I’m The King Chapter 1289: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and seventy-nine) Parliament building

On December 15th, Jicheng under the heavy snow woke up very early. Just as the bell of the fifth watch rang, the lights of every county in the Jicheng Guild Hall were lit up at almost the same time. The quiet guild hall became lively in no time. Members who went to bed early yesterday will all be fully dressed and come to the lobby on the first floor to gather. There, a rich breakfast has been prepared for them. After a meal, they will set off for the Great Chamber.

The annual Great Council is a time when various places confront each other, especially those less developed and more remote states and counties, which appear to be full of combat effectiveness. There is growth every year, but the growth is also limited. Who doesn't want to get a little more from this big pie? Even a county like Jishi County, which is rich and crowned, is thinking about getting a share of the pie. No one thinks there is too much money, right? With more money, we can naturally do more things for the local people, and let the people feel more grateful for the hard work of these congressmen. The people in Jishi County have already solved the problem of food and clothing, and now the whole county is making great strides towards well-off. The fact that Yingshui took the lead in distributing allowances to the elderly over 60 years old made the entire Jishi County regret not falling. Why didn't I think of such a big gain of fame? Even if you keep up now, that would still be second!

The first place will get a prize, and the second place will only have soup.

However, the first two days should be more relaxed. According to the agenda of previous years, on the first day, the government affairs hall will present the government's annual work report for the deliberation of the parliamentarians, and then the top officials of various ministries will summarize the achievements and mistakes of this year. , Starting from the next day, the budgets submitted by various places began to be considered. But this year, an agenda has been added. All the members will vote to elect the next Chief Assistant. This is the first time for these members. With one vote in their hands, it is possible to decide who the next member of parliament will be. Why not let them be excited?

When the sky was slightly bright, everyone was already full of food and drink, and the carriage outside the door had already been prepared. Everyone went out one by one, boarded the carriage, and went straight to the location of the Great Council.

The brand-new parliament building was just completed this year. Compared with the previous large conference hall, it is completely independent from the previous government offices. It is far away from the royal palace, but compared to the lofty royal palace, this parliament building is much taller.

The new parliament building with the latest reinforced concrete structure is as high as five floors. The nearly 20-meter-high building stands out from the crowd. Standing on the top of the building, you can completely overlook the whole of Jicheng. When it was first built, the old man from the Ministry of Rites Shang Shu Xun Xiu also strongly opposed it, and Xun Lao Shang Shu believed that it was in Jicheng. There must be no buildings higher than the main hall of the Han Palace, but this proposal was refuted by Gao Yuan without any face, and Lao Shangshu Xun was so angry that he fell ill. Even the queen came to visit the building in person, but the building grew taller day by day, and finally appeared in front of the eyes of the entire Jicheng people.

On the top of the building, the four one-meter-sized characters of "Parliament Building" are extremely conspicuous. From far away, you can see this building and the big characters on it at a glance, which has become a landmark building in Jicheng. before the building. It was a huge square, and there were already many carriages parked there at this time, and the soldiers of the Young Guards were directing the carriage drivers to park these carriages one by one at the designated locations.

Dawn is late in winter, and the sky is still very dark at this time, but in front of the parliament building, there are two beams of light shooting directly from the ground, illuminating the word parliament building in every detail. This strange scene immediately Attracted all the congressmen who came to the meeting, they flocked to the two light sources emitting light beams. They were two box-like things installed in the flower bed. There were railings in front of the flower bed, and there were guards standing on both sides. It can only be seen from a distance but not played with.

The railings were packed with curious parliamentarians, and when they approached them, they could see more clearly that there was only a candle as thick as an arm burning in the box, but why did this supposedly weak light shine from the box? When it came out, it became so radiant?

"What kind of invention is this again?" Someone among the councilors asked loudly.

In Dahan, there are strange and weird inventions appearing in the world every day, and every day people will become rich because of their own inventions. Now seeing this strange scene, Dahan people will not think that this is some kind of supernatural manifestation, some ghosts and ghosts , it is natural to think that this is another peculiar invention.

This is true of ordinary Han people, let alone these well-informed congressmen.

"This is just developed by Mingbo Company." Chen Fang whispered to a member of parliament next to him. As people from Jishicheng, they have a natural sensitivity to new technologies, and they have inquired clearly for a long time. up. "You all know the glass they produce, right?"

