The great emperor of crossing

No one expected that Liang Qichao's movements would be so fast. He arrived at Tan Sitong's house immediately after leaving the royal garden.

"Brother, it seems that several of us may be used. Today's morning court can be said to give people a new look. The system of three provinces and six ministries has finally been overthrown. The era that belongs to us is finally coming. It can be said that we will continue to You have to bring out all your talents.”

The excited Liang Qichao didn't know how to say such things completely, but Tan Sitong seemed very calm, perhaps because he hadn't been in court for many years, so he didn't feel very deep about these things.

"Don't get excited, what's going on?"

"The emperor is going to set up a central bank. I recommended you to be my deputy governor. And I hope that after everything is done, you will be in charge of the entire central bank in the future. I still want to be that economic minister."

"Do you mean to say that the Emperor has agreed to a central bank?"

"It's not that I asked the emperor to agree. The emperor found me today and told me directly, and within a month, the first company in the empire will be established."

After hearing the news, Tan Sitong was a little surprised.

"And what did he say about the constitutional monarchy?"

"The emperor has not yet given a clear answer, but today's early court has mentioned the concept of a national transition council. He believes that the current quality of the people has not yet reached the point where a council can be held, so we will conduct an experiment through the transitional council. , I think once the Yihui is established, the next step is to create a constitution."

Hearing this, Tan Sitong was startled.

"Does that mean it's finally time for us to show off our ambitions?"

"It can indeed be understood in this way. The era we live in is really great. There is such an emperor who can take power and a group of ministers who seem to be completely civilized. That is to say, we don't need to worry about any negative effects at all. .”

"Since this is the case, we must help the emperor to do things well. It's just that setting up a central bank is not such a simple matter. The most important thing is that we have to get the currency. We must hurry up and give the current silver to Get rid of it and use paper money directly.”

"You are absolutely right."

Zhang Yi unexpectedly came here uninvited, which surprised everyone.

"Why did Mr. Zhang choose to come to us? Are our philosophies different?"

"As long as it is something that is beneficial to the reform of the country, I think we should all contribute. I am older than you, so my views on certain issues may be much more conservative, but I am the Tianhua Empire now. Prime Minister Wang, so I have to put everything in place, in fact, just after you left, the emperor called me to the royal garden, and then told me about the central bank, so I It just came here without stopping.”

These people were very surprised by Zhang Yi's words. They did not expect that such a veteran official who seemed to be indifferent to old times could actually say such very inspiring words.

"That is to say, you are now very supportive of currency reform?"

"If you continue to use silver, on the one hand, it will bring a great burden to the country, and it will also cause some pollution due to over-exploitation of silver mines. One advantage of using paper money is that it is easy to carry, and now papermaking has become more popular. Consider using it."

"What you said is very true."

Wei Yang, who had just become the Chief Prosecutor of the Procuratorate, also came in front of everyone.

"Although I am now in charge of judicial work, I am still very interested in your upcoming reforms. You can ask us any questions about the central bank. Anyway, I also made the first reform, so we all know a If the empire does not change, it will really be over."

I didn't expect such a reform to be completely unrestricted by resistance. The most important thing is that everyone seems to want to think in one place.

"You have a very good prospect now, because the country's interest groups have not yet fully formed, so the emperor's choice to start making changes at this time is a very correct choice. I can tell you very clearly that only in this way, once Only by going on can we make the entire empire stronger."

Wei Yang intends to express his thoughts once and for all.

"Actually, the currency reform is not the first thing you think of. Zhang Yi and I have already thought about this problem when we were solving the problem in Bashu some time ago. It would be great if there was a bank at that time, and people only need to go to the bank with some accounts to deposit and withdraw money.”

"So the two adults think it is better to start the currency reform first, or to establish the central bank first?"

"My suggestion is to carry out currency reform first, because you must understand the currency system reform before you can figure out your ideas and establish a central bank. If you establish a central bank first, it will give others a feeling of decoration. Our court is very pragmatic. , so there must be many people who will make some sarcasm on this basis."

This is definitely not alarmist talk, because Wei Yang had already encountered such a thing when he carried out reforms back then, but at that time everyone was still very careful, so there was no trouble, and at that time Zhao Lie was himself The only backing is the prosperity that followed.

"Now that we have passed the most dangerous period, let us move. Our empire now has a lot of money houses. At present, we are starting to reform the currency system. The first and most important thing is to solve the problem through legislation. Now people This method is quite acceptable, so I decided to pass a legislation to let everyone know that the currency is no longer what it used to be.”

Wei Yang still felt that administrative means should be used to let everyone understand the importance of currency.

"If that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhang Yi still thinks this matter is worth discussing, but since the elder brother said so, it seems that it is really worth a try.

"What? Instead of coordinating through the market, what about legislation?"

Liang Qichao still doesn't quite understand this method.

"You have to get used to the way our citizens do things. Most areas are more interested in the government's new laws, so reforms are necessary, and legislation is the best way."
