Chapter 514 The increasingly difficult situation in Guangdong

Returning to Guangdong, where he had been away for five years, and the starting point of his official career, Chen Jinghe's excitement was beyond words. Although he was still shocked by Chen Yunfu's decision to retire from politics, all this disappeared when he entered Guangzhou.

My old friend, Jiang Zhengxun, the prefect of Guangzhou, gave Chen Jinghe the wind.

"Haha, Mingsong, welcome back to Guangzhou."

Jiang Zhengxun laughed and stepped forward to greet him, and then whispered in Chen Jinghe's ear.

"No, I should call you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you are rude, please forgive me."

Chen Jinghe didn't say much, but after a few pleasantries, he invited Jiang Zhengxun into his car and talked privately before letting go.

"You, already knew that I was the prince?"

"Everyone in the officialdom in Guangdong knows about it, including Wu Shigao."

Chen Jinghe's complexion froze immediately, and he said in amazement, "How, how is it possible?"

"If you are not the crown prince, can Wu Shigao keep you in Guangdong forever?"

The reason is that this is a good reason, but Chen Jinghe still didn't believe it and said: "Since Wu Shigao already knows my identity, why?"

Jiang Zhengxun took the words: "Your Highness wants to say, why do you dare not give you face, right?"

"Actually, I think this question is easy to understand."

Jiang Zhengxun looked at the latter with a smile, and the latter also quickly laughed.

It was just a moment of astonishment just now, but after thinking a little bit now, Chen Jinghe immediately turned around.

How to put it, I have also worked in a company for five full years, so I still have some basic political wisdom.

"You came to Guangdong to serve incognito, so this must be arranged by the king. Who in Guangdong would dare to expose it. Is Wu Shigao giving you face or the king's face?"

Jiang Zhengxun said: "Politics requires balance, especially our king, who pays more attention to this balance. Therefore, Wu Shigao firmly believes that even if he doesn't give you face, before the overall situation of the country is balanced, the court or the king will only turn to you. He, not you."

Chen Jinghe nodded approvingly.

"I didn't think it before, but after five years of working in the company, I have a personal experience. Father, the king, really places great emphasis on rules and the so-called balance."

If you think about Chen Yunfu's political life over the past few decades, there is a balance of knowledge everywhere.

When did Chen Yunfu do such a thing as flipping a table?
Not once.

I didn't say it when I was a courtier, because at that time Chen Yunfu didn't have the ability to lift the table.

After taking power, there will be no more.

In the face of Zhu Ming's clan relatives and senior military generals, they were all appeased with one-handed distribution and preferential treatment. The establishment of the Military and Political Yuan not only gave the military senior generals an excuse to exercise power, but also gave former court officials a platform to grab political dividends.

Everyone settled down very well. In other words, Chen Yunfu distributed the cakes while making them.

When the old Confucian Party and the new school of education were arguing, Chen Yunfu also gave the Confucian family a chance to join the Ministry of Education, and gave Confucianism enough face and heart, so that the country's ideological field was not shrouded in bloody killings, and the transition was very smooth .

After solving political and ideological contradictions, the national economic development led by Chen Yunfu also took a balanced approach.

While state-owned firms prospered, private capital also flourished.

While domestic capital is developed, foreign capital is equally strong.

The country is getting richer and the cake is getting bigger and sweeter. All the vested interest groups in the whole country are firmly tied to their chariot by Chen Yunfu.

A stable and increasingly prosperous national situation is the prerequisite and basic condition.

With both conditions met, Chen Yunfu realized all his ambitions and ambitions.

Great Kyushu Plan, National Horse-drawn Carriage Rail Access Plan.

The title of one emperor through the ages is no longer enough to commend Chen Yunfu's current achievements.

"It's a pity that my father also made a big mistake."

Chen Jinghe sighed in his heart, naturally he didn't dare to say this to Jiang Zhengxun.

"By the way, tell me, how did you bring down Wu Shigao?"

Not wanting to talk too much about Chen Yunfu, Chen Jinghe wisely changed the subject and asked with a smile how Jiang Zhengxun brought down Wu Shigao.

"Isn't he deeply rooted in Guangdong? Even my impeachment can't do anything about him."

Jiang Zhengxun raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "He took a lot of bribes."

"Accepting bribes?" Chen Jinghe smiled noncommittally: "I believe you said that he accepted bribes, but if you say that he can bring him down just by accepting bribes, then Brother Zhengxun would treat me too much like a child. The chief envoy of Guangdong, just accepting bribes, is not enough for the central government to make such a big determination."

"Your Highness is becoming more and more mature now."

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Jiang Zhengxun broke the matter with a laugh: "Wu Shigao's downfall this time is entirely his own fault. In the past two years, under Wu Shigao's operation, many state-owned firms in Guangdong have been invested by private capital. The equity ratio is getting heavier.

Now the folks say that in the process of this country's smuggling, there is a lot of property loss. You also know that Wu Shigao himself is from Cantonese, and the family behind him is also a wealthy family in our Guangdong border, although many clues have been wiped out by Wu Shigao. Clean, but as long as you check the general manager, you can still find out. "

"So after Brother Zhengxun found out the evidence, he entered Nanjing with a piece of impeachment."

Chen Jinghe sighed: "Brother Zhengxun is the best after all. If you don't make a move, you can use it. Once you make a move, you will catch Wu Shigao's fatal point. Unlike me, I can't do anything about Wu Shigao except for yelling." Substantial evidence of a crime."

After sighing, Chen Jinghe looked at Jiang Zhengxun again, and said in an apologetic tone: "This time Wu Shigao subdued the law, if it wasn't for me, with brother Zhengxun's ability, he would definitely be able to be the chief envoy of Guangdong."

The latter shook his head and waved his hands: "Your Highness is serious. In fact, I have already accepted His Highness's kindness. If it wasn't for Your Highness, I would not be able to be the prefect of Guangzhou."

Chen Jinghe was startled when he heard the words, then he understood and laughed.

"Yeah yeah."

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the current situation in Guangdong. You said just now that many state-owned firms in Guangdong have been bought by private capital, and state-owned assets have been seriously drained."

"Yes." Jiang Zhengxun said with a serious face: "With incomplete statistics from the Financial Secretary and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, in the past five years, Guangdong has lost at least 300 billion in state-owned property due to the transfer from one country to another."

300 million.

That is 3000 taels of silver.

Chen Jinghe subconsciously clenched his fists, and whispered that Wu Shigao should be killed.

"This is not the most serious thing." Jiang Zhengxun glanced carefully at Chen Jinghe's face, and said hesitantly, "The really serious thing is the proportion of private capital in the entire Guangdong today, because the imperial court's firm has also been invested. Therefore, the court's right to speak in controlling market pricing has been affected.

The increase in prices shows signs of taking the lead again. In addition, in the past five years, the companies under Pu Xiangdong's command in Fujian and Guangdong provinces have developed the most rapidly, attracting more Arab businessmen. Today's economic situation in Guangdong can roughly be said to be four countries. "

"State-owned, Arab capital, local capital."

"That's only three."

"And there is."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Zhengxun said, "The bankers headed by the Medici Bank."

Hearing this name, Chen Jinghe lowered his eyes slightly.

From this point of view, the situation in Guangdong seems to be more complicated than it was five years ago?
