Yu Guozhen will not stop and wait for those who fall behind. Therefore, those who fall behind must work ten times harder to catch up again.
That¡¯s the case with Huo Yan.
He is only forty years old, but from the outside, he looks like he is fifty or sixty years old. In the twenty years since he became a negative example, the pressure he has endured is unimaginable to outsiders.
A mistake that took him twenty years to make up for.
Standing in front of the Grand Hall, he paused for a long time. Many people who participated in the joint meeting walked in, but he still stopped.
After twenty years of chasing, here we are, finallyI can stop for a moment and look around.
"Huh?"
A familiar voice came from behind him. Huo Yan turned around, looked at Gu Jiaming, who was full of surprise, and smiled.
¡°You haven¡¯t seen me in twenty years. Do you¡don¡¯t recognize me at all?¡±
Gu Jiaming has not changed much, so Huo Yan can recognize him at a glance. Huo Yan's back is familiar to Gu Jiaming, but when he turns his face, he is completely unfamiliar.
Gu Jiaming could not associate the old man in front of him, who almost looked like his father, with the high-spirited Huo Yan. However, Huo Yan's voice has not changed and still carries arrogance, but this arrogance is no longer the frivolity of youth and arrogance, but the kind of self-confidence that naturally arises after countless things.
Over the years, Huo Yan built roads, built houses, dug ponds, and built dams. After he was sure that he would never have the chance to return to the army, he devoted all his talents to studying civil engineering, especially dams. Above water conservancy.
There are a lot of heavy rains in Annan Province. Heavy rains cause disasters and there are many floods. And there is China's large granary, which supplies three-fifths of China's rice every year, as well as other important food resources such as fruits. Therefore, the construction of water conservancy embankments has become a top priority. Huo Yansheng has made great achievements in this industry, and his name has once again entered Yu Guozhen's vision.
So he was appointed as a consultant to the joint meeting and was able to participate in this meeting.
"Huo"
"Huo Gaizhi." Huo Yan extended his hand to Gu Jiaming.
He changed his name because the name Huo Yan was too famous. In order to avoid some trouble, he had to change his name to "change it".
"Change it, change it!"
Gu Jiaming immediately understood the meaning of this name.
No wonder I didn¡¯t know any news about Huo Yan since then. It turns out that he has changed his name.
"In other words, haha, I'm really happy to see you here." Gu Jiaming came up and patted him on the shoulder.
The two hugged each other warmly, just like when they were in school together.
"What are you waiting for here? The meeting will begin soon. Do you mean to ask His Majesty to wait for you?"
At this moment, Ye Wuya's voice sounded. Both of them had served under Ye Wuya. Although Gu Jiaming's position was not lower than that of Ye Wuya now, they still looked solemn when they heard his voice.
Ye Wuya had a gloomy face and walked past the two of them. He only paused for a moment in front of Huo Yan and nodded to show that he recognized Huo Yan's appearance and even twitched his face.
After he left, Gu Jiaming patted his forehead and said, "No way, am I too tired and delusional recently? Just now Ye Crow actually laughed?"
"If that counts as a laugh"
The two of them walked into the Grand Hall side by side and quickly found their seats and took their seats. They were far apart, but they felt that they had never been so close.
??For a common goal, we are far apart, but we are still close to each other.
Just as Gu Jiaming was wondering whether to say a few words to Huo Yan, suddenly there was a commotion behind him. Gu Jiaming turned around and saw more than ten women walking in.
The first person to take the lead was Queen Fang Ziyi. After Fang Ziyi, there was Song Siyi dressed as a Taoist nun. After Song Siyi, Gu Jiaming's eyes widened.
It¡¯s his wife Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying is now the deputy director of the Ministry of Medicine and Health, equivalent to the minister in the past. This title is not low at all. But her appearance here still surprised Gu Jiaming: I had never heard that she would come here.
Could it be that
An idea came to mind, and Gu Jiaming couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
Even though the status of women in the Chinese Dynasty has been greatly improved, the traditional concept of male superiority and female inferiority is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A place like the Grand Hall is the most important political place, how can they be allowed to appear here?
Except Zhao ?Besides, there are many women, but the only one related to Yu Guozhen is Fang Ziyi. Fang Ziyi led these women and slowly walked into a corner of the venue, which was separated from the surroundings by a screen. At this time, the first arrived people suddenly realized.
"Whatwhat's going on, women also do government affairs?"
Behind Gu Jiaming, someone asked in surprise.
Gu Jiaming looked back and did not recognize this person who used to be dressed as a Confucian scholar. Before Gu Jiaming could say anything, someone laughed and said, "Even the old Confucian scholars who oppose today's society can come here, why can't these women come here.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???? Out out of the dozen or so women who are following behind her is that she doesn¡¯t have outstanding meritorious service, and has made great contributions to the country and the people? Speaking of whichwhat merits do you have, do you dare to receive the incense from this place? "
"The one who can say such things is none other than Tian Boguang. Gu Jiaming stood up and wanted to greet him, but Tian Boguang waved his hand to indicate not to be polite.
