Chapter 174: Lin'an Thorough Reform
Li Yibai took a half-month vacation in the political affairs hall, and then left the capital with Long Wu and returned to Lin'an. ←
However, after Li Yibai left, the political hall was the world of Cai Jing Group. There are two important ministers in the political hall who are Cai Jing's henchmen, one is Li Yan and the other is Zhu Mian.
Both of these men joined Cai Jing Group many years ago. They are the core personnel of Cai Jing Group. Of course, they can't really listen to Li Yibai's words. They must be in trouble.
'Brother Li, this time Li Yibai wants to implement the new law. How are we going to do it. Zhu Mian asked Li Yandao.
Of course, we can't let Li Yibai succeed. We directly changed his decree. This caused the people to misunderstand and oppose his new law. Li Yan said proudly.
'Hmm. Yes, we do that in the North Side. At that time, the people sighed, and Li Yibai's prestige naturally decreased. If the emperor knew that we had done this, he would probably be overjoyed. Zhu Mian said happily
Lin'an is Li Yibai's base camp, which is the most developed place in the Great Song Dynasty. The infrastructure construction here will continue, and at the same time, it is also a pilot economic zone for Li Yibai. He couldn't get out of his way to do anything else, and after promulgating two laws that were beneficial to the people, he hurried back here to deal with the affairs here.
'How's the various plants running downstream of heavy industry?' Li Yibai asked.
Long Wu reported, "Our rolling mill and steel pipe mill are already in operation. But now it's all running at a loss, because none of the things they produce have been sold. Now the demand for iron tools in the Great Song Dynasty is only in weapons and agricultural tools. That's too little. ’
'Let's start with the construction of the water pipeline. At the same time, those steel pipes can also be used as natural gas pipelines for our country. Therefore, the construction of our infrastructure has always been inseparable from heavy industry. ’
Li Yibai said lightly.
'Dad, you're right. Father. I think we should move a little faster in Lin'an. After all, you are now the King of Wu. It's the prime minister again. The conditions are ripe for a strong and thorough reform in Lin'an. ’
Ryugo suggested.
Li Yibai nodded, "Long Wu, what you said is good. That's what I'm coming back for. We must quickly build Lin'an into a society with a legal system. The rest of the country can be slow, but Lin'an can't be slow. Lin'an now has some modern products. Moreover, it is a test area, and we can do some experimental results here so that we can promote it to the whole country in the future.
Long Wu, you immediately notify all the officials of Lin'an to come to my other courtyard for a meeting. I would like to announce the restructuring of Lin'an. ’
'Yes, Daddy. After Long Wu finished speaking, he sent someone to inform him.
Since Li Yibai has a radio station. Bao Dazui had already informed the officials on the radio. Those officials like to listen to the radio, and they heard Li Yibai looking for them. They came immediately, Li Yibai is the prime minister.
Soon all the officials of Lin'an arrived.
Li Yibai sat at the front desk of the conference room in the annex and faced them.
Li Yibai sat next to Liu Erqiu and Long Wu.
The officials sat in rows below, waiting for Li Yibai's speech.
Li Yibai said indifferently, "Hello everyone. I have invited you here today to make an announcement. That is, I want to reform in Lin'an. ’
'Lin'an reform. The officials were all talking and talking to each other.
Liu Erqiu also turned his head and asked Li Yibai and said, "Big brother, why is Lin'an reforming." ’
Li Yibai waved his hand, and the audience left to calm down, and he continued. I know everyone wonders why Lin'an is reforming.
I don't want to talk too much. We use modern technology instead of explaining to me. ’
Saying that, Li Yibai waved his hand, and Xiaoqiang took out a pocket projector. Immediately the projector turned on.
The 'Squeak Squeak' projector played a public service announcement film of Li Yibai changing the Great Song Dynasty. The one that Long Wu saw in Li Yibai's audio-visual room at the beginning.
'Beautiful, green and environmentally friendly new Song. The new Great Song Dynasty with a civilized legal system and a free law, in the end, the Great Song Dynasty will be built into a paradise-like country. ’
After the documentary was played.
'Okay. One of the officials below immediately clapped his hands and shouted.
After a moment, 'Okay. The whole city applauded, and the officials applauded. However, many of these people are trying to shoot Li Yibai's ass and cater to Li Yibai. They also don't understand what is shown on the public welfare film, and why they want to build a new Song Dynasty and why they need to reform.
Li Yibai waved his hand again and smiled, "Don't be busy cheering, everyone." I know a lot of you are here to cater to me. But I want to hear different opinions, not those who agree with me all the time, or who are confused and half-incomprehensible.
I need people to understand my idea and agree with it.
