Chapter 711 This is a big move.
Gongsun Erniang replied: "One hundred and twenty people, from all over the country."
Ye Kun asked again: "Are there any representatives from Yunmian, Xiqiang, Jiaozhi, Western Regions, Donghua Peninsula, Donghua Changdao, Northern Grasslands, Yizhou Island, etc.?"
Gongsun Erniang shook her head: "It's too far. It's too late."
"Then let's hold the meeting first. After the meeting, we will send working groups to various places to start work."
Ye Kun called Huang Ye and said, "Go and inform the Grand Theater to lend me the third small theater. I need to hold a meeting for a few days."
Huang Ye took the order and went to do it personally.
Ye Kun also called Gongsun Erniang and others to go to the imperial study to discuss and preliminarily formulate the purpose of the Mohist Alliance and the work goals for the next three years.
Prince Ye Feng was listening on the side.
Ye Kun first said: "If the Mohist Alliance wants to grow, it must have a purpose, which is short and powerful and can unite the people of the world. Everyone, think about it, what slogan is best?"
Gongsun Erniang smiled and said, "Of course it is 'Love all and do not attack'."
Everyone nodded together.
"No, it's too simple, and it doesn't reflect the intention of serving the people wholeheartedly." Ye Kun rejected this proposal and said:
"The Mohists also have a slogan, 'Eliminate the harm of the world and promote the benefits of the world.' Let's use 'Promote the benefits and eliminate the harm, and the great way is for the public' as our slogan. Do you think it will work?"
After discussing it, everyone thought this was the best and nodded unanimously.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "After the slogan and purpose are decided, we can discuss the specific rules of the Mohist Alliance Conference. Everyone should speak up and try to consider everything."
Everyone started a heated discussion.
Prince Ye Feng was dozing off on the side.
Ye Kun glared and said, "Feng'er, listen carefully. I will test you again later."
Ye Feng rubbed his eyes and cheered himself up.
An hour later, the charter of the meeting was briefly agreed upon and Gongsun Erniang and others said goodbye.
Ye Kun ordered a cup of strong tea and asked Ye Feng: "Do you know the purpose of my forming the Mohist Alliance?"
Ye Feng pondered and said, "Father's move is to promote the Mohist school and carry forward the Mohist culture."
"You are so childish."
Ye Kun shook his head and sighed, "I formed the Mohist Alliance for the future of the Chinese people. You can also say that it is for you to be able to sit firmly on the throne in the future."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Father is right. The disciples of the Mohist School have indeed done a lot for the court and have been of great help to us."
"You still don't understand. You've only scratched the surface."
Ye Kun put down his teacup and asked, "Why did the Dading Dynasty abolish all schools of thought and only promote Confucianism?"
Ye Feng woke up and replied:
"My father explained this in the university textbook. It is to control people's hearts and maintain the rule of the court. Because Confucianism emphasizes the order of respect and inferiority, the emperor is the emperor, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son. If people accept Confucian ideas, they will naturally be loyal to the emperor and love the country."
Ye Kun asked again: "Then do you think that the system of the monarch and the ministers is useful for the court to govern the country?"
"Of course it was useful, so the Da Ding Dynasty lasted for four hundred years."
"But why did the Da Ding Dynasty fall? Why did the princes split up and no one took the Da Ding Emperor seriously in the end?"
"This..." Ye Feng hesitated for a moment: "It should be that people's hearts are no longer the same as before, and the world is going downhill."
"Kid, you are still naive and take things for granted."
Ye Kun chuckled: "Great principles are for others to hear. Controlling the world does not rely on great principles, but on powerful military force. For example, now, some people can speak great principles better than me, can they replace me as emperor?"
Ye Feng shook his head: "Definitely not, because the control of the imperial army and the latest guns and cannons are all in the hands of the emperor."
"now it's right."
Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "To control the world, there are three aspects. The first is the civil officials, the local government; the second is the military officials, the generals in various places; the third is the people's hearts.
I formed the Mohist Alliance to rally people's hearts and ensure the long-term stability of the Chinese continent."
That night, Ye Kun talked a lot with his son.
Ye Feng was so delighted after hearing this that he lost all desire to sleep and felt that he had learned a unique secret.
Ye Kun looked at the time and said, "Governing the country and controlling the civil and military officials is a very profound subject. Go to sleep first and come back tomorrow. Follow me and watch and listen more."
"Father, you should also go to bed early."
Ye Feng bowed and took his leave.
Two days later, the Mohist Alliance Conference was held.
Ye Kun, Gongsun Erniang and others spoke one after another and then started a discussion.
The conference was quite formal and lasted for three days. A clear and specific charter was formulated - to promote benefits and eliminate harm, to serve the public, to develop science and technology, and to benefit mankind.
Based on the current regional divisions, Ye Kun set up Mohist leaders in various places and asked them to continue to develop Mohist disciples.
At the same time, Ye Kun also used the Ministry of Personnel and the grassroots to secretly support Mohist disciples to serve as grassroots officials, and even middle and high-level officials and military generals.
Capable personnel were also sent from the Western Regions, Western Qiang, Liaodong, Yunnan and Myanmar, the northern prairie, Donghua Peninsula, Donghua Changdao, Jiaozhi Peninsula, Yizhou Island and other places to carry out work.
Ye Kun and others also spent a lot of money out of their own pocket as activity funds.
He Tiantian, Pang Jia, Sun Yi and others all gave their all to help.
Not only that, Ye Kun also gave up half of his shares in the daily chemical department store business, which was considered an asset of the Mohist Alliance, and the profits were used for expenses.
After we settled the matters here, the National People's Congress was also convened.
In the Grand Theater, Ye Kun gave a report on the territorial expansion of the Han Dynasty, and Sang Buyi gave a report on production development.
The next day, everyone went to the Science and Technology City to see the latest scientific research results.
On the third day, the meeting continued to discuss proposals from various places.
The conference lasted for sixteen days and was very successful.
Ye Kun divided the Chinese mainland, including the northern prairie, Jizui Peninsula, Fuso Long Island, Izu Island, and Jiaozhi Peninsula, into 42 provinces.
Each province has a governor-general to manage government affairs and a general to manage military affairs.
The governor and the general cooperate with each other and also check and balance each other.
The five major capitals were all provinces and directly managed by the imperial court.
Below the province, there is a county-level government, below which are the county-level government, township-level government, and village-level institutions.
This time's personnel changes and regional divisions are huge.
Ye Kun took the opportunity to replace many old guys and arranged for capable Mohists to take over.
Among grassroots officials, the proportion of Mohists is even higher.
In order to adapt to the current environment, Ye Kun also specially set up the Governor of the Western Regions, the Governor of Jiangdong, the Governor of Jiaozhi, the Governor of Donghua Changdao and the Governor of Tianzhu to facilitate the strengthening of China's peripheral control.
This was a major global move involving too many things. Ye Kun, Sang Buyi and others were busy until the end of the year, but still hadn't gotten it done.
After the Spring Festival, Ye Kun continued to urge everyone to complete the regional division work in various places as soon as possible.
Huang Ye came to report that it was Xiao Dequan who wanted to see him.
At that time, Xiao Dequan was in charge of the affairs of Izuo Island, mainly two-way immigration, education and construction of Izuo Island, etc.
In a blink of an eye, more than three years have passed.
Ye Kun summoned Xiao Dequan and said with a smile: "It has been more than three years since King Wu went to Yizhou Island. Are you tired there?"