"Thisthis" The Confucian scholar blushed, and then murmured: "Mr. Fang Mizhi recommended me"
"Ah, then you must be Wang Rinong. Sure enough, if you are Wang Rinong, you are qualified to be here. Haha, all Confucian schools in the world will admire Fang Mizhi and you."
Wang Ernong is Wang Fuzhi. Over the years, he has been Fang Yizhi's assistant, helping him organize hundreds of classics, pushing Confucianism from the time of Confucius to the Zhouyi, and using the Zhouyi as the source to derive Confucian social ethics and laws. Hundreds of disciplines, such as the jurisprudence of the Han Dynasty, the natural science of the Taoists, the mechanics of the Mohists, and the logic of the famous masters, etc., explain their relationship with the "Yi", and finally synthesize the hundreds of schools of thought to form practical science. In other words, what Fang Yizhi and Wang Fuzhi did in theorizing the experiences and lessons of the Huaxia Dynasty made it easier to implement the policies of the Huaxia Dynasty, and at the same time, the divisions among the old Confucian students became very fierce, and the vast majority of the old Confucian students began to Looking beyond the Four Books and Five Classics to the works of other scholars, there are even terms such as "the first hundred schools" and the "second hundred schools" - the first hundred schools of course are from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the latter hundred schools are now. Scholars from various schools emerged.
The great emancipation of ideas has promoted great social progress, so even for women to participate in joint meetings, except for a few conservatives like Wang Fuzhi, everyone else thinks it is natural. These women can sit in the grand meeting hall of the Grand Hall. Their efforts and achievements are enough to surpass the vast majority of men in the world!
Fang Ziyi¡¯s early arrival means that Yu Guozhen is also coming. Not long after the girls took their seats, Yu Guozhen appeared at the gate. As he arrived, everyone stood up one after another, either giving a military salute or bowing. Yu Guozhen waved in return and walked straight to the front of the conference stage.
Looking at Yu Guozhen's still young face, Tian Boguang clicked his tongue twice: "I don't understand how your majesty maintains it. Why is he still in his twenties when he is already in his forties? It makes people envious and jealous. If I have With such a skill, wouldn't all the famous ladies in the major brothels fall in love with him?"
Till now, Tian Boguang still hasn¡¯t got married. He has a very high position and many of his matchmakers are Fang Ziyi. They all personally asked about the matter, but Tian Boguang didn¡¯t take it seriously and declined them all.
Even Yu Guozhen has nothing to do with him on this issue.
"Old Tian, ??you have a big mouth again, be careful I will sue you." Gu Jiaming joked: "When the time comes, His Majesty will probably give you an order. Tian Boguang ordered you to find a wife to get married within a year, otherwise it will be completely I will give you your job and let you go to the Imperial Palace in Yanjing as an assistant to the curator!"
The director of the Imperial Palace in Yanjing is not only Zhu Youjian, but his assistant is naturally the loyal eunuch Wang Chengen. Wang Cheng'en is probably the only person who still calls Zhu Youjian "Long Live Lord". Some people also reported it to Yu Guozhen. Yu Guozhen sent the person who reported the information directly to Toad Island to raise the newly introduced alpacas. .
"Jia Ming, if you have the guts, I will tell your wife that you went to a brothel with me." Tian Boguang sneered: "The blade in your wife's hand can not only cut people's appendix, hahahaha .¡±
Gu Jiaming shook his head and argued with this guy. He was still a little behind.
However, when Yu Guozhen sat down at the main table and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down, Gu Jiaming and Tian Boguang both sat upright in the most standard military posture, waiting for Yu Guozhen's speech.
Looking at the more than 700 attendees below, Yu Guozhen felt a sense of accomplishment.
When the first joint meeting was held eight years ago, people thought that the meeting was just a stop-gap measure for him. But eight years later, joint meetings every four years have proven that he will stick to this system.
And starting from this year, this system will be truly improved: how to confirm the identity of all joint meeting discussions, this is the key issue this time.?? a key question.
Therefore, the first thing he did was talk about this.
"Most of the people gathered in the hall today are heroes of my time in China. Everyone present, whether they are celebrities who are over seventy years old or rookies in their early twenties, regardless of men and women, regardless of morals, whether they support me or oppose me, all are here for me. The people and country of China have made many meritorious achievements. Therefore, I invite you all to come here to discuss the affairs of the country, in the hope that your strength will be combined with mine, so that China can be more prosperous!"
"Over the years, I have been thinking about what the road to governing the country is. When this conference building was built this year, I was asked what to name it, and I thought of the name 'Grand Hall', which means the road to governance. The world is for the common good, and the way to govern the country lies in this."
"This is a clich¨¦, but today I want to say something different from others." Yu Guozhen smiled slightly: "Some people will say in their hearts, you Yu say that the world is for the common good, but the most profitable business in the world belongs to you Yu In your hands, why don¡¯t you use it to enrich the public treasury? I am announcing here today that our Yu family¡¯s most profitable industry, Huaxia Steel, will gradually be handed over to the public treasury!¡±
As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet venue suddenly became a little commotion.
(I hope the people in the earthquake-stricken areas are safe, and I hope the soldiers, doctors, police and ordinary people on the front line of disaster relief are also safe.) To be continued
