The next meeting is scheduled for three days later, and three days, whether long or short, is not too long, not too short, and with this time as a buffer, it is enough to change a lot of things, but it is not enough to change a lot of things.

Returning to the governor's yamen, Chen Kai is still on duty, on duty, handling official business, still on duty, going home, and enjoying his family, without the slightest change. He also has no intention of influencing or intervening in the great changes in the outside world, as if all this has nothing to do with it.

To the outside, this is true. But Zheng Xiyuan is Chen Kai's pillow person, Chen Kai does not hide from her in many things, and even lets her participate in it, so everything she sees is completely different from others.

"Husband, are they in tandem?"

"Yes." Intoxicated with "Historical Records", Chen Kai's eyes still did not leave the words that he had read many times, and he also expressed a positive attitude towards Zheng Xiyuan's tone that could no longer be called a question: "Only by holding together can they be warm, and they have figured out the rules of survival here." ”

On the surface, everything is the same, but through the Guangdong Governor's Yamen, through the Guangdong Trading Company and the Guangdong Business Alliance, Chen Kai is afraid that his understanding of the outside world is clearer than that of those involved. According to the information obtained from various sources, when the meeting was over, they gathered in groups to discuss, and the lights in the room remained on all night. It wasn't until the next morning that the groups of three or five began to look for other participants through their connections.

For a time, in the major green buildings, inns, and restaurants in Guangzhou City, they talked about their origins, talked about fame, talked about friendships, and set up docks, which made it a good and lively, and the first beneficiary was the high-end catering industry and entertainment industry in Fucheng.

The reason why this is the case is, in the final analysis, it is still the word rule. Chen Kai said in advance that the seats of the Council were elected by the Guangdong Business Alliance, that is, from among the participants. The conference convened by Chen Kai this time covered most of the prefectures and counties in Guangdong, and they did not know the specific number of participants, but it seemed that it would not be less than 300 people. But the problem is that Chen Kai didn't indicate how many people to be selected at all, so they had to work harder to connect in tandem in order to further expand their hopes.

got a positive answer, Zheng Xiyuan knew very well that the reason why they chose to act according to such a law of survival was that they had decided to get on Chen Kai's thief ship.

It's not that there are people who don't want to get on the boat, but these people who can be invited are not such pedantic guys who come home, seeing that others are so eager, a herd mentality is enough to change their minds, not to mention that there must be people around them who are still admonishing them in detail. In fact, in the final analysis, it was Chen Kai who specially selected when he was invited, and blocked out those potential diehards in advance, and now it can go more smoothly.

The plan seems to be going well, but Zheng Xiyuan still can't help but worry about it. That worry existed long before Chen Kai decided to convene this conference, Rao is that she wants to know the details better than others, but it is still inevitable, even if it is now developing benignly.

"Husband, the concubine is only afraid that these people will get together, and it may be difficult to control it in the future......"

Zheng Xiyuan had such an idea for a long time, and it was not without hinting at it earlier, but Chen Kai didn't care. In the meantime, seeing that powerful people in those places are colluding with each other to seek a seat, Zheng Xiyuan's worries are even deeper, so deep that he has to pay lip service.

The desire for absolute control over everything is not only as simple as wanting to be peaceful, but also a manifestation of a lack of security - the emperor's status is supreme, and the height is unbearable, and out of the fear of losing the supreme position, he will inevitably seek the concentration of power. And Zheng Xiyuan is like this, but what Chen Kai did is purely unknown to her, and there is no trace to be found.

Raising his head, Chen Kai, who knew why his wife was like this, smiled slightly, and was full of confidence in the study, and ended the discussion here with just the words "Dayu controls the water".

Three days passed quickly, and when he came to the venue again, Chen Kai was not as late as the last time, because there was no need for it.

In the venue, the layout is still the same as the last conference, even the seats are the same as the last time, and there is only one empty seat, in the last row. Chen Kai didn't know who the person who left was, but it didn't matter anymore, because he glanced condescendingly on the stage here, and all he saw was eager to try.

"Pandora's box is about to be opened."

Standing on the podium, Chen Kai only made a brief opening remarks and announced a vote on whether to form an advisory board.

