Li Zhaoyu was a little lost when he left the palace. During this period, because his younger brother Li Zhaoming went to India to marry Li Zhaocheng, there were many things at home, so Li Zhaoyu mostly lived at home. However, after talking to his father in the study today, Li Zhaoyu went to his apartment to hide for a leisure time.

When he arrived at the apartment, Li Zhaoyu had originally wanted to talk to his friend Li Yongzhong, but he saw him packing up his greetings.

"Where are you going, what happened?" Li Zhaoyu asked.

"I heard from the newspaper that a worker riot occurred in a match factory in Xinxiang, Henan. I want to go and see it. The eldest son was not busy with housework these days, so I don't need me," said Li Yongzhong.

Li Yongzhong is older than Li Zhaoyu and is a further study at Imperial University. However, because of Li Zhaoyu's relationship, his time needs to be consistent with this eldest son, so the time has been extended. However, Li Yongzhong has never been a free person. During his further study, he joined a newspaper as a part-time reporter. In fact, he relied on this identity to do more social investigations.

In fact, just as the Emperor and King Yu were worried, Li Zhaoyu regarded the capitalists as enemies and was unwilling to deal with them. But there was also something that reassured the Emperor and King Yu, that is, Li Zhaoyu had a friend named Li Yongzhong.

Although the book "Capital No Motherland" written by Li Yongzhong is simple in writing, its meaning and connotation are thought-provoking. Once published, it caused an uproar in the empire. Some of the passages and stories were even directly compiled into the textbooks of the empire's junior and high schools, and it was a must-choose topic for civil servant exams.

Li Zhaoyu asked: "When will you set out and how long will you come back?"

"The ticket is ten o'clock, and there are more than 40 minutes left. It's hard to say when you will come back, but it won't last more than a month. If you have any questions, you can send me a telegram, the eldest son." Li Yongzhong said.

The most convenient way to get to Henan is to get on the boat from the inland port of the Huangpu River, take a steamboat to Nanjing, and then take a train from Nanjing to Henan.

"Okay, go, be careful, bring the security bureau sign, it will be more convenient if you have any problems." Li Zhaoyu said.

Li Yongzhong nodded, raised his prepared salute and left, but within a moment, he came back and asked, "Young Master, are you in trouble?"

"Nothing big."

"That's something. I have asked someone to exchange me for the afternoon boat ticket, so that it will take three and a half hours." Li Yongzhong put the things in his hand on the table, which were cooked food I bought when I went out, and a small bottle of wine. He had already discovered that Li Zhaoyu was not in a very good mood. He might have to drink to drown his sorrows, but he couldn't drink too much.

Cooked food wrapped in oil paper was placed on the table, and Li Yongzhong poured a small cup for each of them.

"Today in the palace, my father asked me about Luo Qingluan. How did you deal with her?" Li Zhaoyu took a sip and asked.

Li Yongzhong sighed and said, "Young Master, I'm not good at these things. What else can I do? It just shows your identity, and said that you two are not suitable, exactly the same as what you said to her."

"It seems that she has gone to the palace." Li Zhaoyu said.

Li Yongzhong had no choice but to: "Young Master, I can't do anything to kill someone and silence me."

"What are you thinking about? How can I think so? I want to ask, how can I completely cut off contact with her?"

Li Yongzhong smiled: "You are making things difficult for me, I don't understand love."

Li Yongzhong is indeed not good at this. His wife is a childhood sweetheart when she was a teenager. When she followed Li Zhaoyu through the mainland and passed by her hometown, the two sides met. You were not married and I was not married, so they renewed their relationship. His love life was very simple, and he was not good at being a woman.

Seeing that Li Zhaoyu was bored with the wine in one sip, Li Yongzhong said, "Then I'll come up with a bad idea. If you find another one, she will give up after getting married."

"Well, a good idea." Li Zhaoyu was stunned at first, then nodded.

Li Yongzhong didn't expect Li Zhaoyu to react like this. He agreed so quickly, but it was hard to say anything for a moment. He said, "Young Master, then don't let yourself be wronged."

"True love is only owned by a few people, and most of the marriages are about to settle down." Li Zhaoyu said lightly. He got up and took out a stack of letters from the cabinet, all of which were the results brought to him by Li Zhaoming, the matchmaker, after the garden party.

