Chapter 156: Forming the Pavilion (Part 2)

The Donglin Party's policy theory won the first place among all parties, but because the Qi Party relied on the same Shandong faction as Zhao Yan, it attached great importance to this policy theory. It only wrote some clichés for those who symbolize the surname. Compared with the clichés of other parties, it was the last. Zhao Yan did not hesitate and directly criticized it.

On the first day of October, Zhao Yan summoned various parties again.

The heads and deputy of various parties arrived at the "Cabinet Executive Yuan" where Zhao Yan was staying early in the morning. Qian Qianyi also came early in the morning and was not in a good mood.

The Ming Zhuo Party led by Yan Jizu and the Republican Party led by Zhu Dadian have occupied half of the seats. This is the spoil of Zhao Yan as the winner.

Lu Xiangsheng's royalist party occupied a quarter of the seats, which can be seen as a compromise transfer between Zhao Yan and the chief officials of the border. The remaining 25% of the seats were distributed to them, such as the officials of the court who had no military power and had no severity and were more difficult. Now it depends on Zhao Yan's own decision. According to Qian Qianyi, the party should be the first in the battle.

The Donglin Party, at most, is like other parties, and will be insignificant in the cabinet, but Qian Qianyi still has confidence.

Because there are many members of the Donglin Party in the Royalist Party, these Donglin Party members are mostly upright people who can enter the Royalist Party. If they encounter a decision, they just need to tell a reason and can win them over to themselves. At the same time, they can also make friends with the Republican Party and the Mingzhu Party’s cabinet members. In this way, their voice will be much higher.

Of course, Qian Qianyi naturally did not have a fool to challenge Zhao Yan's authority. He intended to make friends with the Republican Party and the Mingzhuo Party, just to improve his voice.

Qian Qianyi could see that Shandong had strong soldiers and strong horses, and its management was greater than that of other provinces in the Ming Dynasty. As long as Zhao Yan was not over-hearted and fought too much in the war, Chongzhen would have no room for a turnaround before Zhao Yan died.

Judging from age and physical fitness, it is clear who will live long at a glance. At least before he dies, Chongzhen and Zhao Yan may not be able to die, so Qian Qianyi naturally understands who he is in return.

Qian Qianyi visited Zhao Yan before and was turned away. The other parties were the same. It seems that if he wants to surrender to Zhao Yan, he can only express himself in his actions.

In terms of future, Qian Qianyi has absolute confidence.

Because Zhao Yan lacks a strong supporter. Although Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian support Zhao Yan, neither of them has any other reputation.

This reputation refers to the literary talent. His position in the hearts of scholars all over the world must definitely surpass Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng held military power and did not fully support Zhao Yan. He also used the banner of being a royal. He could only be said to be a neutral faction with bottom line and rules.

There is no need to say much about Yan Jizu. Compared with him, Qian Qianyi, his fame is far different.

As for Chen Zhongsheng, shortly after entering the court, even though the people in the world knew this person, they had no reputation. Not to mention Sun Chuanting, he clearly stood opposite Zhao Yan.

At the same time, the fifty cabinet members of the Republican Party and the Mingzhu Party were all unknown.

After analyzing along the way, Qian Qianyi felt that Zhao Yan lacked an assistant with appeal, and his appeal was naturally not exaggerated.

As long as you form a cabinet, respond more to Zhao Yan's intentions and wave more flags and shout more in the "Ming Dynasty Daily", you will naturally be attracted by Zhao Yan as your confidant. It will be natural to get promoted and get rich.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, all members of all parties arrived. In addition to the Republican Party, the 50 members of the Mingzhuo Party, and the 25 members of the Royalist Party, the remaining nine parties and nearly hundreds of officials were present.

At this time, Zhao Yan walked out of the back hall.

Zhao Yan's spirit looks extremely good. Since he fell down from Chongzhen, he has been in a great mood. With his long-term exercise and his incredibly strong physique after traveling through time, he is absolutely full of energy.

Zhao Yan held a dozen thick policy arguments in his hand. As soon as he walked out, everyone bowed to him. The words "I have seen the general" were even more deafening than the sound of long live in the court in the union of nearly two hundred people. Of course, it is not ruled out that the fifty cabinet officers transferred from Shandong were yelling. Zhao Yan smiled and replied, "You can sit down with me and talk!"

"General Xie." Everyone said in unison again, and sat down with Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan shook the thick stack of strategy in his hand, looked up and glanced at it, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

Judging from Zhao Yan's appearance, he wants to announce the ranking of the advantages and disadvantages of the policy.

"In the twelve parties, except for the Republican Party, Mingzhuan Party and Royalist Party, the other nine parties have all the strategies and opinions here." Zhao Yan said as he raised the strategy and opinions in his hand, and then continued: "I reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy and opinions overnight yesterday and also determined the ranking. However, the ranking is not decided by the officials alone. Since we are practicing Mingzhuan, we should do Mingzhuan. I will read it again and decide the rankings together."

All the officials present were stunned, even Sun Chuanting. They originally thought that the remaining twenty-five seats would definitely be determined by Zhao Yan's preferences, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Is it a show?

Many people have this idea in their minds. If Zhao Yan wants to do a show, with so many of his personnel on the scene and some officials fearing his power, he can completely say that the black ones are just plain and the dead ones are alive.

