Qi Yu firmly believed that there must be some kind of interest relationship, and it was this relationship that gave them the courage to stand up. At the same time, this was also the basis for their common hatred.
but!
Qi Dalang analyzed it one by one from the institutional, political, and economic and trade perspectives, but still could not find out what the relationship was. He kept guessing and couldn't get a clue.
Since you can't analyze it, it's better to take the initiative to test it.
Perhaps, there are new discoveries?
So he coughed dryly and continued along with the previous topic: "Mencius said that if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. Although Qi has no talent, he still wants to do great justice to the world, repay the kindness of the emperor, and bring peace to the people below. People, this will live up to the aspirations of scholars. If you express this ambition, you have to join the cabinet. In the face of the future and the interests of the nation, is there any reason to give in? In this regard, you should not persuade me any more. Instead of adding more obstacles, you should also It’s better to exchange positions and find a solution.”
After that, he emphasized sternly: "Shelving the disputes between the two parties and safeguarding each other's interests is a compromise. If it hurts the harmony, then I'm sorry!"
This speech is soft but hard at the same time and has a strong meaning, especially the last sentence 'I'm sorry', which is full of threats, and the overtone is very obvious.
At the same time, it can also be heard that he is determined to win the first minister of the cabinet and cannot be discussed.
Everyone present is an old and mature person, how could they not understand the meaning?
Of course, Qi Dalang does have the strength to say this, and the courage to remove obstacles.
These words... are not said casually.
I think back then, he personally led the Nanyang Army to sneak into the capital and used extraordinary means to suppress the internal and external disturbances at that time. This skill was as powerful as the emperor's thunder. Even the imperial city could advance and retreat freely. What else could he do? Don't you dare to do it?
Moreover, his current strength is far greater than before, so he is even more unscrupulous. To put it bluntly, he can even beat the notoriously ferocious foreign troops to pieces. Is there anyone in this world who can intimidate him?
From the above, it can be seen that he does have the confidence to say this. In other words, if he really covets the cabinet, no one can stop him.
Sure enough, everyone was directly shocked by this 'overtone', and for a while they couldn't find a way to counter-suppress it.
Sometimes, simple and crude threats are more convincing than elegant reasoning. Any gentleman who talks but does not take action is an excuse given by a coward.
After a long time, Shang Yun broke the calm at the instigation of others: "Well... we are not saying that we don't agree with the new Nanyang system under Lord Qi's rule. We are generally quite positive. However, the 'Asian Yuan' is excepted. After a pause, he continued: "If Shaobao promises not to implement financial reforms, we are willing to put aside our prejudices and support you in the cabinet."
"It turns out to be...the Asian Yuan system?" Qi Yu was startled. said in great surprise.
To be honest, he was not so surprised that the late emperor did not take action. At that time, he thought about it over and over again, but he did not think of the financial aspect.
The new financial system has not only taken root in Nanyang, but has also been popularized overseas. Judging from the results, it is definitely a good system that is beneficial and harmless.
Now that it has been proven by facts, why do they still hinder it?
A bit baffling!
Just when he was frowning and becoming more confused, Huang Fei suddenly handed over a note. The appearance of this thing made him suddenly enlightened.
I saw it read: If paper money circulates, gold, silver, copper, etc. will be replaced. In this case, won't those who are greedy for ink lose their hidden wealth? It should be noted that this involves a very broad scope, which is why it arouses the common hatred among the staff.
Oh, I generally understand.
How many people in the officialdom are innocent?
They claim that the country is for the people, but who wouldn't take the opportunity to line their own pockets? If the new financial system is really implemented, the shady wealth accumulated will become impossible to cash out, and may even be worth zero overnight.
It's really deeply involved.
There is an old saying in the political arena that every reform will touch the core interests of many people. This is indeed true!
but!
Malignant sores cannot be cured without ruthlessness. Only by gouging out the rotten flesh can the disease be cured and the disease regenerated.
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and showed determination.
He has always acted decisively and decisively without being sloppy. How could he stop just to face difficulties? When it's time to show off your power, you have to show some urine!
However, this establishment of authority cannot be done too hastily and requires further deliberation. Besides, today is not the time to cause trouble, so let’s finish the funeral first!
Qi Yu smiled and reassured: "You are overthinking it. Financial innovation is not as extreme as you think. Back then, when I first launched the Asian dollar in Qiongzhou, I implemented the parallel circulation of metal coins and banknotes. There are no deliberate restrictions. Which currency to hold is entirely the personal freedom of the wealthy, and there is nothing to force anyone to do!”
After that, he added: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to the Nanyang area to inquire whether Qi's words are true."
This argument seemed rigorous and affirmative, but Shang Yun always felt that something was not quite right.
As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
Forget it, since the other party can explain it in public, it can be regarded as a public commitment.
With his status, it is absolutely impossible for him to talk nonsense and fool the public.
After Qi Yu's "enlightenment", everyone's eyes became much gentler.
Yes, Mr. Qi has satisfied his demands, so what else is there to complain about?
Shang Yun thought to himself that Lu Boxuan once told him that the promotion of banknotes was the core of Mr. Qi's new policy. As long as this aspect was contained, he would not be able to cause too much trouble. There is absolutely no room for compromise on this issue.
But things turned out unexpectedly, and he actually came up with a compromise.
It was so unexpected, so unexpected that I didn’t even know how to answer the call.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Qi Yu laughed and said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's do this for now!"
After saying that, he winked at Huang Fei and asked him to clear the way, clearing out a route from the blocked road. The latter naturally understood the situation, raised his sword and signaled everyone to give way with a virtuous smile.
"Let's go!"
…
"Sir, with your character, you shouldn't compromise?" Afterwards, Huang Fei immediately came up and asked.
Qi Yu smiled and replied: "Concession? How is it possible? There are just some rotten scholars who don't scare me. I agreed just now, but I just retreated in order to make progress." Seeing that Lao Huang was even more confused, he further explained: "Nanyang's Experience has proven that the implementation of currency should not be one-size-fits-all. Rough implementation will only be counterproductive and make people feel that they are depriving them of their wealth. The key to success is to proceed step by step and achieve success. However, as long as the gap is opened, it can be completed in less than two months. For this reform, this is previous experience data, which is worthy of reference. Since this is the case, why don’t I make a personal commitment?”
"Master Qi is brilliant!"
"Haha, the truly brilliant thing is yet to come. If you stroke my tiger beard, you will have to pay a price!"
