Xue Ping looked at Li Ze in front of him a little dumbfounded, he was a little unbelievable about his appointment, which greatly surprised him.

What he asked for was the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites was originally a noble position, especially now that the small court of Zhenzhou is in a corner of peace, the Ministry of Rites is even more nothing, he thinks that he will definitely get his wish to Li Ze for this position, so that he will have more time to devote to the great cause of uniting like-minded people to assist the loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, the department that really has real power, Li Ze is definitely not willing to give it to himself.

But now, what came out of Li Ze's mouth were the four words of the Ministry of Works.

There is the Tang Dynasty, and the six Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty are divided into three lines, the soldiers are in the front, the criminal household is in the middle, and the rite workers are in the back, and above the ranking, the Ministry of Rites is ranked before the Ministry of Industry. However, in the current situation of Wuyi and the importance attached to things by Li Ze's own style of acting, the status of the Ministry of Industry has been greatly advanced.

If they were to be re-ranked, the Ministry of Industry would be ranked fourth, behind the third department.

The Ministry of Industry controls civil engineering and water conservancy, as well as the state's agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry (except for military horses), and fishery, and is a real affairs department, while Li Ze himself has a strong paranoid energy about the construction of roads and water conservancy.

Slowly, Xue Ping also realized some of these ways. Li Zexiu's funds were all allocated by the degree branch department, and most of them took the form of work-for-relief, which was actually a kind of disguised compensation for these newly occupied places, so that the people in the area had food to eat, something to do, and a little income, and at the same time, in the process of doing this, by the way, the census work was also completed, under normal circumstances, the project has not yet been completed, Wuyi's rule over the local area has gained a firm foothold, and order has been restored.

In addition to the newly reclaimed land, the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry also manages the distribution of all public land, such as Yongye Field, public land into private land and other transactions are fully controlled by them, all of which are extremely thick and oily.

Whether it is to build roads, build water conservancy, or tuntian, etc., all require a lot of money and manpower, after the formal establishment of the Ministry of Industry, the annual transfer of funds is only afraid of a large amount, which can be regarded as a first-class fat shortage.

Of course, this is also a department that is busy to death. Even when they were in Chang'an before, the area controlled by the Chang'an court was only limited to the area of Heluo and Guanzhong, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry were also busy one by one, the rivers were flooded here, the roads collapsed there, there were people encroaching on public land, where people were fishing privately, everything was enough to make people scratch their heads.

"Brother Xue, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites that you originally wanted, Mr. Zhang Huizhang has already expressed his attitude, and he also told me that he is the only one." Li Ze spread his hands and detained the big black cauldron on Zhang Hui's body. "Mr. Zhang's character is noble, his morality is highly respected, and his lifelong wish is to let his research knowledge spread all over the world, not to mention that now the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for the important task of taking the imperial examination, there must be such a person to suppress the formation!"

Xue Ping had nothing to say, if the Book of Rites in Li Ze's mouth was someone else, he could still argue with reason, but the chapter back that Li Ze brought out, no matter which aspect, he couldn't compare.

"Brother Xue is young and strong, it is the time to contribute to the country, and the Ministry of Industry has a great responsibility!" Li Ze said compassionately: "In places like the original Zhaoyi Festival Town and Weibo Festival Town, the most basic construction is simply miserable, and the officials we sent out mentioned in the memorabilia that even the official roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and the rivers often flood and burst the embankments. Even if there is food in the city, sometimes it cannot be transported to the affected area, and it is easy to read and hear people sigh as they watch people starve to death. We couldn't control it before, but now that it's all under the rule of the imperial court, how can we let such a thing happen again. Next, you have to run more, we have to put these things that can really solve people's livelihood in the first place, do one thing today, do one thing tomorrow, there is always a time to finish, right? If you do one, you can benefit the people of a place. ”

Li Ze, who was singing in a high tone, didn't care that Xue Ping's face was getting more and more bitter.

Xue Ping couldn't object.

Because Li Ze is standing on the commanding heights of morality and pointing fingers at him, you Xue Ping is young and strong, and your ability is good, how can you think about enjoying happiness now, you have to work harder, and solve the people's upside down, and the people's suffering is the right reason.

At this time, he also figured out Li Ze's intentions.

The other party wants to trap him with these complicated affairs. Think about it, if something happened to Zhenzhou and something happened to the prince, he Xue Ping was planning in a distant place to build roads, build water conservancy, and organize rivers, even if he got the news, when he came back, he was afraid that the daylily would be cold.

