After hearing the words of the high words, Chen Zilong smiled and said, "I can't hide my thoughts from Your Majesty."

Gao Huan said: "But for the change of leadership?"

"Your Majesty, Master Du Ge has done a good job, but if I come to take charge of the government, I think I can do better." Chen Zilong did not hide his ambitions.

Gao Huan nodded slightly: "Tell me what you think!"

"Your Majesty, I am here not for personal gain, but for the country and the development of China." Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "I believe that the reform of Ge Lao Li back then was beneficial to the government at that time. He allowed the court to quickly master a large amount of resources to help His Majesty unify the world. In recent years, Ge Lao has basically been Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and China has also developed to a certain extent. However, now the society and economy are developing rapidly, and many policies formulated more than ten years ago are no longer suitable." Chen Zilong said, looking at Gao Huan.

"For example?" Gao Huan looked very calm.

"For example, many state-owned companies!" Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "In the early days, they did bring huge benefits to the court, but now many state-owned companies have become burdens for the court. Many of them, like yamen, have basically no different habits from yamen. The company's internal organization is bloated, and has a lot of nepotism. They are overly involved, have no business awareness, are not adapted to the market, and have a lot of resources, but they still cause the company to lose money."

"Also, these state-owned companies generally lack the sense of survival, and no one needs to be truly responsible for the future of the company. The company's senior management only looks at the present situation, is content with the status quo, and is unwilling to innovate. Some senior management even only cares about how much they can make, and distributes the court's property to themselves and their subordinates to form a group case. In contrast, the owners of private companies regard the company as their own finances and will manage it with care. In an industry, as long as private companies enter, state-owned companies cannot beat them!"

"In this case, Master Du Ge still insists on the original policies and refuses to loosen the private sector. I think it will definitely affect the development of the world." Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "These problems have not been fully revealed before. If Master Du Ge is in power for another four years, I think the finances of the court will inevitably deteriorate. Therefore, I risk my life to advise you today, even if you are dismissed by Your Majesty, I will still express my grievances to Your Majesty."

Chen Zilong's generous speech seemed very excited. Gao Huan listened to his words, picked up the teacup and trembled slightly. Then he took a sip as if he was calm, and then slowly put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice: "I know some of the problems of state-owned companies. What would you do if you were the leader of the government?"

Chen Zilong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he didn't even notice that the emperor no longer called his beloved minister.

"If I were to take charge of the government, I would carry out economic reforms, liberalize all walks of life, and allow private companies to compete with state-owned companies. The court no longer formulates policies to protect the operation of state-owned companies. Those state-owned companies that are not well-managed and cannot compete with private companies will be liquidated and sold to reduce the burden on the court." Chen Zilong said loudly.

Gao Huan fell into deep thought when he heard the speech. The private economy has grown and grown over the years. In some industries, it is indeed more flexible and competitive than state-owned companies.

After years of development, state-owned companies have indeed had many problems. The company belongs to the court, and many management teams have arranged relatives and friends to enter the company to pick up the wool from the court.

Some people are interested in finding ways to climb up after working for two years, but are unwilling to manage.

However, in Gao Huan's view, these are all human problems, and there is something wrong with the idea, not to give up state-owned companies.

For example, Lianghuai Salt Industry, although the profits created by the company are very low, the salt price of the China Alliance is also the lowest in history, and it can even be said to be extremely cheap.

There have been private salt dealers throughout the dynasties, but the China Alliance has eliminated this profession.

Lianghuai Salt Industry has low profits and may even operate at a loss, but it lowered the salt price, gave benefits to the people and reduced the stability maintenance costs of the court.

For example, the various smelting plants in the imperial court also provided a large amount of high-quality and cheap steel for construction of railways, and almost all relied on huge subsidies from the imperial court to produce them.

In addition, the court can transfer the profits of state-owned companies, but cannot allow private companies to pay for the court's infrastructure.

Therefore, deep in Gao Huan's heart, the state-owned economy dominates and is unshakable.

Chen Youlong's words make some sense, but according to his ideas, Gao Huan is worried that this reform will lead to the loss of state-owned assets and create many oligarchs.

This is not what Gao Huan wanted to see. After listening to Chen Zilong's words, he roughly understood the demands of the growing bourgeoisie, and was to loosen their ties and annex state-owned assets at the same time.

