Who is Duan Qirui? As soon as Yang Du finished speaking, he realized that this Yang Xizi hadn't talked about the topic for a long time and turned out to be waiting for him here.

Regarding Yang Du's words, Duan Qirui said it was not good to say yes, and it was not good not to say yes. He was surprised and could only smile awkwardly. From the bottom of his heart, he admired Yang Du's good intentions and secretly wondered how such a person could

He was not his confidant, but instead went to Fang Zida's side.

Duan Qirui didn't respond, and Yang Du didn't force it. Instead, he looked at the fields and said to himself: "The ancients have a saying, 'If you don't be a good prime minister, you will be a good doctor.' In fact, this truth is the same as what Brother Zhiquan just said.

The farming work is similar, but this morning

It is the scene in the pre-Qin period when neighboring countries looked at each other, heard the sounds of chickens and dogs, and people did not interact with each other until they died. The world is in an era of great changes unprecedented in thousands of years, and governing the country is no longer a simple matter of doing nothing or ruling by doing nothing.

It’s so simple to cut taxes and reduce taxes.”

Turning to look at Duan Qirui, Yang Du asked: "Brother Zhiquan should know about the changes in Tsarist Russia, right? Tsar Nicholas lost the support of the people because of his militarism and was ousted from the throne by the provisional government. The Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government through revolution and established it.

The Soviet regime came into being. Although I, Yang, do not agree with the Soviets very much, and those Bolsheviks are too extreme, I am afraid that there will be trouble in governing the country.

It was a bloody storm. However, Yang was not talented, and he knew a thing or two about the doctrines that the Bolsheviks believed in. They had also read "Das Kapital", which they regarded as a classic. Marx was unqualified as an economist.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have relied on people’s aid to survive after investing in bankruptcy, but some of the contents in his book are worth learning from, especially the somewhat in-depth analysis of capitalist countries.”

Duan Qirui didn't understand why Yang Du kept talking about Soviet Russia? And he also talked about Marx. Although Duan Qirui knew these things, he was not very interested in studying them due to his current status, and it was not easy to comment.

Instead, he just listened quietly to what Yang Du said.

Yang Du's thinking jumped quickly and he talked a few words about Marx. He also talked about the domestic current situation. He pointed out that China has experienced thousands of years of feudal society, and the emperor's superior system was not replaced by today's constitutional government until the Republic of China. Compared with Western countries,

For example, China's democratic system has just begun. Due to various reasons, this road is not so easy. How to govern the country and how to bring such a big country out of the quagmire onto the road of development, so that China, which has been lagging behind for half a year, can once again

Becoming a giant in the East does not just rely on a few people

, as simple as a few guns. A country has a national system and a national law. This is just like a doctor who treats illnesses and saves lives. Ordinary doctors treat headaches, treat headaches, and heal feet. Although it seems good, in fact, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

.If he is a famous doctor, he will learn from his patients

If the disease is serious and can be eliminated, it will be much better to do so. As for farming, the same is true. Weeds are like people. This society is formed by people. If you want to grow good crops, you must remove the weeds. Otherwise, the weeds will grow longer.

The more prosperous the crops become, the more they grow. In the end, the crops will yield nothing.

In Yang Du's words, not a single word was mentioned about Fang Zida, nor was there a single sentence about what happened some time ago. He was just talking in general terms, and all he talked about were philosophical things. But in Duan Qirui's ears,

As he listened, he gradually began to think deeply. He frowned slightly while drinking tea and did not speak for a long time.

"Everyone grows his own crops. Maybe other people's crops are better than yours. You can't force others to learn to grow their own crops in the same way as you, right? Isn't this forcing others to do so?"

Duan Qirui asked quietly, and Yang Du smiled and said: "This is natural. If the crops planted by others are not rented from me, I don't care how they plant them? But what if this person obviously doesn't know how to plant crops?

Planting blindly, wasting land and seeds, knowing full well

If this continues, there will definitely be no harvest in the autumn harvest. How can I sit still in this situation? You must know that without the harvest, not only the farmers will starve to death, but even the landlords will have no surplus food! What if it happens again?

