Chapter 011
"What does this mean? It's not long since it opened, and it's going to be closed again? If I had known that it would be so hard, I wouldn't it be over!" Bo Jiao took out a few pages of paper from the envelope, glanced at it a few times, and immediately began to slap the table. Please search (Print% for the most complete reading! The novel was more tiring than the ten years he was the governor of Kalamba Port. Even if the dangers of the Arabs were not completely solved, it would be not so troublesome to leave him a ship to be stationed in Kalamba Port.
"I understand. Your Majesty is not getting angry with your adviser, nor is he trying to pursue Minister Yi's affairs. He is not satisfied with the open policy we have made and thinks it is too unsafe. I have also felt that the things we have made are indeed too loopholes. If it is the same as what is said above, it is too easy for someone to assassinate Your Majesty or others. Just hide somewhere, and when Your Majesty approaches, you don't even need a musket, and two crossbows can solve all the problems. I know Your Majesty better. If anyone makes him uncomfortable and cannot eat well and sleep, then no one can feel comfortable. This time, I'm afraid that he will touch his reverse scale." Kong Pei never said anything. As the oldest minister in this government, he had hope of becoming the prime minister. It is precisely for this reason that he usually doesn't take the initiative to express his opinion, just because he is afraid that Bo Jiao will think too much.
Now it's impossible to say it, but he doesn't know why others think about it. Anyway, he doesn't want to lose this minister and go back to the warship to compete for the position with a group of little guys. It's too embarrassing and can't compete for them. Those children are all graduates from professional schools, and they are a rough man, and who can't be the best at a glance. Only by finding out the real reason for His Majesty's anger can you find a way to explain or recover to His Majesty. Hong Tao is not a very ruthless person. As long as he doesn't involve too principled issues, he can generally get good results. Of course, maybe he has to pay a price. This emperor is even more atrocious than a profiteer, and he is very good at taking advantage of the situation.
"Don't Your Majesty have a guard?" Hearing Kong Pei's analysis, Bo Jiao's consultants couldn't help but interrupt again.
"Guard?...Prime Minister Bo, did you ask them to avoid it first? I think Your Majesty is right. The system should be abide by it, otherwise what else can the system be used for? We fought with the Mongolians for a long time, but we just didn't want them to implement their system. The blood flowed and the money was spent. We couldn't protect ourselves for a long time, and we had to destroy ourselves."
Kong Pei habitually talked about the Guard, but when he saw the person asking the question, he could no longer help but be angry. He did not oppose young people entering the government, nor did he slowly give them power. However, these young people were too anxious and too aggressive, and sometimes they should rub their spirits and let them know what hardships are and that they can't do whatever they want.
"You go out first..." Bo Jiao no longer dared to protect his think tanks. Hong Tao didn't know how to explain and got annoyed the ministers again. Even if he was the Prime Minister, the prime minister, was really the last. He didn't want to resign because the Prime Minister, the actual supreme leader of the empire, could do a lot of things. The taste of power was bitter and sweet. He felt that he could bear the bitterness and hadn't tasted enough. Besides, Governor Kalamba was already merciful. Why did he do if he didn't become the Prime Minister? Can't let Mercy give the Governor to himself?
"Your Majesty's guard is actually similar to that. The Marines have always been standing guard for the palace. It turns out that Your Majesty is the commander of the Royal Fleet. He has the right to allocate the Marines. Since he resigned, he has returned the Marines. From this point of view, Your Majesty is indeed better than us. He has always acted according to the rules. Currently, there are only four Marines who are his guards. In fact, he doesn't want these four people, but this was approved by the Council before, and it has not been time to change it, so it will be implemented like this. The key is not that the guards are not guards. Your Majesty just doesn't want to hide in his own home like a thief. Everyone should know what kind of person he is.
If you have nothing to do, you will wander around the city and you are unwilling to follow people. In this situation, let alone your majesty, I dare not leave outside casually. What if there is a Mongolian spy among the people who come, I am the commander of the squadron in the Battle of the Three Kingdoms, which is enough for them to give me a few crossbows? And you, you are also the commander of the squadron. Do you dare to go out and go around?" After Bo Jiao's consultants reluctantly left the conference room, Kong Pei continued to talk about the matter of the Royal Guard. This is a historical issue, and most people don't know, including the ministers here. The ones who know the most should be Cixi and Ciqi brothers. They also have their own problems in the Royal Guard.
