Ning Zhonghai's worries are not groundless, in fact, many people can see the contradictions behind the industrial and commercial boom, that is, in the process of this stage of transformation, it needs to sacrifice a large number of people, the environment and even all the costs behind it.

Xin Qi Ningchu had fought a long war before, and having a large number of prisoners of war could alleviate the pain caused in the process, so it was not felt by more people at present, and the changes they could feel were actually very small on an individual level, almost insignificant.

However, on the entire general level of the country, this change is extremely outrageous, and even a little scary, from the grain production, pig iron production, and even the growth of the population, there have been great changes, and the entire Ning Chu is almost like a carriage that is accelerating faster and faster, heading forward.

Cheng Wang had a little worry on his face, and sighed: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is unique, and everything you do has your own opinions, and now we can only wait and see what happens." ”

"No, we can wait and see what happens in the court, but in the overall situation, we must follow His Majesty's pace."

Ning Zhonghai waved his hand and said: "The war between my Great Chu and Jungger will probably end completely within this year and next year, but the war with the Russians may last for a long time, and during this time, we need to sink our strength to the localities, preferably to Southeast Asia, and then we can eat the first bite of benefits." ”

I have to say that Ning Zhonghai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, is still very keen, and he can see at a glance that although the strategic center of gravity of Dachu is in the north, the center of gravity of economic development has always been in the south........ In particular, this negotiation with Britain, France, and Sweden has almost revealed the emperor's thoughts - he treats the rules differently and beyond.

The rules refer to the circle drawn by Ning Yu at the cabinet meeting, in which there can be no feudal monarchs, no heroes, and if there is, they will be brutally attacked by the imperial court, because those places belong to the core.

But if it is outside the rules, you can have a feudal monarch, you can be strong, and you can fully meet everyone's ambitions, as long as you have the ability, you can go out to develop and develop, but at the same time, the court will not cover for you, whether you make or lose depends on your personal ability.

Ning Zhonghai knew in his heart that if he wanted to make the Xungui faction unfading for a long time, it was not enough to rely on domestic influence, and if he waited until the current batch of meritorious veterans gradually grew old, it would be impossible to want the current peak status, so he must continue to develop externally in order to always maintain the status of the Xunchen faction.

Cheng Wang nodded and said softly: "It's just that many people's eyes are still only in China at the moment, which is too short-sighted....... The problems exposed in the Beijing inspection are really embarrassing! ”

"It's okay, the tree has dead branches, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will help us clean up these people, but we ourselves can't make mistakes in principle, otherwise even Your Majesty won't be able to save us."

Ning Zhonghai's face was a little solemn, he looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, and sighed leisurely.

..........

"Jiangnan Shifeng is weak, but it is not that he does not have the courage to make a move, Xue Gong's move can be called a temporary example, but it is a pity that Dong Chengyu and Sheng Qi got away with it, it is a little regrettable."

In a teahouse in Nanjing City, an old man in a green shirt with a slight smile on his face was Yan Hongkui, a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and under him, there was a person sitting, but it was Xue Haiyun, the imperial historian of the left capital, who presided over the affairs of Jingcha.

Xue Haiyun had a slightly wry smile on his face, and said softly: "Jingcha is not a tool for party disputes, even if you preside over Jingcha in the future, it is impossible to make it up wantonly, otherwise it will only cause Your Majesty's displeasure." However, this time, there are indeed many problems in Jingcha, but it makes people a little worried. ”

"Oh? What does Xue Gong mean? ”

Yan Hongkui is different from his friend Lu Yizhong, he is still more or less enthusiastic about the political situation, but the emperor doesn't appreciate him very much, and he can only read and chat on weekdays to entertain himself, but like this kind of court news, he often has a lot of curiosity.

Xue Haiyun shook his head, "Strictly speaking, since the establishment of the Great Chu, everything has been smooth, but there is only one point, the connection between the court officials and the merchants is too close, as far as that Dong Chengyu is concerned, although I have no evidence to prove that he has sought personal interests in the renovation plan of the old city of Nanjing, but he feasts and drinks with those chambers of commerce and businessmen every day, which is really despicable." ”

"The world is going down! How can I, a gentleman of Shilin, be in the same league with those businessmen who are covered in copper stench? ”

Yan Hongkui had a little regret on his face, "Your Majesty reuses industry and commerce, although it is to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but after all, it is not the right way, and those businessmen in order to make huge profits, it is not calculated to kill the people, just like the so-called Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, although I don't know what the use of repairing it is." But now it is said that dozens of people have died because of it......."

