Washing his face with the water in the basin with his hand, Yang Congrong only felt comfortable, but did not feel as uplifted as he imagined. After washing his face several times, Yang Congrong just wanted to fall asleep in the basin. When I was busy with work at night, I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect that after dawn, I felt as if my body was hollowed out.

Finally lifting up some spirits, Yang calmly decided to go to sleep after the morning meeting. When I came back from overseas, I worked hard to enjoy a comfortable and stable life, and if I continued to work for 996, God knows if I will die young.

At the beginning of the morning meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the possibility of a war between the slave dynasty and the Mongols, and Yang calmly paid attention to the reaction of the ministers. But no one was surprised, and no one was elated. Everyone had a calm expression of 'I got it'. Yang Congrong was very puzzled in his heart, and he was a little angry about being ignored. Do these people think that it is easy for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to grasp the situation thousands of miles away?

After the topic of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was finished, the Ministry of Communications continued, "The traffic volume of the Tongji Canal is saturated, and the Ministry of Communications believes that it is necessary to increase the capacity of other canals. ”

Yang Congrong was quite surprised to see that many ministers were quite surprised, and he remembered the scene of entering the Tongji Canal from the north of the Yangtze River, and the canal was really full of boats. As I was reminiscing about the occasion, I heard the Minister of Transport continue: "In addition, the work of the Ministry of Telecommunications is very difficult for our Ministry of Communications. Recently, the speed and accuracy of telegram delivery have been greatly reduced, and it has begun to affect our normal work. ”

Someone fired the first shot, and other ministries followed suit, and you carried out a comprehensive attack on the Ministry of Telecommunications. Yang Congrong saw that even the Li Fan Department followed up and expressed his dissatisfaction, and looked at the Minister of Telecommunications who bowed his head and was silent, Yang Congrong found that it was difficult for him to sympathize with him. Not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, the overseas provinces of Europa attached great importance to the construction of telegraphs. Telecommunications efforts are in disarray, and the entire country is greatly affected.

The morning meeting was originally a notification mechanism, so that all departments of the Great Song Dynasty could understand the latest situation in the country. Yang calmly participated in a short time, and he didn't know that it was rare for the morning meeting to have such a one-sided criticism situation. When Yang calmly saw the Minister of Telecommunications raise his head and said with anger and despair, "Please don't stuff people with our Ministry of Telecommunications again", he was the second monk of Zhang, and he was puzzled.

"We'll talk about that later." Zhao Jiaren's words put an end to such an unusual situation, and the morning meeting continued to be carried out in accordance with the system.

At the end of the morning meeting, Zhao Jiaren, the two prime ministers, Zhao Qian, the Minister of Telecommunications, and the Minister of Finance, who was anxious to report the situation, gathered together. Zhao Jiaren asked people to bring a few plates of snacks first. Everyone took some to eat. The time of this morning meeting was unusually long because of the situation of attacking the Ministry of Telecommunications, and many people were hungry.

The Minister of Telecommunications knew what he was facing, he made five pieces of dim sum in a row, drank two cups of honey lemon tea, and felt confident in his stomach. Without waiting for everyone to ask, he himself spoke first, "Officials, everyone." Our telecommunications sector does have its own shortcomings, and I don't excuse that. But we are under a lot of pressure, and everyone knows that our telecom department is well paid and stable. During this expansion, too many people with connections stuffed people into our telecommunications department. These people can't compare with the kind of people who used to be recruited through exams. The training and induction time has gone according to the previous one, and now the situation is very bad. ”

After saying that, the Minister of Telecommunications looked at the crowd around him. Just before Wen Tianxiang was about to speak, the Minister of Telecommunications interjected again, "All departments are stuffing their children, relatives and friends into the telecommunications department, and our telecommunications department can't stop it, and there is no way to really save face for everyone." ”

Wen Tianxiang took the words back to his lips. This is rare for the bold Prime Minister Wen, Zhao Qian saw that Wen Tianxiang was still forced to shut up, and he was quite surprised in his heart, so he turned his gaze to his father. Seeing that the old father was still there, there was even an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. Zhao Qian was completely confused, so he could only look at the other ministers. Unlike the morning meeting, the other ministers also kept silent. Looking at the openness of the Minister of Telecommunications, who put life and death aside, there is a lot of freedom and ease of Zhuge Wuhou in the Three Kingdoms commentary 'Tongue War Group Confucianism'.

