On the last day of June, the Legislative Council Building, the first main building in Jinan City, was officially put into use.
Although this building only has two floors, it is the first reinforced concrete building in the world.
The completely different architectural style and appearance attracted countless curious eyes as soon as it appeared, and it became a unique focus in Jinan City.
With the completion of the Legislative Council Building, the all-important Legislative Council General Assembly was officially convened.
On this day, legislative representatives from all over the country gathered in Jinan, which immediately restored vitality to this war-torn city.
"Haha, brother Shen Yu, I heard that you were very successful in the army and rose through the ranks. I didn't expect that you actually became a representative."
During the general meeting, it is also a good time to meet old friends.
Zuo Maodi hugged Shen Xun and kept looking at his friend's appearance.
They haven't seen each other for more than two years.
When we met again this time, we all felt something different from each other.
Today, Shen Xun is wearing a military uniform, and the badge is shining brightly in the sun, which makes him even more heroic and outstanding.
"I can't compare with you. Now you are already a prince with a high and powerful position. Without your support, we wouldn't even be able to eat."
Zuo Maodi has no modesty.
"Isn't it easy to eat? Let me tell you, from now on, I dare not say anything else. Fish and meat are enough."
Speaking of his political achievements, Zuo Maodi beamed.
Nowadays, Anshan Lake Fishery Company has expanded several times, and its business scope has extended from the original Anshan Lake all the way south to Weishan Lake, where it has established dozens of fishery breeding bases.
One month's output alone is hundreds of thousands of kilograms.
Nowadays, in the Shandong market, due to the existence of Anshan Lake Fishery Company and Qingdao Fishery Company, the price of aquatic products has been falling, and even the poorest people can afford it.
In addition to the joy of meeting old friends like Zuo Maodi and Shen Xun, there are also many people who come from afar, who are both anxious and honored.
"Minister Xu, can we really propose decisions at this meeting?"
The speaker was Wang Mengzhen from Zichuan.
This former Zhejiang Provincial Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty is now the chairman of Zichuan Hengjie Sanitary Ware Company.
This time he became a representative of the Legislative Council as a private businessman.
As for the charter of this Legislative Congress, Wang Mengzhen had already read it several times on the way here, but he was still hesitant and confused.
This was a political system he had never seen before, which made him a little nervous.
The only person who could ask for advice was naturally Xu Yingyuan.
Like him, Xu Yingyuan is also a representative of the Legislative Council.
"The Legislative Council is our highest decision-making body in Shandong. As representatives, we have the right to raise any opinions we have. This is our responsibility and it is also for the better construction of Shandong."
With Xu Yingyuan's guarantee, Wang Mengzhen was finally not so nervous.
Looking at the countless representatives of the Legislative Council gathered from all directions, he looked forward to it and couldn't wait for the convening of the conference.
The area near the Legislative Council Building has been completely taken over by the New Army, ensuring complete safety.
It is impossible for anyone to get close without a pass.
Only the representatives walked into it, in groups of three or five, talking loudly about the upcoming meeting.
Zuo Mengeng has been looking forward to this conference for a long time and is very excited.
In front of the bright and clean floor-length mirror, Xu Ruolin personally helped him put on his uniform.
Seeing her husband's unparalleled appearance, Xu Ruolin was extremely proud.
"You are in the spotlight today, so don't stretch your hips."
Zuo Mengeng laughed heartily, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his wife, and pressed a kiss on her lips.
"Everyone else hopes that their husbands will be wise and stalwart and make great achievements, but you want to see me make a fool of myself."
Liu Rushi was standing next to her. Xu Ruolin couldn't help but blush at her husband's behavior.
"Which leader is as frivolous as you?"
Zuo Mengeng glanced at Liu Rushi.
"There is no other girl in the family who is so ignorant."
Liu Rushi felt a false fire rushing straight into his head, and he didn't care about his superiority or inferiority.
"A gentleman observes etiquette and etiquette. Commander, do you ever know that?"
Zuo Mengeng rolled his eyes and said jokingly: "I heard that Chen Zilong has arrived. Don't you want to meet our Secretary Liu?"
Liu Rushi turned into a ripe prawn in an instant, turned around and ran away, too embarrassed to see anyone.
Xu Ruolin couldn't help but chuckle and asked softly: "Why don't you wear a military uniform on such an important occasion today?"
Zuo Mengeng became serious.
"I am both a military leader and a political leader. Today is a critical moment in the construction of political power. Wearing a military uniform will make people think of it."
Throughout the ages, warlords and vassal towns have always been belittled and vigilant.
No regime wants its leader to be a pure soldier.
Zuo Menggeng was well aware of this and was afraid that Shandong would take the path of military theory, so he chose a compromise attire.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, more than a thousand representatives from all over the country entered the newly constructed auditorium of the Legislative Council Building and took their seats, looking at everything here curiously.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!!!"
Following the chief of ceremonies' shout, the representatives in the front row stood up one after another, followed by some representatives who didn't know why.
The door of the auditorium was divided to the left and right, and eight strong and capable guards in military uniforms went first, then lined up on the left and right, and walked in surrounded by Zuo Menggengkuo.
Beside him, on the left is Huang Zongxi in military uniform, and on the right is Hou Xun in long Confucian robes.
Everyone saw this scene, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.
At the same time, I also had a preliminary understanding of the new regime.
There is no doubt that Zuo Menggeng is a well-deserved leader.
Huang Zongxi, who is dressed in military uniform, represents the military, while Hou Xun, who is wearing a Confucian robe, represents the political world.
Zuo Mengeng is wearing a new uniform again.
The three top leaders, three different outfits, also represent three attitudes.
This is Shandong today, a blend of old and new, east and west. It does not reject old traditions, but can also accept new trends.
Even the representatives attending the meeting were equally diverse and each had their own style.
Elegant scholars, strong soldiers, hard-working farmers, simple craftsmen, wealthy businessmen, blond outsiders, and women who blend in naturally, all gathered together.
But no one thought this scene was strange, and no one was disgusted by it, as if everything should be like this.
As Zuo Mengeng and the other three entered the room, there was a wave of applause, and everyone was excited.
Everyone knows that this conference represents the arrival of a new era.
And these people are the driving forces in creating a new era.
No matter how many years pass in the future, their traces will be left on the glorious history.
This honor, except for the current new regime, will no longer allow them to shine.
These representatives of the Legislative Council understand the significance and will cherish it all the more.
Thousands of people hold this mentality, and there is no reason why the first plenary session of the Legislative Council will not be successful.
