Chapter 266: Initiative to Divide Power
As soon as Yang Biao's words were finished, a large number of battalion commanders and several division commanders suddenly stood up around him. "We are all the same as Yang Biao, supporting Yu Junshi."
Yu Ren stood up at this time, "Don't believe the rumors outside. The matter of splitting up power was requested by me on my own initiative, and it had nothing to do with Liu San's family. I did this for the sake of the healthy development of our parents.
You know, we can't guarantee that everyone who will sit in my position in the future will be selfless for the Xu family. The excessive concentration of power will make it easy for people in this position to use the power in their hands for their own personal gain. Therefore, it is necessary for people to check and balance him.
Since we will still do this kind of decentralization in the future, it is better to start from now, from me. I propose that my post as a military adviser be removed and divided into two posts, one for internal affairs and one for foreign affairs, and that I be called Prime Minister of Internal Affairs and Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs.
I thought I would be better suited to handle foreign affairs. What we need to do now is to elect another prime minister. ”
After listening to Yu Ren's words, everyone stopped speaking. Suddenly, a battalion commander behind Liu Long stood up and said in a loud voice, "I choose Liu San to be in charge." He was originally our third master, but now the boss is dead, and the second boss has surrendered to the court. Even if it is about seniority, it should be ranked for him. ”
Huang Ji'an, who was standing opposite Liu Long, suddenly snorted coldly, "As the saying goes: there is no order to learn, and those who can are respected." Let's Xu family, don't look at the tens of thousands of people now, it seems to be very beautiful. But don't forget, we were just pursued by the officers and soldiers, and we almost all died in the sea. At this time, we are like a small boat in the center of the storm, which may capsize at any time.
How can we relax, how can we be comfortable! So, we're now going to choose competence, not qualifications. In my opinion, the prime minister of the interior should focus on selecting virtue and talent, and he should not only be able to make everyone absolutely trusted, but also have sufficient ability to deal with problems. I propose that Xu Qian do it. ”
Liu Long listened to Huang Ji'an's words, and his eyes widened angrily, but he couldn't do anything at all. Huang Ji'an's words are equivalent to saying that he relied on the old and sold the old, and he relied on Xu Keming's uncle to achieve his current position, not by his ability.
"I propose that Mr. Qu be the prime minister of the interior." Someone shouted.
Yu Renxun's prestige was some of Qu Jing's subordinates in Daqu Mountain. These people now account for a large proportion of the Xu family, no less than one-third.
"I said that Liu San should be in charge."
"Mr. Qu should be the one to do."
"Should ......"
All of a sudden, there was chaos in the chamber. This conference hall was set up temporarily, originally, it was very crowded to accommodate so many people, and at this time, Yu Ren was really afraid that this temporary conference hall would collapse.
"Okay, you can argue, but be careful and move gently. Otherwise, we won't have a meeting in a while, but we will repair the house first. Yu Ren stood up and said.
Everyone laughed when they heard Yu Ren's words, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot at once.
When everyone saw Yu Ren stand up and speak, they all slowly quieted down. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Yu Ren together. They all thought that Yu Ren was going to announce who would be the prime minister of the interior. Because they have always been accustomed to listening to Yu Ren's arrangement. In their hearts, when they encounter a dispute, it is natural for Yu Ren to come forward and make a decision.
However, this time, Yu Ren did not make a decision.
"In my opinion, I will take Liu Dangjia, Xiaoqian, and Mr. Qu as alternatives. Let's vote by show of hands. But now there are too many people, and it is inconvenient and convenient. I propose that we elect some of our representatives. The division commander and above stay, and the others will quit! ”
Everyone didn't expect that this time Yu Ren didn't make a decision, but let them vote on their own. However, Yu Ren's decision made them admire him even more.
As soon as Yu Ren's decision was announced, no one raised any objections, and everyone took the initiative to regroup. The leaders of the battalion all withdrew. The temporary venue suddenly became much more relaxed.
After everyone sat down again, Yu Ren continued to speak.
"Now we have three opinions here, one is to choose Mr. Qu, one is to choose Liu San to be the master, and the other is to choose Xu Qian.
