"I want to set up left and right promotions in the city shipping department, coordinate the affairs of my Datang national shipping trade, from the three products, hanging in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in case of trouble, directly report to me, have the right to cut first and then play, who do you think Aiqing can take on this important responsibility?"

Tai Chi Temple.

After Cui Shanfu took the envoys of the thirty-two countries of Nanyang to the side hall to rest, Li Er looked at the ministers below and asked.

Left and right of the city's shipper to lift?

When the ministers heard Li Er suddenly talk about this, they couldn't help but look at each other, this emperor is really too strong! I didn't discuss with them before, but I announced that I was going to set up a city shipping department, and now I have directly notified everyone of the personnel structure of the city shipping department, which is simply extremely strong!

But some people's minds are lively, the imperial court sent a large number of fleets to trade south this time, and the rich profits made everyone understand how huge the wealth on the sea is, if it is as Li Er said, the right of the city to raise this position is too great, and at the same time, the oil and water in this position will also be very amazing, obviously, this is a fat difference!

"Your Majesty, the promotion of the city is very important, the daily handling of the silver will be thousands, with all due respect to the old minister, this position is very easy to breed corruption, if Your Majesty really decides to set up the city of the Division, then the city of the Department of the promotion of candidates, the old minister hopes that Your Majesty is cautious, it is best to choose a person with both ability and political integrity, integrity and integrity! It can not only ensure the normal operation of the city, but also increase the income of the Datang treasury! ”

Fang Xuanling turned around and glanced at the ministers who were "buzzing" behind him, and then walked out of the crowd and bowed to Li Er.

Being able to say these words proves that Lao Fang is a person who is truly dedicated to the country and has no selfish intentions, and for the sake of the country, he even does not hesitate to offend the villain!

Li Zexuan heard Lao Fang's speech in the back, and couldn't help nodding secretly, the city shipping department is in charge of the entire country's maritime trade, similar to modern customs, only one tax, you can get thousands of silver dollars every day, this is not an exaggeration at all, especially in this era of maritime trade, the imperial court monopolizes all the marine trade, and the city shipping division is simply more profitable than opening a bank, and the promotion of the city shipping division is given so much power by Li Er, it is simply providing a hotbed for corruption!

Throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties, the phenomenon of collusion and corruption with local tycoons is simply innumerable, creating many coastal wealth, and some people are even rich enough to rival the country!

These people are all moths of the state, because they earn money that originally belonged to the state.

"What Fang Aiqing said is extremely true, I will carefully consider the candidates proposed by the city, I don't know if Fang Aiqing has a suitable candidate in his heart?"

Li Er's eyes narrowed, looked at Fang Xuanling and asked kindly.

“....... Back to Your Majesty, there is no ideal candidate in the heart of the old minister! ”

Fang Xuanling thought about it and replied.

He knows a lot of honest and honest officials, who are not greedy for money, and who are decent people, but while meeting these conditions, they must also understand maritime trade and have a strong view of the overall situation, so it is too difficult to find such people! He couldn't think of anyone who could take on this task for a while.

"Well, what about auxiliaries? Do you have the right person in mind? ”

Li Er nodded, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji next to him, who was like an old monk, and asked.

Listening to Li Er's question, the eldest grandson Wuji straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to reply without hurrying:

"Back to Your Majesty, what Xuan Ling was worried about just now is extremely reasonable, so the minister thinks that this city should have a place for the king of Hejian County! The king of Hejian is an upright person, and he will never disregard the interests of the court for the sake of money, and the king of Hejian has led the fleet to trade south not long ago, and he knows the most about maritime trade, so the minister thinks that the king of Hejian is the most suitable candidate! ”

Accidentally!

Li Xiaogong, who was standing in front of the courtiers, couldn't help but be surprised after listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, to be reasonable, he did not have much deep friendship with the eldest grandson Wuji, why did the eldest grandson Wuji elevate him like this? What's more, he didn't want to be promoted!

Because he is the Li Tang clan, he wants to avoid suspicion, he feels that his current status is enough, and further forward is the abyss! He understood that he couldn't get too involved in the government politics, so as not to provoke people or provoke Li Er's suspicion!

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that the king of Hejian County is a suitable candidate for the promotion of the city~!"

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji's suggestion, Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he echoed.

He didn't expect Li Xiaogong before, and when the eldest grandson Wuji said this, he instantly felt that Li Xiaogong was the most suitable candidate.

"Well, that's good! Filial piety is indeed suitable! ”

Li Er's eyes turned, and he looked at Li Xiaogong again, and was about to speak, when he saw Li Xiaogong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the promotion of the city is very important, and the ministers have little insight into the sea trade, but they just ran a few more miles by sea, it is really difficult to take on this heavy responsibility, and I hope that Your Majesty will choose another virtuous person!" ”

For others, this position is delicious fat, but for Li Xiaogong, this position is a hot potato, with his current status and prestige, there is really no need to fix these moths, it is easy to cause trouble to himself, not to mention, he is also very tired of being busy every day.

And he just came back from the sea, and he didn't want to go on a "business trip" to a coastal city so soon! How good it is to stay in Chang'an!

"Why should filial piety be humble? Your ability I know best, hehe, rest assured, I will not let you go to Guangzhou so soon, you have just returned from the sea, just rest for a while, it just so happens that this city ship division is just established, need to be equipped with a lot of officials, I appointed Xiao Gong you as the city of the port division left to promote, and give you three months, you set up a good member, court officials, below the third grade, above the seventh grade at your transfer, after the city of the division is formed, you go to Guangzhou to take charge of the national shipping affairs! ”

Li Er smiled, and without saying anything, he transferred Li Xiaogong to the newly established Yamen of the City Shipping Division.

"........" Li Xiaogong was completely speechless, Li Er was simply playing hooligan! How can anyone else be unwilling to be forced to others, it's too unreasonable!

"The old minister obeys!"

Li Xiaogong knew that he could not "reform" a person who deliberately played hooliganism, so he could only accept this appointment.

"As for the right promotion of the city department, I decided to let Li Zexuan take the position, what do you think?"

Li Er smiled with satisfaction, and then repeated the old trick and stretched out the "fangs" to Li Zexuan, who was half-asleep against the corner.

Dig the groove! Lao Li, don't pit the master!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it can't be! The minister is only fifteen this year (the fifteenth birthday just passed last month), his ability is limited, I am afraid that it is difficult to convince the public, and the minister has been seasick since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will be unable to save his life when he goes to Guangzhou! What's more, the minister still has to teach and educate people in Yunshan and cultivate talents for my Datang, which is really impossible to leave! Your Majesty! ”
