But things are obviously not so easy, the secretary of the government is the deputy of the subordinate official of the secretary of the government, and the secretary is in charge of the accounting and write-off of agriculture and the economy, and the detailed account of financial distribution.

To say that there is not much oil and water, but the materials required by the imperial court every year must be carefully calculated by the secretary of the government, which is equivalent to getting the government's budget table and supply list, with this, it will be very convenient to establish a business network and deal with the government, and at the same time, the annual import and export of raw materials in and out of Xianguo will be included in the intelligence scope of the Jin State.

However, after Bai Liyan became the chief farmer, the staff was streamlined and redundant, and all the chief officials and deputy positions under the jurisdiction of the great division of the agricultural and the governor were all cut and included in the list of subordinate officials of the political envoy, so the secretary of the government did not accept the secretary for six years.

In this way, the first thing Fang Bo will face after becoming the secretary of the government will be the embarrassing situation of having a virtual title and nothing to do.

The officials under Bailiyan have their own division of labor, the positions are clear, and the division is clear who does what and what links. With one more adjutant, the work will not increase by adding one. On the contrary, there will be more people who eat idle meals because of the increase in the number of establishments.

At the same time, the current productive forces are still very backward, and there are actually very few things in the yamen. After Bai Liyan took office, the subordinate officials had to go on business trips to various places every year to inspect agriculture and commerce, and report on the situation, so as to facilitate the regular fine-tuning of policies, so Bai Liyan's subordinates had no good errands at all. What's more, Bailiyan will not let Fang Boji's heirs have a good life.

Thinking through this, Xihuan asked Jiang Yu again:

"In addition to the secretary of the government, there are three other official positions?"

"One is the salt envoy, the other is the treasurer Shaocheng, and the treasurer of the Shanling County Government, but they are all fat and shortage."

Jiang Yu opened his mouth to be fat, but Xihuan understood that King Xian didn't have a good heart at all.

This salt envoy is a decisive fat shortage in all the vassal states, but in the Xian country it is a completely different matter.

Xianguo Salt City has been in the hands of the salt lords, and the salt lords are looking forward to the halo Hou horse, this salt envoy has not been placed in recent decades, the last time the salt envoy was a salt shortage in the Central Plains, the salt sales of the salt in the Xianguo country are so good that they are out of stock, and they have to go on business trips all over the country as a last resort. Fang Bo could not get cheap as the salt envoy, but was monitored by the Marquis of Lu, which was flashy.

The treasurer is subordinate to the Great Sima and the Great Sima Envoy, and is the deputy of the subordinate official of the Treasurer and the Treasurer, who is in charge of the entire military accounts and purchase and sales, and is also in short supply, and at the same time has access to many core secrets. But the key is that Da Sima is in charge of logistics, and a large part of logistics is under the influence of Da Si Nong.

However, since the Taiwei Zhang Jun lost power, the roles of the Xianguo Taiwei and the Great Sima were reversed, the Great Sima was in charge of military power, and the Taiwei and the Great Sima were in charge of logistics.

As for the treasurer of Chenling, the regular storage of the treasury of the government and the entry and exit of new and old goods in and out of the whole city of Chenling are also in short supply, and as long as there is a source of goods, they can purchase goods from the society and the government-run workshops and chambers of commerce in the name of public funds.

Similarly, as long as there is a way, you can also purchase goods that meet the requirements from your own commercial workshops, the annual profit is very considerable, and the Chengling is more than ten times more prosperous than fifteen years ago, the government treasury eliminates and stores the goods every year The flow is amazing, with the growth of commerce, it is equivalent to serving the iron rice bowl that will increase in value every year.

However, such a good fat shortage can't enter the court. And since the rebellion of Gongsun Yue, the sphere of influence belonging to the Great Sima Jiang Yan has redivided the territory of interests, and the Treasurer of the Tomb has been directly included in the jurisdiction of the Inner Mansion of King Xian, so as to facilitate the transfer of materials from the city at any time.

Therefore, turning around, Uncle Fang was either under the supervision of the salt lord or under the supervision of Baili Yan, and he would never be able to turn the palm of the Xian King.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Xihuan remained silent:

"Prince, although these are all hot official positions, my uncle is a businessman, and he will inevitably be criticized when he enters the court, so let's make another arrangement."

