Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 3 New Atmosphere
Part 3 Sweep** Chapter 2 Iron Horse Glacier Section 3 New Atmosphere
The debate over the attack by the Japanese pirates continued until Wufeng returned to Beijing. The issue of speeding up the construction of the navy to ensure the sovereignty of the empire's sea areas has even reached a consensus in the Imperial Senate and the Citizens' Chamber. They are going to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to return to Beijing. The court will jointly sign and propose that many representatives of the Civic Council have even asked the Ministry of the Interior of the Empire to strengthen the management of foreigners in the Jiangnan and East China Sea coastal areas, especially the monitoring of the Japanese in the Tang Dynasty, so as to prevent these Japanese from stealing information and causing chaos in the empire. .
This is Wufeng's first visit to court after returning to the imperial capital from Jiangnan. Although Wufeng is always reporting important government affairs to Wufeng who is staying in Jiangnan, many tedious matters are slowly left behind, saying they are tedious matters. But most of the things that can really be discussed in the court affairs are matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood of a place, and they should not be ignored at all. It can be said that the court affairs that have been accumulated for several months need to be discussed one by one on this day. Wufeng also knows that today must be an extremely hard day, but if he just returns to the imperial capital, if he doesn't make out with Jiu Kuang's concubines, it will be fine. Unreasonable, especially the pregnant Queen Angel.
One night and one night, Wufeng is Longwei Dasheng, Lianyu Seven Daughters, the noble concubine Situ Yutang and Lin Yuexin, who is still breastfeeding, have **** in bed for the second time, and Angel is also holding on The body pleases the lord, and they parted happily overnight. The Sanyang Zhenqi has reached the state of refining Qi and transforming into a god. It has no effect on Wufeng's spirit. On the contrary, it is more energetic. The Sanyang Zhenqi gradually appeared at this time Take advantage of it.
It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is in a very good mood, and he handles court affairs with ease. It was almost a decision, even Xiao Tang and Bo Jinchen were overjoyed at Wufeng's performance after returning from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Xiao Tang did a good job in the disaster relief in the north. The Government Affairs Council went all out to avoid the disorderly flow of refugees as much as possible. The Overwatch Council must strictly investigate and deal with the refugees, without mercy! Linghuyi, you can send your supervisors to the bottom to understand the people's situation, don't sit in the city all day and listen to those officials boasting. If There is evidence to prove that their work is not effective, and I tell you, you are also inseparable!" Although his attitude is kind, Wufeng's tone of voice is extremely cold, and the first thing Wufeng does when he returns to the imperial capital is to understand the disaster relief in the north. In this situation, even after being happy with Angel, the two embraced each other and fell asleep. Wufeng is also discussing this matter with Angel, which shows his concern about this matter.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have just returned from Beiping. Although Yanyun has encountered a severe drought that is rare in history, most of the local officials at all levels are quite dedicated to their duties. There are very few who dare to stand in the limelight. The minister has ordered the supervisor He will be dismissed on the spot first, and will be handed over to the trial court for disposal after the investigation is clear. The subordinates of the minister do not dare to wander leisurely in the prefecture city as His Majesty said. They all go to towns and villages in micro-services to understand the situation, and report every three days , this minister can guarantee."
Linghu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to clarify. Who is Gu Quan, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, the younger brother of Gu Ji, a close friend of His Majesty, the Southwest War Intelligence Department made a mistake, and the Overwatch Council only intervened in the investigation. Truthfully reported the situation to His Majesty who was still staying in Yuhang, and a few days later there was an imperial edict, removing the director of the Guquan General Intelligence Agency from his position. Who is Gu Dengyun? His Majesty's brother-in-law was still dismissed from his post and stayed in his post for inspection. He committed a crime and made meritorious deeds, which caused a political earthquake in the capital. The first major political storm since the founding of the empire.
His Majesty the Emperor seems to be in a good mood now, but if he really breaks the rules. That's not the slightest bit of neglect. When rewards are rewarded, when punishments are punished. This is His Majesty's inherent style, Linghu Yi is very clear about it.
"Well, Linghu Yi, we need to strengthen supervision on officials from all over the country, especially the officials from Yanyun and Beiyuan counties. Now is a time of crisis, and it is also a critical period to test the integrity of local officials. No tolerance!" After a pause, Wu Fengcai said again: "If the performance is excellent, I will never treat them badly, I can clearly tell the ministers here, the ministers may wish to send a message to the officials below, I There are plenty of positions waiting for them. There are still several vacancies in the empire. At present, the empire is expanding to the west with millions of square kilometers. There are several fertile lands thousands of miles away, Meili has surrendered, and Cui Xiu has repeatedly asked me to send local officials to manage it. I am still hesitating where so many officials will go? As long as the virtues are good and the talents are outstanding, I will never Will be stingy to give, just because they don't have that ability!"
