Chapter 6: The Discussion (I)

In the following period, the Jianghuai transfer made the various preparatory affairs of the Si Yamen proceed in an orderly manner.

Li Yifeng took the lead, Yang Shenyu, Wei Yue and Chang Feng performed their duties, and in the past ten days, the entire Jianghuai transfer made the Yamen gradually full of hardware and personnel.

As long as there is money, the hardware is naturally not a problem, and after consultations with the Ministry of Households, Taifu Temple, Ministry of Industry and other yamen, under the urging of Emperor Xuanzong, although the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry are not very happy, there are still a group of experienced knife and pen officials who have been transferred to the Jianghuai transfer envoy Yamen.

It can be said that in the past ten days, the Jianghuai Transit Envoy has become more and more like a majestic official office day by day.

In the past ten days, in addition to burying the first case, Li Xi also deliberately spent two days to seriously inspect the warehouses of major countries, including Chang'an Taicang.

This kind of inspection, to a certain extent, is actually a face-saving project.

But for Li Xi, this face project has other significance.

First of all, since taking office, he has been silent almost from beginning to end except for visiting the bigwigs of various ministries and Yin Pei Yaoqing of Jingzhao Mansion on the first day, so this inspection can almost be regarded as an official appearance of his.

Secondly, Li Xi has not been in contact with warehousing before, after all, when he was the master bookkeeper in Jinyuan, he also had a certain understanding of the treasury of Jinyuan County, but he knew that the warehousing of a small county town was not the same concept at all as the largest central warehousing in the whole country, and even in the details such as storage methods and grade arrangement, there were huge differences, and he wanted to do Jianghuai transshipment, in the final analysis, this grain was to be transported to the major warehouses in Chang'an, so for this piece, Naturally, he needed to know and know more.

It is precisely because of these two days that Li Xi attaches great importance to his visit to Taicang, Chang'an, whether it is the itinerary in advance, or some speeches planned in advance, etc., they have taken great pains.

In the end, accompanied by Chang Feng and Li Yifeng, this inspection was close to perfection.

As Li Xi wants, many people's impression of him is that he is a warm, humble and energetic new official, and he seems very wise many times.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is also very empathetic.

No matter how strictly managed the warehouse, it is inevitable that a few rats will appear, even Taicang is no exception, but if this mouse happens to be seen by Shangguan who came to inspect, then this matter will not be very good.

When Li Xi went to inspect, he happened to encounter such a huge rat that was so bold that many Taicang officials sweated on their foreheads, but fortunately, Li Xi, the new prefect of Taifu Temple, was very understanding, although he saw it, but he swept by, only after the inspection, only a few people were present before he said "don't take an example".

In this way, Li Xi not only saved face for the officials in Taicang, and did not let them get off the stage on the spot, but at the same time maintained his majesty, which immediately made several officials in Taicang secretly praise in their hearts.

Of course, this is still secondary, the most important thing is that through such an incident, these old officials who have managed Taicang for more than ten years understand that although Li Xi is young, he is not the talented man who can only recite poetry as they imagined!

After inspecting Taicang, Li Xi once again buried himself in the case.

It wasn't until September 21, more than ten days had passed since the last assignment to Yang Shenyu, that Yang Shenyu finally knocked on the door of Li Xi's office in the afternoon.

"My lord, this is some of the transfer regulations drafted by the lower officials, please take a look at them."

A dozen thick pieces of paper, elegant small letters, obviously Yang Shenyu attaches great importance to this thing, and has put a lot of effort into it.

In fact, he knew in his heart that even among the several governors who had arrived at the moment, although he was the oldest, he was the thinnest in terms of official qualifications, and even, if he didn't have his father's prestige in the court for many years, he suddenly became the governor of Cao, for fear that it would cause criticism, and even so, in fact, in the contact with Wei Yue and Chang Feng, although they were very respectful on the surface, there were some things that Yang Shenyu could still taste in the slightest detail.

Therefore, instead of retreating from such a big problem that Li Xi threw to himself as soon as he took office, he rose to the occasion and strived to win the attention of his superiors and the acceptance of his colleagues.

Even in order to write such an all-encompassing Caoyun charter, he has been pulling the old man to help him come up with ideas to discuss with him these days, until yesterday, he has read this copy countless times, revised it countless times, and also showed it to his father again, confirming that it has been done perfectly, and then he officially took it out.

Unexpectedly, Li Xi only glanced at the copywriting twice, and then gently threw it on the bookcase.

Stretching out his hand and patting the copy, Li Xi smiled and invited Yang Shenyu to sit down, and then said: "I heard that the recent discussion in the streets and alleys outside about this official as the deputy envoy of Jianghuai transit seems to be very big!" ”

At first hearing this, Yang Shenyu was stunned at first, a little unable to twist his mind, and then his eyebrows jumped, and he said respectfully: "Lord Hui, this subordinate has not heard of it, and the subordinate is just bent on drafting this plan, as for other things, he doesn't care." ”

Li Xi nodded, for Yang Shenyu's caution, he knew what was going on, so he didn't ask anything anymore, just touched the copy on the bookcase and began to read it seriously.

Anyway, when Li Xi had just received the holy decree to take office, there was no movement from the government and the opposition, but after he took office for several days, there were suddenly a lot of discussions in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and they were all about Li Xi and the newly established Jianghuai Transit Mission.

In the midst of these discussions, there seemed to be great doubts about the need for the imperial court to set up a Jianghuai transit envoy, and at the same time, there was a great deal of doubt that His Majesty the Emperor had appointed a young man who was only eighteen years old to be the deputy envoy of Jianghuai and to be in charge of all affairs, which was obviously not good for Li Xi.

Of course, there is no wind and no waves, and if you want to say that these discussions arise out of thin air, no one will believe them.

The reason why Yang Shenyu suddenly asked such a sentence was that Li Xi just wanted to test his attitude towards these discussions, or rather, he wanted to know if the people who were hiding behind the scenes and conniving at these discussions had officially launched an attack on him.