It’s a disaster or something, why don’t we all finish it together?”

"Then how do you know that you are right, Xizi? Isn't this a bit overbearing?"

"Haha, being right is not something you say, but something you do. Who can stabilize society, develop the country, and allow people to eat and live a stable life? These are the benchmarks for measuring whether a person is right or not.

I think back when the Republic of China was first founded, the former president had to resort to banking groups from various countries for tens of millions of funds. He was criticized by the people and tried hard to keep the country running and prevent financial collapse. Although all regions were unified in name, they

In fact, there are many factions, and the central government's decrees are of no great use except in the areas controlled by the former president. Those people support their own troops and act like a separatist regime. The country is almost torn apart. There are powerful enemies outside and internal instability. Sun Wen

It is really difficult for people to wait and see with their eyes on the land of China! But so what now? I think Brother Zhiquan can also see that the changes in this country are completely different from those a few years ago. Doesn't this prove it?"

Duan Qirui poured himself another cup of tea, shook his head and said: "What Xizi said seems to make sense, but you just mentioned before that in the early days of the Republic of China, various factions supported their own troops, which was like a separatist regime. But now, although the national army has been reorganized

The National Defense Force is nominally controlled by the state, but if the government wants to use part of the army to implement the system through decrees, but it encounters opposition, what is the difference between this and the original warlords?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Yang Du replied without hesitation: "What is a warlord? Only those who separate one side and form their own factions of soldiers or military groups against the central government for their own selfish interests are warlords. But now Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Shanghai

, the troops in northern Zhejiang and other places are warlords? If you want to put it this way, I am afraid that the national defense forces across the country are warlords. Brother Zhiquan was the Minister of Defense. During the Sino-Japanese War, Brother Zhiquan also personally arranged

When the troops are deployed, if it is too late for the warlords to preserve their strength, how can they die for the country like they did back then? How about fighting bravely? Of course, having said that, society is made up of people, and so is the army. As long as there are people, there will be factions. Factions have been around since ancient times.

Yes, wherever there are people, there is politics. No one can deny this, right? Otherwise, the Republic of China would not be a constitutional country, and there would be no opposition in this Congress."

With an angry expression on his face, Yang Du added: "If we say that the system implemented by the decree is selfless and a good thing, even if individuals suffer some grievances, then that's it. But some things are not that simple at all. Under the banner of righteousness, it is actually done

How can you convince people if you are doing such a shameful thing? Brother Zhiquan is a former

The Minister of Defense should be clear about the consequences of reducing the most combat-effective troops in today's world situation. What's more, now is not the stage to fully implement the reserve system. According to the original plan, at least until the end of the European war

Proceed slowly, Brother Zhiquan can’t deny this, right?”

Duan Qirui laughed, although he also felt that now is not the best time to implement the reserve system, and even if it is implemented, it should be carried out gradually in a small area, and should not start with the elite soldiers of the Fang Zida faction. Not only is there no benefit to this, On the contrary, it will weaken the strength of the National Defense Force. You must know that among the National Defense Forces, the armies of Shandong and Jiangsu are the most elite troops. How can you attack the elite troops and leave the second-rate troops untouched?

To be honest, Duan Qirui is opposed to this kind of proposal in his heart. However, there are many conflicts between him and Fang Zida, which cannot be eliminated in just one or two sentences. If Duan Qirui declares his support for Fang Zida, it is absolutely impossible for him to make this proposal. Mouth, otherwise where would his face be?

"Brother Zhiquan has always been known for his uprightness. Yang did not want Brother Zhiquan to do anything to wave the flag, but just asked Brother Zhiquan to think about the country, say a few words and do what should be done. You must know that once this decree is implemented, it will cause waves, which will not be a good thing for the country or the army. As for what Yang said today, I hope Brother Zhiquan will think twice!"

Listening to Yang Du's words, Duan Qirui's face was filled with uncertainty, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a long time, when he looked up, Yang Du had quietly left.
