Chapter 1017: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office (First Update)
As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, the ministers of Zhao State present suddenly showed different expressions on their faces.
Yu Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and made a deep salute to Zhao Dan: "How can the minister He De be so trusted by the king, and he will repay the king!" β
Although it is only a five-year phase, it is enough for Yu Xin.
After all, Yu Xin is also in his early fifties now, and if he does it for another five years, he will be sixty years old.
In this era, fifty years old is already enough to be called an advanced age, and if he can really complete the five-year term, Yu Xin will definitely be satisfied.
Looking at Yu Xin's appearance, Zhao Dan also had a smile on his face.
From any point of view, Yu Xin is the best choice to inherit Zhao Sheng's position.
After all, Yu Xin's prestige is enough, and secondly, he has been in the high-level of Zhao for more than ten years, and his qualifications are not a problem, and Yu Xin, who has always been a secretary, is the second important minister of civil officials in addition to Zhao Sheng.
As for several other civil officials who also wanted to try the position of Xiangbang, or had something in their hearts, such as Zheng Zhu, Li Bo and even Li Si, etc., they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed on their faces.
However, after all, all the people present had seen the wind and waves, so they quickly cheered up again and said hello to Yu Xin.
After all, Yu Xin himself is the number one candidate, and Zhao Dan also said just now that there is also the deathbed recommendation of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, the weight of the two together is indeed so that others have no way to compete.
In fact, they didn't know Zhao Sheng's deathbed recommendation, otherwise the atmosphere in the hall today would not be so subtle.
Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Since Yu Qing joined Zhao, he has worked hard for many years, and has made a lot of contributions to the widow and Zhao Guoguo. The widow feels that the non-feudal monarch is not enough to commend his merits! I don't know what you think? β
Yu Xin is still Shangqing, but after becoming Xiangbang, he has to lead a bunch of feudal monarchs under his command, which feels a little strange, so Zhao Dan is also ready to get this supporting treatment.
In fact, in the Warring States Period, Xiangbang was basically the king, which was already the practice of most countries.
After all, the official title has reached its peak, and if the title doesn't keep up, it can't be said.
Compared with when the appointment was just announced, the time for Zhao Dan's proposal to be responded to this time was much faster.
"King, the old minister thinks that Yu Qing should indeed be crowned!" Lian Po was the first to stand up and said in a loud voice.
Then there were Li Mu, Pang Xuan, Zheng Zhu, etc., and all the important ministers of Zhao State agreed with this in a very short time.
Since Yu Xin's ascension to the throne is already unstoppable, then there is naturally no need for these important ministers of Zhao State to risk offending Yu Xin to oppose this matter.
Isn't it just a feudal monarch, there are more feudal monarchs present, and there is no shortage of Yu Xin.
After getting everyone's approval, Zhao Dan didn't talk nonsense and announced his decision straightforwardly.
"Since this is the case, then the widow will take Yu Xin as the monarch of the country and hold the ceremony of sealing the monarch on a certain day!"
Yu Xin's mood is called an excitement.
It's like a lonely bachelor walking down the road, suddenly dropping a wagon of gold, silver and jewelry, and then a beautiful woman pops up to be his wife.
It's so cool, too!
Yu Xin once again respectfully saluted Zhao Dan: "Minister, thank you for the king's grace!" β
β¦β¦
Now that the candidate for the prime minister has been decided, this meeting is naturally over.
After the meeting, Zhao Dan kept the newly elected new prime ministers, Yu Xin and LΓΌ Buwei.
"Do the two Qing families know what the widow is waiting for you?" Zhao Dan sat on the top seat of the side hall of Longtai very calmly, and looked at the two important ministers in front of him while talking.
Yu Xin, who was still a little excited and flushed on his face, hurriedly replied: "Please also ask the king for advice." β
Zhao Dan didn't speak, took out one of the large volumes of books on his desk, and threw it in front of Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, let's take a look for yourself." β
Yu Xinleng paused, then subconsciously picked up the booklet and flipped through it.
Looking at it, Yu Xin's face began to become more and more flushed, and sweat slowly dripped from his forehead.
Zhao Dan looked at Yu Xin and said with a smile: "If An Guojun finishes reading it, you might as well show Wen Xinjun as well." β
Yu Xin took a deep breath and handed the booklet in his hand to Lu Buwei beside him, his whole face was cloudy, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Buwei glanced at Yu Xin with some confusion, then took the booklet from Yu Xin's hand and flipped through it as well.
After a while, Lu Buwei's forehead began to slowly sweat.
The content of this booklet is actually quite simple, that is, it records some general business discrepancies, as well as some costs, profits and the like, and in general, it is a relatively simple annual financial report.
But the problem is that the object of this financial report recorded in this booklet is not from the Shaofu under the rule of Zhao Dan, the monarch, but from the property of the important ministers of Zhao State!
Whether it is the deceased Zhao Sheng, or LΓΌ Buwei, who has just joined the important ministers of Longtai, either because of their own identity or because of their outstanding business acumen, they all have huge industries in Zhao State, and they all belong to the kind of out-and-out capital predators.
What textile factories, lacquer gardens, lumber yards, manure factories, coal factories, animal husbandry and even slave hunting groups, etc., almost every industry in the Zhao Kingdom has the shadow of these Zhao State's important ministers' families.
And the report that Zhao Dan just showed them is a rough financial report of the industries under the command of these important ministers of Zhao State and their families!
It's actually a very scary thing.
Because you must know that financial reports like this are usually top secret, and only important ministers who are the head of the family and a few core members of the family know about it, but now it appears on Zhao Dan's desk!
Of course, in fact, this matter is not the most critical, the most critical problem is-
Zhao Dan smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said to the two sweaty Zhao State ministers in front of him: "If there is no big problem with the arithmetic of the widow, according to the above figures, it seems that the families of the two Qing families have more or less some tax evasion." β
When Zhao Dan said this, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes.
