Chapter 1299: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (189) Concentric
Helan Xiong laughed, "Brother and sister, settle the account, I can tell you Brother Zhao, the girl is extroverted, this is really right, let alone reduce the price for me, this little girl, I'm afraid she will still think about how to knock a few more from me." ”
Zhao Xilie shook his head in disbelief, "Princess Helan has that temperament, I'm afraid she doesn't have any feelings for money. ”
"Why don't you feel it, but now you feel it, don't you know yet? This Mingbo company, the king hangs under the name of Yanzi, speaking of her own business, and now she thinks she is a boss, thinking about how to make more money all day long, in order to show that she can not only fight, but also do business! He Lanxiong shook his head.
When Zhao Xilie heard the news for the first time, his mouth immediately opened wide, "I was fooled, I knew that this Mingbo Company belonged to Princess Helan, how could I have to let the housekeeper kill the price again!" ”
Helan Xiong's head shook like a rattle, "It's useless, if you bring me out, that girl may even increase the price by one percent." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed wildly.
"The king is really interesting, the shares of Wu's Liquor and the shares of the mine were given to the princess, Procter & Gamble shares were given to the third princess, and the Ming glass just made was given to Princess Helan, and it was said that it was given to the three princesses, and this money is too much, right?" Zhao Xilie shook his head and said.
"You don't know, the king, this is to prevent Wang Wuchang, our finance minister always thinks that the money is not enough, and our king can make money, just pick up a few times, every year is a large amount of money, Minister Wang from time to time wants to get a little out of the king to subsidize the treasury, the king is annoyed, he gave the property to the three wives, he has nothing, you Wang Wuyan can, can you go to the three princesses to ask for money?" The corners of Helan Xiong's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "And our king is now asking for his annual salary as soon as he sees Wang Wuyan." It is said that the money is in the hands of the daughter-in-law, and now the life is only miserable, it is reported that now our minister Wang, in private, has gone around our king! ”
Zhao Xilie laughed, "The best, all the best!" "Of course, they are all superb, a finance minister, who used to chase the king to ask for the king's private money, but now he is reversed. As a king, he chased after the minister to ask for his salary when he had the opportunity. From time to time, the deeds of the two will become an anecdote in the Dahan Weekly, and they will be publicized all over the world.
However, from these interesting things, Zhao Xilie smelled a completely new breath that was completely different from the past, that is, a relaxed, free breath, which made him very comfortable. As a general, he is very cautious when he first arrives. But a year has passed, whether it was cooperating with Xu Yuan in the First Military Region before, or dealing with officials in the imperial court center in Jicheng later, or finally reporting to the Third Military Region. What he saw and heard was always 108,000 miles away from his imagination, and his best prediction at the beginning was not much worse than his current situation.
Is coming to the Third Military Region a kind of exile? From one point of view. Yes, he has since stayed away from the center, away from Zhao Di, who has a far-reaching influence. But from another point of view, isn't this a kind of protection, even Helanxiong is here! Compared with Helan Xiong, I'm afraid his identity is even worse, Helan Xiong is safe, and he is doing a lot of work here, why can't he do it?
He Lanxiong is a typical Hun man, straightforward, loud-voiced, and it is really pleasant to work with him.
"Did you read the briefing you just sent?" He Lanxiong threw away the charcoal in his hand, walked to the window, and admired the snowflakes fluttering outside with Zhao Xilie, Zhao Xilie was born in a wealthy aristocratic family, although he was a military general, but he was very elegant, this kind of interest in appreciating snow, He Lanxiong has always felt that there is really nothing to look at, when he carried his sister on his back and fled with the tribe, this snow is the impermanence of asking for his life! However, this kind of experience, Zhao Xilie may never be able to experience. Sometimes Helan Xiong is very envious of people like Zhao Xilie, his status and power today are fought out with a knife and a gun, but the eldest son of Zhao in front of him was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and his life has been smooth, even if Zhao Guo falls, but they change their courts, they are still brocade clothes and jade food, and they are high.
Looking at Zhao Xilie's side face, He Lanxiong thought silently in his heart, fortunately, this person is not annoying, at least so far, they get along very happily, and they cooperate very tacitly. After all, Zhao Xilie was born in a family, and in terms of people's livelihood, he is really much stronger than himself, a general, and he can do more in this area in the future.
