Chapter 478: The Successor
When the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was the mother of the world, personally went out of the palace and cut the ribbon at the largest textile factory in Tongzhou Prefecture.
The whole world is in a state of stagnation.
Whether it is folk or Shilin, whether it is Taoism or emerging science, everyone knows what Wang Qi wants to do, but no one can imagine that Wang Qi can invite the former empress dowager out.
Moreover, it is to show up in front of thousands of people, stand for it, and open its eyes.
"The face of the ruling lord is so big, the queen mother has to appreciate her face and show up in the palace to calm people's hearts," there are many tea shops on the street, and there are many people discussing this matter.
On that day, at the ribbon-cutting scene of Huaxia No. 1 Textile Women's Factory, when Empress Dowager Zhang appeared, tens of thousands of people at the entire scene were all boiling.
This scene is more boiling and reverie than when Wang Qi overthrew the imperial system.
After all, Empress Dowager Zhang is different from Wang Qi.
Since his rise, Wang Qi has been the face of a decisive and ruthless political machine.
To the Empress Dowager Zhang, people represent the mother of the world, worried about the country, the eternal beauty, the last decency of the Ming Dynasty.
People have different expectations, and so do their reactions.
The tea guests sitting in the tea shop are still thinking about the scene when the Empress Dowager Zhang in gorgeous clothes appeared at the scene that day - such a gorgeous and moving Empress Dowager stood on the platform for Wang Qi, which is not enough for outsiders!
"You say, is there a leg between the consul and the Empress Dowager Zhang?" Pedestrians come and go, and the tea shop is full of all kinds of gossip and horrific rumors, and everyone is not surprised.
"I don't know if there is a leg, but Empress Dowager Zhang stands for the archon, what does this matter represent, do you know?" The short and fat man held a folding fan and glanced at everyone in a serious manner.
"What does it represent, doesn't it represent Wang Qi's majesty? I can't let the Queen Mother show up for her in front of people, what do you dare to do in the future, I don't dare to think about it! The tall and thin companion reached out and pulled it out of his crotch, and then laughed evilly, and the lewd expression on his face could not be suppressed.
"Idiots with sperm brains!" The short and fat man glanced at the man with disdain, and then said to the rest of the people: "This means that whether it is the forces of the previous dynasty or the current parties, they are already in front of the consuls, and no one dares to jump out and say no, not even those who secretly make stumbling blocks."
"Isn't there still opposition to that?" The tall and thin man was visibly resentful.
"Is there still any? Since the Queen Mother came forward, who dares to jump out and speak again after those old people of the former dynasty or the rising stars of the new dynasty? The short and fat man smiled: "Look, it's the fourth year of parliament, and when we wait for next year, the second parliamentary election, see how many people are crying and shouting for the consul to be re-elected."
While a few people were talking, there was a sudden commotion on the street.
Then there was a two-horse carriage coming from a distance.
Everyone stood up and gave way.
"Who's coming?"
"It seems that which big man has entered Beijing?"
In the eyes of everyone, the wooden plate hanging on the frame shook slightly, which was particularly eye-catching.
Grandchild!
————
Donghua Gate, House of Representatives.
Wang Qi sat on the top seat, and the rest of Wang Huazhen, Lu Yu, Xu Guangqi, and Ye Xianggao sat on both sides.
"Today, it is an internal meeting of the big councillors specially held for the election in four months, and I invite you to come over, because I want to unify my thinking and prepare for the next stage of work," Wang Qi took the lead in speaking, and then looked at Ye Xianggao: "Ye Lao, you are the presiding officer of this meeting, let you talk about it." ”
Ye Xianggao, who was sitting on the side, nodded slightly, and then spoke: "The second parliamentary election in four months is also the key opening stage of the second reform plan under the parliament. ”
Between the words, Ye Xianggao slapped Wang Qi without a trace.
"As for the election of the second parliament, since there will be two new colleagues from the local level, this meeting, as the ruling lord said, will unify thinking and make progress together, and at the same time approve the goals of the second parliamentary team."
Just as Ye Xianggao was speaking, the figure of the attendant outside the door appeared.
"Several adults, Sun Chuanting and Wang Shou have arrived."
Everyone's eyes were on Wang Qi.
"Let them in." Wang Qi still sat upright and nodded.
Not long after, Sun Chuanting and Wang Shou, who had not seen each other for a long time, came together.
"Sun Chuanting (Wang Shou) greets all of you!"
"Sit down," Wang Qi gestured with his hand, and said with a smile: "It's hard to let the two of you come here all the way, and you have not eaten a mouthful of hot food." ”
"Where are the adults, it's nothing more than a rest all the way to the scenery, not to mention hard work," Sun Chuanting arched his hand.
"After entering Gyeonggi, I have seen a lot along the way," Wang Shou also nodded.
"The land of Gyeonggi is a test field for China's new policy, and many policies and technology promotion started in the Gyeonggi area, and if you can feel and understand it along the way, of course it is good," Wang Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued: "Have you felt the railroad track from Tongzhou Mansion to Beijing City?" ”
"If the railroad track can be popularized and form a connecting track between Nanjing City and Beijing City, between heaven and earth, it will come in an instant, and the whole of China, the government decree will be accessible, and it will no longer be the harm of yesterday!" Wang Shou has a great interest in the promotion of railways, as the chairman of the Nanjing City Council, he has repeatedly wanted to lay railways in Nanjing City, but because of technical and power reasons, it has not been possible.
"Coal mining in Datong and Yulin, Shaanxi Province, has already started before Xiaguan departs, and according to the previous plan, 20,000 kilograms of coal can be mined a month." Following Wang Shou's words, Sun Chuanting spoke: "If it goes well, in May next year, we can support the construction of Nanjing's track!" ”
"Nanjing and Shanxi can be used as pilot places for the second batch of railway track laying," Wang Qi looked at the two of them: "You happen to be in charge of the government, you are familiar with the local situation, and you can also actively contact them when the time comes." ”
After more than half an hour of foreshadowing, Wang Qi finally opened his mouth to lead to the key point.
"In the second parliamentary election in March next year, I will propose to elect the two of you to fill the vacant two seats of the two senior councillors." Wang Qi's expression was solemn: "You two can give you your work plan in terms of political reform and sustained stability, and submit it to the General Assembly for review." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Wang Qi was preparing to let Sun Chuanting and Wang Shou succeed him in the third session. (End of chapter)
