Chapter 729: Family and Country Feelings

Yang Kai stood up, served Li Zeman with a drink, and said, "Prince, I originally expected that you would rush back to the city in the evening. I didn't want to talk about this, but I just talked about it at this time, so I can only feel sorry for you to eat the food in this canteen."

"It's great. I won't eat it for a long time, but I miss it quite a bit!" Li Ze smiled and held a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into his mouth, which melted in his mouth, and it was full of reminiscence: "The master's skills in the canteen have improved a lot compared to before. Yang Kai, Cao Zhang, you two sit and eat together."

Yang Kai and Cao Zhang were with each other. Cao Zhang didn't give a speech and didn't attend class, and he seemed a little dull and sat there blankly and seemed a little imprisoned. However, Yang Kai was with Li Zeqi and Weiwu. After accompanying him over the years, Yang Kai could be considered to be sharing the hardships with Li Ze.

Now he is no longer the magistrate who was greedy for money and fears death. He has a higher position and has seen more, but he is also more open-minded. Compared with the past, he is completely different.

He presided over Yixing Society, watching and reading what Li Ze wrote every day. At first, he just hoped to make Li Ze's power bigger, so that his life would be more secure and his future would be brighter. In fact, he believed it a little bit in his heart, and he was really doubtful.

However, when one thing was persistent and persisted for many years, it was integrated with him. Before he knew it, Yang Kai had already believed in these tenets he promoted.

When he was convinced of these things, his whole body began to undergo qualitative changes from the inside out. In Li Ze's view, this originally vulgar guy is always so radiant and righteous no matter where he stands. Some of the Yixing Society purposes written by Li Ze were casually written by him, together with Cao Zhang, have now been promoted and out of his prime.

Today, Yang Kai is an absolute core important official of the Tang Dynasty. Yixing Society is not only a huge influence among the people and is well-official, but also integrated with the bureaucratic system and military system. Therefore, the founder of Yixing Society like Yang Kai has a reputation and influence far exceeding that of ordinary officials.

At the beginning, Li Ze regarded Yang Kai as a follower, and his trust and reliance for him were far inferior to Cao Xin, Tu Lichun, Tu Hu, Shi Zhuang and others. However, as time went by, Yang Kai's importance became more and more important. By now, Li Ze has elevated Yang Kai to a like-minded partner.

"Prince, you stayed in Wuwei Academy today. I wonder if your wife will be furious and come to scold me?" Yang Kai greeted Li Ze with a glass of wine and said half-jokingly: "After all, Zhang Shangshu is not here now, and Wuwei Academy will be temporarily controlled by me, the deputy chief."

"She, in the past ten days, she has been staying in the military camp to train the Right Thousand Niu Guards." Li Ze smiled and shook his head.

"Mrs. Xia Shangshu is here, I'm afraid he will scold me even more!"

"She is busier!" Li Ze said: "I haven't seen her for eight days. I've been eating and living on her small building. Spring is about to sow, and I have to deal with possible drought. She is also very busy."

Yang Kai laughed: "Then I'm relieved. Prime Minister, be drunk tonight! Cao Zhang, fill the wine for Prime Minister and toast him a glass."

Cao Zhang stood up and raised his glass and said, "I have listened to the Prime Minister's talk today. Cao Zhang has benefited a lot. Many of the problems that were difficult to solve before were solved. Zhang Jing, Xie Zhao, and I will solve my problems."

Li Ze smiled and drank it all with him.

"Cao Zhang, you are a talented man in Yixing Society. The purpose of Yixing Society is now in a system, and you should be the first to be a meritorious person." Li Ze said: "I should respect you and thank you for your efforts. Yang Kai, you will accompany you."

I raised my glass, looked at each other and savored it all.

Yixing Society was first initiated by Li Ze and organized by Yang Kai, and Cao Zhang formed a system, which was the purpose of Yixing Society and found a basis for benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Ze looked at the two leaders of Yixing Society and said, "Yixing Society is now huge, and it is time to calm down and cultivate its internal strength. The early development is too rapid, and there will inevitably be many problems inside. I believe you have noticed this."

Yang Kai nodded and said, "Yes, Prime Minister, we have also discovered this problem. The cleaning actions within Yixing Society have never stopped. We will never tolerate speculators with insufficient beliefs."

"Yes, when an organization was first established, its motivations were pure and people's hearts were neat. But as it grew, there were always some opportunistic people who came in to seek personal gain. These people may not be large, but just like a basket of fruits, it would always quickly pollute many of them that were originally good. Only by constantly finding these bad fruits and cleaning them out can we ensure that the whole basket of fruits will not deteriorate." Li Ze said: "If you can notice this problem, I feel relieved."

