If you cite the famous places in Xishu, you have to mention the Buddha of Leshan.

And those who have visited the Leshan Giant Buddha know that there is a garden on the top of the head of the Leshan Giant Buddha, called Su Garden.

Legend has it that this garden was the former residence of Su Shi, but now it has become the Xishu villa of Zhang Dai, a great writer compiled by the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily and whose pen name is the moon and the moon.

When the news of Yang Sichang's death in the line of duty reached Xishu, it was Zhang Dai's birthday, and his friend Wei Min'er and other academic celebrities were already present.

Now that the news of Yang Sichang's death came, Zhang Dai expressed his willingness to continue to participate in the election of the first assistant to the cabinet.

For Zhang Dai, although he has been stopping at the beginning of the Kejia journey, what he yearns for is to be able to glorify the old glory of his ancestors, so he hopes to become the first assistant of the cabinet in this way and let his achievements reach unprecedented heights.

Of course, in today's Ming Dynasty, if you want to become the first assistant of the cabinet, you must have your own clear political philosophy, otherwise it is not enough to convince voters, which is very different from the previous court push cabinet first assistant only looking at fame.

Therefore, Zhang Dai also has his own political ideas, he is a scholar, or a person in the field of culture, so his political attention is more focused on education and academics, he is very rejecting the mercenary atmosphere of today's society and the unhealthy trend of measuring everything by money, which is a clear stream nowadays, and has also been supported by many so-called scholars and Confucians.

For example, Wei Min'er, who has a lot of status in the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty like Gu Meisheng, announced his support for Zhang Dai, and behind Wei Min'er there is a son Zhu Cixuan who has just taken up the post of governor of Austria, this person is Zhu Youxiao's seventh son, and under normal circumstances, there will be a vote, plus Wei Min'er and Zhu Cixi's other connections, so Zhang Dai is also hopeful.

After his birthday party, he immediately rushed to Chengdu Mansion, where he met with celebrities from all walks of life in Sichuan, and gave an impassioned speech in the Sichuan University Hall, which had been built for more than ten years.

Zhang Dai is the first public figure to launch a canvassing offensive in the new round of cabinet competition.

At this time, Yang Tinglin, the governor of France, who was also interested in competing for the power of the first assistant of the cabinet, was also on his way back to the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of last year, the highway line from Paris, France to Dongyuan Province on the Black Sea coast was officially opened, which means that Paris has a national highway that can directly lead to the Ming Chang'an Mansion and then directly to the capital.

Although there is no railway, the distance from Paris to the capital has indeed been shortened a lot, and Yang Tinglin is driving his own locomotive on this road.

Due to the lack of rain in Asia Minor, many places are deserts, so Yang Tinglin, who was sitting in the car, could only see the endless yellow sand, which also made his eagerness to return to the capital even more urgent.

The locomotive that Yang Tinglin is sitting on is the latest diesel locomotive developed by Daming Royal Industrial Company, and the energy used is no longer coal but the new energy oil that is gradually opening up, plus its shell is still the latest electroplating technology electroplating, and the interior decoration is also excellent, no more than 1,000 in the whole world, but it does pull the wind and the speed is not very bad, especially in this scorching sun, because it is equipped with a refrigerator, and it will not cause heat stroke if you stay in the car.

Yang Tinglin's driver is a staff member hired by the Governor's Mansion with a high salary, and there are relatively few people who can drive this kind of locomotive in these years, so he can be regarded as a treasure by Yang Tinglin's side.

The driver knew that the governor was in a hurry to go back to Beijing to canvass for tickets, so he drove the car very fast.

After all, everyone knows that what is really needed to become the head of the cabinet is to have the support of the majority of first-class citizens in the mainland.

Yang Tinglin has always been a person who must have calm in the event of a big event, and now although the battle for canvassing is becoming more and more intense, he is not too anxious, he looks at the landscape along the way quite leisurely, he finds that since the Ming Dynasty occupied the whole of Europe and Asia, almost these new occupation areas are changing every day, he was transferred from the capital to France as a governor has just passed less than three years, but by this time, the whole Asia Minor has not seen a dome building.

On the way to the capital, you can see road signs with Chinese signs everywhere, and white people who are wearing straight clothes, these people should have obtained the status of imperial citizens or would not be beating a group of ragged people at will, Yang Tinglin's driver told him at this time that these beaten people were all nobles who were high in the past, and now on the contrary, these nobles are slaves of non-citizenship, and the poor whites who were oppressed by these nobles in the past were given third-class citizenship for helping the Ming army conquer various places. So they can now in turn abuse the people who have abused them.

Yang Tinglin observed the changes in the newly occupied areas from Europa to Asia Minor to Mobei along the way, and his heart was more touched, and when he arrived in Lanzhou, he directly began canvassing activities, and Lanzhou University Hall was his first stop.

Yang Tinglin began his activities in the northwest, Zhang Dai in the southwest, Zhang Huangyan in the southeastern coast, and some important cabinet members moved between the two capitals.

For a while, the attention of the entire Ming Dynasty was on the major candidates for the first assistant of the cabinet, and he had almost forgotten the existence of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty was also happy to go to a small manor in Anji, Huzhou to recuperate, although there is no cabinet chief assistant in the country now, he will not personally replace the cabinet chief assistant to deal with these backlog of government affairs, these people are anxious for a cabinet chief assistant, and the first thing they have to face after one of them wins is to deal with the backlog of government affairs.

Fortunately, now the country and the people are safe, since the 40th year of the Apocalypse, the climate of the entire Ming mainland has begun to become stable, and gradually warmer, so no one can deal with daily government affairs for a while.

What's more, there is also a cabinet assistant to help deal with some of it.

After Zhu Youxiao got up and pushed away the Lu family who was pressing on his body, he saw Gu Meisheng walk in: "Your Majesty, the results of the general election are about to be decided, and now Zhang Dai, the left attendant of the school, and Yang Tinglin, the crown prince and the governor of France, are far away from others, but the two of them have the same number of votes, and now only the heads of royal capital such as our Meisheng Company and the Royal Bank and the Royal Industrial Company have not voted, who do you think we vote for?" ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and said: "These guys really lack experience in political struggle, and this election really has nothing to do with me, but I don't know that the votes that really decide the outcome are in my hands, and I don't know how to come to me as soon as possible, let them learn a long lesson, especially that Zhang Dai, how did he lose to Yang Sichang last time, doesn't he know?" ”
