Chapter 605: Round Table
Zhao Shuo has been thinking about one thing these days, that is, how to promote the parliamentary system, Qin Hui has too many concerns, and it is obviously impossible to balance the interests of all parties, although Qin Hui has been constantly breaking back these days, but it is still too late. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, if the parliamentary system wants to continue to be implemented according to Zhao Shuo's ideas, it can only rely on Zhao Shuo himself.
However, if it is enforced, it is too different from what Qin Hui implements, and it may directly cause dissatisfaction from all parties, which is not what Zhao Shuo wants to see.
After thinking about it, Zhao Shuo thought of an idea. Roundtable, let's talk about it face to face.
After having this idea, Zhao Shuo immediately ordered, anxious a group of carpenters, and began to cling to the round table.
During this period, he gave Qin Hui an order to suspend the promotion of the parliamentary system and wait for his next order.
After doing this, Zhao Shuo began to issue orders to the Hou Ye in various places.
Of course, people like Qin Hui, the lord of the big city, Wanyan Kang of the Jin State, Li Renxiao of Western Xia, Duan Zhengxing of Dali, and Yelupu Suwan, who can represent Western Liao, are all in Chang'an, so Zhao Shuo can find them directly.
In addition to these people, Zhao Shuo also summoned the Marquis of the Fu Dynasty, Qi Hou Yue Fei, Kereyi Ti of the Kerebu Department, Li Jun, the Marquis of Burma, the Seven Buddhas of Shu Marquis, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ziyan of the Song Land, and Li Tianzuo, who had just inherited the throne of the Li Dynasty.
After the will was issued, Zhao Shuo began to prepare and wait.
Time passed little by little, and after Lin Feng's efforts, or in other words, the timely support of Zhao Shuo's army, Lin Feng led the army to land in the Sicilian Peninsula and Sardinia.
At the same time, Lin Feng conveyed Zhao Shuo's letter to the world, as long as he is willing to take refuge, he only needs to hand over his military and diplomatic rights, and he can enjoy a high degree of autonomy.
Of course, in addition to this, Zhao Shuo also needs another instruction, that is, if you really don't want to take refuge, you can open the port for trade.
Zhao Shuo was willing to sell them weapons such as small artillery shells that could contain the Mongol army.
Zhao Shuo's move, it was quite ruthless.
These European countries have no chance of winning in the face of the powerful Mongol army, but they are really unwilling to let them hand over diplomatic and military power like this.
And Zhao Shuo's move can be regarded as a compromise.
Some countries in Europe soon began to buy small cannonballs from Lin Feng, and of course, the price of small cannonballs was also quite high.
Selling weapons and letting the Europeans smash the Mongols to the death, this is Zhao Shuo's method.
Of course, after these Europeans could not defeat the Mongols, they would inevitably choose to defect to Zhao Shuo, and if they were lucky enough to defeat the Mongols, Zhao Shuo would adopt them before they could develop.
All in all, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, once the two tigers stop fighting, Zhao Shuo will take action to stimulate them.
More than half a year passed in a flicker, and on this day, when Li Tianzuo arrived in Chang'an, everyone finally arrived.
During this time, Fluttershy and Jerup gave birth to a son, and Fluttershy gave birth to a daughter, although Fluttershy was a little unwilling and depressed, but Zhao Shuo loved this daughter the most.
Yan Wu was also pregnant under Zhao Shuo's continuous efforts, which made Yan Wu have a lot of smiles on her face.
"Go and get me all these people." Zhao Shuo handed a list to Ge Shan.
"Your Majesty, will they all come here?" Looking at the list, there were quite a few people, and the parlor didn't look particularly big.
"What are you doing here, forget the round table house I built." Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "Let them go there."
Because there are too many people this time, plus this kind of meeting in the future, Zhao Shuo believes that there will be more people in you, so the round table established is quite a hit.
In order to accommodate this round table, Zhao Shuo specially built a room, which he affectionately called the round table house.
But this title is really hard to compliment. What palace and what palace are the names of other emperors, Zhao Shuo made a round table house, this momentum, there is really no comparison. It's cheesy.
But Zhao Shuo is the emperor, he is willing to do this, no one can help it.
After Geshan went down to call people, Zhao Shuo came to this round table house first.
