Su Yonglin turned his head and looked at the dark-faced worker who was being watched by everyone.
He looks about thirty or forty years old, and his body looks strong and strong, which shows that he is a good player.
When the worker saw Su Yonglin looking at him, he smiled sheepishly, looking honest.
"May I have your name?"
Su Yonglin looked at the elected worker representative.
"In reply to the chairman, my surname is Niu, and my given name is fierce. Everyone in the factory calls me Lao Niu."
"Niu Meng... Well, this name is worthy of your body. It's very suitable, very suitable."
Su Yonglin patted his shoulder, felt his strong muscles, and asked curiously: "You have a very strong body and bones. There are not many people with your body and bones. What did you do before?"
"I used to mine here. My parents worked in the gold thieves' mines. I was born and raised in the mines. My parents worked as slaves for the gold thieves. I have been a little slave since I was a child. I also received a lot of beatings from the gold thieves.”
Niu Meng chuckled and touched his head: "Then the Liberation Army came and drove away the gold thieves. No one beat me anymore, and I could eat enough. I continued working in the mine. "
Su Yonglin smiled.
"With such a strong body, why didn't you think of joining the army at that time? With your body and bones, I feel that if you joined the army to kill the enemy, you would be more or less a brigade commander now."
"The main thing...my parents were still there at the time."
Niu Meng sighed: "I was naughty when I was a child, and I often got into trouble with gold thieves. My parents were beaten a lot to protect me earlier, and my body was damaged. I finally waited for a good life, and I also thought about it. I joined the army, but my parents were in bad health and there was no one to take care of me. I really couldn't worry about it.
My father passed away five years ago, and my mother passed away three years ago. I am now older and have a wife and a baby, so I can’t worry about them anymore, so I have no other thoughts and just think about being honest and honest. If you work in the field for a lifetime, you will have enough food, clothing, and money to spend. You don't have to worry about anything. Your children can still study in your children's primary school. How nice it is. "
Saying this, Niu Meng looked at Su Yonglin with some concern.
"Chairman, do you think I am worthless?"
Elderly people?
I'm only thirty-three, so we're not necessarily older than the other!
Su Yonglin was dumbfounded, then shook his head.
"Protecting the family and defending the country are the two most important things a man should do in his life. But as the old saying goes, there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety, so no matter whether you choose to protect the family or defend the country, you are a good man. No one can say whether you have any future or not. , after all, you haven’t eaten their food, right?”
Niu Meng became happy and grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.
But since he was a worker representative, Su Yonglin wanted to see if he had the qualities to be a good representative.
"Niu Meng, since you are the representative elected by everyone, how many words do you know?"
Niu Meng chuckled.
"It's not too much, two thousand two hundred and thirty-six."
Oh, people should not be judged by their appearance.
Unexpectedly, this guy looks like a stupid guy, but with all his strength, he turns out to be a smart guy?
Su Yonglin smiled and said: "With so many words, he can be considered a cultural person. Have you read any books?"
"I have read that after the mines had factories, teachers taught us how to read and read."
Niu Meng chuckled and said: "I have read all your articles, and I have also read some other books. Of course, what I am best at is the mine. I grew up here, so there is nothing I don't know. So everyone knows me."
Well, it seems that this guy was elected as a worker representative for a reason. Such a talented person can shine no matter what position he is in.
So Su Yonglin got down to business.
"In that case, so awesome, let me ask you, what do you think of the previous rumors and my decision to depose the emperor?"
The smile on Niu Meng's face suddenly froze and he became a little embarrassed.
"I...I'm just a rough guy, I don't understand such things..."
"You can recognize more than 2,000 words, but you are still a rough person? You have no problem reading and writing, and you have read my articles. Are you called a rough person?"
Su Yonglin looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "Tell me about it. If you say you haven't thought about anything, I really don't believe it. Besides, you are a worker representative, so you have to say it."
Niu Meng looked at him and couldn't hide, so he could only sigh.
"I don't believe the rumors. You are such a powerful person. I don't believe anything will happen to you. I am more or less worried about this emperor's matter. I don't know what will happen to us after you stop being emperor. Will these people live the same miserable life again?
We all know in our hearts that there are thousands of heroes in this world, but you are the only one who can really be kind to us roughnecks. You are the only one who keeps your word and gives us food, clothing and warm clothes. You also give us money and teach us how to read. If you don't become emperor anymore, will those people in Zhongdu...will bully us in the future? "
This simple and somewhat excessive question pierced Su Yonglin's heart.
Niu Meng's words made Su Yonglin realize that the reason for the restlessness of the people was not only the terrifying atmosphere exaggerated by the rumors, but also the creation of an atmosphere of anxiety.
The rumor makers are creating anxiety and then selling it, stirring up the sensitive nerves of the people and making them collectively anxious.
The anxiety was amplified and quickly infected many people, out of control.
Fundamentally, the common people cherish the good days they have now and treat them as treasures. Naturally, they also cherish the people who bring them good lives.
Or even just cherishing Su Yonglin as a person.
This is not only because Su Yonglin really has great achievements and prestige that they should cherish, but also because the propaganda strategy of the Renaissance Propaganda Department over the years has been problematic.
In the past, the propaganda of the revival meetings was directed at Su Yonglin. This was necessary in the complex struggle environment at that time.
During the complex struggle period, the revolutionary forces need a person with strong prestige and ability to be their vanguard. He can serve as a communication bridge between the people and the vanguard, lead the people, let the people trust the Renaissance, and follow the footsteps of the Renaissance. Fight against reactionary forces.
Years of targeted propaganda have boosted Su Yonglin's huge personal prestige, allowing Su Yonglin to turn his hands into clouds and rain, and finally collapsed the resistance of the traditional old forces.
But this also brought some negative effects - the common people only recognized Su Yonglin, but others did not.
It is true that Su Yonglin is very important personally. He is an extremely important leader and guide. He created the current prosperous situation of the Ming Dynasty and is the number one contributor. There is no doubt about it.
But the problem is that Su Yonglin can't do so many things by himself.
