Chapter 042: Bombshell
"I think Your Majesty has some truth in what he said, and providing a normal outlet for the people can indeed alleviate the intensification of conflicts. However, this matter is too complicated, can we first conduct a pilot in a small area to see the specific management methods and effects? Yi Yi didn't disagree with Hong Tao this time, but planned to offend both sides and use clever ways to fool the emperor over.
"Well, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin! Next year is an election year, and it will also be a big test for you, who can guarantee that the people will choose your government to continue to govern? As far as I know, there are already members of parliament who are not very happy with your performance. Now there are two or three opinions in the parliament, and some members think that the development of the empire is a little slow, and it can be faster, and the younger and more knowledgeable officials are more in line with their ideas; Some parliamentarians believe that the foundation of the empire is not yet shaky, and that you cannot expand your power too quickly, and these people are likely to continue to support your re-election; There are also some parliamentarians who are wait-and-see, who do not have their own clear opinions, but just want to hear more about the opinions of others. But as the privatization process deepens, immediate interests are likely to push them to the side of the radicals. In such a situation, it will be difficult for your government to meet the demands of the majority of the people, and if you don't do it, another group of candidates will pop up. Is this possible? Minister Yi? Since Hong Tao dared to submit the draft of this bill to the government, he did not intend to give up halfway, he had already found enough quid pro quo for the government to support him. Some things are useless just by talking about them, everyone thinks about the gains and losses, and does not care too much about the truth and right and wrong.
“…… I don't know much about politics, and I shouldn't get involved too much......" Yi Yi, who was still indifferent just now, asked Hong Tao like this, and suddenly became a little flustered, and the dead face revealed a trace of blood.
"Oh, I don't know, right, then I'm not going to guess, let's get down to business. The establishment of trade unions is not only beneficial to the government and the people, but in fact, the biggest beneficiary is your government. Think about it, who do the unions represent? It's a laborer, right? More than 50 percent of the population of Jinhe Country are laborers, and most of them choose to join the trade union, no matter what factory they work in. What are these people, and can anyone tell me? Hong Tao grinned and smiled at Yiyi, barely laughing, and then changed the topic and continued to talk about the union.
"Your Majesty wouldn't be talking about elections, would you?" Wen Nan rarely stayed in Jinhe City, and spent most of his time wandering between countries, and it was quite a coincidence that Hong Tao came today, and he was also present.
"It's still the Minister of Culture's brains! You're right, these people are not laborers or anything else to you, but votes! Almost half of the votes of the official inhabitants of the Empire! The union was founded by you, will they oppose you? At least not in a year's time, I don't think you're that stupid enough to mess things up so quickly. So I would like to congratulate you in advance, as long as the union bill is approved by the parliament, you can continue to be senior officials of the empire for another five years. No matter what ideals and ambitions you have, there is time to accomplish them. Minister Yi, do you think I'm right? "Hong Tao is a little weird today, he seems to be very concerned about Yiyi, and always asks famous questions.
"I feel that Your Majesty's wisdom has surpassed us by too much, and if it weren't for your explanation, I wouldn't be able to understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts. On this bill, I voted in favor first, and I completely agreed! Yi Yi also seemed to be infected by Hong Tao, and became abnormal, and he smiled first without speaking, and smiled so cheaply.
"You see, Minister Iraq has understood, what about the opinions of the prime ministers and ministers?" Hong Tao also smiled, and he also smiled cheaply.
"Your Majesty, this matter is too big, it is useless for us to agree, we have to try the attitude of the parliament. Can you give us some time first, and then we'll think about it. In the face of Hong Tao's aggressiveness, Bo Jiao wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head. He was scared by Hong Tao since he was a child, and he couldn't raise the idea of resisting. At this time, I have to say that Wen Nan is relatively calm, and he speaks in a straightforward manner, neither humble nor arrogant, and is very organized.
"Of course, I'm not here to force the palace today, I'm here to listen to the reply of the imperial government. But I would like to say that if you want to discuss it, you might as well discuss these two things together. One is my supplement to the Trade Union Bill, which cannot be an isolated policy, nor can it be a dead letter, it must be accompanied by measures. I have written down in detail what the measures are, and you will understand them when you read them. The other one is a small gift of mine, I am afraid that you are too busy with work and don't have time to look at my things, so I take this small gift to remind everyone, there is a very wordy emperor waiting for your reply. Okay, time is running out, I'll take my leave first, no delivery, no delivery. Hurry up and watch it, I promise you'll save even lunch after you've finished reading it! In the face of the official reply thrown by Wen Nan, Hong Tao didn't care, he had hole cards in his hand, and he was not afraid that others would fool him.
