Chapter 268: Political Avoidance
Yu Ren didn't pay attention to him either. He knew that none of them would understand why he was spending money on such a seemingly useless project at a time when there was money everywhere.
Yu Ren couldn't explain it to them. Because he really can't guarantee that the 30,000 taels of silver will not be spent in vain, and whether they will give him results. But he also knew that this thing had to be done, and the sooner the better, and the more they had to do it when they were in difficulty.
On the third day, they discussed some details of the implementation, including personnel and costs. Listening to Yu Ren describe the future situation in Taiwan to them, several people were extremely excited, although it was late at night, everyone did not feel sleepy at all.
Seeing that the moon outside the window had risen in the sky again, Yu Ren stood up and stretched.
"Alright! That's all I have to say! The issues that should be discussed are almost discussed. Finally, I would like to mention one more thing. It's about Ji'an.
I proposed that Shengjian be the Deputy Prime Minister of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and help me deal with foreign affairs. What are your opinions? ”
Several people nodded in agreement. After all, Huang Ji'an's ability is obvious to all.
Xu Qian suddenly stood up at this time, "Brother-in-law, in the past few days, I have been holding back a sentence in my heart and wanting to ask you, but I have endured it until now." Since my brother-in-law is now mentioning personnel appointments, I can't help but say it. ”
Yu Ren thought that Xu Qian had some misunderstanding about Huang Ji'an, but he didn't stop her. "Okay, you can say it!"
Xu Qian's face was red and slightly excited. "Yes, Ji'an is capable and meritorious. However, there is one person who is more capable than Ji'an, and after we arrive in Tamsui, if it weren't for her tireless work and the local people in all directions, I'm afraid that our life today would not be so stable. If you want to talk about merit, among those of us, I'm afraid that except for your brother-in-law, it will be her turn.
You have elevated those of us who are inferior in talent and merit to high positions. May I ask my brother-in-law, what place did you leave for her? Why, she didn't come to such an important meeting as these days? ”
Yu Ren sighed softly and didn't speak, of course he knew who Xu Qian was talking about. But he didn't want to explain it on such an occasion.
Other people also understood Xu Qian's words. They all know it in their hearts, but their minds are different.
Yu Ren looked out the window, and he saw a familiar shadow flashing under the moon. He waved his hand behind him a little gloomily.
"It's all gone!"
The crowd stopped talking and walked out silently. When they passed by the small courtyard, they saw a person standing in the courtyard, and they greeted her one after another, looking very respectful. Even Liu Long, who has never been very harmonious with Yu Ren, also snorted at her respectfully.
Everyone left, only Xu Qian didn't leave.
"Now everybody's gone. You say! Why don't you let Sister Ying join us in the discussion? Why not let her hold a high position? ”
Yu Ren looked at Xu Qian, not knowing how to explain it to her. Xu Qian is indeed very smart and talented, but she must be only sixteen years old, and she can't think of or understand some things about human nature. Of course, Yu Ren knew the importance of Li Ying in the Xu family, and the contribution she made to the Xu family after she came to the Xu family. Especially this time in the south, if Li Ying had not shared the burden with him and solved the problem of gaining a quick foothold in Taiwan, it was unlikely that they would have been able to defeat his second uncle Yu Zhigao so smoothly, and the situation would not have stabilized so quickly.
However, Yu Ren knows very well that the greater the contribution of the husband and wife to the Xu family, the more they will be suspicious of some people. Other people's suspicion is okay, and the last thing he wants to see is that Xu Keming is also suspicious of his husband and wife. After all, he is the current boss of the Xu Group and the successor of the stall in the future. No matter how hard he Yu Ren works now, how powerful he is, in the end, all of this will still be in the hands of him Xu Keming.
Although there is no indication that Xu Keming is suspicious of him, it can be seen from Liu Long's strong recommendation for decentralization this time, and Xu Keming has never said a word. Yu Ren speculated that at least Xu Keming did not trust him as much as he seemed on the surface.
"You go too!" In the face of Xu Qian's questioning, Yu Ren did not answer, and he could not answer. He didn't want to speak ill of Xu Keming, let alone let Xu Qian and her brother have a discord. What's more, this is just a guess on your own.