"Make another arrangement! Feng'er, you are stupid, this is a hard-to-find fat shortage, with the will of his father, who dares to say a word. ”

Xihuan is angry, she is not stupid, only the prince is really stupid.

"Let's take a long-term view of this matter, I don't want to be pointed at behind my back and say that I am reaching out to interfere in government affairs."

"How can it be, this is my father's will, how can it be to interfere in the government's affairs, Feng'er, you are too worried."

"I don't know if I don't think much about a woman, but I know that the officialdom is sinister, my uncle is a businessman, and where is the opponent of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs."

"Then Feng'er, what kind of official do you want to ask Yin Yangjun for?"

"How can I know this as a woman, forget it, it's okay if this official doesn't do it. Let's go, let's see how Tuo'er and Ping'er are doing. ”

Xihuan tactfully rejected the four official positions proposed by King Xian, so the next day the prince truthfully reported to King Xian, King Xian knew that Xihuan was unwilling to be bound, and could only hate his son's infatuation and was confused by Xihuan's ghost.

"The crown princess is what you said?"

"Yes, father, Xihuan thinks that Yin Yangjun is just a businessman, and if he jumps into the court, he will definitely be excluded by the courtiers."

Jiang Yu said, and King Xian continued to ask without fluctuation:

"Then the crown princess has something to ask for."

"Xihuan said, Yin Yangjun is not an official."

"Hmph......" King Xian snorted very coldly, and secretly said in his heart that Xihuan was really powerful. After thinking about it for a while, he hoped to continue: "Then what does the prince think about this matter." ”

"Erchen thinks that it is difficult for the court to have a vacant official position suitable for Yin Yangjun to take office, and maybe other official positions can be added to fill the power position."

"Oh...... New. ”

King Xian looked at his son meaningfully, angry in his heart, hating him for being unwise. But in the matter of Fang Bo's entry into the court, King Xian has a request for Xihuan, which can be said to be lacking in confidence and difficult to make a heavy hand.

"This matter is considered in the long run, and the prince will go to the state administration to participate in politics first."

"Obey my father."

When the prince retreated, King Xian said to Nuo:

"Nuo Aiqing, look at how this matter is handled."

"Back to the king, although Xi Huanming refused, he was actually not satisfied with Uncle Fang's restraints, this matter cannot be hastily met with the requirements, there must be a perfect strategy to prevent Uncle Fang from making trouble."

"Yes, this profiteer has not stopped for a moment in Jiangdong, and he has engaged in a miasma of local nobles, so you have to be careful of this thief." King Xian thought secretly, and turned his gaze to the imperial historian Li Xu: "Lord Li, is there a fat shortage in your name?" ”

Li Xumeng was stunned, the imperial history is the Qingshui Yamen, where is there any fat shortage.

"King Qiyu, the selection of talents by the officials of the Imperial History Department must be honest and self-controlled, and there is no shortage of fat."

"If there is no fat shortage, a new fat shortage will be placed. Gao Aiqing, what do you think is the new position? ”

"Back to the king, it doesn't matter what position he is, the important thing is to make Xihuan feel unconstrained and have real power, but at the same time, he has to be under the control of the king, and the new official position is probably not suitable under the name of the imperial doctor."

"Where is it to press then?"

"At present, there is no one in the prime minister's office, and it is most appropriate to temporarily put it under the name of the prime minister."

King Xian did not respond immediately, and thought for a moment and asked a promise:

"What does Lord Nuo think?"

"The minister thinks it is feasible, at least at the moment, the prime minister has not been established, and it is already a step back for the king to be placed under the vacant position, and if Xihuan asks for the price again, he doesn't know what to do."

"Well, what do you think of General Lu Gao and the Grand Lieutenant?"

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhang Jun agreed, but Lu Gao's attitude was still very cautious:

"The king, Xiangguo is the minister of the auxiliary state, and because he is wary of Uncle Fang's usurpation, the minister suggests that since he wants to put Uncle Fang under the name of Xiangguo, he should establish the position of Xiangguo as soon as possible, and after Xihuan compromises, he will immediately take office to suppress Uncle Fang."

Lu Gao's wording was tactful, but everyone present could hear Lu Gao's deep meaning, obviously there was only one person who could be the prime minister of the Manchu Dynasty at present, Bailiyan, but whether it was King Xian, Marquis Dingyang, Gao Xun, Li Xu or Nuo Yiyan, they all had concerns.

