"The second purpose is to formulate an agreement that all the internal members of our three places in Lushun recognize, and on the basis of the agreement, at the same time ensure the implementation and binding force of the policy. No, it's not just a matter of rules, but the people who make the rules can be above the rules themselves, and the rules need to be made by everyone together, based on fairness and fairness. Once the rules come out, everyone abides by them, this is the spirit of the contract, if the rules can be changed according to their own desires, then there is no need to talk about any rules, you have heard it countless times in the past few days, so I won't say much here"

"The third purpose is that you can truly and effectively express the demands of most of our Lushun interest communities......"

Yang Bo deliberately paused, in order to give everyone time to think: "Many people here today think that we have made this Ministry of Political Affairs very fresh, there is nothing new under the sun, let me tell you, in fact, our ancestors have long played similar things, the three emperors and five emperors, they are fighting endlessly on behalf of their respective tribes, and later some far-sighted chiefs said, when is it a head to fight and kill?" Why don't we sit down and negotiate a compromise and make a contract, how about we choose a respected tribal chief to be the co-lord of the world? In this way, everyone doesn't have to fight endlessly for a little food, we don't have to focus on our own people, let's be unanimous with the outside world, and let the co-owner distribute the food and population that we have robbed? So the concept of the state was born, and more than two thousand years ago, the cradle of Western civilization, ancient Greece, priests. John Tong, you should know, right? They also adopt this system, our neighbors. This tribal election system is still maintained in the Mongolian steppe, and some people will ask, my lord, you designed this retro system in the hope that our three places in Lushun will be stronger in the future, right? But the open source of Western history, where did the ancient Greek civilization go? Our Chinese dynasty is in turmoil and change, and every time there is a change of dynasty in history. It was completed at the cost of nearly half of the people's lives, and the cycle went on and on. And this system has never really been able to stop this from happening, why? ”

This brings me to the third point, the real and effective expression of the demands of the majority of the community of interests, Greece and the early election system. We can call it the system of election of slave owners. All this has nothing to do with the slaves at the bottom, you are also slaves, but now you are different, you have the opportunity to be the master of the house, so I want to ask you ......"

Yang Bo looked around and suddenly said, "Xiao Changgui!" ”

Xiao Changgui from the Management Department of the Private School in the Three Places was startled, and quickly got up and said, "My lord? ”

"Can you, Xiao Changgui, really represent the interests of all the private schools in our three places in Lushun?" Yang Bo asked loudly

"Yes!" Xiao Changgui replied

Yang Bo nodded and motioned for him to sit down, and his gaze turned to the next one

"Yu Bendao? Can you represent the interests of disabled and retired veterans? ”

Yu Bendao hurriedly got up and said, "Yes." Yes."

"If many veterans react that prices are too expensive now, it is too hard to live on pensions. What do you do? Yang Bo asked again

"This, this I must have raised it in the Ministry of Counsel, asking for an increase in the pension of veterans," Yu Bendao stammered as he replied.

Yang Bo nodded, then turned to the direction of the elder and asked

"Han Cai'e, can you represent the interests of women and children in the three places? What would you do if your baby cried to you that her parents had forced her to bind her feet? ”

Han Cai'e didn't know why the adults couldn't get along with the foot binding, she stood up and said in a panic: "Just tell the adults, I will definitely bring it up, as for how to decide......"

Yang Bo ignored her, and turned to Zhang Shixiong again: "Shixiong, if you receive a report, and the evidence is conclusive, and the civil affairs officer Han Yan'er is corrupt, what will you do?" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly converged on Han Yan'er, and Han Yan'er twisted on the patriarchal position, seemingly a little uneasy......

