Chapter 412: Sweet and Sweet
【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
At this time, it was already the spring of 1243, and the general situation of the Mongol Empire had been thoroughly understood by Cixi's intelligence department, and Wennan also brought back the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty court towards the boycott and the Northern Expedition. Based on these circumstances, Hong Tao also changed his plan, and then summoned the heads of various departments to begin to discuss in Jinhe City how to act in the best interests of the Jinhe Empire next.
"Guys, do you see? What is the name of 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi? What is it better to die than to live? This is a living example! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't be rash, as long as you can live, everything is not difficult! The Great Song Dynasty official family estimated that they could wake up with a smile when they slept at this time, and the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, who would have thought that the Mongols would actually fight by themselves. If the Great Song Dynasty can't recover the lost territory this time, then this court doesn't want it. Hong Tao's opening remarks are still so vulgar, but they are so philosophical, Cixi nodded frequently, and Li Niang pouted.
"The current situation of the Mongol Empire has just been introduced by Minister Ci, and the Great Song Dynasty is still relatively active in the Northern Expedition, and has added 3,000 muskets with the empire, just waiting for the training of this new army of 10,000 people, and the conditions for the Northern Expedition will be completed. However, on the issue of the naval strike, the Great Song Dynasty was unwilling to make concessions, and the Northern Expeditionary faction in the court was inclined to be discussed by the imperial court and the representatives of the maritime merchants, while the main peace faction advocated the characterization of rebellion, and the dispatch of troops to suppress and ban the sea were proposed. ”
"Now is also a critical point in time for the empire, how to deal with the relationship between the empire and the Southern Song Dynasty, the empire and Mongolia, and whether the maritime strikes can finally achieve the expected results, are all related to whether the empire will be in Hedong or Hexi in the future. Today, there are only two issues that we have to determine: first, how to support the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty; Second, how to use the current international environment to force the Great Song Dynasty to sit down and negotiate with maritime merchants. Empress. You nodded the most, it seems that you have a lot of experience, so you should be the first to say! ”
Hong Tao has actually thought clearly about these two issues, but he doesn't want to make decisions on national policies by himself, which will raise imperial officials to be lazy, stupid, and sound worms. They have to be in charge of their own affairs, and they have to articulate their own opinions. Their own choices must be made. So Hong Tao just doesn't say what he thinks, he has to let these high-level imperial leaders here use their brains to ponder, not afraid of wrong ideas, but afraid that you don't want to.
“…… I think Your Majesty is right...... "Cixi habitually wanted to stand in line again, but before the words fell, she saw that Hong Tao's small eyes began to become one big and the other small, and quickly closed her mouth again." This is a precursor to Hong Tao's madness, indicating that what he wants to say does not conform to the emperor's mind, so he has to change it quickly!
"I think Your Majesty said that the Great Song Dynasty has now become a fragrant bait. In fact, the empire itself has also become fragrant. If the Great Song Dynasty wanted to go on a northern expedition, it would not be enough to rely on their rotten soldiers, but also rely on the new recruits trained by the empire for the Great Song Dynasty, so the Great Song Dynasty could not do without the empire. It is not so much that the outcome of the struggle for the throne within the Mongol Empire depends on the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, but that now the Mongols have to listen to us as the Great Khan! In this case, the empire will have a great say in the issue of the maritime strike, and I suggest that the Northern Expedition and the strike can be considered together. ”
"The Great Song court agreed to negotiate with the maritime merchants, and the empire continued to train new soldiers and provide weapons and ammunition for the Great Song Dynasty; If the Great Song Dynasty is still stubborn. If you're keen on fighting, let them go on their own Northern Expedition...... Ladies and gentlemen. After I finished speaking, everyone made do with it, and if I didn't say it if it was wrong, I was lucky enough to say it right, and it wasn't my ability, but it was usually taught by His Majesty. It made me understand so many national events...... "If the last nonsense is omitted, don't look at Cixi's obscene face, Hong Tao wants to take the lead in applauding him." This passage is said at a very high level, looking at the problem and seeing the essence, and putting aside personal preferences. It is completely from the perspective of the country, which can be regarded as the words of the old man seeking the country.
"I'm worried that mixing these two things together will cause resistance from the Great Song court. One of these two issues is the foreign policy between countries, and the other is the family affairs within the Great Song Dynasty. From the perspective of the Empire, it is not appropriate to intervene directly. "Cixi is sitting next to Wen Nan, if there is someone in the upper echelons of the empire who does not hate Cixi, he must be counted as one. Because the two of them usually work in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, many things have to cooperate with each other, and the personal relationship is also good. However, personal feelings could not affect official affairs, and Wen Nan was the first to express partial opposition to Cixi's proposal.
