Chapter 568: The Next Prime Minister
"Well, what the people who come today are going to do is a big thing, a big event that will affect the development of the empire in the next five to ten years." Tuoba Sijian saw that in addition to Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi and other military people in the group, the last two were Du Rangneng and Yang Qiu, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Xuanqing say: "Because the leader of our future political party is still sitting here, and the political party is still in planning, the candidate for the third prime minister of the Tang Empire still cannot rely on the election system we envisioned, so what everyone here here needs to decide is the candidate for the third prime minister." You can feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions. For the sake of national affairs, there is no need to be taboo. ”
Cen Tianshi and Tuoba Siji beside him glanced at each other and nodded, the two of them were thinking as one, so Cen Tianshi coughed and smiled: "This little song is easy to sing, the emperor or I come, anyway, I am still the current prime minister." I think Murong is very good, he has been in the position of Minister of Industry and Commerce in the past few years, and his knowledge of industrial and commercial development is also obvious to everyone. Now that the industrialization of Datang is officially in full bloom, a person who is familiar with the development of industry and commerce will be in charge of the cabinet, which will inevitably be able to keep up with the pace of the emperor, so that Datang can rectify the interior this morning, complete the industrialization of the whole country, and provide strong national support for the next step of development. Although Murong Hanhai was born in the Murong family, the head of the six major families, his comprehension and talent for industry and commerce made everyone know that the industrial layout of the empire over the years was basically Li Xuanqing was arranging the overall situation, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce led by Murong Hanhai and the industrial and commercial circles of the empire implemented them one by one. It is precisely in this way that the industrial territory of the empire can be expanded from the original old industrial area of Fengzhou to the northern industrial belt, and then develop to the north and south, deriving the Northeast heavy industrial zone and the Central Plains manufacturing center. A large number of industrial and commercial industries have taken root in the middle and have also poured the efforts of this young minister of industry and commerce. At this critical moment of the industrialization of the empire, the prime minister of the cabinet is proficient in industry and commerce, and is bound to be able to better understand Li Xuanqing's thoughts, and also be able to promote the further development of industry. So others, including Xu Tianxiang and others, don't have much of an opinion on this.
"Your Majesty, Murong is indeed good, but after thinking about it for a long time, Weichen still feels that it is necessary to recommend another person, at least to leave a pattern of multi-person competition, so as to provide a reference for future generations." Du Rangneng suddenly stood up at this time and said with a smile: "But let me make it clear in advance, I don't have much opinion on Murong being able to run the cabinet, he does have this ability, and he has been really diligent and diligent over the years, and he has made a lot of achievements in industry and commerce, and it is a blessing to be able to go further to the country and the people." ”
"Who is the candidate for the hospital?" Because he sat relatively close, Hu Xiaosi sat next to Du Rangneng, so he said with a smile at this time: "Yuanzheng's idea is really good, we are about to launch a political party election, which is not bad for Murong to find a competitor, even if he can't be elected, according to Murong's character, it will be a big member of the future ruling party, which is beneficial to the development of the empire." "Du Rangneng and the law court he led belong to the most low-key of the high-level departments of the empire, and they have no sense of existence all the year round, but in today's empire's anti-corruption and anti-crime efforts, the iron fist that this law court compound is showing makes everyone tremble, and Du Rang can make a lot of contributions to maintaining legal justice in today's economic development is so prosperous. It is precisely because of this, including Li Xuanqing, that all the high-level officials of the empire have abnormal respect for this original law court compound. Last month, because of a case involving both the military and the civilian side of the military's military court, Du Rangneng directly asked the military to make concessions in the face of the law, for which the local law court was jointly commended by Defense Minister Yang Tiancheng and Chief of General Staff Xu Tianxiang, requiring the law court to show enough courage to resist pressure and fully safeguard the majesty of the imperial law in future cases involving the military. So as soon as he spoke, everyone in the audience looked at him together, wanting to see who this Masama-sama Yuan, who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, recommended.
