"This ......"

Wei Aiwen was stunned, although he was a little mentally prepared and thought that voting might not be so easy, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big - the key is that there was no objection at all in the debate beforehand! If everyone disagrees, why don't they even say a word of opposition in the pre-event debate?

However, the two votes before and after have made it very clear the attitude of the majority of the people in the chamber, and there is absolutely no problem of unclear expression. When he was at a loss, he heard the voice of the host, Aunt Song, announcing the end of the voting and failing to get through the issue. After the vote was over, everyone stood up and left the conference hall in twos and threes.

Looking around blankly, when a person passed by him, Wei Aiwen couldn't help but pull the other party:

"Brother Feng, didn't you just say that you don't have a negative opinion on my Jianyi in general?"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I'll agree to change the current course - according to your proposal, we will sever relations with the Ming Dynasty, and the commercial trade will inevitably be hit hard, how can the people in our business system support you?"

Lin Feng's rhetorical question made Wei Aiwen speechless, and he paid attention when voting just now. After two votes, the only ones who supported him were those little brothers who applauded and clapped in the morning, and one of the committee members, Ye Mengyan, expressed his support, but he was the only one.

"If only Xiao Lang and they were still here......"

Wei Aiwen thought to himself, Xiao Lang's complaint about the long-term control of the large collective decision-making power by the staff group is not a day or two. Moreover, as a big bull in the group in terms of industrial machinery and the number one contributor to the research of steam engines, Xiao Lang's prestige in the collective is also quite high, and a considerable number of people in the mechanical group are united around him. If he had taken the lead in supporting himself, the result of today's vote would not have been so ugly.

It's a pity that Xiao Lang and his entire small team are now in Shandong - Xiao Lang volunteered to take over Shandong affairs, but he didn't have much hope, after all, this is to snatch work from another small team, and as the biggest contributor to the expansion of territory in the Qiong Navy, Xie Pang Yu and other people have always been smooth sailing in the big collective.

It was only due to their own mistakes that the steering committee did not stand on their side this time, and Xiao Lang took advantage of the fisherman's profit and was appointed as the commander of the Shandong base. However, Xiao Lang knows very well that this kind of thing is not just a superior appointment, if he goes to Shandong alone to take office, even if the brothers there have no factional views, they are willing to support him, after all, there will be some problems in cooperation, at least in the short term, it will be difficult to make a big difference.

He didn't have much time to get the position on the grounds that the Shandong base needed "industrialization" at the moment, but this was only a staged reason. If they are careless this time, they will definitely be able to recover and regain this position in a short time. After all, the official hat of "Weihaiwei Counselor" is still worn on Xie Xi's head, and as a template figure for the cooperation between Qiong Navy and the Ming Dynasty, the Weihaiwei base will have to be responsible for Xie Xi sooner or later - just wait for him to serve his wife and give birth to a child.

So Xiao Lang didn't expect to control Weihaiwei for a long time from the beginning, he just needed to use it as a springboard to make as many achievements as possible, and prove to the big collective that not only the team can open up outward, but our science students who are engaged in machinery can still lead the army to fight the world! And to prove this, there are obviously far more opportunities on the Shandong mainland, which is close to the interior of the Ming Dynasty, than on Hainan Island. Xiao Lang brought a lot of people with him for this purpose, including his friends who tended to be his friends in the team and his more trusted subordinates in the mechanical group, and even came to Wei Aiwen before leaving, asking him if he would like to go to Shandong with him - the two of them have always had a good relationship.

However, Xiao Wei also has his own abacus - it can be seen from the fact that there are more than ten people willing to support him today, and he Wei Aiwen is also a small force in the big collective, and of course he will not be willing to help others. And Xiao Lang's success this time made Wei Aiwen see an opportunity, and he felt that he could also try to challenge it to see how the previous route of cooperation with the Ming Dynasty was in everyone's minds, and whether everyone was still willing to go in this direction. He even went further: I wanted to see if I could challenge the monopoly of the staff group on collective policy.

Now the result is out-of-fiasco, but Wei Aiwen is not convinced. It's not that he can't accept the voting results, after all, everyone is in full view, everyone follows the rules, and there is nothing to complain about if they are willing to gamble and lose. But what made Xiao Wei feel extremely depressed was that he obviously appeared as a resistance fighter who tried to challenge the authority of the staff group, but from the beginning to the end, people didn't seem to take him seriously at all, and there was no process of debating and rebutting.