A round table house, as the name suggests, is a large room with only one round table.
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as Zhao Shuo enters, Fluttershy welcomes him.
"Why are you doing this again? Don't have to take care of my daughter? Zhao Shuo pouted and asked.
"Your Majesty, you know your daughter now, and you don't care about me anymore." Fluttershy is coquettish.
"Your Majesty, isn't it a little wrong for me to come!" Jelupu, who arrived first, quickly pushed open the door and said with a smile.
"You're here fast." Zhao Shuo said.
"Your Majesty's order, who dares to be unhappy, especially your guard, directly said, Your Majesty has an order, let you go immediately." Yelupu smiled bitterly. "How can I say that I am also His Majesty's wife, he is too powerless to do this, Your Majesty, you have to talk about him."
"Pu Suwan, you are not here this time, not on behalf of my wife, if you want to represent my wife, you have to go back to the backyard to rest immediately." Zhao Shuo looked at Yelupu with a smile on his face.
"Lord, what do you mean?" Yelupu frowned and asked softly.
"It's very simple, this time, it's the first parliamentary discussion, you represent Xiliao, if you are not happy, I will pass on the decree to Xiao Tianyan again." Zhao Shuo said.
"Your Majesty, Xiliao is all Your Majesty's, not to mention the concubines, Your Majesty says what's going on, just what, then where do I sit?" Yelupu's heart was extremely excited, she represented Xiliao, and Xiliao would be hers in the future. Now that she has a son and Xiliao, it will be of great help to his son to compete for the throne in the future.
"Sit anywhere, you can sit!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand casually.
Next, the Hou Lords from all over the world continue to arrive, and Fluttershy beckons a group of maids to take care of the tea and snacks for the meeting.
"Everyone, it's not easy for everyone to get together once, so I'll get to the point." Facing the table full of local officials, Zhao Shuo said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Everyone stood up in unison, bowed and said.
"I called you here for the parliamentary system, and today, this king will tell you what the parliamentary system is." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.
Lords, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
"Since everyone has no opinion, then I'll start talking." Zhao Shuo glanced at everyone and laughed.
"The parliamentary system is not for me, nor for you, but for the whole country, so to speak. I know that many of you feel that parliamentarism touches your rights, but think about it, when parliament blesses the people, the country can be more stable. ”
"How many dynasties have fallen throughout the ages, have you ever thought about the reasons for this? To put it bluntly, they are all officials, and they deviate from the royal road a little bit, causing the people to fall into misery. This provoked the popular uprising, and only then did there be a change of dynasty. ”
And this is to do our best to protect the interests of the majority, so that the dynasty becomes more stable. It's not for me, it's not for you, but the dynasty is stable, and your descendants will naturally be able to benefit from it. ”
"Your Majesty, we know your painstaking efforts, but the parliamentary system needs representatives who represent the interests of all parties, and the number of representatives has become the key to determining the direction ......of a meeting.
After Yan Yan opened his mouth, this was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Shuo.
Wan Yan Kang is in Chang'an, and now he is still a student, Zhao Shuo asked him to come, because Wan Yan Kang has been in Chang'an for a long time, it should be easier to understand his thoughts.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought.
"Wanyan Yan, I ask you, how do you think the representatives can be distributed so that all parties can be fair?" Zhao Shuo threw the question to Wan Yan Kang.
After Yan Yan thought about it, he said. "Your Majesty, although I don't know how to distribute it, I have to come up with a fair standard. In this way, all places are implemented according to the standard, and it is clear at a glance how much it represents, and no one can say anything. ”
"So who has the right standard of pacification?" Zhao Shuo asked again.
"Army!" Fold and seek the way.
"Economic level!" Zhao Yan said.
"It depends on generating income for the country, after all, the more you do for the country, the more you deserve it." This time it was Zhao Ziwei who spoke. It's just that what he said was obviously really helping or supplementing Zhao Yan's words.
"I think it's the population." This time it's Qin Hui. There is nothing else in the big city-state that can be compared with Ben except people.
"Anything else is okay, the army is definitely not good, all the military power has been handed over to Your Majesty, we have no military power with Ben, the local soldiers and horses are all for maintaining daily law and order, if it is better than this, it must be those generals who have the advantage, which is obviously unfair." Li Tianzuo first vetoed the argument that he could ask for it at this time.
