"King, I don't care about the criticism of the world, I just want to share your worries!"

Uncle Gong's words and expression were full of sincerity.

Qian Yun said: "Wang, let Mr. Uncle take care of the business department." ”

Among the three secretaries determined in the morning, the official title of the principal of the Ministry of Commerce was "Shaofu", and the squire and langzhong were also established. Since it is not intended to concentrate the Ministry of Commerce under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister, it is more appropriate to list it as one of the three secretaries.

Qian Yun, as the head of the ministry, should recommend talents to the monarch and fully consider what position the talents are suitable for.

Zhao Xie was not in a hurry to arrange his duties immediately, and first continued to understand his uncle's ability.

The three of them continued to communicate in the living room, and Uncle Li showed more talents.

For example, in terms of the law, what kind of terms should be formulated in order to be superficially fair and easy to grasp the businessman's pigtails, which requires both familiarity with business and understanding of the law to come up with.

The more Zhao Xie listened, the more he was happy, and his uncle's methods were both vicious and effective.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang, who was then the ruler of Su, also suggested the implementation of a monopoly on salt, iron, and alcohol, and found a way to crack down on merchants, encouraging the people to denounce merchants, as long as they were found to be wrong, the merchants' property would be confiscated. It is precisely because of Sang Hongyang who controls the finances that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has financial resources for the protracted war against the Xiongnu.

Now Uncle Gong's means of leaving are more clever and effective than Sang Hongyang.

Uncle Gong Li talked about the work of the household department, including formulating a reasonable financial plan according to the income of the government treasury and the actual needs of the imperial court; This includes how to collect taxes effectively, and so on.

Next, it extends to other aspects, including the work of various cabinet departments, including the general trend of the world, and so on.

Zhao Xie has always been respectful and kind, and he has been a corporal of courtesy.

The more he learned, the more comprehensive Zhao Xie's judgment on Uncle Li's ability to leave. Generally speaking, Uncle Gong's ability to serve in the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Household has reached excellent, and his ability level can cover other aspects, but it will be slightly worse than his ability to work in the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Households. In a nutshell, it means being proficient in a certain aspect in a well-rounded situation.

In the evening, Zhao Xie ordered dinner to be brought in and eaten together in the living room.

"Mr. Uncle, I've heard you say it for so long, and I'm very reasonable, but do you know if you're Zhao Kuo on paper? Not only should the head be able to think and the mouth be able to speak, but also be able to do a good job is the key! ”

For people with strong theoretical ability, Zhao Xie takes into account two aspects. First, strong theoretical ability does not mean that practical ability must be strong, and it is necessary to give practical opportunities for observation and assessment first; Second, this is a reasonable reason for evaluating talents, and it clearly shows that it is impossible to give you a very high official position from the beginning, and you need to have actual results.

Like Wei Ying and Shen Buxian in history, they defected to Qin and Korea respectively, and after the monarch decided to appoint them, they were made into the position equivalent of prime ministers, which could not have happened in Zhao State.

The uncle left and said: "The king, you are a good Bole, and the minister will definitely prove that he is a thousand miles!" ”

Zhao Xie said: "Uncle Li, the widow appointed you as the squire of the Ministry of Commerce, from the fourth grade." The first thing you have to do is to push the monopoly of salt and iron. As long as you make meritorious deeds, the widow will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds. ”

Uncle Li bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, my king!" ”

Zhao Xie got talents, uncle left Mingjun, and Qian Yun successfully recommended talents, and everyone was happy.

Tomorrow the letter of appointment will be officially issued, and the office address of the Ministry of Commerce has not yet been chosen, and the required officials are even more blank.

The three of them continued to discuss, and finally decided to transfer a part of the personnel from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Commerce, and then recruit a group of officials. In terms of personnel, Qian Yun is naturally in charge.

The three of them discussed until the end of the day, when the matters of the Ministry of Personnel and Commerce were determined, and Zhao Xie determined the major guidelines and policies, and then the courtiers implemented them.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Xie thought carefully again.

If most of the commercial operations in the market are controlled by the imperial court, this will certainly be able to obtain a lot of wealth and enrich the imperial treasury. However, this has drawbacks, and over time, there will be large vested interest groups within the commercial department that regulates business operations, and all commerce will be nationalized, and the lack of competition may lead to industrial rigidity.

Except for special industries, whether in ancient times or in modern times, all enterprises are nationalized, and this book is not advisable, but now that the situation of Zhao is special, this policy is adopted, and after gaining an advantage in the world, it must be appropriately adjusted.

Even if there are drawbacks, it will be a matter of the future, and it will not be enough to bring a fatal blow to the country, and the most important thing is to make Zhao strong in a short period of time.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xie will adopt Uncle Gongli's suggestion; Perhaps it was precisely because Zhao Guo was in urgent need of money that Uncle Gong would make this kind of suggestion.

——————

On the first day of November, the west gate of Xiangguo.

Here, a wooden platform has been temporarily erected.

More than 40,000 Zhao generals gathered outside the city, and infantry, cavalry, crossbow soldiers and other troops were neatly arranged in multiple phalanxes.

The soldiers were in bright armor, their swords were shining, and the north wind was blowing the flags and hunting.

After yesterday's conclusion of the Korean meeting, the whole army was promptly informed of the military aspects of the various reforms.

In the future, not only will the full amount be paid, but it will also be increased by 20%; The new promotion standards allow all soldiers to be treated fairly; Even if you don't fight, as long as you are old enough to join the army, you can get promoted.

The announcement of these three measures, the vast majority of the generals were sincerely happy, grateful to King Zhao, coupled with the help of God Haotian, and further pushed the prestige of King Zhao.

Originally, Chen Yu's prestige and support in the army were basically gone, and the generals only had King Zhao in their minds.

The soldiers were in good spirits and with smiles on their faces, waiting for the arrival of the king they had embraced.

A total of 33 officers will be promoted, and all of them were notified yesterday afternoon, and today is the official appointment.

In addition, there are 11 officers who climbed up through the back door by pulling connections, and their military merits and abilities do not match their actual military ranks, and they will be held accountable today, although there was no notice yesterday, but some people can have a premonition that something is wrong.

There are also thirteen other people, whose military merits and abilities match the military positions they should get, but they also used to curry favor with Lu Tian, because Lu Tian was unfairly promoted, forcing them to do so, and they were also worried about whether they would be punished.

At four o'clock, surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, Luan drove here.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, King Zhao drove out of Luan, dressed in a black base royal costume, wearing a crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, and strode towards the high point of the general's platform.

Zhao Xie, who was standing on the platform, looked down, facing the eyes of all the people, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who supported him, the king's momentum spontaneously emerged.

The state of Zhao is firmly under his control, and this is just the beginning, followed by the entire north, and then the whole world.
