Chapter 121: A Billion

How many of the promises of politicians have been fulfilled.

Not to mention whether He Xi can resist the temptation of power. Let's just say, after He Xi retired from the core of power, how to ensure the safety of himself, his relatives and the people around him.

The transfer of power is a big problem even in modern society. If it's not good, it will make things happen. As in the former Soviet Union, there was hardly a normal transfer of power. After all, the power is in hand, I have it in the world, and the power makes people, too upside down, and I can't help but live and die.

As far as Yao Guangxiao himself is concerned, he actually hopes that He Xi will go further.

He didn't mean that he wanted to usurp the throne. Yao Guangxiao knew that He Xi categorically refused. It's because He Xi doesn't want to break the political rules he has set, what he wants He Xi to do is to completely empty the emperor. Become a true hypocrite.

The government belongs to the cabinet, and the sacrifice is outnumbered.

One of the biggest advantages of this is that with the political rules set by He Xi, he will not cede his power to his son. After all, if he is willing to do this, it is better to usurp the throne directly. Therefore, in the future, it will be the ministers of the DPRK and China who will replace him in power.

In this way, these people have the opportunity to touch the supreme power.

This is also a great benefit for them.

People's hearts change as the situation changes.

The war is not over yet, and many people have other thoughts. Even He Xi's self-proclaimed confidant is the same.

However, He Xi didn't think about this. Although he has the idea of retiring, this is still a long way off. He Xi also admitted that Yao Guangxiao was right. There's still a lot to do. Even after he conquered Nanjing, he swept the world and completed the transformation of local provinces.

In fact, in today's Beijing, in He Xi's view, there is some progress in the yamen of the prefectures and counties in the Hebei region of Beijing. In other places, the yamen is still the same.

In the future, he must also urge the whole world to complete the reform, and change the original prefectural and county model to the establishment of a civil service system.

He needs time.

It's not that He Xi can't keep his position, but it would be nice if Zhu Xiongying could retreat knowing the difficulty.

And who knows how much money is needed to fight a war, not to mention, after the war, money is also needed to treat the wounds of war. It's better to go straight to the big one.

He Xi said, "Okay. This time it's a big deal." He Xi was silent for a while, and said, "Just one billion yuan, it's just a national debt."

As soon as these words came out, Yao Guangxiao was a little unbearable. He just said a billion, in fact, there is some joking meaning.

He Xi's national debt model is actually a big release of water. Now, in fact, all aspects have been affected. It is also becoming more and more difficult to stabilize prices. If it weren't for He Xi's almost coercion, he used all means to hoard a large amount of gold and silver. The price is already not good.

Even the official price of copper coins, one thousand yuan, but in fact, it is already floating.

This is also the most recent Sulu copper mine. A steady stream of copper is shipped to Beijing, and Beijing keeps making copper coins day and night. Otherwise, the ratio between copper coins and paper money will be more difficult to stabilize.

He Xi's large-scale release of water is very likely to go wrong.

Yang Shiqi was even more surprised and wanted to stand up and speak.

He Xi waved his hand and said, "There will be a lag in everything. If next year's war is decided, there won't be too many problems. If you can't win next year, let's not mention this. Mr. Yao."

Yao Guangxiao said, "My lord, what do you command?"

He Xi said, "You came from Nanjing in a hurry, and you should have been asked to stay longer. But this one thing is too important. You have to prepare first, and as soon as the national debt is released, you will immediately go south with 100 million yuan as capital. Do you know what I'm going to do? There must be no mistake in this matter."

Yao Guangxiao said, "My subordinates understand."

He Xi's excessive over-issuance of currency is actually a plan to loot Nanjing.

Use Nanjing, that is, the southern region to undertake the indiscriminate issuance of currency on the Beijing side, and Beijing will do it

There won't be any big problems. After all, Nanjing's fundamentals are too good. Once Ding Xian can still send so much money in Nanjing. You can imagine it.

