Zhao Xin spent nearly an hour to finally finish reading the more than 20,000-word programmatic draft, and Yu Deli immediately announced that the discussion would begin.
Everyone was silent, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't say anything for a long time. Maybe they were still digesting the contents of the draft, or maybe out of instinctive fear of Zhao Xin, no one wanted to be the first person. Zhao Xin was a little bit
Depressed, he didn't expect this to be the case. He looked around at everyone present, and then focused on Liu Sheng.
As if sensing Zhao Xin's hint, Liu Sheng slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him, opened the lid and took a sip, then closed the lid, and then put the tea cup on the table with a "bang!", and there was a sudden movement.
It was so big that those who lowered their heads and said nothing were shocked.
"I said Mr. Zhao, let's conquer Beijing tomorrow. Are you planning to move into the Forbidden City?"
Zhao Xin secretly gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my family is very small. Even if we all live in it, we still can't live in such a big house. According to my plan, I'd better build a new place outside the city. The Forbidden City is
Let’s keep it like this, it’ll be good as a cultural relic.”
"Oh~~~ Then I have another question. If you become the emperor, will you build three palaces and six courtyards?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of most of the men present suddenly became brighter. In fact, everything else in Beihai Town is good, but it is a little uncomfortable to not marry a child. Let alone whether the waist can bear it, at least
Feeling happy...
Liu Siting first leaned forward slightly and glanced at Hong Tao's expression, and then glanced at the expressions of the male compatriots in front of her. She couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth, thinking that none of them were good!
"Da Liu, monogamy is the foundation of our Beihai Town, how can we change it? We already have clear legislation, so there is no need to discuss this issue anymore."
Bah! How shameless.
Among the people present, including Liu Siting, everyone who knew Zhao Xin's bit of gossip expressed their "deep" contempt with their eyes. However, Lu Qi and Sun, who knew nothing about it and had only been here for a relatively short time.
Yuejin and Wang Changyou felt that Zhao Xin was so self-disciplined that there was a future in working with such a person... Haha.
There is really no way to put this matter on the table. Although Prince Zhao has several lovers, the problem is that he has not publicly admitted it, right? On the surface, Zhao Xin is still monogamous. Moreover, his wife Shen Niangniang does not
Urgent, someone else can use the heat pipe.
Since Beihai Town has always been in a situation of labor shortage since it was founded, it has been encouraging women to go out of the house to work in the fields or enter factories. In order to get more women to join the labor force, in addition to equal pay for equal work, monogamy has also been established
An inevitable choice. This was not decided by Zhao Xin at first, but the reality.
As a large number of women enter factories, coupled with literacy education, the knowledge and disposable wealth of women in Beihai Town continue to increase, so their voice continues to increase. Taking the early naturalized residents of the island country as an example, about 40% of families
Here, the status of women and men is becoming more and more equal, and many women earn more than men.
Furthermore, many families among the early immigrants have become very wealthy. Judging from the income from fifty acres of land alone, no one is much worse than the other. So why should my daughter be given as a child? Or be married off as a child bride?
Were you beaten in the past?
In addition, because Hong Tao and Liu Siting continue to publicize that early marriage and early childbearing are harmful to women's health, the age of marriage among immigrants in Beihai Town has been significantly postponed. The two families may get engaged when their children are fourteen or fifteen years old, but most of them wait until they are ten years old.
I didn’t get married until 1989.
From a sociological point of view, when the importance of economic issues in the family declines, human beings' yearning for love will become greater and greater; when love begins to play a role in the family, it will further consolidate monogamy.
family system.
Well, the premise is that the family's wealth must be in the hands of someone. As the saying goes, once a man has money... blah blah blah.
So in fact, as long as the superficial laws are not violated, moral constraints will be ineffective under certain conditions. The situation like Zhao Xin is more complicated. The bonus of the identity halo, coupled with his
Indiscriminate sentiment, and the fact that women in the eighteenth century were already in a weak psychological state of dependence, allowed his conspiracy of flying colorful flags outside to succeed.
But then again, who dares to chew Zhao Xin’s tongue?!
Regarding this meeting, many people regarded it as a "cake-sharing" meeting to clarify the division of power among everyone and form a prototype similar to the "political hall" in order to take over the state power of the Qing Dynasty in the future.
No one actually has an opinion on whether Zhao Xin should be emperor or president. It sounds nice to say that he is a virtual monarch and a republic, but who dares to treat him as a mascot on stage?
