Choosing a collaborator is not a simple matter, and now it is just a matter of reaching an intention to cooperate with each other, and if we want to really cooperate to plunder in Africa, we will continue to discuss it in a few days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

One day passed like this, and in the evening, a truck came to the door of Li Rujin's house, the car was loaded with things that Li Rujin brought back from Africa, dozens of dog head gold, but the total weight did not exceed 100 kilograms, and there were more diamonds, and they were all in excellent condition, which Li Rujin took great pains to select, and there were more than 20 ivory, of course, they were all good goods.

The housekeeper commanded the subordinates of the family to transport these to the warehouse, and in front of the housekeeper, divided these things into more than a dozen, the seven elders of the cabinet, the two marshals of the military department, several generals who got along well with Li Rujin, as well as Zhao Yuanshen and the major nobles of the scholar clan in Dongshan, etc., these are all good friends with Li Rujin, and it is still necessary to give some gifts and win favors. And it's the end of the year, which is a good time to give gifts.

These things are not worth much in Africa, but they are worth a thousand gold in the Dawen Empire, and they are a specialty of Africa, which is really a very good gift.

Dog's head gold, diamond, ivory, just make up the three treasures of Africa, the meaning is still very auspicious, Li Rujin instructed the housekeeper to prepare a prayer post, and start giving gifts tonight. The first stop must be the mansion of the marshal Zhu Qiwu, who is the master and the marshal in the army.

Li Rujin went out with the housekeeper, and the head of the house and the housekeeper went to visit a certain house together, this etiquette was already quite high, and Li Rujin went to give gifts, so he was warmly received by all families.

With so many people to visit, one night is definitely not enough, and it seems that it will take several more nights.

Li Rujin didn't get a few days of rest at home, so the cabinet sent someone to invite him to participate in the cabinet meeting, Li Rujin's position in the cabinet was a little embarrassing, in essence, Li Rujin was a person who belonged to the military department, and later borrowed to the cabinet, hung up a position in the cabinet, and was the confidential secretary of the Council of Elders.

The great elders of the cabinet also intended to cultivate Li Rujin, but the military department did not let people go, and the cabinet could not do without Li Rujin, as a result, now Li Rujin has become a small capable person in the military and government, as long as he is in the imperial capital, he must run at both ends, coupled with the emperor's dependence, the burden on Li Rujin's shoulders is still very heavy.

When they arrived at the conference room, the emperor and the cabinet members were there, and in the conference room, everyone first gave Li Rujin a small welcome ceremony, welcoming Li Rujin back from Africa, especially the nearly 200 tons of gold, which relieved a lot of burden for the Dawen Empire.

This meeting can be regarded as a year-end summary, before the meeting, the Great Elder also deliberately told Li Rujin about some things that had happened in the empire recently.

Since Li Rujin led the fleet to Africa, the empire is still busy, and the floods in the south have ended, but the post-disaster epidemic prevention and post-disaster reconstruction have just begun, and these require a lot of money.

But the Empire's treasury has dried up due to the war with Europa, so where to find money to support the reconstruction of the disaster area? In desperation, the cabinet once again sold the treasures stolen from India and Pakistan to obtain nearly 10 billion funds, but many things were not sold at a good price, in fact, the Dawen Empire lost.

Tens of billions of funds can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the entire disaster area in the south, and when the Dawen Empire was unsustainable, the first compensation of 15 billion for the Europa Empire was also sent to the Dawen Empire, which was regarded as a temporary solution to the financial difficulties of the Dawen Empire.

But this 15 billion can't all be invested in the disaster area, and the rest of the Dawen Empire is waiting to be fed, waiting for the rice to be cooked, and the most difficult thing for the Dawen Empire now is because of the lack of funds, which causes its own hematopoietic function to be insufficient.

The palm of the hand is also meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, the cabinet of the Dawen Empire is in a dilemma, and on one side are enterprises from all walks of life waiting to be fed, with this fund, these enterprises can be brought back to life, continue to produce, and continue to provide taxes and jobs for the empire.

On the other hand, the people of the Dawen Empire who are struggling in the disaster area, hungry and cold, their lives are hanging by a thread, and without this money to buy supplies, it is likely to cause a large number of victims to die, and it is more likely to cause unrest.

Funds are limited, if they are used separately and both are taken into account, it is obvious that the effect on both sides is not good, and only by concentrating forces and putting them on one side can this fund have the greatest effect.

The emperor and cabinet of the empire thought about it, but they still couldn't let go of their own people, and invested the money in the disaster area. As a result, a large number of enterprises are in trouble due to financial problems, and eventually lead to death. The Dawen Empire has once again made matters worse, and the economy of the entire empire has almost come to a standstill.

These enterprises contributed a steady stream of products to the empire when the empire needed them most, supporting the empire's wars, and when they needed the empire's support the most, they were abandoned by the empire for various reasons. As a result, both the owners and employees of these enterprises are full of complaints against the empire.

Although some people can understand the Empire's approach, the feeling of being abandoned is still very uncomfortable, and the New Year is approaching, and it is estimated that many people have not had a good year. Moreover, a large number of employees are unemployed and become unemployed, which will also have a certain impact on social stability, there is no such thing as unemployment benefits in the Dawen Empire, and if they are unemployed, everything will depend on themselves, and in the face of this situation, the top management of the empire is also very anxious.

Although there is gold plundered by Li Rujin from Africa, it will take time to turn this gold into cash before it can be invested in the enterprise.

Now the Dawen Empire is facing a great crisis, an economic crisis.

After listening to this, Li Rujin pondered for a while, and what was in front of him was indeed a huge crisis, and if he could not get through it peacefully, the harm caused by this crisis might be greater than that caused by a war.

But Li Rujin also saw a rare opportunity from this crisis, an opportunity for enterprises to reshuffle, and it must be a huge price to obtain this opportunity when the economy is operating normally.

Now this opportunity is in front of Li Rujin.

The enterprises of the Dawen Empire are now dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, and the large enterprises are basically zero, mainly the shackles of feudal society, and there is no soil for the survival of large enterprises, according to the development of history, the feudal society will eventually be replaced by capitalism, but the price paid is also very painful.

It will be a social change, and it will never be so easy for new things to replace old things, just like the African jungle, the birth of the lion king, is to pay a bloody price, sometimes even life.

If at this time, the top level of the Dawei Empire can reach a unified and implement political reforms from the top down, then there will be much less resistance, first, it can make the political system of the Dawen Empire more suitable for the country's economic development, and second, it can take this opportunity to establish a number of truly powerful and influential large state-owned enterprises. Let these large enterprises become the leaders of the empire's economic development.
