Lin Anfei heard Xu Yanqing say that Li Ganzhou, the co-organizer of the Organization Department, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Although there are nine ministries in the newly established cabinet of the Chinese Empire, the power of the ministers and co-ministers in these nine ministries is naturally different according to the weight of their powers and responsibilities.

Among them, the Ministry of Finance, which is in charge of financial power, is naturally the top priority, because at present, when the Chinese Empire was established, many affairs are not on the right track, and the entire government is serving the military, so the Ministry of Finance, which collects taxes and manages money, is naturally the top priority among the cabinet ministries. The Organization Ministry, which is in charge of personnel power, cannot be ignored, after all, personnel power is one of the most important powers at all times, so these two ministries are the most powerful departments in the cabinet.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are less important, and the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are even more important.

Since this Li Ganzhou is the co-organizer of the Organization Department, this has been replaced by the title in the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, who belongs to the most powerful high-ranking officials in the ministry, such a high-ranking official has never seen it himself, which is a little unreasonable!

"What is the origin of this Li Ganzhou? Why haven't I seen it before? Anyway, being idle during the waiting time was idle, Lin Anfei simply gossiped with Xu Yanqing.

However, Xu Yanqing also shook his head: "I don't know much, I only saw it once during the enthronement ceremony, and I didn't have much contact!" ”

It is normal for Lin Anfei and Xu Yanqing not to know Li Ganzhou well, the Chinese Empire has always been military-oriented, and the real core bosses are basically military generals, even the power of Premier Bi Yutong is not Xu Yanqing, Lin Anfei and Shi Qingxuan.

You must know that most of the titles granted by the Chinese Empire are for general leaders, especially the ten counts who can be reduced to hereditary ranks, and except for Bi Yutong, the other nine are all generals.

Bi Yutong, the prime minister of the cabinet, and the number one leader of the civil officials are just a viscount, and the status of the other civil officials is naturally lower, and the status of these civil officials and senior military generals is not at the same level, so this naturally cannot intersect.

Moreover, Lin Zhe still attaches great importance to the civil and military defense under his command, and you can see from the fact that there is no such organization as the War Department and the Navy Department in the cabinet, Lin Zhe is very clear about the division between civil and military affairs, and the generals of this military usually have few opportunities to deal with cabinet officials.

In addition, after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, after the establishment of the nine major departments of the cabinet, the officials have all newly risen in the past month or two, and it is normal for Lin Anfei to not admit everything.

But since they talked about gossip, Xu Yanqing also continued: "But I heard that this Li Ganzhou used to be a member of the Lin family's firm!" ”

"Oh, no wonder!"

At this time, Li Ganzhou in the pavilion inside naturally didn't know that the two generals Xu Yanqing and Lin Anfei outside were bored, and chatted about their gossip, and at this time he was respectfully reporting to Lin Zhe on the latest official appointment.

"The Taiping Mansion is newly included in the imperial territory, and the candidates for the new prefect have been selected by our Organization Department for the primary selection of six people, who needs to be used by His Majesty!"

"Oh, tell me all!"

Li Ganzhou immediately said: "At present, the person who can be qualified for the post is Qi Xuanbian, the governor of Taicang Prefecture, who has been appointing the post of Taicang Governor since last year after taking the initiative to raise the flag and allegiance to the empire, and has been very effective in stabilizing the people's livelihood and encouraging agriculture, and this person is qualified and capable of being competent for any prefect!" ”

"There is also Songjiang Mansion and Shitong ......"

Li Ganzhou continued, as the co-director of the Organization Department, he almost memorized the resumes of middle and high-ranking officials in the Chinese Empire today, and casually said that five or six people with sufficient qualifications and abilities were barely passable.

However, after Lin Zhe listened to it, he said, "Is there anything else?" ”

When Li Ganzhou heard this, he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, could it be that he couldn't be satisfied with the six people mentioned above? If these six people are not satisfied, Li Ganzhou can't think of any other good candidates.

Limited by the influence of the shallow foundation of the Chinese Empire, its civil system, especially the middle and senior officials with experience in the ruling party, are only the former Qing Toucheng officials, the former business zone and other officials, the total number is actually quite limited, and to select from these people with training value to continue to promote and appoint, this is not afraid of the difficulty, this can pick out six people has already made the Organization Department go through the resumes of all the officials, and now go to find other people, where can be found!

Lin Zhe looked at this Li Ganzhou's sad face, and sighed in his heart, this Li Ganzhou's mind and vision are still a little narrower, and he transferred him to the Organization Department as a co-organizer, I'm afraid it's a little reluctant.

This Li Ganzhou used to be one of the big shopkeepers of the Lin family's firm, and with the increasing military and political power under Lin Zhe, there is a great need for talents, especially those who can guarantee loyalty, so he poached his own business actions from time to time, and transferred some stewards and shopkeepers to help him.

