Chapter 156: Forming a Cabinet (II)

The Donglin Party's policy won the first place among the parties, and the Qi Party did not attach much importance to this policy because it relied on the relationship with Zhao Yan and belonged to the same Shandong faction, but only wrote some clichés symbolizing the surname, compared with the clichés of the rest of the parties, it can be said to be the penultimate first, Zhao Yan did not hesitate, and directly criticized it.

On the first day of October, Zhao Yan once again convened all parties.

The party leaders and deputies of various parties arrived at the 'Cabinet Executive Yuan' where Zhao Yan was staying early in the morning to wait, and Qian Qianyi also came early in the morning, and he was not in a very good mood.

The Ming Cooking Party led by Yan Jizu and the Republican Party led by Zhu Dadian have occupied half of the seats, which is the spoils of Zhao Yan as the victor.

Lu Xiangsheng's royalists occupy a quarter of the seats, which can be seen as a compromise between Zhao Yan and the feudal officials, and the remaining 25% of the seats are allocated to these officials of the DPRK and China who have no military power, irrelevant and more tricky.

The Donglin Party, at most, like other parties, will share a little bit of the scraps, and it will be insignificant in the cabinet, but Qian Qianyi's confidence is still there.

Because there are many members of the Donglin Party in the Royalist Party, these Donglin Party members can enter the Royalist Party, and most of them are upright people, and if they encounter a decision, they only need to say a reason, and they can be drawn to their side, and at the same time, they can also make friends with the Republican Party and the Ming Cook Party, so that his voice will be much higher.

Of course, Qian Qianyi naturally did not have a fool to challenge Zhao Yan's authority, he intended to make friends with the Republican Party and the Mingzhu Party, just to improve his right to speak.

Qian Qianyi can be seen that Shandong is strong and strong, and the management is greater than that of other provinces, as long as Zhao Yan does not overheat his mind and fight too much, Chongzhen will not have any room to turn over before Zhao Yan dies.

From the point of view of age and physique, it is clear who will live a long life, at least before he hangs up, Chongzhen and Zhao Yan may not be hanging, so Qian Qianyi naturally understands who to turn to.

Qian Qianyi visited Zhao Yan before, but was turned away, and the rest of the parties were the same, so it seems that if you want to take refuge in Zhao Yan, you can only express it from action.

In terms of future, Qian Qianyi has absolute confidence.

Because Zhao Yan lacks a strong supporter. Although Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian supported Zhao Yan, neither of them had his reputation.

This fame refers to the literary aspect, and his status in the hearts of the world's scholars is definitely beyond that of Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng is in power, he does not fully support Zhao Yan, and he is still under the banner of royalism, so he can only be said to be a neutral faction with a bottom line and guidelines.

Yan Jizu needless to say, compared with him Qian Qianyi, his reputation is far behind.

As for Chen Zhongsheng, not long after entering the court, although people in the world know this person, he has no prestige. Not to mention Sun Chuanting, he clearly stood on the opposite side of Zhao Yan.

At the same time, the 50 cabinet members of the Republican Party and the Ming Cook Party are all nameless.

After analyzing all the way, Qian Qianyi felt that Zhao Yan lacked an assistant with appeal, and his appeal was naturally not blown.

As long as after the cabinet is formed, respond to Zhao Yan's intentions more and shout more on the "Daming Daily", he will naturally be cited by Zhao Yan as a confidant, and it will be natural to be promoted to become rich at that time.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, all the members of all parties arrived, except for the 50 cabinet members of the Republican Party and the Ming Cooking Party, and the 25 cabinet members of the Royalist Party, and the other nine parties and nearly 100 officials present.

At this time, Zhao Yan walked out of the back hall.

Zhao Yan's spirit looks so good, since he fell Chongzhen, he is in a good mood, coupled with the long-term exercise, and the incredibly strong physique after the crossing, he is absolutely full of energy.

Zhao Yan held a dozen thick strategies in his hand, as soon as he walked out, everyone saluted him, the sentence 'I have seen the general', in the unison of nearly two hundred people, is even more deafening than the sound of long live in the previous dynasty, of course, it is not excluded that the fifty cabinet members transferred from Shandong pulled their throats. Zhao Yan smiled back and said, "You guys sit down and talk with this official!" ”

"General Xie." Everyone said in unison again, and sat down with Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan shook the thick stack of strategies in his hand, glanced up, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

Looking at Zhao Yan like this, he is going to announce the ranking of the merits and disadvantages of the strategy.

"There are 12 parties in the work, except for the three major parties of the Republican Party, the Ming Cooking Party, and the Royalist Party, and the policies of the other nine parties are all here." Zhao Yan said and raised the strategy in his hand a little higher, and then continued: "The merits of the strategy are reviewed by this official overnight yesterday, and the ranking is also determined. However, whether the ranking is good or bad is not decided by the official alone, since we are waiting for the government of Ming Cooking, we should do the Ming Cooking, this official will read it out again, and the ranking will be decided by the people present. ”

All the officials present were the same, even Sun Chuanting, they originally thought that the remaining twenty-five seats would definitely be determined by Zhao Yan's preferences, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Is it a show?

This idea came to the minds of many people, if Zhao Yan wanted to make a show, with so many of his personnel on the scene, plus some officials were afraid of his power, he could completely say that the black was white and the dead were alive.

