"Alas, greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant...... Opening! It's easy to talk about the upper lip touching the lower lip, but do you know what problems we will face after opening up? Private ownership can be realized, and you can also do business yourself, but this is not necessarily a good thing, once this door is opened, it is likely that there will be endless troubles! Don't talk about you guys, even I won't be able to control this country. "It's been more than half a month since I returned to Jinhewan, and Hong Tao repeats similar words at various meetings every day, and his mouth is worn out, but he hasn't seen any effect.

In order to open up the ports of the empire, it is necessary to change the current system of the empire, and it is impossible to cope with this kind of market behavior purely by relying on large state-owned enterprises, and if you want to do business, you have to open a company, and if you want to run a maritime business, you have to invest personally. But in this way, the government's control over the country will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer be able to protect the whole country under his wing.

This step is to be taken, not now. According to the original plan, this step should be implemented by the successor little emperor in his later years, after he abdicated, according to the steps he arranged, which can be regarded as a political achievement after the little emperor ascended the throne.

In the present environment, it is most effective to run the Golden River Empire with this model of state capitalism, or military communism. It's a pity that Hong Tao patronized to influence the thoughts of the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, he forgot a question, the residents of the Jinhe Empire are also people, and they also have people's various desires and desires, and the ideas that the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants will accept, they will also be affected.

They used to live a hard life, and suddenly they have a good life. My mind is still blank and I won't ask for more. After all these years of familiarity, they also recovered from the huge surprise. began to ask for more, this is also human nature, Hong Tao has no way.

"My suggestion is to keep it as it is, at most to settle the matter of the residents of the empire going abroad, and the port is still not open, and vote now." Hong Tao, who should have spoken, felt that everything was clear, but as for whether everyone understood or not, whether they thought clearly. I can't take care of it myself. At the beginning, this system was set by itself, so it can only maintain its normal operation, and it can be changed. But Hong Tao didn't want to admit that he had played bad again this time, and he had to hold on.

The results of the vote prove that everyone has listened carefully to their warnings and considered them carefully, and it also proves that human nature is really powerful. Some of the pro-openness legislators voted against it, but not enough. Not enough to influence the final vote of the Parliament. The Imperial Diet agreed to the quid pro quo proposed by the Great Song and opened its own port. Probably to make up for the Emperor's first defeat, the Imperial Parliament decided to leave the right to decide which port to open.

"You have decided to kill, does it make a difference whether you wipe your neck or stab your stomach? Bring sand to the beach! Hearing this decision of the parliament, Hong Tao turned his face on the spot. It was the first time he had hurt someone in Parliament, and it was also the last. Because he quit his job, he resigned from the posts of Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Commander of the Navy at that time, and became a relatively pure emperor. Except for the veto of parliamentary resolutions, there is no real power.

"Since the beating, I was rescued from the sea by the Bo family. It's been 16 years now. In these sixteen years, I have worked hard with all of you to build a vast empire. At the beginning, I was a young man who was just thirty years old, and I can't say that I am more personable than Pan An. Now when you look at me, I'm almost fifty years old, with a lot of wives and children, and my hair is white. To put it bluntly, these are all paid for the empire. ”

"It's a miracle for me. Like me, everyone is from a civilian background, and no one has experience in running such a large country, so I established a rule that everyone should discuss and do everything. Although today I am a loser, it is not the main reason for my resignation. On the contrary, I am partially happy about today's failure, and that's why I built this set of rules in the first place. As long as there is this set of rules, everyone in power will encounter what happened to me today. Failure is normal, and if it doesn't, something is wrong with the rules. ”

"I can't always stand in front and walk with everyone, there will be a day when I can't walk. Rather than changing people when they can't walk, it's better to let others try it in advance, and the most important thing is to let young people try, after all, they will take the road in the future. In fact, Vice Minister Kong has been doing the work of a minister all along, and he can also be qualified for this position; Minister Wen has enough talent and knowledge of the empire and surrounding countries; Governor Po Jiao was also one of the candidates for Prime Minister of the Empire; Mercy, Fish, and Shrimp can all take over the position of Governor of Port Karalamba. ”

