Chapter 136: Future Position
When He Xi first started in Liaodong, he was completely exhausted. There was nothing and no solution. In order to concentrate manpower and material resources, He Xi came up with a series of bills. Only then did he gather the human and material resources of Liaodong into his own hands and lay the foundation of Liaodong industry.
But there were many problems at the beginning.
He Xi was really worried.
Liaodong at that time was essentially a large county in later generations. There were just under a million people in total. Later, there were more people migrating, so there were millions of people.
Even so, He Xi has found almost all the talents he can find, and he has also trained a large number of mathematical talents. It's just barely enough. But later, He Xi personally abolished this normality.
On the one hand, there is the issue of officialdom. What many people below did was shocking to He Xi.
On the other hand, the error tolerance rate for this matter is too low. Once something goes wrong, problems can easily arise.
In short, He Xi abandoned these policies.
In fact, Ding Xian also knew these contents very well. In essence, Nanjing's new banknotes are a kind of bill. Ding Xian failed to maintain this kind of bill artificially. Not to mention having them maintain a dozen or more bills. How difficult is it? Ding Xian naturally knew.
For the Nanjing court, this was an impossible task.
But Zhu Yunwen didn't necessarily know this.
Zhu Yunwen is too young after all.
Zhu Yunwen may have understood this himself. If Zhu Yunwen directly handles the affairs of the court, it will be a disaster for the Nanjing court. Because many lower-level officials think it is common sense, but Zhu Yunwen himself is not very clear about it.
Just like this matter, He Xi's original policy required a huge amount of calculations and statistics.
It can be said that while Yang Shiqi and Huang Zicheng were able to preside over the affairs of Liaodong back then, Yang Shiqi is now in charge of finance in Beijing and does not find it difficult at all. Even though the Beijing court had jurisdiction over more things than before in Liaodong. But the difference in workload is not too big.
Even worse.
Does the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs have such information processing capabilities?
You know, one of the foundations of He Xi's theory is mathematics. Nanjing insists that what He Xi supports is what they oppose. Mathematics did not develop well in Nanjing, even though Fang Xiaoru fell. But Fang Xiaoru also became a god.
Ding Xian has no status at all in the academic world. He has no ability to compare with Fang Xiaoru. What he is doing can be called retrograde. How can he get the support of the people below him.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for mathematical talents to develop well. Even if there are some talents among the people in Nanjing, they are unlikely to be willing to be used by Ding Xian.
The reason why Ding Xian advocated this plan was because Ding Xian knew that if he couldn't think of any way today, he would tell Zhu Yunwen directly that there was nothing he could do now. Now the head on his neck is no longer his own.
And when he proposed a method, Zhu Yunwen might give him a certain amount of time when he had no other choice.
These times are when he chooses to turn around.
It can be delayed for a while even if it is too late.
Ding Xiancheng and Huang Zicheng did not suddenly realize their conscience and recommended talents to Zhu Yunwen. But he wanted to find someone to take the blame. If this doesn't work out in the future. He doesn't have to take responsibility himself.
In short, in order to maximize your own interests. Ding Xian can always think of a way, and there is no bottom line.
Zhu Yunwen didn't understand general affairs. But we also see how difficult this matter is.
But I still hesitated.
On the one hand, the current situation cannot continue no matter what. In fact, he had known for a long time that drinking poison to quench thirst was the best way to achieve super hair, but so what? If you can't find a way to maintain the army on the front line, don't worry about the future.
On the other hand, who but Ding Xian can give him a new plan.
Although Ding Xian has many problems, Ding Xian is still capable after all. But Fang Xiaoru and his like couldn't support Zhu Yunwen's ideas at all.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it. He thought for a moment and said, "Where is Huang Zicheng?"
Ding Xian said: "I will go and invite you now."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Ding Xian and said, "Go."
Generally speaking, when summoning ministers, how can the chief assistant do it in person? It's just that Ding Xian wants to go now, and Zhu Yunwen doesn't stop him, so he just thinks that Ding Xian has done something wrong.
