ideal era

50 several winds and rains 1

A trace of morning sun fell on the window sill. Last night, the clouds dispersed, and today is another good day. There is a desk, a large bed and no more sundries in the room. Li wanted to lie down, with his eyes wide open, looking at the light curtain in a daze. Outside the door, Tang Yuewan knocked on the door for a while, but Li Xiang just didn't want to get up. He was lazy and hadn't slept for a while in the past few days. In the modern workplace, at most, I am tired in my heart, but when I travel here, I have always been physically and mentally exhausted, but I am happy in it.

Tang Yuewan is really persistent and wants to knock on the door? Li wanted to stretch his waist happily and said, "Ah... I'm coming."

Li wanted to put on his clothes at the speed of a firefighter, opened the door, and saw Tang Yue standing at the door, as charming as the morning and autumn behind her. Li wanted to stare at her fiercely with a pair of eyes, and I didn't know whether she was angry that she couldn't make it last night, or whether she was angry that she disturbed the spring dream this morning?

Tang Yue smiled like a flower and said, "Marshal..."

Li wanted to wave his hand to interrupt, and walked to the Yanyu building without looking back. "Prepare breakfast for me and send it to my office. No matter what is important, let's talk about it when you get to the office."

Tang Yuewan's voice came from behind, "Your collar has turned over, and you haven't brushed your teeth and washed your face yet. In this way, I will have breakfast, which is very unhygienic.

Li Xiang was hit on the waist by Tang Yowan's words and almost fell down. Send all the toiletries to the office.

Li wanted to sort out the leader and hurried to the office.

Li wanted to take the handkerchief handed over by Tang Yuewan and wiped the corners of his mouth. After having a full breakfast, he was really energetic. Tang Yuewan was used to being a young lady. He was very good at calling people and commanded a few pawns to clean up the garbage made by Li Xiang in the office. Being served like this, Li Xiang felt uncomfortable all over. This is simply the corrupt life of the landlord's old wealth.

"It's quite troublesome to eat like this. You can still eat it with everyone in the future. Who is in charge of the food at the headquarters? Is there something wrong with the accommodation? Lixiang's shopkeeper can't be too lazy. After throwing them into Liu Yuan, he let them go. Now that I think about it, the officers and civilian personnel at the headquarters came to Hankou with empty hands. After entering Liu Yuan, he did not ask about food and accommodation. Although I know that these subordinates have their own ways, they should also ask and show their concern to the comrades.

Tang Yuewan poured a cup of tea for Li Xiang after dinner and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Xiang. Don't worry, this is all managed by housekeeper Liu. In addition, Liu Xinsheng has moved out of Liu Yuan this morning. He said that Liu Yuan is now the military and political branch of Hankou. He is not suitable to live here. The housekeeper will keep all the people for you. Whether you want to continue to stay or dismiss him, it's all up to you.

Li Xiangqian took a sip of tea, and it was a little hot. Liu Xinsheng is like this. He is careful to do things. There are too many robes in the old club. How many of them can get to his position? He actually gave it to me, so I took it. Liu Yuan is just one of his villas. He still has several such mansions. As for the people he left behind, they definitely can't be used anymore, and all of them have been dismissed. Last night, there was a leakage of military information, and the revolutionary army almost lost a strategic location. The remnants of the revolutionary army were hidden inside, not to mention these people.

"Who leaked the military information?" Tang Yuewan was a little curious. She had been with Li Xiang last night. Why didn't she know?

"If Xia Zhankui hadn't mastered the internal intelligence of the revolutionary army, he would not have rushed straight to the three bridges, unless he was really Zhuge Wuhou's reincarnation." Zeng Gao and others should have seen this matter, but they don't know what good way they have to find out the cancer disguised in the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army was initially built, and it was also adapted from the former Hubei New Army, which is inevitable. Li was so distracted that he couldn't even open his eyebrows. There were so many troubles to win the three bridges.

Although Tang Yuewan was not interested in the military, Li Xiang understood as soon as she said it. She smiled and said, "This time you are on your nerves."

There are a lot of trivial things that make Li Xiang have a headache, so let's do it one by one. Go and tell Tie Gongqi to take over Liu Yuan, dismiss the employing, and rearrange the manpower. Tell all the departments again and ask them to choose a small courtyard in Liuyuan to list, and they don't have to squeeze them all in the misty rain building. Then ask Feng Xiaoyu and Zeng Gao to come up. I have a task for them.

After Tang Yuewan left, Feng Xiaoyu came up soon.

"The migrant workers at Liujiamiao Station were not frightened last night, were they?" Before Feng Xiaoqi sat down, Li Xiang asked first.

Feng Xiaoyu sat down and said, "After dawn, I went to Liujiamiao Station. Fortunately, I was not affected by the war. The migrant workers are very enthusiastic about their work, and the project plan is to allow the train to enter the station and open to traffic in a week. However, the warehouse and various buildings at Liujiamiao Station are expected to take two months to complete.

The train is connected, which is also conducive to Li Xiang's deployment of troops. As for the enthusiasm of migrant workers, it is certain that the wages and benefits he offers are no different from the treatment of workers in modern developed capitalist countries.

Feng Xiaoqi is a little puzzled by Li Xiang's behavior of spending money indiscriminately. The salary is far higher than the current domestic level, and even surpasses that of Europe and the United States. Marshal, in fact, the salaries of employees in the companies and factories under Xinhua Yanghang are really too high, which increases the cost burden of Xinhua. In this chaotic world, as long as the salary we offer is maintained at the middle level of the country, and we never default on wages, such a job can already make people grab their heads. Lowering the salary can increase a lot of profits.

