Chapter 14 Some people rejoice and some people are sad
The other three committee members basically agreed with Wang Kunjun's opinion, especially on the issue of Xing Zhengnan and Han Qingshu, and the other three committee members respected Wang Kunjun's decision very much -- after all, these two elderly people are Wang Kunjun's family members, and how to arrange it should still be subject to Wang Kunjun's opinion. The only difference between the other three committee members and Wang Kunjun's view was on the issue of Gao Jun's transfer. Therefore, after agreeing with Wang Kunjun's other opinions, Zhang Weixin changed his words and said: "I have no opinion on the transfer and arrangement of other people, but on the issue of the thirty-sixth, brother, I think the fifth brother, you are too concerned about the possible reaction of the fourteenth." Yes, this time the division of the six prefectures has almost all the brothers of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which seems to be detrimental to the future development of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. However, in the brother's view, although such a transfer may have a slight impact on the work of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade in the short term, it will not cause the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to be distressed from a practical and long-term perspective.
On the one hand, after several years of development, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade has cultivated a large number of capable and trustworthy shopkeepers and associates. Whether it is the old fourteen or the brothers of the various departments under the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, there are very few things that really need to be asked, and most of the daily business and trading of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade are operated by those who are of sufficient level, and it is not easy for the businessmen who do business with our team to interview one of the brothers in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. In terms of workload, even if there are no other brothers to help, with the ability of the old fourteen, he can deal with it with ease, and it will not affect the work of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.
On the other hand, although we have transferred away the old ten, the thirteenth, the nineteenth and the twenty-second this time, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is not the only one left as the commander of the light pole. The Ministry of Commerce and Trade also has the twenty-third sister Zhu Xiaoyuan and the wife of the Zhiwei brothers, Liu Jie. Don't look at the two of them as women, but when it comes to business, the two of them are no worse than the other brothers in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Not to mention anything else, just say that the 'Shu Fashion Workshop' opened by two people has now blossomed everywhere, almost occupying the top spot in high-end women's clothing in all major cities and ports in the north and south of the Great River, inside and outside the Great Wall, and has become a model and leader in the fashion of rich women in these cities and even the whole country. The reputation of the two of them in the business world is not inferior to that of the tenth and thirteenth people, and there will be no problem for the two of them to take care of the business of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade that requires the presence of leading figures.
And when it comes to Lao Thirty-six's interest in business, it is only under the conditions that our team has before. After all, before the Battle of the Clouds, there were only a few jobs we could arrange for Lao Thirty-six. In addition to learning to do business, there are only four departments for Lao Thirty-six to choose from: the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Material Management, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Security. But among these four departments, in addition to the cumbersome, boring, and material management department that Lao Thirty-six has never thought of, the other few are very professional departments, and for laymen like Lao Thirty-six, it is far more difficult to learn than to follow Lao Fourteen to learn to do business. Lao Thirty-six himself is a young man who is active and does not like to deal with people, and for him it is far more comfortable and easy to talk about business and business with others than to learn those difficult mathematical, physical and chemical formulas and boring military camp life. Therefore, it is not surprising that he chose to learn to do business with the old fourteen. However, after all, Lao Thirty-six is only a man in his twenties, and no one is sure how long his interest in business will last.
Therefore, it is too early to conclude that Lao Thirty-six loves business and not politics, at least we must wait for us to have the necessary communication and exchanges with him and know his true thoughts before making a decision. As for whether Lao 14 is willing to release him, I think it depends not only on Lao 14's thoughts, but also on the attitude of the committee, and even more on Lao 36's own decision. If Lao Thirty-six really decides to abandon business and enter politics, I am afraid that Lao Fourteen will not be able to stop him if he wants to. ”…,
Although Wang Kunjun still had some concerns in his heart, considering that as the crossing team became the ruler of the sixteen states of the Beiping Army, the team's energy inevitably shifted from earning money and developing strength to governing the local area and consolidating the team's position in the Beiping Army. The need for administrative personnel is much more urgent than that of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which is already on the right track. Therefore, after much thought, he still agreed to Zhang Weixin's proposal -- in fact, it should be said that it was the common opinion of Li Junwu, Zhang Weixin, and Xu Shao'an -- and on the premise of respecting Gao Jun's personal opinion, he transferred Gao Jun from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade to the Beiping Mansion, where Zhang Wei trusted the prefect, to study government affairs. Zhang Weixin, as the main proposer of this proposal, naturally handed over the matter of communication and exchange with Gao Jun and necessary communication with Fan Wucheng to him.
