On 30 December, the "Sichuan Provincial Assembly of the Chinese Federation" opened in Chengdu.

Compared with the old parliament, there were only more than a dozen deputies in this parliament: the deputies of the old army were replaced by officers and police representatives of the revolutionary army system.

The speaker is still Luo Guoliang, and the number of parliamentarians is still 100.

The parliamentarians were in different moods when they were notified of the meeting in Chengdu.

After reading the plan sent by Xie Niancheng to everyone, they were very worried -- Xie Niancheng asked everyone to hand over the land and precious metals such as gold and silver, and it is really difficult to say whether there will be a return in the future. But if you don't pay it, will it annoy Xie Niancheng and the consequences that you can't afford?

People who don't understand Xie Niancheng's plan basically feel that there is no essential difference between this council and the past. Xie Niancheng, like Liu Dashuai, the former Sichuan overseer, said at the meeting that because he wanted to do something, he would just ask for how much money he wanted.

Xu Geng, the officers and parliamentarians of the revolutionary army, have a simpler idea, what Xie Niancheng says in the parliament, they just agree with it. Whoever dares to oppose Xie Niancheng will be killed.

The one who is really excited is Xie Niancheng alone, which has to be said to be the sadness of the traverser.

In the early morning, the sky was beautiful, there were not many clouds in the sky, and it was estimated that it was a rare warm sunny day.

The legislators came out of the hotel, from the barracks, from their own courtyards, all dressed up neatly -- no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still had to do their superficial work.

For this parliament, Xu Wenchang and the people who saved the parliament made a lot of efforts: on the street, they organized many people to sing and dance. Thousands of the Federation's 27 Blue Star Flags and Xie Niancheng's unique single-star red flags were also displayed, making it feel like a festival.

The trees outside the main venue of the conference were covered with various slogans. Carefully selected children stood outside the venue and hung wreaths for each member of parliament.

These cutscenes are fresh for the councillors.

After entering the venue, the walls of the venue were covered with huge flags, and a huge banner was hung above the rostrum:

"Long live the Chinese Federation, long live the revolutionary army."

This is all to remind the legislators who has the final say in this land.

Ten o'clock in the morning. Speaker Luo Guoliang came to the stage and announced the opening of the meeting. After the opening remarks, Luo Guoliang announced the agenda of this parliament:

1. Announce the establishment of the Sichuan Government, the Sichuan Court, and the Sichuan Assembly of the Chinese Federation, and at the same time announce the treatment of public officials.

2. Study the "Sichuan Compulsory Education Law" and the "Slavery Ban" two laws.

3. Formulate the "Sichuan Land Reform Measures".

Fourth, study the currency reform plan and establish the "Bank of China".

5. Study the "Sichuan Industrial Development Plan".

The meeting time is tight. All five items on the agenda. A first draft was sent to each of the councillors, and the formal meeting will begin at 1 p.m.

After the official meeting begins, the moderator will be Xie Niancheng.

In terms of eloquence, Xu Wenchang and Ye Xiaoqiu can throw him out a few streets, but they can only say that they understand Xie Niancheng's concept more than others, and if they are surrounded by people to ask questions, they will definitely not be able to answer.

Therefore. Xie Niancheng was ready to stand on the stage for the whole time.

Standing on the rooftop of the lounge, looking out the window at the city of Chengdu bathed in sunlight. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Xie Niancheng clenched his fists vigorously.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Niancheng took the stage and began his first speech in parliament:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sichuan has now got rid of the rule of the old warlords and joined the federal revolutionary government in the south, how to govern it next should be a common matter for our 50 million people in Sichuan."

"On behalf of the Provisional Government and the Revolutionary Army, I would like to talk about the preliminary plan."

"In the governance of Sichuan, civil affairs will be handed over to the provincial government, law enforcement will be handed over to the newly established courts, legislation will be handed over to the parliament, and financial plans will be approved by the parliament and implemented by the government; The revolutionary army is responsible for military administration; The government is mainly composed of the Industrial Bureau, the Agricultural Bureau, the Police Bureau, the Commercial Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and the Finance Bureau...... and so on. ”

"The heads of the provincial government bureaus, nominated by the provincial president, are communicated by the provincial council. The staff of the bureaus are recruited by the specialized Public Service Administration. ”

"The remuneration arrangements for the government and the army are as follows: the provincial chairman, the president of the court, and the president of the parliament shall receive a monthly salary of five hundred yuan; $250 for the director and $100 for the section chief...... Ordinary government staff, with a monthly salary of $20; In the army, the monthly salary of the army commander is 600 yuan, the division commander is 400 yuan, and the regiment commander is 200 yuan...... Non-commissioned officers range from thirty to twenty dollars, and ordinary soldiers ten dollars. ”

These words were thought by Xie Niancheng for a long time, and he thought that he had combined the advantages of various systems, and after he finished speaking in one breath, there was silence below.

