Early in the morning, Mu Yaping drove to Yan Xishan's official residence in the cold wind. At this time, Yan Xishan had already received the notice and stood in front of the door to wait in front of the cold wind. He knew that Mu Yaping did not care about ordinary etiquette, and even felt a little disgusted. Even Yan Xishan thought that some servile lacquer had to do this. At present, Mu Yaping was more important than anyone else to know how heavy his weight was. Therefore, Yan Xishan believed that it would not be too much for Mu Yaping to curry favor with him. Moreover, for Yan Xishan, being able to come to his home was already giving him enough face.

Yan Xishan is fifty-one years old this year. As a politician, he is at the age of being strong and capable. Now he wants to throw away all unrealistic ideas and truly integrate into the Mu-style system without being marginalized. This is the real purpose of his conversation with Mu Yaping today. Because he has realized the feeling of being thrown away. Looking at the car Mu Yaping is slowly parked in front of him, Yan Xishan was a little excited. He once had this feeling, perhaps it was a subtle change, perhaps it happened unknowingly, or perhaps it was Mu Yaping's energy constantly erupting, which had already melted the sad self-esteem deep in his heart. As for Mu Yaping's tent and personal charm, it was no longer a problem to bow down and surrender.

Since Yan Xishan came out again, his power has fallen and his military power has been lost. He tried to struggle and resist. However, Mu Yaping's energy is almost everywhere. Several battles have achieved nothing, but instead played the opposite role. Yan Xishan deeply felt that he and Mu Yaping were not at the same level at all. As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes are the foundation of survival. He saw that Mu Yaping had no political ambitions, but was obsessed with military power and military preparations. Since he could not compete with Mu Yaping in military terms, why not rely on this big tree to enjoy the cool air? Politically and economically, it has made great achievements. Therefore, Yan Xishan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to express his feelings while striving to fully integrate into Mu Yaping's core group.

Yan Xishan knew that Mu Yaping hated greed and, once he found out that no one was ruthless, he did not think about greed and based on the principle of not touching lightning, Mu Yaping was an example and was influenced by him. Several factories he had planned to build in his hometown of Dingxiang County, and the benefits were good. He did not operate according to the traditional family model, but hired specialized management talents. In the past few years, he had increased his money and made great profits. He earned money openly and honestly, and could not say that he could avoid trouble.

Perhaps influenced by Mu Yaping, he set up a modern farm in his hometown Hebian Village, and the trial was effective in one year. Of course, the farm model he built was far from the essence, scientific coordination and intensiveness of Peach Blossom Farm, but it also made progress. What made him proud is that the significant economic benefits over the past year have become famous in Shanxi. Many powerful landlords in Shanxi visited Hebian Village and learned from the scriptures. Many powerful politicians and politicians also began to try it out. In short, the budding of the new farm began to emerge in the land of Shanxi and were out of control.

"Chairman Yan! The weather is so cold, you stand outside and wait, which makes you feel ashamed!" Mu Yaping's attitude was as always, and he was not ashamed of the character's change. This made Yan Xishan admire and scared him the most. Perhaps Mu Yaping's expression was a little arrogant, and perhaps Yan Xishan would enjoy it. Yan Xishan laughed and said, "Brother Mu is rarely a guest in my mansion. How dare you and my brother be so arrogant? You and my brother should be like this." Yan Xishan's opening remark was very well said. He wanted to create a harmonious atmosphere for brothers and at the same time demonstrated his respect. With Mu Yaping's shrewdness, it was impossible not to understand his intention. Both sides greeted each other and held hands into the mansion while talking.

Mu Yaping followed Yan Xishan into a small living room in the mansion. Seeing the situation in the living room, Mu Yaping quickly guessed Yan Xishan's intention. There would be no third person present in the conversation between the two. Mu Yaping looked at the furnishings of the living room and saw an antique table in the center of the house, and two Taishi chairs were separated on both sides. He did not know any of the calligraphy and paintings on the front wall and the seal characters of dragons and phoenixes. The only eye-catching sight of the living room was a military map on the north wall. It seemed that Yan Xishan did not forget to study the situation and military dynamics in the country in his spare time.

Shortly after the two of them sat down, two maids came in. One maid was holding a teapot and the other maid was holding a tea bowl. Soon two bowls of tea were placed in front of them.

Yan Xishan smiled and said, "Brother Mu, I'll let you taste the Dahongpao in Jiangnan. This is not only the new tea of ​​the year, but also the best." Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Although Dahongpao is expensive, I am used to drinking Tieguanyin. I like the fragrance and elegance of Tieguanyin." "Don't draw a conclusion first, you can taste it before talking about it!" Yan Xishan reached out and made a gesture of invitation. Mu Yaping picked up the tea bowl and pecked gently, and a unique fragrance penetrated into his lungs. He saw that Yan Xishan also pecked, then closed his eyes and enjoyed it alone and said, "Not bad! It's the best fragrance. But Chairman Yan invited me today, not to talk about the tea ceremony! You and my brother have been dating for many years, so you might as well say it directly. You should know that I like to speak freely and be open and honest!"

Yan Xishan smiled and said, "Brother Mu is so quick to speak, but he seems to be pretentious for his brother. To be honest, brothers are not only a genius, but his openness and integrity are especially admired by his brother. Today I want to have a good conversation with Brother Mu. I have been confused for a long time. Please give me some advice and give me some advice." Mu Yaping was humble and thought to himself: When will Yan Xishan, who is good at calculating, change his nature? Could it be that he is showing kindness to him? Or have he had other intentions? Mu Yaping felt a little surprised.