"Although I no longer hold the posts of Reich Chancellor and Minister of Defence, I am still the Reich, and they can come to me if they need my help. In fact, as long as everyone carefully maintains this set of rules, whoever becomes the prime minister is almost the same, which is the most valuable asset of the empire. I hope that in the future, as you do today, you can express 100% of your opinions that are right, let the empire become the empire of the majority, and don't let it become the empire of a few people, this is the last word I left to the empire as the prime minister of the empire, thank you! ”

Regardless of whether the parliament agrees or not, Hong Tao will not do it, in fact, this is not a pick, when the imperial political system was determined, his positions as imperial prime minister, minister of defense, minister of supervision, and commander of the navy were temporary. The Minister of Supervision had already thrown it to Cixi two years ago, and now it should be said that it is logical to throw the Imperial Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense as well. It's just that this opportunity was not found by himself, but forced out.

The commander of the navy has to be left to someone else, and the emperor can't let the minister of defense shout and shout, and being a bare-bones emperor himself is the ultimate perfection of this set of rules. In this set of rules, no one is allowed to have too much power that would upset the balance. Now that I have the opportunity to set a precedent for not being attached to rights, why not do it, so that I can set an example for future generations, and it is also the most important thing for the founding emperor to do.

No matter how Hong Tao explained, everyone still didn't understand the emperor's performance, as soon as the front foot entered the house, a large group of old men poured in with the back foot, all of whom had a special relationship with Hong Tao's family. They came to persuade Hong Tao not to be angry. If they really don't agree with the decision of the parliament, then they vote again, and they split up to go to the deputies to do their work. Let them all vote no.

"Grandpa, Dad, Uncle Huang, Uncle Wen, Uncle Qi, Mother-in-law...... Don't persuade me, it's too tiring for me to do so much work alone. In the past, our country was very small, and I was still busy, but now that the country is getting bigger, I really can't take care of it. This matter has nothing to do with whether the port is open or not, and even if the port is not opened, these official positions on me will have to be slowly given to others. I always have so many rights in my hands. If you are not afraid of others, you will not feel comfortable in your heart, I can't say one thing and do another, that will have a bad impact on the younger generations. ”

In the face of the persuasion of these old people. Hong Tao couldn't laugh or cry, the cost-effective Imperial Council was an ornament in their eyes, and they would overthrow it if they wanted to. If you think about them, you have to resign. Okay. I have been busy for more than ten years. The root still hasn't changed.

"But can those juniors do a good job?" Everyone is an old man who has been with Hong Tao for more than ten years, and when he looks at Hong Tao's unhurried appearance, he knows that persuasion is also in vain. This emperor is a character who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and no one can persuade him to do what he has thought of. In Beijing dialect, this is called wilting bandits, bold and thoughtful. Since he couldn't persuade him, the old man of Huang Hai began to try to persuade Hong Tao from another angle.

"I'm not leaving, I'm still the Emperor. If you don't do it well, you can't do it. I broke their legs! Hong Tao's answer completely cut off the hopes of these old people, and he was right. Although he is no longer the prime minister and defense minister, Hong Tao has not disappeared from the center of power in the empire, and is still nominally the supreme leader of the empire. If he wanted to, it wouldn't take half a day, and the country would have to be surnamed Hong.

"You just let Tao Yanzi rest, give birth to a few more sons, he didn't say that I always thought he was the big man with a tiger's back when he first came, now look at him, it's hard for him, his hair is gray." It was still the old man Bofu who felt sorry for his son-in-law and stood firmly on Hong Tao's side.

"Hey, really...... yes, we're all old like this. I can still make do with walking, look at the few of you, who can't stick when you go out. Two days ago, the boss of the Wen family left, I really don't feel good in my heart, seeing that my brother is gone one by one, maybe I won't be able to get up in bed one morning. Think about the time when I rowed a small boat with Tao Lingzi to the sea and went to the ground cage, I was still a good boy, time flies so fast...... "The Yellow Sea is more and more old-fashioned, and it is off topic when I talk about it." When it came to life and death, everyone sitting there was silent, only Qi Zu was a little younger here, but he was almost sixty.

