Chapter 639 A Meeting of Historic Significance
The morning light appeared, the sky was filled with a faint dawn glow, and the air was mixed with coolness and freshness.
The window opened slightly, and a touch of golden light fell quietly.
On this day, the entire Fuming Town woke up early.
Exclusive commuter buses picked up the representatives dressed in their best from each inn.
Haas wore a large string of red tortoise shells around his neck and a large blue agate ring on his right hand.
He sat in the commuter bus, his legs trembling slightly, and he was mumbling something.
"Chief Has, you have come to Yunzhou so many times. Yunzhou is your home. Why are you so nervous in your own home?"
The commuter train was too quiet. Ma Nantian felt as if every second passed like an age, so he started chatting with Haas.
Haas wiped his face and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Isn't this my first time attending a conference? Duke Yun asked us to prepare a proposal and speak on stage. I don't speak Chinese well, I'm afraid I'll forget it."
After saying that, Haas took out a square piece of paper from his clothes, unfolded it carefully, and simply read it in a low voice.
Seeing this, the others became even more nervous and took out papers and started reciting again.
Widow Sun could not read, so she closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage, and silently recited the prepared speech in her mind.
With the traffic police's guidance, vehicles passed smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the venue of the meeting.
Fuming Town Training Camp!
At this moment, the originally empty playground in the training camp was now filled with neatly arranged chairs with the names of the participating delegates labeled on them.
And on the podium, the highest chair in the center naturally belongs to Duke Yun.
There are two rows of chairs on the left and right sides, where Wang Buxi, Cui Sanlun and others will sit.
On both sides of the general's platform, there were sixteen large military drums, and in front of each drum stood a tall and strong soldier.
And around the camp, every one meter there stood a fully armed Yunzhou soldier holding a spear.
Outside the camp, more than a dozen teams of Yunzhou soldiers were patrolling non-stop and without blind spots to ensure the smooth convening of this meeting.
When Ma Nantian and others got off the commuter bus, someone took them to their respective seats.
When Ma Nantian arrived, quite a few people were already sitting in the camp. They sat in their seats and did not dare to talk to each other.
Ma Nantian swallowed and sat down in his seat. His muscles were very stiff, his heart was pounding, and his mouth was dry.
On the table in front of him, in addition to writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, there was also a pot of tea.
Ma Nantian stretched out his hand and put it down again.
Haas, who was sitting next to him, was not much better than him. Although it was early winter, he had a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Ma Nantian could also hear Widow Sun on his other side breathing heavily as if she was drowning.
Ma Nantian smiled bitterly in his heart, he had fought in wars, engaged in smuggling, all kinds of business that required him to put his head on the line. He thought that nothing could make him nervous, but he did not expect that just attending a conference would make him almost unable to speak!
Fortunately, this torment did not last too long. With the soldiers around saluted in unison, everyone knew that she was here!
Gu Nanxi was wearing a round-necked, narrow-sleeved black robe today, which was covered with broken branch patterns in gold thread.
The broken branch pattern is centered on a five-petal flower, with three small teardrop-shaped leaves emerging from the top and vines entwined at the bottom.
She wore a belt with a bouquet of gold and silver peonies around her waist and black boots on her feet.
Under the sunlight, it is shining brightly.
The civil servants following behind her, such as Wang Buxi, wore round-necked and wide-sleeved robes with horizontal tassels at the bottom of the hem, leather belts around their waists, a fu hat on their heads, and boots on their feet.
Military officers wore armor.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Nanxi led everyone to the stage and sat down one by one.
Su Yunyan is still the host of the meeting.
She stood in front of the stage and said in a loud voice: "The first political and economic conference in the north, the political discussion stage, has officially begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sixteen military drums began to beat in unison.
The sound of drums was like the galloping of thousands of troops, making everyone's blood boil.
Ma Nantian and others trembled all over and looked at the stage with burning eyes.
At this moment, they wished they could turn into swords and charge into battle for Duke Yun on the stage!
After the drumbeat, the first process began: the interpretation of the new policy.
If you want to discuss politics, you must understand the new policies.
In particular, the reforms in the three counties of Yunzhou were particularly major.
The new policy contained quite a lot of content, and Wang Buxi was the one who took the stage to deliver the speech on the official reform.
[Hezhong Prefecture and Shuozhou were combined into Zhongnan Road, Caoyuan Yunzhou was combined into Yunbei Road, and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were combined into Youyun Road. ]
As soon as these words came out, Haas's face instantly turned into a chrysanthemum.
Although they all felt that they should belong to Yunzhou, there has never been a valid document to prove this.
And at this meeting, the ownership of their grassland was finally determined!
Wang Buxi continued.
[The Political Affairs Hall was established, with Duke Yun as the core, and the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Works were established. ]
Oh my god!
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar from the audience.
Ma Nantian felt his head buzzing. Although the Duke of Yun did not become king, what she did was almost the same as becoming a king!
They actually made six of them.
Where would the Great Zhou Dynasty save its reputation?
At the same time, this also completely separated the three counties from the Great Zhou in terms of legislation.
From now on, it will be impossible for the Zhou Dynasty court to transfer officials from the three counties in the name of the court to cause trouble for Duke Yun!
Wang Buxi was not moved at all by the people below.
He thought to himself, this is just the beginning. There are too many contents in the administrative reform, and each one is a bombshell.
Wang Buxi: "Establish a Privy Council to take charge of the three armies."
Wang Buxi did not give too much explanation on this point.
After all, it involves military affairs, so we should keep it confidential if possible.
Wang Buxi: "Establish a Grand Minister of Agriculture, and divide it into the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Salt and Iron, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Maritime Customs, and the Ministry of Cotton."
As for glass affairs, they were assigned to the Ministry of Industry.
Ma Nantian's eyes darkened. Cotton was actually established as a separate company. It can be seen that Duke Yun attaches great importance to cotton.
As a result, cotton will definitely be an important development opportunity in the next few years.
When he was traveling west for business, he also came into contact with a lot of Western cotton, so he could find a chance to inquire about it.
Wang Buxi first explained all the reforms, and then used plain language to tell the people below which department should be in charge of what and which department to go to when encountering different problems.
Now everyone understood.
After all, what is closely related to our lives is nothing more than food, clothing, housing, transportation, paying taxes, serving in the military, sending children to school, and providing for the elderly.
It took a whole day just to interpret the content on this aspect.
Those delegates who could read took notes, while those who could not read tried to write down the words using circles, crosses, flowers and other symbols that they understood their meanings.
After Ma Nantian and others returned to the inn, they began to gather together to verify the information, fearing that they had remembered it wrong.
