Lu Ming

Li Dazui, who learned of Yao Jianshe's intention, first pulled him to sit beside him, and then lay down on the long dining table covered with white cloth and dragged over a small oak barrel, which contained dark barley beer from Tainan.

After the sound of "DUANG", a large enamel tank full of beer was thrown in front of Yao Jianshe. There were also patterns of workers, peasants and soldiers and the slogan "Labor is the most glorious" printed on it: "It's a catch-up for you, let's talk after you're done."

"These guys are really arrogant, they start cooking before the cold dishes are served!"

Yao Jianshe, who was used to being a big boss in the north on weekdays, found that he was really not on the stage after "returning to China", and anyone could handle it.

The next moment, Yao Jianshe picked up the enamel jar with a wry smile, and clinked glasses with Li Dazui helplessly, and drank it down.

"happy!"

Li Dazui, who drank the wine, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then put his arm around Yao Jianshe's shoulder and whispered with a smile: "Old Yao, although we have never seen each other, I appreciate your kindness. After drinking today, That's brother!"

To be honest, Yao Jianshe didn't have a bad impression of Li Dazui and his group.

The group of people on both sides of the long dining table in front of them, headed by Li Dazui, belonged to the die-hard royalist party.They are keen on retro, superiority, and noble inheritance, and hope to establish a three-level social relationship of "emperor-noble-commoner". They are the most right group across the internal political spectrum.

Yao Jianshe himself does not have so much enthusiasm for participating in politics, he is a realistic person.In his view, although the future society will one day evolve into the democratic appearance of later generations, at the moment, at least in his lifetime, the social structure with Emperor Cao sitting on the throne will definitely continue.

In this case, why go against the overall situation?I am also one of the elders, I have been a born noble since the moment I crossed over!

"That's right. I've been looking for an opportunity to get close to my brothers, but my place of work is too far away, so I can't reach it!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing what Yao Jianshe said, Li Dazui patted the other person's shoulder with relief: "Eat first, and then talk about it after eating."

Soon, the long dining table was filled with dinner.With the continuous improvement of social productivity, chickens, ducks, fish, and all kinds of fresh seafood are available on the dining table of Chuanzhong.

Yao Jianshe dominates the north, and he has had countless entertainments in his daily life.When encountering today's dinner, he gladly joined in - it's been a long time since he had a meal with the time-travelers without any scruples and talked about various time-traveling topics.

A dinner party of eating and drinking lasted for two or three hours before it was over, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

In the end, Yao Jianshe, who was full of wine and food, went to Li Dazui's so-called office to continue drinking.

The duty secretary quickly brought tea and wine.

As soon as Yao Jianshe sat down and took a sip of tea, he saw Li Dazui take out several cigarettes from a large locked iron file cabinet and pile them on the coffee table: "You choose one yourself."

This is obviously imported cigarettes.It is also beneficial to be a courtier. Li Dazui is usually responsible for distributing various personal "rewards" of Emperor Cao.

Yao Jianshe's eyes lit up: "Hey, He Tianxia? If you want to say that Mr. Cao is still capable, this lip service is good, that's all."

Satisfied with this article and the world, Yao Jianshe was already planning how to divide the account after returning to the north.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yao Jianshe didn't expect the drama to come.Li Dazui first filled the tea for the two of them, and then tore open a box of Yellow Crane Tower to smoke.Just when Yao Jianshe went too far to light a cigarette, Li Dazui said with a smile: "Old Yao, do you feel that Mr. Cao is not too interested in our business?"

"A little bit." Yao Jianshe, who had a lot of drinks today, was unprepared, and casually expressed his own thoughts: "There is no one, and he is a little indifferent to the issues that the masses care about, so it is not easy to serve!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Yao Jianshe, who had been engaged in instigating rebellion behind enemy lines for a long time, had an alarm bell ringing in his mind.He suddenly realized that he was probably too relaxed in his lair today, and dared to say in front of the courtiers that the emperor's fault was not "Damn it, I'm begging!"

Just when Yao Jianshe opened his mouth to say something to make up for it, Li Dazui nodded again and again, expressing his sympathy for his words: "Yes, yes, these three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net, always Will it affect your work?"

It was unclear whether Li Dazui had really lost his mind and was arranging for his master, or Yao Jianshe, who was fishing with a straight hook, was speechless.

