Yu Hai absolutely agrees with the idea of black cats and white cats.
Take Qiongzhou's officialdom as an example. Almost all serving officials are not so-called 'white cats'.
Among these people, there were either those who were not in a position of power in their official career, like myself, or those who were untimely, like Peng Wenchang, or even abandoned officials like Duan Zicheng, who had fallen into disgrace. All in all, there really aren’t a few big names that are good enough.
In addition to the officials, there are also all the edicts here, and there is also no great scholar in the dynasty.
Although Luo Yuan once served as a drinker for the Grand Prix of the Imperial College, he is still an outdated old scholar, and his influence is no longer what it used to be. The others don't even have a genuine Jinshi. The only one who can do it seems to be a tribute scholar. Sun, who was born, was violent.
However, it is such a group of so-called 'black cats' that have supported the development of the entire Qiongzhou, and have also achieved considerable achievements. What does this mean?
It shows that the imperial court's system of appointing talents has serious shortcomings in recognizing talents, so that many people with lofty ideals cannot apply what they have learned, resulting in a waste of talents.
Going a step further, let’s talk about gold now.
Qi Yu was stunned for a while and suddenly said with emotion: "These pieces of gold have come at the right time."
Too time? What's the meaning?
Could it be that Qiongzhou is short of money now?
Yu Hai tasted the product and said curiously: "Nowadays, Qiongzhou's business is booming, its tax revenue is increasing, and its agriculture and mulberry fields are as stable as a rock. Even if there is not enough gold, it is still difficult! If this is the case, why do you sigh like this?"
Qi Yu laughed and said with a smile: "Who in the world thinks that his family has too much money?" After saying that, he changed his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, this gold is not used to make money. It’s financial, but it has other important uses.”
"What is the use of this reuse?"
"Open a bank!"
"bank?"
"Not bad!" Qi Yu nodded and added, "With all this gold and the previous accumulation, we can barely maintain the basic operations of a bank."
Is there any direct connection between gold and banks?
I don’t understand!
Suddenly!
Yu Hai recalled a strange incident from the past.
During the financial handover, Tan Junyan mentioned to him more than once that the gold reserves in the government office were so large that they could exceed the total tax revenue.
This is not flattering bragging, but stating the facts.
You see, first the proceeds from the search of Prince Yong's Mansion, and then the two blackmails of Andre, the two combined together have become a huge fortune.
There was nothing wrong with this, but the strange thing was that Master Qi refused to touch the savings, and the reason he gave at the time was that it had other important uses.
Listening to it now, I can't help but feel suddenly enlightened.
Regardless of whether the establishment of this bank is reasonable or not, this kind of precautionary measures is enough to be deeply admired.
It can be seen that this plan was not just a whim, but had been planned for a long time.
This vision is really long-term~~
…
summer.
The sun is scorching, the cicadas are annoying, and it’s the season of enthusiasm again.
As if affected by the weather, the Qiongzhou Governor's Yamen was also very busy.
What are you busy with?
Of course, it is to prepare for the two upcoming conferences.
Unexpectedly, in this busy time, an unexpected and rare guest suddenly arrived.
who?
Qi Yu's old friend Zhao Mingyu.
That's not right...
Didn't he assist Qi Jing in Mobei? Why did he suddenly come to Nanyang? Could it be that he was having a very unsatisfactory time there, so he had a bad idea?
Hehe, maybe it is.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu immediately put on a bright smile as if he had found a treasure, and even put on a posture of walking backwards to greet him, to show his surprise.
Falling back?
Mr. Qi is indeed a master of Aha's style!
When Zhao Mingyu saw this, he seemed to be extremely moved and looked very moved.
Qi Yu trotted forward with his robe in hand and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Qi is so virtuous and talented that he actually attracted Mr. Zhao to defect to him. How lucky he is!"
What? Shall I join you?
Where did this begin?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Mingyu understood the meaning and hurriedly explained: "Master Qi misunderstood. Zhao came here not to find another place to live, but to visit on the way."
Coming along the way?
Look at what you are saying, is it possible that you still want to go south to Luzon?
It's not the truth at first glance.
It seems that Mr. Zhao's character has not changed at all, and he still has the same 'smooth' attitude as before.
Qi Yu didn't care at all about Shicai's misunderstanding. After having a laugh, he warmly welcomed Zhao Mingyu into the living room to watch tea and reminisce about the past.
The two are colleagues and friends who have known each other for many years. Although they are now separated by sea and sky, their friendship in the past has never changed. On the contrary, they feel that they are even more affectionate because of this long separation.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
As for the opening remarks, it was still the same as in officialdom, except for pleasantries.
Zhao Mingyu first expressed his heartfelt congratulations to Qi Qi for being promoted to governor, and the latter also expressed his happiness to the former for meeting the "Ming Master" in his official career. Both of them have achieved something, and the situation is really gratifying.
Next, we entered the chatting session.
"Master Zhao, how is my brother Qi Jing doing in Mobei?" Qi Yu put down his teacup and asked formally.
"Generally speaking, it's pretty good." Zhao Mingyu first affirmed the overview, and then said in detail: "At the military level, the game with the two northern powers is still going on. Although some gratifying results have been achieved, It is still impossible to realistically inflict serious damage on the enemy. Mr. Qi believes that the strength of the two strong ones is still there and their energy is not exhausted. It is difficult to eat them in one bite in the short term, so we should be prepared for a protracted war."
Qi Yu nodded in recognition and said: "The Mobei Territory is vast, extremely deep and vast. If we want to carry out comprehensive suppression, it will not be achieved overnight. It is reasonable to say that a protracted war cannot be rushed."
After a pause, he asked again: "Oh, by the way, before, Brother Qi wrote to me asking about my attitude towards the Donglu. When I wrote back, I told him that this tribe must be contained with all possible strength and must not be allowed to rise suddenly. I wonder if this matter will be implemented?"
Zhao Mingyu stroked his beard and smiled, nodded and replied: "Mr. Qi, please rest assured. After receiving your letter, General Qi immediately made strategic adjustments. In the short term, that clan will not be able to make trouble again."
That's good, that's good.
Regardless of how history will develop in the future, for the present, one must consider it from Dafeng's perspective. The more stability there is in the country, the people will suffer less.
Qi Yu nodded happily and continued to ask: "I wonder what kind of arrangements Brother Qi has made for the protracted war in the future?"
Zhao Mingyu replied: "That's the case. General Qi recruited sergeants outside the Great Wall and opened horse farms to cultivate the foundation of the military. At present, the effect has begun to show. I believe that in the near future, he will definitely be able to move up to the next level."