However, if you seek medical treatment in a hurry, you may not necessarily have results.

During the 44 years of the empire, Li Zhaoyu's main energy was to be busy with the Eastern Alliance Conference. The nine-month meeting finally achieved gratifying results before the New Year. The political and military alliance, the Eastern Collective Security Alliance, was announced to be established. Because there were many quarrels in details, the Eastern Economic Cooperation Conference only set up a framework.

The Eastern Alliance includes China, Annan (North Vietnam), Guangnan (South Vietnam except the Mekong Delta), Zhenla (excluding Cambodia in the Delta), Siam (Thailand), Nanzhang (Laos), Myanmar, the Alashan Kingdom (Myanmar Rakhine State), Mughal Empire (East Coast and Bangladesh of the Indian Peninsula), the Marata Empire (West Coast of the Peninsula), as well as more than a dozen large and small sultanate countries in the South Ocean and the subcontinent.

Japan, a country with potential threats to the empire, was excluded from the Eastern Alliance system, such as the Mad Blue Sultanate, which had disputes with the empire.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"The signing of the Oriental Alliance Treaty is really good. Zhaoyu, I will remember you a great achievement." In the imperial study, Li Junhua put down the newspaper in his hand and encouraged Li Zhaoyu.

"Your Majesty, I'm just doing my best, but the prince Wen Luo of the Southern Plate has done a lot of effort." Li Zhaoyu responded seriously.

Li Junhua nodded gently: "This Wen Luo is really good. He is also smart. He not only seeks benefits for Nanzhang, but also takes care of the interests of the empire. He is also decent. I will reward him well."

"That boy gave the Emperor to Winlo," said Li Zhaoyu.

Li Junhua nodded and asked Li Junwei, who was drinking tea on the side, "Third brother, according to your plan, after the Oriental Alliance system is established, the empire can discuss the establishment of the League of Nations with European countries, but the Eastern Economic Cooperation Agreement has not been signed yet. Do you think it is necessary to slow down?"

On the issue of the League of Nations, Li Junwei put forward the "class theory", regarding the Eastern League system as a class meeting and the League of Nations as a student union. Li Junwei insisted that only when the class committee is established and the power is exercised smoothly can he participate in the affairs of the student union, so that the East can unite and deal with the West can he deal with it.

However, there were some mistakes in the preparation of the Oriental Alliance's class committee. Originally, Li Junwei planned to cooperate economically first and then talk about the military and political alliance. He thought that the military and political alliance had to consider all aspects, so it would be more difficult, but he did not expect that countries in the Oriental Alliance system were easy to accept military and political alliances, but they were too concerned about economic and trade cooperation.

"There is no need to slow down. The League of Nations mainly focuses on political cooperation and military confrontation, and economic cooperation has no foundation." Li Junwei put down his teacup and said honestly.

Li Junhua said: "Then after a year, let Zhaoyu preside over the affairs of the National League. Now it seems that this child is quite talented at the diplomatic level."

"He is still a little younger." Li Junwei thought for a while, but did not support him immediately.

Hearing this, Li Zhaoyu said: "Yes, the emperor, the child is young and has insufficient experience, and his diplomacy towards European diplomacy is completely different from the Eastern system. After all, the success of the Eastern Alliance is mainly due to the foundation laid by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. The child has only turned the tribute system of the vassal state into an equal alliance system, and there is nothing to turn decay into magic.

The European countries are intricate and have complex relations with the empire. They are both fighting and cooperating, and their children are worried that they cannot control the situation."

Li Junhua said: "You didn't let you control the situation either, you just participated in the founding of the League of Nations."

Li Junwei followed the words: "The League of Nations is different from the Eastern Alliance. The Eastern Alliance is the main stage for the empire to control the Eastern order and the basic foundation for the empire to stand on the top of the world. Therefore, this system must be equal, take care of the interests of all parties, and promote cooperation and in-depth exchanges between the empire and these countries.

But the League of Nations is different. In essence, the League of Nations is to give the major powers in the world a platform for quarrels. If you are quarreling, find a place that everyone is willing to go, and then set some rules to avoid turning quarrels into fights."

"This... doesn't seem that simple, father." Li Zhaoyu didn't believe his father's words. When he asked him to participate in the Oriental Alliance meeting, he just said to co-organize it, but as he did, Li Junwei became the boss.

