Chapter Four: Civil and Military Integrity (3)
Seeing that everyone had gathered in his official room, Li Xi was ready to simply explain the recent arrangements.
Whether it is because of the enthusiasm of the new official to take office, he finally has something to do, and it is a matter of great benefit to the country and himself, so he naturally wants to make things normal one day earlier.
Jianghuai transfer envoy Yamen Zhaojian, with the original post-Wuhou period of the secretary of the province used for a period of time of the official office, although later into the Zhongzong Dynasty this yamen was shelved and did not use again, but after all, it is an official property, so every month people come to clean up, and even regularly maintain and repair, so it is very clean. Waiting for Xuanzong's holy decree, the two prime ministers of Xiao Song and Han Xiu on the side of the political affairs hall directly approved this official office to the Jianghuai Transit Envoy Department to use as a yamen.
Moreover, the secretary province of the post-martial arts period was once in high esteem, and their own official offices wanted to use things, so all the buildings, tables, chairs, benches, etc., in this yamen, were made of good materials, although they had been idle for more than 20 years, they had been well preserved, and they could still be used directly without hindrance.
With this foundation, it is only necessary to sort out some urgent documents, files, etc., and prepare the paper, ink, pen, inkstone, and even stove and tea cup that should be prepared, and the hardware facilities of this yamen are actually complete.
And because it was Xuanzong himself who issued the order, so the top and bottom did not dare to slack off, so the yamen had just begun to be established, and had not yet begun to officially run errands.
Therefore, it can be said that although this yamen has only been established for three days, it is because of the very fast and powerful mobilization ability of the central political axe of the Tang Dynasty, and even the software already has a certain foundation at this time.
It's just that the bones and flesh are there, but they still lack some spiritual substance.
At this time, Li Xi looked at his official room and was very satisfied, so he beckoned the miscellaneous servants to move four stools, and then someone brought fragrant tea, so he took advantage of Li Xi's official room, and the Jianghuai transfer envoy Yamen held the first office meeting.
"On the first day of taking office, this official went to the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to visit Pei Gong, and talked with Pei Gong for a whole afternoon on the transfer of foreign grain into Beijing, which can be regarded as a preliminary constitution."
Holding the tea bowl in his hand, Li Xi slowly said word by word.
"Lord Wei Yue was originally the head of the Ministry of Water, and it should be clear that although for the total annual grain consumption of Chang'an, the share of foreign grain is not large, and in this small share, Jianghuai Cao rice still accounts for more than half......
When Li Xi said this, Wei Yue, who had been sitting upright, nodded and agreed with Li Xi's statement.
So Li Xi continued: "So, considering all kinds of circumstances, I think we can basically determine it for the first time when we sit together today. After that, all the energy of our Jianghuai transit envoy will be put in the direction of Jianghuai. Hehe, this is a little funny, we were originally called the Jianghuai transfer envoy, and naturally we should only be in charge of the Jianghuai Caoyun! ”
"But in fact, when His Majesty appointed this official as the deputy envoy of Jianghuai transshipment, he did not require full clarity about the origin of the grain, that is to say, in fact, although our yamen is named as the Jianghuai transshipment envoy, in fact, the rice and grain of Hedong Province and Henan Province can be transported by us, and our yamen is in charge of all the affairs of Caoyun, but the official thinks that everything is too wide, but it is not good, so in addition to Jianghuai Caomi, we will not interfere in other matters for the time being!"
In order to avoid the confusion of many affairs that may occur in the future, at this first office meeting, at the beginning, Li Xi directly set the tone with a few words and decided the main direction of his group of things in the future.
As soon as he said this, with Yang Shenyu's knowledge, he only nodded lightly, secretly praising in his heart, while Wei Yue and Chang Feng glanced at each other, and their approval of Li Xi's words was shown on their faces.
They have all been in the yamen for some years, although they may not have any extremely high knowledge, you let them stand up and say that it is better to specialize in miscellaneous studies, they are afraid that they can't say it, but they are better than being officials for a long time, they have stayed in the central yamen of the Tang Dynasty for so long, and have accumulated enough experience in doing things, so as soon as Li Xi said this, they vaguely felt that Li Xi was right.
It's just that they didn't expect in advance that Li Xi, a young man who was only eighteen years old, would be able to have such insight.
From the time when he finished introducing a few officials, Li Yifeng didn't say a word, just silently followed Li Xi all the way, carefully observing Yang Shenyu and a few others, at this time, when Li Xi finished speaking, he obviously found that this general direction must be in the general direction, Chang Feng, Wei Yue, and Yang Shenyu's faces were obviously down-to-earth and excited.
As soon as he saw this, he couldn't help but nod.