A rare silence shrouded the conference room, and the more he waited, the stronger Zhao Qian's curiosity became. Is it really the Minister of Telecommunications? It was Zhao Guanjia who came out to break the situation, Zhao Jiaren said: "Since the old assessment system has been difficult, has the remedial training and assessment mechanism been determined?" ”

The Minister of Telecommunications said bluntly: "Official, we also try our best to contact all walks of life, and also send people to inspect the localities. The problem now is that too many people want to rely on this errand and want to eat on a stable court errand. It's hard to get fired. I'll tell you the truth, if the dismissal is ordered now, it doesn't matter if most of the dismissals are made, and it's the ones who are admitted that don't matter. ”

Zhao Qian's heart was shocked, he hadn't heard such a big truth for a long time. Now he understands why the Minister of Telecommunications is at the center of criticism, but can silence many ministers. Looking at Daddy again, I saw that Daddy was really not angry, let alone nitpicking, and the little inexplicable smile even expanded at this time. Zhao Qian suddenly thought of the question he had been thinking about recently, why his father could monopolize power for decades. The old lady's evaluation is, 'Those people below can't fool your father'.

Take the matter in front of him as an example, if my father listens to the speeches of many ministers and angrily reprimands the Minister of Telecommunications, I am afraid that the matter in front of me will be dragged on immediately. With this idea, Zhao Qian became very interested. How many people were crammed into the Ministry of Telecommunications? Are these people really just taking money and not doing anything?

Unable to come up with a solution, the matter was resolved by the Ministry of Telecommunications. After the Minister of Telecommunications left, the Minister of Finance spoke of this year's currency issuance, "Official, the supply of silver has been greatly reduced since the start of the Japanese Civil War. If this continues, the amount of additional currency issuance this year will have to be reduced. ”

"Then reduce." Zhao Jiaren replied calmly.

"Now the number of people who eat the fiscal meal is increasing rapidly, if the monetary increase is reduced, the minister thinks...... Very unsettling. "The Minister of Finance expressed his attitude very implicitly.

"This kind of thing...... Everyone has to go through it. Zhao Jiaren's tone was still very calm.

Zhao Qian's heart beat faster by such a calm speech, with his understanding of his father, being able to say this means that the finance minister's worries are not groundless. Dad has repeatedly said that the collapse of any country begins with a fiscal collapse, can a fiscal crisis really be so easy to face?

Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang did not continue to be silent, he said loudly: "Official, many errands run by the imperial court back then were stuffed into countless private individuals, and as a result, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty withered. There is no way to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Zhao Qiangang felt that this suggestion was very correct, but he saw that the mysterious smile that had been expanded by his father continued to expand, turning into a smile mixed with ridicule and a little malice, "Lao Wen, let me say something that you may not be able to understand, any era has its own big pot of rice." In the agricultural era, there was a big pot of rice in the agricultural era, and in the industrial age, there was a big pot of rice in the industrial age. Feudalism has a big pot of feudalism, capitalism has a big pot of capitalism, and socialism, as long as it is not scientific socialism, there is a big pot of non-scientific socialism. There is a saying that the lower the efficiency, the better the effect. Ha ha. After speaking, Zhao Jiaren simply laughed to himself.

Everyone was puzzled by this passage, and everyone looked at Zhao Guan's family, who was calm enough to laugh, and couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, trying to find a little idea from others to solve Zhao Guan's words. Zhao Qian had the most confidence in his father, and he knew that he had the opportunity to get a detailed answer from his father, so he began to analyze the meaning of his father's words. Suddenly, Zhao Qian took out a small notebook and wrote a short paragraph.

Looking at the words 'the lower the efficiency, the better the effect' on the notebook, Zhao Qian had an urge to laugh. The previous discussion of 'big pot rice' was too theoretical, and Zhao Qian knew that his analysis was not clear, so he was unwilling to bother meaninglessly to understand it. However, "the lower the efficiency, the better the effect" is full of wonderful logical relationship and persuasiveness, especially not long ago, the Minister of Telecommunications left many ministers speechless with his personal account. It's a wonderful contrast.

"I wonder why the prince wants to laugh?" Wen Tianxiang asked, with a rather unhappy meaning in his tone.

Zhao Qian replied cheerfully: "I heard that the lower the efficiency of the official, the better the effect, I can't help but want to learn from Jiaye and smile." ”

These words made Zhao Jiaren laugh again.

"Hehe", Wen Tianxiang laughed, but he didn't smile at all, it became a sneer, "Official, but I don't know what the prince has comprehended?" ”

"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Zhao Jiaren replied easily.

