    "The idea, haha, since you can't be bribed and you don't listen to persuasion, then you have to change someone!" "Replacement? He is Pingzhangjun State Affairs and Assistant Minister, how can he be replaced?" Liu Zhiping suddenly became speechless and stared with wide eyes.  Chen Zaixing, a young man in his early thirties, is even more enigmatic than he was three years ago. If he was just a pond three years ago, he is now a lake.  "So what?" Chen Zaixing sneered: "There is a prime minister in the palace, and there are officials in the localities. Even though the emperor is young, he cannot have the final say in the dynasty alone, right? Shanghai, Tianjin, Jinling, Hanking  The industry has more than one million, so it is no joke that so many people are making trouble, and the tax revenue from these factories and shops is not a small amount. Even if Wang Qinian is prosperous, he can't stand such a waste, right? "  After hearing Chen Zaixing's words, Liu Zhiping's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked: "Fusheng, then we should contact colleagues from all over the country first, and then -" "No need, Mr. Liu, you and I are eye-catching in every move we make, so it's okay to lobby."  That's all. If this is just telling the truth and giving that guy a chance to beat him up, we only need to let people explain the harm clearly in the court first, and then things will take their course. We will hide behind the scenes and wait and see what happens.  "Resurrection is really great!" Liu Zhiping couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He has been in business for decades and is not as familiar with the struggle in the court as Chen Zaixing said. Since Wang Qinian is determined,  The law prohibiting the import of grains naturally predicts that hostile forces whose interests have been harmed will block it in the court. If Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping contact businessmen from various places to initiate trouble, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Wang Qinian will definitely not be able to escape.  His eyes will tell you the truth, so it is better to wait and see what happens.  "Then where are we going now?" "Go back to our residence!" Chen Zaixing smiled: "I won't see anyone!" The next day, the court meeting.  "The sage has said: 'The way to manage government is to not be troubled first. The origin of people is in the place, and the origin of the place is in the appropriateness. The appropriateness comes from the time, the time is used for the people, the people are used for strength, and the strength is used in moderation.  "Knowing that the land is suitable, you need to plant trees at the right time. If you save the people's energy, you will make money" Wang Qinian suppressed the disgust in his heart and listened to Lu Shanxin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, reciting his memorial loudly. He naturally knew this ordinary person.  Why did the ministers who rarely expressed their opinions suddenly jump out to talk about "sparing harsh affairs, sparing taxes and reducing taxes"? Obviously, it was in conflict with the request made by his disciple Lu Yushi a few days ago to ban the import of Burmese rice to ensure domestic rice prices.  There is a deep relationship with Zhezi.  "Humph, I bought myself just for a few things!" Wang Qinian cursed in his heart, just as Lu Shanxin had read the last paragraph of his memorial: "Today, merchants in the vassal country exchange what they have and what they have, it is  It's an ordinary matter. Why should the court cause trouble? " "So Mr. Lu, you are opposed to imposing restrictions on the import of Burmese rice?" Queen Mother Deng's voice came from behind the curtain.  "Not bad!" "Well, what do you all think?" Following the Queen Mother's inquiry, several more ministers came out to speak. Some supported the ban, and some opposed it. However, there were many more people who opposed it. There has been no one.  Wang Qinian who spoke looked at the people who objected coldly, and sneered secretly in his heart: "Let you and others be rampant, and I will catch you all in one fell swoop later!" Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the court meeting.  Empress Dowager Deng had cast an inquiring eye on Wang Qinian several times. She also knew that this excerpt was written by Wang Qinian's disciple. She thought she had obtained his approval, but she did not expect that the situation in the court was gradually unfavorable to her, and Wang Qinian still  Standing there silently, could it be that he saw how timid those who opposed him were?  This is different from his usual style!  Finally, Queen Mother Deng could no longer bear her temper. She coughed and asked Wang Qinian, "Mr. Wang, what do you think?" "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, before expressing her attitude, I want to say one thing first!  "What happened?" Empress Dowager Deng smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, please tell me!" "The Empress Dowager knows that I have a habit of going back to the study for an hour after taking a walk after dinner without seeing any outsiders, so she knows this about me.  Friends who are accustomed to this will not come to visit me!" Wang Qinian paused and said, "But last night, someone came to visit!" "Oh? Who is that?" Queen Mother Deng looked curious.  She heard about it from the mouth of the late emperor. At that time, the late emperor also praised Wang Qinian for not forming a clique and pursuing selfish interests, and that he was a rare lonely minister in the world.  "She is the in-laws of the old minister. After all, my daughter is his daughter-in-law, so the old minister had to break the rules!" "I see, that's no wonder!" Queen Mother Deng was a woman after all. When she heard that Wang Qinian had broken the rules for her daughter, she felt inwardly.  give birth to a kinship? meaning.  "My brother-in-law came to see me but he wanted to ask me for something!" When Wang Qinian said this, his voice suddenly became louder: "Those people are willing to pay two million taels of silver to let Mr. Wang block the ban on Myanmar rice imports.  "The court hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Wang Qinian. His eyes were like lightning, scanning those who opposed the ban on Myanmar rice imports. Those who had spoken out instinctively  He lowered his head and avoided eye contact.  "Is this true?" Queen Mother Deng's trembling voice came from behind the curtain.  "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, everything the veteran said is true!" Wang Qinian's voice was as solid as iron: "Originally, the veteran was still a little undecided about banning the import of rice from Myanmar. After all, it involves a lot, and one must be cautious about national affairs. But after my in-laws left yesterday, the veteran  So I made up my mind to pass the ban even if I had to fight for it." The court was silent, and every minister who had just spoken out against the ban had a look of frustration on their face.  