Lai is here not to go?

In his position, he must seek his own government, otherwise he will mess up the matter, Li Ze just sent himself away openly, and when the time comes, he will be assigned to a remote place to be a assassin in accordance with the law, and he will be a county commander, will he go or not? Maybe Li Ze is thinking like this, waiting for himself to make a mistake to clean himself up?

He has seen too many of these ghostly deeds above the officialdom. Be cautious, and you may be able to get caught in every possible way, let alone use two things?

Just resign and don't do it?

The royalist family is already weak, and there are very few positions that can be occupied in the small court of Zhenzhou, and the Ministry of Industry is also a good third product, sitting in this position, more or less can also install a lot of his own people, if you really don't do it, Li Ze is only afraid that he will pretend to keep it, and on the other hand, he will immediately replace himself.

Without a position, how can we talk about influence?

Xue Ping left the Jieshuai Mansion a little dejected.

Li Ze gave Han Qi the position of the secretary of the military department according to the previous agreement, but it was at the cost of cutting the town, Li Cunzhong was able to retain the position of the general of Yiwei, but the local governance rights under the original Hedong rule were all withdrawn. Next, the governance power of these places, those assassins, and the position of the county order, is another arduous struggle, if even these governance rights are lost, and they completely lose control of the place, then the chips in their hands will be further reduced.

Li Ze has a deep understanding of the means of local erosion, and Xue Ping has a deep understanding of it. Places like Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou have all been updated silently, while Cangzhou, Dingzhou, and Yizhou, in addition to the means of war, have launched reforms from the bottom up, and finally forced the original officials to step down one by one and were replaced by Li Ze and his family.

Yixing Society is a bloody knife in Li Ze's hand.

The life of the common people in Hedong is not a little worse than the days of the people under the rule of the original Wuwei, and now Hedong is still in charge of the powerful family, and most of the officials are from these families.

It is also doubtful how much real power Han Qi can hold in the Ministry of War, and the reform of the military system, getting rid of the local army, and abolishing the local Zhichong Mansion is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Ministry of War. Aside from the prison guards, the rest have been built into field armies, their independence has been greatly strengthened, and the influence of the military department on them has been greatly reduced, and now they are expected to be able to control Li Cunzhong and Qin Zhao.

Eleven guards and horses, they can only get two guards, which is a little frustrating to think about.

Tian Lingzi also got the position of Taichang Siqing as he wished, but this person's ability is limited, except for being able to follow the emperor loyally, there are not many things outside that can be counted on him.

I have to find a way to push Cheng Xu and Jin Shiyong up, as well as the six people who got them back from Weizhou because of the emperor's edict, and we must also take advantage of the emperor's shareholder style to find a good position for them.

In the night breeze, Xue Ping, who was walking slowly, gradually puffed up his chest, and his steps became faster and faster, which made the guards who followed behind a little stunned, because they also felt the change in the chief's mood from low to high.

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek!

Xue Ping kept cheering for himself in his heart, as long as he didn't die, he would fight! As long as you are still fighting, there is hope! What's more, he didn't want to overthrow Li Ze and replace him, what he sought was nothing more than to limit Li Ze's ambitions and prevent him from replacing him with the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Ping walked proudly in the night.

Li Ze was complacent in the mansion for Xue Ping to be deflated, no matter what, Xue Ping is a capable official, a talent who can really do things, let him go to the Ministry of Industry, let countless transactional work tie him up, let him keep running around to solve problems, and naturally there will be fewer incidents.

At this time, in the post house, Jing Xiang was holding a notice, studying the political reform edict issued word by word, and the edict was only described from the general outline, but for people like Jing Xiang, seeing the subtleties and knowing, but from this big and delineated edict, see the deeper things inside.

"Military advisor, just now Gongsun Changming sent someone to inform us that we can see Cao Shuai and General Zhu tomorrow." Wu Jian pushed the door and entered, and said.

"Okay, let's study this thing with Cao Shuai." Raised the notice in his hand, "It is meaningful, it is of great significance!" ”

Wu Jian said with a smile: "In essence, it is just Li Ze who monopolizes the power. ”

"On the surface, it's like that, but there's so much more to look out for inside." Jing Xiang said: "Li Ze is carrying out an earth-shaking revolution, which is extremely beneficial to us. ”
