Qi Hongyi slowly combed her hair in her pajamas, and her brows were furrowed in the dressing mirror. Qi Hongyi felt quite dangerous and a little unhappy about Wei Ze's shrinking the Wei family's contact with the outside world. It is extremely rare to be able to force Wei Ze to this point. Of course, this may also be because in the twenty or thirty years before the Wei family, there were only two people on the front line, Wei Ze and Wei Changrong. And as Weizer's children grow up, they also have to face the storm of politics.

Unhappiness is also inevitable, as the founding monarch. Wei Ze's performance was too weak in Qi Hongyi's opinion, the emperor should not be such a weak person, and in Qi Hongyi's judgment of Wei Ze, Wei Ze's ability should not be any problem in the center. What kind of turmoil can make Wei Ze, who has absolute power, treat it so cautiously? Since Wei Zhen and Wei Kun brothers can't have contact with the outside, what kind of difficulties will Wei Rui face when he is alone.

When the mother couldn't sit down anymore when she thought of her child's safety, Qi Hongyi got up and went to Wei Ze's bedroom. Weser wasn't in the bedroom, but in the study as usual. At this time, he did not review the documents, but leaned back in his chair very unattractively, and smoked with the window wide open. At this time, it was already winter, and the cold wind rushed into the heated room from the outside, and the air that was several degrees lower than the other rooms made Qi Hongyi shiver.

"There's my coat on the hanger, you wrap it up first." Wei Ze glanced at his wife and said warmly.

Qi Hongyi didn't wrap her coat, but leaned into Wei Ze's arms. Holding Wei Ze's solid arm, she asked, "Wei Rui won't be used, right?" ”

"I've explained it to Shen Xin, don't worry over there." Wei Ze put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said slowly.

"Wesser, what the hell is it that makes such a fuss? Can't even you control the scene? Qi Hongyi asked her the question she was most concerned about.

"Are you still going to make trouble on both sides?" Weser finally looked tired.

"Wouldn't it be nice to press whoever makes trouble?" Qi Hongyi asked.

Wei Ze shook his head, "If only it were so simple, it was not the interests of one or two people at stake, but the fundamental economic interests of the two major factions. No one will budge. And I used to think that if everyone is a brother, you have to treat this brother to the end. So I always wanted to protect the comrades in the province, and I didn't want to leave too many things to them. But now I look at it, I'm afraid it can't be stopped. ”

"If they can do it, let them do it." Qi Hongyi was very puzzled by this.

"Hehe" Wei Ze laughed dryly, "We have rectified the ministries and commissions several times, and those people can also be said to be directly under the control of the central government, and it is easy to deal with them." And it will also be considered a personal problem, and the rebound will not be large. But once the province is disposed of, it is a nest of grabbing, and if it is not moved, it is a mountain. The old brothers are also approaching retirement age, and I always want to delay it for a few years, and when both of them retire, I can make a big move. But I'm not saying anything, though. There are a lot of people who don't want to do that. ”

Retire together? These words made Qi Hongyi's eyes light up. Qi Hongyi has read a lot of history books, and naturally knows that killing heroes is an almost inevitable action in the founding era of every dynasty. There is no way to do this, those founding heroes are huge and intertwined with each other, and if they don't clean up these people, the dynasty will not be able to take back the feudal privileges that the heroes have. If the two factions that are now fighting each other can retire together, then Weese, who is not too old, will be able to fully plan the new system.

Qi Hongyi used to think that Wei Ze was too tolerant to the heroes, but now he looks at Wei Ze's plan. More than ten years ago, I started to set up this bureau. She hurriedly asked, "Then why do you want to agree now?" ”

Wei Ze sighed: "There are some things that can't be stopped, they must do it, then let them do it." If something goes wrong, then you will take whatever responsibility you should bear. If there are no bloody facts, it is useless to say anything. Of course, from a personal point of view, I really want these people to be law-abiding and able to start and finish well. But it's hard to say about human nature, and when it comes to putting interests in front of you, whether you think that profit is the supreme value, or finally realize that you are priceless, the result of this choice is often regrettable. ”

"Will they be corrupt?" Qi Hongyi was very curious about this.

Wei Ze shook his head, but there was a wife sitting in his arms, and the movement of shaking his head was weird and exaggerated, "I'm not worried about this, although someone will do this, and if you dispose of it, you will dispose of it." However, the economic operation in the provinces is the most troublesome, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to clean up the intricate and dark miasma engaged in local areas. There's so much at stake here, and I really didn't dare to delegate power like that before. But looking at it now, it is not possible not to delegate power. In some places, because of their own messing, there are still holes after the budget is drawn, so they cleverly set up a project to collect the poll tax. After the investigation of these matters, although the province also dealt with it on the surface, it was more complaining and complaining, saying that the local government had no money. I didn't think it would work for these people to play this trick in front of me, but in fact, after a struggle, I realized that I couldn't get them. Either you slack off, or you resist. The person who was replaced wanted to keep his official position, and he did worse than before. Hey, interesting. ”

This kind of thing didn't make Qi Hongyi too interested, and she smiled after listening to Wei Ze's words: "Please also ask Your Majesty to pay attention to your body." ”

The three meetings in November 1885 were finally held as scheduled, and all the bigwigs unanimously arrived in Nanjing. Foreign Minister Li Xin, who had been abroad for almost a year, returned to Nanjing to greet Prime Minister Levi's. Levi wanted the prime minister to report on the situation in Europe, but he didn't expect Levi to listen to the complicated situation in Europe after simply listening to it.

"Will Europe's financial sector open up to China?" Levi's asked about the economy bluntly.

Although Li Xin is from the Ministry of Commerce, he has been away from the Ministry of Commerce for a long time, and he does not really understand the financial industry. Seeing that Levi's cared so much about the problems of the financial industry, Li Xin felt a sense of loss in his heart, "Comrade Wang Mingshan will soon come back from Europe, he is in charge of this work, and it is more appropriate to ask him." ”

Levi sighed, "I'm just in a hurry. This matter involves a lot of money, and it is neither urgent nor possible. You pick the key points and say them, so that I have a bottom in my heart. ”

Seeing that Levi was so excited, Li Xin could only reply: "It seems that this matter will only have an effect in the next two or three years, and now I can't see what kind of amount it can achieve." ”

The content of Wang Mingshan's telegram was the same as what Li Xin said, and Levi's could only temporarily satisfy such an answer, and he advised: "Minister Li, next year you will have to work harder and go to Europe more often to grasp this matter." Many issues still have to be dealt with by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If someone mentions this, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to take responsibility. ”

This request was really unexpected, and Li Xinyi couldn't understand it for a while. As the foreign minister, in the face of the prime minister's request, Li Xin could only nod temporarily.
