According to the official position system of Shangshu Province in the Tang Dynasty, Shangshu Province was subordinate to six departments, and each of the six departments also had four second-level departments, and the six departments added up to twenty-four second-level departments, which were called twenty-four divisions. These secondary departments are based on the division of labor of each Cao since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Originally, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it evolved into more than 20 Cao, and later established six departments, each leading more than 20 Cao. And those Cao are equivalent to the current second-level departments, and these second-level departments are probably equivalent to the department-level cadres of later generations.

The subordinate departments of the Ministry of War have four secondary departments: the Ministry of War, the Department of Staff, the Department of Driving, and the Department of Treasury, and the second-level department, which is also called the "Department of War", is responsible for the selection and recommendation of officers, which is equivalent to the general cadre department of later generations. The staff is responsible for managing map intelligence, as well as the garrison of the city gods in various places, and various troop deployment and dispatch plans, which is probably equivalent to a part of the general staff in later generations. The driving department was responsible for managing carriages and horses, military transportation, which was equivalent to part of the functions of the General Logistics Department in later generations. As for the Treasury Department that Chen Fei is about to go to, it is equivalent to part of the functions of the General Armament Department.

In ancient times, there were not so many affairs of various government offices, and the division was not so detailed, so the four second-level departments under the military department were enough to manage the military of the entire country. And the leaders of these four second-level departments have a first-in-command leader, a second-in-command outsider, and some subordinates are some principals, and some scribes. Chen Fei didn't expect that he would be able to serve as Langzhong, that is, the leader of the treasury department. Then Chen Fei is equivalent to being responsible for the management of the national military equipment arsenal, and his power is not small.

What's more important is that Chen Fei has become a fifth-grade official, which is equivalent to passing a ceiling. The Tang Dynasty was an official, and there were three very huge ceilings. From not entering the stream to entering the stream, it is a ceiling, but Chen Fei has already passed the imperial examination. And the next ceiling is from the sixth grade to the fifth grade, this is a huge ceiling, and most of them can't get through. And Chen Fei is now in the past, and he has been promoted to the fifth grade. The five officials had to be approved by the emperor himself, so Chen Fei could now claim to be one of the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty. However, this happiness came too suddenly.

"The reason why you have been able to achieve such a high level of promotion is actually because you have been pressed in the past. In the past, when you were in Shuoxian, you could improve a lot, because you had a new way to be an official for our entire Datang. That's a side hustle. This is the way officials who have influenced the whole country, and it should be rewarded. However, you were not able to get promoted, and you were sent to Bozhou to serve as a recorder and join the army. And then you supported Cui Fu of the Cui family to the position of the head of the Cui family for my Datang, this is also a very good thing, my Datang will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits, and this can also be greatly improved. As for the end, you recommended Ma Zhou, the emperor was very satisfied with Ma Zhou, and you can be regarded as having a recommendation. That's why you've been able to get so much promotion, and that's what makes up for the lack of promotion that you haven't received before. Ma Zhou has now been appointed by the emperor to supervise the imperial history, taking over the position of Qin Da, who had just been expelled. Du Ruhui explained.

Only then did Chen Fei know that he had been compensated, and his credit could have already reached the fifth grade. But it's just that the first two years were suppressed, and now the unified compensation is given to myself. And the recommendation of Ma Zhou also has part of the credit, so there is a recommendation of the merit. As for Ma Zhou's ability to become the superintendent of the imperial history, this made Chen Fei a little jealous. After all, the starting point of this horse week is even higher than his own. Chen Fei's starting point was that the left guard of the guard Cao Cao joined the army, although the grades were almost the same, but the Cao Cao joined the army was far less than a supervising imperial history. The people who supervised the imperial history were all trained by the emperor as the prime minister. It's the emperor's cronies. Ma Zhou was able to get this, which is very good. At least in the original history, Ma Zhou also started as a superintendent of the imperial history, and now he has become a superintendent of the imperial history several years in advance, maybe the future will be better.

"Okay, regarding your appointment, the emperor has approved it, and you can go to the military department at any time to take office. But now your responsibilities are not ordinary, the Treasury Department is in charge of the national arsenal, the production and manufacture of weapons, and the management of various military craftsmen, and the responsibilities are heavy. Especially after a while, I Datang needs a lot of weapons, you are ready to organize everyone to produce a large number of weapons. Chen Fei thought.

"A lot of weapons? Is there going to be a war? Chen Fei suddenly thought.

As soon as Chen Fei finished thinking about this, he suddenly realized that he muttered in his heart: "If I am not mistaken, according to the original history, next year, that is, the third year of Zhenguan, and the end of the third year of Zhenguan, Datang organized a confrontation with the east. Turkic wars. This war dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and wiped out the Turks at one time. Could it be that in the near future, a large number of weapons will be produced for the sake of this war? ”

Chen Fei had to guess, because the Northern Expedition to the Turks began at the end of the third year of Zhenguan's history, and more than 100,000 soldiers were dispatched to this war. The ancients said that the three armies went first before moving grain and grass, and at the same time, ordnance and weapons were also very important, so there was nothing impossible to produce in large quantities a year in advance. Especially in ancient times, the production capacity was too low, and it was often necessary to prepare for a large-scale war, which required a year or two, or even longer. So Chen Fei guessed that he was afraid that he would be busy next, after all, a large-scale war requires a lot of ordnance, and ordinary people can't solve it at all!

However, Chen Fei naturally would not take the initiative to ask Du Ruhui stupidly, Du Ruhui could know that a war would break out against the Turks next year, and that was because his level was high enough. And he is a five-grade official, and he shouldn't know about this kind of high-level thing. If Chen Fei knew about it and said it, I am afraid it would not be good for him. Anyway, when people should let you know, they will inevitably let you know, if you take the initiative to ask, then you are two hundred and five brainless. Therefore, Chen Fei can only swallow the words in his stomach, and will never take the initiative to say it. Anyway, he knew that Du Ruhui and they would tell themselves sooner or later, because he, the Kubu Langzhong, was responsible for the production and preservation of weapons, and the war was inseparable from him, so they would say it sooner or later.

"Du Xiang, I'm going to take office, right?" Chen Fei asked.

"Well, there you go! This time, you must do a good job in the production and storage of ordnance, if it is best to produce as many ordnance as possible, this is related to the future of my Datang! Du Ruhui said.

"I understand!" Chen Fei also replied. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
