Chapter 35 Venue
PS: Ask for a monthly pass
"Give Daddy a smile."
In the back house of the General Soldier's Mansion late at night, there were a few bright yarn lamps lit in the main house, Chen Xin hugged his month-old son and couldn't put it down, but the baby didn't like it, and cried wow.
"Master, give it to me, don't scare the young master." Ju Xiang said worriedly on the side.
"How can you be scared, catch up with Ming'er, I have to take him to fight Tartars, I don't have the courage at all, I will definitely be scared to pee my pants then." Chen Xin said with a big grin
"Oh, I said, I've already peed, give it to me." Ju Xiang said as she came over to pick up the child, and water was dripping under her buttocks.
Chen Xin threw the urine on his hand and scolded, "It's useless, I just peed when I heard the tartar." β
Zhao Xiang said dissatisfiedly on the side: "How can anyone take a child to fight, our son will be the top student in the future and become a big official." β
Chen Xin grabbed a changed official uniform, wiped his hands clean, and said with a smile, "Isn't Zhu Di just fighting since he was a child, he is not interested in being able to fight and study, Wang Yangming is like this, he is very good at reading and fighting." β
Ju Xiang asked strangely, "Who is Zhu Di?" Is he also a military attachΓ©? β
Zhao Xiang glanced at Ju Xiang, "Taizong's name can't be called nonsense, it's okay to talk a few words at home, don't go out and talk nonsense." β
Ju Xiang stuck out her tongue, lowered her head to change the child's diaper, changed it and hugged it, and the child immediately stopped crying.
Chen Xin wanted to hug him again, but Ju Xiang turned around and blocked the way, "Don't hug it, it's time to cry again in a while." β
Chen Xin had to reach out and touch the child's head, "Why hasn't your hair been shaved yet, remember to shave it when the time comes." Hair makes me a few brushes. β
Zhao Xiang shook his head, "Don't think about it." I can't use the pen for you, but I will use it for him when he takes the top exam in the future. β
Chen Xin still needs to say. The mother-in-law's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Lord Zhou is here, saying that there is something to report." β
"Got it." Chen Xin tidied up his clothes and went out to the study of Erjin, Wang Mafu came in and lit two oil lamps, Zhou Shifa came in a moment later, and the dancing flames on the oil lamp cast his figure on the wall, forming a dark shadow.
Zhou Shifa nodded with Wang Mafu. After he went out, he whispered to Chen Xinyu, "Today, RΓ¬yang and his fellow villagers are gathering, and in Lu Chuanzong's new residence, there are three people above the general manager, one staff officer of the Chinese army, and two people above the thousand general, respectively Lu Chuanzong and Dai Zhenggang, and three civil affairs officials, headed by Xu Yuanhua. β
"Show me the record."
Zhou Shifa handed over the newspaper with both hands. These are the originals passed on by the intelligence officer, and there must be no mistakes in copying the newspaper, and every rΓ¬ must be archived. Chen Xin read it calmly, and said to Zhou Shifa: "It's a fellow countryman party." However, there are many officers in Yanggu, and they will still have to be watched in the future. β
Zhou Shifa bowed in response, and Chen Xin asked Zhou Shifa to sit down. He smiled and asked, "Shifa, you have been following this official for a few years, and this time you have also taken command of the capital." In the future, when the territory is bigger, you have to pay more attention. The size of the Intelligence Bureau is by no means what it is today. β
"Yes, even this money is still a little less, and after this expansion, it is only enough for five hundred people."
"The official will give you ideas about the matter of silver, after this financial reform, the General Military Mansion has some reserve funds every year, which are in the management of the attendant's room, and you come to the official when you need it urgently." Chen Xin continued, "I told you last time that this time the Intelligence Bureau will also be adjusted, divided into internal and external parts, how do you plan to arrange personnel?" β
"The subordinates plan to put Zhang Dong in charge of the Foreign Intelligence Department, Qin Rong in charge of the Internal Intelligence Department, and Wu Jianzhong in charge of the Counterintelligence Department."
"Is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"
Zhou Shifa said in a low voice: "Now that it is disassembled, the action team also needs to be divided into internal and external, otherwise it will be quite inconvenient to do things in the field." The subordinate plans to split into two task forces, one for the internal and external affairs. β
Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "The internal intelligence department is related to the safety of Denglai, I don't worry about others, you are in charge of the internal intelligence department, let Qin Rong be in charge of counter-espionage, Wu Jianzhong is still young, and he used to be in charge of bandits, let him be the deputy director of the foreign intelligence department, in charge of the foreign intelligence team, and continue to manage this dark line." What do you think? β
"Yes, my subordinates listen to my lord."
"In addition, I can trust you, but Zhang Dong and Wu Jianzhong have not been here for a long time, and it is necessary to increase the number of inspectors in the two places to help you manage it."
