"Shishu has a candidate for the position of governor of Wuzhou Province in his heart?"

The lunch is very rich, and there is Ren Pingsheng's favorite fried snow rabbit, the red pepper is stir-fried, the taste is refreshing, and the taste is fresh and spicy.

"Wuzhou Province is very important to the Qi State, I want Lu Yingying to serve in my heart, I don't know what His Highness wants?"

Liu Shu couldn't guess what Ren Pingsheng was thinking now. However, he has no selfish intentions for Lu Yingying's recommendation, and his heart is frank and natural.

Ren Pingsheng shook his head, looked up at Liu Shu and said, "I plan to let you take the position of governor of Wuzhou." ”

"Me?"

Liu Shu was stunned.

The post of governor of Wuzhou Province is certainly noble, but the post of minister of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the assessment of officials across the country, as well as the promotion and transfer, which is even more noble!

If the minister of government is exchanged for a governor of Wuzhou Province, although they are all ministerial-level, they are a loss in terms of authority.

He couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't done something well, and was disliked by His Highness.

"Don't think about it."

Ren Pingsheng knew what Liu Shu was thinking, he picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the rice bowl: "I plan to set up a cabinet center, you can see it as the cabinet of the old scene, but the powers and responsibilities are not the same, the cabinet coordinates eleven ministries and Qixing Bank, involving the national economy and people's livelihood, and the weight of high positions."

Among them, the first and second assistants of the cabinet must have experience in local administration. You have been in charge of personnel since you started in the official administration section of Qingcheng Town, and although you have grown rapidly along the way, you have never had the experience of being in charge of overall work.

If he serves as the first assistant of the cabinet as soon as he comes up, he may have the ability to panic in the face of various tasks in the country, which is not conducive to the stable and orderly development of the country.

Go down to temper and temper, learn more, summarize more, and master the quality and ability of all-round work. ”

When Ren Pingsheng said this, Liu Shu understood.

This is His Highness's intention to exalt himself!

"Then I will listen to Your Highness, and I will go wherever Your Highness tells me to go."

Liu Shu smiled happily.

After all, he came out of a village, and Liu Shu's personality is clear to Ren Pingsheng. Although he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, he has never formed gangs, nor engaged in nepotism, nor has he ever been corrupt or bribed, and he has always been fair in the evaluation of officials, and his official reputation in the officialdom is very good.

It's not just him, Liu Qiang, Liu Wen and others from Liujia Village basically don't hold private gatherings now, and they never share political resources.

This is also one of the reasons why Ren Pingsheng can tolerate them sitting in the top few chairs above the court.

Ren Pingsheng sometimes thinks that this may be the old village chief of Liujia Village who taught him well.

"How is the old village chief doing lately?"

Ren Pingsheng suddenly asked.

"The body is healthy, even the lame leg has been cured. A few years ago, Liu Qiang also sent someone back to take the old village chief to live in Kyoto.

But the old village chief was reluctant to guard the village for most of his life, so he didn't make the trip. ”

Liu Shu said.

"There is nothing lacking in Qingcheng Town, the medical conditions are also very good, and the old village chief is willing to provide for the elderly in the village.

The old village chief is an idle man, and when he is older, he still has some things to do. ”

Ren Pingsheng said.

As he spoke, he thought of Lao Ren and the others again.

They are also about to retire, and after they sweep away the northern barbarians and unify the whole country and ascend the throne as emperor, the country will settle down.

Enjoy a great meal.

After Liu Shu left, Ren Pingsheng called Lu Yingying to talk again.

After the conversation, he ordered the Secretariat of the Shuge to draft a decree and summon Wu Jinyan to Beijing.

Next, Liu Shugo immediately became the governor of Wuzhou Province, Lu Yingying became the head of the Ministry of Affairs, and Wu Jinyan, who was the prefect of Fengqi County at the time, completed a jump in officialdom and was promoted to the Minister of Civil Affairs.

This series of transfers and changes was completed before the end of the first month, and it did not cause any turmoil in the officialdom of Qi State, but only became the talk of many people after dinner.

Jasper is made into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down green silk, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

As the time entered February, the spring breeze from the south first blew all over the land, and people recovered from the tight days when they could not buy anything with money last year, and a large number of industrial products poured into the private market again.

The production of bicycles at the First Iron and Steel Plant has restarted, and a branch factory has been built in Quang Nam Province, and the production speed has been further improved, and a large number of finished bicycles and tricycles have poured into the market.

