Chapter Thirty-Three: Power from the Ground (3)

The enlarged meeting of the Advisory Council is close to the session of the Guangdong Congress of the Tiandihui. This is Chen Kai's deliberate decision. As for the reason, he only said that it involves the whole province, and he must take care of those members, alternate members and other members who are far away from the provincial capital.

Local representatives can reduce their burden of traveling back and forth. But for this reason alone, it can be seen that the proportion of members of the Tiandihui in the Advisory Council.

"Local people who are observing do not have the right to vote, so only invited members, alternate members and local representatives are counted. Now, more than 70% of the members of the Advisory Council have joined our Tiandihui, and nearly two-thirds of the alternate members

The proportion of local representatives. Except for those who have bad records of subduing captives and are not invited, they are all local leaders in various prefectures and counties, and nearly half of them are our members and intern members. Calculate the total, our world will be in

The number of people at this meeting is close to two-thirds. As long as the rest of the people are not opposed, the bill can be passed stably."

Kuang Lu reported on the matter of enlarging the meeting. Chen Kai didn't pay too much attention to it. He just ended the discussion on the possibility of passing the issue with the sentence "no more than one-tenth will oppose it." Even Kuang Lu

Lu, there is no surprise at this moment, because the members of the Guangdong Branch, the members of the Advisory Bureau, and the alternate members have not been idle this year.

"The issue must be passed! Only if the issue is passed, can a consultative bureau be established at the government level. Now not only we in Guangdong, but also the gentry from other provinces are watching. We Cantonese people absolutely cannot afford this shame."

"Don't worry, it will definitely pass. This is the general trend. Besides, Chen Fujun is the best at manipulating the general trend, and he will never make a mistake."

Just like Hong Kong some time ago, the city of Guangzhou is now also densely covered with connected silk threads. Apart from being a little messy, it is no less dense than the silk of Shunde and the cotton of Qiongzhou.

The Advisory Bureau is still just a vase-like decoration, but the people involved in it are full of enthusiasm. In the final analysis, anyone with a discerning eye can see that its future possibilities are unlimited, and if you invest in it, you can reap endless benefits.

Even if it is just based on its current vase nature, an organization at the grassroots level that can dialogue with the government, or even have an impact, is enough to move them.

The conference date is quickly approaching, especially with the arrival of representatives of Tiandihui from Hong Kong, the excitement in Guangzhou has become even more lively. And what’s more interesting is that in addition to the series of activities that were originally divided by regions, there are also more

Activities linked by members, such as poetry gatherings among gentry, banquets among powerful men, and visits to relatives and friends among wealthy families, further intensified the excitement in the city.

"If we hold a few more meetings, the service industry in Guangzhou City will be very happy. Well, can we consider levying a few percentage points of tax on them..."

Random thoughts, and then smiled. Chen Kai watched these activities silently, and the content and intention were constantly reaching his ears. It was like a spider entrenched in a spider web, and every trembling of the spider silk

The tentacles that feed information back to the spider are the same.

Representatives from various regions have the same or different demands, as do the representatives of various components. Chen Kai watched while thinking about these differences. It is undeniable that this is something he has never personally experienced in another world.

Because he is not familiar enough, he will have a certain degree of worry and unconfidence. However, as time goes by and as the rules are improved, he also becomes more understanding of the demands of the people he comes into contact with.

More and more confident.

The meeting date came quickly, and this time it was held in the conference hall of the Consultative Bureau. Chen Kai presided over the meeting as usual, but compared with the Guangdong Congress of the Tiandihui not long ago, the purpose of this expanded meeting of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau was

As announced a year ago, everyone, whether they are participants or those who have nothing to do with the meeting, there is no suspense about the purpose and results of the meeting in Guangdong. Because, Guangdong is still

It’s Chen Kai who has the final say!

After delivering a speech at the meeting, Chen Kai mentioned the contribution that the Advisory Bureau has made to the people's livelihood construction in Guangdong Province since its establishment one year ago, as well as the benefits to government administration. Here, he mainly talked about the construction of local schools,

Cooperate with the government to coordinate conflicts at the grassroots level, and restore welfare institutions in various prefectures and counties, such as Huimin Pharmacy.

"It is inevitable for people to get sick if they eat all kinds of grains. However, medicinal materials are expensive and many people cannot afford them. Even doctors who donate medicines to doctors often cannot last long. Our Han dynasty has always understood the sufferings of the people and has provided medicines to benefit the people.

The bureau was used to relieve the suffering of the people's livelihood. However, in the past few decades, the world has been in chaos, the Tartars have invaded, and the government's financial resources are insufficient, so the Huimin Pharmacy has gradually fallen into disuse in various prefectures and counties. The same is true in Guangdong."

