"What does this mean? Not long after it opened, and it's going to be closed again? I knew what to toss like this, don't open it in the first place, it's over! Bo Jiao took out a few pages in the envelope, glanced at them a few times, and immediately began to slap the table. A year as Prime Minister was more tiring than the ten years he had been governor of the port of Kalamba, and even if the danger to the Arabs had not been completely resolved, leaving him with a ship to garrison the port of Kalamba, it would not have been so troublesome.

"I understand, Your Majesty is not angry with your advisor, nor does he want to pursue Minister Yi's affairs, he is not satisfied with our open-door policy, and thinks it is too unsafe. These days, I also feel that there are indeed too many loopholes in this set of things we have made, and if it is the same as said above, it is really easy for someone to assassinate His Majesty or someone else. It is only necessary to hide somewhere, and when His Majesty gets closer, not even a musket, and a two-handed crossbow will solve all problems. I know your majesty better, if someone makes him uncomfortable, can't eat and sleep, then no one wants to be comfortable, this time I'm afraid it will touch his scales. Kong Pei has never squeaked, as the oldest minister in this government, he also had the hope of becoming prime minister. It is precisely for this reason that he generally does not take the initiative to express anything, just because he is afraid that Bo Jiao will think too much.

Now he doesn't say it, he doesn't know what others think, anyway, he doesn't want to lose this minister, and go back to the battleship to compete for the position with a group of little guys. It's too embarrassing to compete with them. Those children are all graduates of the class, and they are coarse, and it is clear who has the advantage. Find out the real reason for Your Majesty's anger, so that you can find a way to explain or redeem your Majesty. Hong Tao is not a very ruthless person, as long as he doesn't involve too principled issues, he can generally get good results. Of course, maybe there will be a price to pay, this emperor is more profiteer than a profiteer, and he is very good at taking advantage of the fire.

"Doesn't Your Majesty have a guard?" Hearing Kong Pei's analysis, several of Bo Jiao's consultants couldn't help but interject.

"Guards? …… Prime Minister Bo, do you want them to avoid it first, I think Your Majesty is right, the system should be followed, otherwise why use the system. We fought desperately with the Mongols for a long time, didn't we just want them to implement their system? Blood has been shed, money has been spent, and you can't protect yourself for half a day, so you have to destroy it yourself. ”

Kong Pei habitually wanted to talk about the guards, but as soon as he saw the person asking the question, he couldn't hold back the fire anymore. He is not opposed to young people entering the government, nor is he opposed to slowly handing over power to them, but these young people are too anxious and aggressive, and sometimes they should rub their sharpness, let them know what is called tribulation, and they can't do whatever they want.

"You guys go out first......" Bo Jiao didn't dare to shelter his own think tanks anymore at this time, Hong Tao didn't know how to explain it, and if he annoyed the ministers again, then he would really be the prime minister. He also didn't want to resign, because the prime minister, the de facto supreme leader of the empire, can indeed do a lot of things, and the taste of power is bitter and sweet, and he feels that he can bear the bitterness, and the sweetness has not been enough. Besides, Governor Kalamba is already merciful, what are he doing when he is not prime minister? You can't let mercy give up the governor to yourself, can you?

"Your Majesty's guards are actually about the same as not, and it has always been the Marines who are standing guard for the palace. It turned out that His Majesty was the commander of the Royal Fleet, and he had the right to deploy the marines, and since his resignation, he has returned all the marines. From this point of view, His Majesty has indeed done better than us, and he has always acted according to the rules. At present, there are only four Marines who are his guards, in fact, he does not want these four people, but this is approved by the previous council, and there is no time to change it, so it will be carried out. The key is not in the guards or the guards, Your Majesty just doesn't want to hide in Tibet like a thief in his own home, everyone should know what kind of person he is, he will wander around the city if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't want to follow people around him. According to the current situation, let alone Your Majesty, I don't dare to walk casually outside, in case there is a Mongolian spy among the people who come, I am the commander of the detachment in the naval battle of the Three Kingdoms, it is enough for them to give me a few crossbow arrows, right? And you, you are also the commander of the detachment, do you dare to go out and go around? After Bo Jiao's advisors reluctantly left the conference room, Kong Pei continued to talk about the royal guards. This is a historical issue that is really unclear to the general public, including these ministers here. The clearest should be the two brothers Cixi and Ciqi, who also had a share in the problems of the royal guards back then.

