    Tang Shouqian was shocked: "Do you, Baixi, plan to patrol around or even visit abroad? Now that the military has not stopped, people's livelihood is difficult, the world is in turmoil, and there are emergencies in all directions, we should have kept it quiet, governed by inaction, and rested with the people. What's more, the Kuomintang is now  The remnants are rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the remnants of Beiyang are densely populated in North China. If there are unscrupulous people, they can follow the example of Bolang Zhizhi (Zhang Liang ordered people to assassinate Qin Shihuang with large iron vertebrae at Bolangsha) and carry out Yu Rang's move (Yu Rang ambush under the bridge to assassinate Qin Shihuang)  Zhao Xiangzi), what should we do? It is said that 'a son of rich wealth cannot sit down in the palace'. Baixi, your whole body is not only related to the success or failure of the New China Party, but also related to the fate of the country. How can you risk your life so easily?  ?¡±

    It¡¯s no wonder that Tang Shouqian was surprised. Among the hundreds of emperors in China throughout the ages, there were only a few who went out on hunting tours to enshrine the throne or went to various places in the capital in the name of observing the people¡¯s sentiments. However, no one had ever visited a foreign country.  According to historical records, the first time a Chinese state leader visited a foreign country as a "head of state" was Chang Kaishen. That was from February 4 to 21, 1942. He paid a state visit to India before attending the Cairo Conference.  Met with Gandhi, Nehru and others.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough before this, Sun Yat-sen, who served as the interim president of the Republic of China, traveled overseas several times and discussed with the Japanese Prime Minister and others the plan of "Sino-Japanese cooperation to save (gua) and save (fen) the Republic of China"; Chang Kaishen also  In 1923, he was appointed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen to visit the Soviet Union in the name of the leader of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's delegation; perhaps it can also be traced back to the early travels of Asia and Europe by Prime Minister Zhou, Taiwei Zhu, Deng Taizong and others.  But these people were not heads of state when they went abroad!

    Yang Du also said: "Now that the president is weak and the Congress exists in name only, Baixi, although you are called the Prime Minister, you are actually the supreme head of state. Once you go out, the place will be crowded if the security is tight. The cost is huge; if you drive lightly, you will be easily taken advantage of by the underlings.  The disaster is not a small one. The fact that he was stabbed three times in the Northeast that day is a lesson learned from the past. So Baixi, you'd better be careful when going out!"

    Hearing Yang Du mention the incident in the Northeast three or four years ago, Sun Yuanqi seemed to feel that the injured area was still aching, but he still shook his head and said: "The assassination in the Northeast was a pure accident. How can we stop eating because of choking? Besides, now  This is a democratic and republican society, where you are the prime minister in the morning and a passerby in the evening. Why sit in the nine-layered palace and pretend to be profound and mysterious?"

    Tang Shouqian advised again: "But now that the world has been settled, government affairs are complicated, and everything needs to be decided by you, how can you just walk away? Moreover, it has only been more than two years since the Qing Emperor abdicated, and the country's attitude toward the emperor is very high.  His views still adhere to the norms of the imperial power era, and he believes that the emperor should be diligent and frugal, be kind and loving to the people, abandon selfish desires, and abstain from wandering. If Baixi often visits the capital for inspections, I am afraid that public opinion will have negative words!"

    Sun Yuanqi knew that changing this stereotype would not happen overnight.  At the moment, he had no choice but to give in slightly: "Of course, Sun will carefully weigh the relationship between government affairs and inspections before leaving the capital. He will not just leave like the Yellow Crane and never return, nor will he be as happy as Liu Chan. He also invites Zhe Weng,  Don't worry, Xizi." After a pause, he said: "The so-called 'invite in' includes not only inviting people from various provinces to come to the capital. It also includes inviting foreigners into China. In the past few decades, the country has been poor and weak.  In order to prevent the prying eyes of Western and Eastern countries, foreigners were strictly prohibited from doing business, studying, mining and building factories in mainland China, lest they take away the good things when they saw them.

    "What good things are there in China now, I'm afraid foreigners know better than we ourselves. There is no need to be wary of anything anymore. And a war will break out in Europe soon, and the troops of all countries will stay at home. The foreigners have lost their strong ships and cannons to rely on.  It's like having our spine broken and unable to be strong. We can finally stand up straight and deal with foreigners. Objectively speaking, foreigners still have a lot to learn from in the fields of industry, agriculture and other fields. Let's invite them in.  , and by asking them for advice and learning calmly, we can avoid many detours!"

    Tang Shouqian said: "When Baixi invited foreigners in, he just wanted to learn from the foreigners and gain skills to control them. This is easy to understand. But why should people from all provinces be invited to the capital?"

    Sun Yuanqi replied: "Didn't we just mention that China's current technology is backward, people's livelihood is difficult, people are not enlightened, and people's morale is low? So I can't help but think of the first Nanyang Persuasion held in Nanjing in April and May of the second year of Xuantong (1910).  At that time, it attracted nearly 300,000 spectators, with a total transaction volume of tens of millions of silver dollars. It was highly recognized and highly praised by inspection groups from the United States, Japan and other countries, which not only opened the eyes of the Chinese people, but also opened their eyes to our country.  The development of modern industry also played a huge role in promoting it.

