The debate over the attack by Japanese pirates continued until Wu Feng returned to Beijing. The issue of accelerating the construction of the navy to ensure the sovereignty of the empire's maritime territories even reached a consensus in the Imperial Senate and the People's Council. They were prepared to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to return to Beijing to start the dynasty. The co-signer pointed out that many representatives of the People's Council even requested the Imperial Ministry of the Interior to strengthen the management of foreigners in the Jiangnan and East China Sea coastal areas, especially the monitoring of the Japanese in Tang Dynasty, to prevent these Japanese from stealing information and causing chaos within the Empire.
This is the first time Wu Feng has gone to court after returning to the imperial capital from Jiangnan. Although important political matters are reported to Wu Feng who is staying in Jiangnan at any time, many trivial matters have slowly been left behind. They are said to be trivial matters, but they are really Most of the matters that can be discussed in court affairs are matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and cannot be ignored at all. It can be said that all the court affairs that have been accumulated for several months need to be discussed and finalized one by one in this day. Wu Feng also knows that today must be an extremely hard day, but he just returned to the imperial capital and if he doesn't make out with Jiu Kuang's disciples, what will happen? It was unreasonable, especially for Angel who was pregnant.
After a night of sex, Wu Feng became the most powerful dragon in the world, and even the seven daughters in the imperial family, Situ Yutang, who was the emperor, and Lin Yuexin, who was still breastfeeding, had sex together for the first time, and An Qi'er also forced her body to please. Lang Jun, after a night of joy, Sanyang Zhenqi has reached the stage of refining Qi and transforming into a god. It has no impact on Wu Feng's spirit. On the contrary, he is even more energetic. Only at this time does Sanyang Zhenqi gradually show its power. The advantages.
It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is in a very good mood and handles court affairs with ease. They almost came to order one thing, and even Xiao Tang and Bo Jinchen were overjoyed by Wu Feng's performance after returning from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Xiao Tang has done a good job in providing disaster relief in the north. The Government Council has gone all out to avoid the disorderly movement of refugees as much as possible. If the refugees in that government suffer from poor livelihoods due to the government's ineffective disaster relief or poor management, Changes, the Supervisory Yuan must investigate and deal with them severely, without mercy! Linghu Yi, you can send your supervisory envoys to the lowest level to understand the people's situation. Don't sit in the city all day listening to those officials boasting about themselves. If there is evidence to prove it, Their work is not effective. Lian tells you. You are also involved!" Although his attitude was kind, Wu Feng's tone was extremely cold. The first thing he did when he returned to the imperial capital was to learn about the disaster relief situation in the north. Even after having fun with Angel. While the two were sleeping in each other's arms, Wu Feng was also discussing this matter with An Qier.
matter, which shows his concern for this matter.
"Don't worry, your majesty. I have just returned from Peiping. Although Yanyun has encountered a severe drought that is rare in history, the vast majority of local officials at all levels have done their jobs well. There are very few who dare to make a splash. I have ordered supervisors to go there first." Removed from office. After the investigation is clear, it will be handed over to the court for disposal. My subordinates do not dare to wander around the city leisurely as His Majesty said. They all go to various towns and villages incognito to understand the situation, and report every three days. This I can guarantee that."
Linghuyi hurriedly went out to ask for help. Who is the director of the Imperial Intelligence Service, Gu Quan, the brother of Gu Ji, His Majesty's close friend before he became famous? The Southwest War Intelligence Department made a mistake, and the Control Council only intervened in the investigation. After truthfully reporting the situation to His Majesty who was still staying in Yuhang, a few days later there was an edict removing him from the post of director of the General Intelligence Agency. Who is Gu Dengyun? His Majesty the Emperor's brother-in-law was still dismissed from his post and kept on probation. He committed meritorious deeds and caused a political earthquake in the imperial capital. The envoys of the Privy Council and the Director of the War Readiness and Logistics Department also quickly submitted letters asking for disciplinary action. Fortunately, His Majesty kept him in custody. Otherwise, this turmoil will really lead to the first major political storm since the establishment of the empire.
His Majesty the Emperor seems to be in a good mood at the moment, but if he really breaks the rules, he will not neglect it at all. When he is rewarded, he will be rewarded, and when he is punished, he will be punished. This is His Majesty the Emperor's inherent style. Linghuyi knew this very well.
"Well, Linghu Yi, we need to strengthen supervision of officials from all over the country, especially Yan Yun and Beiyuan officials. Now is a time of crisis, and it is also a critical period that tests the integrity of local officials. If there are any offenders, we will not tolerate them! "After a pause, Wu Feng then continued: "If they perform well, the Alliance will never treat them badly. The Alliance can clearly tell the ministers here. You may wish to send a message to the officials below. The Alliance has many positions, etc. With them, the empire still has several vacancies for city guards in the mainland. At present, the empire is expanding millions of square kilometers in the west. Solian and Punja are about to establish counties. There are dozens of fertile fields in De'an in South India and De'an in West India. Thousands of miles away, Mei Li has already surrendered. Cui Wenxiu has repeatedly requested the Lianhe to send local officials to manage it. The Lianhe is still hesitant about where so many officials will come from? As long as they have good moral character and outstanding talents, the Lianhe will never be stingy in giving. , I’m afraid they don’t have that ability!”
