Part 6 Chapter 4 Consciousness of Crisis

The negotiations between China and Russia, with the United States, a enthusiastic person who is determined to use this mediation to improve his international status, everything looked very smooth. The negotiation location was not beyond Chen Congyun's expectations. Portsmouth, proposed by the Americans, is a city located in New Hampshire, USA, on the Atlantic coast.

The Americans stood up to help mediate at this time, to a large extent, because the Russians pulled Lincoln during the Civil War crisis in the United States. Chen Congyun believed that although the United States today is the world's number one industrial power, in terms of international status, it is far from the European powers.

There were crowds on the Tianjin pier, and countless national flags were waving, and there was a scene of drums and music. Most of the people who gave away the negotiation delegation came spontaneously, mostly young people. They held slogans such as "Farewell to the Negotiation Delegation" and "Wish the negotiation success" and kept shouting slogans such as "Long live the Chinese nation" and "The Chinese people have stood up from now on", as if they would not feel tired at all, and they refused to disperse until the ship disappeared from sight.

Standing on the three-story building of the Port Authority, Chen Congyun watched the delegation's continuous waving hands, with a solemn look. Although the Sino-Russian War ended with victory, there were still disharmonious voices in the country, and the argument that "the country of warriors will perish" has emerged in some newspapers. Many knowledgeable people have begun to realize a problem. Since Chen Congyun came to power, all the mechanisms of the country seem to be operating around the theme of war. The Sino-Japanese War and the Sino-Russian War were a few years apart.

The view of war cannot be said that the above view is wrong. The key issue is to see that the essence of war is the continuation of politics. When political means cannot obtain the desired benefits, war will naturally surface. This point has been ruthlessly proved by history. Isn’t China’s borders opened by Britain after using political means to achieve the legal transaction of opium?

Fortunately, Chen Congyun is in an era where feudal society still has a deep influence, and the act of dictatorship called the president can be recognized by the people of the whole country. Regarding this, those who are skeptical of the war also expressed concern in their speeches. Where will a belligerent dictator lead China?

There are those who oppose and doubt, there are those who support and affirmative. Naturally, the newspapers started to talk about the issue of war. To put it simply, it is ignoring these attitudes that Chen Congyuncai was willing to do so.

For Chen Congyun, the most direct feeling is not the pleasure brought by power, but the feeling of physical and mental fatigue. Whenever he thinks of traveling to the Qing Dynasty, Chen Congyun will secretly say: "Fuck!" A good white-collar worker in the 21st century, living in an era of great material richness, for Chen Congyun, who has no strong desire for money or materiality, his life before traveling is so nourishing. If he is possible to go back, Chen Congyun will never choose to travel through time, but will choose to continue to be a free white-collar worker.

I felt helplessness in the end, but in the end I could only turn into a long sigh, and then I turned back from the window obediently. Chen Congyun walked out with firm steps, and there were still many things waiting for me to do.

Just as Li Wei was last reporting on work and asked what to do with the unnutritious arguments in the newspaper, Chen Congyun smiled faintly and said, "There is nothing in the world, and the mediocre people disturb you! Let him go."

Chen Congyun knew clearly that he could not stop. In the 20th century, China, where mountains and rivers were broken in history, people experienced too much suffering. Since they came and sat in this position, Chen Congyun had the responsibility to avoid suffering and lead the country and democracy to move forward along a basically correct route.

"As of the date of statistics, our country has immigrated 5 million to North Korea and 10 million to Vietnam. According to your instructions, the official language of North Korea and Vietnam is Chinese. Students think that the conditions for both places to go to the vassal provinces to incorporate the territory have basically been ripe."

After Li Wei finished the report respectfully, he closed the notebook in his hand, and patiently waited for Chen Congyun's decision.

Chen Congyun leaned on the chair with his eyes closed, with a contemplative expression. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "The problem of Vietnam is slowed down first. In the past few years, in order to ease the international environment, he had to give the interests of the surrounding areas of Saigon to the French. In order to obtain a complete Vietnamese province, we must wait for a while. North Korea's problem can be submitted to the parliament for deliberation."

