After Liu Renliang was sent to set up this navigation college, Shi Bufan can be said to be with Liu Renliang again, Shi Bufan worked hard for Liu Renliang in the Central Budget Committee to fight for the budget, and Liu Renliang did his own thing in the navigation college, so that he could get more budget. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Such a good opportunity, if you don't seize it, you will be a fool. As for Li Shimin's attitude, did Shi Bufan really care about Li Shimin's attitude? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually very powerless, subject to many aspects of power, often had to be balanced by all parties, and could not be as exclusive as the Ming and Qing dynasties. System. This does not mean that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was enlightened, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually forced, and if there was an opportunity to centralize power, they would not hesitate to centralize power. Centralization of power is a slow process, from the Qin Dynasty's prime minister leadership system, to the later three princes and nine kings, and finally the three provinces and six ministries, all of which are centralized by the king. However, it is still far from reaching its peak, so Shi Bufan is not worried about Li Shimin.

Courtiers and kings are not inherently an interest group, and interest groups are relative, not absolute. If Li Shimin wants to centralize power excessively, then whether it is a scholar or a cold family, they will stand together to resist the imperial power. Shi Bufan was not afraid of Li Shimin, because the hole cards in his hand were enough to ensure that Li Shimin would not dare to do anything to him. As for talking about the river and demolishing the bridge, Shi Bufan is not afraid of this, because Shi Bufan thinks that Li Shimin has at least 20 years to live, and after 20 years, he is enough to build a huge interest group to support him behind him, so if Li Shimin wants to demolish the bridge, it depends on whether he has the ability.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, I recently received a report from the gates of various gates, and all states and foreign countries have sent envoys to congratulate the emperor on the anniversary of his accession to the throne and congratulate me on the New Year of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, I see!" Shi Bufan replied.

This foreign country came to congratulate the monarch on his accession to the throne, in fact, he often waited until the first anniversary of his accession to the throne. There are multiple reasons for this, because in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and it often took several months to spread all kinds of news from China to their respective foreign countries. And when they come, it often takes months. If you are in a hurry for a few months, not only is it easy to be rude due to insufficient preparation, but there is even a very important question, that is, whether the new emperor can sit on the throne. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to rush around and "worship the wrong Bodhisattva" when the time comes?

Therefore, whether it is due to lack of time or being cautious, they will wait for the New Year to celebrate the first anniversary of their accession to the throne. In this way, not only is there more time to prepare, but it is also enough to prove that the emperor has sat firmly on the throne, and he is not afraid of any accidents, so he hurried to "worship the wrong Bodhisattva", affecting the real emperor's perception of them.

Therefore, on the New Year of the second year of Li Shimin's accession to the throne, all countries will send envoys together, not only to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne, but also to congratulate the arrival of the New Year.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, this is an order from Shangshu Province, I will read it out now!" A director of Shangshu Province Zuo Cheng came over and said.

Shi Bufan was unexpected, this person would actually announce the order of Shangshu Province, so what order could he have for himself? You must know that in fact, the official orders of Shangshu Province are very important, and their status is like the ****** orders of later generations. Such high-level orders are not issued arbitrarily, and such high-level orders will only be issued for relatively important matters and relatively important personnel appointments and dismissals. Daily work can be done directly with official documents, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. And this is specifically an order for himself, and it is most likely to appoint and remove his own position.

"Where do you go next, is it a promotion or a flat transfer?" Shi Bufan was a little worried in his heart.

I have been in the position of the goalkeeper for a few days, about half a year, and I don't know where to go when I leave the position this time. However, if you get so much money back, there is no reason to be demoted, so it is either a promotion or a flat transfer. And the flat adjustment is often also going to the important department.

"After the two Shangshu servants jointly played the emperor, the emperor approved, and now he is dismissed from the post of Shi Bufan's doorman, and he is moved to the right to be the main guest of the Ministry of Rites. In addition, he will continue to serve as the chairman of the budget committee. ”

"In the middle of the host?" Shi Bufan thought about the responsibilities of this department.

