Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Chapter 1120: Serving the Country with Loyalty

Zhao Lingjun is Zhao Chuanxin's daughter, so the imprint of Chinese customs on her cannot be erased.

In previous years, Zhao Chuanxin would go back to the Netherlands to spend the New Year with her, even though it was only the two of them in Noordeinde who spent the New Year, and Wilhelmina would just go along for fun.

This year, Zhao Lingjun was able to come to Lubin Prefecture to celebrate the New Year.

At noon, Zhao Lingjun went to Yao Bing's house for lunch.

She sat cross-legged in front of the table on the kang. In front of her was a wine cup filled with the compound supplement prepared by Benjamin for her, while in the wine cups of Yao Bing's grandfather and father were boiling pots.

Zhao Lingjun picked up the wine cup and said, "Uncle, sir, let's go."

Yao Xingyuan grinned so much that his ears were raised, and the others were also laughing uncontrollably.

After drinking the whole bowl, Yao Xingyuan and the others grinned, and Zhao Lingjun also grinned.

"Hiss...ha..."

Zhao Lingjun put down the wine cup, and suddenly remembered something, reaching into his arms: "Oh, it's New Year's Day, I brought a gift when I came."

Then she took out a bottle of wine from her arms, two bottles of wine...

How did you take it out?

After six bottles of wine, there was cheese: "In addition to the windmill country, we in the Netherlands also have a nickname, the cheese kingdom. This cheese has very little water and is produced in Aidam. In the Middle Ages, it was an exclusive tribute to the Salimarg court."

"Oh, then we also enjoyed the royal delicacy."

The little person, with red lips and white teeth, looks like a porcelain doll, but he has the heroic spirit of a person from outside the Great Wall.

Who couldn't love it?

After dinner, Zhao Lingjun went to visit Yao Jia, Zhang Shouzeng and the Five Wings General Manager, begging her father to take her to travel around the Hulunbuir grassland.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lubinfu Theater opened.

Zhao Chuanxin took his family to a concert.

Xiao Ling'e came on stage and sang a grassland song that Zhao Chuanxin had plagiarized. Her accent and voice gave the audience goose bumps.

Yao Bing's friend Kudriash also went on stage to sing.

He sang the ending song composed by Zhao Chuanxin for "Kong Er's Anger".

He was one of the original singers and was responsible for singing the harmony part.

But this time he sang the English version.

Despite his young age, his singing was pure and dreamy, and his voice was as ethereal as if it flowed from a stream in the woods, which won him a lot of applause.

He was Li Shutong's direct disciple.

Maozi’s artistic talent is indeed amazing!

After returning home from the concert, Liu Baogui called and said, "Chuan Xin, come back tomorrow for an interview on the radio station."

Transistor radios sold well, and signal towers were built from outside the Great Wall to near the capital city inside the Great Wall.

Seeing that the radio station in Lugang Town was in full swing, Yao Jia was also planning to set up a radio station. Lubin Prefecture had more advantages than Lugang Town. It had songs, operas, Peking operas, as well as many creators and singers.

Zhao Chuanxin promised Liu Baogui that he would only have two chances, and this was the last one.

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."

……

Yuan Weiting could see Zhao Chuanxin implying something about him in the newspaper every other day.

Apart from calling him by his first name, all that needed to be said was said.

Lubin Prefecture made another movie, which was a big hit. The content and the name of the movie were all cursing him and the warlords everywhere.

Yuan Weiting thought about it and realized that the only thing you, Zhao Chuanxin, can do is rely on newspapers to be your mouthpiece.

He simply enacted the Newspaper Ordinance Act and began to restrict freedom of speech.

All major newspapers, you can only speak when you are allowed to. If you are not allowed to speak, shut up, otherwise don't blame the government for closing it down.

Warlords everywhere responded.

Who wants to bear the stigma?

"Internet Gazette" and "Lugang Town Journal" were so bold that they thought they had backgrounds and backers, so they continued to publish related content regardless of the consequences, and their sales soared at one point.

When Yuan Weiting learned about this, he discussed it with his right-hand men.

Then an order was issued to the provinces.

All newsstands, bookstores and other places that dare to sell these two newspapers will be banned.

Even newsboys were not allowed to sell these two newspapers, otherwise they would be whipped.

If I can’t take care of your newspaper, can I take care of other things?

The two newspapers had no choice but to restrain themselves.

Yuan Weiting finally had a peaceful year.

At this time, Duan Zhigui, Yuan's number one bootlicker, sent someone to deliver a radio.

"This is fashionable stuff. I listen to it every day. There are singers, storytellers, operas, and even dramas..."

Yuan Weiting opened it and found that it was true.

The woman's sung voice in a hushed tone made Yuan Weiting start to have wild thoughts.

He is a lecherous guy.

Judging from the noise, the little boy must be of good appearance.

Yuan Weiting likes it very much.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Yuan Weiting turned on the radio as usual.

The radio station starts broadcasting three times every day between 5:30 and 7:00 in the morning, 11:00 to 1:00 in the afternoon, and 5:00 to 10:00 in the evening.

The most exciting one is the third game.

"Hello, dear listeners, I am Niu Hutu."

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Kongkong."

The host also has a stage name.

"Today, we have invited Zhao Chuanxin, the governor of Lubin Prefecture, to come to you."

"The special guests come from all walks of life, including the industrial representative Mr. Niu Hanzhang, the academic representative Mr. Zhang Binglin, and the singer Ms. Rachel Kervis."

Yuan Weiting was stunned and hurriedly asked someone to come in: "Isn't Zhang Taiyan in prison? How can he get outside the border?"

The subordinate was confused and said he would check it out.

Yuan Weiting said coldly: "Go check it out quickly."

Then keep listening.

