Chapter 65: Leave it at that
He Xi was a little at a loss for what Yang Zhen said.
After a while, he smiled bitterly in his heart and said secretly: "Perhaps, what Yang Zhen said is the reality." ”
The powerful and the capitalists, although they are 50 steps and 100 steps of laughter, which one eats better? Probably capitalists. Capitalists regard people as capital and machines, but when they are valuable, they are still very polite. In order to make more money, I don't mind taking a slice of the pie. But what is the magnate?
In front of the powerful, there is no one. Only dogs. No people, only gadgets.
In fact, speaking of which, these powerful people in the Ming Dynasty are already quite good. After all, there is Zhu Yuanzhang watching. No one dares to mess around. Otherwise, please look at what the magnates of the Northern and Southern Dynasties did, treating people as objects at all. However, there is a limit to what is good and what is good.
As for why He Xi didn't meet these, he seemed that most of the powerful people were good. At least very capable, with wrists.
The two are not in conflict.
First, He Xi's position, as a concubine, is Zhu Yuanzhang's most favored concubine, almost equivalent to the treatment of a prince. When they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they were all people at the top of the elite circle. No one dared to offend He Xi at all. He Xi himself didn't know that many people were already familiar with the various rumors that He Xi had circulated outside before they met He Xi. I don't dare to commit taboos.
Second, now the Ming magnates are still one generation and two generations, in fact, it is still possible. Not to mention the veterans who came out of the war, even if they are the second generation who were taught by their parents, they are actually very capable. Even the Ming God of War Li Jinglong. Whether it is with hundreds of thousands of troops, or behind and in time, compared to the nobles of the later generations of the Ming Dynasty, it is better than I don't know much. At least know how to fight and how to survive in the court.
Moreover, the real shady means will not be personally taken by these magnates. Confucianism says that when you see your life, you can't bear to see your death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. This passage is worth savoring.
It turns out that people always have to eat meat. But you can't do it yourself. Later generations have white gloves. Of course, today's magnates don't. But there are some things that they don't do on their own. There are so many wealthy slaves, what are they used for.
Of course, there are people who are gentlemen and cooks. Some people don't eat minced meat.
He Xi also felt that his level in Daming was too high. Some can't see the true face of Da Ming clearly.
Why do almost all bourgeois revolutions take human rights as the starting point? Soon, of course, the capitalists do not treat people as human beings. But the elites don't treat people as human beings. Even if it is fifty steps and a hundred steps, a hundred steps is better than fifty steps.
Confucianism regards the rule of three generations as the most beautiful thing in the world, and many people in later generations regard ancient China as an idyll, which is actually the same disease.
He Xi said: "I understand what you mean. How is Zhang Youzhi? ”
Yang Zhen said: "Yes, he is very good at dealing with people. ”
He Xi said: "Then try it?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "My lord, you don't need this. The more adults intervene, the more no one dares to touch him. When he comes to a dead end, he will naturally come to find adults. ”
He Xi said: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, let it be? ”
Yang Zhen said: "Your Excellency is wise. ”
He Xi didn't feel how wise he was, he only felt that he was a little guilty. It is very simple to simply develop the productive forces and promote the development of technology. But there will be a bottleneck, and now I feel that I have reached a bottleneck. He Xi felt that the practical steam engine could not be built for a long time, because the investment was not enough, the personnel capacity was not good, and so on. Now, it seems, there are also reasons for the relations of production.
And the political adjustment is really too troublesome.
The order is important.
He Xi sighed and said, "Let this matter go." Wait. ”
That's all for this matter.
He Xi sent Yang Zhen away, and soon Yang Shiqi arrived.
He Xi and Yang Shiqi were also not polite, and said, "How many people are coming over there in Liaodong?" ”
Yang Shiqi said: "I have counted that there are more than 30,000 people in total without affecting the production of Liaodong, of which more than 20,000 are Koreans. ”
He Xi said: "Koreans? ”
Yang Shiqi said: "I think there are too many Koreans in Liaodong. If the backbone of the Han people is sucked away. So------"
He Xiyi raised his hand and said, "I understand, Goryeo does not exist. There will be no Koreans in the future. Only Haidong people. As long as you can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, you are all Han Chinese. I don't want to hear the term Korean anymore. ”
Yang Shiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaguan understands. ”
He Xi said: "The chief officer of the construction department, the imperial court has not yet sent it. But first, let's go to the construction division and make a name. But don't worry, you have been an envoy in Liaodong, and everything you should have will be given to you. Now do things first, dock with Kuai Dagong, and count how many factories are needed. It's all up to you. ”
"I'll go and see it then."
Yang Shiqi said: "Please rest assured. ”
He Xi was not at ease in his heart. What he thought in his heart was Huang Zicheng.
Yang Shiqi is good. Courage, wrist. Ability. It's all okay. But in the end, the time of cooperation with He Xi is short, and I don't know much about He Xi's temperament, and it is precisely because of this understanding that there will be things in Liaodong. If Huang Zicheng was here, there would be no such thing at all.
But Huang Zicheng has his own way out. Now it is in full swing in Nanjing, and the Liaodong set has been copied to Nanjing. Rely on Nanjing's resources. It's also impressive.
He Xi can't stop the future of others.
He Xi said: "That's right. What happened to Liaodong? ”
Yang Shiqi said: "Please rest assured, I have already dealt with it before I came." According to the adult's will, all the bills will be eliminated, and only one kind of silver ticket will remain. And the Liaodong Bank no longer exists. The whole team has now been brought in. and three million taels of silver were also brought. However, none of the silver tickets were brought over, and all of them were left to Lord Liu. ”
If he could, He Xi wanted to complete the bill reform in Liaodong. But his business was too busy. This matter can only be done by Yang Shiqi. Fortunately, for this future prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, He Xi still believes in ability.
As long as Yang Shiqi doesn't have any psychological burden, he won't do anything messy.
He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "What about three million taels? One or two can't move. Do you think Liu Jing is presiding over Liaodong, will there be problems? ”
Yang Shiqi said: "My lord, Lord Liu is calm and good, and he will never mess around." And everything in Liaodong is tied to the Jingshi, as long as you don't mess around, there will be no problems. ”
He Xi said: "Yes." ”
These three million taels are nothing else. It's a reserve. There are so many silver tickets released, there are probably nearly 20 million taels, and there is only 3 million taels of reserves, which is actually very small. However, nearly 10 million taels of silver tickets are floating on the sea and participating in the entire sea trade. With the speed of traffic in this era, it is impossible to return to Beijing in time.
Therefore, He Xi is not worried about the exchange crisis.
But the problem is that He Xi set the rules for himself, and this reserve fund naturally cannot be used. That crazy operation before. He Xi himself knows how much risk there is.
As for Liu Jing, this person.
Although it is not as good as his father, he can be regarded as a talent, and as a talent, he knows best what to do and what not to do. And not the other way around. At this point, Liu Jing understands best. He was very curious about everything in Liaodong, but he didn't know much about it.
A lot of people are always messing around with things they don't understand. But really smart, it won't be like this.
Liu Jing really wants to understand the ideas behind many of He Xi's practices, and is also studying many of He Xi's practices. But before the study is understood, the decision will be followed. It won't mess around.
He Xi said: "It's just right, let's discuss the most important thing together. That is, the budget issue, I can give up other positions. But there is only the banking department, this position, I have already said it when I went to the imperial court. It's just me in charge. This one thing is the most important thing. I had been deliberating for several rounds before you came. See if you have any new ideas. ”
In He Xi's view, Beijing is important. But the city of Beijing is nothing more than a dead thing. And the financial system of the future is alive.