Xue Haiyun nodded on his face, although he knew that the dozens of people who died were all Eight Banner soldiers captured on the battlefield, but in the place of saint education, how could he be so reckless about human life? Even if it's a prisoner of the Eight Banners, it's a human being!

"Your Majesty is now prosperous in industry and commerce, don't say these words again, when the time comes, people will hear that there is a misunderstanding. The old man thinks that our Shilin faction has suffered repeated setbacks in the past, and now His Majesty seems to have a lot of reuse, and he can no longer anger His Majesty at this critical point, even the Second Auxiliary Lord thinks so......"

Compared with the noble faction that is still at its peak, the Shilin faction has already suffered a lot of vitality, so they are still quite jealous of the emperor, and now with the ascension of Li Fu and Xue Haiyun, they have also begun to try to change their thinking, and no longer do the hard and smelly broken stones in the pit........

As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, the big guy is still very spiritual in this regard.

Yan Hongkui's face showed a little confused, he was still criticizing industry and commerce just now, why did this adult's meaning go bypass? Are all these officials so able to see the wind and steer the rudder? It seems that this enemy is not outside at all, but inside the Shilin party...... That's how Donglin ended up back then!

As soon as he thought of the Donglin Party, Yan Hongkui came to the end, he stroked his beard and said: "Xue Gong, even if the industrial and commercial power is great, but my Jiangnan Shilin style is not weak, and there are also Shilin in Huguang Shilin, Zhejiang and Fujian and other places, if you really want to talk about it, you can also compete, why slack off at this juncture?" ”

Xue Haiyun glanced at this old stubborn man obliquely, and suddenly became a little angry, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yan, a morale disaster only arose last year, forcing Your Majesty to have to kill the killer, why do you want to be so brutal now, we have to save our strength....... This industry and commerce is destined to be unstoppable. ”

Yan Hongkui snorted coldly: "Last year's disaster was that they did not respect the law of the country, and they often wanted to rebel, and they deserved to be suppressed by His Majesty, but we are petitioning for the people, how can we be compared?" At least the development of industry and commerce cannot be so unscrupulous, Xue Gongguan is in charge of Wutai, and he should put a brake on the unhealthy trend. ”

The old man was straightforward, but it made Xue Haiyun frown when he heard it, he didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he snorted lightly and chose to leave, and Yan Hongkui saw this scene, and he broke up unhappily at the moment, but it laid a hidden danger for the split of the Shilin faction in the future.

After getting into the carriage, Xue Haiyun was a little worried, although he was also a Shilin faction, but he was completely different from Yan Hongkui, although he was vigilant about the rise of industry and commerce, but he also understood that this was the general trend of today, and anyone who dared to block the front would be ruthlessly crushed by the times, even if he Xue Haiyun or even Li Fu.

But the problem is that Xue Haiyun's meeting with Yan Hongkui today has already understood one thing, that is, the Shilin faction has not made much reflection on the previous defeat so far, and the existence of these people will inevitably affect His Majesty's opinion of Shilin in the future, and it will also affect the opinion of these people.

After all, there is a pig teammate who can be destroyed no matter what.

It's just that Xue Haiyun was a little hesitant in his heart, because he didn't know what the second assistant Li Fu thought, when it came to his status in the court, he Xue Haiyun was not the most core figure after all, the second assistant Li Fu was the old man of Emperor Ning Yu in the Eastern Governor's Mansion back then, and his status in the emperor's heart was still very high.

Thinking about it, Xue Haiyun didn't care about his sensitivity, and let the coachman go to the Li Mansion, thinking about asking to see the second assistant Li Fu in order to deal with the problems that might arise at the moment, but before he could reach the door of the Li Mansion, he saw Liu Tongxun, the new deputy director of the chamberlain, appear in front of him, with a little solemnity on his face.

"Lord Xue, Your Majesty is invited, please follow the officials to enter the palace quickly."

