Wu Yanzhi had to go to Wenchang Taidutai in the afternoon to do business, but he just had a casual meal at noon with Director Liu, Sun Heng, Jiang Shipeng and others, and he didn't dare to drink.

After the meal, he received a confession, a "copper and iron seal", and four "copper and iron seals", and handed over all the copper seals to the judge Sun Heng. Then he left the Tianguan Division and rushed to Wenchang Taidutai.

When they separated, Wu Yanzhi told him that the two of them would report to Shangfang Jian in five days, and the copper and iron office would be tentatively located there. It is also not far from Wenchangtai, and it is also very convenient to go there.

After the two obeyed the order, they bowed goodbye, and Wu Yanzhi rushed to Wenchang Taidutai (Shangshu Province).

It should be explained here that Wenchang Taidutai is an institution that conducts personnel management and document checks for the six departments. The heads of the six departments, Shangshu and Shilang, have no personnel authority over their own departments (detailed below).

The two yamen were in Wenchangtai together, not far apart, and Wu Yanzhi arrived quickly.

Neither the right man nor the right Shiro are there, only three of them are in charge and three of them are in charge. Those people quickly completed the onboarding procedures for him.

After he left Dutai, he came to the Yamen of the Winter Lawsuit! This is also where he worked as a winter lawsuit.

The pavilion chief guarding the door looked at the body, and said with reverence on his face: "Wu Lang Zhong, please!" The three principals are here, waiting for the villain to personally invite them over to meet Wu Langzhong! ”

"Good!"

After a while, the three principals rushed out to meet them. This is the lowest-ranking official in the outflow, which is equivalent to the current section chief level.

Ordinary officials also work at this level until retirement! Those who are lucky enough to be promoted to the main secretary and the capital are equivalent to the division chief and deputy director, and the main affairs are actually completed by them.

Several people led Wu Yanzhi into his office room! Wu Yan looked at it, but it was a little larger than the office room of Cheng Gao Jifu of Sibin Temple that day, about thirty-five to forty square meters!

The interior of the house is much better! Lamp trees, tea rooms, tables, chairs, copywriting cabinets, etc., are also larger or more numerous.

It seems that there is a huge gap between the five-rank ministry and the sixth-grade ministry.

This is not difficult to understand, originally the difference between the fifth and sixth rank officials in the Tang Dynasty was the difference between heaven and earth!

There is a master beckoning to hurry up and make tea.

"What about the predecessor Lang Zhong? What positions are placed? When he sat down, he asked the principals to sit down as well.

"Qi Wu Langzhong, Liu Langzhong has been transferred to Chang'an County! Since the division is not as good as the state and county, and there is nothing to hand over, he has asked for leave to return to Hedong Province.

The details of some affairs will be reported to Wu Langzhong in detail! One of the oldest officers replied.

Wu Yan listened, Chang'an County is Jing County, and the county order is the fifth grade, which belongs to the flat tone! He nodded: "The place he went to is not bad, it is better than here!" ”

"That's right! The winter lawsuit is an idle department, and on weekdays, it is to make some repairs to the palace, the houses in the imperial city, and the bridges between the two capitals.

When you have time, you can just go to the construction site where you will be supervised! Now we have to build a house to put Jiuding, but it's just a trivial matter! ”

"Hmmm! You bring me the catalogue of the projects under construction and let me take a look! "The Way of Martial Arts.

He has no interest in this winter official, and his main task is to make copper and iron. Here, let's familiarize yourself with it and go through the formalities.

After a month or two, after he leaves, all the work here will be temporarily handed over to Lang Zhong of the other department of the official or Dongguan.

Soon, someone brought over the catalogue of projects under construction.

He asked several directors to go to work, and he carefully read the details of the construction in progress.

I found that there were no new projects, but maintenance projects such as the palace city of the two capitals, the buildings in the imperial city, and the city walls!

After reading it, he pondered for a while, and decided on a few places to check.

He also thought about the big project he planned to build.

As the saying goes, "there are three fires when a new official takes office", and his subordinates are all office clerks, and their salaries are not high, and they don't want to burn the fire.

Just before you go, it's a good thing to start a big project! When he takes office as a new official, he can't do it without making some achievements.

It is necessary to let everyone in Luoyang know that there is a person like Wu Yanzhi.

As for what kind of project, he probably had an idea: of course, it was to build bridges and pave roads.

However, it is necessary to go to the site to carefully consider, including the detailed implementation plan of the project, especially how to raise the cost of the project.

……

On the second day, he came again to the Shang Fang prison.

The eunuch Qiao was not there, and only a young eunuch surnamed Zhao was in the government office.

Since Wu Yanzhi is also the chief official of Shang Fangjian, Zhao Shaojian and Hu Cheng are extremely enthusiastic.

Immediately send someone to complete all the formalities for him to receive the official uniform, fish charms, gold and jade accessories, etc.! Then he arranged for someone to send him to the Taoist temple.

In fact, there was no such position as a "chief officer" before, so no one knew his duties.