Hearing Feng Xiaoyu's question, Li Xiang laughed and pulled out a pack of Pegasus cigarettes produced by Nanyang Tobacco Company from the coffee table. The spokesperson of this brand of cigarettes was Huadan Monroe, the head of Liu's Film Company. After Li wanted to tear it apart, he pulled out one and threw it to Feng Xiaoyu. Li wanted to take a deep breath after lighting it and comfortably sink into the sofa. Cigarettes in this era are far from white, but some are better than none.

After lighting it, Feng Xiaoqi took two sips, and then waited for Li Xiang's next sentence. He held a notepad in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand and a pen.

Li wanted to spit out the smoke slowly and said, "This is called relative surplus value. My cost has increased, the efficiency of employees has also increased, and the profit has also increased, compared with the profit margin before the cost increase.

Li still doesn't understand if he wants to see Feng Xiaoyu. He can't be blamed. The times are limited. Even in modern times, many people have the same cognition as Feng Xiaoyu. For this powerful subordinate, Li Xiang still explained patiently. For example, I invested ten yuan and made a net profit of five yuan a month later. I increased the investment cost and invested 20 yuan. After a month, the net profit was 12 yuan. What kind of investment do you think is more cost-effective?

"I understand a little bit. This is the profit margin." Feng Xiaoqi nodded. If it was Tie Gongqi, he would definitely understand as soon as he heard it.

"If you don't talk about gossip, it's still a business. You have to work hard to develop the world association in the revolutionary army, and clean up those literary societies, joint meetings, and alliance meetings for me. The army needs to unify its thinking and eliminate internal traitors. This can't be done too much. If there is conclusive evidence, arrest the people's public trial; just skeptical, let the army keep a close eye on it. Lixiang was also very entangled. After a rectification campaign, it was inevitable that he would hurt his vitality, and it was also at the time when the Beiyang army went south. If it's not done, the Sandaoqiao incident will be done twice, and Hankou will definitely not be safe. Li Xiang had to keep an eye on this matter himself, and he repeatedly told him, "All of this should be premised on stabilizing the morale of the army."

"I understand." Feng Xiaoji kept nodding. If he can't do this well, he will disperse the army and demorale. If he doesn't do it, it will only leave greater hidden dangers.

"Also, the newly opened People's Daily should fully support it. Even if there is a loss, it will not hesitate to lead the trend of Chinese public opinion." The People's Daily was born, but even the Forbidden City was shocked, but it assassinated several princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty. But to lead the Chinese trend, you really won't be able to do Taoism for a while. Li Xiang is a little too greedy.

"Today, a new newspaper hall opened in Hankou, and Mr. Hu Shi'an pioneered the Dahan Daily to advocate revolution." When Li wanted to talk about the newspaper, Feng Xiaoqi suddenly heard this matter.

In this era, it is very casual to open a newspaper hall. Anyone who wants to open it can open it. When Lixiang heard that there was a newspaper hall opening in Hankou, he immediately sweated in his heart. This wind should not rise, especially in his own territory. The opening of the newspaper also needs to be regulated by legislation, otherwise it will add a lot of resistance to our revolutionary cause. When you go back, you will make a "Regulations on the Administration of Cultural Communication". I don't care about other people's territory, but I have to listen to me in my territory.

"Open the text prison?" Feng Xiaoqi really dares to say.

Feng Xiaoqi asked, and the old smoker Li Xiang was staggered by Yan. "It's not so serious. Those who are unwilling to accept my revolutionary ideas are all expelled from the country. I have no obligation and have no reason to protect those who oppose my revolutionary ideas. This is a very special time, and they can't help but make me sick here.

Such a style is also a Western-style democracy, and Feng Xiaoyu has no objection.

"Also, you should speed up the work of the National People's Congress. You should do it vigorously. The People's Daily should also be in place to publicize and turn the National People's Congress into a model of national democracy. To give power to the people is democracy. This regime is for them to discuss, whatever they want. Li Xiang can't let people say that he is a dictatorship. He has no end like Lao Jiang. Anyway, the power is in his hands, and the world is not in his hands.

"There is also a clause added to the new "Tax Law" formulated by reference to Western laws, which is conditionally exempted from agricultural tax. Less than five mu per capita shall be exempted from agricultural tax; if large landlords are willing to reduce rent by two or five, the maximum rent shall not exceed 40%, and all additional burdens other than the leased land shall be eliminated, such as grain, land, land allocation, gifts, etc. The salary of long-term and short-term workers meets the minimum wage standard set by the Hankou Military Government, and can also be exempted from agricultural tax. " This agricultural tax is a little chicken, and some big landlords are difficult to collect. If you really want to collect it, it may be a bloody conflict. Li wants to be distressed and throw it away. The biggest contradiction between the gentry and the people is caused by tax. With this notice, it will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people. If the big landlord really doesn't follow the regulations, Li Xiang dares to confiscate his property. He really hopes that there will be more big landlords like this.

Feng Xiaozhen has long heard that Li wants to be exempted from agricultural tax, but he didn't expect that he was in a hurry to implement it so soon. Now, despite the support of Xinhua Yangxing, the finance is still not abundant. However, the tax exemption notice can certainly immediately unite the hearts of the people of Hubei Province to fight against the strong Beiyang army. In order to preserve the hard-won benefits, these ordinary people in Hubei will naturally support the revolutionary army. Only when Li Xiang's revolutionary army is there can they pay tax and reduce rent. As soon as the Beiyang Army comes, they will continue to live a poor life than death. Because of this, these people in Hubei have a huge motivation to participate in the revolutionary army and protect Hubei's resistance to the Beiyang army.
