Chapter 210: Proceedings in the Hall
The next day, the west of the city was heard.
"Minister, you're finally here!"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Zhu Youxin looking around anxiously at the door, until he saw Jiang Yun appearing, and he immediately ran over with a panicked face.
"They're already here?"
Jiang Yun was naturally so panicked until Zhu Youxin, and when he was still resting in the restaurant, he received a message from Zhu Youxin, saying that the two major gates in the west of the city were sitting menacingly in his minister's office, waiting for him with Vice Minister Ke Xinyu.
I thought about it with my ass and knew about it to support Ke Xinyu.
"I think I can't do anything about you after I have dealt with all the evidence?" Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, "Let's go." ”
At the beginning, he had seen all the big and small characters in the Jingyu District of Martial God City, and Yan Xingjue naturally let him learn some means and methods of dealing with things, if he didn't have these experiences, he might be really a little busy now.
The two walked all the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Jiang Yun could clearly feel the suspicion in the eyes around him, and they naturally knew that the powerful figures of the two major sects had come to the courtyard, and this was a silent battle between the deputy minister and the minister. They are all watching the battle between themselves and the vice minister, and once they show their declining power, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to grasp real power in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future.
"Zhu Youxin, go move a stool over."
Jiang Yun, who was standing on the first floor, didn't want to go up to the second floor, although Zhu Youxin was puzzled, he hurriedly trotted to get the stool, and Jiang Yun was slightly satisfied with this attitude of not hesitating and not asking.
He's just playing tricks on those people on the second floor, are you waiting for me? Give me a horse?
Lao Tzu is gone!
Anyway, without my signature, he wouldn't want to hold this conference! Look who's in a hurry!
"Colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I officially took over as our Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, and many affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may not be able to be handled well in a short period of time, and we will have to rely on you in the future."
Jiang Yun sat on the stool, not to mention, the stool from which end of this Zhu Youxin came from was quite comfortable to sit on.
"The minister is gracious." A few people felt that it was not appropriate for no one to answer, but they still answered with a hard head.
"Eh, yes, after all, I'm new here, so I must handle the relationship with you." Jiang Yun pointed at one of them and thought, "You should be called... Ren Kai? The one at the beginning of the foundation? ”
"Yes!" Ren Kai saw that the people around him were watching him, and after thinking about it, he replied simply.
If you talk too much, it will be troublesome if you are targeted by the deputy minister, but if you don't reply, it will be very troublesome if you anger the minister.
"If I'm not mistaken, you were involved in the disciple recruitment conference last year?" Jiang Yun spoke with ease, making it difficult for people to figure out his true purpose.
"The subordinate is responsible for the on-site construction quality exploration and the subsequent verification of the fund storage part."
"Oh!" Jiang Yun naturally didn't point at him randomly, he remembered a few key names last night, "I have a few things to ask you, you must answer truthfully." ”
"Ah???h He already smelled the abnormal atmosphere and looked around, everyone lowered their heads and did not look at him, obviously understanding that what the minister was talking about today was not an ordinary polite remark, and there was a smell of gunpowder!
"Minister!" Another man suddenly stood up and interrupted, "The deputy minister and the two major sects came to your office early in the morning to wait for you, do you think you should deal with the matter first?" ”
"Are you...?" The smile on Jiang Yun's face disappeared suddenly, and the coercion in the middle of Jindan was pervasive, making everyone present gasp.
"The subordinate is..."
"Forget it." Jiang Yun directly interrupted, "I'm not interested in your identity, so I'll ask you, is the minister's matter important, or the vice minister's matter?" ”
The man was stunned on the spot, and it was not that he did not answer this for a while.
"The minister is asking you, are you sure you won't answer?" Jiang Yun waved his hand directly, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not suitable for you, I will ask other departments if they are willing to accept you in the afternoon, and I will complete the resignation procedures this afternoon." ”
"Minister!"
The man was shocked, he didn't expect the minister to expel him directly, he hurriedly shouted. "Minister, you don't have the power to directly dismiss people!"
"I know." Jiang Yun knows that the expelled personnel must apply for a report to the dean, and there will be personnel docking in the future," Zhu Youxin. ”
"Minister!" The corners of Zhu Youxin's mouth twitched, the man was the deputy minister's person, and the scenery on the first floor was tight, and to fire him was to directly slap the vice minister in the face. While being surprised, he stood aside respectfully, wanting to see what the minister wanted to do.
"Draft, write a report on the matter of my dismissal of this person, and I will go directly to the dean for approval after I finish speaking." Jiang Yun looked at the pale-faced man coldly, "When I first arrived, the people below openly warned me that the deputy minister was more important than the minister's authority, and I couldn't kill him or detain him for crimes, so let him find another job, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't tolerate him, presumably the dean will give me this face." ”
After speaking, he added, "If the dean doesn't agree with me today, I will continue to report tomorrow, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not in good shape, so I really don't have the mood to sign the materials for holding a disciple recruitment conference!" ”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped when they heard this, this is pure bar!
And this is the first time Jiang Yun has begged the dean, presumably the dean's good old man is still happy to give this face.
"Yes!" Zhu Youxin didn't look like Jiang Yun was fake, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the man and sighed in his heart: Why bother, how can you meddle in this kind of thing?
The few people next to the man were a little farther away from him, and they couldn't help but steal fun in their hearts, how can you interfere in a ministerial-level battle.
Before, this man used Ke Xinyu's name to be powerful on the first floor, but now it's okay, give yourself such a mess. The minister insists on arguing with you, can you compare to the minister?