Li Wei curled his lips and said, "What are the things that those congressmen who just pay money and don't do? Just make the decision."

Chen Congyun couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, glared at Li Wei and said, "Nonsense! How can the national system ignore it just by ignoring it? It's still a matter of procedure."

The current parliament is actually an empty standpoint in terms of decision-making, and Chen Congyun feels very helpless. The reason for this situation is because of his own reasons, but in the current state of the country, if you have to ask the old guys in the parliament to pass everything before you can do it, then don’t do anything.

"Hmph! Last month, two old guys were openly jealous in the parliament for a priest from the Eight Great Hutongs, and even staged a full martial arts show. They are all in their 60s, so they don't feel embarrassed." Li Wei said angrily, and Chen Congyun didn't have any too intense expressions on his face when he heard this.

"Aren't those two MPs disqualified? Most MPs still want to do some serious things for the country, so don't overturn the crowd. After talking for a long time, you just want to tell me that most of the so-called MPs today are still the old gentry. The rights granted by the state to the people cannot be truly implemented in the hands of the people, right?" Chen Congyun asked with a smile, and Li Wei nodded.

Chen Congyun continued: "Have you ever thought about the problem that the Chinese people are currently facing is whether they can eat enough. If the huge base of 40 million people is allowed to grow, it will be a terrifying data in ten years. At that time, there will be so much arable land, how to solve the problem of food? The problem of survival cannot be solved. What democracy and rights are discussed?"

Li Wei never expected Chen Congyun to ask this, and couldn't help but lose his words and stood there. After a while, hesitantly asked: "What do you mean?"

Chen Congyun said: "As a senior member of the country, we must have this awareness. In a short period of time, we cannot introduce policies to limit population fertility. What should we do? We can only continue to expand our territory and expand the living space of the nation. At the same time, the propaganda machine must be moved and let every citizen hear such an argument. If we always keep giving birth, we will face the problem of not being able to eat enough rice bran in the future. This is definitely not an exaggeration. The consequences of the sharp increase in population are serious. We must have a sense of crisis."

Li Wei immediately understood Chen Congyun's thoughts, and when his mind changed, he had an idea. He nodded repeatedly: "When the students go back, they organize some scholars to discuss this issue, and then the media will promote it, first create a momentum and create an environment."

Chen Congyun nodded in approval and said, "The parliament can introduce a law to encourage late marriage and late childbirth, and fewer children and good children. If necessary, material rewards can be used. Of course, this matter is not urgent, and it cannot be done in one or two days. People's concepts are the most difficult thing to reverse. The road must be taken step by step, and the meal must be eaten one by one."

After Li Wei got the idea, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. Chen Congyun was alone in the study, falling into another thought and silence.

It is still unknown how long I can live. I have heard so many blessings like Wanshou Wujiang, and Chen Congyun would not believe it at all. Some time ago, another Taoist priest came to the door and threatened that Chen Congyun's destiny was a wealthy man. Then the Taoist priest used the name of heaven to enlighten him and wanted to teach the Chen Congyun immortal family the way of immortal life. Li Yaoguo, a bastard, was half-believing and half-doubted, and led the person in. Chen Congyun was so angry that he slapped the table and asked the Taoist priest to get out. After turning around, he locked up Li Yaoguo in three days.

"Zi Bu Ye's words are so powerful that he is so powerful that he is so powerful that he is so powerful that he is so powerful that he has read all the books in his dog's belly. Are there still fewer real examples in history?

From this incident, Chen Congyun thought of the Boxer Rebellion and the White Lotus Sect in history. These folk groups had no soil after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and had not done anything vigorous, but they had always existed. The cause of enlightenment of people's wisdom and intelligence has a long way to go.

Chen Congyun thought of it helplessly, scratched his head, shook his head and picked up a report from the South China Sea Fleet in front of him to the General Staff. The General Staff transferred the report to Chen Congyun.

Holding the report, Chen Congyun stood up, turned his gaze to the Pacific Ocean, and to one of the islands after another. These places now look inconspicuous and belong to the barbaric land in traditional consciousness. Chen Congyun is very clear about what is hidden under the nearby sea area.
