Chapter 62: Undercurrents are surging

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of summer and early autumn. Qiu Niang's night owls have spread the rumor throughout the Western Regions, and then the night owls took this prophecy all the way along the official road and sent the autumn wind of the Western Regions into the Beijing Division.

Over the past few days, everything has been slowly moving in the direction that Li Wenyuan hoped. Xue Renyue exerted his excellent political ability to keep the officialdom of the entire Wuwei County in order. Zhang Juntai also smoothly reorganized most of the garrisons in Wuwei County, except for a very small number of troops controlled by Li Liang's henchmen, the remaining tens of thousands of troops were all under Li Wenyuan's control.

Guantun Cheng was also completed with the help of a group of craftsmen led by the golden shopkeeper, and 20,000 homeless people were built with the help of the Wuwei County Government. Large areas of wasteland were reclaimed, and grain was replanted in time until the harvest was in the fall. Although there will not be too good grains, they will not go hungry after all.

A few days ago, Li Wenyuan's main and secondary councils have been smoothly formed, and the first agenda item has been launched: On the issue of employment and wages for the construction of water conservancy and the construction of the city wall this winter, the sub-council composed of the chief bookkeepers has put forward a motion. It is hoped that one out of every ten households in Guantun City will participate in the construction of the city wall. Among the remaining people, one out of every ten households will participate in the construction of water conservancy. Because these things are ultimately used by the people, the government hopes to no longer bear the cost of manpower in addition to the cost of materials. Those involved in the construction will only be provided with the meals they deserve every day during the construction period.

When this bill was submitted to the presiding committee for discussion, some of the thousands of elders put forward different views: Therefore, these things are used for the people, because since the people should be paid for their efforts. Therefore, after discussing with the hundred elders of their respective representatives, they proposed that those who built the city wall and built the water conservancy should be paid accordingly, not just the daily food supply.

This matter made a big fuss in Wuwei County, and the people fought for reason from the government to ensure their due treatment and welfare. It was a situation that the ordinary people and officials at all levels had never heard of in this era, so officials from all sides, as well as the factions of the family, put pressure on Li Wenyuan, hoping that he would come forward to stop this situation. Because this situation may lead to riots among the people under their own jurisdiction, Li Wenyuan withstood all the pressure and ensured the smooth discussion of the first bill.

China has always had a large number of people, and blindly pursuing democratic discussion will only lead to a decline in work efficiency. Li Wenyuan, who came from later generations, naturally knew about these drawbacks, so he set up a parliamentary gendarmerie specially to maintain the order of the congress with reference to the incidents in which some parliaments in later generations staged all-out military acts, and set the rule that only civil fighting was allowed in the parliament and no armed fighting was allowed.

When participating in the design of some detailed rules of the council. Li Wenyuan suddenly thought of the famous free veto power produced by the Polish Parliament, which was particularly dumbfounded in later generations, so he set the rule that the minority obeys the majority, which is also a setting that many people can accept. Li Wenyuan also put forward the seven-day principle, that is, any bill must be resolved within seven days after the bill is proposed, and if there is an opposition, it must put forward its own resolution bill within seven days, otherwise the original bill will be passed.

In the discussion of the first motion this time, Li Wenyuan watched the whole process, watching the interests of the main and secondary proposals competing with each other. In particular, the presiding council, which is made up of civilians. He was not afraid of the power of the sub-council composed of bureaucrats in the slightest, and actively fought for his due interests, and Li Wenyuan was very satisfied. The Chinese people have always been industrious and simple, but as long as they have a bite to eat and a way to live, they will not be easily bewitched by others and become bandits. And this chairman, elected by the people, is a pressure relief for the people's grievances, where the dialogue between the government and the people is realized, so that the people's demands can be satisfied. Peacefully resolve all the things that were previously necessary to take the risk of overthrowing the government and ensure long-term peace and stability.

The successful conclusion of the discussion of the first proposal is nothing more than that the government has come up with more money to give better treatment to the people involved in the construction, and both parties have got the results they want. Although Li Wenyuan withstood the pressure from the bureaucracy and the family, the matter was far from over. In the beginning, the bureaucracy and the family only bribed some hooligan bastards to enter the parliament and disrupt the discussions, but in the end they were arrested by the parliamentary gendarmes on charges of interfering with the proceedings of the parliament.

These are all shady methods that are unsightly behind the scenes, and Li Wenyuan doesn't care too much. Until some people didn't know how to reach out to the army, touching Li Wenyuan's bottom line, he knew in his heart that it was time to raise his sword. During this time, the night owl also developed very well. When those people first started to take action, the lists had already been sent to Li Wenyuan through the night owl.

There are people from all over the list on it. It is composed of local bureaucrats, people from local families, and even some people from the capital. Holding the thick stack of lists in his hand, Li Wenyuan knew that it was time to close the net. So the next day, the four gates of Wuwei County were closed, and it was announced that the traces of the Hu people had been found and martial law was imposed. Zhang Juntai led the army to arrest those people in the city according to the list, and for a time, the cells in Wuwei County were overcrowded.

Li Wenyuan personally sat in the town and tried the more than 200 people in front of the people of the whole county. When the Hu people invaded on the border, a thin hat was buttoned down, and even if you had great ability, you could only accept your fate and die. The heads and blood of more than 200 people, the families and bureaucrats of Wuwei County, who were shocked, restrained a lot, and they knew that they had met a person who was not easy to mess with this time, so they had to give up the idea of overthrowing Li Wenyuan from the army, and changed from seizing power to fighting for officials in a proper manner.

What other bureaucrats and families think, let's not mention it. Li Liang has been really irritable recently, and more than a dozen of his subordinates have been bewitched by someone to participate in the seizure of Li Wenyuan's military power, and they were liquidated and beheaded at this trial meeting. Those people were originally middle-level officers in the army, and now those quilts have been replaced by those brought by Li Wenyuan. However, he did not have any means or evidence to prove that those people did not participate in the incident of seizing Li Wenyuan's military power, so he came back angry and scolded those people for ruining his good deeds, and weakened the already small military power in his hands by a few points.

Coupled with the recent proverbs that have been widely circulated in the Western Regions, Li Liang feels that there is a pair of invisible hands pushing him forward, walking towards a road that he dare not imagine, but he is looking forward to, and the ambition that has been buried in his heart for a long time can't help but heat up again.
