One thousand five hundred and seventy-nine ten days and ten nights of the Central Conference
After the opening speech, Su Yonglin announced the official start of the Central Representative Conference. The main topics are the Ming Dynasty's national construction and development plan, military strategy and revolutionary strategy for the next five years starting from now on.
The Central Representative Conference needs to discuss and plan all the things that the Ming Dynasty needs to do in the next five years in this five-day meeting to see what can be achieved in the next five years and what results can be achieved.
The representatives need to express their views on military, civil affairs, finance, justice, education, agriculture, industry and commerce, science and technology, etc., formulate plans, and persuade colleagues to reach understanding and cooperation to determine their own proposals.
Then you can wait for the vote of the People's Representative Conference. As long as it is passed, it can become a national plan and take action with national mobilization.
As initiators and organizers, they will gain merit.
This is a real and true process of governing the country, and it is also the same novelty for the central representatives. They will jump out of the identity of an executor and work with the nine-person decision-making group to make decisions on national development during the Central Representative Conference.
This feeling is very wonderful.
They were very excited, even a little excited, proposing proposals one by one, asking questions one by one, and questioning one by one.
For example, the military proposal to pacify Japan and Dali within the next five years has attracted more fierce debate.
Some representatives felt that the military's proposal was too radical, the terrain of Dali was steep, and Japan was isolated overseas. Although they were all small countries, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to defeat them, but the price to pay for this was really a bit too high.
Although the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue was considerable, internal affairs were more important. It was better to suspend the external conquests, or Japan and Dali countries chose one of them. In short, don't both.
But the military objected.
They believed that Dali had already been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the national economic lifeline was about to be penetrated by the Ming Dynasty. Even the national grain price was decided by the grain merchants of the Ming Dynasty's national team. For such an enemy, the economic offensive could cause them to be in chaos.
At that time, the economy will cut off food and materials for them to cut off essentials, so that they will be unable to support themselves. In a few days, they will kill themselves. The military offensive will be just a final decision.
The Eighth Corps in Sichuan and Shu area can do it completely. The distance is short, the number of troops mobilized is not too large, and the war will not be too long. If everything goes well, they will be sure to pacify Dali within two months.
Moreover, after the war, the power of the Ming Dynasty could be further extended to the south, controlling the South Asian trade routes of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and not needing to be used as a second-hand dealer to earn money from the middlemen. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
In the end, the Ministry of Finance and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty were the ones who made the most money, and not their army. What’s wrong with this?
Do you want the horse to run fast and don’t want to feed the horse to the feed?
Which grassland man would do this?
The representatives of finance were severely criticized by the military representatives. The representative of military representative Xu Tong stood up and pointed at the people in finance and gave the result. The scene was very lively.
Everyone argued and finally raised their hands to vote. Those who supported this opinion had the absolute advantage. The nine-person decision-making group agreed, so the matter was designated as a predetermined proposal and submitted to the People's Congress for voting.
The first issue was passed like this.
The representatives who had almost figured out the entire process were excitedly taking out the proposals they or their partners discussed together one by one, and submitted them to the Central Representative Conference for discussion and voting.
Some representatives proposed to increase education funds in the future, further develop education in remote areas, and help the next generation in remote areas develop feelings for the Ming Dynasty in the form of education, so as to facilitate the remote areas to integrate into the Ming Dynasty faster and become an undisputed land of the Ming Dynasty.
This suggestion received the greatest support and the least resistance. Su Yonglin took the lead in agreeing, so he passed the meeting with an absolute majority and became a preliminary proposal.
Another representative proposed to build 500 new workshops nationwide within five years to further expand the scale of industrial production, and then proposed his own specific plans.
This plan also received support from Su Yonglin, and the majority of supporters were supported, so it also became a preliminary proposal.
In terms of science and technology, some representatives expressed their hope that the country would increase its scientific and technological budget to help breakthroughs in science and technology, especially in steam engines.
They proposed that the breakthrough of steam engines could help the further development of the mining industry, so this request was fully supported by representatives of the industry and commerce.
Subsequently, the judicial representatives also expressed their hope to legislate and regulate behavior in terms of marriage, commercial competition, trademarks, small vendor business scope, etc.
Representatives in agriculture expressed their hope that the Ministry of Industry would further increase the production of high-quality iron agricultural tools to help farmers further liberate their productivity.
They proposed that the number of high-quality iron farm tools in the entire Ming Dynasty is still not large, and at the moment when the number of troops is no longer expanding, more high-quality iron production farm tools may be allocated.
After careful calculations, they came to a conclusion that when the number of high-quality iron farm tools is increased to an order of magnitude, agricultural output will be further increased.
So they proposed a proportion, but they were immediately opposed by military representatives.
Military representatives believed that the army also needed high-quality weapons for conquest and training, which was indispensable, while agricultural representatives believed that the military could use weapons more efficiently instead of wasting them.
Both sides argued endlessly, and in the end, the number of supporters on both sides could not reach the prescribed two-thirds majority. Seeing the proposal aborted, Su Yonglin believed that this strategy should actually be taken seriously, so he reconciled.
He suggested that the representatives of the proposed agriculture should lower the original proportion and give more resources to the army, because the brave revolutionary soldiers do need more high-quality weapons to serve the country.
In the end, both sides took a step back and barely reached a two-thirds majority, and the proposal was passed.
Then, one proposal after another was proposed, and everyone argued endlessly. After arguing about lunch together in the morning, they had lunch for a while, and started the afternoon argument again. After dinner, they had a rest and argued until night.
Many of them are very enthusiastic and seem to be in full use of energy.
Some representatives who did not pass the proposal did not rush to sleep after returning to their residence. They were full of energy to modify the proposal.
The representatives who had passed the proposal were not in a hurry to go to bed. They urgently negotiated with their colleagues whether there were any proposals that could be discussed, and continued to hold small-scale meetings until the second half of the night.
Su Yonglin didn't have these ideas. After returning, he went to bed and rested. He got up early in the morning, exercised for a while, wiped his body, brushed his teeth and washed his face, had a beautiful breakfast, and then sent Su Zeying to Zhongdu Middle School in person to have a meeting.
The meeting on the second day was as intense as the meeting on the third day and the fourth day.
Everyone put in full force and took out many proposals and discussed with unprecedented passion, vowing to argue with one right or wrong, and vowed to implement their own concept of governing the country to the end. No matter how many obstacles there are, they will not retreat unless the facts prove that they are wrong.
Or Su Yonglin said she was wrong.
Finally, because the meeting was debated too much, the discussion process was too long, and there were too many topics to discuss, Su Yonglin announced that the Central Representative Conference was postponed by one day, but it was still not possible after one day, so they could only postpone it for another one day so that they could continue to argue.
Then it still didn't work, so Su Yonglin simply announced another three days of postponement.
The meeting lasted ten days and ten nights.