"I recommend Zhang Jianzhong, the political envoy of Youzhou." Du Rangneng nodded as soon as Li Xuanqing spoke, this Zhang Jianzhong was the history of Tianjin Thorn that year, and later took over the post of political envoy after the transfer of the political envoy in Youzhou, so many years Youzhou's gross industrial and agricultural production value has developed from a poor province to the first place in the north today, this year's total industrial and agricultural production value has even exceeded Fengzhou, the domestic transportation conditions are perfect, the waterways are complete, and the industrial categories have tended to be complete, and relying on shipbuilding and ocean trade, Tianjin has become the fastest developing port city in the north, Not even worse than the emerging coastal cities of Shantou, Guangzhou and Xihai County. The latter few major port cities rely on policy and geographical advantages, but Tianjin basically has no policy support except for the Japanese route. However, Zhang Jianzhong stubbornly relied on the position of connecting the leading position of the northern industrial belt, and handed over the task of transporting a large number of bulk industrial products to the five major port cities in the north led by Tianjin, and on this basis, built the Bohai Bay port group, so that the entire northern industrial belt has benefited a lot because of the measures taken by Youzhou. At the time of the industrial transfer of the northern industrial belt, Zhang Jianzhong and Fengzhou took the lead in carrying out the industrial upgrading policy, focusing on the development of high-tech industries, and taking technological development as a breakthrough in the next development of Youzhou, which also led to the fact that although a large number of factories and equipment began to expand in the Central Plains, the old industrial base represented by Youzhou and Fengzhou continued to shine and even became more and more prosperous. Because Fengzhou is the starting place of the empire, most of the industrial development of the R&D base and most of the military industry in the equipment department are located in Fengzhou, so Fengzhou is basically a place where the first time to undertake the development of science and technology into industrial achievements, and even the achievements of large-scale scientific research bases from Chang'an are also given priority to land in Fengzhou. Youzhou side in the absence of these policies by Zhang Jianzhong to the policy attracted, the province to establish three major professional and technical colleges, plus the cabinet deployed in Youzhou North Institute of Technology and the joint royal assets under the manufacturing headquarters, has established its own in shipbuilding, high-precision manufacturing and precision industry, as well as new mining and other heavy industry technology center and talent center, faintly has a tendency to compete with Fengzhou. And in this regard, Youzhou has greater potential than Fengzhou. Once the private R & D and talent center is formed, it will inevitably make Youzhou occupy the commanding heights in industrial development forever, there are talents and R & D centers, there are a large number of factories and other industries to undertake technological achievements, Youzhou model has broken through the original shackles and embarked on a new path of development.
It is precisely because of Zhang Jianzhong's political achievements in Youzhou in recent years that everyone was silent after Du Rang Neng said it, Zhang Jianzhong and Murong Hanhai both have their own unique achievements in industrial and commercial development, which is really difficult to choose if you rashly let yourself choose.
"Our military is more optimistic about Zhang Jianzhong, because if you don't talk about your personal relationship with Murong, Zhang Jianzhong's may have a more obvious advantage than Murong. Murong came to power, for the subsequent promotion of the party system and election system, for the people, because Murong's identity is relatively unacceptable. Xu Tianxiang thought for a while and said: "Murong is not only the Minister of Industry and Commerce, but also the third son of the Murong family, and more importantly, because of the relationship between the imperial concubine and the mother, the Murong family is actually a member of the royal family. Although we cannot avoid the preponderance of the family in the election, we must not allow the people to be misled in this way. After all, the electoral system was the key to the political life of the empire in the future. After Xu Tianxiang's words were spoken, the faces of the people present became strange, Xu Tianxiang's words made them think of the problems they need to face in the future elections, and according to his point of view, I am afraid that Murong Hanhai has a lot of disadvantages in this regard. What's more, these people here are not so much discussing the next prime minister as they are formulating the rules of imperial administrative politics, and for this rule, Tuoba Siji, who is most likely to become the next prime minister, has given way, so if Murong Hanhai really obstructs this rule, I am afraid that he will also give way to the rules.
