Chapter 213: Changing with each passing day
Yuzhou Prefecture Ya.
Wei Chen was busy.
According to the new assessment method, in the past two months or so, a small half of the officials in the Yuzhou Prefecture who have failed to do their jobs have been dismissed.
Of course, there are also some newcomers who have performed well and have been promoted to higher positions.
It's just that although those officials are corrupt and bribery, oppress the people, and procrastinate in doing things, they are after all father and son, familiar with government affairs, and thorough in accordance with regulations.
Although the newcomers who are replaced are loyal and hardworking, and have momentum, it is difficult to compare with those officials in terms of experience, and it is inevitable that they will be in a hurry in the face of new positions and work.
At this time, only Wei Chen can wipe their buttocks, and Wei Chen has to take care of dozens of people alone, so he is naturally anxious.
Of course, the current tiredness is only temporary.
When these newcomers are familiar with their positions and completely replace the previous officials, the atmosphere in the state government will be completely renewed, and the three classes and six rooms will be more like an arm command for Wei Chen, and there will basically be no more yang and yin violations.
And during this time, Weichen also gained a lot in the process of handling government affairs.
He has done almost all kinds of things in the state government by himself, and he has a deeper understanding of the entire government operation system, and has truly completed the transformation from a clear stream minister to a parent.
These personal experiences and experiences are the most valuable wealth for Wei Chen, and in comparison, the physical exertion is simply insignificant.
"Fortunately, there are still two staff members!"
Wei Chen put down the official document in his hand, picked up a cup of herbal tea and drank it, moistening his somewhat dry throat.
These days, Wei Shuping and Fang Yuan, the two staff members under Wei Chen, have gradually shown their abilities, one is in charge of paperwork and the other is in charge of Qian Gu, sharing a lot of pressure for Wei Chen.
Otherwise, relying on Wei Chen alone, managing hundreds of people up and down the state government, I am afraid that he will not even have the time to sleep.
Wei Chen was sighing, but he saw his other staff member, Gu Tingye, striding into the hall with a stomach.
Wei Chen put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Zhong Huai, are you here to report your victory?" ”
Gu Tingye nodded.
Wei Chen has been a lot of troubles these days, and his anger has risen, Rao is Gu Tingye's unstingy temperament, he was a little worried when he saw him, and his voice unconsciously lightened a lot.
"Xingyun, Shuangfeng Mountain, Fenghouling, Laoshanping, these three bandits entrenched in Yuzhou have all been wiped out."
"Good!"
Wei Chen slapped the table reluctantly when he heard this, Huo Ran got up, and his excitement was overflowing: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhong Huai!" ”
Gu Tingye said with emotion: "Although these bandits are a rabble, those officials and archers under my command are even more unbearable than them. After more than a month of training, it looks a little good, but when it really started, it was immediately revealed.
When attacking Laoshanping, I didn't even see the face of the enemy, but I just ate a few waves of sparse rain of arrows, and almost collapsed without a fight. Thanks to the help of General Shen sent by Zhao Tuanlian, they were able to stabilize their position and take down the gang of bandits in Laoshanping. ”
Wei Chen patted Gu Tingye's shoulder and said softly: "Anyway, in addition to this confidant, the people of Yuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment in the future, and the businessmen who come and go don't have to be afraid." ”
Gu Tingye nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, looked at Wei Chen and said, "By the way, Xingyun, when I entered the city just now, I happened to meet a caravan, which should have come from Bianjing." And ......"
Gu Tingye paused deliberately, and then lowered his voice and said, "They are all looking for news about Jun porcelain along the way. ”
Wei Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival Oiran Conference has passed, someone has come to smell it, these businessmen are really worthy of a dog's nose!" ”
"Bianjing City brings together talents from all over the world, and the most important thing is businessmen with brains. In my opinion, this is only the first batch, and in a few days, more and more businessmen will come after hearing the news. ”
Gu Tingye turned his head and smiled: "How are your students preparing?" I heard that you don't teach people the Four Books and Five Classics, but let him read "Han Feizi", don't mislead people's children! ”
Wei Chen said with a smile: "He was not born to be a rotten Confucian who buries his head in chapters and sentences, "Han Feizi" is about the art of enriching the country and strengthening the army, which is more suitable for him than those high-level sermons that deal with the imperial examination." I asked him to take care of the kilns in Juntai, just to take this opportunity to sharpen him and let him practice what he learned in the book. ”
"I'm afraid that you have sharpened too much, and you have recruited merchants from all over the world, but when the time comes, you will not be able to get what they want, and let the family run for nothing...... Forget it, you just have to know it. ”
Seeing Wei Chen's confident appearance, Gu Tingye didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and after chatting casually, he said goodbye to Wei Chen and turned around and went out.
Wei Chen was busy with official business during this time, and Gu Tingye was not easy, the Bailai bandit minions he had just caught were still waiting for him to be released, and the soft-footed shrimp-like servants under his hands also had to give them rules, and they couldn't always rely on the group training side to help.
Jun Ci's reputation has been beaten, and Yuzhou City will soon be overcrowded, without a good law and order, Gu Tingye's burden will only get heavier and heavier, and he doesn't want to drag Wei Chen's hind legs.
After Gu Tingye left, Wei Chen also sat back in his seat and took out a booklet from the pile of documents, which was exactly the revitalization strategy of Yuzhou Jun porcelain that Zhao Ceying had revised several editions under Wei Chen's guidance.
The content in it is a bit cumbersome, but if you summarize it briefly, it is nothing more than a few key points to promote.
After sending Chen Siniang to Bianjing, Wei Chen came forward to convene the owners of the sixteen kilns, integrate the existing sixteen kilns, and establish the Yuzhou Jun Porcelain Guild.
As the so-called peers are enemies, these kilns are gathered near Juntai, and they know each other, but over the years, there must have been a lot of stumbles, and there has been a lack of a strong figure to integrate them together.
So Wei Chen came forward, in the name of Zhizhou, forcibly pinched the major kilns together, quickly cut through the mess, and set up a guild shelf.
Of course, the specific operation of the guild is still up to the sixteen proprietors to decide on their own.
At this time, it was Zhao Ceying's turn to play.
For a child of an unambitious clan like Zhao Zongquan, doing business is actually a good choice, especially if he already knows the future of Jun porcelain.
So, Zhao Zongquan took the initiative to take out his family funds and bought the largest kiln for Zhao Ceying.
Zhao Zongquan's family has been in Yuzhou for many years, and the relationship in all aspects is very good, and the accumulated contacts and prestige are far from being comparable to those ordinary kiln owners.
With Wei Chen's strong support, Zhao Ceying naturally became the first president of the Jun Porcelain Guild and began his drastic reforms.
First of all, unified quality standards, unified pricing, foreign bulk trade can only be carried out in the name of the Jun porcelain guild, and then internal sharing to avoid vicious competition.
Secondly, Zhao Ceying also learned the strategy of differentiated pricing from Wei Chen, and divided the fired Jun porcelain into two different levels: high-end and low-end.
High-end Jun porcelain should not only strive for excellence in firing, but also inject cultural heritage into it, enhance the "story", and provide enough emotional value, so as to stand out in the famous porcelain around the world and completely start the brand of Jun porcelain.
When the brand of Jun porcelain is established in the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou, a larger number of low-end Jun porcelain will naturally be able to take advantage of the momentum and sell well throughout the Great Zhou, bringing a steady stream of profits to the guild.
More importantly, it can attract countless merchants from all over the Great Zhou to flock to Yuzhou.
At that time, whether it is the Jun porcelain trade itself, or the overall economic environment of Yuzhou, will usher in earth-shaking changes.