Zhou Shifa was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, what we do is different from the army, if we follow military law, we can't do many things." β
Chen Xin nodded and smiled: "This official naturally knows, so these inspectors are not military law, they are under the management of my attendant room, as long as they don't do anything too out of the ordinary, this officer will not pursue it, how to do it in the future, just help you watch those subordinates more, these supervisors also belong to you for performance evaluation." β
Zhou Shifa heard Chen Xin say this, and it was difficult to argue anymore, so he had to agree.
Chen Xin poured a cup of tea for Zhou Shifa, handed it to Zhou Shifa and asked casually: "I heard that you have added a kid to your second room, remember to invite this official when the moon is full." β
Zhou Shifa rarely showed a little warmth, "It's hard for adults to remember this little thing of the subordinates, the first two are daughters, and now there is finally a queen, and there is nothing to worry about when you are born and die." β
"Shifa, don't say that, in the future, you will mainly be in charge of the affairs of the bureau, just grasp the big things, don't do the things you do every time, if there is a mistake, it will be like losing my arm."
Zhou Shifa stood up and said movingly: "The adult has won the award, and the villain is panicked." β
"If you add a mouth to the home, the consumption will be larger, and the monthly salary will be enough?"
Zhou Shifa said calmly: "The adults have given a lot to their subordinates, and the subordinates told the family to save a little, thinking about buying some land and manors in the future." β
Chen Xin nodded and said calmly, "This time I will also give you a monthly salary, if the level is not enough, you can also come to the official, the official has some silver, and it is useless to put it away." In the future, if you have shares in Sihai Trading Company and some dividends every year, it will be better. β
"Your subordinates have thanked you."
The two talked about family routines and chatted for another quarter of an hour, and the housekeeper came to report to Song Wenxian and Yang Yunnong to ask to see him, Zhou Shifa stood up to say goodbye, and Chen Xin didn't leave him, but said, "Yang Yunnong also wants to ask for an official position, so that he can enter my Dengzhou Town." β
Zhou Shifa quipped, "This rΓ¬zi is busy enough." However, Yang Yunnong is an ordinary talent, so I don't know what he can do? β
"He had approached the official earlier. I think he can still do something, and his identity as a palm print commander is also real. I plan to go to Song Wenxian and let him deal with Denglai's guard. He and Song Wenxian are old acquaintances, but in the end, it will not work, and it depends on Song Wenxian's opinion, this kind of personnel matter, the opinions of the heads of various ministries are also very important. β
"Your Excellency is wise, then your subordinates will retire first and don't disturb your affairs."
Chen Xin smiled and nodded, and put away his smile after Zhou Shifa left. For the intelligence bureau, the management method can not be the same as that of the soldiers, and it is far from enough to rely entirely on Zhou Shifa's loyalty, and it is necessary to take the opportunity of institutional adjustment to join the supervision, although the inspector's performance appraisal power is in Zhou Shifa, but the personnel power is in the attendant room of the General Military Palace, which has driven a nail into the intelligence bureau, at least it can remind the people of the intelligence bureau that someone is watching them.
That's the benefit of institutional realignment. With the reason why you have to adjust, you can do a lot of things that are usually difficult to do in it, for example, most of the people in Yanggu used to be in the first and second thousand headquarters, and this time you can transfer some of them to other battalions. And the unified standard training will not allow such a transfer to affect the combat effectiveness.
Glancing at the records on the intelligence again, his brows furrowed slightly, although Wendeng's officer salary was high. But there is no power to pay military salaries, if all around. They will not be unfair, and now they have more time to mingle with other battalions in Dengzhou Dongjiang. These officers all knew that the officers of the Ming army could drink the blood of soldiers, and all the power was in the hands of the generals, so there would indeed be some swings in their mentality, and Lu Chuanzong also expressed his envy for other Ming generals more than once on other occasions.
Fortunately, now with the opportunity of Sihai Trading Company, the treatment of the army can be improved without affecting land resources, and the officers and soldiers are more closely tied to the Dengzhou system.
Chen Xin saw the words Lu Chuanzong written on the paper, sighed softly, lit the copy on the fire, and watched it turn into ashes.
Just thinking of this, Yang Yunnong's huge round figure came from the main entrance, and Chen Xin greeted him with a smile......
On June 15, the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau's office was guarded, and there were also many Zhenfu soldiers on the roadside nearby, which were from the Zhenfu Corps directly under the jurisdiction of the judges of the General Army, with a total of 100 people, and they were wearing red sè short clothes and helmets with white bars painted on their heads, looking very jīng gods.
The compound was filled with officials from all over the country, standing together in their own circles and chatting and exchanging information they knew. They naturally divided into two sides, the army and the civil administration were clearly distinguished, and occasionally some wounded soldiers were discharged from the army and promoted to civil affairs officials, and they were familiar with both sides, so they ran on both sides to pass on the news.
Because before the official announcement of the appointment, only a few important positions have not been decided, for the organization and chief officials who have been determined, Chen Xin and Liu Minyou have interviewed relevant people one by one, and made plans for more subordinate institutions, and these chief officials will also find their subordinates to arrange after they go back, so most people know about the affairs of their own departments.