This Li Ganzhou was first approached by Lin Zhe, first to serve in the general affairs office of the business district, and then to a number of departments, which can be regarded as accumulating a lot of experience, and he is one of the few dozen people in Lin Zhe's shogunate with multi-department management experience.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Organization Department, responsible for the personnel power of the civil system, he was promoted by Lin Zhe to serve as the co-director of the Organization Department.

But when Lin Zhe looked at this Li Ganzhou, he felt that this person's talent was really limited, his vision was too narrow, and his political consciousness was slightly worse.

As the latest territory of the Chinese Empire, Taiping Mansion can be regarded as the only new area controlled by the Chinese Army after its westward expansion, and any policy implemented in this place will have a great impact on the follow-up policies, especially the candidates for the prefect of Taiping Mansion must be cautious and cautious, and many aspects must be taken into account, not that the person can be transferred to the prefect if he is talented.

Before the Chinese army advanced westward, although the Chinese Empire had not completely controlled Zhenjiang and Jiangning, in fact, the Chinese Empire at that time had already controlled most of the above two prefectures, leaving only the two isolated cities of Zhenjiang and Tianjing occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so before the Chinese army advanced westward.

The prefects of these two prefectures and the important county orders are already there, and even the Taoist of Changzhen Ningdao already has them, so after the Chinese army marches westward, there is no need to make large-scale changes to these two prefectures.

However, the Taiping Mansion was different, this was the first prefecture to actually control after the Chinese army advanced westward, and a series of administrative measures for this newly built prefecture would affect the administration of the Chinese Empire in the newly occupied areas in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious, and according to Lin Zhe's plan, as long as the local officials are willing to surrender to the occupied areas that have been fought in the future, then try to continue to use these former Qing officials. Although there are many Chinese and there are more people who want to be officials, not everyone can be this official, and if you want to stabilize the system in times of war, then the requirements for the chief officials of local governments are much higher.

Although the Manchu court was not in various ways, although there were many Manchu officials who were corrupt, if these Manchu officials could be recovered for their own use, then Lin Zhe would not have to have a headache and no one was available.

After all, he can't conjure tens of thousands of middle and high-ranking officials all at once!

At the same time, the reuse of Toucheng officials will bring another subsidiary effect, that is, let other Qing court officials see that the Chinese Empire and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are different, as long as you are willing to surrender to Cheng, not only is there no danger to your life, but also I, Lin Zhe, will definitely not be stingy with high-ranking officials.

Therefore, Lin Zhe wants to erect a big signboard in Taiping Mansion, and he intends to use the former Qing Toucheng official as the Taiping Prefect!

It's just that this Li Ganzhou doesn't seem to be aware of this kind of political need, and when he recommends candidates for the new prefect of Taiping Prefecture, he gives priority to selecting officials from the Susongtai region, the business zone and other regions, and does not consider those former Qing officials who surrendered to Chengcheng.

Although he already has a predetermined candidate in his heart, as the emperor of this empire, Lin Zhe can't take the initiative to mention everything, he needs to maintain his mystery and reserve as an emperor.

So many things need to be proposed by these subordinates, and then he will allow them to do it!

And Li Ganzhou estimated that he would still not be able to figure out Lin Zhe's holy will for a while and a half, so this matter of the prefect of Taiping Mansion had to be put down first!

After Li Ganzhou retreated, the remaining two middle-aged people who were also wearing Chinese clothes also stepped forward to talk to Lin Zhe one after another, one of these two people was named Zhao Dongzha and the other was named Xu Yanling.

Zhao Dongzha, like many other high-ranking officials in the Chinese Empire, was born in Lin Zhe's staff, at first he was just an ordinary copywriter in the General Affairs Department of Yu Shengjun, and then transferred to the gendarmerie system, but he soon quit the army and entered politics, and was transferred to the Patrol Police Department of the Business Zone as a deputy director, and later promoted to the director of the Susong Taidao Patrol Police Department, and his talent in police affairs is quite outstanding.

However, this time Lin Zhe transferred him to the central government, but instead of letting him be Lin Chengjia's assistant and the assistant minister of the patrol police department, he planned to let him be in charge of a separate department, that is, the intelligence agency that had just been established: the Intelligence Department of the Palace Affairs Department.

However, Xu Yanling is not a military policeman, he was born in the patrol police system, he has served in the judicial department of the business zone for a long time, and once served as the director of the judicial department of the business district, and now he is transferred by Lin Zhe to be appointed as the deputy director of the intelligence department of the palace affairs department, as Zhao Dongzha's deputy.

For a long time, Lin Zhe's military and political system did not have a full-time intelligence agency, and although the joint staff department on the military side had a special military affairs office responsible for military intelligence affairs, the scope was extremely limited, and it was limited to military intelligence.

With the establishment of the Chinese Empire, which gradually grew, specialized internal and external non-military intelligence agencies also needed to be established.

However, intelligence agencies have always been more sensitive, and if an intelligence agency is set up in the cabinet openly, it may not be controlled by the cabinet, which is unacceptable to Lin Zhe, who wants to have full control over the intelligence agency, so he simply set up an intelligence department in the palace affairs department and bypassed the cabinet.
