Chapter 468: A New Deal for a Cup of Wine
Yang Yi has long been thinking about letting the first batch of students who have received the new education from Guangming Academy enter the Dayue Kingdom, although the thoughts and knowledge of these students are not as good as the high-achieving students from institutions of higher learning in Yang Yi's previous life, but they are already very advanced compared to this era.
The biggest reason why these new students were not allowed to stay in Shuzhong was the replacement of the old and the new.
Shuzhong has changed greatly in the past few years through the so-called "New Deal" from the outside world, but in Yang Yi's view, these are not "New Deals" at all, but they just repackage the original inherent things and then take them out and use them, which is a change of soup but not a change of medicine. One of the biggest problems is that the entire military and political system in Shu still can't get rid of the influence of the aristocratic scholars, once Yang Yi forcibly let these new students with ideas beyond this era infiltrate into this system, it is bound to cause strong resistance and even a backlash from the scholar class, and the slightest carelessness will cause extremely serious consequences, and even shake the foundation of the entire Shuzhong.
From the history known to Yang Yi, there have been countless fundamentally correct reforms and new coup d'Γ©tat laws, and the root cause of many of these failures is that they touched the interests of the main classes of the original country, resulting in stillbirth, and in more serious cases, it will lead to a bloody storm.
This is definitely not what Yang Yi wants to see, Shuzhong, who has just improved, is like a baby waiting for milk, and he definitely can't withstand such a toss.
Therefore, Yang Yicai thought of taking the Great Yue Kingdom as a demonstration point of the New Deal to tentatively realize his idea, if the New Deal was successful, then moved back to Shuzhong to implement, under the huge fruits, those scholars had to bow their arrogant heads, even if the New Deal failed, the impact was only on the Great Yue Kingdom, and the turmoil caused to Shuzhong was minimal.
At the dinner, Yang Yi did not express his thoughts vaguely.
If you want to implement the new policy, you have to have money, of course, Yang Yi is not unable to take out this money, but the new policy is like a chariot, the more people push this chariot, the faster it will go.
The crowd began to whisper, and after half a ring, one of them came out and asked, "Your Highness, if you have some doubts below, can you ask?" β
Yang Yi turned his head to look, but it was Huang Yan, the manager of the old acquaintance Shuzhong Huangmen Shu Jin.
Since Yang Yi began to pass through the country of Dayue, the land of Dayue has become an important hub for various commercial houses in Shuzhong, and many of the principals of the families have personally come to Dayue to take care of affairs, which is why Yang Yi brought such an important decision here.
Yang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Steward Huang just asks." β
Huang Yan bowed his hand, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since His Royal Highness is in charge of Shuzhong, the changes in Shuzhong are obvious to all, not only the government is harmonious, Baixin is rich, everyone here is also making a lot of money, many family properties have increased several times, and every decree issued by His Royal Highness in recent years is also admirable in the end, I Huang Yan has revered few people in his life, His Royal Highness is definitely a rare master in Huang's heart, Huang Yan is deeply in awe!" β
Saying that, Huang Yan folded his hands and bent down, and made a big salute respectfully.
At the banquet, everyone also hurriedly stood up and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Your Highness is wise, and we deeply admire it." β
Yang Yi was helpless in his heart, so he had to pick up the wine glass with a friendly face, and said loudly: "Everyone, drink it!" β
Although Yang Yi smiled brightly, his heart was like a mirror.
A few words of flattery and flattery are simply easy for an old fox like Huang Yan, who is proficient in the world, and under normal circumstances, the better the previous words, the more acute the questions that follow.
Sure enough, after Huang Yan saw Yang Yi put down the wine glass, he bowed his hand and said: "It stands to reason that His Royal Highness is the founder of the change of heaven and earth in my Shu, what do you mean that we should support it unconditionally, don't say a little money, it is His Royal Highness's old life to be old, and Huang Yan did not hesitate to give it." After a pause, Huang Yan changed his words and said, "But... Huang Yan has to be responsible for this family business, and is responsible for the life and death of hundreds of people up and down the Huang family, so Huang Yan has always walked on thin ice and acted cautiously, fearing that a slight flash will ruin the century-old family business, and it will be difficult to see the ancestors of the Huang family after death..."
Yang Yi saw that Huang Yan had white hair, and what he said was tearful, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "What Old Man Huang said is even, since ancient times, it is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, it must be right to be cautious, if the old man has anything to say, just ask." β
"Your Highness, the new deal has always been risky, and the slightest carelessness will cause an uproar. Since His Royal Highness presided over Shuzhong, there has been an endless stream of politics and law in practice, and we all want to know where His Royal Highness's new policy is? β
Huang Yan asked without humility or arrogance, and most of the people at the banquet also nodded yes.
In fact, except for a few officials, businessmen like Huang Yan and others do not pay much attention to the process of the New Deal, and they are more concerned about the results of the New Deal, which is closely related to their interests.
Yang Yi has made many changes in Shu over the years, even if these changes are only the tip of the iceberg of modern society for Yang Yi, a traverser, but for these ancients, it can be described by the word unusual, and it has been completed beyond their imagination.
Yang Yi said so formally at this moment that he wanted to realize the real new policy in Dayue Kingdom, Huang Yan and others couldn't imagine what kind of government could be regarded as new.
Yang Yi didn't answer in a hurry, but first glanced at Huang Yan, and then glanced at everyone present.
After pacing two steps in front of the desk, he suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this wine glass in my hand is like the great light of today, or figuratively broader, it represents all human countries and civilizations in the world today. We measure the strength of a nation by the amount of wine in the glass, and the more wine, the stronger it is. β
Yang Yi shook the wine glass and asked, "How much wine do you think the current Daguang should pour?" β
Everyone was silent, everyone knew the current situation of Daguang, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to tenaciously continue the national name.
Yang Yi said: "Although my surname is Yang Yi, I am the heir of the orthodox king of Daguang, but I also have to admit that Daguang is already exhausted, and half a glass of wine is enough." β
As he spoke, Yang Yi took the wine jug next to him and poured half a glass of wine into the wine glass.
Everyone's faces are a little ugly, the golden dragon that once shined in the east can only be said to be half a cup now, but everyone can't say anything to refute, the people who can come to this banquet are well-informed people, not to mention that the fragmented Daguang is comparable to a huge empire like Di, even some prosperous small countries can talk to it on a knee level.
