

He is Su Lan's cousin, with the help of the power of the Su family, he naturally stepped into the council hall, and after Su Lan was kicked out because of the Qingyun Gang for a while, he replaced Su Lan and became the representative of the Su family in the council hall.

Ling Fei replied, "Indeed. Usually, we are too passive, always waiting for the other party to attack, and then we want to deal with it. This does need to change. ”

From the very beginning, the establishment of the Kuomintang seems to have had the shadow of coercion by the Kuomintang, which can be seen from the beginning of the opening of the acreage restriction bill.

"And what are you going to do?" Su Quan's eyes frowned slightly, looking at each other deadly.

After decades of development, the council hall has undergone great changes, no longer the original body that recommended and asked questions, but has transformed into a more important body, and can even affect the whole world.

It is also because of this that they have also diverted their energies from the traditional government and invested in this council in order to benefit from it.

The so-called struggle is nothing but based on the need for profit, and it has been the case since ancient times.

Ling Fei felt nervous for a moment, carefully considered his words, and then replied: "Actually, I have been thinking about one thing all along, that is, what is the purpose of our establishment of the Kuomintang Party?"

These days, Ling Fei has been thinking about this issue, especially after Su Lan fell from power, he has been sleepless day and night, and has been thinking about the development of the Kuomintang in the future.

"What else? Of course, to protect our interests and confront the Nakdang. Wang Cai interjected.

Although he agreed to improve the treatment of workers, he was not willing, so he became suspicious of the Kuomintang and Ling Fei, and even had the intention of leaving for a while.

But Wang Cai also knew that if he did not have the protection of the Kuomintang, he would definitely be eaten alive by those Kuomintang.

Seeing Wang Cai's unenterprising performance, Ling Fei's eyes showed a trace of anger, and he shouted in a low voice, "What about the other than that?"

"What else are you trying to say?" Su Quan asked.

"As you know, the People's Party has been established since the beginning on the grounds that the people are asking for their lives. It is precisely because of this that they prevented the abolition of the land restriction bill, and even promoted the establishment of the Weaver Girl Act. That's why many parliamentarians would approve of them. Ling Fei explained slowly, as if this was also the reason why the KMT would be invincible.

Su Quan said: "So you want to say, we also have to have a charter?"

"Naturally. Since we call it the Kuomintang Party, we should naturally take the country's social affairs as the foundation, and if we deviate from this point, we will naturally be unable to do anything. So I would like to ask you, what do you think is good for the country?" Ling Fei asked.

Su Quan was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice, "Railway?"

"That's right, it's the railroad. Ling Fei nodded and replied.

"If it's a railway, what are we going to do to get the support of everyone?" The rest of the parliamentarians were also thoughtful and showed some anticipation.

At the beginning, they thought that this railway was just a conjecture of the lord and a thing not worth mentioning, but after more than ten years of construction and the railway connected various places in Guanzhong, the whole Guanzhong began to have different changes.

Not to mention the prosperity of Chang'an, with a population of up to one million, it has become the only super city in the world.

And the resources of various regions have also been circulated because of the railway, and they have bloomed with a different style, without the twilight of the past, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and every three or five years, it will produce a look.

Ling Fei smiled, "It's very simple. You should also know that in order to build this railway, our dynasty has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and even gave up the opportunity to master Sichuan and Shu for this reason, just to build this railway. But do you know who built the railroad for that long time?"

"You mean the prisoners of war?"

One of them whispered with a hint of apprehension.

For these prisoners of war, they have always had a different mindset and have always treated them in a discriminatory manner.

"That's right. Without these prisoners of war, we would not have been able to build such a long railway. Ling Fei nodded and replied, "So I think maybe we should help them get rid of their status as prisoners of war and regain their freedom." ”

"But, is it possible?" Su Quan asked again.

As for those prisoners of war, it was Xiao Feng's personal order, and it was undoubtedly a provocation to do this kind of thing without Xiao Feng's permission.

Ling Fei replied: "Why can't those people use their own hands and feet to build such a long railway for us, why not give them freedom? Is it difficult to really let these people work until they die? In this case, how can it conform to the way of Confucius and Mencius?"

"Even so, they used to be criminals, and even if they were free, they couldn't be released so easily, otherwise they would probably impact the social order. Su Quan persuaded again.

Ling Fei replied, "Of course I know. So I was going to set up a special railroad gang to take in these prisoners of war. One is to give these prisoners of war a place to go, and the other is to build a railroad in the name of this company to expand our influence. ”

"Is this possible?" Su Quan was a little nervous.