"I support Minister Ci's suggestion, since we can do business with the Mongols, there is no reason not to use them to obtain more benefits for the empire, not only can we use the Northern Expedition as a bargaining chip when necessary, but the empire can also cooperate directly with a certain side of the Mongol Empire, and even help them train musketeers, as long as the purpose of the empire can be achieved, the process is not important!" The third speaker was Li Niang, the youngest female minister in the imperial government, who spoke in a completely different style from Cixi and Wennan, and did not consider the feelings of other countries at all, and proceeded from the interests of the empire 100%, without any human touch.
"Then how can it be done, there are many Tanka people, Li people, Han people and Hai people in the north among the residents of the empire, although everyone does not like the Great Song Dynasty, but they don't like Mongolia even more, even if it is Japanese and Goryeo immigrants, they will not be willing to cooperate with the empire and Mongolia to fight the Great Song Dynasty. As a Minister of Public Relations, how do I explain to the people? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor married another Mongolian concubine and then made friends with Mongolia! More importantly, the children in our school, if they ask the teacher why the enemy of the empire changed from Mongolia to the Great Song Dynasty, how should the teachers answer? I can't say that this is listening to Minister Li's words, the empire is a mother if you have milk! When Minister Li has a child himself, it is time to understand how difficult it is to educate children. The fourth speaker was Huang Sha, who had succeeded Bo Zhu as Minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, while Bo Zhu continued to serve as Minister of Education. Maybe because they are both women, same-sex rejection, every time she and Li Niang sit together, sparks will burst out.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Discuss the problem, discuss the problem, do not carry a gun and stick personal attack, warn once! It is not surprising that Huang Sha and Li Niang have different opinions, their life experiences, family backgrounds, and education levels are very different. Hong Tao is allowed to argue, but he is not allowed to engage in personal attacks, especially if he is piggybacking on himself. hinted that he had many daughters-in-law in front of Bozhu, isn't this an obvious eye medicine.
"I don't know much about warfare or diplomacy...... The Empire's finances were now relatively stable, and the main expenses were the construction of Mayi City and the expansion of the Royal Navy. With pyrite from the port of Cape Town and sulphur from Java, the empire did not actually spend much, and it could be balanced by the taxes from the port of Malacca......" The next speaker was the new Minister of Finance, Saburo Shirakawa, oh no, he was renamed by Hong Tao and called Wu Dalang. Hong Tao very much agrees with the work attitude of this Japanese immigrant, this guy has almost no hobbies, and it is his favorite to figure out the numbers on the ledger.
However, he is also a stubborn person who has always maintained his original habits. There is no bed or chair at home, and he sits on a straw mat when he enters the door, he likes to eat rice and does not like to eat noodles, he always bows first when he talks to someone, and then bows after he finishes speaking, even if he wants to scold you, he bows first before scolding. It's the same when the meeting is held, Hong Tao said that he said a few times, and when he saw that he really couldn't change it, he didn't say it, just bow if he likes, it's not a matter of principle. I'm still smoking in the conference room, Li Niang has opposed it more times, but she hasn't changed it, don't do to others what you don't want.
In fact, in Jinhe City, not only Wu Dalang has this habit, but many Japanese immigrants have maintained their original living habits. However, Hong Tao is resolute and unyielding on one issue, that is, immigrants from any country or nationality are not allowed to gather on their own initiative. That is to say, don't want to form any Goryeo settlements, Japanese settlements, Tanjia settlements, Li settlements, ****** settlements, and Northland Han settlements in the Jinhe Empire......
Except in special cases, all houses are drawn by lottery, and the district in which they are drawn lives in. All the residential houses in Jinhe City are built with a drawing, which is exactly the same, and there is nothing to be picked. If you find it unbearable, there are more houses to choose from outside the city, those that are more spaced apart, and no one will interfere with your life behind closed doors. Just don't be afraid of the distance, don't be afraid of the imperfect service facilities, there is giving and taking, the imperial government is for most people, not some people's old mothers.
"Da Lang, say that the result is done, the process does not need to be detailed, if you want to say, come to me to report separately when the meeting is over." Wu Dalang also has a problem, that is, he can't speak at all, he deviates when he speaks, and the more he talks, the more detailed he becomes. If Hong Tao doesn't interrupt him, he can tell him all about the past five years' financial situation, and then he can also talk about his financial expectations for the next three years.
“…… Yes、I'm sorry for the delay...... The conclusion is that the empire has money and can fight! Even if Hong Tao interrupted his speech, Wu Dalang didn't intend to spare Hong Tao's ears, most of the first half of the sentences were still nonsense, and the only thing that really meant was the last eight words. At this time, Hong Tao wanted to change his name to Ximenqing, and then stuff half a catty of copper sulfate into the mouth of this round-headed and round-headed little man to poison this nonsense.