If we build the new Great Song Dynasty well, this is for the people, and this is the blessing of the people. Of course, you will also enjoy happiness, although you are now an official, but if you can't keep your descendants, you won't be an official. There are many things in the family, even if you leave more wealth for your children and grandchildren now, you can't keep your children and grandchildren happy.
I ask you, do you know how to keep your children and grandchildren happy? ’
At this time, many officials, you look at me, I look at you. They all shook their heads.
'Your Royal Highness, you are right. Indeed, no matter how much money you accumulate for your children and grandchildren, you will not be able to keep it all in on the line, and your grandchildren will decline. I think we should leave it to our children and grandchildren to write poetry and pay attention to education. As long as they can be admitted to the imperial examination and continue to be officials, they will definitely be happy even if the dynasty changes. Because being an official has everything. ’
It was Sun Zhixian of Qiantang who spoke.
Sun Zhixian is right. That's the reason. Other officials agreed.
Li Yibai smiled faintly, "Sun Zhixian is just a little right. Education is important, but in the end, it's for the sake of a small family. Everyone knows the era of Yao Shun. It was a truly paradise-like time. The people live and work in peace and contentment, life is worry-free, everyone is happy and free, there were no officials at that time, there was no work and rest, the people respected Yao Shun and enjoyed the happiness brought by Yao Shun.
In fact, what is more is that the world of that era was harmonious. So everybody is happy.
Therefore, if you want to make your children and grandchildren happy, you must start by changing the world, and you must achieve the prosperity of the country, the peace of the country, and the fairness of the country.
Just imagine, if as Sun Zhixian said, even if they become officials, they may die without a place to bury because they are on the wrong side of the line, or they meet a faint king. This kind of thing is common.
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that in the Southern Han Dynasty in the fifth dynasty, if you want to be an official, you must be a eunuch. May I ask your children and grandchildren if they meet such an emperor, are they officials? Or don't you be an official? ’
'This. The officials looked at each other again, not knowing what to answer.
'King Wu is wise. Sure enough, reform is beneficial. So that our children will be safe and happy forever. ’
It was still Sun Zhixian in Qiantang, he was smarter, and immediately answered.
'yes. Oh, yes. As soon as King Wu said this, I understood. We can't save money. And to accumulate money we had to loot the people, and the people complained about us. At the same time, we are also weak-minded, after all, the sages we read teach us to be honest and honest. ’
'King Wu is wise, according to King Wu's words, our children and grandchildren can live happily even if they don't become officials in the future. ’
Other officials said.
Li Yibai nodded, "That's right. How many generations can the emperor pass on? With this kind of reform, we can maintain the prosperity of the country and the fairness and justice of society. You don't have to worry about the survival of the country or the change of dynasties.
The lives of children and grandchildren will always be happy and worry-free. It's a paradise-like society. ’
'Really? That's great. I support reform. Since there are so many benefits of reform. ’
I support it too. I want to see my children and grandchildren prosper and that they live happily. ’
Many officials have said.
Not only did they speak, but they slapped the table in agreement.
Li Yibai raised his hand, "It's a good thing that you agree." However, we will also encounter some problems in the course of reform. You can just bring it up when the time comes.
I am Li Shimin, and I will adopt your opinions if they are favorable. I will praise those who give advice, and I will reward important opinions.
Even if I make the wrong opinion, I will not punish him.
Therefore, you should be enthusiastic about advice and do not have any scruples. ’
'Good. Big brother, you're too wise. If you do this, our Lin'an politics must be the clearest. Liu Erqiu couldn't control the joy in his heart and said to Li Yibai.
Li Yibai continued, "I announce that the reform is officially carried out, and in the future, Long Wu will be the prime minister of the internal affairs of the reform, and his official position will be the pacification envoy of Lin'an.
You are all reformers. Usually you have to work together on business reform matters.
As the leader of each region, it is most appropriate for you to be the cabinet members, so that the decree can be thoroughly implemented and there will be less resistance.
Of course, if there is any resistance, you can report it to me in time, and I will settle it. ’
'Yes, King Wu. We will definitely do our best. Many officials bowed.
Li Yibai smiled again and said, "If any of you support the reform wholeheartedly, I will not treat him badly." He may be promoted to a knighthood, and he will also receive an in-kind reward.
I know that many of you envy my sports car, and those who do well at that time will be rewarded with sports cars, and there will also be a reward of 50,000 taels of silver. I will not break my word. ’
When Li Yibai said this, many people were excited. They whispered,
Li Yibai is so powerful, I think he will definitely be able to do what he wants to do. His kind of formation makes people accept without a fight. Such a rich reward is hard for both a gentleman and a villain to resist. ’
That is, Li Yibai has changed from a broken businessman to a prince. This ability is not comparable to ordinary people, we will try to be honest and obedient in the future, otherwise the end will be miserable. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
