One thousand four hundred and ninety-nine Daming does not need the royal family, nor the nobles
This is a very terrible thinking, a kind of thinking that makes Su Yonglin feel very angry, and a kind of thinking that completely ignores the facts.
Is it the emperor who brought them all the rights and interests that the Ming people can get and enjoy today?
So Su Yonglin's answer to him was also very clear.
"What the people today have obtained and everything we have obtained is given by the emperor? It is given by the emperor's great mercy? Wrong! It is obtained by our bloody sacrifice and struggle! It is exchanged for countless warriors' sacrifices! It is exchanged for the revolution!
This is also the reason why I want to establish the mass representation system and the central meeting system. These two systems are systems that safeguard the current revolutionary achievements and safeguard the fundamental interests of the people. They are the first step in the political reform of the Ming Dynasty and the crucial step to get rid of feudal imperial power.
The central meeting system is a decision-making body that concentrates all powers of the Revival Association, and the birth of this institution does not come from appointments, but from selection. The decisions made by the central meeting need to be responsible to the masses representatives who represent the interests of the masses.
The representatives of the masses will review the decisions made by the Central Conference, either pass or reject them, and supervise the actions of the Revival Association on behalf of the entire people. The future Ming Dynasty does not need to concentrate all its power on one person, nor does it need to place everything on one person."
Members felt it was difficult to adapt to Su Yonglin's sudden "attack", but they had known that Su Yonglin would hold a central meeting and representatives of the masses, so this was not a whim, but a decision that Su Yonglin had been thinking for a long time.
But he didn't say that the real core of these two policies is so earth-shaking!
What kind of country is a country without emperors or kings?
In this era, there was no country without emperors or kings, so when Su Yonglin overthrew the Jin Kingdom, so many people were looking forward to Su Yonglin becoming the emperor.
Huge inertia drives people to walk towards the familiar paths they are familiar with. When someone wants to launch a change, everyone's first reaction is fear. Only after fear will they consider whether this matter can be in their own interests.
If it is in your own interests, then support it; if it is not in your own interests, then object.
Although Su Yonglin always talks about the people, no one can guess that he is not only talking, but also doing it.
After the initial fear ended, the Revival members who attended the meeting began to think and then came to many preliminary conclusions.
From this perspective, many people initially believe that this situation is not in their interest.
Some people have suggested that most of the people cannot recognize their silence and do not have the basic ability to participate in politics and make decisions. Can such a mass representative be responsible for the long-term development of the country?
Some people suggested that Su Yonglin and his descendants were the most qualified to rule the Ming Dynasty. If he gave up this qualification, then what terrible unrest would happen in the Ming Dynasty?
Did Su Yonglin consider these issues?
Su Yonglin doesn't think so.
"It is them who produce the country, who create wealth, they pay taxes, they who join the army to conquer the war, and they who respond to the government's call to work and build. They are doing everything related to the production of wealth. So, why can't they be responsible for the long-term development of the country?"
Su Yonglin called the member who had just questioned the mass representation system and asked him alone.
"Are people born to be able to read and understand the great truth? Are people born to be able to decide what they should do and what they should not do? This was the case in the past, but isn't what I led you to do to destroy this cage? Why, now we are going to reshape this cage in turn?"
The member endured the gaze of everyone and blushed.
"No...I..."
"I'll ask you, how can you learn to read and understand the great principles?"
“Educate.”
"The answer has come."
Su Yonglin spread his hands: "If they can't read, they will teach them to read. If they don't understand the great principles, they will teach them to understand the great principles. Which of our food, clothing and expenses does not come from the production of the people? If the people support us through production, we must use the mass representation system to repay the people."
Some members agreed after thinking and nodded.
Some members also have doubts about this and question the practical feasibility of this decision.
Su Yonglin said that the future is long, and he would not abdicate immediately without becoming an emperor. He still had time and could take his time.
Let the mass representation system and the central meeting system become operational and mature, and when these systems are practically operated, it is time for the emperor's profession to die.
"I still say the same thing, there is no one who is born to suffer, nor is there a person who is born to rule others with luxury and wealth. My current status is because of struggle, because my comrades believe in me, and I have made the right decision, so I became the leader of the Ming Dynasty.
But my son has no credit, no experience, nor the trust of his comrades. He does not have the qualifications to become a leader. Only those who are recognized by everyone can become leaders of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot become a leader by his bloodline.
We revolutionaries fought all the way to completely disappear this blood-tradition hereditary system, completely eliminate this ugly idea, completely open up the upward channels of society, and allow everyone to have the opportunity to do what they want to do! This is the true meaning of revolution!”
Su Yonglin simply and completely spoke overturned the leader's bloodline. Not only that, he also made a further declaration.
"During the previous rectification movement, I heard that many people were questioning my motives. I heard that some people thought that I was attacking the elders because I felt that too many elders would affect my power and my dominance.
Some people also say that it was because I began to want to establish a prince and pass on the throne to my son. There were too many elders and they occupied a high position, which was a great threat to my heirs. Therefore, it was because of the emperor's thoughts that I chose to attack them.
They said that countless emperors have done this throughout the ages, and I will be no exception. I am just repeating what happened, that's all. Then, I will respond now, and I punish them with public heart and no selfishness.
Su Yonglin will not be the emperor forever, and will abdicate when the time comes. The Su family cannot be the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty does not need royal family or nobles. I do not need my descendants to inherit the BenQ foundation, and I cannot allow them to do so.
BenQ does not belong to me or my family. BenQ belongs to all citizens. Some people are dirty in their own minds, so they use the same dirty mind to speculate on others. I want to tell them about such people."
Su Yonglin looked around everyone in the venue.
"I will defend the revolutionary achievements of the Ming Dynasty to the death. Anyone who dares to destroy the revolutionary achievements of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who it is, is my life and death enemy! I will do everything possible and use all means to kill them!"