"Minister Kong is right, Your Majesty does not have a guard...... Originally, I was going to transfer a guard from the police for His Majesty, but as everyone knows, the police station has just been established, and many people have not even experienced military training, and it is not suitable to be a royal guard, so it will be delayed. As for this security issue, I support the decision of His Majesty and the Council with both hands and feet, and if Jinhe City can enter as casually as it does now, and give me twice as many people, I will not be able to guarantee your safety. In the past two months, I have received more than a dozen reports, and on two occasions our residents almost killed a foreign businessman with a gun. They probed their brains around and broke into people's yards, in fact, they just wanted water to drink, the problem is that we don't have this set here, you say that if you really die because of this, who will I reason with? Before the words fell, the new police chief Ci Qi spoke, expressing his support for Kong Pei's analysis and at the same time 100% support for the parliamentary recommendations that he had just read. This matter is the most beneficial to him, and it is better to close the Golden River completely, and he, the police chief, will be much easier.

"I'm also in favor of setting aside areas for foreign businessmen to keep them from roaming. In fact, there are no special products to buy here in Jinhe City, and there are not many goods that are allowed to be exported. At the beginning, I supported the opening of the port, just so that our merchants could go out, and it was very inappropriate to use Jinhe City as a trading port. There are so many things that need to be kept secret here that no one dares to guarantee that after a long time, these things will not be passed out. We have a sense of confidentiality, and the workers have a sense of confidentiality, but can the families and children of the workers understand this? After Ciqi finished speaking, Li Niang took over the words again and followed the statement.

"Actually, from a health point of view, I don't support full opening, which would easily bring in foreign infectious diseases. Although our ships come and go frequently, our crews are trained in this area and have the necessary precautions, but the crews and businessmen of other countries do not have these knowledge. The army is coming, there is the Royal Navy and the Imperial Army, and if the plague comes, it will be up to God. "Huang Sha now has another part-time job, the Minister of Health of the Empire. She is preparing to build two large hospitals in Jinhe City and Mayi Port, and from a work point of view, she is very neutral and impartial. Don't think that Huang Sha is Hong Tao's younger sibling, you should talk to Hong Tao. Since Chen Qihong died in battle, her relationship with Hong Tao has been cold, even if she knows that Hong Tao is not to blame for her husband's death, but the knot in her heart is difficult to open.

"How many of you?" Bo Jiao saw that so many people stood up in support, and he didn't plan to listen to everyone's detailed reasons anymore, so he just expressed his position directly.

"I'm okay with that." Wu Dalang was the first to take a stand.

"......" Huang Tao was beaten by Hong Tao for no reason, although it was not aimed at him, but he also spared him, and his mood was not very good, he only shook his hand to express that he had no opinion, and he didn't even bother to say anything.

"I have a little different opinion...... "In the end, only Yi Yi of the Ministry of Supervision remained, and he hesitated for a few seconds, intending to say something different.

"If you have reservations, this matter is settled. Although Minister Qi was not there, his attitude was clear. Minister Wen is still in the Great Song Dynasty and has not returned, so he can be regarded as abstaining. Minister Li immediately drafted a proposal for me, and the meeting was dismissed! Bo Jiao glanced at Yi Yi and gritted his teeth before he scolded, but he didn't listen to his opinion and made a decision directly.

The battle plan of the Royal Navy and the Imperial Army was handed over to him by him, and he also said a lot of good things for those officers. Now that I think about it, he and several of his advisors are probably not ordinary first meetings and admiration, and the first two advisors were also recommended by him. This guy has collusion with the military and political circles, which is very complicated, and there is his shadow behind this matter. If it weren't for Hong Tao directly tearing his face this time, he would still stupidly run along their preset path.

Hong Tao doesn't like people to calculate himself, and Bo Jiao doesn't like it either. He was a soldier by military background, and such a person was simply not allowed on a battleship, which was a threat to the safety of everyone. But now Bo Jiao hasn't had time to deal with him, and his uncle is still ready to exercise the right of veto, whether he can use this proposal to calm Hong Tao's anger is still unknown.

In fact, Bo Jiao thought too much, including these ministers in the parliament and the government, Hong Tao was not angry or angry at all, let alone worried because his own safety was not guaranteed. All of this is what he played for others to see, the purpose is to make trouble for the government and prevent them from operating efficiently. That's right, it's troublemaking, and high efficiency is a good thing when it's in the right direction, but if it's in the wrong direction, it's more harmful than being inefficient.

Hong Tao believes that the current direction of the development of the imperial government is a bit wrong, but relying on conventional means cannot stop the government and parliament from continuing to make great strides, so he can only play some unconventional games with them. For example, relying on the old and selling the old, under the permission of the rules, use various means to make trouble for them and drag them down. The longer this time drags on, the better it will be for the Empire. When their frenzy passes, they will be able to find the right direction on their own, without saying it themselves.
