The controversy over the attack of the Japanese pirates continued until Wu Feng returned to Beijing, and a consensus was even formed in the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Council of Citizens on speeding up the construction of a navy to ensure the sovereignty of the Imperial Maritime Frontier, and they were ready to sign and raise it when His Majesty the Emperor returned to Beijing to start the dynasty.

This is Wufeng's first time in the court after returning to Yanjing from Jiangnan, although the major political affairs are always reported to Wufeng who stays in Jiangnan, but many trivial affairs are slowly retained, saying that it is a trivial matter, but most of the things that can really be discussed in the court affairs are related to the national economy and people's livelihood in a place, and they cannot be ignored at all. It can be said that the court affairs that have accumulated for several months need to be discussed one by one during this day, and Wu Feng also knows that today must be an extremely hard day, but if he returns to Yanjing and does not make love with the concubines who have been absent for a long time, he can't say anything, especially the pregnant queen Angel.
One night**, Wufeng is Longwei Dasheng, even the seventh daughter, Situ Yutang, who is the imperial concubine, and Lin Yuexin, who is already still breastfeeding, are the first time to even the bed, Angel is also strong to please Lang Jun, and the joy is dispersed overnight, Sanyang true qi has reached the state of refining qi and transforming gods, and it has no impact on Wufeng's spirit, but is more energetic, and Sanyang true qi is gradually showing its advantages at this time.
It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is in a very good mood, and he is also handy in handling court affairs, almost one by one, even Xiao Tang and Bo Jinchen are overjoyed that Wu Feng has come back from this trip to Jiangnan.
"Xiao Tang has done a very good job in this northern disaster relief, and the Government Council has gone all out to avoid the disorderly flow of displaced people as much as possible, if the displaced people in that government have failed to provide disaster relief or have no management to cause changes in the livelihood of the displaced people, the Supervision Yuan must strictly investigate and deal with it, and will not be merciless! Ling Fox Wing, you can send those supervision envoys of yours to the lowest level to understand the people's situation, don't sit in the city all day and listen to those officials boasting about themselves, if there is evidence to prove that their work is not effective, I tell you, you can't get out of it! Although the attitude is kind, but Wu Feng's tone of words is extremely cold, the first thing Wu Feng did when he returned to Yanjing was to understand the disaster relief situation in the north, and even after being happy with Angel, when the two hugged each other and slept together, Wu Feng was also discussing this matter with Angel, which shows his concern about this matter.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has just returned from Beiping, although Yanyun has suffered a rare drought in history, but the vast majority of local officials at all levels are quite conscientious in their duties, and a very small number of those who dare to break into the limelight, the minister has ordered the supervisor to be dismissed on the spot first, and it will be handed over to the trial court for disposal after the investigation is clear. The subordinates of the minister did not dare to wander leisurely in the city as His Majesty said, and they all went to various towns and villages to understand the situation, and reported every three days, which the minister can guarantee. ”
Ling Fox Wing hurriedly came out to clarify. What kind of person is Gu Quan, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Administration, the brother of Gu Ji, a close friend of His Majesty before his career, and the Southwest War Affairs Reporting Department made a mistake, and the Supervision Yuan only intervened in the investigation, and truthfully reported the situation to His Majesty, who was still staying in Yuhang, and a few days later, an edict was issued to remove Gu Quan from his post as the director of the General Intelligence Administration. His Majesty's brother-in-law of the Emperor was still removed from his post and retained for inspection, and he made meritorious contributions to his crimes, causing a political earthquake in Yanjing, and the left and right envoys of the Privy Council and the director of the War Readiness Logistics Department also hurriedly wrote to ask for punishment, but fortunately His Majesty was left in the middle of the country and did not break it, otherwise this turmoil would really cause the first political storm since the establishment of the empire.
His Majesty the Emperor seems to be in a good mood at the moment, but if he really violates the rules, he will not slack off at all.
"Well, Ling Huyi, it is even more necessary to strengthen supervision over officials in various places, especially the officials of Yanyun and Beiyuan counties, now is the time of crisis, and it is also a critical period to test the character of local officials, if there is a offender, it will not be tolerated!" If they perform well, I will never treat them badly, I can clearly tell the secretaries here, the secretaries may wish to bring a message to the officials below, I have a position waiting for them in my hands, the empire itself is still a vacancy in the position of the city guard, at present, the empire is expanding millions of square kilometers in the west, Solian and Punja are about to build counties, South India De'an and West India De'an are thousands of miles of fertile fields, Merry has already surrendered, Cui Wenxiu has repeatedly asked me to send local officials to manage, I am still hesitating where so many officials to go? As long as they are virtuous and talented, I will never hesitate to give, for fear that they will not have that ability!"