First of all, Zhao Xun is still alive today, there is no reason for the protégé to hold power before the lord, at least at the moment, he should still follow the traditional feudal etiquette system of the elder and the youngest, and the son inherits the father, and the protégé respects the etiquette of the lord. Li Xu and Nuo are difficult to agree with. Even if there is an urgent need in reality, there is no basis for public opinion and no market at the moment

Second, King Xian doesn't want to be a prime minister, Jiang Hai took over the Xianguo is a mess, Gongsun Yue has been in power for more than ten years, and the stall is even worse, and now it is finally hard to turn waste into treasure, King Xian's monopoly on power has just been enjoyed, and it is obviously impossible for him to delegate power, which is from one extreme to another. At the same time, although the relationship between Ding Yanghou and Bailiyan has eased, it will not agree to Bailiyan as Xiangguo and climb on his head to.

After Bai Liyan became the prime minister, he would inevitably accelerate the implementation of the new policy, and the nobles of the four counties of Beihai, Jiangdong, Suidang, and Dongyuan would bear the brunt of the damage, and the interests of the elite class would still be damaged, which was difficult for most nobles to accept.

In the end, Baili Yan and Gao Xun are in the same door, Bai Li Yan served as the prime minister, no accident is a long-term rule, Gao Xun is older and Bai Li Yan, in most cases go west first, Gao Xun as a vassal of King Xian, how to define the status is also very embarrassing, elevating Bai Li Yan, which is equivalent to belittling Gao Xun. At the same time, Bailiyan is already a marquis and a general with thousands of glories, and if he is appointed as the prime minister again, he will be a monopoly on power and no one can suppress it, which is not conducive to the state power and the existing aristocratic interests.

Although Lu Gao's suggestion was good, it was "unpopular", and King Xian immediately rejected the proposal, only saying that it would be discussed later:

"This matter will be discussed later. You should pay attention to the widows, the new official position holding the authority of He Zhong, can not only be conducive to the internal court's constraints, but also to form a good relationship with Xihuan, so that it will not have any more excuses. ”

"The subordinate officials of the prime minister are now performing their own duties, and the new official positions are bound to be divided into various authorities, which is really not easy to place."

Promise was embarrassed, and Gao Xun took over and said:

"Since it is a new authority, it is natural to get new rights, and if you move the existing authority, it is tantamount to giving authority to others. The minister thought that the Xianguo was changing with each passing day, and new commodities were emerging one after another, but there was no yamen to unify its jurisdiction, so it was better to set up a new official post to specialize in the duties of commerce. In this way, Yin Yangjun can not only use his connections and business market in the Jin Kingdom, but also use his power to govern new commodities, and at the same time indirectly place them under the jurisdiction of Xiangguo, Yongxing Hou and Dawang, and Xianguo can sit back and reap its benefits. ”

Gao Xun's words won the favor of King Xian:

"Well, Aiqing's words are deeply in line with the hearts of the widows, there are many kinds of commodities in Yongxing City, but every year they only know the income and do not know the category, there should indeed be someone who specializes in this position. What does Nuo Aiqing think? ”

King Xian asked, Nuo thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not a big deal:

"It should be feasible, at present, Yongxing City is controlled by Yongxing Hou, and the import and export goods are all in charge of Dasi Nong, Chenling County Government, Yongxing City, Yongxing Hou Mansion, Inner Mansion and Da Sima, Taiwei, and Wai Zhi Duo Yamen, each taking what he needs, and the new post will have no right to dispose of, but it can get huge business opportunities in Xianguo, this law is very good."

Denuo's word was affirmative, and King Xian was relieved:

"In that case, do you have any objections?"

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

Everyone spoke in unison, and no one objected, and King Xian was extremely satisfied, so he asked Gao Xun again:

"Gao Aiqing, what should be the name of the new official position?"

"Since it is specialized in 10,000-style commodities, the minister thinks it is better to be general, so how about calling it a commercial envoy?"

"Yes, for the new position of commercial envoy, set up a commercial business department yamen, specializing in 10,000 types of commodities. Lao Gao Aiqing went to the prince's mansion to discuss with Xihuan again, and he must tell him that this is the last bottom line of the widow, and there is no room for concessions. ”

"Your Ministers obey."