Zhang Shixiong thought for a while and said, "I will submit an impeachment to the Ministry of Counsel, remove him from all positions first, and then try him in the newly established Judicial Yuan." ”

Yang Bo was silent for a moment and then said: "Han Yan'er is my right-hand man, he is in a high position, and Lushun can't do without him for a day, is it appropriate for you to do this?" ”

Zhang Shixiong said loudly: "I represent the judicial system, if the evidence is conclusive and not impeached, then I am afraid that the position of the patriarch will not be stable, and the adults have also said that once corruption is opened, it will not be closed, and the purpose of the establishment of the Ministry of Participation is to customize the contract and supervise the officials, if the regulations are determined by the person, then there is no need to be established." ”

Yang Bo's face couldn't see joy and anger, and he asked Jin Changgui, the commercial representative: "Businessmen, they like to make friends with powerful people the most, why?" Because power is silver, I ask you, what would you do as a commercial representative if a businessman in your Ministry of Commerce bribed a magistrate? ”

Jin Changgui stood up and said again and again: "My lord, this, the villain will cancel his business qualifications and send him to the judicial Lord Zhang for disposal." ”

Yang Bo pretended to be surprised: "Why? Wouldn't it be better to do business with the powerful? Isn't that in the interest of your Ministry of Commerce? As a representative, you should encourage this kind of behavior, right? ”

Jin Changgui was sweating, of course he knew that he shouldn't nod, but he didn't know how to answer Yang Bo's words.

Yang Bo waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and said: "Relying on improper means to achieve success is unfair to other honest businessmen, then you should stand up and stop this kind of behavior that infringes on the interests of the majority of people, so you must not only disqualify him from business, but also report him to the judicial Lord Zhang for handling along with the officials who accepted bribes."

Jin Changgui nodded and said, "The little one understands, the adult"

Yang Bo saw that it was almost over, so he waved his hand and said: "Having said so much, there are three foundations for the establishment of the Ministry of Political Affairs, first, the establishment of a high-level decision-making framework, now I have set up a shelf, as for how to sing next, it depends on your own, second, to formulate a contract that everyone abides by, I have prepared this for you, you will review and revise the ...... one by one in a while"

After speaking, Xiao Wu came in with a few people. Distribute some pieces of paper in turn to everyone in the room.

"We don't lack the spirit of contract, especially the people at the bottom, who are often more trustworthy than those who read. Our nation is simple by nature, and since ancient times, there have been various sayings such as a thousand gold and a promise, people do not stand without faith, etc., but what do we lack? What is missing is to write down the spirit of the contract by means of rules and consciously abide by it, you don't have to worry about it first, you will have a lot of time to read it after I finish speaking."

Hearing Yang Bo's words, the whispering stopped.

"The third is whether we, ordinary people, can formulate policies that are in line with the long-term common interests of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in our three places in Lushun. That's the question of qualifications, and at the moment, you're coming from a variety of different sectors. Representatives of almost all strata are included, and then the conditions necessary for the establishment of the Ministry of Participation are met, the most important of which is Article 3. It's not about the number of people who are in charge. It's about whether you can fully or most of the real interests of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the three places of Lushun, but people will change, you will become richer, and finally break away from the lives of the people, I said ugly things in front, once I find that you can't represent the interests of all strata, then I will dissolve the Ministry of Political Affairs, and Lushun will decide no matter how big or small it is. When that time comes, don't blame me for not looking out for your interests."

Yang Bo said the threat viciously. There was a dead silence in the hall, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Yang Bo's gaze, Yang Bo didn't care what they thought, once they gained power, although they had the right to supervise, but as long as they exercised this right, it would be difficult to take it back, especially if it was mixed with their own interests.

Lushun has never been guilty of words, so someone quickly stood up and said, "My lord, are you violating the contract by doing this?" ”

A few voices echoed in low voices, but they all hid their heads under the table, not caught by Yang Bo's gaze.