Wen Tianxiang said 'hehe' again, "The official family has studied through the past and the present and opposes all feudal superstitions, how can I talk about the "Dafang Guang Buddha Huayan Sutra" here!" ”

Zhao Qian was immediately shocked. He just knew that the Buddhists used 'unspeakable' when they played the front, but he didn't expect that Wen Tianxiang and Prime Minister Wen had a very knowledgeable memory and an amazing memory, so he immediately made the source of this 'unspeakable' clear. It seems that the person who can be the prime minister under his own father is almost a monster.

looked at Daddy again, but saw that Daddy didn't smile this time, his expression had returned to his usual calmness, and then he listened to Daddy's calm and sharp tone and said: "I just wrap many thoughts and emotions with the lower the efficiency, the better the effect." It sounds wonderful, but it can actually be said. Everyone's opinion is different, so let me tell you what I think. ”

Zhao Qian hurriedly picked up a small notebook and prepared to record, and the others listened to Zhao Guan's lecture with bated breath, and there was only the rustle of the stenographer's pen writing quickly on the paper in the conference room.

"There is no organization in this world that can be more durable than the state, and the prime minister is right, the previous official errands of the Great Song Dynasty did cause the economy of the Great Song Dynasty to wither. However, this is also a bit of a reversal, the reason why there are official errands is to let those who are not able to open up have a stable big pot of rice to eat, so they use monopoly management to maintain the profits of big pot rice. Various monopoly systems locked up the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and a boat traveling on the Yangtze River had to be taxed dozens of times. I have broken the system that I have put in place to keep the pot of rice in stock, and I will never allow it to rush again. I tell you plainly that whoever tries to restore the previous monopoly system can go home and eat himself. It's not a joke. ”

Zhao Qian wanted to listen and take notes, but found that his attention was completely attracted by his father's speech, so he simply put down his pen and listened attentively.

"Our Great Song Dynasty has produced countless capable people over the years, and they have sailed overseas and made every effort to develop. I think the Great Shipping Routes will be completely open in the next 10 to 15 years, what do you think that means? ”

Listening to Zhao Jiaren's question, Wen Tianxiang said bluntly: "Please also ask the official family to speak directly." ”

"Good. In my opinion, this means the end of the era of profiteering. This means that this round of expansion based on the great geographical discoveries is almost at its limit. Once the expansion is reached to the limit, involution will begin in full swing. Now, even if the expansion is only close to the limit, there are signs of involution tendency. Many people are not able to participate in this big expansion, but everyone wants to live a stable and decent life. The more people who have seen what it means to live a stable and decent life, the stronger the need will be. The current expansion of the Ministry of Telecommunications has provided an opportunity to live such a life. It is inevitable to stuff people inside. I have also learned about some folk things, whether it is marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, as long as the children of the family have a serious state-run errand, the dowry and dowry have become real etiquette. No longer completely weighs down the breathless burden of a family. With the state-run errand guarantee, the children of those families can live a stable and decent life with the state, and those who do not strive for this opportunity will either have a better future or families who will not have the opportunity to participate. "The kind of fools who know that there is such a thing and don't participate are very few.

Everyone else in the conference room was silent, as if Zhao Jiaren was the only one talking. Zhao Qian admired his father very much in his heart, everyone felt that his father was high and a university scholar, so what he said should be subtle and righteous. However, Zhao Qian knew that what his father was saying now was his true words.

"Let's talk about the difficulties encountered by the Minister of Finance in the issuance of additional currency, which means that the imperial court cannot come up with more money. But now there are more and more people who want to rely on financial food, even if the money is not reduced, it means that the number of people who eat in this big pot of rice will be reduced. Do I need to talk about this simple arithmetic problem? ”

"Please let the official family be clear." Zhao Qian asked. He doesn't do the economy, and his mind is full of his father's words at this time, and he really doesn't have the energy to think about it extra.

"If it's 100 in the pot and there are 10 people in it, everyone gets 10. There are still 100 people in the pot, and 20 people will divide it, and each person will only get 5. If the previous 10 people still want to maintain their allocation of 10, the new 10 people will not get anything. But what do the new ten think? Zhao Qian, you come to answer me, how much do they expect to get their share? ”

Zhao Qian could only put down what he had heard before, and use his brain to think about his father's question. But I found that I didn't know how much the newcomers wanted to get. was anxiously starting to guess, when Wen Tianxiang replied: "Of course they think they should also get 10." ”

After listening to Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang's answer, Zhao Qian only felt suddenly enlightened. After a moment, he suddenly shuddered widely. Looking at his bare forearms under his short-sleeved clothes, which were densely covered with huge goosebumps. Yes, those newcomers want not 5, but the same 10 as their predecessors. This is the view of human nature.