Shi Bufan didn't expect that he would be promoted to the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, but in fact, the distance was not far, and the office area was still in the palace. However, the responsibilities changed completely, and he was transferred from an official in charge of "customs" to a guest and guest. The host and guest are a subordinate department of the Ministry of Rites, and the host and guest are the leaders of the host and guest department, and the main and guest department is responsible for the affairs of foreign exchanges in Fanbang, and formulates policies and decrees for foreign exchanges in Fanbang.

The grade in the main guest is on the fifth grade, which is an out-and-out promotion. In ancient times, the Host and Guest Division and the Honglu Temple were actually in charge of foreign affairs, but there was a difference between the two. This is the same as the relationship between the Sixth Ministry and Jiuqing, the Sixth Department is mainly responsible for government decrees, but it rarely interferes in the specific implementation, and is only responsible for the general direction. However, the specific implementation is often the responsibility of the five supervisors of Jiuqing, and the five supervisors of Jiuqing are responsible. The sixth ministry is the government order department, and the nine secretaries and five supervisors are the affairs department.

"Could it be related to the fact that envoys from various countries have come to congratulate recently?" Shi Bufan guesses.

The principal was only responsible for passing on the orders, not for anything else, so after passing the orders, it had nothing to do with him, and he left quickly.

However, at that time, Bufan received this order, and the entire criminal department was fried.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, oh no, it should be called Shi Cao Chang. This is the real justifiable Cao Chang, who has really become Langzhong, and is qualified to be officially called Cao Chang! Someone immediately congratulated him.

Shi Bufan officially became Lang Zhong of a department under the Sixth Ministry this time, and it can be said that he is truly qualified to publicly call Cao Chang. In the Langzhong in the Six Divisions and Twenty-Four Divisions, the waiters generally call each other "Cao Chang" in public, which is a privilege of the Langzhong waiters. In many times in the Tang Dynasty, officials at a certain level rarely directly called each other's official titles, for example, Langzhong of the six departments and twenty-four divisions could openly call each other Cao Chang. The scholars and the people of the Chinese scholars call each other "Pavilion Lao", and they call the local state thorn history, and generally do not officially call it the thorn history, but call it "envoy".

However, about the six members of the foreign lang, although sometimes they are called Cao Chang, this is actually just a bad habit of officialdom. It is the same reason as removing the word "vice" when addressing in later generations, this is not a title that can be allowed in public, it is okay in private, but it is not possible to be public. Only when he reaches the level of Langzhong Shilang can he be called Cao Chang.

"Shi Caochang, this time you have officially been promoted to the fifth grade, and it will be really different in the future! If you have more than five grades, you are the real official! Below the fifth grade, hey! ”

"Yes! Shi Cao Chang is so young that he will be five grades, and he will not be able to produce four or three grades in the future, and he will become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"In the future, I will ask Shi Chang Cao to help me a lot, we have served together in the Criminal Department!"

Shi Bufan didn't take this kind of "New Year's talk" seriously, and he was still thinking that this time he had to do two jobs, not only in charge of foreign affairs, but also in charge of the responsibilities of the budget committee. This time, Li Shimin made a special statement that he would not cancel the dispatch of the chairman of the budget committee, which meant that he would still hold the post of chairman of the budget committee in the future. In this way, the financial power is still in his own hands, but he must get money. At present, the person who can manage money and make money in Datang is Shi Bufan, and no one else can not only make money like Shi Bufan, but also bring benefits to the people without harming the people.

When the order was issued, Shi Bufan quickly handed over to the person who replaced him, and hurried to the host and guest department to take office. In fact, the distance is not far, but it is just from this house of the palace to another house to work, and the department of this era is actually still very small, and this time it is not too far away.

Shi Bufan came to the Ministry of Rites and paid a preliminary visit to Li Xiaogong. However, when Li Xiaogong saw Shi Bufan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, because he had a group fight in the Taiji Hall before, and Li Xiaogong was not less blackfooted. And the reason for the group fight in the Taiji Hall this time is actually to compete for the money that Shi Bufan got from, if it weren't for this money, things wouldn't have gone so badly.

