Chapter 619 Nanjing
The small passenger ship slowly approached the Nanjing Wharf. Mu Yaping stood beside the ship bar and looked up. The dock was also bustling, and the bustling scene here was no less than the Wuhan Riverside Wharf. Mu Yaping felt very happy when he saw this scene. Such connections appeared in the city that had just been restored, which shows that the Chinese people have begun to act spontaneously, appearing in various roles in the economic tide.
"It's really the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. I can hardly see the trauma after the war!" Jiang Xiuli, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but sigh. Mu Yaping said: "The Japanese army massacred 300,000 people without iron in Nanjing. When I saw the majestic Zhongshan, I felt a little heavy. Frankly speaking, I shouldn't be disappointed, but the bloody facts had to make my heart thrill."[]
"We should remember this blood debt, and we will never forget it for generations!" Shaoqi also said sadly. His wife Jiang Xiuli said: "Aping, the crimes committed by the Japanese army are blood debts, so don't be upset. History has turned a new page, and you cannot always be silent in this emotion in the future. Especially your current status and identity will aggravate the spread of this hatred, and your thoughts will affect others."
Mu Yaping said: "Madam, I will grasp this degree well, but it does not mean that I will not settle the crimes of the Japanese army. There are injustices and debts, and the Japanese cannot let them go easily. This is my bottom line." Shaoqi agreed: "Mr. Mu is right. Punishing the Japanese is also to ensure that their descendants will not be ravaged for generations. If the Japanese want to learn from their lessons, they must be punished heavily."
Seeing that Shaoqi agreed with his ideas, Mu Yaping felt that his efforts in the past few days were not in vain. In the future, Mu Yaping must build an elite team, and the premise is that they must accept modern thinking, so that Mu Yaping's idea can be implemented smoothly. At present, how various domestic parties reach new consensus after the founding of the country is a serious issue facing Mu Yaping. Mu Yaping knows very well that politics is the most inhumane thing, but reality has to be faced.
Mu Yaping changed the topic and said: "Mr. Shaoqi, Nanjing has been restored. I want to ask you if our capital is still built in Nanjing?" Shaoqi said without hesitation: "Mr. Mu, I think the capital is not good to be built in Nanjing, it should be built in Peking." Mu Yaping asked: "Mr. Shaoqi, I want to hear your high theory?"
Shaoqi pondered for a moment and said, "The capital of Peiping is a conclusion reflected through the prism of history. In all dynasties, most of the war broke out in the north. The people in the north are fierce and brave, while the people in the south cherish their weakness and rationality. Especially the major disasters almost all occur in the northern regions, while the south is basically in good weather. To put it bluntly, the stability of the north and the stability of China. It was by no means accidental to establish the capital of Peiping in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so I suggest that it is appropriate to establish the capital of Peiping."
Mu Yaping was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Shaoqi, it is really a hero who has the same views. You said it is so good, the stability of the north and the stability of China. It seems that building the capital of Peiping is a strategic consideration, not a whim. I also tend to build the capital of Peiping." Jiang Xiuli asked worriedly, "Yapin, what if the Chairman disagrees?"
Mu Yaping said: "As the general trend is, his opinions can no longer influence the political situation, because China will be a democratic and legal society in the future, and the era of feudal monarchy and autocracy is over. The republic era advocated by Mr. Sun Yat-sen has truly arrived and is built in our hands. I am very confident that I will create a temporary new political pattern."
When Shaoqi saw Mu Yaping's wise and confident eyes, a different mood surged in his heart. It is a blessing for China to have a person like Mu Yaping in the future. Shaoqi made up his mind to realize the blueprint for a better future society drawn by Mr. Mu. This strategic stance that is beyond imagination is Mu Yaping, and no one can replace it.
It was already dusk when the passenger ship approached the Nanjing Pier. After staying in a hotel in Nanjing, Mu Yaping proposed to have a meal at a hotel. Shaoqi knew that Mu Yaping traveled was entirely self-paid and did not spend a penny on the government. It was understandable how Mu Yaping consumed it. He accepted that there was no psychological barrier, and Mu Yaping was not extravagant. Soon they had a meal in a good restaurant.
There were two tables in the private room, and several subordinates were dining at a small table. Mu Yaping and his wife and Shaoqi were dining at the big table. At the wine table, Mu Yaping talked about the history of Nanjing. When he was very serious, people came in the private room next door. The noise of Mu Yaping's conversation was interrupted, and the clear voice of the people next door came over. As the saying goes, there are ears in the partition walls, and this is not false at all.
"I said, "Brother, you can't make peace. You can't report the confiscated enemy and puppet property. Your position is poor, why do you become timid?" A duck's voice came. Then a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent voice came: "Brother, you don't know. Although the new Director Liu came from Yan'an, this person was appointed by Deputy Commander Mu. This person is a Communist Party and is merciless in greed. I dare not step beyond the line. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"
The duck's voice continued: "You know and I know this kind of thing, and I guarantee that it will be foolproof. At present, the enemy and puppet property in Nanjing is much like the stars in the sky. Just turn a blind eye and I will do the following." Jiangsu and Zhejiang said with an accent: "Brother! You are sending me to the guillotine! Now, the precepts issued by Deputy Commander Mu, anyone who violates them will be shot. My treatment is good at present, and I will not do it!"