This feeling made Wei Aiwen very unhappy, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that he is still confused after defeat, Wei Aiwen feels that he must figure out where he is losing.

Who should I turn to? It's obviously impossible for those people in the staff group, so ......

After several years of collective life, Wei Aiwen is no longer the middle school student who did not understand the world after all, and that night, he knocked on the door of Li Mingyuan's old man's house with some gifts.

Professor Li was a little surprised, but he still received him very politely. As the oldest and most respected gentleman in the Qiong Navy, he was easily trusted by everyone by nature - this trust was fully demonstrated by his two elections to the chairman of the committee, and if he had not withdrawn himself for the third time, he would have had no problem continuing to be re-elected. And usually, everyone is used to confiding in the old man if they have anything in their hearts, and Xiao Wei came over this time for a similar purpose.

At first, Wei Aiwen's confession was a little confusing, because even he himself didn't quite understand what he wanted to say and what he should say. But talking about this kind of thing is like this: after talking too much, it is natural and transparent, and under the gentle comfort and patient persuasion of the old professor, Wei Aiwen slowly sorted out his thoughts, and finally figured out why he came.

“…… You see, I really didn't come to you because I was vetoed. I also know that my advice may not be mature in some aspects, and it is understandable that everyone can't accept it. I just don't think we can go on like this. Our current line is indeed very similar to that of the Kuomintang! -- For those who could be bought, they tried their best to buy them, and relied on the benefits of sprinkling silver dollars to open up relations with the Donglin Party, and then maintain cooperation with the Ming Empire...... It looks like it's a great thing, but the foundation is too unstable! Pang Yu himself said that they can't change their hexagrams and turn their faces with the Ming Dynasty anymore, but will the Ming Dynasty change their hexagrams? ”

"You are always engaged in history, and you must be much more familiar with this aspect than me, and you must know what virtues those people in the Ming Dynasty had. Isn't it the same as the 'national reunification' that the old Jiang bought with a silver dollar? -- We also know what happened to Lao Jiang later. Professor, we can't do this! ”

Seeing that Wei Aiwen's face was full of excitement, Professor Li pointed to the teacup on the table and motioned for him to take two sips of tea first—this was just brought by Aunt Song. Although Aunt Song is now in the position of chairman of the committee, she is still just a kind and kind old lady at home, and she does not participate in the conversation between them, and goes to other rooms after tea.

After Wei Aiwen calmed down a little, the old professor smiled and said:

"So, Xiao Wei, do you have any better advice on this?"

Wei Aiwen opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything—he found that he had been talking around for a long time, but instead he had set a logical trap for himself: if he could put forward the proposals, of course, the ones he had put forward in the conference hall during the day, but they had been cleanly rejected by the plenary meeting. Including the old Professor Li in front of him, he also voted against it at that time, and it is meaningless to bring it up again at this time.

Fortunately, Old Professor Li is not a mean person, and when he saw Wei Aiwen's stammering appearance, he did not laugh at him, but patted his arm gently:

"Xiao Wei, after listening to you for a long time, I roughly understand some of your thoughts - do you think that there is something wrong with our current entire decision-making system?"

Wei Aiwen was stunned, but then it suddenly dawned on him - the old man pierced the window paper with a word, pointing out the concept in his heart that had been vaguely stored but could never grasp it.

"That's right! Professor Li, I do think ...... There is a problem with our line, but the plenary meeting is only willing to accept such a line, which shows that the decision-making body is problematic, and sometimes the large number of people may not be correct! ”

Professor Li smiled.

"What kind of decision-making group do you think should be established?"

- This sentence again, but this time Wei Aiwen did not hesitate, and immediately responded:

"Of course, it's the kind of ...... when our republic was founded. Only such a group can truly save the country and save the country! ”

Wei Aiwen's words obviously surprised Professor Li, he looked at Xiao Wei's young and enthusiastic face, and was stunned for a while, before he smiled lightly:

"It's really surprising, I thought that most of today's young people are against that system."

Xiao Wei touched his head a little embarrassed:

"In the past, I used to say bad things about that system on the Internet - is it fashionable, but when I really got to this environment, I found that it was still that kind of system that worked best. Professor, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, our current leadership body is really unqualified - yes, I mean the plenary meeting and the committee: loose, unorganized and disciplined, daily meetings come and go as you want, and you can participate in the topic if you want to participate, and quit if you don't want to participate, the whole thing is a club! ”RS