The governance plan proposed by Xie Niancheng is too advanced for the parliamentarians, and everyone has different thoughts: "Is this doll dizzy?" According to what he said, then what did he work so hard to lead the troops to conquer the country? ”

"It seems that this surnamed Xie is really a revolutionary, what he said is very similar to the system in Europe and the United States, if he really does this in Sichuan, it will be a good thing for everyone."

"The government is set up in the same way as in the past, it is still a bureau or a department, but the power of the parliament seems to be much greater, and it is also legislative, and it can authorize the director of the bureau and nominate something, and it can also supervise finance."

"What do you think about the surname Xie? Isn't this a rope on your head? It doesn't seem to look like a ...... If these things are passed in the front, and everyone in the back of the land reform and currency reform is opposed, isn't he digging a hole for himself? ”

"How's it going, do you have any questions?"

Xie Niancheng saw the people below whispering and took the initiative to ask.

"Commander Xie, these statements seem to be very good, but you didn't say where all the members of this council came from...... Wouldn't we all agree to do this, and then you would give an order to remove all our councillors, right? ”

"How could that be? I am the commander of the 17th Army of the Revolutionary Army, and I am just an ordinary member of the parliament, and I have no power to remove you. ”

"Then who is the councillor and who has the final say?"

"Well, of course, everyone decided together...... As an ordinary councillor, I proposed to build a council, that is, the councillors are elected from the local councils, one is elected from small counties, two to three is elected from large counties, and ten are elected from large cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing...... What do you guys think? ”

The member who asked the question sat down satisfied.

Xie Niancheng's plan seems to have no loopholes, and the parliamentarians naturally can't see any flaws.

Finally, someone became bold and asked everyone's heart: "Commander Xie, to tell the truth, the revolutionary army has conquered Sichuan, you can have the final say on everything, what are you trying to do with so many things?" ”

Xie Niancheng said with a straight face: "Fathers, I Xie Niancheng is doing things, thinking about the people of Sichuan, and it is not for my own selfish interests...... What I think about is how to do a good job in Sichuan and how to make my father, old and fellow villagers live a good life. ”

"I think many of you here have been to Guangzhou, Shanghai, and even abroad...... Our Sichuan is really backward now, at least 20 years behind Shanghai, and 100 years behind Europe and the United States! ”

"Europeans, the annual income of one person is equivalent to the income of dozens of people in Sichuan, and I believe that everyone here is not used to seeing this situation."

"We're lagging behind, and if we're lagging behind, it's time to catch up! So, I consulted a lot of people, and I thought about it for a long time before I came up with such a solution. ”

"How we do it in Sichuan, how to develop industry, agriculture, and commerce, I will introduce the plan to you later. However, to do those things well, it is not up to me alone, not by the 100 people here...... If we want to develop Sichuan, we must rely on the joint efforts of 50 million fathers and villagers. ”

"To do things, I think, first of all, there must be rules. There are no rules, no rules...... The power structure in Sichuan, which I just introduced, is the rule that all of us must abide by in the future. ”

"This is everyone's rules, of course, everyone should make them, so I put forward these ideas today, I hope you will give more opinions, and we will work together to formulate these rules."

Xie Niancheng said these words from the bottom of his heart.

These days, Xie Niancheng deeply feels that it is impossible for society to reform by relying on a small number of people. Especially if you want to make a big difference in just a few years, it depends on everyone coming together.

Otherwise, if you are doing things here, someone will tear down the stage on the other side, can that be done well?

Even if some policies could be forced by the force of the revolutionary army, it would not work.

After hearing Xie Niancheng's words, the parliamentarians who followed Xie Niancheng took the lead in applauding.

The gentry in the parliament are more or less people who have read the books of the sages, although in the era of dark warlord rule, everyone chose to protect themselves and go with the flow, but in the end, the pride of the Chinese people is still there, and the blood in the bottom of the heart is not cold. At this time, after listening to Xie Nian's sincere words, his numb heart became active again.

The parliamentarians stood up one after another and gave a standing ovation to express their approval of the ideas in Xie Niancheng's words.

Xie Niancheng's eyes were a little wet when he saw this scene.

Before the meeting, Xie Niancheng prepared for the worst: that is, the parliamentarians were mostly insensitive, short-sighted people who only cared about their own small families, and finally had to rely on force to carry out their plans.

Now seeing many old legislators who are over the age of sixteen and have gray hair also stand up and applaud, which makes Xie Niancheng full of hope for the future of this nation and this country.

In this land, there is no shortage of impassioned people!

Xie Niancheng walked from the podium to the open space, bowed deeply to everyone, walked to his place under the stage, and sat down in the middle of the parliamentarians.

Luo Guoliang came to power, "Please vote on the composition plan of the Sichuan government, courts, and parliament!" ”

The staff, who had already prepared the tickets, began to give invoices to the councillors.

100 to 0!

The first vote in the new parliament in Sichuan achieved amazing results.

Seeing such a result, Xie Niancheng is full of confidence that the next reform plan will be agreed by everyone: since everyone still has the heart to consider the interests of the nation and the country, after his repeated explanations, I believe that the next bill will definitely be able to go smoothly!