The male duck voice sarcastically said, "You! You are begging for the golden rice bowl, and you will have no future in your life!" "You are Kong Xiangxi's cousin, why don't you work hard on him? The boss Kong Da was so stumped that he didn't take the opportunity to make a fuss." "Don't mention it, my cousin didn't know what was wrong with me. He not only didn't let me make a fortune, but also scolded me. I really don't understand, my cousin Jinben washes his hands." The voice of Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent came again: "Brother, I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first!"
Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Mr. Shaoqi, one is your subordinate, and the other is obviously Kong Xiangxi, go and invite the two of you!" The guard immediately stood up and walked to the next door. After a while, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and an obese guy walked in. The middle-aged man wearing glasses was shocked when he saw Shaoqi sitting in the private room.
"Director Liu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to come to Nanjing next door? Why didn't you notify us?" The man wearing glasses said respectfully. Shaoqi smiled and said, "I arrived this evening. I didn't have time to notify you, please don't mind." Mu Yaping saw that both of them were wearing Zhongshan suits, obviously government officials.
"It turns out that he is the famous Director Liu. I have been obsessed for a long time. Director Liu is visiting in a private manner!" The male duck bowed slightly to see him. Shaoqi smiled and said, "I can't go to Shanghai to private information. I'm passing by Nanjing!" At this time, Mu Yaping said, "I want to ask you, what official position do you hold in Nanjing?"
The male duck's voice turned his face and said arrogantly, "Who are you? What right do you have to know my official position!" At this time, a guard came up with a big mouth, then he pulled out a gun and pushed it on the male duck's head. The male duck's voice was dizzy when he was slapped, and then he found that the gun was pressed against his forehead. He was so scared that he didn't know what to do.
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing glasses found that Jiang Xiuli, who was sitting next to Mu Yaping, looked familiar. Ding Qing was shocked when she saw it and said, "Madam Mu, I have seen you. Could this be Deputy Commander Mu?" Mu Yaping waved his hand and asked the guard to go down, without denying or admitting, but turned his attention to the duck's voice again.
At this time, the male duck's throat was so scared that it collapsed on the ground. The guard scolded loudly: "Why are you mute when you ask me if you are asked?" "Deputy Commander Mu, Bei Zhi is the newly appointed Minister of Finance of Nanjing. Please forgive me for being disrespectful!" The male duck's throat turned pale and he was trembling all over. Mu Yaping said bluntly: "A person like you actually serves as the Minister of Finance of Nanjing, which is simply embarrassing to the government. I am now announcing the removal of your official position. If you go back to Chongqing, you will directly submit your resignation to your boss! Remember that I have seen me in Nanjing and I am not allowed to tell anyone, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!" "Yes, yes! Bei Zhi will return to Chongqing now!"
The duck's voice withdrew tremblingly, and the two of them seemed not their own. A guard followed him out, and he would inevitably beat him outside. Then Mu Yaping smiled and said to Shaoqi: "Mr. Shaoqi, your subordinate is good, I am very satisfied!" The middle-aged man wearing glasses was sweating profusely, obviously he was scared and said lightly: "Deputy Commander Mu, you dare not forget your teachings. You will never do anything greedy!"
Mu Yaping said: "You go! Don't tell anyone what happened today, and don't tell anyone about our whereabouts. We just passed by Nanjing to Shanghai, and just wanted to have a quiet tour in Nanjing!" "Deputy Commander Mu, Director Liu, the order of the humble master." After saying that, the middle-aged man with glasses took his leave, and he might not be able to fall asleep tonight.
After the guests left, Mu Yaping and Shaoqi met each other and couldn't help laughing. Shaoqi said, "Mr. Mu, it's so satisfying. No one will do this. Just be decisive and very dramatic!" Jiang Xiuli said with some regret: "It's quite exciting, but the dinner tonight was disturbed." Mu Yaping said, "This is a good thing! We found the problem!"
Mu Yaping continued: "Mr. Shaoqi, the war has just ended, and the officials in the Restoration District are inevitably mixed, with different quality and quality. You can comprehensively sort out the officials in office and clean up all those who fail. Just like the borer just now, one was found to be cleaned up. The government image cannot make these people corrupt."
Jiang Xiuli said: "Why not review it nationwide? Isn't this more thorough?" Mu Yaping smiled and said: "No! If you hear the wind, some people will clamp their tails and behave as humans, which will be more harmful in the future. Now is the time to fully expose these people, and we can slowly close the net. Mr. Shaoqi, I authorize you to inspect officials in Wuhan, Nanjing and Shanghai, remember not to be ruthless."
This small episode may have brought purpose to the private visits on the cover. They then visited many places in Nanjing City and mastered a large amount of first-hand materials. During this period, Mu Yaping did not forget to visit the scenic spots and historical sites in Nanjing.
When we left Nanjing, the weather began to be cold, and the season irresistibly entered November. The cold wind from the north swept across the river, and the small passenger ship began to sail east again. There seemed to be more freighters and wooden ships on the river. The golden waterway of the Yangtze River did not reduce its heat due to the arrival of cold, but the water transportation became even more prosperous.
After leaving Nanjing, Shaoqi rarely went to the deck because after arriving in Shanghai, he had to expose his identity and take office. Therefore, he hid in the cabin to sort out his experiences with Mu Yaping's travel. He had to record many of the things that Mu Yaping said and constantly motivated himself.