"Wrong, that's because you broke the contract, if I'm not willing to abide by the contract, then I'm full and have nothing to do to do to set up the Ministry of Politics? As I said earlier, what I need is a big net to supervise all the local officials and the people for me, and if you don't involve all strata, what do I want you to do? Supervise yourself? Do you believe it? And in the future, the role of the Ministry of Participation is more important, that is, when there is a major crisis in our Lushun, there is the ability to correct, there is a chance to save yourself, the more classes participate, the more efforts of everyone to work together, the easier it is to spontaneously find the right way, if you violate the contract and block the opportunity for other classes to participate, then I don't want such a Ministry of Participation, so you don't want me to take back the rights, then the most important thing is to immediately formulate a contract that can be signed by me and let everyone be willing to abide by it, I will find someone to engrave these contracts on the stone tablet at the entrance of the political department, Lushun has already had this sign, using power for personal gain, letting henchmen, corruption and corruption, such a law of the jungle has caused social injustice, and finally it cannot be controlled and turned into turmoil, you go back to the previous life of food and clothing, or you will find a rule that attaches to long-term interests, this is your only task, understand? Yang Bo asked loudly.

"Understood" a few people replied sparsely, some people had their eyes flashing and thinking, and more people were looking at the thing that Yang Bo sent to everyone, called Magna Carta.

"The road to hell is paved with kindness. A truly good society is not a paradise, but a flawed society that can be continuously improved, respects each other, is willing to compromise, and seeks common ground while reserving differences. Father, this is just a parable, I have no intention of blaspheming God and Heaven, you kings! Yang Bo nodded, and finally let go of a matter of concern, and how they quarreled next, it was none of his business.

Bi Fangji stood up and said with a smile: "God created the difference between poverty and wealth, not to make us hate each other or even hate each other, but to make us love each other, I am willing to work hard with Zhixian to build such a society......"

Walking to the door, Yang Bo walked back with some unease, ignoring everyone's surprised gazes and said, "There is another very important thing I forgot to remind you, do you know who the most eternal enemy of the Ministry of Political Affairs is?" ”

Everyone was taken aback by Yang Bo's words, and they all turned their heads and ears, they didn't understand what Yang Bo meant by the enemy?

Yang Bo nodded and repeated: "Yes, the eternal enemy of the Ministry of Political Affairs is not a Tartar slave, not a tyrant, not a Catholic, not a hundred schools of Buddhism, but Donglin, Confucianism, the enemy I am talking about is not the enemy who slashes with a knife on the battlefield, but here."

Yang Bo pointed to his head, saw everyone's confused eyes, and said, "It's a conflict of thinking." It is more cruel and bloody than slashing with a knife, and the Ministry of Participation can compromise with any class, but with Confucianism, there is no room for compromise. Either you are defeated by Confucianism, or you are defeated by them, there is no third way to go, Father, you are full of poetry and books, so can you answer me a question, what is the core idea of Confucianism? ”

Bi Fangji stroked his beard. Pondered for a moment: "Ren? Or is it love? ”

Yang Bo shook his head in slight disappointment: "Wrong, priest, the core essence of Confucianism is to use Confucius to advocate benevolence and love wrapped in heaven and earth. You are sitting here to negotiate on an equal footing, compromise with each other and find a decision that can take care of the interests of the majority. What they need is to find the Holy King. The so-called Holy Monarch is nothing more than an emperor who can satisfy their desire for power, you are looking for a way to restrain power, they are looking for a way to maximize power, so there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two, this is a war! To be honest, I'm pretty sure I'm going to win this long, invisible war, but I need time to ......"

Yang Bo raised his voice and said, "That's what the imperial court looks like. A large group of Donglin party members are controlling the government and fighting for power and profit. What should I do if I don't want to? What if they are so bad that they change the dynasty? Don't be afraid, they will put the blame on others, what emperor is mediocre, the people are rude, and then continue to find a new master, as long as the new master is willing to let them participate in the governance of the country, even if it is a foreign race, it doesn't matter, fortunately, we have experienced war in southern Liaoning, and there are not many Confucian students in Lushun, but I still want to warn you, Confucianism is a very tenacious cancer, and with the expansion of territory in the future, there will be many such people who will come to join one after another, you hold the right to review the qualifications of representatives, I hope you can be vigilant, Whether it is Song Ming Theory, Saving Heavenly Principles to Destroy Human Desires, Inner Sage and Outer King, What Neo-Confucianism, What Moral Governance and other bullshit, no matter what high-sounding banner they have, the interests of this class do not need us to worry, Lushun has its own cultural class, but at present, our cultural class is still very weak, and it is not the opponent of Confucianism, we need your protection, how to protect, limit the number of Confucian students entering the high-level, if you want to enter the high-level Lushun can, then you must accept our thoughts, accept our contract, Accept equality of status, accept cultural identity, and fail to do so, all ask them to get out of the way......"