"Zhang Jianzhong's outstanding political achievements are indeed on par with Murong, and what Tianxiang just said is indeed more in line with the rules we have formulated for Zhang Jianzhong, who is from a civilian background." Li Xuanqing looked at everyone present and said with a smile: "If these two people are ten years late, let them fight in the Senate with one party and one party, I think it will be very exciting." It's just that we are still in the initial stage, so many things must be considered for the future, and national affairs cannot be abolished because of personal personal relationships. So-" Before Li Xuanqing finished speaking, he heard Qiaoxi next to him suddenly say: "Big brother, why don't you find a chance to listen to their own opinions on this matter?" Although the identity of the third brother of Murong is embarrassing at this time, after all, there is one thing that not only everyone here knows, even the ordinary people of the empire know that this young minister of industry and commerce has indeed worked hard for the development of the empire over the years. The third brother's status in the hearts of the people is not low, and the repercussions are also very great. Therefore, from the perspective of the third brother, if you can dilute the family factor and speak with your political achievements and ability, the people will still be very recognized. ”
"Qiaoxi's words do make sense, sir, you immediately issue a notice and let Zhang Jianzhong quickly return to Chang'an to report to work, and at the same time, you will quietly release this wind during this period at the end of the year, and I will sit in this Changqing Hall to fish." Li Xuanqing knew that Qiaoxi understood his thoughts, so he nodded and smiled: "Since the two of them have their own merits, then for the empire, it is actually not harmful to the overall situation which one to choose, so it is better for us to worry here and see how they react?" ”
"I agree with the emperor's opinion, leave this matter to me, this kind of thing is really seamless, you are not as good as me." Hu Xiaosi smiled: "But I said in advance, I support Murong as prime minister." ”
"Nonsense, you agree that we all know that you don't need to talk nonsense here." Wang Houchun, who was beside him, slapped him and said with a smile: "I have no opinion on everyone's opinions, but there is one point, that is, if we encounter this situation in the future, should we draw up a charter in advance?" After all, as far as the current reality is concerned, the children of rich families and wealthy families like Murong can obtain more resources and connections. So-" Wang Houchun's words were not finished, but everyone understands the meaning, after all, the words in the future are all campaigns, so it is indeed an advantage for the wealthy, if a bad one, the Tang Dynasty without political hierarchy that has been established with great difficulty will go back to the old road again.
"It's a problem, but it's not like there's no way to fix it." Li Xuanqing's heart moved, nodded and said, "I will come up with a solution for this question raised by Houchun in a few days, and everyone will improve it when the time comes." ”
"Okay, we've been talking here for two hours, everyone is hungry, I'll go and order the dumplings and come over and let's talk while eating." Qiaoxi knew that Li Xuanqing was pondering the kind of Western property publicity system in later generations, so he immediately stood up and smiled. However, his words made everyone realize that time passed so quickly, and Hu Xiaosi was even more curious: "Third sister-in-law, tangyuan?" What are Tangyuan? What kind of new dim sum is this? ”
"It's really a new type of dim sum, and it's a dim sum that can make a fortune." Li Xuanqing saw Qiaoxi bringing the palace maid from outside to bring everyone a bowl of rice balls, and immediately smiled. Under the guidance of Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi, the sugar cane plant widely planted in the subtropical areas of the south has become the most important cash crop in the southern provinces in recent years, and the sugar beet widely planted in the north in later generations was also found from the big food last year and then began to be improved in the mainland, and this year in the northeast has been planted a lot, the development of the sugar industry represents the food culture has embarked on the road of rapid development. Once these industries that affect the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people are developed, they will lead to the further improvement of the living standards of the people in the empire.
"The Law Court and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is subordinate to the Cabinet and the Ministry of Guards, can establish a system in which the assets of officials are publicized and supervised by the Law Court, as a system that every politician must abide by." Li Xuanqing's inadvertent words made everyone present quietly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Cen Tianshi stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I really convinced you." Although Li Xuanqing didn't explain much, everyone present was the one who really grasped the fate of this empire, and naturally saw through the changes and benefits brought about by this system once it was promulgated and implemented. At this time, only Qiaoxi looked at Li Xuanqing and suddenly smiled, the official's property publicity, this system established in later generations is difficult to implement because of the wrong timing, but in this life, I am afraid that it can really play its real role.