Just like the style of the GDH Business Alliance, there are three options on a ticket - yes, no and abstention, as long as you put a circle on the corresponding option on it, it is enough to put a circle on it, and there is no need to write, it is simple and straightforward. The process of invoicing was also done by special people, but when the decision was made, Chen Kai directly asked the participants to go directly to the ballot box that had been placed at the front of the stage to put their votes into it.

Doing it in person and passing others before the ticket will feel worse than directly participating in it, and there will be an extra risk of changing tickets, so Chen Kai simply made the necessary improvements to this system.

This kind of process is very familiar to the businessmen and gentry of the Guangdong Business Alliance, and others have learned the same, and it doesn't take too long for all the tickets to be put into the ballot box. Next, it is the work of the vote, Chen Kai did not interfere, and directly asked them to publicly launch a person to be responsible for the vote, but the following two people were actually launched, and the support was almost the same, Chen Kai simply asked the two of them to be responsible for half of the vote work, and he sat directly on the chair and watched all this happen silently.

"The Confucian students of Chaozhou, the oldest of the participants, have taught and educated people all their lives, have taught many Confucian students, and have a certain prestige in the local area; And the well-dressed fat man is the major shareholder of the Shunde silk weaving workshop, the inventor of the voting system, and now the silk weaving industry in Shunde is not only recovering rapidly, but also radiating to the surrounding areas, this person is also speaking very weightily among the members of the Guangdong Business Alliance in Guangzhou. ”

After reading the two voters, Chen Kai also has a bottom in his heart. The largest number of participants in the audience were Chaozhou and Guangzhou, because these two places were the most deep-rooted places of the Ming army's power. In the northern part of Huizhou Prefecture, Shaozhou Prefecture, Nanxiong Prefecture and Zhaoqing Prefecture, most of these places have a relatively short recovery time, and their influence is far from being comparable with these two places. However, Chen Kai noticed that there was actually one more person, but unfortunately the number of votes was worse than the previous one, but it was also supported by a large number of people in Qiongzhou Mansion.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's the Double Heroes Meeting now, and it should be the Romance of the Three Kingdoms after a while."

With a clear understanding in his heart, Chen Kai's attention returned to the place where the ticket was recorded. The old Confucian students in Chaozhou are higher in age and social status, so the major shareholder is very consciously pushed to the second place. During this time, I saw that the old Confucian took out the ballots one by one, shouted out the contents of them, and then put them in the corresponding area on the case after raising his hand to publicize them, and pressed them with a paperweight to avoid being disturbed by the wind.

The ballots were sung one by one, and Chen Kai was actually able to foresee them when he saw them. Sure enough, when the old Confucian sang the first half of the votes he was responsible for, he really agreed to the establishment of the Advisory Bureau, and he didn't even abstain from voting.

The old Confucian completed his mission, Chen Kai stood up and gave the old Confucian a little military platform, and the old man also replied impeccably, and then staggered down. Obviously, the work of the vote just now is not an easy job for his age, especially when it needs to be as loud as possible so that it can be heard by a wider audience.

took over the baton, and the major shareholder walked to the front of the case and bowed to Chen Kai and the audience. Immediately, the unexpectedly unexpectedly recorded votes were completed without suspense. Of course, it is not without suspense, at least Chen Kai is still waiting for the arrival of an abstention vote, so that he can see some other voices, but unfortunately it has not been achieved.

"As for the vote on whether to prepare for the establishment of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau, 362 people attended the meeting, and 361 people actually passed it by a vote in accordance with effective procedures!"

The applause from the audience sounded like thunder, and after Chen Kai announced the result, he didn't say much, stared at the audience, and continued to speak until the applause gradually began to ebb.

"The Advisory Council has been established, and I believe that this will be a decision that will always be remembered in the history of Guangdong, the Ming Dynasty, and even the world, and it is the monarchs here who have made these decisions." There was another round of applause, and they were obviously more excited than Chen Kai, because power and interests were at their fingertips, and they were now in front of their eyes: "Next, the next round of voting will be held to elect the first batch of members of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau." ”

This is the moment they have been waiting for a long time, and even in the eyes of some short-tempered guys, the vote on whether to prepare for the Guangdong Consultative Bureau is a waste of time, and this is the real drama.

Play meat, according to the new voting method - this time only blank ballots will be issued, write the name of the person to be elected, each person can write three, and finally determine the qualifications of the councillors according to the number of votes - some is like the process of Chen Kai when he was in school, but according to him, this time there will probably be no hormonal votes and funny votes, because everyone here knows how much the value of the votes in their hands is.