Regarding this issue, Li Xi also discussed with him for a long time last night, although Li Yifeng also thought that Li Xi's method was very right, but he did not recommend Li Xi to say it so deadly. For the time being, in order to grasp the key points, the affairs of other places can naturally be put aside for the first time, but don't make what you say too clearly, and wait until the matter of Jianghuai Caoyun is sorted out, as for Hedong Province, Henan Province and other places, it is not impossible to be involved in the affairs of the Jianghuai Transit Envoy Si Yamen.
You know, a wider coverage means more power!
But now, just looking at the reactions of these people after listening to Li Xi's words, you can know that in this regard, Li Xi is obviously a step ahead of him again, or in other words, as a traverser, as a child who is accustomed to the education of Great China in later generations, from the overall situation, Li Xi is close to being invincible in the world in this era.
For example, Li Yifeng and others may not be much worse than Li Xi's IQ, but his experience of living in a small place for many years as a small master has decided, and his vision and overall situation are at least seven or eight grades worse in front of Li Xi.
Thinking carefully about his discussion with Li Xi last night, and then carefully considering why after Li Xi finished saying this, everyone's reaction would be like this, and I also had to think about it, if Li Xi said this was not so certain, that is, if he had blurred the direction and scope of work of the Jianghuai Transit Envoy Division at the beginning, what would everyone's reaction be...... Just like that, Li Yifeng frowned and thought, and at the same time, he was also making progress unconsciously.
The experience of following Li Xi for half a year made him gradually struggle out of the mindset and handling of things in a small Jiupin official and a county master, and he began to understand his shortcomings, so with his intelligence and old spiciness, he naturally began to reflect immediately, and then, unconsciously, he began to observe and learn from Li Xi everywhere.
Maybe at this time, even he didn't know how fast he was improving, he could just feel it, and with the comparison of opinions one by one, he began to feel that his horizons seemed to be gradually broadening...... At this time, Li Xi set the main direction of attack, and things suddenly seemed neat.
So after a few small discussions, everyone agreed, Li Xi nodded, his eyes slid over everyone's faces one by one, and began to assign specific affairs - "Lord Changfeng, you have been in Taifu Temple for a long time, and you are familiar with all the warehouses in Chang'an, so please run this one, and ask all the accounts, inventory, warehouses, staffing, etc., to ask each warehouse in Chang'an to be checked within five days, and after five days, the official will go to each warehouse to inspect." ”
Chang Feng got up when he heard this, and respectfully agreed.
"Lord Wei Yue, since the Ministry of Water is your head and end, then you must be familiar with many local officials in the matter of transporting Cao, as well as river workers, etc., this matter will be handed over to you to do, and the orders will be sent to all localities, requiring all relevant local officials to rectify the transportation affairs, it is now September, October 1, this official will go out of Chang'an all the way to the east, inspect the rivers and shipping affairs along the way."
When Wei Yue heard this, he also got up and agreed.
These things are all part of their original responsibility, and the things that Li Xi explained are naturally very easy for them.
After saying this, Li Xi turned to look at Yang Shenyu.
For this old man who was nearly sixty years old, Li Xi didn't plan to let it go gently.
"Shen Yu Gong, Ling Zun has been in Taifu Temple for many years, and the government and the opposition have praised him, presumably Shen Yu Gong's family education is not usually comparable, this Jianghuai Cao Yun matter, can Shen Yu Gong take a preliminary charter proposal?"
Yang Shenyu knew that Li Xi was taking the school examination for himself, but since he had already promised his father to agree to go out, and he had followed his father's advice, he was really under Li Xi's command, so he was naturally unwilling to let Li Xi see himself clearly. So at this time, knowing that Li Xi was testing himself, he still nodded after thinking about it for a while.
In fact, if you think about it from another angle, wouldn't it also give yourself a chance to show your talents?
Therefore, at that moment, he stood up and bowed his hand respectfully: "My lord, but there is a sending, will you not obey your fate?" Although he is only a shallow learner, he is willing to give it a try and share his worries for adults! ”
Li Xi stroked his palms when he heard this, and said, "In this way, there will be a surplus of labor." ”
Then he turned to look at Li Yifeng, who was sitting first under his left, and said, "Lord Li, this yamen has just been established, and this official is running around, so he must not have time to stay in the yamen for too long, so these preparations for ordinary affairs will inevitably continue to trouble you." ”
Li Yifeng is the Jianghuai transfer envoy, and when the two praises are not officially signed, he is actually the first person under Li Xi, but he is responsible for the most inconspicuous things - cleaning up the courtyard, cleaning, preparing for the purchase of paper, ink, pen, inkstone, stove, tea cup and other miscellaneous utensils, it can be said that compared with the other three people who immediately started to work on specific affairs as soon as they arrived, this idea under Li Yifeng's name can be regarded as miscellaneous.
But at this time, Li Yifeng's face was calm, he got up happily, and respectfully agreed.
He knew that this was just the beginning of setting sail.