However, Li Dazui didn't seem to notice Yao Jianshe's abnormality at all. He shook his head to himself and sighed leisurely: "Oh, but then again, we must pay attention to the equality of responsibilities and powers in everything, right? In the current situation, let me tell you, I can't complain Mr. Cao. How many of those promises have been fulfilled? If it were me, I would not be happy to just work and not pay bonuses! Old Yao, are you right?"

Yao Jianshe's spirit of drinking had already dissipated.Although he has not yet digested the huge amount of information Li Dazui said, but with his rich life experience, Yao Jianshe faintly felt that a huge crisis was coming to him: "Could it be that the scripts that happened in those history books will be destroyed so soon?" It fell on me? My brother’s life and property are threatened, where is the police uncle?”

After a while, Yao Jianshe, who wanted to understand the current situation, realized that he couldn't escape, and seemed to have to make a statement: "Why the hell is it so difficult to smoke cigarettes?"

After coughing and sipping some tea to moisten his throat, Yao Jianshe cautiously asked, "Brother, what do you want to do, Mr. Cao?"

"Pro-government."

"As expected!" Yao Jianshe gasped.The next moment, he glanced nervously at the nanmu screen in the corner of the office, and after deciding that there was no place for any soldiers to hide behind, he stammered: "I personally have no objection to this. But... this matter is mainly It’s about Mr. Xia and the others, right? I’m...not high enough...and I’m far away from work, so I can’t be of much help!"

"Hahaha." Li Dazui raised his head and laughed loudly: "What do you want to help? Are you bringing Yanyun cavalry to Panyu to stage a coup?"

As if he had glimpsed Yao Jianshe's thoughts, Li Dazui patted the other party's shoulder, and said in relief, "Where is this going? Don't think Mr. Xia is so narrow-minded. He and Mr. Cao have already made a clear agreement."

Yao Jianshe couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"Go ask Lao Xia early tomorrow morning!" Li Dazui said impatiently, "It means that you are far away, and the news is not well informed. In fact, almost everyone who should know about this matter knows it, and everyone is looking forward to it. .”

"I'm damn... I'm scared to death!" Yao Jianshe went from ice to fire in an instant, and then he let out a sigh of relief: "Since everything is clear, why are you doing this for me today?"

Li Dazui chuckled: "Isn't this 'superior' telling you that you have to be careful in your work. After all, you can be regarded as the representative of the northern group. When the time comes, you will shout a few times, and it is necessary to help yourself!"

"Uh... that's it"

Yao Jianshe, who has become a "middle" person, understands everything at this moment: Isn't it just the script for the whole standing ovation...

The next moment, Yao Jianshe held that article and the world under his arm, and then slowly got up.At this moment, Yao Jianshe's face was shining with oil...wrong, it was a sacred radiance, and those who didn't know it thought it was a new paladin.

I saw him with a serious face, paused every word, and slowly raised his hand and said: "On behalf of several colleagues in the north, I would like to cherish my promise here: We firmly support Mr. Cao to return to China to preside over the overall situation, and work together with everyone to build a prosperous and democratic society. , civilized and harmonious new world."

After saying this crucial sentence, Yao Jianshe reached out and grabbed another Yellow Crane Tower from the coffee table, put it under the other arm, and went out swaggeringly.

Not wanting to leave the house, Li Dazui yelled behind his back: "Hey, make a deal!"

Yao Jianshe looked back and smiled: "Democracy also has a price!"

Chapter 622 General Assembly ([-])

Time: 1854 in the new world traversal calendar, the 11st of November in the old lunar calendar, Kuiyou year, Kuihai month, Yichou day, December 1, 1633 in the old world calendar, Thursday.

Venue: Conference Hall.

Characters: All of them will travel through the crowd.

Today is the sixth day of the conference, and it is also the day for the closing ceremony.

The auditorium was crowded, densely packed with people.In fact, as long as the traversers who can arrive today, all of them will be there without exception, even if they are key personnel in some key positions.

To this end, companies such as steel mills even start their annual maintenance a few days in advance to make time for managers.

The reason why it is so grand is that today is indeed a day of great historical significance: all important issues of this conference must be voted by all the traversers today.

Some people who were fishing and paddling in the past few days, all showed up without notice today.After all, in the future official history, there must be records of who and who participated in today's closing ceremony, and no one wants their descendants to find out their qualifications records.