It turned out that after Liu Tongxun persuaded Sun Jiagan to become an official in Shanxi, he was promoted to the rank of official, and was personally promoted by Ning Yu to the deputy director of the chamberlain, so that he could once become a close minister of the emperor's side.

Xue Haiyun admired this junior very much, and hurriedly gave it up at the moment, and then followed Liu Tongxun into the palace, and after arriving at the Fengtian Palace, he saw that Ning Yu and several ministers were already chatting there.

"Minister Xue Haiyun greets Your Majesty."

When Ning Yu saw Xue Haiyun coming, he hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Xue Qing hurry up, I was still asking you just now." ”

Xue Haiyun stepped forward in fear and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you have something, you have to tell ....... order."

"I just like to know, I heard that Shilin is still a little dissatisfied now, and I feel that I am still a little partial in Jingcha, do you think you should organize people to fight together?"

Ning Yu had a little smile on his face, as if he didn't take what he said seriously at all.

But these words made the faces of the Shilin faction bigwigs present change, whether it was the second assistant Li Fu or Xue Haiyun, they suddenly cried out in their hearts, thinking that this was the emperor was already dissatisfied, but the first assistant Cui Wancai had a little bitter smile on his face.

As for Ning Zhonghai, Cheng Wang and others, they glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes, it seems that this pig teammate not only has it on his side, but also seems to have a lot of other parties.

Second assistant Li Fu immediately shook his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the matter of Jingcha has been decided by Your Majesty himself, how can it be repeated?" Even if some villains have some opinions, they are just mediocre words, and Your Majesty does not need to take them to heart. ”

Ning Yu waved his hand indifferently, "I think about it, I feel that party strife is unavoidable, it is better to spread it out on the bright side, and if you want to fight, you can fight on the bright side!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't say this...... The ministers and others are all thinking for Da Chu, not for personal gain....... "Everyone was surprised, the emperor actually said everything they thought in their hearts, how could this be done.......

Ning Yu waved his hand, "Hey, of course I know that you are fighting for Da Chu, but I think that fighting is not a bad thing, especially in such a thing as being an official, you must fight hard!" In the future, you can't be an official casually, you must win to become an official! ”

Can you become an official if you win? Although this is quite true, it seems more or less awkward to everyone's ears.......

"Your Majesty, isn't this encouraging the big guys to fight? There is no such reason in the world, right? The second assistant Li Fu finally couldn't help it, he decided to tell Ning Yu how serious it was to do this, how could the emperor, let the courtiers take the initiative to fight for the party?

When Ning Yu heard this, he seemed to be a little disappointed with Li Fu's answer, and smacked his tongue with some regret, "This is not good, even if you want to fight for the party, this level must be improved as soon as possible, and at present, relying on this ability alone cannot meet my requirements." ”

What the? Is the level of party contention not good? This makes everyone look at each other, it seems that this should not be said by the emperor, although the big guy has only been an official for a few years, this level is indeed not very high, but how can the emperor take the initiative to ask the courtiers to improve the level of struggle, isn't this to find excitement for himself?

Everyone didn't understand, but the first assistant Cui Wancai was clear in his heart, and the young emperor had a big plan in his heart right now, but no one guessed it at the moment.

Ning Yu explained in a good time: "In the past, although we reformed the imperial examination and changed the selection content for promoting talents, this is only one aspect of it after all, we have to change, and there is another aspect to change, that is, the responsible cabinet system!" ”

"What is the Responsible Cabinet System?" Shoufu Choi Wancai asked curiously.

Ning Yu smiled, "In the past, you officials were not responsible, this world is cured and cured has little to do with you, it is because the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and if it is cured, it is a faint monarch and no way, you are the most innocent, even if there is a leak in the world, you can still continue to be officials!" ”

"But I think that since the cabinet is responsible for handling the political affairs of the country, it also needs to be responsible, and it must not be easily dumped!"

This made everyone look at each other, and it seemed to sound a bit of Mingsizong...... Everyone suddenly felt a little angry in their hearts, we are all for your old Zhu family..... No, if you work for Lao Ning's family, how can you hold us accountable if the world is bad? We are all great loyal servants!

It's good now, the emperor wants to trouble our loyal ministers, this is not something that an emperor should do!