The construction of a railway costs a lot of money, and it has always been invested by the government, and there were so many opponents at the beginning, of course, they were also suppressed by Xiao Feng, and it was only after discovering the advantages of the railway that those people changed their minds.

Ling Fei smiled: "Of course it is possible. And you've seen the beauty of the railway, which will surely become popular in the future. The most important thing is that the ambition of the lord is not limited to Guanzhong, and there will definitely be the possibility of entering the Central Plains and dominating the world in the future. When the time comes, we can also build railways all over the country. Can you imagine what it would be like if all the railways in China were built by us?"

"If that's the case, it's hard to imagine. ”

When the group heard this, they were naturally excited.

They also have an understanding of the railways built by the Chifeng Army, just one railway, which has brought hundreds of thousands of yuan in income, is simply a cornucopia of automatic wealth.

"The most important thing is that if you want to build a railway, you need not only a lot of workers, but also a lot of tracks and trains. These rails and trains naturally need workers to make them, the steel that makes them also needs workers, and the ore used for smelting also needs workers to mine them. How many workers do you think it will take to build a railway that covers the whole of China?"

Ling Fei's words were full of bewitchment, making everyone immersed in them.

Su Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied in a low voice: "At least 10 million people." ”

Just in the Guanzhong area, in order to be able to build a railway covering the entire Guanzhong, at least a million people were mobilized to succeed, and this basically accounted for one-tenth of the labor force of the Red Phoenix Army.

In this regard, they really can't imagine what it would be like if tens of millions of people were engaged in this industry.

Ling Fei said, "That's right. If we can control such a force, we will naturally be able to confront the People's Party. And that Wang Xuan is naturally not as arrogant as before. ”

"Oh, what do you think we should do?"

The group looked at Ling Fei with great excitement, wanting to know what the other party was going to do.

Ling Fei replied: "Of course, if you want to win their support, it will not be an overnight thing, and it will definitely take a lot of effort. Therefore, I think that the first thing that should be done is to amend the imperial examination law so that these people can also step into the government and the parliament. ”

"Is this possible?"

Su Quan hesitated slightly, and the rest of the people were also a little worried.

The Red Fengjun followed the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty, of course, weakened the assessment scope of physical science, and added some more mathematics and gewu content, but unfortunately in addition to these added knowledge, the rest is still the knowledge of this era.

Xiao Feng thought that he was not a corresponding expert, so he naturally did not dare to change the method of the imperial examination without authorization, so as not to be opposed.

"They have worked hard for the prosperity of our dynasty, so why can't they open the door for them?"

Ling Fei said with a smile: "In normal times, if you want to be an official, you have to pass various scriptures and scientific assessments, otherwise you will definitely not be able to confer fame." Therefore, I think that we should repeal this bill, such as the abolition of scriptures and poetry, and change them from compulsory to elective, so that they can also step into this glorious door. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt a little unacceptable.

They also came here with thousands of troops at the beginning, and naturally they also understood the difficulty of this imperial examination, but now they want to reduce the difficulty of it, which is really unacceptable.

Ling Fei said, "I know you have some doubts, but you don't want to think about it, if it weren't for their efforts, how could you have today's prosperous world?

Compared with those students who are out of work, these people are not without people who want to enter the career through learning.

However, due to environmental factors, they always have to work all the time, otherwise they will not be able to make a living, and because of environmental factors, they will not be able to receive a good education.

Most of the people who are willing to step into the factory are poor children, how can they be compared with those rich children?

"Of course, that's not enough, the most important thing is that I plan to open a new school to recruit these students. Ling Fei complained again.

Su Quan asked, "Is it the same as that Chongwen Academy?"

Although it experienced the turmoil of student riots, Chongwen Academy stood tall, and the Kuomintang was able to get the support of so many people thanks to the support of Chongwen Academy.

"Naturally. ”

Ling Fei closed his head and replied, "Only in this way can we cultivate talents who support us, so that we will not be defeated by that Wang Xuan repeatedly." As for this academy, I'm going to name it the Truth Academy, what do you think?"

"Naturally. ”

Everyone naturally understands the power of the academy, and in addition, their industry also needs a large number of talents, so they naturally will not object.

Of course, Ling Fei was also secretly nervous in his heart, thinking, "Of course. It is not easy to accomplish this, but I am afraid that I still have to deal with the tenant system. However, in this case, the Kuomintang is afraid that it will not be able to give up. ”
