The plane flew from Beijing to Zhengzhou. Shen Xin suddenly recalled the leak incident after Ruan Xihao attacked Beijing. Since then, the Liberation Army had finally caught the leak as a major event. The secrecy work was gradually on track.
But this time, would Shen Xin's trip to Zhengzhou be known by people who shouldn't know? Shen Xin didn't have confidence. More importantly, Military Governor Vaize also boarded a plane from Nanjing to Zhengzhou at this time. The two soldiers with great power in the Min dynasty were about to meet. If someone knew about this and publicized it … it probably wouldn't be a good thing at this time when the situation was getting worse.
These were the screws that were usually loose. When this matter is completed, I will work hard to tighten the screws. Shen Xin couldn't help but say to himself. But could things really calm down so quickly? Shen Xin couldn't believe it for a moment. The Min dynasty had faced many enemies, from Manchu Qing with millions of soldiers to the United States with tens of millions of people. Those enemies could make Shen Xin feel tricky, but they couldn't make Shen Xin feel fear.
However, when millions of people were involved in the struggle against the country, and hundreds of millions of people watched the struggle indifferently, Shen Xin couldn't help but feel fear. When the solid ground under their feet began to shake, no one could remain calm.
When Shen Xin landed at the Zhengzhou military airport, when Shen Xin saw the white-haired Vézé striding over with a calm pace, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes. Almost everyone was used to not seeing Vézé in the political core, and almost everyone in the political core was used to facing a world that seemed to have no Vézé. However, when he saw Vézé, Shen Xin suddenly felt a familiar feeling, a feeling that made people feel at ease.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, you've gained weight." Vézé looked Shen Xin up and down and couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Commander-in-chief … you're still the same as before." Shen Xin replied with a stutter.
"Shen Xin, do you know? There were also several types of fat. One type was called overwork fat. When the psychological pressure is too great, they will want to rely on eating to relieve the pressure … "
Just like before, Vézé could not help but reason. Shen Xin couldn't help but interrupt with a wry smile, "Commander-in-chief, you lived a carefree life in Nanjing. With so many things piled up together, I really don't have the mind to think about whether I'm fat or thin."
"Since you've encountered so many things, have you gained anything?" Vézé and Shen Xin walked side by side on the airport apron. The airport staff had already received orders not to take off or land other planes for the entire day, so there were not many people on the spacious field. Under the early summer sun, it felt quite comfortable.
"Harvest? Haha, Commander-in-Chief, you still like to joke, "Shen Xin replied with a hollow laugh.
"Shen Xin, my daughter loves to dress up. When she saw the beautiful dress on the mannequin, she was shocked and bought it. Later, she complained to me, but when she wore it, she found that it was not what she wanted. The dress was indeed the same dress, but after wearing it, she did not look better. I asked her, why did she have to buy this dress at that time? Then, my daughter suddenly realized that it was actually because the mannequin looked good in it! But she didn't realize that the model didn't look good because she wore the dress. On the contrary, the dress became more dazzling because it was worn by the model. "Wei Ze said slowly, as if he was talking about something common.
Although Shen Xin's heart did not resonate, listening to Vézé's words and feeling the feeling of being with Vézé before, he calmed down a lot.
"My third son is engaged in scientific research and usually does not like to move. As a result, he became fat. Joggers, he thought, were dry and pathetic; bodybuilders, broad-shouldered and silly-looking; players, sweaty and prone to injury. Finally, he decided to practice swimming because swimmers are well-proportioned and beautiful. He got a membership card and swam three times a week. After swimming for a while, he realized that he had been tricked. "Vézé continued to talk like it was a family matter.
"What do you mean?" Shen Xin wanted to be funny, and he was really curious.
"Swimmers have a perfect body, not because they exercise enough. In fact, it is the opposite: they become excellent swimmers because they have such a body. Their beautiful body is a selection criterion, not the result of their exercise.