Wu Feng's words immediately attracted the officials to whisper in the hall. This is the first time His Majesty the Emperor has publicly responded to the matter of Solian and the Punjab Commandery on a formal occasion. Indian and Meli joined in. Although the news of the empire's control of Meli has been widely spread in the imperial capital, the taste from His Majesty's mouth is quite different.
"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to clarify one thing. In recent days, many gentry and merchants have come to ask me about the establishment of the administrative region in the Indian region. They have invested heavily in the Indian region, and they are quite familiar with this issue Concerned, I have always hoped that the empire can give an accurate definition so that they can feel at ease. I wonder if your majesty has a detailed timetable for dealing with the problems in the Indian region?" He is also a veteran of the former court, and he has maintained a very good relationship with Wufeng before the establishment of the empire. After the establishment of the empire, he also stayed as the Minister of Commerce and Trade.
"The Government Affairs Council and I have been discussing the matter Master Zeng asked. Although there is no exact timetable, I also have a rough plan in my heart. I estimate that I will give the public a satisfactory answer soon. Zeng Your Excellency might as well tell those gentry and merchants that no matter what method the empire finally adopts to manage this region, their interests and property will be absolutely guaranteed by the empire, and they should rest assured that it is only serious to focus on how to make more money." Wu Feng also It has been prepared for a long time, and there is no leakage.
"Your Majesty, the opinions on the reform of the currency system by the Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Central Bank have been deliberated and approved by the Executive Meeting of the Imperial Council, and submitted to His Majesty for reading. I don't know what your Majesty thinks about this plan. If Your Majesty has no other objections, I urge Your Majesty to sign it as soon as possible so that the currency reform can be completed as soon as possible."
Tian Yi, Minister of Finance, and James, Governor of the Central Bank, also presented another important topic of this meeting. The reform of the currency system has been put on the agenda before the establishment of the empire. Since the imperial currency has always been used in the previous dynasty, and with the further increase of commercial circulation, the method of using metal coins for the imperial gold coins has become less and less suitable for economic development. Although The development of banks and money houses has allowed large amounts of currency circulation to be settled by checks and bills of exchange, but small amounts of cash flow still use gold coins, which itself contains precious metals, for currency circulation. This method has become more and more inconvenient for merchants, so The Imperial Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Central Bank have been planning to issue banknotes to replace the inconvenient imperial gold coins, with denominations ranging from one gold coin to one hundred gold coins, which will greatly facilitate the operations of merchants.
Because the banknotes need to be prepared with gold reserves to prevent currency depreciation, the early stage of the empire was unable to achieve a balance of payments due to the excessive consumption of the initial construction and wars, so this plan has always been empty castles and cannot be implemented. The addition of the Tik treasury in the southern Indian region has made the imperial treasury more substantial. The newly revised "Imperial Bank Act" reserve system also requires that the reserves of private banks must be stored in gold in the imperial treasury. This has greatly increased the amount of gold stored in the imperial treasury, and the news from Melly is also good, so Tian Yi and James hope to complete the currency reform plan as soon as possible at this time~IndoMTL.com~ Well, the time is ripe now , This currency system reform plan should be able to be implemented. I agree. After today’s court meeting, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank will be responsible for implementing it. Paper money and gold coins can be circulated at the same time, but the circulation of gold coins should be gradually reduced. Mainly paper money, gold coins As a supplement, to ensure that paper money is absolutely equivalent to gold coins, the Ministry of the Interior will severely punish those who take the opportunity to seek trouble! "This is also a major event, and the completion of this major event can also promote the further radiation of the imperial economy to the surrounding areas.
"Your Majesty, the negotiations on the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nanyang Alliance have ended. Send someone to accept it, and please show your Majesty." Foreign Minister Wang Liao came forward to request.
"Well, the Council of Government and the Privy Council of the islands assigned to the empire can discuss first, solicit the opinions of the navy, and implement it as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring the needs of the navy first, so as to ensure that these islands can play their role as soon as possible."
The negotiations with the Nanyang Alliance on the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands also experienced several twists and turns, and finally ended with the concession of the Nanyang Alliance. It is also a great victory in the history of imperial diplomacy that the important islands explored everywhere fell into the hands of the empire.