Hearing Yang Bo call Confucianism shit without scruples, Bi Fangji, who has always regarded himself as a Confucian student, was a little dark-faced, but thinking about his identity as a preacher, his heart was relieved.

Under the instruction of Yang Bo, the villagers began to review the Magna Carta submitted by Yang Bo behind closed doors, all the eating and living were completed on the second floor of the chamber, and after three days of review, some people were busy with affairs in the department, and they wanted to ask for leave to slip away, Yang Bo did not allow, let them designate a deputy to take over, and they were not allowed to come out after the review, in order to better supervise them, Yang Bo also personally got a single room on the second floor to work, everyone complained bitterly, but there was no way, they could only continue to sit in the chamber and quarrel, no way, Yang Bo submitted a lot of objections, Supporters and opponents quarreled, several times to the brink of conflict, in fact, for a township old house representative of the qualification charter they quarreled for three whole days, several groups of people quarreled with black eyes when they couldn't move to ignore each other, in the end this proposal or the rest of the food, if not Yang Bo's threat first, I am afraid that there will be a fight, Yang Bo is not in a hurry, don't come out if you don't pass, you must learn to compromise if you want to come out,

Compared with the elders, it was much easier, Xiao Mochou found an opportunity and quietly reported to Yang Bo about Xiucai's movements during this period of time.

Yang Bo looked at the map and muttered, "What difficulties do they still have? ”

Xiao Mochou took out a list, glanced at it a few times, and said: "They lack a lot of things, silver, firearms, grain and grass, artillery salt, as well as seeds for tuntian, cattle, farm tools, etc., young master, take a look at this list, young master." ”

Yang Bo shook his head and said: "Don't look at it, the grain transportation is inconvenient, the best production in the south of the artillery river, these two things are bought with silver, you can't buy them to rob, you are responsible for contacting the divisions, raising other things for them, in the name of Xie Bai Trading Company, send troops to escort them over, they have just gained a foothold, and there are difficulties." ”

Xiao Mochou whispered: "Why did the adults designate them in Henan?" There are thousands of miles of red land, it is inconvenient to garrison troops, it is difficult to buy food with silver, and it depends on God's will to settle the fields, even if there is a locust plague, it will be over, I estimate that they will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency in a few years, which is a big expense."

Yang Bo shook his head and said: "There are some things that need to be considered in the long run, and the strategic situation in the north has been elaborated in the five-year plan, but what about the south?" ”

After speaking, Yang Bo drew a line on the map with charcoal, Xiao Mochou looked at it for a while, nodded with a happy face, and said, "It turns out that the young master has long had this intention."

Yang Bo sighed: "The most difficult battle we fight is not in the north, but in the south, and it is difficult to say where we will go in the future, but this infamy, I'm afraid I will have to remember it forever......"

Xiao Mochou was a little surprised, he didn't know why Yang Bo was so depressed, he didn't dare to speak, he thought about it and said carefully: "Young master, Xiucai imitated the military system of the Thunder Brigade, with more than sixty veterans as the skeleton, and in just half a year, he pulled out six battalions of soldiers and horses, and there are almost no opponents in Shandong and Henan, if it is ......"

Yang Bo glanced at Xiao Mochou deeply, and said: "These things are not for you to worry about, you just need to support them with all your might, and I heard that the military discipline of the bandit army is not maintained well, and many cadres have begun to be contaminated with the habits of bandits and bandits, you go and tell Xiucai, if you don't pay attention to discipline, then the bandit army is no different from other bandits, and in the future, let the Thunder Division meet, there is only one way to exterminate it."

Xiao Mochou saw that Yang Bo had already taken a countermeasure, so he relieved his heart and left...... (To be continued......)
