Chapter 54: Soldiers and Officials (5)
Li Boyu has encountered many things in his life, and it is the first time that he has been warned by his family. As for whether the source of the warning was Sima Kao or Zhao Guan's family, it no longer mattered, the old man was furious and said loudly: "Is he trying to threaten me?" ”
Sima Gong said, things have come to such a point, why make it unsightly. It is clear in the articles of association that if you are recorded as a major demerit, your treatment will be reduced. If you are notified and criticized after a major demerit, the house after Zhishi will be gone. Are so many people stupid? Everyone doesn't talk for a reason. Li Wan analyzed the situation in the capital.
Li Boyu stopped talking for the time being. He didn't expect his family to release such a reason, the house is indeed worth a lot of money, but a lot of money is even bought with the least integrity? Under such anger, Li Boyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he asked, "Did Sima Kao threaten you?" ”
Li Wan didn't answer immediately, she was silent for a while before she said: "Although the official family doesn't love Zhulian, the official family is also very assertive in many cases. ”
As soon as he said this, Li Boyu remembered the Shi Miyuan and Yu Tianci families who were killed not long ago. When Shi Miyuan and Yu Tianci colluded, they said that if the actions of the two were known, it would be the crime of clan punishment. Therefore, the Zhao official family openly used the case of Shi Miyuan colluding with Empress Dowager Yang to murder Han Yanxuan in the Jinshi exam question, and the smart people in the Shi family and the Yu family felt that the wind was not in the right direction. Before the Zhao official family closed the net, the smart people in these two families began to prepare to escape from the Great Song Dynasty, and ran away before the official family was ready to seize power.
However, the Shi family and the Yu family are not all smart people, some people feel that their bloodline is far away, and some think that the official family will not do it, and these people are miserable. As Shi Miyuan said back then, the Zhao official family carried out clan punishment against the Shi family and the Yu family.
For such an official, Li Boyu did not think that Zhao Jiaren would be magnanimous to the enemy. As far as Li Boyu knows, the Zhao Guanjia is very cruel to internal and external enemies.
Before she knew what to say, Li Wan got up and said goodbye. Li Boyu's wife came in with food at this time, and was surprised to see Li Wan leave like this. To Mrs. Li's surprise, Li Boyu didn't eat either, so she saw him stand up and go straight to the bedroom without saying a word, and he fell asleep like this.
As for opponents, Zhao Jiaren never had the luxury of expecting them to not exist. Therefore, Zhao Jiaren is always ready to fight against opponents, and people like Li Boyu will not even make Zhao Jiaren feel any interest.
At this time, the Ministry of Officials had already sent a list, which was densely packed with officials and cadres who had reached retirement age. Liu Meng was a little worried, and he said restlessly: "Official, the pension of these people is not a small amount. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren responded. These problems are his worst enemies, and if there is sufficient financial revenue, all problems are not problems. Is it difficult to solve a problem that can be solved with money? The problem is that there is not enough money.
"Official, these people are in a position, and they only need to give them a piece of money......"
Zhao Jiaren interrupted Liu Meng's words, "Since these people can't do things, the people who do the work have to give another money." And what good is it for the imperial court to let them have a vegetarian meal? ”
"But the imperial court has no income now. Official, your share in the Maritime Safety Bureau has also been used cleanly. Unless we can open two or three more Sado Islands in the Japanese country, we really don't have any money. "Liu Meng was born as a cadre and knows much more about the overall situation than officials.
"This money is nothing, as long as you wait another year, the houses in Hangzhou will start to sell well, and the money will be earned back in a blink of an eye."
"The house in Hangzhou is so expensive, who would pay so much." Liu Meng was very unimpressed by this.
"Not necessarily. The key is to see how to pay. And the priority at the moment is not such an official, that is, to overissue some money, and the money of these people is enough. There are two major priorities at the moment, the first of which is production and taxation in the Huanghuai Plain. The second is the matter of expansion in the South China Sea. I have been operating in the South China Sea for so long that we can no longer use such simple means, but dig deeper. ”
"Dig deeper? What gold and silver are there in the ground? Liu Mengden became interested. Ever since he became the owner of Sado Island, he has had a deep respect for the island. Even the most barren islands are likely to contain something of great value.
For this kind of estrangement of the times, Zhao Jiaren is very helpless. In the 21st century, when it comes to digging deep, most of the things that people can think of are 'digging deep potential', and they don't think of specific things like mining. So Zhao Jiaren directly explained in words that Liu Meng could understand, "Do you think it's a lack of money now?" ”
"Yes." Liu Meng replied simply.
"The lack of money is just a symptom, and the most important thing now is how to issue banknotes. In other words, after I issue the banknote, is there any product that can correspond to the banknote? If the number of things that can be brought back from the South China Sea is doubled every year, we can easily issue tens of millions of extra tens of millions of yuan in banknotes, and the pensions of these officials and cadres are only a few dollars, and it is easy to settle the accounts. ”
Liu Meng was already a very experienced cadre under Zhao Jiaren, and even so, he felt that his thinking could not keep up with Zhao Guanjia's thinking at all. After thinking about it, Liu Meng still didn't understand. He couldn't help but think back to the past, when Liu Meng couldn't understand why the Zhao Guanjia had to establish the concept that the earth under their feet was a round ball.
At that time, Liu Meng thought about whether the ground under his feet was round or not and Liu Meng had a hairy relationship. For so many years, Liu Meng didn't know that the earth under his feet was round, so he didn't eat and sleep and thrive.
Recalling such similar feelings, Liu Meng decided to change his mind. He continued to ask, "Official, what do you think I should do?" ”
"You should do your job now, and find out the competent officials and cadres. Only when the officials and cadres are capable, and only when the officials and cadres know what we have to do, can we accomplish what we have to do. ”
"What does the official family want to do?" Liu Meng asked.
"Of course, I want to build a country where everyone can live a good life. I want the country to be reasonable, and no one will be bullied. Good people can be rewarded. Have you ever heard the saying that justice delayed is not justice? I even hope that there will be justice in this country. ”
Liu Meng was already stunned, what Zhao Guanjia said was very sincere, and it sounded like good words. The only problem is that Liu Meng doesn't understand what Zhao Guanjia is saying these unenforceable words for. So Liu Meng asked, "Official, what should I do?" ”
"Simple. I wrote a draft of the national speech on the 320th anniversary of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, you can help me take a good look at it. You don't need to look at whether the words are good, you can see if they are simple and easy to understand. Zhao Jiaren gave Liu Meng a completely executable plan.