It seems that everything has become a foregone conclusion. If anyone dares to speak for the party that lifts the ban, it is equivalent to admitting in front of the Queen Mother that they have taken advantage of others. But thinking of the generous promise that person made to them, they can't help but secretly  Flesh hurts.  "I oppose the ban on food imports from Myanmar!" A voice broke the silence. In the silent court, you could almost hear the gasps of the ministers. People looked at this brave man who dared to brazenly brazen the world with surprise.  Seeing him walking out of the procession, he saluted the Queen Mother and the Emperor above the throne, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Hongmao, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, opposes the ban on the import of Burmese rice!" On the throne behind the curtain, the emperor, who was already feeling a little bored, finally met  When it came to something that interested him, he moved his body so that his sight was not blocked by the steps. His Majesty Dan, a middle-aged man with a straight back, looked towards him with bright eyes, as if he could see through  Zhulian saw himself.  "Mother, this person's vision is so good!" The emperor shrank his neck in fear.  "Good boy, sit down Chongbin!" The Queen Mother gently patted her son's knee. She also felt the power in Shen Hongmao's eyes, which made her hesitate. According to her advance plan, she should have repelled him.  , now she decided to listen to what this person had to say.  "Master Shen, tell me why you oppose the ban on Myanmar's grain imports?" "Yes, Queen Mother!" Shen Hongmao turned to face Wang Qinian and asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Wang, you support the ban on Myanmar's rice imports because of the bumper harvest in Jiangnan this year.  To prevent the price of rice from being too low and hurting farmers?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I want to ask Prime Minister Wang, have you ever thought that if the price of rice is low, it will hurt the farmers, and what will happen to the poor in the city if the price of rice is high?  To make a living? Moreover, factory owners must issue additional rice stickers, which has increased the costs for factory owners. You must know that Japan's textile and other industries have developed rapidly in the past two years, competing with our textile factories and flour mills in Jiangnan.  It¡¯s very intense. It¡¯s not going to work like this!¡± Wang Qinian snorted: ¡°What you said is just a one-sided statement by those businessmen. They are greedy and will do anything for money. Farmers and grain farmers are the country¡¯s leaders.  "Foundation!" "Really, but last year one-third of the tax revenue of the imperial court came from Jiangnan, 70% of which was from industrial and commercial tax revenue, not to mention that more than half of the newly issued national debt in the past few years came from these 'profit-seeking'  What will happen if no one buys the newly issued treasury bonds? " Wang Qinian couldn't help but feel a little horrified when he heard this. It's okay to pay taxes. After all, those factories are there and as long as they start working, they have to pay them.  But the national debt is different. Although Dashun won clean military victories in the two wars between Burma and Mongolia after 1885, it was a heavy blow to its fragile finances. This financial system was still in its infancy.  In ancient empires, there were very limited ways to deal with sudden expenditures such as war. They were nothing more than issuing bonds, temporarily levying additional taxes, selling salt and other concessions, etc. Among these methods, the sequelae were minimal and more sustainable.  It is the issuance of national debt.  But the issuance of national debt is nothing less than a double-edged sword. A government must ensure that it can continue to obtain funds from the issuance of national debt. While paying the corresponding interest, it also has to continue to make concessions to the buyers of national debt, in accordance with their requirements.  Act, or at least not against their wishes.  In Dashun at that time, the biggest buyers of national debt were undoubtedly the Jiangnan bourgeoisie. Only they had so much funds to buy national debt.  "Yes, if no one buys the newly issued national debt, that would be a big deal!" "You need to think twice about this matter!" Some people in the court began to speak out in agreement. They did not dare to come forward to oppose Wang Qinian, but this  Sometimes I play drumsI still have the courage to speak out. These people are all from Jiangnan. They have more or less connections with the factory owners. At this juncture, they naturally have to speak for the village.  "Huh, the bonds issued by the imperial court are almost risk-free. Every year, you get five or six cents of interest. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell such a good thing? What a joke!" Wang Qinian sneered and waved his hand.  Turning his sleeves: "Shilang Shen, you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so you don't have to worry about money!" Author's words: Dear book friends, the new website has been open for almost twenty days.  The results can only be said to be unsatisfactory, which made Weber very distressed.  Weber asked himself that he had put a lot of thought into the book, and he didn't dare to say it was fairy grass, but there was always food and grass. Taking a step back, at least it was hay.  But this score is not even in the top ten in the history category. Do you think this score corresponds to the score of the book?  Some friends told me in the group that instead of writing a book for Lao Bai, it is better to write for Xiao Bai, because Lao Bai is not as willing as Xiao Bai to applaud and pay for the books he likes.  It¡¯s not that many great writers can¡¯t write good books, but it¡¯s just that it¡¯s not worthwhile to do so.  So it¡¯s only fair that old white people can¡¯t find books they like, and those who are unwilling to pay will naturally not be rewarded.  Hearing this, Weber couldn't help but feel depressed. Isn't it a dead end for a writer like me who can't write novice books?  I used to think that since I didn¡¯t have a good book to read, I might as well write it myself. Wouldn¡¯t this work?  Although this book is a buyout, if the results are not good, then naturally the editor will not give you a contract for the next book.  I hope that if possible, everyone can help me post some recommendations outside. If you think the writing is good, you can recommend it or give it a reward. After all, my kind of book cannot be updated every day like the fairy tale novel.  Ten thousand.
