Yu Guozhen controls some industries in his hands, and these industries are often the most profitable, which everyone present understands. In fact, some scholars and doctors of the previous dynasty once said sourly that Yu Guozhen competed with the people with the respect of the royal family, and asked him to distribute these properties to the people - in fact, they were distributed to these scholars, and how could the ordinary people have the spare money and energy to buy and operate these industries, and in the end they did not fall into their hands!

This abacus is wishful, especially since they also colluded with some of Yu Guozhen's shopkeepers who presided over the industry, so that these shopkeepers could exert influence on Yu Guozhen together. In their opinion, Yu Guozhen would not have noticed this detail, but they did not know that Yu Guozhen, who had harvested the wealth of the state under various names and did not hesitate to toss and dismember a superpower for this purpose, knew their intentions better than themselves.

Sooner or later, most of the industries controlled by Yu Guozhen will be returned to the people who create wealth, and the profits they earn will either be used as investment in education, or as medical funds, or as pensions. Therefore, this kind of clever pretense to carve up his property is actually to carve up the expectations of the Chinese people in the future, Yu Guozhen's blow to this kind of person is like thunder, if he just shouts two sentences, then it will be fine, if he dares to really stretch out his hand, then the exile is still light!

Now, after eight years of hard work, Yu Guozhen feels that he can start to realize his plan step by step.

"You may only know the name of Huaxia Iron and Steel, but you don't know the fact, I can tell you that Huaxia Iron and Steel has jurisdiction over 49 mines, eight iron and steel plants, eight river and sea wharves, and now there are 119,000 managers and craftsmen, and last year's net income was 910,000 gold yuan."

There was a gasp below.

Iron and steel is precious for any country, even if it is an enemy country at war with China, it will not prohibit the import of iron from China, Huaxia Iron and Steel relies on China's strong transportation capacity, as well as the huge advantages of industrialization, and sells iron tools to all parts of the world. This near-dumping sale also brought huge profits to the iron works and iron factories collectively known as Huaxia Iron and Steel.

Last year, the annual revenue of the Huaxia Imperial Court was four million gold yuan, and the income of Huaxia Iron and Steel was close to a quarter of it!

"But I handed over Huaxia Iron and Steel to the public treasury, not that I completely handed it over, those who want to embezzle the wealth of Huaxia like drifting away from the Ming Dynasty military salary beware, I will hand it over, it is up to me and the imperial court to jointly send people to supervise, the imperial court gets half of the net income from Huaxia Iron and Steel every year, and the other half is at the disposal of Huaxia Iron and Steel itself, and half of the imperial court can only be used for the people's education, medical care and widow pension!"

This made the heads of the ministries, who were originally excitedly pondering how to fight for the interests of their departments, only the heads of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health laughed.

"This time it is Huaxia Iron and Steel, and four years later, Huaxia Steamship will also return to the public." Yu Guozhen did not pause, and continued: "After that, once every four years, most of the industries under my direct control will be returned to the public, and the distribution of the proceeds will be supervised by me and the successor emperor for the benefit of the people. The Huaxia Dynasty does not raise lazy people, but the Huaxia Dynasty wants to let every person who is willing to work hard have the opportunity to move up! ”

When these words fell, the applause was like thunder.

Wang Fuzhi applauded the hardest, he had studied the ancient kings, and hated the kind of one-man emperor who gave the wealth of a country to the favor of one person, like Yu Guozhen, who used his own industry to feed the Chinese people, which is unique.

While applauding, he praised: "Sure enough, there are saints, and there are saints!" ”

Under Yu Guozhen's signal, the applause gradually stopped, and Yu Guozhen said on the main seat: "I am not a saint, I did this because of selfishness, I hope that the people will have a chance to go up, so that they will not choose to choose, and the imperial business of my Yu family can be passed on for a long time." I handed over Huaxia Iron and Steel, but just this year, I established Huaxia Electric and Yanhuang Electric - you all know that in the future, electricity will be popular in the world, so electricity and electrical appliances will become a new source of wealth for the royal family. Therefore, what I do is not a saint, but because I know very well that only the great public can be selfish, and the selflessness of the great public is what the saint does, I am an ordinary person, and most of us are ordinary people, and it is too tiring to learn to be a saint, but it is always okay to be an ordinary person with a long-term vision! ”

His words moved everyone, there is never a shortage of people in the world who demand others according to the standards of saints, but everyone knows that this is impossible, that is, Confucius is known as a saint, and he loves food and beauty.

"Only when wealth is great can there be great selfishness, and the same is true for power." When Yu Guozhen said this, his voice changed and he turned to the topic.

After all, this is a joint conference of policies, and the disposal of wealth is not the main content, and those who are a little scattered because of the applause suddenly sit up straight.

