Pei Yuanqi saw that Li Junwei had this attitude, so he agreed and felt even more relaxed.

In the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, its policies have been open and comprehensive, mainly in terms of development and immigration. Although Li Jun Westbrook is in charge of affairs at home, because he has been presided over the imperial foreign strategy overseas for a long time, in fact, a series of foreign imperial government agencies such as the Ministry of Overseas Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all his voice-overs. A series of policy policies are completely in line with the strategy led by Li Junwei. Only in places like Nanyang, where Li Junwei cannot take care of it.

But since Li Junwei returned, his foreign strategy has become more and more delicate, especially the work of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, which is more organized, and a series of institutions and regulations have been established or reformed immediately.

Even Pei Yuanqi, he actually couldn't know what Li Junwei was thinking. What Li Junwei did now was actually to avoid the situation of independence and establishment of a country in overseas territories in the future.

It’s okay to have African colonies, but some places, especially North America, are important attention.

"Encoding, you have been back for a long time. You have worked in the cabinet for so long. How did you cooperate with Zhao Wenting?" Li Junwei asked on his own initiative.

After Pei Yuanqi returned, he went directly to the cabinet to serve as deputy prime minister. Compared with the past, there are also traces to follow. Zhao Junsu made contributions to the development of America, but when he came back, he was awarded a title and then entered the cabinet to serve as deputy prime minister.

But everyone knows that Pei Yuanqi, the deputy minister, is completely different. He is the emperor's confidant and was originally used to check and balance Prime Minister Zhao Wenting.

"Zhao Wenting is a person who knows the current affairs very well. Although we have some bumps and bumps, he can still cooperate with me in the overall situation. You also know that the emperor likes balance, so although our cooperation is not pleasant, it is absolutely not in opposition." Pei Yuanqi pondered the words for a moment and said.

"The emperor is also quite satisfied with Zhao Wenting. I also checked him a little, and it is considered appropriate." Li Junwei said.

Pei Yuanqi realized that this was not simple, so he asked, "Do you have any arrangements for the Prime Minister?"

Li Junwei nodded: "Yes. I'm going to hold a national sports meeting."

Pei Yuanqi scratched his head a little when he heard this: "This is not easy to do."

The Empire has not held a national sports meeting. The earliest national sports meeting was held in the 30th year of the Empire. Although the Empire announced its success in that sports meeting, it was actually not successful at all. Not to mention anything else, there were no athletes from the two provinces of Western Australia and East Australia, which made this sports meeting not so complete.

But in fact, not the two provinces did not send athletes to participate in the competition. In fact, the two provinces of Western Australia and East Australia were very well prepared and selected a group of outstanding athletes from the province early to prepare to show their style in Shenjing. However, they encountered a shipwreck on the road. On the way north along the east coast, the cruise ship hit a reef and ran aground on an uninhabited island in the Solomon Islands. During this period, small boats were built and out to contact each other, but they all ended in failure.

By the 33rd year of the empire, a fleet of undersea telegraph cables arrived here, the athletes had a large number of children. There were only 170 athletes, coaches and crew members. Except for those who died in shipwrecks and those who died of illness during the period, after counting them, there were 178 people, and more than 20 babies were wearing grass skirts, just like savages.

When the Imperial Navy sent ships to rescue him, nearly 300 people came up because many male athletes and coaches got married and had children with local indigenous women.

This also caused many social problems. For example, some coaches originally had families and were wandered on deserted islands. They thought they would never go back in this life, so they reorganized their families with indigenous women. Some people insisted on being single, but by the time they returned home, their wives had already remarried with their children.

Obviously, that National Games was unsuccessful, otherwise such a competition would not have been held again.

After that, the so-called national sports meet became a zoning system, with only some quantifiable events for national competitions, such as sprinting and long-distance running. Everyone ran in their respective areas and achieved results after running. Then the whole country was compared. It was considered who would use less time and be the champion. Because at the beginning, it was the referee of each place, so athletes who ran for more than 11 seconds in the provincial sports meet appeared. At the national sports meet, they could run for ten seconds at one time.

