Li Jinglong is still honest and reliable, he said this, even if he becomes a big fat man in the future, he must respect Xu Jingchang for three points, and he will not dare to slack off at all.

Although they are all noble and wealthy families, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

"Xu Yi, do you see that now, our family has the original weather?" Xu Jingchang asked with a smile.

When Xu Yi heard this, he lost his mind for a while, and then said: "Grandpa Guo ate moon cakes, and he said that since the King of Zhongshan left, the Xu family has only been in the hands of the young master, and there are signs of Zhongxing, and he is ashamed of his ancestors." ”

As he spoke, Xu Yi took out a roster from his arms and handed it to Xu Jingchang.

"Childe, this is given to the old slave by the Guogong, which remembers the generals who have gone out from the Xu Mansion for so many years, some of them serve as commanders at the border passes, and some of them supervise the troops in the provinces to suppress bandits. Although the position is not high, it can be used after a long time. So he gave the list to Childe, hoping that Childe would be able to use it. ”

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, and then took it in his hand, but he didn't expand it, but just smiled with emotion, "It is said that the wealthy families, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, which is about the case." Uncle he worked hard, and most of it was for this ......"

Xu Jingchang squeezed it in his hand, and suddenly looked at the small stove next to him, on which was sitting a teapot, and then Xu Jingchang threw the roster into the fire.

Xu Yi was startled and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

This family is the son of the son, no matter what he does, it is a matter of course.

"The old Xu family has come to an end, and it's useless to keep these anymore. Whoever finds our family in the future will do things according to the rules. No one should tell me about old friendships, I don't eat this. ”

Xu Yi was stunned and nodded vigorously, "The old slave remembers." ”

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, "I still have to go to the General Administration, there may be a lot of people looking for me to do things these days, remember, not a single one." If you can't stop it, let me leave through the door of the Xu family. ”

After explaining this sentence, Xu Jingchang went to the General Administration.

In the past, the Chief Secretary was only responsible for the delivery of official documents, and at most he followed up the progress of the project, although it was already very prominent, but in the end it was still a little less interesting.

However, when Zhu Di decided to use troops against North Korea, the situation of the entire General Administration Department changed abruptly.

When you are in it, you can really feel the atmosphere of the center of the country.

"Su Songchang Town, the four prefectures, sent 1.5 million stone autumn grain into Beijing, of which 500,000 stone was allocated and sent to Liujiagang to be used by Zheng He's sailors."

"Order Shandong, overcome all difficulties, requisition 100,000 people, transport heavy ordnance, and support the army's pre-expenses."

"This is a preliminary list drawn up by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, which is used to enrich officials at all levels in Liaodong and let them rush to repair roads in advance."

"Also, the Ministry of Industry supervises the construction of thirty warships, which must be completed within three months."

……

Above the lobby of the General Administration Department, all government affairs, in order to respond to the dispatch of troops, money, food and people, road construction and shipbuilding, and personnel adjustments, all fell to the General Administration Department.

The Department of Communications issued orders to the outside world, and at the same time supervised the progress of the office in various places.

For different government affairs, some are reported every five days, such as shipbuilding. Some are reported every three days, such as the recruitment of people's husbands. There is also a report every day, that is, the situation of the transfer of troops and horses in various places.

These matters were sent to the General Administration Department, divided into categories, and hung on the lobby, and it was clear who did a good job and who didn't.

For example, Songjiang Prefecture has completed 30% of the progress of grain allocation, but Suzhou has 70% of it...... You have to give a proper explanation, and then send it in as soon as possible, and if you can't complete the task, then I'm sorry, the next step is to impeach.

If it is placed in normal times, it can also be prevaricated in official documents, and the six yamen will also find a way to protect it, in short, it is easy to discuss.

But in wartime, when an order goes down, it will bear fruit.

If it doesn't work, get out, and if it doesn't work, let your head go.

In just a few days, people feel the terrible thing about the General Administration.

At the beginning, he also said that he would prevent the Secretary for General Administration from becoming a real prime minister in the future.

Looking at it now, it's not a matter of the future, but signs of it.