Here, I don't want to do anything that is a clapper decision. If I encounter something similar in the future, I will still deal with it the same. In the future, in our Xu family, all major things must be decided by everyone's joint vote. Except, of course, for military matters. This is because the military has two very important characteristics: one is timeliness, and the other is secrecy.
If there is a war, let's make a decision and make a decision like this. I'm afraid that before we can make a decision, the enemy has already hit our door. Again, fighting a war is the most important strategy, and if we discuss our strategy and tactics at a meeting of so many people, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be heard by the enemy. That's why I say that military matters should be excluded. ”
After saying this, Yu Ren glanced at the reactions of the people below. They were all listening attentively, and no one seemed to object. Even Liu Long and the two division commanders he brought were the same. Yu Ren was a little relieved. He's actually very afraid of messing around with them. Because there were many things he couldn't explain to them, just like letting Yu Zhigao go.
This matter may indeed have some of his selfish motives, but he is more of a consideration for the Xu family to be able to gain a stable foothold in Taiwan in the future. But it was too complicated for him to explain to them.
Now seeing that Liu Long finally stopped making trouble, Yu Ren was also relieved.
"Okay, then I'll give you my personal opinion. There can only be one Prime Minister of the Interior, but we now have three candidates. I suggest that we just choose one positive one, and then choose two negative ones, and let the two vice prime ministers assist the positive prime minister, what do you think? ”
"Good. …… OK. "There were no further objections.
Yu Ren nodded. "Well, in that case, then I'll give you a little more of my final opinion. My opinion is inclined to have Xu Qian take the main position, and Liu Dangjia and Mr. Qu to assist her. Because Xu Qian is the daughter of the old boss and the sister-in-law of the big boss. I think everyone knows her intelligence very well.
Although she was a girl, she was not married. In this way, there is no influence from her husband's family, and she is the best candidate from the perspective of trust and ability. ”
After speaking, Yu Ren sat down.
"Alright, now vote on it! If you are willing to support Xu Qian, please stand on the left; If you are willing to support Liu Dangjia, please stand on the right; If you are willing to support Mr. Qu, please stand in the middle. ”
There was a slight commotion below, but it soon fell silent.
There were nine people standing on the left, three on the right, and three in the middle.
Yu Ren stood up again and faced everyone. "Well, it's the result of your own choice. I hope that from now on, whether you choose to support Xu Qian or choose to support the other two, everyone will put aside their differences and work together. Strive for the prosperity and strength of our Hsu family in the future. ”
The next day, Yu Ren asked people to hold a formal investiture ceremony on a vacant lot, and officially appointed Xu Qian as the premier of the interior, and Liu Long and Qu Jing as vice premiers. However, this investiture ceremony was not presided over by Yu Ren, but by Xu Keming.
As soon as the investiture ceremony was over, Yu Ren invited several people into his study.
Although it is a study, it is actually just a cubicle in a makeshift cabin. It's only been a long time since we've been here, so everyone lives in makeshift wooden houses. Yu Ren is no exception.
As soon as she entered the door, Ying'er served tea to everyone, and Li Ying was outside to deal with some things with the locals, and she was not at home. Because when they first came, the natives who had lived here were very distrustful of them. Of course, if they use force, they can easily conquer these natives. But this is not the result that Yu Ren wants. Because he knew that conquest would inevitably lead to a counterattack, which would be detrimental to long-term development. So at the beginning, Yu Ren set a strategy for them, to use Huairou means to win over the local people.
And the focus of this matter was handed over to Li Ying. Because Li Ying often passed by this place when she was depreciating goods in Nanyang in her early years. I am still familiar with the local customs and customs. In addition, she had recruited some local people to help him take care of his business. Although almost all of these people are just doing some rough work of loading and unloading goods, Li Ying has always been good to them.
Because of this level of relationship, Li Ying's relationship with the local people here is quite harmonious.
Yu Ren walked into the study and asked everyone to sit beside him. Today, in addition to Xu Keming, Xu Qian, Liu Long, and Qu Jing, there is only Huang Ji'an.