This creates serious unfairness, and events such as football are not played at all. In order to avoid the alienation between overseas provinces and domestic provinces, even if the provinces in China have the ability to play competitions, they are forced to be divided into three districts: the southern district, the northern district and the southwest district.

"I will solve the technical problems. The key is whether your cabinet is willing to cooperate," said Li Junwei.

Pei Yuanqi then fully understood that Li Junwei asked himself, not whether he could do it, but whether he was willing to do it. The reason for this was that Li Junwei didn't want to come forward.

This is related to his consistent and political self-discipline. Overseas, he does not touch military power, and at home, he does not touch internal affairs.

Although since the 19th year of the Empire, all the overseas large-scale overseas conquests and developments were led by Li Junwei, his relationship with the army has always been quite a distance. He would boldly use people and promoted a considerable number of people, but the people he used were all from the emperor's servant room and the Zhongting in advance. It can be said that the people promoted were all the emperor's people.

Judging from the results, Li Junwei also wants to be famous but not merit. Over the years, the rewards he has received are just a fief of King Yu, who is nominally his fiefdom, but is actually completely managed by the Ministry of Overseas Affairs.

Li Junwei even deliberately avoided military command and handed over a large number of direct commands to the people below. For example, when King Yu went west to expand his territory on the mainland on a large scale. On the surface, King Yu led the army and advanced all the way, but in fact, Li Junwei only lets a substitute on the front line, and he personally enjoys his happiness behind him.

After returning to China, he basically did not participate in internal affairs. This was under the control of the cabinet. Among the ministers of the former meeting, Pei Yuanqi was also in charge of the situation. He was responsible for the external aspects. On the contrary, after returning to China, he could manage the army at will, but what he did was also to do was to train, reform, and eliminate such thankless things.

Things like holding the National Games are obviously internal affairs. Although overseas territorial participation in non-provincial provinces requires cooperation from the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, internal affairs are still the main focus. Li Junwei wants to do it, but also wants the cabinet to take the lead.

"You mean to let Zhao Wenting take charge of this matter. He is the Prime Minister." Pei Yuanqi said.

"But this is a very shameful thing. And you can tell him that I will help him solve the support needed for the trip between overseas and Shin Kyung. Australia, South Africa, North Sea, America, and these places. I will let the navy use warships to escort the cruise ships." Li Junwei said.

Pei Yuanqi put himself in his shoes from Zhao Wenting's perspective and thought about it, and felt that it was a bit possible. Li Junwei said: "Do you think Zhao Wenting may not be willing?"

"At least I'm not sure." Pei Yuanqi said that Li Junwei was a little embarrassed. If the Prime Minister was unwilling, would he have to let Pei Yuanqi do it? But in the cabinet, Pei Yuanqi was the busiest. Pei Yuanqi smiled and said, "Third brother, I will teach you the method I will just keep Zhao Wenting agree directly, and he is full of energy."

"What method?"

Pei Yuanqi said: "Do it in the name of the old man. Things that the Supreme Emperor values ​​must be a big deal."

Li Junwei's eyes lit up. Although Li Mingxun had not been in charge of the government for many years, the emperor and King Yu valued filial piety, and the fact that they could win the favor of the Supreme Emperor could make the two of them happy.

"This is easy to deal with." Li Junwei agreed immediately.

Pei Yuanqi asked: "What are you doing for organizing the National Games?"

Li Junwei said without hesitation: "Promoting communication between overseas territories and local areas, promoting exchanges and communication at home and abroad is more important than anything else."

"There are a set of official words." Pei Yuanqi quipped.

In fact, what Li Junwei did was the same purpose to promote the empire's control and integration of overseas territories. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to carry out from many aspects. In terms of economy, the people in overseas territories cannot suffer losses, and they cannot think that they are colonies. In terms of politics, the people in overseas territories must be given the same political power as those in the provinces in the country. The same is true in culture. After Pei Yuanqi returned to China, he rectified the education system, the focus was to ensure that any province in the empire was used in the Northern Mandarin.