It's hypocrisy!

However, what happened next was once again unexpected by the officials present.

I saw Zhao Yan take out a strategy from the bottom and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's start now!" The penultimate is the Qi Party Policy ......"

Zhao Yan handed over the strategy, and Mao Yuanyi, who was on the side, took it and read it out.

The Qi Party's policy was very brief and the content was very empty, and it was quickly finished, and the faces of the Qi Party officials below changed, and only then did they realize that Zhao Yan did not favor them because they were from the same Shandong.

The faces of the other officials became strange, but they were more puzzled, not knowing what trick Zhao Yan was playing.

"Qi Party policy theory, nonsense, and don't bother to write, presumably it should be one down, and there should be no objection to it." Zhao Yan raised his voice and said.

The hundreds of officials below began to discuss, and those Qi party officials were red-faced. The officials present once again couldn't figure out what trick Zhao Yan was playing.

Only Lu Xiangsheng, who has more contact with Zhao Yan, knows Zhao Yan's style, Zhao Yan acts, he doesn't like any conspiracy and tricks, and he is even more upright.

According to the rules of survival in officialdom, people like Zhao Yan are 100% the type who will die at the grassroots level when they mix in officialdom, but Zhao Yan has never mixed in officialdom, but speaks with strong force.

His rise is all based on the continuous accumulation of strength, and he takes the supreme royal road, and those in power who like to use intrigue and do not think about development often have times when they are in trouble, because in addition to intrigues, their own force is very weak, that is, they cannot destroy the enemy country from the top, and they cannot resist the enemy country's ** extermination of them.

The Qi Party was quickly excluded, originally Zhao Yan wanted to arrange more seats for them, but it was because they were too uncompetitive that they actually made such a bad strategy, and with Zhao Yan's judgment principle, they were also powerless! Now the Qi Party officials can only be sent to the localities.

Although these Qi Party officials are not much better in [***], they are at least in Zhao Yan's camp, and they are more cooperative in their actions.

Then, Zhao Yan asked Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Zhi to read out the rest of the party policies one by one, and after reading, Zhao Yan would give a reason for judging the merits and disadvantages. Some of the officials present did not agree with some of Zhao Yan's views, but under the debate between the two sides, those officials quickly retreated, and Zhao Yan grasped the truth in every point of view, but these truths did not necessarily make sense in this era, so they needed to be dialectic.

There are many people on Zhao Yan's side, and the more he talks, the more it makes people feel reasonable, and those officials who dare not agree are speechless one by one, and they can only be worshipped.

When he read the eighth policy, he still didn't see the Donglin Party's policy, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but be surprised, Zhao Yan actually gave the first to the Donglin Party?

This is something that Qian Qianyi never expected, and it is also something that all the Donglin Party did not expect.

"The policy written by the Donglin Party, compared with the previous eight, is more pragmatic and deserves to be the first." Zhao Yan got up and said after Mao Yuanyi finished reading the Donglin Party's strategy. However, Zhao Yan then changed his words and continued: "However, in the policy of the Donglin Party, it is said that the light business tax is for the benefit of the people, but the official does not dare to agree. ”

"The general's words are wrong, but the light commercial tax can benefit the people! For example, if a farmer needs an iron hoe, if the court collects the mining tax, the price of the iron hoe will inevitably rise, and it will only cost one penny of silver, but then it will need two or even three coins of silver, so that the people will be miserable. At this time, a Donglin Party official came out to retort.

"Ridiculous." Zhao Yan suddenly slapped the table, scolded loudly, and asked rhetorically: "Hmph, is it true that all businesses in the world are blacksmiths who make hoes?" The "Treatise on Industrial and Commercial Regulations" written by this official has made it very clear that if you want to benefit the people, according to your argument, you can ask the cabinet to subsidize the blacksmith and let him sell a hoe of three coins for one penny, and as for the commercial tax, it will be collected as it is. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yan was angry, the Donglin Party official was hurriedly given a look by Qian Qianyi.

"Well, since you have no objections, then the ranking of the strategy is thus arranged." Zhao Yan glanced at the hundreds of officials sitting in a row, and saw that they didn't speak, so he said directly.

"The general is wise." Suddenly, an official came out to flatter, and when other officials saw this, they hesitated for a while, and then stood up and echoed.

Many officials don't like flattery, but some people take the lead, and more and more people get up, if they don't get up, they are afraid of being targeted by Zhao Yan, and then they will be detained with a basin of Yang Sichang's party, then they won't be able to eat and go around.

Soon, all the officials got up, and in the wise voice of a great general, Zhao Yan raised his hand and pressed it casually, and the hundred officials sat down one after another, and Zhao Yan continued: "According to the policy, the Donglin Party has five seats, and the Zhejiang Party ranks second with three seats...... Qi Party is at the bottom, one seat, from the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was formally formed, in charge of Ming political affairs, you must remember, as a cabinet member, you need to be honest and honest as an official, and you need to do a good job in people's livelihood, observe public opinion, advocate civil rights, if anyone is corrupt and bribe-taking, the official will definitely be punished. ”

"Can you remember?" Zhao Yan got up and looked around, and asked the officials present in a deep voice, looking condescending and giving orders.
