Now that Li Shi has taken over the ministry, even if the emperor doesn't completely listen to his words, the people in the ministry don't dare not listen.

It can save Xiao Chen a lot of trouble.

He has always carried the appointment list with him, because he doesn't know when Li Wanjiang will be nervous to see him, so he must prepare in advance, as long as the emperor asks, he will immediately take it out and show him.

He didn't ask, he had to take the initiative to mention it to him.

Now that Li Shi asked, it was also a good feeling.

Li Shi took the list and only looked at one name and smashed his mouth, "Chen Jisheng? He was personally deposed by the emperor and ordered to use people who were not hired, and you listed him first, did you want to do it against the emperor? ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to hire him, nor did I give him a real job, just ask the emperor for permission to give him a grade, I think it's quite appropriate to receive the title of second-grade scholar." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

In fact, Xiao Chen knew that the emperor would not give Chen Jisheng any official position no matter what, but he insisted on listing the old man first, which was deliberate.

Anyway, Your Majesty, you must also know that Chen Jisheng is with me now, instead of waiting for you to ask me first, it is better for me to be generous and tell you first.

See what your emperor will say?

Do you say I don't know who I employ?

Chen Jisheng is a proper Qing official and a good official, which everyone in the court, including your emperor, knows in their hearts.

If it's not that I don't know who I employ, then the emperor doesn't know you......

Although I reused Chen Jisheng, I didn't appoint him to any official position, which is not disrespectful at all, right?

Because the old man has made great contributions to me in Yanyun County, it is not too much for me to come here to help him ask for a grade to be vain.

As for whether you agree or not, it depends on how big your pattern is, the emperor.

Li Shi's pattern is big, and he also admires Chen Jisheng, but his power is not big enough, and he can't give him this title.

If you can give, you won't give.

Next.

Liu Congshu? Xiao Chen, if this king is wrong, please correct me, is this Liu Congshu the Zhizhou who opened the gate of Changshan City and greeted the Xian Xiao cavalry?

Xiao Chen said yes, that's him.

Li Shi sighed and skipped directly to look at the next one.

The next Wen Chengxu, a former Han dynasty Xiucai, plans to appoint the governor of Yanbei Prefecture, plus the fourth rank of prefect......

"Xiao Chen, what are you kidding?" Li Shi threw the list on the table, "You still plan to show this list to the emperor, the emperor asked you a ridiculous crime, do you say you can afford it?" ”

"Hehe, the minister's work has always been ridiculous, if the emperor punished the crime with this, the minister would have died a long time ago." Xiao Chen's hippie smile.

"Yanyun Eighteen Prefectures, what do you mean by only listing two Zhizhou?" Li Shi asked, "Didn't you take back the other sixteen states?" ”

"Lord Wang, this is asking knowingly." Xiao Chen's smile was meaningful.

"Hmph, your kid's belly is full of ghost eyes!" Li Shi also smiled, paused and said, "Actually, I think that the eighteen states of Yanyun County are too bloated, and the personnel of this institution are obviously insufficient, so it is better to reduce the eighteen states to nine states or even six states, which is also convenient for the imperial court to manage." ”

"Lord Wang, this is really a high opinion!" Xiao Chen clapped his hands and admired, "I think so too, Lord Wang, you don't know, the situation in Yanyun County is really messy, there are eighteen states, only seven or eight prefectures, some are county governors, and the jurisdiction between other states is ambiguous." ”

Streamlining the organization, this is also what Xiao Chen and Chen Jisheng have discussed, and they also want to ask Li Wanjiang to agree this time.

This is a good thing, Li Wanjiang should agree.

Now that Li Shi has taken the initiative to bring it up, it couldn't be better.

As for saying that Xiao Chen only proposed two candidates for Zhizhou in the list, there was naturally a reason.

Changshan Prefecture and Yanbei Prefecture are currently the two most important states in Yanyun County, so Xiao Chen must use his own people.

As for the remaining candidates for the governor, it has to be left to the emperor and the officials.

Otherwise, it seems that he is so authoritarian......

The emperor will definitely install his people in Yanyun County, but this will not affect the order of Yanyun County.

Chen Jisheng once said that there is no distinction between good officials and bad officials in the world, only the difference between capable and mediocre talents.

But even if you are mediocre, as long as the rules are clearly formulated and strictly enforced, nothing will go wrong.

For example, Zhizhou, you are not only an official in Zhizhou, right? If he dares to come nonsense, the officials below also have the right to dismiss or even impeach him!

In this case, no one will dare to do nonsense, and no one will be able to do nonsense.

This is called institutional justice.

In other words, no matter who the emperor sends down, as long as he is disobedient, Xiao Chen can clean him up at any time.

There are only two candidates for Zhizhou in his list, but there are more than a dozen candidates for Zhixian, and these are all talents carefully selected by Chen Jisheng and them who have passed many assessments.

In fact, for local governance, the county magistrate is the most important position, because he is the person who directly deals with the people and knows the local people's feelings best.

No matter what kind of strategy Xiao Chen and Chen Jisheng work out, they are the actual executors in the end.

"Xiao Chen, you are now in power in Yanyun County, and this governor is worthy of the name of being in charge of the army and the people." Li Shi said again.

"The minister understands what the prince means, and when he meets the emperor again, he will definitely resign from the position of general of Zhengbei, and he will not want any other Xichang factory company, the master of ceremonies, and the eunuchs of Yipin, so I can be my governor." Xiao Chen said.

"Really?" Li Shi said with a smile.

"It's not the truth, it's the faith." Xiao Chen also smiled.

"You can leave this list first, and I'll look for Wang Anbang to think about it later...... By the way, shouldn't you pay back the money you owe me? I've heard that you're doing pretty good business with the tribes of Northern Xinjiang. Li Shi diverted the topic.

"It's a lot of money, but it's not enough to spend! Hundreds of thousands of people in Yanyun County are waiting to be fed, and I, as the governor, can't just watch them freeze to death and starve to death, right? And the salaries of those officials have not been paid for many years, and I have to make up for them, so I can't just let the horses run and not give the horses grazing, right? Xiao Chen complained.

"In addition, there are a lot of military expenses, just the pensions of those fallen soldiers cost more than 100,000 taels of silver, and the grain and grass were also bought by me with my own money, and the amount given by the court was not enough at all! I also ate the last meal without the next meal, and I was angry when I said it, I didn't even have half of the grain I bought from Myanmar to Yanyun! ”

After crying bitterness, you cry poor, and after crying poor, you cry out for injustice.

I'll tell you if I'm wronged!

"You can tell the emperor this, but you can't talk to me!" Li Shi smiled, "Anyway, the money you owe me must be repaid!" ”

"I still have to pay it back, Lord Wang, you allow me a year to promise to pay you back." Xiao Chen has this confidence.

Wait until his factories are profitable, hehe!

One million and 8,000,000 silver is a piece of.
