"Uncle, Wei Kun is going to work in the Shanxi Chemical Industry Department, and Wei Zhen is going to work in the Shanghai Metallurgy Department. I'll inform you of the latest decision. " Wei Changrong was sitting on the sofa in Vézé's house with a relaxed body, leisurely talking about the news that was not easy for others. Wei Changrong's hair was already half white, and he was three or four years older than Vézé. Wei Changrong, who was nearly 60 years old, really looked old.
"I see, I have no objection." Vézé replied. He did not expect that his sons would be independent when he was 55 years old. The youngest son, Wei Li, was in college and basically lived on campus. Looking at his enthusiasm for a doctorate, it would take several years. The eldest daughter, Wei Xiu, seemed to be hesitant about whether to leave home and live independently. The second daughter, Wei Xue, seemed to be in a hurry to move out. Vézé had seen the duplex she chose. Five floors and six floors were sent to the top floor. Nearly 500 square meters of area, it would take her a lot of time to clean.
If others reported to Vézé, they would be very nervous, but Wei Changrong was the opposite. He was always very relaxed in front of Vézé. He took a cigarette from Vézé's cigarette box, lit it, and lay comfortably on Vézé's fabric sofa. "Fourth Uncle, I'll be retiring in a few years. I'll give you the list of successors now. You should look at their work in the next few years. In addition, you are really generous, Wei Rui will have a lot of battles to fight in North America. But my brother is very capable, he may be a general next year. He is not worse than me. "
Vézé couldn't help but smile bitterly at the mention of this. Wei Changrong could get a huge pension of 3.6 million when he retired, only lower than Vézé. According to seniority, he was the one who had followed Vézé the longest. Vézé's pension was 5.2 million. Vézé did not have any other expenses. The title of Emperor was just a title, and there was no special allowance. Three salaries wasn't considered high. However, the fees for Vézé's lectures were not low, and all the departments were willing to pay for it. Without these, Vézé would not be able to fork out 3 million to buy a house for his child. Vézé's standard was to pay half a million for each child to buy a house.
As for Wei Rui's safety, Vézé couldn't care less. Many generals had died in World War I and World War II during the industrial era. The reason why the surviving generals were so famous and powerful was because not only did they send tens of thousands of troops into the Inferno Hell, they themselves also had to traverse through the Inferno Hell. Only in this way could he establish an unshakable achievement. Wasn't Vézé the same? In the dozens of battles back then, a stray bullet could take down Vézé. In Tianjing City, not to mention the fact that North Prince Wei Changhui had sent people to attack the Prince Of Qi's residence, if there were really people in the army with ulterior motives, Vézé would not have been so difficult to kill. Life and death could only be left to fate.
"Has the replacement list been confirmed in Shanxi?" Vézé asked another question.
"It has been confirmed. This time, Shanxi is going to change greatly. Sima Ji used his worthless life to ruin so many futures. I really didn't expect that. "At this point, Wei Changrong sat up. Even if the Military Governor Of Vaize did not implicate him, the earthquake in Shanxi's officialdom would still cause the buildings to collapse. Naturally, Sima Ping did not need to be mentioned. He no longer had any administrative duties and had quietly retired. Sima Ji, the second of Sima Ping's four sons, was sentenced to death for intentional murder and executed immediately. The other three sons were also suspended from their duties for investigation. Even if they could survive this period of dismal suspension, their futures were basically ruined. The rest of the provincial committee members were all suspended from their duties for investigation. Wei Xiushan was transferred to Nanyue Province to be the deputy governor.
"Even with such a big upheaval, there are still people in the central government who feel that they have been let off lightly. I don't know what they are thinking! "Wei Changrong was obviously very unhappy about this. Of course, this could only be said in front of Vézé. In front of others, Wei Changrong could not say that the central government had no reason to be afraid of a few crazy idiots. That could easily be misinterpreted as disregard for Vézé's life. Even Wei Changrong could not bear such suspicion.
"I hope that Wei Kun will know his place when he arrives at the Shanxi Chemical Industry Department." Vézé also did not want to talk about that stupid matter. The power of fear lies in the endless imagination. The more you think about it, the more afraid you become. So it is better to just face the reality and not let your thoughts run wild. But the arrangement of his son's position reminded Vézé of another matter. "When Wei Kun arrives in Shanxi, will people think that I sent people to supervise the purge in Shanxi?"
Wei Changrong said with a smile: "Fourth Uncle, if Wei Kun arrives in Shanxi and seven out of seven people refuse to accept the purge, the Shanxi officialdom will naturally be in a panic. If Wei Kun can work hard and unite his comrades after arriving in Shanxi. This panic will naturally disappear. Many times, good things are not to be feared, but good people. "
"Wei Kun has not seen this kind of situation. I don't know if he will be fooled after arriving. After all, the local government is not the army. The conditions in the army are harsh. If you can't come up with something, you have to get out. People in the local government want to sit in a stable position. It is not easy to calculate all kinds of things. "Vézé felt uneasy at the mention of his son.
