Chapter 245 Zhongyuan Festival Ghost
Zhongyuan Festival.
Zijin Mountain is green all over the mountains, the flowers are blooming, the sun is warm, the air is fresh and sweet, and the chirping of birds comes from time to time in the forest. All this seems so vivid, so harmonious and so poetic.
After worshipping the Taizu Mausoleum and going to the Zijinshan Zhonglie Temple under construction, Chen Moran did not directly return to the ruling axe in the city, but excitedly scattered in the woods next to the Zhonglie Temple construction site with Liang Dunyan.
Zijin Mountain Zhonglie Temple is built on the mountain, facing north and south, at the front of the hill, facing behind the barrier, magnificent and magnificent. This is a loyal ancestral temple built for the soldiers who died in the restoration army. At this time, the Lingyan Pavilion, as the main building of the Zhonglie Ancestral Temple, has not yet taken shape, and the stairs to the mountain are also under construction. However, at this time, some ashes of the Guangfu officers and soldiers have entered the Zhonglie Ancestral Temple Cemetery.
There may be no leisure in the mausoleum, but Chen Moran, who walks in the forest, enjoys the fresh air and the singing of birds in the forest very much.
"Song Sheng, do you know that I said something when I got on the boat to Nanjing after the uprising?"
"In power, I once listened to the Minister of Management and others to go to Beijing to take the exam."
"Yes, I hope to get a good score."
Taking a deep breath of the cigar, Chen Moran frowned slightly.
"This good achievement, on the one hand, is certainly that we want to establish a stable regime, but on the other hand, it requires the people to recognize us. What is the difference between the national political axe and the political axe of the Qing Dynasty? It's not as simple as changing the owner of grain and tax!"
Chen Moran said thoughtfully, while Liang Dunyan nodded and said yes.
"The reduction and exemption of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, in the eyes of many old people, this is the necessity of the new dynasty, which has been the case in all dynasties, and there is even a three-year exemption from donation!"
"Governing, that's just the words of the elders. They are looking for bones in the eggs!"
"Hmm! However, we took back the right of way, but the whole country cheered. Although some people have some accusations about the use of foreign funds, the facts are there. The full text of the railway new contract newspaper has been published. The right of the road is in my hands, but it's just to borrow some money to build the road! It can be seen that for Chinese citizens, the biggest difference between the new dynasty and the old dynasty is the maintenance of state power"
When Liang Dunyan nodded and said yes, Chen Moran said earnestly.
"Songsheng, make a new contract to meet the requirements of the current situation. There is no way to slow down. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should step up its work!"
Recently, the ruling axe has been indulging and guiding public opinion, taking advantage of the opportunity of the right to recover the road to talk about the necessary surnames for the revision of unequal treaties. For the ruling axe, the most important diplomatic problem now is, on the one hand, whether the countries recognize Nanjing or not, but on the other hand, the powers are willing to Willing to adapt to the changes in China's situation, whether to continue to treat China with old thinking and old ways. It is also because of this that it is necessary to launch a "national diplomacy" centered on the revision of unequal treaties, and to mobilize national diplomacy to achieve the ultimate goal of revising the new covenant.
"In power, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has divided the privileges of the great powers in China into five categories, and is scheduled to carry out ethnic diplomacy in five phases. The first phase restores tariff autonomy; the second phase cancels extraterritorial rights; the third phase recovers the concession; the fourth phase recovers the leased land; the fifth phase recovers inland river navigation rights, coastal trade rights, etc.
When Liang Dunyan spoke, Chen Moran listened attentively and nodded his head, which meant him.
"The reason why restoring tariff autonomy is the first step in national diplomacy is that the current agreed tariffs not only damage China's sovereignty, but also have a direct constraint on the entire Chinese economy. Solving this problem is not only of political significance, but also of great economic benefits. It is not only conducive to the revitalization of China's national economy, but also to the improvement of governance and finances in difficulties. To fix the new contract, when tariffs are put first, China's agreed tariffs have now not only failed to protect itself, but also to protect the enemy. It's like digging a trench. Not only can't it be used to fight the enemy, but it has to be beaten by the enemy, so it's necessary to tariff autonomy!"
After a moment of meditation, Liang Dunyan continued.
"In addition, although the national political axe has been recognized now, the United Kingdom, the United States, Austria and other countries are still in the semi-recognition. For them, the recognition of the national regime may not be until after the official establishment of the political axe, and the anxiety of "legal surname of the regime" occupies the center of thinking of people inside and outside the political axe. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thought that it was "revised" The name of the New Testament can be recognized in disguise by the West.
When he mentioned the legal surname, Chen Moran's face showed a contemptuous smile, and these people always paid attention to the details.