Then Zhao Chuanxin's voice rang out: "Rachel, Happy New Year. It's been a long time since we last met. You are still as stunning as ever."

Rachel Kvis replied in fluent Chinese: "Zhao, I think you still have your charm."

There was laughter coming from the radio.

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "Hello, Mr. Taiyan."

"Hello, Governor Zhao."

"Han Zhang."

"uncle."

There was a cry of surprise over the radio.

Obviously no one expected that Niu Hanzhang would call Zhao Chuanxin uncle.

This is the characteristic of the radio station. There are listeners on site for every broadcast.

Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he exclaimed in amazement, sometimes he yelled, adding atmosphere to the broadcast.

At this time, Yuan Weiting was able to confirm that the voice was indeed Zhang Binglin's.

Then the host Chen Kongkong said, "I heard that the capital has announced that they will soon promulgate the "Regulations on Commendation" and order the spring and autumn to be the days for worshipping Confucius. What do you think of this?"

"I..." Zhang Binglin was about to speak.

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him directly: "Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, let's not talk about politics. This is the first and last time, so let me share my opinion."

He continued: "The purpose of the Regulations on Commendation is best to commend those who have made contributions to the country and the people, or those who have spoken out, or expelled foreign powers. It should inspire the present, be recorded in history, and serve as a warning to future generations! If it is established to maintain the moral code, then... tui! Damn it, whoever does this will have a son with no skin!"

There was an uproar.

Zhang Binglin was stunned.

Zhang Binglin, also known by his courtesy name Taiyan.

He was originally imprisoned by Yuan Weiting. In order to prepare for broadcasts and various academic conferences, Liu Baogui was so desperate that he sent someone to secretly "steal" Zhang Binglin out.

Yuan Weiting still doesn’t know.

Zhang Binglin not only dared to scold Yuan Weiting, but also scolded Sun Gongwu, saying that they were birds of a feather.

But after all, no one is as straightforward and vulgar as Zhao Chuanxin.

Compared to Zhao Chuanxin, what he said was not really an insult.

Yuan Weiting in the capital was trembling all over.

Wasn't he planning to promulgate the "Regulations on Commendation" in order to uphold the moral code and ethics?

Zhang Taiyan was about to speak again: "I..."

But he was interrupted by Zhao Chuanxin again: "Also, about worshipping Confucius. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other, and it was an era of the most brilliant and splendid thought and culture. The most prominent ones were Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, and Military Science. The Confucianism of today is completely different from that time. It has changed since the Han Dynasty and has become a tool for emperors to rule the people and make them ignorant."

There was another exclamation at the scene.

That’s so bold.

Zhang Binglin's attitude towards Confucianism was inconsistent.

At this time, he was a fierce general who criticized Confucianism.

When he got older, he changed his mind again.

Many people don't understand why this is.

In fact, it is very normal and is related to the depth of thought and life experience.

So, as soon as Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, Zhang Binglin couldn't help but say a few words.

Niu Hutu asked curiously, "Why did Governor Zhao say that?"

Just as Zhang Binglin was about to speak, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him again: "I am not against Confucianism blindly. I am against those who abuse Confucianism and fool the people. Every doctrine has its mistakes and reasons. But now there is a small group of people who keep telling you about monarch-monarch, minister-minister, father-father, son-son every day. Do you know why? It's because the scum has surfaced, and this small group of people are still dreaming of being emperors. Behind the phrase monarch-monarch, minister-minister, father-father, son-son, there is a saying of Duke Jing of Qi - the monarch is not a monarch, the minister is not a minister, the father is not a father, and the son is not a son. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. If the ruler is incompetent and unjust, then the people should overthrow him. When someone emphasizes the phrase monarch-monarch, minister-minister, father-father, son-son to you, you must remember to keep the following sentence in mind. If the person in power does not do well, damn him, overthrow him!"

There was total silence.

Zhang Binglin was dumbfounded.

Niu Hanzhang was speechless.

The two hosts were speechless.

Only Rachel Kvis's eyes were almost tearful when she looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

Chen Kongkong asked cautiously: "General Zhao, can I say something that is taboo?"

"Zhao, it's the 1900s now, and you're still talking about taboos? Just say it if you have something to say."

Chen Kongkong smiled awkwardly: "Captain Zhao is also... um... a manager. When you say that, aren't you worried..."

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "Only those who are guilty and inferior are sensitive and worried. What do I have to be afraid of? You know the Titanic, right?"

"know."

"The Titanic hit an iceberg. Do you think it had something to do with the driver or the passengers?"

"The one who drives the boat."

"If there is gold and power on the iceberg, and the boat driver wants to risk hitting the iceberg and get close to it, and the passengers overturn the boat driver and replace him with another one, do you think the passengers are at fault?"

"Uh...that's right!"

The audience laughed.

And Yuan Weiting in the capital was already sweating profusely!

His thoughts were like this: That girl Zhao Chuanxin, you are harming others without benefiting yourself...

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about politics, let's talk about something else."

He didn't let Zhang Binglin and others speak, not because he had an excessive desire to express himself, but because these things could easily offend Yuan Weiting, and Zhao Chuanxin didn't want them to be killed because of their remarks today.

In fact, it is protecting them.

Zhao Chuanxin himself is not afraid.

Niu Hutu was flipping through the written manuscript in distress.

What nonsense.

This disrupted the rhythm, but fortunately the show was quite good.

They usually try to figure out the effect of the program based on the reaction of the audience.

Niu Hutu didn't say anything for more than ten seconds, and he and Chen Kongkong were sweating on their foreheads.

Niu Hutu was not really stupid after all. His eyes lit up and he stopped reading by rote: "General Zhao, you said that the ancient classics have both right and wrong. Do you think that the Tao Te Ching is wrong?"
