Chapter 212 Prospering, God's Spell Talisman (10k)(1/5)
Yu Ziqing looked at the crowd of heads in front of him, which had gathered so quickly. He would never believe it if this was not premeditated or rehearsed.
In the past, Zhang Quli, the chief minister of the cabinet, occasionally mentioned that it would be best to complete the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible.
Just like when he remembered it occasionally and mentioned it, Yu Ziqing replied that he would do it next time, and Zhang Quli said nothing more.
It was indeed a bit unexpected for Yu Ziqing to do something like this today, to be so serious and solemn.
He really hasn't figured out what psychological changes these people have experienced.
He could understand that in the beginning, these people were one and the same.
That's because at that time, Dadai was almost finished, and the national fortunes were so low that another large-scale Dadai seal would not be possible.
The whole lot was sold, and it was not enough to repay the debt owed to Yu Ziqing.
This is not financial debt or fiscal deficit.
When placed on people, it is a debt of favor and chance that must be repaid.
If it was placed in the Datui Dynasty, it would have to be returned with the national fortune.
But unfortunately, this national fortune has never been negative. If it disappears, it means the country will be destroyed.
The incarnation of the national destiny is also a concrete thing. If the national destiny dissipates, this thing will also be destroyed at the same time.
Even if the country is restored in the name of Datu later, it will no longer be Datu.
After Datui stabilized, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, they increasingly wanted Yu Ziqing to ascend the throne.
Yu Ziqing didn't think too clearly about this.
Now at least you won’t be finished after paying off the debt, right?
So with his little ability, can he be qualified for the position of Dui Huang?
Yu Ziqing was still quite confident, thinking that with his abilities, knowledge, and judgment, he was definitely far from competent.
Such a great dynasty cannot be managed by him just by typing on the keyboard.
A new government order that fails to consider even a few issues may eventually cause the displacement of millions and tens of millions of people.
"Everyone, what are you doing? Get up first and then talk."
When Zhang Quli saw that Yu Ziqing wanted to refuse again, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and shouted.
"My lord, I sincerely request your Majesty to choose a day to ascend the throne!"
There was a crowd of people behind, who immediately followed Zhang Quli's movements and continued to shout.
Everyone raised their heads, and Yu Ziqing saw several elderly ministers with red eyes and excited expressions.
He stared at the Panlong Pillar beside him, his body eager to try, as if he was about to jump up at any moment and hit his head against the pillar, causing blood to spill on the spot.
Yu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and immediately his face became solemn. He quickly stepped forward and helped Zhang Quli up first.
"Everyone, please get up first and then talk. Don't be impulsive. Think twice before you act."
"Your Majesty, we have thought twice before asking your Majesty to ascend the throne."
Zhang Quli's expression was moved, his eyes were full of expectation, and his gaze was so hot that Yu Ziqing couldn't help but look away and sighed softly.
"Old Zhang, let me tell you something that comes from the bottom of my heart.
It’s not that I refuse, really, I really feel that my abilities in all aspects are not worthy of this position.
I don't care about small details, but in this position I have to take care of every detail.
I really don't dare to take on this important task.
As long as I think about how millions of people will be displaced by a single government decree, I can't sit still.
Some people see rights, but the first thing I see is the crushing responsibility."
Upon hearing this, the seven cabinet members all looked very moved.
Zhang Quli, an old minister, lost control of his emotions. He grabbed Yu Ziqing's hand with trembling hands and burst into tears.
He spent his whole life thinking about how to save Dadui and how to turn the tide.
In the end, I still couldn't break free from the mental barriers of the past. I watched helplessly as the huge debt became lifeless.
Everywhere I looked, there were just walking corpses, indifferent, and I felt so desperate inside.
If it were back then, among the princes of the Manchu Dynasty and the royal family of Dadai, there would be no one who could have thought that responsibility comes first with power.
There is one person who can say the words "one decree, millions displaced", and one who is so cautious.
Why is this happening? Why is it happening like this?
Now he finally sees through that intention is far more important than ability.
If your mind is crooked, the stronger your ability, the more crooked the result will be.
If your intentions are right and your abilities are poor, it's okay. At least the path is on the right track.
Walking slowly is a million times better than walking astray.
"Your Majesty, we have no choice but to persecute Your Majesty. In fact, this is the common wish of hundreds of millions of Dadui's subjects."
"Then let me go and take a look first. No matter how much I hear, I might as well go there and take a look in person."
Yu Ziqing borrowed the donkey from Poxia and proposed to go out and take a look first.
Zhang Quli lost control of his emotions, and Yu Ziqing was afraid that if the old minister failed to calm down, something would happen again.
He quickly asked him to sit down first, and by the way, he also had people help all the octogenarians to sit down.
This time, the rhythm of registration was disrupted.
However, in the eyes of others, this was a sign of Yu Ziqing's respect for the old minister.
Anyway, when you are pleased with what you do, others will see the good side.
The more the ministers saw, the more satisfied they became. Except for the fact that Yu Ziqing had not done anything for ten years, everything else was satisfactory.
As soon as the matter of asking for the throne was stirred up, it could no longer be carried out.
When everyone left and only the cabinet members were left, Zhang Quli originally wanted to report something, but when he finally opened his mouth, his demeanor changed.
"Your Majesty, please rest for some time. I will accompany you in private for a private visit."
"No, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Let's take it today. You don't have to accompany me. I'll go and see for myself."
"I will accompany your Majesty."
"Government affairs are important."
"Your Majesty, there are actually not many important government affairs that must be dealt with in a timely manner now. Everything is on track. It doesn't matter if I take a few days' rest."
"That's okay."
Zhang Quli even said that you should rest for a few days, how could he still tell you not to rest?
Finally, Yu Ziqing took Zhang Quli and Jia Shishi out of the palace together.
The three of them quietly left the city without a target. Yu Ziqing randomly selected the target.
Go all the way west and choose a city farthest from Dingmao City.
Moreover, the place we went to first was not the city, but the villages and towns below the city.
This is the place where government orders are the latest to arrive and where the benefits of policies are the last to be enjoyed.
Especially for many new measures, according to the requirements, a small place must be chosen first for experimentation.
If comprehensive considerations are possible, the scope will be expanded to one city or several cities.
Once the scope is expanded and it is still possible, comprehensive promotion will be considered.
The small villages and towns that Yu Ziqing chose now are the places that will be included in this comprehensive promotion.
The entire process will take five to ten years at the earliest.
This is one reason why Yu Ziqing felt that ten years had come and he could take a look.
Zhang Quli and Jia Shishi did not interfere during the whole process. They would lead the way wherever Yu Ziqing said he wanted to go.
All the way to the small mountain village, before I saw the village, I saw green wheat fields and people working hard in the fields.
In Yu Ziqing's opinion, the wheat fields were very sparsely planted.
But this is the norm. In the era when there were no chemical fertilizers and we relied entirely on farmyard manure, if we planted too densely, nothing would grow well.
"Is the dirty gas bucket used?"
"If used, it can produce good fertilizer.
It's just that it's probably still in the promotion stage here, and farmers don't dare to try it rashly.
Moreover, the fertilizer produced is not enough."
Yu Ziqing nodded. Farmers would not dare to try anything that would affect the harvest without confirming the effect.
What they want is not to bet on a surge in production, but a guaranteed harvest.