However, Hu Cheng, the Shang Fang supervisor who was responsible for receiving Wu Yanzhi, understood it very strangely:

"Wu Langzhong, I feel that this is actually the Holy Lord asking Wu Langzhong to familiarize himself with this Shang Fang Prison business first! Maybe the meaning of the saint is to let Wu Langzhong be in charge of the affairs of this Shang Fang Prison in the future!

After all, Wu Langzhong is a royal family, and it is impossible to be a five-grade Langzhong! Which of Wulang's clan uncles is not a high-ranking official above the third grade? ”

Hu Cheng's words, contemptible people dare not agree! I am still young, where can I suddenly climb to the third or fourth high? ”

Wu Yanzhi smiled and shook his head and said, anyone can hear it, of course this is a modest statement!

Having said that, he thought, should Shang Fang be a young eunuch or a big eunuch?

That is the handicraft industry and industry in charge of the whole country! He thought, if there really is such a day, it would be fine, but there would be no need to get involved in the whirlpool of Wu and Li right and wrong!

Hu Cheng said with a smile: "Didn't Wu Langzhong become Langzhong, a special envoy, and a county prince as soon as he came out?" Twenty years for the average person? It is estimated that the next young eunuch, Wu Langzhong is nine out of ten! ”

"I just want to mine more copper and iron for the saint, as for the location, it really doesn't matter!" He said indifferently.

That look is so deep that it is elusive.

Hu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: This Wu Yanzhi not only gave the Holy Emperor the system and the first, but also the thaumaturgy of smelting copper and iron.

He is an outstanding person among the descendants of the martial arts! Will it catch up with or surpass Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others in the future?

At noon, Zhao Shaojian summoned the four officials of Shang Fangjian, the Central Shang Administration, the Left Shang Administration, the Right Shang Administration, the Weaving and Dyeing Department, the Zhangye Department, the Jiafang Department, and the Crossbow Fang Department to dinner, and everyone got to know each other.

Naturally, everyone did not dare to slack off and tried their best to compliment!

Wu Yanzhi also coped with it easily, these people are all people who will deal with them for a long time in the future, and they can't be trusted.

"Hu Cheng, I forgot to mention, there are still empty rooms here, right? I would like to set up the office next to the Palm Metallurgical Department! Wu Yanzhi asked.

Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Where did Wu Lang say this? No matter how tight this room is, the lowly post will have to vacate three rooms to be used as copper and iron offices.

In fact, Wu Lang served as the copper and iron envoy, and Shang Fangjian's smelting office, dozens of smelting supervisors and dozens of coinage supervisors across the country have all become direct subordinates of Wu Langzhong.

It is equivalent to that half of Shang Fangjian's business has been assigned to the management of Wu Langzhong, so Wu Lang has something to do, just tell me to wait! ”

Wu Yanzhi nodded: "It's just right!" My idea is to co-locate the copper and iron office in Luoyang and the Zhangye Administration! Only seven or eight more officials need to be added! Anyway, the Metallurgical Administration is also in charge of this business in the whole country! ”

When Zhao Shaojian heard this, he nodded: "This is the best!" ”

He thought to himself: This metallurgical business is all under your control, and we are just taking care of personnel and logistics, and you can do whatever you want.

Maybe in a few months, my position as a young prisoner will still be yours!

………………………… Dividing line ..................................

(Don't look at it)

Wenchang Taidutai (at this time Shangshu Province was called Wenchangtai) and six introductions:

Wenchang Tai Dutai is the office of Wenchang Tai, there is one left and one right, and the left is four grades; The right is the fourth rank of the lower ranks. It is about the same grade as the six squires.

There are two divisions under the stage of Wenchang Taidu, the left is in charge of the left division, and the right is in charge of the right division! Each division has a Lang Zhong and a Wai Lang, and there are also three governors, three directors are officials, and there are a number of officials.

Zuo Cheng and Zuo Si are in charge of the three departments and twelve divisions of "officials, households, and rites"! The right and the right division are in charge of the three departments and twelve divisions of "soldiers, criminals, and workers"! So there are actually twenty-six divisions in Wenchangtai Province!

Management refers to the fact that the left and right divisions should inspect and seal the documents and supervise the personnel of the divisions under their management. Not only that, but the left and right sides of Wenchang Taiwan theoretically also have veto power over the newly appointed Lang Zhong and Yuanwai Lang.

The emperor may also veto the appointment of the author. Of course, when Wu Zetian was emperor, almost no one dared to use this veto.

Sixth Department: The secretaries and waiters of each ministry have no veto power over the personnel of their subordinate departments! It's very different from what we think.

To put it more clearly, the Shangshu and Shilang of the Sixth Department of Wenchangtai only manage and guide the business of their subordinate divisions, and do not have the right to manage personnel. The personnel management power of each department is left and right in Dutai.

At the same time, Shangshu and Shilang only symbolically signed the paperwork, and rarely interfered with the business of each division! It can be said that each division is equivalent to a "ministry" in later generations, with great power.