"I have been in power for many years, and I have tried my best to allocate finances to restore the functions of Huimin Pharmacy. However, the Tatars are not destroyed, and the king must do his best to regain the lost territory. Not to mention, even the Tatars will destroy our Han family and the world.

The government is determined to continue to attack, and the finances are stretched even further. For a long time, I have tried my best, but I can only maintain the Huimin Pharmacy in the three prefectures of Chaozhou, Qiongzhou and Guangzhou, and other places are beyond my reach."

"In the past year, with the local influence of the members of the Consultative Bureau, the majority of gentry and merchants have given their full support. Not only the original three prefectures, but also most of the counties have restored the Huimin Pharmacy.

The system was established, and according to the system of Taiping, many people benefited from this. As for other prefectures and cities that the Advisory Bureau could reach, all the prefectures and cities also restored the system of organization, and even the counties were also restored.

Gradually recovering, I believe it won't be long before our Huimin Pharmacy in Guangdong Province can return to normal levels."

"This is truly an unimaginable feat given the current chaos in the world!"

Regarding Huimin Pharmacy, Chen Kai knew it very well. Speaking of which, although Guangdong's finances are getting better day by day, there are still many places to spend, so he handed this over to the Consultative Bureau to solve. On the one hand, you can

Alleviating financial pressure; on the other hand, the Advisory Bureau can also enhance its influence by relying on the reconstruction of Huimin Pharmacy. It can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

In fact, Huimin Pharmacy is not the only one. Others, such as Yangjiyuan and Luzeyuan, are also restoring their institutions, but they are not as fast as Huimin Pharmacy. And Chen Kai will also rebuild these welfare institutions.

What was originally a completely government-run institution was changed to a quasi-government-run and private-run institution, or in other words, it was still government-run in name, but was funded and operated by gentry and merchants.

"Therefore, every rebuilt Huimin Pharmacy has a tree monument recording the list of people who participated in the reconstruction, and every new donation is announced in the Guangdong Dibao."

Reconstruction and donations are a way for the gentry and merchants to gain a good reputation. It is not only beneficial to the Council, but also beneficial to them personally, which is why we have what we have today. In this case, Chen

Kai simply chose to go with the flow and publicize their good deeds to arouse more good names, which is also of great benefit to ordinary people. Today, he once again brought up all this to talk about, or in other words,

Taking this as a reason makes the establishment of the Consultative Council even more logical.

The thunderous applause is for Chen Kai, and it is also for the Consultative Bureau, as well as the gentry, businessmen and powerful people who work hard for the Consultative Bureau. Just hearing it in Chen Kai's ears, but

Still couldn't help but smile bitterly because the Council's activities are becoming more frequent nowadays, but they are still a cautious and cautious existence under his wing - they don't dare to challenge the authority of the government at all, they just expand it bit by bit.

Your own sense of existence and the theoretical basis for improving your existence. Everything is just the beginning.

The imperial court was beyond its reach, and Zheng Chenggong was noncommittal. At the meeting, Chen Kai and the Guangdong Consultative Bureau were almost talking to themselves and finalized the establishment of a government-level consultative bureau. Even the voting did not cause any problems. Chen Kai

The earlier prediction that the number of opposition votes would not exceed one-tenth was spot on - in the final voting results, those who opposed and abstained together did not even account for one-twentieth, so that the representatives of the members who counted the votes were

I almost did it with my eyes closed.

The establishment of the government advisory bureau is, after all, an extension of the power of the provincial advisory bureau. However, for those powerful people in the localities where the advisory bureau has not yet been established, this is not just a simple matter. In the mind

His eagerness to move can no longer be contained, and he is even more impatient.

"Chief Chief, the Guangdong Consultative Bureau has been established for a long time. The majority of gentry and merchants in southern Jiangxi, including our members, are also waiting eagerly..."

Among the scholar-bureaucrats in Southern Gansu, Tao Qian was still young and did not have enough influence. However, due to his outstanding performance in organizing the local Tiandihui during the Ming army's war to regain Southern Gansu, and his contribution to the East during the war,

The head coach of the Route Army, Huang Shan, won praise from Zanhua Military Affairs and is now the most famous figure among the local scholar-bureaucrats.

He was a representative of the Southern Jiangxi Heaven and Earth Society, and was also a representative elected by powerful people in Southern Jiangxi to attend the meeting. Here, the meeting concluded successfully, and he came to visit with the expectations of the Southern Gansu people.

"Don't worry, it won't take long for the consultative bureau in Southern Gansu to be formally established. But the specific time depends on what happens in Fujian.