"Eight years ago, I said that I would be the first assistant, and some people said that I was too much power, and I admitted this stigma, because eight years ago, everything was in ruins, and we had no experience in governing a country, so I had to take power. Now it's different, according to the agreement I made eight years ago, I will resign and be replaced by another person. I have nominated Wang Chuanlu and Zhang Chi, and I will decide who is the power of the first assistant, and I will hold a referendum with you, and you will be able to hold a referendum in a while, and fill in the name of the person you approve of on the public list you have obtained. Only one person can be filled, and those who do not fill in or fill in two or more people will be abstained. ”

Yu Guozhen said as he gestured to the public lift sheet in his hand.

Most of the councillors had already gone through the voting process, so they were no strangers to it, everything was in order, and soon, all the votes went into the ballot box, and then someone counted the votes, and someone scrutinized the votes, and after only ten minutes, the results came out: Wang Chuanyu was elected.

Zhang Chi looked at the election results with some loss.

He was reinstated with hope, but the result left him with regrets. Among Yu Guozhen's several subordinates, he is the oldest, he is now fifty-eight years old, he secretly calculated in his heart, if Wang Chuanlu served two terms for eight years, he would be sixty-six years old at that time, according to Yu Guozhen's previous statement, it is not suitable to hold heavy positions after the age of seventy, at that time, his hope is even more slim.

Wang Chuanyu stood up with a flushed face, he looked at Yu Guozhen, and wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Yu Guozhen's applause.

Wang Chuanlu knew that Yu Guozhen did pay more attention to Zhang Chi, but not because Zhang Chi's ability was stronger than him, but because Zhang Chi was more able to make Yu Guozhen play a role - Zhang Chi could only be the purest executor, and he Wang Chuanlu could not compare to Zhang Chi in this regard.

Therefore, he originally thought that he was only promoted by Yu Guozhen to play the role of accompanying the prince to study, and even if he became the first assistant, it should be four or eight years later. Unexpectedly, the result of the referendum selected him. This was not what Yu Guozhen intended, so he wanted to resign from this position.

But Yu Guozhen's applause made him suddenly understand something.

Yu Guozhen's control of the consultation is completely capable of deciding who is elected, but Yu Guozhen did not show any bias this time, and really put the decision of the first assistant into the hands of everyone present. This is Yu Guozhen's established plan, now it is only 700 people present, eight years later it will be 1,500 people present, and after a longer time, it is very likely that he will become the whole world!

Fang Cai Yu Guozhen emphasized that wealth belongs to the public, and power also belongs to the public, isn't this exactly what it means?

"Please give a speech to the new prince and say a few words to everyone." Yu Guozhen said again after the applause stopped.

Wang Chuanyu looked at a podium placed under Yu Guozhen's seat, he got up, walked there, first bowed to Yu Guozhen, and then turned back to bow to everyone.

"I have mixed feelings about being here today, and I really don't know what to say." Wang Chuanyu did not prepare the draft, so it was improvised, but fortunately, after so many years of experience, he would not have stage fright, and he was still organized and concise. According to Yu Guozhen's regulations, each person was not allowed to speak at the meeting for more than 10 minutes, so he first thanked Yu Guozhen, then thanked the counselors present, and then thanked Zhang Chi. Next, he briefly talked about his preparations for governance, which Yu Guozhen asked the two of them to make when he nominated him and Zhang Chi.

In Wang Chuanyu's preparations, the departments of the current central center of China will be changed, and the Ministry of Electric Power and the Ministry of Public Welfare will be added. Although the second ministry was added, Wang Chuanlu came up with a set of data to show that the addition of the second ministry would not increase the financial burden of the imperial court, because the manpower of the second ministry could be completely transferred from the existing ministries and bureaus, and the personnel of certain ministries and bureaus that seemed to be a little out of place due to the development of the times would be adjusted.

Yu Guozhen listened to his speech, and there was a slight astringency in his heart.

If it was Zhang Chi, he would never make such a change, all Zhang Chi would do was Xiao Gui Cao Sui.

Wang Chuanyu's new establishment of two new ministries is naturally correct, even if he does not propose it, Yu Guozhen himself will suggest it, but whether this decision is proposed by others or by himself, the effect is still not ordinary.

But those astringencies only flashed in Yu Guozhen's heart. In its place, there was another thought, which had been swirling in his head for a long time, but only now, that it was truly settled.

He is now in his forties, in the prime of life, with strong self-control, and his reason has reached the most mature time, and he still feels sour because of power, so when he reaches his old age, especially after the age of seventy, how do you know that there will be some comatose and crazy things? With his prestige, his influence, and his power, as long as one person is the slightest careless, or even just a little radical, I am afraid that millions of people will die!

Wang Chuanyu only took eight minutes to express his meaning clearly, in addition to adding two more departments, he was quite cautious, and did not take too many measures, on top of the big policy, it was still very clear that he wanted to "follow the edict", that is, to follow Yu Guozhen's meaning.

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Yu Guozhen and bowed to the audience, and the applause sounded like thunder, and everyone understood that the Huaxia Dynasty would enter a new stage.

What will China look like in another eight years?
