MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 944 Legislative Hearings (Part 2)
It didn't take long for the legislative hearings to end quickly. After this hearing was successfully concluded, it was soon published in the next day's newspaper. Especially with regard to the detailed process of this legislative hearing, all aspects of this process, whether it is the legal "bricksters", those athletes, and even ordinary people, have been discussed here. And the discussions on all parties in this legislative hearing were also published, and even the positions of all parties were stated.
Especially about how the emperor Wang Guorui persuaded them one by one, and did not force the "legislation" through orders, and then the emperor Wang Guorui respected the public opinion, and really invited everyone with many interests to work together. Discussion, rather than an imperial decree issued by the emperor, the so-called legislation was carried out, which represented that the emperor respected the public opinion of the people, and then represented that Wang Guorui was not that kind of **** emperor. He was a very enlightened and very The emperor of the "Ming Lord".
"The law is the bottom line of social morality. It represents the public morality of all people in the world. It does not exist for the benefit of one family. The biggest difference between our new China and the past dynasties is that it belongs to the people of the world. The world is not the world of a certain family and the royal family. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Everyone is one of the masters of the country. Everyone has the power to participate in the management of the country. The king and the royal family are Personalization. The royal family only provides a cohesive core for the people, not the real master of the country. The king's legislation is not to facilitate the rule of one family, but to better formulate a public order that everyone can accept , in order to better enable the common people to obtain peace.”
"In the feudal dynasties in the past, all laws were enacted by the king. The idea of the king's legislation was to maintain the power of their family and family name, which disregarded the interests of the people, and then they enforced the law. Before the emperor proposed legislation, he would Hearings were held. And it did not order the monarchy to force it through, let alone threaten anyone, and gradually persuaded everyone. Even in the face of those who opposed it, they all adopted the method of persuasion. This is true love for the people. Son, truly respect the common people!"
"Loving the people like children is not really loving the people. It is only about treating the people as the real masters of the country, and treating yourself as one of the citizens of the country, not the master of the country. True love for the people is not about treating the people as sons and the people, but It is to truly treat the people as the masters, and treat the people as one of the masters of the country. This is the true love for the people. The king is not the master of the country, but the king is also one of the citizens of the country, just the first citizen.”
Wang Guorui's group of royal literati braggers hurriedly boasted in newspapers and various media, and then tried their best to brag for Wang Guorui here, so that everyone really knew how Wang Guorui truly loved the people. How to truly respect the people, and not choose to directly legislate through mandatory orders in order to maintain the world of one family and one family name. He adopted the real method of letting the people participate in the legislation, allowing the people to make their own voices in the legislation, letting the people really know the importance of this legislation, and let the people really participate in the legislation.
Although this may only be on the surface, but this is just a fool. Perhaps the invitation to this hearing, although it is only a formality, represents an attitude. Whether or not the hearings are effective may simply be a matter of enforcement. But if you don't even have a hearing, then this is a matter of attitude. In many cases, the issue of attitude is far more important than the facts. If the government does not even have an attitude, it will be the most tragic. If you don't even have a real attitude, the people won't believe you at all.
Wang Guorui's propagandists tried their best to promote it in the newspapers, and then let them all see it, so it aroused many comments from the people.
"The emperor actually gave us the common people the opportunity to participate in legislation, which is really great." A worker said.
But obviously, some are very disdainful, saying: "See if you are happy? You are not going to participate. Maybe this legislative hearing is just a process. In fact, it is what it should be."
"How can you say that? The emperor really let our people participate, and persuaded them one by one, and then let them be sincerely convinced, without persecution or torture. Isn't that very good? The emperor is one by one Persuasion is not persecution!" said a worker who helped Wang Guorui.
However, those so-called literati are very disdainful. All these old literati are now "spider spiders". They have no great skills, but they are unwilling to start from scratch. They have a bit more ink than some ordinary people, but they are not flashy at all, and they don't have much real ability. But they don't want to do things through honest efforts, but hope to reach the sky in one step. They are just dawdling for a day, just hoping to get some so-called drunkenness and dreams in this way.
They are unwilling to change, they just want to curse people to find a sense of existence. This kind of guy who dangles with a bottle full of half a bottle deliberately shows off his so-called culture in front of those workers, but there is nothing he can do about it. They can't lift their hands and resist, relying on the so-called increasingly meager land income to dawdle, and they don't know how long this kind of life can last. In short, they are just drunk today.
However, these so-called literati do not have much market in the hearts of ordinary people. Too many workers have moved from the countryside to the city, and they have seen a lot more of the world. They are not like those in the countryside in the past, but they can only guard one-third of an acre of land, and then most of the news is conveyed through those gentry. In the past, in those rural areas, squires were required to pass on the information and play the role of uploading and distributing. Those squires also do some deceitful things, and seek benefits for themselves through this method of enriching their own pockets.
But ordinary people don't have more sources of information, so naturally they can only believe what they say. But now that they have come to the city, they have many times more channels to get in touch with news, so it is naturally impossible to let those gentry say what they say. Those so-called scholars saw those "mud-legged people" in the past and saw that they didn't have much admiration for themselves. In the past, they adored them very much, but now they have contempt in their eyes. In the past, what these scholars said, those mud-legged people also regarded it as an "imperial decree", but now that these "mud-legged people" have their own news channels, naturally they will not just listen to them and be exploited by them casually.
"This time the emperor asked everyone to participate in this hearing. Will there be hearings for other things in the future? Yes, I heard that the court will increase taxes in the future, so there will be hearings. In the future, any heavy tax increase will be held. Then it is up to the farmers to put forward their opinions and express their own opinions. Otherwise, it will be the same as in the past, the imperial court will increase taxes if they want to, and they will not discuss with us at all. Now they want to discuss with us, not the imperial court In a word, we will also raise taxes.”
For this point, many low-level people are very concerned. What the people are most concerned about is not politics, let alone international relations, which country they are fighting with today, and who is having conflicts with whom today. In fact, the people are more concerned about whether their income has increased or decreased. Is the price of goods high, or the cost of living, is the cost of raising children too high? In fact, they don't care about those major national affairs, but when it comes to tax collection, hearings should be held, and then the people can make their voices heard. This is what everyone cares about most.
In fact, many peasant uprisings in ancient times were largely due to the lack of communication channels between the imperial court and the common people~www.novelbuddy.com~This resulted in such results. The emperor regarded the country as his own, and then used "domestic servants", that is, those officials to manage it. But in fact, these domestic servants seem to be a "class". They exploit the people and let these gentry undertake the task of communicating from top to bottom, so they will definitely deceive the upper and lower. This is almost certain. Those officials think that the world is not theirs anyway, and if they are corrupted, it will be a big deal to change to another master. And they all squeezed the people hard, so that there was no communication between the upper and lower levels, and the people were squeezed by the officials. However, none of the policies to benefit the people issued by the emperor could be implemented by officials with vested interests. In particular, a penny of tax from their imperial court may be ten times higher at the grassroots level, so this is the saddest thing!
So of course Wang Guorui would not allow this to happen. The reason why he held this hearing was actually to strengthen communication between the top and bottom, and to prevent those officials from enriching their own pockets in the middle. Only by strengthening the communication between the top and bottom, can we not be fooled by those officials. There are many methods of deception in the bureaucracy. They wish to lock the emperor in the palace. This will prevent the emperor from knowing the outside world. their policies.
How sad is it that many emperors have been fooled by these bureaucrats because of poor news? If Wang Guorui wanted to avoid this situation, he had to strengthen the communication between the top and bottom. This hearing can greatly increase communication from top to bottom. (To be continued.)
