Su Yonglin spent a lot of time saying these words to the representatives of the people in each province, word for word, every word.
Because this is indeed what he wants to tell people from the bottom of his heart.
He is not a god, he will die, he will leave the country he created with his own hands and never come back, but how can the people he cares about live happily forever?
They must have power. Only with power can they have status, and with status can they protect themselves. It is almost impossible to always expect the conscience of bureaucrats, just like expecting capitalists to actively dedicate everything they have.
Su Yonglin hopes to teach the representatives elected by this group of people while he is still alive, so that they understand the importance of the votes in their hands and how hard-won everything today is.
They also need to know the rules of the game in the Ming Dynasty, know what bureaucracy is, and know how to fight against the deteriorating environment.
In one meeting after another of 200 to 300 people, Su Yonglin took the trouble to speak sincerely, just like my mother educating her young children about the world.
The eyes of the people were focused on him, as if he was shining, and he conveyed his expectations for the future, his infinite expectations for the future, to the people he deeply trusted.
The time soon arrived in late December of the twelfth year of Hongwu's reign, and all the people's representatives and representatives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had arrived in Zhongdu. No one was missing, and no one was left behind.
The convening time and duration of the two major meetings have been notified, and the content to be discussed at the two major meetings has also been notified.
Because the two major conferences are held every five years, the content discussed at each Central Representative Conference and People's Representative Conference is what Ming Dynasty needs to do in the next five years.
The Central Representative Conference will be held first, followed by the People’s Representative Conference.
What the Central Conference of Representatives has to do is to put forward preliminary proposals.
In short, it is to gather the most elite, capable, and experienced civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty to hold a conference to formulate a five-year development plan with practical value for the next five years of the Ming Dynasty, and to prepare for the development of the next five years. Make a long-term prediction.
The content of the People's Congress is review and authorization.
The five-year plan initially agreed upon by the Central Representative Conference is conveyed to the People's Congress, which will vote on each item in the five-year plan. Those that pass can become national policies and be assigned to the state department for research and implementation. Those that cannot be passed can I have to call back and re-plan.
The rejected content has a chance to be re-planned and reviewed again. If it is still rejected for the second time, it will not be passed and will either be abandoned or left to the next people's congress to continue review and fight for it again.
The resolution made by the People's Congress is the national will of the Ming Dynasty, the highest will, and even Su Yonglin, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, cannot overturn it.
Therefore, once a project is confirmed and rejected, it will not be possible to realize it within five years. Otherwise, it is illegal and violates the political rules of the Ming Dynasty. It is a criminal act and must bear the consequences.
In addition, all major official agencies across China must send representatives to report to the People's Congress during the People's Congress.
They need to make written reports on what they have done, the responsibilities they have assumed, and the achievements they have achieved during the five-year plan period. The reports must be well-standardized and reviewed and graded by the public representative meeting.
The final rating has four grades: excellent, medium, and poor. It must reach good or above to be recognized as serious work and achievements.
If it cannot reach the level of a two-thirds majority of the meeting representatives giving a good or above evaluation, the work report will not be passed, and the department must accept collective accountability from the People's Representative Meeting. Based on the accountability results, the Organization Department will decide on the department The issue of promotion and retention of officials.
"The Sword Comes"
No matter who the leader of the department is, no matter how high his status or authority is, even Su Yonglin himself.
If the work of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Military Affairs and Ministry of Industry cannot be recognized by the People's Congress, then even Su Yonglin will be held accountable and may be demoted.
For example, the army lost the war, or the Ministry of Industry's projects were not completed well, or the scientific research project that was scheduled to produce results encountered problems and failed, thus wasting national funds.
These are things that need to be held accountable.
Su Yonglin hoped to use this to motivate the court departments to move forward, instead of gradually degenerating in the comfortable atmosphere day after day and becoming more fond of enjoying than doing things.
Laziness and corruption are both bad governance and will make people suffer.
And sometimes, if you don't supervise the bureaucrats with a whip, they will really dare to show you the mess, and there is no lower limit to the mess.
Anyway, the bureaucracy always has more retreat than the people. The people actually have no escape except the land under their feet. If they don’t manage the land under their feet well and truly love the land under their feet, the people will not end well.
Ming Dynasty does not need people who act bad. Ming Dynasty only needs people who work hard. If you want to act badly, then give up your power and become your common people. You can do whatever you want, no one will care about you.
Whenever you put on this outfit, you have to think carefully about whether you have the perseverance to keep moving forward.
Su Yonglin had notified the two major meetings and the major departments of the imperial court of what needed to be done during the meeting before the meeting began. This meeting was the first meeting in the world and a serious exercise of the democratic republic system.
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty was very concerned about this meeting. From the central government to the local governments, from Su Yonglin to ordinary citizens, and even foreigners living in Zhongdu, they were all extremely curious about it.
For example, the envoys from the major vassal states in Zhongdu were very curious about this meeting, which had never happened since the beginning of the world. They wanted to know what could be changed by such a meeting, and how it could bring the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. What way up?
No one knew what substantive benefits Su Yonglin would bring to the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, many people did not understand and were unwilling to understand Su Yonglin's act of voluntarily giving up imperial power.
They secretly mocked Su Yonglin in their hearts, feeling that Su Yonglin would definitely shoot themselves in the foot and eventually return to the old ways in embarrassment.
However, Su Yonglin really didn't expect this.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. The words spoken are like water thrown out and cannot be taken back.
The transformation of the Ming Empire into the Ming Democratic Republic is unstoppable. Whoever wants to stop it is his enemy. The most unfortunate thing in the world for an individual is to become Su Yonglin's enemy.
On December 29, the twelfth year of Hongwu's reign, Su Yonglin announced to the public that the first Central Representative Conference of the Ming Dynasty would be held on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu's reign and would last for five days.
Immediately afterwards, he announced that the First People's Congress of the Ming Dynasty would be held on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the 13th year of Hongwu's reign and would last for 15 days.
Each day's schedule and discussion items were clearly determined. Thousands of copies were printed on paper and handed over to the delegates. All delegates were busy preparing for the arrival and progress of the meeting.
Of course, this period of time is also when the 12th year of Hongwu is about to pass and the New Year is about to arrive in the 13th year of Hongwu. In the same joyful atmosphere of New Year celebrations, Su Yonglin also took time to celebrate with his family and long-lost old brothers. Fan.
As representatives of the Central Committee of the Military Council, Su Jue, Su Haisheng, Zhang Yuejing, Han Jinggui and others returned to Zhongdu from their bases to meet Su Yonglin.
These old brothers have been separated from Su Yonglin for a long time. Su Jue, who has been away for the longest time, has not seen Su Yonglin for five or six years. As soon as he sees Su Yonglin, he can't help but step forward and want to salute, but Su Yonglin is faster than him, walking quickly He stepped forward and hugged him, hugging him.
