"In this case, and your plan is so thorough, let's do it according to your wishes. However, recently the Prime Minister's Affairs Office is preparing to issue an industrial development plan. You know more about Western things. I think Let me hear your opinion."
The emperor stared at Gao Shaoyi for about two minutes. Seeing that Gao Shaoyi had no intention of retreating, he had no choice but to give in. What's more, retreating a little is always better than the original situation. If Gao Shaoyi had If no one evacuates, this will be the case.
Industrial development plan?
Gao Shaoyi looked at the memorials handed over by Eunuch Wei with some suspicion. In the history of the Daqian Empire, they had several industrial development plans, just to make up for the gap between themselves and Western countries, but regardless of Anyone who tries these plans has basically never succeeded.
On the one hand, it's because Westerners don't want us to develop. If we change from an agricultural country to a developed industrial country, how can we still have the opportunity to show off our power? The other is that the court simply doesn't have the right people. The officials who arranged it were all a bunch of losers. They either didn't understand Western industry or they were corrupt. How could these people make the plan a success?
If Gao Shaoyi had not appeared, the emperor might have given up on such an idea. However, after more than a year of development, both Haicheng Industrial Zone and Jingxi Industrial Zone are far ahead in the entire Daqian Empire. Moreover, Gao Shaoyi was still preparing for the industrial zones in the three southern provinces, so the emperor began to have ideas in his mind. Since Gao Shaoyi could do it, he could do it too.
Gao Shaoyi opened this industrial revitalization plan. It turned out that the emperor wanted to create a second industrial zone in the capital. At present, the largest industrial zone in the capital is the Jingxi Industrial Zone led by the Zhenlu Army. Although the control is in Gao Shaoyi's hands, Taxes should be paid, so the emperor also saw the benefits and planned to create a second industrial zone in the southwest of the capital. However, many of the projects have already been merged with the West Jing Industrial Zone. If this is done, there may be some problems. inappropriate.
"I am reporting to the Emperor that I think this matter is inappropriate."
After Gao Shaoyi's words came out, the emperor frowned. Are you only allowed to set up industrial zones, and not the court? It turns out that the emperor has given up on industrial zones, thinking that it will only cost the court money and will not achieve anything. But now the Suppression Army has nearly 200 factories under its control, and most of them have already achieved profitability. Even those Suppression Army who are not profitable are using money to support them, and they will definitely be able to achieve profitability in the future.
So the emperor looked a little greedy and asked his subordinates to come up with this plan. Even if your suppressing army didn't help, there was no need to oppose it in such a hurry. Will the imperial court have to be controlled by others in terms of industry in the future?
"You are right. If this industrial zone plan is passed, it will compete with your Beijing West Industrial Zone in the future. I don't think you need to take it to heart. This is also a personal suggestion of some ministers."
The emperor pretended to be relaxed and said that it was actually very embarrassing for the king of a country to speak like this and behave like this. The emperor also clenched his fists and was very angry in his heart.
"Weichen doesn't mean that. The key to doing business is competition. If competition can be formed, it will only benefit and not harm our country's economic situation. But if the emperor puts these people in charge, Weichen thinks it is inappropriate. They have bad natures."
Put it there, the emperor is planning to invest 26 million silver coins, and I estimate that in the end, 6 million silver coins will be used in the industrial zone, which is already a good thing."
Gao Shaoyi has always welcomed formal business development. Even if it will compete with the West Jing Industrial Zone in the future, Gao Shaoyi also feels that this is also a normal business development. He is in favor of it with both hands, but the emperor chose this
A few people can't do it. These guys can't do anything except corruption. They are basically like Mr. Wu in the court just now. They can only talk and talk without any practical ability.
After listening to Gao Shaoyi's words, the emperor's face became slightly better-looking. However, most of the people in the court were like this. It turned out that there were some useful people, but the emperor did not pay attention to them. Instead, they were all killed by the suppressing army.
After absorbing it, you can't get the people back now. What's more, even if you ask, Gao Shaoyi won't be able to return these capable people to you. There are not many capable people in the Daqian Empire, so they must keep them.
use it yourself.
"Then who do you think I should use?"
Was the emperor deliberately observing the bear when he said this? See if Gao Shaoyi is going to push his people up. If so, the emperor would rather this industrial zone be stranded than spend money to do things for Gao Shaoyi.
, Now the imperial court's financial constraints have reached the limit. Even if this plan is approved, these tens of millions of silver coins will still have to be loaned, and the control of the industrial zone must not be placed in Gao Shaoyi's hands.
"If the emperor asks Wei Chen to recommend it, then Wei Chen, the general person in charge of the industrial zone, recommends the prince, and he does not avoid relatives when recommending talents. Although he is Wei Chen's uncle, he can be trusted in terms of ethics. If you want to talk about the chief engineer
If so, Wei Chen recommends Mr. Rodel of the Juncker Empire."
When Gao Shaoyi mentioned these two candidates, the emperor's face softened a lot. Of course, the sentence "uncle" was a bit irritating to the emperor. Prince Ding is your uncle, am I not the same?
Prince Ding is loyal to the court. The emperor will not question this. Even if everyone in the court betrays Prince Ding, he will never betray him. As for Mr. Rodel of the Juncker Empire, he has always been the number one official in the Prime Minister's Affairs Office.
A consultant, this guy has also made achievements in the economic field, and he must have nothing to do with Gao Shaoyi. This also shows that Gao Shaoyi is dedicated to serving the public, and the two people he recommended must be considered good candidates.
The emperor was a little confused at this time. Gao Shaoyi had a bloody dispute with him over the garrison issue of the Suppression Army, and he would hardly take a step back. But now there is a plan for an industrial zone, and Gao Shaoyi actually recommended it all.
What is going on in the mind of a person who is beneficial to the imperial court? Does he really look down on this industrial zone? Or does he have other plans?