Just as Zhang Weixin had predicted before, as soon as the young and vigorous Gao Jun heard that the committee was going to transfer him to study government affairs with Zhang Weixin, so that he could be sent out to be the head of a county, a prefecture, or even a government in the future, he immediately agreed without a word, saying that he would absolutely obey the committee's arrangement, and that he would definitely study hard and become a good official praised by the people in the future.
Since Gao Jun did not hesitate to agree to abandon business and enter politics, the proposal on the transfer of Gao Jun was in fact a committee resolution because all the four committee members agreed. Therefore, in the face of Gao Jun, who was elated and full of joy to learn how to be an official, Fan Wucheng, as the head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, was no longer willing to do so, and could only agree to this decision, and reluctantly accepted that the Ministry of Commerce and Trade had changed from the second largest functional department after the Ministry of Science and Technology to a midstream department with only three members, including himself.
Although the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, which can bring a lot of money to the crossing team, will still be the pillar department of the team for a long time in the future, as the crossing team takes control of the power of the 16 states of the Beiping Army, the focus of its work will definitely be tilted towards administrative management and local control, and the original three pillars of science and technology, military and economy will inevitably change to the four pillars of politics, military, science and technology, and economy -- this can be seen from the significant reduction in the size of the members of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. In addition, judging from the speeches made by the brothers at the previous two quasi-plenary meetings, it is very likely that the Ministry of Finance will be responsible for the work of taxation of the Beiping Army in the future. This also means that in the future, the economic source of the crossing team will change from a way of business to a situation of equal emphasis on business and taxation. As a result, the position of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade in the team may be further reduced.
Although the downsizing of the department does not necessarily reduce the importance of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade in the crossing team, and does not necessarily reduce his own status in the eyes of his brothers, Fan Wucheng, who has always been more vain, is still a little difficult to accept such a situation. In addition, the official position of the Later Zhou court to reward him was only the same as the other brothers of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, such as the Zhongsan Doctor, who was not only lower than the eldest brother Li Junwu and the seventh brother Zhang Weixin's Jin Zi Guanglu Doctor (Zheng Sanpin) and Yin Qingguang Lu Doctor (from the third grade), but also inferior to the Zhengyi Doctor (Zheng Sipin) and Taizhong Doctor (from the fourth grade) of the heads of the departments of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Science and Technology, which also made him unhappy - even if the will to reward the official position came from the Later Zhou Dynasty and not the crossing team.
Therefore, on the first day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of Xiande, when all the other brothers gathered in Beiping City to participate in the military parade, feeling the majesty and majesty of the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Army" and the "Security Army", enjoying the reverence and worship of the local and Beiping soldiers around the parade, and the hearts were full of joy and excitement when Fan Wucheng, who was in a bad mood and depressed, nested in the "Liangyuan" on the grounds of physical discomfort In the small courtyard that belonged to him, he drank and complained with several of his henchmen.
Seeing that his master was in a bad mood and depressed, Fan Xiaowu, who had always been good at understanding his intentions and often thought of some happy and boring ideas for Fan Wucheng, rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a place that could make his master relax and relieve depression, and he could also find a place for his master to go for a matter of his heart. So, while holding the wine jug and filling the empty wine glass in front of Fan Wucheng, he asked tentatively: "Fourteenth Master, since staying in the 'Liangyuan' and Beiping City makes you unhappy, why don't you find a reason to leave Beiping Mansion and go to another place to take a turn and relax?" ”
"Distracted?" Fan Wucheng snorted lightly and asked, "Now that this huge Beiping Army is the territory of our 'Qingyuan' brothers, where can we scatter our hearts?" ”
"Not necessarily." Fan Xiaowu said mysteriously, "The villain thinks that Liuyin Lane in the south of Wuqing County, Yuyang Prefecture, Beiping Army is a good place to go. ”
