Chapter 128 Personal thoughts

In wealthy places, such as Huainan and Jiangnan, the officials in these places do not expect the court's salary to survive. You have no problem reducing their salary, and they don't care. In those poor places, such as Jiannan and Lingnan, they can't even be greedy for corruption. Their own lives rely on that salary. You reduce the salary of these people, and they can't even eat enough. What else do you have to be an official? You have no intention of becoming an official. Can you still expect them to be clean and honest and serve the people?

Therefore, Liu Guanghui's meaning in the memorial was that he did not oppose reform, but he had his own opinions on how to change it.

Liu Guanghui suggested that Zhao Xun should not be too rigid in the reform of official salaries, and it can be divided, and not kill everyone with one stroke. In that case, the scope of the incident is too wide and the resistance is too great. Some people can be divided into reforms, and other people can be divided into and maintained in the status quo. The advantage of this is that some people oppose and some people agree to minimize the resistance.

Zhao Xun pointed to the memorial and said, "You can take a look at this memorial."

Xiao Lezi, who was standing beside him, took the memorial and walked quickly, first handing it to Qin Anming, the highest-ranking one.

Qin Anming's eyes flashed when he saw the name on the surface of the memorial. Was this memorial written by Liu Guanghui?

When Qin Anming opened the memorial, he looked at it carefully. After a while, he finished reading it. Then he gave the memorial to Qian Mingdu beside him and asked them to take a look together. He himself fell into deep thought.

Qin Anming was not actually interested in Zhao Xun's financial reform. In his opinion, if he had never had it, he would be restless in his heart. What do people like Zhou Biming, Zhou Chuan, Qian Mingdu have? There is nothing, so they are so active, because only through change can they have the opportunity to get what others don't have, but they are different. They are already prime minister and family because they are growing stronger and have what they should have, so what else can they lack?

In my heart, Qin Anming did not want to join in. If Zhao Xun's reform was simpler, the risk was not too great. Qin Anming was willing to put in some effort. After all, to achieve today's status, personally, it is impossible for him to just focus on the rights brought by his status, and there are some ideals and wishes. However, Zhao Xun's reform involves too wide, from top to bottom, almost all of them are involved, and the reform is very strong, which will inevitably lead to fierce opposition and confrontation from everyone. In this way, the political risks brought by it are too huge.

But there is no way. Qin Anming is from the top and core of the Long Yi faction. He cannot avoid many things even if he doesn't want to.

Qin Anming wants to change this situation.

After Zhou Biming and others read Liu Guanghui's memorial, Qian Mingdu said to Zhao Xun: "Your Majesty, I think these suggestions from Liu Prime Minister are reasonable."

Zhao Xun said indifferently: "I know the priorities, so you must be as meticulous and perfect as much as possible in the reform. In addition to a few core goals, you can make some modifications in other aspects."

Qian Mingdu nodded: "I understand what the emperor means."

Qian Mingdu has always been responsible for the reform, but Zhou Biming and Zhou Chuan were the ones who gave suggestions and did specific matters. They had great wishes for the reform. They could be said to have given their all to suppress everything. It was precisely because of this attitude that Zhao Xun trusted and valued them so much.

Everyone discussed for a while. Before the meeting, Zhao Xun reminded Qin Anming: "Find an opportunity to let the air in the political affairs hall and see the attitude of the ministers."

"I understand."

Qin Anming nodded and responded.

After leaving here and walking to the door, Qin Anming slowed down. When Qian Mingdu approached, he spoke out and said, "Mr. Qian, the emperor trusts you very much. Sometimes, you should remind you that if something goes wrong, you will not be able to get out of it."

Qian Mingdu smiled bitterly and said, "What is the emperor's mind? Prime Minister Qin, don't you understand. If I sing the opposite tune in everything, the emperor will still trust me and use me?"

Most of the drafting and finalization of reform matters were Zhou Biming, and Zhou Chu and the other two were doing it. Although Zhao Xun designated Qian Mingdu to be the person in charge of this matter, in fact, he did not play much role in it. In terms of political direction, Qian Mingdu is different from Qin Anming. He is from a poor family. Everything he can do today is given by Zhao Xun. Therefore, Qian Mingdu doesn’t have that many ideas, and only knows one thing: be loyal to Zhao Xun and do whatever Zhao Xun says. Doing these things well does not require much talent. You can also get Zhao Xun’s reuse and trust. Qian Mingdu has his clear goals and cognition.

After saying all this, Qian Mingdu bowed to Qin Anming and then stepped away.

Looking at Qian Mingdu's back as he left, Qin Anming frowned and left as well.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, the groom asked softly: "Master, are you going home?"

"Go to Lu Zhongxun's residence."

Qin Anming's voice came out.

"Brother Li, you really pointed me a good place. I really don't know if you should thank you or hate you."

On the second floor of a restaurant, in the private room, Li Xun, Fan Zhongyun, Huang Baichuan and Huang Zhiwen sat.

Li Xun smiled and said meaningfully: "If you are just for yourself, then you should thank me. If you are for others, you should really hate me."

Huang Baichuan's new territory has three states, a large area, but a small population, an economy is not developed, and it has a certain room for development when it is close to Tubo and Dali, but the external pressure is also extremely high. For ambitious people, this is indeed not a good place, but if you just want to survive, it is more than enough.

Huang Zhiwen took Li Xun's words and said with a smile: "People's psychology is often like this. Before the result is obtained, there will always be some fantasies. Once the result is released, there will always be some shortcomings."

Fan Zhongyun said in a low voice: "Only if there is a deficit, there will be motivation. If you get too much, you will develop other thoughts."

Huang Zhiwen said seriously: "My grand commander has no other thoughts on the court and the emperor."

Fan Zhongyun smiled and didn't say anything.

Whether you have other thoughts is not based on saying it, but on making it. Everyone will say beautiful words. There is a saying that can be said well, and time can verify a person's authenticity.

Li Xun raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Baichuan, the appointment has arrived at the Ministry of War and will be passed to you tomorrow. I am here to congratulate you on your journey of success and great success."

Huang Baichuan picked up the wine glass and nodded: "Thank you, I owe you one person before. If you have any needs in the future, just speak up."