"My uncle, the older I get, the more angry I get, and I wish he had commanded the fleet to go around outside, so that he would be happy and comfortable. You said that those people in the Imperial Council are also real, why do you want to restrict Your Majesty from going to sea, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will have any accidents? If you want me to say that even if I drown the Dragon King, my uncle will not ......" Seeing that Hong Tao was gone, Bo Jiao finally dared to raise his head, and resumed the posture of the imperial prime minister, and while complaining, he picked up the document bag that Hong Tao threw on the table, and took out the two documents inside to look through.
"Minister Yi! I need you to tell me explicitly, who signed this secret investigation order, and why didn't you tell me beforehand! But as soon as he glanced at it a few times, the relaxed expression on Bo Jiao's face was replaced by anger, and he almost threw the entire document into Yi Yi's face.
"No way, it's not what I signed! I can guarantee that I didn't have to check the file records to ensure that I definitely didn't sign this investigation order, and I never signed such a thing! …… I see, this is a fake from His Majesty, look at this! Yi Yi felt that he was very unlucky today, first he was frightened by the emperor's bluff, and he was successfully frightened. also blamed himself for his weak heart, for fear that the emperor would say something about his own eating inside and out. Now this kind of thing is happening again, and he obviously hasn't signed this investigation order against the imperial officials, but his seal and name are clearly on this thing. Fortunately, he was still calm, and flipped back again, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, took out a piece of paper from the document, and handed it to Bo Jiao.
“…… My uncle is crazy! Our Emperor is crazy! Bo Jiao took the paper impatiently, looked at it, and then his eyes couldn't leave it anymore, staring at the paper for a long time, covering his face and lying on the conference table, his mouth kept chattering, it didn't look like someone else was crazy, but more like he was crazy.
“…… Why did Your Majesty do this! Who else knows about this? Seeing Bo Jiao's appearance, Kong Pei reached out and took the document, began to look through it from beginning to end, and after reading it, he took the paper again, and looked at it again and again, his face was full of doubts and uneasiness.
"No need to ask, if I don't know, no one else will. Our emperor is really ...... I can't even describe it, he's like a child! By the way, who knows where Ciqi went? It's not really going to arrest people, is it? Yi Yi finally recovered from his shock, pulled the document back from Kong Pei, and browsed through it again as quickly as possible, and immediately found the key part, which is worthy of a professional.
"......" asked Yi to remind one by one, and Bo Jiao and Kong Pei also reacted, and looked at the other ministers together. The answers were unanimous, all confused and confused, and the other ministers didn't even read the documents, they didn't even know what was going on.
"Someone! Someone! Without getting a definite answer, Yi Yi panicked and shouted loudly in the conference room. If Hong Tao was present, he would hate him even more, because he actually had a good baritone voice, which was very magnetic, and he couldn't usually hear it, and he would only be exposed when he shouted loudly.
"Go to the ministry immediately to check and see if Director Ci is not in the city, if he is asked to come here immediately, if he is not there, you must also find out when he left and what he went to do, do you understand!" In less than five seconds, Yiyi's deputy appeared at the door, and after listening to Yiyi's order, the brush disappeared again.
"Guys, what's going on? It can't be that the sky is falling! Wen Nan is very unaccustomed to the panicked style of Bo Jiao and Yiyi, and it is his motto that Taishan collapses in front of him and does not change his face.
"Minister Wen read it for himself, if I can still have this calmness after reading it, I will recognize one more teacher in the future......" Bo Jiao was a little haggard and didn't have the energy to explain the whole story to others, so he simply took the document from Yi Yi's hand and pushed it along the table to Wen Nan at the end.
Hearing Bo Jiao's words, the other ministers couldn't help it, and they all got up and came to Wen Nan's side, and looked at what was written on the document with Wen Nan. No need to turn the page, just after reading two pages, Wu Dalang of the Ministry of Finance touched the cold sweat on his forehead and went back to his seat, followed by Li Niang and Huang Sha, the two female ministers, walked to the window together, whispering something to communicate. After a while, Huang Tao didn't finish reading the document, so he walked to his sister's side, pulled Huang Sha to the corner of the house, and talked about more secret topics. The content can't run out of the Weng family, and the daughter-in-law of his eldest brother Huang Lang, that is, the sister-in-law of their brother and sister, is the Weng family.