Of course, Li Zhaoyu has grown a lot after this, but it is all at home, and the negotiations of the League of Nations will go abroad.

Li Junwei said: "Of course it's not that simple. You must be cautious when negotiating in the Eastern Alliance Conference, but negotiations in the League of Nations are much simpler. The empire should not suffer losses. How can we not suffer losses? That is to create a system that does not achieve success but does not make up for trouble. As long as the empire wants to ruin other people's good things, it is enough to ruin others' good things."

As Li Junwei said, the negotiations at the Eastern Alliance Conference are more complicated, and not to mention the scruples in economic and trade cooperation. After all, there is no result yet. Even in the negotiations of the military and political alliance, Li Zhaoyu must be cautious.

On the surface, the Eastern Alliance is an equal political and military alliance, but in fact it is not equal at all. This inequality is unequal to the only powerful power within the alliance system of the Empire. To give the simplest example, after the establishment of the Eastern Alliance, almost all countries on the Indochina Peninsula included disarmament in the national policy planning.

Anyway, everyone has joined an alliance, which has both restrictions on alliance treaties and imperial towns on it. It is impossible to fight. So the army has been reduced in size and its main functions have changed, from expansion outward or defense outside, to internal suppression.

However, the empire cannot disarmament, not only cannot disarmament, but it even needs to expand its military force.

For example, the Imperial Guards have to expand the size of the two brigades because of the establishment of the Eastern Alliance. These troops have peacekeeping, military police and diplomatic functions, and have to go to various countries to provide military services for the demarcation of border lines of various countries. If there is no Imperial Guards dispatched, then all countries will send troops when demarcating the borders. Not only will the disarmament not be possible, but it will also increase the risk of military confrontation.

Therefore, in the Eastern Alliance, the Empire assumed the obligations far exceeding its own obligations, and even had to add military expenses.

How to not only assume these obligations but not show that the empire is at a disadvantage in the treaty is a very complicated issue.

"Okay, my child can do some homework." Li Zhaoyu said seriously.

Li Junhua smiled and said, "Zhaoyu, don't worry, it's not too late to do everything when you are ready.

The affairs of the League of Nations should be the time for you to take responsibility. Your father has always been responsible for external affairs, but he is old, and you are the eldest son, so you should share some of it."

"It is one aspect that should be shared, and whether it can be shared is another aspect that can be shared." Compared to Li Junhua's tolerance, Li Junwei was a little cautious.

Li Zhaoyu nodded and said yes, and Li Junwei said: "I will leave you a homework today and I will test you next day. If the League of Nations is established, where should the League of Nations headquarters be located? If you think about it carefully, if you can't answer this question well, you can't easily handle such a big thing.

Go and do your business.”

Li Zhaoyu retreated, and Li Junhua shook his head: "Why should you be so strict with this child?"

"It still needs some encouragement." Li Junwei said.

Li Junhua asked: "What is the answer to this question? Where should the headquarters of the League of Nations be located?"

When Li Junwei was asked this, he smiled: "How can there be a standard answer to this kind of thing? Of course, everyone has their own reasons and their own demands."

"Then how do you ask Zhaoyu to answer?" Li Junhua asked.

"He should have his own answer and a reasonable place." Li Junwei said.

Li Junhua nodded: "Yes, what I want to know is that he has the answer, how can he convince you?"

Li Junwei laughed and said, "Second Brother Emperor, look at you, you got the point wrong again. What's the use of persuading me? I can't control the establishment of the League of Nations. I have to convince all countries and get other countries to agree."

“That’s even more complicated.”

Li Junwei said: "Gambling is a very complicated thing, and Zhaoyu should adapt."

Li Junhua also smiled when he heard this: "This question has no answer, but it has great significance. It is a good question."

This is indeed a good question, because there is no standard answer to this question, which is a good question. Because countries that want to participate in the League of Nations have their own answers, each country has different answers, and each country will also have several more options.

Therefore, if you want to convince other countries to support themselves, you must know the demands of other countries and their interests. Therefore, Li Zhaoyu must have a comprehensive understanding of all countries in order to reach a certain compromise.

Perhaps Li Zhaoyu would not come up with an answer, but in the process of exploring the results, he knew how to participate in the founding of the League of Nations.
