Chapter 235: Democracy
In the following two days, Chen Ao wholeheartedly followed Su Zhuo to learn kung fu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Su Zhuo still overestimated Chen Ao's understanding of martial arts. Although it was only a short mantra, Chen Ao was stunned to study it all day before he fully understood it.
Su Zhuo sighed, feeling a deep headache. Fortunately, after understanding the inner strength and mental method, I relied on the accumulation of time and practiced it persistently. This first hurdle is over.
The next day, Su Zhuo began to teach how to harness internal force. Chen Ao had a headache even more, and Su Zhuo said how, he could feel the true qi rising from the dantian surging towards his arm. However, no matter how he felt, he never felt the so-called true power.
Such a simple action was taught for two days, and there was still no progress. Su Zhuo finally gave up, shook his head, and said, "Chen Ao, you are indeed not the material for learning martial arts!"
In fact, he has already seen that although Chen Ao has studied hard in the past few days, he is not very concerned about learning martial arts. Chen Ao is easy-going, and he was a little enthusiastic at first. But after hitting the wall a few times, I started to retreat. Su Zhuo also knew that people have their own ambitions, and it is difficult to force them, so they are no longer reluctant.
Sometimes, people who don't know martial arts understand things better and can benefit the people better than those who know martial arts. After this incident, Su Zhuo also had such an understanding.
It's just ridiculous that he thinks that his martial arts have been perfected, and there are few opponents in the world. Who expected to bring out the two apprentices, but they only have the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and they can't even get on the table. The world is unpredictable and unpredictable.
In the past few days, in addition to practicing, Chen Ao has spent the rest of his time going to various salt farms to stabilize people's hearts. Soon, all the saltworks laborers were united. Chen Ao took advantage of the situation to fulfill his promise and began to transform such a proletarian contingent in accordance with the modern organizational system.
According to the modern electoral system, he had the laborers of each salt mill elect their own representatives. Unsurprisingly, each salt mill elected the most respected and authoritative of them all. These people then formed the so-called "parliament".
Of course, Chen Ao needed to guide the operation of this organization, so he took on the role of "supreme leader". At first, everyone was uncomfortable. These laborers are accustomed to obeying orders, and they don't know how to decide major matters by themselves, or they are used to obeying Chen Ao's orders.
After repeated ideological indoctrination, these people finally realized that they were elected by everyone to represent the interests of everyone, and that every decision they made was not only as powerful as a holy decree, but also related to everyone's interests. Since then, the "parliament" has become more efficient. In the end, Chen Ao could already give up the status of "chief" to Peng Shugen.
This old man who is over half a hundred years old has been driven by others all his life, and he never imagined that he would become a decision-maker near his old age, which made him energetic and very serious.
Seeing that everything was gradually on the right track, Chen Ao was very satisfied. In particular, he has achieved democracy in all areas of his power so that everyone can have a channel to put forward their ideas. This initiative has won the support of everyone. Some people even felt that Chen Ao was the messenger sent by the gods to save them and lead them to the Western Heavenly Elysium.
For these superstitious thinking, Chen Ao is also powerless. These days, Su Zhuo was with Chen Ao every day, unlike the master, but became an apprentice. At first, he was skeptical of the series of measures proposed by Chen Ao. In the end, seeing that everything was in order, it didn't turn into chaos, and everyone was enthusiastic, and to a certain extent, they really became their own masters. This is truly an unprecedented feat.
Su Zhuo sighed while learning. After all, he is well-informed and more mature in his thinking. After only two days of observation, I understood the core of the whole system. In the end, Su Zhuo also gave Chen Ao one of the most important pieces of advice.
He said, "Chen Ao, you have done all this very well. However, such a system is so shocking that it can only be implemented within the confines of these salt works. If you want to promote it, you will inevitably get into trouble!"
Chen Ao was silent for a moment, and then understood the reason why Su Zhuo said this. Su Zhuo told him more than once that since the laborers of the salt works had been so repressed in the past, they would be very supportive of giving them such rights.
At the same time, as coolies, they have equal social status and are naturally able to accept the idea that everyone is equal. This has allowed the implementation of a series of measures to be carried out without being hindered.
However, if you want to spread such a system to other places, you have to meet with great resistance. Naturally, the upper classes could not be willing to be equal to the lowly, nor could they tolerate their decision-making. And the originally oppressed, once they taste the sweetness, they will have the illusion that once they are in power, they will give the illusion of doing what they want, and they will have all kinds of selfish thoughts.
Therefore, the reason why this democracy can be implemented in this era is only because of the special environment of the salt works. If it is forcibly promoted, it will only provoke resistance from all sides. It can even arouse the vigilance of those in power and cause death.
Chen Ao got Su Zhuo's guidance and finally understood the stakes of all this. He bowed deeply and thanked, "Thank you Master for your guidance, the apprentice is taught!"
Su Zhuo took Chen Ao's arm and said with a smile: "Actually, you and I are called master and apprentice, but in fact, we can be regarded as good friends. I didn't teach you much, but you taught me a lot. If I have the chance, I would like to see your world......"
During these days, the salt works are operating normally and production has resumed. Several major gangs also had people who carried salt, but all of them were taken down by Kuang Bing and others. There were more and more captives, and Chen Ao simply locked them all together, which was also lively.
Although so many people were arrested, it did not arouse the suspicion of several major sects. It's just that the Salt Gang Conference is approaching, and everyone is in full swing to prepare for the conference, and they are full of energy to compete for the position of the chief helmsman. Instead, the original business of the salt gang was aside, and no one bothered to inquire about the production and sale of illicit salt, so naturally no one noticed the abnormality of the salt farm.
Chen Ao received the news from the spies of Mochizuki Tower, and secretly rejoiced. Until now, he finally has full confidence to compete for the position of helmsman of the Salt Gang.
After another two days, I finally waited for the Salt Gang Conference to be held. It was a sunny day and the sun was shining. It is rare to have a trace of warmth in the cold winter, which makes people feel a lot better.
According to the plan made in advance, Chen Ao settled everything, and Kuang Bing rushed to the conference site with thousands of coolies from the salt field in batches and directions.
He himself and Su Zhuo went on the road alone, rode two donkeys, and went to the east of Haixian County, the Salt Gang Conference......
