Chapter 816 The Rise of Entertainment

UOB is actually a product of the split of Royal Bank.

In the future, Royal Bank was an ordinary private bank, similar to Jinling Bank and Songjiang Bank.

Wu Changqing handed over the currency issuance rights of the Royal Bank to the United Overseas National Bank.

The most domineering part of the Royal Bank, the sharpest weapon, is the mastery of the issuance of currency.

This power alone can actually control the economic trend of a country.

But now, Wu Changqing once again showed his selfless side, handing over this power to the imperial court.

The right to issue currency is in the hands of the court and in the hands of the emperor. In fact, it only affects the future emperor, and it is not much different for Wu Changqing.

In any case, he can now make real promises, and in the end it is he who has the final say on how the currency is issued.

As for the Royal Bank's lack of currency issuance rights, it will make a lot less money, that's okay.

Anyway, the money Wu Changqing earned from the bank was not subsidized to various departments in the end, and he couldn't spend that much.

Nowadays, the royal family has few members and spends less money, but it is not like the old Zhu family has to support millions of people.

Calling the cabinet the right to issue currency can also play a leading role.

The emperor has made sacrifices, and other officials whose power has been weakened naturally dare not complain.

Otherwise, that's a good thing.

This reform, the power of some people has been greatly weakened.

For example, Qian Taoli, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, has now become the Minister of Finance. To put it figuratively, his power has become a quarter of the original.

To appease him, Wu Changqing gave him the title of earl, which is not hereditary.

It is not easy for a civil official to become a nobleman, and this title of nobleman can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

Others whose powers have been weakened have received similar compensation.

As for those officials whose powers have been elevated because of the reform, naturally there will be no more.

However, Wu Changqing also promised that as long as he can achieve results, he will have opportunities in the future.

Wu Changqing intends to give them a non-hereditary title of nobility when they retire, so that they can show the mighty grace of the emperor without creating too many nobles.

Anyway, when you reach the retirement age, you basically don't have a few years to live, and the title is not hereditary. If you die, it will be taken back by the court.

Hundreds of officials can also see this clearly, but it is better to have nothing than nothing. It is better to have something than nothing.

The reform of the official system is a relatively long process. Even if the basic framework has been determined, the next step will be a step-by-step process, rather than a one-time change of all positions.

If we do that, I'm afraid the administration will be in chaos.

To completely complete these reforms, it will take at least a year and a half, or even longer.

Although this kind of reform is destined to have a far-reaching impact, the impact on the current situation is not particularly obvious, so the people actually don't pay much attention to this matter.

Ordinary people like to pay attention to the kind of information that has quick feedback, or they pay more attention to the results and don't care about the process.

Another point is that there is a lot of news about Dahua at the moment.

Compared to those interesting news, the changes in the courtroom seem very boring.

Not to mention the various wars overseas, even Organa's concert attracted more attention than the change of the court.

For people who are used to listening to Dahua songs, they will feel completely different when they listen to a foreign language song by chance.

Although most people don't understand the lyrics, it doesn't matter, just from the melody, you can feel the quality of the song.

Music knows no borders, and a good melody, no matter what language is sung, is a pleasant sound.

Moreover, Organa speaks Chinese very well, and often sings Chinese songs.

Because she is an outsider, she is not bound by the format of previous Chinese songs, and the lyrics are very straightforward and easy to understand.

To put it simply, the previous Chinese songs were all literary, but she sang pop songs.

Too literary things, although artistic achievements may be higher. But its audience is definitely no way to compare with popular songs.

Just like the currently very famous traditional song "Nian Nujiao, Chibi Nostalgia", people who have no literary literacy can only listen to the lively, and can't understand what it is singing.

Previous musicians, writing and arranging songs, all followed this format.

And Organa, regardless of so much, directly wrote a song "Jinling Welcomes You".

"Walking through the crowds, the whole city shines..."

Most of the lyrics can be understood.

Moreover, this song is all about the beauty of Nanjing, which makes Nanjing people very satisfied.

Geographical discrimination has existed since ancient times and will never disappear.

At present, Nanjing is the capital of Dahua. The locals have a natural sense of superiority and often look down on people from other places.

Organa praised Nanjing, and they all had an inexplicable sense of pride in their hearts.

In fact, Organa is so beautiful that it doesn't matter whether she sings well or not.

Singing well just makes her more popular and more popular.

Organa became famous in Nanjing, as well as a North Korean woman, Yoon Hye-eun.

Yin Huien also has a stunning face and the voice of a lark.

Of course, Dahua also has many women with this kind of talent, but Dahua women can't be like Organa and Yin Huien

Just showing up.

In this case, Organa and Yin Huien became popular first, and the two set off a star-making craze.

Many businesses began to discover the role of stars and began to take them seriously.

The topic of celebrities is very eye-catching. Ordinary people like to pay attention to these things. Using celebrities to advertise is much better than other methods.

As a result, many businesses began to think of ways to keep Organa and Yin Huien in their hands, or to create their own stars.

All the ladies are reluctant to show their faces, and there are many chaste shepherds on the Qinhuai River.

It's nothing more than letting them learn new skills, such as pop songs and the like.

Fame and fortune are the strongest driving force in the world. After making profits, Dahua's entertainment business has also accelerated its pace.

Those who started cultivating stars were a little slower.

At present, the two most popular stars in Nanjing are Organa and Yin Huien.

And this, of course, did not escape the attention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a very important function, which is to make fun of the emperor.

Drama, acrobatics, animation...  

All kinds of interesting entertainment in the world, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will report to Wu Changqing, or directly arrange for the emperor to appreciate and enrich daily life.

Most of the previous entertainment projects, Wu Changqing has seen, have lost their novelty.

And Organa's singing performances and dancing performances have a unique exotic flavor.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also thinking of giving it a try, so they brought Organa and Yin Huien to the palace and asked them to perform for the emperor.
