Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

So of course he is not willing to put his wealth and life there. According to him, since the ancient saying that a gentleman should not stand behind a wall is so resounding, it is understandable that he quoted it in practice. .

Therefore, now that President Yuan Shikai is in Zhili Province, he has also changed Zhili Province into Shuntian Prefecture, meaning that his rule means to follow the heaven.

Nanjing is now run by Lu Xun, but in many cases, Huang Xing and Vice President Song Jiaoren can also check and balance Lu Xun, and these people together can also check and balance Yuan Shikai. So, it's like playing chess. Now the game has become quiet again, but everyone knows that this chess game may rise and fall again at any time** Low " The day when the tide comes.

Lu Xun continued to be busy at work this day. Although he is now the prime minister of a country, he can be regarded as a world power based on land and population. Looking at income and other indicators, he, who had studied in a Western country, found that the figures he faced were ridiculously low, and some of them could even be described as shocking.

35 US dollars, also known as 35 pesetas, is the result calculated based on price levels. This made Lu Xun frown when he saw this assessment figure. He knew that the countries in South America are developing very fast. In particular, the current income of Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia and Peru, which are now known as the four tiger economies of South America, has reached more than 50 pesetas in 1905 a few years ago. They originally predicted that it would reach 100 pesetas in 1910 and 150 pesetas in 1912. Now it has almost reached about 200 pesetas. In Europe, Spain, the United Kingdom, the German Empire and the United States are now the most developed countries in the world. The per capita annual income of these two countries is now the same as 1,000 pesetas, or even Both the UK and Spain are forecasting that their annual per capita income will reach about 1,500 pesetas this year, which is about 300 pounds. [

Seeing such a big number, Lu Xun was frightened and at the same time felt very sad and angry. The struggle for power was all caused by this, even though it was the most developed country in the world hundreds of years ago. But it’s because of the isolation of the country. The majestic China that was originally the center of the world has become a place where foreign technology is now relied on to maintain balance. The current chaos of warlords everywhere is the result of these, which makes Lu Xun very sad. It's not just him. He believes it. Every Chinese and every patriotic person will feel pain for this.

According to this number, if the Republic of China is allowed to catch up with the current living conditions in South America. Then it will take at least ten years, but the war here is nothing compared to the peace in South America, so now Lu Xun also has a headache over this, but as Prime Minister However, he felt very helpless, because he knew that although it seemed that the warlords would listen to the arrangements of the central "government", it was superficial and just to gain carelessness, so Lu Xunbin did not expect it. Those people can completely transform the country's economy in accordance with their own economics, and these transformations will also involve conflicts between landlords and some small warlords, which makes him feel a very strong sense of power.

"Escape, tell me, will the emergence of these data bring a fighting spirit to our country?" Lu Xun looked at the information in his hands again and asked the current Vice President of the Republic of China sitting next to him. Song Jiaoren asked.

The two are now the most powerful figures in the Nanjing "government", so on many issues, Lu Xun needs to come in and communicate with Song Jiaoren before promulgating them. This is also a way to restrict Yuan Shikai. After all, there are some big documents , signed with the names of the Prime Minister and the Vice President, can make the president Yuan Shikai scruple. After all, this has shown that this matter represents the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China. The union of these two major parties can only be achieved through Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong. Only after the Republican Party could compete with each other, Lu Xun also united Song Jiaoren. Everyone had their own needs. Fortunately, the two had communicated many times before and were very familiar with each other. Lu Xun even felt that Song Jiaoren was a more suitable partner for cooperation than Huang Xing, because Song Jiaoren was more patriotistic than individualistic, while Huang Xing was more Sun Yat-sen's individualistic. Patriotism, and Lu Xun considered himself to be the former. Therefore, many of Song Jiaoren’s words disagreed with him.

Song Jiaoren was definitely a very gentle man, which can be seen from his clothes and the tone of his speech, so it is no wonder that Lu Xun had a good impression of him, because he himself had such a style of dressing. It can be said that he is a congenial person. It's a pity that their respective positions are destined to be unable to change the other's position on some things, but now working together in the Nanjing "Government" allows them to understand each other better. This can be regarded as a great blessing as they said privately.

Song Jiaoren said: "This is a matter of great concern. The Qing government has not carried out any spot checks on these people's hardships since ancient times. Of course, there are still secret reports to the top. But that is only known to a small group of people. They are afraid that if others find out, it will cause a coup or other accidents, so they have chosen to keep it secret. But we are different now. We have only just founded the country. It is when these are needed most. This pitifully low number can make people understand to a certain extent that the "government" is also concerned about their living conditions, so this will inspire their confidence in the "government" and let people We can better mobilize our emotions when dealing with them. In this way, we can carry out major economic reforms with them to transform the country's destiny.

Finally, we can also use this to inspire some people's loose patriotism, so that they can understand the danger of their country falling again, and we can even make some other changes."

But the geographical issue, you know, President Yuan Shikai, it is difficult to persuade them to follow our pace. This is really a very difficult thing to handle. "