When someone sits off the stage, there will naturally be someone on the stage.The person standing on the stage and reading the manuscript is none other than Xia Xianze, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

What Xia Xianze was doing was the first agenda item of the day: a closing summary for the previous cabinet.

According to the agreement of the first traveler meeting held as early as the end of 1628, the term of the cabinet is 5 years.The first cabinet headed by Xia Xianze served until the end of this year (1633), exactly five years.

In other words, not long after Xia Xianze finished reading the summary report, the first cabinet, which had played a huge role in the history, would officially confess to the stage of history.

Needless to say, the summary report is naturally to carry on the past and usher in the past and the future.

The crowd expressed emotional stability.

All fools know that Xia Xianze, as the executor and the first minister of the cabinet, must try his best to put money on his face. This is human nature.

However, as far as most people are concerned, it can be said that the first cabinet that was born in the extremely chaotic internal and external ecological environment has done a good job until today.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, if you change yourself, after these 5 years, you may not be much better than Lao Xia.

As a result, Lao Xia's cabinet summary report ended safely with applause.Next, the cabinet members collectively came to power and bowed three times to the masses, and then the group broke up and stepped down to call it a day.

Theoretically speaking, Xia Xianze and other bigwigs now have the same identity as those who eat melons: the masses.

Next is the second topic: the election of the second Chief Assistant.

As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king.

Although there is an emperor on everyone's head, the emperor didn't care about things before.Therefore, after the first cabinet is closed, the second cabinet needs to be elected immediately.

The second chief minister of the cabinet was undoubtedly Xia Xianze.

Lao Xia is now the best age for veterans to enter politics.With his great prestige among the people passing through today, his election as the second chief minister of the cabinet is undoubtedly the end.

What's more, Xia Xianze had already done enough work for various groups before this.It is no exaggeration to say that, at least right now, there is no one who can compete with him in the time-traveling crowd.

As a result, Xia Qunqun was quickly elected as the second chief assistant of the time-traveling force with a high number of votes.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Jianshe, who had received information in advance and communicated with the North through telegrams, also voted for it on behalf of his colleagues in the North during the voting period of the General Assembly.

After that, there were also people who traveled through Jiangsu and Zhejiang who worked in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also voted on behalf of colleagues from far away.

In the end, less than 15 minutes had passed since Lao Xia resigned from the first cabinet chief and became a member of the ordinary people, and he returned to the peak of power.

Unlike the complicated and complicated election process of the later generations, there are only so few people in the Transcendent Congregation, and the big bosses who have the right to vote do not need to be responsible for the natives outside, so all political procedures are simple and quick to arrange on the spot.

Like the cabinet election, once Xia Xianze is established as the chief assistant, then this issue will be completely over.As for the other cabinet members, Xia Xianze will appoint them after the fact, and there is no need to go through any formalities.

The so-called kung fu is all outside the play.

In fact, all the resolutions that need to be voted by the plenary today are the result of many rounds of public discussions in the past few days, as well as mutual negotiations and compromises between various groups.Being able to vote on stage today is just to go through formal procedures.

After the confirmation of the second chief minister of the cabinet, the next step is the third agenda: establishing the development pattern for the next five years.

The monkey version of the five-year plan is relatively short, the most important of which is "industrial precipitation": the establishment of a new pattern of industrial development of the crossing forces with steam power as the main body and gas and electric power as the auxiliary.

This report, which has absorbed the opinions of multiple groups such as industry, the military, and even scientific research, has had enough discussions in the past few days, and everyone has a full understanding of this report.

So the report was passed quickly.

Next is the highlight: the emperor's pro-government ceremony.

In fact, "the emperor's own government" is a false concept.Because in the past years, no one has ever stopped Mr. Cao from "not being in charge of the government"... It is he who puts all his energy into the old world and disappears, so he can't blame others.

The so-called "pro-government" drama, in essence, is more like a return to "announcement": Mr. Cao came back to work today to manage you gangsters.

The return of the decadent feudal leader was warmly welcomed by the landlord class.The next moment, the future big nobles and big landlord groups saluted together, shouting long live, and the roar went straight to the sky.

Everyone experienced the same scene five years ago when Mr. Cao ascended the throne.