"Of course I know, I just installed it in my house, not to mention, it really has the same benefit in this winter, you can enjoy the snow scene while sitting in the house, not as cold as before. But it's also sold well. It's really expensive." A person next to him said, shaking his head again and again.

"Every good thing is naturally expensive when it comes out." Chen Fang said with a smile: "Like Procter & Gamble, what was the price for a piece of soap three years ago? But now, there are more people doing it, His price will naturally come down, I heard that this thing is made of this kind of glass, which can amplify the faint light."

"This thing is transparent, how can it make such tricks?"

Chen Fangchi laughed, "If everyone knows, how can others get rich? Of course there are special technologies here, but we don't know about it."

"Mr. Chen, since you know so much, you must be thinking about taking a share or simply buying him, right? If there is such a good thing, don't forget to give your brother a hand." A person behind squeezed over , Chen Fang turned his head and saw that he recognized a member of the Tianhe County Councilor. This man, like himself, was also a workshop owner from the wealthy side.

"Of course I asked, but I advise you, bro, don't think about it?" Chen Fang smiled, "The boss of Mingbo Company is Wang Kang."

"Wang Kang, I've never heard of it!" The businessman shook his head.

Chen Fang laughed again: "Brother, then go and find out who this Wang Kang is first, and then come to think about it, okay?" Throwing these words, he put his hands behind his back and shook He wobbled away.

"Speaker, who is this Wang Kang?" Behind him, a member of Jishi County asked in a low voice.

"This Wang Kang used to be the king's personal soldier." Chen Fang lowered his voice and said, "So if you think about it carefully, isn't it self-evident what is behind the Mingbo company? At first I also thought about buying it." This is Ming Bo, but as soon as he inquired about the origin of this Wang Kang, he immediately died down."

"So it's the king's company." The councilor stuck out his tongue, "It seems that our king was really pushed by Minister Wang, and actually asked his personal soldiers to come out to do business and dare not put his name on it."

Chen Fang laughed. The matter of the king chasing Wang Wudi because he couldn't ask for salary was spread all over the world because of the Dahan Weekly. Such a holy king is really rare in a thousand years. Looking at the history books, when can we see that the king of a country is actually unable to ask for salary from his subordinates? This king is not empty-handed, but the founding king of the strongest kingdom in the world Woolen cloth!

The bell rang, and the gate of the parliament building slowly opened amidst the bell. Hundreds of members climbed up the steps and filed into the parliament building. As the gate creaked shut, the inside and outside were separated. A group of heavily armed Young Guard soldiers stood in front of the gate in awe.

The hall on the first floor is extremely high. Looking up, I'm afraid it's more than five meters. The layout in the hall is also very distinctive. It's high around and low in the middle. Rows of desks and chairs are neatly arranged , each area is marked with a name, and each chair is pasted with a name. It is obvious that a lot of effort has been made. When everyone sees the inside, they can understand it with just a glance. Everyone finds the area they are in. , hit his chair and sat down.

In the lower middle ~IndoMTL.com~ there is only one table, but no chairs, it is for those who make government reports or put forward motions, and all congressmen can look down at the speaker in the middle. This arrangement inexplicably gave these MPs more confidence.

To criticize and point out the mistakes in the government's work, they have already developed a habit in the past few years. Some people have even done their homework and are ready to raise questions on the spot after the speeches of various departments. Last year, several departments The officials were sweating profusely when they were questioned, and even caused a major earthquake in the Ministry of Industry. One servant lost his head, and the other was also implicated. He worked hard until this year and was restored to his original position. The position of Shangshu is still concurrently held by Wu Kai, who is discussing politics.

On one side of the building, a passage connects a row of small rooms. Inside, Jiang Jiaquan is wearing a brand-new official uniform and sitting upright. This is the last time he sums up the gains and losses of a year's government work in front of hundreds of congressmen. up. After delivering this government work report, he will step down as chief minister, and return to the ordinary people from the position of under one person but over ten thousand people. In front of him, Gao Yuan also had a solemn expression.

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and Kou Shuguang walked in, "Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant, you are ready outside."

Gao Yuan stood up, walked to Jiang Jiaquan, gently supported Jiang Jiaquan, "Sir, let's go!" (To be continued...)