Now that Shi Bufan has come to work in the Ministry of Rites, he doesn't know what to come up with. Li Xiaogong couldn't say anything, because Shi Bufan's appointment was appointed by the top, not by himself. The four or five officials were all reported by the prime minister and approved by the emperor, and he couldn't decide anything about it. As for whether Shi Bufan will make something, Li Xiaogong is not worried, anyway, it is the emperor who has a headache, and he is not qualified to have a headache.

Li Xiaogong finished handling the official business and accepted it, and Shi Bufan went directly to the host and guest department to take office.

"I've seen Shi Chang!" Dozens of officials, large and small, under the main and guest divisions, said together.

"Okay, it's business as usual, I just want to know what to do about the reception of guests now, do you have any preparations?" Shi Bufan asked.

The subordinate scribe took the initiative to say: "Chief Shi Cao, we are ready at present, and we have prepared all kinds of things. This kind of thing, we have been prepared for a long time, and it is not complicated. ”

This is actually what the scribe said, and he has already made a lot of preparations to meet this routine to the outside world. It's like the foreign affairs department in the future to welcome foreign leaders, in fact, it is "all routines"! Everyone is familiar with this kind of routine, and there is no need to do anything specially, because a few foreigners were not accepted that year, and everyone is familiar with what kind of "routine", everything is just the same.

"Well, I'll tell you a few words. With regard to foreign affairs, you should also understand two sentences. Big things about, little things be careful! Shi Bufan said.

"Big things, little things careful?" This made everyone a little confused.

Shi Bufan took the initiative to explain: "Actually, this is very simple, you should know that there are no eternal friends and enemies between countries, only eternal interests. Today we can make alliances with others, and tomorrow we may be at odds. This is not a matter of personal feelings, but of our national interests. ”

"Because the interests of the country and the nation have been determined, the relationship between the two sides will certainly not be able to change significantly. In international exchanges, the general direction of the strategy cannot be changed, so we don't have to bother so much to deal with those big things, because whether we do well or not, the other side will also make the same choice, and we don't have to prepare for this big thing. ”

"But be careful about the little things. That is to say, we should prepare more in the details of our work, pay more attention to the national and ethnic habits of those foreign guests, and strive to take the best care of their national customs and various living habits. It is necessary to pay attention to all kinds of details in daily life, and once there is a major mistake, it will certainly not affect the strategic relationship between the two countries. However, in terms of personal perception, it is obvious that there will be a lot of influence. This will create a gap between the two sides, although the strategic direction will not be affected, but it will bury hidden dangers in the specific implementation of the cooperation process in the future, which may cause increased friction between the two sides when cooperating, so that we will lose a lot out of thin air. ”

"The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, and only if we do the details well, that is really good. As for the strategic direction, the leader of any country is not a fool, and we don't need to do more, what we need to do is to do the details well. ”

The officials of the main and guest divisions suddenly realized one by one, and this was an aspect that they had not thought of in the past. The teacher's words are simply absolute, and he directly summed up this work on foreign affairs. In the past, they only focused on big things, but in fact, these big things, about the strategic direction, in fact, the leaders of all countries will make judgments, and they are all for the sake of national interests. The strategic relationship between the countries will not be affected by daily reception or any special reasons, and the relationship between the two countries depends on interests.

As long as you understand the basic interests of your own country, you don't have to think hard about those strategies, because as long as you understand your own strategic interests, then in fact, diplomatic strategies can be easily formulated, and no country will easily violate their own strategic interests.

On the contrary, we should be careful about the details, if we do not do well in the details, then the result will be more troublesome things, which will lay a very significant hidden danger for the specific implementation of the alliance between the countries in the future.

Therefore, in the case that the strategic interests of each country and the corresponding guiding ideology will not be easily changed, the foreign policy of the respective countries will not be easily changed, and there is no need to worry too much about this. On the contrary, in terms of those details, it is necessary not to bury hidden dangers of friction when the alliance is implemented in the future.