Just kidding, it doesn't matter if you offend others, you will lose contact with another time and space every minute. Let alone go home, you won't get a cent of the money in the trust agreement. The examples of Wu Ping'an and Jin Kaijun are there!
So far, the only ones who have made Zhao Xin fall out are these two people. Zhao Xin's approach of not killing the killer but just imprisoning him has won a good reputation among the time travel people; but he also drew a line, that is, don't do it
Conspiracy.
The question is, can there be conspiracy?
Representatives from the military side focused on when the war of unification in the south would be launched, as well as the layout of the Northern Navy in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the North American continent; those on the civil affairs side focused on issues such as institutional setup, land reform, legislation, and supervision; and those on the education side were concerned about
When will the subjects be opened to obtain a bachelor's degree, and how to carry out literacy campaigns and Mandarin promotion after entering the customs; and the medical port, hey, Dr. Hong and his wife came up with a plan to popularize medical health after entering the customs, and the numbers above made Zhao Xin straight
Picking up toothbrush seeds makes your brain hurt.
The most laid-back among them all is Zhang Bo. Currently the boss of Beihai Town's petroleum system, he thinks very clearly that his life's glory and wealth can only be achieved by relying on Prince Zhao. Zhao Xin had already talked to him privately before the meeting,
No matter what system is adopted, he will be in charge of the cake of the oil industry. Therefore, Zhang Bo is more concerned about when to go south to Sumatra. After drinking enough from the northwest wind, it is time to take his wife to a day of sunshine, beaches and waves.
Zhao Liang is actually similar. Although he controls the military-industrial complex in Beihai Town, which apparently belongs to the civil affairs, because he comes from the military system, he is naturally closer to Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng psychologically. But he is the former
During the two days of conversations with Zhao Xin, I learned that with the end of this political discussion, military industry and civilian-oriented steel, machinery manufacturing and other projects will be divested. Zhao Xin asked him to choose, the former belongs to the North Navy system, and the latter belongs to industry
committee.
Oops, the palms of the hands are also meat, and the backs of the hands are also meat. Zhao Liang is a little undecided. He can't let go of any of them, so after today's meeting, he plans to ask Liu Sheng, Deng Fei, Ding Guofeng and others to help him do the total.
With Liu Sheng's relaxed conversation, everyone gradually started to talk more and asked a variety of questions, including everything, even the question of whether they could build a yard in Shichahai in the future.
"In principle, there is no problem. All the confiscated mansions of princes and ministers can be auctioned, and everyone can just pay to buy them."
"Is the property right still 70 years old? What happens after 70 years?"
"If you care about so many things, it's really important to do something first."
"..."
Everyone chatted for a long time, and soon it was lunch time. After eating, everyone took a rest for a while, and then continued at two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the afternoon discussion, Yu Deli asked to speak first.
"Everyone, the total number of people here, including the comrades present, is 29. I would like to ask you to pay attention to one question, that is, who will be represented in this future political system? In later generations, we will often talk about the people, but we will always talk about the people.
Who are the people in this time and space? Are they the landlords and gentry, the scholar-bureaucrats who are scholars, or the poor peasants who make up the largest population? Unless we discuss this issue clearly and write it into our program documents, I can conclude that what we have done today
Everything is like drawing water from a bamboo basket, and when people die, the government will cease to exist!"
"Some people said this morning that we could engage in parliamentary politics similar to the British style of upper and lower houses. I personally think it is inappropriate. The political system of Westerners is from divine power to royal power, and from royal power to civil rights. So they said that politics can be divided into constitutional or autocracy.
, either an autocratic monarchy, a constitutional monarchy, or a constitutional democracy. And what about us? What kind of bourgeoisie was there under the Manchu Qing Empire? There was only a class of scholar-bureaucrats composed of landlords and gentry!"
"The establishment of a future political system and the establishment of committees to manage various affairs are not just to divide the cake. The Analects of Confucius says that a politician is upright. If the leader is upright, who dares not to be upright? What we are going to discuss now is not only
It’s about the ownership of power, but it’s more about clarifying our responsibilities!”
"Since we want to take charge of this 17 million square kilometers of land and want to participate in the politics of this country, then we have to be cautious and walk on thin ice. "Mencius" says that no king is benevolent; no king is unjust; no king is unjust;
There is nothing wrong with being upright. This means that all unkindness, unjustness, and unrighteousness in the world should all be held responsible by the politicians. I am not advocating for the emperor by saying this, but I am using it as a metaphor for the responsibility of the politicians."
