After breakfast, I called Secretary Rong, and she told me that they had booked evening flights because Governor Wang was going to hold an executive meeting of the provincial government during the day today. She also told me that their itinerary had been sent to them.
Beijing Office.
I thought to myself, there is nothing to do today. If I had known earlier, there would be no need for me to rush here in advance. Originally, I thought that there were still things that we needed to cooperate with during this signing event, but yesterday Peter told
I said they took care of everything.
After breakfast, I called Peter's assistant and asked him to send a copy of the arrangements for this event to my mailbox. When I returned to the room, I checked my mailbox and found that it already contained the schedule he had just sent.
I read the email and felt that the other party had indeed arranged it very carefully. The representatives of both parties signing the contract were me and Peter. The press conference after the signing ceremony was arranged by the Director of the State Food and Drug Administration, the Minister of Health, and Peter.
He and Governor Wang sat on the rostrum and answered reporters' questions at the same time.
Of course I can understand such an arrangement. If it were a normal project, I should be present at the press conference. But after all, this is a big project and it is the only branch factory of this internationally renowned pharmaceutical company in our country. My level is still
Not meeting the standards required to appear in the media.
There is nothing I can do about signing the contract because I am the legal person of the future location of this company.
After reading this email, I forwarded it to the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government Office, and also sent a copy to Governor Wang’s secretary.
I checked the battery of my phone on purpose and then left the room. I wanted to go out for a walk while I had nothing to do today.
When I first arrived outside the Beijing Office, I happened to see Director Wu getting out of a taxi. I immediately understood that he did not come back to live here yesterday.
He saw me, smiled and said to me: "I drank too much yesterday, so I stayed outside. Huh? Where are you going?"
I looked at him and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. Why didn't you call me last night? I'll pick you up."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I was so drunk that I only remembered the final payment. How could I have thought of asking you to pick it up?"
Of course I knew that what he said was not necessarily true, and what I just said was just to express my attitude. So I stopped talking about this matter. I said: "Governor Wang and the others are going to
Just arrived. I met with Peter yesterday and they arranged everything. I just sent the agenda for tomorrow’s activities to the Provincial Government Office and Governor Wang’s secretary, so there is no news today.
I had nothing to do, so I wanted to go out for a walk. By the way, Director Wu, is it okay for the Minister of Health to attend the press conference tomorrow?"
He smiled and said: "It's no problem. Don't worry. Xiao Feng, let's do it. Anyway, I'm fine today. Let's go out for a walk together. Where do you want to go?"
Of course I couldn't refuse him. Although I really wanted to go out alone and feel the leisure of walking around alone, but now that he had spoken, I had no choice but to nod, "Beijing is a place like this."
Although I come here often and have visited all the major attractions, there is one place I have never been to once, and that is the Lama Temple."
He immediately stopped the taxi that was taking him back. After we got in the car, he asked me in surprise: "What are you doing there?"
I immediately thought: It seems that he doesn’t know much about the Yongzheng Emperor in history. In fact, this is not surprising. There have always been rumors about this emperor in folk legends, saying that he usurped the throne.
, and described him as an emperor who poisoned his father, angered his mother to death, and did not do his job properly. He also suppressed the thoughts of the Han people through literary inquisition and consolidated the rule of the Manchus. Until modern times, after many historical studies, these legends have been overturned one after another.
It made the evaluation of Yongzheng become more positive in modern times, praising his achievements in hard work, innovation in government, invigorating the economy, and improving people's living standards.
Meng Sen, a scholar of Qing history, praised him: "Since ancient times, there has been no monarch as diligent as Shizong." He also said, "His wisdom and diligence are really difficult for others to match."
Some experts praised him for being frugal in spending, saying, "The annual expenses of the Yongzheng harem are less than the daily expenses of the Wanli harem of the Ming Dynasty." etc. British historian Shi Jingqian believes that Yongzheng's father, Kangxi, was lax in his administration, and at the end of his reign, he was subject to
Troubled by the struggle for the throne and the degradation of the ruling ability of typical long-lived emperors, the Qing Dynasty at the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne had already experienced the crisis of bureaucratic organization expansion and corruption, and the deterioration of farmers' living standards; because Yongzheng was forty-five years old when he came to the throne, he was in the midst of political experience.
, a mature stage in spirit and personality, so he can accurately analyze problems and respond courageously. His reforms include both vigorous rectification and compromise with reality.
Some historians believe that although Yongzheng failed to understand and solve the fundamental problem of the Ming and Qing Third Empire as an introverted dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was able to establish a set of ruling systems that continued to operate for more than a hundred years and were still roughly effective, without degenerating into a "one hundred years after the founding of the country."
The foreign dynasty "died" should be attributed to the reforms of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Regarding the restoration of the true face of Emperor Yongzheng, the TV series of the recent period have made the most contribution, which also made more people understand that period of history. Including me, I only got to know this emperor by chance while watching a TV series.
The emperor had a new understanding.
However, it is estimated that Director Wu rarely watches TV, and is even less likely to study this period of history in the Qing Dynasty, so he is surprised by where I am going today.
I said: "As far as I know, Emperor Yongzheng was a rare diligent emperor in Chinese history. He was diligent in government affairs and lived a frugal life. According to historical data, there are more than 35,000 memorials written by Emperor Yongzheng alone in existence, among which
The total number of words divided by the thirteen years that Yongzheng was in power, the average was more than 8,000 words per day. Even today with the use of computers, it is difficult for someone to write an average of more than 8,000 words per day during the thirteen years. And it is said that he
He was exhausted because he stayed up all night reading and reviewing memorials every day. It can be said that this emperor played a connecting role in the prosperous ages of Kangxi and Qianlong. The Lama Temple was where he lived when he was a prince, and I have never been there.
I’ve seen it there, so I really want to visit the emperor’s former residence when I have free time today.”
He was even more surprised, "Really? The Emperor Yongzheng I know seems to be synonymous with cruelty. It is said that he invented the blood droplet. As long as a minister disobeys, he will send his subordinates to use the blood droplet to get it.
His head. And I heard that he seemed to have been secretly killed by Lu Siniang."
I couldn't help laughing, "Director Wu, what you are talking about are all folklore. When Emperor Yongzheng first came to the throne, he was faced with internal and external troubles. He could only vigorously carry out reforms and govern the country with an iron fist, which would inevitably damage the country.
The interests of those who have vested interests, and also the hatred of several brothers who wanted to be emperor but failed, I think these rumors come from these aspects..." (To be continued)