"I've seen it! Our king is reforming the old government office and setting up a new organization. Zhao Xilie smiled and said, "The king seems to have this hobby." The Ministry of Rites became the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda Department, Xun Lao also cultivated himself, Huo Xiaolin became the Minister of Culture and Propaganda, the Ministry of Health was newly established, and Jude Bao became the minister. ”
"What do you think of these two new ministries?" He Lanxiong asked.
"Cultural Propaganda Department, culture I understand, what is this propaganda, probably refers to public opinion, it seems that our king still attaches great importance to this piece, we used to say what the clear stream theory, but now, the right to speak is not by word of mouth clear stream, but the Han Weekly." Zhao Xilie said with a smile: "Relying on movable type printing and the distribution points of weekly newspapers all over the prefectures and counties, the imperial court can easily control public opinion. ”
"It's not necessarily, isn't it also very convenient for those clear streams who like to talk about it? Wouldn't it be faster than ever to write an article and submit it to the weekly newspaper and publish it in the world? He Lanxiong asked rhetorically.
"Commander, don't you take a look, who opened this Han Weekly, he opened it by the imperial court, what is the establishment of this propaganda department for? I think that's what I'm here to do a lot of the time. Zhao Xilie said.
"Then they dared to publish the previous affairs of King Han and Wang Wuyan, making the king the laughing stock of the world!" He Lanxiong was dissatisfied.
"You are wrong, the matter between the king and the minister is harmless, don't you think that after this matter spreads all over the world, the people will think that the king is closer to the people? More like a flesh-and-blood man? The common people thought, oh, it turns out that our king is also short of money, and at the same time, it also promotes the iron backbone of our minister Wang, look, Minister Wang is not even afraid of the king, you other people want to play sloppy in front of him, forget it! Zhao Xilie shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, this is just the imperial court letting them register, or even instructing them to register, if the imperial court doesn't want them to publicize it, it will never appear in the newspaper." ”
Helan Xiong stared at Zhao Xilie with wide eyes for a long time, "Sure enough, you scholars still have a lot of eyes." ”
"Commander, don't you also study?" Zhao Xilie laughed.
"Well, I don't read the same book as you do." He Lanxiong shook his head, "This Ministry of Health is another thing?" Jude Bao is a doctor, is it possible to set up a special department to manage the doctor? It seems that our king does have an addiction to establishing a new yamen. ”
"I don't really understand this, but the king never does things that are useless, but we don't understand them, or after a while, we can understand them."
"I hope that while the yamen is being abolished, new yamen are being established constantly, which has been done back and forth, and the number of people supported by the imperial court has not decreased much!"
"That's still different." Zhao Xilie said with a smile: "With this change, there are fewer people who eat idle meals, but the newly established yamen is in charge of their own affairs, but now the efficiency of the yamen is much higher." ”
"Well, that's right. Forget it, let's not talk about these things, some adults are worried about it, let's still worry about our own mess, Brother Zhao, you have been here for a whole year, and you are basically familiar with the situation here, and you have a spectrum in your heart about what we have to do, our third military region is a military and civilian grasp, which is completely different from the mainland, so the two of us still have to divide the labor, civil this part, Brother Zhao, your family history, or you are in charge, to be honest, these two years have made me worry to death, I'm really not good at this, I'm in a hurry, and I get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Zhao Xilie said, although the Third Military Region is called a military region, but in fact, the main business is reclamation, and the hundreds of thousands of people under its jurisdiction are basically civil affairs, and all activities also revolve around development, reclamation, and economic construction, and the real military force is actually no more than 10,000 people, and He Lanxiong handed over the entire civil affairs to him, which is to hand over the vast majority of the power of the Third Military Region to him, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He Lanxiong raised his hand and waved it in front of him, "Lao Zhao, I know what you are worried about, and I also know what you are thinking, here, I just want to tell you that when we are officials in the Han Dynasty, you don't need to think about these things, what you have to do is to do these things well, why didn't I hand them over to you when you first came?" That's because I want to see you, a year has passed, I think you are enough to bear these in terms of ability or other aspects, at least in terms of civil affairs, you are much better than me, know people and are good at their duties, this is what the king taught me, let the right people do the right things, I think, this is also the reason why the king asked you to come here, not just because you are Zhao Xilie. ”
Zhao Xilie was stunned for a while, and nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, since the commander said so, if Xilie doesn't work hard and doesn't do these things well, is he still a human being?" Commander, rest assured! ”
"That's right!" He Lanxiong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "With you in charge of this, I can use my mental strength in the military." (To be continued......)