Xu Jingchang took the functions and powers conveyed by the General Administration Department to the extreme.

The six ministries can't do it, and even the cabinet can't do it.

Soon Zhu Di also discovered that instead of waiting for all kinds of news in the palace, the best way to know the progress of the preparations is to sit in the lobby of the General Administration Department, see the progress of each item, where the problem is serious, and directly issue an order to hold accountable.

Moreover, in order to discuss the convenience of government affairs, Zhu Di also called several cabinet scholars to personally supervise official affairs in the Department of General Affairs.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't welcome you, now that there are so many things in the General Administration Department, and there are more personnel, do you want to add some manpower to me, increase some budget, and let the minister serve Your Majesty better!"

Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang, thought about it and thought, "Okay, how many people do you want, do you have a strategy?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you see, there are thirteen Qing Officials Division under the Household Department, and each Qing Officials Division has set up Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, and the main officer...... Responsible for supervising the finance and taxation of the two capitals. The minister now supervises the six ministries, supervises local, military and civilian affairs, and also deals with foreign vassal affairs...... The burden is not lower than that of the household, do you think it is at least the specifications of the household? ”

Zhu Di thought about it seriously, and suddenly smiled: "If I give you these subordinate officials, you will be the real prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "If Your Majesty is unwilling, you won't say anything, but if you have any negligence, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You kid, you have a bad stomach." However, I have also arranged for the Cabinet Scholars to come to the General Administration in shifts, and they will be the Cabinet Ministers when they come out, and they will be the Cabinet Scholars when they enter. In this way, you also have manpower, and I also understand the situation of the imperial court, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, it's strange that this is the best of both worlds!

It is clear that you, Zhu Laosi, also covet the power of the political secretary, so you sent those sour Confucians in the cabinet.

It seems that there is still a considerable distance from turning the General Administration into a real prime minister.

Maybe under Zhu Di, he can't do it at all.

There is no way, we must believe in the wisdom of future generations......

Zhu Da Fatty, when will you enter Beijing?

I miss you!

Zhu Gaochi didn't have time to enter Beijing, he still had to sit in Beiping, responsible for mobilizing troops and horses, and punishing the rebellious king of Korea. But Zhu Gaochi had already asked his wife Zhang, carrying his eldest son Zhu Zhanji, to move first and go to Yingtian.

"Your Highness, you still have to allocate grain and grass, and the affairs are complicated, why don't you wait until your side is fine, and our family will go to Yingtian again, wouldn't it be better?"

Zhu Dapang shook his head again and again, "I want to do that too, but you don't know yet?" The second child has long had the heart of seizing the heir, he was named the king of Han, I have not become the prince for a long time, if it is not for the queen mother to enter Beijing in time, I am afraid that the overall situation will be out of control. There is also the third child, he captured Tie Xuan and also entered the capital, with these two people, I don't know what is going on in the capital, I'm afraid there will be changes. ”

Zhang said with a bitter face: "I'm a woman, even if there is something, I can't help, isn't it in vain?" ”

"Hey, it's not like this, listen to me, the queen mother has already confessed to me, and now the only one who can help me is my cousin Xu Jingchang. At the beginning, he rode on my back and asked me to be his horse, and after all these years, he should help me. It's a big deal, I owe him a lot of favors. You take our son over and let this boy be closer to his cousin. His cousin is now a political envoy and wields great power. Let him serve as his own father, and our grandfather will rely on him. ”

Zhang Shi rolled his eyes, "I said that you are also a big man, you will buy your son everywhere, the father and the queen mother, and when you go to Xu Tongzheng, you are not ashamed?" ”

"What a shame! You don't know what it means to be a parent? People say that the eldest grandson and old son, the lifeblood of his father and mother, my boss is not welcomed, and your eldest daughter-in-law is also scolded. Now that my father is sitting on the dragon chair, our family is the most difficult. ”

Zhang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I know, does Your Highness have anything else to explain?" ”

Zhu Gaochi thought about it seriously, "There is only one sentence, I will be a daughter-in-law and hide it at both ends, be careful!" ”