"No! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I, I'm not going to leave today. After speaking, Xu Qian sat down on the chair again.
Yu Ren didn't speak again. He turned his back to Xu Qian and looked at the moonlight outside the window. At this moment, he suddenly realized that some things were really not as simple as he thought. Once upon a time, when I first came into this world. He thought that he could be a peaceful second lord, and he, a son of a poor family, could finally live the life of the second generation of officials that everyone envied before, without pressure and worry!
However, after experiencing countless storms and storms, he felt that the pressure on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. He became more and more aware that that kind of carefree pastoral life, in this world, may always be a beautiful dream. So, he wanted to use the power and power in his hands to make a lot of money, and then find a paradise where he could do some scientific and technological research. In the end, he was able to get closer to the modern life he had lost, and away from all kinds of corrupt officials.
However, three days ago, Liu Long suddenly made a strong request to divide power for himself. Yu Ren suddenly realized that what he was thinking was still too simple. Some things and some people, if you don't simply do it for their good, others will trust you.
The ideal small world that seems to be more advanced, more comfortable, and more civilized that seems to be easy to achieve is not as easy to build as he imagined, even if he now has a huge amount of money.
Yu Ren looked at the starry sky outside the window, and he didn't know when he would be able to really fly into the sky again. This was his first wish after arriving in Daming, which originated from the flight test in Hangzhou. He hopes that one day, he can build an airplane in the true sense of the word and take himself to the sky, and he even wants to build a batch of civil aircraft to shorten the distance between this world.
"Xiaoqian, don't force him. He also has his difficulties. Yu Ren was thinking about his plane when Li Ying suddenly walked in.
"Sister Ying, I'm holding grievances for you. If not. I'll give you my seat! I think it's much more suitable for you to sit in my seat than I am. I don't understand anything, and sitting in this seat is just a virtual thing. Xu Qian saw Li Ying walk in, and hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Li Ying glanced at Yu Ren. Yu Ren had already turned around, but he still didn't speak.
"No need. I worked so hard with Xianggong not to compete for any position. The second uncle is kind to us, and we do this just to repay the second uncle's kindness to us at the beginning. In addition, many of my brothers and sisters here also followed me in the first place, and everyone is like a family. I don't want to see them hurt in any way.
In my heart and Xianggong's heart, as long as the Xu family develops well, you and Keming live well, and your brothers and sisters live well, we can be regarded as fulfilling our wishes.
At the beginning, I insisted on going my own way, and for my personal grievances, I buried the lives of thousands of brothers in vain, and to this day, I still feel ashamed of them. Now, I follow Xianggong's hard work, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the mistakes I made in the beginning! ”
Xu Qian held Li Ying's hand, "Sister, how can you think like this!" Yes, my father has some kindness to you and your brother-in-law, but you and your brother-in-law are even more kind to our Xu family! You have paid so much for our Xu family, but we are reluctant to give even a seat, I feel very sorry for you in my heart. No, if he doesn't agree to this, I'll talk to my brother about it. ”
"Politics is so ruthless sometimes." Yu Ren suddenly interjected. "We are now building a form of government, not the merchant corps of the past. As a host political body, it must take into account the issue of avoiding suspicion. ”
Li Ying glanced at Xu Qian, "Xiaoqian, you go back first!" Your brother-in-law is right. What we want to build now is more than just a business group. We have bigger goals, higher ideals. For the sake of this goal, for the sake of this ideal, sometimes, we have to sacrifice a part of our personal interests.
This matter is not something that can be said clearly at once anyway, and when we have time in the future, we will discuss it slowly, late at night. You go back first. I'll send Ying'er to you. ”
Xu Qian didn't say anything more, she seemed to understand a little, but she didn't seem to understand. But there is one thing she knows, that is, Yu Ren has already made up her mind not to give Li Ying a justifiable high position. And Li Ying also seems to have the same method as Yu Ren.
Watching Ying'er send Xu Qian out of the courtyard, Yu Ren walked over and gently held Li Ying's hand.
