242 in his hands
Not only Tan Jincheng and Yang Yuheng, but also Han Kai also got the official title of deputy director of the National Strategic Resources Office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough he can only be regarded as a petty official who is not in the stream in the Beijing division where the five-rank officials are everywhere, he has indeed obtained a high-grade official position with real power.
Originally, these people could only rely on bribing and propping up court officials to achieve their own political goals, or they could only rely on the bureaucracy to formulate state policies that were beneficial to them. But now, they already have the possibility of becoming their own officials, and they also have the possibility of letting the later businessmen sit in the position of first assistant!
"Ladies and gentlemen! The Imperial Family, borrowing 700 billion low-interest loans from the Imperial Development Bank! Wang Jianrui poured a mouthful of priceless low-alcohol liquor on the wine glass in front of him, then stood up, raised his wine glass, and said: "Presumably, this is more than money, all of which will go into your pockets, I am here, I wish you all brothers in advance, and the wealth is rolling!" ”
"Good! An order for 3,000 artillery barrels, 1,000 new guns, and 3,000 tanks for the Imperial Army! Cheers! Tan Jincheng also stood up, raised his wine glass, and proudly showed off.
Yang Yuheng was even more ambitious, he also stood up, raised his wine glass, and drank it all without waiting for others to speak: "For the order of 100,000 cars of various models!" Long live the Ming Empire! ”
Similarly, Han Kai also drank his wine proudly, and shouted with a smile: "For my million-barrel crude oil production increase agreement, I naturally want to have a drink!" Come! Cheers, everybody! ”
One after another the glass was raised, and one after another the myth of getting rich because of war was born. Standing up, Han Wanli, who was beside Tan Jincheng but didn't dare to say a word, held his wine glass and drank the wine with everyone. He knew that after this banquet, he really took the last train of the new chaebol group of the Ming Empire.
"Cheers!" Gathering his courage, he shouted a toast and said nothing more. He also knew that at such a banquet, he was just a foil, the kind of foil that followed the decisions made by everyone, and the kind of foil that came to the end of a road. However, he understands that although it is dangerous, the end of this road is not necessarily to be broken, but it is also possible to become rich and prosperous, and become one of the most powerful people in this empire.
……
"Your Majesty, will this promotion of so many capitalists and chaebols in one go cause the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the ministers?" Chen Yue stood behind Zhu Mu and asked cautiously, "Do you want to slow down, arrange it two or three times, and be more appropriate?" ”
Zhu Mu put down the pen in his hand to approve the chapter, stretched his waist and yawned, before answering Chen Yue's question: "Where did I get the time to spend with this group of ministers?" In this battle of Liaodong, I owe a lot of debts to these people, if I don't pay it off, put up a trustworthy brand for everyone, and I will lose even more. ”
He looked at the book in his hand, which contained the official evaluation report submitted by the ministry. Obviously, the real report is a thick statistical record, which is naturally reviewed by the emperor's private secretariat, and what is submitted to His Majesty the emperor is just a copy of the "key content" that the emperor wants to see.
And this "key" content is actually the list of promoted personnel that the emperor asked Luo Haoran to submit to Chen Yu, the secretary of the ministry. Chen Yu was dialed by Bai Fei, so he also did a good job: he directly accepted the emperor's request in full, and arranged all the people on the list to the position that the emperor wanted.
This emperor, who has a lot of opportunities, stayed on the piece written by Chen Yu, and read it clearly word by word. Instead of rejoicing that his goal had been achieved, he filled his heart with doubts and reflections.
First of all, he was a little unsure why Chen Yu was so cooperative, he didn't know if this was a trick made by the official group to get away with it, or because there was no way to use a trick to retreat.
Secondly, from this recital, he saw that the court of the Ming Empire, that is, the bureaucracy was dealing with him as an emperor more and more methodically, which was not a good sign, and if he was tempered by the people below as the chief official, it was definitely a very dangerous signal.
Finally, he was also introspecting himself, and he was thinking about whether it was good or bad for him to let the power of the Ming Empire fall into the hands of the capital chaebol so quickly. He was weighing in his mind what the consequences of doing so would be, and these consequences were not under his control.
"First of all, to calm down, these officials are beginning to understand my temper, they let me take a step here, this is to let me make a return on the personnel arrangements in Liaodong, ah......" muttered his inner thoughts, Zhu Mu grabbed another note, this note was also submitted by the ministry, but it was Lang Zhong instead of Lang Shangshu.
