Since the first year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin has continuously promulgated reform policies.
The specific implementation of so many policies still depends on the officials and Renaissance cadres. It is they who work tirelessly everywhere to finally get these things implemented.
Without their full cooperation and final implementation at each level, no matter how good the policy is, it will be useless. Their hard work and dedication are also an indispensable part of the development of Ming Dynasty to this day.
However, the publicity through propaganda channels made the people subtly attribute all these achievements to Su Yonglin.
In the simple concept of ordinary people, all good things are done by Su Yonglin, and all credit must be attributed to Su Yonglin. Only Su Yonglin sincerely does it for them.
If for the purpose of struggle in the past, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, then in the period of peace-building, the disadvantages definitely outweigh the advantages.
Su Yonglin felt that he could not accept this situation continuing to develop.
"I am aware of your concerns, but I cannot agree with this statement, because you think, can it be said that all our reform work is completed by me alone?"
Niu Meng didn't know how to answer.
The people listening around didn't know how to answer.
Su Yonglin thought for a while and then asked: "Can it be said that you alone can complete the work from iron ore mining to finished steel?"
Niu Meng immediately shook his head.
The people around him immediately shook their heads.
They understand this, they are professionals.
"That's impossible. Mining requires professional people, and ironmaking also requires professional people. Even the coke used in ironmaking is refined and sent from the coke yard. If one person can do it, even three jobs can be done. , how long will it take? I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it.”
Su Yonglin nodded.
"So, do you think that from identifying problems to designing and improving policies, and then to implementing policies into local areas, you all feel that all the things in this series of links can be done by me alone?"
Niu Meng and the people around him looked at each other and felt that they understood what Su Yonglin said.
"So, what you are saying is that there is also a group of people like you in Zhongdu, helping you with things?"
Niu Meng looked at Su Yonglin and asked: "Those people in Zhongdu are not bad people, they are all good people. They will take care of us people. Even if you don't become the emperor anymore?"
Su Yonglin was noncommittal about this.
"There must be bad people in Zhongdu, otherwise I wouldn't have to clean them up three times in a row, but there must be good people in Zhongdu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do so many things by myself. I can't build this place alone, right?"
People nodded one after another, thinking that what Su Yonglin said made sense.
"In Zhongdu, are there more good people or more bad people?"
A worker raised his hand and asked Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin pondered for a moment.
"Currently, there are a lot of good people. Even if there are bad people, they don't dare to show their faces because they are afraid of me and don't dare to go against me. If I want to do good things, they must do good things with me."
"Then it would be best for you to be the emperor."
The worker spread his hands and said: "You are no longer the emperor, and those bad guys are no longer afraid of you. What should we do if they bully us? We can't fight those high officials in Zhongdu, how cruel they are."
The workers nodded again, hoping that Su Yonglin would continue to be the emperor and protect them.
"But I'm going to die anyway."
Su Yonglin smiled helplessly: "I'm not a god, I'm a human being, and I will die. I can be the emperor while I'm alive. They are all afraid of me and will do good things. Then if I die and a bad person becomes the emperor, he If you do bad things, the bad guys in Zhongdu will become rampant, and what will you do then?"
Su Yonglin asked this question very well, and everyone was silent.
The workers in the front fell silent when they heard this, and the workers in the back also fell silent when they heard what the people in front relayed what Su Yonglin said.
Field director Fangyuan and instructor Tang Zhi also fell silent because they were also a little worried about this issue.
The subordinates who followed Su Yonglin also fell silent, because they were also very concerned about this issue.
Niu Meng thought for a while and couldn't think of a reason, so he had to look at Su Yonglin.
"Chairman, I am stupid and can't figure it out. You are the smartest, so what do you think we should do?"
"Now, am I not going to teach you what to do?"
Su Yonglin smiled and pointed at Niu Meng: "You have to ask yourself, because you are a representative of industrial workers and you are going to Zhongdu to attend the People's Representatives Conference. Do you know what the People's Representatives Conference is going to do?"
"Know."
Niu Meng nodded: "A large group of us will all go to Zhongdu to hold a meeting of people's representatives. The imperial court will inform us of its national policies and what it wants to do. Only when we agree can the imperial court If we don’t agree to do it, the court can’t do it.”
Su Yonglin spread his hands and smiled.
"Isn't this what it is? What I can't do, you can do. With this system of people's representative meetings, from now on, the court should be afraid of you. The court won't do anything you don't agree with. Do you think it's okay? If you vote against it at the meeting, as long as more than one-third of the votes are against it, the court cannot do that thing."
Niu Meng glared and slapped his head.
"It seems like this. I am a representative. If I think the court's policy is not good, then I will vote against it and prevent the policy from being implemented. Is this the truth, Chairman?"
"Yes, that's the truth."
Su Yonglin nodded happily: "Establish this system and stick to it. No matter what the court wants to do in the future, it will require your consent. As long as you don't agree, the court cannot handle things legitimately. This is the people's representative system. significance."
"That's it!"
Niu Meng figured it out and was overjoyed.
The workers below also started talking in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.
Su Yonglin smiled and patted Niu Meng's shoulder.
"Is this good?"
"Very good!"
Niu Meng said excitedly: "Isn't this the same as us becoming the masters of the court? I have never thought that such a thing could happen before! Chairman, we...we rough guys can really...really be able to Be the master of the court?"
"Of course, our Ming Dynasty is a country of workers and peasants, a country of democracy."
Su Yonglin looked north, in the direction of Zhongdu.
"You are supposed to be the masters of the court. The court and its officials should never be masters. They eat, wear, and use your things. Everything comes from you. They are not qualified to be masters."
"If they want to be masters, they have forgotten their roots. People who forget their roots are not worthy of being officials of the Ming Dynasty and should be killed."
"You must make good use of this system to prevent some people in the court from forgetting their roots. You must let them know at all times that they should never be the master."
"In short, you must remember that Ming Dynasty is a country of workers and peasants, a country of democracy, not a country of masters. You must have courage. If the masters want to do something, you must have the courage to fight bravely with the masters."
"I am not a god. I will die. When I am alive, you can expect me and believe in me. But after I die, if you don't know who to believe, then you have to believe in yourself."
"You must dare to fight against those high-ranking officials, dare to express opposing opinions, and be tough and brave. Counter-revolutionary guys are all timid. If you are tough, they will become weak."
Nice romance
……………………
Su Yonglin spoke a lot to the workers around him, telling them many tips and tricks on how to deal with the master, telling them that they must be strong and firm before they can deal with the master.
The lords may appear at any time. It is easy for the lords to unite, but it is difficult for the people to unite. That is why the people's representative conference system is needed to help the people unite.
When the people unite, they can eliminate the old masters and deter the potential masters who have not yet completely degenerated.
All in all, people cannot lie on the ground and wait for Su Yonglin to feed food into their mouths one bite at a time.
Even if it was okay when he was alive, would it still be okay after he died?
Therefore, Su Yonglin hopes that the people can truly and spontaneously mobilize to safeguard the revolution and the achievements of the revolution, instead of watching it all lost.
