In a small county in northern Anhui, propaganda officer Shi Wei was sorting out his document package, which contained copies of the latest documents brought back by the county magistrate from the capital.
After studying it all night, the propaganda department finally understood the contents.
After collective deliberations between the county magistrate and many county officials, various departments in the county were assigned to carry out publicity and research.
As the director of the Propaganda Department, Shi Wei is considered a professional counterpart in this matter.
Although he looks a little listless, if you can see his eyes, you will see the light.
No one knew how shocked they, the junior officers, were when they got this document at the conference.
"Finally, Mr. Nie is finally going a step further?"
“Are we finally going to be a nation?
"
This is everyone's first reaction.
As for the content inside, many people are even more excited.
The content of the meeting seemed to be a lot, but in fact there were two issues that urgently needed to be resolved.
First, what kind of country should we build.
In short, what kind of national system is adopted.
Second, under whose leadership we should build the country.
In short, does Mr. Nie agree to be the leader?
These are the two most important questions in the end.
With two questions in mind, publicity officer Shi Wei picked up the document package and headed towards the village or town where he was responsible for packaging films.
Qingningbao, Qingning County, northern Anhui Province, as a small town, developed very slowly in the past.
Especially because it is located on the north-south transportation artery, every time there is a war, this place will definitely bear the brunt of being dealt with.
As a result, the people in Qingning Fort became smarter, and we didn’t resist anyone who came. Anyway, they were all warlords and all Chinese.
Completely ruined.
The warlords also knew this situation and were happy about it.
Just like that, it developed slowly.
Only later, as the north and south ceased to be in opposition and were completely unified, it became a transportation hub again.
The level of prosperity is no less than that of an ordinary small county town.
Today, the mayor of Qingningbao was waiting for people from the county at the street corner.
"Director Shi, long time no see."
As the leader of this area, Shi Wei also hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Guo Zhen, have all the fellow villagers come to greet you?"
Although he is from the county, in practical terms, he is far less powerful than Guo Zhen in front of him.
After all, a powerful mayor cannot be compared to a county official.
Of course, being an official doesn't mean this. If you're unlucky, a clerk can give you eye drops.
But to be fair, the two of them are equal and respect each other. This is the most ideal situation.
Guo Zhen also took Shi Wei and said, "I have been convening people since I received your call. Now every village has sent representatives of the village committee."
"Each village has at least ten representatives, and the village chief, militia captain, etc. will also follow."
Then he asked with a curious look on his face: "Director Shi, let me know what happened. Is there going to be a war mobilization?"
This point can be seen. Although Guo Zhen is considered to have great power, the information is not as good as that of Director Shi in the county.
Director Shi didn't give in. "I couldn't explain clearly on the phone before, I was afraid you might get the wrong idea."
"These are the two main topics in last night's meeting documents, which were brought back by the county magistrate from the capital."
"It's also our mission today."
Guo Zhen quickly took the document and looked through it, but the more he read, the more excited he became. In the end, his beard was trembling, "Director Shi, is this true? Mr. Nie is finally going a step further?"
When Officer Shi saw Guo Zhen's appearance, he smiled and nodded.
"It's true. Mr. Li and Mr. Duan made the decision collectively. It is said that Mr. Nie was confused at the time."
Director Shi couldn't help but think about what Mr. Nie should have been like back then, and said happily.
Guo Zhen laughed loudly: "Mr. Nie, everything is good. You take our place seriously, but that's one thing. You are too humble."
"Who can compare with his martial arts skills? But what about Mr. Nie? But he refuses to go any further."
"This time, we, the people, can feel at ease."
Shi Wei also agreed with his face: "Yes, we think so too, but Mr. Nie should still have concerns. It is important for us to investigate the data."
"Let President Nie see our determination."
The two moved quickly. Although they were chatting, they arrived at the town square. They were supposed to go to the conference room, but Guo Zhen decided temporarily that there were too few people in the conference room.
It would be better to put it in the town square, so that the people can know more clearly what happened.
Shi Wei used a loudspeaker in the square and sat on the steps to read the document.
After explaining one by one at last, more and more people gathered in the square.
When Shi Wei finished reading, some people immediately stood up excitedly.
"Director Shi, are you asking whether Mr. Nie supports being the emperor?"
Shi Wei smiled and nodded.
This is actually what it means.
He didn't say anything too profound either. gōΠb.ōγg
A burst of discussion broke out in the crowd.
Then it turned into an argument.
"Bullshit, Mr. Nie, don't say that becoming emperor means taking my life, I will give it to you right away!"
"After all, we have been a republic for so many years. If an emperor suddenly comes, don't we have to be the same as before?"
"I remember you, kid, from the four villages below, right? I remember what life you lived in your family a few years ago? You almost went out to beg, right? What about now? I heard that new houses have been built?"
"Who gave these to you? You didn't say anything when you got the benefits. Now that your life is better, you don't support Mr. Nie?"
"Ungrateful thing."
The man was so ashamed that he said, "That's not what I meant!"
"Then what do you mean? Just say you support it or not?"
If nothing else, Nie Li's reputation among the people is that of a god. Not to mention being an emperor, people are happy to provide for him every day.
Not for anything else, just because Mr. Nie allowed them to live a good life.
As for the Republic?
Haha, after so many years of doing this, if it weren’t for Mr. Nie, what kind of life would they be living?
Let the foreign powers bully them, make them homeless, and allow warlords to fight.
For simple people, they don't mind multiple emperors as long as they can live a good life.
However, Nie Li is slowly realizing all of this.
Those who wanted to object fell silent.
Shi Wei and others did not interfere. It was a free discussion, and some things were left unexplained.
It wasn't until the representatives and those who came after hearing the news were almost finished discussing that Shi Wei took out the questionnaire.
"Now, I will send out these questionnaires anonymously. You can write them as you like."
“Whether you support it or not, no one will look after you.
"
Some people raised their hands bravely and asked, "Director Shi, can we write some reasons to support him? Or something from the bottom of his heart."
Um?
Shi Wei's eyes lit up, this seemed good, and he readily agreed.
"Can!"
A group of people were filling out questionnaires in the square. Fortunately, these people were all representatives, so they could at least form sentences.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to join the ranks of representatives.
The sound of brushing sounded.
After Shi Wei collected the questionnaire, he did not go back, but continued to descend to the village.
