Qiming 1158

Chapter 899 His life should be very meaningful
After finishing one thing, Su Yonglin asked him if he had other things, and if other surrounding villages had heard of similar things, etc.

Su Yonglin hopes to get more different news from an ordinary farmer.

The farmer said a lot, and at Su Yonglin's request, the secretary also recorded a lot.

Su Yonglin also learned from the perspective of an ordinary peasant what kind of changes the peasant association system has brought to him and his villagers, and in their opinion, the existence of peasant associations is more harmful than harmful. The benefits, or the pros outweigh the cons.

After asking all the questions, record what he said on the record, and only one questioning can be regarded as understanding.

After finishing a formal inquiry, Su Yonglin felt that he had benefited a lot. At the same time, he also felt that when he formulated policies in the past, there were a lot of inconsiderations that really needed to be corrected.

Some policies are indeed launched in a hurry, without any other impact, and they will be launched first. Although doing so integrates grassroots forces and generally establishes the foundation of his political power, it also magnifies the shortcomings of this policy in some areas. The people caused suffering.

This is not what a good politician should do.

From morning to night, except for a one-hour break for lunch, Su Yonglin spent the whole day in the public consultation room to meet visitors, talk to them, and ask them many things about the country.

It was not until the sun went down and the sky darkened that the whole day of reception and inquiries was over.

After all the visitors had left, Su Yonglin organized a short meeting for the Fuxing members in the public opinion consultation room, and did not let them go home for dinner immediately.

What he has to say is important.

"As we all know, our Revival Society was born out of the people. You used to be ordinary people. You broke the shackles on your body and gained a new life, so you became a member of the Revival Society.

Your destiny has been changed, and you should know that you are from the people. After you become a member of the revival, it does not mean that you are separated from the people. You need to take the initiative to go back and return to the people with your mission and knowledge.

You need to listen to their voices and ask their needs. All our policies are on them. If they are satisfied, we will have a good life. If they are not satisfied, we will have difficulty. If they are angry, we will Done.

The government often lags behind when it does things, and it is difficult for the government to foresee some things. This requires the Renaissance as the mouthpiece of the people, telling the government the voice of the people, supervising the government, so that the government can adjust the policy in time. unsuitable place. "

With that said, Su Yonglin held up all the documents recorded by his secretary today, and flipped through it for a while.

"Just like today, it's not just you, I feel like it's the first time I know that so many people are dissatisfied with our policies, and the relationship between the president of the peasant association and the instructor alone occupies a lot of space.

I looked and saw that there are peasant association presidents who pretend to be instructors and push the peasants to crowd out the instructors, some instructors take over power and take the peasant associations as empty shelves, and there are peasant association presidents and instructors who compete for power and force the peasants to stand in line of.

Seeing the big from the small, this kind of thing can happen in a small village with only a few hundred people. Those who don't know it think it's his mother's past emperor and prime minister fighting for power!The struggle is for the authority of the world!

These are things we haven't paid attention to before. We never imagined that after a policy is issued, there will be so many different reactions in different places, some of which are running smoothly and some that fail. So, where is the problem? ?
This is our problem. We should do more research, conduct on-the-spot investigations, and synthesize the opinions of the people before we can come to the correct conclusion, instead of sitting in a meeting in the room and saying some meaningless and empty clichés. "

Su Yonglin put down the document in his hand, walked to the center of the hall, and looked around at all the Renaissance members who were watching him.

"There is probably no pure good or bad in a policy. We can't think it's a good policy because the peasant association policy has organized farmers and increased grain production, nor can we think it's a good policy because the chairman and the instructor are at odds. is a bad policy.

In this case, how should we judge the significance of this policy to the Ming Dynasty?Very simply, through the public opinion consultation room, that is, through the real feedback of the people, let us know whether our policies are running well or not, where is the good and where is the bad.