"Right now, the people in Shanxi are in a panic. If Wei Kun doesn't go, I'm afraid those people will not be able to handle it. Moreover, I think Wei Kun is not as weak as Fourth Uncle thinks. In terms of ambition, Wei Kun is not necessarily inferior to Wei Rui. I think Fourth Uncle is sometimes biased towards Wei Rui. "Wei Changrong said what only he could say.
"Biased?" Vézé couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I heard an old saying that fathers are usually biased towards their eldest sons. Since it is an old saying, it must be based on a lot of things. Even if I am biased, I don't know where I am biased. This matter is settled. "
After these two important matters involving Vézé, Wei Changrong's smile disappeared. "The situation in Hubei is not too good. Fourth Uncle, do you know? "
"Oh? I took a look at the report. Is the market in Hubei unable to withstand the fines? "Vézé relaxed.
"Fourth Uncle, have you been paying attention to Hubei?" Wei Changrong was a little surprised.
"What is there to be concerned about? It is inevitable. You can see the problem from a few points. It is not that easy to ban similar products from other provinces from entering Hubei. The state-owned shopping malls will not sell, but the private vendors will sell. If sealing the inventory is useful, there will be no smugglers in the world. Smuggling between countries is so smooth. Is it difficult to smuggle high-quality products into Hubei? As for the fines, it is even more difficult. At worst, it is just a BA market. China is so big, you can go anywhere. Will the sky fall without Wuhan? "Vézé said calmly.
"Fourth Uncle, why don't you pay attention to Hubei?" Wei Changrong had more information. The content of Vézé's description was basically the current situation in Hubei. Hubei looked fine on the surface, but in fact, the situation was continuing to deteriorate.
"I am afraid that I can't help but say something after seeing what Zhou Zhengxiong has done. In that case, it is better not to see it." Vézé said as he lit a cigarette.
His answer seemed helpless, but Wei Changrong felt a kind of ruthless perseverance from it. He said, "Fourth Uncle, according to the latest statistics, there are about 50,000 people in many cities in Hubei who have applied to go to North America. They have all been approved. There are about 200,000 people in Hubei who have applied to go to North America. It is the highest among the provinces this year. "
"North America should be very happy, right?" Vézé avoided the topic of Wei Changrong.
"Then why do you allow Zhou Zhengxiong to do this?" Wei Changrong had to ask more directly.
"Now, it is not only Hubei that is having problems with local enterprises. Many provinces have problems. These local enterprises are the treasures of the provinces. If we touch them when they seem to be able to maintain the situation, the provinces will definitely make a scene. Now that we are not short of food, we can't starve to death, so let them use their brains to show their strength. We all know my old brother's personality. Death is nothing to be afraid of, but we can't lower our heads. What do you want me to say at this time? And the capital is moving soon, it is not appropriate for me to do anything. "Vézé said to Wei Changrong sincerely.
"Even you can't save them?" Wei Changrong was a little surprised.
"I really can't save them. This is not a war. Even if they can't understand my battle arrangements, they have to carry it out even if they can't understand it. In the end, if we win, everyone will judge the merits as they should. Don't laugh at others just because your opinion is right. This matter is over. Economic matters are not like that. If they don't really understand that their way of doing things is not working, they will not admit it. Besides, even if the economy is not good now, everyone really will not starve to death. I also don't want to force a cow to drink water without drinking water. "Vézé explained the reasons for letting things run their own course.
Wei Changrong did not seem to object to this approach. He just sighed and said, "I really didn't expect so many people to run to North America. There were not so many people fleeing in the past. "
"Haha! No one fled in the past, everyone followed us to rebel. "Vézé thought Wei Changrong's evaluation was really interesting.
Wei Changrong shook his head repeatedly. "Fourth Uncle, I didn't mean that. I just feel that people are really no longer bound to the land. The relationship between people has really become that no one can live without anyone. It's only been 20 years, and the words that we brothers dared to say when we were bragging have become true. The development of productivity can actually make ordinary people so powerful. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. "
Vézé did not care about Wei Changrong being called brother at all. He had always felt that Wei Changrong was just a "brother" in terms of seniority. However, Wei Changrong's praise deeply touched Vézé, which reminded him of the saying that the peacock flew southeast and fled from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The direct manifestation of social progress was that ordinary people had more and more power to pursue a happy life in their own eyes. In the past, people could only bury their heads in the soil and dig for food. Naturally, the level of their dreams was low. For anyone, having a dream was just a luxury that they could only hope for. Now people finally had the ability to try to pursue a good life based on their dreams. Whether the result would be happiness was hard to say, and society could not guarantee it. In this Min dynasty full of opportunities, the majority of people should be able to get better benefits.
