My life skills in Daming Liver

At this time, the city of Nanjing was very lively. This year was another imperial examination year. Scholars from all over the southeast who could participate in the imperial examination gathered in Nanjing to prepare for this year's imperial examination.

However, the imperial examination is not the most important thing. This year is also the year when the Constitutional Convention is held.

Three years have passed since the conclusion of the last Constituent Assembly. A lot has happened in these three years. The territory of the southeast has more than doubled. Annan and North Korea surrendered, and Nanyang surrendered. The entire country is completely different.

Newspapers have reported endlessly on the importance of this Constitutional Convention. Ordinary people can only discuss the issues of formulating a constitution and establishing constitutional government in broad terms. These are matters discussed by adults and representatives of the Constitutional Convention.

The most hotly discussed topic among people in the Southeast is the issue of the country’s title.

Everyone realized that reunification was imminent, and it was no longer appropriate to continue to call Southeast China.

The name of the new country has become the most heated issue in the entire southeast. The Metropolitan Government has also issued a notice that the name of the newly established country will be decided through this constitutional meeting.

The delegates to the Constitutional Convention who set out for Nanjing gathered in Nanjing with various national titles proposed by their fellow citizens.

The Crystal Palace was the venue where the last Constitutional Convention was held. After the first exposition, some machinery representing the scientific and technological achievements of the Southeast were also displayed here. It was obvious that the government had no intention of moving these machines out. The representatives of the Constitutional Convention were about to negotiate with The machines met together.

Danyun came from Guangxi and returned to the Li Mansion after a long absence.

Today, the Li Mansion is even more lively. Not only Danyun, Li Yangong's wife, has returned to the Li Mansion, but Mrs. Li, the Duke of Guizhou's wife who returned to Nanjing from Yunnan, also came to the Li Mansion with Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Guizhou. Visiting relatives.

Danyun remembered that her husband once said that the Mrs. Li of the Duke of Guizhou was a branch of the Li family in Linhuai. When the Mu family returned to Nanjing from Yunnan, her father-in-law Li Tingzhu personally went to Yunnan to pick her back up. Because of this matter, his father-in-law Li Tingzhu He also received awards from the government.

However, there is no longer the Duke of Guizhou. Linhuai Marquis Li's Mansion has also taken over the title of the Marquis. Su Ze, the Governor, has also stated many times that the new court has no intention of canonizing nobles. Even the founders of the new dynasty do not have titles. , there is no need to think about these "remnants" of the previous dynasty.

But regarding the current situation, father-in-law Li Tingzhu is not dissatisfied at all. It is a great gift that the entire southeastern government has not liquidated the Li family. It is even more blessed by his ancestors that his son and daughter-in-law can be reused by the governor Su Ze. .

Li Tingzhu was very satisfied with Danyun as his daughter-in-law, but the old Linhuai Marquis still rarely showed his pride directly and would only show his pride in front of relatives.

Mrs. Li from the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion returned to Nanjing with a very complicated mood.

Nanjing is where she grew up, and later she married in Yunnan, where she spent most of her life.

However, compared to his childhood and girlhood in Nanjing, the intrigues in the Duke's mansion in Yunnan and Guizhou are more disturbing.

Now that she can take her grandson Mu Changzuo back to Nanjing, Mrs. Li was originally very nervous.

But after returning to Nanjing, the Grand Governor Su Ze personally visited the Mu family and wrote a plaque saying "The Mu family of Yunnan is the pillar of the sky" as a summary of the Mu family's contribution to guarding Yunnan for two hundred years. A final conclusion was made.

Su Ze personally gave him a mansion and hired Mu Changzuo to serve as a consultant to a consulting group related to Yunnan affairs. This consultant was not just a pretense. Su Ze also personally summoned Mu Changzuo several times and invited him to attend cabinet meetings to discuss some peace issues. Yunnan-related issues.

At the same time, Mu Changzuo was also elected as a representative of Yunnan's Constitutional Convention, and he will also participate in the Constitutional Convention this time.

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with her current life. In her days as the Duke of Yunnan and Guizhou, she was the king of the southwestern frontier. However, the Mu family also shed a lot of blood and fought many battles for the southwestern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Li Her father-in-law, husband, and sons all fought on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestral hall was filled with those who died in the battle of the Mu family.

Moreover, no matter how dominant the country is in Yunnan, it is still not as good as Nanjing.

Today's Nanjing is completely different.

Mrs. Li also told Li Tingzhu that the life of an ordinary worker in Nanjing was even better than their life in the Duke's Palace of Guizhou, Yunnan.

Li Tingzhu also nodded. Clocks, soap, matches, comfortable public carriages, railways, and ferries were all things that princes like them could not enjoy back then, but now ordinary people in Nanjing can enjoy them.

The various delicacies in Nanjing are more delicious than those cooked by the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, and the wine is more mellow than the wine given by the emperor.

The clothes on my body are also comfortable and warm. In winter, the furnace and glass windows in my home keep me warm and comfortable. Even the palace in the old days could not enjoy these things.

Not to mention railways as a means of transportation, which were unimaginable in previous myths.

Danyun did not expect that relatives would come to the house. After entering the house, she immediately met Mrs. Li who was teasing her son.

Mu Changzuo, who followed Li Taijun, quickly saluted Danyun. Danyun did not expect that she suddenly became the aunt of the former Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan.

Father-in-law Li Tingzhu was still the same, serious and old-fashioned, and he said to Mu Changzuo:

"Dan Yun is back just now. She has participated in the Constituent Assembly. It just so happens that Chang Zuo just talked about how to participate in the Constituent Assembly and is a little worried. Please trouble Dan Yun and explain it to him."

Danyun took her son and said quickly: "Dad, this is nothing to worry about. We are all a family, and the Constitutional Convention does not have so many rules. In this case, I will talk to Mu, Representative Mu. "

Mu Changzuo was older than him, so it was too embarrassing to call him nephew, so Danyun simply used the title instead.

Mu Changzuo immediately acted like he was listening.

Danyun said:

"Actually, the Constitutional Convention in the Crystal Palace is not much different from the Constitutional Conventions in various provinces. The opening ceremony is presided over by the Grand Governor himself, and then the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Mr. Xu, summarizes the work of the past three years. This is a fixed opening ceremony."

“Then it’s time for group discussions. Each representative needs to discuss the proposal in the group in his or her province first. They must first pass the provincial discussion level, and only after passing it can they submit it as a formal proposal to the Constituent Assembly. for discussion and voting.”

Danyun said with a smile: "This is also the time when the discussion is the most 'intense', and it is also the time when newspapers say that the Constitutional Convention is all over the place."