Wu Feng's words immediately attracted a group of ministers in the palace, this is the first time that His Majesty the Emperor has publicly responded to the matter of Solian and Punja Jianjun on an official occasion, and now he has added West Indiadean, South India Dean and Melli, although the matter of the empire's control of Melly has been spread in Yanjing, but the taste is very different from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minister has always wanted to clarify one thing, so many gentry and businessmen have come to ask the minister about the establishment of the administrative region of the Indean region, they have a lot of investment in the Indean region, and they are quite concerned about this issue, and have always hoped that the empire can give an accurate definition, so that they can feel at ease. I wonder if His Majesty has a detailed timetable for dealing with the problems in the Indean region?" "The one who came forward to invite was Zeng Guohong, the Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Empire, who was also an old minister of the former dynasty, and had maintained a fairly good relationship with Wufeng before the establishment of the empire, and he also remained as the Minister of Commerce and Trade after the establishment of the empire.
"The matter asked by Lord Zeng has also been discussed with me, although there is no accurate timetable, but I also have a rough plan in my heart, and I estimate that I will soon give the people a satisfactory answer, Lord Zeng may wish to inform those gentry and merchants that no matter what method the empire eventually adopts to manage this area, their interests and property empire will give absolute guarantees, and they should rest assured that it is only right to focus on how to make more money. "Wu Feng has also been prepared for a long time, and it will not leak.
"Your Majesty, the opinion on the reform of the currency system of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Reich has been studied and approved by the executive meeting of the Imperial Council and submitted to Your Majesty for reading, I do not know what Your Majesty thinks of this plan, if Your Majesty has no other objections, I beg Your Majesty to issue it as soon as possible, so that the reform of the currency system can be completed as soon as possible. ”
Finance Minister Tian Yi and Central Bank Governor James also came out to raise another important agenda item for the meeting. Currency reform has been put on the agenda before the establishment of the empire, because the imperial currency has been used in the previous dynasty, and with the further increase of commercial circulation, the imperial gold coin using metal currency has become more and more incompatible with the needs of economic development, although the development of bank money makes a large amount of money circulation can be settled by checks and bills of exchange, but a small amount of cash flow still takes gold coins, which itself contains precious metals of the currency circulation, this way is more and more inconvenient for businessmen, so the imperial treasury and the imperial central bank have been planning to issue paper money to replace the inconvenient use of imperial gold coins, denominations from one gold coin to one hundred gold coins, which can greatly facilitate the business of merchants.
Due to the issuance of paper money needs to be prepared with gold reserves to prevent currency depreciation, the early period of the empire has been unable to achieve balance of payments due to the initial construction and war consumption, so this plan has also been in the air, unable to be implemented, and now from the South Indian region of the Tik treasury has made the imperial treasury more substantial, the newly revised "Imperial Bank Act" The reserve system also requires that the reserves of private banks must be stored in the imperial treasury in the form of gold, which greatly increases the amount of gold in the imperial treasury, and the news from the Meili side is also good, so Tian Yi and James hope to complete this currency reform plan as soon as possible at this time.
"Well, now that the time is ripe, this currency reform plan should be able to be implemented, I am accurate, after the dissolution of the dynasty, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank will be responsible for the implementation, paper money and gold coins can be circulated at the same time, but it is necessary to gradually reduce the circulation of gold coins, mainly paper money, supplemented by gold coins, to ensure that the exchange of paper money to gold coins is absolutely equivalent, and the Ministry of the Interior must severely punish those who take the opportunity to make trouble!"
"Your Majesty, the negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nanyang Alliance on the sovereignty of the Marbun Islands have been concluded, signed by both sides, and officially entered into force on August 1. Foreign Minister Wang Yi came forward to make an invitation.
"Well, the Government Council and the Privy Council on the islands assigned to the Empire can consult in advance, solicit the opinions of the navy, and seize the time to implement the development on the premise of giving priority to ensuring the needs of the navy, so as to ensure that these islands can play a role as soon as possible. ”
Negotiations with the South Sea Alliance on the sovereignty of the Marbun Islands also went through several twists and turns, and finally ended with the concession of the South Sea Alliance, and the empire obtained most of the islands it wanted to acquire, especially some islands that were important for exploring the depths of the southern seas fell into the hands of the empire, which was also a great victory in the history of imperial diplomacy.