The content of the chapter is also very clear, full of the names of officials at all levels recommended by the Ministry of Officials to serve in Liaodong. Not surprisingly, this list is exactly the same as the list that Zhu Mu gave to the officials, but it is all officials from professional backgrounds. Compared with Zhu Mu's arrogance, this piece from the Ministry of Officials is much more elegant, and the people in it are all civil servants who have been old secretaries or clerks with orthodox scientific examinations, and they have experienced in governance, and their political achievements are quite eye-catching.
Picking up the pen in front of him, Zhu Mu hesitated for a moment, but still crossed out the reply to the "redrafting" that he personally wrote, and then stopped his pen and thought carefully about how much of a tight spell he wanted to put on the capital consortiums in Liaodong, and how much favor he wanted to give to the bureaucracy.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor stopped his pen and thought there, Chen Yue also stood there like an old monk without a sound. This is now the biggest head of the intelligence agency of the Ming Empire, and he has a lot of information to deal with every day. But what he is great about is that he is almost an inch away from the emperor's side, but he has time to look through the intelligence documents like the sea and know them well.
I heard that Chen Yue returned to the Qianqing Palace at four o'clock in the afternoon every day, and only then went back to his office to deal with intelligence, find his subordinates to hold meetings and deploy tasks, and he would be busy until late at night before he could sleep for a few hours, and then the next day when the emperor went to court, he would get up and accompany him.
Legend has it that he has the ability to never forget, so he will keep countless information in mind, and every time the emperor asks, he can answer it fluently. It can be seen that being able to do Chen Yue's position also requires hard work and talent.
"Listen to the report of the people of Jinyiwei...... Wang Jianrui, Tan Jincheng, Yang Yuheng and others held a banquet in the Tianzi private room of the Wangfu Tiandi Hotel? Suddenly, Zhu Mu asked without a beginning or an end.
Chen Yue's eyelids raised, but he replied without hesitation: "Yes!" Today's noon...... So far, the minister has not received any report of their dismissal. The specific situation, if the emperor is not in a hurry, there will be a report tomorrow. If the emperor is in a hurry, the minister will go and check ......"
"No need!" Zhu Mu was obviously not interested in what the merchants said at the banquet, he waved his hand, and wrote his final thoughts on the commission of the personnel arrangements in Liaodong submitted by the Ministry of Officials: "Change two or three gentle, and everything must be the priority of state affairs!" ”
He had just helped the business-capitalist faction to secure a few seats at the Great Dynasty Conference, and when he turned around, he put a tight spell on the business-capitalist faction that had taken advantage of Liaodong in terms of the official arrangements in Liaodong. He found a delicate balance between the two, and also turned his hands into clouds and hands into rain, and grasped the node that was most beneficial to him.
"That's right, Chen Yue...... How did you arrange the 100 spies sent to the Korean Peninsula while the chaos was being struck? After Zhu Mu finished writing his comments, he closed the piece of music and threw it on the stack of "read" notes on the side of the desk, then turned his head sideways and asked.
Chen Yue hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty! This matter was arranged by the minister himself. A total of 150 people crossed the river, carrying 30 pieces of communications equipment, and at least half of them sent back the news of their safe arrival, and the intelligence network has been initially established. ”
"Yes! That's a good job. Zhu Mu was very satisfied with his intelligence network, at least for now, Chen Yue's work made him gradually become "deaf and clear". Compared with the Ming Empire's previous ignorance of Liaodong, the Ming Empire now knows at least a little about the Korean Peninsula.
"The Japanese army is increasing its forces to the Korean Peninsula, and the Japanese army has sent at least 50,000 additional troops in the direction of the Yalu River after the North Sea Division was ordered to lift the blockade." Chen Yue gathered up some of the information he had recently obtained and reported it to Zhu Mudao: "The Japanese army has changed its commander and transferred Mitsui Takanomiya back to the domestic ......"
"Oh? Even the manager has changed? It seems that I really want to confront our Ming Empire on the Korean Peninsula. A smile rose at the corner of Zhu Mu's mouth, nodded and said to himself: "The idea is good, but it's a pity that some Yelang is arrogant." I didn't clean you up this time because I wasn't prepared enough, and next time, do you think you're so lucky? ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the huge map of the world across his office, his eyes on the Korean Peninsula and Japan proper. I was thinking ambitiously: When I gather strength, the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese archipelago! All the territories lost by the Ming Empire, I will take them back! Like the Emperor of the Apocalypse once did, hold heaven and earth in his hands! In the hands of the Ming Empire!
