Chapter 214: Doorman Wailang

Fang Xuanling's face was not very good, this time Shi Bufan successfully made this dozen county orders in the Gyeonggi area directly promoted to the state assassin history, which was regarded as the beginning of a county order directly promoted to the state assassin history, and tore apart a little bit of the blockage of the promotion road of this scholar clan. Although Fang Xuanling hurriedly "reinforced" in the back, he proposed that it must be the county order of Jing County, and he must obtain a superior assessment before he can be directly promoted to the state assassin history, otherwise he is not qualified to be directly promoted to the state assassin history.www.biquge.info And Li Shimin also agreed, he didn't want to fall out directly with the Shi clan. So Li Shimin chose to agree. However, no matter whether it is extraordinary, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling also probably understand a truth, many times once there is a precedent, then later examples will definitely emerge. This kind of precedent is actually a gap in the thick dam, and once the dam has no gap, it is okay, but once there is a gap, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once a dam has a gap, it is not impossible for the dam to fail.

The destruction of the embankment in the anthill does not necessarily mean that all the ants will corrode the entire embankment, but only a gap is made, and the huge pressure of the flood is enough to tear the entire dam with the help of this gap. At present, this Hanmen wants to rise, but it is impossible to find the temple gate with a pig's head, and the scholars set up obstacles to the Hanmen through various means, making it difficult for the Hanmen to get promoted. However, now a tiny gap has been torn open by Shi Bufan, but since a gap has been torn up, it is not impossible to start more gaps. So Fang Xuanling's face was a little worried.

As for Li Shimin, looking at Fang Xuanling's worried face, he felt as if he had eaten a popsicle on a hot day. Because this finally tore open the first gap in the Shi clan, allowing the Hanmen to open up another path to promotion. This is beneficial to Li Shimin, and he naturally agrees. In the final analysis, this emperor and the scholar clan are using each other, but they are also tearing each other down.

"Okay, now that those county magistrate positions have been arranged, it's time to arrange your positions next. Shi Bufan, you have a lot of credit this time, what position do you want? If the court is below the sixth grade, you can choose it yourself. Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin was very generous this time, and directly asked Shi Bufan to choose a position below the sixth grade, and he could choose whatever he wanted. However, Shi Bufan knows very well that once he dares to choose at will, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because you really take the leader's kind words seriously, then you are really going to be unlucky. As a subordinate, you must know that the leader is kind to you, otherwise you may be troublesome.

"Your Majesty, I am a brick of the Tang Dynasty, where do you need to move!" Shi Bufan hurriedly said.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, originally Shi Bufan was the biggest credit this time, and that series of policies were all thought up by Shi Bufan. Those who followed the example were promoted, and there was no reason why the pioneers of the extraordinary were not promoted better. Of course, it will definitely not work to be directly promoted to the state thorn history, because Shi Bufan is just an eight-grade product, if it is directly promoted to the state thorn history, then I am afraid that many people will not accept it next. In particular, this kind of official promotion is often not so easy. Especially when there is no one behind Shi Bufan, there is no huge family behind him, so it is very difficult to improve in this way. can only be promoted step by step, if you have to be forcibly promoted, then you can only go to those positions that have no real power, this is not what Shi Bufan wants, let alone what Li Shimin wants.

"Recently, the Criminal Department has lacked a doorman Wailang, you can take over!" Li Shimin said.

"Doorman Wailang?" Shi Bufan immediately understood what this meant.

This doorman seems to belong to the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department is responsible for many projects. In fact, the Criminal Department not only manages the prison, but also manages many aspects. For example, the Criminal Department has three internal departments, namely, the Metropolitan Official, the Metropolitan Division, and the Divisional Division, among which the Imperial Governor is responsible for managing the affairs of the government's slaves and slaves, that is, managing the official slaves and maids. In fact, there were still remnants of the slavery system in the Tang Dynasty, of course, at most, the slaves had relatively perfect human rights, even if the master wanted to execute the slaves, it was not so easy, and the consent of the government was required. Of course, for those powerful people, the execution of slaves and maids is just a matter of saying a word, because they have a way to settle those official mansions.

However, they also have a layer of protection, although this layer of protection is as thin as paper, but it is better to have protection than no protection. What's more, the thinking of this era has also improved a lot, and there are a lot fewer things to kill slaves casually, especially at this time when human resources are very scarce, of course, it is impossible to waste human resources casually, so the execution of slaves and maids is much less than that of the slavery era. Whether it is the need for human resources or human progress, it is a big progress.

As for the ministry, he is responsible for reviewing the financial expenditures of those departments, to see if other departments have wasted money, food and materials, and even whether the government's levy and conscription is reasonable. In ancient times, this "Audit Office" belonged to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to manage. As for the last gate, the gate is responsible for the important city gate passes in the country, and all the city gates in the country are also in charge of the four gates. This gate was responsible for collecting commercial taxes at the gates, as well as various tolls, etc., and checking for contraband and other things.

This department is like the customs of later generations, of course, this is just a "land customs" on land, but the duties are similar to that customs. As for the twenty-four divisions under the six departments, there are a total of a number of positions such as Langzhong, Wailang, and Director. These are still official positions that enter the stream, and there are still many positions that do not enter the stream. As for the doorman Wailang, his status is actually equivalent to that of the deputy director of the General Administration of Customs in later generations, and it is also a very important position. Shi Bufan is about to take up the post of deputy director of the General Administration of Customs, with a very high level and good real power.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why I am asked to go to this doorman wailang?" Shi Bufan asked.

