Chapter Seventy-One: New Coins
The first to break the dull atmosphere of the conference room was Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Zhidong's speech was impassioned, so that Li Yi listened to a feeling of impulsiveness, excitement, and enthusiasm, which Li Yi couldn't say, which made Li Yi very impressed by Zhang Zhidong, although people are arrogant, but they do have the ability to be arrogant.
"Vice Chairman Zhang's speech is very good and encouraging, and I will be relieved that I will hand over the work of the government to you." Li Yi said.
Zhang Zhidong became excited after hearing this, his body trembled a little, and he wanted to be as reserved as possible, but happiness came too quickly, and he could no longer hide the excitement of joy in his heart on his face, and covered his mouth with his hands to hide his exposed smile as much as possible.
"If you want to get rich, build roads first! With the development of overseas trade, the tax revenue of our Guangzhou port is much more than in previous years, and in addition to the ones handed over to the imperial court, there are also a lot of surpluses that can support the road construction plan. Zhang Zhidong suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone: "There is also this bank, and the plan to issue new currency must also be under the supervision of the government, I think it is best for the government to come forward to open a bank." ”
"No!" Buffon stood up and interrupted Zhang Zhidong: "Your government only needs to do its job well, you don't need to stretch your hand too long, the bank can be under your supervision, but the right to start must be all private capital." ”
"And!" Jenna also stood up and said: "The government should also be reformed according to the plan, and the government also needs to be supervised. ”
When Zhang Zhidong heard this, he didn't have to hide his good mood, he slipped away, and immediately became angry, good guy, this not only wants to restrain the rights of the government, but also puts a tight spell on us, if this is the case, then it will be repaid, and he is not restricted everywhere in doing things, his face was flat, and he said sharply: "The government has a set of governments, but not everyone can be qualified to manage the government, not to mention you guys who don't even know etiquette and morality!" ”
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger, and Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward to suppress it: "What you both said makes sense, I think we need to standardize the duties and powers of the government, the authority of the government cannot be provoked, but the government cannot be without constraints, so I will come up with a plan as soon as possible, and after it is passed, we will implement it according to this standard!" ”
Although Li Yi said righteous words on his lips, he was not biased in both aspects, but his heart was happy, and he originally put forward a tight spell to the government, but it was proposed by Buffon and Jenner, so that he could handle it much easier, and it seems that mutual supervision within the party is indispensable, and the stricter the supervision, the higher the transparency.
"Actually, no matter how well we say it, it is just wishful thinking without the approval of the imperial court, there are many plans in it, and it seems that it is difficult to be approved by the imperial court now." Zhang Zhidong also knew that if the vote passed, he would have no chance of victory, so he had to take out the court to block it.
"Building bridges and roads is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but to relocate the people in the mountainous areas, this project is too big, the cost is too big, the plan is very good, but it is a little unrealistic!"
Li Yi understood that Zhang Zhidong was a counterattack to him who he did not support just now, Li Yi smiled slightly: "The imperial court will not pass, then we will find a way to let the imperial court pass, no matter how difficult it is to relocate, we must also overcome the difficulties, we will build a new city in the south of Guangdong, that is, opposite Hong Kong, where we will open some factories one after another, and it is completely okay to relocate millions of people in the past." ”
Zhang Zhidong didn't believe that Li Yi had a way to get the imperial court to agree to so many plans, and it took a lot of effort to get the imperial court to approve the opening of a bank, and it took a lot of effort to mint new coins, mainly because of the great dumping of Qing goods by various countries, and the price of silver has appreciated by more than 20% in the past two years, and there has been a serious shortage of currency in the country. ”
Li Yi smiled and motioned to Buffon to answer Zhang Zhidong's question about funds. Buffon got up and said confidently: "After we open a bank, we will issue a new Guangxu Longyang, and we will stop using copper coins in Liangguang, our Longyang is a copper-silver alloy, and the copper content reaches one into three, we estimate that the silver in Liangguang will be more than one billion taels, so that we can have an extra profit of 100 million taels of silver, and cancel the copper coin."
"Stop! Stop! Zhang Zhidong couldn't listen to it anymore, this yellow-haired ghost was ashamed to stop using copper coins, it was simply playing the piano randomly, "You said you stopped using copper coins, what did you use?" Is it all silver? Do you know how many copper coins there are in Liangguang? ”
"Vice Chairman Zhang, don't worry, we already have a countermeasure, that is, to use aluminum money instead of copper money!"
"What aluminum? The metal that is more expensive than gold? Zhang Zhidong is still very familiar with aluminum, so he bought a piece of aluminum at a high price of gold and saved it.
"Yes! It's aluminum! Buffon smiled: "We already have a way to produce aluminum in large quantities, and we use aluminum to make coins, and I believe that countries will also recognize it." ”
Zhang Zhidong felt a little crazy today, his heavy collection of aluminum to replace copper to use, aluminum is still a high metal in various countries, Zhang Zhidong still a little unbelievable, "If you can really let aluminum money replace copper money, I promise to fully support!" ”
"Since everyone has no opinions, then this plan will be implemented!" Li Yi changed his words and said sternly: "If you want to reform, you must first change the government yamen, how to change, Zhan Na is responsible for supervision, and Vice Chairman Zhang fully cooperates." If I hear that place is dragging my feet, I will not be merciful! ”
"As for the imperial court, don't worry, there will be action tomorrow, and it is estimated that the imperial court will change its mind and support the reform in a few days!" Li Yi's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Of course, many details still depend on Vice Chairman Zhang, how hard Vice Chairman Zhang has worked!" ”