"Minister Kong is right, Your Majesty does not have a guard... I originally planned to draw a guard from the police for Your Majesty, but everyone knows that the police station has just been established, and many people have not even experienced military training. It is not appropriate to be a royal guard, so it has been delayed. As for this security issue, I have supported Your Majesty and the Parliament's decision with both hands and feet. If Jinhe City can enter as casually as it is now and I will give me twice the number of staff, I will not be able to guarantee your safety. I have received more than ten reports in the past two months.
The case happened, and two times our residents almost broke the foreign businessmen with guns. They leaned around and rushed into the yard, but they actually wanted to drink water. The problem is that we are not here to play this. If this is really a death, who will I go to reason with?" Before he finished speaking, the new police chief Ci Qi spoke. He expressed his support for Kong Pei's analysis and at the same time, he supported the parliamentary proposal he had just read. This matter is the most beneficial to him. It would be better to completely close Jinhe, so he, the police chief, was much more relaxed.
"I also support demarcating areas for foreign merchants to prevent them from walking around. In fact, there is no specialty to buy in Jinhe City, and there is not much export-enabled goods to trade. At the beginning, I supported the opening of the port just to make our merchants go out. If we really treat Jinhe City as a trading port, it would be inappropriate. There are too many things that need to be kept secret here, and no one can guarantee that these things will not be spread over time. We have a sense of confidentiality and the workers have a sense of confidentiality, but can the workers' families and children understand this?" After Ciqi finished speaking, Li Niang took over the words and expressed her opinion.
"Actually, from a hygiene perspective, I don't support full opening, as it will be easy to bring in foreign infectious diseases. Although our ships often come in and out, our crew members have received training in this area and have necessary preventive measures. However, the crew members and merchants from other countries do not have these perceptions. When the army comes, there are the Royal Navy and the Imperial Army. If the plague comes, it can only be relied on God." Huang Sha now has another part-time job, the Minister of the Imperial Health Department. She is preparing to build two large hospitals in Jinhecheng and Mayigang. From a work perspective, this matter is very neutral and unbiased. Don't think that Huang Sha is Hong Tao's younger siblings, so she should speak to Hong Tao. Since Chen Qihong died in battle, her relationship with Hong Tao has been cold. Even though she knows that Hong Tao is not blamed for her husband's death, the knot in her heart is difficult to open.
"Where are you guys?" Bo Jiao saw so many people coming forward to support him, and he didn't plan to listen to everyone's detailed reasons anymore, so he simply made a statement.
"I have no objection." Wu Dalang was the first to express his position.
"..." Huang Tao was scolded by Hong Tao for no reason. Although it was not targeted at him, he also spared him. He was in a bad mood and just waved his hand to express his no objection and was too lazy to say anything.
"I have a little different opinion..." In the end, only Yi Yi from the Supervision Department was left. He hesitated for a few seconds and planned to express some disagreement.
"If you have any opinions, this matter is decided. Although Minister Qi is not here, his attitude is very clear. Minister Wen has not come back in the Song Dynasty, so he abstained. Minister Li immediately drafted a proposal for me and gave it to the meeting!" Bo Jiao glanced at Yi Yi, gritted his teeth before he did not scold him, but he did not listen to his opinion and made a decision directly.
The combat plan he handed over to him and said a lot of good things for the officers. Now that he thought about it, he and his advisers were probably not just an ordinary first meeting or admiration. The first two advisers were also recommended by him. This guy has a connection with the military and political circles, which is very complicated. Maybe there is a shadow behind this matter. If Hong Tao hadn't broken his face this time, he would have foolishly followed the Tao they had set.
Hong Tao doesn't like someone to plot against him, and Bo Jiao doesn't like him either. He is a soldier and does not allow such people to exist on the warships. This is a threat to everyone's safety. But Bo Jiao has not yet paid attention to him, and his uncle is still preparing to exercise his veto power. It is still unknown whether he can use this proposal to calm Hong Tao's anger.
In fact, Bo Jiao thought too much, including the ministers in the parliament and the government, and Hong Tao was not angry or angry at all, nor was he worried because his own safety was not guaranteed. All this was for others to show, with the purpose of making trouble for the government and preventing them from operating efficiently. That's right, it's just making trouble. High efficiency is a good thing when the direction is correct, but if the direction is wrong, it will harm people more than low efficiency.
Hong Tao believes that the current development direction of the imperial government is a bit wrong, but relying on conventional means cannot stop the government and parliament from continuing to make great strides, so he can only play some unconventional things with them. For example, relying on his seniority, and using various means to make trouble for them as the rules allow, dragging them forward. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it is to the empire. When their enthusiasm passes, they can get back the right direction without saying it themselves.