In the past, in order to supply military supplies, a large number of investment in canneries, garment factories, etc., the production capacity continues to expand, not only can supply the army, but now canned food, ready-to-wear clothing has also begun to flow into the market in large quantities, and even have the spare capacity to export to Yao, Lu, Yue, etc., and go farther through Yuandao.

In addition to these, the textile industry, food processing industry, daily chemical industry, iron and steel industry, automobile manufacturing industry, machinery manufacturing industry, electric power industry, chemical industry, shipbuilding industry, aircraft manufacturing industry, are all in last year's war, continue to expand production capacity, with the war is now a little off, the excess production capacity, have begun to turn to the civilian field.

This year's all walks of life must be a blowout development period.

As a result, some economic problems have gradually emerged.

During this period of time, Du Huimin, the president of Qixing Bank, had a headache.

Originally, when he learned that Lu Yingying was about to be transferred to the Minister of Civil Affairs, there was a rumor that the king intended to let him take over as the Minister of Civil Affairs.

But while secretly waiting for joy, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was picked by the prefect of Fengqi County.

For this, Du Huimin can't say anything wrong. Because of its proximity to Changguk County, Fengqi County has become a test field for many policies, such as the police system and the royal power of the village, all of which were successfully tested in Fengqi County and then spread throughout the country.

It can be seen from this that the pressure and ability of the prefect of Fengqi County are great. When people were promoted, few officials in the DPRK and China were dissatisfied.

However, the data recently reported from the Qi Development Bank made Du Hui very sensitive.

Because, the banks are starting to run out of money!

Because the state of Qi was on the silver standard, the amount of gold and silver stored in the underground treasury of the Qixing Bank was used to print and distribute currency in proportion.

Since the beginning of the year, in order to complete its tasks, the Development Bank of Qi has continued to lend money to foreign countries.

With the boom in private investment, the amount of money lent out has also risen and increased.

There is a shortage of everything in this land, coupled with the shortage of goods under the influence of last year's war, so that the demand for all kinds of materials in the entire private market is extremely strong.

This also made the merchants smell more and more money.

These are not a problem, the money in the hands of the people is usually exchanged for silver taels in bank outlets.

But the problem lies in the massive borrowing out of the country, which makes money scarce. There is already a shortage of money in the market.

If the current situation is allowed to develop, can Qixing Bank continue to print money? If you don't print money, how should people deal with it when they come to the bank to withdraw money? What are the consequences of printing money?

For Du Huimin, these are some practical problems at hand.

Du Huimin didn't dare to cover up on this issue, and this was not a problem that he could solve on his own as the governor of the central bank, so he first went to visit the building of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, and then went to the palace to ask for a meeting.

Finally, in the Yuanhe Palace, I met the king and the minister of finance and taxation, Qin Wan.

"The problem is still the money."

After listening to Du Huimin's words, Ren Pingsheng felt that the problem was the reserve silver.

When he used to work in the development and reform department, he used to read some macroeconomic books in his free time, but he couldn't compare with economists with a professional background, and he belonged to the level of less than half a bottle.

Economic and financial issues are inherently very complex, and they are usually systemic issues that affect the whole body.

In his view, in the face of the current money shortage, one is to adjust the monetary policy to increase the money supply.

Or to increase the reserve of silver to increase the supply of currency in circulation.

The adjustment of monetary policy is relatively risky, and there are many places to be adjusted. It is not good to proceed rashly until the financial development of Qi has not been perfected and developed, and a group of people have not been trained in practice to truly understand the financial knowledge brought back from the earth.

Therefore, the large silver mine that has been discovered by Bowan immediately entered the agenda.

After Du Huimin left, Ren Pingsheng began to think about who to let serve as the big pirate Zhai Yun of Zhao'an.

"Young Master, how is Young Officer Zheng?"

Xiao Wan suggested.

During this time, as the Minister of Finance and Taxation, she went to Quang Nam Province. They inspected the situation of the local industrial park that was under construction in Xiangshan. Secretly, he personally went to Endao and set up an intelligence station there.

"Young Officer Zheng? I forgot about him. ”

Ren Pingsheng's fingers tapped on the imperial case.

Major Officer Zheng is now named Marquis of Jinghai, with the rank of rear admiral.