When female models advertise cosmetics, some consumers think that cosmetics will make people as beautiful as the models, but in fact, it is not cosmetics that make these women become models. These models are born beautiful, so they are chosen to advertise cosmetics. Just like the swimmers, here, beauty was the standard of choice, not the result. Once we confuse the selection criterion and the result, we will have the illusion that exercise makes the body better. "
"…" Shen Xin wanted to say something, but he could not say anything. Vézé's point of view was very reasonable in theory, but his reasoning was indeed a bit different.
Seeing that Shen Xin was finally listening, Vézé asked, "Shen Xin. I think you think that the collapse of state-owned enterprises is a bad thing. I think you think that a strong state-owned enterprise is a good thing. I don't know if I'm right. "
Shen Xin answered carefully, "If there were no state-owned enterprises, we would not be as strong as we are today."
Vézé's tone suddenly became cold. "Well! Have you considered the problem according to this line of thinking? Or, have you deduced it according to this cold attitude? "
"… You mean, have I considered the problem with the strength of the country as the core point?" Shen Xin could not keep up with Vézé's rhythm.
Vézé sighed and his tone softened. "The country is strong because of its strong productivity. If there is no corresponding technology, experience, and organizational ability, it is impossible to improve productivity. What is the first thing we do after a big change of clothes? It is all to train the troops. To let the troops quickly master the equipment. Who do you think will win the battle between the troops who are familiar with the old equipment and the troops who have not mastered the new equipment? "
Shen Xin's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. After thinking for a while, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and his whole body seemed to be glowing. "Commander-in-chief, you mean that a realistic government is the foundation of success, and success is not the standard to judge whether the government is strong or not?"
"Something like that. Beauty is a choice, not a result. Beauty comes first, and then you can choose the beauty. If you ask a very happy person what the secret of their happiness is. They will basically answer that they must be optimistic and not pessimistic. In fact, these people naturally tend to see positive factors in everything. Most of their happiness is innate, and it is constant in life. Once people confuse the choice criteria and the result, misconceptions will arise. Whenever someone praises something as worth pursuing — a healthy body, beauty, high income, longevity, influence, happiness — you have to look carefully. That is the choice criteria, or the final result. Don't look at those bullsh * t reasons for success. These reasons don't work for most people, because the unlucky won't pick up a pen to write a book about how they succeeded. Shen Xin, look at Comrade Ziyang. You will know why the unlucky can't write a book! "
"Hehe. Haha! "Shen Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yes, Comrade Ziyang would not write a book about himself. In particular, he would not write about his experience as the chairman. Shen Xin quickly stopped laughing and saw a new direction, especially the direction to solve the current situation. Shen Xin decided to figure it out first. He quickly asked, "Commander-in-chief, how should we solve the problem of the state-owned enterprises?"
"Specific analysis of specific problems. First of all, has the country sorted out the information of all the enterprises? It's useless to think about it in the air. I'll give you an example of the textile industry. At the end of the war in North America, we eliminated a large number of textile enterprises. But let me ask you, how many textile enterprises have been eliminated since then? "Vézé saw that Shen Xin had finally caught up and felt a lot more relaxed.
"It seems. No more eliminations. "Shen Xin didn't have any research in this area, so he could only use his brain to think carefully.
Vézé sneered. "Hmph! Not only were there no eliminations, but there were also dozens of large textile factories in North America. Coupled with the technological upgrades of other enterprises, not only did their production capacity not decrease, but it has basically increased to more than five times that of before the war. With such fierce competition, how do you think we can run it well? State-owned enterprises are very important to the country, but this doesn't mean that some state-owned enterprises will never collapse. If there were really state-owned enterprises that would never collapse, we would still be using matchlocks. "
"… You mean, because of overcapacity or market changes. Is it inevitable that many state-owned enterprises can't survive, not by chance? " Shen Xin had heard such reasons before, but there were very few people who dared to say this, and the influence was very small. It was like a mosquito buzzing in one's ear. It was annoying, but it might not be seen. At this time, Vézé said the same point of view, and Shen Xin immediately had an idea.
