Gao Huan helped Huang Zongxi up, "Your dear, do your best, don't let me down!"

"I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" Huang Zongxi looked sincere.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Gao Huan walked back to the throne and sat down. After Huang Zongxi sat down, he smiled and said, "I want to know how I will solve the problem of Jianghuai Mining?"

Huang Zongxi said modestly: "Report to Your Majesty, I first read the information and account books of JAC Mining, and then visited on the spot. I found that JAC Mining's business methods were extensive and did not consider costs, which was one of the main reasons for the losses. In order to pay off the debt, I will sell some unprofitable mines and smelters under the name of the mining industry to publicly sell them and pay off the debt!"

"Well, it's OK to sell this publicly!" Gao Huan nodded slightly, but then asked: "Where are the mining workers?"

Water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. Officials are just managers. When the boss falls, they can still become officials if they change their bosses, but Gao Huan is different.

He is the emperor and has no way out. He must safeguard the country and protect his people.

Therefore, what Gao Huan is most worried about the restructuring is the workers.

Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, when selling mines and smelting plants, I signed an agreement with the merchants, asking them to recall workers to resume work within a time limit and pay the arrears on behalf of the mining industry."

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction, but there was a hint of doubt on his face.

Huang Zongxi noticed Gao Huan's doubts, suddenly stood up, saluted Gao Huan again, "I have something to do, I want to apologize like Your Majesty!"

Gao Huan said, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Huang Zongxi said: "Although these businessmen resumed work in a unified manner, they cannot give workers the original treatment. The workers' wages and benefits will be slightly reduced!"

Gao Huan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Since it's private, as long as they have not lowered the bottom line stipulated by the court, they cannot interfere."

The official workshop is well run and continues to maintain good treatment, but if it is not well run, there is no reason to continue to maintain it.

This time Huang Zongxi made improvements, and many people would lose their jobs, especially some honorary relatives. They gained a certain position based on their identity and relationships, and then took the money from the official workshop, but did not do anything, and even used their own identities to steal benefits.

Now the improvement will undoubtedly kick them out, and this is one of Gao Huan's goals.

These people are fighting against Gao Huan, and Gao Huan is inconvenient to take action, so Huang Zongxi is the evil person.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing Gao Huan's understanding, Huang Zongxi quickly flattered.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "My dear, there are many problems with the official workshop, but it has great benefits for the court. During the reform process, I hope that Mr. Wang can reform the disadvantages of the official workshop and increase their competitiveness, and do not give up and sell them easily."

Huang Zongxi's heart was shaking, and he suspected that Gao Huan had discovered something, and quickly promised: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I must keep it in mind."

Gao Huan then smiled and said, "Come on, please sit down, I have something to ask you!"

Now that Huang Zongxi took his seat again, Gao Huan immediately asked about his details in Chizhou and his ideas for improvement. Huang Zongxi was prepared for it and answered it smoothly.

During the whole process, both sides laughed and cheered, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Huang Zongxi couldn't help but feel relieved, and at the same time he felt a little proud.

...

After gaining the recognition of the emperor, Huang Zongxi's confidence increased greatly and determined to increase his pace and lead the comprehensive improvement.

At this time, Huang Zongxi left the palace and returned to the mansion. A large group of Civic Party members and merchants were already waiting outside the mansion.

Huang Zongxi couldn't help feeling unhappy when he saw a carriage parked in front of the door.

"Send them away!" Huang Zongxi frowned, gave an order to the old servant who came up to him, and walked into the mansion.

When the old servant heard the words, he hurriedly stopped him. Seeing Huang Zongxi coming back, everyone who was about to come to ask for a meeting, "Everyone, I'm sorry, our cabinet has just returned and is a little tired. I won't see guests today!"

Everyone felt sorry for hearing this, but they did not force it. They left their prayers and gifts and left.

Huang Zongxi returned to Nanjing, rested overnight, and started working in the Councillor the next day.

At this time, in the Council of the Council, Chen Zilong was no longer a director due to his age, and no one could compare to his other political consultants in terms of ability, so Huang Zongxi gradually took over the power.

In the court now, the old ministers who followed Gao Huan at that time have passed away one after another as agreed upon in the past two years, or have reached the age of retirement, and there are not many old ministers with prestige and ability.

Sun Chuanting died of illness in Luntai during Gao Huan's expedition to Tsarist Russia. Gao Mingheng, Ding Qirui and others also retreated to the third line and only had a false title to support their elderly care in their hometown.

These ministers left the political core, and the power of the court gradually shifted to rising celebrities such as Huang Zongxi, Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Jiayu, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Xia Wanchun.

This means that there are actually not many old ministers in the court who can suppress Huang Zongxi.

For those old ministers who died and retired, they have been relatively lucky since all dynasties.

Emperor Gao Huan was in his prime, but they aged one after another.

If the emperor had grown old first and they were young and strong, then there might be a story about Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because most of the older generation of ministers retreated, Huang Zongxi quickly erected his majesty in the court and began to carry out his comprehensive improvement.

Huang Zongxi needed to carry out reforms, and needed to get the support of the bourgeoisie in Jiangnan behind him. In order to realize his ambitions, he convened many Civic Party and big businessmen to meet at the Suzhou Civic Party headquarters.

Huang Zongxi was preparing to make comprehensive improvements. In this process, the bourgeoisie who supported him must obtain certain benefits. However, as the leader of the imperial court's political discussion and the leader of the Civic Party, he must also learn from the lessons of the Donglin Party and maintain the strength and stability of the country.

If they make a mess like before, do it too much and destroy the court, it will be of no benefit to them.

Therefore, Huang Zongxi needed to make some preparations before comprehensively improving it.

The first is to gather the big businessmen behind the Civic Party so that their appearance should not be too ugly. Anything is too much or too little, and we must grasp the standards.

Second, there must be something gray during the improvement process, and he needs to control the Inspectorate to avoid being attacked.

In Suzhou City, within a Civic Party's property, Huang Zongxi summoned many big businessmen to play in the garden.

"Gei! You have a deadline for returning to Nanjing. I don't know when the reform will be put on the agenda!"

"Yes! Your JAC Mining case is so successful that the rectification of other official workshops can also be put on the agenda."

The two businessmen were from the left and the other on the right, and couldn't wait to ask.

Huang Zongxi stopped, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, it seems you can't wait. This time, this cabinet is here to make a request for you. The reform of this cabinet will be on the agenda. The government will auction multiple poorly managed official workshops, and at the same time lift the ban on multiple industries and allow private merchants to enter~~~"

When many big businessmen heard this, they immediately became excited. They knew that in the reform of Jianghuai Mining, the Qian family in Changshu alone had earned more than 100,000 yuan. Before Qian Qianyi could finish his words, they became excited. "Gei Master is wise! This is really a great good policy for Gaei Master."

Huang Zongxi frowned slightly and continued: "This cabinet hopes that you will do better than the official workshop after you acquire the official workshop and enter various development industries. Only then will our cabinet's reform be considered successful! Do you understand?"

Many businessmen were distracted and agreed casually, "I understand! I understand!"