The former Gao Huan could consider it and make some concessions to avoid the new bourgeoisie going completely to his opposite, while the latter had no room for negotiation.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan had already made a decision in his heart. He looked at Chen Zilong and said in a deep voice: "Your words make some sense, but they cannot deny the role of the state-owned economy in the court and the contributions made over the years."

Chen Zilong hurriedly said: "I have not completely denied the state-owned economy, but just hoped to survive the fittest and deal with state-owned companies that do not make money or even lose money."

Gao Huan nodded slightly: "I will consider your opinion. Mr. Du Ge has not made any mistakes in state affairs in recent years. What I mean is that I hope you can consider it and wait for another term. I will definitely recommend you to take charge of the political discussion when the next term."

Chen Zilong was very disappointed when he heard this. The emperor meant that he would not allow him to compete with Du Yinxi and denied his self-recommendation.

Seeing his expression, Gao Huan was obviously a little unwilling to accept it, so he said: "In recent years, the Duge Master has been in charge of the government, and the court has made great achievements in both economic and military affairs. Even if you run for the election, you will definitely not be able to elect. Of course, if you have confidence, I will not stop you. After all, according to regulations, as long as there are ten imperial officials recommended you, you can participate in the promotion."

When Chen Zilong heard this, he was a little confused and said, "I understand."

Gao Huan then waved his hand, "The court has developed well over the years, and the last term change has gone well. I hope it will be the same this time. Well, I believe you have many things to do in the ministry, so I won't keep you."

Chen Zilong could only bow and say goodbye. Gao Huan waited for him to leave, pondered for a moment, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Go and send someone to invite Mr. Duge to come."

As the election is approaching, Du Yinxi has suddenly suffered many attacks recently. He naturally knows that some people do not want him to be re-elected.

The impeachment of the censors and the attacks of the newspapers seemed to be negotiated and broke out in a concentrated manner.

This made many officials of the Chu faction very anxious and prepared to plan a counterattack.

When an official in the court, if there is no shit under his butt, it is not difficult to find some materials and fight back against the Jiangnan system.

However, Du Yinxi stopped his subordinates from counterattack, and he himself stayed in his door and allowed others to attack.

There are two main reasons for him to do this. The first reason is that although he also has a lot of black materials from the Jiangnan system, the problems that the Jiangnan system attacked him are indeed true.

If he fights back, and after the matter is serious, both sides will expose each other's fault, and in the end they will be both defeated, which will make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy.

The second reason is that when His Majesty the Emperor saw him being attacked, he only showed that he was not a single hand in the court, and his position in commanding the affairs was not stable and did not threaten the emperor.

Thinking about these points, Du Yinxi has recently been ill at home and is closed to thank the guests.

However, he claimed to be sick for half a month, but His Majesty the Emperor did not send anyone to come or summon him, which made Du Yinxi feel a little uneasy.

That day Du Yinxi was reading a book in the study, and his disciples suddenly came to report, "George, Your Majesty sent someone to announce the edict!"

When Du Yinxi heard the words, he raised his eyebrows. He pondered for a moment, and then said to the doorman: "You bring the angel directly to my room and say I'm in bed!"

The disciples followed him for many years, but they took the order and left without asking for the reason.

Du Yinxi quickly left the study room, returned to the bedroom, and then lay down on the bed.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside. An official entered and saw Du Yinxi lying on the bed with an unexpected look on his face. He was stunned and quickly saluted, "The official has met the old master."

"I dare not, I dare not, I am afraid, I am sorry for the illness. I wonder why the angels are here for?" Du Yinxi reluctantly supported himself and asked with great difficulty.

The official said, "According to the order of Your Majesty, I will come and summon the old master of the Pavilion to meet the saint."

When Du Yinxi heard the words, he frowned slightly. The emperor suddenly summoned him, which made him a little confused, "I don't know if Your Majesty summoned him, but there is something big about it!"

If it were a few days ago, Du Yinxi would be very happy, but the sound of attacking him these days has been full of wind and rain, which makes him a little worried.

"I don't know very well, but it's related to meeting His Majesty with Master Chen." The official said in a deep voice.

Du Yinxi was shocked when he heard the words. Chen Zilong had already seen the emperor. He hurriedly said, "Although the old minister is sick, your Majesty summoned him and your Majesty answered the order."

Soon, Du Yinxi took a small boat to Xuanwu Lake, boarded a dragon boat, and saw Gao Huan.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" Du Yinxi quickly saluted.

Gao Huan waved his hand and looked at him, "Sit down!"