"Prince, next, we will tighten the entry point of joining Yixing Society. Today's Yixing members are promoted faster and more trusted in the military and in the official system. Yixing members are about to become stepping stones for officials. In view of this, the threshold for joining Yixing Society in the future will be greatly increased." Yang Kai said: "Cao Zhang and I are discussing that in the future, new Yixing Society members need to have a joint guarantee system. At least three Yixing members can jointly serve as insurance so that a new person can be introduced. If there is a problem with this new person, the three people who are jointly guaranteed will be punished accordingly. In this way, they can supervise each other and minimize the chance of problems."

"This is also a solution!" Li Ze nodded in agreement.

"Prince, tightening the gap is only applicable to our ruling areas. In other places, we are still constantly developing Yixing members, and the conditions for people in these areas have been much relaxed." Cao Zhang said: "As Prime Minister said, seek common ground and keep a small difference. As long as they support us, we are willing to develop them first."

"It is true." Yang Kai continued: "Now the pseudo-liang and the southern towns are extremely afraid of Yixing Society. The pseudo-liang even claims Yixing Society as a cult. If you find it, you will be killed without mercy. Although the southern towns have not been announced, they have also taken ruthless measures from the current development situation. So now, in those places, anyone who is willing to join Yixing Society still takes huge risks. Just looking at this point is enough to allow us to accept him."

Li Ze touched his chin and thought that this was the underground party of this era.

"Today I specially stayed to talk to you about the night of the candle. It is not only about the organizational structure and development issues of Yixingshe, but also about it. It is especially necessary to discuss with you and hope that you can carry out vigorously in the next work." Li Ze continued to drink a cup with the two of them.

The two of them looked erect and sat upright at the same time.

"Prime Minister, please give me instructions!"

"Next, our Yixing Society's propaganda will go further." Li Ze stood up and paced back and forth in the house, saying: "The land of China always has long separation and will be united, and long integration will be united. It is common to change dynasties and generations. Even foreign invasions have been many times. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the people only know what family is, not what country is, and not what ethnic group is? Next, our Yixing Society's propaganda and work must be carried out closely around the key points of family, country and nation."

"Family, country, nation?" Yang Kai widened his eyes.

"Before I, my family and country are already there, and after I am without me, my family and country will remain forever." Li Ze said word by word.

Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is in oneself."

After all, people who are well-read poetry and books have found the right point at once. Li Ze nodded at Cao Zhang's praise: "Home is the smallest country, and the country is a million families. We must let our people slowly establish such a concept that their home, their happiness, and their lives are closely linked to our country. If the country is good, the family will be good. If the family is good, people will naturally be better. Connect everyone's destiny with the country. Yixing Society must slowly instill the concept of the country into our people bit by bit."

Yang Kai thought for a moment and nodded, "Prince, I have a little bit of a fancy, it's just a nation? The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and many ethnic groups. Even now, there are countless races in our northern part."

Li Ze laughed and said, "Anyone who is the Tang people is of the same race. Di Yi enters China, then it is China. No matter what appearance he looks like or where he is, he says I am Tang Dynasty, read my Tang books, know my Tang rituals, and regards my Tang Dynasty as his mother country. He is also a great nation of China. Thinking of me, Tang Dynasty, has always been inclusive. Even if it is Hu people, there are many high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and there are many people who govern the country. With such a precedent, why can't we be tolerated?"

Yang Kai and Cao Zhang both nodded thoughtfully.

"We must inject the feelings of family and country into our culture bit by bit, and into our blood genes, so that our people have the foundation of national identity, national identity, and cultural identity, establish the concept of starting the country and then family, and advocate that our people give up their families for the sake of the country when family interests conflict with national interests, and that the country is more important than family. Yang Kai and Cao Zhang, what I want you to do is to shape our national soul and the root of the nation, and to create our national spirit. Once such a national spirit is formed, we will have incomparable centripetal force, cohesion, and combat power. Our country will last for thousands of years and be immortal."

Yang Kai and Cao Zhang were shocked, stood up together and bowed to the ground.

"Yixing Society should be a pioneer."

"Or it requires the efforts of a generation or even several generations, but it doesn't matter. Just as I said before, the contribution does not have to be with me, and the contribution does not have to be with me. As long as the efforts of each generation continue, the results will eventually be achieved." Li Ze poured wine into the cups of the three of them, and poured it: "Yixingshe, we should be the pioneer."