It's just hypocrisy!

However, what happened next was once again beyond the expectations of the officials present.

Zhao Yan took out a strategy from the bottom and said, "I won't say much nonsense, let's start now! The last one is the party policy discussion..."

Zhao Yan handed over the policy statement, and Mao Yuanyi, who was next to him, took the policy statement and read it out.

Qi Dang's policy theory was very short and the content was very empty. I quickly finished reading it. The faces of Qi Dang officials below changed. Only then did I realize that Zhao Yan did not favor them because they were from Shandong.

The other officials' faces became strange, but they were more confused and confused, not knowing what trick Zhao Yan played.

"The whole party's policy talks are full of nonsense, and they don't write them carefully. I think it's a mistake. There should be no objection to everyone." Zhao Yan said loudly.

The officials below started to discuss, and the officials of the Party all blushed. The officials present once again couldn't understand what trick Zhao Yan was playing.

Only those who have more contact with Zhao Yan know Zhao Yan's style. Zhao Yan acts, and thinks that he doesn't like any conspiracy and tricks, and he is even more upright.

According to the rules of survival in the officialdom, people like Zhao Yan will be 100% killed in the officialdom if they are 100% killed in the grassroots level, but Zhao Yan has never been away from the officialdom, but speaks with powerful force.

His rise was entirely based on continuous accumulation of strength and followed the supreme kingdom. Those in power who like to use intrigue but do not want to develop often fall apart, because apart from conspiracy, their own force is very weak, that is, they cannot physically eliminate the enemy country, nor can they resist the enemy country's physical elimination of their physical elimination.

Qi Dang was quickly excluded. Originally, Zhao Yan wanted to arrange more seats for them, but because they were too unsuccessful, they actually made such a bad policy. Based on Zhao Yan's judgment principle, they were powerless! Now they can only send Qi Dang officials to the local area.

Although these officials of the Party of China were not much better than [***], at least they were in Zhao Yan's camp and were more cooperative in their actions.

Then, Zhao Yan asked Mao Yuanyi and Zhang Zhi to read the other party policy arguments one by one. After reading it, Zhao Yan would give a reason to determine the ranking of superiority and inferiority. Some of the officials present did not agree with some of Zhao Yan's views, but under the debate between the two sides, the officials quickly retreated. Zhao Yan's every view was based on the truth, but these principles did not necessarily make sense in this era, so they needed dialectics.

Zhao Yan's side has many people, and the more he talks, the more he makes people feel it makes sense. Those officials who dare not agree are speechless and can only be convinced.

When I read the eighth policy theory, I still didn’t see the Donglin Party’s policy theory. Qian Qianyi was surprised that Zhao Yan actually gave the first place to the Donglin Party?

This is something Qian Qianyi never expected, and it was something that all the Donglin Party had never expected.

"The Donglin Party's policy-making theory is more pragmatic than the previous eight copies, and it deserves to be the first." Zhao Yan stood up and said after Mao Yuanyi finished reading the Donglin Party's policy-making theory. However, Zhao Yan then changed the subject and continued: "However, the Donglin Party's policy-making theory says that light commercial tax is for the benefit of the people, but I dare not agree with it."

"The general's words are bad, but it can benefit the people's interests with less commercial taxes! For example, if a farmer needs an iron hoe. If the court collects the mine tax, the price of the iron hoe will inevitably rise. It originally only costs one qian of silver, but then it requires two qian of silver, or even three qian of silver. In this way, the people will suffer." At this time, an official from the Donglin Party stepped out and retorted.

"Absurd." Zhao Yan suddenly slapped the table, scolded loudly, and asked back: "Hmph, are all businesses in the world blacksmiths who make hoes? The "About the Industrial and Commercial Regulations" written by this official has made the commercial tax very clear. If you want to benefit the people, according to your statement, you can ask the cabinet to subsidize the blacksmith and let him sell the three cents of hoes into one. As for commercial tax, it will be fine."

Seeing Zhao Yan getting angry, the Donglin Party official was quickly shrunk by Qian Qianyi.

"Okay, since you have no objection, then the ranking of the strategy is arranged in this way." Zhao Yan glanced at the officials sitting in a row, and saw that they didn't say anything, so he said directly.

"The general is wise." Suddenly an official stepped out to flatter him. When other officials saw this situation, they hesitated for a while, and stood up and followed him.

Many officials do not like flattery, but some people take the lead and more and more people get up. If they don’t get up, they are afraid of being targeted by Zhao Yan, and then they will be detained by Yang Sichang’s fellow party members, and they will be unable to eat.

Soon, all the officials stood up. In the wise voice of the general, Zhao Yan raised his hand and pressed it casually. All the officials sat down one after another. Zhao Yan continued: "According to the policy theory, the Donglin Party won five seats, the Zhejiang Party ranked second, and three seats... Qi Party ranked last, one seat, Yu Ming said, the cabinet was officially established, in charge of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Remember, as a cabinet member, you must be honest and upright, and you must also do a good job in people's livelihood, understand the public's opinion, and advocate civil rights. If anyone embezzles and accepts bribes, the official will definitely punish you."

"Do you remember?" Zhao Yan stood up and looked around, and asked the officials present in a deep voice, looking condescending and giving orders.
