Zhuge Liang first listed the severity of the matter in a form, and listed the process of this matter in a form, and compared the two forms, which department has the most important responsibility and which department has the lightest responsibility, it is clear at a glance.

Then Zhuge Liang also gave his own views according to the current actual state of various departments, such as the chaotic state of the Ministry of Industry, etc.

He felt that it was not beneficial to the whole thing to properly hand over some matters to the household department and the military department to connect with the local government to reduce the burden on the Ministry of Industry and fill the burden of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhuge Liang also summed up the manpower and material resources and approximate time flow required for each link, and even found "calculation errors" in some of the departments.

He circled these calculation errors, calculated according to his mathematical knowledge, came up with the correct answers, listed these correct answers, corrected the time flow listed by each department, compared it with the original plan, and came to a final conclusion.

If all departments worked together, they were able to complete the task seven days ahead of schedule.

This conclusion is so complicated and difficult to draw a conclusion, if it is left to Chen Qun to deal with it himself, it will take at least an hour to co-ordinate.

Zhuge Liang took two hours, which is not fast, but as a novice rookie who has watched politics for three months, and as a newcomer who has not been involved in this kind of affairs before, he can even take into account the relationship between various departments, consider the cost of interpersonal contacts, and give some ideas to reduce friction costs.

For example, Zhuge Liang felt that instead of letting the various departments that were difficult to understand each other coordinate by themselves, it was better for the Son of Heaven to directly intervene and order the cabinet to participate in it, so that the cabinet could play the role of a lubricant.

Let the cabinet come forward more, and use the special status of the cabinet to make all departments jealous and dare not mess around, perhaps it will be able to improve the efficiency of this matter.

The Cabinet has no authority, there is no conflict of interest with them, and there is no antagonism between them, and more importantly, the people in the Cabinet are very professional, have some contacts with the people in their departments, and are very familiar with each other.

Even Zhuge Liang suggested that it would be better for the cabinet to take the lead in setting up a joint work group, handle special affairs, take power temporarily, remove the post after the task is completed, and return everything to the original state, which will not affect the political ecology of the imperial court.

In this way, it can even eliminate the influence of the personal emotions of the department head on this matter to the greatest extent, so that the department head does not get involved in it, and can just pull the person who is specifically responsible for the work into it.

He even found a theoretical basis for this -

During the Second Empire, when there was a war in some places, it was necessary for a powerful person who could be the master to preside over the situation, so the imperial court temporarily set up the Overseer Imperial History to supervise the armies when it went out on the expedition, and dismissed the official after returning to the division.

Such things have happened many times, and even later the imperial court temporarily set up some generals to lead troops to fight, and the generals' term of office will end after the war, which will not affect the power structure of the imperial court.

It's just a special case.

Isn't that the best way to go?

Chen Qun looked stupid.

Where did this kid come from?

Is the imperial examination so godly?

This guy took three exams and directly selected an administrative genius?

Chen Qun looked at it carefully, read it again, picked up the pen, and wanted to make some modifications, but after thinking about it, he still put down the pen, and then went to Liu Bei with this handling opinion, handed over the plan made by Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei's opinion.

Liu Bei was quite pleasantly surprised after reading it.

Because this idea coincides with what he is going to do, and this is actually Zhuge Liang's idea.

"Is this really Zhuge Liang's idea? He came up with it all on his own? ”

"Yes, he came up with it alone, and the minister was not involved, so this matter was really unexpected by the minister."

Chen Qun said with a smile: "It's only been three months, this person has actually learned a considerable degree about some internal affairs of the imperial court administration, and can even think about it, thinking of things that no one else can think of, Your Majesty, does he really have no experience as an official before?" ”

"If you have to say anything, it can only be regarded as his brother Zhuge Jin has held a position, which may have a certain influence on him."

Liu Bei smiled: "But he himself must have no relevant experience, he is only nineteen years old, and he has been studying in the state school for the past four years, where does the experience come from?" In just three months, he has grown to this point, and I really didn't misunderstand him! ”

Chen Qun immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty has a discerning eye for talent, and directly named him as the champion, and the minister agrees very much, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to appoint him in the future?"

"How do you appoint him? I still plan to go down the normal channel and put him in the collective farm to accumulate experience, this road is the only way for our officials of the Han Kingdom, and it is indispensable. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said slowly: "If you want to be in a high position, you have to start from the most basic place, the foundation is not strong, the ground shakes, what, Changwen, what do you think?" ”

"Maybe this is indeed an indispensable path, but with Zhuge Kongming's talent, it is not impossible to do special things."

Chen Qun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that maybe Zhuge Liang can continue to stay in the cabinet for a period of time, let him fully understand the operation of the court and the locality, learn a little more, and then directly arrange him to work in a county, without having to enter the collective farm, what do you think?" ”

Liu Bei thought about it, but still shook his head.

"The collective farm still has to enter, the foundation of the Han lies in the collective farm, it lies in the farm one by one, if you don't understand the operation mode of this grassroots level, it is difficult to say what impact it will have on his future development, he is good enough, but I have to lay a solid foundation for him, the stronger the foundation, the better it is."

