Li Ye naturally knew that due to historical reasons, the Dé country rarely produced battleships during this period of time. Therefore, the Vulcan Shipyard had sold the Sachsen ship with the acquiescence of the Dé country. In order to compete for business, they even sold the naked ship for 1.4 million taels. It was not too much to say that this kind of battleship was sold for 2 million taels, because if they did not start production, they would go bankrupt.
Even so, they were annexed by the Hamburger Shipyard a few years later. If it was done properly, they could poach the entire shipyard and even some engineers. Of course, the governments of both sides would have to come forward.
As for Li Fengbao and Li Ye, they recognized his ability. It was just that this person liked corruption. The salary of Qing officials was indeed too low, but this was definitely not the main reason.
The Qing officials protected each other, and everyone worked together. Li Ye had already begun to place people in the Supreme Court and handed some anti-corruption methods to them. The one who did the work was An Dehai. Eunuchs should not interfere in politics, but it did not mean that they could only have the power of investigation and not the power of law enforcement.
In the future, he would set up a special secret service agency to do such things, and even give the secret service agency a certain amount of law enforcement power.
Money was a problem. Li Ye thought hard. There were too many places where the country needed money. The development of industry and commerce was not so effective. The main reason was that he had made too big a move, and there were too many places that needed to be built in this country.
"System! Can I exchange for evidence of corruption?”Li Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was important to develop the economy, but the accumulation of primitive capital was never as fast as snatching.
He couldn't snatch it from overseas for the time being, so he could only snatch it from within the country!
A few of Cixi's core henchmen already had more than 70 million taels of silver, not to mention the other corrupt officials who were even larger.
"The range is too big! Not enough points!" the system replied.
"Above the seventh rank!" Li Ye was delighted. It seemed like there was a chance.
"The range is too big! Not enough points!"
"Fifth Grade and above! Above Baylor!"
"Not enough points!"
"Embezzled more than 1 million taels!" Li Ye gritted his teeth. For the time being, he could only let those small fries go.
"After deducting 10000 points, the remaining points are 1200 points. The host needs to work hard to earn points.”
Li Ye's face darkened. The points he had earned from establishing his prestige among the officials were gone just like that.
However, Li Ye could be considered to have grasped the weakness of a large group of people. At the critical moment, he could extract their bones and absorb their marrow.
After Li Hongzhang left, Li Ye summoned Sheng Xuanhuai and Qiao Jingyan. He planned to open a bank.
More than ten years later, Sheng Xuanhuai submitted a petition to open the first bank in the country, the Tongshang Bank. Now, he was working in the Prime Minister's Office, while Qiao Jingyan was the young master of Qiao Zhiyong's son, Richangsheng Bank, the famous Jin merchant Kuichu.
He was prepared to let one of them set up a central bank and the other a commercial bank. At the same time, the Qiao family's exchange firm, which had already begun to decline, would undergo a reform.
"I plan to set up a bank in the country to issue currency, borrow money, and deposit and withdraw money. I hereby order the two of you to bring people to the M Nation for an inspection.”Li Ye said to the two of them.
If one were to talk about where the financial industry was the most developed, it would naturally be London. Although the M Nation was not very strong now, the banking industry had slowly caught up and was full of vitality. After more than ten years, the total economic output would directly surpass the Ying Nation.
There was no need for him to lower himself for these low-level missions. Even if they were talents, meeting them was already a great gift to them.
"I, this commoner, have received the decree. "The two of them are really excited. One of them is a Rank-6, and the other is just a merchant. How many times do they have the chance to see the emperor?
Now that the Emperor had entrusted such an important matter to them, they would definitely do their best.
"Go. After returning to the country, Zhen will personally tell you what to do in the country. You are only going out this time to broaden your horizons.”
Li Ye waved his hand and sent the two of them away.
It was impossible for him to set up a bank with a theoretical foundation. If that was the case, it would take too much time to fumble around. It was better to go abroad and study for a period of time. When the time came, it would be much easier to understand his things.
For example, if he exchanged for the blueprint of the Tiger Tank now, it could not be manufactured in the country at all. In fact, even the Ying country and the Dé country could not manufacture it.
The entire industrial development had yet to reach that level. This was not just a little, but in various fields. The engine, the strength of steel, armor, materials, forging, precision component processing technology, bearings, and hundreds of other fields were all unable to meet the requirements...
Of course, just because it couldn't be built now didn't mean that it couldn't be built in advance in a few years, ten years, or twenty years. That would mean that the entire industrial system would have to be upgraded.
"Kou Lian, let the gentlemen in!”Li Ye was in a hurry to send the two away because he still had to meet a few people who had a great influence on him.
Xu Shou, Xu Jianyin, and Xu Huafeng were the father and son of the three chemistry pioneers. They were the mathematician, Li Jufang, the creator of the first hydrogen balloon, the mathematical physicist, Li Shanlan, who created Li Shanlan's equation, and the microbiologist, Chen Sicheng, a medical scientist.
" Your Majesty, you've been examining Zhou Ze for eight hours, and you've seen three groups of people. You must take care of yourself. Don't overwork yourself.”Kou Lian said worriedly when he saw that Li Ye had been working for so long.
During this period of time, Li Ye had been racing against time to give this country a good start. He went to the morning court, reviewed the memorials, learned from his brother's ministers and generals, and even wrote some plans himself. Ordinary adults would not be able to handle it, let alone his child's body.
Sometimes, she would fall asleep unconsciously.
"There's no need. Zhen will take care! Let them in!" Li Ye waved his hand. This country was plagued with internal and external problems. The accumulated ills were piled up like mountains. How could he stop?
Now, he could only be Zhuge Liang and work himself to death because he stood much higher than others. There were many things that he had to do personally in order to speed up the pace of development and avoid detours.
When the entire country was not on the right track, they would be able to have some free time.
These people were the founders of the Gezhi Academy. They were not only proficient in their own research direction, but also in many fields. They were even talented in the field of microorganisms.
In particular, Xu Shousan and his son's contribution to the military industry was simply unsurpassable in the past 30 years. Almost all the new explosives came from their hands.
Li Ye had asked them to come over this time in the hope of building a completely different university.