"No loss! It's worth living in this life, I can close my eyes if I die immediately, and when I see the old ancestor below, I also raise my head, and the old Wen family is raised in my hands! You are the same, what were you before? Stinky fisherman! I don't know if I'll be able to come back tomorrow when I go out today, what are you now? is either a parliamentarian or a minister, and the children in the family are all promising, and I won't change the emperor if I am given it. To be content, if you have the kung fu to sigh here, it is better to ask Xiao Tao more to see what he lacks, and don't forget to dig wells. Xiao Tao, why don't you come to me and let us continue to build a ship! Your Uncle Wen is gone, and I'm left with an old man dragging two half-crippled legs, and I can't play anymore. ”

Wen Lao Er is one of the few people who firmly stands on Hong Tao's side, but unfortunately, like Qi Zu, he is not a parliamentarian, has no right to vote, and there is no way to be in a hurry. Now that Hong Tao has resigned from his position, it is not a bad thing for the two of them, and if there are fewer things, they can make time to communicate with them more.

"Don't, Second Brother Wen, the empire has enough fleets now, so there is no need to rush to build ships. Let's go to my side, I haven't got the lathe that Your Majesty said yet, that thing is too fine, it almost won't work, I've broken several of them, it's all good steel! Are you in a hurry when you look at it? Wen Lao Er spoke more tactfully, but Qi Zu didn't do it, he didn't say kind words, as soon as he heard that Wen Lao Er was going to rob Hong Tao with him, he immediately became anxious, stood up and grabbed Hong Tao's sleeve, as if Hong Tao could fly.

"I'm not in a hurry! Wen Bo, Uncle Qi, don't pretend to be pitiful with me, who walks out without dozens of disciples behind him? I'm almost all drained of my stomach. You guys should let me really rest, but if I come up with a good idea, I promise to go to you two first. Don't talk about work when you see me in the future, the emperor is going around with a large group of concubines, where can he talk about this all day long. I don't have that many concubines, but I have to do something I like, don't I? Alright, serve the wine! Music ......"

No official is light, now Hong Tao understands this sentence thoroughly, and he no longer has to pretend to be full of a lot of things about the state, finance, military, and science and technology, he can eat, drink, and play when he wants. Bozhu and Senya are ready, but Hong Tao still has a repertoire to offer, the Persian Dance Troupe! Belly dance!

"Yes, old men, I can't see this, let's go to my place to drink, I really can't enjoy your royal stuff...... It's better not to wear it! Unfortunately, as soon as the Persian dancers, dressed in fancy clothes, ran into the house to the sound of drums and bells, the old man began to close his eyes. He is most unaccustomed to his son-in-law's taste, Bai Huahua's arms and thighs are exposed, there is nothing on half of his chest, and he specially shows men to support their stomachs, which is too immoral. If you can't manage it, you can only hide.

"Hey...... Don't take all the food away! Uncle Qi, don't you stay and watch for a while? This is something I brought back from the Great Food Country, and the kings over there all look at it. A group of old men left, went to the next Bofu house to drink and chat, people left, and the food and wine on the table were gone.

"This one...... If Your Majesty promises to go to my place tomorrow, I'll watch it for a while! Qi Zu gritted his teeth, half-opened one eye, and glanced at the Persian dancers who were still shaking their hips, intending to fool Hong Tao to his laboratory even if he was desperate for his life.

"Then you'd better hurry up...... Ah Zhu, hurry up, send Uncle Qi, and fry another dish for me, let the children come back, and our family will drink it ourselves! Listening to Qi Zu's words, Hong Tao immediately turned his face and directly began to bombard. If you don't do this, you won't be able to live, they will stick to you like a plaster, the real new force Wen Xiaoqi and Wen Si haven't come yet, plus Li Yaofu and others in the chemical laboratory, I have to be busier than not resigning, what are you doing.