Yan Xishan saw Mu Yaping falling into silence and said, "A politician, a politician who thinks he is ambitious, is no exception. Since I took over Shanxi, I admired your talent at the beginning, and later I regarded you as an opponent. I knew I was overestimating my abilities for a few rounds. Now I am willing to give up my disadvantages. Frankly speaking, this change is extremely painful. Today I say the truth. Outsiders say that I, Yan, is scheming, but I am naked in front of Brother Mu. My every move is as clear as I am. Why are you jumping around in front of you?"

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Chairman Yan is too humble. You said that I am so amazing. Maybe I am lucky, maybe I have a noble person to help, or maybe I have some little talent, which is not worth mentioning. As the saying goes, "Is the world wide in my heart? Chairman Yan has been in Shanxi for many years and has made great contributions to Shanxi's economy and even military and political affairs. I am just adding the finishing touch on Chairman Yan. Chairman Yan is so ashamed!" Mu Yaping clearly knew Yan Xishan's good intentions. He was completely disarming himself, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Yan Xishan smiled and said, "Brother Mu, the living reality is enough to explain everything. I dare to assert that Brother Mu's future will be limitless in the future, and will be successful and successful. Okay, let's change the topic now. Let's talk about the future economic development measures and ideological aspects of Shanxi. I hope Brother Mu will give me some advice." Mu Yaping said, "Chairman Yan, there is no question of giving advice. We can discuss it together. Please speak out." Yan Xishan said, "A few days ago, I will give you a summary of Shanxi's future economic development. I hope you will get your approval, but I didn't expect you to deny it completely. I want to hear your true thoughts?"

Mu Yaping's expression became serious and said: "Chairman Yan, this outline of economic development is impeccable, both in the rigorous and meticulous content and scientific and pragmatic attitude. What I said is unrealistic and has no fundamental conflict of interests with this outline. My focus is mainly on politics and military and the external environment we face. In short, if we are in a peaceful environment, this outline of economic development is undoubtedly a classic work, but all good wishes must obey the harsh reality and make reasonable plans."

Yan Xishan asked: "What aspect do you mean?" Mu Yaping analyzed: "Capital expansion must be expanded to a certain extent. It is divided into two forms, one is economic infiltration and control, and the other is naked plundering. At present, Japanese militarism has annexed the three northeastern provinces, which is the latter, but its expansion has not stopped. Therefore, the next step of launching a full-scale war of aggression against China is the inevitable result. As for when it launches an offensive, the initiative lies with the other side, but we cannot be lambs to be slaughtered, and it is inevitable to rise up and resist."

Yan Xishan asked: "Japan is a small country, and its resources and population will limit it to launch large-scale wars. If a local war breaks out to be credible, it is difficult to make the Japanese really have such a big appetite?" Mu Yaping said: "If the domestic situation is stable and everyone is united, the Japanese may not dare to take risks. But look at the continuous civil war in China, with holes and a lot of sand, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, modern times are in the age of hot weapons. Compared with ancient wars, there is no advantage in the number of people alone."

Yan Xishan said: "Even so, our territory is so vast, it is probably not that easy for the Japanese to get what they want." Mu Yaping said: "The Japanese may not occupy every inch of your land. He will capture the key industrial centers of military points, making you lose your ability to resist. Modern warfare is a logistical and a strong supply capacity. As for the current economic scale of Shanxi, the Japanese army is bound to win. Once the Japanese army occupy Shanxi, the entire northwest will lose its ability to resist. My layout in Wuyuan is based on this consideration." Yan Xishan suddenly realized and said: "You deny this outline of economic development, and it turns out that you are considering future wars?"

Mu Yaping continued: "Yes, Shanxi's future development mainly focuses on preparing for war. It is necessary to use limited resources and limited funds to use the most needed places and use our greatest energy to coordinate the wartime economy. You and my abilities are limited, but we can do a lot in this hot land of Shanxi. I can reveal to you a piece of news that Gansu and Qinghai Province are currently under my control. As our rear in the future, I am confident that I will fight a protracted defensive battle with the Japanese army in Shanxi. This is the reason why I deny your outline of economic development." Yan Xishan nodded and said: "Preparing for the future is the only one that must be Brother Mu. Next step I will draw up a new outline of economic development and make every effort to prepare for war."

Mu Yaping also said: "The cruelty of future wars may be unimaginable, but even if I pay huge sacrifices and huge prices, I will never succumb to the Japanese. I will persist to the end without hesitation, even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of me, I will do whatever I want." Yan Xishan looked at Mu Yaping's resolute face and suddenly felt a certain kind of self-confidence in his heart.

Before he knew it, it was lunch time. Yan Xishan took out the treasured Xinghua Village wine and warmly treated it. During the meal, the conversation became relatively relaxed. Yan Xishan seized the opportunity and asked, "Brother Mu, what do you think of family harmony?" Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Harmony brings wealth, harmony is the most important. When living together peacefully, it is harmony. At present, when the nation is alive, we must abandon all prejudices, unite all those who can be united, and be united with the outside world, and the hearts of the people move together!"

Yan Xishan nodded and then raised another question: "Brother Mu, what do you think of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?" This question is indeed difficult to answer. Mu Yaping pondered for a moment and said: "Whether the Kuomintang or the Communist Party is orthodox, who is a lie, not to mention who is orthodox, the only criterion for measurement is: who wins the hearts of the people will win the world, who can take root, blossom, and bear fruit on the soil of China, who is the final winner, and let history verify it!" Yan Xishan thought about it.

Afterwards, Mu Yaping guessed that Yan Xishan's transformation was the result of the superposition of internal and external forces, and perhaps it was inevitable, otherwise it would be the opposite.
