Wang Mingshan took a thick paper bag and placed it on the table. The comrades at the meeting immediately felt that something was wrong. They were all people in high positions, and everyone knew that the higher the level, the more it was not a showdown of resources. There had to be a deep conflict to get rid of a person like Ziyang, but there had to be a very simple reason to defeat Ziyang. It was just like defeating Yao Bang was just an interview article.
Opening the paper bag, Wang Mingshan took out a stack of documents and distributed them to the people at the meeting. Seeing that there were only a dozen or so pages in the document, everyone finally felt a little more confident. Wang Mingshan did not sit down. He said directly, "The theory put forward by Comrade Ziyang is correct. The basis of the capitalist system's currency is either mortgage taxes, the gold standard, or the issuance of bonds. Currency, in the end, is the government's debt. Our Min dynasty uses productivity as the basis of currency, and every year we have a calculation based on experience. Although it's not very digital, there are no problems. After so many years, everyone feels that this vague approach is wrong, but Comrade Ziyang is the first person to openly talk about this problem. "
The people at the meeting had been through a lot. They usually looked decisive, but that was only because they had a lot of work and no time. As long as there was a chance, they were actually people who were willing to listen. So even though everyone realized that what Wang Mingshan was talking about was not how to deal with Ziyang, they still did not say a word and just listened.
Wang Mingshan continued to explain, "Using the method of issuing currency to solve the problem of the shipbuilding costs is not wrong in theory. This batch of warships is the most technologically advanced weapon in the Min dynasty. Investing money on this is also used to develop productivity. This money is used to pay wages and goes into the hands of the working people. It can't even cause inflation. "
"In other words, if we argue with Ziyang in theory, there is no possibility of us beating him," Shen Xin concluded.
Wang Mingshan nodded and replied bluntly, "That's right."
The comrades at the meeting all looked disappointed, but not too disappointed. Before Wang Mingshan came back, everyone had asked other people who were in the economic field to evaluate this system. The final result was, "The president and chief secretary has a natural advantage in this topic as long as his theory is correct. Because no one can come up with a perfect economic theory. "
"You can't do anything to Ziyang?" Shen Xin said unwillingly.
Wang Mingshan answered, "Ziyang's theory isn't unreasonable, but it's like half a wheel."
When everyone heard that Wang Mingshan was quite supportive of Yao Bang's theory, they thought that Wang Mingshan had probably exhausted his ability. Unexpectedly, with just one sentence, Wang Mingshan made a statement that seemed to be unfavorable to Yao Bang. Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Mingshan again. Wang Mingshan said, "I can't even turn half a wheel. The problem raised by Yao Bang was a practical problem encountered by the socialist system. Money was a general equivalent. What was the basis of this equivalent and the concept of its existence? There is a lack of research in this area in the country. Most of it is simply copying Marx's Theory of Capital or using the Commander in Chief's previous words without distinguishing the applicability. I don't think you should be worried about Ziyang speaking, but that he won't speak. "
The old fellows present were all smart people. When Wang Mingshan said this, everyone understood a lot. However, Wang Mingshan did not say anything halfway. Instead, he said bluntly, "Yao Bang made this problem clear this time. Will he not have a system to say anything in the future? If he really quits halfway, what difference does everyone think he is from Yao Bang? "
"Are we going to watch Ziyang be re-elected for another term?" Shen Xin, who was the leader of this group of comrades, asked bluntly.
"Now that he's thrown out this topic and even used the half-circle theory to solve the problem, everyone probably won't be able to do anything to him in the next few months." Wang Mingshan was also very straightforward. "Oh right, this is a simple introduction to the nature of money and the currency issuance model. Everyone can go back and take a look. This is very important content, so I hope my comrades won't ignore it. "
The meeting could not continue at this point for the time being. During a break, Wang Mingshan said to Shen Xin in private, "Shen Xin, I've said everything that needs to be said. I'll leave first."
Shen Xin did not force Wang Mingshan to stay. At this point, it was really not suitable for Wang Mingshan, who was outside the circle, to participate in the subsequent discussions. If Wang Mingshan did not realize this himself, Shen Xin would have to talk to Wang Mingshan about this problem first. Not long after Wang Mingshan left, the meeting continued. A comrade who attended the meeting did not wait for Shen Xin to speak and rushed to say, "Shen Xin, are you really going to get Ziyang down?"
Just by listening to his tone, Shen Xin knew that this comrade did not want to use force. Shen Xin replied in a serious tone, "I think that the central government's strong control is the foundation of society. I know that we can't spoil things through excessive enthusiasm, but if the comrades who come to work in the government do not even have this basic quality, what use are they?"
"Hey! Hey! You're right, but it's too difficult to implement, "the comrade who attended the meeting hurriedly said.