Feedback from the public and records of data are important indicators for us to evaluate whether a policy has more positive effects than negative effects, or whether the negative effects are greater than the positive effects. We must clarify a thought, that is, relying closely on the people and never detaching from the people .

There are so many dynasties and empires that prospered throughout the ages, they prospered so much when they prospered, and they declined so much when they declined. What is the reason?It's here, I think, right in the public consultation room at our feet.

The founding emperors often conquered the world, traveled all over the world, were well-informed, and were well versed in the administrative malpractices of officials. Faced with problems, they would resolutely adjust their policies so as not to cause the people to suffer too much. However, the later emperors lived in deep palaces and did not know the people. Suffering, cut off from the people.

After isolating the people, he became blind, deaf, and didn't even know common sense, so there was no such thing as an ancient joke of not eating minced meat. This is the case with the emperor, and the same is true for officials. .

In the end, the dynasty was completely unable to correct its own mistakes. The people couldn't bear it anymore, and they rose up to overthrow them. Isn't that how the Ming Kingdom was established?And if the emperors and officials of the Ming Kingdom are also separated from the people, then sooner or later, the Ming Kingdom will also follow the footsteps of the Jin Kingdom. "

The last sentence, Su Yonglin slowly finished word by word.

Every word was like a hammer, hitting the hearts of the people around him one by one.

Perhaps there will never be an emperor who publicly expresses such remarks to his courtiers or even the people, but Su Yonglin will do it.

He doesn't shy away, he treats each other frankly, he tells everyone with all that he has, and he doesn't hide his secrets.

For him, hiding is ridiculous and meaningless.

"The public opinion consultation room will be the key to Daming's strength and maintenance. As long as the public opinion consultation room can still operate normally, the Daming kingdom will never be in danger of overturning, but if the public opinion consultation room becomes superficial and useless. It makes sense, and the kingdom of Ming Dynasty is not far from its demise."

After Su Yonglin finished speaking, he smiled slightly.

"This is what I feel today, you can think about it, starting tomorrow, I will definitely come in the middle and end of each month, and I will also come to inspect from time to time at other times. I hope you will do your best and take it seriously. the voice of the people."

At the end of the day's work, Su Yonglin returned to the palace, leaving the people here to recall the words of the emperor and everything they had experienced today.

There is no doubt that the experience of this day will leave an indelible mark on their hearts.

And this mark will also ripple in their hearts, urging them to do something right.

Although he didn't know how many injustices still needed to be resolved in the whole country, and how much trouble his policies had caused people in various places, Su Yonglin still started to adjust himself.

The thought of taking a break was gone, and he finally realized that whether he was an emperor of the old era or a pioneer of the new era, he was working hard.

From the moment he decided to embark on this path, he was destined to have nothing to do with the kind of life he once thought of as a mess and a life like a young man.

Sometimes, while dealing with the tiring of government affairs, he would also hold his cheeks and reminisce about his past.

He will remember that he didn't want to do all this from the beginning. He used to indulge in the rich and luxurious life of a scholar-official family in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, he only wanted to get a job title, become an official, clean up his identity, make more money, take more concubines, and enjoy a more luxurious life.

Surrounded by women, completely degraded by the erosion of money, enjoy the prosperity of the world, and then die happily by the West Lake.

What kind of bliss on earth would that be?

He doesn't deny what he once thought.

Therefore, in the preface to the first volume of the newly edited "Hongwu Political Theory", he clearly wrote his own thoughts and did not hide them.

However, at this moment, he felt that he was very ridiculous at that time, and that if he lived his life like that, he would feel very shameful and ashamed.

Although there are no wives and concubines, and life is not luxurious, he feels that he is very satisfied and very happy, and is glad that he can get out of the state he used to be.

If he can spend his life like this, fighting to the death on the road of solving problems and creating the future, then he feels that his life should be very meaningful.

So, how can we stop here?

Go on, go as far as you can, no matter the rain or the wind.
