The next day, with everyone wearing a pair of dark bags under their eyes, the Southeast Political Conference officially began.
There are also some good people who imitated the writing style of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons, and gave this Southeast Political Conference an alias, calling it the 'Meeting of All People', 'Hearing of the Prince of the Supervisory Country', etc.
But no matter what the name is, it will not delay the crowds of people in Jinling City for a while, and the scholars and the people are extremely enthusiastic.
In just a few days, millions of people were crowded.
Many people can just find a dilapidated temple outside the city to live in. If they don't have money, they just go begging, or they can make some money with their crafts.
There are also people who are just watching the fun, and without money, they directly compete with the dogs in the city for food.
no way.
That morning, after receiving the news from Fang Xuan, Xiao Yi immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse and set up a porridge shed first, so that those who were about to starve to death from watching the excitement would have something to eat.
Otherwise, his Southeast Political Consultation Conference would be a huge joke.
The prince was touring the south to inquire about the administration of Jinling, but there were reports of people freezing to death on the road.
Then this political inquiry must be a failure.
Of course, there are also some people with ulterior motives who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, so death is inevitable.
Fortunately, the government responded in a timely manner and never kept secrets. What should be done, how to investigate, and how to pursue the case were all reported in a timely manner.
Naturally, the people saw it.
to be honest.
Even if there are people who really starve to death.
That's what they deserve. If they don't work hard at home to support themselves, they insist on joining in the fun.
The prince of the prison country is so wise and powerful, and now he is so close to the people. Who doesn't praise him and who doesn't support him?
As long as the Southeast Political Conference comes up with a policy that benefits the country and the people, even if a hundred people starve to death, it is worthy of their praise, and the people are very realistic.
It has to be said that under Xiao Yi's vigorous and resolute actions, the efficiency of officials has become much higher.
After giving the order, the porridge shed was quickly set up.
Just a moment.
The steaming thick porridge is ready.
Take a sip.
Ba is very comfortable.
Many people are naturally grateful.
Scholars also quickly praised His Highness the Prince for his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, caring for all people, and being a benevolent king rarely seen throughout the ages.
of course.
There were so many people coming.
The palace in Jinling City cannot accommodate so many people.
For a symposium, the venue arranged can only hold about a thousand people at most.
too much.
It's just too crowded.
How to do it?
Xiao Yi already had a countermeasure.
Instead, let the students of Jinling City stand up, set up a table, and then start collecting the words of the people.
In other words, let these people collect the demands and suggestions of ordinary people.
There is a royal guard or supervisory censor sitting next to a student for supervision to prevent students from bending the law for personal gain.
In addition, the three thousand cavalry led by the East Palace Guards, plus the soldiers of Yanyun's sixteen cavalry brought by Xiao Zheng, were patrolling the city to protect safety and maintain order.
Soon, another famous scene occurred in Jinling City.
The common people lined up in long lines.
They walked up to the scholars one by one. At first, they were very nervous. It was the first time they participated in such a thing, and they didn’t know what to say at all.
Most of them asked His Highness to be friends with virtuous ministers and wealthy people, but some old gentlemen and scholars who had read a lot of books talked more about the need to be virtuous and to uphold frugality and avoid extravagance. We must open up our voices, we must treat the people well, we must be respectful to each other...
The contents recorded by more than 300 teams are actually those who have read the book, and the words spoken can be regarded as advice.
But no matter what.
Xiao Yi's move really set a precedent in history.
The Prince of the Supervisory State visited Jinling in the south. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the festival feast. Therefore, he issued an order to open the way for speech. In the city of Jinling, he ordered the scholars to set up a table to record the words of all people. His heart of benevolence and righteousness has never been seen in the past, and his act of accepting words will last forever. Liufang….
Let me ask, if such a prince who oversees the country is not a wise king, who can be a wise king?
Of course, the words of many common people are very correct suggestions. Later, after getting used to it, they are also words from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, with their thinking at this level, what kind of truth can they tell?
What good suggestions can you make for governing the country?
However, Xiao Yi still wanted to do this, not only to enlighten the people, but also to let the people have a sense of participation in state affairs, a sense of belonging to Daqian, and a sense of identity with him, the prince who oversees the country. There is a sense of intimacy with the emperor.
Although there are many things to say, in the end, it is actually to enlighten the people's wisdom.
Let something in their hearts awaken.
Let's talk about the symposium in the palace of Jinling City. The people who were selected to enter the venue started to make suggestions directly in front of the Crown Prince Xiao Yi, but they were no different from the words raised outside. They were dear ministers and distant people.
But whenever Prince Xiao Yi seriously asked them who was the wise minister and who was the villain, they often behaved in a complete mess.
At least half of the people had stage fright. After handing in the documents, they trembled in front of Prince Xiao Yi and stuttered as soon as they opened their mouths.
And even the decent people whose spouses can maintain their posture and answer questions often become arrogant after talking to a few ministers with relatively good reputations.
Are you kidding me?
The six ministers were sitting there, and the ministers of the nine temples were also present.
Who is the villain?
Do they dare to name one?
There is no real evidence. After saying it, you have to take responsibility.
Therefore, this Southeast Political Conference seems to have no meaning at all until now.
Not only was it meaningless, but it also only increased panic and caused some casualties.
Not only that, it also made some people from hundreds of miles away put down their work, and when the autumn harvest was about to come, they even ran to Jinling City to watch the excitement.
After a good tour of the south, the harvest was actually quite good.
Now that the Southeast Political Conference was held, the six ministers and the ministers of the nine temples also rushed over from Chang'an, the capital.
Just asked to see this?
There are also a few ministers who are very dissatisfied with this kind of thing, and they feel that this kind of link is meaningless.
Xiao Zheng and Yue Hongling didn't see the significance of Xiao Yi's move for a while.
The people discuss government.
At first, it certainly seemed like it had never happened before.
Very novel.
But after the novelty wore off, I waited until I saw the reactions of these local people and watched their performance.
So disappointed.
In fact, some people expected it from the beginning.
These common people cannot read a single Chinese character.
What good advice can they give on governing the country?
If they could really tell it, why would they still be studying?