The same is true for Li Junwei's proposal to hold a national sports meeting. This large-scale sports meeting is very topical in itself and has great significance for local people to understand overseas and overseas people to understand the local people.

You should know that the economic base determines the superstructure and whether there is centrifugal force overseas has a lot to do with the economy. However, some overseas territories are destined to have little connection with the local area, and there are still many competition in industries.

Especially in the Americas and South Africa, American provinces rely heavily on Latin America for raw materials and markets, and rely on technology and other aspects on the empire. North American fiefdoms rely on Europe. Compared with the local area and Europe, the economic ties are naturally closer to Europe.

Of course, it is also possible to use compulsory means to cut off this connection. In fact, this is the case with European countries. They strictly restrict foreign trade in overseas colonies, cannot trade with foreign countries, cannot trade with foreign colonies, and even cannot trade with other colonies of their own country, and can only trade with local governments.

The empire has the ability to do this, but it is a huge harm to the interests of the people in overseas territories and will only make the overseas territories more disinterested.

Therefore, when the mainstream economy cannot be formed, we must make more efforts in politics and culture. In the past, we mainly focused on politics. Now that Li Junwei has time and energy, he naturally has to express his culture.

Pei Yuanqi came up with a great idea. He conveyed Li Junwei's meaning to Zhao Wenting and made it clear that the Supreme Emperor wanted to see an imperial movement event. Zhao Wenting immediately became full of energy and took the initiative to find Li Junwei.

There is no reason. What kind of sports meeting is the Emperor likes? Zhao Wenting definitely doesn't know. He can only ask the Emperor's son, but he can't ask the Emperor, so he can only ask Li Junwei for advice.

"No, your plan is not possible." Zhao Wenting arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion and first came up with a plan. Li Junwei did not say anything about other things, such as facilities and entertainment. Li Junwei had a lot of opinions on the competition.

Zhao Wenting was here to ask for advice, so he immediately listened attentively. Li Junwei said: "These competitions are not very close to the people who are happy with each other."

Li Junwei was actually prepared for a long time. He first focused on researching the competition events of the first National Games and found a big problem. The competition events were very single, mostly track and field events, and there were a lack of collective events. Many events were not universal and competitive, so they considered too much viewing.

For example, at the first national sports meeting, there were too many horse-related events, from horse racing to horse dancing (ancient dressage), such events were mostly performed in nature and were very popular, but there were too few audiences. Although many horses were raised in various parts of the empire, most of them were for agricultural and pastoral purposes. The horses and horse dancing for racing were carefully selected. In essence, these events were played by nobles and rich people.

There are also some projects that will cause separation among the people at home and abroad, the most prominent of which is the shooting project.

You should know that all provinces in China do not allow guns to be carried. This principle has been adhered to for many years. It is very strict to ban guns on a large scale. But it is different overseas, especially in provinces such as America and South Africa, where border areas and indigenous people live together, and are places where laws are missing. Without a gun, personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

Moreover, Li Junwei investigated that most of the participants in the National Games over the years were urban residents, and a large number of them were powerful and wealthy families, and the lower-level people could not participate at all.

If it is just a sports meeting for the upper class, it will not have that significance.

Li Junwei told Zhao Wenting: "In terms of projects, you should make a big fuss, and you don't have to be limited to one place. I found that all your projects only consider whether Shenjing and several surrounding cities can be completed. This is very wrong. If you want to do it this time, you should do it largely. Ice and snow projects and water projects must also be launched. It is not limited to Shenjing. Beijing, Tianjin or northern provinces can also participate. Not to mention anything else, the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is almost completed, allowing overseas people to arrive in Shenjing and take the train to Beijing. Isn't that demonstrating the strength of the empire?

In addition, these competitions are just horse racing, but you are still racing camels. You may not have ridden a camel, it is very smelly. Why not compete in bicycles? This way ordinary citizens and workers can participate and promote the development of the imperial bicycle industry. Why not do it?"