"What are you talking about, milky little hairy boy!" Zhe Keqiu looked at Li Tianzuo angrily.
"The economy is not good, everyone knows that the most developed is Songdi, if it is calculated according to the economy, then needless to say, we all have to lose to Songdi." Duan Zhengxing shook his head and vetoed Zhao Yan and Zhao Ziyan's statement.
"After all, the large flow of population is related to the land, economy, and environment in various places, and the population itself is small, even if it is a few hundred years later, it will not be more than some places, this is the most unfair." Kleeiti opened his mouth and vetoed Qin Hui's statement.
"What's that? Is it more than land? That's not fair, right? Lee In-hyo laughed. Our Western Xia has just submitted to Your Majesty, so everything is still up to Your Majesty. After all, such a rare problem, we can't think of a unified standard. ”
Zhao Shuo glanced at everyone and said. "I have an indicator, listen to it."
After a pause, Zhao Shuo continued. "The standard of living per capita! What do you guys think? ”
As soon as Zhao Shuo's words came out, everyone was stunned, they didn't know what the 'per capita living standard' was.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Zhao Shuo explained. "The per capita standard of living is the average value of how the people live in various places, and this can be counted by the income of the people everywhere, and then divided by the number of people, so that a value can appear, this is the pig is the per capita living standard that I require."
Glancing at everyone, Zhao Shuo continued. "This value has nothing to do with the number of people, it has nothing to do with economic development, and it has nothing to do with the number of troops, after all, the army belongs to the country, not to a certain person, so the per capita standard of living does not include the army."
Smiling, Zhao Shuo asked. "What do you think, let's talk about it!"
"Your Majesty, this per capita living value is ...... for those of us who have a large number of people and a bad living situation" Qin Hui looked bitter and stopped talking.
It's a big risk to open your mouth at this time. After all, taking per capita living standards as the standard was proposed by Zhao Shuo.
And Qin Hui, now that the lord of this big city-state has not yet sat down, once he angers Zhao Shuo, he may be deposed at any time.
"National reform, you shouldn't have suggested this!" Zhao Shuo looked at everyone.
For this, many places have already completed reforms, and the results have been remarkable. The people are rich, the government is rich, the princes everywhere are rich, and the country is even richer. It's something that benefits the whole country.
Seeing that everyone nodded, Zhao Shuo continued. "After the reform, the policies are the same everywhere, and whether they can be developed depends on what you are doing. The better the overall benefit, the more people there will be, so the average will be smaller, and where there are not many people, it seems that the benefit is not much, but the draw value is not low, so in order to get a better value, what you have to do is to make the people everywhere live better and better. ”
Smiling, Zhao Shuo added. "Well, this looks fair enough!"
"Your Majesty, the rules proposed are extremely fair and admirable, and the ministers are willing to follow them." The first to speak was Li Jun.
He had already lived a nourishing life in Liangshan, but Zhao Shuo was stunned and pulled him here.
Everything in Siam has long had nothing to do with him, but Zhao Shuo's words will definitely benefit the local people.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the people or for Zhao Shuo, Li Jun has made the right choice.
Of course, Li Jun also knew in his heart that Zhao Shuo called him here to express his position at this moment.
After Li Jun made a statement, the second person to stand up was Fang Qifo. "The minister agrees with His Majesty's decision. Be willing to follow through and never repent. ”
He already knew about Fang Yunsheng looking for Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo didn't say anything, he knew very well what it meant.
Only when he follows behind Zhao Shuo, Fang Yunsheng's son, will he have more opportunities to seek the throne.
"Your Majesty's words, I also agree." This time it was Jerupp who finished quickly. Her thoughts were very similar to those of Fang Qi Buddha.
Subsequently, everyone expressed their willingness to implement Zhao Shuo's request.
Zhao Shuo nodded. "Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then the first parliamentary discussion is considered to be a successful conclusion, after you go back, each of you will send a representative to form a round table council, and after half a year, I will investigate the per capita living standards of various places, and then decide the number of deputies next time."
Patting the table, Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Alright, let's go back and get ready, and adjourn."