Li Shimin said: "I have just received a message from the Turks that their first batch of cheese and war horses have begun to be prepared. They plan to come to our Datang to trade, in exchange for my Datang's grain and various materials. At present, there is a lot of grain in the Chang'an area of my Tang Dynasty, whether it is hesitating you to farm here to increase production, or the treasury left by the former Sui, etc., there is also a lot of grain. And the Turks came over to trade very quickly, so I guess you can solve these things. You promised me that you would cut the flesh from the Turks, and then let them pay for my own soldiers. So, that's what you're going to do this time around. ”

Shi Bufan understood that these Turks seemed to be a batch of cheese that came to trade in a centralized manner, and they wanted to solve these things and then they could exchange them for food and various materials from the Tang Dynasty. This is the time when they want to come and trade, and this is the opportunity to exploit them well. Shi Bufan promised Li Shimin that he would use various economic means to exploit this Turkic people, and when the time came, they would be trading on the surface, but Shi Bufan could exploit them through the gold and silver exchange rate, and even various means, so that they would probably face being exploited by Shi Bufan using various economic means, and finally stupidly spit out the wealth they earned again. They may have paid many times the material value, and then they lost so much!

For the ancients, playing finance with time is not extraordinary, and they can be played to death. Of course, Shi Bufan only dares to play with foreigners, and if he plays in China, he will definitely lose his head. This kind of financial speculation on exchange rates, once it affects the country, it will be beheaded, because there was no reasonable law in ancient times, and in ancient times, it was a feudal era in which power was greater than law, and law was actually just a means to maintain the right to rule. Therefore, of course he did not dare to do this, because he deeply knew that the so-called "rule of law" in ancient times was completely different from the concept of later generations, and naturally it would not be messed up.

"Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to me, I have a way for these Turks. In this way, we can make them vomit out all the food they have eaten, so that we will have enough money and food to use as a means of the Northern Expedition in the future. At that time, the Turks were using their wealth to raise our troops and go on expeditions! Shi Bufan replied.

"Okay, I will appoint you as the Outer Commander of the Doorman immediately, and I will give you the opportunity to request assistance from any department in Chang'an if necessary. Even, even if you want to ask me for help, you can come to me at any time. You can come to me no matter what time it is. Also, this is a fish talisman that can freely enter and exit the harem, and with this fish talisman you can enter and exit the harem freely. Li Shimin took a fish talisman and gave it to Shi Bufan and said.

And other officials are also envious, because this fish talisman that can enter and exit the harem freely represents Li Shimin's trust! Although the palace ban system in the Tang Dynasty was not so strict, it was not just a matter of entering and exiting casually. Li Shimin gave this fish talisman to Shi Bufan, on the one hand, he really attaches importance to Shi Bufan, and on the other hand, he also trusts Shi Bufan.

It is conceivable that Li Shimin really took great pains to exploit the Turks this time. Especially when Bufan can use the wealth of the Turks to raise troops for himself, and even the Northern Expedition to the Turks, he is really a good hand at making money. Other ministers also felt that why didn't they learn financial management back then, so that they might be able to be valued by the emperor. The minister who knows how to manage money is very important to Li Shimin, an emperor who has great ambitions to become an emperor and is very happy. If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a courtier like Shi Bufan who could manage money, then Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not have made the three expeditions to Goguryeo and the construction of the Grand Canal so miserable. knows how to manage money, and for an emperor who wants to make achievements, he is a talent that cannot be suppressed.

Don't think that the emperor doesn't need money to do things, he is building a lot of construction and fighting, which one is not spent like flowing water? At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty obtained wealth by exploiting the people, and finally caused the world to be in flames, and the Sui Dynasty was also destroyed. However, Shi Bufan can exploit foreigners, which is the difference. It's better to take advantage of foreigners than to exploit your own people! Exploiting foreigners is definitely a hero, and exploiting one's own people is to be scolded to death.

So this Li Shimin is really unable to leave Shi Bufan. For Li Shimin, anyone can be missing, and even he can be without Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, because without Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, in fact, it will have an impact on his future plans, but it is not absolute. But if there is less time, it will not work without money!

"Li Shimin can't do without me, so I will naturally be able to bargain with him in the future." Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan once heard a human resources expert say in later generations that when the human resources expert gave a lesson to those employees, he once mentioned a famous sentence.

When you want to propose a salary increase, as an employee, you should first consider whether the company can leave you, how much loss you can bring to the company if you leave, and how much benefit you can bring to the company. Every employee can consider these three questions when they propose a salary increase, and if they can think about it clearly, they will naturally have the courage to propose a salary increase. Those who dare not ask the boss for a salary increase are often the ones that the company can leave you, and you will not lose much if you leave the company, and you will not be able to bring more benefits to the company. If the company can't do without you, you will have a huge loss if you leave the company, or you can bring huge benefits to the company, then you can justifiably propose a salary increase, and the boss has to agree.

If you don't think through these three questions, and you rush to propose a salary increase before you calculate clearly, the boss will definitely fire you.

Shi Bufan knew that Li Shimin couldn't do without him, and at that time, Bufan could take the opportunity to bargain, so that he could get more benefits. Anyway, in Shi Bufan's eyes, there is not much difference between this emperor Li Shimin and those bosses in later generations, anyway, he doesn't have any sacred feelings for the monarch in his heart, the king is just a person, at most he is just a boss, and there is no need to grovel because the other party is the boss, as if he has no dignity. Anyway, since Li Shimin can't do without himself, it would be a fool not to take the opportunity to talk about the conditions and ask for more benefits!

"The minister ordered, I will definitely get more military funds before the future emperor goes on a northern expedition to the Turks. When the time comes, try not to let the emperor increase any additional tax burden, and without having to exploit the people additionally, the Turks can be completely solved. Shi Bufan said. (To be continued.) )