Nowadays, although the State of Qi has a set of meritorious service systems of dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and men, it is the same as the fiction, and it has not really been rewarded.

Zheng Shaoguan's Jinghai Hou is the only one of the scorpion, and in the eyes of outsiders, he enjoys all the honor.

However, Zheng Shaoguan has not been appointed to a substantive position.

Once, when the Dongyang Fleet was first built, White Tiger had suggested that Major Officer Zheng should be appointed as the commander of the fleet.

But in the end, Ren Pingsheng vetoed it.

Because, at that time, Zhang Shan and Peggy of the Dongyang ship were both subordinates of Zheng Shaoguan.

Including the officers of the Qi Navy, many of them were from the disciples of Major Officer Zheng.

Ren Pingsheng could no longer let him serve in the navy, fearing that the navy would become a monolith and become an independent kingdom that could not be pricked with needles and splashed with water.

It can be said that the military rank of Marquis Jinghai and rear admiral can be regarded as a compensation for him.

"Young Official Zheng's identity is just right. What is his relationship with this Zhai Yun? ”

Ren Pingsheng thought about it and asked.

Xiao Wan said: "They have a good relationship, Zhai Yun used to be in Bowan, and he also invited Zheng Shaoguan to dinner. In the past, the two sides have also cooperated in business. ”

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

"We sent people to the island before, and we also attracted a few important figures in the pirate group Zhai Yun, it is said that this Zhai Yun is very obsessed with being an official, and he has sent people to Nanyang to ask for an official before.

Later, when Emperor Jing learned of his identity, not only did he not give him a reward, but also beheaded the envoy he sent.

couldn't ask for it, so he also sent his eldest son to Jian'an Province, and was fostered incognito in a powerful family, wanting to train his eldest son to participate in the imperial examination as an official. ”

Xiao Wan told the news that the Night Cat Organization had discovered.

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "In this way, it seems that it is not difficult to win over this Zhai Yun." There should be no need for force to suppress it. ”

"It should be."

Xiao Wan also smiled.

"The Dongyang Fleet is still on a mission in the North Sea, so let's send the Qingcheng Fleet on a mission."

Since the beginning of this year, Dongyang Shipyard has continued to increase production capacity, and the Yuntai fleet and Qingcheng fleet have been launched one after another.

Today, the Qingcheng fleet, including the flagship of the Qingcheng, already has 5 ironclad ships, and its defense and firepower are slightly stronger than the Dongyang fleet.

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while, and then said: "Proposed order, Major Officer Feng Zheng will serve as the deputy commander of the Navy Command and assist the White Tiger in leading all matters of the Navy. ”

Today, the situation is different.

The current navy is not the same as when it was first established, and the white tiger has firmly grasped the navy in his hands. Let Major Officer Zheng serve as the deputy commander, and there is no need to worry that he will seize power. On the contrary, now with the continuous expansion of naval power, the addition of Major Officer Zheng can also balance the naval power and be easier to be controlled by the royal power.

"Send Major Officer Zheng to lead the Qingcheng fleet as soon as possible, go to Bowan, and recruit An Zhai Yun. The Ministry of Engineering prepared manpower to develop the Bowan Silver Mine. ”

Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan arranged the next work on the wave bend and the big silver mine.

After Xiao Wan wrote it down, she personally went to Zhongshu Pavilion to convey the will to the secretariat, and they were responsible for writing and delivering the will.

After she returned to the Yuanhe Palace, she saw that the young master was still reading official documents and criticizing the folds. So I did it by his side and watched the folds with him.

"How's the situation on Marushima?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Marushima is a bit more prosperous than I expected, and in the western part of Marushima alone, there are 35 permanent bases in the country, with a permanent population of more than 300,000. In the west, the city of Faro has a population of 70,000.

If you include the floating population, the number will triple again.

However, the forces of this place are intricate. There are also indigenous Yun people on the island, and some Han Chinese. These people add up to more than 800,000 people, and there are many contradictions between the two sides, and they often fight each other.

Now, after our war between Yao and Yilan and other states of Xiluo, the status of the Han people on the island has risen a bit······"

Xiao Wan explained some of her experiences on the round island.

"By the way, this time I also heard a lot of news on Enjima, but I don't know if it's true or not.

It is said that there is a fleet, and on an overseas island, some small people were found, only the size of a human finger, and they have the same intelligence as humans, and they have built cities on the island, and even have a civilization, language and writing similar to us humans. ”