"Shen Xin, the strength of a country is a very cold thing. Strength means elimination, and continuous elimination. Do you remember more than 50 years ago? We eliminated flintlock guns and sold a large number of firearms to Annan and Siam. Many comrades hugged their guns and cried. We couldn't bear to. At that time, how many guns did we eliminate? Tens of thousands. After the end of the North American War, how many guns did we eliminate? Millions of guns. Whether in terms of craftsmanship or cost, these millions of guns are far better than the firearms of the past. Didn't everyone feel distressed at that time? Very distressed. But what needs to be eliminated has to be eliminated. "
After thinking about it, Shen Xin asked with some confusion, "Commander-in-chief, you already knew this. Why didn't you say it like this, or set the elimination policy earlier? If you had done this earlier, how much trouble could you have saved! "
"Because you won't listen to me. Even if someone uses my name, it is completely different from my original intention. I agree with Confucius' words very much. Don't be angry, don't be angry. Normal people will think that it is a good thing to have a hand full of bruises. Only after encountering a head full of bruises, and after searching up and down, the Central Committee of Recovery will understand that this kind of thinking is wrong. "Vézé replied with a smile.
"… In other words, Commander-in-chief, you have long been ready to see us make a fool of ourselves?" Shen Xin was very surprised.
Vézé continued to smile and replied, "When I was alive, you did this at most to let me see you make a fool of yourself. After I die, if you do this. I don't know if others will see this as a joke. "
Shen Xin didn't want to dwell on this issue. He realized that as a person in his twenties, when he learned that the whole thing was just a joke in Vézé's eyes, his first reaction was to complain and act coquettishly. But Shen Xin's pride didn't allow him to do so. So Shen Xin asked further, "Commander-in-chief, what should I do when I return to Beijing?"
"I know you have long been dissatisfied with Ziyang. You have also been looking for someone to replace him. I think it is better to observe him more. Comrade Ziyang's problem may be a problem of ability, but it is not just his problem. As for new ideas, it is better for the Central Committee to gradually solve them. I am actually worried that someone will fish in troubled waters at this time. So we will first prepare a large-scale financial investigation and conduct comprehensive statistics. Once these two things are ready, as long as I am still alive, I will go to the capital. Go back and settle these first. "Vézé couldn't help but crack a small joke in the end.
"Commander-in-chief, I will hurry!" I'll hold on tight! "Shen Xin replied decisively.
After talking, the two of them boarded their respective planes. Vézé's plane took off first, followed by Shen Xin's plane. When the two planes disappeared into the sky, it was as if nothing had happened in the empty airport.
Sitting on the plane, Shen Xin first pondered for a while. After looking at the problem according to Vézé's train of thought, he quickly realized that the current predicament was inevitable. However, Shen Xin was confident that he could solve this predicament. Just as Vézé said, he had been troubled by this predicament for so long. He had spent a lot of effort and tried countless methods to solve this problem. As long as he had a direction, the pain of the past would become an aid.
Because he was relaxed, Shen Xin was no longer worried about the possibility of his whereabouts being exposed. Although it had only been a few hours, the change in the situation had greatly changed Shen Xin's mentality. The plane landed safely, and Shen Xin got into the car and went straight to the city. A few hours later, he began to contact some people.
Vézé's plane also landed safely. As soon as Vézé returned to his residence, he saw his comrades from the Central Guards Regiment waiting for him anxiously. Seeing Vézé, the comrades from the Central Guards Regiment immediately said, "Your Majesty. A few days ago, the reception department received a letter addressed to you. There were small poisonous blades hidden in the envelope, and one of our comrades was accidentally cut... "
"Has that comrade been rescued?" Vézé asked quickly.
"He has been rescued. We are also investigating. However, we still hope that you will be careful. We will increase the security measures, and we hope that you can forgive us. "The comrades from the Central Guards Regiment said uneasily.
Assassinating the emperor was a serious matter, and the murderer was obviously an amateur. He did not understand the security measures at all. Everyone who wanted to see Vézé would be searched. Everything brought with them had to be checked. These unknown letters could not be directly opened by Vézé. Unless Vézé asked about them, most of the letters were screened by the secretary, and could not be seen by Vézé at all.