"The legal surname is secondary. If they don't recognize us, they won't sell us machines or trade with us? I have never considered this issue, as long as the people recognize us. As for them, although they are not paper tigers, this tiger is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
At this time, Chen Moran stretched out his left hand and counted with his right hand:
"Let's take a look at what we have done recently. In Yanling, Jiangxi Province, there is a summer resort for outsiders, which was originally privately rented, but foreigners themselves organize administrative agencies, Yanling's office, and set up patrols here. For a long time, this summer resort has become a concession. After the restoration of Jiangxi, we sent troops in, and then set fire to the Lushan Police Station. At this time, we took over. As a result, the British consul tentatively protested. We gave a tough rebuttal, and finally, the non-concession of the concession in Yanling was also taken back. So far, it has not been seen that those great powers have the intention to interfere. Occasionally, they should be bolder. Don't just care about friendly countries. Compared with the so-called friendly countries, we should be more concerned about the people!"
Perhaps it is the reality of the restoration of the whole country, which makes Chen Moran become a little proud now. He took a sip and said slowly.
"Of course, this meal should be eaten in one bite, and the steps are suddenly bigger. On the contrary, I don't know what will happen!"
Although he is a little complacent, it doesn't mean that Chen Moran's mind is hot.
"The ruling axe, together with the Ministry of Finance, has drawn up a new tariff. We won't touch him for the time being, but the ruling axe has decided to impose a surcharge in addition to the positive tax. The additional tax is divided into 7 levels, from 4.5% to 24.5%!"
The words of the rule shocked Liang Dunyan. He had already heard about the imposition of additional taxes in addition to tariffs, but the people who increased taxes were beyond his expectations. He could fully imagine that after the introduction of this additional tax, the minister of various countries would definitely protest and oppose it.
"It's almost the same as governing, adding additional taxes without permission, and modifying tariffs. I'm afraid that the Peiping diplomatic mission will unanimously oppose it!"
"Whether they oppose or have a tough attitude, what we have to do is tit-for-tat. We must show them our attitude. If they insist on obstructing, tell them that even if they break up, they will not hesitate. This is the first step!"
After a little meditation, Liang Dunyan asked a question.
"Governing, you mean to negotiate with countries to cancel the agreed tariffs in the name of additional taxes to achieve tariff autonomy!"
"Additional tax is just an attitude. Commodities without additional tax are not allowed to leave the port. The customs is not under our control, but the port is under our control. The teams of tax police in various places have been set up to let the tax police enter the ports and customs. If there is insufficient manpower, they will be transferred from the restoration army!"
While Chen Moran said this proudly, Liang Dunyan kept thinking about the possible surname of the success of this matter. Is it possible that the Chinese powers will not intervene by force?
"Shengsheng, are you worried about military intervention?"
Liang Dunyan did not immediately express his position. When he was worried about military intervention, he began to weigh the current international situation and the secret talks to be held in the last two days.
"It's inevitable that there will always be some worries!"
"I'm also a little worried, but if it's because of worry, we won't do it. I'm afraid you and I are all national sinners!"
A hat was sent out in one sentence, and the same Chen Moran added a high hat to his head.
"After the introduction of tariffs and surcharges, we will definitely face the pressure from the Peiping Public Mission. At that time, even if countries do not force intervene or threaten by force, I'm afraid we will have to face a new diplomatic impasse. The diplomatic way is actually a vertical and balanced. The great powers have taken a good lead in our diplomatic blockade, although Some people think that the great powers have not recognized us, and we do not have legal surnames, but in fact, for now, we and other countries are in a disguised recognition!"
After throwing the cigarette butt under his feet and stepping on it, he carefully kicked a little dirt to cover the cigarette butt, and Chen Moran continued to speak.
"If it hadn't been admitted, would Britain have sold two battleships to us? Will the United States agree to export more than 20 million military machines? No, for countries, their hesitation is for the benefit on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is because we are still a transitional temporary regime.
"The government is now restored by the whole country. In fact, a referendum should be held early to establish a complete central political axe. Only in this way can we break the diplomatic deadlock, and we can also avoid many unnecessary diplomatic troubles!"
"This is not enough!"
When he waved his hand, Chen Moran refused his proposal first. Now, compared with the emperor, Chen Moran is more obsessed with this ruling position of monopolized power, which is monopolized national power.
"The last time we broke the diplomatic deadlock with each other, this time it was the same!"
In connection with the recent talks, Liang Dunyan instantly understood the meaning of governance.
"Governing, you mean..."
"I mean to break them one by one, but this time is different from the last time. It can be said that this time, the last thing I don't want to see our tariff autonomy is this Japanese book that shouts the country of brothers, but... Soong Sheng, if you want to open up the situation, you really have to do it on them. "Zhang!"
With a grin, Chen Moran's eyes flashed with a look of calculating others. At this time, he was confident enough to say that he had used his own condom, and now he had sent himself to this condom, just waiting for him to ask for it.