Moreover, once Beijing conquers Nanjing, it is estimated that the assets denominated in Nanjing's new banknotes will be exchanged for Beijing banknotes at a few discounts. There are a large number of high-quality assets in Nanjing. The value of Beijing's currency will also be stabilized.

It can even take this opportunity to impact the conservative forces in Nanjing.

After Ding Xian's blow, and then the impact of Nanjing's defeat, there was another wave of currency plunder. He Xi didn't believe that the traditional conservative forces in the south could have much strength. The economic base determines the superstructure.

When everyone is opening a factory and running a company to make money, the traditional scholar group and the traditional Ming court will never come back. Even if there is an occasional restoration, it cannot stop the rolling of history to the east.

He Xi said, "This matter has been decided."

Although He Xi said so. But this matter, He Xi still has to explain it to Zhu Xiongying. If Zhu Xiongying resolutely opposes it, this matter will really be difficult to handle.

-------

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Xiongying was a little puzzled. He asked Xie Jin and said, "Even if there is a decisive battle next year, I estimate that the army's double salary plus rewards and firearms consumption will probably not be around 100 million yuan, in order to prevent accidents." The cost of building a railroad should be enough for 300 million. In order to pull insurance, 500 million is also fine. How can it be a billion this time? That's a lot of numbers. Combined with the national debt last time, it is estimated that there are more than a billion."

"How can this be paid off?"

Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Shoufu is not interested in the decisive battle, but on Your Majesty."

Zhu Xiongying said, "In me?"

Xie Jin said: "Next year's decisive battle in Luoyang, what does Your Majesty think will be the winner?"

Zhu Xiongying said, "Our army will win. Now that the southern army is in decline, even if the king of Zhongshan returns, it cannot reverse the situation. Although Fu Youde is also a handsome talent, he is not as far as the king of Zhongshan. And how can the situation be salvaged. The battle of next year will be won. It's just a matter of winning more and winning less."

Xie Jin said, "It's Shoufu who is thinking about the war. In particular, the appearance of the plum horse represents the support of many people."

Although Princess Ningguo has a good relationship with Princess Anqing, sisters. But in terms of political attitude, Mei Yin is still towards Zhu Xiongying. Without him, Mei Yin was cultivated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Orthodoxy is very strong in his heart.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, his influence is everywhere.

Many people will defect to Zhu Xiongying because of Zhu Yuanzhang. It's like, as soon as the Empress Dowager Lu died, Chang'an was for the Liu family. And Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in the world is no worse than Liu Bang. Except for the forces that He Xi personally managed, most of them were willing to defect to Zhu Xiongying, rather than under He Xi.

Zhu Xiongying was also secretly happy about this situation.

He can meet that after leveling the world, Zhu Xiongying will have a powerful force in his hands. This force is the generals of the Southern Army who have thrown themselves into him.

Zhu Xiongying was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that He Xi was also arranging after the war.

Zhu Xiongying said, "Shoufu, what does he want to do?"

Xie Jin said, "He wants to keep his position as the first assistant, at least for the next few years. It's all in the position of the first assistant, if the minister is not mistaken, when the first assistant was formulating the cabinet charter, the first assistant was two terms for a total of ten years, and now the first term is coming to an end. After the defeat of Nanjing, will His Majesty really want Shoufu to remain in power?"

"And after the war, if the imperial court is in debt of billions, except for He Shoufu, who in the world has the confidence to clean up this mess?"

Zhu Xiongying did not answer.

But not answering is also an answer.

As far as Zhu Xiongying is concerned, he feels that he has endured a lot of things from He Xi. If he can, he actually doesn't want to endure it anymore, but the situation is like this, he replaces He Xi to personally preside over the overall situation, will the situation in the world develop in a better direction?

Zhu Xiongying didn't know.

Letting He Xi reign is Zhu Xiongying's best choice.

It's just that after the end of the war, the most important prerequisite for He Xi's reign is not

It's in. Zhu Xiongying can have a new choice.

Now it seems that this step, He Xi is also in front of him.

Zhu Xiongying said, "How do you think I should deal with it?"