"The big house in Shichahai is nice, but we have to be careful. Once we live in it and live in a wealthy mansion every day, can we still stand on the side of the people? With a deep house and compound, there will be a lot of servants. At night
Do we need to have several nursing homes to look after the house? Otherwise, wouldn’t you be so scared at night if the couple lived in such a big house?!"
"If we want to smash the landlord class, smash the feudal system, and break everything in the old era, can the 29 of us do it? Mr. Zhao's ability certainly plays a very good bonus, but think about it, if there are not those who benefit
With the support of the people at the bottom, can we achieve what we have today?”
"For eight years, we have been immigrating to the outer Northeast and living in Mukoleng. We first fought against the Manchus and then against Tsarist Russia. We carried out land reform, abolished personal dependence, improved education and public ownership of the means of production. What is it for? Is it just that?
In order to become a big bourgeoisie, a combination of big aristocrats and big landowners, then why do you have to work so hard?"
"When we held the first 'Legislative Preparatory Meeting' that year, had it not been for what Mr. Zhao said, to be honest, I, Yu Deli, would not have been so deeply involved. I remember that he said at that time that laws must be established before legislation can be enacted.
spirit, who do we represent? He said that if this issue is not clarified, even if the Manchu emperor is driven out, this country will still be a feudal society. Although the Eight Banners are gone, the Han people and officials have formed a feudal society over the past few hundred years.
The old-fashioned way and rigid thinking, regarding science and technology as fancy tricks, and regarding openness as indiscriminate between Chinese and foreigners will continue. No matter how strong we are in a short period of time, we cannot escape the 'cycle of chaos'."
Among the people present, except for Chen Qingsong, Li Yaru, Zhou Weiguo, Wu Siyu and others who were present at the time, most of the others did not know about this matter. At this moment, seeing Chen Qingsong and others nodding slightly, they thought to themselves that they really didn’t expect that Prince Zhao would actually do it.
Have this ideal and broadmindedness.
Yu Deli continued meaningfully: "Who do we represent, in other words, who do we rely on? Who is the iron wall for us to achieve our ideals and goals? Some people say that Beihai Town has absolute strength with weapons and equipment that are beyond the times.
, can defeat all enemies in the world; but what I want to say is, without the millions of poor people who sincerely support us, where does the strength come from? Does it rely on the 29 of us? Or does it rely on the 278 travelers? Beihai
The town has been bringing in immigrants one after another over the years, and every one of us has heard of their suffering and sympathized with it! Only by relying on the copper and iron walls they have formed can we be able to smash those corrupt forces!"
"Everyone, I want to explain one thing and clarify the position of our political system. That is the basis for our future survival and growth, and the foundation for us to build an industrialized country. We want to eliminate the Manchu Qing Dynasty
, If you want to eliminate all decadent and declining systems, complete the unification war, and win nationwide victory, you must unite hundreds of millions of poor people. Only they are the strength of our Beihai Town!"
"Pah~pah~pah..."
Yu Deli's words were no less than Huang Zhongdalu's, making the participants who were originally relaxed look serious. Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong took the lead in applauding, and then a long and warm cheer sounded in the conference room.
applause.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Xinxin said that it was really not easy. It almost turned into a crooked meeting in the morning. Of course, there must be some people here who didn't agree with Yu Deli's idea, but he didn't care.
If you are like-minded, let's work together. If you dare to do tricks, you will run away when the contract expires. If there is someone who doesn't want to leave because of his wife and children, then buy him a big house in Houhai and live a dreamy life.
Zhou Weiguo stood up and said: "What Lao Yu said is great! I propose to refer to Lao Chen's draft to draw up a common program as our guiding document. Since I have been responsible for legal affairs over the years, I volunteered
Already."
Oops! Everyone thought that this guy was really a thief, so they took the opportunity to go straight to the commanding heights. You must know that making laws and regulations is a major matter of the country.
"Old Zhou's suggestion is very good." Zhao Xin nodded calmly, but his subsequent words suddenly made Zhou Weiguo think, "You can't steal the chicken but lose the rice." He continued: "Old Yu,
Liu Zheng, I would like you two to work hard these days and work with Lao Zhou to get this program document out. Is three days enough?"
"No problem!" Liu Zheng immediately understood what Zhao Xin meant.
"Okay." Yu Deli nodded expressionlessly.
Damn it! Although Zhou Weiguo was reluctant in his heart, he knew that Zhao Xin had already seen his thoughts, so he had to put on a sincere smile and express his complete agreement.
