"Everyone, our chance has come."
When speaking, Zhao Junchen's tone was calm and his expression was calm, as if he was just talking about something trivial.
But precisely because of this, after everyone in the "Zhao Party" heard Zhao Junchen's words, they all felt the confidence contained in the calmness, and they were all refreshed.
Nowadays, all officials in the DPRK and the Central Government are opposed to the imperial government's rectification of commercial taxes. This stance is extremely common, whether they are "Zhou Party" officials, "Shen Party" officials, "Yellow Party" officials, and even some "Prince Party" officials. Officials all hold this position.
Therefore, in today's major court meeting, even Zhou Shangjing did not dare to easily express his support for the rectification of commercial tax, because even Zhou Shangjing could not control the thoughts of "Zhou Party" officials on the issue of commercial tax. Zhou Shangjing clearly expressed his support for the imperial government to rectify commercial taxes, and I am afraid that some "Zhou Party" officials will alienate him.
Selfishness is human nature, and few people are willing to give up their interests, even if it is for the sake of the overall interests of the court.
Selflessness, self-sacrifice, putting public before self... There are many similar beautiful slogans. Officials often use these beautiful slogans on their lips, but they are nothing more than that and will never be put into actual actions.
Among the major factions in the DPRK, only the "Zhao Party" officials are happy to see the results of the imperial court's rectification of commercial taxes. It is not that the "Zhao Party" officials are selfless; It is very clear that once the imperial court begins to rectify commercial taxation, it will definitely not get around Zhao Junchen. Once Zhao Junchen takes charge of the rectification of commercial taxation, all "Zhao Party" officials will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits, and these benefits will be It will be far greater than the losses caused by the commercial tax rectification, that’s all.
After all. Or interests determine the stance.
Therefore, when the "Zhao Party" officials heard Zhao Junchen's speech, they were all shocked. Then they all looked at Zhao Junchen with expectant eyes, and waited quietly for Zhao Junchen to continue speaking.
Under the gaze of everyone in the "Zhao Party". Zhao Junchen's attitude was still calm, and he said slowly: "Today, I deliberately showed weakness during the court meeting, and finally got His Majesty's permission to select a shipping company for pilot and gradually implement the plan..."
Having said this, a sneer flashed across Zhao Junchen's lips, and he added: "It's just a boat shop, just a year. All the officials in the court thought that I was just making a small fuss, and even planned to You secretly set a stumbling block to make me stumble, but I plan to take the opportunity to make a big move and completely reverse the corrupt status quo of the imperial business tax, which will surprise everyone! However, during this period, I need you all. Cooperate."
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, all the "Zhao Party" officials looked at each other, then stood up one after another, and said in unison: "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Zhao! We will definitely do our best and never slack off! "
While talking. All "Zhao Party" officials have a firm attitude.
The more Zhao Junchen wants to do something big, the more it means huge benefits, although there will be some risks. But in the face of huge interests, "Zhao Party" officials will not mind.
After seeing everyone's attitude, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "First of all, in the morning tomorrow, I hope that you will continue to impeach Huang Yourong and restore the official positions of Gu Quan, Zhan Shanchang, and Liu Changan as soon as possible. In this way, Come, we can regain our strength and make the next plan."
After everyone in the "Zhao Party" nodded in agreement, Zhao Junchen said again: "After the official positions of Gu Quan, Zhan Shanchang, and Liu Changan are restored, I need you to use the authority in your hands and combine the power of the Three Laws Department and the Ministry of Household Affairs . Make a surprise inspection of the current status of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Yangtze River Waterway, and take the opportunity to severely suppress smuggling in these two waterways... I also know that our strength alone is not enough to wipe out all the smuggling boats. Those smuggling shipping companies have been bribed, and we can't easily catch the evidence. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results. However, no matter what, we must show our attitude of cracking down on smuggling. If there are not too many surprises in my plan, someone will naturally bring a large number of The evidence is in our hands."
"...In addition, regarding my plan to rectify commercial taxation, I am afraid that there will be many officials who want to secretly obstruct it, so I also hope that you can keep your eyes open and not let go of any developments from the government and the opposition. , I am not afraid of others secretly stumbling upon me, but I will never tolerate being plotted against myself without any counterattack..."
"...Also, Zhang Jizhi, the prefect of Linqing, is a man of great ability and can take on big responsibilities. Now he has joined me. I summon Li Lide, the governor of Shandong Province, and ask him to recommend Zhang Jizhi immediately. We need to do it in the shortest possible time." Let Zhang Jizhi serve as the magistrate of Yanzhou within a certain period of time. I need this person to control the situation in Taierzhuang, Yanzhou..."
*****
Next, Zhao Junchen gave many instructions to everyone in the "Zhao Party" one after another, and vaguely revealed his true plan.
After vaguely feeling Zhao Junchen's ambition, all the "Zhao Party" officials were very motivated and agreed to all Zhao Junchen's instructions.
About half an hour later, Zhao Junchen had given instructions on everything.
Because there were still many things waiting for Zhao Junchen to deal with, Zhao Junchen did not continue to chat with the "Zhao Party" officials, but just asked them to get things done as soon as possible.
However, when the "Zhao Party" officials left, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "Master Zuo, please stay for a moment. I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Zuo Lanshan naturally stopped.
After everyone left, only Zhao Junchen and Zuo Lanshan were left in the living room of Zhao Mansion.
Then, Zhao Junchen asked Zuo Lanshan: "Master Zuo, Huang Yourong is about to fall. At that time, a position will be vacant in the cabinet... What are your thoughts on this position?"
…
ps: Well, the second update today.
In addition, today "Regent" received a big push from the official website of Qidian.com. To be honest, Chongzi was quite surprised. This book has been discontinued for such a long time. I thought Qidian had given up on it, but I didn't expect the editors would still remember it. Thank you so much for this book. But Chongzi is even more grateful to everyone for their persistence over the years. It is precisely because of your support that Qidian can see that this book still has some residual value.
Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to support some monthly passes, recommendations, rewards, and genuine subscriptions to make the performance of this book better during the closed period. In this way, the book may continue to be recommended by Qidian, and then Chongzi will be more motivated. .
Bow!