    "I remember that the newspaper at that time commented that the Quan Ye Conference was 'the country's great watchmaker, a great industrial school for businessmen, a great advertising venue for products, and a ship and railway transporting domestic goods to foreign countries'. 'One day of watching the conference is better than ten years of studying.'"  ', which shows that its influence is far-reaching. Since Duanwuqiao (Duanfang) and Zhang Qianli (Zhang Renjun) both thought of setting up a persuasion meeting to encourage the establishment of industry and commerce, can't we follow suit and hold a national persuasion meeting in the capital??Expo?  "

    Tang Shouqian is a famous industrialist in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Naturally, he was deeply impressed by the Nanyang Entrepreneurship Association, which was so famous four years ago: "I remember that the Encouragement Association lasted for nearly half a year, and the entire Jiangnan area was a sensation. If we can now  If Baixi comes forward to organize this nationwide business promotion meeting, and then invites companies from the United States and even Europe to participate in the exhibition, it will definitely have a strong stimulation effect on the development of industry and commerce in our country!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "It is expected that Europe will be in chaos in the second half of this year. It is estimated that the great powers such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy will not be able to attend the exhibition. However, now that American industry and commerce has caught up from behind, it is enough for them to participate! Moreover, the chaos in Europe will be harmful to us. Industry and commerce is also a good thing, because countries are busy with wars, and the dumping of foreign goods that previously put severe pressure on our domestic industry will definitely be alleviated; in addition, during the war, the warring countries expanded their arms and prepared for war, and their civilian industries were reduced accordingly, which will cause a shortage of daily necessities, which will lead to urgent needs A large amount of textiles, flour, tung oil, bristle, matches and other goods are imported from China, which also provides favorable conditions for the development of my country's local industry.

    "In order to support the rapid development of national industry, the cabinet will also provide strong support to enterprises that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood and have strong demand during the war, including introducing policies such as tax exemptions, low-interest loans, government equity participation, and incentives. Huaxi Bank will provide some business operations  Difficult and smaller enterprises should be integrated to make full use of the opportunity of the European War to seize domestic and foreign markets, and fundamentally solve the problems of domestic gentry¡¯s over-reliance on land and difficulty in settling the surplus rural labor force.¡±

    Tang Shouqian stroked his palm and said: "This is the best! If Huaxi Bank does something, Baixi might as well tell me that the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have the money and ability to contribute, and I guarantee their full support!"

    After thanking Tang Shouqian, Sun Yuanqi continued: "We not only need to hold business promotion meetings, but we can also hold academic exchange meetings, border customs and folk exhibitions, national sports games, etc. In particular, sports games can not only enhance the physical fitness of the Chinese people, but also get rid of the 'sick man of East Asia'  'The ridicule, and it can unite the people's hearts and promote their ambitions, so it is most worthy of being held vigorously. I remember that in the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), the Frenchman Coubertin and 79 representatives from 12 countries decided to establish the International Olympic Committee and pioneer  Olympic Movement, and held the first Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. At that time, the International Olympic Committee sent a sincere invitation to the Qing government, hoping that China could send a delegation to participate in this event.

    "It's a pity that the adults and gentlemen at that time didn't know what the Olympic Movement was at all. Based on the principle of 'one thing is worse than one thing less', they completely ignored the existence of the invitation letter. So China just missed the first modern Olympic Games. In After that, the International Olympic Games were held every four years, but China encountered major natural and man-made disasters almost every time. For example, the second Olympic Games in 1900 coincided with the Gengzi Revolution, the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entering Beijing, and the Empress's hunting expedition to the west. , naturally had no time to pay attention; in the third period of 1904, Japan and Russia fought fiercely in the Northeast, and the British army invaded Lhasa, Tibet; in the fourth period of 1908, Emperor Guangxu and the Queen Mother of the West died successively; in the fifth period of 1912, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China During the initial period of great change, people were panicked, and no one cared about this issue.

    "When the Fourth Olympic Games was held in the 34th year of Guangxu's reign (1908), a magazine in Tianjin called "Tianjin Youth" raised three shocking questions: When will China send an athlete to participate in the Olympics? China  When can China send a team to participate in the Olympic Games? When can China host an Olympic Games on its own? Participating in and hosting sports games is not only a matter of people, money and efforts, but also about national courage and national dignity. Maybe we can¡¯t host it yet  One Olympic Games, and the sixth Olympic Games expected to be held the year after next is likely to be stopped due to the European War, so can we start training athletes now to participate in the seventh Olympic Games six years later?"

    Tang Shouqian said: "I remember that when Nanjing held the Nanyang Entrepreneurship Conference, it held a national sports meeting. Why don't we follow this example and hold another national sports meeting?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "That's what Sun means! Of course, although the sports meeting held in Nanjing was called 'National', there were actually only 140 participants, and most of them were college, middle and primary school students. There was more entertainment than competition. We here  The National Games, held in Beijing for the first time, will be sponsored by companies such as Peking Iron Works, Hanyang Iron Works, and Zhiyong Pharmaceutical. The bonuses will be generous and it will not cost a penny of public funds. However, it must have a wider scope, greater momentum, and more projects.  More, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening the national fitness and uniting the people of the country!"