-------
Ding Xian invited Huang Zicheng into the carriage.
The two of them were swaying in the carriage. Ding Xian suddenly said: "Senior Brother Huang, what are the recent instructions from Beijing?"
Huang Zicheng was stunned, he had been betrayed at this moment. He immediately came back to his senses and said: "I don't know what you are talking about? He is unkind and I am unjust. I have no relationship with him. We have broken all ties."
Ding Xian said calmly: "Senior Brother Huang, you and I have been brothers for many years. You probably don't know that you and Senior Brother Lian both have a problem, that is, they are too gentlemen and cannot lie. When you lie, your face will show flaws. "
Huang Zicheng said nothing.
He felt that if he talked too much at this time, he would be wrong. Not bad. It depends on what Ding Xian says.
Ding Xian said: "Senior Brother Huang, you don't have to look at me like this. I have been forced to do nothing until today, and I can only say that God is playing tricks on me. Now I want to change my mind and switch to the disciples. I don't know if Senior Brother Huang is willing to introduce me on my behalf." ap.
In fact, Ding Xian didn't want to be so straightforward.
But he didn't expect that the situation would collapse so quickly. He even felt that Jianwen might not be as good as Jianwen for four years. Under such a situation, he could only think of a way to speed up. He originally wanted to seize a handle Beijing had in Nanjing, such as Yao Guangxiao.
Then he forced his teacher to cooperate with him.
Now I have to make this straightforward temptation.
However, he was sure that Huang Zicheng must have connections with Beijing.
Huang Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "Who in the world can force you?"
Ding Xian was secretly happy. He was not afraid of Huang Zicheng's rejection, but he was afraid of not responding at all. Ding Xian said: "Senior Brother Huang, it is meaningless to say this now. Everything must be moved forward. If Brother Huang had not returned to Nanjing, the person in charge of general affairs in the cabinet now would not be Yang Shiqi, but you, Brother Huang. .If the two capitals merge into one, has Brother Huang ever thought about where your position would be?"
"Is there a place for you in the cabinet?"
"Even if you are below Yang Shiqi, can you look up to other juniors?"
This sentence spoke to Huang Zicheng's heart.
Many times, fortune is hard to predict. Huang Zicheng has always been He Xi's right-hand man by He Xi's side. Follow He Xi to establish the initial industrial system. But precisely because he did well, he was transferred back to the capital to establish the Shaofu system.
But something went wrong. The current situation has arrived.
In fact, the industrial systems behind the current war between Beijing and Nanjing were established by He Xi and Huang Zicheng respectively.
Although Huang Zicheng's ability is not as good as that of He Xi, he can maintain the current industrial system and expand production. Supplies to the front line were constantly increasing. This is not something ordinary people can compare with.
Huang Zicheng knows the current situation better than anyone.
Not to mention that Huang Zicheng has connections with Beijing. Simply speaking, Huang Zicheng saw the weapons obtained from Beijing, but he just couldn't make them, especially the steam engines. He has known about steam engines for a long time, and Huang Zicheng participated in the research and development of early models of steam engines.
He knows the difficulties and problems involved. These are problems he cannot solve.
The gap in industry leads to the gap on the battlefield.
This is irreversible.
Huang Zicheng did not have any resentment towards He Xi. But as time went on, Huang Zicheng had to consider more issues, and now Beijing should win for sure. His position in the Beijing court was just as Ding Xian said.
It is impossible for him to compare with Yang Shiqi.
After all, Yang Shiqi is in charge of finance, and he may be awarded a knighthood for it in the future. Huang Zicheng was unwilling and had no choice. But if he doesn't do something, the future will be worse than nothing.
Going up to Yang Shiqi, in Liaodong there were no subordinates who directly reported to him for power, but all of them came before him.
How could Huang Zicheng be reconciled to this?
Huang Zicheng couldn't help but said, "What do you think?"
Ding Xian said: "Of course there is. The ministers in Nanjing also want to have a place in the Beijing court."
