If you mention the famous scenic spots in Western Shu, you have to mention the Great Buddha in Leshan.

Those who have traveled through Leshan Buddha know that there is a garden above the head of Leshan Buddha, called Suyuan.

According to legend, this garden is Su Shi's former residence, but now it has become the villa of the Western Shu of Zhang Dai, the editor-in-chief of the Daming Daily and whose pen name is Fuxing Zhiyue.

When the news of Yang Sichang's death on duty reached Western Shu, it was the time when Zhang Dai celebrated his birthday, and his friend Wei Min'er and other famous scholars from the academic circle were present.

Now that news of Yang Sichang's death came, Zhang Dai expressed his willingness to continue to participate in the election of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

For Zhang Dai, although he has been a student in the Academic Academy of Sciences, what he yearns for is still able to shine the glory of his ancestors, so he hopes to become the chief minister of the cabinet in this way and to reach an unprecedented peak.

Of course, in the current Ming Dynasty, if you want to become the prime minister of the cabinet, you must have your own clear political philosophy, otherwise it will not be enough to convince voters. This is very different from the fact that the prime minister of the cabinet was only looking at fame before.

Therefore, Zhang Dai also has his own political philosophy. He is a scholar and a person in the cultural field. Therefore, his political attention is more focused on education and academic aspects. He rejects the profit-oriented atmosphere and the unhealthy trend of measuring everything by money. It is a clear stream nowadays and has also received the support of many so-called scholars and great scholars.

For example, Wei Min'er, who had a considerable position in the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, announced that she would support Zhang Dai. Behind Wei Min'er, Zhu Ci'e, a son who had just taken office as the governor of Austria, was the seventh son of Zhu Youzhai. Generally, there would be a vote. In addition to other connections between Wei Min'er and Zhu Ci'e, Zhang Dai also had hope.

After his birthday party, he immediately rushed to Chengdu Prefecture and contacted celebrities from all walks of life in Sichuan in Chengdu Prefecture. He also gave passionate speeches at Sichuan University Hall, which has been built for more than ten years.

Zhang Dai is the first public figure to launch a canvassing offensive in the new round of competition between the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

At this time, the French Governor Yang Tinglin, who was also determined to compete for the power of the cabinet chief, was also rushing back to the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of last year, the highway from Paris, France to Dongyuan Prefecture on the Black Sea coast was officially opened, which means that Paris has a national highway that can directly lead to the Chang'an Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty and then directly reach the capital.

Although there is no railway, the distance from Paris to Beijing has indeed been shortened a lot, and Yang Tinglin is also driving his own motorcycle on this highway.

Due to the little rain in Asia Minor, many places are deserts, so Yang Tinglin, who was sitting in the car, could see only the vast yellow sand, which made his eagerness to return to the capital even more urgent.

The locomotive Yang Tinglin was riding a new combustion engine locomotive developed by the Royal Industrial Company of the Ming Dynasty. The energy used was no longer coal, but new energy oil that is gradually being opened. In addition, its shell is still electroplated by the latest electroplating technology. The interior decoration is also excellent. There are no more than 1,000 vehicles in the whole world, but it is indeed cool to drive and the speed is not very bad, especially in this scorching sun, because it is equipped with a cooler, staying in the car will not cause heatstroke.

Yang Tinglin's driver is a high-paid aide hired by the Governor's Office. There are few people who can drive such motorcycles these days, so they can be regarded as a treasure around Yang Tinglin.

The driver knew that his governor was in a hurry to go back to Beijing to canvass the tickets, so he drove the car very quickly.

After all, everyone knows that what you really need to become the prime minister of the cabinet is to get the support of most first-class citizens in the mainland.

Yang Tinglin has always been a person who must be calm when encountering major events. Now, although the canvassing battle is becoming increasingly fierce, he has not shown too much rush. He looked at the landscape along the way leisurely. He found that since the Ming Dynasty occupied the entire Eurasian area, almost these newly occupied areas have changed every day. It has only been less than three years since he was transferred from the capital to France as the governor, but by this time, a dome building could no longer be seen in Asia Minor.

On the way to the capital, you can see signs with Chinese signs everywhere, and white people wearing straight clothes. These people should have obtained the status of imperial citizens, otherwise they would not have beaten a group of ragged people at will. Yang Tinglin's driver told him that these beaten people were all nobles who were once noble, but now they have turned around. These nobles have been slaves of non-citizen status, while the poor white people who were exploited by these nobles have made contributions to helping the Ming army conquer various places and were given third-class citizenship status. Therefore, they can now abuse the people who once abused them.

Yang Tinglin observed the changes in the newly occupied areas from Europa to Asia Minor to the northern part of the desert along the way, and felt more touching in his heart. When he arrived in Lanzhou, he directly started canvassing activities, and Lanzhou University Hall was his first stop.

Yang Tinglin started activities from the northwest, Zhang Dai started activities from the southwest, Zhang Huangyan started activities from the southeast coast, and some cabinet officials moved between the two capitals.

For a moment, the entire Ming Dynasty focused on the popular candidates of these cabinet chief ministers, and he had almost forgotten the existence of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Dynasty, was also happy to go to an unknown small manor in Anji, Huzhou to maintain peace. Although the country does not have a cabinet prime minister now, he will not personally replace the cabinet prime minister to deal with these backlogs of government affairs. These people are eager to fight for a cabinet prime minister. After one of them wins, the first thing they have to face as a prime minister is to deal with the backlog of government affairs.

Fortunately, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Since the 40th year of the Apocalypse, the climate in the entire Ming Dynasty has begun to become stable and gradually recover, so no one can handle daily government affairs for the time being.

What's more, the cabinet assistants helped some of them.

Zhu Youxiao stood up and pushed Lu, who was pressing on his body, and saw Gu Meisheng walking in: "Your Majesty, the result of the election is almost settled. Now, Zhang Dai, the left assistant minister of the school department, and Yang Tinglin, the governor of the Crown Prince and the French governor, are far away from others, but the two have the same votes. Now only the heads of the royal capital such as Meisheng Company, Royal Bank and Royal Industries Company have not invested. Do you think who we invested in?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "These guys really lack experience in political struggle. Besides, this election is really nothing to do with me. I don't know that the votes that really decide the outcome are in my hands. I don't know if I come to curry favor with me earlier. I'll let them teach me a lesson, especially Zhang Dai, who lost to Yang Sichang last time, didn't he know?"