After Du Yinxi thanked him, he sat down, and Gao Huan waved his hand again, "Take it to Master Du Ge."

Yang Yan then picked up a stack of newspapers and sent them to Du Yinxi.

Du Yinxi took the newspaper and knew without reading it. Most of the reports were reported by him that were attacked openly and secretly, but he still picked it up and watched it.

Gao Huan was drinking tea aside and waited for a long time. When he saw Du Yinxi put down the newspaper, he said in a deep voice: "The situation reported above is the truth!"

Du Yinxi did not conceal, "It is indeed the truth to report back to Your Majesty! There are indeed problems with the operation of these state-owned companies, and there have been many cases of embezzlement and bribery and embezzlement of the court's assets."

Gao Huan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, "Chen Youlong came to see me just now. He complained about you and took the initiative to recommend himself, wanting to run for the election and discuss politics."

Du Yinxi's heart was shocked. With the development of the economy over the years, the strength of the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan has quickly recovered and grown.

With money and resources, these gentry and merchants started to open new schools to support their children in Jiangnan to study, and then enter politics.

Although the talents they have cultivated have not yet occupied a high position, they have formed considerable strength.

In the past few years of Du Yinxi's rule, he had a feeling that if the court's policies were not supported by them, it would be difficult to implement them.

As a representative of the Jiangnan Group, if Chen Zilong wants to run for the election, it will be a huge pressure on Du Yinxi.

"Old Chen Ge Lao is outstanding in his ability and is indeed the best candidate to lead the political discussion!" Du Yinxi said in a deep voice.

Gao Huan laughed and said, "Gei really thinks so!"

Du Yinxi shook his head quickly, "But I think Mr. Chen does not have a deep understanding of the state-owned economy. It is true that the state-owned economy is facing problems now, but it must not be completely denied, nor can we give up the state-owned economy easily. I think the lessons of the late Ming Dynasty must be learned."

Gao Huanwen nodded, "I have already hinted him and hoped that he would wait a little longer to let him choose again next time. This time, several major cases of embezzlement of state-owned assets have caused storms and caused many people to begin to doubt the state-owned economy. I hope that at this meeting, you can come up with a plan to regain confidence in the state-owned economy."

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Du Yinxi was immediately overjoyed and understood the emperor's intentions.

~~~~~~~

When Gao Huan summoned Du Yinxi, Chen Zilong returned to the mansion.

At this time, many people were waiting in the mansion. When they saw Chen Zilong coming back, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Old Ge, how is the situation?" Huang Zongxi stepped forward anxiously and asked.

Chen Zilong shook his head and did not answer immediately, but walked into the hall and sat down.

Seeing this, Huang Zongxi and others looked down, "Your Majesty disagrees with the election of the cabinet master to lead the political discussion?"

Chen Zilong nodded and sighed, "Your Majesty asks our cabinet to wait for another term!"

"Wait for another term?" Huang Zongxi and others frowned in the character "Chiang", "Georgian is already in his seventies, how could he wait for another term?"

"Yes! And there are indeed many problems with Master Du's rule. The newspaper has reported it. Does Your Majesty care?"

Everyone present was a little indignant and was dissatisfied with Gao Huan's decision.

Since Gao Huan came to Jiangnan, they have been suppressed for almost thirty years.

Huang Zongxi asked in a deep voice: "George, has Your Majesty made it clear that you will not be allowed to run for election?"

Chen Zilong shook his head, "Is this here? Your Majesty doesn't want to break the rules, so he just advises me not to choose. However, Your Majesty did not give an order, so he definitely doesn't want me to choose."

"Old Ge, how is the situation?" Huang Zongxi stepped forward anxiously and asked.

Chen Zilong shook his head and did not answer immediately, but walked into the hall and sat down.

Seeing this, Huang Zongxi and others looked down, "Your Majesty disagrees with the election of the cabinet master to lead the political discussion?"

Chen Zilong nodded and sighed, "Your Majesty asks our cabinet to wait for another term!"

"Wait for another term?" Huang Zongxi and others frowned in the character "Chiang", "Georgian is already in his seventies, how could he wait for another term?"

"Yes! And there are indeed many problems with Master Du's rule. The newspaper has reported it. Does Your Majesty care?"

Everyone present was a little indignant and was dissatisfied with Gao Huan's decision.

Since Gao Huan came to Jiangnan, they have been suppressed for almost thirty years.