Wu Feng's words immediately attracted the heads of the ministers. This was the first time that His Majesty the Emperor publicly responded to the establishment of Solian and Punja County on a formal occasion. Now, he also mentioned the West Indian De'an and Panzi County. Nan Indian De'an and Meliga came in. Although the empire's control of Melli had already spread in the imperial capital, the taste was quite different when it came from His Majesty the Emperor's mouth.
"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to clarify something. In recent days, many gentry and businessmen have come to ask me about the establishment of the administrative region of the Indian region. They have invested heavily in the Indian region and are very concerned about this issue. I have always hoped that the empire can give an accurate definition so that they can feel at ease. I wonder if your Majesty has a detailed timetable for handling the issues in the Indian region?" The person who came forward to petition was Zeng Guohong, the Minister of Commerce and Trade of the Empire, who was also He is a veteran of the former dynasty. He had maintained a very good relationship with Wu Feng before the establishment of the empire. After the establishment of the empire, he also stayed on as Minister of Commerce and Trade.
"The Government Affairs Council and the Federation have been discussing what Mr. Zeng asked about. Although there is no accurate timetable yet, the League has a rough idea in mind. It is estimated that a satisfactory answer will be given to the people soon. Mr. Zeng might as well Inform those gentry and merchants that no matter what method the empire finally adopts to manage this area, their interests and property will be absolutely guaranteed by the empire, so they should rest assured and focus on how to make more money." Wu Feng had also long ago Be prepared and don't miss anything.
"Your Majesty, the opinions on the reform of the currency system by the Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Central Bank have been reviewed and approved by the Executive Council of the Imperial Council and submitted to Your Majesty for reading. I don't know what Your Majesty thinks of this plan. If Your Majesty has no other opinions, I sincerely request you. Your Majesty can issue it as soon as possible so that the currency reform can be completed as soon as possible."
Finance Minister Tian Yi and Central Bank Governor James also came out to raise another important issue at the meeting. Currency reform was already on the agenda before the establishment of the empire. Since the currency of the empire has always been used by the previous dynasty, and with the further increase of commercial circulation, the use of metal coins for imperial gold coins has become increasingly unsuitable for economic development needs. Although The development of banks has made it possible to use checks and bills of exchange to settle large amounts of money, but small amounts of cash still use gold coins, which contain precious metals. This method increasingly makes businessmen feel uncomfortable. Convenient, so the Imperial Treasury and the Imperial Central Bank have been planning to issue banknotes to replace the inconvenient imperial gold coins, with denominations ranging from one gold coin to one hundred gold coins, which will greatly facilitate the operations of merchants.
Since the issuance of banknotes requires the preparation of gold reserves to prevent currency devaluation, the empire was unable to achieve balance of payments due to the initial establishment and excessive war consumption in the early stage, so this plan has always been a tentative plan and cannot be implemented, and now it comes from South India The addition of the Tik people's treasury in the De'an area has made the imperial treasury more substantial. The reserve system in the newly revised "Imperial Bank Act" also requires that the reserves of private banks must be stored in the imperial treasury in the form of gold. This has greatly increased the amount of gold stored in the empire's treasury, and the news from Meili is also good, so Tian Yi and James hope to complete the currency reform plan as soon as possible at this time.
"Well, the time is now ripe. This currency reform plan should be implemented. I'm sure. After the meeting of the DPRK today, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank will be responsible for implementation. Paper money and gold coins can be circulated at the same time, but the circulation of gold coins must be gradually reduced. The quantity, mainly paper money, supplemented by gold coins, must ensure that the exchange of paper money for gold coins is absolutely equivalent, and the Ministry of Interior must severely punish those who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble!" This is also a major event, and settling this major event can also promote the empire's economy. radiating further to the surrounding areas.
"Your Majesty, the negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nanyang Alliance on the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands have ended. Both parties have signed and will officially come into effect on August 1. Now the Mawen Islands belong to the empire. Nanyang Alliance personnel have been dispersed and are waiting for the empire to send personnel. Accept it, please give your Majesty's permission." Foreign Minister Wang Liao came forward to make the request.
"Well, the Administrative Council and the Privy Council can discuss the islands assigned to the empire first, solicit opinions from the navy, and seize the time to implement development while giving priority to ensuring the needs of the navy to ensure that these islands can play their role as soon as possible."
Negotiations with the Nanyang Alliance on the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands also went through several twists and turns, and finally ended with the Nanyang Alliance's concession. The empire obtained most of the islands it wanted to acquire, especially some exploration of the depths of the southern sea. The important island fell into imperial hands, which was a great victory in the history of imperial diplomacy.