"You have worked hard. Although this matter needs to be investigated, don't alarm too much. The murderer's original intention was to create an atmosphere of terror, and we don't need to let the murderer feel that he has succeeded, "Vézé said calmly, as if he had long known that the threat was not his own life.
Seeing that His Majesty was so calm, the comrades from the Central Guards Regiment had tears in their eyes. They were mentally prepared for His Majesty to be furious, but they did not expect His Majesty to be so considerate. The comrade from the Guard Regiment stood at attention and saluted. He said resolutely, "Your Majesty, we will never let that guy escape from the law."
Vézé nodded. "You have worked hard. Also, you should also get ready. I am going back to Beijing after a while. "
"Really?" The comrades from the Central Guards Regiment could not help but show joy. If Vézé could return to Beijing, all the problems would be much easier to handle, even if they could not be said to be easily solved. Beijing had garrison troops and all kinds of powerful agencies. It would only be safer for Vézé to stay in Beijing.
As the days passed, the situation outside began to deteriorate. At first, it was only in Asia, but in June, there were also protests in North America. In the face of the sudden increase in taxes, the North American people were extremely angry. In addition, the Asian part of the country was in an uproar, so everyone went to the streets. Even though Vézé was quite critical of the conduct of the bureaucrats, it was really an eye-opener for him that things had gotten to this point.
A few days later, the news that His Majesty was returning to the capital began to spread like wildfire in the capital. Although it was not known who released the news, everyone felt that it was very likely.
Zi Yang felt terrible. Even if he thought that even if the Military Governor Of Vaize returned, he would not be dealt with immediately, he felt that facing the Military Governor Of Vaize in such a dispirited manner was scarier than death. Therefore, he made up his mind and decided to solve the problem first, no matter what.
At this time, the main target of the riots had changed. Students had replaced the workers as the main group of rioters. University graduation was imminent, and over the past few years, the university had gradually eliminated the allocation of school bags. At the thought of the glorious days of their seniors, the anger of the current group of university students increased day by day. The school was a place where personality was distinct and no one was willing to submit to anyone. It was also a very organized and disciplined place.
Therefore, the student body and the representatives appeared. At least, the representatives expressed that they must restore the previous allocation system. Whether it was the representatives or the students, they completely did not notice that they had criticized the previous system.
Vézé did not set off because Li Yifang's health suddenly deteriorated before he set off. Previously, Li Yifang's health had not been good, but she had suddenly fallen ill. This time, the situation made Vézé feel very dangerous. Although the speed was not fast, Li Yifang's body was gradually weakening. There was no feeling of bottoming out like last time.
In the past, Vézé could probably use work as an excuse to leave Li Yifang's side. But now, he really could not harden his heart. At least from Vézé's point of view, the problem this time was like a fire boil. If the festering area was not completely cooked and the pus was let out, the affected area would not recover. After the fall, the list needed this group of people to be dancing happily. If he did not let them dance wildly, how would he know their true colors?
So, Vézé spent the whole of June taking care of Li Yifang in the hospital in Nanjing. In July, a piece of news shocked Vézé. Ziyang and some other people actually held a meeting with the troublemakers. And it was an open meeting.
"Vézé. Don't worry about me. You'd better go to Beijing. "Li Yifang's voice interrupted Vézé's thoughts.
Vézé put down the document and could not completely extricate himself from the shock. Even so, he tried to say gently, "It's better to take care of you."
Li Yifang tried to force a smile, "Vézé, you really don't know how to lie. I didn't say that before because I could see that you were still calm. Now, I can see that you are really anxious. You know that I will support you at all times. I will also try my best to wait for you to come back. "
Ten minutes later, Vézé strode out of Li Yifang's ward. When the comrades of the Guards saw Vézé's actions, they felt as if an electric current had passed through their nerves. It was difficult to describe, but they felt a shock. In front of them was an old man, but full of infinite power. Without saying anything, the comrades of the Guards immediately followed.
