One thousand five hundred and eighty

Despite the ten days and ten nights of verbal disputes, the representatives are still full of energy and full of energy.

Some representatives spoke loudly in order to maintain their shock, and in the end they even made their throats hoarse and lost their voices, and could not continue to speak.

Further backwards, Su Yonglin felt that if they continued, they could continue to argue for at least five days and five nights. This would not work, so they could only force the end of the meeting.

"Even if only 70% of the preliminary proposals reached have been passed, all the things are enough for Daming to do for five years. I know you are very concerned about national affairs, but the things you can do in five years are limited, and we can't say what will happen in five years."

Su Yonglin stood up and shouted: "The most suitable plan we have made is a five-year plan. After more than five years, I feel that it will be uncontrollable. It is too fake space and has no meaning. So you should understand the fundamental significance of this meeting more and don't waste everyone's time for a temporary battle of will! "

Su Yonglin then seriously criticized several representatives with very loud voices and fierce momentum, allowing them to restrain their tempers at the meeting.

Although the process was a little tortuous and the overall atmosphere was definitely not harmonious. Some people just rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight in front of Su Yonglin, but the meeting ended successfully.

Originally, the five-day meeting was often directly postponed to ten days, and more than 150 bills were discussed, and the number of bills was finally reached was 68.

Because it was already the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 13th year of Hongwu, the meeting of people's representatives, which was originally scheduled to be held on the 15th, had to be postponed to 20 days.

Some issues of the Central Representative Conference still need time to sort out, and the approved preliminary proposals still need time to print and communicate to every representative of the public.

In addition, in response to the content of some issues that are difficult for the public to understand, Su Yonglin also decided to hold several meetings to take everyone to study together and improve the necessary knowledge so that they can make the right choices at the formal meeting.

Although in the past two months, Su Yonglin had sent some Revival members to form a study guidance group to organize representatives of the public to conduct concentrated surprise learning and impart knowledge on the operation of some countries, Su Yonglin still felt that it was not enough.

So in the next four days, everyone began to prepare for the meeting in full swing. Su Yonglin personally attended the study meeting to teach the people who lacked the necessary knowledge.

During this process, Su Yonglin felt that governing the country really couldn’t rely entirely on ideals, and the necessary knowledge was really indispensable.

These things that concern the operation of the country and the livelihood of 180 million people cannot be allowed to make decisions by an ordinary person.

He felt that it was necessary to hold a central representative meeting before the meeting of the People's Representatives, which at least would control the agenda of the People's Representatives within a reasonable range without letting the agenda float to a strange corner that was completely unimaginable.

At the same time, he also felt that the road to educate the people and open up people's wisdom was still a long way to go. If this meeting had not led a group of national elites to control the direction, he would not have dared to think about where the situation would go.

He really wanted to hand over power to the people and to truly realize democracy, but the general public obviously did not have this quality to bear the future of 180 million people.

This responsibility is too heavy and this power is too huge, and most people cannot grasp it at all.

Although these representatives of the people are already the best among the grassroots labor groups such as industrial workers, farmers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they are also the elite among the civilians.

They either work hard, work hard, or think of special methods to help everyone increase production and reduce energy consumption. They are very smart. They have the ability and reputation to convince the masses, which is different from the general public.

Despite this, their current qualities cannot assume the heavy responsibility of the decision-making body of the country's highest power, so it takes about two months of sudden learning to barely keep up with the progress of the conference and be able to initially understand the significance and content of the conference.

And this is indispensable to Su Yonglin's leadership and dominance.

So essentially, this people's congress did not really transcend the times, and it was still a special situation where Su Yonglin promoted the supreme power by relying on his prestige.

If you have to say anything, this time the People's Congress can only be regarded as a special [training] driven by Su Yonglin with his prestige, rather than a constitutional or democracy.

Without Su Yonglin leading the nine-member decision-making group and some experienced Revival members, Shu Xingyemei, these representatives of the public did not know how to use the tickets they had.

The representatives of the people in this state cannot decide on national affairs at all.

Therefore, Su Yonglin planned to leave a stage of "training" for the country in the early stages of the establishment of the Democratic Republic, leaving a buffer period for the Ming Dynasty to transform from the empire to the Democratic Republic.

During this stage, he and the nine-person decision-making group held all the power and led a large number of Revival members with rich political experience to various places to guide the people led by the public representatives to understand the national politics.

Because under the long-term feudal agricultural production model, the people were not unwilling to care about politics, but did not have the qualities and conditions to care about politics.

The feudal dynasty would not take the initiative to popularize education, nor would it allow the people to eat and wear well and be mindful of politics.

They are very taboo to the public for concern for politics. They only need the public as tools for paying taxes and working hard. It is best not to have any ideas, so that's the best.

A few people with quality and conditions want to care about politics, but in the end there is no channel to care about politics. In the end, the people's concern for politics can only be manifested as unofficial history and gossip, and they have no political literacy at all.

So at this stage, except for the Ming soldiers who received enough education, the people of the Ming Dynasty basically do not have the qualities and abilities of citizens of constitutional democratic countries. This is a fact.

To establish a democratic republic, the people need to have political literacy, even a little less political literacy.

Therefore, Su Yonglin hopes to help the people gradually understand the content of national politics through a period of training, and then start from the grassroots level, and gradually establish local people's representative meetings in every province, prefecture, and county to grasp local decision-making power.

When this system is completed, it is when the Ming Dynasty's training ends.

By then, under a relatively ideal state, the Ming Dynasty could smoothly transition to a constitutional state and become a relatively mature, experienced democratic constitutional country with orderly political order.

That is the complete Democratic Republic of the Ming Dynasty.

But as of now, the Ming Dynasty still has a long way to go to achieve this ideal state.

The state of tutoring may be maintained for a long time, and there will inevitably be many political struggles during the tutoring period. Su Yonglin himself does not know whether he can live to see the coming of the constitutional era.

So during dinner in the evening, Su Yonglin expressed her entanglement and worries to Zhao Xirui at the dinner table.

"I really want to hand over power to the people, at least the power of supervision. I believe that this power must be handed over to the people to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not take detours in the future. However, through my observations during this period, I found that the people simply do not have the ability to use these powers reasonably.

You just say that the representatives of the people we elected this time were thousands of people, and they were ordinary people, but in fact they were also elites among the people. They were either respected or had excellent work achievements and received unanimous praise. Only in this way can they be elected as representatives of the people.

Such a group of representatives who represent the highest quality of the people still seem ignorant in the face of national affairs and cannot grasp and understand many things well. In the past two months, after the surprise education, the situation has improved to a certain extent, but it has not been so good.

This is true for the elites among the people, let alone the general public? I don’t want them to suffer before rebelling. Now that a new country has been established, I am not sure that I can maintain the current situation. I am very worried that until I die, the people will not be able to have the qualities of regulating the power of supervision.”
