Zhang Yi was happy in his heart. With his father and king holding the battle, he won this round of competition. Although the three major families of Yang, Wu and Ma have not yet expressed their support, it will not affect the overall situation of the reform and will be solved one by one later.
He always pays attention to Wu Rui and Liu Guang, these two people are his obstacles. Liu Guang has a livid face from the beginning to the end and says nothing. He does not have the final say in the affairs of the Liu family. In addition, he does not dare to openly oppose his brother.
.
The person Zhang Yi hates the most is Wu Rui. He supports it on the surface but secretly manipulates his subordinates to obstruct it. It is really bad.
However, the opposition alliance built by Wu Rui began to collapse. The civil and military officials present were also family bosses. They suddenly discovered that things were not as bad as they imagined. Zhang Yi did not harm their interests, but gave them a
A better choice.
From a national point of view, with centralized land management, food production is bound to increase sharply. At the same time, industry and commerce will be developed, and the vision will shift away from the three acres of land of one's own, and look at the world to make money from outsiders. Why not? In this way
Come, if the country is rich and the people are strong, you can form a large-scale army and unify China, and your followers will also be heroes!
In terms of public and private matters, and in terms of emotion and reason, they couldn't find any reason to refute, so they switched sides on the spot and stood on Zhang Yi's side.
When it comes to the National Bank, it is a place that manages money. No one can trust it. Only the royal family can trust it.
So the officials of the seven major families clapped their hands and applauded thunderously in the court, which meant that the reform had the support of the majority of people and the Dragon Project was officially launched.
Prime Minister Wu Rui was absolutely furious.
He never expected that Zhang Yi, whom he regarded as the bandit leader, would have such an exquisite idea. In addition, Zhang Yi also had countless gold. At the same time, Zhang Yi "robbed" Princess Xiaoliu, whom he regarded as his "daughter-in-law"
"Let's go", we are only one step away from the throne of the king. It can be said that all the good things have been taken care of by Zhang Yi alone.
Wu Rui was so angry that the bank even refused to let him get involved. Zhang Yi did it right. He couldn't breathe, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Zhang Yi saw his performance and thought that it was too late for Wu Rui to regret it. The king originally arranged a decent opportunity for him to leave the game, but he didn't cherish it. He would definitely fight back like a vicious dog.
Sure enough, Wu Rui regained her breath and stood up to publicly sing the opposite.
"Zhang Shoufu's reform plan is indeed unexpected, but it needs to be considered carefully. Reforms have been a major event since ancient times. When things get better, the country will prosper, but when it gets worse, it will decline. I think you want to open the country and do business with the surrounding barbarians. I think
, those barbarians are uncivilized beasts, do not understand etiquette, and mix men and women. In order to make money, dealing with these vulgar people, I am afraid it will corrupt our Chinese customs! This matter is of great importance, please think twice!"
Good guy, Wu Rui is also quite good and can pick out the bones from an egg.
However, after hearing what he said, everyone started to murmur.
The founding of the Kingdom of China is based on traditional Chinese culture, and good etiquette and customs have been inherited. Zhang Yi also particularly agrees with this point.
Zhang Yi glanced across the audience and saw everyone talking quietly in groups of twos and threes. The king was also a little worried, because everyone despised the barbarian tribe. This was a sense of national superiority.
Mr. Ma echoed: "We would rather be poor than lose our dignity as a human being for the sake of gold. Those uncivilized barbarians are cruel by nature and like to eat raw meat. Once we deal with them, China will definitely be affected in a very bad way."
"That's right!" Mr. Yang agreed, "We have always respected Chinese traditions and are a country of dignified etiquette. How can we lose our integrity and cater to the barbarians? Does your Majesty want to change the foundation of the country? Is it possible that we are going to worship the people again?
The same old path of money and weapons of destruction?”
The whole place was silent.
King Liu Kai didn't know what to say.
Princess Xiaoliu behind the curtain was angry and anxious. She looked at Zhang Yi worriedly. What she said seemed reasonable. How should she respond?
General Wang Zheng had nothing to say in response to such an accusation.
As for Zhang Yi's brothers, they have not yet been awarded official positions, so they are not qualified to speak, so they can only act in a hurry.
However, Zhang Yi smiled slightly.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on him. They didn't know why he could still laugh. He didn't know that if it didn't make sense, would the reform be shelved?
Zhang Yi is calm and composed. He understands the world better than anyone present, of course the world in the past. Chinese civilization is extremely excellent, but the civilizations of other nations are not bad either!
"Everyone!" Zhang Yi said confidently and calmly, "Because we are surrounded by barbarians, should we lock the country's gates and stay in seclusion? Wrong, and it is a big mistake!"
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded. Is Zhang Yi trying to make excuses?
"On the contrary, we must open our country and do business with the surrounding and even the whole world's ethnic groups, while spreading our culture and passing on the thoughts of our ancestors such as Laozi and Confucius to various ethnic groups. The reason why they eat raw meat is because
They don’t know how to cook, so we teach them how to cook so that they can eat delicious food. They wear animal skins and grass clothes because they have no clothes to wear after the great tribulation, so we let them wear gorgeous clothes!"
"Zhang Shoufu said it well!" General Wang Zheng shouted excitedly. He immediately understood Zhang Yi's reasoning and was inspired by it.
King Liu Kai, Princess Xiao Liu and the brothers also laughed. Zhang Yi is Zhang Yi, and his performance is always superior to others.
Those present realized that yes, it could be done.
"Everyone, we all admire the prosperous period of the Han and Tang Dynasties, with guests from all over the world, and extraordinary weather. It was the most glorious history of China!" Zhang Yi became more and more excited as he spoke, "The strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties was not protected by the Great Wall, but by opening up the country.
You can make friends with all nationalities from all over the world. You will not look down on others because they are backward, nor will you look down on them because they are backward.
We are afraid of others when they are strong. We can defeat barbaric peoples. We can protect weak peoples. Only in this way can we, China, become the greatest nation in the world, and can we, Chang'an, become a city that all peoples in the world aspire to.
,We can become the founders and leaders of the civilized world!"
"OK!"
"This is China!"
"Zhang Shoufu has great ambitions, outstanding vision, and a grand plan!"
There were cheers, applause and cheers. Princess Xiao Liu cried with joy, and King Liu Kai stood up from the throne and clapped his hands vigorously.
Who doesn’t want this kind of China? Why don’t those family bosses who are thinking about their own interests not want China to become the greatest nation in the world?
Even Mr. Yang and Mr. Ma couldn't help but nodded and clapped their hands.
There was only one Prime Minister, Wu Rui, who lowered his head in despair, extremely frustrated.