However, it is different from the mentality of 5 years ago when he had a lot of thoughts in his heart and secretly muttered about the imperial power.Today, after several years of personal experience, as a member of the time traveler, everyone understands more and more where their future lies.

With the development direction of the current time-traveling regime, even an ordinary time-traveler with mediocre qualifications has long understood that only the current constitutional system can guarantee the future prosperity and wealth of himself and his descendants to the greatest extent.

Even to some extent, what everyone needs right now is a more powerful and powerful Emperor Cao.

Only such an emperor can establish and represent an aristocratic system based on the principles of imperial power, so as to secure the vested interests of the traversers in the future.

Moreover, only when Cao Chuan stands up to represent the imperial power can the traversers have nothing to say inside and avoid huge internal friction.Otherwise, if another person goes up, there will be a civil war in minutes: everyone is an ordinary person, and you don't have a lot of money in your sleeves, so why should you be the emperor?Do princes and generals care about each other?

Therefore, it is time for Cao Chuan to return.

As a result, Mr. Cao, who occupied the high seat, once again enjoyed the heartfelt support of his courtiers.

As for the opposition party in the crowd... the opposition party is not as good as before, and there are only three or five old cats left, which can be regarded as falling into the low ebb of the revolution.

There's no way, most of those people who came here with a clear mind, after seeing the direction of the wind clearly, defected to the revolution and turned to the enemy.There is no way, as a big landlord, no matter whether he cultivates farmers or the working class, he will kill himself in the end, and no one is a fool.

There are many other reasons why the opposition is having a hard time.You must know that the time-traveling forces themselves liberated and absorbed a large number of Ming country peasants, so the peasant class could not be mobilized.

In addition, the working class base of the opposition party is not good these days.Don't you see, those poor peasants from the Ming Dynasty cried and shouted to come to carry work for Mr. Cao. After becoming workers, they ate canteens and lived in brick houses every day. , I really can't start it!

In the end, because there are too many internal positions and power can be obtained everywhere, the basis for the survival of the opposition party in the cross-members is also gone.

There is nothing worth fighting for, and there is no partisanship.

Emperor Cao Chuan Cao, who was enthusiastically recognized by all the time-traversing people, stood up and waved at the next moment, and shook hands with the chief minister who came to pay respects.

The next step is the stage of the emperor's administration - he is ambitious and pro-government, so he must issue several decrees to meet the situation, right?

In other words, this administration is actually the scope of the emperor's rights that was determined a few years ago.It is more to express an attitude of the emperor to participate in the internal management of the traversing public, not to infringe on the administrative power of the cabinet.

So, after whispering to Cao Chuan, Xia Xianze returned to the stage and announced the first "edict": to reopen the immigration channel, and in the future, some "high-quality" immigrants will be "introduced" from time to time.

This item once again aroused cheers, among which the cheers from the military camp were the loudest.

The second item is an old tradition: the new emperor ascends the throne and amnesties the world.

The so-called amnesty, this trick was used 5 years ago, and it worked very well: Xia Xianze announced that from now on, every traverser will be given a space quota of half a cubic meter, and they can freely choose to import materials.

After hearing this joyful "decree", the people who traveled through the country who had already cut off the import of materials for a long time almost knocked off the roof with cheers.

The third edict is very simple: from now on, all departments can recommend a batch of "heartfelt" indigenous names to the cabinet, and finally the emperor himself will award these indigenous titles.

This article is the meaning of the title, which belongs to "graciousness comes from the top", and is an important right of the emperor.And this list of conferred titles has also been stipulated earlier: the emperor can directly designate some local famous people to confer titles without the permission of the cabinet, and the ratio of the amount is about [-] to [-].

After announcing these items, the last one was promulgated as a more important "edict": From now on, on the grounds that the Cao family originated in Yandi, the name of the crossing country will be changed to "Dayan", and the national flag will be made with the pattern of double dragons spitting out beads. Therefore, November 11th is established as the National Day.

This is it.

Chapter 623 Retribution ([-])

There was a muffled "snap", and the foot that stepped into the puddle brought up a piece of mud.

There is no doubt that this is a pair of feet belonging to the working people.His dark skin was full of scratches and wounds, and the tattered pair of straw sandals did not offer much protection to the owner.

Looking up along the feet, it is a calf covered in mud.Further up, is the face of a civilian husband wearing a homemade blouse, a coir raincoat, and a pointed bamboo hat.