Only the man was left with a gloomy horror on his face, and he already understood that he was being used as a tool by the minister, and the eyes of the people around him could see it. But he still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to fire me? Then it depends on whether Vice Minister Ke agrees!
"Ren Kai, let's continue."
"Minister, may I ask, I must know everything I know." Seeing the minister killing chickens and making an example, Ren Kai hurriedly replied respectfully, no matter how to do a good job of face first, he still left a glimmer of leeway for himself between words.
"Last year, you inspected the on-site construction work, you should know the workshop that provided the wood and stone carvings, right?" Jiang Yun got straight to the point, "As far as I know, that shop has been seized, do you know why it was investigated?" ”
Ren Kai actually knew about this, nodded and replied, "That artisan shop is suspected of selling artworks to the City Lord's Mansion at a high price, according to the investigation, it was a private plot with the City Lord's Mansion Manager Zhang, and the two sides split the account in four or six accounts, I really paid attention to this matter." Minister, that Manager Zhang has involved a lot of people, you can find out from the Criminal Department. ”
"Mr. Zhang?"
Just when Jiang Yun wanted to ask more, there was a rapid sound of going downstairs behind him.
"Minister, why are you still here!" Ke Xinyu and the two middle-aged men walked down together, the former of the two middle-aged people was wearing a green shirt, embroidered with a sign of wind and rain, presumably the person from the breeze and drizzle building. The second person in a tan shirt should be someone from Flowrock Castle.
"Yo, Vice Minister Ke, is there a guest?"
Jiang Yun pretended not to know the identities of the two, and after a glance, he greeted Ke Xinyu with a smile.
"Minister, who are you..." Ke Xinyu glanced at the weird first floor, he couldn't wait for Jiang Yun's people to come, so he asked his assistant to look for it, but he didn't want to secretly see Jiang Yun talking on the first floor, and immediately couldn't sit still and came down without stopping.
"I am exchanging feelings with everyone, after all, I have just arrived, and familiarity is also conducive to the development of work." Jiang Yun couldn't see anything unusual.
"Minister Ke, Minister Jiang is asking us about the shop that provided us with stone and wood carvings when we recruited disciples last year. By the way, you have to fire me, I have always worked honestly, minister, you can help me talk to Minister Jiang. At this moment, the man who had just offended Jiang Yun spoke again, and one sentence explained what Jiang Yun had just asked.
Jiang Yun turned his head and glanced at him with a smile.
Dog, I don't dare to kill you, right? In one sentence, the two ministers simply don't take me seriously.
"Eh, you're all busy with your business." Ke Xinyu gave the man a slightly calm look and motioned for him to sit down, and then asked Jiang Yundao, "Minister Jiang, let me introduce you first, these two are the heads of the two major sects in the west of our city, on the left is Hu Anqing, the head of the Qingfeng Drizzle Building, and on the right is Yan Tuo, the head of Liuyan Castle. ”
"Oh!" Jiang Yun saw that the two of them were not good, and he didn't bother to shake hands, so he turned his head and said, "You guys are busy with yours, I'll go back to the office first." ”
Lao Tzu just doesn't follow your rhythm!
"Minister, Minister." Ke Xinyu actually stopped Jiang Yun, as if he was about to talk in front of everyone in the foreign affairs department in the hall on this floor, "The two heads are going to talk to you about the things you said yesterday, because there are some things that I can't make decisions, so I ask the two heads to come and talk to you in person." ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yun asked pretending not to know.
"Minister Jiang, I heard that you want to refund half of the test fee for those who are not admitted?" The head of the Qingfeng Drizzle Building was not too aggressive, and asked politely.
"It's not." Jiang Yun shook his head in denial.
"Huh?" The three of them were directly stunned, you opened your eyes and said nonsense, right?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun answered, "I was wrong at the time, it should be from this time onwards, the test fee will be halved, and all children who pass the test and are admitted to the two major schools will just pay the excess money." ”
"Minister Jiang also said that he must be present in person to receive the agency fee we gave to the local hearing court? Even if Minister Ke is there? ”
"I said that." Jiang Yun said calmly, "I don't think the agency fee you give is inappropriate, as far as I know, your two factions recruit about 2,000 disciples a year, and each person can collect nearly fifty gold just for the test fee and registration fee." After entering your sect, you will also be charged other miscellaneous fees by you for various expenses, as high as three gold per person a year, that is, from these two thousand people alone, you can gain more than six thousand gold a year. ”
"In addition, everything these disciples in the sect is exchanged for contribution points, and you also set up a mechanism for exchanging contribution points for gold cakes..."
"Not to mention the shops you opened in the city with the help of your official status, and at this time of year, you make a lot of money, and those people choose the shops of your official sect when they go to the city to eat and live, and as a result, you wantonly raise prices."
Jiang Yun shook his head, this is not just not treating the outer disciples as people, it is simply a tool to make money, all kinds of cutting leeks are simply unconscionable, many families try their best to send their children to the sect of cultivation, but the result is just a bigger scam, squeezing all the parents' money from the children.
"Those children chose you because the Underground Hearing Court gave you the status of the official sect."
"And you, who have no money to squeeze them, send them out to do odd jobs to make money for you. Of course, I don't care about the internal affairs of your sect. But this agency fee, you only give 200 gold to the local hearing court every year, are you using the local hearing court as a tool for you to make money? Could it be that my official status as a court is so worthless? ”
Jiang Yun's voice echoed throughout the first floor of the hall, resoundingly.
"This agency fee must be increased this year! The test fee must be halved this year! ”