Saying this, Liu Bei looked at Chen Qun and said with a smile: "Changwen, when you put forward this idea, didn't you take a fancy to Zhuge Liang's ability and want him to be your deputy to help you reduce the pressure?" ”

Chen Qun smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister has indeed never seen Zhuge Liang such a capable newcomer, if you can let him stay by his side for a while, the minister must be able to ...... for a long time."

Liu Bei nodded, stood up and walked a few steps, thinking about it for a while.

"That's it, the war in Yizhou is about to start, I'm ready for you to lead a special service team, special affairs, and handle the logistics of Yizhou, this matter needs a lot of people to do, I will give you ten places, you choose ten from this group of people to join in."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Qun's face was overjoyed, and then he asked, "Your Majesty, will the scholars of various departments have any opinions on this matter?" ”

"What do they dare to think?"

Liu Bei said dissatisfiedly: "Things have come to this point, and we can't work together, I let you go out, which is the last warning to them, if you can't wake up, the heads of these departments can be replaced!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qun nodded, and didn't say anything more, he knew that Liu Bei had already made up his mind.

Since it was something he had made up his mind about, there was no point in anyone trying to persuade him.

So the emperor's will was soon issued, and the news about Chen Qun, a cabinet official, leading a special office group for Yizhou affairs, quickly spread throughout the court and beyond, and officials from various departments had different opinions on this, but to be precise, Chen Qun didn't care anymore.

He called Zhuge Liang to the front and handed over his appointment to Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang saw it, his face was full of doubts.

"Entering the Yizhou Affairs Special Office? I...... Shouldn't it be sent out into collective farms? ”

Chen Qun shook his head.

"You are very talented, so I suggest to Your Majesty that you stay in the cabinet for a while, and it just so happens that after that, I will lead the officials of various departments to establish an office group, which will be fully responsible for the logistics of the next war in Yizhou until the war in Yizhou is settled.

Your Majesty and I both think you are very talented, so I will give you a special opportunity to join this office group and feel what kind of atmosphere it is like when you really handle urgent matters, and what you need to do.

Zhuge Kongming, are you ready? In the next few months, there will be so many things that the office team will have to do, so much that it is hard to believe, even far more than the things you have been exposed to in the cabinet during this time, and the level of busyness will be even higher, would you like to? ”

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang did not hesitate, and accepted Chen Qun's invitation with an excited face.

Chen Qun nodded happily.

Good boy, I know that you are willing, there are not many such useful boys now, so motivated, talented, willing to endure hardships and suffering, with this kid joining, my old bones can rest more, otherwise this package of things can be enough for me.

With Zhuge Liang as his personal secret, Chen Qun felt that this wave of tasks might not be difficult for him, and there were many things that he could completely hand over to Zhuge Liang to do.

After that, Chen Qun referred to the opinions of his subordinates, made a wave of evaluations of this wave of newcomers, and selected ten people who were relatively better to enter his work group, and it is worth mentioning that all six people in Zhuge Liang's small group were selected.

Chen Yao provided a lot of help to their selection.

He strongly recommended these six people in front of Chen Qun, and believed that these six newcomers led by Zhuge Liang were already regarded as the new combat power group of the cabinet, and they had initially formed "combat effectiveness", as long as they were given some guidance, they could play an unexpected role.

As for the rest of the 10 people, they were assigned to the local grass-roots level where there was a shortage of manpower, and went to the local grass-roots collective farms to officially start their official careers.

None of them were deposed because they did not perform very well, mainly because in recent years, the grassroots level of the Han Empire was indeed short of manpower, and a large number of capable and skilled officials were transferred from the interior to Liaozhou, Yangzhou, the Western Regions and other places to carry out arduous pioneering tasks, but a large number of relatively easy positions in the interior were vacated.

These positions are just right for those newcomers.

It was only at this time that Zhuge Liang knew that the things Chen Yao said were all false and he used to deceive people, and Zhuge Liang was quite depressed about this.

Chen Yao didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"What? Think I'm doing something wrong? I am indeed your examiner, so why not give you a little test? Let me tell you, this is just a small scene and a small means, if you want to be a high-ranking official in the future, you need to face more scenes, what is this?

In the future, you will have to face a lot of shameless people, these people may even bury your whole person, even if you win the fight with them, you may not be the final winner, no one can protect you forever, you can always protect you only yourself, so, learn more! ”

Chen Yao walked to Zhuge Liang's side, patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't patronize the ability to learn to do things, but also learn the skills to fight against people, this is what Your Majesty taught me, if you can do things, you must also be able to do things, only in this way can you go further."

Also, never trust the people around you too much, you know, now you meet all the good people, they are all good talents, but you can't always be so lucky, in case, meet selfish and brazen people? ”

Chen Yao gave Zhuge Liang one last piece of advice and left.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time and did not speak.

PS: I'm ready to wrap up, and this month is over.