Out of a total of 361 members, Chen Kai decided to elect 81 members of the Council as the first batch of members. This number was specially calculated by Chen Kai, but there was no need for him to make it clear to everyone why he came up with this number, and he only used a number of ninety-nine to say more.

The tickets were distributed, Chen Kai glanced at everyone on the stage, and the back was too far away to see clearly, but in the front rows, those candidates looked at each other from time to time, revealing some intentions that they could understand each other, although Chen Kai was not clear, but they could roughly understand - they had been connecting in tandem for the previous three days, weren't they preparing for the present?

Invoicing, writing, voting, and counting votes, this time it took not three times as much time as a simple answer, Chen Kai just watched, watching them go through the procedure step by step, and then according to the number of individual votes, starting from the largest number of votes, after the eighty-one people were discharged, this election was completed.

"From now on, you will be the first batch of members of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau. This official hopes that you can practice the principle of speaking on behalf of the people and asking for your life for the name, fill in the gaps for your own officials, and work hard to build a better Guangdong. ”

After Buda, Chen Kai announced that he would build an office for the Advisory Bureau in the city of Guangzhou. The specific location, in fact, Chen Kai has already thought about it, then demolish part of Geng Jimao's Jingnan Palace, and use part of the buildings and land as the office of the Advisory Bureau. As for the Pingnan Palace, which is still gratifying, he continued to keep it for the Yongli Emperor, in case the Son of Heaven wanted to use Guangzhou as his place in the future, and he happened to live next to those local snakes in the Consultative Bureau. That scene must have been excellent.

Personnel were selected, and Chen Kai also comforted the participants who were unsuccessful - there is no place for the Provincial Consultative Bureau, and there will be no Provincial Consultative Bureau a year later. Moreover, the position of the Provincial Consultative Bureau is not fixed, and the first batch is actually more about the rationality of the experimental system, and when the time is ripe, a formal election will be held, and since then there will be a re-election every few years, and there will always be opportunities.

Actually, there is no need for so much nonsense from Chen Kai. Most of the elected members and the participants who voted for them had a tacit understanding, and they looked at each other and felt at ease. As for how the next exchange of interests should be, that is after the meeting.

"Since the Council has been established, there must be a corresponding system, and the official has drawn up some of them, which can be submitted to the members of the council for discussion. This is the next work, before the official work, the official can give the monarch two months of provincial leave, so that he can go home to explain the corresponding affairs, so that he can devote himself to the work of the country and the people. ”

It will take time to renovate the premises of the Consultative Bureau, and Chen Kai also plans to use their provincial relatives to publicize this system in Guangdong Province for free. However, these parliamentarians who have just won the election have said that the state affairs are as urgent as a spark, and there is no breath to waste, and they unanimously said that they can directly exempt the holidays of the provincial relatives. Of course, Chen Kai still has to thank him for his kindness.

"They don't have enough confidence right now, so they have to look at my face."

Below are the longing eyes, Chen Kai pretended to think about it, and then nodded, indicating that it is the will of the people, so it is inconvenient for him to hinder the loyalty and patriotism of the parliamentarians. Leave is waived, and a meeting to discuss the system will begin. However, before starting, Chen Kai has an issue related to the fate of the country and the well-being of the people that needs to be discussed by lawmakers and voted on to make a decision.

"The Tartars broke through the pass and went south, and in two or three years, they squeezed the king's division to the southwestern provinces. However, on the southeast coast, Wang Shi fought a long struggle against the Tartars with his sailors, and has regained a large amount of lost territory today. The official thinks that to have such a brilliant record, the Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China, and the people's desire is one of them; The generals and soldiers used their lives, and the civil officials and staff worked hard to plan for the second; But the more important thing is the blessing of the concubine Niangniang, not to mention, the recovery of Guangdong in the eighth year of Yongli, if it is not for the blessing of the concubine Niangniang The army can arrive as scheduled, the royal division is bound to be broken by the captive division, which must not be ignored. ”

At the end of the foreshadowing, Chen Kaidang even took out his proposal: "Therefore, this official believes that when he is the son of heaven, he canonizes the concubine Niangniang as the queen of heaven, so as to praise her benevolence in protecting the king and the coastal people." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
