Chapter 46 He Xi's Cabinet Candidates

He Xi's judgment is not convincing to everyone. But He Xi had already made his attitude clear, and naturally no one came up to say anything.

Yang Shiqi asked, "My lord, how many yamen are you going to set up under the cabinet?"

He Xi said: "First of all, the Ministry of Finance, you are responsible for this matter. You are the chosen prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Get an overview of the world's finances. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Customs, the Bank, the money and grain taxes, all in your hands, how many departments are set up in the financial aspect, you can report to me. For example, on the issue of grain, grain reserves will be very important for a long time to come. Regardless of whether taxes in kind are collected in the future, there will always be a large number of granaries. There is a question here, whether to set up a separate food department, or warehouse department, this is your business, you have to make a plan and report to me."

Yang Shiqi listened, his breathing was tight, Rao is city was extremely deep, and he couldn't help but have some gaffes at this moment.

Cabinet Fellows?

Whether in Nanjing or Beijing, they are one of the prime ministers, Yang Shiqi and He Xi are about the same age, and they can reach such a high position, which is really unimaginable for Yang Shiqi. Admittedly, in the dead of night, Yang Shiqi is also reflecting on how likely Beijing is to win.

But now, the hesitation in his heart disappeared all at once.

After all, if you want to get to this position in Nanjing, it is impossible to get to this position without a few decades. Even if there are decades, it is impossible, after all, there are only a few positions in this position, and it is normal for most people to not be able to climb it.

Now, He Xi has been handed over to him.

Whether it's for the future, or the ideal, or both. Anyway, Yang Shiqi didn't hesitate at all.

He Xi said, "Yang Zhen."

Yang Zhen said, "Your Excellency."

He Xi said: "The business and industry is the one I attach the most importance to, and the industry and commerce will be handed over to you. You give a plan. Here it comes. All the industrial and commercial aspects are left to you."

Yang Zhen is even more incredible than He Xi. said: "My lord, I am just a down-and-out scholar, I don't have any official position, how can I hold such a high position, this will be ridiculed by the world."

He Xi said, "If others don't know, can I not know? There is no one in the world who is better suited to do this than you."

He Xi actually didn't consider Yang Zhen's shortcomings. But the problem is that He Xi's talents are limited, although He Xi has cultivated a lot of talents, and in Beijing Guozijian, he doesn't know how many people can use them. But these people are still too young, and it's okay to do things below, and it's impossible to really understand He Xi's thinking and take charge on his own.

There are not many people in He Xi's entrainment, loyal, and people who can understand the economy and industry and commerce, He Xi feels that Yang Zhen is the only one.

Yang Zhen only felt that his blood was boiling.

Yang Zhen is much more grateful to He Xi than Yang Shiqi. After all, Yang Shiqi has come to this day step by step. What he did, even if he was not promoted, was only a few years old. There may not be a day when there will be no future in the future. But Yang Zhen is different.

Yang Zhen was a prodigal when he was young, and he was almost killed in the Guozi Prison because he made a joke. If it weren't for He Xi, he would have died a long time ago. also gave up the idea of a career, and devoted himself to doing business in whatever house. It is true that He Xi has always respected Yang Zhen very much, as a guest, not a slave, and the treatment is also very generous. But Yang Zhen also had the heart to repay his kindness.

He never thought that he would one day become one of the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Zhen is desperate for his career, not without the idea of his career, and even his idea of career is deeper than anyone else, when he dreams back at midnight, he may not be crying bitterly, regretting his youth and ignorance. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become a businessman.

And now He Xi suddenly gave him what he thought about day and night. He immediately burst into tears and said, "My lord, the lower official will definitely die for your lord."

Yang Shiqi couldn't say such words. After all, Yang Shiqi came to this position in one step and had his own ideas, but Yang Zhen was He Xi's private at the moment. It is impossible not to do what you want him to do. Because Yang Zhen knew that without He Xi, there would be no place for him Yang Zhen

Place.

He Xi said, "Okay. There is no need to say this, the ministers of the same palace are all serving the court, and such words are not allowed to be said."

Yang Zhen said, "Xiaguan understands."

He Xi said, "You have something important to do today."

Yang Zhen said, "Your Excellency, please command."

He Xi said, "Summons all the heads of trading companies in Beijing."

Yang Zhen frowned slightly and said, "This ------"

He Xi said, "What's wrong?"

Yang Zhen said: "Unless the lower officials resigned, since the start of the army, many trading companies in Beijing have been empty."

He Xi said, "When people go to empty buildings, don't they want the money in their banks?"

Yang Zhen said, "Naturally, there are people left behind, but they are all inconsequential personnel."

He Xi can also understand this matter. The juxtaposition of Beijing and Nanjing is a huge political change, and these nobles do not dare to rashly contact, but first check the style. I am also worried that Beijing will be ruthless, so it is natural to retreat.

But they have a lot of business in Beijing. It can't be completely put down. Just leave a few people who are not distressed when they die.

He Xi said, "Whoever it is? I'll see you all."

Yao Guangxiao said, "We need a channel to talk to one behind these trading companies. You just go ahead and arrange it."

Yang Zhen suddenly understood and said, "I'll arrange it immediately."

I have to say that Yao Guangxiao is too keen in terms of strategy. Most of the nobles have industries in Beijing, and it is nothing more than a question of how much. One way to win over these people is to win them over through these trading companies. It can be said that if all the nobles in the world stand on Beijing's side, then there is no need to fight this battle.

After all, the honors of the early Ming Dynasty really held power. This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had a big purge before his death.

He Xi didn't mean it, but at least not all of it. The reason is very simple, He Xi needs war, and war is the best way to solve many things. It is also the ultimate solution to all contradictions.

He Xi is actually not satisfied with the industries run by the nobles, they are more among the crony capital, they are not actively operating at all, and they like power monopoly more. This is engraved in the bones and cannot be changed.

He Xi integrates capital, not honor.

After all, because of the bank, the money earned by these nobles is in the banking system at the moment and has not been taken away. He wanted these things, the people who had stayed in the local business.

If you can win over some people, He Xi is not so pedantic. Naturally, he is willing to pull a few, but He Xi estimates that he wants to pull over, but people are still unwilling to come, although the northern army has a victory, but now the southern army has begun to integrate. Fu Youde has already gone north.

Fu Youde will not easily fight before he completes the integration of Shandong, Henan's soldiers, horses, and grains. Troop mobilization is not a computer game, just a tap. It is estimated that Fu Youde is ready, and it will take a little time.

But the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as soon as Fu Youde came out, many people didn't think that the north could hold on for long.

Therefore, it is impossible for these nobles to defect to the north at this time.

He Xi didn't say anything, but said, "Mr. Yao, I'm going to ------."

Yao Guangxiao said, "My lord, are you also going to arrange me into the cabinet?"

He Xi said, "Exactly."

Yao Guangxiao said: "By no means, there are seven in the cabinet, and the adults are the first assistants, and personnel and military power cannot be conceded. Otherwise, it will not be enough to level the world. Yang Shiqi is in charge of money and food, and the weight of the world is already in the hands of adults. If this is the case, there are still four seats in the cabinet, what does Your Highness think of you?"

"Therefore, the other four seats must be decided in consultation with His Highness. As for me," Yao Guangxiao sighed lightly and said, "What I can help adults with is just a belly of tricks, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and I am already satisfied to be able to assist adults in achieving great things with a white body, and to display my talents. Officials and other things are like clouds to me."