Now that they are together, they are interested in the personnel of other departments, especially those important positions, which arouse their curiosity, and the whole courtyard is full of buzzing.
Lao Cai, as the first person to know Chen Xin, became the focus of civil affairs at this time, and a group of tun chiefs who would be promoted surrounded him and listened to him gossip.
The thin Lao Cai was surrounded by a group of strong men, as if he was in the patio, but as a person who had been abroad, he was used to seeing big scenes, and he was still calm and relaxed at this time, "Civil affairs, the most important thing is the finance and Tunpu, Tunpu is supervised by Mo Huaiwen, and the financial estimate is either Mr. Liu himself is in charge, or the king is happy." β
A group of tun chiefs hissed and inhaled, Wang Daixi is a woman who has to manage so much money, where will the budget settlement of each department pass from her in the future, but she has become a female god of wealth, but she has been in charge of this matter before, and the financial system was also established by her and Liu Min, and the various tun chiefs can't complain about anything, but that Mo Huaiwen used to be the tun chief, and now he is the second-in-command of civil affairs, and there are also two classmates in the first literacy class among the onlookers, and they are also embarrassed when they hear it.
Lao Cai has been here for a long time, and he has the widest face, and he said mysteriously: "In addition to these two, there is also a personnel department, do you know what it does?" β
The tun chiefs shook their heads in unison, and Lao Cai raised their appetites before he said with satisfaction: "It's the Ministry of Officials, and in the future, it's not that Lord Liu will come to you to say a word, you have to use the personnel department to issue appointment documents, and you can only take office with this document." β
A tun chief hurriedly asked, "Then who is the chief officer of this personnel department?" β
Lao Cai touched his beard and smiled, and only when the chief was so anxious that he couldn't help it, he said, "I don't know." β
The tun chiefs all sighed, but Lao Cai said: "In addition to these few, the former inspectors have now become the inspectors, if you have anything you haven't done well, they will come to find trouble." β
A tun commander complained, "How many bosses do you have to have, the Tunpu Department is in charge of people, the Personnel Department is in charge of official positions, and the Supervision Department is here to investigate, this is only civil affairs, the Central Military Department also has a Mobilization Department, how many people do we have to deal with as a tun chief." β
Lao Cai glanced at him and scolded in a low voice, "It's better if you don't want to do it, the ten generals in your tun are all staring at your position, and since you are called to participate in the meeting today, it is to promote you." I also complained that a few bosses were in charge of you, you were in charge of ten general armor and five hundred households, if you want to be improper, then you will change it to me Lao Cai, you don't know how much benefit I can do with the head of the tun, if you really don't do it, now follow me to Mr. Liu to explain it. β
Natun Chang's head shrank, and quickly retreated into the crowd, and the others continued to come over to ask Lao Cai in a noisy, at this time a military horn sounded at the door of the conference room, Mo Huaiwen and Wang Mafu came to the courtyard, and called the army and civil affairs people into the venue respectively.
The newly renovated hall was large, with huge wooden pillars and large girders spanning to accommodate hundreds of people, and a podium with a long table and a row of chairs on it, and the hall was full of chairs, and some of the pacifiers commanded the people to find their places.
The weather in June was a bit hot and humid, and the seats were crowded, and after everyone was seated, everyone began to sweat, and the civil affairs officials opened their necklines one after another, and took out folding fans to fan the wind, and kept talking to each other.
On the military side, the standard sitting position was maintained, no one undressed and fanned, and no one whispered to talk.
A moment later, Chen Xin, Liu Minyou, and Song Wenxian walked onto the podium, and the audience immediately fell silent.
Wang Mafu came to the left side of the stage, and when Chen Xin and the others stood still, Wang Mafu shouted, "Salute!" β
All the officers stood up and saluted in unison, and the officials on the civil affairs side stood up and bowed their hands in a mess, and some bowed down, looking very confused.
Chen Xin and the others sat down after returning the salute, Chen Xin sat in the center, Liu Minyou sat on the left, and Song Wenxian on the right, and it was Chen Xin's old partner who presided over the meeting this time.
He was neatly dressed, sweat was on his forehead, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it at this time, stood up and calmly glanced at the venue, saw everyone looking at the podium quietly, nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a calm tone: "Today, I convened all my colleagues to gather here to agree on the system of my Dengzhou Town, and the Wendeng camp can be strong step by step under the command of Lord Chen, which is also the result of the careful planning of Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu. In a few years, Wendeng Camp was able to change from a fishing village in Weihai to a strong town in Dengzhou. But now our town is scattered all over Denglai, the area is vast, Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu do not have so many jΔ«ng power to do it himself, more things depend on the dedication of all of you here, the so-called no rules do not form a circle, and the system discussed today lies in the delineation of responsibilities. Next, I would like to ask Liu Pojun to read out the system of the General Military Administration. β
Seeing Liu Pojun walk to the left side of the podium and take out the booklet, everyone in the venue held their breath, for fear of missing a word. (To be continued.) )