Shen Xin nodded. His voice was calm and did not sound impulsive at all. "I understand. That's why I want to hurry up. If we haven't implemented this kind of thing before, how do we know what problems we'll encounter when we implement it? "
"This … this is not unity." Another comrade expressed his opinion.
Wang Mingshan had already returned to the hotel. He did not know what was going on in the meeting and had no interest in participating in such a debate. On the way back, he had been painstakingly studying the things that Ziyang had proposed. After returning to Beijing, he had to look up the information. Wang Mingshan also felt very tired. More importantly, Wang Mingshan had already acknowledged the reality of his withdrawal from the political stage. A retired old man did not need to think so much.
Back at his residence, Wang Mingshan bought the latest newspaper from the service counter at the door. After flipping through a few pages, he saw the overseas news. With a glance, Wang Mingshan was shocked by "Italy says' Motherf * cker, Empire says righteousness!" The title amused him.
Looking at the content, it turned out that the Suez Canal of the United Kingdom was dredged, and Italian and French warships could not pass through. The New Suez Canal of the Min dynasty could pass through warships, but it did not allow two warships to pass through the New Suez Canal. So France and Italy shouted, 'Motherf * cker! Empire says righteousness! '
Originally, Wang Mingshan was worried that the Italians would be desperate and fight to the death in Ethiopia. Now, Wang Mingshan was sure that the Italians were not strong enough to even fight to the death. This situation allowed Wang Mingshan to let out a long sigh of relief. He had investments in Italy. If the Italians rashly started a war and then shamefully failed, those investments would suffer a great loss. Thinking of this, Wang Mingshan suddenly thought of a problem. After the end of the Iron and Blood phase, the Military Governor Of Vaize immediately changed his mind and started a 'peace' policy. At least until now, peace was beneficial to Wang Mingshan's interests.
Wang Mingshan looked at the calendar. It was already July 4th, less than a month before the primary school holidays. After drafting a telegram on paper, Wang Mingshan asked Grace to bring the two children to Beijing during the holidays. Yuanmingyuan was known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens and was once famous in Europe. With the rise of Nanjing, the reputation of Yuanmingyuan was gradually replaced by Nanjing Metropolis. The current Yuanmingyuan was modernized and had a more contemporary feel. Wang Mingshan said that if a lady like Grace could not see this garden with her own eyes, it would be a lifelong regret.
Marquess Grace was unhappy when she received the telegram. Her patriotism had recently decreased, so she was very dissatisfied with Wang Mingshan's choice to run back to China. However, the Marquess was a member of the bourgeoisie. Even if her mood fluctuated, she found herself in a state of dissatisfaction recently. She was dissatisfied with the uselessness of her motherland, dissatisfied with Wang Mingshan running away, very dissatisfied with the children's disobedience, and dissatisfied with the ideas the children learned in public schools. In short, there was nothing that could make her feel happy. Marchioness Glace was in an extremely bad state right now, and this had nothing to do with the external world. Her rationality had no control over her emotions and was forcefully sending out messages amidst waves of emotions. In the end, Grace decided to travel to Beijing, the capital of the Min dynasty, to see if she could change her mentality back to a healthy and upward trend.
The days of a mother and bank staff always passed quickly, and her eldest son soon finished his final exam. Grace sincerely hoped that her son's grades would not be too bad. If the average score was below 95, she might not be able to resist implementing a stick education. If her eldest son really couldn't learn, then it would be fine. The problem was that this little bastard was actually very smart. The only problem was that he didn't have the wisdom to match this intelligence. To put it bluntly, Grace saw that her son was full of 'arrogance' and had no psychological preparation for the difficult future.
The day of the results had arrived. Grace sat upright at home, pondering over whether she should use a cane or a cane if she were to make a move. The door opened, and it was not Grace's son who came in, but a bank staff member. The staff looked excited and worried. After seeing Grace, he immediately said, "The Russia stock market collapsed!"
Grace was stunned. Her bank didn't do business in Russia, and the Bank of Europe didn't have any special business in Russia. The collapse of the Russia stock market didn't affect Grace at all. It was just that in the past decade, all aspects of propaganda were advocating that Russia was the best investment target for Europe and that the development of Russia represented the future of Europe. Europe's economic crisis didn't seem to affect Russia at all. This huge country on the ice sheet was moving forward at its own pace, rapidly industrializing.
The bank staff continued to say excitedly, "The stock markets of France, Belgium, and Germany also collapsed. Now there are rumors that the Bank of Russia and the Bank of France have collapsed. In a few days, it will be confirmed. "
Grace stood up, ready to immediately go to the bank to discuss the matter. When she saw the door, she suddenly remembered that today's main task was to wait for her son's report card. Just as she was hesitating, the door opened, and her son stuck his head out and peeked inside.
"Come in." Grace put on the serious face of a mother.
Seeing that he was discovered by his mother, the son could only come in dejectedly.
"Report card!" Grace said sternly.
